Yuan Lu ran over and said, "I am now a disciple of Xuan Bing Valley. I heard about you near Canglong Sect and knew that you had a quota, so I came here to find you!"
Xuanbing Valley? Qi Mingchen was a little surprised. Xuanbinggu and Jiange were second-class sects with comparable strength, and most of them had female disciples.
Unexpectedly, after practicing in Ming Gui's secret realm, he had become a second-class disciple in less than a month.
"Congratulations, do you have anything to do with me?" Qi Mingchen said calmly, and then thought of something and added: "Since you are already a disciple of Xuanbing Valley, there is no reason to call me sir. From now on, you should call me fellow Taoist. "
Facing his somewhat cold attitude, Yuan Lu showed a sad expression, "Your Excellency, you have saved my life. You also wished me recovery and gave me such an opportunity. I can't repay such kindness even if I follow you as a maid." clear!"
"No need, I have something else to do. If there's nothing urgent, I'll leave first." Qi Mingchen nodded politely, raised his feet and prepared to leave.
"Wait!" Yuan Lu dodged and came in front of him. This speed was basically at the late stage of pill formation, and might even be at the peak of pill formation. This talent and cultivation were not enough for Xuanbing Valley to take a fancy to. Strange.
He didn't want to communicate any more. He was just out of sympathy when he helped the other party. But judging from the other party's appearance and power, if he was not careful, he might cause trouble for him, and he might secretly kill someone like Liu Minghua did. Case.
To avoid trouble, he ignored it, ducked and continued walking.
"Sir, I already have a master. As long as you reach the acquired stage, you can directly become an inner disciple. I also know what happened to you when I came here this time, so I would like to ask you to return to Xuanbing Valley with me. I will ask the master for help. Your best resource!”
"Please?" Qi Mingchen said lightly, "Don't easily promise things you can't guarantee, and... I'm not interested in resources that don't belong to me. No matter how good it is, it has nothing to do with me. Please do what you want, fellow Taoist."
After saying that, he ignored the stunned Yuan Lu and went directly to the direction of the training tower.
On the way, he thought about Yuan Lu's situation, and always felt that she must not only be here to find him, but also have other things to do. Otherwise, a person who does not have a quota in another sect, even if he is a second-class sect, cannot come and go at will. People from other sects even wander around alone looking for people.
But these have nothing to do with him for the time being.
There are more important things for him right now.
[Asking the Heart Technique, she is practicing pretty well. 】
Ming Gui suddenly said.
"Asking the Heart Technique?" This was the first time Qi Mingchen heard this name.
[The Questioning Heart Technique is the technique I gave to Lu Xiyu and Yuan Lu. 】
"That Xuan-level skill?" He thought of the method Ming Gui had said before. He could just practice a new skill when he had no spiritual power. He didn't expect that the name of the skill was also called "Wen Xin".
[On the surface, it is Xuan level, but in fact, if the matching degree is extremely high, it can achieve higher effects, but before the golden elixir stage, there is no need to consider such issues for the time being. 】
"What does higher effect mean?" Qi Mingchen suddenly felt that the information contained in this sentence might not be that simple.
[Of course the quality can be improved... Do you think that the Asking Heart Secret Realm is just an ordinary small secret realm? The strength hidden in it is stronger than those of the big secret realms! 】
"That's it." Qi Mingchen replied indifferently, but the feeling in his heart was not small.
Techniques that can improve quality are not that simple. They are legendary in Wanxuan Continent. I didn't expect to find them in a small secret realm.
If the headquarters of the Star Chamber of Commerce knew this secret, they would definitely send out the most talented people to explore it, instead of just using it as a competition venue for third-class branches.
At the same time, he remembered that Lu Xiyu, the only one who had received the inheritance, was already a defeated substitute. Even if he knew the secrets of the technique, he would probably not expose it.
However, all clones now have no memory of being clones, so how will they remember their identities in the future?
Thinking of this, he became more cautious towards the underworld ghost. From what it said just now, Yuan Lu did not become a clone, but he was more suitable for practicing the mind-asking technique than Lu Xiyu.
【How are you? Are you excited? The Questioning Heart Technique is more powerful than any other technique in the entire continent. Don’t you want to practice it and give it a try? Your current cultivation level is not high. Even if you break up and start cultivating again, it won’t be difficult and you can still cultivate faster! 】
The ghost's tempting words echoed in his mind.
Qi Mingchen didn't answer. Although he didn't know what kind of skill Minghun Divine Vein was, it was obvious that the specialness this skill brought to him was unmatched by other skills, and there would be no other skills. It suits him better.
"You are very noisy." He replied coldly and then came to the training tower.
Passing by the first floor, there were people stationed at the stairs leading up to the second floor, and there were obviously far fewer people going up.
He showed the number on his palm. The guard disciple looked at the obviously unfamiliar face and was surprised, but said nothing and stepped aside to give way.
