A lot of thoughts flashed through Han Yuan's mind, and then he slowly said: "Peak Master, my cultivation level was detected by the sect's magic weapon, so there should be no mistakes, but I am indeed a little confused about my cultivation level. , I have never received any guidance before, and my disciple knows only a little about cultivation. Am I still at the third level of Qi Refining?"
The corner of Du Yuanhe's mouth curled up. This kid was ignorant of the situation and was also cunning.
He said calmly: "The magic weapon is only judged according to the measurement of normal people, but in this world, there are always some special people who break the rules, but they rarely appear in monks with medium-grade spiritual roots. Your Dantian is larger than that of ordinary people. Doubling the amount is nothing more than having a special physique or eating some heavenly and earthly treasures."
Han Yuan said: "This disciple has never eaten any treasures from heaven and earth, and he has never eaten strange things. Does it mean that this disciple has a special physique?"
"Maybe, but even if you have a special physique, you can practice so fast, but it is a bit too fast. Do you have any other secrets? Can you share them with me?" Du Yuanhe said with a half-smile.
Han Yuan looked at the old man's back and cursed in his heart. Was this old guy trying to trick him?
He hesitated and said: "Well, this disciple was lucky enough to comprehend the small level of "Ancient Wood Spirit-nurturing Technique", so the speed of practice is much faster."
"Oh I got it!"
The corner of Du Yuanhe's mouth curled up, but he did not continue to ask. He had clearly detected that Han Yuan's technique had reached the level of Dacheng. It was ten times more difficult to break through to Dacheng than to break through to Xiaocheng. This guy was dishonest. !
However, he also understood that being clumsy was a quality that a monk should possess.
Feeling that he had discovered Han Yuan's secret, he said calmly: "I am Du Yuanhe, the current master of Lingwen Peak. Your qualifications are good and your understanding is acceptable. Are you willing to accept me as your teacher?"
Han Yuan opened his mouth, feeling that the flying sword was gradually rising in height, and glanced at the shrinking trees below. The corners of his mouth twitched a few times and said: "Disciple... is willing! Han Yuan pays homage to the master!"
"Hahaha! Yes, yes! You are the seventh disciple accepted by me. Four of the first six disciples have already died. Your second senior brother has broken through the foundation and is stationed in a mine. Your fourth senior sister has already refined Qi. On the ninth floor, they are still practicing outside, and I will introduce you to them when they come back!"
Du Yuanhe laughed loudly. As he spoke, the height of the flying sword naturally dropped, and the speed slowed down a bit.
These little actions fell into Han Yuan's eyes, and he was unable to complain. What made him even more numb was that four of the senior brothers and sisters in front of him had already done it!
This, this, this, suddenly my feet feel a little numb!
call! call! call!
The mountain wind howled by, and within a short time, the two of them arrived at the top of a large mountain peak.
The scenery at the top of Lingwen Peak is extremely beautiful, with pavilions, bridges, flowing water, spiritual trees, flowers and birds, and mist-shrouded clouds.
It feels like stepping into the fairyland.
When the flying sword fell, many disciples who were practicing swordsmanship in the pavilion stopped and saluted respectfully:
"Meet the Peak Master!"
"Keep practicing!"
Du Yuanhe waved his hand and led Han Yuan forward.
Han Yuan followed suit.
Many inner disciples looked curiously at Han Yuan who was following Du Yuanhe, and from time to time there were whispers.
"Who is this?"
"Today seems to be the day for the outer sect disciples to test their cultivation. If everything goes as expected, then this disciple should be among the top ten in the outer sect and has qualified as an inner sect disciple in advance!"
"I see. It seems that we will have a talented junior brother in Lingwen Summit in the future."
"Hurry up and practice. Don't wait for a few years before being surpassed by others. If you can rank in the top ten, you will definitely be able to build a foundation if you don't die."
Han Yuan had a feeling like a light on his back. All the inner disciples were monks at the seventh level of Qi refining and above. They were dozens of times stronger than him. The eyes of those people were like bayonets, which made his skin... It hurts.
