"In recent days, there is a rumor circulating in the Haoyang Sect."
"The true disciple Li Muzi suddenly appeared at the Huanhua Festival in the Weaving Hall. With a 'Colorful Glass Sun Crown', he stood out from the crowd and stood out."
"Countless people have inquired about the origin of this "Colorful Glass Sun Crown"."
"Jiang Caiyun, the true disciple of the Weaving Hall, Fairy Jinyun, even said that she is willing to buy a seven-color glazed sun crown with one million spiritual stones. If anyone provides information, once verified, there will be a reward of 100,000 spiritual stones."
Gao Zhengzheng was sitting in the main hall of Kunwu Academy, gossiping with Xu Ke about the recent rumors.
Half a month has passed since the last time I got a dozen spiritual weapons for sale.
In the past half month, Gao Zhengzheng had been prospering, selling 3.8 million spiritual stones for 16 spiritual weapons. Coupled with the sales of various Qi refining period magic tools, he earned millions of spiritual stones.
In the business circle, Gao Zhengzheng is already a rising star.
"Junior Brother Xu, that colorful glazed sun crown..."
Gao Zhengzheng raised his eyes and looked at Xu Ke, with a bit of questioning in his eyes.
"No need to guess."
Xu Ke smiled and said, "I practiced it!"
"Then...a million spirit stones wouldn't be..."
Gao Zhengzheng's eyes were shining. Since it was made by Junior Brother Xu, he could just make another one and earn millions of spiritual stones!
"Forget it!"
Xu Ke waved his hand, "If you don't want to be hacked to death by Junior Sister Li, don't make this idea. Anyway, I won't refine the colorful glazed sun crown anymore."
"Uh...that's true!"
Gao Zhengzheng suddenly trembled when he thought of what would happen if he angered Li Muzi, but secretly sighed: "There are a million spirit stones! Millions of spirit stones are at your fingertips, but you can only give up, alas..."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense."
Xu Ke took out a receipt and handed it to Gao Zhengzheng, "I still need some materials. You can buy them for me by the way."
"no problem."
Gao Zhengzheng took the document with a smile, picked it up and took a look. Inside... there were all kinds of materials, a lot of mess.
Some are like alchemy materials, some are like weapon refining materials, and some are like spell materials. All kinds of materials are piled together, making people confused.
However, Gao Zhengzheng did not ask again. What to ask? It's enough to know that Junior Brother Xu is awesome, nothing else matters.
"These materials are all used to practice, and they are just a waste of money."
Xu Ke explained casually, "There's no need to rush to buy everything. Buy as much as you can. It's just for practice anyway."
"Okay, I get it."
Gao Zhengzheng nodded, and then changed the topic, "Junior Brother Xu, have you been in contact with Senior Brother Peng these days?"
"I contacted you some time ago, but not in the past few days."
Xu Ke was a little surprised and looked up at Gao Zhengzheng, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"That's not true."
Gao Zhengzheng shook his head, "I just want to find a relationship with Senior Brother Peng and purchase some things. I have contacted him in the past few days, but I have been unable to contact him."
"The sect will definitely need to deploy a lot of formations to open up Hengduan Mountain. He is too busy to do it. How can he have time to talk to you?"
Xu Ke smiled and said, "Stop harassing Senior Brother Peng Zhengqing. He may be so tired that his hair will fall out. If you want to buy anything, just go to Li Muzi directly."
"By the way, when you go to find Li Muzi, tell her to collect more materials for refining the weapons. Selling spiritual weapons is very profitable."
"Haha, I know! I know!"
Gao Zhengzheng smiled and nodded, then said goodbye and left.
Xu Ke returned to the cave in the mountain and began to practice.
Xu Ke has gained a lot from these days of continuous weapon refining. It's not just about making money, it's not just about improving the "proficiency" of weapon refining techniques.
Refining weapons means practicing Qi!
In the process of refining spiritual weapons, Xu Ke can have a deeper understanding of the essence of practice.
In the process of refining the magic weapon, Xu Ke can also further deepen his understanding of runes and spells, and can also study operations such as combining runes and compound spells.
The benefits brought by this are...
"Buzz..."
In the meditation room of the cave in the mountain, Xu Ke's whole body erupted with a huge wave of spiritual energy.
The Hunyuan Qi surges up, differentiates the five elements, differentiates the spiritual power of twelve attributes, and then turns into various sword energies, and manifests colorful and blurred, dream-like scenes.
Various visions flashed around Xu Ke.
Ten levels of Qi training!
This is already the level of perfect Qi training.
