Unknowingly, more than a month passed quietly.
Since Qin Lingyu ran away from him, Jun Xiaomo has never seen him again. However, if you think about it carefully, that's normal. With Qin Lingyu's arrogant and conceited character, even if he didn't need the two fifth-grade Guiyuan Pills, he wouldn't be willing to take the initiative to talk to Jun Xiaomo. Jun Xiaomo didn't mind at all. For her, it was best for Qin Lingyu to go somewhere cool and not hang around in front of her.
In addition, there is another thing that makes Jun Xiaomo very happy, that is, she can vaguely feel that she is about to break through the first level of Qi training and reach the second level of Qi training.
In the past, Jun Xiaomo would not have taken this small upgrade seriously - from the first level of Qi training to the second level of Qi training, this is not a difficult task for people with good talent, but Jun Xiao Ever since Mo practiced the "Nine-turn Spiritual Demon Refining Technique", it has been difficult to improve the conversion efficiency between true energy and spiritual energy every time, let alone improve his own cultivation level.
Therefore, Jun Xiaomo felt that it was an unexpected surprise to be able to advance to the second level of Qi training in more than two months. She originally thought that based on the speed at which Zhenqi and spiritual energy were transforming into each other, it would take her the first half of a year to hope to reach the second level of Qi training.
Jun Xiaomo tried to create a fire magic formula, and a ball of fire suddenly rose in her palm, bringing with it scorching warmth.
The flame was not big, but it kept dancing steadily above Jun Xiaomo's palm. If Jun Xiaomo circulated the method of converting the true energy into spiritual energy in her heart, there would be a steady stream of spiritual energy for her little spell to use.
Jun Xiaomo has a fire spirit root, so he will be more comfortable using fire spells. Because her level is still very low, when she uses fire spells, they are not very powerful. But when her level rises to the Nascent Soul stage or above, even this most basic fire spell can produce astonishing power. .
There was not much Qi left in Jun Xiaomo's body. When the flames gradually extinguished, the Qi in her body was almost exhausted.
"It's still not good. It's not as efficient as when fighting." Jun Xiaomo puffed up his cheeks in distress.
During the Qi training stage, Jun Xiaomo needs to continuously cycle between true energy and spiritual energy, that is, absorb the spiritual energy or demonic energy from the outside world, convert it into true energy through the operation of magic formula, and then convert the true energy into spiritual energy or demonic energy. , to form a "circulation". This cycle is similar to breathing in and out during traditional cultivation, and in the process of this "cycle", Jun Xiaomo's meridians and Dantian can be washed and transformed. When quantitative changes cause qualitative changes, she can break through the barriers of level and reach the next level. A level of Qi training.
However, the biggest difference between this "circulation" and the traditional breathing method is that it cannot be completed by meditation and enlightenment. It requires practice to improve the speed and efficiency of the cycle. This is also Jun Xiaomo's biggest headache.
Converting true energy into spiritual energy, and then using it to knead spells and make spiritual talismans, can also be regarded as a kind of "practice", but the efficiency is still far less than that of fighting. The reason why Jun Xiaomo was able to touch the edge of the second level of Qi training in more than a month was undoubtedly related to the fact that she would specially run the circulation formula in her mind when practicing sword moves with Ye Xiuwen.
If Ye Xiuwen can stay in the sect forever, then Jun Xiaomo might be able to reach the fourth level of Qi training in a year. Unfortunately, Ye Xiuwen will leave the sect soon, and there will be no one to fight against him. Under the circumstances, Jun Xiaomo felt that level 4 of Qi training was really far away.
You know, the further you go, the harder it is to level up. Going from level one to level two is just an appetizer. If it takes a practitioner two months to go from the first level of Qi training to the second level of Qi training, then under the same cultivation conditions, it will take four months for a practitioner to go from the second level to the third level of Qi training. It takes six months to go from Qi training level three to Qi training level four...and so on.
Of course, if the cultivation conditions and methods are adjusted, the time required will also change.
