Do not die

As the cultivation level breaks through to the sixth level of Qi training, the efficiency of cultivation is reduced by half.

When I was at the fifth level of Qi training, I could gain +7 cultivation progress every day, but now I only get the same progress every two days.

After becoming familiar with the state of the sixth level of Qi training, Meng Zhou also took a Qi nourishing pill.

This was a specially prepared thank you gift for Han Qingmei after she treated her that day. A jade bottle and five Qi-nourishing pills.

This is an auxiliary elixir that is very effective for monks in the middle and late stages of Qi training. It is said that one pill can equal the work of a normal monk for two to three months.

But for Meng Zhou, the effect was just an additional +2 to the day's cultivation progress.

The improvement brought by one Qi-nourishing Pill was not as good as the results of his one-day practice.

Even if Meng Zhoudang decided not to use this elixir to assist his practice in the future.

The increase it can bring is too small for one thing. Another more important reason is that if you take too much elixir, the body's resistance will become greater, and the effect of taking the elixir will be reduced.

The previous master had never taken any elixirs, and this Qi-nourishing elixir was also his first time taking elixirs. From the perspective of elixirs, this body was still pure.

If taking too many low-quality elixirs increases the body's drug resistance, then such a good foundation will be wasted.

Deciding to go to the market tomorrow, Meng Zhou took stock of what items could be exchanged for spirit stones.

In addition to the large number of light body charms and flying arrow charms, Meng Zhou decided to also sell the remaining four Qi Nourishing Pills and the storage bag with only one space.

After dealing with all this, he felt that the magic power in his body became full again, and Meng Zhou started the practice that he had not finished today.

He stood in the quiet room, made a secret with his fingers, and with an idea, the first-order high-grade flying sword flew out of the storage bag.

His finger seals changed, and the flying sword swam flexibly in the stone chamber, like a nimble fish.

Purchasing the best magic sword comes with a book on sword control. Although Meng Zhou spends a lot of time learning and making talismans, the time allocated to sword control is very limited every day.

But whether it is the cultivation of the sixth level of qi training or the basic skills of the master level, his attainments in the practice have long surpassed most of the qi training monks.

I also successfully learned the art of sword control three days ago.

While practicing the art of sword control, Meng Zhou found that the experience he gained in the martial arts skills of Thousand Hands and Left and Right Fighting was also extremely helpful in the practice of sword control.

The art of sword control is to connect the flying sword spirit machine through seals, and achieve the purpose of remote control of flying swords through changes in seals.

There are two key points, one is the seal, and the other is the stability of the connection with the flying sword, that is, the spiritual machine.

The former mainly determines the flexibility of the flying sword, while the latter mainly determines the ultimate control range of the flying sword.

Of course, this is not absolutely clear-cut.

Many seal techniques that go against common sense and physiological limits can be easily performed by him, regardless of whether he is left or right-handed.

After successfully mastering the art of sword control, Feijian came to life like a fish under the control of his seal. His hands were exchanged without affecting its flexibility. Meng Zhou couldn't help but look at the free hand. think:

"If you still have a flying sword, you must try to control two swords with both hands."

After mastering sword control, Meng Zhou finally understood how a pure monk fought.

That is a kind of beauty that is completely different from that of a warrior.

A warrior is a warrior who works personally and is on the front line.

Practitioners are chess players, laying out, controlling, and making progress step by step.

The battle between two practitioners cannot be simply compared to the battle between two more powerful warriors, but a game of chess.

Every battle, from beginning to end, is a complete game.

However, Meng Zhou, who had understood this level, progressed from beginner to early mastery of swordsmanship, and from early mastery to minor mastery, and the flying sword he controlled gradually became stained with the shadow of martial arts swordsmanship, forming a unique His personal sword-wielding style.

The practice of sword control is much more difficult than other spells he practices, which can be seen from the entry experience alone.

After getting started with other spells, it only takes 25 experience to advance to Chengdu, but it takes 30 for sword control.

And this value cannot fully explain the difference in difficulty, because practicing sword control consumes far more mana than others.

It only takes a quarter of an hour of continuous practice to completely consume the abundant mana at the sixth level of his Qi training.

Although this is because the quality of the flying sword is too high and does not match the cultivation level, the practice of sword control is also an important reason.

As the mana was once again exhausted, all plans for today were completed.

