Ningfang, ordinary level area, library.
Now Gu Dan has a general understanding of Ningfang.
This place where people practice immortality is not as aloof from the world as most people imagine. On the contrary, its interior is so distinct that it is so real that it makes people helpless.
Those who cannot produce unique magical skills and rare treasures can only wander around in ordinary areas. There is almost no direct way to be promoted, unless they are like old farmers and become a spiritual planter, growing spiritual rice, spiritual bamboos and other things. , slowly accumulate a sum of savings, and buy a Huang-level cave, then you can truly take root in Ningfang.
But even for monks, even that would take decades - because it was not just one person working hard, but competing with a real large army.
Those immortal seedlings who join Ningfang and are not masters, except those with high-grade spiritual roots, are all counted. The fate of Ling Zhifu is doomed. The contract has been signed. Do you want to go back on it?
Are you not proficient in the magic of being a law enforcement hall?
It is not as simple as one thinks to be able to contribute rare items and immortal magic.
I'm afraid not many people can take this "shortcut".
It would have been fine when the Immortal Workshop was first opened, but now it is already the seventy-ninth year of the Immortal. Over the years, countless masters have defected. Apart from the real owner of the Immortal Workshop, who knows how many different treasures it has brought. With immortal magic?
What's more, Gu Dan is not the first person from Xia Dynasty to come here.
Qingpingzi and others have also read the classics related to immortality that he knows. With Qingpingzi's temperament, if this shortcut can be taken, I am afraid he will have left long ago and it will not be Gu Dan's turn. Selling immortal knowledge.
"Although you are in the Immortal Garden, why do you feel that you are not yet at ease in the mortal world?"
Walking on the road, Gu Dan frowned slightly.
At least in the secular world, he has almost never worried about money and other things, and has always followed the principle of having enough.
But now it's no longer a question of whether it's enough or not, but rather, if you don't have spiritual stones, you will be inferior to others.
Here, the spirit stone has become one of the true symbols of status and strength. It has a great influence and is even better than the gold and silver treasures in the world!
Even though he had Qing Mu Ye secretly taking action and possessing spiritual roots of a different species, he could only compete with people living in earth-level caves. It was really unreasonable.
Because of the relationship between resources, there is such a big gap in qualifications. This is still an immature way of immortality!
If he hadn't lived forever, I'm afraid Gu Dan's mood would be completely different from what it is now.
While thinking about it, Gu Dan had already arrived at the library.
The crowd here is sparse, there are almost no people.
Yes, after all, it is only a mortal level area, and Ningfang is strictly forbidden to fight within it.
No matter who strikes first, no matter who has a big grudge, anyone who dares to fight inside Immortal Square will be severely punished!
Of course, if you really want to learn immortal skills, it's not impossible. There are various martial arts stages in Ningfang. You only need to pay some spiritual sand. As long as no one is killed, you can do whatever you want.
But the monks in the mortal level area are people who are running for their 'livelihood' and future. How can they have that kind of skill?
Anyone who is truly capable and ambitious will probably find a way to get in. At least they have to establish a foothold in the yellow-level area first!
Reading is only interesting to those who have leisure time.
When Gu Dan walked in, a white-robed monk standing in front of the door reminded: "The books on the first floor can be read at will, but they are not allowed to be taken out. To enter the second floor, you have to pay a spirit sand. If there is anything you like, Immortals and classics can be purchased according to the set price.”
Gu Dan just nodded casually and stepped into it.
As soon as you enter the door, you see four big characters hanging on the bookshelf.
Cultivation of all kinds of immortality!
Under the Cultivation of Immortality and Hundred Arts, there are sparse books.
The four major categories of alchemy, formations, talismans, and weapon refining each occupy a large area. As for the other skills, they are simply thrown into the corner. Even added together, there is no one of these four categories. It takes up so much space that not even the classics can compare.
Nowadays, the immortal way is slowly reviving, this is true.
But the real knowledge about immortality lies almost entirely in 'archaeology'.
They were collected from classics collected in various countries, and then tested one by one to see which one could be used and which one was true.