Theoretically speaking, by reaching the tenth level of Qi training, one is already qualified to build a foundation.
Because at the tenth level of Qi training, all the "rune ring structures" required for foundation building have been practiced.
As long as the talent is strong enough and the understanding is good enough, there is indeed a chance of successful foundation building.
However, to be on the safe side, one would usually cultivate to the twelfth level of Qi training and then start building the foundation.
This is to further deepen the understanding and mastery of the "Rune Circle Structure", further strengthen the foundation, and increase the success rate of foundation building.
Xu Ke also has no idea of building a foundation on the tenth level of Qi training.
According to Xu Ke's derivation and calculation, the eleventh and twelfth levels of Qi training still have their own significance.
In Xu Ke's view, the tenth level of Qi training is to summarize all the achievements of the previous nine levels of Qi training, master the "rune circle", which is the spiritual taboo, and lay the foundation for foundation building.
The eleventh and twelfth levels of Qi training are used to hone the spiritual restraint, making oneself and the spiritual restraint more consistent and perfect.
Perhaps... when the ancient Qi training skills were converted to the current Immortal Way practice, the initial Qi training period should only have been nine levels of Qi training, and the next three levels were all "patches" added later.
These "patches" are all further improving the foundation-building method and laying a stronger foundation.
Build the foundation, build the foundation of the avenue. Of course, the more solid the foundation, the better.
Xu Ke never thought about "skipping a grade". That was unnecessary. It would only be a matter of a month or two anyway, so there was no need to be in such a hurry.
After finishing his work, Xu Ke devoted himself to the practice of talismans.
There are 1,296 qi training talismans in the Yuan Fu Jing. Xu Ke could not use some of the qi training talismans before due to insufficient cultivation.
Now, after ten levels of qi training, the qi training is considered complete, and I can master all the spells and all the corresponding spells at the same time.
Cultivation is so simple and boring.
——
Time passes slowly in the unpretentious practice.
In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.
In this month, the development situation of Haoyang Immortal Sect has become more prosperous.
The various resources continuously produced by the Hengduan Mountains made the Haoyang Immortal Sect rich overnight, and the sect's warehouse was filled with various foundation-building and golden elixir-level cultivation resources.
In this way, the cultivation resources during the Qi training period seem not worth mentioning.
As a result, the management authority for the cultivation resources during the Qi Refining Period was lowered and distributed directly to each hall or even each workshop.
The direct change brought about by the abundance of resources is... In various cities where the sect conducts internal transactions, the price of cultivation resources during the Qi training period has generally declined.
This is very good news for the outer disciples in the Qi training period.
At Baibaozhai in Bishuitan Market Town, Liu Yongtian was filled with emotion when he received the "price reduction notice".
What made Liu Yongtian even more emotional was that Xu Ke began to preach for the second time.
Originally, Liu Yongtian only thought that Xu Ke's "preaching" was just a casual explanation of some farming techniques and basic spells, and it was just a kind of "pre-job training for new employees."
Unexpectedly...Xu Ke actually talked about Qi training.
He even used several exercises with the largest number of practitioners as examples to explain the exercises in detail step by step, correcting the mistakes of the original exercises of casual practitioners, and teaching the true path of cultivation.
Xu Ke is so proficient in Qi training!
While Liu Yongtian was filled with emotion, Xu Ke was also very happy when he saw a group of Bishuitan disciples listening to the sermon below.
Judging from the fluctuations of spiritual energy in everyone's body, almost everyone followed Xu Ke's preaching, corrected the mistakes in their original practice, and started practicing again using the method Xu Ke described.
The cultivation method Xu Ke described was naturally re-edited on the basis of the original method.
After practicing Xu Ke's re-edited exercises, you can "get into my trap".
"If you practice my method, you are my person. No one will dare to betray you unless you are cruel enough to waste all your efforts and practice again."
Xu Ke was secretly happy and continued to explain the exercises and the use of spells to everyone.
The essence of power does not come from the appointment from above, but from the awe and conviction from below.
From then on, the surname of this three-acre land in Bishuitan was Xu.
Xu Ke felt that he had made a lot of money, and the casual disciples who listened to the Tao also felt that they had made a lot of money.
Happiness is all about comparison.
The life of a sect disciple today is completely different from the life of a casual cultivator in the past. It is countless times more comfortable.
Moreover, a greater sense of happiness comes from Xu Ke's "preaching".
The casual cultivators also have social circles. After a little inquiry, they found out that Bishuitan is the only place that really "preaches", and other places are just "pre-job training".
This made the Bishuitan disciples' awe of Xu Ke reach a new level.
