Chapter 438: Thoughts on Dual Cultivation
Red Flower Camp.
Ning Zhuo walked to the camp gate and showed his token.
"Mr. Ning Zhuo, please follow me." The guards already knew Ning Zhuo. After identifying the token, they assigned one person to lead the way.
This identity token was also given to Ning Zhuo by Zhang Chongyi after the last treatment.
Ning Zhuo came to the doctor's tent with ease, entered it, and greeted him: "Senior Zhang, I am here to trouble you again."
Zhang Chongyi saw Ning Zhuo, stroked his beard and smiled: "Okay, my friend, sit here first."
After Ning Zhuo sat down, he untied his belt.
He held the shrunken Wanli Youlong in one hand and showed it to Zhang Chongyi.
Zhang Chongyi took a look and was slightly surprised: "It's Wanli Youlong."
"The last time I saw your friend suddenly appear, I thought it was a hidden soldier talisman or a military order."
"My friend's wealth is really rare."
Ning Zhuo showed Zhang Chongyi half of the dragon body and told him that Wanli Youlong was under the spell of the Blood Shadow Cave Master. As long as it approaches the Thousand Peaks Forest, it will be detected by the Blood Shadow Cave Master.
"I would like to ask the senior to help us again to eliminate this hidden danger." Ning Zhuo said bluntly.
Zhang Chongyi first took Wanli Youlong and put it in front of his eyes to look at it, occasionally pinching his fingers, casting spells, and conducting espionage.
After a while, his slightly frowned brows relaxed: "It is indeed the Blood Shadow Cave Master's Blood Mark Shadow Trace Technique."
"It's not difficult to solve this."
"But..."
Zhang Chongyi changed the subject and said that he was no longer a cultivator at the Yuanying level after all. He only had the Jindan cultivation level. To solve the Blood Mark Shadow Trace Technique, he had to rely on external objects.
"If there is a Yuanying-level alchemy furnace, with a few medicinal materials, and it is refined for twelve consecutive days, the spell can be removed."
"Unfortunately, as far as I know, there is no such alchemy furnace in the entire Canglin Immortal City."
The price of alchemy furnaces, such important production tools, is often very high. If the quality of a Yuanying-level alchemy furnace is good, it is likely to consume the wealth of a Yuanying-level cultivator for most of his life.
Zhang Chongyi was once an imperial physician, and he did not accumulate enough wealth to own his own Yuanying-level alchemy furnace.
"What should I do?" Ning Zhuo sighed, his eyes turned, "If it is not an alchemy furnace, but a refining furnace, can it be?"
Zhang Chongyi admired Ning Zhuo's sensitivity and nodded immediately: "This is exactly what I want to say. At present, there is a Yuanying-level refining furnace in Canglin Immortal City, which is controlled by the national master craftsman Jin Li."
"Through him, we can also solve this blood stain shadow spell."
Ning Zhuo pondered and hesitated.
He trusted Zhang Chongyi more, but he didn't know Jin Li well.
He can deal with Zhang Chongyi through the life-threatening thread and the Buddha Heart Demon Seal, but Jin Li is at the Nascent Soul level. If something goes wrong, the situation will not be something he can handle at the moment.
Zhang Chongyi saw Ning Zhuo's hesitation and said, "I know Jin Li better."
"He is a decent person, outspoken, and sharp as a blade."
"Besides, we can sign a contract to ensure that no one else knows that you have the Wanli Youlong."
"But it will cost a lot to ask him to move. You have to be prepared."
After all, Jin Li is at the Nascent Soul level, and as a national craftsman, he has a heavy smelting task when he comes to Canglin Immortal City this time.
To make him take time to do private work, he must come up with something that makes him excited.
Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong used their spiritual sense to communicate with each other, discussed it, nodded, and said to Zhang Chongyi, "Just do as the senior said."
Zhang Chongyi immediately wrote a letter.
The letter drilled out of the tent and flew directly to Canglin Immortal City.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Chongyi dismissed his attendants and only spoke to Ning Zhuo: "I also have something to ask of you, my dear friend Ning Zhuo."
"Of course, this is just a suggestion. If you don't want to, forget it."
"Just keep it strictly confidential."
This immediately aroused the curiosity of Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong. Especially Sun Lingtong, who immediately pricked up his ears in the mechanical dragon.
Ning Zhuo immediately said that as long as he could, he would try his best.
Zhang Chongyi smiled: "It is indeed difficult to say that this matter is difficult, and it is also quite easy to say that it is easy. Maybe it's just a matter of your thoughts."
"However, this matter is military intelligence. Before I narrate it, let's sign a contract first."
"And your friends, if you want to listen, please sign a contract."
As soon as the voice fell, Sun Lingtong jumped out of the mechanical dragon with a very positive attitude.
Ning Zhuo saw Zhang Chongyi so serious, and his expression was slightly solemn.