Meng Zhou finally finished his training, brewed a pot of spiritual tea, and enjoyed a rare moment of leisure.

Swordmanship experience +30.

Ever since the day I started to master swordsmanship, every day, my swordsmanship has been steadily improving as it is today.

[Sword Controlling Skill: 30/120]

This is the result of his practice in sword control these days.

…

The next day.

Considering today's plan, Meng Zhou will go to Yu Peng's office to diagnose and treat the patient a little earlier.

After completing the diagnosis and treatment, Meng Zhou left the Zuowang Hall and went to the market with the diagnosis fee of 300 low-grade spiritual stones in his arms.

As he walked through a quiet and dense forest, his appearance had quietly changed into another one, and the style of his robes had also been greatly adjusted.

After entering the market, Meng Zhou went straight to Wang's rice shop and found Wang Wei.

When the other party saw him, his face was full of doubts.

"Your Excellency?"

This was the first time this image appeared in front of him.

Meng Zhou said: "I will handle all future talisman transactions with you."

"Ah? Ah!" Wang Wei called out twice. The first one was a bit confusing, but the second one turned into surprise.

Then, he lowered his voice and asked, "You mean the cleansing talisman and the light body talisman?"

He specifically pointed out these two kinds of talismans, intending to double-check the codes.

Meng Zhou told him the answer with calm eyes.

Wang Wei quickly led him into the back room and asked, "Is Master Zhou Fu unable to escape?"

Meng Zhou suddenly stared at him, until Wang Wei felt his heart trembling, and then he said calmly:

"Don't inquire about the Professional Association's affairs. Knowing too much will do you no good!"

Wang Wei was startled. Thinking of the great changes in the valley that had caused a great uproar recently and affected almost every monk, he no longer dared to have any insinuating thoughts. He immediately gave himself two slaps in the face and said:

"I don't understand the rules, so I should be beaten!"

He has made up his mind that he will never keep his mouth shut again, and his experience with Master Zhou Fu must be completely rotten in his stomach.

Meng Zhou placed a thick stack of talismans on the table: "140 light body talismans and 355 flying arrow talismans. Click on them."

After Wang Wei finished counting, he quoted a price that was slightly beyond Meng Zhou's expectations.

"470 low-grade spiritual stones."

This was a full 50 lower-grade spiritual stones more than he expected.

Wang Wei seemed to understand what he was thinking, and explained: "During this period, the prices of talismans that can directly increase combat effectiveness, such as the Light Body Talisman and the Flying Arrow Talisman, have increased."

Meng Zhou nodded clearly, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Are you buying any other items?"

Wang Wei said without hesitation: "Take it, of course."

Meng Zhou placed a jade bottle containing four Qi-nourishing pills and a blank storage bag on the table.

Wang Wei's eyes immediately moved away from the thick stack of talismans, looking at these two objects as if they were about to emit light.

The quality of these two items was far higher than those bits and pieces he thought.

Now, the only problem is...

"What's your price?"

Meng Zhou said: "95% off. You should know how hard these two things are. Let alone selling them at market prices. Even if the price goes up a bit, you won't have to worry about not being able to sell them."

Wang Wei only hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay!"

The market price of the Nourishing Qi Pill is 50 low-grade spiritual stones, and at a 95% discount, four pills are equivalent to 190 low-grade spiritual stones.

A storage bag may seem small, but the market price requires 300 low-grade spiritual stones, which is comparable to a first-level mid-grade magic weapon. A 50% discount is equivalent to 285 low-grade spiritual stones.

In total, there are a total of 945 low-grade spiritual stones.

This was far beyond Wang Wei's financial scope. When he was about to go out to raise funds, Meng Zhou directly relieved him of a large burden.

High-quality spiritual rice, one low-grade spiritual stone weighs two kilograms.

High-quality spiritual tea, ten low-grade spiritual stones and one tael.

Meng Zhou used a hundred low-grade spiritual stones to pocket the only one hundred kilograms of high-grade spiritual rice and five taels of high-grade spiritual tea in his shop.

When Meng Zhou walked out of Wang's rice shop with a full harvest, Wang Wei looked at the pile of items purchased with huge sums of money in front of him.

He reflected in his mind on how he, a good rice shop owner, became more and more like an unscrupulous broker.

However, as soon as he thought about the spiritual stones he earned from this matter, he was filled with strength and motivation.

So delicious.
