Chapter 79 I'm Poor
Time flies, and three months have passed in a flash.
The benefits for new disciples were cancelled.
Chen Luo still maintained his previous habits, practicing step by step, just like an unknown person.
Every morning and evening, I practice breathing exercises and go to the Enlightenment Platform to listen to the disciples' lessons in the morning. In the afternoon, I take on some simple tasks such as helping the library organize ancient books and feeding the cranes.
In short, any mission that requires going down the mountain or leaving Shenhu Xianmen should not be undertaken.
During these three months, he sorted out the differences between the Shenhu Xianmen cultivation system and the Yue Kingdom Tomb system.
At the Yue Tomb, the immortal text cultivation method that Changqing Zhenren taught him had mostly been eliminated here. This system was called the "ancient school" in Shenhu Xianmen. For example, the "Land God Mantra", "Nine Stars Mantra", "Thunder Controlling Mantra", etc., all required learning the basic immortal texts first, and then relying on the immortal texts to mobilize the power of heaven and earth.
Therefore, this practice is also called the 'Law of Heaven and Earth'.
The cultivation method of the Shenhu Xianmen has been updated. It is a cultivation method based on spiritual roots, and all kinds of great powers are added to the body.
Self-cultivation is also known as the 'truth-seeking method'.
But there are also a few things in common between the two, such as formations, elixirs, refining equipment and talismans. Many of these are the same. The system of Shenhu Xianmen has been updated, but the foundation is still the ancient method. There are even many inheritances that are not as detailed as those recorded in the Great Tomb.
Chen Luo got started quickly with the basics. Among them, the way of talismans made the fastest progress. Not long ago, he also accepted two small tasks related to drawing talismans, and completed them successfully.
It's just that this kind of summary takes a lot of time, so the accumulation of merits is naturally slow, giving outsiders the illusion that one is just wasting time.
Fortunately, Chen Luo is not in a hurry and can endure the loneliness.
The only problem is that the speed of refining Qi is a bit slow. The simple tasks on the mountain can only maintain basic life, and it is still not enough to exchange for immortal cultivation resources such as spirit stones.
A few days ago, he heard that Huang Ying and other fellow disciples who had joined the sect with him had started to go down the mountain to carry out missions. The two talented disciples had even made a name for themselves, advancing to the middle stage of Qi training and emerging among the newcomers.
"You didn't go to the rookie competition?"
After Chen Luo completed the task, he was about to go to the Supply Hall to exchange some fasting pills. As soon as he turned around, he heard Senior Brother Huang talking behind him.
All the simple tasks on the mountain were accepted by Huang Bu Tong. Huang Bu Tong was very impressed by this junior brother who had no vitality and only thought about refining Qi on the mountain every day.
“There is such a competition?”
Chen Luo turned around, looking confused.
"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Huang Bu Tong saw this and immediately lost the desire to chat. This junior fellow was useless. At his current cultivation speed, he would definitely be driven off the mountain in three years.
After saying goodbye to Senior Brother Huang, Chen Luo went to the Enlightenment Platform first as usual.
The senior brother who is teaching me the skills is already explaining the tips of the third and fourth levels of the 'Awakening to the Gods' Technique. The knowledge of breakthroughs is worth listening to.
The middle stage of Qi Refining is a hurdle for the disciples of Shenhu Xianmen. Only a small number of disciples have reached this level, and even fewer have broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining.
The senior brother who is now teaching the skills on the skills transmission platform and sharing his experience in practicing the "Awakening to the Divine Art" is only at this level.
"Brother Chen, long time no see."
As soon as Chen Luo sat down, he heard a familiar voice beside him.
Then I saw Huang Ying and Fu An were already sitting nearby.
After more than three months of not seeing each other, Huang Ying's aura has become much stronger, and her cultivation has reached the second level of Qi Refining. The same is true for Fu An and the other two. Their auras have greatly improved. It seems that they made a small profit from the missions down the mountain and exchanged them for a lot of cultivation resources.
