Chapter 22 Self-reflection and bad news
Dawn shines through the window.
The sky is already white with fish belly.
Magnolia was obviously very tired. She hugged the quilt and fell asleep in a rather unsightly posture. She even snored.
The exhausted Yu Xian was shirtless and sitting cross-legged on the floor, with a spiritual light emerging from his head.
The mana in his body was boiling endlessly, and there was some strange reaction with the surrounding air. At a glance, it seemed as if there was a weak white light shield surrounding him.
Although the spiritual energy in the mortal world is thin and unsuitable for practice, it is obvious that this situation does not apply to the golden finger.
The new mana growing in Yu Xian's body seemed to come from another dimension and was not affected by the current environment at all.
Finally, he successfully broke through to the late stage of Qi training.
[Name: Yu Xian]
[Cultivation: Seventh level of Qi training (1/210)]
[Taoist Companion: Magnolia (1/1)]
In the later stage of Qi training, in addition to the stronger and higher quality of magic power, the most striking feature is the separation of spiritual consciousness from the body.
In the early stage of Qi training, the magic power is condensed and the spiritual consciousness arises on its own.
However, the spiritual consciousness at this moment is still extremely weak, which can only make the practitioner's ears and eyes sharper and his perception more acute.
As cultivation gradually deepens, spiritual awareness also grows and grows.
In the middle stage of Qi training, spiritual consciousness can control itself and grasp its own situation anytime and anywhere, which is the method of introspection.
If it is stronger, it can also use the physical body to extend spiritual consciousness outside the body to achieve a clairvoyant effect.
Just like when I was gambling on stones before.
At this level, if you want to practice martial arts, then everyone is a martial arts genius.
Because controlling the essence and blood of the physical body allows them to get twice the result with half the effort and make great progress in the path of Qi and blood.
But not many immortal cultivators are willing to practice martial arts anymore.
After all, magic power circulates and automatically tempers the body, making the physical body stronger without the need to practice martial arts. Coupled with the existence of various powerful spiritual arts, martial arts has become an extremely useless existence.
That is to say, the spiritual energy in the mortal world is thin and it is difficult to practice Qi, so martial arts can survive.
In the later stage of Qi training, spiritual consciousness is no longer an auxiliary force, but becomes one of the cores alongside the mana in the body.
The spiritual consciousness that could only barely leave the body successfully broke through the limitations of the physical body and could wander outside the body at will, just like the third hand of a cultivator.
It is also a third hand that comes with a 360-degree panoramic map.
The spiritual consciousness is released to the outside world, and it is also the foundation of the immortal cultivator's weapon.
The royal weapon sounds very noble.
In fact, it is not much different from a warrior holding a sword, except that the hand holding the sword becomes an invisible and immaterial spiritual consciousness.
The distance of the spiritual consciousness also means the distance of the imperial weapon.
When Yu Xian first reached the late stage of Qi training, the distance of his spiritual consciousness was less than ten meters. Within ten meters, he could control the magic weapon to move according to his heart, and all movements could no longer be hidden from him.
If he wanted to, he could see the movement of an ant in the corner behind him without turning around.
His heart moved. A teacup on the table about three or four meters away suddenly began to tremble and sway, as if an invisible hand was trying to lift it up.
But when it was two centimeters away from the table, the force released, and the teacup landed firmly on the table.
"It seems that the power of pure spiritual consciousness is still too difficult to directly affect reality. No wonder it needs to be equipped with a magic weapon as standard, rather than just a random weapon."
Yu Xian thought to himself.
You must know that when he was in the middle stage of Qi training, he could control his magic hands and move wooden boxes weighing hundreds of kilograms.
But now, driven purely by spiritual consciousness, he can't even hold a cup of tea.
Of course, one is to open and close, and the other is to embroider on tofu. The difficulty of the two is not the same.
He had thought before that if his spiritual consciousness could be released and he could control the sword to fly out of its sheath at will, wouldn't it be similar to a magical weapon?
Only after experimenting now, he discovered that there is still a long way to go before spiritual consciousness can affect reality.
Without the guidance of his predecessors, he could only rely on his own exploration for all his practice experience.
But Yu Xian didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Once there is a teacher sect, it means a large network of interpersonal relationships, and it also means trouble.
Teacher, you have something to do, do you want to do it?
The sect is in trouble, do you want to help?
Once you become a helper, you will naturally have all kinds of chores, and you will even have to fight with others, and if you are not careful, you will die.
Although his life now is more miserable and difficult, and he is reluctant to even use a spiritual stone, he is better than being pure and worry-free.
Of course, the main thing is that he has Taoist companions to help him, and he can practice step by step. He doesn't have as many worries as ordinary immortal cultivators, so it's natural and worry-free.
Normal cultivators can only go further if they are protected by their elders.
After Yu Xian made a breakthrough, he did some introspection and found that he was very satisfied with his current life, so he decided to keep it.
"It takes 210 cultivation points to practice the seventh level of qi. According to the average progress of two points a day, it will take me more than three months, which is not much."
"Calculated in this way, the cultivation points required for each level of realm are the sum of the previous two levels. According to this inference, it will take half a year to practice the eighth level of Qi, and just over a year to practice the ninth level."
"Tsk, tsk, before I came to the mortal world, who would have believed that I would be able to transform from a minor character at the third level of Qi training to a quasi-foundation master at the ninth level of Qi training in less than three years.
The life of cheating really needs no explanation. "
"Time is mine. There is no need to rush to compete for the moment. I have to continue to keep a low profile."
I leisurely collected my magic power, and the restless atmosphere gradually calmed down, followed by a strong feeling of fatigue and sleepiness.
He couldn't help but knock his lower back.
That's right, it feels clean and not a drop is left.
Even though he was in the late stage of Qi training, he was still an ordinary human body. His body was not extraordinary, and his waist naturally had the limits of ordinary people.
This eagerness for a breakthrough has greatly overdrawn his happy life in the future.
"Made, your skin is almost gone."
Yu Xian lowered his head and stared at a certain lump, lost in thought.
Then he yawned, got up and went to bed, hugging Magnolia and fell asleep.
Originally, he planned to start refining the magic weapon in one go, but now he couldn't.
…
The sun sets over the west mountain, leaving only the afterglow reflecting the sunset on the horizon.
Yu Xian woke up in a daze. He touched his side as usual, but found nothing. Only then did he realize that Yu Lan had already gotten up.
"It seems that in the future we have to act according to our ability. Even though the wine is good, don't be greedy."
With his mind free, Yu Xian got out of bed, put on his clothes, and went downstairs with his wooden clogs. Then he saw Yulan holding Chen Yi in the yard and talking, looking worried.
Hearing the sound of people going downstairs, Yulan turned around immediately. When she saw Yu Xian, she immediately called out to him, ran over happily, and threw herself into Yu Xian's arms.
"What's wrong?"
Yu Xian held Magnolia in his arms, still a little confused.
"Master, do you know? The Baibao Building was robbed, and many people died. Fortunately, we didn't go there today." Yulan looked scared and happy.
