Can Scientific Cultivators Penetrate into the Second Dimension

The inner disciples and the true disciples are not clear, but the handyman disciples and the outer disciples share the same scripture library. If you want to say which place Lin Xiu is most familiar with He Guizong in the past three months, then except for the Tibetan There is no other choice outside the court.

At first, it was to understand a lot of common sense about this world of cultivating immortals—the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion not only hides various exercises and classics, but also some miscellaneous notes for disciples to understand the outside world. "Information Lin Xiu also ran to this place.

That is to say, because the bottom layer of the Sutra Pavilion of the Outer Sect records things that have nothing to do with cultivation techniques, disciples of the Outer Sect do not need to pay for spiritual stones to read them inside. superior.

But after going back and forth like this, Lin Xiu actually got in touch with the senior who was stationed in the scripture storage pavilion.

"Mr. Qian, I'm sorry to trouble you."

At the entrance of the Sutra Pavilion, the old man sitting on one side opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his cloudy eyes.This is not an illusion of Lin Xiu, because of the existence of spiritual energy and spiritual power, immortal practitioners can shine in their eyes through some unique spiritual eye pupil techniques, so the situation such as "the cold light in the eyes flashes" is real, maybe What kind of powerful spells are they launching?

Of course, now Qian Lao has no reason to use this kind of spell on a buddy who has just stepped into the first level of Qi training, it should be some kind of detection spell.

After confirming that his identity was correct, Old Qian raised his eyelids and said, "Your boy is strange. You obviously have good aptitude, but it took three months to get a small air-introduction into your body."

Hearing this, Lin Xiu was also a little embarrassed, so he had to change the subject: "This is the Qi Gathering Pill entrusted to Lao Qian, otherwise the disciple might have gone down the mountain by now."

Elder Qian closed his eyes again, and said in a calm tone, "At that time, it was the old man who commented on you as 'worthy of cultivation'. If you couldn't even draw the breath into your body, wouldn't it make others laugh at the old man's dizziness."

That's right, this Elder Qian is the foundation-building senior who touched his head when Lin Xiu was getting started, and gave a mid-to-low comment of "worthy of accomplishment" when he checked the root bones. Originally, Lin Xiu and the other party should have It must be that there is no other contact, but when I came to the Buddhist scriptures pavilion later, I found that this old man happened to be the senior who guarded the Buddhist scriptures pavilion at the outer gate. In addition, he came here to read more times, so he became familiar with him after going back and forth.

Lin Xiu didn't know if Mr. Qian was really afraid that he would be ridiculed, so he gave him such a Qi-gathering pill, or because he was familiar with the face, he gave it casually. From the results, if there is no such Qi-gathering pill, Lin Xiu would almost He could impose the death penalty on his career of cultivating immortals that has not yet started, so he didn't care about Lao Qian's words at the moment, but sincerely performed a disciple ceremony.

Qian Lao opened his closed eyes slightly, and then closed them again, but the corners of his mouth pulled out a slight arc.

"The customary etiquette will be waived. Did you come here this time to choose a major in exercises?"

"Exactly."

Afterwards, Lin Xiu explained his spiritual root aptitude in detail. In Senior Brother Shen's explanation just now, Lin Xiu learned that the elders guarding the scripture pavilion still have the right to choose and suggest the disciple's exercises, but the final choice is up to him.

After quietly listening to Lin Xiu's spiritual root aptitude, Qian Lao said calmly, "According to your own situation, here are three exercises that are more suitable for you, one is "Hidden Sword Jue", one is "Xin Yan Gong", and the other is "Puppet Art."

Lin Xiu cupped his hands and saluted: "Dare to ask Mr. Qian, what is the difference between these three exercises?"

"The wooden puppet art is more balanced, it can summon wooden puppets, and the offense and defense are combined; Xin Yan's art is more important than offense, and once it is used, it is like a fire; the hidden sword art..."

For some reason, when talking about this kung fu, Mr. Qian paused a little: "... Cough, it's a kung fu that focuses on defense."

Although he was a little puzzled, Lin Xiu still thought about it seriously, and finally came to a conclusion: "But the decision is always based on money."

A budding cultivator like himself knows nothing about these things, so it's better to let this experienced cultivator take him with him.

Even if I really asked myself to choose Lin Xiu, I would still be at a loss. After all, my own cultivation method is doomed to be unable to slowly visualize and understand like others. Just follow Mr. Qian's suggestion and try it first. If it doesn't work, it will be more convenient to ask for advice later.

