I saw Elder Peony sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed, and a light gauze curtain hung on the edge of the wooden bed, through which the graceful figure of this woman could be vaguely seen.

"Elder Du's divine sense is not ordinary, but have you ever cultivated some kind of secret technique?" Elder Peony opened his eyes and asked with a hint of surprise.

"In his early years, the younger generation practiced a technique called the Soul Devouring Technique, and this exercise had some amplifying effect on the divine consciousness. Du Fan just groaned for a while, and then admitted it truthfully.

"Soul Devouring Technique, if the concubine is not mistaken, it is an extremely advanced ghost path technique.

Although after the cultivation of this technique is completed, it will improve the divine consciousness a lot, and it can also plunder the divine consciousness of others for its own use, but this exercise is extremely difficult to cultivate, and after it is used on others, there will also be a lot of hidden dangers.

If it is not necessary, it is better for Elder Du not to cultivate in the future, by the way, I don't know how many layers Elder Du has cultivated?" Elder Peony couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, and said slowly.

"There is such a thing, oh, the junior has cultivated to the seventh layer, I don't know what is wrong with this exercise? Du Fan was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't hide anything, and said calmly.

"Seventh layer, you didn't deceive me, did you?" Hearing this, the peony fairy's face changed, and she looked at Du Fan with a hint of suspicion.

"How can the younger generation lie in this matter, it is indeed the seventh layer that is not false. Du Fan was stunned, and he didn't know why.

"The difficulty of cultivating this exercise is extraordinary, and it seems that Elder Du is very talented in the art of ghost paths. The Peony Fairy swept Du Fan and basically determined the authenticity of the other party's words.

"Actually, if you talk about hidden dangers, it's not that you can't avoid it, as long as you don't perform this technique on people before the ten layers of this exercise are completed, it should be fine.

If Elder Du really has this cultivation talent, the concubine body still recommends that you cultivate it in a short period of time, but this exercise is indeed a bit mysterious and unpredictable, even after the completion of the cultivation, try not to use it on people. ”

While Elder Peony was surprised in his heart, he also explained to him in detail the benefits and disadvantages and the places that need to be paid attention to.

But it can be heard from her words that she doesn't know much about the practice of "Soul Devouring Technique".

"I see, the younger generation, thank you for the peony seniors. Du Fan showed a little thoughtfulness when he heard this, and immediately arched his hand to the woman, and hurriedly thanked him.

"It's nothing, the concubine is just by the way, the purpose of sending someone to bring Elder Du here this time, I think you can also guess a thing or two, from now on, I will accept you as a registered disciple, responsible for preaching and solving your doubts.

However, Elder Du's identity is special, and the concubine body only teaches you the method of cultivation, so you and I don't have to be commensurate with master and apprentice, let alone give me a great gift of master and apprentice.

There is a jade slip on the wooden table, your previous cultivation exercises can be abandoned, this jade slip records a set of high-level cultivation exercises for the water attribute of the Qi refining period, as well as the relevant spells that can be cast in the realm of the Qi refining period.

You take it back and study it first, and if you have any problems with your cultivation, you can come to me at any time, and you don't have to be taboo. ”

Elder Peony smiled gently at Du Fan and said to him very politely.

Du Fan swept his eyes, and indeed found a white jade slip with a large bowl on the wooden table on the side, and immediately felt happy in his heart, and hugged his fist at Elder Peony and said, "So the juniors thank Elder Peony a lot." ”

Du Fan didn't insist on calling the other party Master, but he also changed his words slightly, calling him Elder Peony, and then he carefully put away the jade slip.

"Elder Du is in his daily cultivation, but if he has any confusion, now he might as well talk about it, if the concubine has some experience in this area, she will definitely teach it. Elder Peony nodded, groaned slightly, and then said.

"As for the confusion in cultivation, there are really some of them.

Although the younger generation's cultivation is not high, only the second layer of the Qi Refining Period, after all, he has broken through the small realm in the Qi Refining Period twice, and after each breakthrough, his cultivation will stagnate for a period of time.

Even if a large amount of pills are refined, the cultivation is still not allowed to advance, but the mana can be thickened, I don't know if this phenomenon encountered by the younger generation is normal?"

Du Fan didn't hesitate when he heard this, and immediately asked what made him the most depressed in his cultivation, if it weren't for the gap period after the breakthrough, his cultivation speed would have increased a lot, relying on the Qi refining essential oil, maybe he would have advanced to the third level of the Qi Refining Period by now.

"Hehe, it turns out that this is the case, Elder Du doesn't have to worry, the period of cultivation you said is called the period of stability, as long as you are a cultivator, after the realm breakthrough, everyone will encounter it.

When you are in the stable period, taking pills as a method of improving your cultivation with external objects will not have much effect, and only by relying on your own meditation and absorbing the aura of the weather will it help to shorten the stable period.

Of course, there is always a time limit for the stabilization period, and if you don't breathe in the weather aura at all during this period, after a period of time, the stabilization period will naturally transition away.

