For several days in a row, apart from following Xu Xiangying to the Heavenly Beast Hall to do something from time to time, Liu Qingyi also focused on his cultivation at other times. If he asked Xu Xiangying for advice on some unclear aspects of his cultivation, he would tell him everything.
After practicing the Xutian Kung Fu for the past few days, Liu Qingyi clearly felt that his realm was gradually loosening. According to Xu Xiangying, this was because he had stayed in the first level of Lingxian for too long and had accumulated enough. Once he practiced the Xianmen Kung Fu, he would As if everything comes naturally, he breaks through the barrier and advances to the second level of the spiritual cultivation stage. This kind of example often happened among new disciples in the past.
With joy in her heart, Liu Qingyi raised her left hand and moved toward the bucket in the lobby. She saw that the water in the bucket merged into a stream of water as if it were spiritual. A water dragon came out of the bucket and was divided into five water columns. Pour it evenly in five directions in the hall. This is Liu Qingyi's test of the water diversion technique he just learned.
He then saw his hands casting spells on several places on the ground, and the water stains on the ground slowly turned into white frost.
After a while, Liu Qingyi shook his hands and pushed his palms flat. A red fire burst out from his palms and swept towards the white frost on the ground. The white frost that had just formed on the ground melted away at a speed visible to the naked eye until it was evaporated. Dry.
Liu Qingyi's practice of these eight minor immortal arts was extremely efficient because of his background in practicing some minor immortal arts. After a few days, although there were no great achievements in the advancement of these eight minor immortal arts, they were all slightly improved. Small success. In particular, the two arts of Spiritual Flame and Control of the Air were performed as if they were hands and fingers, and they were so proficient that they couldn't be more proficient.
After cleaning the hall, Liu Qingyi took the bucket and went to the meeting hall on the second floor. After cleaning the hall, he returned to his residence.
Xu Xiangying went out for something today, and the room was empty at the moment. Liu Qingyi took out the gray spirit ring, weighed it in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully. Under his gaze, a faint gray halo passed through the spirit ring, showing several... A mysterious color.
"Is this the spirit-controlling weapon used by the Heavenly Beast Sect to roam the fairy world?"
According to Xu Xiangying, there are only a handful of immortal sects with unique magical arts and magical weapons like the Heavenly Beast Sect in the entire immortal world. Such a small spiritual ring can be said to be something that many basic spiritual enlightenment practitioners cannot even think of.
This terrifying magical weapon that summons parallel combat forces out of thin air has put an unknown amount of pressure on many immortal monks in the southern realm of the fairy kingdom. It has long become a nightmare-like existence in the minds of monks from all sides.
As a kind of magical weapon, the beast spirit ring naturally has different grades. In the fairy world, the rank of magical treasures is called "grade", which refers to the rank of magical treasures. From low to high, they are magic treasures, spiritual treasures, fairy treasures, and holy treasures. 'Grade' refers to magical instruments of the same level, which are divided into four grades: low-grade, medium-grade, top-grade, and top-grade.
According to Xu Xiangying, the animal spirit rings of different grades in the Heavenly Beast Sect often show different colors.
Among the magic weapons, only the top ones are cyan, and the rest are gray. The gray spirit ring in Liu Qingyi's hand is just a low-grade magic weapon among magic weapons.
There are four kinds of beast spirit rings at the Lingbao level: low-grade purple ring, medium-grade black ring, high-grade white ring, and top-grade brown ring. The top-grade Lingbao is also called the small fairy treasure.
The animal spirit rings of the Immortal Treasure level appear in four colors: orange, yellow, gold, and dark gold. Among them, the dark gold top grade Immortal Treasure is also called the Little Holy Treasure.
It is said that Lei Zhen, the master of the Heavenly Beast Sect, has a dark golden beast spirit ring in his hand, which is one of the symbols of the master of the Heavenly Beast Sect. Although this ring is not a holy treasure, its power is not inferior to that of a holy treasure. It is a truly top-grade fairy treasure. The fairy world calls this kind of top-grade fairy treasure a small holy treasure, which shows the power of this dark golden spiritual ring.
For ordinary disciples, the higher the grade of the beast spirit ring they obtain, the more smoothly and smoothly they can perform Xu Tian Yuling Jue. The more other magical arts they can use with the spirit ring, the more powerful they can be against the enemy. More and more powerful. At the same time, there is another benefit, which is that with the help of high-grade spiritual rings, the immortal beasts whose souls are imprinted in them can practice faster.
This also makes many disciples of the Heavenly Beast Sect tirelessly pursue higher-grade spiritual rings, and integrate high-grade spiritual rings into their own spiritual rings through ring fusion techniques to improve the grade of their own spiritual rings.
After playing with it for a few breaths, Liu Qingyi followed the weapon control method taught by He Yuanji and drove the spiritual energy in his body to control the gray spiritual ring.
I saw the spiritual energy surge on the gray spiritual ring, and it flew into the air with a shock. Under his guidance, it kept flying up and down and hitting.
"This spirit ring manipulation technique is quite simple."
Liu Qingyi kept turning her wrist, and the spirit ring hovered in the air. It enlarged to the size of a bucket, and then shrank to the thickness of a wrist.
"This is a bit like the diamond circle used by Na Zha!" He thought to himself while comparing the ring control technique with the sword control technique.
Compared with the sword control technique he had learned before, this spirit ring control method has a single attack method, which is just a few simple traps and smashes, and the attack power is a bit weak, but it is more in line with the spirit ring. A trait that focuses on change, blocking and defense.
Liu Qingyi thought to himself: "This may be because he has not yet learned the corresponding ring technique, so his attack method is single." He couldn't help but feel a great desire for the so-called meritorious service in his heart.