After the contract was concluded, Zhang Chongyi looked at Sun Ning and the others and whispered the proposal of dual cultivation.
"Dual cultivation? General Mulan and I?!" Ning Zhuo widened his eyes and pointed at himself. For a moment, he was very surprised.
In his opinion, this span was too big.
"Hehehe, Xiao Zhuo, this is a great thing!" Sun Lingtong laughed when he heard this.
He liked this kind of fun very much.
Zhang Chongyi sighed deeply and explained the details to Sun Ning and the others.
"Xuanjin Pojia Jue?" Ning Zhuo frowned slightly, "Perhaps, I can improve this technique to help the general."
"There is no need for dual cultivation."
"Please don't blame me, senior. This is not my arrogance, but the significance of Yuanyang to my life is extremely important."
Zhang Chongyi nodded: "Indeed, so it needs to be seriously considered."
Sun Lingtong glared at Ning Zhuo: "Xiao Zhuo, you don't practice Boy Kung Fu like me. I have also seen the three sects you practice. Yuanyang is not that important to you. ”
"Furthermore, haven't you always told me that you think you are too slow in cultivation? Now that you are dual-cultivating, there are Taoist companions of the Golden Elixir level who will initiate you, and your cultivation will surely improve by leaps and bounds!"
Zhang Chongyi's eyes lit up slightly, he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "If both you and I are interested, this will be a happy event, hahaha."
Ning Zhuo waved his hand quickly: "I am just a minor cultivator of foundation building, but General Mulan is a golden elixir monk and is in charge of an army. If this boy and General Mulan double cultivate, they will really reach a high level."
"Moreover, the matter of dual cultivation is of great importance. I must report it to our ancestors and obtain the family's approval before we can do this important matter."
Zhang Chongyi heard Ning Zhuo's excuse, the smile on his face faded, and he nodded: "Involving Yuanyang and Yuanyin, dual cultivation is indeed a major matter, and it needs to be carefully considered."
Just as he was talking, a flying letter entered the camp and landed in front of Zhang Chongyi.
It was Jinli's reply.
Zhang Chongyi unfolded it and looked slightly surprised: "Brother Jin agreed, but he proposed that the reward be the Nascent Soul-level treasure in the hands of little friend Ning Zhuo..."
This did not surprise Ning Zhuo.
He smiled bitterly and still used the previous explanation to Zhang Chongyi, saying that it was a family mission and he wanted to trade with a certain big force.
Ning Zhuo thought for a while: "The family mission is important, but the ability to remove the bloodstain trace is also very important. I have decided, and I will agree to Master Jinli's request and ask him to help!"
Immediately, Zhang Chongyi, Ning Zhuo, and Sun Lingtong took the agency Youlong to see Jin Li.
After Zhang Chongyi and Jin Li discussed, they combined their efforts and came up with several methods of cutting out blood traces.
Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong discussed it and quickly made a choice.
They choose the fastest way, and for that, they have to pay more. The price is not to pay more remuneration, but because Wanli Youlong will be injured in many places due to his radical approach.
But in order to return to the old monster in the stone as soon as possible and avoid long nights and dreams, this decision is undoubtedly wise.
Ning Zhuo watched with his own eyes as Wanliyoulong entered the refining furnace.
The furnace door closed, the fire rose up, and began to burn blazingly.
According to Jin Li and Zhang Chongyi's estimates, it would take three days and three nights as quickly as possible, and four days and five nights as slowly as possible.
Without the Wanli Wandering Dragon around his waist, Ning Zhuo was not used to it for a while and felt a little empty.
Although Sun Lingtong was injured in his right arm, he still couldn't hold himself back. He said goodbye to Ning Zhuo for a while and went to play in Canglin Fairy City.
Ning Zhuo returned to the Three Generals Camp alone, got into his tent, and began his daily practice.
He took out the futon first.
This magic weapon was jointly distributed by three families in Fire Persimmon Immortal City, and it is still valid today.
Ning Zhuo then urged the floating cloud handkerchief.
Since using it in Fire Persimmon Fairy City, he seems to have developed this habit. It is always a bit uncomfortable not to use the floating cloud handkerchief to wrap himself.
Layers of floating clouds covered Ning Zhuo's body, wrapping him into a big ball of cotton.
Ning Zhuo took out various spiritual foods from the cotton ball and stuffed them into his mouth one after another.
Spiritual food has a shorter shelf life than elixirs, but fortunately it has no medicinal properties and can be fully absorbed by the monks.
The spiritual food in Canglin Fairy City mostly tastes sweet and spicy. Ning Zhuo was not very used to it and choked once in the middle.
He first practiced the Demon-Stained Blood Muscle Technique.
The magic light illuminated his face, making him blood red with faintly striated tendons.
In the lower dantian, there is a red ground, with blood veins crisscrossing and intertwining, turning into a network, covering the entire ground.
After a large amount of spiritual food is digested, it is refined into blood essence and added to the blood field, making the blood tendon carpet even stronger.
