Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Second Level of Qi Training
Li An did not break through immediately, but took time to go to the sect trading market again.
But this time, to his surprise, no one wanted the spiritual rice.
Li An asked around, and the sect suddenly suspended all the tasks related to the Spirit Beast Mountain Range.
Li An couldn't help but wonder, the small beast tide should not have disappeared, could there be other changes in the Spirit Beast Mountain Range?
"Senior Sister Xu is here,"
Xu Qiuhui has a graceful figure, and she attracted many people's attention as soon as she appeared.
But this time, she came to set up a stall.
She walked to Li An's stall and said:
"You don't have to send me spiritual rice next month. As for your batch of spiritual rice, I will accept it according to the agreement, but the balance will be paid to you after I sell something later."
Li An was surprised. It seems that Xu Qiuhui has also started to be poor?
He can understand that although Xu Qiuhui is a formal disciple and has a generous monthly allowance, the expenses are also high. The later you go, the more expensive the magic tools, elixirs, etc. you need. Besides, Xu Qiuhui has already reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, and should start preparing for foundation building.
So she has always wanted to capture the mysterious spirit beast in the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, and she spends a lot of money every month buying spirit rice, spirit talismans, spirit tools, etc.
Unfortunately, eight months have passed, and not only has she not caught the spirit beast, but she has wasted a lot of time and missed many opportunities to capture ordinary spirit beasts.
"No need, Immortal. Last month you gave me half a spirit stone as a deposit. According to the market price this month, this hundred kilograms of spirit rice is only worth half a piece, and you don't have to pay the balance."
Li An is very open-minded.
In his opinion, Xu Qiuhui is a good person.
Xu Qiuhui didn't say anything else. Obviously, she is really at the end of her rope now, and she said immediately:
"Okay, then borrow your stall, how about I set up a stall?"
Li An agreed of course, and hurriedly made room for her.
Immediately, Xu Qiuhui put a lot of things on Li An's stall.
Two broken first-grade herbs, half a bottle of detoxification pills, an old talisman pen, dozens of talisman papers...
These things are not accepted at the sect exchange office and cannot be exchanged for contribution points, so she can only resell them in the trading market.
Li An's eyes lit up, "Master Xu, how much are these talisman pens and talisman papers?"
Xu Qiuhui was surprised, "You want to buy?"
"Yes, I have studied the basics of talismans for half a year and want to give it a try..."
He came out this time just to buy talisman pens and talisman papers!
After all, he will soon break through the second level of Qi Refining, and I am afraid that some troubles will arise at that time.
Appropriately show your talent as a talisman master and improve your value.
In this way, many unnecessary troubles will naturally disappear.
Xu Qiuhui shook her head: "Although the talisman path has the lowest requirements for comprehension and qualifications, I don't recommend you to learn it, it will only increase waste."
Among the hundreds of arts of cultivating immortals, the most common ones are alchemy, refining, talismans, array formations, etc.
Talismans are to use talisman pens and talisman paper to depict the corresponding rules of the avenue. As long as they succeed, the talismans will have the corresponding functions.
In contrast, talismans are the easiest for ordinary people to get in touch with, because even if the qualifications are relatively poor, they can draw some basic talismans through hard practice.
But the threshold lies in: success rate!
Most people spend a lot of talisman paper and talisman pens to draw one or two talisman papers. The success rate is too low, and the gains are not proportional to the cost.
Unless you are gifted or have a deep background support, you can improve the success rate and become a qualified talisman master through a lot of practice.
Xu Qiuhui herself has tried it, but her talent is limited and the success rate is also low, so the talisman pen and talisman paper are idle.
In her opinion, Li An is just a choress, and his spiritual roots are damaged. It is nothing but a foolish dream to want to follow the path of a talisman master.
Li An said firmly: "Master, I want to try!"
"Okay,"
Xu Qiuhui did not persuade him any more, "I spent five spirit stones to buy this first-level talisman pen, and it is still half new. Together with these dozens of talisman papers, I will give you three spirit stones."
Li An paid the money readily and exchanged it for Xu Qiuhui's talisman paper.
Then, he continued to walk around.
"Little errand boy, are you here again? Come, I have just picked the Hanchun grass today, and I have prepared it for you."
On a herbal medicine stall, a middle-aged registered disciple saw Li An and smiled and spoke.
This registered disciple was named Zhou Xin, who was at the third level of Qi Refining. He was at the bottom among the registered disciples. The herbs he sold were also very poor. He was the only one who sold the useless spiritual herbs like Hanchun grass.
Since Li An bought Hanchun grass for him, he had a stable source of customers, and he would get dozens of kilograms every month.
"By the way, the price of spring grass has increased recently. Twenty kilograms will cost half a spiritual stone." Zhou Xin spoke leisurely. He would raise the price for Li An every once in a while. Anyway, it would be a waste not to kill a fat sheep like Li An! After a bargaining, Li An took twenty kilograms of spring grass and went to Lingzhi Mountain. ... Back to Lingzhi Mountain, closed the door. Li An laid out the talisman paper and talisman pen, looking forward to it. In his previous life, thanks to the support of the resources of the Xiuxian family behind him, although his qualifications were relatively ordinary, he still grew into a talisman master. Later, after forming a pill, he reached a very high level in the art of talismans. Ordinary people who want to become talisman masters must accumulate a lot of experience to increase their success rate. And he has no shortage of experience! He picked up the talisman pen, entered a meditative state, and then began to make talismans. Starting with the simplest spirit gathering talisman. The Soul Gathering Talisman, a first-level lower grade, is a kind of basic talisman that can strengthen the gathering of spiritual energy. One talisman can be used for a month.
