My group members have a promising future

Chapter 73 The Abbot is Petty

-------
[Ye Fan: "That means I can't do it, right?"]

[Xu Zhuo: "Don't be discouraged. Even if you can't practice it, you can watch me practice."]

Fuck you!

[Ye Fan: "I won't talk to you anymore. I still have to hurry to Yaochi."]

The old site of Yao Chi was close to the Taichu Ancient Mine and far away from the Holy City, so it would take him some time to travel.

I should have borrowed Gou Zi's ancient golden chariot earlier, but when I think about it, Gou Zi is so stingy that he probably won't lend it to me.

[Xiao Yan: "This topic is so profound, I can't even get a word in."]

[Fang Han: "Yan said that double pupils are a symbol of extraordinary talent and are naturally suited for cultivation."]

[Xu Zhuo: "The double pupils in each world should be different."]

【Luo Feng: "I have a question. What exactly does a double pupil look like? Is it concentric circles or ∞?"】

[Xu Zhuo: "I don't know, but I have practiced this to form concentric circles."]

Purple and gold, the two divine lights transformed into pupils, one large and one small, overlapping each other, and their centers are the same.

【Luo Feng: "That's good. I think it looks better than ∞."】

【Xu Zhuo: "Yeah, I think so too."】

After chatting for a while, it was time for Xu Zhuo to depart and he started checking tickets.

And this time their means of transportation is...

驴？
If that huge beast pulling the cart could be called a donkey.

It has gray hair and four hooves. Standing on the platform, its shoulders are taller than Xu Zhuo's, and its size is even larger than that of an elephant.

But it really looks like an enlarged version of a donkey!

At this moment, a man sitting astride the back of the gray-haired beast turned around. He had a long and thin face and narrowed eyes, giving people the feeling that he was always smiling.

"Are all the people here? The trouble at the back should be dealt with quickly."

Upon hearing this, the people behind quickly came over.

"Thirty-six. Yes, all the new students from Pingcheng are here." The man on the donkey counted the number of people, then put on a fake smile that looked like he was working hard, "Hello, my dear classmates. I am your teacher Xia Yongxiao. Please follow me closely. I will take you to the academy."

Someone asked, "Teacher, how do we get there?"

"Let's go on foot." Xia Yongxiao answered while sitting on the donkey's back, then he patted the donkey's back gently, and the donkey under him started running with all four hooves spread out.

It runs, and it runs fast!

what?
Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that they had to walk, but wasn't the distance from here to the edge of the restricted area still more than two hundred miles?

What's more, the academy is some distance away from the edge of the restricted area. Do they have to walk three hundred miles?

Moreover, that is a mountainous area, not a flat land, so the actual distance is longer than the straight-line distance.

"Should we catch up?" a boy suddenly asked.

"Depend on!"

One of them cursed angrily and then ran away.

The others did the same, carrying their luggage and chasing after them.

On the road, a big donkey was running wildly in front, and a group of young people carrying luggage were chasing it from behind.

When they arrived at the restricted area security post, the soldiers and officers on duty burst into laughter at the sight of this group of happy young men and women.

"Come on, juniors."

"Run faster, the first one to arrive will get a reward."

"The one who falls behind gets no food!"

……

Xu Zhuo: Damn the cane. He was the one walking at the back.

The donkey was moving quite fast, and luckily all the new students were monks, so they could keep up even with their luggage.

After passing the guard post, there was wilderness. There were no paved roads, not even paths. It was overgrown with weeds and branches. The plants were extremely dense, tens of meters high, blocking out the sun. It was very dark in the shade of the trees, and all kinds of vines were intertwined, so they had to clear their own way.

Fortunately, the person walking in front was quite capable. Xu Zhuo could see that his Qigong magnetic field was very strong. He waved his hand and his energy was as strong as a knife. He cut through the thorns and opened a path.

The big donkey disappeared while running. Its huge body did not even create a path. Everyone could only hear words like "walk faster" and "don't fall behind" coming from the front from time to time.

I only heard the sound, but didn't see anyone.

The road became steeper and they began to climb.

After climbing for a while, it's downhill, then uphill, and then downhill again.

This process was repeated as the altitude gradually increased. Xu Zhuo could feel the energy of heaven and earth becoming richer with every breath he took.

This is the most basic type of vital energy, which is gentle and easy to absorb, and has no specific attributes.

But it is also rare in plains, and is only more concentrated in mountains or deep sea abysses.

Living in this kind of environment for a long time is indeed much better than living in a city on the plains. Just look at the lush vegetation here.

After climbing over several steep cliffs in succession, the people in front found it much more difficult to walk. The branches and vines blocking the road here became thicker and tougher, the trees became bigger and bigger, and huge trees that required dozens of people to hug could be seen everywhere.

The person leading the way was a young man with a square face. His qigong magnetic field seemed very strong and solid. He did not look tired after leading the way for such a long time and kept running at his usual speed. The people behind him had to run to catch up with him.

Xu Zhuo was strolling in the back, observing his classmates and the surrounding environment. At this time, a baby-faced boy in front of him turned around and spoke to him, "Classmate, what's your name?"

"Xu Zhuo."

"My name is Ge Changqing."

Maybe he was a little bored on the road and finally found someone to chat with, his tone became happy.

"Hey, do you think the teacher wants us to walk in order to warn us?" He asked a strange question.

Xu Zhuo was speechless. Can't he see this?

"...Maybe it's just to help us adapt to the environment. After all, the higher we go, the richer the energy of heaven and earth becomes."

Ge Changqing is at the third level of Qigong. Xu Zhuo observed him and found that he seemed to be one of the weakest ones.

The male student leading the way in front should be the strongest among these dozens of students. His qigong magnetic field is extremely stable. He has more than one dantian qi sea to suppress it. Obviously, he has opened up multiple acupuncture points to store vital energy and has multiple anchor points.

Is the sixth stage of Qigong the realm of Tongqiao?
At this level, even if one is practicing lower-grade Qigong, the total amount of vital energy is dozens of times that of the fifth level, because there are many more acupoints for storing vital energy.

He took another close look at Ge Changqing and found that the other qigong magnetic fields were unstable. The vital energy in his body was exchanged with his breathing, and the vital energy of heaven and earth was sucked in. This was not a good phenomenon.

The human body's vital energy is the combination of life energy and soul power. The human body's vital energy is exhaled and the vital energy of heaven and earth is inhaled.

Such an exchange will cause the soul power to be integrated into fresh vital energy and automatically serve as the vital energy of the human body, but it will consume a large amount of soul power in a short period of time.

"Don't you find that your vital energy exchange is a little scattered? Hold the Yuan and keep One, stabilize your own vital energy, and when you absorb the vital energy of heaven and earth, only flush your physical body. Don't replace it into your meridian circulation." He reminded.

"Ah? Is that so?" Ge Changqing then realized that something was wrong. No wonder he felt a little tired.

Other people also have this symptom to some extent, it just depends on how long they can last.

Over time, the soul's power will be over-consumed, and it will become weak or even faint.

Ge Changqing adjusted his breathing, focused his mind on his vital energy, and stopped exchanging it casually. However, this state was a little difficult for him to maintain, and he had to be very nervous even when walking.

"I thought the teacher was deliberately making fun of us. After all, he doesn't look like a good person."

At this time, Xu Zhuo's keen spiritual sense, which had been cultivated through practicing the secret of the previous word, sounded an alarm that someone was paying attention to this side.

A powerful monk has very powerful senses.

So he reminded: "Don't talk nonsense."

If the teacher is as petty as the abbot in “The God of Cookery”, you’re doomed.
