"Then Patriarch Liu's judgment is wrong. How can this be a bronze corpse in the middle stage of Qi Refining!" Li Shiming felt the situation of the bronze corpse, and combined with the 'Xuanming Corpse Refining Chapter' he was able to accurately judge the strength of the bronze corpse.
The bronze corpse he subdued had the strength of the seventh level of Qi Refining, which was far from the middle level of Qi Refining that Patriarch Liu had told him.
The bronze corpse was subdued successfully, but now he was facing a problem, that was the gap in strength between him and the bronze corpse was too big.
Previously, he thought that the bronze corpse was in the middle stage of Qi Refining. With his strength of the third level of Qi Refining, it would not be too difficult to subdue it and sign a blood contract.
But the bronze corpse of the seventh level of Qi Refining was too strong for him.
He will face the worst situation recorded in the "Xuanming Corpse Refining Chapter". He will be attacked by the bronze corpse at midnight every day, just like the backlash he suffered when he signed the blood contract.
This is a burden for Li Shiming, but it is not unsolvable.
One is to let IBM z15 play the "Great Compassion Mantra" every midnight to occupy one's five senses first and weaken the impact of the backlash.
The second is to improve his strength as quickly as possible. As long as he can reach the fourth level of Qi Refining, he can narrow the gap in realm with the Bronze Corpse and make the backlash disappear on its own.
He really wanted to continue studying the 'Xuanming Corpse Refining Chapter', but this was Qingqiu Pavilion. Although there was an isolation formation, he could not guarantee that letting the bronze corpse out would not trigger the discovery of the Qingqiu Pavilion's formation.
He took out the soul gathering plate and placed it under his body.
In a moment, a ball of light appeared above the spirit gathering plate. He felt as if he was immersed in spiritual water while inside the ball of light.
In this kind of environment, let alone practicing, even just breathing continuously can improve your strength.
Only then did he understand what Senior Brother Zhu Ji meant by the benefits for the rookie period. With the Spirit Gathering Plate and the concentration of spiritual energy here, the time it takes to be promoted to the fourth level of Qi Refining will be greatly advanced.
The 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Technique' was running, and in his perception, there were countless spiritual light spots all around him.
He captured as much spiritual energy as possible into his body through various acupoints in his body, through his mouth and nose.
Moreover, because the spiritual energy spots were so dense, he had the opportunity to choose, and all the spiritual energy spots he captured were golden.
After listening to Brother Zhu Ji's explanation, Li Shiming believed that when his gold spiritual root reached level 81, absorbing gold spiritual energy would be the best option for him.
He didn't know whether there was a problem with this choice, but he thought that each newcomer chose a technique according to his own spiritual roots, wasn't it to better absorb spiritual energy of corresponding attributes?
The 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Technique' does not have any requirements for the properties of spiritual energy. There seems to be little difference in the effect of cultivation between absorbing gold attribute and absorbing spiritual energy of the three attributes.
After finishing practicing the 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Technique', he looked at the time and found that it took about an hour.
If his body wants to practice again, it needs to rest for at least twelve hours, which is one day.
He felt that doing so was such a waste, and he wished he could spend all his time practicing every day.
However, he also understood that he should not be too impatient as his body was still being transformed by spiritual power.
He stood up, put the soul gathering disk back into the computer room, opened the door and walked out.
When he arrived at the first floor, he saw that there was only one newcomer asking questions at Brother Zhu Ji's side, so he walked aside and waited.
"Senior Brother Zhu Ji!" After the newcomer finished asking the question, Li Shiming stepped forward and bowed.
"If you have any questions, just ask. I'll be leaving in half an hour!" Brother Zhu Ji was assigned the task of guiding the newcomers. He had a good temper. Even after being questioned for a long time, he was still able to face Li Shiming with a smile.
"Brother Zhu Ji, after I practice the main technique now, I need to wait for a day before I can continue practicing it a second time. Is there any way to speed up the recovery and reduce the waiting time for the main technique?" Li Shiming asked his question without hesitation.
“It seems that you haven’t changed your main cultivation method. You are now at the third level of Qi Refining and are in the process of body transformation. During this period, your body cannot withstand the impact of continuous cultivation.
When you reach the fourth level of Qi Refining, the interval between practicing the main cultivation method can be reduced to about ten hours, and in the later stage of Qi Refining, it can be further reduced to about six hours. When you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, you can practice as long as you want, and your body is no longer restricted by the main cultivation method. "Zhu Ji replied with a smile.
Li Shiming was not satisfied with this answer. This kind of answer made it impossible for him to act. It would be better to say that it was a matter of letting nature take its course rather than an answer.
"Is there no proactive solution?" he asked again.
"Yes, strengthen yourself and practice physical training techniques. As long as your body is strong enough, your recovery ability will be improved, and the corresponding practice intervals of the main techniques will be reduced!" Zhu Ji replied with a smile.
He didn't think that this solution was something that Li Shiming could achieve. Not to mention the good deeds required for the body-refining technique itself, even the resources consumed in the process of practicing the body-refining technique were far beyond what an ordinary cultivator could afford.
In the sect, only those talented disciples who are valued by the sect are qualified to learn body-refining techniques.
The sect will allocate a portion of its resources, and the forces behind the talented disciples will make up another portion, and only then will they be qualified to practice body-refining techniques.
"I have another question for you, Brother. Among the spoils of war that Uncle Cui rewarded me and belonged to the Xuanming Sect, there was a black banner. I wonder what the black banner is?" Li Shiming felt that the previous question had an answer, so he asked next.
He didn't want to miss this opportunity to ask questions for free.
As for the black flag, it was given to him by Uncle Cui, so he doesn't need to keep it secret.
"Uncle Cui?" Senior Brother Zhu Ji was startled at first, then he realized who it was and continued, "You are talking about Deacon Cui. I didn't expect you knew Deacon Cui."
At this point, Brother Zhu Ji's smile became sincere.
"The black flag of Xuanming Sect is the Five Ghosts Soul Refining Flag, one of the mainstream magical instruments used by Xuanming Sect cultivators. Using the black flag can drive five evil ghosts to fight for you.
Although there are no special restrictions on the Black Flag within the sect, the power of the Black Flag is too evil, so generally speaking, after obtaining the Black Flag, it will be purified first to reduce the resentment of the evil spirits inside, and then summoned out for use.
After being purified, the Five Ghosts Soul Refining Banner has almost no combat power in battle, but it can be used as a helper in normal times to do some simple things. "This time, Senior Brother Zhu Ji's explanation was extremely detailed.
"Here I have the purification method of the 'Five Ghosts Soul Refining Banner'. It does not belong to the sect's practice and can be exchanged at will!" As he spoke, he took out a book from his storage bag and handed it to Li Shiming.
Senior Brother Zhu Ji’s enthusiasm made Li Shiming feel unreal. Fortunately, there were no other newcomers in Qingqiu Pavilion at that time, so it did not affect Senior Brother Zhu Ji’s image.
