Zhao Lin said gratefully: "Senior's words made the juniors clear the clouds and see the sun, and they suddenly became enlightened."
Lu Yuanxiu didn't take it seriously, "Actually, you can figure this out sooner or later. I'm just reminding you."
After speaking, he patted the hem of his waist and suddenly a jade slip appeared in his hand.
Zhao Lin took a glance and saw a round octagonal animal skin bag under Lu Yuanxiu's clothes. There were strange patterns tattooed on the outside, emitting a subtle fluctuation of spiritual power, and he couldn't help but frown.
It’s not a lock bag, it’s a Qiankun bag!
Although he had never seen such an object before, the animal skin bag owned by Lu Yuanxiu was exactly the same as the rumored Universe Bag.
A year after joining the sect, this was the first time he saw the Qiankun Bag with his own eyes. This kind of space magic weapon was rare and expensive, and not even Zhou Zhangyuan and the two elders had it.
Lu Yuanxiu put his jade slips together with Zhao Lin's jade slips, cast a copying spell, and then returned the jade slips to him.
"Take it and have a look, it should be of some use."
Zhao Lin didn't know why, so he took the jade slip and scanned it with his consciousness, and couldn't help being surprised.
There is a lot more content in the jade slips that he carries with him, which densely records Lu Yuanxiu's cultivation process in the Qi Refining Realm, including every task performed, the rewards issued by the sect, and the redemption records of good deeds.
"This... is too expensive!"
Zhao Lin stood up, straightened his robe, and bowed solemnly to Lu Yuanxiu.
The practice records in the body stone are the absolute privacy of the monks and cannot be easily known to anyone, let alone copying the entire record directly like this.
Lu Yuanxiu is a cultivator in the Purple Mansion Realm, and he is also a martial arts cultivator. Zhao Lin uses his cultivation experience as a reference to avoid many detours. It can be said to be a priceless treasure, more valuable than spiritual stone pills.
This also shows that Lu Yuanxiu has regarded him as one of his own.
Lu Yuanxiu reached down, asked Zhao Lin to sit down, and said warmly: "Everyone has his own way of practice, and mine may not be suitable for you."
"But one thing you need to understand is that our strongest martial arts is combat power, not Taoism. Diligence and hard work are of no use to us!"
"If you want to break through as soon as possible, you must use your own advantages, otherwise time waits for no one. I hope you can build a foundation within ten years."
Zhao Lin felt hot and said in a deep voice: "The juniors must work hard and not let the seniors down."
Lu Yuanxiu nodded with a smile, "It's almost time. I have something to do and go back to the state capital. I hope you will keep your word and impress me when we meet again."
After saying that, Zhao Lin went straight out of the quiet room without waiting for a reply.
…
That night, Zhao Lin returned to his residence and carefully read Lu Yuanxiu's practice records. The more he read, the more frightened he became.
Lu Yuanxiu was amazingly talented and accomplished martial arts at the age of thirty-five. When he entered the sect, he was already thirty-six years old, five years older than Zhao Lin.
At such an "advanced age", he succeeded in building the foundation less than ten years after joining the sect, which was astonishingly fast.
Lu Yuanxiu practiced in Lingdao Temple for one year, and from the second year onwards he frequently performed sect tasks.
After completing the mission, the good deeds obtained can be exchanged for elixirs and the qualification to practice in the spiritual cave.
Repeatedly, practicing through war, he finally cultivated all the way to the Purple Mansion realm.
Zhao Lin took a quick look and realized that what Lu Yuanxiu received was to enter a dangerous small world, or to pursue high-risk tasks such as hunting and escorting.
No wonder some people say that Lu Yuanxiu has great luck. Many tasks are extremely dangerous and he has a narrow escape.
"I see, Senior Lu showed me a clear path."
Zhao Lin originally planned to do some tasks to earn spiritual stones, but his thoughts were not clear enough and he was not so urgent. After reading Lu Yuanxiu's file, he suddenly realized that the golden mean was just self-destruction.
There is more than one martial arts cultivator in the sect, and Lu Yuanxiu is the leader, which shows that this path is correct.
However, Zhao Lin still decided to practice the formation, but he would not put too much effort into it.
Before Taoism is completed, it cannot provide much help to practice. It is just a business of obtaining spiritual stones and good deeds. Fighting is the fastest way to make money.
As Lu Yuanxiu said, if you reach the foundation-building realm or the purple mansion realm, you will have a lot of time to practice Taoism. If you cannot cultivate the foundation-building realm, it will be meaningless to master the formation.
Early the next morning, Zhao Lin went straight to the Hall of Merit.
He decided to give it a try with a mission first. If this path was feasible, he would practice accordingly in the future.
Starting from the second year, Chenghua Sect disciples will receive a monthly salary of three spiritual stones, and a bottle of Yangyuan Pill and Bigu Pill every quarter.
If you want to gain a foothold in the sect with this salary, it's difficult in one word!
Zhao Lin has one hundred and sixty good deeds on hand. He used to treat them as treasures and was reluctant to use them. Now that he thinks about it, these good deeds are really nothing.
During the Qi refining period, there are many kinds of elixirs that can assist in cultivation. The most common ones are Yangyuan Dan, Yin Yang Dan, Huang Gu Dan, etc.
Yangyuan Dan can nourish vitality and improve cultivation.
However, the Yangyuan Pill is only the most basic elixir, which needs to be taken regularly, and the effect is average. The one level higher than the Yangyuan Pill is the Zengyuan Pill, and the next level is the Ningyuan Pill.
The effect of the Ning Yuan Pill is outstanding, but it cannot be bought with spiritual stones alone, and it is not sold on the market. It can only be exchanged for good deeds. One pill requires thirty good deeds, plus thirty spiritual stones.
The same goes for Yin Yang Pills. There are higher level pills above, all of which require good deeds to be redeemed.
This is not because the sect is stingy. Good things are always rare and cannot be available to everyone.
Another example is that the disciples practice on the top of the mountain every morning, just to practice at the time when the spiritual energy is most abundant.
But in fact, there is a better place to practice in the county: the spiritual cave.
The spiritual cave directly leads the spiritual veins into the cave, and then uses the spirit gathering array to condense the spiritual energy. The spiritual energy is extremely rich. The effect of monks practicing in it is far better than that of the outside world.
There are seven spiritual caves in Hanchi County, which require three to ten good deeds per day depending on the level. Most monks cannot afford to use them, and they only use them for a period of time when their practice reaches the most critical stage.
"Senior Lu is right, good deeds are only good if they are used. If you had practiced in the spiritual cave while taking Chalcedony Pill a few days ago, you might be able to break through one or two more spiritual apertures."
With this thought in his mind, Zhao Lin came to the Shanggong Hall.
Shanggong Hall is not at Daofeng Peak, but at Yingchun Peak, the easternmost one among the seven peaks in Hanchi County.
Monks can exchange good deeds for various items in the Good Merit Hall, and new tasks will be posted here every month.
When I walked into the Shanggong Hall, I saw tasks posted on the walls on both sides of the hall.
Most of these tasks come from sects and states, there are also tasks issued by individuals, and there are even a few from outside sects, which are notified to various counties every half a month through messenger talismans.
There are many types of tasks, such as picking spiritual grass, hatching beast eggs, clearing monster beasts and insects, finding spiritual veins, killing sect enemies, etc.
Some tasks require the performer to have certain skills, some require a lot of time and energy, and some tasks are very dangerous.
There are various tasks, and the rewards obtained are also very different depending on the difficulty and danger.
