Chapter 206 Black Market
Lu Ye first looked at his own cultivation. After three years on the mountain, he is now at the third level of Qi training. He has broken through a small level in one year after coming down. This does not include the year he spent to lay the foundation for entry. time.
If this speed is placed on other immortal cultivators, with a proper level of first-grade spiritual roots, it is expected to impact Nascent Soul.
But fortunately, all the elders and disciples knew that he had learned the spirit repair method and evil skills. They thought that he had cut off his own path and had no potential. There was no guarantee that he would kill himself one day. , so it’s not eye-catching either.
Lu Ye also thought about it from the prompts of the fish and dragon diagram.
If he follows the normal progress of the second-grade spiritual root as shown in the picture, it will take him five, six, and seven years to complete the first, second, and third levels of Qi training respectively.
However, it took sixty days, one hundred and forty days and two hundred and fifty days to practice relying on the spirit repair method.
The spirit repair method is shown in the fish and dragon diagram that it is practiced by using the day instead of the month. On the first level, sixty days equals sixty-ten months, which is five years, and on the second level, one hundred and forty days equals about seventy months. Six years, two hundred and fifty days on the third floor is equivalent to more than eighty months and seven years.
Obviously, the speed of cultivation slows down as you go up. One day is equivalent to a month on the first level, a month is equivalent to two days on the second level, and a month is equivalent to three days on the third level.
If calculated in this way, it would take him fourteen years to complete the tenth level of Qi training without any tricks. At that time, if his spiritual consciousness, Qi and blood could keep up, and he continued to use the spirit repair method, he could use ten Four days equals one month, so it can be completed in about four and a half years.
In terms of overall speed, according to his reading of the Miscellaneous Notes on Immortal Cultivation, he is considered to be the best among the disciples of the famous sects of Central Continent, not as good as the true disciples, and is considered a genius among the inner sect disciples.
However, everything is speculation at the moment, and anything may happen during the actual practice.
For example, he should have actually completed the third level of qi training within a year, but he was distracted by making talismans, plus studying the ascension talisman, concealment cultivation technique, Tao Burning Technique, Six Soul Swallowing Dragon Dao, and The daily chores of the sect actually took two years.
Lu Ye frowned when he thought of the Ascension Talisman.
He has mastered fourteen secret texts, and has also individually drawn fourteen ascending talismans. Of course, they are all incomplete versions without the integration of the nine secrets.
Every time, the Demonic Soldiers under the command of the Turbid Blood Demon Lord were summoned, and the same Demonic Soldier was even summoned once.
It proves that this is indeed a talisman related to extraterrestrial demons.
Unfortunately, after two years of searching in the market, he could not find the second-level talisman inheritance, so he could not study it further. In addition, he did not understand what these secret texts meant.
There may be a legitimate association, but he is taboo about this family's background. After all, it is backed by two righteous sects, and it is clearly a mortal enemy of the Seven Demons Sect of Black Cave Mountain.
Now that he is still weak, even if he buys it from the official joint number, he is afraid that there will be endless troubles. If he provokes interested people to investigate, he will be in big trouble, so he can only stop thinking about it.
It seems that there is still a long way to go to crack the secret of the Ascension Talisman, and it needs to be done slowly.
Lu Ye shook his head not to think about this troublesome matter and continued to read.
Both the White Bone Impure Temple and the Six Soul Swallowing Dragon Dao have reached the third level of qi training. Among them, the white bone body in the sea of consciousness has been cultivated into a halo composed of many white bones behind the head. The next step is the fourth level of qi training. Then imagine the white bone robe on your body.
The Six Soul Swallowing Dragon Dao is now a small success. Since two years ago, the fog sand crystal was mixed into the Yin Soul Qi mass, and the sacrifice was made to crush the hundred and ten Yin Souls, forming a yellow sand flow.
Under the nourishment of it, the Six Tribulations Cultivating Yin Souls can now freely transform into reality and reality, and they have absorbed the residual soul fragments in the sand flow. Even the lowest level is roughly equivalent to the fourth level of Qi training.
Although one-on-one Yin Souls are not as good as monks of the same level, if six souls come out together, they can achieve the effect of using more to defeat fewer.
Lu Ye was really looking forward to seeing the actual battle scene that day.
