Chapter 17 The First Level of Qi Training

Picking up a milky white stone at random, I felt a little cold in my hand, but after a while, there was a little bit of warmth.

The next moment, Dongfang Mo's eyes widened suddenly.

"This is the spirit stone?"

He suddenly remembered that when he fell into the bottomless stream that day, there seemed to be such milky white stones all over the underground river.

At the beginning, he had guessed that the stone was most likely to be a spirit stone, and he had opened up his own spirit veins in the dark river with the help of the fragments of scrolls.

Looking at it now, what I expected was right, the stones in the dark river were indeed spirit stones.

And thinking of the number of spirit stones again, Dongfang Mo only felt a pounding in his heart.

According to Mu Ziyu, in the Taiyi Dao Palace, you need to accept tasks to earn spirit stones yourself, but if you can return to the dark river, you don't need to have as many as you want, so naturally you don't need to pick up any tasks from Taoshen.

After a long time, Dongfang Mo couldn't calm down his excitement.

So he forcibly diverted his attention, and with trembling hands, he picked up the bundle of palm-sized bamboo slips and slowly spread them out.

I saw thousands of characters in tiny characters, and what caught my eye was the three characters "condensation volume" in the middle.

Looking at the thousand-character description on the bamboo slips, Dongfang Mo was submerged in it unconsciously.

Originally, he only relied on the dozens of fragments to open up the spiritual veins. Now that he saw the complete and detailed description of thousands of words, he felt a sense of clarity in his heart. Gradually, he entered the state described in the condensing volume.

"Look at the nose with the eyes, look at the heart with the nose, the mind is calm and the breath is calm, when you enter the home, you will be enlightened, and you will enter with the spiritual breath..."

At the same time, he felt that there were countless strands of spiritual energy around him being sucked into his body, following his spiritual roots, and condensing in his dantian.

"Gathering Qi in the dantian, hanging in the sea of ​​Qi, is a layer of refining Qi..."

When Dongfang Mo saw this passage, his heart was filled with joy beyond words.

It turned out that when he was in the underground river, he not only opened up the spiritual veins, but also relying on the fragments of dozens of characters, he cultivated to the level of the first level of refining Qi.

It was also because there was no follow-up practice method at the beginning, so it has been stagnant.

But now that he has this complete condensate volume, he can continue to practice.

Thinking of this, I can't help but devote myself to that kind of cultivation.

The surrounding spiritual energy was sucked into his body and stored in his dantian. Feeling the comfort of the spiritual energy entering his body, Dongfang Mo felt refreshed.

After several full hours, he felt that his stomach was empty, and he completely withdrew from that state of cultivation.

He took out the finger-sized porcelain bottle and poured out a Bigu Pill. Looking at the white Bigu Pill in his hand, which was as white as a grain of rice, he hesitated for a moment before pouring it into his mouth.

The moment he swallowed the Bigu Pill, a feeling of fullness suddenly came over him, and at the same time, the sense of hunger disappeared. Dongfang Mo couldn't help but secretly thought that the Bigu Pill was really a good thing.

……

In this way, for several days, except for sleeping, he was immersed in this kind of tireless cultivation.

It wasn't until the ninth day, when his third bigu pill lost its effect, that he slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, Dongfang Mo frowned.

During his nearly ten days of cultivation, he gradually realized that the speed of practicing this complete Qi Condensation Scroll seemed to be faster than his original number of ten scrolls.

Originally, he guessed that the fragmented scroll might really be some amazing supernatural power, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was unlikely. The reason why his cultivation speed was too slow was most likely because the aura here was not as abundant as it was in the underground river. .

You must know that there were countless spiritual stones all over the underground river at the beginning, and the spiritual energy reached a concentration that was almost visible to the naked eye.

In the cave here, only when one is immersed in cultivation can one feel the wisps of aura.

In order to confirm his guess, Dongfang Mo took out two spirit stones from the animal skin bag, held them tightly in his hands, and activated the spell of the condensing scroll at the same time.

