Looking at the technique in his hand, Lu Zhong's expression was uncertain.
This "Qingyang Jade Xuan Gong", once you hear it, you will know that it is the Qingyang Sect's Kung Fu.
In this case, the burnt corpse he picked up was most likely a disciple of the Qingyang Sect who was harmed by the demon cultivator.
There is a well-known taboo in Qingliuxu, that is, you must not secretly practice the Qingyang Clan Kung Fu. All casual cultivators who practice secretly have a bad end. One or two of them are detained by the Qingyang Clan law enforcement monks and never heard from again.
Lu Zhong did not dare to take this risk. After all, once Qingyang Yuxuan Gong was practiced secretly, traces would be exposed.
By then, once someone reports it, everything will be over.
"In this case, these things I obtained cannot be exposed, otherwise it will easily attract the attention of Qingyang Sect. It will be a small matter if the things are taken back. If they are regarded as an accomplice of the demon cultivator, then..."
Thinking of this, Lu Zhong sighed and decided to hide the storage bag first and wait until the limelight passed.
After drinking a few sips of Liangbaikai, he calmed down a little. He touched the seven spirit stones in his pocket and couldn't help but take out one of them and put it in his hand to look at it carefully.
Lingshi, as the name suggests, is a crystal containing spiritual energy. According to the accepted theory in the cultivation world, spiritual energy is deposited in naturally formed crystals and often appears in the form of mineral veins.
Depending on the amount of spiritual energy contained, spiritual stones can be divided into four levels, from low-grade to top-grade.
According to the established customs in the cultivation world, spiritual stones generally refer to low-grade spiritual stones. Only medium-grade spiritual stones and above will be specially added with a grade affix.
For monks, spiritual stones are a stable and reliable source of spiritual energy and are often used as energy sources.
Because it is a natural mineral, the spirit stone is not suitable for direct absorption. The method of use is basically to transform it through the spirit gathering array. Only the transformed pure spiritual energy is suitable for monks to refine it for personal use.
If you encounter an emergency, it can be used for emergency recovery, but you must practice hard afterwards to get rid of the impurities absorbed into the body to avoid adverse effects on future practice.
In the dim cabin, the spirit stone in Lu Zhong's hand was emitting a faint light.
"Well, how should we use this money? The rent is due soon, so one spirit stone cannot be moved. In order to plan for next month, we need to prepare another spirit stone... We can't stop making talismans. Next, I need to buy at least one talisman paper to continue practicing... This way there are still four spirit stones left, so I can buy a book of basic exercises."
His eyes lit up when he thought of the basic skills.
"Yes, just use it to buy basic exercises!"
Without further thinking, Lu Zhong immediately opened the door and walked towards the Shufa Pavilion.
…
Today is not the day when the market is open, and there are no monks entering or leaving the Shufa Pavilion.
When Lu Zhong raised his legs and stepped in, he found that Zhike, who usually used his nostrils to see people, was gone. Instead, he was a middle-aged man with a green beard wearing an apricot-colored gown. It is the middle stage of Qi refining.
It looked like this person was taking stock.
Hearing someone coming in, the middle-aged man put down the account book in his hand, raised his head and chuckled softly: "I'm Qin Qingshu, the manager of the Shufa Pavilion. I wonder if your distinguished guest is here to buy a skill, or is he planning to choose a suitable skill?"
Without thinking, Lu Zhong cupped his hands and replied, "Can I trouble you, Manager Qin, to choose a basic technique for me?"
"Well, no problem. How is your spiritual root?" Qin Qingshu nodded and asked.
The choice of exercises is very particular. If you choose the right method, you will get twice the result with half the effort. If you choose the wrong method, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
And no matter what you choose, the prerequisite is that it must conform to the spiritual root attributes of the monk himself.
Otherwise, even if you cultivate the Tianling Root, you will achieve nothing.
After knowing the attributes of Lu Zhong's four spirit roots, Qin Qingshu gently rubbed his temples and closed his eyes to think about it. He clapped his hands for a long time and said: "I have thought of several exercises that are suitable for fellow Taoists. Please wait a moment, I will do it right now." Go get the technique."
It took him only half an hour to leave.
When Qin Qingshu came back again, he was already holding a stack of books in his hands.
"Okay, that's it!" Qin Qingshu placed a thick stack of basic exercises on the counter, then looked at Lu Zhong and said: "Seeing that fellow Taoist is a casual cultivator, why don't you let me introduce it to you? how?"
Lu Zhong felt that it was necessary. After all, he was indeed a casual cultivator without a master.
Although the techniques sold in the Shufa Pavilion are all popular techniques, there is no reason to choose one randomly.
Thinking of this, he nodded.
Qin Qingshu saw it, smiled slightly, and picked up a book of basic exercises.
"Little Four Elephants Kung Fu Qi Refining Chapter, a rare four-attribute technique priced at 120 spirit stones."
