Chapter Twenty-Five: The Ladder of Heaven
Along the way, Mu Qing's cultivation was not delayed, every day before going to bed, he would meditate cross-legged for an hour, absorb spiritual power into the body, and practice spells at the same time, however, whether it was Qingshan Town, where the Diao family was located, or in various places along this route, the intensity of spiritual energy was far from comparable to that of Lingmu Valley. It seems that those immortal cultivation sects have to find a treasure land with a strong aura as a base, which is absolutely reasonable.
But even so, under the guidance of the five spiritual roots, Mu Qing felt that his cultivation was also improving rapidly, like a wild horse that had escaped from the leash, and those refined spiritual powers traveled around the meridians in his body, not only making the meridians stronger, but also opening up the tricks that could not be reached by several spiritual powers before.
Moreover, this spiritual power is like fog and water, gradually converging in the knots, and eleven of the innate thirty-six main knots have been filled to the full, and one more filled will reach the peak of the early stage of enlightenment, and enter the middle stage of enlightenment.
At the same time, while cultivating, he carefully went through the battle with the gray-clothed man in his mind.
This was the first time he had really fought with a monk, and he had gained a lot.
First of all, he clearly realized that the time taken to mobilize different spells is different, such as his own Earth Escape Technique and Earth Claw Technique, if the activation of the Earth Claw Technique is between one suck, then the Earth Escape Technique needs to be sucked and a half, it seems that the greater the power of the spell, because the spiritual power required is greater, and the more tricks in the body are mobilized, so the slower it will be activated. However, the speed of activating the spell can be improved, and it is related to the divine sense, spiritual root, and the width of the meridians, and after many cultivations, his own earth escape technique is a little faster than before.
At the same time, I heard the old man in white say before that the more spiritual roots of the same attribute, the more spiritual power that can be mobilized at one time, and the greater the power of the spell, which he also has a deeper understanding after becoming a monk of the Five Elements Heavenly Spirit Root.
Secondly, in the process of releasing the spell, you can't call two spells at the same time, you can only put one first, and then put the other, if it's a continuous spell, you can release another one in the process of maintaining the spell with spiritual power, just like the previous war, he released the earth escape technique, maintained it with spiritual power, and then cast the earth claw technique, which is okay.
If you want to cast different spells at the same time, you have to use spirit runes like the man in gray.
Third, the attack range of the magic weapon controlled by the divine consciousness must be kept within the reach of the divine consciousness, and, the closer to himself, the smoother the control, the greater the power of the magic weapon, and the farther away the opposite, so although he can now release the divine consciousness more than ten zhang, but the best attack distance is still within the range of three zhang, out of the three zhang, the control of the magic weapon is sluggish, and he also used this to make the silver snake phantom sword of the man in gray fly.
Of course, I believe that this distance can also be increased as the cultivation increases.
Fourth, Mu Qing deeply felt the benefits of a strong physical body, just as the old man in white said, the physical body is his own life, even if his cultivation is high, if the physical body is not strong, he may be killed. If the physical body is cultivated into copper tendons and iron bones, and water and fire are inviolable, then it can be regarded as immortal and immortal.
In the days that followed, Mu Qing was in a hurry and cultivating while carefully reading the "Secret Compendium of Genius Earth Treasures" given by Yu Kun.
The book talks about the origin, function, and form of the genius treasures in this world, and some even indicate the usage, there are thousands of kinds, and they are also divided into four categories: legendary, peerless, rare, and ordinary. However, there was no mention of that kind of magical rootless spirit fruit in this book, and Mu Qing definitely classified it as a legend.
The last signature of the book is "Hermit", and it is not known how this senior collected this information.
Mu Qing simply can't put down this classic, and he also admires the predecessor of the golden-clawed rat clan, the "Fu Hermit".
The days flew by, and three months later, it was already early summer. The injuries on Mu Qing's body have long been healed, and his cultivation has also improved.
On this day, he and Qiu Lan finally came to the foot of Yunlan Mountain.
This Yunlan Mountain is not a mountain, but a rolling mountain range, north-south direction, because the mountain peak is towering, half of it is shrouded in clouds and mist, so the name Yunlan, especially the main peak Yunlan Peak, is like a sharp sword, straight into the clouds, unclimbable.
There is no road here, but there is a col between the two peaks, which stretches crookedly into the mountains, Mu Qing and Qiu Lan discussed, and then walked into the col.
The mountain road was rugged and uninhabited, and the two stumbled for most of the day, and finally came out of the mountain col and came to an open area surrounded by mountains.
To the surprise of the two, there was a small town in this place, which was still very prosperous, with large wooden houses scattered and scattered, forming several streets that were horizontal and vertical, and there were many large fields behind the town, and many people dressed as farmers were leading oxen and dragging plows, and were ploughing.