The next moment, he felt two strong auras in his hands flowing into his body, and the speed of his cultivation was several times faster than before.

"Sure enough."

Dongfang Mo opened his eyes, and became more and more sure of his guess.

Then he shook his head and stood up.

The past few days have been closed, no matter how you practice at this moment, it is difficult to break through the first layer of Qi Refining in a short time.

So he planned to go out of the cave and go to the Shufa Pavilion that Mu Ziyu mentioned at the beginning. He wondered if the ten spirit stones in his hand could be exchanged for magical powers. If it was possible, Dongfang Mo would definitely not begrudge it.

Pushing open the gate of the cave, it was morning. After confirming the direction, Dongfang Mo went towards a small path.

It was just a cup of tea, and I came to the pavilion of things again.

When I arrived here, I saw a continuous stream of senior sisters coming in and out, and I couldn't help feeling very annoyed.

"Isn't it just dozens of little girls? At the beginning, my wish was to marry a lot of pretty girls, but now I want to marry not only pretty girls, but also pretty girls who can practice. If you are afraid of these dozens of girls, then And marry a fart pretty lady."

Dongfang Mo also had a strange temper, he really wasn't afraid if he said he wasn't afraid, so under the gazes of many senior sisters, he walked into the Pavilion of Things with his head held high.

"This is the third male disciple of our Miaoyin Academy."

……

"It should be, it seems to be called Dongfang Mo."

……

"I also heard about it a few days ago, but I didn't expect to see it today."

……

"It doesn't look like anything special."

……

"Don't underestimate it. The male disciples who can enter my Miaoyin Academy must be geniuses like Senior Brother Zu and Senior Brother Jiang."

……

"I can't see it. Senior Brother Zu and Senior Brother Jiang have only entered the sect for a year, and they are already at the seventh level of Qi Refining. They are both well-known names in my Taiyi Dao Palace. If people deliberately suppress the progress of cultivation, I am afraid that they have already broken through the foundation building stage."

……

"Yes, I don't think it is possible to compare with those two senior brothers."

……

When he entered the Pavilion of Things, many people around him were talking in low voices.

Seeing everyone pointing at him, Dongfang Mo even raised his head, as if he didn't hear it. After looking around for a while, his eyes suddenly stopped on a girl in white.

At this moment, although the girl in white clothes turned her back to him and was concentrating on looking at a stone wall in front of her, Dongfang Mo still recognized that she was the delicate-faced girl who entered Miaoyin Academy with him back then.

Dongfang Mo didn't care about the comments of the people around him, instead he walked to the side of the girl, and also raised his head to look at the stone wall.

I saw that it was densely packed with rows of words.

"Luoyun Canyon, collect Luoyun stone essence, one gram of stone essence can be exchanged for one spirit stone."

……

"Tianzhu Mountain, collect the sky spider silk, one strand can be exchanged for two spirit stones."

……

"Puluoya, search for Puluohua, one by one Lingshi."

……

Dongfang Mo glanced at tasks like these, and most of them were to go out to collect certain materials or medicinal materials.

"Hey, why are you here?"

Just as he was engrossed in watching, the girl beside him had noticed him at some point.

"This sister...it's a coincidence that we meet again."

Dongfang Mo laughed.

"Your name is Dongfang Mo, right? Listen carefully, this girl is called Nangong Yurou, you can call me Senior Sister Nangong."

The girl looked at Dongfang Mo and narrowed her eyes slightly, looking old-fashioned.

"So it's Senior Sister Nangong, Junior Brother is being polite."

Seeing this, Dongfang Mo cupped his hands, showing a kind look, but in his heart he secretly scolded this little girl who started with him, but was so arrogant that she dared to call herself Senior Sister, maybe she was not as old as him.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, but senior sister is here to pick up the mission?" But Hua Feng turned around and asked.

Hearing this, the girl couldn't help laughing:

"It's a joke, this girl has plenty of spirit stones, why did she take up this task, it's just to go out for a while when I'm bored."

