Wuxiang Sword Sect, on the cliff next to the Taoist temple.
A figure kept shuttling back and forth on the cliff, moving like a rabbit and as fast as the wind, leaving a series of faint afterimages behind it. This person was none other than Cheng Ling!
It has been three days since the new disciples competed in martial arts. He swept all the way and won the title of the new king of kings. What he is practicing now is the reward issued by the sect, the middle-grade body technique to chase the stars and the moon!
For three days, he practiced hard every day, and now he has finally reached the level of Xiaocheng. This movement technique is very suitable for close-range raids. After practicing it, you are no longer afraid of long-distance attacks by spells, and your combat power has been improved to a new level.
After practicing a few times, Cheng Ling stopped, sat cross-legged, and began to move the exercises to restore the consumed spiritual power.
After a while, all the spiritual energy in his body was restored, but he did not stop. Instead, he took out a jade bottle from the storage bag, took out a pill and swallowed it. Now that the body technique has been initially mastered, the next step is to improve the cultivation level.
The Qi-enhancing Pill melted in his mouth, and a huge spiritual power began to rise from his abdomen. He was busy guiding the spiritual energy and moving it along the lines of the exercises.
Since he got that technique in his mind, he tried it several times, but it never appeared again in his sleep. But he had an intuition in his heart that that skill definitely had more than two meridians. Perhaps his cultivation level was too low and he was unable to obtain subsequent skills.
A ray of spiritual energy was also mobilized in the dantian, which merged with the spiritual energy of the Qi-enhancing Pill and was quickly transported. Every trace of spiritual energy turned into warm currents and spread out to the meridians throughout the body. After carrying it for several cycles, the spiritual energy between the meridians slowly poured into the Dantian, and the spiritual energy in the Dantian also strengthened a little.
The effect of the first Qi-increasing pill was about to wear off, so Cheng Ling hurriedly swallowed another one. The spiritual energy in the body was replenished and it began to be transported again.
In this way, the power of a Qi-increasing pill can support his refining for an hour. Soon, three hours passed and the sky gradually darkened.
Cheng Ling temporarily stopped practicing, felt the fullness of his Dantian, and nodded with satisfaction. The three Qi-increasing pills have greatly enhanced the spiritual energy in his body. With just a few more Qi-increasing pills, he can reach the level of Qi-refining perfection.
Today’s practice is over, let’s go back and rest! Cultivation of Taoism is not something that happens overnight. At Cheng Ling's current age, such a level of cultivation is already very high. What's more, he still has the Foundation Establishment Pill in hand, so it will be a matter of course for him to achieve the perfection of Qi refining and build the Foundation!
It is said that a year and a half has passed since Cheng Ling's soul came to this world, and he is now ten years old. When I was ten years old on earth, I was still playing under my parents and elders. But in this world, we can only face the forces from all sides.
Cheng Ling had always kept in mind the threat from the Cheng and Chen families. Only in the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain could he completely relax. However, Xuan Lingzi only has four years left in his life. These four years are very precious to him. Only by laying a solid foundation can he go further in the future.
This is not for the pursuit of immortality, but for self-preservation. It's really ironic when I think about it. His soul piercing took over Chen Ling's body, but he also helped him resist these crises. Now he no longer feels any guilt towards Chen Ling.
If it had been him, he would have been crushed to pieces by these forces. Even if Cheng Xueyao, a seriously injured woman, had some scheming intentions, she was definitely not an enemy of the two families. Subconsciously, he had a bad impression of Cheng Xueyao.
Lying on the bed, I thought about today's practice again, and then fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Cheng Ling got up early, faced the rising sun, and began to practice basic swordsmanship. He no longer dared to underestimate these basic swordsmanship. In the competition between new disciples, he did not use any killing moves, and he reached the top twelve with just basic swordsmanship.
Moreover, when practicing basic swordsmanship, you will gain something new every day, and your moves will become even more invisible, like an antelope hanging its horns. Practicing other sword skills will make him more proficient, and he finally understands that the most important reason why a tall building can be built is that its foundation is solid.
Every morning, he would practice the thirty basic sword skills five times. After five times, he would start practicing Baiyun Swordsmanship, Lightning Swordsmanship, and then the Chasing Stars and Stepping on the Moon movement and spells. Chasing Stars and Stepping on the Moon requires a lot of spiritual energy to perform body movements and spells.
As he practices, he replenishes his spiritual power, and his cultivation level can also be improved. After I finished practicing my physical skills and spells, I started to improve my cultivation. The whole day was fully scheduled, and I didn't relax at all. It was different from the previous laziness.
After practicing in this way, he didn't feel hard, but felt that he was living a fulfilling life every day. With his personality, if he had been locked up in a Taoist temple on the top of the mountain all day long, he would have been unable to bear the loneliness, but now he was content with it.
Of course, pressure is a factor, and he can see his progress every day. He also feels that he has found a direction for his efforts in this world, just like starting a business on earth back then, not day and night, and never stopping for a moment.
Xuan Lingzi quietly came to the cliff and watched Cheng Ling practicing non-stop. He felt very satisfied that this disciple was finally on the right track. With his qualifications and understanding, his future achievements will definitely far exceed his own!
After Cheng Ling finished practicing, he said: "Ling'er, now that the newcomers' competition is over, you have to spend some time studying the formation."