3. "Hidden Sword Jue" that can be hidden but not released

After hearing Lin Xiu's words, Mr. Qian didn't say anything, but raised one hand, and took out three thin booklets from his not-so-large sleeves.

It is said that after a monk successfully builds a foundation, a magical power called "spiritual consciousness" will be born. At that time, he will be able to engrave and read jade slips. The information that can be recorded in a small piece of jade slip is thousands of times that of a book of equal volume. But for disciples who are still in the Qi refining stage, the things that can be read are still this kind of paper books.

Looking at the three booklets in Qian Lao's hands, Lin Xiu showed doubts on his face.

According to what Senior Brother Shen said just now, the first task of the disciples in the early stage of Qi refining is to condense their spiritual energy and strive to step into the middle stage of Qi training as soon as possible. He only majored in exercises, but now Mr. Qian took out three books at once. Could it be that...

Thinking of a certain possibility, Lin Xiu's expression suddenly changed.

"Don't think too much."

Waving his hand, Mr. Qian explained: "Since you trust me so much, I won't let you suffer. You can choose two of these three books. If you fail to practice one of them, you can switch to another one in time." For a monk who has just stepped into the Qi refining period, it will not take much effort."

Hearing this, Lin Xiu's expression changed on another level.

——Cooperating with yourself doesn’t make sense in your heart, does it?

As if he had seen through Lin Xiu's thoughts, Old Qian blushed slightly, and argued, "If ordinary disciples can choose the most suitable exercises by themselves, it may take you three months to draw the Qi into the body. Situation, the general kung fu might not be able to get started after ten or eight years of practice... How about you go in and choose one by yourself?"

Speaking of the latter, Mr. Qian seemed a little bit annoyed.

Seeing this, Lin Xiu quickly took two volumes from him, thanked him, and left.

Looking at Lin Xiu's leaving figure, and then at "Xin Yan Gong" who was left behind, Mr. Qian shook his head, and returned to his calm state.

After leaving the Sutra Pavilion, Lin Xiu stopped by the Pill Pavilion and took this month's Qi Gathering Pill before returning to the station in District C. After closing the wooden door, he officially started his first cultivation as a cultivator.

Of course, before that, I still have to read the two exercises I got...

The first is "Wood Puppet Art". Overall, it is not much different from what Qian Lao described. In the early stage, it is to condense spiritual energy. Later, when the cultivation base reaches the level, it is necessary to be able to summon wooden puppets to fight through the spiritual wood. The more wooden puppets are summoned, the harder the texture will be. At the highest level, the summoned wooden puppets can even cast basic wood attribute spells on their own.

Seeing this, as an LSP—ahem, old Two-dimensional, Lin Xiu had an idea in his heart, but with his current mana realm, it was still far away from realizing it, so he suppressed it in his heart for the time being.

After turning over the wooden puppet technique is "Hidden Sword Jue".If there is no accident, it should be this kung fu that made Qian Lao behave so weirdly, and he specially prepared an extra kung fu for himself to switch to.

With awareness, Lin Xiu turned to the first page of "Hidden Sword Jue", and what caught his eyes was "If you want to practice this skill, you must first leave the palace" - no wonder.If there really was that kind of master Lin Xiu who ran back without saying a word and threw this exercise back in Qian's face, but whether he could throw it is another matter.

There is nothing wrong with the general outline of "Hidden Sword Jue". The follow-up is also a method of condensing spiritual energy like the wooden puppet technique. It also comes with a metallic spell called "Hidden Sword", which has also made corresponding effects for advanced realms. The description, in general, is not much different from the puppet art... Wait, if there is only attack art, why does Qian Lao say that it focuses on defense?

After calming down, he carefully read the "Hidden Sword Jue" carefully again, and then Lin Xiu discovered the biggest problem with this seemingly normal exercise.

"...There is only one hidden sword technique?"

Throughout the whole article, the spell attached to this "Hidden Sword Jue" is only one "hidden sword technique", and it is simply to teach you how to hide the "sword" into the "sheath", and it doesn't even tell you How to pull out the "sword" again!

Lin Xiu took a deep breath on the spot: "What kind of sword hiding technique is this? It's more accurate to call it the sword hiding style?"

Even exaggerating a bit, it is no problem to call this whole "Hidden Sword Jue" "Hidden Sword Style". After all, including the previous method of condensing spiritual energy, it can be used alone on "Hidden Sword".

Seeing this, Lin Xiu also understands why Qian Lao said that this "Hidden Sword Jue" focuses on defense, and there are no spells used for fighting in the left and right skills. Can "hidden sword" scare the opponent to death?

