Chapter 283 Ancient Spirit
Xiao Jie thought that this evaluation was not very good, but when he thought about it, it was not completely unreasonable. Judging from his experience, the immortals were somewhat disrespectful. The feeling of people watching.
Whether it is Kaiyang Xingjun, Tianxuan Zhenren, or Shenjizi, according to what they mean, immortals and mortals are two existences on completely different levels. Therefore, for immortals, once they become immortals, mortals Just like ants, life and death no longer matter.
But he doesn't think there is anything strange about this kind of thing. Immortals and immortals are also human beings in essence. They have just gained extraordinary power, and they naturally cannot get rid of human characteristics in their mind.
In reality, let alone becoming an immortal or attaining enlightenment, there are many examples of husbands and wives turning against each other even if they accidentally win the lottery.
It is normal for friends who played together when they were children to become strangers once their social status increases as adults.
Kaiyang Xingjun and Master Xiaoyue seemed to be good friends, but after becoming immortals, they never saw their old friends again. To put it bluntly, they were no longer in the same world.
If I became an immortal, would I have this mentality?
Xiao Jie thinks it won’t happen in a short time, but if it takes a long time, it’s hard to say what will happen.
And judging from Xiao Jie's experience, there are still some immortals who can do things, such as Lin Xuance, the real man who swayed the devil.
He suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but smile slightly and said: "You can't say that. Aren't those three volumes of heavenly books handed down by immortals? It can be seen that people and immortals all have different personalities and temperaments, and they are not the same. .
The changes brought about by an immortal doing good deeds are earth-shaking, how can it be said that it is not beneficial to the Dao? "
Ying Baiyu was startled by this question, but he did not answer this question. Unexpectedly, I was speechless for a moment.
Xiao Jie said again: "You learned about Qi Refiners from books. Where did the books come from? Of course they were compiled by people, and as long as they are people, they will have a stand. There will be personal preferences. I am afraid that the words in the book were not arranged by Master Xiaoyue. "
Master Xiaoyue was abandoned by Kaiyang Xingjun, so he naturally felt resentful and arranged these arrangements for Qi training in the elementary school textbooks? The content of the book is quite normal.
Ying Baiyu looked confused when he was told that, and it was obvious that his outlook on life had been greatly impacted.
Xiao Jie chuckled, stopped talking, and concentrated on looking for what he was looking for.
The task requires exploring the ruins, and the reward is three Qi Refining Secret Techniques. In other words, these three Qi Refining Secret Techniques are likely to be hidden somewhere in the valley, most likely in a secret location. .
After wandering around the valley, a huge cave finally appeared in front of us.
As expected, the training places that this Qi Refiner found always had caves.
Xiao Jie walked towards the cave. What surprised him was that there was no forbidden test at the entrance of the cave. This was much easier than in the Tianpu Cave in Kanglao Mountain.
Could it be that finding the ruins is a test in itself? It's quite possible. If I hadn't cheated and found a BOSS to fly over and explore on the ground normally, I would have encountered many crises along the way.
However, he still remained on guard, unprepared for the presence of someone similar to Hongchen Zhenren here.
Walk along the cave and not far away, you will come to an empty cave.
This is a huge cave with many hanging upside down on the roof. Stalactite pillars.
A corpse suddenly appeared in front of him.
The linen robe on the corpse was in tatters, but it still maintained a posture of sitting cross-legged and meditating.
Looking around, there are more than ten corpses sitting or lying, most of them are wearing linen robes, with disheveled hair and withered bones.
It looks like they are all the bodies of those Qi refiners.
Surrounded by this group of corpses, there stood a stone tablet, about two meters high. The stone tablet was square, with a dark and smooth surface, no words or paintings. Surrounded by such a group of skeletons, it looked like It's like a tombstone without any words.
These corpses surrounded the stone tablet, with their faces facing the stone tablet, and they seemed to be comprehending the contents on the stone tablet.
I just don’t know why they all died.
A strong alarm arose in Xiao Jie's heart. If this kind of scene was not handled properly, a battle would be triggered unpreparedly.
He summoned Daju first. During this time, he has gained experience and has risen to level 17. After all, he is also a monster and can provide a certain amount of combat power. If there is a battle, every ounce of strength will be taken away. All are precious.
