Chapter 15 Meeting

The vortex formed in the body is constantly spinning and growing rapidly, opening up the spiritual space bit by bit at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

When the spiritual energy is exhausted and the whirlwind disappears, this time's work will be over.

Tang Jie felt the spiritual space carefully, and knew that there could be almost 80 drops of spiritual liquid, and he was getting closer and closer to the spiritual spring.

The big and small Zhoutians are all running faster and faster as they become proficient and their own vigor gradually becomes stronger. Otherwise, according to the basic speed, ten thousand drops will form an ocean, and they will not be able to reach the Linghai level in decades.

Tang Jie is now gradually proficient in the circulation of the heavens, and his sense of energy is getting better and better. He can do six or seven big heavens in one night. At this speed, in ten days at most, he should be able to achieve the spiritual spring.

According to the standard process of Xiyue College, it is normal to open the spiritual eyes within two months.

After that, he entered Lingquan for six months, entered Linghu Lake in one and a half years, entered Linghai in four and a half years, and entered the Linghai Sea in the remaining two years, a total of eight years.

Calculated according to the ten-fold difference between springs, lakes, and seas, basically the standard of each level is increased by ten times, the speed of cultivation is increased by three times, and the time is extended by three times, so that you can just catch up with the progress.

For most students, it is not difficult at all to increase the speed of Zhou Tian's operation by three times at each stage as they become more proficient. This makes it difficult for students to re-learn a new method of circling the heavens when they are just familiar with a practice method.

Although the new operating method is also based on the old foundation, there will always be many inadaptability, which will delay the entry.

Because of this, the standard process of cultivation is actually based on the fourth transformation.

If it is the ninth revolution, the Linghai Dzogchen can be achieved at the fastest in three or four years.

If it's rank three, it's just on the dangerous line, and it's not bad to be out of the ordinary within ten years.

The ten-year rule set by Xiyue Academy is here to ensure that the third-transfer students still have a great chance to enter the Transcendence. Of course, no matter how poor the aptitude is, there is really no way, and they can only rely on their own hard work and luck.

Tang Jie has only been in school for three months now, and with the help of the Cangxiang Sutra, he is already at the forefront in terms of speed, but he does not have so many resources to assist him, so he should be regarded as the end of the first sequence, and others can do it in two months. Going to Lingquan, he will have about ten more days.

At this speed, it is unrealistic for him to consummate the spiritual sea within three years, but within four to five years, it is definitely no problem to achieve the spiritual sea.

Seeing that the remaining time before dinner was not enough to support the completion of a big week, Tang Jie got up and practiced sword skills again, proficient in the use of the water mask.

Compared with the twelve vertical sword moves, the practice of the water mask is much more troublesome.

Spells usually consist of two phases.

The first is to promote qi in the body.

The second is the method of traction.

The cultivator directs the aura to move and change in the body, such as forming formations and coincident with the Dao, so that it has all kinds of inconceivable magical powers, which is called "formation" or "practice".

After the practice is completed, it is necessary to use it according to one's own mind, to draw out the completed law, and then make it act according to one's mind. It's not always possible that you condense a Qi arrow and just throw it casually. This stage is called "leading method".

To complete a method, you need to move Qi, just like Zhou Tian, ​​different spells have different requirements for moving Qi.

Citation requires spells, and different spells also have different spell requirements.

For new scholars, formulating a method is the most painful thing. After all, it is necessary to control the spiritual energy circuit and perform actions according to the law. A spell is like a blueprint, and it takes a lot of brainpower to memorize it. In contrast, the magic formula is much simpler, it is nothing more than a few command formulas to make the spell act according to one's own mind, which has great commonality.

For veteran practitioners, the situation is just the opposite. They have gone through the most difficult environment for forming spells. After they are proficient enough, forming spells is like Zhou Tian, ​​and generating spells is often just a matter of breathing. On the contrary, it is difficult to compress the formulas of the cited method. The most terrible thing is that the formulas cannot be hidden during the battle. Often when the opponent sees the formulas you made,

You can roughly know what you want to do.

As a beginner, what Tang Jie is now facing is the problem of becoming a law.

Before the water mask can be used, it needs to consume the spiritual liquid, turn the liquid into gas, make it run in the body according to the established circuit, and then pinch the magic formula to guide it out. Every step is quite troublesome and requires a lot of practice before it can be used freely.

To put it bluntly, no matter whether it is the big Zhou Tian, ​​the small Zhou Tian, ​​or the spells, they all need to be mastered through long-term hard practice.

