Koizumi Cave Mansion.
After Zhou Yi came back, he immediately checked the jade slips of the exercises.
"The Alchemy Sect is indeed the overlord of Yunzhou. There are more than 10,000 catalogs that ordinary disciples can redeem."
After a cursory glance at the catalog of the jade slips, I found that there were not only cultivation techniques, but also ancient techniques, the Four Arts of Cultivation, and secret arts. It can be said that as long as the merits are sufficient, ordinary disciples can learn them for a lifetime.
"It's just the price of merit..."
Zhouyi looked at the back of the catalog and saw that there were tens of thousands of values at every turn, but the guard only had 80 points of merit in one year of thinking over the cliff.
"If there is no external affairs to eliminate demons, it is okay to guard Siguo Cliff for a thousand years. However, it is not worth taking risks for merit."
The Alchemy Sect must have other ways to obtain meritorious service, otherwise relying only on errands and slaying demons would delay practice too much and be detrimental to the sect in the long run.
Zhou Yi arrived here for the first time and planned to observe the situation first and then make plans after getting familiar with the sect.
“Select the redemption target first.”
Zhou Yi thought for a moment, and still filtered according to the conditions. The first one was that he had practiced for more than a hundred years, and he immediately eliminated 90% of the list.
After checking them one by one, I quickly selected the redemption target, and the top one was a spiritual refining technique.
"The nine-turn spiritual refining technique, five thousand meritorious deeds, is relatively cheap. Every time you complete one turn, you can condense 10% of the quality of mana and increase the power of your spells. After nine turns, your mana is almost solidified and your spell-casting power is doubled!"
"At the same time, completing one level will increase the probability of forming a pill by one hundred and one, and nine levels can increase it by 10%."
"This secret technique is like a passive state. After it is completed, the power of escape spells, thunder spells and other spells will increase significantly."
Zhou Yi nodded with satisfaction. Apart from the long training time, it was almost a perfect secret technique.
According to the description in the catalog, this method has nothing to do with spiritual talent. It is a matter of hard work accumulated over time, and it takes about fifty or sixty years to complete.
There are many disciples of the Alchemy Sect who redeem this method, but few have practiced it to the ninth level, and most of them have only completed one or two levels to enhance their magic power, so the exchange price is relatively low.
"Another skill that has been practiced for a long time, the fragment of the ancient skill True Dragon's Nine Transformations!"
"There are two secret techniques in the fragment. They are the escape technique that is cultivated with the blood of the eagle fairy, and the killing technique that is cultivated with the blood of the tiger fairy. Once completed, it can transform into the form of an eagle or a tiger."
Zhou Yi looked at the introduction of this technique, and his eyes flashed. This method seems to be the follow-up technique of the Divine Ox Transformation, or it can be said that the nine transformations of the True Dragon are indistinguishable.
"The Nine Transformations of the True Dragon, named after this, should also include deer, rabbit, snake and other transformations?"
The Divine Ox Transformation is currently Zhou Yi's strongest killing method. It is biased towards physical cultivation, and both attack and defense are greatly improved. Therefore, the Eagle Transformation and Tiger Transformation must not be missed.
"The price...30,000 merit!"
"At the time, I only thought that Senior Brother Li was deceiving people, but now it seems that he is actually giving away opportunities in batches!"
Zhou Yi carefully thought about it and found that the high price was probably due to the ancient and true dragon characters. In fact, it was difficult for ordinary monks to cultivate it, even for the foundation master.
Purchasing a large amount of eagle and tiger monster beast blood essence, not to mention spending a large amount of spiritual stones, is itself a very time-consuming and cumbersome matter.
Raising monsters is even less reliable. After extracting blood essence, it will take a long time to recover. Who would be willing to feed a hundred-year-old elixir to cows?
"This method is suitable for me to practice."
"The Nine Transformation Soul Refining Technique is the method, and the Nine Transformations of the True Dragon is still lacking a secret technique for cultivating the soul."
After Zhou Yi broke through the foundation building, the effectiveness of the spiritual cultivation technique was minimal. It may also be that he has reached the peak of the technique after practicing for two hundred years.
After careful comparison, I picked out a spell called Soul Concentration Technique, which is similar to the advanced version of the Soul-Calming Technique. There are no special spells after completion, but it is easy to get started and cheap.
"Slowness means stability and honesty. After hundreds of years of practice, the Concentration Technique is far better than those quick and easy methods of refining the spirit."
