Chapter 292 Sect Trivia
Thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting.
This is probably the best description of the environment surrounding Lingyun Sect. At the end of the cold plateau, there is an endless snow-capped mountain range that almost stretches across the sky and the earth, isolating traffic.
The extreme climate makes this place desolate, and it is impossible for mortals to set foot here.
Lingyun Sect is built on such a plateau. The terrain here is extremely high and very close to the sky. Looking up, the clouds seem to be within reach, which is worthy of the word "Lingyun".
Different from the cold outside, Lingyun Sect, which was enveloped by the formation, was unexpectedly warm like spring, and the climate was quite pleasant.
As a disciple who has just joined the sect, Li Qing has a courtyard of his own even though he cannot be assigned a cave yet.
Even though the courtyard is small, the spiritual energy that can be enjoyed is close to the second-level spiritual energy. For casual cultivators, this is quite a luxury.
"So it turns out that the Heavenly Desire Flower is such a precious flower. If combined with the method of dual cultivation, it can even allow people to break through the realm."
In the courtyard, Li Qing was holding a book borrowed from the sect and looking through it carefully.
This book records some rare and rare medicines in the world, and the Tianyuhua that Li Qing is looking for is also among them.
Once these magical flowers bloom, they will drop a large amount of pollen, and these pollen can arouse the lust of people or monsters. Even monks in the elixir-forming stage can hardly resist the temptation of the Tian Lu Flower pollen.
After being contaminated with the lustful pollen, you will immediately become burning with lust. If you can't vent it out, you will lose your mind at least, or burn your blood to death.
However, if you can have sex with others during this period, you will in turn get great benefits. For example, Li Qing's cultivation level climbed from the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage to the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage, which is a manifestation of the benefits.
"The cultivation level improved by this method will not cause any harm, and the foundation is solid, and it does not even need to be consolidated."
"The Desire Fruit is such a strange flower, what a pity."
It's a pity that if he can collect the pollen of the blooming Tianyu flower, it is definitely worth a lot of spiritual stones, which is more than enough to replace it with a Foundation Establishment Pill.
When a monk reaches the foundation building stage, it is very difficult to improve his cultivation. There are not even a few pills that can improve his magic power.
Of course, such a pityful mentality did not last long, because in a few days, he would get the second Foundation Establishment Pill in his life.
The source of the Foundation Establishment Pill is naturally the Immortal Ascension Order!
Before Li Qing could wait too long, there were sudden footsteps in front of his courtyard door, and then someone knocked on his door.
Li Qing subconsciously swept away his consciousness and saw a tall and thin disciple wearing the same clothes as him standing in front of the courtyard gate with a kind smile on his face.
Seeing this scene, Li Qing frowned and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
well!
This is the sixth time he has had visitors in the past two months. It’s not that he is withdrawn and doesn’t like people visiting him, it’s just that the purpose of these people is not simple.
"Senior Brother Zheng, please come in quickly. Why do you have the leisure to come to my place today?" Li Qing squeezed out a smile and welcomed the tall and thin man standing at the door.
His name is Zheng Donghe. He joined the Lingyun Sect five years earlier than Li Qing, and his cultivation has reached the Qi Refining Stage. Li Qing really has nothing to lose by calling him "senior brother".
"Junior brother Li, it's freezing in the forbidden snowfield. I brought you some fifty-year-old blood jade ginseng to replenish your qi and blood."
As Zheng Donghe spoke, he took out two forearm-long sandalwood boxes and was about to hand them to Li Qing.
In this regard, Li Qing was very firm and refused the gift.
"Senior Brother Zheng, you will receive no reward for your merits. I cannot accept this blood jade ginseng!"
"Although the environment on the snow-capped mountains and plateau is harsh and cold, it is also suitable for sharpening my ambition."
"You'd better take this blood jade ginseng back."
If you show your courtesy for nothing, you are either committing adultery or stealing!
Not to mention that it is not cold inside the sect, it has always been warm as spring. With his strong body and strong blood, there will definitely be no big problem even if he goes deep into the snow-capped mountains and plateaus.
In this way, the two of them refused to accept the gift. Li Qing refused to accept the gift.
In the end, Zheng Donghe had no choice but to let it go and took back a few blood jade ginseng plants.
