Lu Ping left his great-grandfather's cave.
Walking alone on the mountain road, he felt a little emotional. This was the first time he went against his great-grandfather's ideas. In the past, even if he had different opinions on his great-grandfather, he would try to persuade him to change his mind indirectly. But this time, even if his great-grandfather disagreed, he still acted according to his own ideas.
But he understood that if his great-grandfather knew the existence of the system, he would agree with Lu Ping's doing so.
However, Lu Ping was destined not to tell his family about the existence of such a heaven-defying system. It was not a question of trust or distrust, but the more people who knew this secret, the greater the threat. He was still very weak.
With a heavy heart, Lu Ping left Chongming Peak. He did not go directly to Lu Hao. Instead, he looked at the system tasks. Originally, Lu Ping was thinking about the family tasks, and the task rewards were inevitable, so he did not want to submit the tasks quickly. But now he could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart.
So he came to the Foreign Affairs Hall.
"Hey, why are you the only one back? Where's that guy Lu Wu?"
Lu Ping briefly explained some things and told his uncle that some things had been found there, but the family asked that it be kept secret.
When Uncle San heard that even the old patriarch had ordered the matter to be kept secret, he stopped asking more questions about it.
Lu Ping took out the original token and handed it to his uncle, saying, "In this case, my mission should be completed."
Uncle San said, "You are still concerned about this mission now."
Lu Ping shrugged and said, "If you don't care about the mission, why should you care? Missions earn you resources."
"Okay, of course I have completed the task. The family will record a contribution value of 1,000 for you, including the 1,500 contribution value you made last time.
Lu Ping knew that contribution points were used by the family to exchange for some needed magic and martial arts. However, because his spiritual energy recovered quickly, he planned to focus on magic and had no requirements for martial arts. Moreover, the family would meet his requests for magic, so contribution points would not be used at all.
However, he completed the task only to test the new functions of the system and to make some contributions to the family. It didn't matter whether it was useful or not.
When Uncle San took back the mission token.
The system panel popped up, Mission: Kill the monster Completion status: Completed
Rewards: Distribution completed
After watching the system rewards being distributed, he stopped chatting with Uncle San.
"I'm going to go back and rest first."
This time, Third Uncle didn't keep Lu Ping any longer. After all, it was related to some family secrets, so it was better not to know too much.
Lu Ping returned to the room alone, opened the system, checked the task rewards in the system space, and took them all out, ten spiritual fruits, a jar of spiritual wine, and three monster furs. Only a book on the initial solution of the formation could not be taken out in the system space.
He had checked the spiritual fruits and found that they were the same as those in the cave in Yuquan Town, but they were all of the first grade. The information given by the system for such common items was not as good as that in the classics. It seemed that he would have to go to the family scripture pavilion to read "Records of the Miraculous World in Heaven and Earth" to avoid forgetting some common sense of cultivating immortals.
After all, sometimes the information given by the system is inconsistent with the common sense of the immortal cultivation world in the Vortex Sea.
The spiritual fruits and furs were far inferior to the harvest in the cave. However, the spiritual wine,
Name: Fruit Spirit Wine
Quality: Excellent [Ordinary fruits are blended with spiritual energy through special techniques, which is much more mellow than ordinary wine]
Lu Ping was a little confused when he saw the description of the Hundred Fruit Spirit Wine. Uncle Jiu said that he didn't find any spirit wine in the Monkey Nest, so what was this spirit wine related to? He thought about it, could it be that Uncle Jiu swallowed up the spirit wine? No, although Uncle Jiu liked wine, he would not cheat in the distribution of the cave, and he would not cheat for the spirit wine with lower value. Besides, it didn't matter if he took it all away because he didn't drink after all.
He thought about it again. The remaining few demon monkeys in the monkey group were quite ordinary, and the Monkey King was quite powerful. Combined with what Uncle Jiu said before, the monkey group could brew magic wine.
Combining all the information, we can conclude that it is very likely that the Monkey King discovered the cave alone and found the loophole in the formation. He then picked the spiritual fruits, refined the spiritual energy, ate them indiscriminately, and evolved into a demon monkey. He then used some of the spiritual fruits to make wine, and distributed the wine to the monkeys under his command, turning them into spirits as well.
"Yes, Uncle Jiu is right. We really can't wait any longer. Otherwise, we don't know to what extent this monkey will be strengthened, and how much spiritual fruit will be used."
Lu Ping brought the jar of wine back, smelled it briefly, and then sealed it, waiting for a good excuse to give it to his uncle later.
After receiving this jar of wine and other things, and combining them with the mission information, Lu Ping was basically certain that the rewards given by the system were only related to the cause and effect of the mission content. Otherwise, the spiritual fruits rewarded in the mission should be of the second grade, instead of only the first grade spiritual fruits now, the spiritual fruits in the cave would also be of the second grade.
And the spirit wine is not
It's not just an ordinary fruit, but a spiritual fruit.
Lu Ping looked at the last thing which was also the thing he was looking forward to the most, "An Initial Explanation of the Formation".
"The Beginning of the Formation"
[Only those who have learned the formation can use it. After using it, your understanding of the formation will be enhanced.]
