Chapter 93 The talisman master refuses to help? The talisman master refuses to accept!
"Are all these protesters first-class talisman masters..."
Li Xiuchang watched and listened for a while before he figured out what was going on.
He guessed wrong. These protesters were not all first-class talisman masters.
There were also second-class talisman masters.
The reason was that a notice was posted in the General Affairs Hall these two days. The content was roughly as follows:
In order to support unpopular skills, the sect decided to spend a huge amount of money to hold an unpopular skills competition. All outer disciples who hold the corresponding unpopular skills certificates can participate.
The top ten in each unpopular skills competition can receive generous rewards from the sect.
The supported skills are all recognized unpopular skills, such as the two skills of spiritual cooking and soul control that Li Xiuchang practiced.
The spiritual cooking one held the "Cooking Star Competition".
The soul control one held the "Future Ghost King Competition".
There are two tracks, first-class and second-class. Participants participate according to their own skill levels. No matter which track they get in the top ten, there will be rewards.
As for Li Xiuchang's invincible spiritual plant skills, although not the most popular skills, they are not unpopular either, so they are not included in the support list.
The original intention of the sect to support unpopular skills was good, but it directly broke the defense of a group of talisman masters.
"What is there to support unpopular skills? Those who practice unpopular skills are living a comfortable life!"
"Are you kidding me! We talisman masters are the group that really needs support!"
"The sect's poverty alleviation must also ensure that resources can fall into the hands of those who really need them."
"Give the talisman masters some care and love!"
The talisman masters raised their fists in protest, venting their dissatisfaction.
Li Xiuchang glanced and did not see the figure of Senior Brother Yan Song. No wonder these talisman masters dared to be so arrogant.
Several disciples in charge of the General Affairs Hall argued with the talisman masters: "You talisman masters are already the most popular skills. This time we are supporting unpopular skills. What does it have to do with you?"
But it was useless. The talisman masters simply did not listen.
Li Xiuchang didn't pay much attention to the noise around him. His eyes fell on the notice board, switching back and forth between the reward descriptions of the two competitions of Spirit Cooking and Soul Control.
He hoped to participate in the competition of both skills, but the sect stipulated that one person could only receive one reward.
Li Xiuchang's Soul Control skill had reached the first level. As long as he took the exam, he could participate in the first-level Soul Control competition.
He had not yet entered the Spirit Cooking field.
But this competition was held in a year.
In other words, as long as he became a first-level Spirit Cook and got the certificate within a year, he would have time to participate.
The decision of which competition to participate in mainly depends on the reward.
The reward for the Soul Control competition is the Yin Soul.
The first place reward is a second-level Yin Soul.
Although this reward is good, Li Xiuchang is not very tempted.
The main reason is that he already has a second-level Yin Soul Wolf King, and some members of the Paw Patrol are also close to the second level.
Compared with the reward of the Soul Control competition, Li Xiuchang is more interested in the champion reward of the Spirit Cooking competition.
The first place in the Spirit Cooking competition will be rewarded with two cents of bone powder of the third-level ingredient beast king bone!
The beast king bone refers to the most essential bone of the rare third-level tiger monster "Golden Diamond Tiger". It is used to make soup or grind into bone powder for consumption. It can strengthen muscles and bones. It is the best ingredient for second-level physical training and bone forging.
The whole beast king bone is worth tens of thousands of spirit stones, and it is a scarce resource that has spirit stones but nowhere to buy.
"What are you all doing here?" A calm but unignorable voice suddenly came, making everyone present shudder.
Senior Brother Yan Song is back!
Some of the talisman masters who were just indignant have already slipped away.
The protest team of talisman masters collapsed instantly.
As soon as Senior Brother Yan Song came back, the talisman masters had a tendency to disperse like birds and beasts.
But at this time, Senior Brother Yan Song said a few words, which stopped all the talisman masters who were about to escape:
"The sect has agreed to include talisman making in the support skills."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Yan!"
The talisman masters' eyes suddenly lit up.
…
Li Xiuchang saw that there was nothing exciting to watch, so he left the General Affairs Hall, went to the market to buy some things as planned, and returned to No. 18, Donggeng District.
He had always been thinking about the "Cooking Star Competition".
As a third-level ingredient, the beast king bone is a consumable resource, and there is only two coins of bone powder, which is about the same value as the second-level ghost.
But for Li Xiuchang, he can make the beast king bone a renewable resource by increasing its length.
The second level of body refining is the stage of bone refining, and the biggest role of the beast king bone is to assist in bone refining.
Although Li Xiuchang can directly increase the volume of the Dharma image to improve the strength of body refining, as the level of body refining increases, the length required to break through the level will also increase.
If other resources can be used to improve the strength of body refining and let the Dharma image grow, it can also save him a lot of length.
"There is still one year left. As long as I pass the first-level spiritual chef assessment this year, I can participate in the competition."
"But the most urgent task is to build the foundation first, and not put the cart before the horse."
For him, the beast king bone is something that can be ignored, and his own strength is the foundation.
Li Xiuchang focuses on cultivation and accumulates mana with one mind. For this purpose, he uses various elixirs and formations and spends money crazily.
Until more than two months later...
The mana in his body is as surging as the river water. Not only is the dantian filled with liquid mana, but even the second dantian is also filled.
The mana is full again.
"Next, find a place with rich spiritual energy to build the foundation."
Li Xiuchang already felt that his body was struggling to bear the current mana, which meant that he had reached his limit.
Therefore, he did not continue the second round of mana compression.
Now, he has surpassed many foundation-building cultivators in terms of mana alone.
He has reached an unprecedented peak in the Qi training period, and there is no point in staying there.
