Chapter 7: Soul Sacrifice
Zhong Yue arrived at the Medicine Valley and received ten Feather Spirit Pills, then found the steward of the upper courtyard and moved into his own courtyard.
"This courtyard is a three-entry courtyard, the backyard is a resting place, the middle courtyard hall is a place to meet guests, there is a quiet room where you can visualize and cultivate, and the front courtyard is a place where slaves live. β
The steward led Zhong Yue to visit this courtyard, and said with a smile: "The noble children of some tribes bring more than a dozen slaves with them, serve them as they go, and concentrate on cultivation by themselves, so that the slaves can live in the front yard. The effect of this upper courtyard token is extraordinary, as long as the groove on the gate is placed, it can stimulate the totem pole in the courtyard, forming an invisible barrier to block the courtyard, and outsiders will not want to enter. If you want to remove the barrier, just take out the token. The token needs to be moistened with soul and spirit, so that no one else can take it out if it is placed in the groove. β
Zhong Yue's eyes lit up, this function of the Upper Courtyard Token was indeed intimate, although the disciples of the Upper Courtyard were only beginner disciples, they could not be disturbed by their daily cultivation, otherwise it would be easy to go mad.
With this token, no one else can come in, so there is no need to worry about being interfered with when it comes to cultivating at a critical juncture.
Moreover, if something important is placed in the courtyard, there is no need to worry about being stolen.
"Dare to ask, how do the disciples of the Upper Courtyard practice?" Zhong Yue asked.
The steward said with a smile: "Every introductory disciple who becomes an upper court will report to the Qi Refiners of the Sword Gate, and those Qi Refiners will come to select disciples, teach exercises, and teach cultivation. There are more than ten or twenty Upper Court disciples under each Qi Refiner, and in the future, these Upper Court disciples will become Qi Refiners, and their faces will also be bright. Junior disciple rest assured, as long as you pass the GuΓ² Bikong Hall assessment, it will take five or six days at most, and at least one or two days, and there will be Qi refiners who will come to take you under the door. β
"I see. Zhong Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
When the steward left, Zhong Yue immediately buckled the token to the gate, only to see the totem pillar in the courtyard buzzing and vibrating, sealing the courtyard. Zhong Yue carefully put down the medicine basket and took out the tattered copper lamp, the light flickered on and off, and the flame was still asleep.
"I don't know how long I'm going to sleep?"
He thought for a moment and took out a small jade bottle. The jade bottle opened, and a light medicinal fragrance came to the nose, and there were ten soybean-sized pills in the bottle, which were the Yu Ling Pill.
In the past, he had worked hard to collect and refine medicines, and it would take him months to gather all the medicinal materials, and it was still unknown whether he would succeed in refining them.
And now that he has become a disciple of the Upper Court, he has been given ten coins at once, and ten coins per month, which is a great wealth for Zhong Yue!
A feather spirit pill can make ordinary people as light as a swallow, infinitely powerful, without eating or drinking for half a month, even if the outer disciples of the Sword Sect take a feather spirit pill, they can also practice tirelessly for two or three days in a row, replenish the spirit, nourish the body, and nourish the soul!
Zhong Yue took a feather spirit pill, and immediately felt the surging medicinal power turn into pure energy pouring into his limbs, and he was extremely comfortable. His body was like a long-arid land, and the medicinal power of the Feather Spirit Pill was surging like a trickle of water to moisten his body, making his originally shriveled muscles slowly bulge, which was very wonderful.
It didn't take long for Zhong Yue to regain his former well-proportioned figure, his muscles were solid, and his body energy was replenished by the energy he had lost from cultivating the Fire Age Palace Suihuang Visualization Diagram.
He also felt that his spirit was also nourished, and the sea of knowledge in his mind set off microwaves, rattling and rattling.
Not only that, but his soul was also nourished by the power of medicine, which was very comfortable.
"The Feather Spirit Pill is really magical, I heard that some disciples from the Great Tribe can take this kind of Spirit Pill every day, no wonder these people are making rapid progress!
