Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

Chapter 290 Miao Kefa

Half an hour before the lecture, the square was already full of people.

The monks chatted together in groups of three or five, and the content of the conversation was naturally related to today's protagonist—Miao Kefa.

"If we knew that we could become the elders of the sect if we had completed the first-level spells, we should have spent more time practicing spells."

"Hehe, Brother Zhang is just in his early thirties, so it's not too late to fix it now."

"Hey, I practice alchemy next to the furnace every day, and I am so tired that I don't even want to talk when I get out of the alchemy room. There is no time..."

Zhao Lin had nothing to do, so he let go of his hearing, listened to what the monks were saying, and looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw a few monks wearing brown robes standing not far in front of them, with the word "Dan" embroidered on their chests. At first glance, they were alchemists from the county.

Speaking of which, Zhao Lin also thought about becoming a alchemy cultivator, so that he could make alchemy, so he didn't have to spend all his energy accumulating meritorious deeds to exchange for alchemy.

But when he got a deep understanding of the relevant information, he quickly dismissed the idea.

Those who are all over the body are not silkworm farmers... Can you get a share of the elixir made by an alchemist?That's overthinking.

The sect has no shortage of alchemists, but what it lacks is spirit grass.

Take Zhuji Pill as an example, it needs hundreds of kinds of spirit herbs, among which more than [-] kinds of rare spirit herbs have strict requirements on the age, if the age cannot be met, they cannot be used as medicine at all.

It is very difficult to find these spiritual herbs in the wild, and even if they are found, they cannot be gathered together. Only a few medicinal fields in the sect that have been passed down for thousands of years produce a certain amount of output every year.

To become an alchemist, there is a high probability of becoming an alchemy tool person, who endures high-temperature baking next to the furnace every day, and constantly refines some low-level elixirs for daily consumption by monks in the sect, or for sale in the market.

The alchemy room has a special elixir supervisor, all the elixirs that are refined must be handed in in full, even if the elixir is discarded, it must be collected uniformly.

It's impossible to imitate a chef's cooking skills.

Of course, the treatment of powerful alchemists is also excellent.

However, if you want to practice successfully in alchemy, you must learn more than a dozen spells such as sifting medicine, controlling fire, turning cauldron, and congealing alchemy.

Although Zhao Lin has a spiritual map to help him learn spells, he can't use all nine grids to practice fire spells.

Putting all your eggs in one basket is not his style.

The alchemist who spoke first had a big beard, he didn't know if he was born with it, or he was smoked by the stove, his face was flushed, and his beard was also curled up in a mess.

The bearded man sighed, and then said: "My dust filtering technique has already achieved a small degree of success, and I may be able to master it in the past two years. Should I work harder to perfect it?"

Standing next to him, a tall and thin alchemist chuckled, "Brother Zhang, you also came from the Spiritual Dao Institute, don't you know the truth of practicing spells and traveling a hundred miles?"

"From proficiency to mastery, the time and energy it takes is much more difficult than it is from beginners to proficiency!"

"Besides, we are alchemists, even if we have two spells to perfection, we can't become the elders of the sect."

The bearded man was not happy when he heard it, and retorted with a calm face: "What's the reason? They are all sect monks, why can't we alchemists do it?"

The tall and thin monk shook his head and said: "Miao Kefa cultivates the art of killing and cutting, which is different from us."

The bearded man frowned and said, "The art of killing is a spell, but isn't the spell of alchemy a spell?"

Several other alchemists also said: "That's right, Brother Li's saying that makes you look down on the art of alchemy, right?"

"Dan Talisman Array, we can occupy one of them!"

The tall and thin monk said: "Miao Kefa cultivates both offensive spells, and his combat power is comparable to that of a mid-stage foundation-building monk."

The bearded man curled his lips, and said with a sneer, "So what if the combat power is comparable to that of the monks in the middle stage of foundation establishment? Even if there are monks in the late stage of foundation establishment, are there still few in the sect?"

The tall and thin monk asked back: "Then why don't you see them become the elders of the sect?"

The bearded man was suddenly speechless.

Now several other alchemists also became curious.

"Brother Li, tell me why."

"Yes, don't be fooled..."

The tall and thin monk had a black mole at the corner of his mouth, and a tuft of long hair grew on the mole. He stroked the long hair on the mole twice proudly.

