Chapter 27: 27 The Four Arts of Cultivation
27 The Four Arts of CultivationThis trip to the Sutra Repository was a huge gain. The ways of cultivating immortals are truly complicated.
Luo Mingyi went to the Sutra Repository for two purposes.
First, I want to quickly understand the world of immortal cultivation.
The second reason is to earn spirit stones.
Through six books on common knowledge about the world of immortal cultivation, Luo Mingyi had a preliminary understanding of the world of immortal cultivation.
He also became more clear in his mind that the Lingxu space in his body was at least an immortal weapon.
As soon as it appears in the world, it will attract crazy snatching from all kinds of powerful people. So Luo Mingyi decided to be more careful in the future and not let anyone discover the existence of the space.
Luo Mingyi then finished reading the three books he had brought back in the space. In her mind, she already had a general understanding of the entire Xuantian Continent.
She thought about it for a moment and had a rough plan in mind.
In the world of cultivating immortals, earning spirit stones is inseparable from skills. Learning a skill well is very popular here.
For example, in the world of cultivating immortals, there is a term called the Four Arts of Cultivation, which refers to "elixir, talisman, formation, and instrument."
Dan means refining elixirs, Fu means drawing talismans, Zhen means refining formations, and Qi means refining magical instruments.
People who have learned these four skills are respectively called alchemists, talisman masters, formation masters and weapon refiners.
In addition to these four arts of cultivation, there are some less popular ones. For example, puppeteer, beastmaster, etc.
In addition to these sources of earning spirit stones, there are also some people who specialize in killing people and stealing treasures.
But Luo Mingyi disdains to do such things. How is doing this different from practicing magic?
But if someone sets his sights on her, she will naturally not be merciful.
Because of the existence of space, Luo Mingyi naturally tends to be an alchemist. But in her heart, she also had a strong interest in making talismans.
Just wanting to become an alchemist is extremely difficult.
The first problem is the elixir.
Currently, spiritual medicines are in short supply in the entire world of immortal cultivation, including some low-level spiritual herbs with high age. But Luo Mingyi has space, so as long as there are seeds, spiritual medicine will not be a problem.
The second difficulty is that if you want to learn alchemy, you need a master to teach you.
She is currently just an outer disciple with low qualifications. Where can she find a master to teach her the art of alchemy?
The third difficulty is cultivation.
If one wants to make pills, one must at least reach the third level of Qi Chaining to have enough spiritual power to support the entire process of making pills.
After reaching the third level of Qi Linking, the spiritual consciousness will be greatly improved, and it will also be better able to control spiritual medicine and fire.
Before his cultivation reaches the third level of Chain Qi, Luo Mingyi cannot just do nothing.
She planned to learn how to make talismans while planting spiritual herbs in the space, and then sell them in exchange for spiritual stones.
In addition, she also needs to prepare for her body training which has been stagnant for a long time. The last test of the Ladder to Heaven once again verified the importance of body training.
If she had not practiced body training before, she would have been demoted to a menial disciple like those five people, and had to greet others with a smile.
During the medicine identification class this time, Luo Mingyi was pleasantly surprised to find that the other two medicinal herbs that he had never found in Dongming Town before were actually just low-level spiritual herbs that are very common in the world of immortal cultivation.
Now, a problem arises.
How to obtain elixir seeds, talisman-making techniques, and alchemy techniques?
Luo Mingyi, who was thinking hard, glanced inadvertently and saw the "Sect Disciple Handbook" at hand.
She slapped her thigh excitedly. Oh no, how could she have forgotten that there was a small market in the sect, and there was also a map of the sect in this book.
It is common knowledge in the world of immortal cultivation that the market town is a huge communication place for immortal cultivators.
Especially those within the sect, which are equivalent to a free disciple trading club.
Luo Mingyi took out the map and looked at it carefully.
Hey, it seems that this sect market is not far from Xijinyuan. I will go check it out tomorrow!
Luo Mingyi continued repairing the chain until dawn the next day. Ever since breaking through to the first level of chain qi, Luo Mingyi discovered that the more he practiced chain qi, the more energetic he became.
Even if I repair the chain all night, I won't feel sleepy the next day. Therefore, Luo Mingyi stayed in the space and repaired the chain until the next day.
When the time came, Luo Mingyi went to wash herself and then went out.
Zhou Xiaoying had been waiting for her for a long time. When she saw her come out, she greeted her with a smile.
"Third sister, let's go have breakfast. Today's breakfast includes steamed buns stuffed with milk and sand. They are delicious!"
"good!"
While eating, Luo Mingyi told Zhou Xiaoying that one could read books for free in the Sutra Library. After eating, Zhou Xiaoying couldn't wait to go to the Sutra Library.
Luo Mingyi walked in the direction of the market town on the map.
An hour later, Luo Mingyi looked at the map in his hand, feeling like crying but without tears.
The sect is too unreliable. Even the basic distance units are not marked. Just looking at the map, Luo Mingyi thought it was only an hour's distance.
However, she didn't expect that after walking for a full hour, she only completed one tenth of the distance.
"Hey, Junior Sister, I'll give you a low-grade Qi Gathering Pill to cover your round trip to the market. Do you want to sit down?"
Luo Mingyi looked back and saw a thin man standing not far behind her, grinning at her.
Luo Mingyi looked at him warily. Where did this guy come from? Also, how did he know that she was going to the market?
As soon as Wang Xiaohu saw the expression of the little girl in front of him, he knew what she was thinking.
"Junior sister, please don't think too much. I am a good person. It's just that it's hard to earn spiritual stones nowadays, so I thought of taking you new disciples to the market to earn some medicinal pills to eat."
Luo Mingyi understood the meaning of his words. It seemed that many new disciples wanted to go to the market just like her.
Well, this is the only way. If she really walked, it would be tomorrow morning.
"Okay, but what if you abandon me and run away halfway?" Luo Mingyi looked doubtful.
"Well, I'll swear an oath, and you'll believe it!"
Luo Mingyi nodded. People who practice Taoism attach great importance to oaths. If they say something but do not do it, and they happen to make an oath, then when they advance in the future, they will be disturbed by inner demons.
"Okay, then it's a deal!"
Luo Mingyi took out a pill wrapped in a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Wang Xiaohu.
"Brother, how do we get there?"
"Haha, Junior Sister, let me show you my flying magic weapon!"
As Wang Xiaohu spoke, a green leaf-shaped magical weapon appeared in his hand. After inputting spiritual power, the green leaf grew larger in the wind. Finally, when it became large enough for three people to stand on, it automatically stopped.
"Junior sister, let's go. We will be there in an hour at most!"
It was not the first time for Luo Mingyi to fly to the sky, but he had always taken a flying boat before. Nothing could compare to the exciting feeling of standing on this green leaf magic weapon and flying against the wind!
"Um, senior brother, can you block the wind for me? It's too strong!" Luo Mingyi squinted his eyes and said in pain.
