Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 9 Basic Exercises
Looking at the exercises in his hands, Lu Zhong's expression was uncertain.

This "Qingyang Yuxuan Gong", as soon as you listen to it, you will know that it is the practice of Qingyangmen.

In this way, the charred corpse he picked up was most likely a Qingyang Sect disciple who had been harmed by a demon cultivator.

There is a well-known taboo in Qingliu Ruins, that is, it is absolutely forbidden to secretly practice Qingyangmen's exercises.

Lu Zhong didn't dare to take this risk. After all, once Qingyang Yuxuan Gong was secretly practiced, there would be traces exposed.

Until then, everything will be over as soon as someone reports it.

"In this case, the things I got can't be exposed. Otherwise, it will easily attract the attention of Qingyangmen, and it will be a small matter if the things are taken back. If they are regarded as fellow demon cultivators, then..."

Thinking of this, Lu Zhong sighed and decided to hide the storage bag first and then talk about it when the limelight passed.

After taking a few sips, he calmed down a little. He touched the seven spirit stones in his pocket, and couldn't help but take one of them out and put it in his hand to examine it carefully.

Lingshi, as the name suggests, is a spar containing spiritual energy. According to the accepted theory in the world of comprehension, spiritual energy is deposited in naturally formed spar, and often appears in the form of mineral veins.

According to the different amount of spiritual energy contained, spiritual stones can be divided into four grades from low-grade to high-grade.

According to the customary practice in the cultivation world, spirit stones generally refer to low-grade spirit stones. Only spirit stones of middle-grade and above will be specially added with rank affixes.

For monks, spiritual stones are a stable and reliable source of spiritual energy, and are often used as energy sources.

Because it is a natural mineral, the spiritual stone is not suitable for direct absorption. The method of use is basically transformed through the spirit gathering array, and the pure aura that has been transformed is suitable for being refined by cultivators for personal use.

In the event of an emergency, it can be used for emergency recovery, but afterward, it is necessary to practice hard to remove the impurities absorbed into the body, so as to avoid adverse effects on future practice.

In the dimly lit hut, the spirit stone in Lu Zhong's hand was exuding a faint light.

"Well, how should I use this money? The rent is about to be paid, so one spirit stone cannot be moved. In order to plan for the next month, another spirit stone needs to be prepared... Talismans cannot be stopped. Next, at least buy a knife talisman paper to continue practicing... If there are still four spirit stones left, you can buy a basic exercise."

Thinking of the basic exercises, his eyes lit up.

"Yes, just use it to buy basic exercises!"

Without further thinking, Lu Zhong immediately pushed open the door and walked towards the Shufa Pavilion.

……

Today is not the day when the market opens, and there are no monks entering or leaving the Magic Pavilion.

When Lu Zhong raised his legs and stepped in, he found that the acquaintance who used to meet people with his nostrils on weekdays was gone, replaced by a blue-bearded middle-aged man in an apricot long gown. It is the middle stage of Qi refining.

It seems that this person seems to be taking stock.

Hearing someone coming in, the middle-aged man put down the account book in his hand, raised his head and laughed softly: "Qin Qingshu is in charge of the lower magic pavilion, I don't know if the distinguished guest is here to buy a magic technique, or is he going to choose a combined exercise?"

Without hesitation, Lu Zhong cupped his hands and replied, "I'll trouble steward Qin to choose a basic exercise for me."

"Well, no problem, I don't know how your spiritual roots are?" Qin Qingshu asked with a dagger.

The choice of the exercise method is very particular. If you choose the right one, you will get twice the result with half the effort. If you choose the wrong one, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

And no matter how you choose, the premise is that it must conform to the spiritual root attribute of the monk itself.

Otherwise, even if it is a Tianling root, it will still achieve nothing.

After knowing the attributes of Lu Zhong's Four Spiritual Roots, Qin Qingshu lightly rubbed his temples and closed his eyes to think about it. He clapped his hands for a long time and said, "I have already thought of a few exercises that are suitable for fellow Daoists. Go get the exercises."

It took him half an hour to leave.

When Qin Qingshu came back again, he was already holding a stack of books in his hand.

"Okay, that's all!" Qin Qingshu put a thick stack of basic exercises on the counter, then looked at Lu Zhong, and said, "Seeing that fellow Taoist is a loose cultivator, why don't you let me introduce it to your Excellency? how?"

Lu Zhong felt that it was necessary, after all, he was indeed a loose cultivator without a teacher.

Although the magic pavilion sells some popular exercises, it is not a reason to randomly choose one.

Thinking of this, he nodded.

Qin Qingshu saw it, smiled slightly, and picked up a book of basic exercises.

"Little Four Elephants Cultivating Qi, a rare four-attribute exercise, priced at [-] spirit stones."

