It is a golden finger that is extremely helpful for spiritual practice and is the most direct help.
During the [Double Experience] period, Zhou Qing's practice speed undoubtedly accelerated again, and it was extremely fast.
One month of practice has the same effect as two months.
The effects and functions are simple, crude and intuitive, but they are really easy to use.
At the beginning of this month, when [Double Experience] was refreshed, information prompts related to the return of the gold finger extraction function also appeared.
[Important reminder: As of this month, you have accumulated ten gold fingers. The gold finger return draw function is officially opened. Starting from this month, you can choose to randomly draw the gold fingers you have owned with life points when the gold fingers are refreshed every month]
[You can freely choose whether to replace the naturally refreshed gold finger of the month with the gold finger you drew for the return game. You can only draw and replace once a month. After the replacement, the naturally refreshed gold finger of the month will disappear, but it will still appear in the future return draw.]
The gold finger return extraction function has been fully enabled, just as introduced before.
You can only draw once at the beginning of each month. Whether to replace it after drawing is decided by Zhou Qing, who has complete autonomy.
If you replace it, you cannot regret it after the replacement. There is no such thing as replacing it and suddenly feeling that the naturally refreshed cheat code is better and wanting to change it back.
This is what it means to be replaceable only once.
But if you don’t replace it after extracting it, it always gives people a feeling of waste.
I've drawn all the time and spent my life points, but in the end I used the naturally refreshed cheat code. Didn't all my drawing be in vain?
The situation is very clear. When the cheat code was refreshed at the beginning of this month, Zhou Qing did not choose to draw the previous cheat code to replace [Double Experience], but kept the naturally refreshed cheat code.
He felt that [Double Experience] was very useful, and would feel a bit of a loss if it was replaced.
After all, Zhou Qing is already short of time. Compared with those who have started practicing at the age of twelve, the time he has spent on the path of cultivation is still too short.
Although he reached this level of practice in less than a year and seemed to be in great glory, in fact, he was just boasting.
But if given a choice, Zhou Qing would actually prefer to travel back to the age of twelve and start practicing from a young age.
In that case, he might have become the master of Xuandu Temple by now! With his cultivation speed, an extra month in disguise would be good.
The most important thing is that he is on his way to Xuandu Temple this month, which means that some golden fingers are not suitable to appear this month.
Things like [God's Perspective], [Pot of Fortune], or [Mysterious Treasure Chest] were too restrictive when he was on the road and were basically useless.
[God's Perspective] is most suitable for use during exploration, while [Mysterious Treasure Chest] will restrict the direction of his movements. He has traveled across several states, and if the treasure chest appears in the primitive ancient land, then this golden finger will be no different from having nothing.
If you choose to draw a cheat code, then out of the ten cheat codes, the probability of drawing a cheat code that is not suitable for traveling is almost half.
The probability is too high, Zhou Qing doesn't dare to gamble.
Life points are precious. The life points he has now and may get in the future are all limited in total.
One can only get a life point if the soul or martial arts breaks through a great realm. Where in this world is there such a great realm for him to break through?
It would be better for him to take advantage of the [Double Experience] that was naturally refreshed this month. Even if he was on the road, he would take time to practice every day, so that this golden finger could play a perfect role.
So Zhou Qing kept it.
And the facts have proved that Zhou Qing’s choice at the beginning of this month was not wrong.
As of today, Zhou Qing has refined all 102 bones in his body to perfection. He only needs one bone to enter the realm of minor success in bone refining and take another step forward in the field of bone refining! If nothing goes wrong, he will be able to break through in one fell swoop tomorrow, the last day of training during the [Double Experience] period.
Working backwards from the results, the decision to keep this golden finger was not unwise.
If he could achieve minor success in bone refining, Zhou Qing would have a better chance of passing the subsequent test of true teachings.
There is no doubt that there is a bottleneck in breaking through the realm.
But in Zhou Qing's situation, he would not be blocked by the bottleneck of a small realm. If it were any other genius, as long as there was no problem with his body, he would not be blocked by the small bottleneck of the Bone Refining Realm.
In addition, his soul was getting closer to perfection in the Day Tour. After the [Double Experience] disappeared, he would continue to practice step by step for about one to three months, and he should be able to reach perfection and begin to impact the Manifestation of Sainthood.
