Chapter 202 One Year
"Small Teleportation Talisman! That's right, this is the Small Teleportation Talisman! I once saw a picture on an ancient scroll, which records that once activated, it can instantly teleport a person a hundred miles away.
It is said that a few decades ago, a small teleportation talisman appeared at the auction house in Changqing City. For this reason, several Jindan ancestors competed to bid, and finally it was bought by an ancestor for a secret object." Shang Rui picked up a small teleportation talisman, and his hands trembled a little.
"Even the Jindan ancestors are bidding for it!" Ji Wenyue and Lu Ziying were shocked.
"For the Jindan ancestors, one more talisman is equivalent to one more way to escape, so they are naturally willing to pay a heavy price to buy it." Shang Rui said in a deep voice.
As she said that, she carefully put the small teleportation talisman back into the box.
"Daoming, you keep this talisman!" Shang Rui said solemnly.
Xia Daoming nodded and put the small teleportation talisman away.
"The first layer gives two puppet mechanical beasts, and the second layer gives a small teleportation talisman for escaping. It seems that the ancient immortal cultivators knew very well that only geniuses who survive are geniuses!" Xia Daoming was thoughtful.
——
Law, wealth, companion and land are known as the four secrets of immortal cultivation.
It means that in addition to having the talent for cultivation, there are four other conditions for achieving success in cultivation.
Law: the method of cultivation;
Wealth: the resources required for cultivation;
Land: the environment for cultivation;
Companion: the person who assists or guides one to complete cultivation.
Lu Ziying is gifted, has a solid foundation, and has a family-inherited cultivation method.
Before she was seventeen, her cultivation progress was slow. The biggest reason was that she lacked wealth, land, and companion in the four secrets of immortal cultivation.
Later, she met Xia Daoming and became a core member of the Lu family. Not only could she cultivate in Xunxian Cliff and obtain resources provided by many families, but she also had personal guidance from Lu Jinglong.
It can be said that the three conditions of wealth, land, and companion were comprehensively improved.
So Lu Ziying's cultivation began to advance by leaps and bounds. In just a few years, she cultivated to the ninth level of Qi Refining, and was only a little short of achieving Qi Refining Perfection.
Since Lu Ziying came to Changqing Lake, her three major conditions of wealth, land, and companion have been comprehensively improved again.
Wealth, with Shang Rui, a second-level top-grade alchemist, by her side, she can get whatever elixir she needs.
Land, there is a third-level spiritual vein flowing through the bottom of Changqing Lake, and the cultivation environment is many times stronger than Xunxian Cliff, where only a first-level spiritual vein flows.
Companion, Shang Rui is a veteran mid-stage foundation-building cultivator, and even later touched the threshold of the late stage of foundation-building, and his guidance in cultivation is naturally much stronger than the new foundation-building cultivator Lu Jinglong.
Therefore, Lu Ziying, who has only been in Changqing Lake for half a year, has steadily become a perfect Qi-refining cultivator at the age of 21.
After settling in the perfect Qi-refining realm for half a year, that is, when Lu Ziying came to Changqing Lake for a year, Xia Daoming gave her a drop of golden elixir liquid.
Lu Ziying successfully built her foundation.
Lu Ziying is extremely talented, and her earth-based skills are known for their strong magic power.
With the golden elixir liquid to build her foundation, her foundation is extremely strong.
Shang Rui personally confirmed it.
The conclusion is that Lu Ziying's magic power is as strong and pure as the foundation of the middle stage of foundation building.
One year.
Shang Rui is still working hard to break through the late stage of foundation building.
She is an alchemist. Among the four secrets of cultivating immortals, the condition of wealth is unique and the most outstanding.
She has already touched the threshold of the late stage, and the most important thing is financial support.
As long as there are good enough resources, you can continue to make breakthroughs.
In just one year, Shang Rui has taken three Liuhe Juyuan Pills.
