Chapter Twenty-Seven: Apprenticeship

In the middle of summer, the weather is very hot, but the green pine view is still cool and breezy. Zhang Zhiping sat in the pavilion and enjoyed the summer scene, for three months, he broke through to the middle stage of Qi practice very smoothly yesterday, his heart was happy, and he didn't go to see other people, he first came to this pavilion in the lake, while enjoying the summer scene, while calming his mind, and soothing the annoyance caused by not going out for three months, he is indeed not a person who can become an ascetic.

In summer, the lake water is clear and rippling, surrounded by green trees, flowers are blooming, and the rich breath of life is vigorous, which makes Zhang Zhiping happy. Just as he was intoxicated by this beautiful scenery, he suddenly saw two strangers through the shade of the trees on the side of the road, and they felt slightly, respectively, with the strength of the late stage of Qi refining and the peak of the middle stage of Qi refining.

At this time, the person with a higher cultivation level also saw Zhang Zhiping in the lake, and glared at him sharply, and the monk next to him also found Zhang Zhiping and smiled kindly at him, and then the two ignored him, and Shi Shiran walked to the hall.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhiping thought in his heart, since his cultivation was so high, and he went directly to visit Yun Ming, then they should also be Yun Ming's disciples. Senior Brother Zhao Wouji has practiced Qi and cultivated to a higher level, so these two people should be the third senior brother Sun Youwei and the fourth senior brother Wu Xinming, the two often go together to complete the task of the Offering Pavilion, and they have also returned to Qingsong Temple a few times halfway, but because they have been in retreat for a long time, they always miss each other, but they have never seen these two people, this time it is a coincidence, they have just broken through the middle stage of Qi refining, and they came back.

Zhang Zhiping was not in the mood to continue to enjoy the scenery at this time, so he went to look for Zheng Changfa first. As soon as Zheng Changfa saw Zhang Zhiping, he immediately noticed that he had broken through, and immediately laughed, hugged Zhang Zhiping, and said loudly: "Haha, sixth junior brother, you can be regarded as your own person this time." ”

Zhang Zhiping watched in horror as a big fat man pounced on him, and was so frightened that he hurriedly dodged. Zheng Changfa smacked his lips, very dissatisfied that he didn't hug him.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhiping hurriedly shifted his attention and asked, "Senior Brother Zheng, what happened to the explosion in the first place?"

Zheng Changfa shook his head and said: "What can I do, with the master in charge here, how can I dare to make trouble? The ancestor of the Zhou family is also a waste, and he has not found any clues until today." ”

Zhang Zhiping breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, it seems that they have all paid attention to the guessed foundation building master, he should not be exposed, but before going to Qingsongmen, it is better not to make a random move. Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiping couldn't help but move in his heart, and said: "Just now I saw two monks going to the main hall to visit the master, it seems to be Senior Brother Sun and Senior Brother Wu. ”

Zheng Changfa was immediately a little displeased when he heard this, and said: "The third brother, that big rooster is back?" Senior Brother Zhang, let me tell you, the third child looks down on this and that all day long, and the fourth child has a good temperament, and follows him all day long. ”

Zheng Changfa took a few steps back and forth, and then said, "No, the third child keeps saying bad things about me in front of the master, I have to go and see." It just so happens that you have broken through the middle stage of Qi refining and reached the requirements of the master, and you can officially apprentice to the master, you go with me. ”

Zhang Zhiping had this intention, and it was better to determine the matter of apprenticeship as soon as possible, so the two immediately walked towards the main hall. After a while, he arrived at the door of the main hall, and before he entered the door, he heard a sentence: "Master, the second senior brother stays in the watch all day and does not go out, and he must have gained a lot of weight." ”

When Zheng Changfa heard this, his nose suddenly turned crooked, and he hurriedly ran in and shouted: "Okay, you Sun Youwei, you actually said bad things about me in front of the master again, and I am inseparable from you!"