"Congratulations on the breakthrough."
Chen Luo congratulated the four of them.
He didn't know many people on Wudao Peak, and Huang Ying and the others were among the few with whom he could chat.
"I heard from Senior Brother Huang that you have been on a mission in the mountains these days, so I came to see you."
As Huang Ying spoke, she glanced at the disciple who was teaching over there and spoke in a low voice.
"Don't you know that the truly good techniques are not taught by the senior brothers?"
"Know."
Chen Luo replied casually.
He naturally knew the rules of Shenhu Xianmen, but he didn't have many points at the moment, so he could only use this stupid method if he didn't want to go down the mountain to complete the mission. Fortunately, the content here occasionally had some useful information, and he learned a lot after listening for a long time.
"There is nothing reliable about this Shenhu Xianmen. When we first entered, we were told that our master would teach us for a period of time after we entered..."
Fu An beside him muttered something in a low voice.
The cultivation life at Shenhu Xianmen was completely different from what he had imagined.
In the past, when they listened to storytellers in the secular world, they learned the introductory skills for free, and the master taught them step by step. But when they actually went up the mountain, they found that things were not like that at all. It had been three months since they started learning, and they had only seen their master Wuwei Zhenren once.
"How dare you say bad things about Master? Are you tired of living?"
Huang Ying knocked Fu An back. Although Master Wuwei never cared about these things, he still had to pay attention to the things he should pay attention to while he was on the Wudao Peak.
"Why are you still at the second level of Qi Refining? I remember you were already at this level when you first started."
After teaching Fu An a lesson, Huang Ying curiously touched Chen Luo again. This girl was not shy at all after getting familiar with others. She was obviously the type who was very familiar with others. No wonder Fu An and the other three were completely dominated by her.
"The first three levels are just accumulation. As long as you find the main practice method, with your aptitude, you can rush up by just spending some spirit stones."
She remembered clearly that when Chen Luo first entered the sect, his qualification was three spiritual roots, which was stronger than hers.
According to normal calculations, with Chen Luo's accumulation of practice, he should have reached the third level of Qi Refining long ago.
"I'm poor."
Chen Luo glanced at Huang Ying and said two words without changing his expression.
"Not even a single spiritual stone?"
Huang Ying was also shocked.
How poor is this person's family? They didn't even prepare two spirit stones for such a big event as joining the immortal sect. In Huang Ying's opinion, her family's conditions were already ordinary, but when she entered the sect, her father still prepared five spirit stones for her. This amount of wealth was already considered extremely poor among new disciples. She didn't expect to meet someone who was even poorer than her.
"I have one, which I used when I broke through the second level of Qi Refining."
Chen Luo already knew the price of spirit stones at the Shenhu Xianmen. The spirit stones that were extremely precious at the Yue Kingdom Tomb were very easy to exchange for here. Many of the missions down the mountain at the Wudao Peak offered spirit stones as prizes.
"Without the spirit stone, what will happen to your main cultivation technique?"
Huang Ying was numb. She had inquired about it during this period of time. Chen Luo had been practicing hard on the mountain. He had not even come down from the mountain once, and he did not participate in the newcomer competition. In this case, how could he obtain training resources? Could it be that he was really going to rely on the little spiritual energy on the mountain to fight to the death? If he could successfully build the foundation, she could eat up all the 9,000 steps of the Wudao Peak.
"Wait until you reach the third level of Qi Refining before doing missions to earn money."
Chen Luo replied casually, and he was the only one who knew his true thoughts.
He was not really practicing hard during his stay in the mountain. He completed the tasks on the mountain every day, which made him familiar with the terrain here. He also found out where his dead fellow disciples were buried, as well as several tasks related to tomb sweeping.
After three months, he had a clear idea of the terrain outside Wudao Peak and was recently preparing to take on tasks related to tomb guarding.
"Can you draw talismans?"
Huang Ying suddenly said something.
"A little bit, what's wrong?"