As for actually creating your own immortal magic and secret technique, I'm sorry, the immortality here is only seventy-nine years old, where is the effort and leisure?
Use whatever you find!
As a matter of course, Gu Dan came to the Alchemy area first, took out a book "Basics of Alchemy" and started reading.
After a while, Gu Dan's expression became a little strange.
He quickly turned to the last page of "Basics of Alchemy" and saw a line of large characters.
[The lack of success in alchemy is not caused by the alchemy; it is actually because a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice! If any Taoist friends are interested in Alchemy, they should join Lingzhen Hall, study spiritual plants with us, and understand the pharmacology, so that they can regain the glory of Alchemy! 】
This book, rather than so much knowledge about alchemy, might as well be said to be a recruitment brochure for Lingzhen Hall.
It briefly introduced some of the mysteries of alchemy, and then boasted about the effects of various high-end elixirs. Then the topic changed and revealed the current predicament of Ningfang. Bala, bala, it has nothing to do with alchemy.
Among the four most famous arts of cultivating immortals, only Alchemy has never been revealed to the world.
Ordinary medicinal materials, no matter how old they are, are not spiritual plants.
What is missing in the Immortal Workshop now is not the elixir at all, but the elixirs written in the elixir that make people want to burst into tears.
The monks can still practice independently, but if the elixir can be practiced independently, they may not be able to see it until the year of the monkey, the horse and the moon.
If we really wait for the elixir to be born on its own to the extent that it can reproduce the way of elixir, then this generation may not be able to take a single elixir in their lifetime.
Lingzhentang is the organization within Ningfang that is responsible for researching how to cultivate various elixirs. Of course, they are also responsible for the cultivation of spiritual rice, spiritual bamboo and other items most of the time.
Even Gu Dan just shook his head.
Aoki liquid is very powerful in inducing birth, but it has to be something available, it cannot be created out of thin air.
Just one prescription and one missing medicinal material will make a big difference in the effectiveness of the medicine.
Not to mention Alchemy?
Gu Dan wandered around the books in front of Dan Dao for a while, and had to move to other areas.
The idea is wonderful, but the conditions have not been met. This is the difference between reality and ideals.
He came to the formation area.
I picked up "Subdivision of Formation" and started reading it.
It is also a major category among the four arts of cultivating immortals, and the formation method must be much more "people-friendly".
Although a truly powerful formation requires the assistance of various formation eyes and spiritual materials, it doesn't mean it won't work without it!
It's just that the effectiveness is so weak that it can still be used.
This classic describes the uses and divisions of various formations in quite detail. As for how to actually set up the formation?
Please move to the formation hall!
After reading the four arts of cultivating immortality one by one, I can really only get a rough understanding of how to practice?
Either go to the corresponding hall in Ningfang and find a way to join them, or go upstairs and buy it yourself.
You have to pay for immortal knowledge!
As for the area of cultivating immortals and hundreds of arts, Gu Dan couldn't help but rub his brow.
It's so diverse, including music, puppets, ore hunting. It's a mess, and it's not systematic at all. Just looking at it makes one's scalp numb.
Even in the real prosperous age of immortality, few people practice these hundreds of arts, and they are not worthy to be compared with the famous four arts. In today's era, they can only be thrown into obscurity in the corners of the world, and are not visible to the world.
"Today's Ningfang is almost a monopoly."
Gu Dan frowned slightly.
As the saying goes, you can see the whole picture by looking at a small part.
Although Ningfang has only been around for more than 20 years, everything seems so familiar, and there have been strict restrictions on all aspects. Any monk who wants to find shortcuts can find traces of Ningfang's interior everywhere.
Is there a way?
have!
Let’s join Ningfang first.
If you really don’t want to join, just buy the spiritual stones yourself. If you really succeed in cultivating, you will be considered great.
Gu Dan walked out of the area where he cultivated immortality and various arts, and soon found a place truly worthy of his stay.
[Concept of Immortal Way Cultivation]
Walking to a new area, Gu Dan saw a book at a glance, which was exactly what he wanted.
"Differences in Talent, Summary of Spiritual Roots"
Reaching out to pick up the book, Gu Dan read it with relish.