Ning Zhuo then practiced the Five Elements Qi Law Technique.
He took out the magic weapon tornado car and placed it close to his middle dantian.
In the Five Qi Tianshu Dantian, the five-color vortex is like a tornado, standing upright against the sky and the earth. The magic powers of the five colors and five elements are sometimes distinct and sometimes mixed together. With the blessing of the tornado car, the vortex accelerates its rotation, absorbs external spiritual energy, and converts it into its own mana faster.
When practicing the mirror channeling technique, he used a meditation bell.
The sound of bells quickly made him enter a state of meditation, and he continued to deepen.
In the clear mirror's spiritual light dantian, thoughts arise one after another and occur in large numbers. All distracting thoughts are eliminated and annihilated actively. The unique mirror thoughts merge with each other and turn into flat mirrors. At the upper and lower limits, there are two huge mirrors, which serve as the heaven and earth in the Dantian.
The most conspicuous thing in the Dantian is my Buddha Heart Demon Seal.
In addition, Fenhe Biye's magical power and life are hanging by a thread.
"According to common sense, the foundation building stage is mainly divided into six stages, which respectively take care of the early, middle and late stages of the foundation building period."
"The fields are open without hindrance, the precious medicine grows, the Dantian is radiant, the talisman of visions is planted, the golden light shines inside, and it changes from virtual to real."
"The three sects are superior dharma, and the content in the foundation chapter contains exactly these six stages."
If it is an earlier exercise, it may not contain these six stages.
The new method is excellent. Compared with the old method, it can strengthen the monk's foundation and enhance the monk's power more comprehensively.
Throughout history, foundation-building monks of later generations are often more powerful than their predecessors before this era because of their practice of new methods.
Ning Zhuo has mastered the five internal organs temple spirit magic skill. This skill is so ancient that there is no difference at all between the three stages of foundation building.
If you try to calculate it reluctantly, there is only the last stage of "turning from virtuality to reality", and it is also mixed with the final stage of overcoming the tribulation and becoming the elixir.
Unlike today's techniques, which separate the two, they are more refined and can be carved.
"Every day, I spend three times as much time on cultivation as an ordinary person."
"Usually, the cost of cultivation for a cultivator in the foundation-building period is about 1,500 low-grade spiritual stones if converted into spiritual stones."
"The various spiritual foods I eat and the cost of the magic tools I use are converted into 5,000 low-grade spiritual stones per day."
"Even so, I haven't reached the state of opening the field without hindrance, and there is not even a trace of sign."
"Alas..."
Ning Zhuo traveled around the world and faced more and more powerful people.
Sometimes, he even had to face the threat of the Nascent Soul level!
Similar situations where a cultivator in the foundation-building period only encounters opponents who are not much different from himself, at most a little higher, basically only exist in the storybooks.
Reality is cruel. It will not treat you well just because you are weak. The fact is just the opposite.
Ning Zhuo really wants his cultivation to improve quickly.
He once asked Sun Lingtong about this matter, but was persuaded by the latter.
Ning Zhuo also knew that what Sun Lingtong said made sense, and his progress was actually very fast. A sixteen-year-old foundation-building cultivator, this achievement is excellent in the entire cultivation world.
But Ning Zhuo still wanted to improve his cultivation!
Especially this time, he was suggested by Zhang Chongyi to practice dual cultivation with Mulan, which further stimulated his idea.
"I really want to improve my cultivation by leaps and bounds!"
"It's only the early stage of foundation building, and I can't do many things. It's really too uncomfortable."
"Dual cultivation..."
Although Ning Zhuo declined Zhang Chongyi, he was secretly moved.
Once he practiced dual cultivation with Mulan, his own cultivation would skyrocket because of dual cultivation. In addition, Mulan's special situation would instill a lot of cultivation into him, allowing him to double his growth!
"Losing Yuan Yang is nothing, but the significance of a dual cultivation partner is very important."
"Dual cultivation with the intersection of Yuan Yang and Yuan Yin only happens once in this life. Therefore, the choice of a Taoist partner is very critical, and there is only one quota."
"After dual cultivation, the relationship between the two will be very close, and the effect of dual cultivation will be much higher than that of ordinary people, so it is closer than that of a couple."
"As the patriarch of the Ning family branch, should I become a Taoist partner with the daughter of the general's mansion of Liangzhu country?"
Ning Zhuo is very clear about the difference.
If Lin Shanshan has feelings for Ning Zhuo, Hua Guzi's love for Ning Zhuo comes from desire. Then, Mulan's consideration of Ning Zhuo is completely based on cold interests.
Ning Zhuo does not reject this at all. He has seen a lot in Huoshi Xiancheng and learned a lot in books.
"This is the operation of the righteous way." Ning Zhuo just can't judge whether he will make a profit or a loss in this dual cultivation transaction.
Will he have a better choice in the future?
