At the dinner table, Ping Liu took a mouthful of food with a calm expression. He raised his head, glanced at the two apprentices on the left and right, and said, "Nanyun, how are you practicing lately? Do you have anything to ask your master?"
Nan Yun shook his body, buried his head, and said in a very weak voice: "No."
"real?"
"real."
"Humph." Pingliu sneered and said, "Then let me ask you, what state of cultivation have you reached now."
"The eighth level of Qi refining."
"That's right. You can achieve this after just two years of entry. It seems I misjudged you at first." Nodding with satisfaction, Ping Liu looked sideways at Liu Ding.
Seeing the master looking over, Liu Ding was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head and barely escaped.
Looking at his look, Pingliu shook his head without saying anything and continued to eat
After dinner, Ping Liu waved his sleeves, stood up and walked towards the second floor of Juxian Pavilion. Both Nan Yun and Liu Ding immediately let out a breath of hot air and smiled bitterly. Nan Yun wiped the cold sweat on his head: "Fortunately, I broke through to the eighth level last night, otherwise it wouldn't have been so simple just now."
"The eighth level." Liu Ding muttered silently and looked at Nanyun jealously: "Congratulations, senior brother, for breaking through the eighth level and taking one step closer to the light. But I haven't even broken through to Little Zhoutian in a month."
Reaching out and patting Liu Ding's shoulder, Nanyun comforted him: "Junior brother, don't pay too much attention to your cultivation. Just be more natural. Maybe one day God will open his eyes and allow you to break through to consecration in one fell swoop."
"Haha." Liu Ding smiled bitterly: "How can such a good thing happen? Senior brother, please stop making fun of me."
With an awkward smile, Nanyun laughed and walked out of the kitchen. If he continues to stay, he really doesn't know how to explain it to this junior brother.
"Perhaps I am really a waste." Liu Ding sighed softly. After cleaning up the kitchen, he returned to Juxian Pavilion and continued to study the alchemy book
Day after day, another year passed like this, and suddenly a burst of laughter came from Liu Ding¡¯s room. Since it was late at night, his laughter seemed so harsh.
"Click." Not long after the laughter started, the door bolt of Liu Ding's room suddenly broke into two sections, and then Pingliu and Nanyun appeared at the door. Among them, Nanyun said with some surprise: "Junior brother, you are giggling in the middle of the night. What¡¯s so exciting?¡±
Turning his head, Liu Ding looked at his master and senior brother excitedly, and after a while he spoke: "Master, master, this disciple has broken through the hundred-day barrier and has entered the Qi refining period."
"Big idiot." It felt that Liu Ding had indeed reached the stage of Qi training. Ping Liu not only did not praise him, but instead cursed him. However, it was different from the past. His curse was not as cold as before, but rather a little bit soft.
After hearing what Liu Ding said, Bai Yun immediately exclaimed: "Wow, junior brother, you finally made a breakthrough. It's not easy. If I had given up, I would have given up a long time ago. To be honest, senior brother, I admire you from the bottom of my heart."
These words were spoken completely from Nayun's heart, without any derogatory meaning. Immortal cultivators should have spiritual roots and can be said to be God's favorite. Generally, wild animals will retreat when they smell this scent. This is the main reason why Liu Ding was lucky enough to escape from the Ten Thousand Poison Forest alive. Secondly, another benefit of spiritual roots is that it can quickly open up the twelve meridians and eight extraordinary meridians in the human body.
For those with spiritual roots, as long as they practice patiently, it usually takes one to two months to circulate the spiritual energy for a large period of time, enter the hundred-day level and stabilize the foundation, and then successfully reach the Qi refining period, and if they want to open up the body When the twelve meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians entered the Hundred Days Pass, he had to endure a heartbreaking pain, but Liu Ding's pain exceeded it by ten times. Ten times the time, which meant that Liu Ding simultaneously He endured ten times more pain than others, and probably only he knew the suffering during this period
"Since he has reached the Qi refining stage, Nanyun, you can teach him some basic Taoist techniques tomorrow." Pingliu said calmly.
"Yes, master." Nanyun bowed and agreed.
Raising his eyes to look at the stupid disciple he had accepted, Pingliu felt mixed feelings in his heart, but his face remained cold.
Seeing this, Liu Ding lowered his head in embarrassment and did not dare to look directly at his master. The previous excitement subsided in the blink of an eye. It took more than a year to break through to the Qi refining stage, and he endured countless hardships. Breaking through at this time was a great comfort to him, but facing this eccentric master, he knew that he still did not gain his approval. .
"Hey." Ping Liu sighed, took out a bag from his arms and gave it to Liu Ding, saying calmly: "Although you have broken through to the Qi refining stage, you still can't be proud. You need to work harder in the future. There is one in the bag One hundred taels of gold. After Nanyun teaches you the magic tomorrow, you can go home to visit your relatives. This is what I promised you before." After that,Liu Yi turned around and walked towards the third floor.
"Thank you, Master." Kneeling on the ground, Liu Ding kowtowed in the direction Ping Liu left, regardless of whether the other party could see or not.
"Hehe." Seeing the master leaving, Nanyun grinned boldly, then walked over and put his hand on Liu Ding's shoulder and said: "Junior brother, it seems that the master is treating you well."
Liu Ding nodded and agreed. Although Pingliu never gave him a good look, he had always been grateful to Pingliu in his heart. If it weren't for this master, it was still unknown whether he could become an immortal. People must know how to be satisfied. This is what Liu's mother taught him before
In the early morning of the next day, Liu Ding got up early after not sleeping all night, opened the door, and quickly walked to the counter opposite. Looking at the books on the counter and the magic weapon behind it, his eyes glowed with gold. Although the second floor is also where he and Nanyun rest, it also sells some items from the world of immortality. The types are similar to those on the first floor, except that there are some more alchemy materials here, and they are much more advanced than the ones below. Just any item. You need hundreds of spirit stones to buy them.
As for the third floor of Juxian Pavilion, he has never been there once in more than a year. Moreover, I heard from Nanyun that there was an uncle sitting on top, but he had never seen it once. Sometimes he couldn't help but secretly ask his mysterious uncle how he solved the problem of eating, drinking, and diarrhea.
Secondly, the items sold above are even more high-end and rare. For more than a year, he has only seen a few buyers go there.
Since he is also a member of the Juxian Pavilion, they can read the books on the first and second floors. They do not need to spend spiritual stones to buy them like outsiders. The only regret is that they cannot use magic weapons and elixirs.
Withdrawing his greedy gaze, Liu Ding lowered his head to look at the books on the counter, and after scanning them carefully, he picked up a book with Xuan Qing Sword Jue written on it, opened it and read it casually, he smiled and said, "It's you. "As he said this, he took the Four Treasures of the Study and began to copy. ,
Because there were too many, Liu Ding only copied the first layer and put the book back. After all, his cultivation speed is too slow, and copying too many will be useless.
Liu Ding walked into the room quickly, packed the things he needed to bring and put them on his back. Liu Ding walked downstairs and said goodbye to Nanyun. During this period, most of Nanyun's words were to remind him to be careful along the way, and gave him a charm to use at critical moments.
Liu Ding was deeply moved by Nan Yun's concern. Finally, reluctant to leave, he slowly walked out of Juxian Pavilion. After being here for a year and a month, it was time for him to go home to visit his mother. After all, he couldn't stop thinking about him
