Defect?
Zhao Lin was shocked. This crime was too big!
In the world of cultivating immortals, a sect is similar to a country. Defection does not just mean leaving the sect, it also means surrendering to the enemy and transferring important resources and secrets to the enemy sect.
Defection is a serious crime in the secular world, and it will only be more serious in the world of cultivating immortals.
"Elder, what is the cultivation level of the monk who defected?"
Zhao Lin didn't ask about the reason for defecting. It was better not to ask about the inside information before confirming to accept the mission.
I guessed in my heart that it was probably because my personal desire to become stronger was not satisfied, or I had done something that was disappointing to the sect. I was worried about being exposed, so I simply stopped doing it and ran away with the money.
"Ninth level of body tempering!"
Elder Wu spoke word by word, with a hint of a test in his eyes, wanting to see if Zhao Lin could understand.
Tempered body...
Zhao Lin raised his eyebrows and thought quickly in his mind, "It's physical cultivation!"
The method cultivates the Qi, and the body cultivates the body.
Dharma cultivation is the mainstream in the world of immortality cultivation, but there are many other cultivation paths.
In addition to martial arts, there are also physical cultivation, ghost cultivation, demon cultivation, demon cultivation and other cultivation methods.
As for alchemy cultivators, weapon cultivators, talisman cultivators, etc., it is not accurate. These people are actually Dharma cultivators, they just have expertise and cannot be regarded as a cultivation method.
If you can't cultivate the Dharma and refine elixirs, it's not a Dharma cultivation.
There are some similarities between physical training and martial arts, but they are also very different.
Martial arts practitioners use martial arts to enter Taoism and condense their spiritual roots. However, after practicing Taoism, the way of practice is not much different from that of Dharma cultivation.
Just because he has practiced martial arts, his body is stronger, he is good at close combat, and his magic power is stronger when he is in the same realm, but because of the shackles of his body, it is more difficult to break through the realm.
In comparison, physical training is more pure.
Physical cultivation absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which is not stored in the meridians and acupoints like Dharma cultivation. Instead, it is blended into flesh and blood to strengthen the physical body, so the state is called body tempering.
For this reason, physical practitioners are not good at spells and can only practice some simple and basic spells. Their attainments can reach Xiao Cheng at most, and it is impossible to enter the master level.
But if you give up, you will gain, and the above efforts will be rewarded.
Physical cultivation spells are weak, but in exchange for an extremely powerful body, even martial arts cultivators find it difficult to match.
At the ninth level of body tempering, after tempering the whole body with spiritual power, it is comparable to a human-shaped magic weapon. Even the foundation-building monks dare not say that they will win.
Elder Wu nodded slightly, "Yes! You are right, it is indeed physical cultivation."
Zhao Lin said in confusion: "Elder, although the physical cultivation is strong, there are so many masters in the sect who are in the foundation building and purple mansion realms, can't they deal with just one physical cultivation?"
"Need to issue a special task?"
Elder Wu pondered for a moment and said: "The situation is a bit special. This person is extremely cunning. He had already planned his escape very carefully before the incident failed."
"After the sect found out, he had already fled to the border. After being surrounded several times, he escaped into a small abandoned world."
"There is no aura in that small world, the practice of law is extremely restricted, and it is also very unfriendly to high-level monks. It is difficult for Foundation Establishment monks to enter it."
"For some reasons, the sect cannot send a large number of monks in to sweep..."
Elder Wu didn't finish his words, but Zhao Lin had already understood.
A world without spiritual energy is indeed not conducive to Dharma practice.
A spell actually only requires the monk to devote part of his spiritual power, but more to mobilize the power of the five elements between heaven and earth.
If there is no aura, it means that the entire spell is output by the monk himself.
Firstly, the power of the spell has been weakened, and secondly, the spiritual power may be exhausted after releasing a few spells.
Although there are spiritual stones that can replenish spiritual power, it takes time after all. The critical moment is the difference between life and death.