Extending the soul breakthrough time to three months is the most conservative estimate, which means that Zhou Qing is stuck at a bottleneck.
"It's a pity that the double experience will be refreshed soon. It would be great if this cheat code could be preserved forever."
Zhou Qing thought to himself that he was a little greedy.
Practicing during the [Double Experience] period is really fast. If Zhou Qing could have it forever, then he would always be one day, one month, or even one year faster than others.
It can even be said that this is equivalent to doubling Zhou Qing's lifespan in disguise.
"We already have the cheat code return function, so it's not too much to update it to have a permanent cheat code function, right? It's reasonable, right?"
Unfortunately, the golden finger didn't move, as if it didn't hear his thoughts.
Then Zhou Qing thought of the non-unique [Wanshou Daoguo] golden finger.
Since there may be many of that cheat code, will there be [triple experience], or even [ten times the experience], or even more times the cheat code of the same kind in the future?
[Double Experience] is unique, but it does not conflict with [Ten Times Experience], right?
Your double is unique to you, and my ten times is also unique to me. It's reasonable.
No, I can’t think about it anymore. If I keep thinking about it, An Lang will burst into tears.
This was Zhou Qing's first night spent in Xuandu Temple, accompanied by a stone chamber, and... by An Lang's side.
Damn it, before I came to Xuandu Temple, I only had An Lang by my side. After I came here, An Lang is still the damn ghost.
It's really a waste of my time to come to Xuandu Temple.
However, the vitality of heaven and earth on Shuiyue Peak is indeed extremely rich and full of spiritual energy.
Zhou Qing could clearly feel that his cultivation was progressing a little faster than before. An Lang also kept praising Xuandu Temple as a great place and said that we should have come here a long time ago.
There has been a change in plans, and the most conservative estimate of the time it takes for the soul to break through to the completion of the day tour can be brought forward to two months.
On the second day, Zhou Qing got up early and found a secluded place on Shuiyue Peak to practice martial arts, working very hard and diligently.
It is worth mentioning that what Zhou Qing is wearing now is the attire of an inner disciple of Xuandu Temple.
This was placed in the space bag that the fat middle-aged man gave him yesterday.
Lu Yuanyuan will come to Shuiyue Peak again today and continue to take him to visit some areas of Xuandu Temple. Now that he has entered the door, it is natural to change his appearance.
Xuandu Temple is really big. The mountain where Deputy Master Zhuge was located that he visited yesterday is not the deepest part of Xuandu Temple. There is an extremely vast area behind it.
When Zhou Qing finished his training and returned to Luo Liuli, Lu Yuanyuan was already waiting.
"Sorry to have kept Senior Sister Lu waiting for a long time."
"I just got here not long ago, and Master said you went to practice."
Luo Liuli is nowhere to be seen, most likely she is still in her alchemy room. This person really loves alchemy.
The crane flapped its wings and flew away from Suyue Peak.
"Junior Brother Zhou, tomorrow is the qualification test for the true teaching, so you must do your best then."
"I'll try my best." Zhou Qing smiled and asked:
"I wonder what the content of this test is generally?"
"It depends on how Wangchen Palace arranges it. There are several kinds of tests, and they will randomly choose one to carry out. From what I know, there are fights with true disciples, and also..."
Lu Yuanyuan told Zhou Qing everything, and he kept it in mind.
Luo Liuli didn't tell him this, probably because she trusted his ability.
For someone that Junior Sister Lu values so much, it’s just a small qualification test, it’s not difficult.
As the crane passed by a mountain, a sound suddenly came from the peak.
"The good mood of the day suddenly turned bad."
"Lv Yuanyuan, why are you running around with a man when you're not refining pills at Jingyan Peak?"
"Oh, are you so hungry that you don't care what you eat?"
Zhou Qing and Lu Yuanyuan both looked over. The person who was speaking was a woman dressed in red. She looked charming but had a sneer on her face.
She was floating in the sky, obviously in a spirit state, but she was still inside the mountain, so she could fly without hindrance and it was not against the rules.
Zhou Qing frowned. This man's words were so rude that he even cursed him.
