"Master Deacon, this disciple is here to check the books." Chu Cheng said to the deacon in front of him.
That day, Lin Qingrou said that Ouyang Xiu was in seclusion. Chu Cheng was afraid that Zhu Zhiche would cause trouble, so he also practiced in seclusion for a month, and did not prepare to go out until he received the benefits.
However, in the past month, I have spent more than 20 low-grade spiritual stones and seven or eight Qi Gathering Pills. Except for a few spiritual powers in the fourth vein, I have never made any progress, let alone a breakthrough in gathering energy. The fifth level of anger. The fourth vein has reached a saturation stage.
According to Chu Cheng's idea, in a land with such abundant spiritual energy, he should have been able to break through by spending more than twenty low-grade spiritual stones.
But he thought wrongly. If he could advance by relying on spirit stones alone, then the entire Immortal Sect could use spirit stones to pile up a large number of ninth-level Qi-gathering monks, and some disciples would not be able to reach the level of Qi-gathering after more than ten years. One layer of Qi and two layers. You know, they get six spiritual stones a month, which is seventy-two in a year, and seven hundred and twenty in ten years.
Seven hundred and twenty low-grade spiritual stones seemed to be a huge sum. But in fact, it only amounts to seven middle-grade spiritual stones.
The essence and quantity of spiritual energy contained in a middle-grade spiritual stone are definitely not comparable to that of a low-grade spiritual stone.
If Chu Cheng used the middle-grade spiritual stones on his body to practice and spent more than a dozen of them, he might actually be able to achieve a breakthrough. But those are reserved for use when the sixth level of Qi gathering breaks through to the seventh level. As for the three high-grade spiritual stones on his body, he would definitely not use them casually.
Chu Cheng stopped practicing hard when he saw a bottleneck period. Maybe one day he would be lucky enough to break through even with a drink of water. So when I was receiving benefits this month, I suddenly thought of going to the Library to have a look.
After all, these are the two tricks I use every time. The sword's light and shadow are not very powerful and can only be used to catch someone unawares. Even if they are stabbed, they will not cause much damage. It mainly relies on the seven leaping moves. However, it consumes too much spiritual energy. Often, with one move, the spiritual energy in the body is almost exhausted.
As for the fireball technique, not to mention, in Chu Cheng's mind, it was just a necessity when going out.
The deacon looked up at Chu Cheng and said, "New face, new guy?"
Chu Cheng responded: "This disciple has just arrived and wants to choose a spell."
The deacon was kind-hearted and reminded: "It costs six low-grade spiritual stones to enter the library. This is your monthly benefit. I advise you to practice quickly first. It will not be too late to come back when you have gathered your energy."
Chu Cheng chuckled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, deacon. This disciple has successfully gathered energy."
The deacon was stunned when he heard this, and said with a smile: "So, your qualifications are pretty good. You are the first new disciple to come here in more than a month, but you'd better do some sect tasks. , otherwise the entry fee will be wasted.”
"The sect's mission?" Chu Cheng was a little confused. How did entering the library to select spells have anything to do with the sect's mission?
The deacon was naturally aware of Chu Cheng's doubts, and patiently explained: "Although it only costs six low-grade spiritual stones to enter the library, the secrets of the techniques inside are not something that can be read casually, but require contributions from the sect."
"Contribution point?"
"Yes! Each skill secret book has a prescribed contribution point. If the contribution points are not enough, then naturally it will not be read."
Chu Cheng understood and felt a little grateful to the deacon. If he hadn't told him this, six low-grade spiritual stones would have been wasted.
"Thank you, Mr. Deacon!" Chu Cheng respectfully clasped his fists in thanks.
"No, the place to receive the sect's mission is over on South Street. There is a teleportation array there. Teleport there and go three miles west, and you'll be there." The deacon didn't forget to point out the way.
After Chu Cheng said goodbye, he went to South Street and saw a teleportation array in a pavilion.
"Why does the Luoyun Sect need teleportation arrays everywhere? There are so many spiritual stones." Chu Cheng murmured, lamenting in his heart. Until now, I am still not used to the discomfort caused by teleportation, which is similar to the motion sickness in my previous life.
The teleportation array naturally needs to be activated with spirit stones, but since the distance is not very far, the consumption is extremely low. A low-grade spirit stone can be teleported hundreds of times. A cross-city and cross-region teleportation like that is very expensive. Sometimes it is even necessary to use high-grade spiritual stones.
Chu Cheng stepped into the teleportation array and saw a burst of green light as soon as he entered. After the light disappeared, there was no one in the pavilion.
...
...