"Junior brother Li can have such a character, he should be a role model for the disciples in the sect!" Zheng Donghe praised.
Li Qing laughed and asked bluntly: "Senior Brother Zheng, why don't you just tell me why you are here this time."
As soon as these words came out, Zheng Donghe's face suddenly became serious, and he said: "Junior brother Li, you have been here for almost three months, and you are about to take over the affairs of the sect. Is there anything you want to do, for my brother's sake?" I’m very familiar with several elders in the affairs hall and may be able to help you.”
That's right, after becoming a disciple of a sect, you don't really have to sit back and relax, and you can enjoy the land of spiritual veins all day long and practice peacefully.
Disciples like these in the Qi Refining Period are required to receive sect affairs and contribute to the sect, thereby earning a certain amount of sect contribution points.
Within three months of the new entry, this period is the adaptation period, and you do not need to take on sect affairs.
At the same time, during this period, those disciples who stand out in the Immortal Ascension Conference will also be given foundation-building pills. During this period, some people will be able to succeed in foundation-building, while others will end sadly.
After three months, the disciples who successfully build their foundation will be automatically promoted to the elders. Those who fail to build their foundation will be like ordinary disciples, taking on sect affairs and accumulating contributions in order to build their foundation in the future.
And these affairs that can be taken are not all the same, and naturally there are good and bad ones.
Some jobs are extremely easy, and the contributions that can be earned are not small, so there is plenty of time for cultivation.
Some jobs are more difficult, such as guarding the ice prison, which not only requires staying in the ice prison with thin spiritual energy for a long time, but also earns very few contribution points.
Li Qing naturally hasn't thought clearly about what job to take, because now all his thoughts are on building his foundation.
"Brother Zheng, the elders are responsible for allocating sect affairs. I am not picky. I will do whatever the sect asks me to do, and I am willing to give everything for the sect!"
These words were flawless, and Li Qing looked like he was willing to die for the sect, which directly blocked Zheng Donghe from saying anything.
You are too young to play this trick with me!
Li Qing thought in his heart. He has lived for so long and has worked hard in the secular world. How could he be moved by the price offered by the other party?
"That's what I said, but if you can get a job in the sect you like, it will be good. Junior Brother Li, don't you consider it?" Zheng Donghe still didn't give up, as if he wanted to give Li Qing a benefit.
In response, Li Qing just chuckled and said, "Senior Brother Zheng, why don't you tell me your conditions? Junior Brother, I have just entered the sect not long ago. I am really flattered by your attitude."
After a silence, Zheng Donghe said in the most friendly tone possible: "Junior Brother Li entered the sect through the Ascension Order. I have heard about this. I heard that you have poor spiritual roots and four spiritual roots."
"I'll be frank. Senior Brother, I want to buy your foundation-building pill. Spirit stones and contribution points are negotiable, and you can give How about you arrange an easy sect affairs? "
I know.
Li Qing smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Zheng, now I have reached the great perfection of Qi Refining Stage, and there is no more room for improvement in my cultivation. Since I have entered the immortal path, I naturally have an enterprising spirit. "
"To be honest, I plan to take this foundation-building pill myself. Even if the hope is slim, I will take a risk and see where the limit of my path in this life is. "
His tone was very firm, and he directly stated that this was his own path, which was extremely important.
In the world of immortal cultivation, blocking the path of others is tantamount to killing people.
"Junior brother, your spiritual root aptitude is not good, why don't you use this foundation-building pill in exchange for a more comfortable sect life in the future? "
This statement has been made very clear, that is, even if a foundation-building pill is given to you, the hope of building a foundation with the four spiritual roots is too slim.
It is better to exchange for more tangible benefits to make life more comfortable in the future.
Although it is the truth, why does it make people feel so uncomfortable when they hear it!
"Brother Zheng, may I ask how high is your chance of success in building a foundation after taking the foundation pill?" Li Qing asked seriously.
"I am not young anymore. If I can take the foundation pill within three years, I will have a 40% chance of success in building a foundation. If I wait any longer, I am afraid it will be less than 30%."
Zheng Donghe answered truthfully. In fact, this chance is not small. A foundation pill can increase the probability of building a foundation by 20%.
