Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

Chapter 289 Jade Slip
The surname of the manager of the confidential office is Wang, an old man with gray hair and a pale face.

When Zhao Lin walked in, he was holding an ancient book and was fascinated by it. From time to time, he took a sip of the fragrant tea in his hand, looking very leisurely.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Steward Wang looked up and saw that it was a young disciple from the Spiritual Dao Academy, so he ignored it and continued to read with his head down.

Zhao Lin knew that this person could be in charge of a place like this, so he must be someone trusted by the school, so he didn't take his attitude seriously, and cupped his hands and said, "I've seen Mr. Wang, I'm Zhao Lin, a disciple of the Spiritual Dao Academy, and I'm here to get it. good deeds."

Guanshi Wang was originally sullen, but he immediately laughed when he heard this.

Although he looks only five or sixty years old, his actual age is over ninety.

Before cultivating Taoism, he was a scholar who had failed for a long time in the Hanchi Realm. In order to gain fame, he spent all day studying sage books, and his temperament was somewhat pedantic.

After many years of practice, he still attaches great importance to mortal etiquette.

The disciples from the Lingdao Academy who came the day before yesterday called him senior brother, which made him very angry.

If they were in the mortal world, the grandfathers of these teenagers would probably be a generation shorter than themselves, so they would have the nerve to call themselves seniors?
Where is the code of ethics?

No way, these boys who don't understand etiquette have been rectified.

Zhao Lin's address made him very satisfied.

Wang Guanshi smiled and said: "Little friend, you are here to receive good deeds, right?"

He doesn't like young disciples calling him Senior Brother, but Zhao Lin calls him Old Wang, but he is willing to lower himself to show his closeness. This is the subtlety of human nature.

Zhao Lin was slightly taken aback, and thought to himself, didn't he just say that he came here to receive good deeds, why ask again?
Moreover, it is a little strange that this person is arrogant and respectful.

But he still replied: "That's right, I'm sorry for the trouble, Mr. Wang."

"No trouble, no trouble."

Guanshi Wang waved his hands again and again, and said, "Wait a minute, don't stand, sit down!"

While talking, he took out a wooden box from the cabinet beside him, rummaged through it for a while, and took out two pieces of jade, one green and one red.

The two pieces of jade are the same size, both three inches long and two inches wide, slightly smaller and thinner than the Lingshi.

Zhao Lin took the jade and was stunned for a moment, thinking that he came to receive good deeds, why did he give two pieces of jade?

Seeing this, Steward Wang laughed, "This is the jade slip, it's the first time I see you..."

Then he explained it kindly.

In fact, Zhao Lin has been in the sect for more than half a year, and many things have become clear. Of course, he also knows about the jade slip, but he has never seen it.

Hearing what Guanshi Wang said, he understood what he was holding in his hand.

Similar to spirit stones, jade slips are also a special kind of jade, but what is stored is not spiritual energy, but spiritual thoughts.

As long as a specific magic circle is refined in the jade slips, the spiritual thoughts can be transformed into words or even graphics.

Jade slips can be understood as books in the world of cultivating immortals. They can be used to pass on Taoism, record the monks' experience and insights, and can also be used as notes.

Compared with books, jade slips contain more content and are more convenient, and can easily copy content between jade slips.

In addition to ordinary jade slips, there is also a kind of true meaning jade slips, which can record more complex information such as sounds and images.

"Why are there two jade slips?"

Zhao Lin didn't rush to check, but asked.

"The red jade slip is also called the body stone, and your good deeds are recorded in it. The blue jade slip is for your own use."

Guanshi Wang said with a smile, "As for how to use it, you will know once you try it."

Zhao Lin was also a little curious, and immediately separated a ray of consciousness and sank into the cyan jade slip.

When the consciousness entered it, he immediately saw a long and narrow space, like a long scroll opened, with a vertical line every one foot or so, dividing the long scroll into multiple pages.

Zhao Lin knew that this was not a real space, nor could it be used to store items. It was just a mirror image displayed by the magic circle for monks to read.

With a thought, he wrote on the first page with his spiritual sense: Xuanyuan Continent.

Sure enough, these words appeared on the jade slip immediately, and with a second thought, these words were erased, which is quite miraculous.

Zhao Lin tried to draw a little bird again, and it was also finished with brush strokes, which was better than his usual strokes.

"interesting."

In front of outsiders, Zhao Lin couldn't wait too long, so he put down the blue jade slip and picked up the red one.

When the consciousness entered, a paragraph of text came into view: "Zhao Lin, a martial artist in the Hanchi Realm, joined the sect in the year of Renyin, with a middle-grade spiritual root, at the age of 31..."

"Accumulated good deeds: one hundred and three."

Zhao Lin immediately understood that this jade slip was equivalent to his personal file. As long as he showed this jade slip no matter where he went in Cheng Huazong, the local stewards would be able to know his identity.

Trying to write on it, but found that the jade slip did not respond. It seems that only the sect can use secret techniques to modify it.

Steward Wang warned: "The jade slips are important things, so you must keep them safe, especially the body stone, so don't lose them."

"In order to avoid being picked up as an impostor, Xiaoyou remembers to drop blood to make him recognize the owner when he goes back."

"Thank you, Mr. Wang, for reminding me."

Before leaving, Zhao Lin suddenly remembered something and asked, "Old Wang, please tell me, can good deeds be exchanged for spirit stones?"

