Chapter 133 Practice and management, fifteen years to advance to the ninth level of foundation building
The ghost cave of Yinfeng is very cold and dense. The cold wind here blows through the body, and the coldness invades the skin, seeps into the meridians and internal organs, if Without constant use of magical power to resist and nourish, even the magical body of a cultivator will be damaged over time.
"Your Majesty, please come this way."
A middle-aged Taoist wearing thick gray and black Taoist robes led a man and two women to the underground palace.
"Sir Nangong went out to hunt underground evil spirits a few years ago and has not returned for many years. After the envoy came here, all affairs here were decided by the envoy."
Although he said flattering words, living in the body, cultivating Qi, and the environment can change a person's temperament. Even when this middle-aged Taoist said these words, he had a sinister air, which made people mistakenly think that he had entered a black shop. There are many terrible plans hidden in my heart.
Seeing that everything in the palace had been cleaned, Lu Cheng nodded and rolled his sleeves and said, "Okay, you go down. If there is still need, I will call you."
"Yes."
The middle-aged Taoist curtsied and retreated. Naturally, there were maids from all around who came forward to pay their respects. However, most of them were women with lustful eyes, and their age and appearance were far inferior to those of the maids from the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Palace.
This ghost cave in Yinfeng is connected to several important mineral veins. It has nearly a thousand monks stationed in the North Sect and hundreds of thousands of miners. For the sect, it produces a lot of spiritual resources. It is a place What matters.
However, for individual monks, it is difficult to cultivate magic power in the ghost cave of Yinfeng. Although the Yinfeng here has the effect of tempering the body and spirit, in general, the longer the time of garrison is, the more it will hinder the path.
So the fourth senior brother Nangong Jing did not hesitate to take the risk of going deep underground, hoping that he would be able to make a meritorious deed and leave here as soon as possible.
This ghost cave in Yinfeng is not exclusive to Beizong of the Palace of Incarnations of Beasts. Most of the spirit stone and spirit mine areas are occupied by Beizong, but the Nine Palace Demon Realm also has a share here, and everyone is shouting The Thousand Corpses Sect that was defeated was also hiding deep underground, and would suddenly come out from time to time to attack and kill monks from various sects.
The monk guarding this place is the master of alchemy, the red-haired ancestor Gongsun Lie. It is said that he is of Semu descent and has been practicing alchemy for hundreds of years. He has deep magic power and extraordinary magical powers. Even the master Huang Long Son, we should also respect him as a senior.
After Lu Cheng, Xue Yuzhen and Yun Ling'er settled down in this palace, they saw Yun Ling'er's breath turning white and her face turning slightly blue.
Lu Cheng took out two jade bottles from his sleeves and handed them to Xue Yuzhen and Yun Ling'er respectively: "Take a small amount, your body should be warmer."
Xue Yuzhen and Yun Ling'er picked up the jade bottles, Each took some, and both of them looked surprised and happy.
“So sweet!”
“Master, is this spiritual bee honey?”
The spiritual object that Lu Cheng took out was, of course, the jade honey jelly of the lucky jade bee Jade honey jelly is a neutral spiritual substance. If the body constitution is yin and cold, it will replenish yang energy and moisturize the lungs. If the body constitution is yang-hyperactive, it will moisturize and reduce inflammation. Therefore, its medicinal properties are tonic, replenishing qi, moistening dryness, relieving pain, and detoxifying.
"One bottle every seven days, swallow it with warm water. It is not for you to eat as snacks. Although the environment in the ghost cave of Yinfeng is harsh, it can temper the body and spirit and strengthen the foundation of the Tao. You have this honey nourishment, so you should also concentrate on it. It’s about cultivating the Tao.”
“Yes.”
In this way, Lu Cheng and the others settled down in this ghost cave.
Lu Cheng took the time to visit the red-haired ancestor and presented him with several bottles of jade honey jelly. The red-haired ancestor gave him a few magic weapons and a few words of practice, and each of them fulfilled the etiquette.
No matter where you go, practicing Taoism is the core of a monk's life, whether it is in the underground palace or the stone cultivation room.
"At that time, the Suffering God, the Lord of Suffering, filled the realms of the ten directions, always using his majestic power to save all sentient beings from being lost. All sentient beings are unaware, just like blindly seeing the sun and moon. I am too inexperienced, and my leadership is boundless. Qingyun opens the door to the living, and the auspicious smoke blocks the dead..."
Lu Cheng is reciting "The Mystical Sutra of Savior from the Sufferings Said by the Heavenly Master of the Xuan Ling Bao in the Taishang Cave".
