Chapter 136: Accelerated Cultivation
Gu Xiaoqing was indeed extremely surprised at this moment. When Chu Ning left Yanjifang a month ago, she was still at the fifth level of Qi Refining.
But now, a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Chu Ning has risen to two realms. How could this not surprise her?
Chu Ning nodded slightly and said:
"Well, when I returned to the sect from Fangshi, I happened to break through the sixth level of Qi refining.
This time the sect arranged a task and got some opportunities. Today it just broke through to the seventh level of Qi refining. "
Although Chu Ning found a reason, Gu Xiaoqing still had a look of shock on her face at this moment.
Her talent is quite good. When she went to Yanjifang, she had already broken through the eighth level of Qi refining for some time.
But now he has just reached the threshold of the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Chu Ning, who was originally at the fourth level of Qi Refining, suddenly reached the seventh level of Qi Refining.
Although it is indeed easier to break through in the early stage, it is enough to surprise the outer disciple of the Alchemy Hall.
Even Zhong Ying, who was in the foundation building stage, had a look of surprise on her face at this moment.
However, this surprise only passed for a moment, and then he returned to normal and said:
"Master Nephew Chu has both participated in sect missions and joined the inner sect. He has great hope for foundation building in the future. Why should you make such a fuss, Xiaoqing?"
The matter of spiritual seeds in the spiritual realm is no longer a secret within the sect.
Most people with a little bit of status know this now.
Gu Xiaoqing also heard Zhong Ying mention it after returning to the clan, so she knew about it.
At this moment, when she heard Zhong Ying mentioning that Chu Ning was promising to build a foundation in the future, Gu Xiaoqing couldn't help but have a hint of envy in her eyes.
A gentle smile appeared on his face again, and he said to Chu Ning: "Congratulations to Junior Brother Chu."
"It's nothing, just good luck."
"You guys can chat, I have something else to do."
Zhong Ying saw the two chatting and walked straight towards the inner room without interfering.
Chu Ning happened to be unwilling to talk more about this topic. When he saw the foundation-building uncle leaving, he immediately asked Gu Xiaoqing:
"Senior Sister Gu, you asked Uncle Zhong to summon me..."
"Yes!" Gu Xiaoqing responded and immediately took out a small bag of spirit stones from the storage bag and several jade boxes.
"Junior Brother Chu, I have picked all the Jin Yuan Fruits in your spiritual field. These are spiritual stones.
In addition, I used all the talismans you gave me last time. The golden orchid fruit has also matured in the past few days. I happened to return to the sect, so I picked it and brought it back. "
Hearing that Gu Xiaoqing had actually picked all the golden orchids, Chu Ning was overjoyed and immediately took them.
He said hurriedly: "Thank you so much, senior sister. The sect told me to devote myself to cultivation in the sect. I am really worried about what to do with these spiritual fruits."
Gu Xiaoqing smiled slightly, but there was also a trace of curiosity on her face.
"Junior brother, I have never heard of this Golden Orchid Fruit before, and I feel that its aura is somewhat similar to that of the Golden Yuan Fruit.
But if you feel it carefully, there are obvious differences. "
Chu Ning said vaguely at this moment:
"This fruit was also cultivated by me unintentionally. It is a hybrid of the pollen of two spiritual fruits.
I got the name of Jinlanguo casually, so it’s normal that my senior sister has never heard of it. "
After a pause, for fear of being questioned by the other party, Chu Ning quickly answered:
"I still don't know what the use of this spiritual fruit is, so I want to take it back and study it more."
"That's it." Gu Xiaoqing looked suddenly surprised.
Chu Ning thought about it at this time, but did not pick up the small bag of spirit stones. Instead, she said to Gu Xiaoqing:
"Senior Sister Gu, I will give that Jin Yuan Guo to Senior Sister. I also want to ask Senior Sister to do me a favor."
Facing Gu Xiaoqing's confused eyes, Chu Ning continued:
"The iron stem orchids growing in the spiritual field are the spiritual plants that grow golden orchids. There are two hundred plants in total. Could you please help me dig them out, senior sister?
Then I gave it to Deacon Lin Changqing and asked him to bring it back to me the next time I return to the clan. "
Jin Yuan Guo Chu Ning didn't care, he still had some seeds of Jin Yuan Guo in his hand.
It's just that after Chu Ning bought these iron stem orchids from Yunhai Pavilion before, he planted them all in the spiritual field.
And the golden orchid fruit seeds cannot be cultivated, and can only be hybridized with the pollen of two spiritual plants, so the iron stem orchid is crucial.