The hidden cultivation method obtained from the leader of the female tree spirit Jie Cultivator has also been practiced to a small degree. At least Lu Ye Na Wang Hu and Zhang Cunyi have tried it. If he uses the unfolding method, he will be a mortal in the eyes of the two.
The Burning Dao Kung Fu obtained from Wen Xin Pavilion, a magical skill prepared for desperate efforts, has been practiced to a small degree, but there has never been a chance to use it, and Lu Ye does not hope that he will use it one day.
The first-level talisman-making skill has been easily mastered with the help of the powerful spiritual consciousness of the initial stage of foundation building and the memory of Xu Guang, the Yinhun Ancestor.
In the past two years, Lu Ye had honestly received the materials on a monthly basis. In fact, he completed the tasks given by the sect in just one or two days. He sold the remaining talismans to the market through Shu red soil and made a small fortune.
Although the spirit repair method was used in the later stage, the huge spiritual consciousness has been weakened. However, the skills mastered in the fish and dragon diagram are once and forever, and his skills in making talismans have not declined.
Just looking down at Lu Ye, he frowned.
Ah Chou, this lazy idiot, actually took so long to transform for the second time!
He was still sleeping in the cocoon for two years. If the weight of the cocoon hadn't gotten heavier day by day, and if he could telepathically sense A Chou's breathing and heartbeat inside, he would have thought that the insect might have died in childbirth. Inside the cocoon.
This was his trump card, but now it is useless.
If A Chou doesn’t wake up when the secret realm opens, he will be really angry.
Because the golden cocoon was getting heavier and heavier, Lu Ye was overwhelmed, so he threw it into the Qi-nourishing gourd.
Lu Ye touched his chin.
According to the instructions of the fish and dragon diagram, it takes 380 days to complete the fourth level of Qi training.
However, the sect has many tasks, so it is good if the cultivation time can be guaranteed to be undisturbed for a week.
Fortunately, Shu Chitu said that the sect has relaxed its rules recently, because there are too many disciples who are really not suitable for practicing the immortal arts. They have been deducted countless skills and are about to fail, which is too harmful to morale.
So now the disciples are allowed to take over the task privately. It seems that I have to find a substitute. It is authentic to seize the time to practice.
There is also the last qi and blood item. In the past two years, Lu Ye's use of the spirit repair method only consumes spiritual consciousness and does not involve physical essence. He is also afraid of sucking himself to death.
I don’t know if it was because he stopped plundering, but as he advanced to the third level of Qi training, his Qi and blood actually increased, reaching the level of a normal immortal cultivator.
However, according to the records of the exercises, this kind of qi and blood that has returned again is real.
But the spirit repair method is like sawing off a section of the water-bearing wooden barrel forever. When the Qi training is completed and it is time to hit the foundation building mark, the Qi and blood will always be a little short, and then there will still be A panacea is needed to make up for the loss of energy and blood.
However, Lu Ye didn't pay attention to this. The cicada's ability to transform into a dragon gave him the strongest confidence.
But now that I have 3000 Qi and blood, I wonder if I can transform my root bones again? This blood value is still low.
He was meditating.
Jingle bells...
Outside the cave, the melodious bells rang, but it was time for morning classes again on the first day of every month.
On this day, except for the disciples who have tasks in hand, the rest of the inner and outer disciples must gather in the Taoist temple.
Generally, Mo Ruyan is a martial arts madman who has been in seclusion all year round and will not appear.
If there is no big event, Wu Feng will open a class to teach him about heavenly demons. There are as many kinds of demons as stars outside the realm. He has been teaching for several years and has not finished the course. Many of the disciples who are following him are about to cry. .
It’s not that the class wasn’t exciting, it was mainly because I felt sorry for the Taoist skills in my storage bag.
If there is any important matter, all the disciples need to do is listen to the teacher's instructions and arrangements honestly.
Lu Ye packed up a few things and left the cave. He looked to the left and right first, but unfortunately Wang Hu and Zhang Cunyi from the caves on both sides did not come out.
He knew that the two of them had taken over the task of guarding Fang City and had been living in Heikufang City these days.
In the past two years, as Shu Chitu said, with the stabilization of order, the market has gradually become more prosperous, and all the shops have been rented out.
There were even many scattered cultivators who paid land fees and built houses to live in around Fangshi. Then, more scattered cultivators appeared nearby.
However, these robbery cultivators are not organized like the Plum Blossom Pirates last time.
