Chapter 26 Five Years of Gas Refining
Chapter 26 Five Years of Gas Refining
There are no years in the cave, and I don't know how many years there are in the world. Li Hua now has this feeling. He knows a little about the state of mind of those who have been practicing Taoism for hundreds of years. When practicing, I really can't feel the passage of time. The law of time seems to have lost its utility under the action of the essence slowly flowing in the meridians.
Only practitioners have such time to spend on squandering and practicing. Ordinary people only have a lifespan of 70 or 80 years, and as long as practitioners step into the three layers of the refining period and refine their energy into the body, they can immediately slow down the aging of the body. It is not a problem to live for 15060 years. As for the foundation period, if you have vitality to nourish your body from time to time, you can live for three or four hundred years. The Jindan period has a life span of five or 600 years, or don't say, "One adult golden elixir is in sight." The Yuanying period is very powerful. The body can maintain for thousands of years before it begins to age, while the cultivated Yuanying can survive another one or two years after the body dies. As for old monsters such as the disaster period and the Mahayana period, they are either preparing for their own natural disasters or waiting for the rise. They may not even know how long their lives.
Unconsciously, Li Hua has been practicing for five years, and these five years have really passed in a flash. In the past five years, with the jade pendant, he continued to inject essence into Dantian. Li Hua kept struggling between the three layers of gas refining and the great perfection of gas refining, and then fell to the three layers of gas refining, and then continued to refine gas for great perfection.
Every time Li Hua refines the essence in Dantian, the jade pendant will immediately inject new essence, which is twice as much as the last time. It took Li Hua more than a month to achieve the first time to achieve the great perfection of gas refining, the second time was more than three months, the third time was nearly seven months, and the fourth time was one year and five months. After the last time, Li Hua practiced for more than two years. Looking at the little remaining energy in Dantian, Li Hua began to worry.
After four great perfections, the essence and aura stored in Li Hua's body have almost reached the limit. If Yupei continues to inject more essence into Dantian after the fifth time of gas refining, and Li Hua's body can no longer refine more essence, then Li Hua can only stay in the refining period forever. At this time, Li Hua finally knew why this jade pendant had the word "There is no door to seek immortals" before. Injecting essence into the Dantian infinitely like this, he will never achieve a stable state of refining gas. It is really no way to seek immortals.
"Ai..." Li Hua sighed and collected the formula of refining qi. Since experiencing four successful qi refining, Li Hua had to slow down his practice pace in the face of a body full of more and more essence. Now, Li Hua only spends a few hours practicing every day, and more time Li Hua goes to dig spiritual stones. Now tens of thousands of low-grade spiritual stones, more than a dozen medium-grade spiritual stones, and even the first-grade spiritual stones are lucky to be found by him in the depths of a mine. A top-grade spiritual stone can be exchanged for 100 medium-grade spiritual stones, while a middle-grade spiritual stone can be exchanged for 100 lower-grade spiritual stones. It can be said that even most of the foundation-building disciples are not as rich as Li Hao.
In five years, Li Hua is no longer the little boy he used to be. At the age of 14, he has grown much taller and looks much more mature. Although he is not a beautiful teenager, he also has good facial features and beautiful eyebrows. Li Hua was satisfied with the appearance of his skin bag and laughed at himself as a pure student.
"Little brother, little brother..." A familiar voice sounded outside the cave, which was Li Hao's voice. Relying on the Li family's monthly payment of 20 low-grade spiritual stones every month, Li Hao does not need to worry about the spiritual stones cultivated at all. Li Hao, who practiced with all his strength, was also limited, but he was a little more than normal people and would not seem to be endless like Li Hua, so it only took more than two years to refine his spirit.
Moreover, Li Hao barely won the 22nd place in the three-year small comparison and got a reward for building a foundation elixir. He happened to have a little character and fortunately succeeded in building a foundation.
The Cangyun School receives more than 2,000 disciples from the secular world every ten years. Then there will be a small comparison every three years, and there will be a big comparison every five years. Those who participate in Xiaobi must be disciples who are perfect in refining gas, and the top 30 can get a reward for building a foundation elixir. The big comparison is prepared for the disciples in the foundation period. There are two big comparisons in ten years, and the top five of each big comparison can become the core disciples of this generation of disciples. As for the disciples who have not built a foundation for ten years, they will be swept out by the Cangyun faction.
Li Hao participated in the first big match. In only three years, he reached less than 200 disciples, so he was lucky enough to win the twelfth place. In the first big win, Li Hao was not so lucky. Although there were more than a dozen talents participating, Li Hao was eliminated in the first round. It can be said that you missed the best opportunity to become the core disciple of Zhenchuan. Next big comparison, there will be many more disciples participating in the foundation period.
"Brother Hao, you are still a little brother and a little brother. I'm not young anymore. Moreover, according to your cultivation, I will still call you uncle!" Li Hua walked out of the cave and saw Li Hao flying around in front of his cave gate with the nine-grade spiritual weapon flying sword bought by ten medium-grade spiritual stones.