Qiu Lan said: "Brother Qing, didn't we go the wrong way?
Mu Qing scratched her head, also a little puzzled, and said, "Let's go and ask." Then he led the way to the town.
The two walked into the town, passed through the flow of people, found a teahouse and sat down, and saw that the business in this teahouse was quite deserted, and only a strong man in his forties was drinking in a corner.
Dr. Tea stepped forward with a smile on his face and said, "Two guest officers, what do you want to drink?" We have Yunlan Mountain's special Yunwu tea here, which is sweet and thirst-quenching, do you want to try it?"
Mu Qing didn't answer, but Qiu Lan took out a few copper plates and handed them over, saying, "Just a pot of cloud tea." ”
Dr. Tea agreed and was about to make tea, Qiu Lan spoke again: "Xiao Er, you said this is Yunlan Mountain?"
Dr. Tea turned back and said, "Yes! ”
"This is where the Yunlan Sect is located?" Qiu Lan asked again.
Dr. Tea smiled slightly and said, "Yes, the Yunlan Sect is here. ”
Mu Qing asked, "What about this town...... What's going on?"
Dr. Tea smiled again and said, "After seeing the two of them, they also went to the Yunlan Sect to seek immortals." ”
The two nodded.
Dr. Tea put on an unfathomable face, which meant that: Look, I guessed it! He continued: "Don't hide it from the two of you, everyone in this town has come to Yunlan Mountain to seek immortals! Including me!"
"Huh?" Mu Qing's eyes widened suddenly.
Dr. Cha's face was even more unfathomable, and he said: "Yunlan Sect is the number one immortal cultivation sect in my Lingzhou, as long as you have some understanding of the immortal cultivation world, who doesn't know the name of Yunlan Sect, many people come here every year, whether it is an enlightened spirit or not, it is called an endless stream,...... However, the Yunlan Sect is very strict in accepting disciples, which is why this town is born. ”
Speaking of this, he deliberately sold a pass, but stopped talking.
Mu Qing asked, "It is strictly natural for the Yunlan Sect to accept disciples, so what does that have to do with this town?"
Qiu Lan was much more experienced than Mu Qing, took out more than a dozen copper plates, and said, "Please also ask the second brother to tell us about it." ”
Dr. Cha turned out to be overjoyed, and said again: "The Yunlan Sect recruits new disciples at this time of year, that is, after ten days, there will be more people at that time." There was no such town here before, but I don't know when it started, some people who couldn't choose were reluctant to leave, hoping to take the test again in the next year, so they settled in this mountain col and opened up the wasteland, and later, there were more and more people, and gradually it became such a town, and everyone named this town Yunlan Town. ”
I see.
Mu Qing and Qiu Lan nodded one after another. Qiu Lan asked again: "Little Second Brother, what's the matter with the test you said?"
Dr. Tea said proudly: "I have also participated in this test, but I haven't passed the first level, and I don't know what will happen next, I know this first level, that is, to climb the Yunlan Ladder." ”
"Yunlan Heavenly Ladder?" Mu Qing wondered.
"That's right, it's the Yunlan Sky Ladder. At the foot of the main peak Yunlan Peak, a road up the mountain is carved along the mountain wall, this road is narrow and steep, the more you go up, the more difficult it is to walk, it is called the Yunlan Ladder, this is the first pass to go to the Yunlan Sect to apprentice. ”
Mu Qing and Qiu Lan nodded again, and Mu Qing asked again, "So you are also a spiritual cultivator?"
Dr. Nacha smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm not, but the guest officer doesn't know that the disciples of this Yunlan Sect are divided into three classes, the first class is the inner disciples, who have officially performed the apprenticeship ceremony, and the second class is the outer disciples, who are also spiritual monks. There are a lot of people in this town who walk outside the door. ”
Mu Qing was stunned, but he didn't understand, and asked, "If you don't open your spirit, what are you going to do in Yunlan Sect?"
Dr. Nacha was obviously a little surprised by Mu Qing's ignorance, and said: "This little brother, the monks of the Yunlan Sect also need to eat, dress, and also need miscellaneous labor, these outer door walkers are doing this, but although they are similar to miscellaneous labor, sometimes they will be rewarded with some pills for their excellent work, and even the best twenty people who do it every year will be rewarded with a spirit opening pill!"
Mu Qing finally understood, it was really a big sect, and it was so complicated to recruit disciples, and he also took out twenty Enlightenment Pills every year to reward these mortal disciples.
Dr. Tea saw that the two of them didn't ask any more questions, and went to the back kitchen to pour tea.
Mu Qing looked at Qiu Lan and said, "Since that Xiao Er said that the Yunlan Sect will open and accept disciples in two days, then let's try it, Sister Lan, you have such good qualifications, you must be favored at a glance." ”
Qiu Lan said: "You still have to pass the first level first!" But his face was solemn.
