"Yes, I hope you will continue to work hard and live up to God's mercy."
When Elder Nie presented the award to Zhao Lin, he rarely used a tone of approval.
"Since you are good at magic, you should pay more attention to this aspect in the future. If you encounter any difficulties, just come to me."
Elder Wu also said with a smile.
The two of them were shocked by Zhao Lin's magical talent. They saw the big from the small. Even if Zhao Lin couldn't break through the foundation in the future, he might become a figure like Miao Kefa.
"The elders are so complimentary! The reason why this disciple has achieved such a small achievement is all due to the careful cultivation of the two elders, the wise teachings of the headmaster, and the generous advice of the brothers who teach the technique."
There was no pride on Zhao Lin's face and he said very seriously.
"Well said, a boy can be taught."
"Neither arrogant nor impetuous, he is a talent that can be developed."
When the two elders Wu and Nie heard this, they smiled unconsciously on their faces and felt comfortable in their hearts.
Dou Wu and Gong Huaipeng twitched their mouths, thinking that this guy's mouth is more powerful than his magic!
This is how the little fight ended.
Two days later at noon, Zhao Lin came to the Chuan Gong Hall.
"Elder Wu, I want to practice the Nine Transformation Condensation Technique."
After careful consideration, Zhao Lin decided to practice this technique that can expand his spiritual consciousness.
Most of the disciples of Lingdao Academy have only basic and proficient spell skills. The attack range of thirty feet is basically enough, but it is not enough to reach any further.
But for Zhao Lin, mastering mastery-level spells can only attack such a short distance and cannot display his true strength. When fighting with high-level speeds, he can only rely on his extraordinary speed to make up for the shortcomings.
If you encounter a faster opponent, you can only be beaten passively.
The jade slips contain Lu Yuanxiu's good deed exchange records. This Zifu monk has also practiced the Nine Transformation Condensation Technique, and has reached the seventh level.
Since it has to be repaired sooner or later, of course the sooner the better.
The Nine Transformation Condensation Technique is a skill, not a spell. It requires a long period of practice, and the spiritual cultivation chart cannot help.
"Have you thought it through?"
Elder Wu seemed to have expected it and was not surprised at all. He raised his eyelids and asked Zhao Lin.
"Think it through!"
Zhao Lin said with certainty.
Elder Wu nodded, "In that case, I won't stop you. Your talent for magic is very good. If your spiritual consciousness is limited, it will really have an impact."
"But I would like to remind you that the Nine-turn Concentration Skill requires a large amount of good deeds and spiritual stones. Even if you have more than a thousand good deeds, it will not be enough to complete one turn."
Zhao Lin said in a deep voice: "Thank you, elder, for informing me. I understand."
Without saying anything else, Elder Wu took out a message paper crane and wrote a few words on it. Then with a flick, the paper crane flapped its wings and flew out of the Shanggong Hall.
"You can go to the Shanggong Hall to redeem the skills, and then go to the confidential area to collect them."
"Thank you, elder..."
Zhao Lin left the Lingdao Temple and rushed to the Shanggong Hall at Yingchun Peak.
"Junior brother, are you here to redeem your skills? Elder Wu has already passed on the news."
Without waiting for Zhao Lin to explain his purpose, Hu Guanshi quickly took out the Xingyuan Pen, deducted 500 good deeds from his body-reflecting stone, and marked the exchange for the first turn of the Nine-turn Condensation Technique.
When walking out of the Shanggong Hall, Zhao Lin took a special look at the west wall and found that the Sheng family's missing person mission was still posted there.
My heart sank slightly, it seemed that the Sheng family hadn't given up yet.
The world of immortality is different from the mortal world. There is no so-called perfect crime.
Zhao Lin had heard of two secret techniques that could search for a person from thousands of miles away, even if the person was completely destroyed physically and mentally.
The first secret technique is called blood induction.
There is often telepathy between people, especially between close relatives, who can sense each other's emotions secretly.
When one party encounters a huge crisis or pressure, the other party will also resonate.
This is why children of parents who are seriously ill or dead can feel extremely painful, upset, and even have nightmares even if they are far away from home, and the same is true the other way around.
Blood induction and close relatives summon the soul of the deceased to form a group of memories and return to the loved one to view what they experienced during their lifetime.
The second secret art is divination.
Everything in the world is under the law of heaven.
Divination uses changes in heaven to deduce the past and predict the future. It is not a mysterious superstition. It is an unpopular art among the various arts of cultivation.
Both of these methods can find the root cause of the matter out of thin air without any clues.
But correspondingly, there is a huge price to pay, and you may only get a vague result.
The process of killing Sheng Jinlong seemed seamless, but as long as the Sheng family was willing to pay the cost, it was still possible to find him.
"In the final analysis, strength is the last word."
Zhao Lin thought for a while and stepped out of the Shanggong Hall.
