The dim light of the morning sun shone through the faint mist little by little, illuminating the landscape painting hidden in the vast night.
Crunch!
Crunch!
The action of pushing open the wooden door shook the dew off the door eaves, dripping on the sleepy faces of many inner disciples.
Perhaps in the eyes of the outer disciples, the inner disciples are noble and mysterious, but in fact, the inner disciples are not much different from them in daily life.
After all, everyone is in the Qi refining stage, but one has potential and the other doesn't, so it's not like their lives are completely different.
As for the outer disciples' imagination of traveling to Mu Cangwu in the North Sea and entering and exiting the Qingming Sea of Clouds, that is something that even the foundation-building monks may not be able to do, let alone them.
"Huh?!" A decent-looking inner disciple seemed to have noticed something and made a confused sound.
Because he saw, not far away, on the cliff facing Chaoyang, a figure wearing plain white robes stood upright in the sunlight, and the morning wind blew his robes flying.
"It has already passed the time of Dongfang Jibai. The amount of spiritual energy he can absorb and refine is not as much as cultivating in the cave. What is he doing standing there with nothing to do, being blown away by the wind?" The upright-looking disciple was a little confused.
However, after he saw who it was, he gave up the idea of going up and asking.
"I didn't expect it to be that junior brother Lin who shined in the outer sect competition... Forget it, people have their own reasons for doing things, so I'd better not go up and disturb him." He hesitated for a moment, then turned around and left.
Although they are both inner sect disciples, the other party won the top three in the outer sect competition and was promoted, while he came up based on his cultivation, which meant that there was a gap between the two of them.
It should be noted that to become an inner sect disciple, you only need to reach the late stage of Qi refining before the age of thirty, while the outer sect competition does not involve promotion of status. It seems unnecessary, but it is not.
Having been an inner sect disciple for many years, he is deeply aware that the inner and outer sect competition is currently the fairest promotion channel for Qingyun Sect that can demonstrate potential and win the favor of senior officials.
Because the competition between these two parties is not allowed to use talismans, spiritual weapons, elixirs and other items other than those made by oneself, it tests the monks' on-the-spot reaction ability and also tests the Taoist heart.
This greatly erased the advantages of monks with backgrounds and gave low-level monks a chance to get ahead.
Anyone who comes out on top in the competition between these two parties will receive the attention of the ancestors of the sect. As long as they continue to show this potential in the future, they will be favored by a large amount of resources and can even become true disciples.
A true disciple is one who is supported by the entire sect and has a noble status. Not only will he definitely become a monk in the foundation-building period, but even the golden elixir ancestors of all generations will come from this!
This method of selecting true disciples and allocating resources through competitions not only allows the Qingyun Sect to select outstanding talents, but also ensures the flow of classes and the vitality of competition. Coupled with the central control of the Jindan Patriarch, it can be said that it is extremely powerful. It achieves fairness and justice to a large extent, reduces the occurrence of resource monopoly, and enables outstanding talents to go further.
Therefore, these practices not only make the Qingyun Sect's talents more prosperous with each generation, but also make its overall strength stronger and stronger, becoming the largest immortal cultivating force in Lingnan!
"Although Junior Brother Lin and I are both inner disciples, the gap between us is bigger than... Well, I wish I had worked harder back then." The upright-looking disciple sighed softly and turned around, somewhat Walking down the mountain melancholy.
Lin Chen naturally didn't know what the disciple behind him was thinking, but stared blankly at the scene in front of him, somewhat lost in thought.
Because under the vision of spiritual awareness, the world in front of us is as ordinary as before, but it is very different.
The rising sun in the sky is not a celestial body emitting flames in the eyes, but a golden color that is made up of countless strange auras that overlap and overlap like a dream.
Lin Chen even vaguely saw countless spiritual energies disturbing and changing each other in the flow, and finally spewing out.
With a touch of noble purple purple Qi from the rising sun, the hot but awe-inspiring essence of the sun, and the pure Qi of the Nine Heavens that can only be found in the high heavens, etc.
These unique auras, which are very precious and rare for monks, are actually on the nine heavens, like ocean waves, layer upon layer, continuously gushing out from the sun, forming the bright clouds on the horizon!
Not only that, the sun's rays in the eyes of mortals, under the vision of the spiritual sense, actually have a trace of spirituality, and from time to time, silk-like streams of light fall in front of the eyes, like a golden rain of light.
All things in the world, especially the plants all over the mountains and plains, gradually emit an imperceptible but real luster under the light rain. The higher the level of spiritual plants, the brighter this faint luster becomes.
"The stars in the previous life emitted light and gave energy to all the plants on the planet, thereby nurturing all things..."
"The world in this life absorbs the energy of chaos from chaos, and then transforms it into spiritual energy from the sun, moon, and earth's spiritual veins and comes to the world. Plants absorb this very small amount of spiritual energy to grow, and finally nurture all living things... This world is really a world made of spiritual energy. A world made up of!”