This book is not from 'archaeology', but is compiled by people today. However, the information inside is based on research on the legacy of immortality, and is not just empty talk.
According to this book, for those with low-grade spiritual roots, if they want to cultivate the foundation, it will take them decades. The real difficulty is to advance to the foundation!
Without the aid of elixirs and the help of formations, if you want to rely on yourself to advance to foundation building, you may not be able to survive.
If you look at the current Immortal Workshop, you will know that the six Immortal Workshops are full of resources. All the foundation-building monks are put together, and there are only more than thirty. They are scattered, and they are really just three or two kittens.
As for those with middle-grade spiritual roots, the probability of promotion to foundation building is slightly better than that of low-grade spiritual roots, but not much better.
But when it comes to high-grade spiritual roots, there is a big gap!
With high-grade spiritual roots, if you continue to practice without any accident, you will have a 30% chance of being promoted to Foundation Establishment even without the help of other people. If you add the legendary Foundation Establishment Pill and the promotion of Spiritual Array Guardian, you will have almost an 80% or 90% chance of promotion. This is extremely remarkable!
As for the Heavenly Spiritual Root, it is even more outstanding. Not to mention the cultivation speed is four times that of the lower-grade Spiritual Root. Promotion to Foundation Establishment is also a sure thing, and you will be loved by heaven and earth!
For ordinary monks, they may have to face the hurdle of life and death, but for Tianlinggen monks, it is just a side dish, definitely not something in the pond!
It's just that it's been seventy-nine years since Duxianlin came to the city, and we have never heard of a monk who was found to have the Heavenly Spiritual Root. Of course, it may have been directly hidden by the Immortal Workshop and not known to outsiders.
At the end, this book even mentions the supernatural roots.
[Those with strange spiritual roots are born and nourished by the earth, loved by all things, born with supernatural powers, not ordinary things, but treasures of heaven and earth, rare to see for thousands of years.
According to the records in the classics, it is unimaginable to break through the situation like hemp, and it is even helped by its own magical power. If he appears in this world, he will definitely lead to bloodshed and chaos in the immortal world! 】
With just these two sentences, it came to an abrupt end.
Gu Dan glanced at the author of this book, Liu Gong.
This shouldn't be your real name.
'Born with supernatural powers, supernatural powers help us.'
Gu Dan thought of the effectiveness of Qingmu liquid.
Then, is it Qingmuye’s own magical power?
It really corresponds.
It's just that the alien spiritual root will never appear in a human body. It is a treasure that can only be born if it is loved by heaven and earth.
Gu Dan searched around here again, but did not find any books related to the art of inner breath. Instead, he walked into a new place.
【Immortal Magic】
In this area, there are only a few classics, which are placed alone.
Gu Dan was quite surprised that a place as stingy as Ningfang would be so kind as to leave a few books of immortal magic?
He moved closer to take a look.
"Xiao Yun Yu Jue", "Earth Movement Technique", and "Calm Life Technique".
After all, it was a genuine immortal book, so Gu Dan naturally picked it up and looked at it carefully.
Not long after, Gu Dan's expression became a little strange again.
"Xiao Yun Yu Jue" really lives up to its name!
The clouds and rain are condensed with spiritual energy, and then fall down.
It can be called artificial rainfall.
When Gu Dan came in a flying boat, he saw the monks performing immortal magic. This was it!
As for "Earthquake Technique", the name is pretty good, but the effect of starting with it is so bad.
Have you ever seen plowing?
This thing is the version of cultivating immortals.
Only the plow was omitted.
Don’t worry about whether the effect is great or not, just say whether the ground has moved or not!
As for the "Rongshengfa", it is quite interesting.
This is the only magic that requires the assistance of external objects, such as spiritual sand, special blood essence, or secret medicine, which can be used to perform some magic.
It doesn't seem that big of a deal, but what about using the Xiao Yun Yu Jue and the Rong Sheng Technique together? !
That's artificial rainfall plus artificial nutrient solution!
This is the secret of immortality. It seems ordinary to use an ordinary magic technique alone.
But there are so many immortal methods, and different combinations can have the effect of turning decay into magic.