In front of him, there was a peach wood statue: a Shinto magical weapon, the statue of the Red Heart God.
Incense is offered and spiritual light circulates.
Between the two, there is a long flag with countless human faces densely packed in it. These faces are of both men and women, old and young, and they are squirming on the flag as if they are alive. He showed an expression of pain and was extremely horrified.
This was originally the Ten Thousand Souls Banner that Lu Cheng had obtained from Master Yin Corpse. However, after his battle with Dongyang Orthodox Cult Fu Chenghao, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner devoured a large amount of the evil souls accumulated in the Netherworld Bone Banner, and it advanced to a new level. Now, It is already a fourth-level medium-grade magic weapon.
As long as the material of the magical weapon can bear it, the more souls absorbed by the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, the higher the grade of the magical weapon will be. This is why such magical weapons are valued by magic monks. Of course, the counterattack is also heavy.
At this time, even if no one is controlling it, the soul in the flag is still roaring, as if it wants to choose someone to devour.
At this moment, as the "Suffering-Saving Sutra" is recited, a sense of Qi naturally appears between the two parties.
From the body of the young Taoist, a five-color aura seemed to be spreading, covering these fierce spirits.
Among the long banners, the imprisoned remnant souls greedily devoured the young Taoist's magical energy. Because they were satisfied, they gained a moment of clarity of mind. They could hear a few verses of the Miao Sutra for Saving Suffering, and some souls also lost their minds due to this. The expansion is powerful, and if you want to break through the seal, you have to be free.
But then, the magic power from the Taoist in front of them, which was more powerful and powerful compared to them, surged in like a big wave and suppressed them again.
The red divine light is also diffused on the statue of the Red Heart God, and it completes the front and rear attacks with the Taoist to suppress all spirits.
Lu Cheng tried to transcend these evil ghosts. They could try to reincarnate, or they could recover some of their spiritual instincts and invest themselves in the Red Lord's Divine Glory, but he couldn't just let them go.
Whether they devour strangers or wander around in the end, it is Lu Cheng's sin. On the contrary, if they can be saved, it is Lu Cheng's merit. When they ascend to the sky in the future, they will be more likely to be favored by God. Go to many evil tribulations.
After reciting the scriptures for seven days and seven nights, Lu Cheng used both hands to seal the Ten Thousand Souls Flag again. He added many more techniques and was careful, because in the special environment of the ghost cave in the Yinfeng Land, this rod The magic weapon adds a lot of power out of thin air.
The effect of the first salvation was not good, or extremely poor. Whether there were souls who were willing to let go of their grudges and be reincarnated, or souls who were willing to join under the brilliance of the Red Lord, they were very few in number. .
But Lu Cheng is not in a hurry, as long as he practices Taoism step by step.
Tianyi Zhenjue, the Five Elements Sword Refining Secret Book, the Five Elements Zhensha Condensation Technique, Taiyi Tian's secret plan for escaping Yin and Yang, and some auxiliary Taoist scriptures.
In the past few days, Lu Cheng has read, comprehended and thought every day. Of course, the homework of practicing Qi has not been left behind, but in the underground palace of the Ghostly Windland Ghost Cave, the wind is everywhere, wearing away the magic body. It is extremely difficult to increase the magic power in this environment, but Lu Cheng still practices the skills seriously and refuses to slack off.
Time passed like this day after day.
Lu Cheng himself stopped taking jade honey jelly because this spiritual substance had the effect of increasing his cultivation level, and Lu Cheng felt that he should not rush to increase his mana.
Master Huang Longzi warned himself not to rush to practice magic to improve his realm after arriving at the Ghost Cave of Yinfeng Land, but to let nature take its course and study the evil-condensing method attentively.
Even regardless of the master's warning, Lu Cheng still vaguely felt that the step of practicing Xuan Gong and being promoted to Ningsha was very important for him:
If you complete this step well, you will be on the right path. Make it through and be solid step by step. If there is a mistake in this step, it will be difficult to catch up in the next ten steps.
Of course, from Huang Longzi's point of view, Lu Cheng was too sharp at the Eight Views Dharma Conference, so he should have hidden his sharpness under his nose for a while. Huang Longzi gave up the path of sword cultivation because of an old incident, and embarked on the well-proven path of dual cultivation of body and law. Although physical cultivation is not as sharp and quick as sword cultivation, the capital is richer, and he has relatively more ability when encountering external calamities. room for survival.
In the blink of an eye, two years have passed.
Lu Cheng comprehended the Eight Scenery Tianyi True Secrets, and gradually mastered the extremely brilliant concealment secrets, and introduced them into his own Five Elements Sword Escape, making the use of Five Elements Sword Escape more elusive and difficult. Test.