Come to the confidential place and explain your purpose to Manager Wang.
"Do you want to practice the Nine Transformations Condensation Technique?"
Manager Wang asked in surprise, "Little friend, I remember you just came to the sect for more than a year, and you managed to achieve five hundred good deeds so quickly?"
"I did a sect mission a few days ago. I was lucky and earned some good deeds."
Zhao Lin explained with a smile and handed the body-illuminating stone to the other party.
"No matter how lucky you are, you still have to have the ability."
Manager Wang checked it and found that the exchange had indeed been completed. He looked calm and said: "This technique is controlled by the sect. You must make an oath before practicing it. Do you know this?"
"Understood, the elder has already told me."
"Okay, then take a look at this first."
Manager Wang took out a gold sheet from under the table.
Zhao Lin took it and looked at it. He saw the oath and the method of making the oath written on it. He read it through and asked, "Do you want to take the oath now?"
Steward Wang stretched out a finger and pointed upward, "It's best to make an oath in the sun. Let's go outside."
The two walked to the yard together.
Zhao Lin raised his head and glanced at the gloomy sky, with a solemn expression, and said loudly: "Zhao Lin, a disciple of the Chenghua Sect, hereby swears an oath to Heaven and the sect to practice the Nine Turns Condensation Technique from now on, and not to reveal any words to others. "
"If you violate this oath, you will suffer thousands of thunder tribulations and your body will be destroyed."
After reciting the oath, Zhao Lin took a deep breath and thought to himself that this thing is really vicious. I wonder which senior came up with this clever trick.
At this time, Manager Wang handed over a dagger made of fine gold.
Zhao Lin grabbed the dagger and swiped it hard against the palm of his hand. His movements were stimulated and blood immediately spattered.
As if feeling the power of the oath, lightning flashed in the sky, and a complex and mysterious rune faintly emerged.
The runes dissipated quickly, followed by wisps of white threads as thin as rain, falling on Zhao Lin's body and disappearing in an instant.
Zhao Lin was taken aback, and he quickly used his spiritual energy to check his body, and found nothing wrong, so he felt relieved.
Upon seeing this, Manager Wang smiled and said, "My friend, please relax. As long as you don't break your oath, it will not have any impact on your path."
Zhao Lin breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly thought of a question: "Mr. Wang, since I have made an oath, I will definitely not break it, but there is a question."
"Oh, what's the question?"
"I made an oath to this side of Heaven. If, I mean if, I enter a certain small world, and then reveal the skills to others, and then stay in the small world and never come out, how will Heaven punish me?"
Manager Wang laughed loudly after hearing this, and the wrinkles on his face squeezed together, "My little friend is smart, but since it is a Taoist oath recognized by the sect, how can there be such a big loophole?"
"I might as well tell you that when you make an oath, you will have the mark of heaven in your body. Even if you enter the small world, if you violate the oath, the heaven in the small world will be able to detect it, and you will also be punished by heaven."
"For example, a person kills people and sells goods, commits all kinds of evil, and is forced to flee to another place. How will the locals treat him after learning what he has done?"
"And one more thing, the mark of heaven is in my body. Even if I have the ability to escape the punishment of heaven, if the mark of heaven disintegrates, my body will die."
After a pause, he asked: "You can deceive Heaven, but can you deceive yourself?"
Zhao Lin suddenly realized, "I see, I understand."
Returning to the room again, Manager Wang asked Zhao Lin to wait in the room for a while and left in a hurry.
After a while, Manager Wang turned around, holding an exquisite jade slip in his hand.
"The first stage of the Nine Transformations Condensation Skill, you can only browse it, you cannot copy it to your own jade slips."
"Also, never write on paper. If someone accidentally sees it, even if it is unintentional, it will be considered a violation of the oath. Remember it!"
Zhao Lin nodded in agreement, thinking that the way of heaven is the human heart, and it is indeed not easy to fool.
Immediately calm down and watch the exercises in the jade slips.
The monks have sharp ears and eyes, and they all have the ability to remember pictures. Zhao Lin read it carefully three times and memorized the contents of the exercise in his heart.
…
Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period of time, Zhao Lin only did two things: attack the spiritual aperture and improve his realm; and practice the nine-turn divine condensation technique.
As of today, he has opened thirty-five spiritual orifices, and is only one spiritual orifice away from reaching the third level of Qi refining to reach perfection.
In the second year of practicing Taoism, disciples can practice in the spiritual cave for one day every month.
Zhao Lin used his good deeds to stay in the spiritual cave for at least ten days every month, sometimes even half a month.
The reason why he did this was, on the one hand, that practicing in the spiritual cave could indeed speed up the practice.
Another reason is to cover it up and let others think that the reason for his rapid cultivation is due to staying in the spiritual cave for a long time.
Otherwise, how can a martial artist with middle-grade spiritual roots surpass a group of high-grade spiritual root disciples?
