Chapter 15: Meeting
The vortex formed in the body continued to rotate and grow rapidly, opening up the spiritual space little by little at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
When the aura is exhausted and the wind whirlpool disappears, this practice will be over.
Tang Zheng felt the spiritual space carefully, and knew that the Dao could store almost eighty drops of spiritual liquid, and it was getting closer and closer to the spiritual spring.
The size of the week is gradually stronger with the proficiency and their own strength, and the speed of operation is getting faster and faster, otherwise according to the basic speed, ten thousand drops into the sea, and it will not be possible to reach the Linghai level for decades.
Tang Zheng is now gradually proficient in the operation of Zhou Tian, and his sense of qi is getting better and better, and it is already feasible for six or seven big Zhou Tian in one night, at this rate, at most, in another ten days, he should be able to achieve Lingquan.
According to the standard process of the Moon Washing Academy, it is normal to open the spiritual eye in two months.
After that, he entered the Lingquan for six months, the Linghu Lake for one and a half years, the Linghai for four and a half years, and the remaining two years for a total of eight years.
According to the ten-fold difference between springs, lakes, and seas, it is basically a tenfold increase in the standard of each level, a threefold increase in cultivation speed, and a threefold increase in time, so that you can just catch up with the progress.
For most students, as they become more and more proficient, it is not difficult to triple the speed of Zhou Tian's operation at each stage, but the problem is that the Lingtai Realm has to improve the mental method once every stage, and there will be new changes, which makes students often just familiar with a cultivation method, and they have to relearn the new Zhou Tian operation method, and the difficulty suddenly increases.
Although the new operation method is also carried out on the basis of the old, there will always be many difficulties that will delay the entry into the country.
It is precisely because of this that this cultivation standard process is actually based on the four transformations.
If it is the ninth turn, it can achieve the Great Perfection of the Spiritual Sea in three or four years at the earliest.
If it is three turns, then it is just stepping on the danger line, and it would be good to be able to get out of the ordinary within ten years.
The ten-year rule of the Moon Washing Academy is here, to ensure that the students of the third transfer still have a great chance to enter the extraordinary, of course, no matter how bad the qualifications are, there is really no way, they can only rely on their own efforts and luck.
Tang Zheng has only been in school for three months now, relying on the help of the Tibetan Elephant Sutra, he has actually rushed to the forefront in terms of speed, but he does not have so many resources to assist, so it should be regarded as the end of the first sequence, others can go to the spiritual spring in two months, and he is about ten days more.
At this rate, it is not realistic for him to complete the Linghai within three years, but within four to five years, it will definitely be no problem to achieve the Linghai.
Seeing that the remaining time was no longer enough to support a big week before dinner, Tang Zai got up and practiced swordsmanship again, and became proficient in the use of the water light mask.
Compared with the 12 styles of the vertical sword, the practice of the water light mask is much more troublesome.
Spells usually consist of two phases.
The first is the qi in the body.
The second is the traction of the law.
By directing the aura to operate in the body, the cultivator changes, such as arranging the formation pattern, secretly merging the avenue, so that it has all kinds of incredible magical abilities, which is to "become the Dharma" or "practice the Dharma".
When the practice is completed, it is necessary to use it according to one's own mind, to draw the Dharma out of the body, and then to make it act according to one's heart. In the end, if you condense an air arrow, just throw it and forget it, this stage is called "introduction".
Forming a method requires qi, just like Zhou Tian, different spells have different qi needs.
Citations require spells, and different spells have different recipe requirements.
For new scholars, forming a spell is the most painful thing, after all, to control the aura circuit and perform it according to the law, a spell is like a design drawing, and it takes a lot of brainpower just to memorize it. In contrast, on the contrary, the magic trick is much simpler, and it is nothing more than a few command tricks, and the matter of making the spell act according to one's own heart has great commonality.
For veteran cultivators, the opposite is true. They have already gone through the most difficult environment of forming a spell, and after they are proficient enough, the formation of a spell is like Zhou Tian, and the generation of spells is often a matter of breathing. On the contrary, it is difficult to compress the trick of the introduction, and the most important thing is that the trick cannot be hidden during the battle, and often the other party can roughly know what you want to do as soon as the other party sees what trick you pinch.
As a beginner, Tang Zheng is now facing the problem of becoming a law.
Before this water light mask is formed, it is necessary to consume the spiritual liquid, turn the liquid into qi, make it run in the body according to the established line, and then pinch the magic method to guide it out, each step is quite troublesome, and it takes a lot of tempering to use it freely.
To put it bluntly, whether it is a big week, a small week, or a technique, they all need to be mastered through long-term hard practice.
