294. The Villainous Elder in the Cultivation World (10)
Gu Xingxue stayed in the inn for more than ten days. After introducing Qi into his body, the spiritual power in the mortal world that he had learned was lacking. It took a lot of effort to mobilize the surrounding spiritual power into the body every time it was used. The books seemed to be written They were all false, at least she felt that the spiritual energy around her was very active when she mobilized it.
I don't know if it was because of this, but in such a short period of time, Gu Xingxue could vaguely feel that his current cultivation level was definitely not at the level of Qi training.
Except for Wei Mingyan and Yan Huihui, she has not come into contact with other practitioners, so she has no way of knowing how to check her own cultivation. She can only continue to practice according to the book in a muddle.
She could easily feel that her body was gradually becoming lighter and her strength had become much stronger. At this rate, Gu Xingxue would soon need to build a foundation.
It is said that the Qi training stage, which is very powerful in the mortal world, is not considered a real cultivator in the world of cultivation. Foundation building is the bottom state of the world of cultivation.
Now that everyone in the family knew that she had left with the people of Xu Ling Sect, Gu Xingxue couldn't just go back like this. Naturally, she wanted to go to the wider world of cultivation.
So before that, she must improve her cultivation level before she can pass through the gate of the two worlds and gain a foothold in the world of cultivation.
The original spirit stone was still placed in the ring space left by Wei Mingyan, and Gu Xingxue had no intention of touching anything other than swordsmanship.
Even the swordsmanship was something she hesitated before taking it out to practice.
It's not that I'm afraid of what that man will do, it's just that after using his things, I always feel that my attitude has changed.
It's just that she is obsessed with swordsmanship, and she wants to ascend the path of immortality. It's really...
Thinking of this, Gu Xingxue felt a little ashamed.
Once she used it, she just used it. No matter how many excuses she made, it would be useless.
It would be better to find out how much a book of martial arts is worth in the world of cultivation, earn the spiritual stones worth of this swordsmanship book, and return it together with the ring and the items inside.
This is the best solution Gu Xingxue can think of at the moment.
When she realized that the spiritual power in her body seemed to have vaguely reached a limit, and she could not break through it no matter how hard she worked, Gu Xingxue temporarily put aside her practice and left the inn to continue her journey.
Even she didn't know where she was going. After thinking about it, she heard that there were the most cultivators in Liucheng, Yangzhou. Maybe she could go there and ask about the situation of cultivators in the mortal world.
Just as she walked out of the inn door, a woman wearing men's clothing and a hat suddenly stopped.
wrong.
She just stood at the door, trying to absorb the external spiritual power through her body.
There are only two words for this feeling: difficult
No matter how hard Gu Xingxue worked, she could only harvest a small amount of spiritual power, and this spiritual power was not as pure as one-tenth of what she absorbed in the inn.
To use a metaphor, the spiritual power in the inn is like an inexhaustible ocean, and if it is pure, it is like clear spring water. However, only separated by a door, the spiritual power outside is mottled and complex, and it seems to be about to dry up. The creek squeezed out a pitiful little bit of water, which was mixed with loess and sand. Occasionally, two half-dead fish would jump out. It was stumbling to absorb it, and I couldn't calm down at all.
The spiritual power outside the inn is the norm in the mortal world. This is why there are so few cultivators in the mortal world. If you grow up surrounded by such spiritual power, the chance of developing spiritual roots is not bad. What can you do if you want to practice? , one must put in ten times, a hundred times or even a thousand times the effort of a person with the same cultivation level in the upper realm.
In addition, cultivators are not immortal. Although a rise in a realm can last for a while, it will eventually come to an end.
Birth, old age, illness and death, sorrow and separation.
This is something that no one can escape no matter how they are born, but it happens that cultivators can jump out of this circle and become high-ranking immortals.
Because of this, even those who knew that the mortal world was barren, those who were left with poor spiritual roots, or those who had not had time to participate in the sect's only chance to choose disciples began to explore their own practice. At first, many people took detours until The disciples of the sect who were selected from the mortal world and moved to the upper realm had cultivated to the point where they could reach the lower realm. They spread some books used by cultivators to the mortal realm, and the number of wild cultivators in the mortal realm increased.
Almost every cultivator in the mortal world who embarks on the path of spiritual practice has the same idea: the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead! ! They are the rising stars in the mortal world!
——Then, without exception, they were photographed dead on the beach.
There are always many geniuses, but there are never any monsters.
Even though the Houlangs have a high status in the mortal world and are in control of a huge family, if someone from the cultivation world comes, even a young disciple will have to bow their head and be careful to flatter them, for fear of offending others.
In the end, the back wavers realized that there was no future in the mortal world, and they had to squeeze into the world of cultivation even if they had to fight for the top spot!
Gu Xingxue had never understood why the elders in the family insisted on waiting until they were taken away by the sect before they officially started to practice, even though they had books on spiritual practice in their hands. In the past, she had speculated that it might be because those books were not orthodox after all, and the elders They are afraid that after they learn it, they will not be able to follow and practice better in the upper world.
But now absorbing the mottled spiritual energy, Gu Xingxue felt that she understood the reason.
