Then Li Yan remembered the storage bag containing the three spirit stones, and asked respectfully.
"Seventh Senior Brother, what is this storage bag and how do you use it?"
Hearing this, Lin Daqiao glanced at Li Yan, stretched out his long arm, picked up Li Yan's storage bag from the table, pointed at it and said.
"Storage bags are a commonly used storage tool in the world of immortal cultivation, and can only be made by a master refiner who is proficient in space-related tools.
It is said that there are not many weapon-refining masters on this continent. Even in the four major sects, there are only three or four such weapon-refining masters in each sect.
The lowest level of storage equipment must be magic tools. Spiritual tools and spiritual treasures cannot meet the storage requirements. Storage equipment is also divided into low, medium and high levels.
The biggest difference between them is the size of the storage space inside. The storage bag we use is the lowest level, with a space of only about one to two meters, which cannot hold large items.
At the same time, no living creatures can be placed in it, because there is no air in the refining space, and living creatures placed in it will suffocate to death.
Of course, there are also storage tools or magic weapons in other shapes. Some are shaped like rings, some are shaped like belts, and some are shaped like bracelets. The shapes are strange and varied.
However, those storage devices not only require the refiner to have more advanced refining skills, but also the refining materials of that level are extremely difficult to find, unlike the raw materials of storage bags which are relatively easy to find.
The interior of the storage device is an independent space, which is different from the space we are in. Holding it is like carrying a space with you when you move around. "
Lin Daqiao spoke slowly. He looked at Li Yan who seemed to be listening attentively and felt quite pleased. He continued speaking.
"A low-level storage bag itself has no protective function, which means that any cultivator who gets it can take the things inside, so you must be careful and make sure to keep your storage bag safe.
However, this type of low-level storage bag also has an advantage, that is, its internal space is relatively close to the space we are in, and it is a low-level, narrow space crack.
This kind of small spatial crack can basically no longer be split. Affected by the suction of the surrounding large space, it is relatively stable with respect to the current spatial distance channel. When the storage bag is destroyed, the things inside can be easily sucked into the real space and will not flow into the turbulence of other spaces.
If it is a mid-to-high-level storage magic weapon, it will be a relatively independent extraterritorial space. Although the space is large, it is too far away from here, so rare materials need to be refined before a passage can be established.
The user can leave his or her own spiritual mark on it and set restrictions. If it is obtained by others, the user will be in trouble unless the spiritual mark can be safely removed.
Otherwise, when the storage magic weapon is forcibly opened, the passage will be destroyed and exploded, and the things inside will basically be damaged or drift into other spaces.
However, even the lowest-level storage bag is extremely precious. After all, it is a magical weapon. An average cultivator may not even have a decent spiritual weapon or treasure in his lifetime, let alone a magical weapon.
Even in a large sect like ours, not everyone can have a storage bag. Generally, only formal disciples have them. Those menial disciples, although they are also disciples, do not have them.
It seems that only the foundation-building cultivators in second-rate sects are equipped with them, and my original third-rate sect only had less than ten storage bags in the entire sect."
At this point, Lin Daqiao's face couldn't help but darken. He thought of how some of his uncles and aunts in his sect had practiced for a lifetime but were not treated as well as the outer disciples of the four major sects, and he felt a little sad.
That was the hometown where he was born, where he began his cultivation, and where his first master and fellow disciples were.
Li Yan had no idea what he was thinking. Even if he knew, he would not understand why a storage bag could make the Seventh Senior Brother, who had a lively personality, become like this in an instant. He just watched as the Seventh Senior Brother's tone became lower as he spoke, as if he had something on his mind.
But it’s not easy to ask, so I can only wait quietly.
Lin Daqiao paused, calmed herself down, and continued.
“Although the weapon refining masters in our four major sects can refine low-level storage bags very quickly, after all, there are too many people needed in the sect. Moreover, with their status, how can they refine such low-level magic tools all day long
Therefore, most of the storage bags we use are purchased from outside immortal cultivation families. Speaking of these immortal cultivation families, they are another type of immortal cultivators besides the sects.
