night.
Ten fifty.
Southeast of Qinghu City.
Outside a deserted and dilapidated park.
On the dilapidated and disrepaired road, there were only a few half-lit dim street lamps.
The night wind blew by, and the lush and messy forest trees were rustling and moving, and the shadows were wild, teeth and claws showing, like ghosts.
However, this environment, which is enough to scare away young couples in the field, is now filled with an unprecedented lively atmosphere.
On the road, there are people gathering in twos and threes everywhere.
Or chatting and spanking.
Or play Landlords online.
Or have a skewer and drink beer.
…
It is really difficult to create a mysterious atmosphere with this lively scene.
Not to mention that all these people on the field are practitioners.
Near the edge of the fork in the road, the three girls of Han Yingzhen were all gathered together.
The three girls, who used to be naughty and lively and dressed coolly, were extra cautious today.
All of them were wearing long sleeves and long trousers, masks on their faces, and hats on their heads. Their young and beautiful faces were completely obscured.
Not to mention that strangers can't see clearly, even if acquaintances are here, it may be difficult to recognize them.
Even so, there were still frivolous young men with vicious eyes who came forward to chat with them:
"The beauties are dressed very uniquely. Are you going to enter a foreign land later?"
Han Yingzhen did not flinch, but asked crisply:
"People who come here are not entering a foreign land. Are they still here to watch a show?"
Xu Sixue, who was wearing famous brands, grinned when he heard this:
"Indeed, if we weren't going to a foreign land, wouldn't it be better to sleep at home and watch a movie in the middle of the night? Who would come to such a shabby place where birds don't lay eggs?
It's just the three of you. The strongest is only level 2, and the weakest is only level 1. With this strength, I think it's better not to force yourself.
Although this foreign land only has white shirt level, the derivatives inside are at level 3, which seems to be easy to deal with.
But you might as well take a look at the informal cultivating societies outside. The weakest ones are also led by level 3 people. The strongest ones are like the Flower God Society, the Snake Cave, and the Freemasonry. The leaders are all senior level 4 people. It just shows everyone's caution.
Foreign lands are full of unpredictable dangers. Others may have strength, but they may not take care of you. "
Jiang Mingyan on the side took the opportunity to ask:
"I heard from you that the strongest ones are the Flower God Guild and the Snake Cave and other casual cultivating societies. Then haven't giants like the Peace House and the Magician Alliance sent people here?"
"Just because you're not here now doesn't mean you won't be here later."
Xu Sixue shrugged and said:
"Moreover, the news of the existence of spiritual grass in this foreign land only broke out at six o'clock in the evening. The news spread was limited. The two top forces may not receive it, and even if they receive it, they may not take it to heart.
It's just a low-level spiritual grass. At most, it can only provide people with a little spiritual power. The quantity is still very limited. That is to say, we casual cultivators who are short of resources will regard them as treasures.
If it were a big force like the House of Peace or the Magician Alliance, they would have a handful of carefully prepared elixirs. Who cares about these things? Wouldn’t it be nice to have that time to explore more dangerous and valuable foreign lands? "
Han Yingzhen and the three girls nodded to themselves, feeling that they had gained a lot more knowledge.
Seeing their clear and ignorant eyes, Xu Sixue felt that his heart was hit again for the 972nd, 973rd, and 974th time. At that moment, he enthusiastically invited:
"I think you three girls are weak and curious. If you really want to get in, you might as well form a team with us.
Don't look at me like this, after all, I am also a level 4, and my companions there are also level 4.
We are quite famous in the Qinghu Cultivation World, and everyone will give us some face.
If you follow us in, you can at least ensure your personal safety. Do you want to try forming a team? "
Han Yingzhen shook his head and said:
"We appreciate your kindness. Unfortunately, we still have a companion. He will be here soon."
"That's such a shame."
Xu Sixue shrugged helplessly and did not dwell on it:
"Anyway, if you change your mind, you can always come to us."
After saying that, he turned around and walked back into the path.
Zhou Jiantai, who was tall and bearded, saw Xu Sixue returning alone, with an expected expression on his face:
"For the seventeenth time this month, you've already broken the record."