He was like a kitten that suddenly broke into a group of dozens of tigers.
It wasn't until he entered a courtyard that the noise outside disappeared in an instant, and Han Yuan let out a sigh of relief.
"After listening to their discussions, do you think you will be able to break through to the late stage of Qi refining soon?"
Du Yuanhe stopped under a tree and asked with his hands behind his back.
Han Yuan shook his head and said: "It will definitely take a lot of time!"
"You may not understand the difficulties of cultivation. As your master, the first lesson I will teach you is the difficulty of the immortal way!"
Han Yuan looked solemn and listened carefully.
"Let's talk about the cultivation test for outer disciples first. Do you know why there will be rewards if you can advance to the third level of Qi Refining in two years?"
"It should be to encourage disciples to practice!"
Du Yuanhe shook his head: "It's because of these disciples that we can hope to build the foundation! It takes two years to advance to the third level of Qi Refining, and it also takes at least two years to reach the fourth level of Qi Refining, four years to the fifth level, and six The eighth level, the seventh level is sixteen years, the eighth level is thirty-two years, the ninth level is sixty-four years, and the ninth level is perfect, one hundred and twenty-eight years! The total is 256 years!"
Han Yuan was stunned for a moment: "It shouldn't take so long, right? As your level improves, your cultivation speed will speed up!"
"The speed of cultivation will indeed speed up, but as the quality of spiritual power increases, the required spiritual power will also increase. With the bottleneck in the middle, the overall time will only be much longer, and the life span of a Qi Refining monk is only 120 years. And generally speaking, after the age of sixty, the success rate of foundation building drops sharply, so it is best to build the foundation before the age of sixty!"
Han Yuan thought for a while and said, "Can't the pill speed up the speed?"
"Yes, elixirs can indeed speed up the speed, but there are three problems with elixirs. The first is erysipelas, which you should be aware of. The second is that it affects the quality of spiritual power and reduces the chance of foundation building. It requires continuous purification of spiritual power. The third is the most troublesome , pills are drug-resistant. If you swallow too much, the effect will eventually be 10%, and pills consume a lot of resources! In addition, haven’t you taken pills in the past two years? It’s already taken into account!”
Han Yuan nodded, and then felt something was wrong. Drug resistance? What's this? Han Yuan suddenly hesitated, "Master, when will drug resistance appear?"
Du Yuanhe asked doubtfully: "Don't you feel it? You have swallowed a bottle of Spirit Gathering Pill. If you have paid attention, the effect of the last pill should be only about 70-80% of the first one!"
Han Yuan's pupils shrank. He recalled the situation when he swallowed the pill before, and his heart couldn't help but beat faster.
Du Yuanhe did not doubt that he was there and continued: "If we don't consider pills, how can these disciples build the foundation?"
Han Yuan thought about his situation and his eyes lit up: "I understand, a breakthrough in skills! The efficiency can be doubled at the Xiaocheng realm, and it should be four times higher at the Dacheng realm! In this way, 256 years can be compressed to 64 years !”
Du Yuanhe was startled and raised the corner of his mouth: "Great success is not that easy to achieve. Generally speaking, it is good to have a small level of success. On the other hand, it mainly depends on the spirit gathering array or spirit stones to speed up the practice. , there are practice caves and practice rooms in the inner peak, which can increase the speed of practice by two or even three times. With the two methods added together, it is estimated that the conditions for foundation building can be achieved before the age of fifty! And these are just the foundation building conditions. Qualifications! Generally speaking, middle-grade spiritual roots only have a 20% chance of breaking through the foundation building!"
"Of your group of five hundred disciples, only one hundred and eighty have reached the third level of Qi Refining. It is estimated that only one or twenty of these people can break through the foundation building!"
Han Yuan asked subconsciously: "Then how to increase the probability of foundation building?"