Each of this pill is as valuable as the foundation building pill.
In just one year, she took five Jiaoyuan Pills that strengthen the body.
There are other elixirs, Shang Rui can also take them as much as possible. Anyway, she has no shortage of elixirs and spirit stones, just to break through the late stage of foundation building as soon as possible.
Even half a year ago, when Lu Ziying became a perfect cultivator of Qi Refining, Shang Rui spent tens of thousands of spirit stones to move to Zhuqueju, one of the three best caves in Changqing Lake.
Zhuqueju is very big. According to the regulations, it can accommodate two foundation-building monks and ten Qi-refining monks.
It happened that the one-year lease of Yinlongju expired at that time, so Xia Daoming and his family of three, along with the golden-feathered eagle, simply moved to Zhuqueju.
Tens of thousands of spiritual stones a year, naturally cannot be wasted, and must be fully utilized.
One year.
After entering the inner gate, Lan Xue was like a cheat. Her cultivation progressed rapidly. Two months ago, she broke through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, and she is still making steady progress. It is estimated that she will be able to complete Qi Refining in another year or two.
Lan Xue's progress shocked Mo Yongzhi, and at the same time, she became more concerned about her teaching and answering questions.
Mo Rujun was jealous and resentful, thinking that it must be because Mo Yongzhi cultivated Lan Xue at all costs that Lan Xue made such rapid progress.
For this reason, Mo Rujun returned to Yungai Mountain to cry and complain about her grievances.
Mo Bowen felt that Mo Yongzhi was a bit out of touch, disregarding her family members and disappointing their expectations, so he personally went to Qingyun City to discuss with Mo Rujun in person, using the family's righteousness to pressure her, asking her to continue to cultivate and guide Mo Rujun with all her strength and help her build her foundation, and even mentioned the matter of Lan Xue.
Originally, Mo Bowen used the family's righteousness to pressure Mo Yongzhi, and Mo Yongzhi was ready to give in.
But Mo Bowen used Lan Xue as an excuse, which completely angered Mo Yongzhi.
She flatly rejected Mo Bowen's request and only agreed to help the Mo family cultivate another newcomer, but would never continue to cultivate and guide Mo Rujun.
The two of them parted unhappily.
Mo Rujun knew the result and became even more jealous.
Xia Daoming and his wife and the other two also broke through to the ninth level of Qi Refining smoothly along the way, and then stopped at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
But when they stopped at the ninth level of Qi Refining, Xia Daoming suddenly discovered that breaking through to Qi Refining Perfection was more difficult than he had imagined.
Originally, he thought that with the talent of the three of them in cultivating immortals, as well as the external superior conditions, if they ignored the solid foundation, they could reach the perfection of Qi Refining in about a year, but for the sake of safety, Xia Daoming set the time for Qi Refining Perfection within two years.
But now, Xia Daoming found that he was too optimistic.
The ninth level of Qi Refining seems to be only one step away from Qi Refining Perfection, but this one step is much more difficult than breaking through other small realms.
It's like an exam. From 98 points to 100 points, it seems to be only two small points, but the difficulty is greater than from 60 points to 80 points.
Because it means full marks, which means there is no mistake at all.
The difficulty of Qi Refining Perfection lies in perfection.
Xia Daoming and his wife missed the best time for childhood cultivation, and they were able to step into the path of cultivation through the awakening of spirits, which means that their path of cultivation has flaws from the beginning.
They need to spend more time to settle down, make up for the flaws, and make it perfect.
Of course, the so-called more time is only relative to Xia Daoming's original estimate. In fact, compared with other ordinary cultivators, the time is already surprisingly short.
However, Xia Daoming has already reached the state of Grandmaster of Martial Arts, and it is impossible to improve his Qi, blood and strength.
If Xia Daoming only waits for one or two years at the state of Grandmaster of Martial Arts, it doesn't matter.