Xu Sixue looked disdainful:
"I am a warrior who has repeatedly failed. It's just seventeen times of failure. It's not a big deal."
Zhou Jiantai shook his head and sighed:
"There is no future in being a licker."
Xu Sixue said disdainfully:
"You don't understand at all. As long as I lick enough, I am not a licking dog, I am the King of the Sea!"
"A licking dog is a licking dog."
"Call me Neptune!"
"Lick the dog."
"Call me Neptune!"
"Lick the dog."
…
Xu Sixue and Zhou Jiantai were arguing over there.
A figure riding a small electric donkey slowly appeared on the fork in the road.
After seeing him, Han Yingzhen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly waved his hands and shouted:
"Brother Su, here! Here!"
Su Mo drove over slowly on a small electric donkey.
Su Mo was also quite surprised when he saw the three girls.
I thought that what happened last night when they were in trouble late at night would be a big blow to them.
Now it seems that I have learned some lessons, my temperament has become a little more mature, and I have become more cautious when going out.
But what surprised Su Mo the most was that all three of them became practitioners.
Han Yingzhen is level 2, and Xu Anqi and Jiang Mingyan are both level 1.
And he is not a fusion person, but a true magician.
They obviously revealed that they have no talent for cultivation, so what's going on?
Su Mo handed over three small fresh meat pancakes.
After taking it, the three women, who had been extremely hungry for a long time, immediately devoured it.
Han Yingzhen's way of eating seemed very generous. He folded the sesame seed cake and took a big bite in one bite, without fear of the bulging in his mouth.
Jiang Mingyan is more particular about it. She eats the entire outer circle first, and then gradually eats inward, with meat in every bite.
As for Xu Anqi, after getting the sesame cakes, she acted like a rabbit, hiding behind the two of them, biting them intensively with small mouths at a very fast speed. At first glance, it sounded like silkworms eating mulberry leaves.
About five minutes later, after finishing their midnight snacks, the three women all seemed to come to life, looking satisfied and contented that they had no regrets in their lives.
Su Mo pointed to the corner of his mouth.
Xu Anqi suddenly blushed, picked up a tissue and wiped it quickly.
Han Yingzhen used a tissue to wipe the corners of Jiang Mingyan's mouth clean.
After they finished, Su Mo asked curiously:
"Why did you all become practitioners?"
Xu Anqi and Jiang Mingyan looked at Han Yingzhen at the same time.
Han Yingzhen chuckled, leaned closer and whispered:
"I found a treasure and got a Qi training method. All three of us relied on that Qi training method to get started."
As she spoke, she took out a small, square stack of paper from the lining pocket of her clothes, handed it directly to Su Mo, and said sincerely:
"I copied this down. Maybe Brother Su won't need it, but if you take a look, you might find something to learn from."
Su Mo was instantly shocked.
Naturally, it is impossible for him not to know the rarity of Qi training method.
That is a precious technique that can help practitioners with insufficient qualifications to get started!
At this moment when spiritual energy has just been revived, at this moment when countless people can only take risks and become fusions.
Once an ownerless qi training method comes out, it will definitely cause an uproar and be frantically snatched by all forces.
Even the House of Peace and the Magician Alliance are no exception!
That is a supreme treasure that can lay the foundation of a great power.
To those big forces, even the intact magic weapon may not be as good as Qi training method!
Looking at Han Yingzhen who reached out and handed over the exercises, Su Mo's eyes were complicated:
"Do you really know the value of Qi training?"
"Don't worry, Brother Su, I'm not that stupid. I still understand the preciousness of Qi training."
Han Yingzhen smiled and said:
"From the time we got the technique to now, there are only three of us who have come into contact with the contents of the technique. Now, at most, you are included, and there will probably be no others in the future.
You have saved us so many times, whether it is repayment or gratitude, I think this exercise should be shared with you.
Besides, we have now entered the practice circle, and there will definitely be many places where we need to rely on you in the future. I hope you won’t dislike it. "
"I've finished telling you. It's my fault if I don't accept it."
