Chapter 8 Guess
No matter what, it is always good to practice faster. Chu Ning stood up and soon saw Shang Zhaoxiang and Qiu Shunyi on the road in the distance.
After Chu Ning stood up, the two of them also saw him.
Shang Zhaoxiang called him from a distance, and Chu Ning quickly caught up.
"Is Lao Cao going to leave first?"
Shang Zhaoxiang asked with a smile as soon as Chu Ning came to his side.
Then, without waiting for Chu Ning to speak, he continued: "Lao Cao has a weird personality, and the new disciples who have followed him have suffered a lot over the years. It doesn't
matter if he doesn't teach some simple spells, and even time is squeezed.
So. You have to be mentally prepared. Basically, it will take more than a year for those who follow him to plant spiritual fields independently."
Chu Ning and Qiu Shunyi were both a little confused after hearing this. Qiu Shunyi spoke quickly and asked first:
"Not three Moon?"
Shang Zhaoxiang shook his head and said: "The prerequisite for three months is to be able to complete the refining of Qi into the body and enter the first level of Qi refining, and master several basic spells for planting spiritual plants.
For example, to help seeds grow You don’t have to master the art of clearing out weeds and impurities, and the art of rain to make spiritual plants hydrated. It doesn’t have to be very good or complete, but you can at least use one or two.
Of course, if you see the Aoki Chunhua Art, It would be best if you can master it."
"Whether it is the cultivation of exercises or spells, it takes time. If you follow Lao Cao, the training time will be at least half of others. The spells are not taught very much. You said that it can be done in three months? Is it done?"
When Shang Zhaoxiang said this, Qiu Shunyi's eyes suddenly filled with sympathy when he looked at Chu Ning.
Refining Qi into the body? Aoki Chunhua Technique? I've learned a little bit about it.
Chu Ning muttered secretly in his heart, and his expression showed a hint of nervousness at the right time, and asked:
"Why does it take more than a year for those who fail the assessment?"
Shang Zhaoxiang explained: "Because it will take another three months. , is the promotion assessment of each disciple in the sect. Disciples in each district will have some promotions, and the vacant spiritual fields will be allocated.
Since the spiritual fields have been allocated, naturally we can only wait for another year."
"In that sect. Just don't care?" Chu Ning asked with a bitter look on his face.
His expression is not just fake. He has no problem with the first level of Qi Refining and Qingmu Chunhua Technique, but there are other spells as well.
"Whatever!" Shang Zhaoxiang replied.
"Don't you guys go to the training room every half month to listen to the lectures? If the spells are not taught, you tell the disciples and they will teach you.
But the sect has no control over time."
Shang Zhao When Xiang said this, he paused and then added:
"I know you may ask, why doesn't the sect focus on letting you practice first and let you follow us."
Chu Ning and Qiu Shunyi nodded. Shang Zhaoxiang said at this time:
"This is mainly a matter of the past hundred years. In the past, people were taught and practiced in a centralized manner, and then they were arranged to each room after practicing for a few months. In the
past hundred years, especially in the past fifty or sixty years, there have been many miscellaneous matters within the sect. The number of serving disciples has dropped sharply, and many things in Baiyi Hall have to be done by new disciples.
For example, cultivating spiritual fields, if you don’t follow us to learn for two or three months, the sect will not dare to hand over the spiritual fields to you with confidence. kind."
After Chu Ning heard this, he asked thoughtfully: "Senior Brother Shang, why has the number of handymen disciples in the sect dropped sharply in recent decades? Is it because there are fewer people to recruit?"
"The sect has been recruiting fewer people." It only said that there were sect mission arrangements, but there was no accurate explanation." When Shang Zhaoxiang said this, he hesitated for a moment and continued:
"There is also a theory that is circulated privately among the handyman disciples.
I heard that it is The sect discovered a treasure land elsewhere, which has better spiritual energy than the Qingxi Mountains where we are now. Many disciples have been selected to open up wasteland there.
At first, only those at the eighth or ninth level of Qi refining were selected. Now I heard that Those who are on the seventh level of Qi Refining, and even those on the sixth level of Qi Refining also have a chance."
Shang Zhaoxiang's words were a bit more envious, and he was obviously very regretful that he was not selected.
"There are such good things!" Qiu Shunyi's eyes lit up when he heard it. Chu Ning also showed interest at the right time, but he was subconsciously wary. Why did he hear that this was unusual?
"When you don't have a rough idea of the path behind it, you should keep a low profile. Even if you reach the sixth or seventh level of Qi Refining, don't let others discover it, so as not to be selected."
Chu Ning warned herself in her heart.
At this moment, Shang Zhaoxiang's voice came again.
"Besides, not everyone is like Lao Cao. Most of us are still willing to guide new disciples."
Shang Zhaoxiang said this, smiled at Chu Ning and said,
"I want to teach Shunyi anyway . , if you have any questions about practicing the exercises, you can ask me. After you refine the Qi into your body, you can also come to me to learn spells and the like." After
hearing this, Chu Ning's face suddenly showed a look of gratitude, " Thank you, Senior Brother Shang!"
Shang Zhaoxiang then continued: "Don't worry too much. I am different from Lao Cao. He is alone in his family, but I have a large family outside the clan. No matter how
high-ranking I am, I I can't get along with you, so I just want to get closer to you as a new disciple, which can be regarded as a good relationship for my family."
As soon as these words came out, Chu Ning and Qiu Shunyi understood the motivation of this warm-hearted senior brother, and they Thank you again and again.
After chatting all the way back to the courtyard, Chu Ning said goodbye to the two of them and returned to the courtyard.
Chu Ning made a fire to cook, and did some chores. In the afternoon, Cao Dongxin drove him to the field again, saying that he wanted to keep an eye on insects and birds.
Chu Ning was happy to go, since he could practice in the fields.
At first Chu Ning thought it was because the spiritual energy in the field was stronger, but after he felt it carefully this time, he found that it was not.
On the contrary, the aura in the courtyard where I and others lived was even stronger than in this field.
But I think so, after all, where I live is closer to the mountains.
Chu Ning continued to choose a place to practice in the morning. What surprised Chu Ning was that the practice this time was not as fast as in the morning.
He meditated and practiced longer, but his proficiency only increased by 1 point.
I practiced in my room at night and increased by 1 point.
Early the next morning, Chu Ning got up early and practiced Jiuyin's physical training technique, and then started making breakfast.
I don’t know if he was mocked by Shang Zhaoxiang the day before yesterday.
Still because Chu Ning got up early and cooked, Cao Dongxin went out a little late today, almost behind the scenes with Shang Zhaoxiang next door.
Several people came to the field, and Cao Dongxin first looked at the growth of Lingmi.
At this time, he did not avoid Chu Ning, but rather showed off and said:
"I used the Qingmu Chunhua Technique on these yesterday. In one day, I can see that the growth is different from the others. Today I will do the other rice By using it, a handful of moons can be used to cover the whole area, and the harvest and quality of this spiritual rice will be improved."
As he spoke, Cao Dongxin led Chu Ning forward.
When he came to a corner, he stopped and murmured to himself with some confusion:
"Well, what's going on in this area? I remember that the Aoki Chunhua Technique was also used here yesterday. How is this area growing? Nothing has changed?"
Chu Ning, who was following behind, heard this and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The location of this area is exactly where he chose to practice yesterday.
"Is it possible that my practice has sucked away the spiritual energy gathered by the other party's Qingmu Chunhua Technique?"
A trace of speculation flashed in Chu Ning's heart.