If she had only used spiritual power from the beginning, not to mention her slow rise in cultivation, she would not be able to withstand pure spiritual power. When she reaches the world of cultivation, it will be even more difficult to practice.
Gu Xingxue closed her eyes slightly and expelled all the complicated and chaotic spiritual energy from her body. When she opened her eyes, her dark eyes moved and she stepped into the inn again.
She looked around at the diners eating around her.
No, there is no clue at all.
Gu Xingxue, who was wearing black men's clothing and a curtain hat, went up the stairs of the inn and returned to his room. He opened the window and saw a big tree standing on the left side outside. Looking up from the bottom, the leaves were lush. It was so thick that nothing could be seen clearly.
She just stood there and looked around. Apart from the wing, there was only one big tree that could hide people without being discovered.
Gu Xingxue opened the bag and took out the red soft whip.
When she was at home, her favorite weapon besides the sword was the long whip, but because few men used the whip when she was away from home, she put it away to avoid trouble.
He took the long whip, took off the curtain on his head, twirled it and threw it on the bed. He swung the soft whip from the window and hooked it on the tree trunk. He climbed up the tree lightly following the force.
Gu Xingxue can climb trees. When she was a child, every time Gu Yuling's kite fell and got hung on a tree, her mother would say it was too dangerous to get a new kite. Gu Yuling liked that kite hanging on the tree too much. Standing there crying aggrievedly, she carried her mother on her back and climbed up to get it.
She is very courageous and has practiced martial arts since she was a child. She is always used to wrapping a soft whip around tree trunks. Not only did she not have any accidents, but she also became quite proficient in the skill of climbing trees.
Although this big tree is very big and has many leaves on it, the main trunk is not that complicated. Gu Xingxue climbed up easily. After that, she stood on a slightly thick branch, supporting the main trunk with her hands, and sat down. The white-clothed immortal on a thin branch met his gaze.
The scene was momentarily awkward.
Finally, the handsome-faced immortal broke the silence first: "I am enlightening."
Gu Xingxue looked at the thin branch where he was sitting.
"Practice people don't eat grains. What's more, I'm already in the Mahayana stage. If I want to, I can fly in the air without stepping on a sword."
I don't know why, but she should be angry that this man didn't leave, but looking at his indifferent expression without any guilt at all, Gu Xingxue couldn't get angry anymore.
How can she be promoted? Ever since she met this person, no matter what her attitude was, he was like a wooden figure, always with that indifferent expression.
For a moment, Gu Xingxue even felt that she was making trouble unreasonably.
Of course, she quickly forced this completely unreasonable thought out of her mind.
"Junior happens to want to return this ring these days. Now that senior is here, take it back."
She took out the ring in her purse with one hand and handed it over, "There is also the book on swordsmanship. This junior will collect enough spiritual stones worth the swordsmanship value and return it to the senior together. It will only be regarded as a purchase. "
Wei Mingyan quietly looked at the white finger holding the ring in front of him, looking at the frustration and hatred hidden in Gu Xingxue's eyes, and suddenly said: "If this is not the case, I will give you a chance."
Looking at the girl who looked at him for unknown reasons, he said quietly: "I have established the Xu Ling Sect. The first rule of the Xu Ling Sect is that the disciples of the sect master will not kill their masters for one day, and they will not leave the masters for one day."
"I accept you as my disciple, and I will have a chance to compete with you every year. If you kill me, it is completely normal for reasons, emotions, and yourself."
Gu Xingxue was stunned. All she could think about was how she hated the person in front of her and how she wanted to get rid of him quickly. But when Wei Mingyan handed over the knife with his own hand, she hesitated again.
Whether it was because she was wary of some conspiracy, or because Wei Mingyan had such an air of immortality, she couldn't tell.
But she knew that she had absolutely no favorable impression of Wei Mingyan.
"No need."
Gu Xingxue chose to refuse: "I will never respect you as my teacher!"
She swung out the red whip, wrapped it around the branch below and was about to go down, but she heard the person behind her say in a calm tone, as if she was saying, "I've bought a teacup and come back": "I owe you, and I will never let it go." You are alone."
"Either you worship me as your teacher, or the two of us become Taoist partners. If you don't want to, I will naturally have other ways to make you nod."
"you!"
Gu Xingxue looked back sharply, and the hatred that had just faded was once again stained with incredible disgust: "Shameless villain!"
"You are so dignified and cultivated in the Mahayana period that you actually do despicable things that threaten others. You are not afraid of being laughed at by the world!"
The immortal in white seemed to have heard something interesting, and a smile slowly appeared on Ruyu's handsome face.
"Is it possible that you still think that everyone in the upper world abides by etiquette and loves the younger generation?"
"If I am better than you, even if I say the moon is square, it will be square. If I say the tree is round, it must be round."
"The weak eat the strong, the fittest survive. Even a child who is babbling knows that the world of cultivation respects the strong..."
"This is the world of cultivation."
He stood up slowly, looked down at the girl who was looking at him with hatred, curled his lips, leaned slightly, and stretched out his hand towards her.
"How about it, my good disciple, do you want to come down with Master?"
The author has something to say: The first ten little angels will give out red envelopes, okay?
