Jiangxiao Tower.
The place where the Zheng family collects various secret books is the most important place within the Zheng family.
Under the guidance of his servant, Yu Youquan quickly arrived not far from the outside of Jiangxiao Tower.
You can see a five-story high-rise building from a distance, which is very magnificent. The vitality of heaven and earth is flowing quietly under the ground, and purple mist is constantly falling from the sky, making this attic full of mystery.
There were also soldiers wearing special armor guarding the surroundings, and it looked extremely guarded.
but.
Yu Youquan can still feel that these soldiers should only be a guard force on the surface.
Seeing Yu Youquan approaching from afar, a group of fierce guards on patrol were staring at Yu Youquan with their eyes.
"Jiangxiao Tower, please show your identity seal."
Yu Youquan immediately took out a seal from his waist. After the leader of the guards inspected it, he immediately stood up straight and looked more kind-hearted than the previous fierce look.
"The tokens have been confirmed. Sir, please."
Yu Youquan took back the seal, and then walked into Jiangxiao Tower under the respectful eyes of the guards.
...
"really big!"
As soon as he entered Jiangxiao Tower, Yu Youquan felt as if he had entered the sea of books.
I saw that the rows were densely packed with books, and they were also books recorded on various different carriers.
Some are tortoise shells, some are jade, and some are silk. Of course, the most common ones are bamboo slips and paper scrolls.
Yu Youquan took a quick look and found that the collection of books on the first floor alone probably contained tens of thousands of volumes.
This is truly worthy of being a member of a long-standing family. The collection of books here alone is of astonishing value.
Judging from the diversity and changes of the carriers, the books here have also been collected and accumulated from generation to generation.
Yu Youquan flipped through it briefly, and found that the first floor contained various martial arts methods, meditation methods, visualization theories, and concepts of absorbing and nourishing qi.
It can be regarded as a good skill, but compared with the "Cloud-turning Rain Sword", which contains the inheritance of artistic conception, it is far behind.
"The Fifteen Styles of Vertical Sword, martial arts swordsmanship, does not contain the inheritance of artistic conception. It was created by the Free Swordsman three hundred years ago. The descendants of the Zheng family can exchange it for seven days by cleaning any small courtyard in the inner courtyard."
That's it?
Just sweeping the floor for a week can replace this kind of exercise?
This swordsmanship can be regarded as a very exquisite swordsmanship in the world, and it only takes a week to sweep the floor to exchange it.
This is almost the same as giving for free. The first week of sweeping is probably just to let the descendants of the Zheng family know how hard the work is.
"The "Split Gold Finger" combines the vitality of heaven and earth into one finger, and can break through gold and crack stones. The descendants of the Zheng family can choose any flowerbed to carry water and water the flowers in exchange for ten days."
Yu Youquan looked around again. The books on the first floor were all of this level, and they were more of a welfare nature.
Yu Youquan went directly to the second floor without any further delay.
Looking at the bookshelf, there are obviously a lot less secrets on this floor compared to the first floor.
Yu Youquan picked up a book and looked at it, and was surprised to see "Zheng Jingxiang's Essay on the Method of Convincing Qi through Visualization" written on the title page.
This is a book that discusses the concept of one-level cultivation. It begins with a brief introduction to the various visualization methods and breath-swallowing methods currently practiced by various sects. It even records some visualization diagrams drawn by Zheng Jingxiang himself.
These visualization pictures have basically touched the Tao Yun, and year-round visualization does have the effect of strengthening the soul.
but.
Compared with the real body of Senior Long that Yu Youquan had seen and the "Golden Toad Watching the Moon and Swallowing Qi" method of Jiuxuanmen, it was indeed far behind.
"Visualization diagrams and Qi absorption techniques can be obtained by helping the guards patrol the clan territory."
Later, Yu Youquan saw some good exercises one after another, such as "White Rainbow Palm", which can be obtained by clearing weeds in thirty acres of spiritual fields.
As for other cheats, the methods of obtaining them are similar.
for example:
Teaching martial arts to guards for half a month, going to a certain village to check if there are children with spiritual qualifications, assisting in the arrest of a certain prisoner...
It can also be seen from this that Zheng combined the exchange of secret books with the cultivation of the character of his descendants.
In this way, these young masters and ladies who have no fingers in the spring water will know what work is and how tiring it is, so that they will not make jokes about why they don't eat minced meat.
Yu Youquan felt like he had learned something. The Zheng family was worthy of being a long-established family and was very unique in education.
I just don’t know how well this system is implemented?
No matter how good the sutra is, it is all in vain if it is recited incorrectly!
Of course, this second floor was obviously not a place to store the skills he needed, so Yu Youquan immediately climbed up the stairs to the third floor.
Compared with the second floor, the number of books on this third floor has dropped sharply, and the storage method is much more formal. Many books are simply placed directly in special boxes.
"The secret book of inheritance of artistic conception can be exchanged for 30 treasure basket coins. The secret book of inheritance of artistic conception can be exchanged for 100 treasure basket coins."
When you reach the second level, the difficulty of obtaining it immediately goes up a notch, and you can no longer redeem it by doing chores.
You need to pay real money, but...it's so cheap!
Yu Youquan thought subconsciously. After all, the last time he entered the Abyss, he directly obtained 25,450 treasure coins.
What Yu Youquan didn't know was that if others heard what he said, he would probably be beaten immediately.
Only by breaking through the first level of Yuansou Zhixu can you get 10 treasure coins, but how many people are really qualified to break through Yuansou Zhixu?