Of course, respect comes from preaching, fear... Do you still remember the unlucky guy who was possessed by Elder Sui Xing?
Xu Ke truthfully announced the cause of this person's death.
The casual cultivators...whether they believe it or not, they all understand deeply that Xu Ke can really kill people, and even the person possessed by the golden elixir and spiritual thoughts was killed.
For Xu Ke, these are "trivial matters."
After taking care of these trivial matters, the remaining time will be devoted to the "foundation building" matter.
In the past month, Xu Ke's "Hunyuan Zhenjue" has reached the twelfth level of Qi training, and is only one step away from foundation building.
The foundation is about to be built, and before the foundation is built, complete preparations must be made.
Normal foundation building generally requires two aspects of preparation. One is the Foundation Building Pill, and the other is a safe and spiritually powerful practice cave.
Xu Ke has gained a hundredfold from the Foundation Establishment Pill, but he is not expected to use it very much.
However, in order to ensure that nothing unexpected happened, Xu Ke still asked Gao Zhengzheng to buy three Foundation Establishment Pills.
With Xu Ke's current financial resources, the money to buy the Foundation Establishment Pill is already a drop in the bucket. Besides, Foundation Establishment Pills are also hard currency, so even if they are not used, they are not afraid of depreciation.
As for the cultivation cave...the cave in the mountain has already been prepared.
However, this is still not safe enough.
The Five Elements Array is good at driving the five elements of spiritual power. In terms of other attributes of spiritual power, apart from the spiritual siphon effect brought about by the operation of the formation, which can absorb the spiritual power of other attributes, it has no other functions.
Therefore, a "Hunyuan Qi Formation" must be arranged.
Hunyuan Qi Formation, this formation does not exist.
At least within Xu Ke's reach, there was no Hunyuan Qi Formation.
However, this is not a problem.
Just like how he derived the purification formation based on the "Corruption Technique", Xu Ke can completely deduce a formation by referring to the "Hunyuan Yiqi True Talismans", also known as the "Rune Circle".
What's more, the process of deducing the formation, and even the process of arranging the Hunyuan Qi formation, is a further practical verification and understanding of the foundation-building method!
So Xu Ke focused all his attention on deducing the Hunyuan Qi Formation.
This deduction process is not too difficult.
Xu Ke has deduced and calculated the foundation building method of "Hunyuan Zhenjue" many times, and also has experience in integrating the Wanxiang Guiyuan Sword Jue and Mirage Water Moon Jue.
On this basis, the deduction of the Hunyuan Qi Formation became very smooth.
After spending a day, Xu Ke successfully performed the "Hunyuan Yiqi Formation".
However, limited to his own level of cultivation, Xu Ke could only deduce this formation to the foundation building level, and it was only equivalent to the first level of foundation building.
This is because Xu Ke's "Hunyuan True Jue" has only deduced the first "Spiritual Taboo" and only one "Hunyuan Yiqi True Talismans".
The following nine levels of foundation building and nine "Hunyuan Yiqi True Talismans" need to be composed and combined in a deeper manner.
Of course, this foundation-building level "Hunyuan Qi Formation" is enough for Xu Ke to assist in foundation-building.
After Xu Ke's deduction, the Hunyuan Yiqi formation needs to have 1,296 formation nodes to achieve the functions of "one qi deriving ten thousand methods" and "all things returning to one yuan".
More than a thousand array nodes require more than a thousand array base instruments.
Although you can buy a foundation-level blank rune stick, Xu Ke can only engrave the runes himself.
The Hunyuan Qi Grand Formation was deduced by Xu Ke himself. It is not universal at all. Of course, there is no magic weapon for arranging the Hunyuan Qi Grand Formation outside.
Then you can only take it easy!
One thousand two hundred and ninety-six foundation-level blank formation rune sticks are not easy to obtain through high-level channels.
Xu Ke handed over this "important task" to Li Muzi.
Ever since the "Colorful Glaze Sun Crown" became popular, Li Muzi often went to the Weaving Hall to show off when he was at his peak, so much so that the Huanhua Club in the Weaving Hall was afraid to hold, and was postponed twice in a row.
"Hahahaha! None of you can fight!"
After the call was answered, Li Muzi's loud and wanton laughter could still be heard.
As for the opposite side, there were also a lot of incomprehensible words such as "the plain is flat", "the waves are calm", "it's hard to tell the front and back".
"Huh? The communication talisman was connected automatically...ah? Senior brother?"
"oops!"
Upon discovering that the summons had been connected, Li Muzi screamed, quickly cut off the spiritual power of the summons talisman, turned around and ran away, disappearing in a flash.
