Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

The first three items are self-explanatory and their uses can be known by their names. You can directly store them in capsules. The black iron and five elements spiritual soil can be taken out and given to the right people when the chance arises.

Li Zheng was most interested in the last two martial arts secret books, which he flipped through.

The first one is naturally the so-called "Chun Yuan Gong" technique which is very popular in the streets.

The text in the exercises was also very mysterious. Even though one did not recognize it, it seemed to trigger one's instincts, and anyone who saw it could understand its meaning.

There is only a strange symbol on the first page, but according to Li Zheng's understanding, it is enough to write a book.

To summarize it briefly, the general idea is: "Chun Yuan Gong" is the most basic method of cultivation. The wonderful thing about it is that it can be practiced together with any other method without infringing on each other, and there is absolutely no possibility of going astray when practicing "Chun Yuan Gong".

It is rumored in the Eight Desolations that many magic practitioners will also practice "Pure Yuan Gong" as a supplement, trying to reduce the probability of themselves going astray due to practicing magic techniques, but this statement has never been effectively confirmed.

This is because most magic practitioners will fall into the state of obsession at some point and be doomed from no return.

The biggest drawback of "Pure Yuan Gong" is that its practice progress is extremely slow and there is no way to take shortcuts by using spirit-absorbing stones. Even a monster with a single-attribute spiritual root cannot quickly achieve success.

If the quality of the spiritual roots is slightly inferior, it will be impossible to cultivate on the right path throughout one's lifetime.

Therefore, "Pure Yuan Gong" can only be used as a supplementary practice in the Eight Desolate Continent. If it is taken as the main practice, there is no hope of achieving enlightenment in this lifetime.

Finally, the greatest use of "Chun Yuan Gong" is that it can increase the success rate of breaking through to the Jindan stage. In other words, after breaking through the Jindan stage, this technique has no use value.

At the end of the first page, it is also noted that this method is not picky about the attributes and quality of "qi" when practicing. It can be practiced in blessed places, in wild and fierce areas, and even in the demon world and devil world full of evil spirits and miasma, this method can also be practiced safely.

In a sense, although "Chun Yuan Gong" is very popular, it is not completely without its merits. Some of its characteristics are even more domineering than those of higher-level exercises.

"Why do I feel like this kind of technique is only used by the protagonists in fantasy novels?"

Li Zheng raised his eyebrows: "The practice is slow but the process is more stable, without the risk of going astray. Is it possible that because the practice is slow, the foundation is more stable?"

Moreover, this martial art may be considered useless to the so-called Eight Desolate World, but it is a real god-level martial art to the universe where Li Zheng is.

Because this world is poor in spiritual energy, higher-level magic techniques such as the Wanxie Magic Art require the assistance of spiritual stones to be practiced. However, this "Chun Yuan Gong" is not picky about the type of "qi" and can be promoted to the whole nation, allowing people to enter the Sin Realm and use the black fog to practice.

There is no need to worry about "going astray", that is, you will not be infected by the high concentration of negative emotions contained in the black fog.

Presumably, as long as there are enough people entering the black fog to practice "Pure Yuan Gong", sooner or later all the black fog in the universe will be drained out!

"Hmm, quite interesting. I'll give this thing to the terminal when I get back and promote it to all races in the outer city." Li Zheng put away the Pure Yuan Gong and thought, "If anyone doesn't accept it, I'll have the terminal issue a national mission. Everyone must enter the Sin Domain regularly to practice this technique. Otherwise, they will be fined or even expelled to the wilderness!"

Next up is “Barbaric Lion’s Roar”.

Just by looking at the name of this secret book, one can tell that it must be one of the methods used by the small fry in fantasy novels. But after reading it, Li Zheng discovered that although the grade of this technique is not high, the upper limit is surprisingly high.

Once this thing is mastered, its power depends on the practitioner's own strength.

