The next day.
Li Shuidao saw that the golden-faced man actually returned to the cave, so he took the initiative to find his master.
He stood respectfully in front of the golden-faced man, clasped his fists and saluted, and said: "Master, I have a request. Please allow me to build a thatched cottage in the bamboo forest outside the cave."
The golden-faced man raised his head, looked at Li Shuidao, smiled and said, "Oh? You want to live in the bamboo forest? Why?"
"My disciple's recent hard training of "Toad Hard Qigong" has reached a critical point. Living together with two junior brothers is really noisy and I cannot concentrate on my practice." Li Shuidao said truthfully.
"Shui Dao, what have you been busy with in the cave recently?" The golden-faced man suddenly asked.
"Before, we still had to take care of the spiritual fields. Now my junior brothers Zhang Yunlong and Zhang Yunhu have learned how to take care of the spiritual fields in the cave. As for me, apart from practicing, I have not participated in other activities."
"Haha... It seems that your life is easier than that of senior brother." The golden-faced man smiled.
Li Shuidao explained with a wry smile: "It's not that I don't want to do things, but because the master already has a group of talented disciples around him. They have finished all the things in the cave, and the disciples have nothing else to do except practice. "
"Well, since you have this wish, I allow you to live in a thatched cottage. But I have a condition."
"What are your requirements, master?"
The golden-faced man smiled and said: "You can't raise idle people in the cave. You need to eat three meals a day, which are all spiritual rice, and these are all exchanged for the merits of the master."
"Master, if you have anything to do, just send the disciples, and the disciples will do their best." Li Shuidao said with a sincere look.
The golden-faced man nodded: "You go to participate in the sect trial in two months. As long as you are willing to go, you don't need to do anything in the cave, and you can choose any place outside the cave to make a lodge." If you are hungry, you can return to the cave at any time to eat three meals a day, but if you live outside the cave, I am not responsible for your safety."
Li Shuidao frowned and immediately replied: "The disciple's strength is low, I'm afraid he still needs to accumulate it for two years."
"I said that there are no idlers in the cave. It seems you didn't understand what I meant." The golden-faced man said indifferently.
Li Shuidao was stunned for a moment and immediately understood the implication.
Either go to the trial or die. Of course, he can also run away, which means his family will die. This is the fundamental reason why the family monks are "obedient".
Li Shuidao bowed deeply and said gratefully: "Thank you, master, for your cultivation. I will definitely live up to my expectations."
The golden-faced man nodded with satisfaction.
From now on...
Li Shuidao built a thatched cottage in the dense forest outside the cave.
at dusk……
Li Shuidao ended his day's practice and went from the thatched house in the bamboo forest to the Dongfu dining hall.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps. Li Shuidao looked up and saw two new disciples, Zhang Yunhu and Zhang Yunlong.
"Hello, Senior Brother Li!"
"Senior Brother Li, how are you doing lately?"
Li Shuidao nodded and followed them to the dining hall.
When they arrived at the dining hall, Wang Tianjiao greeted him and called him Senior Brother Li.
The cook Han Longguang personally brought him food.
"Senior Brother Li, please enjoy it slowly." Han Longguang said with a smile.
Every junior brother is treated with respect and enthusiasm.
A moment later, Li Shuilang also appeared. As expected, all the junior fellow apprentices turned around and shouted to Li Shuilang: "Senior Brother!"
Li Shuidao smiled slightly, he had long been accustomed to this change.
I really didn’t expect that…
In just less than two years, he and Li Shuilang had grown from young fourteen-year-olds to the level of "senior brothers".
etc……
I am barely sixteen years old now.
Li Shuidao frowned.
What does it mean for the two brothers of the Li family to become senior brothers before they turn sixteen?
It means that the golden-faced man has never really carefully cultivated his disciples.
Most of the previous disciples had died in the sect's trials. To the golden-faced man, all the disciples were just consumables.
There are sect rules and family restrictions, and the disciples he recruits will not betray him anyway. The golden-faced man does not need to train him carefully at all.
The golden-faced man doesn't need loyalty, he just needs his disciples to work. If they can't do it, then go to the training ground.
One month later…
An elegant white-feathered crane slowly flew down from the sky. Before the white crane landed, as soon as it reached the human figure, it jumped down from the crane's back and landed steadily.
Li Shuidao stood up, cupped his fists at Li Shuilang's back and said, "Thank you very much."
Li Shuilang smiled and said: "We are all brothers of the same race, why should we be polite? I will wait for you at the Spirit Beast Valley. You can come here after visiting the market."
Li Shuidao shook his head: "You should go back first. If the master's wife summons you and you are not here, it will be quite troublesome."
"Then how do you go back?"
"I'll walk back by myself."
Li Shuilang's expression changed, and he said nervously: "It's dangerous to walk back."
Li Shuidao replied lightly: "It's okay. I've flown this road countless times. There's no danger."
Li Shuilang had no choice but to smile bitterly: "Okay then."
He rode the white cloud crane into the sky again.
Li Shuidao walked towards the bustling Wudumenfang City.
There is only one month left to sign up for the sect trial. Once you sign up for this kind of trial, you will stay on the mountain until the trial is over.
Li Shuidao only had a month to prepare, and now there was a dusty storage bag sewn on the inside of his clothes.
Now he still has fifteen spiritual stones, the magical weapon Qinglin Scissors, and eight Qi-moving Pills in his storage bag (originally sixteen pills, one pill every half month, half of which have been taken now).
The Qi-moving pill is indeed helpful to his practice, allowing him to absorb the vitality between heaven and earth faster and accumulate mana more quickly.
But if you want to reach the late stage of the psychic realm, not only must you accumulate strong mana, but you must also accumulate the demonic power of your colleagues.
When a monk uses his magical power and his magic power reaches the sky, his fellow practitioners reach the first level and awaken the poisonous cloud magical power, they are in the late stage of the psychic realm.
Early stage of psychic realm = having the same parameters.
Middle stage of psychic realm = possession of mana.
Late stage of the psychic realm = the monk has strong magic power and can awaken the magical power of Poison Cloud.
The Rong Ling Realm is where the monk's magic power and Tong Shen's demonic power merge with each other, the monk's and Tong Shen's spiritual thoughts merge with each other, Taoism and magical power merge with each other...
As for the higher Naxu realm, Li Shuidao didn't know. He only knew that in this realm, Tongshen no matter what size he was could be included in the Sumeru space.
At this stage of the psychic realm, there are no bottlenecks. The core of cultivation is the word "eat". Monks eat Qi-moving pills and Yuheng pills, and practice one or two Taoist methods at the same time. They also eat spiritual things and poisonous things to accumulate demonic power and toxicity. A lot of training resources are consumed.
When Li Shuidao has strong magic power, he can easily activate magic weapons and produce powerful magic at his fingertips.
The Tongshen Jasper Toad can spit out poisonous clouds, and the poisonous clouds billow. At that time, it is the late stage of the psychic realm.
As long as you eat more, you can advance.
In the Five Poison Sect, as long as the monks participate in more trials and survive the trials, it is the only shortcut for ordinary monks to practice.
It is said that only when a monk reaches the peak of the late stage of the psychic realm and breaks through the threshold of the spiritual realm, there will be a bottleneck. Before then, eating is enough.
Often the masters of the Earth Ranking are stuck in this bottleneck. Because of this, the masters of the Earth Ranking will not snatch the fellow disciples from low-level disciples, because it is useless to eat them.
After all, no one wants to do anything that harms others but does not benefit oneself.
The real danger is those who have low cultivation and some means.
Li Shuidao is currently this kind of person.
