Inside the Green Bamboo Courtyard.
Zhou Qing carried the remaining half of the spiritual bamboo and hurriedly came to the Supervision Office to hand it over, so that he could check his name in the merit book.
After completing the check-in, he did not slow down. Instead, he hurried to his residence while the negative state of "physical exhaustion" was still there.
A moment later:
Zhou Qing returned to his small courtyard.
This is a courtyard similar to a courtyard. In addition to Zhou Qing, there are also three new disciples living there.
When choosing a place to live half a month ago, because Zhou Qing's movements were a little slow, he could only squeeze in with others.
At this moment, in the small courtyard.
"boom……"
A ball of flames the size of a human head was burning. It was three new disciples who were practicing their spells excitedly.
One of the young men was dressed in brocade clothes and had a childish face. He was obviously the youngest, but the remaining two young men seemed to be dominated by him, with a hint of flattery in their expressions unconsciously.
"Senior Brother Liu, Senior Brother Li, and Senior Brother Zhang."
Zhou Qing happened to see this scene when he returned to the small courtyard, and immediately took the initiative to say hello.
"Junior Brother Zhou."
"Junior Brother Zhou, you are back."
Li Yuanhui and Zhang Liang responded one after another, while Liu Songran, the young man in brocade clothes, nodded casually, which was regarded as a response.
Zhou Qing didn't take it seriously when he saw this. After apologizing, he returned to his room.
Since he leaves early and comes back late, he spends almost the whole day in the bamboo sea, so his relationship with these three "roommates" is also very ordinary. They are basically casual acquaintances and more familiar than strangers.
Among the three:
Liu Songran has the deepest background. It is said that he is also from a noble family and is of the same clan as "Mr. Liu", but his status is obviously not comparable.
Mr. Liu comes from the direct lineage of Dafang. He has no shortage of spiritual stones, many magical weapons, and several servants. His background is one of the best among the entire group of new disciples.
As for Liu Songran, it is said that he was born as a concubine of the same generation and his treatment was much worse.
But even so, Li Yuanhui and Zhang Liang were very fawning to him. After all, Liu Songran could easily get hundreds of spiritual stones from home in a month. It’s useful.
"Junior brother Zhou is really working hard!"
After seeing Zhou Qing dragging his tired body back to the house, Zhang Liang withdrew his gaze and said something meaningful.
"Huh! He didn't ask for it."
Liu Songran, a young man in brocade clothes, snorted coldly.
Half a month ago, when the four of them had just moved into this small courtyard, he had also taken the initiative to show his kindness to Zhou Qing, thinking that he could have an extra sparring partner and playmate.
But who would have expected that Zhou Qing rejected him without hesitation, in front of Li Yuanhui and Zhang Liang, which made him feel that he was a bit embarrassed and had no good impression of Zhou Qing.
As for Zhou Qing's subsequent choices, he was even more scornful - instead of earning easy reward money, he went to work hard and worked hard for a month to earn five more spiritual stones, which also delayed his own cultivation.
Isn't this a disease?
"..."
After Li Yuanhui and Zhang Liang saw Liu Songran's reaction, they quietly looked at each other and saw a little smile in each other's eyes.
Of course Zhang Liang said this on purpose, just to arouse Liu Songran's resentment towards Zhou Qing from time to time, for fear that he would try to win over Zhou Qing again.
after all:
The reward money Liu Songran can distribute to them every month is definitely limited. It is much better to divide it between two people than three people.
"Ignore him, let's continue."
As soon as Liu Songran's thoughts changed, he put Zhou Qing's matter behind him and continued to practice his spells with great interest.
the other side.
Zhou Qing, who returned to the house, turned his ears slightly and heard the conversation in the courtyard clearly.
"As expected of the rich and powerful, they have been engaging in intrigues and intrigues since they were teenagers, trying every opportunity to climb up the ladder."
Zhou Qing shook his head secretly, feeling filled with emotion.