And how many cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage can enter the Foundation Building Stage in the world?
"So, Brother Li, why don't you help me? When I succeed in building a foundation, I will definitely not forget you in the future!"
In response, Li Qing just smiled. He was used to eating this kind of pie in his previous life, and now he naturally doesn't want to eat it again.
"Brother Zheng, let me ask you again, how long will it take for the sect contribution points you have accumulated now to exchange for a foundation pill?"
"At least five years, or even longer." Zheng Donghe said.
"Brother Zheng, you also know that my spiritual root aptitude is very poor. How old do you think I should be now with my current cultivation?"
After these words came out, Zheng Donghe was stunned. Because of his fixed mindset, he subconsciously thought that Li Qing might be a little younger than him, and he had always called him his junior brother.
But he never thought that the other party's aptitude of four spiritual roots must be quite old to have reached this point.
Li Qing continued: "Brother, with my current foundation, how many years do you think it will take to accumulate contributions to the sect before I can exchange for the second foundation-building pill?"
"This may be my only chance in this life, Brother Zheng, please go back!"
With just a few words, Zheng Donghe was speechless.
Having said this, if he still insisted, Li Qing would not mind bringing up Fatty Wu standing behind him.
Do you really think he is a new disciple with no foundation or background at all!
"Goodbye!" After being defeated, Zheng Donghe did not linger any longer and turned to leave immediately, very decisively.
Looking at the other party's back as he left, Li Qing let out a long sigh: "It's all for the immortal path. A foundation-building pill has caused such a big storm."
Li Qing shook his head, thinking that if it weren't for Fatty Wu to support him, his future life would be really difficult.
A promotion order made him the focus of many Qi-refining disciples. I don't know how many brothers who have not yet established their foundation want to exchange for the foundation-building pill in his hand.
Who made him different from those chosen ones who stood out in the Ascension Conference? Those people either had a family of immortal cultivators behind them, or they had good qualifications and were favored by some elders.
No one would try to take the foundation-building pills of these disciples, so Li Qing's foundation-building pill could not help but enter the eyes of many people.
If it weren't for Wu Chong's relationship, I'm afraid some elders would come to greet him in person.
After all, who made him only have the qualifications of four spiritual roots? Even if he had the foundation-building pill, the probability of success in foundation-building was not high!
Speaking of Wu Chong, soon, outside Li Qing's courtyard gate, a chubby and round figure quickly ran over, and the fat on his body kept shaking.
After noticing this movement, Li Qing walked out with anticipation in his eyes.
"How is Brother Wu? Have you found the things I asked you to do?!"
Wu Chong wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a breath, nodded, and said:
"Don't worry, I have already helped. Senior Brother Chen is willing to open the furnace to refine the pill once!"
After that, Fatty Wu took out the food from the storage bag again and chewed it.
Hearing this, Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, you should not have told me about this, right?"
"No, no, I just said that there happened to be some spiritual medicine surplus of foundation-building pills in my master's cave, so I just took it out to refine a furnace of foundation-building pills!"
"And the old man has been in seclusion recently, so I asked Elder Chen to help refine it."
Fatty Wu said vaguely with his mouth full of food.
At this time, Li Qing was completely relieved. That's right. After joining Lingyun Sect, Li Qing asked Wu Chong to help him find connections and entrusted the elders to refine the foundation-building pill. All the spiritual medicines were provided by him alone.
"I owe you a favor for this!" Li Qing said solemnly.
However, Fatty Wu waved his hand and said, "Do we need to talk about our relationship? If you hadn't told me to take refuge in the graves behind the loess mound, I'm afraid I would have died under the knife of the horse thieves."
As soon as these words came out, Li Qing smiled bitterly in his heart and couldn't help but envy him.
At that time, Fatty Wu was instructed by him to hide in the loess slope outside the frontier military camp, and he really escaped a disaster!
Not only that, he was so hungry that he was dizzy and didn't dare to go out. He thought he would starve to death in the wilderness, but he didn't expect to meet his current master, the old ancestor of swallowing the sky!
When he thought of this, Li Qing was so envious that he almost bit his teeth off. If he had known this would happen, he should have taken refuge in the graveyard with Fatty Wu!