There was a flash of light in the air, and a figure came out.
"Ugh!" Chu Cheng felt dizzy and tinnitus as soon as the transmission came out. A wave of nausea came over him, and his stomach rolled and he almost vomited it out.
Fortunately, I haven't eaten for many days, so I didn't vomit filth.
"Oh no, why are you reacting so strongly this time?" Chu Cheng responded slowly and muttered.
In the previous teleportation, there was no such strong feeling of nausea.
Suddenly, a dark shadow in the distant sky flashed past quickly.
Chu Cheng saw clearly that the man was a monk, but he was dressed in purple robes. Immediately he knew the identity of that person.
In Luoyun Sect, there are no restrictions on the clothing of the outer sect disciples. When they reach the inner sect, they are uniformly dressed in green robes. As for the core disciples, they are all dressed in purple robes.
"What a fast speed!" Chu Cheng murmured. This person had passed him just a mile away in just ten breaths.
"As expected of a foundation-building monk!" Chu Cheng was yearning for it, wondering when he would reach the foundation-building stage.
"Wait!" Chu Cheng suddenly thought of something: "Why are there core disciples here? Is it possible that this is no longer the outer sect area?"
Chu Cheng guessed correctly, this was indeed not the outer gate area, nor the inner gate. The Hall of Merit is located at the center of the core, inner gate, and outer gate. Disciples from all districts come here to receive tasks.
The outer gate area is more than two hundred miles away from here. It's no wonder that Chu Cheng's discomfort was so great during this teleportation.
Chu Cheng could see the Hall of Merit from afar. The golden dome of the main hall penetrated the top of the clouds. It was so majestic!
Arriving at the Gong Lao Sect, he met many disciples along the way, especially here. Chu Cheng estimated that there were more than fifty, including many inner disciples.
Chu Cheng walked into the hall and was attracted by a crystal screen at first glance.
"Core disciple, Li Yunsheng killed the old evil cultivator Devouring Infants in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. He completed the second-level task and was rewarded with 1,560 contribution points."
"Core disciple, He Ziliang collected the fairy grass red sesame, completed the third-level task, and received a reward of 240 contribution points."
"..."
The crystal screen is filled with completed tasks one by one.
Chu Cheng looked at the subtitles and suddenly saw a person's name.
"Zhu Ziche, teach the demon guard in the early stage of foundation building in Demon-Slaying Clothes, complete the second-level mission, and be rewarded with 1,240 contribution points."
Chu Cheng was shocked. The Zhuzhi car had indeed left the border! Moreover, his cultivation has really entered the foundation building stage. Not only that, he killed an evil foundation building cultivator as soon as he came out of seclusion!
This even caused a stir among the inner gates!
You know, when foundation-building monks fight at the same level, it is easy to defeat their opponents, but it is difficult to kill them.
Foundation-building monks are different from Qi-gathering monks. They already have a steady stream of spiritual support. If a foundation-building monk is determined to escape, then another foundation-building monk will never be able to escape unless he is pursued to death and takes a long time. Kill a person with the same level of foundation building mission!
Chu Cheng didn't expect that Zhu Ziche was even more powerful than he thought!
Suddenly, the screen swayed like a water curtain and melted, and the subtitles were erased one after another. The subtitles reappeared, but there was only one line of text on the screen.
"Core disciple Chu Feibai killed the old monster withered wood in the early stage of liquid condensation stage and completed the first-class mission. He was rewarded with 4,500 contribution points."
There was a crash, and the whole audience was shocked!
Several core disciples looked at the screen with solemn expressions, even in disbelief.
"Senior Brother Li! Has Senior Brother Chu entered the liquid condensation stage?" A purple-clothed monk came over and asked the other one.
Chu Cheng happened to look over and saw that the core disciple looked familiar. Then he remembered that the person named Li was the core disciple who flew past him.
"Probably not. The fight against him seven days ago was still in the late stage of foundation building." The disciple surnamed Li shook his head and smiled bitterly. It seems that Chu Fei gave him up in vain last time.
Chu Cheng was stunned when he heard that this brother from the same family named Chu was so powerful. He could kill him beyond the level in the late stage of foundation building. This kind of person is probably even more powerful than Ouyang Xiu.
"Now among the core, only Ouyang Xiu and Gong Shiyue can compete with Senior Brother Chu."
"I, Li Yunsheng, am no worse than them!" Li Yunsheng clenched his fists and walked towards the third floor.
The third floor is crowded, and few people come here, because all the people here are first-class missions. Luoyun Sect will not have many first-class tasks within ten years, and it will be very difficult to complete them.
