On the tenth day of cultivation at the Five Elements

Sect's Good School, Lin Jiang once again drew Qi into his body. Of course, this was the result of his deliberate control. Otherwise, with his original cultivation level of the middle stage of foundation building, he could draw Qi into his body in one night at most.

Now this speed is not much different from that of others. Yue Qing, who lived in the same courtyard, took seven days, Ji Wen took nine days, and Peng An, who had five spiritual roots like Lin Jiang, took eleven days.

However, this was enough to make Yue Qing and the others look up to Lin Jiang, because in their eyes, Lin Jiang was a cultivator with zero foundation. Peng An's family also had cultivators. According to the statistics of the Five Elements Sect, the average number of people with five spiritual roots drawing Qi into their bodies was half a month.

With cultivation, outer disciples can receive a salary of one spirit stone per month, plus a bottle of Qi Gathering Pill, which contains five pills. Lin Jiang checked it out, and found that the quality of the Qi Gathering Pill was very poor, with a lot of impurities. Lin Jiang did not eat it at all. It would take several days to eliminate the poison after taking one pill of this kind of pill, so it would be better for him to practice hard.

But Yue Qing and the others were eating happily. Although they had support from their families, they could not send them in now because Shanxuetang would not allow it. Support from their families too early would not be conducive to the disciples' foundation.

Shanxuetang was the most comfortable time for new disciples. New disciples at this stage did not need to do anything but study and practice. When they reached the middle stage of Qi training or three years later, they would automatically leave Shanxuetang. At that time, they would have to take on responsibilities and have fixed tasks every year, otherwise all rewards from the sect would be stopped.

"The one to be rewarded this time is still Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi has five spiritual roots and did not have any foundation for practice before, but he is much more diligent than you. It has been less than two months since he introduced Qi into his body, and he has successfully learned the Fireball Technique. Moreover, his cultivation level has improved rapidly, and he has already completed half of the first level of Qi training..."

Two months later, Lin Jiang was publicly praised by the teacher of Shanxuetang again. Among the many new disciples, Lin Jiang made the most progress, which left a good impression on several teachers.

During this period, Lin Jiang did work very hard. Compared with the past in Lingtao Villa, it was a world of difference. This was also the reason why Lin Jiang didn't want to stay in Shanxuetang. They were all little brats, and he, an old monster over 200 years old, was not in a good position here.

The rule of Shanxuetang was to reward but not punish. The person who made the most progress would be rewarded with a bottle of Qi-gathering Pill and three Spirit Stones every three months. If you didn't make any progress, they wouldn't care. Anyway, you would be kicked out after three years.

In addition, the rule of the sixty-year limit also existed in the sect. After the age of sixty, if you didn't build a foundation, whether it was the inner sect or the outer sect, the sect would give up on you. Ninety percent of the people would be kicked out, and only a few people could stay.

Lin Jiang accepted the teacher's praise with a guilty conscience. Yue Qing and others secretly made up their minds that they must surpass Lin Jiang next time and get the teacher's praise.

Shanxuetang was also very competitive.

After class, Lin Jiang would take the initiative to ask the teacher questions, and the teacher would patiently answer them. The disciples of Shanxuetang were not qualified to go to the library to find books to read, and everything depended on the teacher's answers.

The questions Lin Jiang asked were deeper than what he learned in class, and under Lin Jiang's guidance, the master would teach many things that Shanxuetang would not teach.

"The Five Elements Sitting and Forgetting Sutra is a practice that is a mixture of the Five Spirits Sutra and the Sitting and Forgetting Sutra. It is not of high rank, but it is particularly suitable for newcomers with poor qualifications. The most important thing is that the Five Elements Sitting and Forgetting Sutra can be perfectly connected with the three major mountain-guarding practices of the Five Elements Sect."

In the Five Elements Sect, Lin Jiang summarized the contents of Shanxuetang. Now is his third year of entry, and he is already 221 years old. If it is an ordinary foundation-building, it would have reached the deadline, but Lin Jiang still looks like 17 years old.

In the Five Elements Sect, as long as he advances according to the time of ordinary cultivators, there will be no problem. He can build a foundation before the age of 60 and form a pill before the age of 200.

Of course, forming a pill is not that easy, but he can get a suitable practice before forming a pill, and then run away.

The only thing that worries Lin Jiang is the soul lamp. Outer disciples don't need soul lamps, but once they build their foundation and automatically advance to the inner sect, they have to leave soul lamps in the sect. Before that, Lin Jiang needs to take care of this matter.