It is very costly to analyze spells from the spiritual map, and a complete spell requires thousands of spirit stones.Zhao Lin is still in the apprenticeship stage and has no way to earn spirit stones.

Although good deeds are very important, as long as you practice spells well, you can earn more good deeds in the future, and it is not impossible to exchange a small amount for some.

Steward Wang raised his eyebrows and said, "You can exchange anything for good deeds, including spirit stones. But one good deed can only be exchanged for five spirit stones."

Zhao Lin was surprised: "So few?"

Manager Wang smiled "hehe", "So no one is willing to exchange good deeds for spirit stones."

"This rule was established at the beginning of the sect's establishment. At that time, spirit stones were scarce and more precious, so they were less exchanged."

"Now that the production of spirit stones is large, no one is willing to exchange for good deeds, and no one proposes to modify the rules, so it has been used forever."

Speaking of this, he said earnestly and earnestly: "You can do anything with good deeds, but don't use it to exchange spirit stones, it's not worth it!"

But at the end, I added a sentence, "Even if it is changed, it is not the way to change it."

Hearing what he meant, Zhao Lin changed his expression and asked, "Old Wang, good deeds cannot be transferred, right? What do you mean?"

Steward Wang smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "Of course good deeds cannot be transferred, but you can ask what other monks need. If you exchange good deeds, he will give you the spirit stone. Isn't that all right?"

Zhao Lin suddenly realized that this method is easy to say, but it may not be possible to think of it if no one mentions it, so he thanked him earnestly before leaving the confidential place.

……

In the morning, Qianbuya.

Zhao Lin sat cross-legged, doing his daily practice exercises as usual.

Inhale and exhale, move energy and move qi.

Just when the red sun had just risen, there was a soft "chi" sound from the body.

Zhao Lin was overjoyed, he finally broke through the No.13 acupoint and entered the second floor of Qi Refining.

There is a small gap between each layer of the Qi Refining Realm, and it took him twice as long as before to break through this Qi orifice.

After breaking through the first layer, it is obvious that the spiritual power in the body has increased slightly.

In the world of cultivating immortals, spiritual power and mana are often mixed together, but in fact the two are a little different.

A monk absorbs spiritual energy into the body, turns it into spiritual power, and then uses it to cast spells, which is mana power. The meanings of the two are similar, so it's no wonder some people can't tell the difference.

"The spiritual power has increased a bit, I wonder if it is possible to use spells to a small degree now?"

Zhao Lin breathed out a breath of white air, slowly collected his skills, and decided to stop here today, and go back later to try the Rock Armor Technique.

Although he has absorbed the spirit of Pipa Catfish, his cultivation speed is not too slow, even catching up with many disciples with high-grade spiritual roots, but Zhao Lin still has a sense of urgency.

There is no other reason, age is here.

Others are only in their teens, and they can follow the steps step by step, steadily and steadily, but I can't wait.

On the one hand, speed up the practice, and on the other hand, it is necessary to accumulate more meritorious deeds. One Foundation Establishment Pill will not make two, and two will not make three...

Zhao Lin once said a rumor that there is a small sect on the island south of Chenghua Sect, and the elder of the Zifujing Taishang of this sect has a great-great-great-grandson who is Fan Linggen.

The Supreme Elder's lifespan is nearing the end, in order to allow his great-great-grandson to build a foundation, he spared no effort to emptied his sect's family property for ten years, and embezzled a large number of precious pills for his great-great-grandson, among which there are more than 30 foundation building pills.

Relying on these elixir, forcefully push a mortal spirit root into the foundation-building realm.

However, his behavior also aroused public anger, and the sect quickly broke out in internal strife, and soon fell apart.

The rumors sounded a bit outrageous, Zhao Lin didn't believe it at first, but after asking Elder Wu, he didn't expect it to actually happen.

It can be seen from this that no matter how poor the aptitude is, as long as there are enough pills, at least one can enter the Foundation Establishment Realm.

I don't have such a grandpa, so I can only obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill by accumulating good deeds.

"Don't be afraid of the long road, as long as there is a road..."

Letting his thoughts wander for a while, when the sky was bright, Zhao Lin and his disciples went down the mountain together and walked towards the Lingdao Academy.

There are a lot of people in Lingdao Academy today, besides the disciples in the academy, there are also many monks who rushed over from other mountains.

Roughly counting, there were five to six hundred people, and most of the monks from Hanchi County were present.

The reason why everyone came here is because today is the day when Miao Kefa, the honorary elder of the sect, came to the county to give lectures.

When it comes to Miao Kefa, he is well-known in Cheng Huazong.

Although he only has the eighth level of Qi Refining, he is the only monk in the entire sect who has perfected two first-level spells.

Just because of his poor spiritual root aptitude and the fact that he accidentally injured his root during cultivation, taking various elixir including Foundation Establishment Pill failed to improve his cultivation.

But even so, Miao Kefa was awarded the title of Honorary Elder by the sect because of his achievements.

You must know that there are many elders in the sect, including county-level elders and state-level elders, but Miao Kefa is an elder at the sect level.

It has been extremely rare in the past to receive this honor with a cultivation base of Qi Refining Realm.

"Spell attainments are perfect...very good, if you don't hit me twice with spells today, don't even think about leaving!"

Zhao Lin stood in the crowd, staring at the high platform ahead, thinking anxiously and expectantly.
