Chapter 11： seasonal day

For Zhang Shiping, who has the three attributes of fire, earth, and wood, his aptitude is his greatest constraint, and time is his greatest enemy. It can also be said that time is the greatest enemy of all immortal cultivators.

With the help of the bronze lamp, the accumulation of Zhang Shiping's own mana is comparable to the cultivation speed of the monks of Tianlinggen, but there is a problem, that is, the bottleneck of each level of cultivation still exists.

The reason why Tianlinggen monks are so valued by the sect of cultivating immortals is because they have no bottleneck before Yuanying. A monk in the late stage of alchemy, and this monk has a high probability of breaking through to become the ancestor of the Nascent Soul stage.

Zhang Shiping's cultivation progressed rapidly, his mana in his dantian improved significantly, and he almost reached the sixth level of Qi training.

…

When the hour just arrived, Zhang Shiping was no longer meditating, he passed the corridor, the wooden boards on the corridor were covered with dust, and bamboo leaves were scattered in disorder.

He went out to the north, and the place he was going to was a small mountain. There was a mountain path with thousands of layers of stone steps, leading to the top of the mountain. Zhang Shiping landed at the foot of the mountain in front of a large bluestone that was seven to eight feet high and needed dozens of people to hug it.

This mountain is the place where the seniors of the sect teach the disciples of the outer sect. Every ten days, that is, ten days, a monk who establishes the foundation will come and talk about the cultivation methods, which can also be spells, alchemy, forging tools, immortal planting, etc. Wait for something about cultivating immortals. The time is all morning or the whole day, depending on how the lecturer arranges it.

Zongmen stipulates that flying is not allowed when going up the mountain. Zhang Shiping naturally followed the rules. There are low shrubs and weeds growing on both sides of the mountain road, and tall ancient trees in the distance. Seven or eight people hug each other. Two long-tailed golden pheasants saw someone coming and flapped their wings and flew low into the grass.

Zhang Shiping walked halfway, looked up and saw a stretch of houses on the top of the mountain in the distance, he walked quickly, and met several black-clothed outer disciples like him in front of him, and he greeted them one by one as he passed by.

"Brother Zhang, brother Zhang."

When Zhang Shiping turned his head, he heard a familiar voice. He saw a man in his twenties, with a white face and beardless, striding forward. Zhang Shiping stopped and waited.

The person who came was called Lin Qing, and he lived next to Zhang Shiping's small courtyard, seventy to eighty meters away. Zhang Shiping and him met several times, and they talked a few words when they discussed Taoism together.

"Brother Zhang came so early. When I was looking for you this morning, no one opened the door thinking you were already here." Lin Qing caught up and said beside Zhang Shiping.

Zhang Shiping slowed down to talk to him. There were more and more monks on the road. When they stepped on a stone paved flat ground, there were already many people coming from various mountain paths in front of them, entering the gate one after another.

Zhang Shiping and Lin Qing also walked over. After entering the gate, they chose two adjacent places in the front of the hall. They sat on the futon, closed their eyes and rested, and stopped talking. Lin Qing didn't want to disturb Zhang Shiping either. , can only whisper to the people around, who is the lecturer today, and what kind of content is being taught.

Some people hoped that it was practicing martial arts, while others hoped that it was alchemy. There were more and more people in the back, and after a while, one or two hundred people filled the seat, and then a middle-aged monk dressed as a green-clothed Confucian scholar with five long beards came out and sat at the front. On the futon in the middle.

He first said his name, surname Huang Mingze, and closed the door with a wave of his hand, and officially began to teach. He was talking about an earth attribute spell, the swamp spell, which can quickly turn the hard ground into a swamp, and can catch it by surprise when fighting. .

Zhang Shiping was very interested. That Foundation Establishment cultivator named Huang Ze really had a skill, explaining a swamp technique thoroughly from its principle to its application. Zhang Shiping's mana was running, and following the meridian operation method he taught, he recited the mantra silently in his heart, and felt that he could easily melt the stone brick ground in front of him into a swamp. Since it was in the hall, he did not release the spell to disperse it.

Many outer disciples are also trying spells. Some of the spells in the hall are running smoothly, while others are jerky. Another one directly casts a swamp spell directly under the buttocks of a monk in front of him. Move aside.

In normal times, the swamp spell is easy to dodge, as long as a light body spell, or a short-term floating in the air like that figure can dodge it. This swamp spell can be used for a sneak attack, and it can also be used in conjunction with other spells to attack up and down,

The foundation-building old man dressed as a Confucian scholar in blue coughed twice and said, "Silence, silence."

Seeing the old man speak, everyone dared not be presumptuous anymore, the monk whose seat had turned into a swamp moved to the side, and the monk behind him apologized in a low voice.

The old man also casually mentioned some issues that need to be paid attention to when releasing water attribute spells. Zhang Shiping majored in fire attribute exercises, and the old man did not mention the five element basic exercises of the fire attribute. Maybe the old man did not mention them without studying them.

The content of the professor was originally based on the mood of the monk who established the foundation, and he couldn’t force it. Zhang Shiping wrote it down one by one. After the old man left, Zhang Shiping took out a blank jade slip and stuck it between his eyebrows. After a few breaths, a swamp technique It has been copied into the jade slip by him. He then took out a new jade slip and recorded in detail the practice experience of water attribute spells told by the old man.

The earth becomes a mountain, and the dripping water becomes a river.

Like Zhang Shiping, a large number of people in the hall recorded what the old man taught today and their own experience. UU Reading

Only then did they leave in twos and threes, Zhang Shiping and Lin Qing also went out, walking quickly in the mountains, there was a huge boulder on the mountainside, and there was a stone pavilion on the boulder, the whole body was made of stone, after going through wind and frost, the distance between the two of them was a few steps away. Stepping up the stone steps, five or six people have come to the pavilion, all in their twenties and thirties, and their cultivation is in the middle stage of Qi training.

"I've seen fellow Taoists." Zhang Shiping and Lin Qing came forward, and after saluting with fists clasped, they also chose a seat to sit quietly, and after half a cup of tea time, four people came from the pavilion. Among the four, there was an old man whose mental state was better than that of young people except that his hair was a little gray, and his cultivation was at the seventh level of Qi training.

Everyone saw that the time was almost up, and a monk Yu who was at the sixth level of Qi training said, "It's time, everyone, let's start." He looked at the old Jingshuo monk on the left who was at the seventh level of Qi training, with piercing eyes, "Wu Daoyou don't know if you have the elixir of improving mana in your hand?"

This monk Wu is a first-level alchemist. He can refine Huang Ya Dan, which is the most commonly used in the mid-stage of Qi training. The success rate is not low. He can produce several bottles every month. , attracted Zhang Shiping and several people to loot.

As soon as the words came out, the rest of the people stared at the old man, Zhang Shiping was no exception, the main reason he came here was to buy the yellow bud elixir.

Zongmen lectures are held once a ten-day period, but the dozen or so people like Zhang Shiping only get together once a month to exchange ideas. The first time Zhang Shiping didn’t know there was such a small gathering of monks. The second time was introduced by his neighbor Lin Qing. He was unprepared at the beginning, but when he saw two or three people he wanted, the bid was not enough, so he only sold some talismans.

He was well prepared this time, and he also hunted down the blue-eyed golden monkey king. Monster materials are as sought-after among cultivators as pills.