Gu Dan looked at all these free magic arts and figured them out.
This is not about teaching people the magic of immortality. It is clearly letting them lay a solid foundation for farming, eliminating all difficulties for them, and delivering the method directly to their hands!
No wonder Ningfang, who had been so stingy and strict before, would be so kind and actually give them the magic for free.
The co-author is asking them to farm!
You see, the four arts of cultivating immortals are so difficult and obscure. If you want to practice them, you have to take out spiritual stones, and you may not be able to master them.
And cultivating immortality and hundreds of arts is even more dreamy.
But farming is different. No matter how hard you work, you will reap the rewards. As a spiritual cultivator, the Immortal Workshop will not treat you badly. Even the Immortal Techniques are given out for free!
"It's really yours!"
Gu Dan could only sigh with emotion, but he also started reading these books on magic.
Anyway, it’s just prostitution for nothing, and if you don’t learn, you won’t learn.
Besides, these magical arts are very practical just because they are basic.
As for cultivating to the end, waving a hand and spreading black clouds in the sky for hundreds of millions of miles, or stamping one's feet and all the mountains and rivers for hundreds of miles collapsing, don't expect too much.
If you really want to be able to practice casually to that level, why would Xianfang be so stupid as to put these things here?
I don’t even dare to paint like that.
More than ten days passed by in a flash.
Gu Dan was almost immersed in the library.
Cultivation is by no means a day's work, but he urgently needs to supplement his knowledge about the immortal way.
As the saying goes, sharpening your sword will make you chop wood. The more you know, the farther you can see. He never settles for a moment.
"Hurry up, hurry up, Hall Master Huang Chao is coming soon. It's a foundation-building overhaul. If you don't get a good position, you little guys won't be able to see it!"
Just as Gu Dan was replenishing himself hungrily, he suddenly heard some noise coming from outside.
"Master Huang Chao?"
Gu Dan remembered.
Qian Qiancheng mentioned to him that Huang Chao seemed to be preaching.
Putting down the immortal books in his hands for the time being, Gu Dan also walked out together.
Gu Dan was still a little curious about this 'old friend' whom he had never met before but had a deep impression on him.
Huang Chao and Mo Qiu had worked together for many years. Huang Chao also said that if he founded a country, he would ask Mo Qiu to be the national teacher and the Mo family to be the national religion.
But Mo Qiu ignored him at all.
But when they were in Yuzhou and Yangzhou, the Mo family did fight side by side with Huang Tianjun.
Even if one wanted to dominate the world and the other wanted to protect the common people, they got together by chance for different reasons.
After the Yuan River burst its embankment, Huang Tian's army was in disarray, and Huang Chao disappeared without a trace. He actually ran to the Buzhou Mountains and became a foundation-building monk!
The "lost dog" at the beginning turned out to be the best one in Xia Dynasty that Gu Dan knew now.
The word destiny is really wonderful.
Following the large army, Gu Dan soon came to a large open space.
There was almost a sea of people there, and judging by their blood energy, at least half of the people were Grandmasters, and they were standing extremely close to the front.
As for the center of the open space, there is a arena with a spiritual light shining on it.
The grandmasters near the arena were all gearing up and seemed to be looking forward to it eagerly.
As for those immortal seedlings who had just joined, they were naturally no match for the Grandmaster when it came to grabbing positions. They could only stay behind and wait eagerly.
Gu Dan immediately found Qian Qiancheng, who was leading the group of immortal seedlings and shouting something loudly behind him. He walked over and asked, "Elder Qian."
"Fellow Daoist Kong, you are here."
Qian Qiancheng was not surprised when he saw Gu Dan. He just smiled and said: "You can see the style of the foundation-building monk later, so don't be impatient."
Seeing his admiring look, Gu Dan asked: "I saw those grandmasters gathered in front of the stage with high fighting spirit. Why is this?"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you this."
Qian Qiancheng said: "The appearance of Hall Master Huang Chao is too pale when he just gives a sermon. Therefore, every time he gives a sermon, he will invite Qi Practitioners or Grandmasters to compete to show off the strength of the Foundation Establishment Monks.