Having Ying Baiyu and Da Ju on guard, Xiao Jie stepped forward cautiously and right-clicked on the stone tablet.
[System prompt: A plain black stone tablet, there seems to be nothing special about it. 】
Xiao Jie thought to himself that this prompt was the biggest special thing. If it was really nothing special, there would be no reaction at all when the mouse clicks on it.
Now it seems that this thing must have something to say. Is it necessary? Some specific conditions can trigger the answer.
He didn't dare to try easily. He looked at the corpses around him. So many Qi Refiners didn't realize the reason until they died. He couldn't mess around. Who knew that the death of these Qi Refiners had something to do with this? Is there any connection between the stone tablets?
He wandered around again, but there was no other way out around the cave, and he didn't see any carvings on the walls.
This is a bit strange. How to learn the three secret techniques of refining qi?
Xiao Jie clicked on the skill bar and took a look at Corpse Whisper.
Should I wake up a body and ask?
Just as he was about to cast the spell, a faint voice suddenly came from behind him.
“Little brother, don’t disturb the deceased, just ask me if you have anything to say.”
Xiao Jie was startled. When he turned around, he saw a white figure looking at him indifferently.
Ancient Spirit (the spiritual body of the Qi Master): Level 52. HP 871/3600.
Xiao Jie immediately took a few steps back and retreated behind Ying Baiyu.
However, he immediately discovered that the ancient spirit was not hostile, and the system displayed it as a neutral unit.
“Who are you?”
"I am the spirit body transformed by the ancient Qi Refiner after his death."
"Didn't the ancient Qi Refiner have no soul?"
"Only after the golden elixir is completed, the soul will be integrated into the gold." It will no longer appear in the elixir. When I die, the golden elixir will not be completed, so the spirit body will be left behind.” By transforming into aura, the body and soul are transformed by the aura, so after death they will not turn into ghosts, but will turn into something like mountain elves and monsters.
Neither gods nor ghosts, neither life nor death. If you insist on finding something closer, it is probably similar to a sword spirit. However, the ancient spirits are ultimately the product of failed Qi refining. Due to the original body The Qi machine has been cut off, and the ancient spirits can no longer have any possibility of transcendence, and will only gradually die out over time.
"I have been wandering in this cave for more than two thousand years. It is really rare to see the descendants now. If you have anything to ask, just ask me. I will definitely tell you everything."
Xiao Jie thought that this was very convenient. It seemed that this professional mission was just to find the ruins.
"Are you the only one here?"
"Yes, the other ancient spirits left because they couldn't bear the fate of their doomed demise." The tone of the ancient spirit was quite For being lonely.
Leaving nature means death. There is still thin spiritual energy left here that allows the ancient spirits to preserve their form and delay their demise. Once they leave Xuanming Mountain, they will dissipate at twice the speed. It is estimated that those who leave All gone.
"Can you tell me what your dharma name was when you were alive?" The ancient spirit shook his head, "Since I turned into a spirit body, my memory has gradually been lost. Over the past two thousand years, many things have been forgotten. There is no way to mention it.”
“What’s going on with that stone tablet?”
The ancient spirit looked at the stone tablet and said calmly. It was not something extraordinary, it was just a stone that fell from the sky. At that time, the sky collapsed and the spiritual energy collapsed. I and other qigong practitioners gradually felt that there was no hope of becoming immortals, so we placed our hope on heretics and found many weird and strange things.
This extraterrestrial stone tablet is one of them, but after hundreds of years of research, I found nothing, and even before I died, I couldn't understand anything. .”
Stone tablet outside the sky? This was strange. Xiao Jie came up to take a closer look. Ying Baiyu also came up to watch. Naturally, he couldn't see anything. Even Da Ju came up and even licked the stone.
Xiao Jie looked at the stone tablet, but he didn't really expect to see anything. These Qigong practitioners have been studying for hundreds of years and haven't figured out how he could succeed so easily.
It wouldn’t matter if it were another game. Everything in this game operates according to real logic to a certain extent. In other words, if this stone tablet has any secrets, it is definitely true. It cannot be thoroughly studied in a hundred years.
The ancient spirit suddenly felt something and asked: "Are you also a Qi Refiner?"
"Yes."