There are still 50 plants in Chu Ning's outer yard, but those 200 are obviously more important.
"Okay, when I return to Fangshi, I will go to the Lingtian to help my junior brother dig up those spiritual plants."
When Gu Xiaoqing heard what Chu Ning said, she immediately agreed, but she still handed the bag of spirit stones to Chu Ning.
"This is just a matter of effort on my part. This Golden Yuan Fruit was cultivated through hard work by my junior brother."
Chu Ning raised her brows slightly and continued:
"Senior sister, half of the spirit stones here are for my reward for inviting you, but the other half still have to be given to Deacon Lin."
"For Deacon Lin?" Gu Xiaoqing was slightly surprised.
Chu Ning immediately nodded slightly vaguely. Lin Changqing was still willing to help him and others do something if there was some benefit.
Gu Xiaoqing is a smart person, and she can tell everything at once.
The look he looked at Chu Ning was complicated.
I don't know if it's because Chu Ning actually knew about Lin Changqing's habit, or because Chu Ning listed her as the same person.
However, she didn't say anything more, but put the bag of spirit stones away again.
Seeing this, Chu Ning felt a little relieved.
He has made up his mind to obtain the next step of the Qingmu Changchun Technique after practicing it to perfection, and leave the sect in a short time.
At this time, I naturally don’t want to owe too many favors.
Being able to use spirit stones to ask Gu Xiaoqing for help saves a lot of trouble.
After chatting casually for a few more words, Chu Ning said goodbye and left.
Looking at Chu Ning's leaving figure, Gu Xiaoqing's eyes couldn't help but look a little more complicated.
But in the end, it turned into a gentle sigh, turned around and walked towards the inner room.
But he said that after Chu Ning left the alchemy hall, he went straight to his courtyard outside the outer gate.
Speaking of which, since this courtyard was assigned to him, he has come only a handful of times.
Naturally, he has no nostalgia for this yard.
But before he entered the spiritual realm, he deliberately planted the orchid he brought from Yanjifang here.
This thing is still very useful to him now, so Chu Ning will naturally not let it stay here.
After digging up all the orchids and leaving the yard, Chu Ning came to Lingfu Pavilion.
This courtyard was given to me by Lingfu Pavilion. Now that I can no longer live in it, I naturally have to return it.
Walking into Lingfu Pavilion, Chu Ning thought of the familiar senior brother Tan Zhang and couldn't help but feel a little sad.
In the spiritual realm, the two of them had joined forces to deal with the Yin Demon Sect's people.
However, during the subsequent burst of aura, Chu Ning never saw this senior brother appear again.
What surprised Chu Ning was that the deacon Liao Yunming was not in Lingfu Pavilion. After thinking about it, Chu Ning could only give up.
This yard was originally given to him by Liao Yunming, so he should return it to him face to face.
Returning to the inner gate, Chu Ning did not go back directly to his cave. Instead, he seemed to be wandering around the inner gate.
This is naturally to allow Ling Xiaobai to sense the situation of the entire protective formation and find a more suitable escape location.
After wandering like this for more than half an hour, Chu Ning returned to his cave again.
What surprised Chu Ning was that before he reached the cave talisman, he saw two figures outside his cave in the distance.
His gaze was far beyond that of ordinary people, and he recognized them from a distance as He Changyou and Liao Yunming.
He quickly quickened his pace and stepped forward to salute.
"I've met two martial uncles."
"You're welcome, nephew Chu." The two deacons looked very polite at this moment.
Liao Yunming said with a smile:
“We heard that our nephew was accepted into the inner sect and became the sect master’s registered disciple.
I have long wanted to come and congratulate you, but the last time I came, my nephew was practicing in seclusion.
I heard that you were summoned today and said that you have been released from the customs. If not, we will come together. "
"Thank you two uncles for your concern." Chu Ning said her words of thanks and invited the two of them into the cave.
As soon as they entered the cave, the two of them looked shocked.
He Changyou even said directly:
"Master Nephew, this cave is a treasure."
Liao Yunming also laughed and said: "Yes, Lao He, it's much better than the two of us."
Chu Ning was naturally polite.
The two deacons then couldn't help but congratulate each other, but there really was nothing special. They chatted for a while before leaving.
Chu Ning took the opportunity to return the courtyard prohibition token of Lingfu Pavilion at the outer gate to Liao Yunming.
After the two of them left, Chu Ning turned off the cave talisman restriction again, but couldn't help but shook his head slightly.
In the eyes of outsiders, he was accepted into the inner sect and was accepted as a registered disciple by Xin Wuya.