"Not fighting is the strongest defense, good guy, I'm going to be a good guy."

After finding out the details of this "Hidden Sword Style", although Lin Xiu was a little puzzled in his heart, he didn't intend to give up on it. Although these exercises are pitfalls, apart from being unable to use them in battle, they are not useful for refining spiritual energy. A lot of bonus effect, after all, the spiritual power of monks in the early stage of Qi refining is so little, and if you use it up, you will get less, unless you spend time to condense and extract it again.

And if you practice this "Hidden Sword Jue", you can't even find a way to use up the spiritual power of the corresponding attributes condensed in your body. Naturally, you can save the time to re-condense the spiritual power and speed up the cultivation speed in disguise.

Of course, if this is the case, there is no need for Mr. Qian to show that expression. "Hidden Sword Jue" is very effective in improving the realm of Qi training in the early stage, but the price is that you have to change your main practice method again, unless you plan to do one for the rest of your life. Ascetic monks who can only "hide the sword", otherwise you will have to wait for death if any monk with a lower level than you kills you.

"Forget it, we'll think of a solution when we encounter it later. If it's not good enough, isn't there still "Puppet Art"? The first task now is to improve the realm."

It is understandable for Qian Laohui to recommend this exercise, Lin Xiu. After all, judging from the fact that he has been stuck in entraining qi into his body for three months, he might not be able to enter the fourth stage of Qi training in three years if he is replaced by a general exercise. According to He Guizong's regulations, three years is the trial period given by the sect to new disciples.

If you can't enter the middle stage of Qi training in three years, you can either become a handyman disciple and use the rest of your life to repay the resources that the sect spent on yourself, and then accumulate some resources little by little to see if your family or future generations can set foot on the road ; or be expelled from the sect by abolishing all cultivation bases.

Such rules cannot be called cruel. After all, the Zongmen is not a charity hall, and it is impossible to blindly give without asking for anything in return. Those disciples who choose to join the Hegui Zong also worship under the premise of understanding these rules, and there is no coercion .

If he can enter the middle stage of Qi training after three years, then he can retain his status as an outer disciple, but at that time he can't just practice blindly, but needs to complete the tasks assigned by the sect from time to time in order to stay in Heguizong.

As for those who can step into the late stage of Qi training within three years, they can become inner disciples, and after entering the inner sect, they can continue to live this "boring" life of training-receiving resources-practicing-receiving resources.

At this stage, Lin Xiu doesn't expect to be able to step into the late stage of Qi training in just three years, but no matter what, he has to fight hard for the middle stage of Qi training. "It becomes very precious.

"Give it a go, a bicycle becomes a motorcycle!"

After secretly cheering herself up, Xiuxian Mengxin started her first practice.

4. "Sword Immortal" at the first level of Qi training

There is no time in the mountains, and the years are unknown in the cold and heat.

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed,

To sum up Lin Xiu's actions during these three months, it was roughly training-sleeping-practicing-sleeping...except for the four trips to the door during this period, there was nothing else to do.

The reason for the four trips is that besides the three trips to receive Qi Gathering Pills, the other trip was to go to the Artifact Refining Pavilion to get a standard long sword for practicing "Hidden Sword Jue".

Because the forging is all common [-]-smelted iron, so it didn't cost Lin Xiu any extra resources. After all, for immortal cultivators, objects that are enough to be called magical weapons in common customs are as good as broken copper from the perspective of immortal cultivators. Rotten iron is no different, and only those treasures of heaven and earth can attract their attention.

However, for Lin Xiu, who has just stepped into the first level of Qi training, this hundred-forged sword is enough to use, and now he has practiced hard with the "Hidden Sword Art" and three Qi-gathering pills until today.

"There are no resources."

Looking at the three empty boxes in front of him, Lin Xiu was slightly absent-minded.

Cultivating immortals is indeed a very costly undertaking, not to mention the waste of time - this is just the period of Qi training. It is conceivable that with the improvement of realm and lifespan, it will take several years or more to retreat in the future It will also become the norm, and in addition to the consumption of time, it is more of a demand for resources.

Even Xiuxian Mengxin, who is only at the first level of Qi training, still worships such a big sect as He Guizong, Lin Xiu has encountered a shortage of resources so quickly, what kind of situation are those casual cultivators? If you dare to imagine, it's no wonder that in the many biographies of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, casual practitioners would be beaten to death at every turn. In fact, casual practitioners can't make ends meet with normal resource collection and practice, and they have no choice but to act extremes.