When the realm is low, the lion roar can only break the eardrums of enemies below the same realm. If the strength is slightly stronger, it can directly shake the attacker's brain into mud. If it is even stronger, it can directly attack the "Purple Mansion".

Purple Mansion is one of the realms of cultivation in the Eight Desolate Worlds, and it is also a link that must be experienced in the process of cultivation. It is in the latter stage of refining essence to nourish qi, refining qi to nourish spirit, and refining spirit to return to emptiness. One can open up Purple Mansion between the eyebrows to liberate "divine thoughts". The description of "Purple Mansion" and "divine thoughts" is very similar to Li Zheng's concepts of "spiritual world" and "materialized spiritual body".

It was rumored that a powerful Yuanshen Realm warrior from the wilderness once used the Lion's Roar Technique with all his strength when attacking a certain sect. With just one roar, the purple palaces of all the purple palace realm disciples in that sect were shattered, and their spirits dissipated! Because this technique was too overbearing, the Eight Desolate World quickly developed a method to target it, so that people of the same level could defend without damage.

Because of this, the Savage Lion Roar Technique was downgraded from the original high-level earth level to the yellow level. If it weren't for this story, Li Zheng would not have been able to draw this secret book from the yellow-level treasure chest this time.

"Good boy, do you mean I got a bargain?"

Li Zheng savored it and couldn't help but complain: "It's more like a fantasy novel! Isn't this kind of behavior of picking up bargains a standard feature of the protagonist?"

It would take some time for the high-level evil spirits to be nurtured, so Li Zheng decided to take this opportunity to read the secret manual of the Savage Lion's Roar in its entirety. It didn't matter whether he could learn it quickly or not. What mattered was that as long as he finished reading it, and after he entered the formless state, he would be able to use it with "absolute concentration."

Judging from the characteristic of Lion's Roar that it can cause damage to "divine thoughts", high-level evil spirits are just restrained.

The probability of capturing it and exchanging it for fantasy points is still very high.

"I'm afraid that after entering the state of formlessness, I might not be gentle enough and kill the higher-level evil spirits."

Li Zheng has not yet mastered the method of controlling himself in the formless state. Even his absurdly strong mental power cannot keep him awake in the formless state. Or it can be said that it is a change that transcends the spiritual level. Li Zheng temporarily calls it "soul perversion."

Only a change at the soul level can result in such a complete loss of consciousness.

but……

Li Zheng turned his head to look at the body of clone No. 996 not far away, and suddenly thought that the other clones did not seem to have mastered the formless state, and might not even know that the original body had a formless physique.

This is an advantage that gives him an edge over other clones, and even over Terminal and Void, two existences formed by the different consciousness tendencies of the original body.

The skills and secret manuals in the Eight Desolations world are often very thin because they are written in mysterious characters. Millions or even tens of millions of words are compressed into dozens or hundreds of symbols. They can be read very quickly, but it takes some time to understand.

Fortunately, Li Zheng himself doesn’t need to fully understand it for the time being. As long as he can understand it in the formless state, it will be enough.

He quickly flipped through the secret book, and while waiting for the high-level evil spirits to mature, he took the opportunity to digest some of the secret book's contents.

About half a day later, the system prompt sounded in Li Zheng's ears.

[High-level evil spirits have been bred and can be exchanged for fantasy points after being captured. 】

Li Zheng stopped thinking, looked up at the black spirit floating in front of him, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The high-level evil spirit seemed to sense something was wrong and fled deeper into the sin realm without looking back. Its black figure soon merged with the black fog.

Li Zheng slowly emptied his mind, his eyes gradually becoming lifeless and empty.

The next second, he disappeared from the spot.

In the distance, a roar as if from a ferocious beast in ancient times exploded.

  Boom boom boom~

The black-level twisted beasts within ten miles didn't even have time to react. Their heads exploded and their mountain-sized bodies fell to the ground like a tidal wave, deader than death. (End of this chapter)
