The female nun just wants to live forever

Chapter 35 Daily life
According to the world of cultivating immortals, cultivation is divided into realms such as qi training, foundation building, and golden elixir. Each realm is divided into the front, middle and late stages. The front, middle and back of the qi training period are divided into three levels.

For example: Levels one to three of Qi training are the early stage, levels four to six are the middle stage, and levels seven to nine are the late stage.

In the early stage of Qi training, magical powers are beginning to appear, but the spiritual energy cannot be released outwards. It is necessary to use exercises and its unique operation method to complete the spiritual energy drive. When you reach the middle stage of Qi training, you can initially show your spiritual energy, and you can practice wind control and other skills, use your spiritual energy to control foreign objects, and achieve short-term flight. As for the later stage of Qi training, the power of spiritual energy can be controlled like an arm, and everyone can control it. Especially after the Niwan Palace is opened, you can also use your spiritual consciousness to check the level of other people's cultivation.

Of course, you can only check people whose cultivation level is lower than your own. If your cultivation level is higher than your own, it is easy for the other party to notice and suffer backlash.

To sum it up, Gu Nian has been traveling back and forth to Spring Valley for more than a year, and it took many months before he was able to draw Qi into his body.

If he hadn't obtained the jade plate later, practiced the Immortality Technique, and had a high level of understanding, I'm afraid he would still be at the first level of Qi training now.

"Eh~"

"No wonder they say that the fourth and fifth spiritual roots are mixed spiritual roots. If you don't have the opportunity to get a glimpse of immortality, it is simply a dream."

Gu Nian sighed slightly, touched the Qiankun bag hidden under the Taoist robe at his waist, and his eyes moved slightly.

She knew very well that once she stopped practicing, time would not stop waiting for her, it would only leave her far behind.

Under the moonlight, Gu Nian sat in front of the window in a daze, still holding the low-level talisman and seal book in his hand, looking at the full moon in the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.

The cool breeze blew over his face and ruffled the hair on his forehead.

After a long time, Gu Nian finally came back to his senses. He lowered his head and looked at the book in his hand, his eyes gradually becoming firmer.

Gu Nian spent this night meditating to consolidate his cultivation at the third level of Qi training.

For more than half a month after that, her life returned to its usual routine, repeating itself over and over again.

Every morning, she would practice basic sword moves with the help of a jade plate to absorb the morning light.

Moreover, the two of them ate snake meat every day and almost vomited from it, but their cultivation level also improved rapidly. Fortunately, they went to the Valley of Rejuvenation after leaving many mountains in the middle of the journey. So together, the three of them ate the remaining snake meat. Finished eating.

This snake feast lasted for more than half a month. After the three of them devoured the giant python, many mountains ended up in retreat again...

After that, Gu Nian was still not in a hurry to help Ruan Xiaolin refine the elixir, but focused on the "Low-level Talisman".

It is not unfounded that the talisman path can be the same as that of magic. The powerful effects depicted on the low-level talismans make Gu Nian yearn for it.

There are three talismans, one is making talisman, the second is drawing talisman, and the third is urging talisman.

The most difficult thing among them is to urge the talisman, not to make or draw the talisman.

A simple talisman can be activated by using spiritual energy as a guide, but if it is a powerful talisman, it needs to be accompanied by a formula to activate it.

However, the talismans depicted on this low-level talisman seal are all guided by spiritual energy to activate the talisman.

Therefore, her top priority is to make and draw talismans. For beginners, these two are the most difficult.

But when Gu Nian was about to make the talisman, he discovered that a tree called Yin Lei Mu was needed to make the talisman.

The yin thunder tree is a masculine tree that grows in places struck by lightning but is not struck by lightning, hence the name yin thunder tree.

In addition to being used to make talisman paper, because of its unique masculine properties, it is also used to make furniture, utensils, etc. It has the effect of prolonging life when it is always around.

However, these are all folk rumors. As for whether it has the effect of prolonging life, it is unknown.

