Li Yirou has always believed that in order to do many things well, talent and hard work are part of the equation, and the other part is mentality. What she is best at adjusting is her own mentality.
No matter what others say, she wants to live a good life.
She was used to reading during the day. Since she was born in the mortal world, the basics that she should have known long ago were all new knowledge to her, so she had to spend time reading one book after another.
After looking through the titles of several books again, Li Yiru curiously picked up the book "Formation First" and began to read it slowly.
The books that record the basics of cultivation are very thin and only talk about the most basic knowledge of cultivation. For people in the world of cultivation, it is common sense that even illiterate people know, but she does not understand it.
Only after reading the book "Arrays" did she realize that the array plate used by Master Minjing was actually used to assist in setting up arrays.
Moreover, setting up a formation does not necessarily require a formation plate. You can also directly place spirit stones in the corresponding positions and then use cultivators to activate the generation of spiritual power. However, that would consume too much energy in the spirit stones, and the effect of the formation would not be as good as that of a formation plate.
Combined with the formation formed by the formation plate, the effect is more obvious and the energy consumption in the spirit stone is much lower.
For example, a low-level concealment defense array, using only spirit stones, would require three low-grade spirit stones to form and last for seven days. However, using a formation plate would only require one low-grade spirit stone.
As for why it is called "formation first", it is because if the formation is used before practicing, it is equivalent to adding a buff to the cultivator, which can improve the effect of practice and achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Before practicing, monks usually need to set up several basic formations: one is the spirit gathering formation, which can increase the concentration of the surrounding spiritual energy to facilitate better sensing of the spiritual energy;
The second is to conceal the defensive formation, to prevent other cultivators from using their spiritual consciousness to spy on and disturb their cultivation, and at the same time it is a layer of protection to prevent other cultivators and monsters from invading at will;
The third is the meditation array, but this array is not very necessary for her. It is mainly used to block external sounds and help her enter a state of meditation.
Li Yiru previously thought that everything would be fine after buying a formation plate, but she didn't expect that she would need to place spirit stones to activate the formation plate.
Not only is her cultivation level struggling, but poverty has also become another big problem for her.
Moreover, she discovered from this book why people say that the five spiritual roots are useless. Not only is the cultivation speed slow and difficult, but more importantly, it consumes resources.
Take the Spirit Gathering Array for example. A single spiritual root is enough to gather one kind of spiritual energy. A spiritual stone takes longer to support the formation of the array. However, she needs the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array to practice, and the speed of spiritual stone consumption is also much faster.
Li Yirou sighed and continued to open the next book, "Ten Methods of Body Tempering".
She felt even more depressed after reading it. She thought that body tempering was to use spiritual energy to improve the meridians and dantian, and she thought there was something special that needed attention. She didn't expect that it was an internal transformation, and it was best for cultivators to improve the outside of their bodies as well.
After tempering the body, more spiritual energy will be absorbed and the external resistance will be greatly improved.
Just like a house, cultivation only renovates the interior, while the outside still looks old and dilapidated; while tempering the body and cultivation can make the house look brand new from the inside out.
A layman like her didn't know that most cultivators would temper their bodies first and then practice, laying a solid foundation before starting to draw Qi into the body, so that they would basically not feel pain during practice.
This book talks about the method of tempering the body, which requires boiling various spiritual plants into medicinal baths, and the transformation process will be painful.
But she practiced first and then tempered her body, so she had to suffer twice.
The book records seven prescriptions, focusing on strengthening the body from six aspects: skin, blood vessels, muscles, nerves, bones, internal organs, and finally overall tempering; supplemented by three other methods: lifting weights to increase strength, horse stance to enhance stability, and running (also known as jogging) to increase speed, for a total of ten methods.
This book is very friendly to low-level cultivators. Except for the seven medicinal materials required for the total quenching, the rest of the seven prescriptions only require three kinds of medicinal materials each.
The pain has become a secondary issue. For a poor person like Li Yiru, it is difficult to collect all these things.
Especially for the total quenching, seven sets of medicine and seven medicinal baths are needed; the others also require three sets of medicine and three medicinal baths.
The book records that it costs 1 point to temper three sets of medicine, for a total of 6 points. A total of 6 points are required to temper seven sets of medicine, for a total of 12 points. This is a bargain price for inner disciples.
If you buy it outside with spirit stones, it will cost about 24 low-grade spirit stones.
She originally wanted to buy the formation plate first, but now she was tempted by the need to temper her body. After thinking about it, she decided to save up points for 3 months to temper her body first.
However, she can do the three things of carrying a tripod, horse stance, and running, and she can start tomorrow.
.
After reading for a while, Li Yiru began to practice again. When she could no longer enter into meditation, she opened her eyes and found that late night had quietly arrived again.
The blood spirit grass in the space has recovered a lot. The branches that were about to fall down have stood up, and only the leaves are still drooping; Taxue has a long breath and is sleeping soundly.
Outside the window, the night was as dark as water. In the silence, the chirping of insects and the roar of animals seemed even clearer. Li Yiru suddenly remembered the days when the original owner lived in Linxian Village.
I don't know how Xifeng is doing. Without this unlucky girl who gets into trouble every other day, Xifeng would have fewer problems. I hope she can live a happy and peaceful life.
I don’t know what happened to Li Chang’s family. Don’t let her wait for the chance to go back, otherwise it will be their death.
She stroked the thin silver bracelet on her wrist. In the moonlight, the pattern of the bracelet was very beautiful. The raised pistil part reflected five light spots, three of which were arranged in a familiar order.
Li Yirou touched the flowers lightly with her fingertips and frowned. The arrangement of the three flowers was extremely similar to the concealment formation!
As if she had discovered some secret, her heartbeat quickened slightly, and she tentatively injected her spiritual consciousness into the bracelet.
The silver bracelet was successfully branded with her spiritual imprint and became her own magic weapon.
She was not very clear about the grades of magic tools, she only knew that there were three grades: low, medium and high. She did not understand what kind of silver bracelet this was, she only knew that its function was to hide.
She can hide her cultivation level, but can only lower it, for example, from the fifth level of Qi Refining to the first level, she can now become like a mortal; hide the traces of her spiritual consciousness, like a cloaking formation, hiding in the dark without being discovered, but it lacks the function of defense.
It seems that she can also conceal her spiritual consciousness. When her spiritual consciousness spreads out, other cultivators cannot discover her secret observation.
Li Yiru was absorbed in studying the bracelet, concentrating her spiritual consciousness on it without releasing it outside. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a dark shadow in the window out of the corner of her eye, and her body trembled with fear.
Turning around, she saw two small flashlight-like lights staring straight at her. It turned out to be Haruyuki, and she was almost scared by her again.
She patted her chest. This was her benefactor, no, her noble beast. She couldn't be angry if it noticed something was wrong. She had to keep smiling and greet it with the best spirit!
Moreover, before becoming his disciple, Han Yuzhen had clearly stated that she would accompany Chunxue whenever she came. So Li Yirou raised her voice and said softly, "Chunxue, you're here~"
"Come in…" Before she could even utter the word "come", Haruyuki snorted and turned away.
…
Li Yirou waved helplessly, sending it off with full sincerity, "Haruxue, take care~"
What a strange tiger.