They regard their families as "sects" and pass down the cultivation of immortals from generation to generation. There are many powerful immortal cultivation families among them, and they can even compete with powerful sects. Small immortal cultivation families are also dependent on the four major sects like those second- and third-rate sects.
The reason why the immortal cultivation families can be passed down from generation to generation is that they all have their own way of survival. Some are good at refining pills, some are good at refining weapons, and some are good at assassination, killing people for others...
Among them are some families that are good at making storage devices. They pass down the secret methods of making devices preserved by their ancestors from generation to generation and make a living from it.
The weapon refining masters of some families are even better than those of the four major sects, but these weapon refining families are often weak in fighting skills, so they need to rely on the four major sects for protection. "
After Lin Daqiao said this, she regained some of her spirit and pointed to the storage bag.
"Junior brother, the method of using this storage bag is also simple. When putting items in it, just use your spiritual consciousness to split into two parts. One part goes into the bag opening, and the other part locks the item you want to put in. The two parts of spiritual consciousness merge into one. Just think about the item entering the storage space, and that's it.
When taking it out, just put your spiritual consciousness into the bag to lock the object you want to take out, and when you withdraw your spiritual consciousness, just think about where it will appear. It's very simple, and it's a process of practice makes perfect."
Having said this, he glanced at Li Yan.
“I wonder if Junior Brother can release his spiritual consciousness now. Usually, spiritual consciousness must be cultivated to the third level of Qi Condensation before it can be released outside the body. However, there are two situations in which spiritual consciousness can be released in advance.
One type is people who are born with strong spiritual consciousness. After cultivating spiritual power, they can barely release spiritual consciousness.
Another method is to practice a technique that enhances spiritual consciousness, and it is also possible for the spiritual consciousness to leave the body before the third stage of Qi Condensation.
If you can't leave your body yet, I'll help you take out everything inside so you can use it. You're already at the second level of the Qi Condensation Stage, so I think you'll be able to use the storage bag soon." After saying that, he looked at Li Yan. He was curious about the power of the "Dismembered Poison Body". He had heard of the various uses of this physique, but the effects were different for everyone. He didn't know if this technique had the function of enhancing consciousness.
Li Yan reached out and scratched the back of his head.
"Seventh Senior Brother, I think I can project my spiritual consciousness outward!"
Ever since Li Yan learned about his cultivation level from Li Wuyi in the morning, he has not had the time to settle down and experience his own level. However, when he and Lin Daqiao were on the way here, he could not suppress his curiosity and secretly tried to release his spiritual consciousness.
He discovered that his spiritual consciousness could actually leave his body and was about three meters away from him. At that moment, he felt that every blade of grass, every bamboo, every insect, every leaf, every gust of wind, and every bit of fog in the direction he was exploring was within his reach. It was very magical.
This was also because Lin Daqiao's cultivation was not deep. In addition, Li Yan deliberately probed his spiritual sense in other directions and retracted it immediately, so Lin Daxiu did not notice that his spiritual sense had been probed.
If a Foundation Establishment expert like Li Wuyi were to know immediately if a spiritual consciousness of a lower level than his appeared nearby.
After listening to what Lin Daqiao said, Li Yan thought about it for a moment and decided to speak out.
The purpose is of course to make it convenient to use the storage bag, and the reason is what they call the "fragmented poisonous body". Anyway, no matter who suspects it, he can just push it here.
He now understood some things about the "Fractured Poisonous Body". Even the people in the sect had not figured out the ins and outs of this poisonous body, which meant that it was possible to cultivate it to produce any side effects.
Lin Daqiao was also stunned after hearing this. He had originally asked out of curiosity, but when Li Yan really confirmed it, he was a little surprised.
"Junior brother, are you telling the truth? Can our consciousness really leave the body now?" he asked anxiously.
Li Yan still underestimated the shock caused by a method that could enhance spiritual consciousness, and he greatly underestimated the consequences of the method.