As for the magic, Zhao Lin didn't put much energy into it at all. Apart from showing off during morning classes, he saved all his time to practice the Nine Turns Condensation Technique.
"The four doors are closed tightly, the eyes do not see, the nose does not smell, the mouth does not speak, the ears do not hear, all the conditions are immovable, and one mind stays in the center. Over time, all thoughts will return to one thought, and one thought will return to no thought..."
"Oh, I still can't calm down!"
There was a drizzle outside the window, and the world was quiet.
Zhao Lin felt confused and restless.
After closing his eyes for a while, he finally shook his head, picked up a green talisman at hand, and waved it.
A ball of spiritual light rose up, and bursts of coolness surrounded the surroundings.
Zhao Lin looked relaxed and his mind gradually calmed down.
The Nine-turn Concentration Power consumes spiritual consciousness, and it is easy to have distracting thoughts, joy, anger, sorrow, and various emotions during practice. You need to use the Qingxin Talisman to relieve stress.
The Qingxin Talisman is derived from the "Qingning Technique" of Taoism. It can calm the mind and calm the energy, eliminate inner demons, and is of great benefit to practice.
Unfortunately, this spell is quite difficult to practice and takes a lot of time.
Fortunately, a talisman master simplified it and carved it into a talisman, so it was very popular among monks.
Of course, you can't expect a good effect with five spirit coins per talisman, and it only lasts for a quarter of an hour.
Zhao Lin used at least three Pure Heart Talisman every time he practiced. After half a year, he spent more than 200 spiritual stones just buying the Pure Heart Talisman.
call……
Two hours later, when it was time to finish his work, Zhao Lin felt that his spiritual consciousness had grown stronger again.
His spiritual consciousness swept out the window, and he could reach a place about thirty-six feet away.
He practices at a fixed location every day and can sense the changes in his spiritual consciousness very clearly.
One advantage of the nine-turn spiritual condensation skill is that it does not have to be completed in one turn before the spiritual consciousness suddenly expands by thirty feet. Instead, it grows little by little as the spiritual consciousness grows stronger.
"Yes, small steps can lead to a thousand miles."
Zhao Lin nodded with satisfaction, a smile appearing on his lips.
At this rate, the first turn can be completed within three years.
By that time, I will probably be at the fifth level of Qi Refining. Adding the two together, my spiritual consciousness can reach eighty feet. I no longer have to be afraid when encountering monks in the later stages of Qi Refining.
But the premise is that the supply of god-refining elixirs must be guaranteed.
Thinking of this, Zhao Lin took out the body-illuminating stone and checked the remaining good deeds. The smile on his face gradually disappeared.
At the beginning, he thought that even if he practiced in the spiritual cave every day, three good deeds a day would be enough for a year or two.
As a result, only half a year later, the number of good deeds was only a little over 400.
There are three main types of elixirs used to practice the nine-turn spiritual concentrating function: the spirit-tonifying elixir, the soul-nourishing pill, and the spirit-accumulating elixir.
The prescriptions for refining divine elixirs contain many rare spiritual herbs, and the brain saliva of monsters is used as the medicine. It is extremely difficult to refine and therefore expensive.
Take the God-Building Pill once every three days. Each pill is worth three spiritual stones and three good deeds.
Take the soul-nourishing pills once every ten days. Each pill is worth five spiritual stones and five good deeds.
The Yunling Pill can only be taken at the beginning of each round and is worth one hundred spiritual stones and one hundred good deeds.
In fact, it is possible to practice the Nine Transformation Condensation Technique without taking pills, but it can only shorten the practice time, or simply stop the practice and continue after the soul recovers.
Zhao Lin pursued speed and always took enough pills, so his good deeds were naturally consumed faster.
"Sure enough, one cannot cultivate the Tao without wealth!"
Zhao Lin sighed, the remaining good deeds could barely last until the end of the year. If he wanted to continue practicing the Nine Turns Condensation Skill next year, he would have to find a way to earn good deeds.
…
"It's really incredible. Congratulations to Senior Brother Yan for your great achievement."
"Yes, if Senior Brother Yan can polish his attack spells, he can participate in the sect competition."
"A treat, let's treat our fellow apprentices to Tibetan Sword Cold Fish..."
This morning, when Zhao Lin passed by the Yanfa Pavilion, he saw fellow practitioners gathered around and chatting animatedly.
"No, no, you guys are so good at saying nice things!"
Yan Yuan stood in the crowd with a smile on his face and narrowed his eyes, as if something great had happened to him.
"What happy event?"
Zhao Lin's heart moved, and he stood in the distance and listened for a while. It turned out that Yan Yuan had mastered the Rock Armor Technique to a master level, and everyone was congratulating him.
"It's indeed a happy event!"
Zhao Lin was overjoyed and felt happy for Senior Brother Yan from the bottom of his heart.
My own rock armor technique can also be upgraded...