Su Mo smiled slightly and said:
"Okay, I won't be pretentious. I have never seen Qi training in my life, so I just want to see what it's like."
He took a small stack of paper from Han Yingzhen's hand.
The paper still vaguely carries her body temperature.
Open it up and take a quick look.
A few more than two thousand words were immediately engraved in his mind as if printed on paper.
After reading the whole article, the words are simple and there are no mysterious and mysterious passages. However, after thinking deeply, I feel that it is extremely profound. Once you study it thoroughly, it will even play a great role in learning other techniques in the future.
Where did Han Yingzhen find this magical Qi training method?
Su Mo wondered to himself, but did not hesitate too much.
Ordinary people may have to study hard, but he only needs to add a little more.
After the consumption of adding some Chiyang Kung last time, he only had 555 skill points left.
Fortunately, this "Shenxiao Dongxuan Qi Training Method" only has five levels in total, which should be enough.
Su Mo immediately started adding more points.
Spend 5 points to master the first level.
Spend 50 points to master the second level.
Spend 500 points to master the third level.
Gone.
Su Mo looked puzzled.
How could this be? !
It only costs 495 points to reach the full level of Chiyang Kung Fu!
This Qi training method only consumed 555 points in the first three levels!
And it doubles the consumption!
Doesn’t it cost 50,000 points to reach the fifth level? !
Where did such an outrageous technique come from? !
Su Mo was shocked and confused.
The next second, he suddenly noticed something strange happening inside his body.
There seems to be some kind of air flow that is moving according to the trajectory described by the technique.
He amplified his mental perception to the limit and immediately discovered that the air flow contained extremely weak and extremely weak energy particles, just like a few grains of dust in a city.
Su Mo immediately understood that these were the only spiritual energy particles in his body.
Under normal circumstances, the first step to becoming a magician is to sense the aura from the outside world.
Then introduce these spiritual energy into the body, turn it into one's own spiritual power, and build a corresponding cycle, which can endlessly temper the body and internal organs, and even transcend mortals and realize the evolution of life.
In other words, magicians basically do not need special skills to practice. As long as they complete the step of introducing spiritual energy and clear the internal and external barriers, the rest will fall into place.
The difference is that everyone's talent is different, and their cultivation speed is fast or slow.
Of course, this cultivation speed can also be accelerated through various methods such as spiritual land, spiritual plants, and spiritual medicine.
Leaving aside these talented people who can reach the threshold of magicians.
Those who are stuck outside the door are divided into two categories.
One type is able to sense spiritual energy, but has difficulty communicating and introducing it into the body.
The other type is those who can't even sense anything. Once their eyes are closed, it's dark, and then they fall asleep. This is basically the result.
The former relies on Qi training methods to help establish a connection with external spiritual energy, thereby becoming a magician.
If it's the latter, even if it's Qi training, I'm afraid it won't be able to do anything.
Su Mo knows his own affairs.
He can't even sense spiritual energy, so even if you give him some energy training, it's pointless.
After all, it is impossible to conjure spiritual energy out of thin air using Qi training methods.
Originally, he just added some points to this Qi training method with the attitude of giving it a try. Even if it is not used now, it may be used in the future when the concentration of external spiritual energy is high.
Who would have thought that this technique could be so evil that the old tree he cultivated would blossom on the spot.
It is obviously impossible to cultivate the qualifications, but in the end, extremely fine particles of spiritual energy were collected from his body, running on their own, building a cycle, and resonating with the spiritual energy of the outside world.
Yes, resonance.
Through this resonance, he felt the aura around him for the first time.
It was as if a piece of black glass filled with ink had been completely scrubbed clean, revealing a new world to him that he had never seen before.
Then the window opened, and endless energy surged in.
Go in a circle.
Sorcerer Level 1!
Loop fifty times!
Sorcerer Level 2!
Cycle seven hundred times!
Sorcerer level 3!
In the blink of an eye, Su Mo changed from an ordinary person in the eyes of outsiders to a level 3 magician, achieving an unprecedented triple jump!
This is not only due to Shenxiao Dongxuan's qi training, but also due to his own strong physique.