Jun Xiaomo felt that with the current speed of cultivation, she felt that she was too slow. It was still unknown whether she would be able to reach the ninth level of Qi training in three years. Once Ye Xiuwen left the sect, she would be further away from this goal. .
"Oh, it's so sad. Why did it happen that Senior Brother Ye was out traveling in the sect?" Jun Xiaomo felt that he was really a "tragedy" with capital letters.
It was impossible for her to stop Ye Xiuwen from traveling outside the sect, because the experience of this travel was a very important foundation for Ye Xiuwen to enter the foundation building stage. Therefore, the only thing she could do was to find a way to follow Ye Xiuwen out.
As a result, no matter how hard she tried, Ye Xiuwen refused. Not to mention Liu Qingmei, as soon as she heard that her daughter had the idea of following her husband's first disciple to travel outside the sect, she immediately jumped into the crime. She stared at her daughter with beautiful eyes and said, "No! With your current cultivation level, do you want to Do you want to go out and take pictures that will make people crazy?"
"Mom~ No way, Senior Brother Ye will take care of me, and I also have many life-saving magic weapons~" Jun Xiaomo tried to persuade Liu Qingmei.
"Then you are holding back your Senior Brother Ye! Moreover, do you think it is easy to travel outside the sect? Although your Senior Brother Ye has reached the peak of the twelfth level of Qi training, you are not as good as those outside the sect who are above the foundation building stage. There are countless cultivators, and Xiu Wen will not have so much time to take care of you." Liu Qingmei felt that her daughter was really whimsical and naive.
"But I can't improve my cultivation level just by meditating~" Jun Xiaomo had no choice but to speak bluntly, his little face wrinkled into a bitter melon shape, he held Liu Qingmei's arm and said, "Mom, I can only practice with Senior Brother Ye. Only when I use the sword can my cultivation speed be accelerated. If Senior Brother Ye travels far away, I will be far away from the ninth level of Qi training... "
"Nonsense, if that's the case, how did you reach the eighth level of Qi training before? Xiaomo, be good, mother knows that you want to become stronger quickly, but there is no shortcut on the road to becoming stronger. You have to be down-to-earth, understand? ? Just meditate and practice in the sect obediently, and don't cause any trouble to your senior brother Ye." Liu Qingmei touched Jun Xiaomo's head and said in a gentle tone.
She knew her daughter's determination to become stronger, but she disapproved of her daughter's use of dangerous methods to increase her cultivation speed. Moreover, my daughter’s talent is not low. If she meditates and practices well, it will not be difficult to reach the twelfth level of Qi training before the age of forty-five. Although she misses the best foundation-building period, she can extend her life and avoid the ordinary people’s aging, illness and death. The link is enough.
Alas, with her daughter's cultivation speed, it would be more than enough to reach the twelfth level of Qi training before the age of thirty... Liu Qingmei thought with regret in her heart, feeling a little pain.
Seeing the sad look on Liu Qingmei's eyebrows, Jun Xiaomo couldn't bear to mention this matter anymore.
She knew that the decline in her cultivation was a wound in Liu Qingmei's heart. They said, "The wound is on the son's body, but the pain is on the mother's heart." Liu Qingmei was in such a state now. She is worried that her daughter's cultivation will never improve, she is also worried that her daughter will be bullied by others, and she is even more worried that she and her husband will not be able to protect her daughter for the rest of her life.
The world of cultivation is far more dangerous than it appears on the surface. Although both Liu Qingmei and Jun Linxuan have broken through the Nascent Soul stage and have greatly extended their lifespans, in the world of cultivation with surging undercurrents, they may fall one day. By then , the only thing she couldn't let go of was her only daughter.
Her mother's love and care made Jun Xiaomo feel warm in her heart, and she became more determined to work hard to become stronger. She wanted Liu Qingmei to know that not only could her parents protect her, but she could also provide a safe umbrella for her loved ones and protect everyone she cared about under her wings.
Jun Xiaomo sent away her worried mother, and after returning to her room, she thought about it all night.
Although he understood Ye Xiuwen and Liu Qingmei's concerns, Jun Xiaomo still decided to follow Ye Xiuwen on his sect travels.