It is also of great benefit to understand the secret book of the Five Elements Sword and the Five Elements Zhensha Condensation Method. In the past two years, although the realm has not been promoted, the magic power has grown, and the human power has been combined to strengthen the Tao foundation.
In the past two years, junior sister Xiao Yuxue has come to Yinfeng Ghost Cave twice to look for outings in Lu City, but after two times, what came again was a letter. The letter said that his father sent his sister to escort him to the East China Sea to condense the evil spirit of Xuanshuang. His words were timid and unwilling, which made people smile.
“Did Junior Sister choose to condense Xuanshuang’s evil spirit? Yes, she is different from Senior Sister Yuhong in that she understands the true dragon’s will. Forcibly condensing the True Dragon’s evil energy will do more harm than good to her. It is better to turn the sky The true fox blood has been refined to the extreme, and the potential of the bloodline is enough to reach the golden elixir."
On the stone bed, Lu Cheng looked at Xiao Yuxue's letter, smiled slightly, and then put it away and continued his work. Mana forging.
Two years later, Lu Cheng was already fifty-three years old, and Xue Yuzhen was fifty-two years old. However, the two of them established their foundation very early, so their vitality was locked together like a young couple.
Yun Ling'er was already thirty-eight years old and had reached the ninth level of Qi training. He took the Foundation Establishment Pill and began to attack the Foundation Establishment state.
In a palace, Xue Yuzhen was pacing back and forth nervously. Although he knew that with Ling'er's foundation and enough foundation-building pills, it would not be difficult to achieve the foundation-building realm, but as a mother, she still felt unavoidable at this moment. Worried.
"Yuzhen, you are spinning around so much that I feel dizzy." Lu Cheng, who was sitting at the table reading a book, put down the scripture with a wry smile and said this at this moment.
"But I always feel so flustered. Master, I will recite the exercise to you again, and you can help me deduce it to see if there are any mistakes or omissions."
"But we have deduced it four times..."
"Deduced it again, sir!"
"Okay, okay, then just recite it." Lu Cheng had no choice but to sit there and listen to Xue Yuzhen's explanation of the exercises.
Xue Yuzhen and Yun Ling'er practice a technique from Dongji Island called Xuanyu Jue. There are thousands of different types of techniques in the world, but they can be roughly divided into four categories:
A type of mana has deep and concentrated mana and fierce fighting skills. When its own mana is still at a low level, it has a chance to defeat high-level monks. In low-level casual cultivators where there is a shortage of elixirs, magical weapons, and exercises, you can often live your life in a majestic manner by choosing such exercises and relying solely on the methods themselves to defeat the enemy.
The second category is those who improve their magic power quickly, but have almost nothing else and almost no means of fighting. The practitioners often die from external calamities. But if you successfully avoid disaster and save your life, you will have the opportunity to glimpse a higher realm.
The third category is the top skills, which take into account both, but they are difficult and difficult to practice. The core skills of the twelve top sects in this world are almost all of this type.
It's just that the twelve top sects are very selective in collecting the true scriptures, and they simply refuse to accept bad materials and beautiful jade, so the difficulty of cultivating top skills is not so obvious.
In addition, there is a fourth category, which are exercises with special effects. This type of exercises can assist monks to improve their level of weapon refining, alchemy, formations, and talisman making.
A skilled weapon refining master can not only earn cultivation resources by relying on the weapon refining technique, but also have a strong ability to protect the Tao among monks in the same realm by relying on the weapon refining technique. It can also be said to be a quite for the perfect choice.
The Xuanyu Jue practiced by Xue Yuzhen and Yun Linger takes into account the characteristics of the second and fourth types of exercises. The full name of the technique they practice is Xuanyu Soul Moving Technique, which is inherited from Dongji Island.
In the early stage of practice, you only cleansed your physical body and magic power. The magic power cultivation level increased rapidly. It is a common method that is widely circulated.
But Dongji Island's Xuan Jade Soul Transfer Art can be cultivated to a high level, which can nourish the souls of monks and help monks break through the mystery in the womb - the secret method of Taoist transfer tribulation. Not only the Eight Views are studying it, but Dongji Island is also studying it. It's just that there is no example yet.
Dongji Island hopes that someone can master this mysterious jade soul-moving art, practice it to the ninth level of Gang Refining, and become a master of Dan Jie through the external elixir method.
Understand Taoism, study the scriptures, and after eight hundred years of life, use the soul-moving method to gain rebirth and continue the Taoism.
With these eight hundred years of accumulation in two lives, it is no longer difficult to cultivate a high-grade golden elixir or even transform into a Nascent Soul in this life, breaking through the shackles of this world.