"Although Taoist friends lack the golden spirit root, it is not impossible to practice. After practicing this skill, it can stimulate the release of the four elements of true energy. Different attributes of the true energy have their own wonderful uses. Among them, the Qinglong true energy belongs to wood and can nourish the body. The white tiger's true energy can nourish the body. True Qi belongs to the Golden Palm Killing, and pouring it into a magic weapon is of great benefit for fighting. Suzaku True Qi belongs to fire, so it will gain certain benefits when casting fire spells. As for Xuanwu True Qi, it is also wonderful. Adding it to a defensive weapon can make it stronger."
Seeing that Lu Zhong didn't say anything, Manager Qin put down the "Little Four Elephant Skills" and picked up a book of basic skills.
"The Qi Refining Chapter of Shuimu Sword Technique, a dual-attribute technique, priced at one hundred spirit stones."
"This method is a sword technique. Just getting started can greatly improve your strength. However, the subsequent training process is extremely difficult. Only those with a rock-hard mind can't succeed. Fortunately, after practicing to the third level, you can emit sword light to hurt the enemy. , although the power of the sword light depends on one's specific cultivation level, it is still a good technique."
Hearing this introduction, Lu Zhong was also a little moved, but decided to listen to it before talking.
On the other side, Manager Qin once again picked up a book of basic exercises.
"The weapon-melting skill, a non-attribute skill, is priced at five hundred spirit stones."
"As the name suggests, this is a technique that integrates magical weapons into oneself to enhance strength. As long as the number of magical weapons is integrated, the practitioner will be stronger and will eventually reach the state of invincibility during the Qi refining period. However, there are also disadvantages It is very obvious that first of all, it costs money, and then this technique only has a Qi-refining chapter and no follow-up techniques."
As if knowing that Lu Zhong would not choose "Integration Skills", Manager Qin picked up the last basic skills book.
"Water, Fire, and Green Wood Kung Fu Qi Refining Chapter, a three-attribute technique, priced at 250 spirit stones."
"Water and fire blend together and help grow green wood. Those who have mastered this skill can bring a hint of green wood characteristics to their spiritual power. The green wood characteristics have advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that they can feed back to the monks themselves, making the practice of skills faster, and making the skills used more effective. Wood spells are stronger, making wood-attributed magic weapons emit stronger power. The disadvantage is that when you select the next stage of skills, they will be bound to wood-attribute skills."
After the introduction, Manager Qin stopped talking and waited for Lu Zhong to make his choice.
Lu Zhong, on his side, felt relieved after listening to Manager Qin's introduction.
Perhaps because they are low-end exercises, and there are only Qi-refining chapters of the exercises, the prices of these basic exercises are not high.
For Lu Zhong, he couldn't afford the Water Fire Green Wood Kung Fu, so he was the first to rule it out.
The same is true for the weapon-melting skill. You can tell at a glance that it is prepared for rich people. It is not suitable for small casual cultivators like Lu Zhong, so it can be ruled out.
The remaining ones are Xiao Si Xiang Gong and Shuimu Sword Technique. It is a bit difficult to choose these two techniques.
The Four Elements Qi has endless magical uses, but it is a pity that Lu Zhong lacks gold in the Five Elements. Although Manager Qin said that he can also practice it, he probably has to use clever methods. The sword light of Shuimu Sword Technique looks good, but it is a kendo technique that is easy to learn but difficult to master.
After hesitating for a while, Lu Zhong made a difficult decision.
"I choose the Mizuki Sword Technique!"
"Oh, fellow Taoist's choice is really surprising!"
Manager Qin originally thought that Lu Zhong would choose the Little Four Symbols Technique, but he did not expect that the other party unexpectedly chose the Shuimu Sword Technique.
Thinking of the recent appearance of demon cultivators, he suddenly felt that maybe this would be a good choice.
After taking a look at Lu Zhong who was not wearing cassocks, Manager Qin asked again: "Do you want to buy the whole article?"
"No! Separately, buy the first three floors first." Lu Zhong has already inquired about it. The basic skills of the Shufa Pavilion can be bought separately, and it is very cheap to buy only the first three floors. A few spiritual stones will suffice. Buy it.
"Okay, the price of the first three levels of skills is three spirit stones." Manager Qin said concisely and concisely. He would sell whatever he could, and there was no reason to refuse this business.
After handing over the spirit stone, Lu Zhong got his wish and obtained the first three levels of the Qi Refining Chapter of Shuimu Sword Technique.
"I'd like to remind you, remember not to teach the skills to others, otherwise... you know." Manager Qin, who had put away other skill books, warned without raising his head.
After hearing this, Lu Zhong felt a chill in his heart and nodded quickly: "I know."
"Well, do you want to choose a spell to keep with you? The pavilion has just received a batch of new goods, and they are all good spells." Manager Qin recommended as usual. Usually, customers who can afford basic skills will want to buy one. The low-level spells are close to you.
And low-level spells are indeed cheap.
