Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 31
Tell the truth.

Lu Zhong thought that the control of the magic weapon only needs to be controlled with the mind.

But I never thought that I still need special practice.

Control the sword with special sword formulas, and then perform a basic sword move, and then combine these sword moves to form a sword in the popular sense.

From this point of view, using a sword is also a skill that takes time to explore.

The beautiful fantasy in Lu Zhong's heart was shattered, and he couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

But in any case, it is still necessary to buy a magic weapon, whether it is for self-protection or other purposes.

After he paid for the Lingshi, the Qingshuang Sword was successfully obtained.

At this time, Wanbaoshan ordered to go down again, let the boy bring a black-colored stone, which is full of large and small cut marks.

"This is the sword-testing stone, why don't you use it to test your sword?"

Lu Zhongzheng had this intention, holding the hilt of his sword and slowly pouring spiritual power into it.

With a soft sound of "嗡", the inner magic circle of the Cyan Frost Sword began to operate, and the original cyan body of the sword suddenly had a series of glowing lines, and at the same time, hoarfrost began to form on the surface.

Bursts of white air slowly fell from the sword body.

The temperature in the lobby immediately began to drop.

Lu Zhong's hand holding the hilt of the sword was painful from the cold, and he could feel a chill rushing into his body.

If there is no accident, this should be the so-called Qingshuang cold air.

"Cough cough, it is not recommended for fellow daoists to hold swords while activating magical powers. It is best to use sword tactics to control them." Wan Baoshan next to him couldn't stand it anymore, so he coughed twice to remind him.

Lu Zhong was embarrassed for a while, thinking that he was still complaining before.

The Qingshuang Sword is even cold to the master's hand, so how to use it?
But I never thought that it was my own usage that was wrong.

Under Wan Baoshan's guidance, he quickly learned how to control the Qingshuang Sword with his divine sense, and he was able to realize the sword move of slashing with sword tactics.

"cut!"

Lu Zhong gave a soft drink, and the sword art with both hands changed.

The Qingshuang sword floating in front of him moved in response to the sound, a burst of spiritual light appeared on the sword, and it fell straight towards the sword-testing stone.

There was only a crisp sound, and the blade sank an inch into the stone.

No more, no less, just the standard power of a low-grade magic weapon.

Then he tried a few more times, basically within this range.

"Yes, it is indeed a good sword!"

"Haha, as long as Fellow Daoist is satisfied!" Wan Baoshan stroked his beard and smiled.

……

He returned home, turned and closed the courtyard door.

Walking quickly into the living room, he looked at the Cyan Frost Sword excitedly for a while, then put it in the storage bag, and turned to the basic sword control key.

The number of sword formulas is limited, there are only thirty-six types in total, so it is quick to learn.

It took less than an hour for Lu Zhong to remember everything.

But remember, remember, if you want to use it in actual combat, you still need to practice until you form muscle memory.

Otherwise, he would have been beheaded and killed countless times with that slow speed of making art.

Learning sword moves is a bit troublesome.

Although there are no more than a dozen basic sword moves, each change involves the combination of sword tactics, and there are requirements for the connection between different sword moves. There are hundreds of changes that are dizzying.

Strict correspondence, no mistakes can be tolerated.

It was okay at the beginning. To perform each sword move individually, you only need to write it down on the backboard and grope a few more times.

When he learned the connection and combination of sword moves, he immediately became flustered.

Either the wrong sword formula was selected here, or a sword formula was missed there, which caused the failure of the sword move connection, or caused the Qingshuang sword to lose control.

After his practice like this, the flowers and plants in the courtyard suffered a catastrophe.

The practice lasted for a long time, and it wasn't until dark that Lu Zhong stopped sweating profusely.

Sweating is not tired, but frightened by oneself.

At this moment, he has initially learned how to perform basic sword moves, and has also mastered the connection and transformation of sword moves from chopping to stabbing.

In this way, it can be regarded as the first step in the way of the sword.

"That's all for today's practice, and the rest of the time I have to practice making talismans."

He put away the recipe booklet and started cooking.

……

In the days to come, Lu Zhong added another item to his daily plan.

Practice and make talisman unremittingly every day. The former is the foundation of practice, and the latter is necessary for making a living.Review the three spells you have mastered, the fire and rain technique of catching breath and holding breath.Then devote the rest of the time to practicing sword moves.

Occasionally he would relax, and would choose to go shopping after the talismans were sold out on the market day.

Or buy some novelties to eat and taste, or go to the theater troupe to perform, or go directly to the restaurant for extra meals.

It's a pity that Jiangwei Pavilion was destroyed as early as the first invasion by the demon cultivators.

The steward Qin who once offered a high reward for peach blossom mandarin fish also lost news after the chaos.

Otherwise, Lu Zhongding would have to taste the spiritual food there.

It's okay to live a small life, so naturally there will be other thoughts in my mind.

Lu Zhong has already decided that when he saves more spirit stones, he will buy a bottle of elixir to take.

Although taking elixirs will have disadvantages, it will cause erysipelas to accumulate in the body, but it can make the cultivation base grow rapidly.

Just looking at this advantage, one knows that pills are absolutely necessary for Lu Zhong.

Otherwise, with his mediocre four spiritual roots, his cultivation speed is as slow as a tortoise, and God knows when he will be able to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi refining.

Finally, after saving half a year's rent, Lu Zhong bought his first bottle of elixir.

Xisui Pill, a kind of medicinal pill with mild medicinal properties, can increase one's cultivation.

The elixir is also divided into nine levels, and the marrow washing pill is classified as a first-level elixir, which is suitable for monks in the early stage of Qi refining.

The monks in the early stage of Qi refining can take the Xisui Pill, which can have a very good effect of increasing their cultivation base. Taking one pill is roughly equivalent to a month of penance.

The increase in cultivation base is not much, which is probably because it only sells one of the two spirit stones.

But even so, many casual cultivators in Qingliufang still couldn't afford it.

Unlike those casual cultivators who have not mastered the means of making a living, Lu Zhong quickly mastered the skill of making talismans with the help of the gray fog space, so that he was able to earn spiritual stones steadily and continuously by means of making talismans.

But even so, it was only after saving money for a period of time that he gritted his teeth and bought a bottle of marrow washing pill.

It is extremely difficult for casual cultivators in the market to make money. They spend almost all their time and energy just to maintain their own survival, let alone save money to buy pills. The craft of making a living.

Taking pills doesn't mean you just swallow them, it's a waste of pills.

The correct way to take it should be to run the exercises immediately after taking the elixir, the purpose is to absorb the aura released by refining the elixir, so as to turn most of the aura of the elixir into one's own.

Lu Zhong took a marrow washing pill, and immediately began to refine it.

This process lasted for three full days before finally refining a Marrow Cleansing Pill.

Sensing my own cultivation, it really has improved significantly.

According to this progress, he is confident that he will break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining within two years.

"It's no wonder everyone is addicted to pills. It seems that the effect of this pill is really not small." Lu Zhong sighed for a while.

At the same time, I have a premonition in my heart that I am afraid that I will be inseparable from the pill in the future.

In addition, the elixir cannot be taken continuously, and it needs to be taken at intervals.

This period of time is usually used for penance, that is, to absorb the aura of heaven and earth for cultivation, which can achieve the effect of refining spiritual power.

In this way, the erysipelas in the body can be resolved.