Zhong Yue immediately visualized the Suihuang of the Fire Age Palace, and the waves in the sea were surging, and he constructed the Suihuang, the Fire Age Palace, and the Fire Tree, and at the same time, his spiritual power began to be consumed rapidly, but because of the ingestion of the Feather Spirit Pill, the consumption of spiritual power was also constantly breeding.
After a long time, the medicinal power of the Feather Spirit Pill was exhausted, Zhong Yue immediately took another Spirit Pill and continued to cultivate, his sea of knowledge was constantly expanding, the old power of the spiritual power had just gone, and the new power came, making the sea of knowledge bigger and bigger, and the soul stronger and stronger!
Before he knew it, the medicinal power of the Feather Spirit Pill was exhausted again, and Zhong Yue took the third one.
One by one, the Feather Spirit Pill was swallowed by him, and he was silent in the wonder of visualization, and for the first time he felt that cultivation was no longer boring, but so interesting, so expectant!
"Huh, the Yu Ling Pill is gone?"
Zhong Yue woke up suddenly, looking at the empty jade bottle and was a little stunned, ten feather spirit pills, ordinary upper court disciples can only digest them in a month, and this time he cultivated, he unknowingly exhausted these feather spirit pills!
"It's only about four days, and in four days, the ten Feather Spirit Pills have been consumed......
Zhong Yue only felt that his head was a little big, cultivating this Fire Age Palace Suihuang Visualization Diagram was simply a bottomless pit, and he couldn't cultivate at all without sufficient financial resources!
"No wonder Xianhuo said that he can only eat panacea, if he eats whole grains, he will definitely empty his body and starve to death!"
Zhong Yue took a long breath, stood up, walked out of the quiet room, came to the backyard garden, gently stretched his muscles and bones, only to feel that his body was full of explosive power, and said in his heart: "Ten Feather Spirit Pills, four consecutive days of cultivation, I don't know if I can do soul sacrifice now?"
His mind moved slightly, his soul went out of his body, and in an instant, he attached himself to a stone pier weighing 100 catties in front of him.
Whewββ
The stone pier suddenly flew up and hovered in front of Zhong Yue, his soul attached to the stone pier, and the soul flew up and took the stone pier away, which was also a means for the disciples of the upper courtyard to fight, the stronger the soul, the heavier the things that could be carried.
Theoretically, if the soul is strong enough, it can even lift a mountain and fly through the sky, and even use it to destroy a city!
That's just theoretical, though.
Among the disciples of the Upper Academy, those who can afford to carry heavy objects are already considered to be the best, and carrying heavy objects as a means of attack is only the most superficial method. The disciples of the upper courtyard sacrifice the soul, often the soul into the weapon, the weapon is painted with totem patterns, once the weapon is sacrificed as fast as lightning, sharpening iron like mud, indestructible, extremely powerful!
Whew, whew, whew-
In the garden, Zhong Yue manipulated the stone pier to fly all over the sky, coming and going like the wind, up and down, suddenly the stone pier was out of control, and smashed on the rockery, the rockery as high as three or four zhang was smashed and broken, and half of the rockery fell into the water, which was amazing!
"The soul sacrifice in the sword gate has a unique technique, the soul sacrifice control sword, has its own swordsmanship, only by practicing those exercises, can the power of the soul sacrifice be brought into play, not like me to fight like this, and it will not get out of control. β
Zhong Yue pondered for a moment, and said in his heart: "If you want to master the mystery of soul sacrifice, someone must teach it, the steward of the upper courtyard said that the new disciples who have entered the upper courtyard will have a qi refiner who will come to teach them in person, and they will be included in the door, why has no one come to look for me in the past few days?"
He didn't think much about it, and then he let out a low sigh, visualizing the dragon totem around the body, only to see his spiritual power gushing out, turning into dragon scales and dragon claws, and gradually the dragon body appeared, becoming clearer and clearer, wrapped around his body!
Then, an extremely vicious Jiaolong dragon head slowly lifted from behind him, staring at the front viciously, and the two dragon claws clasped Zhong Yue's shoulders!