Cheng Ling nodded and said, "Yes, master!"
As for the means that can increase his strength, the more the better, and the formation is not difficult for him. For some reason, Cheng Ling felt that she understood things much faster now than before. Not only did she have a photographic memory, but she could learn many things just by reading them once.
He attributed these to the integration of Chen Ling's memories after soul penetration. Two people always have more brain capacity than one person, and there will always be some bonuses in understanding the skills and formations.
In fact, this is also true. Cheng Ling's life experience of more than forty years exists in a ten-year-old child. This child's soul must be much stronger than ordinary people. As the soul becomes stronger, the corresponding understanding, spiritual consciousness, and spiritual power will also become stronger.
Even more mysterious is his luck. It can be said that Cheng Ling has never encountered anything pleasant in his more than forty years on earth. His parents' expectations have not been met, his business ventures have repeatedly failed, and his wife and children have left him. Even if he wanted to Those who committed suicide were struck by lightning and their souls were pierced.
And after arriving here, he first worshiped Xuan Lingzi as his teacher, and then obtained the mysterious golden page. His luck in drawing lots in the martial arts competition was also amazing. All kinds of events began to develop in a good direction, and his luck will become stronger and stronger in the future. There will be more opportunities, but these are not what he can see through now!
Seeing that he agreed, Xuan Lingzi said: "Array Dao, you are now a first-class array master. In the future, you must be more proficient in array formation methods, deduce the changes of arrays, and master the nodes. Only in this way can you lay a solid foundation and quickly promote!"
"Here is a book of Formation Dao experience. It is my teacher's hundreds of years of insights and study notes on the Formation Dao. You should study it carefully. You must know that the Formation Dao can not only help the sect, but also have a great impact on your own strength. Great improvement, the more methods you have at your disposal, the greater your confidence in saving your life!"
"Yes, thank you so much, master! Today I will reach the perfection of Qi refining first, and then I will take some time to understand the formation!"
Xuan Lingzi nodded and said: "When you reach the foundation building stage, you will also try to do some sect tasks. This is a sect rule and a kind of experience. Cultivating the Tao does not mean practicing behind closed doors. It only requires broad knowledge and understanding of the sect. Comprehension will be higher.”
"And experience is also a kind of tempering of the mind. Although the flowers in the greenhouse are beautiful, they do not last long. These teachers believe you can understand. Don't be afraid. Only after going through the baptism of life and death can your mind be suitable for cultivating Taoism and can you be successful in the world." Go further in the future!”
Cheng Ling looked at Xuan Lingzi. He was very lucky that he was a good mentor and a gentle elder. If it weren't for Shouyuan's problem, he might not be able to endure his previous laziness. But to become his disciple at exactly this moment is a kind of fate.
He sat down cross-legged, placed the sword across his legs, made a seal with his hands, took out the Qi-enhancing Pill and ate it. An hour later, the spiritual power of a Qi-increasing pill was completely consumed, and the spiritual power in the Dantian also increased a little.
He did not stop and continued to swallow Qi-enhancing pills and transfer spiritual power. By the time the fourth Qi-enhancing Pill was completely refined, the Dantian was filled with spiritual energy.
Slowly opening his eyes, he clasped his hands several times, feeling that his physical strength was inexhaustible, and his cultivation had finally reached the level of Qi refining.
Xuan Lingzi nodded with satisfaction and called out: "Okay! You have to stabilize your Qi-refining perfection for a few days, and then you can take the Foundation Establishment Pill and break through to the Foundation Establishment stage."
Cheng Ling nodded, took out the jade bottle and said, "Master, there are three Qi Enhancing Pills here. Can you help me give them to Su Rui?"
Su Rui has helped him many times, and now that he has extra Qi-enhancing pills, he wants to leave them to him so that he can improve his cultivation, so as not to be looked down upon and bullied by the people in the formation hall.
Xuan Lingzi took the jade bottle and said, "Don't worry. Now that he has worshiped an elder from the formation hall as his master, his future cultivation will be guaranteed."
Cheng Ling nodded and said no more. Everyone has their own destiny, and he couldn't take care of Su Rui for the rest of his life. But now, he hopes to practice a middle-grade swordsmanship.
He then said to Xuan Lingzi: "Master, can you get the secret book of middle-grade swordsmanship?"
Xuan Lingzi pondered for a while and said: "Middle-grade swordsmanship is not easy to master. It is usually found in the sword hall. I will go to the library to have a look tomorrow! But Ling'er, why can you practice swordsmanship with multiple attributes? Who are you? Planting spiritual roots?"
"I don't know either. Does practicing swordsmanship also require spiritual roots?"
"Yes, only when one's own spiritual roots are consistent can one practice corresponding swordsmanship. Otherwise, the progress of cultivation will be very slow. For example, if a monk with earthly spiritual roots is asked to practice water swordsmanship, he will probably not be able to achieve perfection in his lifetime. realm."
Cheng Ling thought. The swordsmanship he currently knows, including White Cloud Swordsmanship, Lightning Swordsmanship, and the swordsmanship in his mind should be from the wind system. They are not difficult to practice. Do he have these spiritual roots?
He then posed the question to Xuan Lingzi. Xuan Lingzi thought hard for a long time and couldn't explain the reason. He could only attribute the changes caused by Cheng Ling's seizure of other people's bodies.