"Miao Kefa's becoming an elder of the sect is only one of the reasons for him to cultivate his spells to perfection, and what is more important is his achievements."

The bearded man wondered: "What achievement? He has to be a Qi Refining cultivator?"

The tall and thin monk smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid you have forgotten that some small worlds can only be entered by monks in the Qi Refining Realm."

"Miao Kefa entered the Yinkui Realm and Xuansha Realm several times, and obtained the precious spiritual grass necessary for the Zongmen's Ascension Dragon Pill, and that's why he won such an honor..."

Speaking of this, the tall and thin cultivator remained silent, but the alchemists looked stunned.

Zhao Lin also understood, and thought it was so.

The Chenghua sect has nine small worlds under its jurisdiction, referring to the nine small worlds that are populated by a large number of people and formed a civilization. In fact, there are many small worlds that are desolate and uninhabited.

Some small worlds are empty, with no living beings, while others are full of evil spirits, where fierce beasts are rampant, and some small worlds are filled with dark energy, and ghosts are everywhere...

Although there are no human traces, these small worlds are not useless, and there are also some exotic flowers and plants growing in them.

Pills pay attention to monarchs and ministers assisting envoys, and many realm-breaking pills are sometimes accompanied by spirit grass that grows in evil places.

These spiritual herbs are difficult to cultivate in the Zongmen's medicine fields.

For this reason, the sect needs to send people into the small world to search.

But the small world is a world of its own, and the laws of heaven in it are quite different from those in the Xuanyuan Continent.

For the Heavenly Dao there, the monks are "foreign objects", so the Heavenly Dao's suppression of the monks is also extremely ruthless.

The higher the cultivation level, the harder it is suppressed.

When monks in the Foundation Establishment Realm enter it, the Dao Foundation will be eroded, which is very detrimental to practice. If they dare to use attacking spells, the Dao of Heaven will strike them with several times the force.

There are even small worlds where as soon as a cultivator in the Purple Mansion Realm enters, he will be directly bombarded by thunder.

Because of the low level of cultivation, the monks in the Qi Refining Realm have little suppression from the Dao of Heaven, but they are like a fish in water, basically unaffected.

But on the other hand, the ghosts of the evil beasts in the small world are not restricted by the heaven and the earth, and their strength is often extremely powerful. Ordinary Qi Refining Realm monks will die if they enter.

This requires that the monks who enter the Qi Refining Realm must have combat power beyond the same realm, and the stronger the better, otherwise they will not be able to survive there.

For this reason, Qi Refining Realm monks with high combat power have always been valued.

Lu Yuanxiu, Zhao Lin's senior in the Xingyun Sect, also accumulated enough good deeds and succeeded in breaking through by taking the Foundation Establishment Pill because of his strong martial arts combat power.

Although Zhao Lin really wanted to build a stable foundation, but at present, he may have to follow the same path as Lu Yuanxiu and Miao Kefa.

After hearing what the thin and tall monk said, several alchemists fell silent.

Although they also know one or two offensive spells, they all have only beginner or proficient attainments, and they are still compulsory spells learned in the Lingdao Academy.

It has been abandoned for many years now, and it is difficult to pick it up again.

Seeing this, the tall and thin monk smiled indifferently: "Actually, we don't need to be envious. Miao Kefa has made great achievements many times, but his cultivation has always stopped at the eighth level of Qi Refining."

"It is said that practice has hurt the foundation, but I don't think it is credible. I have heard a rumor that may be closer to the truth."

Everyone asked, "What rumors?"

"He was actually besieged by ghosts in the Yinkui Realm and suffered heavy injuries. Although he regained his life, no matter what panacea he used, he couldn't recover."

"Otherwise, with his accumulated good deeds, what injuries can't heal?"

When several alchemists heard this, their hearts were also balanced.

"Hey, I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet? It seems that this credit is not easy to get!"

"Yeah, let's practice alchemy well. Although the accumulation of good deeds is slow, it is safe and secure."

"That's right, everyone has their own way, so we don't have to be envious. Although Miao Kefa accumulates good deeds quickly, he is in danger of dying at any time. Taking a step back, even if we don't build a foundation, we qi refining monks can What kind of life do you want to live to be a hundred or so years old?"

……

Everyone waited until the third quarter of the hour when Miao Kefa finally appeared and stepped onto the podium.