Li Xiuchang decided to build a foundation as soon as possible.
It is easy to find a place to build a foundation. There is a spiritual vein room in the sect that is specially used for disciples to break through. It can be used by paying a considerable amount of spiritual stones.
But Li Xiuchang wanted to hide the news of his breakthrough in the foundation, so he naturally could not go to the spiritual vein room.
In addition, the practice room that each disciple lives in is also a good choice. Putting more spiritual stones into the spiritual eye to increase the concentration of spiritual energy can also support the foundation.
Li Xiuchang finally chose to break through in the practice room, but it was not his own, but someone else's.
He used the excuse that his own practice room was occupied by the Paw Patrol and went to use Wang Long's practice room.
Wang Long was busy earning spiritual stones all day and rarely used the practice room.
Seeing Li Xiuchang coming over, Wang Long rubbed his hands and said, "Junior brother, I plan to participate in the Fu Dao Youfu Contest held by the sect."
"Fu Dao Youfu Contest? What kind of name is that..." Li Xiuchang complained.
"It is said that it was named by Senior Brother Yan Song. It was Senior Brother Yan Song who fought for the sect to agree to hold this competition."
Senior Brother Yan is strict on the surface, but he is still very caring for the poor Fu Master group in his heart.
The two chatted for a while, and Li Xiuchang changed the topic and asked, "Brother, how are your preparations for foundation building going?"
Wang Long said, "I just need a foundation building pill, and my cultivation level has been raised to the ninth level of Qi training. I know everything I should know and prepare for in other aspects."
"Have you ever watched others build foundations?" Li Xiuchang asked.
Wang Long nodded: "I watched other brothers build their foundations several times in the early years."
"What did you gain?"
"How can you gain anything just by watching from the side? I just watched the excitement... In fact, there was not even excitement to watch, it was purely to satisfy my curiosity."
"Then... was there a lot of noise when building the foundation? Were there any strange phenomena?" Li Xiuchang asked what he wanted to ask.
Wang Long was a little puzzled and said: "Why is my junior brother suddenly so interested in building the foundation? Could it be that you are also going to build the foundation?"
He looked at Li Xiuchang, who was still at the fourth level of Qi training.
However, he also knew that Li Xiuchang had a secret method to hide his cultivation, and the cultivation he showed might not be true.
Li Xiuchang smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "Brother, you think too highly of me. I just want to learn in advance and make plans early. When you build your foundation, don't forget to ask me to watch and learn."
Wang Long said casually: "There is nothing to see. It's just building the foundation, not crossing the tribulation. How can there be any strange phenomena? At most, the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuations are a little larger."
Li Xiuchang was relieved when he heard this.
It seems that there is no big noise after breaking through the foundation, so there is no need to worry about attracting the attention of people around.
"Brother, please do as you please. I'm going out to sell the flying boat."
Wang Long went out to sell goods, and Li Xiuchang was the only one left in the house.
He took a deep breath, sat cross-legged in the practice room, and adjusted his state.
It took half an hour for Li Xiuchang to adjust his physical state, mental state, and psychological state to the best.
Only then did he officially start to build the foundation!
Li Xiuchang took out a large bag of spiritual stones and poured them all into the spiritual eye. After a moment, almost tangible spiritual energy surged out of the spiritual eye!
The entire practice room was filled with spiritual energy in an instant.
Even breathing was full of the sweetness of spiritual energy.
He practiced the foundation-building method and began to stimulate his own spiritual orifices, communicating with the heaven and earth. His physical body also responded, and the pores and acupoints all over his body opened up, breathing in the external spiritual energy.
After a moment, Li Xiuchang suddenly opened his eyes, and the Dantian spiritual orifice also began to operate at the same time, madly absorbing the external spiritual energy!
In fact, it was not that crazy... It was just that a spiritual energy cyclone formed in front of Li Xiuchang, but it was a little small.
Li Xiuchang was not surprised to see the small fist-sized cyclone in front of him.
Because of the stimulation of the foundation-building method, the speed of the spiritual orifice absorbing spiritual energy at this time was much faster than usual.
The better the spiritual orifice aptitude, the more amazing the speed of absorbing spiritual energy during the foundation-building period.
If you take the foundation-building pill, you can double the speed of absorbing spiritual energy.
Li Xiuchang's spiritual orifice aptitude is not good, and he does not take the foundation-building pill, so the speed of absorbing spiritual energy is naturally very ordinary.
But it doesn't matter, mature hackers should learn to be self-sufficient.
He absorbed the spiritual energy from the outside world just for the sake of meaning, and the mana in his body alone was already bursting, and the foundation-building process would be enough with hands.
The liquid mana in his body was already full, and continuing to absorb spiritual energy from the outside would further compress the mana in his body, and the pressure on the body would gradually increase.
However, the body was also in a special state at this time, with the orifices all over the body wide open, constantly absorbing the mana in the body and the spiritual energy from the outside.
The first is to relieve the pressure caused by the filling of mana in the body, and the second is to strengthen the meridians and Dantian, so that the body can better withstand the impact of mana.
Therefore, during the foundation-building process, the physical body's tolerance is greatly improved compared to usual, and the cultivators must seize the opportunity to complete the liquefaction of mana in this limited time.
Normally, if a Qi-training cultivator successfully builds a foundation, the physical body will also be improved in the process.
But for Li Xiuchang, who is at the second level of body training, this strengthening is just icing on the cake.
He mainly took advantage of the opportunity of the improvement of the physical body's tolerance to move the mana in his second Dantian to the main Dantian little by little.
His mana, which had already liquefied like black ink, was now becoming increasingly thicker.
