Chapter 18: Good luck

After a month of stable life, Zhou Nan's heart gradually calmed down.

During the day, he accompanied Old Man Wang to learn from each other, and at night he practiced "Soul Determination" alone, and gradually, Zhou Nan found that the pitch-black left hand no longer became as bright as it was at the beginning, and the black gradually became restrained. In this regard, he had no choice but to smile bitterly.

After a careful inspection, he noticed that it was okay, and Zhou Nan also paid attention to this problem.

That night, Zhou Nan's state reached its peak. So, he no longer hesitated, took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote down "Zhimu Decision" word for word. Then, he picked up the thin booklet bound on paper and carefully studied it. In this way, as soon as I became enlightened, half a month passed.

Half a month later, Zhou Nan already had a preliminary understanding of "Zhimu Decision". Although I don't dare to say how thoroughly I understand, there is still no problem in cultivating to the first three layers of the Enlightenment Period. After settling down, Zhou Nan put away the cheats and started his first attempt.

The Enlightenment Period, as the name suggests, is to open up the potential of the spiritual root.

The ninth layer of the spirit is enlightened, and the better the spirit root, the easier it is to open. Only through various exercises and opening up the potential of the spiritual root can one absorb and assimilate the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, thereby transforming it into mana and becoming a true immortal cultivator.

Zhou Nan didn't know his spiritual root, but that didn't stop him from giving it a try. If the wood attribute technique of the "Zhimu Decision" is not suitable for him, then he can only wait for the selection of the disciples of the Xuanhuo Sect. As for the fact that he can't cultivate immortals, Zhou Nan hasn't thought about it at all, and he doesn't dare to think about it.

Meditation, breathing, running exercises...

Before you know it, the night has passed.

Zhou Nan didn't feel the slightest mana in his body, but he didn't feel the slightest frustration. Although he believed that he could cultivate immortals, he was not conceited enough to be qualified against the sky, and he could gain something in one night. So easily, he calmed down.

The path of cultivating immortals is like casting, it must be persevered, and there is no trick in the slightest. Therefore, in the following time, every night, Zhou Nan practiced "Soul Determination" for two hours. Then, there is a night of "Zhimu Decision". The living arrangement is very regular, and the life is in good order.

Time flies, and before I know it, half a year has passed. It has been nine months since Zhou Nan arrived in the Xuanhuo Sect. His casting technique has made great progress, but the cultivation of "Zhimu Duel" has made the slightest progress. It's just that his spirit is getting fuller and fuller.

In this regard, Zhou Nan just smiled helplessly, still cultivating as usual. This kind of life has become his instinct. If he didn't do it that day, he would really be a little uncomfortable.

It's just that Zhou Nan doesn't know how to do it, the last month. Every night, when he meditated and practiced the Zhimu Decision, a faint cyan light appeared in the air, and with his breathing, it burrowed into his body and disappeared. It's just that there are very few points of light, and even Zhou Nan himself didn't notice it in the slightest.

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.

On this day, Zhou Nan was casting a long knife, swinging the hammer, the force was accurate, and the long knife was about to be formed. Suddenly, with a shake of his right hand, the force was out of control, and with a sharp hammer, the long knife was directly smashed and fell to the ground. Even the house, under the action of the huge force, shook twice.

Zhou Nan was startled at first, but then ecstasy. Simply today, Old Man Wang was not at home, Zhou Nan closed the door directly, and before he even had time to extinguish the fire, he ran into the backyard like a fly.

After closing the door, Zhou Nan sat directly on the bed. After taking a few deep breaths, he started the "Zhimu Decision" and entered the cultivation. At this time, Zhou Nan felt an extremely thin air current, which slowly flowed for a week according to the meridians followed by "Zhimu Decision", and returned to his dantian.

didn't stop, along with the feeling, Zhou Nan's "Zhimu Decision" was running round and round like this, and before he knew it, night fell, and he was tired and half dead, so he stopped.