Then, the future will naturally be bright, and I am afraid that it is precisely for this reason that the two deacons behaved so politely.
After all, there has been a rumor in the sect that monks who have obtained the spiritual energy have a very high success rate in foundation building.
However, Chu Ning’s family knew about his family affairs.
Regardless of the fact that he doesn't have the following skills yet, even if he does, he will never build a foundation here.
Instead of indulging in these false names and vanity, the most important thing for him is to step up his practice and leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
At this moment, Chu Ning stopped thinking.
First, I took the orchid out of the storage bag and planted it.
After planting, looking at the slightly empty yard with only a few orchids, Chu Ning began to take out a few jade boxes from the storage bag.
Naturally, he doesn't know how to grow the Golden Orchid Fruit. One or two months is not enough for him to cultivate the Golden Orchid Fruit.
These orchids are planted here just to keep them alive so that they can be taken away later.
At this moment, Chu Ning took out some seedlings from the jade box.
Most of them were picked by Chu Ning from the spiritual realm before. Although they continue to be placed in the jade box, there should be no big problem.
But naturally there is a place to plant it here, and the spiritual energy is very rich, so Chu Ning can naturally try to plant it.
By the way, I would also like to see if there are any elixirs or plants that are very effective in using the Aoki Chunhua Technique.
As for the seedlings of the Flame Tree Twin Fruit, Chu Ning did not plant them.
This kind of spiritual fruit has certain requirements for the planting environment, and it needs to be in a place with strong fire-attribute spiritual energy.
Unless I take out the Fire Spirit Crystal and place it in the medicine garden, and use the Spirit Locking Array to seal it, otherwise the planting here will not be able to meet the requirements.
Naturally, Chu Ning doesn't know how to use the Soul Locking Array, and he doesn't plan to plant such a good thing now.
After planting all the spiritual plants, Chu Ning began to prepare for cultivation.
During this period of time, because there was spiritual energy in his body that needed to be refined, Chu Ning did not take spiritual fruits and elixirs, nor did he practice with the Qingmu Chunhua Technique.
At this moment, he wanted to give it a try.
Let’s see how this body, which has been cleansed and reshaped by the aura of aura, will help in cultivation.
Chu Ning performed the Qingmu Chunhua technique, and then he came to the practice room and started practicing cross-legged.
Half an hour later, Chu Ning came out of the practice room with a look of surprise on his face.
Then, he went directly to the iron stem orchid and continued to practice the Qingmu Changchun technique.
Suddenly, a trace of spiritual energy overflowed from the iron stem orchid, and together with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the air, it penetrated into Chu Ning's body.
In this way, another hour passed.
Chu Ning stood up after finishing the exercise with a smile on his face.
[Qingmu Changchun Gong (low-grade yellow), third level (1742/2100)]
[Jiuyan Refining Body Art, Volume 1, Unbroken Muscles 818/1500]
[Spirit Refining Technique, Second Level 71/2000]
"1 point of proficiency, I just practiced directly, and with the help of Qingmu Chunhua Technique, I can actually directly improve my proficiency by 1 point.
This is the ninth level of Qi Refining!"
Chu Ning's eyes were indeed extremely surprised. In terms of the speed of absorbing spiritual energy, he might have improved by 50% compared to before!
You know, he has a Yinmu spiritual body, and the speed of absorbing spiritual energy is fast.
The current speed of absorbing spiritual energy is really terrifying!
"This spiritual energy is so magical, could it really strengthen my spiritual roots?"
Chu Ning was surprised and happy at this moment.
With his current speed of absorbing spiritual energy, if he is equipped with elixirs and spiritual stones, it is not difficult to increase Qingmu Changchun Gong by 4 or 5 points a day.
Even if he gave up some of the cultivation of the soul-refining technique and the Nine-evolution Body-refining Technique, it would be possible to speed up.
After all, he now has a lot more resources.
In this way, perhaps in two months, he can fully cultivate the third level of Qingmu Changchun Gong.
This speed is even faster than his previous breakthroughs.
Of course, Chu Ning also knew that this was because the spiritual energy had improved his proficiency by a large number of times.
After a short rest, Chu Ning re-entered the training room. He now has a lot of resources in his hands, and now he has to see what effect these resources have when used.
Chu Ning first took out a golden orchid fruit and ate it.
Then, he began to practice the Nine-evolution Body-refining Technique and Qingmu Changchun Gong.
"The continuous tendons have increased by 2 points, but the Qingmu Changchun Gong has not increased by 1 point."
Chu Ning quickly judged the effect of the golden orchid fruit at this moment.