Regardless of the many disciples in the outer courtyard, who are very humble and fawning over the children of the aristocratic families, most of them, outside the Chunyang Immortal Sect and in the Eastern Wilderness countries, are all princes, grandsons, and hereditary nobles.
The aristocratic families that Liu Songran, Liu Gongzi and others came from were naturally not secular wealthy families, but an immortal family with a long history and close relationship with the Chunyang Immortal Sect.
"If I didn't have a career panel, I probably wouldn't be able to help myself and try to curry favor with the children of those aristocratic families."
In Zhou Qing's heart, thoughts turned slightly.
He had heard Li Yuanhui and Zhang Liang brag to others about how they had enjoyed practicing magic with Liu Songran for the past half month, and each had received seven or eight spiritual stones as a reward.
In such a comparison, Zhou Qing's hard work of chopping up spiritual bamboos in exchange for spiritual stones does seem very stupid. Li Yuanhui and Zhang Liang did not say anything, but they must have been filled with contempt and ridicule in their hearts, as if they were watching a joke.
Zhou Qing knew this very well, but he didn't care at all. He still went his own way and remained unwavering.
"How can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan?"
He was in a very calm mood:
"Practice!"
Zhou Qing came to sit on the futon, crossed his legs, closed his eyes, relaxed his mind, and began to sense the aura between heaven and earth.
It is said in "Pure Yang Gong" that the so-called aura of heaven and earth is actually the external manifestation of the operation of the power of heaven and earth. Although it is intangible and qualityless, it is real.
The power of heaven and earth embraces everything, and the aura of heaven and earth manifested from it is naturally no exception. It is called "the source of all phases and the pivot of heaven and earth" and contains thousands of infinite types of power. It all depends on how the practitioner uses it. differentiation.
simply put:
If divided by the five elements, all the auras of heaven and earth can be divided into five types: metal, wood, water, fire and earth.
According to the differentiation of yin and yang, the spiritual energy can be divided into two qi, yin and yang; according to the differentiation of clear and turbidity, the spiritual energy can be divided into two qi, clear and turbid; in addition, there are countless types such as light, darkness, wind and thunder, ice, frost, rain and snow, lava magnetism, etc. .
All these types of differentiation are correct and established, and the corresponding power can be extracted from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Some extreme forces, such as the purple energy of morning glow when the sun rises, the residual darkness and eclipse energy when dusk falls, the power of the three lights of the sun, moon and stars, the power of desolation that makes all spirits decay...etc., all powers are in spiritual energy. among.
Everything exists, and one is ten thousand.
Thanks to the characteristics of spiritual energy, and the fact that there is no such thing as spiritual roots or spiritual veins in this world, it is difficult to quantify talents and qualifications. Therefore, there are many selections and trainings for external disciples, and it depends on who can pass through all the difficulties. Close, stand out.
When the waves wash away the sand, real gold is found.
"Wow..."
Zhou Qing silently recited the scriptures of "Pure Yang Kung" and visualized the "Dharma of the Emperor of the Great Sun" as described in the technique. He immediately felt the two vast and boundless vitality everywhere in his body, filling Qingming.
One energy was mellow, warm, and masculine, which had a natural attraction to him; the other was as quiet as night and as warm as water, and seemed a bit repulsive to him.
This is the two qi of yin and yang!
"Pure Yang Kung Fu" follows the path of dividing yin and yang, and specializes in the pure yang lineage. It emphasizes being neutral, gentle, and pure in magic power, so it was selected as the basic technique of the Chunyang Immortal Sect.
Looking at the entire Eastern Wasteland, "Pure Yang Gong" is a famous foundation-building method. It is said that even the head of the Chunyang Immortal Sect is an introduction to this method.
"It's a pity that the time is wrong and the yang energy is a bit low!"
Zhou Qing's heart moved slightly.
Spiritual energy differentiates between yin and yang, which is naturally affected by the time and place. During the day, yang energy is abundant, while at night, yin energy prevails.
Now that the sun has set, the yang energy inevitably begins to decline, and the yin energy gradually begins to dominate.
"Hurry up!"