If an ordinary person were to operate the technique like him, his body would have been unable to bear it long ago, bursting to pieces on the spot, or even going crazy.
But to Su Mo, it didn't matter at all. Even if something went wrong in his practice, he could just put the brakes on and go back.
All attributes are more than 4,000, so he is so willful.
After practicing to the third level, Su Mo also roughly felt the barriers mentioned by the magicians.
But that barrier was easily broken through for him, it was no problem at all.
But Su Mo also understood that it might take some time to break through that barrier.
Because the subsequent practice can only be done step by step, not so fast.
The main reason why he jumped to level 3 tonight was because his physical barriers were opened and he got a rare opportunity for initiation. Ordinary people may not be able to take advantage of it, but it would be an advantage for him in vain.
Feeling the circulation in his body, Su Mo felt unprecedented joy in his heart.
He didn't expect to start practicing the magician system in this way.
In this way, in addition to the original way to add points to the system, he has another way to increase his strength.
Even if something goes wrong with the system in the future, the way forward will not be cut off instantly.
The sense of crisis that existed deep in Su Mo's heart finally relaxed a little.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel more grateful to Han Yingzhen.
Before he could express his gratitude, someone suddenly greeted him from the alley:
"Master Su, you are here too!"
Su Mo turned his right hand away, his palm shook slightly, and the paper recording the exercises instantly turned into powder.
Looking at Xu Sixue and Zhou Jiantai running over, Su Mo was quite surprised:
"I didn't expect it was you two. Is Mr. Lu here?"
Xu Sixue smiled and replied:
"Mr. Lu doesn't like this thing. He still has his own things to be busy with, so he asked us to come over. Anyway, we are both free."
Zhou Jiantai seemed to think of something and said quickly:
"By the way, Mr. Lu mentioned to me before that regarding the Secret Martial Arts, the original transaction partner was hospitalized. He said his eyes were accidentally injured, so the transaction may have to be postponed for a while."
Su Mo nodded and said:
"Mr. Lu has already sent me a message about this matter. There is no rush for now."
There's no point in being anxious.
The skill points have just been used up.
There is also a fourth- and fifth-level gold-swallowing beast on the horse.
The two sides chatted for a while and then introduced each other.
Knowing that the companion of Han Yingzhen and others turned out to be Su Mo, Xu Sixue felt speechless for a while.
Fortunately, he still wanted to take care of others.
Now I'm afraid someone else will have to take care of him.
Xu Sixue licked his face and wanted to join the team.
Su Mo didn't refuse.
At least, Lu Zongping's affection is here, and there are two more level 4s, so it is convenient to have someone to take care of him.
Ever since he knew that there might be spiritual grass in this foreign land, Su Mo knew that the situation would not be simple.
With so many casual cultivators belonging to different groups, once a fight broke out, the scene would be unbearable to watch.
Just as he was thinking about it, three black Mercedes-Benz G's suddenly stopped at the intersection.
Immediately, the car doors all opened, and a dozen people walked out of the car, all of them capable and capable, with strong auras.
Seeing this group of people, especially the child and the big wave in purple skirt who walked out at the end, many casual cultivators suddenly changed their colors, and bursts of commotion came from the venue:
"Why are they here?"
"Does the Magician Alliance also value this spiritual grass?"
"And we also sent out two envoys. Are you kidding me?"
"As for competing with us poor people for this small profit?"
"Hey! This is a collision with the regular army. How many plants you can grab depends on your ability!"
"What are you afraid of? There are so many of us, how can we not catch a dozen of them? I don't believe he dares to risk public anger to deal with everyone!"
"So what if they deal with everyone? Do you have Level 5? Do you really think you can win with more people? Which of the patrols of the Magician Alliance didn't rely on their combat prowess?"
…
Everyone was talking, and the atmosphere on the field became obscure for a while.
The heads of the Flower God Association, the Snake Cave, the Freemasonry and other associations all frowned at Kong Jinting and his entourage as they approached.
Kong Jinting and Cao Bin led a group of subordinates and walked inside with calm expressions while facing many eyes with different emotions.