"The Five Spirits Sutra should be the most suitable method for me. This method is the most moderate and peaceful. Although it has the slowest advancement speed and requires the most spiritual energy, it is the most suitable for me."

Lin Jiang thought to himself that the three major mountain-guarding techniques of the Five Elements Sect were all suitable for the cultivation of the five spiritual roots, but not for every five spiritual roots. For example, the Return to One Technique emphasizes the return of all things to one. To practice this method, one must determine a main spiritual root in the body, and then transform the spiritual energy of other spiritual roots into the spiritual energy of this spiritual root. It is cumbersome and dangerous, but it is faster than the Five Spirits Sutra, and the five spiritual roots can also be comparable to two or three spiritual roots.

The Hunyuan Treasure Book requires the five spiritual roots to be equal, and the cultivation environment must be complete with five elements, and then the five spiritual roots are fused into the Hunyuan Qi.

This technique is the strongest in terms of power, but it also has the highest requirements and is equally dangerous, because the Hunyuan Qi requires a strong spiritual consciousness to blend. If the spiritual consciousness cannot keep up, it is easy to be backfired by the Hunyuan Qi.

Only the Five Spirits Sutra is the safest. Although the cultivation speed is slower, Lin Jiang doesn't care. What he has the most is time, so he can just endure it slowly.

"Uncle Master, I, the disciple Xiao Yi, come to ask for leave."

After graduating from Shanxuetang, all disciples have a chance to ask for leave. The sect will not only give a maximum of one month's vacation, but also provide benefits, such as those swords that are not of grade, which are garbage in the world of immortal cultivation, but are magical weapons in the mortal world. There are also some elixirs for conditioning the body, which are the lowest-grade elixirs in the world of immortal cultivation, but in the eyes of mortals, they are still magical elixirs.

Lin Jiang did not forget to take advantage of the situation. He took away everything he could take away. Then he left the mountain gate of the Five Elements Sect. He first rushed for a day, then released the little sand sculpture and flew all the way to Huangmu Village to pick up the big sand sculpture.

The journey of thousands of miles was completed in the blink of an eye. The big sand sculpture came out early to greet him, calling "brother, brother" non-stop.

It has been nearly twenty years since the big and small sand sculptures advanced to the third level, but their mental growth is very slow. Lin Jiang wanted to get some Yiling Pills for them to eat, but the price discouraged Lin Jiang.

However, Lin Jiang and the big and small sand sculptures have concluded a master-servant contract. Through the secret method, Lin Jiang knows what happened in Huangmu Village in the past few years when he was away.

Huangmu Village is generally developing well, and the population has increased a lot. With the addition of those who have just been born, the population has reached more than 200. After more than ten years, the original children have grown up, and the lack of labor in Huangmu Village has been effectively improved.

Huang Liang wanted to escape several times, but was scared back by the big sand sculpture. The big sand sculpture also taught him a very profound lesson and broke one of his legs. Huang Liang took a year to recover from the injury. In the past few years, Huang Liang has been panicking all day long, and most of his hair has turned white.

Lin Jiang took back the storage bag he used to have, took out the third-level demon pill inside, and gave one to each of the big and small sand sculptures. In the past ten years, they have suffered a lot following Lin Jiang, and this is a little compensation.

Putting away the sand sculptures, Lin Jiang descended on Huangmu Village. Huang Liang, Xiao Yuan and others were quickly alarmed. Lin Jiang did not hide at all. This time he appeared openly.

"Lin Kai, you are back"

"Lin Kai, I heard that you went to cultivate immortality. Have you become an immortal?"

"Lin Kai, you can fly?"

"Lin Kai..."

Many villagers wanted to ask Lin Jiang ten thousand questions, and they kept talking. Lin Jiang responded to them with the kindest smile.

"Uncle Xiao, I am back. I will call the villagers to dinner tonight. I will treat them. Let's talk slowly and talk slowly."

Lin Jiang said, and then he took out a piece of monster meat from the storage bag, asked someone to chop it up, and mixed it with ordinary meat. It was not that Lin Jiang was stingy, but that they could not absorb too much. If they ate too much, they would explode and die.

"Okay, okay, I will go and call people now."

Xiao Yuan showed a look of surprise and quickly went to call people. Lin Jiang asked Fang Yuan to disperse the crowd and go back to work first.

After doing all this, Lin Jiang looked back at Huang Liang who was ignored. He had to settle his affairs as well, and this cause and effect should come to an end.