They are just sporadic flies that appear with the prosperity of the city. In fact, some of the robbery cultivators are the casual cultivators in the city who cover their faces and commit crimes.
This kind of thing is not a rare thing in the world of immortality.
Therefore, the Seven Demons Sect no longer organized large-scale activities like before, and just sent disciples to strengthen the protection of the city.
Lu Ye was very regretful. He went to and from the city many times, but unfortunately he didn't meet anyone who could test the power of his six souls.
He drove the Dunguang forward. At this time, hundreds of disciples came from all directions. Because of the large number of people, people lowered the Dunguang and walked slowly.
At this moment, a scent of fragrance floated by, and there was a female nun wearing a silver mask next to Lu Ye.
"Fourth Junior Brother..."
Lu Ye turned his head and saw that his face was disfigured by Wu Feng's magic fire. Qi Fangfang, the legitimate daughter of Elder Qi's family of Lingyun Sect of Chu State, now had her face covered On his face, two watery eyes were revealed, which was quite touching.
But when I think of the terrifying face under the mask, I have no time to think about it.
When the surrounding crowd saw Qi Fangfang, they immediately took a step away from each other, and the area around the two of them seemed no longer crowded.
"Senior Sister Qi..." Lu Ye saluted.
The two chatted casually for a few words and walked slowly up the mountain.
Ordinarily, people would avoid Qi Fangfang's identity. Even Xiao Huanxi didn't like this disciple and never taught her any skills.
Lu Ye should also stay away from this person.
However, he was not popular with Xiao Huanxi. He was assigned to team up with Qi Fangfang on several missions. Therefore, after going back and forth, the two of them became more familiar with each other than ordinary people. They were better than just acquaintances. Half acquaintance. In addition, Lu Ye accidentally got the news that Qi Fangfang's ancestor was good at talismans, and later joined the Lingyun Sect and became the Keqing elder.
If he maintains this relationship, maybe it will be useful in the future?
A cultivator like Qi Fangfang who has a family tradition might be able to give him a surprise at some point.
Everyone entered the Taoist temple, but Deputy Sect Master Wu Feng could not leave in seclusion today.
The four elders presided over it, and there was nothing new in it. They just urged the disciples to practice diligently. Xiao Huanxi dropped a big news.
Because the two groups of disciples started one year apart, there is no essential difference in their cultivation, so the sect leader Mo Ruyan decided that the two groups of disciples before and after the Ten Year Competition would mix together before entering the secret realm. Assessment.
The first batch of outer sect disciples who died for various reasons were not counted as quotas, which means that after seven years, one person from each elder's sect must die.
Lu Ye and other outer disciples scolded the eighteenth generation of Mo Ruyan's ancestors in their hearts. They really don't treat people as human beings.
However, no one dared to object and say anything.
Tang Yijie came out to chatter a few words again. Although the words sounded nice, he probably meant to let the bulls and horses complete their daily tasks. The business in the market has been good recently.
Everyone must not fail in their daily practice, and the talismans, elixirs, etc. that should be supplied to the sect must also be provided.
It really makes the horse run faster and eat less grass.
It seems that this first-level Tang was knocked unconscious by Taoism and has become a black-hearted person.
The disciples looked at each other, feeling even more angry.
Lu Ye felt it was ridiculous.
Now that several years have passed, among the four elders, Tang Yijie, who was once a good man, has become the one with the worst character in the hearts of everyone.
Bu Laotong is an old pervert who harms the female disciples, and Xiao Huanxi is an old pervert who harms the male disciples.
On the contrary, Du Tuo Tuo, who had the most terrifying appearance and the cruelest attacks at the beginning, had the best reputation and turned against the wind, which is really unpredictable in the world.
Tang Yijie said again.
"Disciples, the sect provides you with benefits. Those of you who have enough learning ability, it is best to sell the talismans and elixirs that you have refined more to the sect."
"I know that some disciples are very good at it. He has a high score and is good at cultivating immortals, but he just doesn’t want to come forward, so he just sells it privately and sells it in shops in the market.”
“Some people even sell it to the black market! That black market is set up in the wilderness! , and there is not much patrolling and guarding force, and the people participating are mixed, including disciples of the seven sects, casual cultivators from Fangshi and even tribulation cultivators."
