Chapter 68: Retreat and Practice
Spring goes to autumn, in the blink of an eye, Xiao Yan has been in the Soul Forging Hall for the second year, in the past two years, he has not done anything, he wakes up every day is to thread the needle, when he is tired of wearing, lie down on the needle to sleep, wake up and continue to get up and wear, even the line, Xiao Yan has already scrapped two large groups, I don't know how many threads, just buried in Xiao Yan's hands.
Day after day, year after year, Xiao Yan is quietly threading the needle every day, in the past two years of needle threading, Xiao Yan's strength has also been successfully improved from the middle of level 3 to the peak of level 3, but these days have also made Xiao Yan develop a bad habit, that is, the orchid finger, as soon as he sees the thread-like thing now, his hand unconsciously wants to go to the orchid finger.
Finally in the sixth month of the second year, Xiao Yan succeeded! He managed to thread all the needles in one yard in one day!
Looking at his results, Xiao Yan was very satisfied, after these days of threading the needle, his control of the strength of his hands and mental power had improved greatly, and he felt that if he was allowed to refine the pill again, his success rate would definitely be very high.
Although he successfully completed Ouyang Jin's task, he did not rush to Ouyang Jin to announce the good news like ordinary people, but calmed down, continued to lie down, and threaded the needle!
In the past two years, he has cultivated a calm heart, and also made his temperament more calm, just completing the assigned task is no longer enough to meet his ambitions, his goal is to exceed the quota!
After nearly a year of practice, Xiao Yan squeezed his speed to the point that he couldn't squeeze it anymore, and finally ended with four hours and two quarters, which was already his limit speed, at least this was his current extreme.
Xiao Yan slowly came to the door of Master Ouyang Jin, his hand had just been raised, and before he could knock on the door, he heard a sound,
"Come in!"
"Master!" Xiao Yan greeted respectfully.
"Mission accomplished?" Ouyang Jin said coldly.
"Yes, it's done."
"Well, you took a little shorter and longer than I expected, your four senior brothers, the longest only took two and a half years, the shortest only took more than a year, and you took nearly three years!" Ouyang Jin looked at Xiao Yan with a little regret and said, shaking his head incessantly.
"Your foundation doesn't look bad, and it can even be said that it's much better than your senior brothers, but why did you take so long?" Ouyang Jin said in a slightly stern tone.
"I ......" Xiao Yan just wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Ouyang Jin.
"I know, you entered my Soul Forging Hall as an outer disciple, I don't know what you think, you came to the Soul Forging Hall, it may be because of the "Tai Chi Bagua Fusion Technique" you said, or it may be because of other reasons, no matter what your reason is, since you have entered my Soul Forging Hall, there is no distinction between outer disciples and inner disciples, they are all my Ouyang Jin's closed disciples, and I treat everyone equally!
But you also have to work hard, and you can't be as lazy as before, otherwise, no matter how talented you are, I can expel you from the school!
Do you understand? ”
Ouyang Jin's sudden momentum startled Xiao Yan, in the mouth of Qinglong, Ouyang Jin was an old and disrespectful person, how could he suddenly become so serious, Xiao Yan didn't explain anything, just silently lowered his head, and replied in a low voice: "Got it." ”
Syllable!
Ouyang Jin slammed the table, and the mess on the table was scattered all over the ground, which also made Xiao Yan tremble.
"Louder!"
Xiao Yan immediately raised his head, straightened his chest, and shouted loudly: "Got it!" ”
"Hmm!" Ouyang Jin looked at Xiao Yan with a serious face, nodded with satisfaction, and continued, "You have learned the basic skills of the introductory, and you can learn to cultivate spiritual power next, do you know how to cultivate the most effective for spiritual power?" ”
Xiao Yan thought for a while and said: "For strength, combat is the fastest way to improve, and that spiritual power must also be continuously consumed in order to improve, and the faster it is consumed, the faster it will be improved." ”
"That's right! Therefore, in the initial stage of spiritual power cultivation, the best way is to refine the pill or refine the weapon. ”
"Alchemy? Refining? Xiao Yan thought it was to fight with spiritual power, but he didn't expect it to be alchemy and refining.
"Both alchemy and refining require a high concentration of spiritual power, and a distraction will be wasted, so you now have two choices, either choose alchemy or choose refining.
