Immortality begins with the sword of ignorance

The items sold in Sihai Pavilion are slightly more expensive than other places, but the quality is guaranteed.

Talismans and magic weapons are related to fighting. If there are flaws, they will easily be exposed in the battle. At that time, the loss will be your own life.

Taking pills is related to one's own cultivation and future, which cannot be ignored. Therefore, even though the things in Sihai Pavilion are expensive, many people still buy them because of the quality assurance.

Just like Zhong Cang, when he got the spirit stone and was about to buy elixirs, the first thing he thought about was the Sihai Pavilion, not the vendors.

However, the large number of people buying has also caused the supply of things in Sihai Pavilion to exceed demand, and there are often shortages.

When he came to buy elixirs three days ago, he did not buy red blood elixirs, but only bought snow jade ointment and laurel incense.

However, the effects of snow jade ointment and laurel incense alone also made Zhong Cang understand why among the four elements of cultivating immortality, the word wealth is the first.

The auxiliary effect of the elixir is really too strong.

"Before using laurel incense, I practiced the Five Beasts Body Art once, which could only increase my proficiency by 1 point. But after lighting the laurel incense, my consciousness became clearer, my spirituality increased, and my skill proficiency increased by 3 points at a time! "

The triple improvement made Zhong Cang ecstatic, but also a little scared and emotional.

"Fortunately, the higher the monk's cultivation level, the fewer elixirs can be used for assistance. In addition to resources, senior monks need to have a strong mind, understanding and some opportunities. If there are no such restrictions, this world of cultivation would be , It really has nothing to do with us poor people... Although now, it is difficult for the poor to get ahead."

After sighing with emotion, Zhong Cang also thought of the effect of Snow Jade Cream.

Applying it to the whole body will increase Zhong Cang's physical strength. In the parlance of the cultivation world, it means refining the body.

Its increased effect is the same as that of laurel incense, three times that of ordinary practice.

——Unlike the Wu Ming Intention Sword, which is just a fighting technique, the Qi-Shi Jue and the Five Beasts Yun Shen Jue are training techniques.

And they are just Tao and Dharma. Therefore, these two exercises do not directly improve Zhong Cang's cultivation level.

Just like when Qi Shijue was proficient in the second level, Zhong Cang's cultivation level was at the third level of Qi training. After it advanced to the third level of proficiency, Zhong Cang's Qi training level was still at the third level, unchanged at all.

Of course, this does not mean that upgrading the skills is useless.

After his Qi-Eating Jue was improved, Zhong Cang obtained the Tongue of Eating, and his Qi-training practice speed increased several times.

This is the second most important effect of high-level skills...increasing the speed of practice.

The higher the proficiency of the technique, the faster the practice speed.

As for why the powerful ability to increase the speed of practice can only be ranked second, it is because there is another function that is more important - the state of the practice is related to the upper limit of the cultivation level.

Taking the Five Beasts Body Art as an example, if it is only at the entry level, Zhong Cang can only improve his physical cultivation to the third level of Qi training if he tries his best. If he wants to advance his physical cultivation to the fourth level of Qi training, There are no doors.

This is also the reason why Zhong Cang said, "If a senior monk wants to make a breakthrough, in addition to resources, he also needs a tough mind, understanding and a little opportunity."

...

"Except for special skills such as the Sword of Wuming Intention, other skills are not too difficult to go from beginner level 1 to level 2 proficiency, and even mastery of level 3. You can improve it with time. Only masters of level 4 can master it. It’s a threshold.”

"And the upper limit of mastery in the third level is perfect Qi training."

"Without super comprehension and a little opportunity, it is difficult for ordinary monks to rely on themselves to break through to the level 4 master, and the level of kung fu is related to the upper limit of cultivation. Therefore, building a foundation is the number one priority for all monks. A difficult point."

"However, at this stage, monks can still rely on the Foundation Establishment Pill to forcibly break through. This also belongs to the category of resource accumulation, but there is no such easy-to-use pill when the foundation is built."

"You can no longer use resources to forcefully break through. This is also the reason why the higher the cultivation level, the higher the monks' requirements for mind and understanding."

When thinking about various points about the advancement of the technique, Zhong Cang also thought about his own physical cultivation.