Zhang Zhiping hurriedly followed in, and saw Zheng Changfa staring at Sun Youwei with wide eyes, wanting to rush over but afraid that the master was by his side; and Sun Youwei glared back at Zheng Changfa without showing weakness, posing as if he had the ability to come over; Wu Xinming snickered on the side, and even Yun Ming, who had always been serious, seemed to have a smile on his face at this time. Seeing Zhang Zhiping come in, Yun Ming coughed lightly and said solemnly: "Okay, your junior brother broke through the middle stage of qi refining, and you will worship under my door today, and you will lose face in front of your junior brother." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiping hurriedly knelt down in front of Yun Ming and said loudly: "Disciple Zhang Zhiping to see the master." After speaking, he kowtowed three times, he worshipped a lot of masters in order to learn, and he was very familiar with this set.

Seeing this, Yun Ming nodded with satisfaction and said, "Today, you officially worship under my door, and wait until half a year later to return to Qingsongmen with me to register, and you can come to my mansion to cultivate." ”

Zhang Zhiping was overjoyed when he heard this, and through Zheng Changfa's introduction, he knew that Qingsongmen was built on a small spiritual vein. The spiritual veins are full of spiritual energy, and the monks cultivate on it, which is equivalent to using spirit stones to cultivate every day, but the effect of cultivation is different in different places. The place where the disciples of the outer sect of Qingsong Gate gather belongs to the periphery of the spiritual vein, which is equivalent to using half an additional spirit stone to cultivate every day; the monks of the foundation building period, that is, the disciples of the true lineage, cultivate around the spiritual vein, which is equivalent to using one more spirit stone to cultivate; while the elder Jindan of Qingsong Gate cultivates inside the spiritual vein, which is equivalent to using three more spirit stones; and at the core of the spiritual vein, only the Qingsong Gate cultivates the highest, and the Qingsong Ancestor cultivates alone, which is equivalent to using ten more spirit stones to cultivate in a day.

The aura content of a low-grade spirit stone is about equivalent to the spiritual energy throughput of a monk in the early stage of qi cultivation, and the cultivation of a disciple of the outer sect of Qingsong Sect in the sect is equivalent to cultivating one more mana per day than others, plus he also uses spirit stones to cultivate, and his cultivation is naturally very fast. In fact, the average breakthrough age of the disciples of the Qingsong Sect in the foundation building period is about fifty years old, the average age of the disciples in the foundation building period is about eighty years old, and the rumored cultivation sects are about thirty-five years old. Of course, those family lineage descendants or those who have amazing adventures are special cases, so let's not talk about them for the time being.

If mined in moderation, the spirit stone can be obtained from the spirit vein in a steady stream, like the small spirit vein of Qingsongmen, you can get a large number of low-grade spirit stones and a small amount of medium-grade spirit stones every month.

The spirit stones produced by the spirit vein every month are more or less confidential among the various sects, but according to Zheng Changfa, the monthly output of spirit stones in many sects can only barely maintain the daily cultivation of their respective sects, and they also need to waste a lot of time making and selling the special products in the sect in order to allocate all the resources required by a monk.

Since the current head of the Qingsong Sect took office, he has vigorously reformed, streamlined his disciples, and raised the standard for recruiting disciples, which has made the monthly spiritual stone output of the sect slightly surplus, coupled with the sale of the special talismans of the sect, the Qingsong Sect can bear the standard resource allocation of each monk in the sect, so that the sect has been flourishing for nearly a hundred years. This sect can become the largest sect in the Five Kingdoms, one reason is that the Qingsong Ancestor who has beaten the invincible opponents in the Five Kingdoms, and the other reason is because there is a talented and strategic leader.

Zhang Zhiping worships Yun Ming as a teacher, it can be said that he has an excellent beginning of cultivating immortals, Zheng Changfa, Sun Youwei and Wu Xinming congratulated forward, Yun Ming took out a talisman and said: "Wait for you to get a sect ritual at the second child, this talisman is made by me personally, and it is sealed with a sword qi, which is equivalent to the full force of the Qi Cultivation Great Perfection Monk, and it will give you a life." "It is difficult for the talisman seal to preserve all the power, and the talisman that can preserve the power of the foundation building period is also very precious to Yunming, and it will not be given at will.

Zhang Zhiping hurriedly thanked him, and for a while the brothers were harmonious and happy, and after everyone gathered here for a while, they no longer disturbed Yunming's cultivation, and left separately.