Du Yuanhe gave a thumbs up: "The first is the foundation building pill, which can be obtained through the sect competition, which can increase the success rate by 20 to 30%. The second is to break through to the tenth, eleventh and twelveth levels of Qi refining, each level After practicing to perfection, you can gain a 10% chance again, but in order to fill the Dantian in these realms, a lot of spiritual power needs to be filled. In addition..."
He looked at Han Yuan and smiled faintly: "In special circumstances like yours, you can increase the success rate out of thin air!"
"Now, do you understand the difficulty of cultivation?" Du Yuanhe said solemnly.
Han Yuan lowered his head and fell into thinking: "My situation is different from other people's. Every time the realm improves, the Dantian will expand. It is difficult to analyze the speed of practice in the future. However, with the benefits of elixirs, it is not difficult to practice, and building I have a 30% to 40% chance of success. If I swallow the Foundation Establishment Pill, my success rate can reach 100%. Foundation Establishment will not be a problem for me at all! '
Thinking of this, he responded: "It will probably take some time to break through!"
"As long as you know!"
Du Yuanhe said calmly: "I can prepare the best cave for you, with a sufficient supply of elixirs, and can also guide you in the practice of martial arts. With your conditions, it is not difficult to break through the foundation building, but I hope you will set your goal." On the golden elixir!”
"Um?"
Du Yuanhe said cautiously: "To break through the golden elixir, you need to practice a spell above the Xuan level to a perfect level and condense the true talisman. Only then can you use it to break through the golden elixir. In order to prepare in advance to cultivate this spell, you You need to practice the supporting yellow-level spells in the Qi-training realm, and try to practice them to perfection. When building the foundation, with the help of the interaction between heaven and earth, you can quickly cultivate the mysterious-level spells, saving hundreds of years of hard work! I can prepare a few spells for you to inherit. , this is also one of the biggest benefits after you become my disciple!"
"Thank you Master for the gift!" Han Yuan said gratefully.
Du Yuanhe smiled and nodded.
Han Yuan suddenly realized that after saying so many words, wasn't it just to show how much his master had helped him? Sure enough, he is very cunning!
However, he was indeed very grateful. If no one had told him, he would have never known that there were so many ways to practice. Even if he knew, it would be difficult to exchange for a precious set of spell inheritance.
"There's no rush to exchange spells. We'll wait until you break through to the late stage of Qi refining. Now you can just concentrate on your cultivation. Well, our Earth God Sect requires every disciple to master an immortal cultivation skill. The Lingwen of our Lingwen Peak is the most important. strange……"
"I want to be a spiritual husband."
"Ling Zhihu?" Du Yuanhe shook his head quickly, "You have a good understanding. Lingwen is suitable for people with high understanding to practice. You..."
Han Yuan was stunned. Is he highly savvy?
How come he doesn't know it himself?
Breaking through to the realm of minor accomplishments in martial arts was an epiphany that happened by chance. In fact, his understanding was similar to that of others. Since the spiritual text required enlightenment, he would definitely not ask for trouble!
"No, Master, I'd better be a spiritual husband!"
Du Yuanhe's face was serious: "Don't be willful!"
Han Yuan went crazy. How could he be so willful? He is obviously very good at farming, right?
"Master, I have planted a season of blood rice. I think I am very talented in planting!" Han Yuan said immediately.
Du Yuanhe waved his hand in disgust: "Forget it, don't regret it in the future. This is the token of Cangming Cave. It is a high-grade Xuan-level cave that can increase your cultivation speed by five times. You will practice there in the future."
"Thank you, Master!" Han Yuan happily took the token.
"Just leave if you have nothing to do!" Du Yuanhe whispered dissatisfiedly, "It's a waste of understanding. If I had this understanding, I would have long ago..."
"Master, what did you say?"
Du Yuanhe pointed to the door: "Don't bother me if you have nothing to do!"
"Disciple understands!"
It means just look for it if you need something!
Han Yuan took the token and went back to move happily!
After he decided to move to the new cave, he would first practice in seclusion to reach the fourth level of real Qi refining. In addition, he would have to exchange for a hidden cultivation spell. This world was too unsafe.