As for those qi-training monks and masters, although they had no chance of winning, Hall Master Huang Chao was very generous. Anyone who dared to take the stage would be rewarded with spiritual stones as long as they could withstand one move, which naturally attracted everyone to flock to him. "
"Is there a spirit stone?"
Gu Dan's eyes lit up.
"Friend Kong Dao"
Qian Qiancheng said helplessly: "Foundation-building monks are not as simple as you think. Ordinary masters are not their enemies at all, unless they burn flesh and blood, but that is not worth the loss, so there will be spiritual stones to compensate, and the cost will be More than gained.
Those grandmasters who dare to take the stage are all veterans who have practiced immortality for ten or twenty years, or even several decades. Only with the help of a master and the help of immortal skills can they dare to go and compete.
Although this is a good opportunity to earn spiritual stones, if you are not strong enough, you will be embarrassed in public. If you are seriously injured, it will take many years for the master to recover!
I advise fellow Taoists not to aim too high, but to be down-to-earth is the shortest way. What's wrong with being a spiritual husband? I have more than a thousand Lingzhi husbands in Lingzhentang. Aren’t they living a pretty good life? If fellow Taoists are interested, you might as well be a spiritual cultivator for a few years and then look for other options! "
"I remember what Elder Qian said."
Gu Dan nodded with a smile, already making a decision in his heart.
If he was just a grandmaster, it would be absolutely impossible for him to take a step forward.
But he is the great master!
Even if Huang Chao really shamelessly uses his trump card, he has no fear. What does Kong Zhai have to do with Gu Dan?
Just change your vest and keep coming.
If you follow the rules, that would be even better. You can hold on for a few moves, pretend to be defeated, and earn a fortune in spiritual stones!
Just because he conserves his energy and avoids causing trouble does not mean that he has to remain unknown and stay far away from everything.
Wearing a vest, who knows who?
He had also tested the strength of the foundation-building monks in Xia Chao, and he thought that even the few people in Ningfang could not stop him, so he would be safe and worry-free.
While the golden elixir has not yet appeared in the Immortal Workshop, the Grand Master must also find a way to continue to improve. He cannot just rely on years of hard work.
More and more people gathered, and it was a dense crowd.
It is no exaggeration to say that if you throw a brick in the crowd, you may hit several masters.
But today's protagonists are not them at all.
While waiting silently, suddenly, a strong wind blew.
People with sharp eyes have discovered that there is a small dot in the sky, strolling towards it.
"Palace Master Huang, Hall Master Huang is here!"
In the sky above Xianfang, a person came out of thin air to control the void, strolling leisurely in the courtyard, free and easy.
The soles of his feet fell into the air, but it was as if something was supporting him out of thin air. He was dressed in a black robe that was fluttering endlessly in the strong wind, and he looked extremely mighty.
Step by step, he slowly walked towards this place from the sky. The speed seemed slow, but before he knew it, he had reached the top of the ring.
On that rather domineering face is a pair of frightening tiger eyes!
Huang Chao said nothing, only scanning with his eyes.
The majestic foundation-building aura is unmistakable, and the pressure spreads.
The restless crowd below slowly became quiet, and finally fell into silence.
One person suppressed the more than a thousand monks below who were looking forward to it. They dared not speak and could only look up.
Gu Dan finally met Huang Chao.
It's really Otsuki's person - even though we haven't actually met him before, we have always seen his portrait.
This old acquaintance who has never met before is doing really well now!
"Thanks to you all for your honor, today I, Huang Chao, will preach here."
Huang Chao said he was being humble, but his thunderous voice spread in all directions, and coupled with the foundation-building coercion, no one really thought he could be that humble.
The master of the Law Enforcement Hall really has a certain demeanor that dominates the monks.
“If you want to preach, it is empty talk.
Can someone come on stage and try a few tricks to see the real deal?
Anyone who can withstand my attack will be rewarded with three spiritual stones. Those who withstand three strikes will be rewarded with fifty spiritual stones. Those who can sustain ten moves will be rewarded with a yellow-level cave. "
Huang Chao looked around, his eyes shining brightly.