Zhou Yi then changed the conditions to query the catalog and screen out magical powers and secret techniques that consume life span.
Immortals are precious, and the spells that consume life span are mostly from heretics, which are more powerful and have strange effects.
"There are only a few spells. It seems that even evil sects cherish longevity and will not create such spells unless they have no choice."
Zhou Yi checked them one by one, eliminating those that hurt the foundation, those that sacrificed living beings, and those that required special spiritual objects. After careful selection, only one technique caught his eye.
Burning blood escape technique.
Burning qi and blood supports the escape method, instantly doubling the speed. If the essence and blood are burned, the escape speed will explode three times. The disadvantage is that while burning Qi and blood, it also consumes life span, which can shorten your life by ten to eight years at the least, or hundreds of years at the worst!
"Ten years? A hundred years?"
Zhou Yi shook his head slightly. He wondered if he would not consume a hundred years of life. After building the foundation, it doubled.
"It's a bit troublesome to burn blood essence. It takes a long time to make up for excessive consumption... There seems to be a way to solve it, such as taking the Blood Spirit Fruit!"
The spirit fruit condensed by the Blood Vine Demon is the pure essence of Qi and blood, which can quickly restore the essence and blood after consumption.
"So the Blood Spirit Fruit combined with the Burning Blood Escape Technique consumes almost nothing?"
Zhou Yi touched his palms and smiled, and immediately promoted the Burning Blood Escape Technique to the first place. Others, such as the Spirit Refining Technique and the Nine Transformations of the True Dragon, are far less life-saving than tripling the escape speed.
"It is indeed right to join the Alchemy Sect. The sect has been the dominant sect for thousands of years and has countless secret techniques. You can benefit a lot from just a few articles."
Set an exchange target and roughly calculate the required merit.
Sixty-four thousand!
Thinking of crossing the cliff is eighty years a year, which takes about eight hundred years!
"..."
Zhou Yi retracted his favorable impression of the Alchemy Cauldron Sect. These skills and secrets were like hanging carrots that could be seen but not eaten. Master Ji Zhu could not exchange for two or three of them despite his lifelong efforts for the sect.
"First stay quiet for a few years to understand the details of the sect, and then plan for meritorious deeds!"
…
The next day.
Zhou Yi used earth skills and went to Siguo Cliff.
Since the cave is on the sunny side of the mountain and Siguo Cliff is on the shady side, you need to cross the core area of the central mountain range.
The Danding Sect had already anticipated this and opened a passage between Mingzhu Peak and Jinzhong Peak. You can fly through by showing your identity token. The real person responsible for checking the token had a strange and astonished look on his face when he learned that Zhou Yi was on duty at Siguo Ya.
Zhou Yi flew through the passage and entered the shady side of the mountains.
The climate temperature suddenly dropped by dozens of degrees, frost could be faintly seen on the rocks, and the plants growing on the ground were very different from those in Shannan.
A cold wind blew by, and snowflakes began to fall from the sky.
“The gap between the south and the north is so huge, it’s like a completely different world!”
Zhou Yi guessed that it was not only related to the spiritual veins and mountains, but also to the sect's masters who had arranged formation restrictions. After all, many elixirs and exercises required a cold environment.
Following the instructions of the token, he flew away and soon found Siguo Cliff.
The cliffs are steep and jagged, with no vegetation growing on them.
Zhou Yi Dunguang flew to the middle of Siguo Cliff and saw the Batu Cave.
A harsh whistling sound came from the cave, and even though there was a formation to seal it, wisps of black wind still seeped out, leaving traces like swords scratching on the Siguo Cliff.
Mana was poured into the identity token, activating the sect's servant restriction. The aura fell on the Batu Cave formation, slowly opening a portal.
Zhou Yi entered the cave, and the door quickly closed behind him, and he found that the light inside was as bright as day.
There are stone tables and benches placed at the entrance of the cave, as well as a pair of unfinished Go games, which should have been left by the previous guard. Walking more than ten feet into the cave, there is another layer of prohibition formation, and behind it is the area where the disciples are imprisoned.
"It's empty, too. Being punished in Batu Cave is no small matter. On weekdays, few disciples come in!"
Zhou Yi cleaned the stone table and benches, put the chess pieces into the storage bag, took out a storybook and read it carefully.
Cliff, strong wind, reading Spring and Autumn Period, alone, happy and happy!