It's just that the proficiency of the spell increases the casting speed, and the power of the spell depends on each person's realm, qualifications, weapons, cultivation foundation and the spell itself, plus at most one casting integrity.
What's worse is that due to the limited mana, it is impossible to practice spells at will, and eighty drops of spiritual liquid are only enough to release the water light shield eight times. And with Tang Tribulation's current Xiao Zhou Tian's running speed, and the efficiency of condensing five drops of spiritual liquid at a time, Tang Tribulation could only recover one hundred and twenty drops in twelve hours, so he could only practice twelve times a day, not taking into account the inability to cultivate in these twelve hours.
And this is something that can't even be helped by the Tibetan Elephant Sutra, so you can only cherish every opportunity by yourself.
At this moment, Tang Zheng ran his strength according to the mental method, and the magic trick was continuously unfolded, and after a while, he finally condensed the water light cover, and it took twenty seconds to calculate the spell casting time, Tang Zheng smiled bitterly: "At this speed, when I release the cover, ten of me will be hacked to death." ”
You have to find a way to improve it.
The best way to do it is still to return to the spirit of the drug, through which the drug increases the aura, and the recovery effect can be increased several times or even dozens of times in a small week.
It's just that these medicines are really expensive, and the biggest problem with the elixir is that the help is only temporary. Cultivation is a matter of eternity, and if you really want to rely on elixir to make up for the huge gap between those talents, even if you sell the Wei family, it is not enough.
Tang Zheng thought about it, and finally gave up the idea of buying medicine, compared to himself, the second elder of the Wu family needed it more.
Just as he was thinking about it, the dream suddenly came.
"The young master told you to go to his side. ”
"What's the matter?" asked Tang Zheng as he collected his sword.
"The eldest young master and the second young master are here. ”
—————————————
When he arrived at the Meditation Garden, Tang Zheng saw that there were six people sitting in the garden except for Wei Tianchong.
In addition to Wei Ming, who Tang Zheng had seen before, the first of the other three was slender, with a square face with Chinese characters, but he was quite similar to Wei Danbai, and at first glance it was the eldest young master Wei Tianzhi.
As for the little young master Wei Tianchong, he has a rounder goose egg face, inheriting his mother's appearance, no wonder his wife prefers the younger son.
When Wei Tianchong entered school a few days ago, Wei Tianzhi was trying out and had no time to come to see him, and today he finally came.
There were two more people on both sides of Wei Tianzhi, one of them, Tang Zheng, recognized it at a glance, this must be Wu Xing, in the end, the son of Wu Laohan, and he also had a bit of his father's charm.
At this moment, the four of them were talking in the courtyard, and when Tang Zheng arrived, he first saluted Wei Tianchong: "Hello, little young master." ”
Then he turned to Wei Tianzhi: "Big Young Master! Second Young Master!"
Wei Ming was quite polite and nodded to Tang Zheng.
Wei Tianzhi looked at Tang Zheng and said, "You must be Tang Zheng, I have heard your name, and I have only been here for a short time, and I have been called a madman." As a servant, your behavior is a little ostentatious, but it is not as steady as your mother said. ”
This eldest young master and his father are simply out of the same mold, and even the tone of his speech is so old-fashioned.
Tang Zheng could only answer: "Yes, the kid can enter the academy, his wish is fulfilled, he forgets for a while, and I hope the eldest young master will forgive me, but I won't dare in the future." ”
Wei Tianzhi just nodded and pointed to the person beside him: "This is Xiao Zhe, this is Wu Xing, my servant." Speaking of which, Wu Xing is also your brother, you two brothers will meet for the first time this time, let's get to know each other well. ”
Tang Zheng turned to Wu Xing at this time: "Brother Wu Xing, Tang Zheng was fortunate to be rescued by his righteous parents, so he could not die, and had the opportunity to enter the academy, the great kindness is difficult to report, if there is anything to do with my brother in the future, even if I send my younger brother to do it, I will not dare to speak." ”
Wu Xing nodded: "You're welcome, your parents also praised you for your filial piety in a letter, and the second elder was taken care of thanks to you in my absence." ”
Although he said it politely, his tone was flat, and there was not the slightest excitement when he saw his brother. Tang Zheng didn't think it was strange, after all, it was the first acquaintance, and after a long time, it would be good to have feelings.
After taking a seat, everyone began to talk together.
Only then did Tang Zheng realize that Wei Tianzhi and Wu Xing had gone to the Thunder Mountain Range a few days ago to carry out the academy's medicine collection task, saying that it was a trial, but in fact, it was still making money.