In the world of cultivation, if it is not the blood relationship of close relatives, they are generally called the other party according to the cultivation gap. The disciples of the refining period should call the foundation period as the uncle, the Jindan period as the uncle, and the Yuanying period and above are the masters and ancestors.
"You came just in time, Brother Hao! Just take me to 'Multer Peak' to buy a spiritual weapon flying sword, as well as some swordsmanship secrets!" Yiwufeng is the place for disciples to trade goods in the Cangyun School. The second Xiaobi is coming soon. Whether he can practice or not, Li Hua should also prepare for his Xiaobi first. In the past five years, Li Hua has only been focusing on cultivation and has not found some sword secrets to practice like other disciples in the family. The Cangyun School is the largest school of sword cultivation. Even if there is any swordsmanship secret book practiced by disciples in the refining period, it is an unrivaled secret book in the secular martial arts. Last time, Li Hao was also lucky to rely on the saved Lingshi to buy a copy of Qingyun Sword Tips to win the top 30 by a narrow advantage.
"Little brother, are you preparing for Xiaobi in two months? Have you practiced until the refining of gas is complete? As soon as he heard Li Hua's words, Li Hao immediately landed with the flying sword and jumped from the sword three or four meters away from the ground. Then the flying sword automatically flew back to the scabbard behind him. It looked so chic that Li Hua was envious. Li Hua did not tell Li Hao about his mysterious jade pendant, so Li Hao always thought that Li Hua was constantly practicing gas refining essence and did not achieve great perfection.
"Quick..." Li Hua could only nod and answer Li Hao vaguely. The most important thing for him now is to find a way to stop Yupei from instilling essence into his Dantian. In addition to buying flying swords and sword tips, the most important thing to go to the barter peak this time is to see if there is any way to achieve the perfection of refining gas.
"Great, little brother! It took you more than five years to refine your qi, and you must have stored a lot of essence in your body. If you reach the foundation period, your vitality will definitely be several times higher than mine, and you are expected to become the core disciple of Zhenchuan in the next big comparison. With Li Hua's affirmation, Li Hao was even more overjoyed. He took out two middle-grade spiritual stones from his storage bag and handed them to Li Hua, "Brother Hao can't help you much. These two middle-grade spiritual stones are still available."
Li Hao is now a disciple of the foundation period. The Li family's treatment to the disciples of the foundation period is five medium-grade spiritual stones per month. If it is the core foundation disciple of the true transmission, it is ten medium-grade spiritual stones. And the heirs of direct blood like Li Daoqing directly own the mine, which can extract the output of the mine for his own cultivation. For example, the mine that Li Hua went to mine last time was under Li Daoqing's name.
"Ha ha, Brother Hao, have you forgotten? Brother, I never lack spiritual stones!" Li Hua smiled and rejected Li Hao's two middle-grade spiritual stones, and then took out the only top-grade spiritual stones from the space of the jade pendant, put them in his hand, and showed them to Li Hao.
"Well...this is...it's actually a top-grade spiritual stone!" Seeing the purple top-grade spiritual stone in Li Hua's hand, Li Hao was so shocked that his chin was about to fall off. Others saw that Li Hua had not built a foundation for more than five years, and they all thought that after he refused to receive the Li family's 20 yuan monthly payment, he lacked the spiritual stone supply of aura to cultivate slowly. However, Li Hao really knew that Li Hua did not lack the spiritual stone at all. Every time Li Hao wanted to send the spiritual stone to the little brother, Li Hua could take out several times the spiritual stone. Every time Li Hao asked him where these spiritual stones came from, Li Hua always answered simply that it was mined. Every time Li Hao wanted to roll up his sleeves and go down to the mine.
This time, Li Hua took out the purple top-grade spiritual stone. This kind of spiritual stone, even more than a dozen large and small spiritual veins in the whole Cangyun Mountain, only produce a few hundred pieces every month, and are rushed to practice by those old monsters who survived the disaster period. Usually, even the disciples of the Jindan period don't have one, and the best thing they can use is the middle-grade spiritual stone.
"This...this top-grade spiritual stone was also mined by you?" Li Hao stared straight at the top-grade spiritual stone in Li Hua's hand. Even if the top-grade spiritual stone is dug, it is not allowed to be taken away. It must be handed over to the sect, and at most give some rewards to the excavated disciples. So Li Hao also wondered how Li Hua could have a top-grade spiritual stone.
"This piece! Of course, I mined it, and I secretly brought it out!" Li Hua shook the top-grade spiritual stone in front of Li Hao again, and then immediately took back the jade pendant. Looking at Li Hao's appearance that seemed to be drooling, he smiled and said, "The mountain people have their own tricks! Let's go, Brother Hao, take me to the barter peak!"
"Oh! Well, you have so many spiritual stones that you can buy a better flying sword. My broken sword is only a nine-grade spiritual weapon, and it actually cost me ten medium-grade spiritual stones. You have to choose a good one this time. In fact, you can buy a little more eight-grade spiritual weapon flying sword with ten medium-grade spiritual stones. Li Hao complained, and then pinched the magic formula in his hand, and the flying sword on his back flew out with a "sw" and steadily on the ground, getting a little bigger, just enough to carry two people.
