Another two months passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhao Linchong opened eleven qi orifices and was about to enter the second level of qi refining.
This kind of cultivation speed is not outstanding, not as good as those with high-grade spiritual roots among disciples, and it is ordinary among those with middle-grade spiritual roots.
But Zhao Lin knew that this was all due to the slow pace of cultivation in the first two months.
When opening the pulse, three qi orifices were opened. In the first two months, there were three qi orifices, but in the last two months, five qi orifices were opened.
Comparing the two phases, the effect is significant.
Of course, only he himself knows the hardships involved.
While others practiced for one hour, he had to practice for three hours, and he also experienced a painful experience of violently breaking through the orifices, which resulted in the burning of the meridians and the boiling of the pulses.
Although the body healed quickly, the feeling was quite unpleasant.
Zhao Lin made a rough estimate and found that his current cultivation speed was close to that of a high-grade spiritual root. This was all due to the Pipa catfish spirit.
But the most dazzling among the disciples is Lin Chaoran.
Just as everyone expected, he broke through to the third level of Qi Refining, leaving everyone far behind.
But after that, his cultivation speed also slowed down.
This is a normal phenomenon: the higher the cultivation level, the more Qi orifices need to be maintained, and the difficulty gradually increases.
In the past two months, in addition to improving his cultivation, Zhao Lin also practiced the two most basic spells: Qi Watching and Spirit Knife to the "entry" level.
Watching Qi can check the cultivation level of monks. Watching spiritual energy is a compulsory spell for all sects, and it is the first important skill.
At the entry level of the Qi Watching Technique, one can only tell which small realm the Qi Refining Realm monk is roughly in, but the specific level can only be seen after practicing to the "Proficient" and "Xiao Cheng" levels.
If you reach the mastery level, you can not only see spiritual energy, but also corpse energy, yin energy, demon energy, evil energy, gang energy and other external energy.
If you practice to great success and perfection, you can even survey the earth's veins and even spy on the cultivation of high-level monks.
The Qi Watching Technique is an auxiliary spell, but the Spiritual Knife Technique is the real way to kill.
Zhao Lin chose to practice the spirit sword technique, naturally because of his status as a martial artist.
Spiritual Sword Technique is a general term for a type of magic.
If you use the spiritual power of the water element to control the sword, it is water sword technique; if you use the wood element to drive it, it is wood sword technique.
In fact, the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and the two elements of wind and ice can be used to practice spiritual sword skills.
Only the thunder attribute, although powerful, is straightforward, lacks change, and has no thunder sword skills.
This spell focuses on flexibility. After careful consideration, Zhao Lin decided to practice the wind knife technique.
Although Wind Sword Technique is a first-level spell, its power cannot be underestimated if it is practiced to the point of perfection.
The levels of spells are based on the requirements for mana. The power of first-level spells is not necessarily weaker than that of second-level spells.
According to legend, Senior Brother Gong said that once he has perfected his spiritual sword skills, he can even kill a Foundation Establishment monk with one sword.
It can also be seen from this that low-level monks can challenge high-level monks by cultivating low-level spells to the strongest level.
Of course, every time a spell is upgraded to a level, the difficulty of cultivation increases exponentially. If you want to perfect a first-level spell, it is not much easier than building a foundation.
Overall, Zhao Lin is quite satisfied with his practice.
The only trouble is that the spirit animal map is still "lying" and I don't know when it will recover.
…
"The most important thing in spiritual sword skills is agility, and the second is power. When casting the spell, it must be locked with spiritual consciousness, so that it can be controlled freely, like an arm using fingers."
"Otherwise, it will be a death knife. The enemy is not a wooden stake. The flying knife that cannot change is no threat!"
In the Yanfa Pavilion, a thirty-year-old monk with a medium build and a steel-faced eyebrows was talking eloquently.
There are more than a dozen disciples sitting under the stage, half of them are new disciples who have started this year, and the other half are "old disciples" who have been started for a year or two.
The spells taught at Lingdao Academy are divided into two types: "compulsory" and "elective".
In addition to several compulsory spells such as qi gazing and body protection, disciples can freely choose the spells they want to practice based on their own attributes and preferences.
There are many first-level spells, such as diving, object-repelling, wind-fixing, cloud-transforming, five-element, earth-piercing, water-illusion, fireball, healing, divine movement...
There are tens of millions of Taoist techniques, but the art of killing only accounts for a small part of them.
In the same way, there are thousands of monks in Hanchi County, but most of them are engaged in spiritual fields, beast control, planting, weapon refining and other industries, and less than one tenth of them are really good at martial arts.
Compared to killing, the disciples are more willing to practice some magic related to Taoism. In this way, you can practice safely and stably, and you can also earn spiritual stones, killing two birds with one stone.
As for those who practice the art of killing, they can only obtain various resources through combat power. They are likely to be sent on dangerous missions, which greatly increases the risk.
Unlike others, Zhao Lin, as a martial arts cultivator, had almost no choice.
It is hard to imagine a martial artist raising bees, raising silkworms, and playing with flowers and plants in the garden. This is equivalent to giving up one's own specialty.
Since you are a martial artist, you should follow your own path wholeheartedly and look around, which will only distract you!
Moreover, Zhao Lin still had a thought in practicing the way of killing.
Chenghua Sect will conduct a sect-wide "fighting" every three years.
Those who stand out in the battle can obtain spiritual stones, magic weapons, elixirs, good deeds and other benefits.
When Zhao Lin first heard the news, he was a little happy. He might not be good at anything else, but he had a natural advantage in combat.
But when he learned the details of the fight, his heart dropped.
It turns out that sect fighting is divided into age groups. If you want to participate in the competition in the youth group, you must be a disciple of the Spiritual Dao Academy under the age of twenty.
Zhao Lin will soon be thirty-two years old, and he will definitely not be able to enter this group.
There is also an elite group, where all monks under the age of 40 can participate.
Those who can enter this group are basically all young monks who have reached the eighth or ninth level of Qi refining. They are all elites in the sect and wizards in cultivation.
Compared with these people, Zhao Lin's advantage no longer exists.
But after much thought, he decided to set his goal on this.
The reason is good deeds!
The so-called good deeds can be understood as a currency that is only circulated within the sect, and it is a high-value currency.
Good deeds can be exchanged for elixirs, exercises, spiritual stones, and even cultivation caves, but not vice versa.
If you refine the elixir well, cultivate the spiritual grass well, or create a talisman... you can only obtain good deeds if you contribute to the sect.
Participating in sect fighting is currently the only way Zhao Lin can think of that is suitable for him to obtain good deeds.
His purpose for doing good deeds is for no other reason than to build the Foundation Pill!
Cultivation is inseparable from pills, especially in the middle and late stages of Qi refining. Ning Yuan Dan and Huang Gu Dan can help monks break through the bottleneck between Qi refining layers.
And the Foundation Establishment Pill can greatly increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment.
Chenghua Sect has many disciples, and it is impossible to supply a sufficient amount of elixirs to each disciple.
Except for people like Lin Chaoran who are talented in the earth spirit root and do not need to worry about elixirs, most disciples can only rely on accumulating good deeds to redeem the qualifications for taking elixirs.
Zhao Lin has always taken precautions and had already set his sights on the Foundation Establishment Pill from the beginning of his cultivation.
"All disciples gather in the square...including disciples who are teaching and performing the exercises."
At this time, a sound like a bell sounded from the Lingdao Temple.