"Now there are scattered disciples of our seven families in Black Cave Mountain dying in the black market. Outside.”
"All disciples should take this as a warning and not end their path for a little profit. There is no such thing as regret medicine in this world."
"Furthermore, whoever dares to participate in the black market will be caught by the patrol. It’s a heavy punishment. The few spiritual stones you earned are not enough, so be careful and you will get nothing.”
A group of disciples bowed their heads, and many people disagreed.
The black market is dangerous, but it is also lucrative. All kinds of shady treasures with unknown origins can be sold there.
It can also prevent you from being exploited by sects and merchants. Everyone likes to go there.
As for being caught participating in the black market, it all depends on one's luck. Where can you get rich without taking risks?
Tang Yijie's already precarious reputation plummeted again.
After Tang Yijie chatted for a long time, he waved his sleeves to let everyone disperse.
All the disciples went to their masters one after another to do some exercises. The rules of the Xuanmo Sect were that even if they did not practice the master's kung fu, they must report in front of the master on the first day of every month.
Lu Ye and Qi Fangfang climbed over the back mountain and came to the Xiao Huanxi Cave and stood behind the disciples.
Although the two ranked high, everyone knew that Xiao Huanxi didn't like them, so they stood at the back every time.
After a while.
Xiao Huanxi slowly walked out with Gu Changqing in his hand.
She was still dressed in cool clothes, no change, and her face was much more rosy and pretty.
It just corresponds to Gu Changqing's pale face and deep bags under his eyes, which looks like he has had too much makeup.
Senior Brother Gu, who was once a tree in the wind, is now alone and thin, standing like an old pine. He has lost his vigor and seems to have become a different person in just two years.
All the disciples bowed their heads. Now everyone knows that the senior brother is in a high-risk position, and no one can envy him.
Gu Changqing's eyes swept across the crowd, and he stayed on the road for a moment longer, flashing a trace of resentment.
People do have illusions. If Lu Ye was still the senior brother in this position, maybe Gu Changqing would not be what he is today.
Xiao Huanxi coughed, glanced around, and frowned immediately when he saw Hua Ming.
Hua Ming, a middle-aged swordsman, had a straight face when he first arrived, and he had a sharp aura that could not be concealed even if a sword was unsheathed.
Now he looks similar to Gu Changqing, with dark circles under his eyes, a body like a willow tree, and excessive kidney deficiency.
"Hua Ming?" Xiao Huanxi glanced at him up and down and sneered, "What a talent!"
"As a sword cultivator, where is your sword?"
Hua Ming lowered his head deeply and did not dare to quibble, and there was a chuckle among the disciples.
Xiao Huanxi continued angrily.
“A disciple of the Xuanmo Sect was actually blocked by the shopkeeper of Chunfeng Tower at the mountain gate to ask for a romantic debt!”
“Even the protective magic sword was given to others as prostitution money!”< br>
“What else can you do?”
Hua Ming replied in a weak voice.
"Back to Master, my disciple has promised Fairy He that he will go to Chunfeng Tower to sell himself to pay off his debts when he has free time."
"The blocking of the mountain gate will never happen again."
All the disciples laughed even more. There was a sound.
Lu Yeye sighed, this Hua Ming is really a talent. Perhaps he felt that there was no hope of becoming a disciple of Xiao Huanxi. As long as he had Taoist skills in his pocket, he would go to Chunfeng Tower to sit and discuss Taoism every day.
Mountains of gold and silver cannot fill the invincible hole, and life has become what it is now.
Sure enough, Xiao Huanxi was furious.
“Get out!”
Hua Ming quickly got out of here.
Xiao Huanxi said angrily when he saw that all the disciples still had smiles on their faces.
"And you guys, get out..."
All the disciples took the opportunity and dispersed.
Lu Ye was running happily in his Dunguang, and Shu Chitu was chasing after him.
"Senior brother," he sent a message into the secret passage, "the black market opens in January. If you miss tonight, you will have to wait until next month. Can we go?"
Lu Yeyi Pat the thigh.
“Go, must go!”
night.
Two black figures walked along the path, down the mountain, around the mountain gate, and fled dozens of miles away to a valley.
A faint light suddenly appeared among the grass and rocks, and there were crowds of people, creating a lively scene.
The escape light descends.
Lu Ye and Shu Chitu both wore hooded cloaks and strode closer.