In addition, this mysterious jade soul-moving art has many other wonderful uses and methods, which made Lu Cheng feel eye-opening after comprehending it. The island lives up to its name.
Just when Lu Cheng and Xue Yuzhen were still reviewing the regulations word for word, Lu Cheng suddenly sensed the direction of the palace quiet room, and the spiritual energy condensed, then improved and stabilized.
He stood up. Xue Yuzhen was stunned for a moment before reacting. Not long after, Yun Ling'er, whose aura had been greatly improved, walked into the palace.
"Mother!"
She first called Xue Yuzhen, then saw Lu Cheng, trotted over, knelt down and said:
"Ling'er thanks dad for protecting him and becoming a Taoist. Such kindness, such kindness, even if Ling'er's body is broken into pieces, he can't repay it."
As a monk cultivates the Tao, every step is slow and every step is slow. If it weren't for the Jade Void Evolution Dao Fruit, Yun Ling'er felt that it would take ten years for him to reach the foundation-building realm he is today.
Daddy's protection and kindness are the key to my ability to practice to this day.
"Okay, it doesn't have to be like this, build the foundation of immortality?"
Lu Cheng will not seize the Jade Xuyan Dao Fruit specifically for Yun Ling'er, but he happens to have it in his hand, This is also Yun Ling'er's opportunity.
Of course, if it is really a trade, I am afraid that the Jade Xuyan Dao Fruit can even be exchanged for a fifth-level magic weapon. Many monks in the realm of refining are willing to spend all their money on it to improve their own foundation.
"It's the foundation of immortality."
Although Lu Cheng helped, Yun Ling'er still kowtowed to Lu Cheng three times before standing up to answer.
The foundation of immortality is the same as the foundation of magical powers. Even in the top sects, it is enough to be ranked among the true disciples.
Xiao Yuxue went overseas to condense the Xuan Shuang Yin evil spirit. Yun Ling'er cultivated the foundation of immortality at the age of thirty-eight and built a path with a deep foundation.
A year and a half later, while Lu Cheng was studying Taoism intensively, his magic power was naturally promoted to the eighth level of foundation building, and his sword energy gathered and dispersed to control as he wished.
At the same time, he also began to manage the spiritual affairs of some ghost caves in the Dark Wind Land. The miners in the caves were mainly composed of defeated prisoners, criminals, and some poor people who could not survive.
The monks who manage this place have an absolute advantage in power. They are eager to tax these miners. The environment is already harsh, and there is not enough food and shelter. The average life span of the miners here can be imagined:
And the monks who manage this place don't care. The thirty-six countries in the Western Regions are constantly at war. There will always be a steady stream of miners joining in.
It’s just that Lu Cheng knew very well which of the two types of work was more efficient and less efficient, working like a zombie in a callous manner and working with a goal.
With the cooperation of Xue Yuzhen and Yun Ling'er, after sorting out the accounts, he began to explain some loose and standardized management regulations.
He did not kill those monks who were trying to get in trouble at all levels. He just made it clear in his mind and then issued his orders.
Be kind to those miners, give them some hope, and replace management chaos with order. Even corrupt order can create more wealth than disorderly chaos.
Five years later, the income from spiritual stones and spiritual mines in the area that Lucheng is responsible for has increased by nearly three levels, and the living environment and average life span of miners have improved.
“My master never boasts about what he does, but any matter given to him can be done beautifully, and the results are shown in real terms. Back then, the ancestor of Chi Shenzi sent me to southern Xinjiang , the master established the Chixin Temple in southern Xinjiang with hundreds of thousands of living people, and was revered as a god by the local people. Grandmaster Huang Longzi asked the master to go to the Eight Scenery Dharma Assembly, and the master defeated four upper-level cultivators in a row with his single sword. Sir, I brought back five spiritual objects and four Jade Xuyuan Dao Fruits, and now I manage this ghost cave in Yinfeng."
"That Nangong Jing knows how to go deep underground to hunt evil spirits, and wants to accumulate merit and return to Wan. In the Beast Heaven Palace, we don’t know whether we are alive or dead underground, but the master has increased the income of the mineral veins by three levels without causing any disturbance. Who would not pay attention to it or not like it?”
Xue Yuzhen looked at the accounts in front of him and couldn't help but admire them.
Actually, it was only because the management of immortal cultivators in this life was much worse than in the previous life that Lu Cheng was given such an opportunity.
Fifteen years after entering the ghost cave of Yinfeng Land, Lu Cheng has perfected the ninth level of magic foundation building, and has succeeded in mystical skills, attacking Ningsha.