Since neither his mother nor his senior brother agreed to let him go out, he could only use some "extraordinary means", Jun Xiaomo thought as he squinted his eyes, a naughty smile flashed in his smart eyes.
The day for Ye Xiuwen to leave the sect for traveling finally arrived. On this day, Ye Xiuwen, Qin Lingyu and others were summoned to the sect's lobby, and He Zhang, the sect leader, explained the matter of the outing.
This time, there are three people in the sect who have reached the peak of Qi training level 12 and need to travel, Ye Xiuwen, Qin Lingyu and Ke Xinwen. Except Ke Xinwen, who reached the twelfth level of Qi training two years ago. Except for the disciples who are at the peak but have never been able to build a foundation, Ye Xiuwen and Qin Lingyu are both people who happened to reach the peak of the twelfth level of Qi training this year.
He Zhang said some words, and then the three disciples began to choose the tasks that needed to be completed.
In addition to accumulating experience and helping to build foundations, traveling abroad also has the advantage of getting corresponding rewards by completing tasks. This reward will be very generous, not only will there be a large number of high-grade elixirs, but also Depending on the difficulty of the task, you will receive corresponding weapon rewards.
You know, if you can get a handy weapon, it is like having an extra helper for the cultivator, which can greatly increase the chance of winning during the fight. Especially when the intermediate sect competition is about to begin, the power of having weapons and fighting with bare hands are not on the same level.
There are three types of task difficulty: low-level, intermediate, and high-level. Generally speaking, low-level tasks are chosen by ordinary disciples, while disciples who have reached the peak of level 12 Qi training often choose tasks above the intermediate level.
Ye Xiuwen and Qin Lingyu both chose high-level tasks without hesitation, but Ke Xinwen gritted his teeth and chose high-level tasks after seeing the choices of the other two people.
He chose high-level tasks in the past two years, but as a result, the tasks were not completed, not to mention that he had not yet reached the foundation building period.
If there were no Ye Xiuwen and Qin Lingyu this year, maybe Ke Xinwen would choose an intermediate task. After all, it would be embarrassing to always fail to complete the task. But now that Ye Xiuwen and Qin Lingyu were comparing each other, under the gaze of other disciples, he was too embarrassed to choose the intermediate task, so he had to choose the high-level task together. He could only silently hope that this time the high-level task would be easier.
In order to prevent fellow disciples from killing each other due to tasks, sects usually prepare several tasks of the same level, so that they can not interfere with each other and only need to concentrate on completing their own tasks.
In order to show fairness, once the disciples of the sect choose tasks of the same level, they will allocate the pre-set tasks by drawing lots. Ye Xiuwen took out a straw from the lottery box with the words "Go to the Mysterious Forest to collect ten snake-shaped fruits."
The Mysterious Forest is not far from the Xuyang Sect. If you walk quickly, you can get there in more than three months. However, the snake-shaped fruit is difficult to collect. Its growth areas are scattered, usually within a few hundred miles. A clump of serpentine vegetation will only bear one fruit at a time. Moreover, small spiritual beasts often appear around the snake-shaped fruit. Although their attack power is not strong, they pounce on them in waves. Coupled with the attack power of the snake-shaped fruit vegetation itself, it is enough to make a practitioner A practitioner with Qi level 12 was seriously injured.
It is already so difficult to collect one, let alone ten, no wonder it is considered an "advanced task".
Ye Xiuwen calmly put away the raft, and Ke Xinwen's voice rang in his ears: "I didn't expect that Junior Brother Ye is also in the Blind Forest. It seems that the three of us are quite destined and can go together."
Ye Xiuwen looked in Ke Xinwen's direction and found Qin Lingyu standing next to him, looking at him with a dull expression.
It seems that this time, the three disciples in the sect who are at the twelfth level of Qi training are all going to the Mysterious Forest to do a mission.
Ye Xiuwen remembered something that Jun Xiaomo reminded him - be careful of the two masters and disciples, He Zhang and Qin Lingyu.
Is this a coincidence... or is it man-made