When he opened his eyes, Zhou Nan's face was full of joy, but then he felt nauseous. I saw that his whole body was covered with a thin layer of gray greasy substance, and an extremely heavy fishy smell came, which made him frown for a while. With a wry smile, Zhou Nan held his breath, ran out of the door directly, and jumped into the pool.

Caring about the cold pool water, Zhou Nan washed it up. After the cleaning, Zhou Nan only felt a burst of refreshment, his whole body seemed to have inexhaustible strength, and his spirit was a little abnormal. Fortunately, it's just a good thing, so there's no need to worry.

If you put him in the mountains now, deal with the wolves, and directly fall to the side. Because, from this moment on, the two sides are no longer on the same level. He has become an immortal cultivator!

Throw away the soiled clothes, put on a new one, and return to the house, Zhou Nan lay directly on the bed and fell asleep. In order to cultivate, for most of the past half a year, Zhou Nan can be said to have tensed his nerves. It's rare to have a breakthrough today, so I just relax for a day. Stealing half a day of leisure, the way to cultivate immortals, one by one, is the king. He still understands the truth of being too late.

This time the successful cultivation of "Zhimu Duel" can be described as good luck for Zhou Nan. No one instructs, even if you have a spiritual root, whether you can cultivate immortals, I don't know the way, in terms of being completely illiterate in cultivating immortals, it is really a thing worth celebrating to be able to enter the first layer of the enlightenment period in more than half a year.

Now that you know that you are on the right path, the next step is to work hard and work hard, as long as you persevere, you will gain something. In the following days, Zhou Nan once again entered the intense cultivation life.

If people have something to do, they always feel that there is not enough time, and they pass quickly. In the blink of an eye, a year has passed, and it has been a year and a half since Zhou Nan came to this Xuanhuo Sect, and the difference of five months is the selection of the new generation of disciples of the Xuanhuo Sect.

Thinking about it, Zhou Nan sighed with emotion. Before I knew it, I had been away from home for more than three years, and three years might be a long time for mortals, but for immortal cultivators, it was just a flick of a finger.

After a year of hard work, Zhou Nan has now reached the peak of the second layer of the Enlightenment Period. However, in recent months, no matter how hard he tries, he always feels that there is a layer of restraint invisibly, restricting himself, so that he has never been able to break through.

Waking up from meditation again, Zhou Nan rubbed his swollen head. Sighed and said: "Still can't break through?" It seems that this immortal cultivation is not blindly dead cultivation can achieve achievements, dead cultivation can only lay a good foundation, as for the breakthrough, it seems that it still has to be a chance, once the opportunity comes, it will naturally come naturally." ”

Thinking about this, Zhou Nan no longer plans to continue to practice "Zhimu Decision", and he still understands this truth. You can't eat a big fat man in one bite, you have to take your time.

In the following days, Zhou Nan went shopping every day, striking iron, and occasionally communicated with Wang Lao. The days are enjoyable and very leisurely. At one point, he even had the illusion that he didn't want to cultivate immortals anymore. But the moment this thought arose, it was ruthlessly wiped out by Zhou Nan.

joke, Zhou Nan is not the kind of person who forgets everything as soon as he is comfortable and enjoyable. Therefore, after a month of ordinary life, Zhou Nan practiced "Zhimu Decision" again

Strange to say, this time Zhou Nan could clearly feel that after a night of cultivation, his mana had increased a little. Although it was only a small trace, there was no better news for him. Therefore, Zhou Nan was very excited.

At the same time, this also indirectly proves that Zhou Nan's previous blind ascetic method was not correct. Penance is good, but it is not conducive to the stability of the Dao heart, and it is not a long-term solution.

Time is not long, but it is not short, and gradually, three months have passed!

On this day, Zhou Nan finally broke through to the third layer of the Enlightenment Period as he wished. After a little operation, the mana that was several times stronger than the original one was constantly rolling and flowing in the meridians, the muscles were swollen, and the beautiful lines made Zhou Nan full of strength.