It’s not that the techniques that can enhance spiritual consciousness in this world are useless, but they are very rare. Since ancient times, the techniques of this kind that have been passed down have almost been cut off.
A cultivator with a strong spiritual awareness can not only increase his cultivation speed several times, but also make his combat power far exceed that of his peers.
It is said that thousands of years ago, a foundation-building cultivator accidentally obtained a fragment of a secret method for cultivating spiritual consciousness, and he cultivated his spiritual consciousness according to this fragment.
The method of cultivating spiritual consciousness is generally very cruel, which is also an important reason why the inheritance of this type of skills is gradually disappearing. The simple method of cultivating spiritual consciousness is to constantly grind one's spiritual consciousness inch by inch.
It is just like taking your own soul and grinding it bit by bit in a giant mill. However, spiritual consciousness is ultimately a person's mental power. Any damage to it can make people feel miserable, let alone having to take it out and grind it.
In the end, the monks who could not bear this kind of torture and stimulation basically became stupid, foolish, dull and crazy.
But that foundation-building cultivator was also a man of great perseverance. He actually relied on an incomplete cultivation method, endured the torture like purgatory, and cultivated his spiritual consciousness to a level that was 30% higher than that of his peers.
Don't underestimate the effect of 30%. From then on, when he was in the middle stage of foundation building, he could fight against three or four cultivators of the same level without being defeated. He could also fight against ordinary cultivators in the late stage of foundation building, and even if he couldn't win the fight, he could escape without any injury.
You have to know that killing a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building in the late stage of foundation building is basically the same as crushing a stink bug, as long as the other party is not holding too powerful magical weapons. This shows how much benefit this set of exercises can bring to him.
When this foundation-building cultivator reached the late stage of foundation-building, he was already able to rival a false elixir cultivator, that is, a cultivator who had already stepped half a foot into the early stage of golden elixir. This kind of cultivator was basically invincible in the foundation-building stage.
There is no wall that is impenetrable. The fact that he had cultivated the incomplete version of his spiritual consciousness was finally known to others, and the immortal cultivators began to form teams to hunt him down, hoping to obtain the incomplete version of his spiritual consciousness.
However, several encirclement and suppression operations were fruitless, and he was able to escape successfully each time. This made him even more famous, but also brought him fatal disaster.
These things gradually reached the ears of several Jindan cultivators. They also became very interested in this incomplete copy and walked out of the cave to look for this person.
Finally, this person was stopped by two Jindan early stage cultivators. It is said that he actually managed to escape from them several times, which made the two Jindan cultivators very angry.
In the end, they had to use several great magical powers to capture this person, but afterwards the two Jindan said that they did not get the incomplete copy. When they used the soul-searching technique to search the memory of the cultivator in the late foundation-building stage, it was said that the cultivator's soul exploded as soon as the soul was searched.
No one knows whether this is true or not. Some say it is true, while others say that these two Jindan cultivators were afraid that they would be targeted by others again, and were even more afraid that the Yuanying ancestors would search their souls, so they deliberately spread the rumor.
Regardless of whether this story was true or not, not long after this incident, the two Jindans disappeared from the world of immortal cultivation and were never seen again.
It can be seen that the method of spiritual consciousness is powerful and tempting. Although Lin Daqiao asked this matter only because of a glimmer of hope in his heart, now Li Yan really admitted it, which made him a little unbelievable.
Li Yan thought he had an excuse, and since he wanted to use the storage bag after seeing it, he said it out.
However, after seeing Lin Daqiao like this, although Li Yan didn't know the reason, he immediately felt that he was rash. He was suddenly annoyed and wondered why he was so impatient.
Since that was the case, he had no choice but to nod. Seeing him nod in confirmation, Lin Daqiao sighed after a while and looked at Li Yan with envy.
He knew that even if he was at the Nascent Soul stage, it would be useless to know this, mainly because this "fragmented poisonous body" could not be found anywhere.
"Junior brother, try my method and see if you can put the small sword on the table into the storage bag."