If you want to cultivate without resources, you can't just rely on the family to make up for it, that is a big bottomless pit, for the students, it is not enough to smash how much money you have, and because of this, even if you are rich and young, you have to earn some benefits for yourself every once in a while.
Therefore, the Moon Washing Academy will also prepare some places of trials for students, which have the meaning of replenishing resources and the meaning of trials.
This Thunder Mountain Range is located in the north of Wenxin, it is a vicious place, there are many monsters and beasts in it, but there is no lack of genius treasures, there are students from the Moon Washing Academy who go there to explore every year, and there are those who have successfully obtained a lot of resources, but there are also many who have died because of this.
At this time, Wei Tianchong was asking his brother how the harvest was, Wei Tianzhi shook his head and sighed: "The Thunder Mountain Range is a lot of dangers, the first day I went, I witnessed a senior brother being devoured by demon beasts, it would be good to come back alive, what is the benefit." ”
"Didn't you say that there was a college master who led it? Why did someone die?" Wei Tianchong was puzzled.
Wei Tianzhi replied: "It's true to have a teacher to lead, but the problem is that with a large number of students, there are not enough good things." According to the rules of the academy, the guru is responsible for protecting, and if the benefit is obtained by the guru, it is still the academy's, and it has nothing to do with the students. If you want to gain something, you can't take refuge under the master's wing, so students still have to travel alone after all. I encountered a crisis on the first day I entered the Thunder Mountain Range, and I survived, and since then I have not dared to leave the master half a step, and I came back after more than a month, relying on the hard work of serving tea and water, and sharing a bottle of Yiqi Pill, but it is a drop in the bucket. ”
Wei Tianzhi sighed and shook his head.
He was originally a rich man, and he had always been served by others, but after he went to the Thunder Mountain Range, he had to rely on serving the master to get some leftovers, and his mood was really bad.
If he is like this, then Wu Xing Xiaozhe is naturally not much better.
"So, if my brother wants to become ordinary in ten years, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult?" Wei Tianchong felt a little sorry for his brother.
"I don't want to be out of the ordinary for a long time!" Wei Tianzhi laughed, and after the laughter, his voice turned low sharply, and he said sadly: "It's been seven years! I have been enrolled in school for seven years, but my talent is not enough, I only have two turns, and now I am only in the Linghu Realm, and I am still far away from the Linghai, and I am ashamed of my parents' expectations." Now my only hope is that I can complete the consummation of the Spiritual Sea before the end of the ten-year period, so that I can still obtain the method of impacting the mortal......"
The rules of the Moon Washing Academy are to take one step at a time and teach one step at a time.
If you can reach the Great Perfection of the Spirit Sea before the expiration of the ten years, even if you can't get into the Mortal, at least if you have the qualifications to impact the Immortal, you can get the method of Impacting the Mortal, even if you leave the academy and slowly cultivate by yourself in the future, it is possible to go to the Immortal again.
As long as he doesn't pass on his mind.
There are many donors who, although they failed at the academy, have not really lost hope in life, and a considerable number of them have been promoted after leaving the academy.
Otherwise, with such a difficult threshold, such a high elimination rate, and such a large cost, everyone must weigh whether it is worth it.
Just because there is still this back road, those who turn around dare to rush in. Isn't it something you can do in ten years and I can do it in twenty years?
Of course, after achieving transcendence, because there is no follow-up method, it often stops at the initial level.
The one who has the most in the Qixia Realm is this kind of spirit master.
Compared with Wei Tianzhi, Wei Ming is slightly better.
He opened the door three times and enrolled in school for five years, although the resources at home were limited, he also gave what he should give. From the point of view of entry, it is on the bottom line of the standard line, so to speak, it is hovering on the cliff, further may be just right, and a step back may be just lost. Fifty percent of the time, that's a full reflection in him.
As for that Wu Xing, he also opened the door three times, but he didn't have the resources of the second young master, so his entry was similar to that of the eldest young master, and he no longer expected to enter the world, and he also hoped to complete the spiritual sea before graduation.
After this moment of sadness, Wei Tianzhi suddenly changed his words and said: "This trip, in addition to seeing you, it also depends on how you enter the country." Tian Chong, are you studying law now?"
"Yes, I learned a spiritual technique. Wei Tianchong replied honestly.
"Spirit Channeling Technique? What is that? What's the use of you learning that?" Wei Tianzhi was very dissatisfied: "My generation cultivates immortals, bravely and diligently, and there are countless hardships and obstacles along the way, how can you learn this little way, how can it help you in the future trials? Do you really want your family to provide for you for the rest of your life? It's just nonsense!"