Zhong Yue only felt as if there was boundless power pouring into his arms!
And the dragon's two hind paws buckled his legs, making him feel as if he had the explosive power and speed of the dragon!
Zhong Yue looked at his hands and feet in disbelief, only to see a substantial dragon body wrapped around his arms, body, and legs, and even the dragon body was swimming slowly, while the dragon head behind him had long dragon whiskers hanging down, floating in front of him!
It was as if he was really entangled by a vicious dragon, and the dragon's power merged with his own power and became one!
"Jiaolong Totem Circumambulation Body Technique has cultivated to this level, I'm afraid that it has already reached the limit, right?" Zhong Yue muttered.
"It's early. β
Suddenly, the voice of the Flame Boy came, Zhong Yue was overjoyed, and saw a small flame floating out of the quiet room, with a disproportionate head with small arms and legs, and a head of fiery red hair, which was the Torch Boy in the bronze lamp.
"Your dragon totem is still far away, but you only got the skin of the dragon, but you didn't get its body, and you didn't get its god. β
The flame jumped on Zhong Yue, walked in from the mouth of the dragon he visualized, and walked along the dragon's body: "You see, your Jiaolong totem only has skin, no muscles and bones, no blood and muscles, and it has no shape and no flesh and bones, and can only burst out with a trace of real Jiaolong's strength." Your dragon totem doesn't have the real evil Jiao charm, it's still far away. If you want to cultivate this method of refining the body to the extreme, you have to catch a living evil dragon, study it slowly, find out its muscles, blood veins, muscle and bone structure, and charm, and then visualize. β
Zhong Yue smiled: "If I can capture a living evil dragon, do I still need to visualize it?"
"That's right. β
Xinhuo thought for a moment and agreed: "But if you are a pure-blooded Fuxi Divine Clan, let alone capture the Jiaolong, just the momentum blooming is enough to make it surrender, and you can study it." Huh, a lot of Fuxi Divine Clan's breath! Go, go, hurry up and wait for me to get out!"
Zhong Yue dissipated his spiritual power, and the Flame Boy immediately drilled into his eyebrows and thoughts, urging: "If I don't find a pure-blooded royal family and complete the inheritance of the Torch, I'm afraid that I will be extinguished." There are a lot of people here, maybe you can find a pure-blooded Fuxi Divine Clan!"
Zhong Yue took him out of the courtyard, only to see that many disciples of the upper courtyard had gone to the upper courtyard to pass the scriptures, it should be that there were qi refiners coming down from the mountain to teach the exercises.
"Why hasn't there been a Qi Refiner who has taken me under the sect so far?" Zhong Yue saw that several outer disciples who had passed the Bikong Hall assessment with him also rushed to the Transmission Pavilion, and he was even more puzzled in his heart.
The Flame Boy then peered out with his eyes, muttering, "Not pureblood, not pureblood, not pureblood...... What happened to the Fuxi Divine Clan? Among the thousands of people, they can't even find a pure-blood, so it's better for you! Let's go over there, there are so many people there, maybe you can find a pure-blood!"
Zhong Yue also wanted to go to the Sutra Pavilion and ask the person in charge why he didn't have a Qi Refiner to teach the exercises, but when he was about to approach the Scripture Pavilion, he suddenly saw two arcs of light flashing, and only heard two aggressive sounds, and the two totem poles landed beside Zhong Yue one after the other!
Suddenly, a pressure came from the two totem poles, pressing down on him hard, pinning him to the spot!
"Zhong Yue of the Zhongshan clan seems to have gained a lot of weight, and he almost didn't recognize it. β
A disciple of the upper courtyard walked over, looked Zhong Yue up and down, suddenly raised his leg and swept towards Zhong Yue's knees, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Zhong, we have no grievances and no hatred, and we have never met before, but you swept my master's face, and my master asked me to teach you a lesson or two." By the way, my master's surname is Tian. Kneel outside this pavilion for a few hours!"