Their faces showed the calmness and calmness that only members of the big forces had, which was in sharp contrast to the embarrassment and anger of the casual cultivators.
Seeing this scene, Han Yingzhen suddenly sighed:
"It turns out that there are hierarchies in the spiritual world."
“Where in the world is there no class?”
Xu Sixue shook his head, and he didn't know whether the expression on his face was envy or jealousy:
“Top powers like the House of Peace and the Magician Alliance were probably established in the first year of the spiritual energy recovery.
There are countless capable people and geniuses in their organization. Along the way, they have explored thousands of foreign lands, discovered many spiritual places and even ruins, etc.
No one knows how much knowledge they have accumulated.
If this was a world of immortals, then they would undoubtedly be the top sect famous all over the world.
As for us wandering cultivators, it seems that the gap in strength has not reached an unimaginable level.
But as time goes by, as the spiritual tide continues to arrive, the gap will only get bigger and bigger.
Therefore, casual cultivators should also stay together to stay warm.
The small groups in front of us are the best examples.
People like us should actually stick together. "
As he spoke, Xu Sixue glanced at Su Mo.
Su Mo:?
Jiang Mingyan nodded in agreement and said:
"That makes sense."
Han Yingzhen put her arms around her and Xu Anqi, and said with a smile:
"So the three of us are already a small organization!"
Then she looked at Su Mo and invited her warmly:
"Brother Su, do you want to join in?"
Su Mo hesitated and said:
"I have to deliver food, so I may not have that much time."
Xu Anqi looked at Su Mo and suggested weakly:
"Brother Su can come over and be a consultant. Anyway, consultants don't have to follow us around all day long. They just need to play a role at critical moments like today!"
"In this case, it's not impossible."
Su Mo nodded.
"Then how are the consulting fees calculated?"
Han Yingzhen said troubled.
Jiang Mingyan quickly suggested:
"Why don't you give me some money?"
Xu Anqi said doubtfully:
"But is Brother Su short of money?"
Han Yingzhen looked embarrassed:
"But we have nothing but money."
I watched the three women murmuring over the consulting fees.
Thinking of the qi training method given by Han Yingzhen not long ago, Su Mo was immediately ready to refuse:
"Consultancy fee is even -"
"Brother Su!" Han Yingzhen interrupted nervously: "Do you think one million a month is okay?"
"One million per month for one person, three million for three people. Can I hire you as a consultant for this monthly salary? We don't have much money, so we can only pay this price."
Han Yingzhen's eyes were full of pleading.
Su Mo said in a daze:
"Even if the consulting fee... is calculated as a quarterly payment, it's not impossible!"
Upon hearing his answer, the three women immediately cheered and hugged each other.
Zhou Jiantai saw this scene and said with emotion:
"Three million to hire a strong man whose weakest level is level 6. It's really a fool's blessing."
at the same time.
Kong Jinting, who had come to the nearest part of the park, suddenly stopped.
Cao Bin on the side looked at her in surprise.
"I felt a certain sense of prying eyes."
Kong Jinting turned to look at the scattered practitioners on the path. Her eyes paused for a moment on a young man with a square head and big ears and a dull expression, and then looked away.
Cao Bin, who was as short as a child, also glanced at it and sneered:
"This group of casual cultivators, the strongest of which is only level 4, can only do this little trick. They all just stare at the low-level spiritual grass inside, as if everyone is interested in the dog food in their dog bowls. Yes, I will see what they will do if the Black Shadow class really appears!"
Kong Jinting frowned slightly, feeling slightly unhappy:
"After all, they are all practitioners in Qinghu City. They can play a role in destroying the strange monsters in the outside world. If we really encounter the black shadow class later, try to evacuate them as far as possible. There is no need to let them all die in the here."
"As long as it doesn't affect my mission, I don't care if they die."
Cao Bin put his hands behind his head, looking unconcerned.
Kong Jinting still needs a few more words of advice.
The dilapidated park in front of me seemed to be slightly distorted.
A strange wave quickly spread to the surroundings.
Foreign land is open.