[The effect increases the proficiency of the formation by 100 points. The formation level cannot be used if it exceeds the formation master level.]
It turned out to be an item for the system's own use. For other people, there is no such thing as reading a book to directly increase proficiency, so this thing can only be used by me.
"Do I have to learn the formation?"
Lu Ping took out the jade slip from the storage bag. Name: Complete Collection of Basic Formations Quality: Excellent [Contains 18 basic formations, suitable for beginners to learn and perform formations]
Input spiritual energy, and after three breaths of spiritual energy output, the jade slip suddenly explodes. This is a means of keeping secrets.
Then a large piece of information came into Lu Ping's head.
"bite."
[You have read the basic formation, gained some insights, and obtained the skill formation]
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
[Array Apprentice Lv1 (0/2000)]
"bite."
[You used the "First Solution to the Formation" and gained some enlightenment, gaining 100 points of proficiency]
[Array Apprentice Lv1 (100/2000)]
Lu Ping felt terrible when he saw the proficiency requirement of 2000 at level one.
"Level 1, 2,000. How did the others get promoted?"
"The formation is quite expensive."
Systematic learning is different from self-study. Systematic learning can force you to succeed. After learning the formation, he can now set up the formation. This is not guided by the system, but he really knows how to do it. Moreover, because of reading, Lu Ping is not completely ignorant of the formation. He knows that the difficulty of setting up the formation lies in money. It is easy to fail if you use garbage materials to set up the formation.
However, you get what you pay for. In order to save materials, talented people in the world of immortal cultivation invented various simple copycat formations, which greatly reduced the consumption of materials and also reduced the power of the formations.
Lu Ping now suddenly understood Uncle Jiu, who was short of money.
After receiving the jade slip of the formation, it was almost dusk. Lu Ping took out the jade slip of "Eating Wind and Drinking Dew" and decided to use it after thinking about it. The system is still humanized. The exercises that you don't want to learn will not be automatically learned just by watching. It's not safe in those places ahead. There is enough time to watch the exercises here.
In the middle of the night, Lu Ping shook his head and woke up from a large string of messages.
Two good news and two bad news.
Good news, the system is a cheat, worthy of the title of genius, its ability is endless. He directly realized "Five Qis Returning to the Origin", bad news "Five Qis Returning to the Origin" is a Nascent Soul technique, and the pre-requisites are the foundation-building technique "Eating Wind and Drinking Dew" and the Golden Elixir technique "Eating Five Qis in the Morning", and the other bad news is that he only realized "Eating Wind and Drinking Dew", and "Eating Five Qis in the Morning" was nowhere to be found.
The best news is that by practicing "Eating Wind and Drinking Dew" according to the method of "Five Qis Returning to the Origin", one can also practice a method of other attributes at the same time, but it is required to be within the five elements, and the wind and thunder methods are not allowed.
After a little thought, Lu Ping decided to practice "Eating Wind and Drinking Dew".
The first reason is that after all, you can practice other skills at the same time. Although you may not be able to find "Eat Five Qis Morning", "Five Qis Returning to the Origin" will give you a magical power, the Five Elements Annihilation. This magical power is an ability that appeared in ancient mythology, and the description of this magical power is very powerful, breaking all the five elements. If you don't practice it, you will really let yourself down.
The second reason is that the quality of the mana generated by practicing "Eating Wind and Drinking Dew" according to the method of "Five Qis Converging to the Origin" is perfect. It is not just practicing "Eating Wind and Drinking Dew" alone. Even if you can't find "Eating Five Qis in the Morning", you can switch to practicing it in the future. And the high quality of mana is helpful for fighting and breaking through the golden elixir.
He possessed spiritual eyes and was confident of breaking through the foundation-building stage, but Jin Dan had no confidence and was not prepared at all.
Of course, Lu Ping decided to take a look at the collections in the family's martial arts pavilion tomorrow. If he encountered a situation like "Eating Wind and Drinking Dew", he would not mind practicing other things.
After all, Lu Ping is only at the seventh level of Qi training now, and is still far from reaching the tenth level of Qi training to practice the foundation-building exercises.
Lu Ping also understood why "Five Qis Converging to the Origin" was hidden in this jade slip.
The question is not why "Five Qis Returning to the Origin" is hidden in this jade slip, but why "Five Qis Returning to the Origin" is hidden in all the "Eating Wind and Drinking Dew" exercises.
Since most casual cultivators have average knowledge, they would make very few changes to the "Eating Wind and Drinking Dew" technique, retaining the ancient essence. Even if casual cultivators have better knowledge, they would choose to specialize in other techniques and would not change this technique. As for the big sects, they would be eager for casual cultivators to practice this technique that does not consume resources, so why would they change this technique! As for why "Eating Five Qi for Breakfast" is gone, we don't know. We can only guess that it is not well hidden. After all, the means of the powerful to hide the technique are not what Lu Ping can imagine.
Seeing that it was already midnight when he finished reading the two jade slips, Lu Ping felt exhausted and for the first time he went straight to bed instead of meditating to restore his energy.