In addition, the length of the stability period is directly related to the cultivation realm, and the higher the cultivation realm, the longer the stability period will be encountered after the breakthrough.

However, the pills taken during the stabilization period are not completely useless, and when the stabilization period passes, the mana transformed by the previous pills will be directly converted into part of their own cultivation.

Although it is impossible to transform ten percent, this kind of mana is a lot more refined, and the increased cultivation is naturally condensed and abnormal, which is also an opportunity to purify the power of cultivation. ”

After Elder Peony smiled, he told Du Fan in detail, which benefited Du Fan a lot.

"I see, Elder Peony's words have made the younger generations feel a lot more at ease, and they have gained a lot from it.

For the cultivation here, the juniors have no doubts for the time being, but I still don't understand some things in the cultivation realm, and at the same time I am very curious, if it is convenient for Elder Peony, please also solve the doubts for the juniors. ”

When Du Fan heard this, he suddenly realized that his heart was as enlightened as an enlightenment, and when he was overjoyed, he thought of another thing, so he said without hesitation.

"Oh, what is it, Elder Du might as well speak bluntly. Elder Peony raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said very simply.

"In the cultivation realm, the division of levels between sects seems to be very complicated, there are both sects, sects, and sects, I don't know what is important in this?" Du Fan's eyes flashed, and he immediately asked.

"For this matter, only those who are qualified to contact it when they have reached the Jindan stage, it is normal for Elder Du not to understand, since you are very interested in this, it doesn't hurt for the concubine to say one or two.

As long as the cultivation reaches the Jindan stage, you can start a sect, but if the highest cultivation in a sect is only a Jindan stage cultivator, then the sect can only be defined as a small sect, that is, the name of the sect ends with the word 'faction'.

If a sect has a great power in the early stage of the Yuan Infant, then the sect will be defined as a medium-sized sect, that is, the name of the sect ends with the word 'door'.

The Kongsang Sect where Elder Du was located before was among them, and among the small northern states such as Qingzhou, a medium-sized sect could be regarded as a large force.

When there are three cultivators in a sect in the middle of the Yuan Infant, or there is a powerful cultivator in the late Yuan Infant period, it will be designated as a large sect, and the ancestor of your Qingzhou Phantom Cloud Sect is a predecessor in the late Yuan Infant Stage, so this sect is defined as a large sect, and the name of the large sect of course ends with 'Zong'. ”

The peony fairy thought about it for a while, and then said slowly, for the division and conditions of the sect's ranks, the description is quite detailed, which made Du Fan instantly understand.

"The hierarchical division of the Xiuzhen Sect turned out to be like this, and the name of our Qixia Sect also ended with the word 'Zong', but the Qixia Sect doesn't seem to be as simple as a large sect, this ......"

Du Fan nodded frequently when he listened, but Elder Peony didn't continue, and when he heard Du Fan, who was rising, he naturally asked again.

"Of course, the Qixia Sect is not an ordinary large-scale sect, but a super sect, and the definition conditions of the super sect are relatively harsh, and there need to be three late Yuan Infant monks or one Yuan Infant Great Perfection monk.

Whether it is the monk of the late Yuan Infant or the Great Perfection of the Yuan Infant, there are very few existences on the Kyushu Continent, and each of them is a real power that can run rampant on the continent, and his cultivation is earth-shattering, almost the most in this realm.

Therefore, there are only four super sects in the entire Kyushu continent, with Zhongzhou accounting for three of them, and Wanzhou in the west accounting for one. Elder Peony hesitated at first, but finally said it truthfully.

"Sure enough!" Du Fan's heart moved when he heard this.

"Thank you Elder Peony for telling me, juniors here, there is no doubt. Du Fan bowed with his fists and said slightly respectfully.

"Okay, by the way, although Elder Du is said to be an honorary elder of the Qixia Sect, he is actually no different from a real elder, so you can receive an elder-level monthly salary and other benefits at the Sect Elder Hall.

There are elders' halls on the top of the five peaks, and it is the same wherever you receive them, but the treatment of Qixia Sect is still worse than that of the Seven Star Business Alliance, so Elder Du should not be too disappointed when he arrives.

If Elder Du has no other questions, he can do it himself. Elder Peony nodded, and kindly reminded him.

"How can the juniors have such thoughts, thank you Elder Peony for reminding me, the juniors have taken their leave first. ”

Du Fan bowed slightly, and left the courtyard where Elder Peony lived.

Being able to get double treatment from two transcendent forces at the same time couldn't help but make Du Fan very excited, such a good thing, he naturally wouldn't be polite.

After some inquiry, he learned that the Hall of Elders of Nanfeng was located in the mountainside area, which was not too far from where he was at this time, so he went there directly.

When he stepped into a seemingly ordinary hall, he was greeted by an extremely empty hall.

There were only four people in the hall at this point, talking to each other in a counter-like place, three of them standing outside the counter, and the last person inside the counter.