He made some calculations and found out that no matter those high-level spiritual rings and ring-melting techniques, or all kinds of magical techniques including the high-level spiritual techniques used to defeat enemies with the imperial spirit rings, they had to be exchanged for merit at the Immortal Magic Pavilion. The ten merit points a deacon earns every month is probably just a drop in the bucket, and it will take a long time to wait.
According to Xu Xiangying, there seem to be two ways to obtain meritorious deeds: promotion to the realm and participation in the sect competition. However, in order to advance to the realm of the spiritual refinement stage, you must at least advance to the later stage of the spiritual refinement to gain recognition and rewards from the sect. After all, there are too many disciples in the sect who are stuck in the early and middle stages of spiritual cultivation.
As for participating in the sect competition to obtain meritorious deeds, the conditions are even more stringent. Only those at the top are eligible to receive rewards. I am just a new gray-clothed disciple, so why should I compete with those who are powerful in both realm and magic? He competes with his old disciples who are higher than him.
"Are we really going to take on that so-called sect mission?" Liu Qingyi thought to herself.
After a while, he put the spirit ring back into his palm, remembered the spirit control technique, and shook his head helplessly.
According to Elder He Yuanji, this spirit-taming technique places equal emphasis on spiritual-taming and spiritual-nurturing. Ling-taming is the intuitive manifestation of spiritual-nurturing, while spiritual nourishment is the foundation of spiritual-taming. In the initial stage of capturing the Immortal Beast, raising spirits is more important than controlling spirits. This is also the consensus passed down from word to mouth among the disciples who practice Spirit Controlling Technique in the sect. Just think about it, no matter how exquisite the art of controlling spirits is, the immortal beasts you control will not be able to defeat the immortal beasts of a higher realm.
If you want to start raising spirits, the first step is to capture a monster beast in its infancy, imprint its soul into a spirit ring, and then help it practice the spirit techniques belonging to fairy beasts.
However, this first step often causes most of the disciples in the sect to struggle.
It is extremely difficult to encounter monsters in their infancy. Even if they are encountered, they may not be able to successfully capture and imprint their souls, let alone those strange beasts that are even more difficult to capture and imprint their souls.
Generally speaking, the higher the level of the fairy beast, the higher the realm it can reach in the later stages of cultivation, but at the same time, the difficulty of imprinting its soul also increases.
In reality, the so-called holy beasts have long since disappeared. In the longer history of the Heavenly Beast Sect, the holy beasts are only a flash in the pan that exist in legends.
According to Xu Xiangying, the seventh-generation sect leader of the Heavenly Beast Sect once owned a holy beast. Later, due to the sect leader's own cultivation, he stopped at the realm of refining gods, so the holy beast also stayed in the realm of returning to the void and never made any progress. As soon as the sect leader Shou Yuan arrived, the man and the beast both sat down and transformed.
Such a result also leads to two major constraints inherent in practicing Xu Tian Yuling Jue. One is that the realm of the immortal beast is controlled by the realm of the spirit ring owner. Generally speaking, when they are in the same realm, fairy beasts often practice very quickly and can advance to the middle and late stages of small realms faster than monks, but they can never surpass the master of the spiritual ring to a large realm. The second is that the life and soul of the spirit ring owner and the fairy beast are connected. When the fairy beast dies, the spirit ring owner will be severely weakened, and even his realm will slip; when the spirit ring owner dies, the fairy beast will be in disarray and die.
Because everyone's soul power is limited, each disciple can only imprint one immortal beast soul in his lifetime. Imprinting the souls of two immortal beasts or multiple immortal beasts at the same time, and summoning a large number of immortal beasts to help during battle, is a wonderful thing to think about, but it basically does not appear in reality.
This kind of training model, in which humans and immortal beasts connect their souls and guide and assist the immortal beasts in practicing spiritual techniques, is not only a severe test of the monks' soul power, but also places a great burden on the monks themselves.
Although the Heavenly Beast Sect's unique beast spirit rings and spirit control techniques can greatly reduce this consumption, they can only bear the soul link of one immortal beast imprinted at most, so as not to affect the monk's cultivation speed too much.
Even so, the cultivation speed of the disciples of the Heavenly Beast Sect is still ranked last in the Southern Realm, and there are only a few disciples in each realm. It can be said that the Beast Spirit Ring and Xu Tian Yuling Jue are not only the weapons that make the Heavenly Beast Sect famous, but also become the shackles that restrict the advancement of the disciples of the Heavenly Beast Sect.
Therefore, every disciple of the Heavenly Beast Sect cherishes this one and only opportunity to capture a fairy beast. They would rather wait for the opportunity to meet their favorite monster beast in its infancy than hastily capture a spirit beast cub to make up for the loss.
Liu Qingyi laughed in her heart. The disciples of the Heavenly Beast Sect choose fairy beasts, which is similar to modern blind dates. They all want to choose a better one, thus creating a large number of leftover men and women in society. I think Xu Xiangying and others may also have this mentality, which is why they have not branded the immortal beast for a long time.
This kind of disciples who have spiritual rings but no immortal beasts is already an extremely common phenomenon among the disciples of the Heavenly Beast Sect’s Spirit Realm.
Those disciples who capture the cubs of strange beasts are undoubtedly the favored children of God, and they have also become the envy and pursuit of the disciples. Disciples who capture the cubs of ordinary monster beasts will also become the focus of the sect's training, and their combat power will increase exponentially compared to those of disciples who do not have imprinted fairy beasts.
Liu Qingyi thought about the various rumors about the Xu Tian Yu Ling Jue and sighed inwardly: "They still choose over and over again. I work in the Heavenly Beast Hall all day long, and I can't come into contact with those so-called monsters and strange beasts. But I didn’t even have a chance to choose.”