It's just that the proficiency of spells improves the casting speed, and the power of spells depends on each person's realm, aptitude, weapons, practice skills and the spell itself, and at most one more spell-casting integrity.

What's worse is that due to the limited mana, it is impossible to practice spells at will. Eighty drops of spiritual liquid are only enough to release the water mask eight times. However, with Tang Jie's current speed of the small cycle and the efficiency of condensing five drops of spiritual liquid at a time, Tang Jie can only recover 120 drops in twelve hours, so he can only practice twelve times a day. Don't consider that you can't practice in these twelve hours.

And this is something that even the Tibetan Elephant Sutra can't help, so I can only cherish every opportunity by myself.

At this moment, Tang Jie circulated energy according to his mind, and the magic formula was developed continuously. After a while, the water mask finally condensed, and it took 20 seconds to calculate the casting time. Tang Jie smiled bitterly: "At this speed, wait for me for a while." The hood was released, and ten of me were hacked to death."

You have to find a way to improve it.

The best way is still the medicine for returning to the spirit. Through the medicine to increase the spiritual energy, the recovery effect can be increased several times or even dozens of times in one small week.

It's just that these medicines are really expensive, and the biggest problem with elixir is that the help is only temporary. Cultivation is a long-term matter, if you really want to rely on elixir to make up for the huge gap between talents, even if you sell the Wei family, it will not be enough.

Tang Jie thought for a while, but finally gave up the idea of ​​buying medicine. Compared with himself, the elders of the Wu family needed it more.

While thinking, Shi Meng suddenly came.

"The young master told you to go to his side."

"What's the matter?" Tang Jie asked with his sword drawn.

"Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master are here."

—————————————

Arriving at the Jingxin Garden, Tang Jie saw six people sitting in the garden besides Wei Tianchong.

Except for Wei Ming whom Tang Jie had met before, the leader of the other three was tall and slender, with a square Chinese character face, but he was quite similar to Wei Danbai. One could tell that he was the young master Wei Tian. Chi.

As for the young master Wei Tianchong, he has a rounder oval face, inheriting his mother's appearance, so it's no wonder that the wife prefers the younger son more.

When Wei Tianchong entered school a few days ago, Wei Tianzhi was doing his training outside and had no time to visit him. Today he finally came.

There were two other people on both sides of Wei Tianzhi, one of them Tang Jie recognized at a glance, this must be Wu Xing, after all, he is the son of the old man Wu, and he also has a bit of his father's charm.

At this moment, the four of them were talking in the courtyard. When Tang Jie arrived, he first saluted Wei Tianchong: "Hi, young master."

Then he turned to Wei Tianzhi: "Eldest Young Master! Second Young Master!"

Wei Ming was quite polite and nodded to Tang Jie.

Wei Tianzhi looked at Tang Jie and said, "You must be Tang Jie. I've heard of your name. I've only been here for a short time, and I got the title of mad student. As a servant, it's a bit ostentatious to behave like this." A little bit, but not as stable as my mother said."

This young master and his father were born in the same mold, even their tone of voice was so old-fashioned.

Tang Jie could only answer: "Yes, the boy was able to enter the academy, and his wish was fulfilled. I got carried away for a while, and I hope the young master will forgive me. I will not dare in the future."

Wei Tianzhi just nodded, pointed to the people beside him and said: "This is Xiaozhe, this is Wu Xing, my servant. Speaking of which, Wu Xing is also your brother. This is the first time you two meet, so please be careful." Let's get to know each other."

Only then did Tang Jie turn to Wu Xing: "Brother Wu Xing, Tang Jie was lucky to be rescued by his adoptive parents, so he was able to escape death and have the opportunity to enter the academy. His kindness is beyond words. If my younger brother does it, he will not dare to speak."

Then Wu Xing nodded: "You're welcome, your parents also praised you for your filial piety in letters. When I'm not around, the second elder is thanks to you for taking care of me."

Although he spoke politely, his tone was flat, but he didn't have the slightest excitement when he saw his brother. Tang Jie didn't think it was strange, after all, it was just the first acquaintance, and it will be fine if you have feelings after a long time.

After sitting down, everyone chatted together.

Only then did Tang Jie know that Wei Tianzhi and Wu Xing had gone to the Thunder Mountain Range a few days ago to carry out the college's medicinal mission. They said it was a trial, but they were actually making money.

If you want to practice without resources, you can only rely on family subsidies. That is a big bottomless pit. Earn some favors.

Therefore, Xiyue Academy will also prepare some trial places for the students, which not only means supplementing resources, but also means trials.