Lin Chen stretched out his hand to grab the rising sun. As the true energy surged, dots of fluorescent light gathered in his hand, and finally formed a wisp of wandering pale white clouds!
This is the heavenly spiritual energy that spews out from the sun, forms clouds, and finally descends into the world to nourish all things!
"In the past life, the sun gave energy to nourish all things, but in this life, it is the spiritual energy contained in the sunlight that nourishes all living beings. And this spiritual energy has just been born, has no attributes, and is not interfered by the information of all things. To put it simply, it is gentle and easy to refine!"
Lin Chen continued to analyze the spiritual energy in his hands, and gradually understood the principles of how the world works.
In this world, the sun and moon are not celestial bodies, but symbols of the masculine and feminine forces between heaven and earth.
The world absorbs energy from chaos. Through the rotation of the sun and the moon, the flow of earth veins and other powerful forces, the energy of chaos is decomposed and becomes the original source of spiritual energy. After the energy level decreases and is affected by foreign objects, various strange spiritual energy are separated. , and finally form the most basic aura.
And because at dawn, the sun and the moon complete a cycle, at this time the world is refined and the amount of spiritual energy emitted by the rising sun is the largest. Monks can even absorb enough spiritual energy from it, and even have a chance to obtain the essence of the sun and moon, and the morning glow. Purple Qi and other strange auras are the reason why in common folk tales, there are legends about monks drinking cloud clouds to become immortals!
"But why do I always feel that the sun and the moon are a bit similar? They don't look like two objects, but like one existence, two sides of one body?"
Lin Chen was a little confused, but he didn't think much about it. After all, with his ability, it was impossible to reach the sun, so he still focused on the present.
"Unexpectedly, after I was promoted, what helped me the most was not the cicada's premonitory perception before the autumn wind moved, nor my combat power far beyond the same level, but this spiritual sense of observing the world!"
Compared with the Qi Refining period, where it is like a blind man touching an elephant, it is difficult to see the whole picture, and you have to use formations, spiritual talismans, etc. to help you. In the Foundation Building period, you can directly observe it, even if it is only part of it!
And with such a vision, compared to the past when he could only blindly breathe in a little spiritual energy in the morning during the Qi refining period, he can naturally do more things now!
At this moment, Lin Chen stretched out his hand, gently grabbed it into the morning light, and shouted:
"Gather!"
call! call!
As soon as he finished speaking, the true energy in his body surged out, constantly intertwined and pulled. It didn't take long for the spiritual energy in the morning light to be drawn over.
Wisps of light appeared around Lin Chen, swirling and extinguishing, forming a funnel-like cyclone.
If there are any monks observing from the side, they will be surprised to find that various kinds of spiritual energy such as the Heavenly Spiritual Energy, Lihuo Rijing, Yimu Spiritual Flower, etc. are swarming in at this moment and converging on a small cliff!
"Condensation!"
As he spoke, a mysterious white air appeared around Lin Chen, like a veil, mist, and even clouds. In just a short moment, it continued to expand, covering the entire cliff, as if it turned the place into a cloud. Wandering wonderland!
"Pick!"
In an instant, the wind and clouds surged, and countless clouds rushed into Lin Chen's hands. After a while, a Yunzhi with a white body and gold edges, and a vague mist appeared directly in Lin Chen's hands.
It feels as smooth as nephrite, with a hint of coolness, and the cloud edges are mixed with bright gold, just like the clouds when the sun rises in the sky.
Chao Cai Yunxia!
Looking at the strange treasure in his hand, even though the energy in his body was exhausted, Lin Chen's face showed a hint of joy.
This kind of spiritual energy is the first life of heaven and earth. Refining it can greatly increase your cultivation level and can even be used for realm advancement. For monks in the Qi refining stage, it is a very precious spiritual object!
This small flower alone is worth hundreds of spirit stones, and it’s still the basic price!
But such precious spiritual objects, for Lin Chen, are just something that can be easily obtained with a little time and effort!
"Although I relied on many years of research on spiritual energy to achieve this step, the help of spiritual sense is also indispensable. From this point of view, there is not only a gap in combat power between monks in different realms, but also a gap in productivity. What a difference..."
Lin Chen sighed with emotion, and then looked at Yunzhi in his hand.
This Yunzhi is a collection of various spiritual energies, and it needs to be decomposed and refined to produce spiritual energy that matches the attributes of one's own spiritual roots before it can be used.
"Just in time, with the help of my spiritual sense, I can try to refine the [Non-Toxic Qi Pill] that I have been studying for many years!"
Lin Chen smiled softly, then jumped up and rushed down the mountain.
…
The sun and the moon flowed like a stream, from dawn to dusk in a blink of an eye.
The setting sun melts gold, and the dim light gives the mountains a layer of warm color.
At this moment, Lin Chen came to the foot of the mountain and looked up.
This is where Qingyun Sect disciples refine their elixirs——
Danxia Peak!