Seeing this, Dongfang Mo's heart skipped a beat, maybe this little girl is still a little rich woman!
"That's really a coincidence. I'm running out of money recently. I wonder if Senior Sister Nangong can borrow a hundred or so spirit stones as envoys. I will definitely return them someday."

Thinking of the magical effect of Lingshi, Dongfang Mo felt a little itchy in his heart.

"What? You really dared to speak. You were not wronged when you scolded you for being shameless that day. You are a new disciple with only ten spirit stones. What do you give me back?"

The girl was almost mad at him.

"Isn't it just to see if there is any suitable task to pick up?"

Dongfang Mo explained.

"It's just you, senior sister, I advise you, Xiaoniubi, you should give up on the task here, you low-level disciple who doesn't even know how to spell, you will die if you go."

Nangong Yurou said with a little disdain.

Regarding Nangong Yurou's address to him, Dongfang Mo was full of integrity in his heart, thinking that I'm not an idiot, but continued without changing his expression:

"Then I'll go to the Shufa Pavilion to choose a suitable technique. It's fine if I'm successful in cultivation."

"Hahaha, don't exaggerate your C-class wood spirit root aptitude. I don't believe that you have opened up your spiritual veins in less than ten days, and you are still going to the Shufa Pavilion."

Nangong Yurou laughed out loud.

Hearing this, all the disciples of the Miaoyin Academy around showed a look of astonishment. I didn't expect that the third male disciple who was rumored recently was only the aptitude of C-level wood spirit root. This is really incredible. How can such qualifications be able to enter the Miaoyin Academy.

"Fortunately, I finally got through the spiritual vein eight days ago, and now I am at the first level of Qi Refining."

The corner of Dongfang Mo's mouth twitched, since he said I'm bragging, then I'm really bragging.

"impossible!"

Nangong Yurou vetoed it without hesitation, and the other Miaoyin Academy disciples looked over in surprise.

"You said that you opened up the spiritual vein on the first day and reached the first level of Qi refining?"

The girl's breathing was a little short.

"Yes, that's right."

Dongfang Mo nodded proudly.

"This girl really doesn't believe it."

Speaking of which, Nangong Yurou grabbed his wrist, as if he couldn't resist.

Dongfang Mo felt his wrist being grasped by a soft and boneless hand, and he couldn't help but tremble in his heart. At the same time, a faint aura came from that little hand and penetrated into his body.

He didn't resist, just took a few breaths, and the aura quickly retreated.

When looking at Dongfang Mo again, Nangong Yurou showed an incredible expression.

One must know that even she only felt the aura on the first day, and opened up the spiritual vein on the second day. This Dongfang Mo is only a third-class aptitude, so how could it be possible to get through in just one day.

Although it is true that there are such people, they are all people of extraordinary beauty. Even if this little cow's nose is a hidden spirit root, but my aunt said that the hidden spirit root will not have any effect until the foundation is established.

In that case, she really didn't believe that a person with grade C qualification could open up the spiritual vein in one day.

But just now she tried a little bit, and found that Dongfang Mo not only reached the first level of Qi refining, but also the aura in his body was abnormally stable, it didn't seem like he broke through recently, and it seemed that the other party was not lying, so how to explain this.

"Is it good to touch?"

Dongfang Mo narrowed his eyes, revealing a haughty look.

"what?"

Nangong Yurou was puzzled.

"I said my hand is easy to touch, but you keep holding on to it."

"Go to hell! You bastard Nangong Yurou finally came to her senses and quickly threw away his wrist, her face flushed, and she looked at Dongfang Mo with a look of embarrassment and indignation.

"I still don't believe it after I told you. It's fine if you don't borrow my spirit stone, but you have to find so many reasons."

Dongfang Mo felt refreshed, and stroked the cuffs that were crumpled by Nangong Yurou.

"If you told me to call me shameless that day, I will show you shameless today, so what can you do?"