However, I advise you to choose refining, because I used to be a Taoist priest, but because I didn't have immortal fire, I embarked on the road of cultivating spiritual power, so you have to choose refining, and you can also tutor as a teacher, if you choose alchemy, then I can't do anything, everything has to rely on my own thinking. Ouyang Jin's tone was full of regret.
"Alchemy...... Can I choose both ...... refining weapon? Xiao Yan asked weakly.
"Of course...... Wait, what do you say? Do you want to choose both? Ouyang Jin asked in surprise.
Xiao Yan continued: "Yes, I have already learned a little bit of alchemy, I believe that I can continue, I am also interested in refining, and learning two at the same time is more helpful for the improvement of spiritual power, besides, I have the help of fake fire, I think it will be relatively easy to order both alchemy and refining." ”
"You still have a fake fire?"
Xiao Yan rubbed his ears that were almost deafening, and with a flick of his fingers, a wisp of flame appeared in the palm of his hand, and the blazing temperature seemed to melt the entire room.
Ouyang Jin looked at the flames in front of him, his eyes turned red all of a sudden, how many times he had tried, and finally almost died on it, but he still didn't succeed.
He also let the four apprentices try, but unfortunately it was not this material, after so many years, he had lost hope for that thing, but he didn't expect that in the twilight of his life, God also gave him an apprentice with fake fire, and more importantly, this apprentice is still a piece of jade, it is really heaven that will not kill him!
"Xiao Yan, from today onwards, don't go back, just here, I'll teach you hand in hand!" The flame in Ouyang Jin's heart was ignited by Xiao Yan, if it weren't for Xiao Yan's lack of strength now, he would have dragged Xiao Yan to study that thing a long time ago.
After that, Xiao Yan began a life of "dire straits".
Xiao Yan was under the supervision of Ouyang Jin every day, either alchemy or refining, and since Ouyang Jin knew that Xiao Yan could already refine some basic medicinal powders, he got some prescriptions and a large number of medicinal materials out of nowhere, so that Xiao Yan tried to practice in a different way every day.
In terms of refining, Xiao Yan never gave up, under Ouyang Jin's hand-in-hand teaching, the door had already entered, but the cultivation was still up to him.
These days, Xiao Yan alchemy during the day and refining weapons at night, and when he was tired, he went to the room specially prepared for Xiao Yan by his teacher Ouyang Jin to rest for a while.
This room is said to be Ouyang Jin's treasure, the immortal aura inside is extremely strong, one day of cultivation in it is equivalent to five days of cultivation outside, how many elders of Yunding Sect want to borrow it, he refused, even his four disciples have not come a few times, only if they have made great contributions, he will make an exception and let them practice here for a day! It's just one day! And now he is lending it to Xiao Yan indefinitely, which shows how much he attaches importance to Xiao Yan.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, another two years have passed for Xiao Yan in such a high-pressure retreat.
One day, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, the fairy energy in the air was rioting, and a lightning bolt pierced the sky.
"Which Dan Daoist is refining the elixir? Looking at this situation, it should be the lowest dec level. ”
(The elixir level is divided into ten levels, namely Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Ji Grade, Geng Grade, Xin Grade, Non Grade and Dec Grade, the lowest Grade and the highest Grade A.) )
"Looking at the location where the lightning fell, it doesn't look like it's in the Alchemy Hall, it's so remote, it looks like a place in the Soul Forging Hall!"
"Hehe, Soul Forging Hall? That's impossible, it is estimated that the children of the Alchemy Hall went there to refine the Dan without permission, and it is definitely impossible to be the children of the Soul Forging Hall! ”
Just when people were speculating about which Dan Daoist was refining in such a remote place, something strange appeared in the sky.
In the dark clouds, as if the clouds had touched something terrible, they slowly gathered to one side, and the lightning was still going on on one side, and on the other side, the sun was shining, and I saw another sun appear in the sky!
A fireball shot out of the sun and fell from the sky and smashed into the ground!
"Oh? This is the phenomenon of the birth of a level-destroying weapon, but how can it be crowded together with the cloud of alchemy before? ”
"What a spectacular scene, could it be that the Dan Daoist and the Instrument Daoist are practicing in one place at the same time? That's too much of a coincidence, isn't it? ”
People's attention was drawn to this sky vision, and they were all discussing the reason for this phenomenon, and in a palace not far away, a gray-haired man was also attracted by this sky vision.
"The country is waiting for someone to come out! This breath, this technique, what a talent......"