With his current condition, he is so hungry that he won't be able to choose what to eat? Are you blind?
Lu Yuanyuan, who always loved to laugh, stopped laughing and said in a cold voice:
"People are like themselves, Yu Xue. You always judge others by your own standards."
"Also, I remember this is Guiyuan Peak, right? Why did you jump out when I was passing by here?"
Lu Yuanyuan muttered, "What bad luck! I deliberately didn't go to her place, but I didn't expect to meet her here."
Then she looked at Zhou Qing and started laughing again.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Junior Brother Zhou. This person is Yu Xue, also a true disciple, and an enemy of mine. We had a conflict when we were still outer disciples, and after so many years, the hatred has become very deep."
From the performance of the two, Zhou Qing knew that the hatred between them was deep, otherwise why would a true disciple attack the other party so directly with words.
"Junior Brother Zhou, you must also be careful in the future. The Xuandu Temple is not a harmonious place. From the master and others to the disciples, there are often conflicts."
"Some conflicts may only be temporary and disappear over time, but some conflicts will always exist and even become more serious."
Lu Yuanyuan passed on her experience to Zhou Qing, "The competition among true disciples is very fierce. Some things are extremely important to every true disciple, and retreat and giving up are not allowed."
"And if you want to compete, then you will inevitably come into conflict with others. After you become a true disciple, one day, there will even be competition between you and me."
Zhou Qing was listening to Lu Yuanyuan's speech very seriously. After hearing this, he smiled and said:
"I'm afraid Senior Sister Lu will have to show mercy then."
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
"Don't try that, it's useless." Lu Yuanyuan gave Zhou Qing a look.
"You are such an outstanding genius who has not received any formal teaching or inheritance outside. You don't have a simple one, and you still want to paralyze me. You are too cunning."
Lu Yuanyuan has a very good personality and is quite lively, but this depends on the person. After all, she is a true disciple of Xuan Du.
Not everyone gets to see this side of her.
As for Zhou Qing, firstly, it was because Luo Liuli had instructed her to do so, and secondly, she knew Zhou Qing and attached great importance to this peerless genius whom she had heard about more than once before he even arrived.
If you say that she is very simple and has no ulterior motives, then you are very simple.
If Lu Yuanyuan was really naive, she would most likely have been dealt with by her rival when she was in the outer sect.
"I really admire Senior Sister Lu."
"Don't flatter me. If there is a competition between you and me in the future, it won't be solved by a few words of flattery."
Lu Yuanyuan thought for a moment and said, "You need to say more."
Zhou Qing was stunned at first, then laughed out loud.
Interesting senior sister.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you as much as Senior Sister Lu wants to hear then."
"Let's get down to business." Lu Yuanyuan brought the topic back and continued:
"You officially entered the sect yesterday. You should have received some training resources from Wangchen Palace, right?"
"Yes, I got it."
"It contains Qi and Blood Pills, which are made by extracting the essence and Qi and blood from wild beast meat and adding the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth. It can replace wild beast meat and some food in your daily life to meet your cultivation needs. It is more convenient and has more benefits than eating wild beast meat."
"There is also Qi Gathering Incense, which is used to assist the soul in cultivation and can gather the power of heaven and earth's vitality."
"There is one last resource, which is Yuan Qi Crystal. Some of these things are mined from underground mines, and some are crystals formed by sect masters directly condensing and compressing the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth. They contain relatively pure Yuan Qi of heaven and earth, which can be directly absorbed to strengthen the true Qi and true essence."
Zhou Qing nodded. He had already discovered these three treasures when he looked at the space bag last night.
At that time, he was very emotional. This was something of great opportunity for independent cultivators outside, but he did not expect that in Xuandu Temple it was just a fixed resource supplied to disciples.
Disciples from major sects and independent practitioners have never been at the same starting point or on the same track.
However, when Zhou Qing saw the Yuan Qi Crystal, he was still a little confused. This thing was somewhat similar to the "spiritual stone" he knew, but why didn't he see the Yuan Qi Crystal circulating in the market and used as currency? Before coming to Xuandu Temple, he had never seen the Yuan Qi Crystal.
"These three resources are distributed to disciples every month in the temple, but the amount given is only the most basic amount, which is not enough for an inner sect disciple to use for a month."