"I didn't expect that there are qi refining practitioners today, really... haha? Are you here to find the secret of qi refining? Or are you looking for a paradise filled with spiritual energy? If so, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. As you can see, this mysterious The achievements of the Qi practitioners in Mingshan are limited, not even one has become an immortal, and their spiritual energy has been lost long ago. It's just a little better outside.
If you want to refine your Qi here, I'm afraid you'll have to make a fortune. "
Xiao Jie explained: "That's not the case. I came here to learn some secret techniques of refining Qi."
The ancient spirit was immediately relieved after hearing this, "Hehe. Have you finally accepted your fate? It’s better to learn a few secret techniques of Qi refining and spend a hundred or so years in vain. If you want to learn this useless technique, why not teach you.”
Xiao Jie naturally knows why the other party said this. The secret technique of qi refining consumes spiritual energy, and spiritual energy is a vital thing for a qi refining practitioner. Therefore, the secret technique of qi refining, to put it bluntly, It's a very useless spell.
It is equivalent to a krypton life skill. The more you use it, the lower your cultivation level will be. If you use it, you will be useless. Let alone become an immortal, I am afraid that you will not be able to maintain your original state.
Therefore, few Qi masters will specialize in this. After all, the more you use it, the lower your level will be. If you want to become an immortal, you don't dare to waste this spiritual energy.
"Thank you, senior."
"I can teach you, but listen to my advice, if you really want to be a great person, you must not abuse this secret technique of refining qi, otherwise There is no possibility of becoming an immortal anymore. My Xuanming Mountain lineage has wasted too much energy on the secret technique of refining qi, so that I have not been able to cultivate the great path. Alas, this is really helpless. There are many monsters and beasts around Xuanming Mountain. If Without a few secret techniques to protect my life, it is really difficult to be safe.
I think from the moment I chose this blessed land to practice, the fate of my Xuanming Mountain lineage was already a foregone conclusion.
Alas, let’s not talk about it anymore. Little brother, there are three ways to practice the secret art of qi refining in my Xuanming Mountain lineage. You can choose one to practice. "
Why choose one of three again... Xiao Jie began to think that the designer of this game has obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"Can't they all be taught? "
"If it doesn't work, if you teach it all, it will harm you. You don't have much spiritual energy in the first place. You can just learn a few secret techniques to protect yourself. How can you learn more? Besides, it’s hard to bite off more than you can chew. These three secret techniques are completely different. If they are practiced together, they will inevitably affect each other and will be difficult to succeed. It’s useless to say more, so make your choice quickly. ”
An option box popped up in front of Xiao Jie’s eyes.
System prompt: Please select the secret method of qi refining you want to practice.
Option 1: The Secret of Healing. The secret technique of using spiritual energy to heal wounds, remove toxins from diseases, and strengthen the physical body.
Option 2: Secret techniques of offense and defense. The secret technique of using spiritual energy to transform swords and armors for offensive and defensive defense.
Option 3: The secret of inspiration. The secret technique of sensing the aura in the enemy's body and manipulating it to cast spells on the enemy.
Xiao Jie looked at the introduction of these three secret techniques and thought about it carefully.
The first door is purely for auxiliary treatment. This door is definitely the most valuable in reality. The only problem is that there is no way to directly improve combat effectiveness. It would be good if you take the auxiliary route.
The second door looks good. The aura transforms into swords, armors, etc., which is very helpful during battles. The problem is that this aura cannot be used as a consumable. Besides, I do not lack attack methods. Swords Armor or something.
The third door should be a secret technique that inflicts negative status on the enemy. This door may not be of much use at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, it is the biggest benefit for Xiao Jie to improve his current strength.
I don’t lack damage skills, and I don’t lack recovery methods. In a true master’s duel, success or failure is often determined by the strength of both parties.
Whether you are dealing with a BOSS or fighting other players, it will be much easier if you can give the enemy a few DEBUFFs first.
"I choose the third door, the secret art of inspiration."
"That's it - I'm optimistic about it."
The ancient spirit waved his hand, and immediately appeared on the stone wall behind him. Lines of white light writing came.
Xiao Jie hurriedly right-clicked and studied.
System prompt: You have learned the secret techniques of qi refining - qi exhaustion technique, decay technique, and heavenly tribulation technique.