Now, Zhou Nan's divine thoughts have been able to initially peek into every corner of his body.

First of all, Zhou Nan checked his dantian. I saw a trace of cyan air flow hovering in the dantian, forming a mist, flowing room, beautiful. After checking the various locations, he suddenly gathered his mind and reached out to his left. But this time, it's a pity that Zhou Nan couldn't get what he wanted.

I saw that on the left hand, there was a gray patch, and Zhou Nan controlled the divine mind and checked it for a long time, but he didn't get any results. Unwilling, Zhou Nan went to check his right hand again, but everything was normal.

At this time, no matter how stupid Zhou Nan was, he also had deep doubts about "Soul Determination". But the more this is the case, on the contrary, the more interested he is in "Soul Fighting".

Zhou Nanzhi said, although he can't unlock the secret of his left hand now, but with the increase of his cultivation, one day, he will solve this problem, and he firmly believes in his own ideas.

After reaching the third layer of the Enlightenment Period, Zhou Nan's strength was even greater, and he easily had the strength of a thousand catties. At the same time, the body is becoming more and more flexible. Zhou Nan tried a set of mortal sword techniques, and he did it in one go in an instant. The huge progress almost made him bite his tongue off.

In this regard, Zhou Nan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "If a mortal cultivates this set of sword techniques and practices to his current level, it is estimated that he will be seventy or eighty, and this is still a good talent." ”

Once again, Zhou Nan felt the tangible benefits of cultivating immortals. As for those trivial illnesses and injuries, they have completely left him. Even ordinary poisons among mortals were no longer harmful to Zhou Nan. As long as the mana is slightly activated, these small poisons will be easily dissolved.

In addition, for Zhou Nan, the happiest thing is that after having the cultivation of the third layer of the Enlightenment Period, his casting technique has risen several grades, far surpassing Old Man Wang.

Regarding this matter, Old Man Wang could only praise Zhou Nan's talent while wondering alone. However, Zhou Nan knew that this was because after reaching the third layer of the Enlightenment Period, his strength increased greatly, and when forging, it was easier to remove the impurities in the ore, and the forging was more dense. He wouldn't have been able to do that otherwise.

In addition, now he has a tighter control over his eyes and body, and he can grasp the details of casting more tightly. Take one occasion as an example, when Old Man Wang was forging a short sword, after heating, it would take thirty breaths, which was Zhou Nan's understanding.

But Old Man Wang only heated up twenty-nine breaths. Although there is only a short difference of breath, for the material of casting the short sword, it is not possible to fully remove impurities and give full play to the performance of the material.

Zhou Nan was not surprised by the casting, but he felt more and more mysterious about his father. Zhou Hao's casting skills are known to him, and he used to have a low vision, and when he saw that Zhou Hao's casting was not good-looking, he once thought that his skills surpassed his father's. But in retrospect, it was just a joke.

Looking at it from his current perspective, what Zhou Hao cast is far beyond his current reach. In this regard, Zhou Nan asked himself more than once: "What kind of person is my father, and why does he have such superb casting skills?"

As for saying that Zhou Hao is a mortal, Zhou Nan didn't believe it when he was killed. He did not believe that mortals could have such a casting skill. Besides, how could a mortal know the high-ranking Xuanhuo Sect Master?

Therefore, it is not difficult to deduce Zhou Hao's identity, at least he is an immortal cultivator, and he is an immortal cultivator related to the Xuanhuo Sect. Very easily, Zhou Nan came to a conclusion.

"It seems that I have a new task next, to find out everything related to Xuanhuo Sect and my father. Clenching his fists, Zhou Nan said with a firm face.

As for the rest, Zhou Nan couldn't think of it. But all this, Zhou Nan still only buried it in the deepest part of his heart, unless he has the ability to know all this, he will not tell anyone.

After all, a young man who has buried his dream and entered the mortal world always has some secrets of his own, not to mention, he has now embarked on the immortal path.