When the brush was halfway through the painting, the talisman paper was destroyed.
Li An was not discouraged. His qualifications in this life were even worse, and it was normal that he did not have a good grasp of the talisman pen.
After drawing the seventh one, the Soul Gathering Talisman finally succeeded.
Only one Soul Gathering Talisman succeeded out of ten talisman papers.
This ratio is already very strong among beginners. Ordinary people may have to waste three or four hundred pieces of paper to succeed once.
But Li An was still not satisfied. He continued to meditate and then continued to draw talismans.
For the next twenty pieces of talisman paper, his success rate increased significantly, with fifteen failures and five successes!
From this ratio, he is already a qualified talisman master!
"There are thirteen pieces of talisman paper left. You can try the 'Flame Talisman'!"
The Flame Talisman is also a first-level lower grade, but it is an offensive talisman that can pose a threat to cultivators below the third level of Qi training!
It is more difficult than the Soul Gathering Talisman.
In the end, all thirteen pieces of talisman paper were wasted, but the Flame Talisman was still a little short of being made.
"With three or five more pieces of talisman paper, it should be successful..."
Li An was quite regretful, just a little short of it.
In the end, out of forty-three pieces of talisman paper, he harvested six Soul Gathering Talismans.
What surprised Li An the most was that he didn't feel particularly sleepy after drawing so many talismans.
"The life seed also significantly improves mental power!"
Drawing talismans consumes a lot of mental power. Generally, it is difficult for a cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining to finish drawing ten pieces. If it exceeds fifteen pieces, he will fall into a coma.
"In this case, spiritual and spiritual cultivation methods should be very suitable for my cultivation!"
Li An found a new direction.
He thought about it. The spiritual cultivation methods were too rare. He only got a copy of "Super Sense Art" in his previous life.
Moreover, it was a fragmentary scripture, only the first volume.
At present, he can only start with Super Sense Art.
Putting away the talisman paper and talisman pen, he immediately followed the Super Sense Technique and practiced silently.
Super Sense Technique fully mobilizes people's spirit and makes perception stronger.
At the Qi Refining Realm, "Spiritual Consciousness" cannot be cultivated yet, but perception will be reflected in hearing, vision, smell and other aspects, which will greatly improve combat and reconnaissance!
In the middle of the night, Li An felt that his heart was completely calm, and many subtle sounds poured into his ears.
The ups and downs of Zhang Susu's moans next door became clearly audible.
Although he was determined, he was still a young and energetic body. What he heard this time was too detailed, and a burst of evil fire rose in his lower abdomen...
...
In the blink of an eye, another two months passed.
In these two months, Li An did not go out again and practiced in Lingzhi Mountain.
Until this night, Li An took advantage of the next few days when the rice fields were in the seedling stage and there was nothing to do, and closed the door early.
In front of him, six spiritual stones were placed!
His state was at the peak of the first level of Qi Refining, very close to the second level.
He closed his eyes and began to absorb the pure spiritual energy in the spirit stone to break through!
…
Ten days later.
Li An finally walked out of his residence.
He couldn't help but roar to the sky!
"Ah——"
The roar was full of joy.
Even Zhang Susu and Wang Zilin beside him were startled by him and hurried out to check.
Li An looked like a clay man, with a lot of black dirt on his body, but his eyes were extremely bright and his aura changed greatly.
"I broke through to the second level of Qi Refining!"
Li An looked like a fool, very excited.
Zhang Susu and Wang Zilin were shocked when they heard it.
Li An, this guy, his spiritual roots are useless? He should only stay at the first level of Qi Refining in this life!
Even Fan Jie came down the mountain to check Li An's state in person.
"Your spiritual roots have been basically restored?"
Fan Jie was extremely surprised and grabbed Li An's shoulders: "You got a second-grade elixir?!"
Li An was a little confused: "No, I just cooked a pot of spring grass a few days ago and ate it all. As a result, I fainted from stomach pain. When I woke up, I broke through..."
Hearing this, Fan Jie and the other two were stunned.
Han Chun grass has this effect?
No...
Fan Jie suddenly thought of something and hurried to Li An's residence to check, but Li An had drunk up the bottom of the pot, and there was no trace left.
"What did you feel when you ate the spring grass?"
Fan Jie asked anxiously. "This time, the Hanchun grass is indeed different. The soup is very white and tastes a bit numb. I had a stomachache right after eating it, but I got over it..."
Li An said honestly: "Master, am I food poisoned?"
Fan Jie's face was complicated on the spot, and he said: "Fuck poisoned, you... didn't eat Hanchun grass at all, it was most likely Yuanchun grass!!"
"I don't know which idiot actually sold you Yuanchun grass as Hanchun grass... What a bastard! Waste, waste!"
He immediately explained the difference between Yuanchun grass and Hanchun grass.
After listening, Zhang Susu and Wang Zilin next to him were stunned.
Especially Wang Zilin, his mentality was a little exploded on the spot. This Li Ba Pi, who did things that angered the heavens and the people, could still have such shitty luck?
Is there still justice?
Is there still the law? ! !