Lu Yuanyuan looked at Zhou Qing and asked:
"There are not enough resources, what should we do?"
Zhou Qing replied: "Complete the sect's mission to gain contribution points, and then exchange them?"
In fact, he wanted to say that he robbed it, but when he thought about it, this is Xuandu Temple, not Tianmu Sect, and it was not appropriate to say that he robbed it.
Most of Zhou Qing’s cultivation resources were obtained from two channels.
One is the golden finger.
The second is sponsorship from kind-hearted people.
Therefore, it was understandable that he subconsciously thought of asking kind-hearted people in the sect for sponsorship.
It is impossible for everyone to have a golden finger like him, but everyone has the possibility of meeting a kind person, or becoming a kind person themselves.
"What you said is a method, but it is too slow. There is a more direct method, which is to compete with other inner disciples!"
Lu Yuanyuan put away her smile and said seriously:
"Each of the thirty-six inner peaks has a ranking of disciples. Once you reach a certain ranking, you will receive additional resource rewards that match your ranking every month. The higher your ranking, the more resources you will receive. You can even get precious treasures other than the three basic resources!"
"If you want a higher ranking, you must practice hard, defeat other disciples, and compete for ranking, resources, and status. Among the thirty-six inner peaks, only the top ten disciples from each peak can participate in the qualification test. If you don't compete, you won't even be qualified to become a true disciple!"
"From the outer sect to the inner sect, there is competition everywhere. Those with higher talents and stronger abilities will get more. I have experienced this and I know it very well."
"This is just the competition between the outer and inner sects. The three resources of Qi and Blood Pills, Yuan Qi Crystals, and Qi Gathering Incense are insignificant to the true disciples. The things we can touch are far more precious than what the lower disciples are fighting for. If they are placed outside, they can drive independent cultivators crazy. Some of them can even be treasures that can change our destiny."
"If you can occupy the position of one of the ten true disciples, you can even get guidance from the temple master! Faced with these things, who would be willing to give up?"
Zhou Qing's heart skipped a beat. The immortal gave him some advice...
"Junior brother, if you want to become a true disciple of Xuandu, you must be prepared to compete with everyone. This place has never been a place where everyone is happy and harmonious."
"Xuan Du Zhen Chuan has never been about playing house, sitting in a row, dividing fruits, and the most precious things are limited."
"Not only for Xuandu disciples, the word 'competition' is also the essence of cultivation."
"I want it."
Lu Yuanyuan looked at Zhou Qing and asked seriously:
"Junior brother, what about you?"
"Sister Lu, I want it too."
Zhou Qing answered seriously: "So if there is competition between you and Senior Sister in the future, then Senior Sister doesn't have to hold back."
Because I won’t hold back either.
"It seems that you have understood, Junior Brother Zhou." Lu Yuanyuan smiled again.
"Don't be nervous. Although you should be prepared to compete with everyone, you don't have to really regard every true disciple as an enemy."
"Except for very rare times, there is always the possibility of cooperation between the true disciples. The one named Yu Xue and I are enemies, but I also have friends. I am not alone."
"Competition does not mean a life-and-death feud. Within the sect, all competition is basically maintained within a controllable range and is considered healthy competition."
As for outside the sect... those who understand will understand.
Zhou Qing said seriously: "I have friends too."
Lu Yuanyuan was curious, "Who is it?"
"Sister Lu, you."
"Hahaha." Lu Yuanyuan laughed in a not at all gentle manner.
"You are right."
The crane flew away, and Zhou Qing was thinking in his heart while talking to Lu Yuanyuan.
Competition?
Zhou Qing was prepared early in the morning.
He came to Xuandu Temple not to be the last one, but to be the most outstanding, the most excellent, and the most respected! He wanted to be irrigated with the most abundant resources.
The golden finger is an internal factor, while the sect’s environment and resources are external factors.
Only when both internal and external features are at the top level can he reach the top at the fastest speed.
Zhou Qing is not afraid of competition, he is only afraid of not having the opportunity to compete. As a casual cultivator, there is no such opportunity, but if he is a disciple of Xuan Du, there is.
The world is like a sea of suffering, filled with nothing but struggle.