"Because I didn't practice diligently in the previous body, the strengthening of my physique by the Five Beasts Yunshenjue is only at the level of Qi training level... Fortunately, spiritual energy can also feed back my body. The cultivation base of the third level of Qi training, coupled with a little practice With a little bit of the Five Beasts Yun Shen Jue, my physical cultivation is now at the second level of Qi training."

"And Yan Lingdie, because of the Heavenly Flame Spiritual Sutra, is at least at the level of the fourth level of Qi training, and is the best among the four levels of Qi training... This is also her sword strike, and I used the heart of the sword to stimulate my body With the full potential of Reiki, it also resists difficult causes.”

After thinking about this, Zhong Cang was not disappointed, but filled with joy.

"There is no need for superior physical fitness, or even equality. Even if I am weak, I can still win with the super swordsmanship skills attached to Kenshin!"

"If my physical cultivation reaches the third level of Qi training, I might be able to defeat her!"

"And the power of the elixir can strengthen my physical fitness to the third level of Qi training in the shortest possible time."

This is the origin of Zhong Cang's confidence.

However, just as he was thinking beautifully, the maid opposite spoke.

"Sir, your elixir. There are five spiritual stones for Laurel Incense and one spiritual stone for Red Blood Pill and Snow Jade Ointment. How many copies do you want?"

"...so expensive!"

Complaining in his heart, Zhong Cang still said with blood dripping from his heart:

"Just one stick of laurel incense, red blood elixir and snow jade ointment, get ten portions of each!"

"Yes, sir. Chenghui has twenty-five spiritual stones."

When she wrapped the elixir and handed it to Zhong Cang, the maid from Sihai Pavilion thought of something and quickly reminded her.

"By the way, sir, although the Red Blood Pill and the Snow Jade Cream are both body refining pills, one should be taken internally and the other externally. One is of ice type and the other is of fire type. Ice and fire are incompatible. If taken at the same time, there will be severe effects. pain of."

Hearing this, Zhong Cang was not afraid, but smiled and said: "But if you take them at the same time, the effect of body refining will be doubled, right? I remember that in the elixir booklet given by you Sihai Pavilion, it was specifically written Understand this.”

"It is true, but few can persist."

After finishing speaking, Zhong Cang's expression was calm, and the maid opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

As a maid in the Sihai Pavilion, she has the obligation to remind the monks of the side effects of the elixirs purchased - this is also one of the reasons why the Sihai Pavilion has a good reputation. They will never hide the negative effects of the elixirs and magical artifacts they sell, but will Do your best to identify and remind.

However, all these maids can do is to remind the monk who bought the elixir how to do it, she can't comment.

However, although there was no way to stop him, the maid still shook her head when she saw the back of Zhong Cang who was gradually leaving.

This scene happened to be met by a passing maid. Seeing this, she couldn't help asking.

"What's the matter? Xiaoyao, are you uncomfortable? I can help you get off work."

"I'm fine. I just met another person who thinks he is special. That person wants to take Red Blood Pill and Snow Jade Cream at the same time. Hehe, Xiaoying, how long do you think he can last, once or twice? I think once It’s also difficult, as far as I’ve heard, taking the Chixue Pill and Xueyu Cream together will not only cause unbearable pain, but also an itching that is devoured by thousands of ants..."

Speaking of this, the maid serving Zhong Cang couldn't help but shudder.

The later maid Xiaoying did not comment on this matter. She just sighed helplessly and said sternly to Xiaoyao: "Don't speak ill of the customers in the store. If you are complained, your job will be ruined." Lost."

This consequence made Xiao Yao afraid.

Shrinking her neck, she hugged Xiaoying, a little scared, and even more flattering: "It's not you who asked, but I just said it. I'm not stupid. I will never say it to others. "

"I didn't ask, and besides, I can't even say..."

Zhong Cang didn't know what happened next.

Zhong Cang also had expectations for the pain and itching of ants when taking Xueyu Ointment and Chixue Pill at the same time, but he still planned to take it at the same time.

This is not because he is arrogant, but because he has certainty.

"According to the records in the pill booklet, only one out of eight hundred monks can withstand the pain of taking Xueyu Ointment and Chixue Pill at the same time."

"There is no doubt that my will is not that tough."

"But it doesn't matter, it will shoot!"