The Thunder Mountain Range is located to the north of Wenxin. It is a ferocious place. There are many monsters, birds and beasts in it, but there are also geniuses and treasures. Every year, students from Xiyue Academy go there to explore. Many people died because of this.

At this time, Wei Tianchong was asking his brother how the harvest was. Wei Tianzhi shook his head and sighed: "Thunder Mountains are very dangerous. On the first day I went there, I witnessed a senior brother being devoured by a monster. It would be nice to come back alive. Talk about it." What profit."

"Didn't you say that it was led by the master of the academy? Why did someone die?" Wei Tianchong was puzzled.

Wei Tianzhi replied: "It is true that there is a guru leading the way. The problem is that with a large number of students, good things are not enough. According to the rules of the academy, the guru is responsible for protection. If the income obtained by the guru is still the same. The college has nothing to do with the students. If you want to gain something, you can’t take shelter under the guru’s wing after all, so the students still have to travel alone after all. I encountered a crisis on the first day I entered the Thunder Mountain Range. I survived by luck, since then I never dared to stray from my master again, and after more than a month, I came back, relying on the painstaking work of bringing tea and water, I shared a bottle of Yiqi Pill, but it was a drop in the bucket."

Wei Tianzhi sighed and shook his head.

He was originally a young man from a rich family, and he was always served by others. After he went to the Thunder Mountain Range, he had to rely on serving his master to get some leftovers. He was really in a bad mood.

If he is like this, then Wu Xing Xiaozhe is naturally not much better.

"So, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult for my brother to become a mortal within ten years?" Wei Tianchong felt a little sad for his brother.

"Transcendence? I don't want to be transcendence for a long time!" Wei Tianzhi laughed loudly. After the laughter, his voice suddenly turned low, and he said sadly: "It's been seven years! I have been in school for seven years, but I don't have enough talent. There is only a second rank, and it is still only in the spirit of the lake. The distance from the spirit sea is still far away. I am ashamed of my parents' expectations. Now my only hope is to complete the consummation of the spirit sea before the ten-year period expires. The law of all things..."

The rule of Xiyue Academy is to teach one step at a time.

If you can reach the Great Consummation of the Linghai before the ten-year period expires, even if you can't get into the world, at least you have the qualifications to shock the world, you can get the method of shocking the world, even if you leave the academy, and then you can slowly get out of the world. Xiu, it is also possible to become transcendent again.

As long as he doesn't spread his thoughts to the outside world.

There are many donated students. Although they failed in the academy, they did not really lose hope in life. A considerable number of them were promoted after leaving the academy.

Otherwise, with such a difficult entry threshold, such a high elimination rate, and such a large cost, everyone has to weigh whether it is worth it.

Just because there is still this back road, those who turn once and twice dare to rush in. Isn't it what you can do in ten years, and what I can do in twenty years?

Of course, after achieving transcendence, because there is no follow-up mental method, it often stops at the beginning.

Qixia Realm has the most spiritual masters of this kind.

Compared to Wei Tianzhi, Wei Ming is slightly better.

He opened the door three times and enrolled in school for five years. Although the family's resources are limited, they have given what should be given. From the point of view of entry, it is on the bottom line of the standard line. It can be said that it is hovering on a cliff. If you go further, you may just succeed, and if you take a step back, you may just lose. The 50% chance is fully reflected in him.

As for Wu Xing, he also opened the door three times, but he didn't have the resources of the second young master, so his entry was similar to that of the eldest young master. He no longer expected to enter the world, but also hoped to consummate the spiritual world before graduation.

After this moment of sadness, Wei Tianzhi suddenly changed his mind and said: "This time, in addition to seeing you, we also need to see how you have entered the country. Tianchong, are you ready to study the law now?"

"Yes, I have learned a spirit technique." Wei Tianchong replied honestly.

"Lingyinshu? What is that? What's the use of you learning that?" Wei Tianzhi was very dissatisfied: "I cultivated immortals bravely and diligently, and there were countless difficulties and obstacles along the way. If you learn this child's way, you will have success in future trials. How can you help? Do you really want your family to provide for you for the rest of your life? It's just nonsense!"

Wei Tianchong was so reprimanded by his elder brother that he dared not speak, so he could only look at Tang Jie.

Tang Jie was helpless, so he could only bite the bullet and answer: "Eldest young master, I suggested that young master learn the technique of spiritual attraction. Although this technique has no combat power, it is the basis for manipulating puppets. Young master is quite talented in carving. , so a small suggestion..."