However, physical cultivation hardly depends on the environment, and the power belongs to oneself. Even in places where there is no spiritual energy, the strength is almost not compromised.
Coupled with the transcendent combat ability inherent in physical training, it is indeed difficult to deal with.
Just listen to Elder Wu continue to say: "Before issuing this mission, the sect had sent several monks into that small world. Not only did they fail to capture the physical cultivator, but they were either killed or injured. The losses were considerable!"
"The sect has sent people to monitor the exit of that small world. Physical cultivators can't escape for the time being, but it's not an option to go on like this, so we summoned martial cultivators to hunt down this person."
Zhao Lin suddenly thought of someone and asked, "Where is Elder Miao?"
Elder Wu shook his head gently, "If you were in a place with a little aura, Elder Miao's strength should be a bit stronger than that physical practitioner, but in that small world, that may not be the case."
"One more thing, Elder Miao is the banner and benchmark figure of the sect. If something goes wrong, the gain will outweigh the loss!"
Zhao Lin nodded and said: "The sect doesn't have only one body cultivator, right? Can't other body cultivators work?"
Elder Wu said: "There are very few physical practitioners in our sect, and there is only one physical practitioner at the ninth level of body tempering. Two physical practitioners have been recruited for this mission, but they were not mentioned specifically."
After hearing this, Zhao Lin had already made up his mind: he would not accept this mission.
He couldn't even deal with the late stage of Qi refining, let alone the powerful Ninth Level of Body Tempering.
Even if I collect enough spiritual stones and use the spiritual cultivation chart to help me parse the two spells to perfection, my cultivation level will not improve and I will not be able to exert the true power of the spells.
Besides, Miao Kefa was not sure of defeating that body cultivator, so what if he had mastered the two perfection-level spells?
Although there must be companions, Zhao Lin knew that three first-class masters may not be able to defeat one top master.
Being stronger means that there is a lot of room for maneuver, and it must be restrained by someone who can compete with it.
At present, it appears that there is no such person in this operation.
Besides, the martial arts cultivators are not familiar with each other, how much of their strength can be exerted through so-called cooperation?
If he misses it, he may even lose his life.
Although he was not prepared to accept the task, this was a rare opportunity to understand the internal operations of the sect. Zhao Lin asked: "Excuse me, elder, how much good deeds are there for this task?"
Elder Wu stretched out his index finger and said two words: "Ten thousand!"
Zhao Lin took a deep breath, "A foundation-building pill!"
Upon hearing such a large amount, Zhao Lin even wiped out the little thought he had.
What he sees is not the good deeds, but the danger behind them.
To redeem the Foundation Building Pill from the sect, the amount of good deeds required is about 10,000, which fluctuates slightly every year, but basically it will not change much.
Brother Chuan Gong teaches his disciples spells every day and occasionally does some errands. He can only earn dozens of good deeds in a month.
And one task here rewards 10,000 good deeds, which is equivalent to the accumulation of others for ten or twenty years. This can only mean one thing: this task is extremely dangerous!
"I'm just making a routine announcement. It's up to you to decide whether you want to go."
Elder Wu lowered his eyelids and said lightly.
He actually didn't want Zhao Lin to participate in such a dangerous mission, but out of duty, he couldn't say it directly, so he mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally.
Zhao Lin heard the elegant meaning of Xiange and said with a smile: "Elder, this disciple has just entered the sect and his strength is low. I will think about it again when I go back."
Elder Wu breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Zhao Lin said this as a tactful rejection.
"Okay, think about it again. By the way, I think the rock armor technique you used today is impressive, and you should have already started."
"This shows that your spell talent is good. You must practice hard. Once you have mastered your spells, you will not be afraid no matter where you go!"
Zhao Lin responded respectfully: "Yes, that disciple resigned."
The two of them had a tacit understanding that Zhao Lin would definitely not accept this task.