"Although Daoist lacks golden spiritual roots, it is not impossible to cultivate. After practicing this skill, it can stimulate the four signs of true qi. Different attributes of true qi have their own magical effects. Among them, the green dragon true qi belongs to wood and can nourish the body. The white tiger has the effect of nourishing the body. True qi belongs to the golden palm killing, and pouring it into the magic weapon is very beneficial to fighting skills. Suzaku zhenqi belongs to fire, and it will gain a certain amount of fire spells. As for Xuanwu zhenqi, it is also wonderful. Blessing it on a defensive artifact can make it stronger."

Seeing that Lu Zhong did not speak, Steward Qin put down the "Little Four Elephants" and picked up another basic exercise.

"Shuimu Jianjue Qi Refining Chapter, dual-attribute exercises, priced at a hundred spirit stones."

"This method is a kendo technique. Just getting started can greatly improve your strength, but the follow-up cultivation process is extremely difficult, and those who are not mentally rock-solid can't do it. Fortunately, after the third level of training, you can send out sword beams to hurt the enemy. Although the power of the sword glow depends on one’s specific cultivation, it is still a good practice.”

Hearing this introduction, Lu Zhong was also a little moved, but he decided to finish listening to it.

On the other side, Manager Qin picked up a book of basic exercises again.

"Function Artifact, no attribute cultivation art, priced at five hundred spirit stones."

"As the name suggests, this is a practice method that integrates magic tools into itself to enhance strength. As long as the number of magic tools incorporated is more, the practitioner's strength will be stronger, and will eventually reach the state of invincibility during the Qi refining period. However, the disadvantages are also It is very obvious, first of all, it costs money, and then this practice only has the chapter on refining Qi, and there is no follow-up practice."

As if knowing that Lu Zhong would not choose "Rongqi Gong", Manager Qin picked up the last basic practice.

"Water, Fire, Greenwood, and Qi Refinement, a three-attribute exercise, priced at two hundred and fifty spirit stones."

"Water and fire are combined to help the evergreen wood. Those who practice this skill can bring a hint of green wood characteristics to their spiritual power. The green wood characteristics have advantages and disadvantages. The wood-based spells are stronger, making the wood-attribute magic weapon more powerful, and the disadvantage is that when you select the next stage of the exercise, it will be bound to the wood-attribute exercise."

After the introduction, Steward Qin stopped talking and waited for Lu Zhong to make a choice.

On Lu Zhong's side, after listening to Steward Qin's introduction, he was also relieved.

Maybe it's because it's a bad street practice, and there is only the Qi-refining chapter of the practice, so the price of these basic exercises is not high.

For Lu Zhong, he couldn't afford the water, fire and green wood technique, so he was the first to rule it out.

The same is true of Rongqigong. At first glance, you can tell that it is prepared for the rich, and it is not suitable for a small casual cultivation such as Lu Zhong. It can also be ruled out.

The rest are the Little Four Elephants and Shuimu Sword Art, which are a bit difficult to choose.

The Four Signs of True Qi can be used infinitely, but unfortunately Lu Zhong is short of gold in the Five Elements. Although Steward Qin said that he can also cultivate, it is estimated that he has to use tricks.The sword glow of Shuimu Jianjue looks good, but it is a kendo technique that is easy to learn and difficult to master.

After hesitating for a while, Lu Zhong made a difficult decision.

"I choose Shuimu Sword Art!"

"Oh, the choice of fellow Daoist is really surprising!"

Qin Guanshi thought that Lu Zhong would choose the Little Four Elephant Art, but he did not expect that the other party unexpectedly chose the Shuimu Sword Art.

Thinking of the recent appearance of the magic cultivator, he suddenly felt that maybe this would be a good choice.

Glancing at Lu Zhong who was not wearing the robe, Steward Qin said again, "Will you buy the whole article?"

"No! Separate, buy the first three floors first." Lu Zhong had already inquired about it. The basic exercises of the Shufa Pavilion can be bought separately, and it is very cheap to buy only the first three floors. A few spirit stones will be enough. buy.

"Okay, the price of the first three layers of exercises is three spirit stones." Qin steward's words were concise and to the point, selling a little is a little, and there is no reason to reject this deal.

After handing over the spirit stone, Lu Zhong got his wish and obtained the first three-level exercises in the Qi-refining chapter of Shuimu Jianjue.

"I'd like to remind you, remember not to spread the exercises, otherwise you will know." Qin Guanshi, who had collected other manuals on the side, warned without raising his head.

After hearing this, Lu Zhong froze in his heart and nodded quickly: "I know."

"Well, do you want to choose a spell? The pavilion has just bought a new batch of spells, and they are all good spells." Manager Qin recommends it as usual. Usually, customers who can afford basic exercises will want to buy one. The door low-level magic is close by.

And low-level spells are indeed cheap.