"I know he can sculpt, but can he achieve the way of puppet just by being able to sculpt? Sculpting is only for shape, material is the foundation, and the formation is the soul! Can he form formation? Does he have materials? It is tangible but intangible. There is no soul, so what is the use? Besides, the way of cultivating lies in oneself, if you rely on external things, your future will be limited after all!" Wei Tianzhi's training was so severe that even Tang Jie couldn't speak.

His words are not unreasonable, but the standard is a bit high.

The Way of Puppets may not be the avenue leading to the end of the fairy road, but for most cultivators, what they seek is how far they can go. After all, things like the end of the fairy road are just looking at, thinking about, It is still difficult to do it at a distance.

What's more, even if Wei Tianchong practiced the way of puppets, he might not be able to practice other things. After all, many of the current spells are just the foundation, the foundation, and the tools to achieve the goal. As long as the foundation is not deviated, the means don't have to be so serious.

It's a pity that he is the eldest master after all, and Tang Jie can't refute it hard, so he can only bow his head and accept it.

It was the Second Young Master Wei Ming who persuaded him a few words, and the Eldest Young Master didn't speak any more.

But Tang Jie knew that because of the mad birth of Tang Jie's name and the Spiritual Yin Technique, the eldest young master might not like him no matter how he looked at it, so he could only sigh.

During the meal, Tang Jie found an opportunity to talk to Wu Xing alone, and asked Wu Xing, "I wonder if Brother Wu Xing has spiritual money?"

"There are some, but not many. Why do you ask this? If you want to borrow..."

Tang Jie laughed and said: "Brother Wu Xing misunderstood, it is like this. Parents are not in good health now, I plan to buy a bottle of life-prolonging pill for the two elders."

"Prolonging life and longevity pill?" Wu Xing was taken aback: "That's a panacea, and you need a piece of spiritual jade!"

Medicinal pills are divided into grades, there are ordinary grades, spiritual grades, and immortal grades, and each has its own level of function. For example, the medicine that Lu Chenyang gave to Tang Jie back then was actually only a mortal product, and it was said to be a panacea, but just like a mortal calling a spiritual master an immortal master, it all exaggerated his value.

This Yannian Yishou Pill is a real elixir, which can rejuvenate mortals and prolong life. If the two elders use it, it will definitely get rid of years of old illnesses.

Hearing what Wu Xing said at this moment, Tang Jie sighed: "Yes, it is because it is too expensive, so I asked my brother for help. I think the two of us can get it together."

Wu Xing said unhappily: "That's a piece of spiritual jade, and you need a thousand spiritual coins. Where can I collect this much for you?"

"It doesn't need to be so much. I have earned some money due to my unintentional luck in enrolling this time. As long as my brother can support me with another eighty-three spiritual coins, it will be enough."

"What? Then you have more than nine hundred dollars?" Wu Xing was startled.

"Yes." Tang Jie replied.

He didn't deny it, so he told about the fish scale he obtained and the function of discovering the fish scale, and then said: "Nine fish scales have been cultivated in total, and I will sell them for nine hundred yuan, plus the forty spirits I earned earlier. Money, a total of 940 coins, and later bought the book of spells, spent 23 spiritual coins, and now there are 917 coins left."

At first, he thought that leaving more than 900 spiritual money would be enough, but after inquiring about it later, he found out that he needed so much, and he regretted it, so he could only ask Wu Xing for help. Anyway, the second elder is also his biological parents.

Unexpectedly, Wu Xing showed embarrassment when he heard this: "This... I don't have so many here."

"Why didn't my brother save eighty-three spiritual coins after seven years of schooling?" Tang Jie was surprised.

"That's not true. It's just that the money is used to buy medicine. Who will keep it? I really can't get it out all at once."

Tang Jie thought for a while, then sighed and said, "Since that's the case, let me borrow some from the young master first, as long as you help me send it out, how about it?"

"Why didn't you send it yourself?"

Tang Jie smiled: "The second elder has great expectations of you, I think this will make them happier. Besides, I have a wild temper, and I got the nickname of a crazy student just after entering the academy. I am afraid that the second elder will be in trouble because of me. I really don't want to Let too many people know about me and the second elder... so I ask my brother to worry about it."

Wu Xing had no choice but to nod his head.

Tang Jie went to find Wei Tianchong.

Wei Tianchong heard that Tang Jie wanted to borrow money, but he didn't care too much, so he gave Tang Jie the spiritual money.

Tang Jie took the money to find Wu Xing, and said, "I'll leave everything to my brother."

"Okay, I'll take care of this for you." Wu Xing stuffed the money into his pocket.