Wei Tianchong was reprimanded by his eldest brother so much that he didn't dare to speak, so he could only look at Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng was helpless, so he could only stubbornly answer: "Big young master, the spirit induction technique was learned by the little young master." Although this technique has no combat power, it is the basis for controlling puppets. The little young master is quite talented in carving, so the little advice ......"
"I know that he can carve, but can he achieve the way of a puppet just by carving? Carving is only for the form, the material is the foundation, and the refining array is the soul! Can he refine the array? Does he have the material? What is the use of having a form without a soul and no soul? Moreover, the way of a cultivator lies in himself, and if he relies on external objects, his future will be limited after all!" Wei Tianzhixun was so strict that even Tang Zheng couldn't speak.
His words are either unreasonable, or the standards are higher.
The path of the puppet may not be the avenue leading to the end of the immortal road, but for most cultivators, what they want is how far they can go, and this kind of thing at the end of the immortal road is to look at it after all, think about it, the distance is still difficult to achieve.
What's more, even if Wei Tianchong cultivates the way of the puppet, he may not be able to cultivate others, many of the current spells are only the foundation after all, the foundation, and the tools to achieve the goal, as long as the foundation is not deviated, the means do not have to be so serious.
It's a pity that he is the eldest young master in the end, and Tang Zheng is not easy to refute, so he can only bow his head.
It was the second young master Wei Ming who persuaded a few words, and the eldest young master didn't speak again.
However, Tang Zheng knew that because of the name Tang Zheng and the spiritual induction technique, this eldest young master was afraid that no matter how he looked at him, he could only sigh.
During the meal, Tang Zheng found an opportunity to talk to Wu Xing alone, and asked Wu Xing: "I don't know if Brother Wu Xing has spiritual money?"
"There are some, but not much, what do you ask for? If you want to borrow ......"
Tang Zheng smiled and said, "Brother Wu Xing misunderstood, that's the case. My father and mother are not in good health now, and I plan to buy a bottle of longevity pill for the second elder. ”
"Longevity Pill?" Wu Xing was taken aback: "That's an elixir, I want a piece of spiritual jade!"
The pills are divided into grades, including mortal products, spiritual products, and immortal products, and each has its own level function. For example, the medicine that Lu Chenyang gave to Tang Zheng at the beginning was actually just a mortal product, saying that it was an elixir, but just like a mortal calling a spirit master an immortal master, it raised its value.
This longevity pill is a real elixir, which can make mortals reborn and prolong their lives.
Hearing Wu Xing say this at this moment, Tang Zheng sighed: "Yes, it is because it is too expensive, so I asked my brother for help, I want the two of us to make it together, maybe we can buy it." ”
Wu Xing said angrily: "That's a piece of spirit jade, I want a thousand spirit money, where can I make up so much for you?"
"Not so much. This time I entered the school, because I was unintentionally blessed, I made some money, as long as my brother can support me with another eighty-three spiritual money. ”
"What, don't you have more than nine hundred dollars?" Wu Xing was startled.
"Yes. Tang Zheng replied.
He didn't shy away from saying anything, so he told him about the effect of getting fish scales and discovering fish scales, and then said: "The fish scales have cultivated a total of nine, I sold them to get nine hundred, plus the forty spirit money I earned before, a total of nine hundred and forty pieces, and then I bought the art book, and spent twenty-three spirit coins before and after, and now there are nine hundred and seventeen pieces left." ”
At first, he thought that he had left more than 900 spiritual money, but when he inquired, he found out that he wanted so much, and he regretted it, so he could only ask Wu Xing for help, no matter what, the second elder was also his biological parents.
Unexpectedly, Wu Xing was embarrassed when he heard this: "This ...... I don't have that much here. ”
"Why hasn't my brother saved eighty-three spirit coins for seven years of school?" Tang Zheng was surprised.
"That's not it, it's just that if you have money, it's all used to buy medicine, who will keep it? ”
Tang Zheng thought for a while, sighed and said, "In this case, I'll borrow some from the little young master first, as long as you help me send it out, do you think it's okay?"
"Why don't you send it yourself?"
Tang Zai smiled: "The second elder has great expectations for you, I think this will make them happier." And I'm crazy, I got the nickname of a crazy student when I just entered the academy, but I'm afraid that the second elder has some trouble because of me, and I really don't want too many people to know about me and the second elder...... So I asked my brother to bother. ”
Wu Xing was helpless, so he had to nod.
Tang Zheng went to find Wei Tianchong.
Wei Tianchong heard that Tang Zheng wanted to borrow money, but he didn't pay much attention to it, so he took the spiritual money to Tang Zheng.
Tang Zai took the money and went to Wu Xing and said, "I'll leave everything to my brother." ”
"Well, I'll take care of that for you. Wu Xing casually stuffed the money into his arms.