If the soul is not strong enough, even if it is one or two levels into the void of Yuansou, the soul may be injured due to the special environment inside, and may be infected with such serious diseases as fear of fire, water, and light. The gain outweighs the loss.
It's like a genius like Zheng Shibai, who can break into the 10th floor of Yuansou Zhixu, but only needs 1,450 treasure coins.
As for other opportunities to earn treasure money, there are not many, and they are basically linked to academic studies, cultivation progress, tasks, and merit.
Especially the academic and cultivation progress, this is basically equivalent to a scholarship, the channels for obtaining it are very limited, and the number of places is still small.
For example, many children of the Zheng family, in order to collect enough money to exchange for secret treasures, they either have to accumulate the accumulation of their parents, or they can only spend real money to buy them everywhere, but even so, they may not be able to buy much, and the premium is very high. .
Yu Youquan looked through it and picked it up, but he was also a little dazzled.
"Master suggested that I learn "Douxu Bu" and "Nine Volumes of Qi Control" and find them first."
...
Half an hour later.
Yu Youquan put down the "Nine Volumes of Qi Control" in his hand, still shocked in his mind.
"Nine Volumes of Qi Control" is so mysterious, it is completely Zheng's masterpiece on the concept and application of the second realm.
There are only two core points, Qi refining and Qi control.
The research on what physical characteristics are suitable for practicing which type of Bao Qi, and what effects it has on the basis of Bao Qi, is very thorough.
It is said to be "nine volumes", but in essence it is divided according to "Yin Yang and Five Elements".
for example.
The core of the Scroll of Water is about the characteristics and applications of various water-attribute treasures.
To put it simply, it is birth, death, and sleepiness.
Among them, "生" is the most common. Water has the special effect of moisturizing all things. It can be very effective in healing wounds, promoting the growth of plants, and stimulating vitality.
"Destruction" is also very common, for example, summoning a large amount of water instantly to form a waterfall to impact, sweep, submerge, and trap.
Water is quite tolerant and can also contain toxins that can cause poisoning and corrosion.
"Trapped" is like water prison or freezing, which are basically very common.
"Nine Volumes of Qi Control" even specifically mentions the Black Water Black Snake Qi and Black Water Black Turtle Qi of the Jietian Sword Warriors. Compared with other water-attributed treasures, these two qi have excellent freezing effects.
Among them, the "Qi Refining" method specifically records a large number of ways to refine the precious Qi into the form and format you need according to your own wishes.
This achieves an instant effect and doubles the combat effectiveness in actual combat.
Yu Youquan subconsciously thought of the phantom body of Vajra Yaksha Ming King in Lotus Temple, which was extremely sophisticated at the level of "qi refining".
The Zheng family is famous for its swordsmanship, so the method in "Nine Volumes of Controlling Qi" is mostly to smelt precious Qi into swords.
Subsequently, you can control Qi like a sword. As far as the treasure Qi can drive you, the sword transformed by the treasure Qi can fly as far as you can.
The first seven volumes of "Nine Volumes of Qi Control" almost systematically record the absorption and smelting methods of the seven precious qi of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, yin and yang, and the eighth volume involves the coordinated use of various precious qi.
This volume is called the "Liang Yi Volume", and its core is about the coordinated use of two treasures.
for example.
Earth attribute treasure energy combined with water attribute treasure energy will cause large-scale swamps and mudslides on the physical level.
And when it falls on energy levels such as vitality and energy, there will also be various incredible effects.
The thick earth energy contains the endless energy of water, which can instantly create a stamping and landfill effect similar to a mudslide.
At the same time, the soil will become more fertile, and the effect of promoting plant growth will be greatly improved, which can greatly promote the growth of plants.
Same reason.
Water energy, which has no formula or fixed form, will have a thicker effect when mixed with earth energy. A drop of water can even become harder than a rock.
This made Yu Youquan couldn't help but think of the hailstones in the Yuansou Zhixu Trial...it turned out to be the effect formed by the fusion of treasures with different attributes!
Yu Youquan suddenly realized.
Especially when the two complementary attributes are used together, the effect can be far greater than that of the two attributes used alone.
And if there is a conflicting effect, it can cause an explosion at the energy level, which is extremely lethal.
As for the ninth volume, it talks about the combined use of three or more treasures, namely the three talents, the four images, the five elements, the Liuhe and the seven stars.
The more types of treasures involved, the higher the difficulty and the more mysterious, and later it simply became a sword formation.
The Three Talents Formation, the Four Symbols Formation, the Five Elements Formation, the Six Integration Formation, and the Seven Stars Formation.
Each formation also has various combinations.
Of course, the power is even more terrifying!
However, in the "Nine Volumes of Controlling Qi", the Three Talents chapter is still detailed, the Four Symbols chapter is already very simple, and by the Five Elements chapter, only ideas are left.
As for how to smelt the treasure energy into an inherent "fixed form", in addition to tireless practice, it also involves the design of seals, formulas, and the meridians and acupoints through which Yuan Li passes, which is very profound.
Yu Youquan feels like he has found a treasure!
Then there was another expected link, and the information about the Dao Mark Bearer needed for Longzhu Cave Heaven to activate the Tao Enlightenment mode appeared in his eyes again.
What he didn't expect was that it was surprisingly easy to activate the enlightenment mode this time.
Because he has already refined the Six Paths of Treasure Qi and has various formation diagrams in the "Nine Volumes of Qi Control", he can open them directly without paying for other Dao Mark Bearers.
In other words, as long as he is willing, he can learn the previous contents of Liuhe Formation in "Nine Volumes of Qi Control" at any time.
Cool!
