Chapter 173: Cave Cultivation (I)
The monk surnamed Zhao saw that the three of them had greeted each other. He continued: "According to the deliberation of the elders of the Deacon Hall, it was decided that in addition to sending more deacons to this Guiyuan Mountain, in order to avoid collusion between the deacons, it was stipulated that three deacons on duty, one of whom must sit in the Lingquan Cave. ”
As he spoke, the monk surnamed Zhao took out one large, two small and three tokens. "In the future, there will be two kinds of Guiyuan Mountain Deacon Tokens, and this larger token is held by the deacon sitting in the Lingquan Cave. Use this token to control the Moro Array and various mechanisms in the caves. These two small tokens can only open the outer formation of the Moro Great Array. Once the deacon sitting in the Lingquan Cave is not allowed to step out of the cave for half a step once he enters the cave, and the deacon outside the cave is not allowed to enter the cave, and the two sides supervise each other. ”
After speaking, the monk surnamed Zhao took out a thin-necked bottle carved from a hundred-year-old stone and said, "This is fifty high-grade Bigu Dan refined by Master Qingluo Shandan. It is enough for a monk sitting in the Lingquan Cave for a year. ”
Zhang Jicheng was shocked after hearing this: "Isn't the deacon sitting in the inner cave like a prison!"
The monk surnamed Zhao said: "You can think so too. The deacon outside the cave is like a guard, once the monk sitting in the inner cave walks out of the cave for no reason, not only will his deacon reward be cancelled, but he will also be punished by the door rules. The reward he was canceled will instead be awarded to the deacon who denounced him. ”
Xiao Ziyang listened, pondered for a moment, and asked, "What is the reward for the deacon sitting in the Lingquan Cave, it should be different from the deacon outside the cave, right?"
The monk surnamed Zhao nodded and said, "This is natural, the deacon who sits in the inner cave will receive twice as much as the deacon outside the cave, three hundred Daluo merit cards per month, and three thousand spirit stones. Don't regard it as a daunting path, if an immortal cultivator can't endure loneliness, how can he achieve something!"
Xiao Ziyang arched his hand and said solemnly: "The disciple is willing to sit in the inner cave!"
Hearing this, the monk surnamed Zhao glanced at Xiao Ziyang deeply, and said continuously: "Good, good, good!"
He handed the big token and the hundred-year-old stone bottle in his hand to Xiao Ziyang, took out a communication talisman from the storage bag, and said to Xiao Ziyang: "The token in your hand has the power of communication in addition to controlling the Moro Great Array, if you encounter something unexpected, you can ask the deacon hall for help." This messenger can communicate with me. You don't have a master to guide you in cultivating here, so if you have any questions, you can ask me for advice. ”
Chu Jichang and Zhang Jicheng saw this, and their faces were full of remorse.
The monk surnamed Zhao is named Zhao Xilong, and his cultivation in the later stage of foundation building is only one step away from Wangdan. This person is also one of the elders of the deacon of the Daluo sect. It can be said that he is one of the most powerful people below the Jindan Elder of the Great Luo Sect, and if he can get in touch with this person, it will be of great benefit to these Qi cultivation disciples in the future cultivation path.
Xiao Ziyang didn't know this, he was secretly happy in his heart at this time, not only could he drink the spiritual spring in the Lingquan Cave every day to cultivate, but he could also get a merit card that far exceeded expectations. As for the guidance promised by Zhao Xilong, he didn't take it to heart. He did have a lot of doubts when he cultivated "Purple Jade Smoke", but he was not an outsider. As for the doubts in the formation Daowen, Master Zhang Li was enough to answer his questions.
Zhao Xilong saw that Xiao Ziyang didn't care about the communication talisman he gave, and only said that he was not surprised, and he was even more optimistic about him.
Zhao Xilong left Guiyuan Mountain after watching Xiao Ziyang enter the Lingquan Cave and close the cave mechanism.
Xiao Ziyang looked at the slowly closing stone door, there was no trace of feeling that he was about to be imprisoned, only full of joy and expectation.
The stone door slammed shut, and he came to the octagonal pool, took out a futon from his storage bag, placed it on the edge of the pool, and sat down cross-legged.
He was not in a hurry to start cultivating. Arranging a physical training circle in his body, even if it was a second-level magic circle that was relatively simple for him, required extremely careful response.
He slowly closed his eyes, and silently honed his divine sense, and at the same time honed his state of mind.
An hour later, Xiao Ziyang completed the daily cultivation of the "Pure Heart Refining Divine Mantra". The sea of hearts is also as calm as an ancient well, without a trace of waves.
In his mind, he pondered and filtered the formations he was going to arrange one by one.
Three days later, Xiao Ziyang, who felt that he was fully prepared, finally began to cultivate.
The third level of the "Purple Jade Smoke" body training method is not to ask the cultivator to arrange hundreds or thousands of body training formations throughout the body in one breath at the beginning, but step by step.
Now all Xiao Ziyang has to do is to arrange a total of twelve physical training formations on his hands, feet, a pair of forearms, big arms, calves, and thighs. Hands, legs, are not critical. Even if there is a mistake, it does not hurt the root.
Xiao Ziyang chose his right hand to arrange the first formation, urging the purple jade mana to rush towards Lu's right hand, according to the secret book, using bones as the formation node and muscles as the formation support.
Three hours later, Xiao Ziyang let out a long breath. The first training circle was finally successfully arranged. The magic circle is not very complicated for Xiao Ziyang, and with great care, the arrangement is naturally very slow.
Xiao Ziyang opened his eyes, stretched out his right hand, and looked carefully. You can't tell the clues from the outside. He cast the Prospective Qi Technique again, only to see a purple formation aura shining on his right hand.
Next, left hand, right foot, left foot...... With the successful arrangement of one formation after another, Xiao Ziyang became more and more proficient, and the time it took became shorter and shorter.
On the third day, the twelve formations were finally arranged. After dozens of inspections and making sure that each formation was accurate, Xiao Ziyang sat cross-legged according to the secret book, raised his hands above his head, and activated the formation without hesitation.
First, his arms and legs lit up with a purple hazy formation aura, and then the two auras continued to expand, merging into one between his chest and abdomen, enveloping his entire person.
Xiao Ziyang felt that every piece of muscle and bone trembled all over his body, especially his arms and legs, which were almost strengthened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But Xiao Ziyang was not surprised. He only felt that the mana in the dantian was like a reservoir that opened the floodgates, surging towards the formation on his legs and arms, and was quickly consumed.
At this rate, his strong mana comparable to that of a foundation building monk would not be able to sustain much time at all. No wonder it is said in the secret book of "Purple Jade Smoke" that when you practice this skill, the denser the aura around you, the better.
He hurriedly dispersed his divine thoughts, desperately absorbing the chaotic aura. At the same time, he opened his mouth, and with a roll of mana, a spring of water poured into his mouth.
With the replenishment of the spiritual spring, his mana could finally maintain the consumption of the formation.
He couldn't help but be extremely glad that if it was in Daluo Mountain, such a rapid mana consumption, just relying on the absorption of the five elements of spiritual energy conversion by divine thoughts, within half a day, the hardly arranged body training formation would collapse due to insufficient mana, although it could also be cultivated, its efficiency would probably be ten times worse.
There was no time to sigh, Xiao Ziyang quickly used all his mind to absorb spiritual energy and transform mana.