When he came to the third floor for the first time, Qi Mingchen observed that in terms of size, this floor was much smaller than the two floors below, but the intensity of spiritual power was completely different from that below.
As soon as he arrived here, the spiritual power in his body began to circulate rapidly, and he felt like he was about to break through.
There are twenty rooms on this floor, evenly surrounding it, forming a square arrangement, and each room can touch the richest part in the middle.
Qi Mingchen came to the room according to his number and opened it. The layout inside was not only neat and clean, but also had a sandalwood bed and table. There were also good candles burning. He could smell a special fragrance. As soon as he smelled it, The spiritual energy in the body moves faster, and it seems to be a special material that helps in cultivation.
There are also bookshelves in the room, which contain some basic books on cultivation. In addition to this room, there is also a small room next to it, which contains some food that can be stored for a long time. It is enough for a week. At the same time, the ingredients are also quite rare and rare. of.
He picked up a piece with his chopsticks and asked Ming Gui, "Do you know these ingredients?"
[Of course, from the perspective of the human world, it is considered a medium spiritual plant. It can not only satisfy your hunger, but also increase your weak cultivation. 】
Hearing this, he curiously put the food into his mouth. The rich spiritual power made him immediately put down his chopsticks, sit down and start practicing.
The spiritual power in his body rotated faster and faster, almost compressing to an extreme. Just when he thought he was about to break through, his spiritual power seemed to be stuck and no longer increased.
what happened?
He was confused. This had never happened before.
[You have reached a bottleneck. Generally, this concentration of spiritual power is more than enough for you to break through to the late stage of pill formation. However, the spiritual power in your body seems to be different from ordinary people. A richer spiritual power environment is needed to enable you to break through quickly. , otherwise you can only slowly accumulate spiritual power and slowly impact. 】
Now he figured out the reason. Unexpectedly, the spiritual power of this level was not enough for him to attack the seventh level of pill formation!
Thinking about it, his previous cultivation speed was already fast enough. In the process of improving the quality of the elixir, he also consolidated his strength. However, there is still a huge leap between the middle and late stages of elixir formation. If he wants to break through, he must It is difficult.
Thinking about it this way, I can't think about breakthroughs for the time being. It would be better to continue studying elixirs in the remaining time.
He stood up and looked at the food on the table. He tasted some of each. Except for a few that didn't taste very good, the rest were pretty good.
There was a kind of spiritual plant that looked like a fruit, but tasted even more crisp, refreshing, and juicy. He finished it in a few mouthfuls, but it was a pity that there wasn't any left, otherwise he would have wanted to eat a few more.
After eating a lot of food, he felt that his body was very hot and his spiritual energy was more powerful. He put away the remains of the food and went back to the bed and took out a pill.
Summarizing the elixirs he has now, he currently has more than 200 red-grade primary saturated elixirs, more than 50 red-grade intermediate saturated elixirs, more than 20 ordinary elixirs, and three red-grade elixirs. The high-grade ordinary elixir, and the repaired orange-grade primary saturated elixir.
He felt the middle-grade red elixir in his hand, and then slowly input his spiritual power into it.
The difference from before was that a faint golden light did not immediately appear on it. This light was a manifestation of the effect of spiritual power on the elixir.
It seemed that his spiritual power was not enough, so he then used his skills and increased the amount of spiritual power input. Finally, the elixir flickered with a very faint light, appearing and disappearing from time to time. It seemed unstable.
He did not give up and continued to input spiritual power until the spiritual power in his body was almost used up. He absorbed the spiritual power in the air while continuing to input it.
[If you practice the Questioning Heart Technique, your cultivation will increase at a rate that will definitely give you endless spiritual power. 】
The underworld ghost started to induce him again. Ever since Yuan Lu appeared, it seemed to particularly want him to practice the Heart-Questioning Technique and promoted it like crazy.
[Why are you unmoved? Anyone would practice this technique without hesitation. Even the one named Lu Xiyu, who is already in the acquired stage, does not know the secret hidden in this technique. It is only the Xuan-level technique that he would practice without hesitation. Spend all your cultivation and practice this technique. 】
Qi Mingchen responded: "First of all, I want to ask you, does the spiritual power cultivated by the Wenxin Kung Fu have the ability to improve the quality of elixirs?"
[...This is definitely not possible. None of the currently known techniques have this ability. 】
"Then why do you think I will still retain such abilities after practicing your technique?"
The ghost was silent.
He continued: "Besides, Lu Xiyu is not so much impressed by the skills as she is more concerned about the reward for first place. Although I don't know her real reason, you who obviously know her memory understand that she dares to leave." It’s all due to cultivation.”
The ghost was speechless again.
Then he disappeared without saying a word.
Seeing that his ears were finally clear, Qi Mingchen picked up the elixir again and input spiritual power.