It's just right to take advantage of these one or two years to comprehend and deduce martial arts, and have more accumulation in martial arts.
In this way, when he finds the way behind, he may be more capable.
But now the expectation of advancing to the state of Qi Refining Perfection has changed. Xia Daoming is unwilling to enter the inner gate step by step and delay the time to find the way behind the martial arts Grandmaster.
"I don't know if there are other ways to enter the inner gate except for practicing Qi Refining Perfection before the age of 35? It seems that I have to go back to Qingyun City and ask Elder Mo for a few words." On this day, Xia Daoming once again confirmed that it would be difficult to reach Qi Refining Perfection within a year or two, and decided to find another way.
After returning to Qingyun City, Xia Daoming went straight to Elder Mo's Mansion in East City.
Walking on the East City Avenue, by chance, I met Ma Tianliang, Zhong Meng and a Qi-refining Perfection cultivator who were escorting a young man.
The young man looked only about 23 or 24 years old, but he was already in the early stage of foundation building.
Except for Ma Tianliang, the four of them were all wearing black clothes with a cross-sword icon embroidered on the lapels, which exuded a majestic and murderous look.
This is the dress of the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Outer Sect.
The Law Enforcement Hall is the most powerful and most feared hall in the Outer Sect.
When Zhong Meng and Ma Tianliang saw Xia Daoming, their faces suddenly changed, and their eyes were full of hatred.
"What's wrong? Could that person be the Xia Daoming you mentioned to me a few days ago?" The young man had a keen sense of six senses, and immediately noticed that Zhong Meng and Ma Tianliang's breath was fluctuating and disordered. He followed their gaze and looked at Xia Daoming, frowning slightly.
"That's right, uncle, it was this person who took advantage of his status as a grandmaster and attacked me when he just entered the sect!" Zhong Meng said.
The uncle Zhong Meng mentioned was her distant cousin Jia Shaoxuan.
One year ago, at the age of 23, he successfully built his foundation and was accepted as a registered disciple by the Jindan Patriarch Luo Qian.
A month ago, Jia Shaoxuan decided to come to the outer sect to gain experience and work.
Because he was a registered disciple of the Jindan Patriarch, Jia Shaoxuan was entrusted with the position of elder of the Law Enforcement Hall as soon as he came to the outer sect with his cultivation in the initial stage of foundation building.
Jia Shaoxuan had just arrived and had no one of his own in the Law Enforcement Hall, so he directly transferred Zhong Meng to the Law Enforcement Hall as a consul disciple.
Zhong Meng's first blood was taken by Jia Shaoxuan, but Jia Shaoxuan was arrogant and proud. The Taoist partner he wanted must be a cultivator with extraordinary talent like him. Zhong Meng could only be regarded as a playmate.
However, after all, he took Zhong Meng's first blood, and Zhong Meng was also sensible and tried to please him in every way, so after Jia Shaoxuan became a foundation cultivator, he quickly gave Zhong Meng some resources and guidance to help her become a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator.
Outer disciples who have reached the ninth level of Qi Refining can serve as consular disciples.
Jia Shaoxuan has heard Zhong Meng and Ma Tianliang say bad things about Xia Daoming in his ears these days, asking him to help vent his anger.
Of course, Ma Tianliang did not say anything about the relationship between Xia Daoming and Shang Rui.
It's just that Xia Daoming is basically not in Qingyun City. He is a disciple of Lingtian Hall. Only the elders and the head of Lingtian Hall can pass his token to him.
Jia Shaoxuan is proud of his status and disdains to go to the elders of Lingtian Hall for such a small matter.
This matter was delayed.
Now that they happened to meet unexpectedly in Dongcheng, Jia Shaoxuan couldn't ignore this matter.
After all, Zhong Meng has been catering to him these days.
"Come here!" Jia Shaoxuan waved to Xia Daoming condescendingly.
Xia Daoming frowned slightly, but still walked over.