But then he saw dozens of female disciples around him all showing contemptuous looks at him. His current performance had already overwhelmed the shock brought about by breaking through to the first level of Qi refining just a day ago.

"Senior sisters, my junior brother is a newcomer and is in short supply. I don't know if I can borrow a hundred or so spirit stones."

Dongfang Mo was used to storytelling, so he boldly reached out to ask for it.

"shameless."

……

"How can you be a pervert, even Junior Sister Nangong dares to tease you."

……

"How could such a person come to my Miaoyin Academy?"

……

"Compared with those two senior brothers, it's a world of difference."

……

Dongfang Mo looked familiar, but what he got in exchange was ridicule from everyone.

Seeing this, he didn't take it seriously, he just strode out of the Pavilion of Things and walked towards the outside of Miaoyin Courtyard. After a while, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

I heard from Mu Ziyu last time that the Shufa Pavilion is not in Miaoyinyuan, but in the main palace of Taiyi Dao Palace, which is some distance away from here.

I don't know if the ten spirit stones on hand can be exchanged for spells.

Walking unhurriedly along the way, he took a general look at the layout of the Miaoyin Academy, and in a short while came to the huge gate of the Miaoyin Academy.

After stepping out of the palace gate, I realized that the disciples on duty on both sides had changed. Mu Ziyu was gone, but two other female disciples who were fifteen or sixteen years old.

The two disciples on duty saw such a man walking out of the courtyard inexplicably, and after looking at each other, they both saw a hint of consternation in each other's eyes.

"The two senior sisters are polite, Xiaodao Dongfang Mo is a new disciple who just entered the sect a few days ago."

Dongfang Mo returned a kind smile to the two of them.

Seeing this, the two of them suddenly realized that they had heard that a male student named Dongfang Mo had come to Miaoyin Academy, but they didn't expect to see it today.

"So it's Junior Brother Dongfang, it's because of me that I'm blind."

One of the female disciples spoke quietly.

"Exactly, I dare to ask the two senior sisters, how do I get to this Shufa Pavilion?"

Dongfang Mo asked.

"Why, the younger brother has only been in the Miaoyin Academy for a few days, and he has already opened up the spiritual veins. He is thinking of going to the Shufa Pavilion to exchange for spells."

Hearing Dongfang Mo's words, another female disciple couldn't help casting a surprised look.

"Hehe, I just broke through by luck."

Dongfang Mo smiled slightly.

Seeing this, the two girls looked at each other, and there really wasn't a single male disciple who could enter Miaoyin Academy secretly.

"This road is ten miles to the west."

So he spoke.

"Thank you."

So Dongfang Mo cupped his hands, and walked leisurely towards the mountain path.

But when he had just walked less than two or three miles away, he felt something was wrong.

His eyesight and hearing are far superior to ordinary people, even surpassing ordinary low-ranking monks. At this time, he clearly noticed some sneaky figures in the woods, so he couldn't help but stop and become alert.

"Shhhhh!"

At the same time, dozens of figures shot out from both sides, blocking him.

Dongfang Mo was taken aback, he forcibly calmed down, and took a closer look, and found that these were all young men in Taoist robes.

"Who are you, why do you dare to stop at the gate of my Miaoyin Academy?"

His mind was spinning rapidly, and those who could appear here should be disciples of Taiyi Dao Palace, and these people are all men, obviously not from Miaoyin Academy, but from Nanlu Academy and Beichen Academy.

Since the Taiyi Dao Palace forbids disciples to fight privately, these people definitely dare not do anything to him, so he naturally has the confidence to speak.

"Huh? Could it be that you are the third male disciple of the Miaoyin Academy that has been rumored recently?"

When everyone heard Dongfang Mo's words, they couldn't help guessing.

"That's right, I'm right here, Xiaodao Dongfang Mo, who are all of you?"

Dongfang Mo asked without changing his expression.

Seeing this, everyone looked at each other, but after a while, they showed a humble smile.

"It turned out to be Brother Dongfang, please ask Brother Dongfang to speak.
