Lu Ping slowly collected his energy, and exhaled a mouthful of light red air. This was the poison of the Jingxue Pill. He threw the discarded spirit stone aside, feeling the power of the bloodline that was about to break through to the late stage of the seventh layer. excited.
In yesterday's contest with Li Cheng, Lu Ping saw a flaw in Li Cheng's 22nd move, counterattacked in one fell swoop, took the initiative, and attacked 8 times in a row. At the 30th move, he locked Li Cheng's spear. And he slashed at his wrist with a sword, forcing Li Cheng to abandon his gun and admit defeat.
Li Cheng, who was still in awe just now, was defeated in an instant. Not only the disciples who applauded Li Cheng at the beginning were dumbfounded, but also the disciples who ranked high and Liu Xianchang. His deputy was also very surprised. Several disciples with the same cultivation base as Lu Ping looked at Lu Ping with deep vigilance.
Lu Ping couldn't help smiling wryly, he seemed too pushy this time.
Originally, according to the past, Lu Ping just let Li Cheng suffer a little bit, seeing blood is not a big deal, but Lu Ping saw something on Liu Xianchang's face that Li Cheng didn't see when Li Cheng challenged him. , so there was no ruthlessness.
Sure enough, Liu Xianchang saw that the two sides were not injured, and the cutting-edge strength in the big competition would not be damaged, so he looked at Lu Ping with kindness. According to the past practice, after Liu Xianchang guided the morning exercise, he left Lu Ping alone to guide him.
Now even the first and second disciples showed envious expressions. Guidance alone, open a small stove! That is to say, several senior brothers got a chance once when their cultivation base broke through the eighth floor. When the senior senior brother and the second senior brother broke through the ninth floor, Liu Xianda was overjoyed and guided him again alone. The rest were only the fourth senior sister. With a thick friendship, just like the two seniors, I have had two opportunities for individual guidance.
After calming down, Lu Ping quietly thought about what Liu Xianchang explained to him.
The purpose of cultivation, in the eyes of most monks, is naturally to prolong life, or even reach the illusory realm of longevity. However, having a long lifespan does not mean that monks can live safely until the end of their lives. To protect monks from accidents in the pursuit of longevity, various spells emerge as the times require.
After long-term practice and development by monks successively, these techniques to protect longevity have been divided into four realms: law, technique, force, and mind.
Beginners learn all kinds of spells according to the requirements of the professors, and follow the cats and tigers, knowing what they are and not knowing why, which is called the "law" realm.
After that, practice spells diligently, practice makes perfect, erase the stereotypes, the chiseling spirit gradually disappears, and the opening and closing of the moves are suitable for one's body, which is called the "art" state. Liu Xianchang's cultivation during the hemolytic period has only reached the level of "skill" now.
After reaching the third level, the monks seek the principles of using spells. The spells are combined with the skills they have practiced, and they are the exterior and interior of each other. When casting spells, the monks can maximize the power of the skills they have cultivated through spells, even surpassing the spells themselves. the power that can be achieved. The monks who have reached this level follow the law with their words, as if they are the general trend, and they cannot compete with it, so it is called the "power" state.
As for the highest "artistic" state, even Liu Xianchang only heard his name and didn't know why.
Liu Xianchang not only informed Lu Ping of the four realms of magic, but also patiently explained to Lu Ping his cultivation experience of reaching the "magic" realm, and then answered some difficult problems in cultivation for Lu Ping, and then he gave up.
An hour later, Lu Ping returned to his room under the envious eyes of everyone, and it was like this for the next two days.
The days of concentrating on cultivation always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is the end of the month, the advanced assessment for the third-level disciples will start the next day, and three days later, the year-end competition for the second-level disciples will begin.
Lu Ping sold out all the talismans painted this month in the Bieyuanfang market as usual, and he weighed the bag containing the spirit stones with a satisfied smile on his face.
The assessment is just to check the cultivation level, three days is enough, but the big competition is different, and this time it is also the five-year promotion competition, not only the disciples mustered up their energy, but also want to be the first; the professors and elders, For their own benefit, they also participated in it openly and secretly. What's more, there are rumors that the True Spirit Sect will increase the rewards for the winners in this competition.
It is precisely because of these reasons that Lu Ping's talisman business has become more prosperous. Naturally, Lu Ping will not suffer. He immediately increased the price of talismans, but the supply is still in short supply.
Looking at the more than a dozen more spirit stones in his hand than usual, Lu Ping's heart became active again. After deducting the cultivation and other expenses, the remaining spirit stones can buy another magic weapon!
Another reason for this idea is that Lu Ping's cultivation has already reached the late stage of the seventh floor. This is also due to Liu Xianchang's extra guidance, and of course it is also related to Lu Ping's extravagant cultivation for more than three months.
As usual, Lu Ping made all the preparations needed for the next month's training in Fangshi, and bought five Rejuvenation Pills to restore spiritual power and five Rejuvenation Pills to heal injuries.
Lu Ping was about to walk towards Duobao Pavilion, when he suddenly heard a discussion coming from the front, he walked quickly a few steps, and saw more than a dozen people gathered together, discussing a lot.
Out of curiosity, Lu Ping stepped forward and saw that a third-level female disciple from another courtyard was selling a magic weapon.
This magic weapon is a bronze mirror with a mark of the True Spirit School engraved on the side of the bronze mirror, which is obviously produced by the True Spirit School, and this often means that the quality of the magic weapon is not too high even if it is not top-notch Difference.
Lu Ping stepped forward and asked, "Senior sister, how many spirit stones can I sell for this magic weapon?"
Hearing the words, the female disciple glanced at Lu Ping, and found that Lu Ping was wearing a mask in the square market, but couldn't see his true face. She couldn't help curling her lips, as if she didn't take Lu Ping's caution seriously, and said, "Fifty-five spirit stones!"
Most of the magical weapons used for defense are more expensive, but Lu Ping still thinks that the price should be suppressed, after all, this is not a fixed low-level magic weapon.
"It's too expensive. The magic weapon is only a school standard, so it's not very good. Besides, I'm afraid the senior sister has used this magic weapon for a long time, right? Forty spirit stones, how about it?"
The female monk glared at Lu Ping, and said: "Forty spirit stones, my girl might as well sell them directly to Duobao Pavilion. Fifty spirit stones, please be quicker, if you don't need them urgently, how can you sell them so cheaply? I have been saving them for a year. It is only in exchange for the contribution of the sect!"
Lu Ping smiled "hehe" and said, "Then let's add another five spirit stones, forty-five spirit stones, how about it?"
The female disciple hesitated for a moment and said, "Forty-eight yuan, no less, otherwise I will wait for others."
Lu Ping turned his head and saw a few people rushing here in the distance. Presumably, he heard that a senior sister was selling magic weapons in the square market, so they rushed over, and there were many second-level disciples among them. Lu Ping also saw the seventh party The six disciples of the team were also among them, so they said: "Deal!"
The female monk took Lu Ping's spirit stone, and said fiercely: "If it weren't for a medium-grade magic weapon that my senior sister valued, I was afraid that someone would buy it, and I was in a hurry to use the spirit stone, and it wouldn't be cheaper for you!" Without looking back, he used his agility and ran towards the Lingbao Pavilion in the center of the square.
Lu Ping put away the magic weapon, looked back at the several people who came behind him, hurriedly parted the crowd, and left Fangshi without looking back.
