Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

Chapter 281 The Way of Killing

Another two months passed in a blink of an eye.

Zhao Lin opened eleven qi apertures and was about to enter the second level of qi refining.

This kind of practice speed is not outstanding, it is not as good as those with high-grade spiritual roots among the disciples, and it is also normal among middle-grade spiritual roots.

But Zhao Lin knew that this was all due to the slow delay of the first two months of cultivation.

Three qi orifices were opened when the pulse was opened, and three qi orifices were opened in the first two months, but in the last two months, five qi orifices were opened.

Comparing the two phases, the effect is remarkable.

Of course, only he himself knows the hardships involved.

Others practiced for an hour, but he had to practice for three hours, and there was a violent failure to punch the orifices, which led to a painful lesson of burning the meridians and boiling the pulse.

Although the body healed itself quickly, it was quite unpleasant.

Zhao Lin roughly estimated that his current cultivation speed is close to the top-grade spiritual root, which is all due to the spirit of Pipa catfish.

But the most dazzling among the disciples is Lin Chaoran.

As everyone expected, he broke through to the third level of Qi refining, leaving everyone far away.

But after that, his cultivation speed also slowed down.

This is a normal phenomenon: the higher the cultivation level, the more qi apertures need to be maintained, and the difficulty increases step by step.

In the past two months, Zhao Lin not only improved his cultivation, but also improved the two most basic spells: Qi Wang and Ling Dao to the "beginner" level.

The technique of watching qi can check the monk's cultivation level, and watching the aura is a compulsory spell for all sects, and it is the first essential technique.

Qi Wangshu is at the entry level, and one can only see roughly which small realm a monk in the Qi Refining Realm is in, but the specific level can only be seen when he has cultivated to the "proficient" and "small success" levels.

If you reach the first level of proficiency, you can not only observe spiritual energy, but also see corpse energy, yin energy, monster energy, evil spirit energy, gang energy energy, etc.

If one achieves great success and consummation, one can survey the earth's veins, and even spy on the cultivation of high-ranking monks.

The qi technique is an auxiliary spell, but the spirit knife technique is the real way to kill.

Zhao Lin's choice to practice Spiritual Saber was naturally out of consideration for his status as a martial artist.

Spirit knife technique is a general term for a class of spells.

If water is used to drive spiritual power, it is water saber technique, and if wood is used to drive it, it is wood saber technique.

In fact, the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, as well as the two elements of wind and ice can all practice spiritual knife skills.

Only the Lightning genus is powerful, but it goes straight and lacks change, and there is no Thunder Saber technique.

This spell focuses on flexibility, so Zhao Lin decided to practice Wind Saber after careful consideration.

Although the wind knife technique is a first-order spell, its power should not be underestimated if it is cultivated to the perfect state.

The tiers of spells are distinguished by the requirements for mana, and the power of first-tier spells may not be weaker than second-tier spells.

According to senior brother Chuan Gong, if the Spiritual Saber technique is perfected, it can even kill a monk in the Foundation Establishment Realm with one blow.

It can also be seen from this that low-level monks can challenge high-level monks if they practice low-level spells to the extreme.

Of course, every time a spell is upgraded, the difficulty of cultivation increases exponentially. If you want to practice a first-level spell to perfection, the difficulty is not much easier than building a foundation.

Overall, Zhao Lin is quite satisfied with his practice.

The only trouble is that the spirit beast picture is still "lying down", and I don't know when it will be restored.

……

"Agility is the first priority in Spiritual Saber Technique, followed by power. When casting a spell, you must lock it with your spiritual consciousness, so that you can control it freely, like an arm and a finger."

"Otherwise it is a dead knife, the enemy is not a wooden stake, and a flying knife that cannot change is no threat!"

In the Yanfa Pavilion, a thirty-year-old monk of medium build and iron face and sword eyebrows was talking eloquently.

There are more than a dozen disciples sitting under the stage, half of them are new disciples this year, and the other half are "old disciples" who have been disciples for a year or two.

The spells taught by Lingdao Academy are divided into two types: "Compulsory" and "Elective".

In addition to several compulsory spells such as qi hope and body protection, disciples can freely choose the spells they want to practice according to their own attributes and preferences.

There are many first-order spells, such as diving, repelling objects, fixed wind, cloud transformation, five elements, earth stabbing, water illusion, fireball, healing, divine movement...

There are tens of thousands of ways, and the art of killing only accounts for a small part of them.

In the same way, there are thousands of monks in Hanchi County, but most of them are engaged in spiritual farming, beast control, planting, and weapon refining, and less than one-tenth of them are really good at martial arts.

Compared with killing, disciples are more willing to practice some spells related to Taoism.In this way, you can cultivate with peace of mind and stability, and you can also earn Lingshi, killing two birds with one stone.

However, if you practice the art of killing, you can only rely on combat power to obtain various resources, and you may be sent to perform dangerous missions, which greatly increases the danger.

Unlike others, Zhao Lin, as a martial artist, has almost no choice.

It's hard to imagine a Wuxiu raising bees and silkworms in the garden, playing with flowers and plants, which is equivalent to giving up his specialties.

Since you are a martial arts practitioner, you should go your own way wholeheartedly, looking around, you can only confuse your Daoist mind!

Moreover, Zhao Lin still had one thought in his practice of killing and cutting.

Every three years, Cheng Huazong will conduct a "fighting method" within the entire sect.

Those who stand out in fighting skills can get benefits such as spirit stones, magic weapons, elixirs, and good deeds.

When Zhao Lin first heard the news, he felt a little elated. He may not be good at anything else, but he has a natural advantage in fighting.

But when he understood the details of the fighting method, his heart was half cold.

It turns out that Zongmen Doufa is divided into groups according to age. If you want to participate in the competition of the youth group, you must be a disciple of the Lingdao Academy under the age of 20.

Zhao Lin will soon be 32 years old, so he will definitely not be able to enter this group.

There is also an elite group, where all monks under the age of 40 can participate.

Those who can enter this group are basically young monks with eighth and ninth levels of Qi refining, and all of them are elites in the sect and wizards of Taoism.

Compared with these people, Zhao Lin's advantage no longer exists.

But after thinking about it, he decided to focus on this.

The reason is good deeds!

The so-called good deeds can be understood as a currency that is only circulated within the sect, and it is a high-value currency.

Good deeds can be exchanged for elixirs, exercises, spirit stones, and even cultivation caves, but not vice versa.

If the alchemy is refined well, the spiritual grass is cultivated well, or a talisman is created... Only by making contributions to the sect can one obtain good deeds.

Participating in Zongmen Doufa is the only way that Zhao Lin can think of and is suitable for him to obtain good deeds.

The purpose of his good deeds is nothing else, only for Jidan!

Cultivation is inseparable from pills, especially in the middle and late stages of Qi refining, Ningyuan Dan and Huanggu Dan can help monks break through the bottleneck between Qi refining layers.

And the Foundation Establishment Pill can greatly increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment.

There are so many disciples in Chenghua Sect, it is impossible to supply each disciple with a sufficient amount of pills.

Except for the talent of the earth spirit root like Lin Chaoran, there is no need to worry about the elixir. Most disciples can only rely on the accumulation of good deeds to exchange for the qualification to take the elixir.

Zhao Lin has always planned ahead, and he has already set his sights on Zhuji Dan since the beginning of his cultivation.

"All the disciples gathered in the square... including teaching the exercises and acting as disciples."

At this time, a voice like Hong Zhong Dalu sounded from Lingdao Academy.