Because of this, Yin Thunder Wood is extremely popular among mortals, resulting in the price of Yin Thunder Wood being extremely expensive even in the mortal world.

As a mortal, who doesn't want to live a few more years, not to mention there are countless mortal nobles who want to embark on the path of immortality even if they spend all their money. The process of using Yin Lei wood to make talismans is even more cumbersome.

First, the Yin thunder wood must be broken into pieces, soaked in water for half a year to form Yin thunder water, and then refined honey is added to boil it and dried in the sun to form Yin thunder paper, which is the so-called talisman paper.

After the talisman paper is formed, it is time to draw the talisman. According to what the low-level talismans say, before drawing the talisman, you need to purify your mind.

After that, they lay out paper, grind ink, and step on the steps to form a general trend. The spiritual energy is integrated into the general trend to form a talisman force.

Only this paper can withstand the so-called talisman power.

When the power of the talisman is formed, just use the spiritual energy as a guide to trigger the general trend and detonate the talisman paper instantly.

Although the talisman paper was good, there was no Yin Lei wood. Even though she had been to the sect and the market for half a month, she could not find it.

No wonder Ruan Xiaolin was willing to give this low-level talisman to her. Presumably, he couldn't find the Yin Thunder Wood mentioned in the book.

Therefore, Gu Nian had no choice but to give up refining the talisman for the time being, and concentrated on meditating and practicing the Shadow Step every day. He also found time to refine a furnace of elixirs in between, and basically spent the rest of the time practicing the Flowing Water Sword Technique.

She is not bad at understanding. It has only been half a month, and she has already completely mastered the first level of the Flowing Water Sword Technique with the use of the Shadow Step. She can also show some sword power when she draws the sword, and she has a certain degree of skill.

However, the speed is still not fast enough to reach the point where afterimages are hard to catch.

The days passed quickly, and five months later, Gu Nian was finally ready to help Ruan Xiaolin refine the elixir.

In fact, during this period of time, she had moved the medicine hospital under the cliff to the valley and placed it in a side position of the medicine hospital in the valley.

Fortunately, since Mr. Zhao left, Duan Shui has been immersed in practicing the Power Sutra every day, and Gu Nian is the one who picks herbs every day when refining elixirs, so so far, he has not discovered Gu Nian's small pharmacy.

Of course, even if it is discovered, Gu Nian believes that based on many people's understanding of medicinal herbs, it is basically impossible to tell its age.

This is not because Gu Nian deliberately belittles the level of many waters, but his level is at best like this.

Nowadays, Gu Nian's alchemy skills are quite extraordinary, but when she started to refine the elixir that Ruan Xiaolin needed, she discovered that the middle-grade elixir could not be baked with firewood at all, but had to use spiritual energy to control the fire.

In short, for a furnace of elixirs, she needs a steady stream of spiritual energy to control the fire, so that the elixirs produced are purer and more effective.

"I didn't expect that there is so much detail in alchemy, and you can even clearly distinguish the intensity of the fire."

Gu Nian stood in front of the big cauldron and looked at the pill prescription that Shan Qiu gave her, feeling a little surprised.

According to the steps required for alchemy, all the herbs are ground, then put into Yang soil to boil, and then the spiritual energy is activated to control the fire.

Mobilizing spiritual energy to control the fire does not consume much spiritual energy, but the process of stimulating it is very long, often taking two or three hours. By the time the cooking is completed, she is already sweating.

After she has finished kneading the elixir, she puts it into the elixir furnace and bakes it.

suddenly!

boom! ! !
Not long after baking, a huge explosion suddenly sounded, and the huge airflow instantly lifted the wooden cover off, passing her by, and almost hitting the front door.

Looking at the mess all over the floor, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"This middle-grade elixir is really dangerous to explode the furnace!"

Seeing that the robe on his shoulders was somewhat frayed, with blood overflowing and flowing down his skin, he felt a lingering fear in his heart.