Zhou Qing did not dare to neglect, and took the time to breathe out spiritual energy and refine his magic power.
The first realm of immortality is called opening the pulse.
A steady stream of Yang Qi enters the body, travels in the Qi meridians, and is transformed into strands of mana. The old and new mana converge in one place and arrive at the gap in the Qi meridians.
Pure Yang mana is like countless threads, constantly weaving in the gaps in the Qi meridians, extending the Qi meridians bit by bit - this is the process of "opening the meridians".
The deeper the mana, the faster the invisible energy veins are cast; and once an air vein is formed, it will feed back the mana, making it deeper and deeper. The two are complementary to each other.
In just half a month:
With the help of the career panel, Zhou Qing had already forged twelve Qi meridians a few days ago, crossing the first level of opening the meridians and breaking through to the second level.
Now, he is forging the fifteenth Qi Vein, which is not only a symbol of his progress in cultivation, but also a sign of the progress of the [Pure Yang Kung] skill on the career panel.
"Ding!"
Zhou Qing was immersed in practice when a crisp sound suddenly woke him up.
He subconsciously looked at the lower right corner of his field of vision, and suddenly found a series of prompts, and he was surprised and delighted:
"Sure enough, it's been upgraded!"
The professional talent [Hard-working and Hard-working] is being activated...
By practicing the skill [Pure Yang Kung], you have gained 1 point of corresponding skill experience.
Your professional skill [Pure Yang Kung] has been upgraded to level 2 (17/25)
You gained 1 point of professional experience by activating the professional talent [Hard-working and Hard-working]
congratulations! Your profession [Outer Court Disciple] has been upgraded!
Your profession [Outer Court Disciple] has been upgraded to level 3 (25/50)
You gained 1 attribute point and 1 skill point!
"call!"
Zhou Qing took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly, feeling a trace of sincere joy in his heart.
There is nothing more exciting than watching oneself become stronger step by step.
"Which attribute do you want to add this attribute point to?"
After Zhou Qing restrained his joy, he felt a little confused again.
The three attributes of Jing, Qi and Shen each have different uses and represent a part of him.
The first attribute, "Jing", is the collective name for essence, blood, and energy. It represents the overall strength of the body, including strength, speed, endurance, vitality, and other factors.
When he had just traveled through time more than half a month ago, he was still participating in the final level of the entry trial. Fortunately, his predecessor had already cultivated the aura of this body well, so although he did not get the memory of the original owner, he only spent a few seconds. Then he successfully learned "Pure Yang Kung".
At that time, his "Essence" attribute was 5 points. As he successfully opened his first Qi vein, and the aura of heaven and earth washed away the marrow and cut the veins, it immediately increased by two points, reaching 7 points.
At that time, he felt that his strength had greatly increased, his energy had become extremely strong, and his whole body was full of vitality. He had gained hundreds of kilograms of strength out of thin air and became as strong as an ox.
This is also the fundamental reason why the new disciples of the Twelve Outer Schools can undertake the heavy labor that is difficult for ordinary people to bear.
The second attribute "qi" is the collective name for the vitality of the whole body. According to Zhou Qing's actual measurement, it represents the sensitivity and compatibility with spiritual energy, as well as the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy and refining mana.
Simply put, this attribute represents the qualification to cultivate immortality in a narrow sense!
When Zhou Qing upgraded for the first time, he added the attribute points he obtained to the attribute "Qi", raising it from 5 points to 6 points.
This has slightly improved his Qi refining qualifications, improved the efficiency of practicing "Pure Yang Kung", and even gained the corresponding skill experience a little faster.
As for the final third attribute "god", Zhou Qing has not added it yet, but only has some guesses about its effect.
"Which one should I add?"
Zhou Qing still felt a little hesitant in his heart.
The most important thing in the cultivation of immortality is the refining of Qi. From this perspective, "Qi" among the three attributes is the most valuable, because it directly improves the qualifications.
But this second upgrade, adding attribute points to the "god", was also his long-awaited plan. Is it worth disrupting the plan?