The effect on body refining remains the same, but the effect on Qi refining has weakened as he broke through to the ninth level of Qi refining.
Previously, one Jinlan fruit could increase the physical training by 2 points and the Qi training by 1 point.
Chu Ning was not too surprised, after all, the main purpose of the Jinlan fruit was to train the body.
After practicing the spirit training technique for a while, Chu Ning took out the Muyuan Pill he had just received from Qianji Pavilion.
Since the deacon of Qianji Pavilion said that the effect of the Muyuan Pill was twice as good as the Lingyuan Pill, Chu Ning wanted to see if it was true.
After taking a Muyuan Pill, Chu Ning practiced Qingmu Changchun Gong again.
This time, Chu Ning spent some time to refine all the medicinal power of the Muyuan Pill.
[Qingmu Changchun Gong (lower yellow grade), third level (1745/2100)]
When Chu Ning focused on the proficiency in his mind again.
He unexpectedly found that the proficiency of the third level of Qingmu Changchun Gong had increased by 3 points!
Of course, this was also due to the effect of taking the Jinlan fruit just now.
But it also means that after taking and refining this Mu Yuan Dan, you can improve your proficiency by more than 2 points.
"5 points a day is not a problem at all. If you take two Mu Yuan Dan a day, or use medium-grade spirit stones to practice, you can even improve by more than 6 points!"
Chu Ning made a decision in his heart, but taking two Mu Yuan Dan a day was a bit exaggerated, and it was not appropriate to go to the Qianji Pavilion to collect it too frequently.
But you can practice with Ling Yuan Dan or medium-grade spirit stones.
Chu Ning didn't have many medium-grade spirit stones. He used some before, and harvested some, about 80 pieces.
But at this time, he didn't have anything to give up.
When can you earn spirit stones, danger can also come at any time.
Thinking through this, Chu Ning had a very clear understanding of his next practice plan.
In the following time, Chu Ning continued to plant and practice.
As an inner disciple, he was still extremely low-key, so no one in the sect could remember him soon.
Especially in the following time, some things happened in the sect again.
For example, the hundreds of Qi Refining disciples gradually recovered and returned to the various halls, and the news in the Spiritual Domain was also widely spread.
For example, it was said that there was an inner disciple who had obtained the spiritual energy three years ago and was facing the foundation building, and the sect master Xin Wuya actually protected him personally.
Originally, it was not known to outsiders at this time, but later, the disciple who successfully built the foundation wanted to show off, and it was unknowingly spread out.
It is said that this made the sect master Xin Wuya furious and put him in confinement.
For example, because too many disciples were lost in the Spiritual Domain.
Especially the latter batch of disciples who concentrated on practicing many wood attribute exercises, caused problems in the operation of many spiritual fields and markets in the sect.
Qingxi Sect urgently recruited a group of disciples for this, and drew a lot of disciples with wood attribute exercises from major families to the sect.
For a time, it also caused a lot of discussion inside and outside the sect.
During this period, Chu Ning would still take Ling Xiaobai out for a walk every day.
He would even take the initiative to go to Xin Wuya to inform him of his progress in cultivation as Xin Wuya had instructed him to do.
He looked like he wanted to establish a relationship with this sect master.
However, after learning that Chu Ning was cultivating in seclusion, Sect Master Xin did not pay much attention except for a few compliments.
Especially after Chu Ning refined the spiritual energy, his cultivation level improved a little, but it was not the kind of improvement that could be seen with the naked eye.
This also made Xin Wuya realize that Chu Ning was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining and was still far from building a foundation.
So much so that when Chu Ning went there most recently, this cheap sect master did not let him enter the cave.
This situation of reduced attention naturally made Chu Ning very happy.
During this period, Chu Ning also went to the library to explore the way.
When he learned that there was an order in the sect to prevent him from not focusing on his cultivation, he was only allowed to choose one spell.
Naturally, Chu Ning did not use this opportunity easily.
However, the art of making talismans did not seem to have too many restrictions on him.
Chu Ning decisively asked for a talisman book, which was the Xuanfu Baolu that Liao Yunming had mentioned to him before.
It is said that this book is the most comprehensive talisman book in Qingxi Sect. In addition to a large number of primary and high-quality talismans, there are also many methods for making intermediate talismans.
In addition, Chu Ning also found a large book on the geography of the Xiuxian world from this library.
And all of this is naturally a preparation for the next escape.
In the blink of an eye, another fifty days have passed.
On this day, Chu Ning once again lit up the ban on closed-door cultivation outside his cave.