In fact, at the beginning, Lin Xiu didn't consume so much resources. A large Qi Gathering Pill was divided into several small pieces, and each small piece could be consumed for a few days, and some could even be kept in a month.

However, as Lin Xiu's understanding of "Hidden Sword Jue" has deepened in the past three months, and with his own unique insights, he has slightly simplified the cultivation process by "billion" points, and the consumption of Qi Gathering Pills has suddenly increased. .

By the second month, it was just enough to consume the entire Qi Gathering Pill, and by the third month, not only the Qi Gathering Pill received this month, but also the share of those pills left over from the first month Consumed together.

At this time, there is still close to a week before the event of receiving the elixir next month.

Unlike the normal cultivators in this world, although their speed will be reduced a lot, they can still practice without the help of the Qi Gathering Pill, but Lin Xiu's "scientific" cultivation method is very different from ordinary people, but it is doomed that the speed of cultivation is almost the same as that of ordinary people. The effect of the pill is linked, without the vortex traction formed by the Qi Gathering Pill, it is extremely difficult to absorb spiritual energy from the outside world.

Sitting on the bed, Lin Xiu thought about the countermeasures: "Even if you don't do anything, it will be useless to get the Qi Gathering Pill next month. The speed of practicing the pill is getting faster and faster. It is estimated that this time it will take half a month." If I can't hold it, I will use it up completely, and the situation will get worse in the future, unless I break through to the middle stage of Qi training as soon as possible, but here comes the problem... I need to have enough Qi Gathering Pills if I want to break through to the middle stage of Qi training, To have enough Qi Gathering Pills, one must first break through to the middle stage of Qi training."

Beautiful, perfect closed loop, no urge to scold your mother.

After patting his face, Lin Xiu got up from the bed: "Anyway, let's go to the Alchemy Pavilion first."

As a relatively important branch of the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation, the Alchemy Pavilion, like the Artifact Refining Pavilion, is independent as a separate pavilion, and the number of people who come and go every day is no less than the places issued by the Zongmen mission, but the people who come here There are a lot of people, but very few people can return with satisfaction. The reason is very simple: the pills are precious.

No matter which realm or sect you are in, the resources used for cultivation cannot satisfy everyone's consumption. If you want to get a few resources with too many monks, you must have corresponding value. It can be a rare talent for cultivating immortals in a century. It could be the invincible combat power in the same realm, or some kind of specialty in cultivating immortals, or even some high-ranking elder as the background...Unfortunately, Lin Xiu has nothing.

So his "walking around" is really just a stroll. After coming to the Alchemy Pavilion, he doesn't even have a senior brother or sister who can talk to him, and there is almost nothing to gain except wasting a day... And the reason is "almost " rather than "completely", it lies in a conversation that Lin Xiu overheard when he gave up his mind to return to visit.

"Brother Zhao, are you here too?"

"Junior Brother Sun, what are you?"

"Oh, it's not the task of the Artifact Refining Pavilion. The melting furnace is simply not a place for people to stay. I don't have time to practice all day long, and I'm sick all over my body. I can't go to the Alchemy Pavilion to ask for a few Fire Pills to relieve it." ."

"So that's the case, but why did you go to the Refining Pavilion?"

"Isn't there no way to do it, and those brothers who master the spiritual root of fire may not necessarily like melting furnaces..."

"What do you mean?"

"The fire in the melting furnace is extracted from the bottom of the earth's lungs. It is extremely manic, and it is also mixed with earth's lung poisonous gas. The refining process is inevitably mixed with a lot of metallic aura. Who can bear this kind of mixed aura? Want to straighten it out? These auras take much more effort than condensing them yourself."

……

The speaker did not intend to listen to the listener. After hearing this conversation inadvertently, Lin Xiu subconsciously looked at the sword blade hanging on his waist for practicing "Hidden Sword Art".

As a young cultivator who already has a middle AC score for his abilities, Lin Xiu knows very well that he can't be that kind of "one in a million" genius, if he really foolishly ran to absorb the poisonous gas mixed with earth lungs , the manic fire attribute aura and the heterogeneous aura of refining metal spiritual power, it is estimated that they will ascend to heaven on the spot in the next second. It is hard to say that the monks in the foundation stage, at least the monks in the refining stage cannot accommodate such a chaotic and violent aura.

But the human body can't hold it, but it doesn't mean that the metal casting weapon can't hold it...

Immediately, Lin Xiu turned back to District C, prepared for the night and set off for the Artifact Refining Pavilion the next day.

"Junior brother is planning...to reforge this sword weapon by himself?"
