Palm fairy garden

Chapter 96

Hearing this, Su Ming's expression changed, as if he was listening attentively.

Qin Jiaoxi continued: "You must have heard of the specific content of the sect assessment of my Xianxia sect, right?"

Su Ming thought for a while, and said, "I have heard it a little bit, but I don't know the details."

Qin Zhen nodded: "The sect assessment of the Xianxia Sect is conducted once every three years, and the monks' character, understanding, and spiritual root are assessed separately. The spiritual root is determined in heaven, let alone this, but both the mind and the understanding can be honed. , especially xinxing!"

Speaking of this, Qin Zhen looked at Su Ming, and continued: "In order to sharpen the minds of the disciples of the Taoist school, the various Taoist schools in the three peaks and five realms of Lanzhou adopt different methods.

But my Yaoyuan Taoist Academy uses the method of illusion sharpening. "

"Phantom sharpening?"

This was really the first time Su Ming heard of it.

"Well, it's normal that you haven't heard of it. Only the disciples who focus on this method will have the opportunity to try it. After all, it costs a lot of spirit stones to open the Heart Refining Tower.

If you support all the disciples of the Taoist Academy to practice together, even the Taoist Academy will not be able to bear it. "

Hearing this, Su Ming finally understood why Qin Zhen was so eager to find him.

It turned out that it was for the Taoist Academy to cultivate him, the key seedling.

If Su Ming delays the Taoist Academy's training for him because of other things, then the loss outweighs the gain.

After pondering for a moment, Su Ming cupped his hands and said, "Qin Jiaoxi, I don't know how this mind-refining pagoda uses illusions to sharpen a monk's mind?"

Hearing this, Qin Zhen explained: "How do you think a monk should sharpen his mind?"

"Overcoming difficulties and overcoming pain?"

Su Ming was puzzled.

"That's right,"

Qin Zhen nodded, "People's Taoism is not strong, and the essence is that their ability to bear pain is too weak. Most of the pain in the world comes from human desires.

Not getting what you ask for, and being dissatisfied with what you get, will make people extremely painful. "

Qin Zhen paused, and continued, "Of course, the illusion of the Heart Refining Tower is not that complicated. The pain that the Heart Refining Tower makes you suffer is very direct, it simply makes you feel—pain!"

"pain?"

Su Ming was taken aback for a moment, "The pain Qin Jiaoxi mentioned doesn't refer to purely physical pain, does it?"

"It's physical pain!"

Qin Zhen looked at Su Ming with a smile, "The Heart Refining Pagoda divides pain into four levels, from the initial pain of the skin, to the pain of broken bones, to the severe pain of piercing the intestines, and finally, the pain of The pain of tearing the soul!"

Hearing this, Su Ming couldn't help trembling in his heart.

He could imagine that the so-called cultivating Taoist disciples in this refining tower is simply a kind of abuse.

But it is undeniable that once one can pass this kind of perverted pain training, the monk's Taoism will not be firm.

nonsense!

A person can bear this kind of pain, why worry about not being strong?
But Su Ming wasn't sure if he could bear the pain.

Because so far, he has never been injured in a fight with others. Although he was injured in the previous life, it was only a cut finger or something.

The most serious trauma seems to be when he broke his head when he was in elementary school.

Therefore, facing the painful training in the refining tower, he was really not sure.

If it's a martial arts fight, Su Ming is sure that it would be no problem for him to single out hundreds of disciples in the monastery.

But compared to the ability to bear pain, Su Ming couldn't guarantee it.

After all, he'd never tried it.

Seeing that Su Ming didn't speak, Qin Zhen looked at him sullenly, and said, "I reported your name to the monastery not long after the rest period ended.

It turned out that you were fine, you didn't see anyone for a whole month, do you know how many times I've come to see you? "

"Qin teaches to forgive sins, and Qin teaches to forgive sins."

Su Ming repeatedly begged for mercy.

"okay,"

Qin Zhen waved his hand, "This is the nameplate for you to go to the Mind Refining Pagoda. The location of the Mind Refining Pagoda is marked on the map of the Taoist temple. You can see for yourself."

After finishing speaking, Qin Zhen didn't seem to want to say more, so he turned around and left.

Su Ming hurried forward two steps, and said with a smile, "I will see you off, Teacher Qin."

After sending Qin Zhen away, Su Ming returned to the courtyard of the dormitory, first put the identity plate into the storage bag, and then carefully looked at the map of the monastery.

Finally, he found a place called Refining Heart Pagoda near the center of the monastery.

"so far?"

Judging from the distance, it was almost a hundred miles away from their dormitory area.

Even though the area of ​​Yaoyuan Taoist Temple is huge, the distance is really not close.

However, the speed of the monks' journey has always been astonishing. To Su Ming, this distance is just a matter of incense.

The next day.

Su Ming finished his "Thick Earth Kungfu" practice.

Then, he took a look at the situation on Guangyuan Island through the Hall of Immortals, and found that people like Wu Laoshi were still opening up wasteland on the island, so he withdrew his consciousness.

After thinking about it, Su Ming decided to go to the Hall of Refining Mind first.

Now that he has decided to join the Xianxia Sect, Su Ming must pass the Xianxia Sect's sect assessment.

Otherwise, continue to be a casual cultivator, not to mention other things, subsequent cultivation methods will be problematic.

This point is not only the Xianxia sect, but also almost all the major sects and Xiuxian families in Daqian, blocking information on exercises.

Even the Xianxia sect, which is extremely enlightened in Su Ming's view, is blocking information on cultivation techniques.

It's like the library in the Taoist temple.

Various qi training techniques and foundation building techniques emerge in endlessly, but there is not a single foundation building technique.

In Tianshu Island Fang City, foundation-building period exercises are also rare and pitiful.

And once it appears, it will soon be bought at a high price.

After Su Ming ransacked the entire Zhangjiabao, he obtained quite a few members of the Zhang family, but the most powerful technique of the Zhang family can only be cultivated to the third level of foundation building.

Not only is the skill incomplete, but it also doesn't match the attributes of Su Ming's spiritual root.

So Su Ming has no intention of switching to this practice at all.

Su Ming wanted to join the sect precisely because of the blockade of cultivation techniques by the high-level officials in the world of cultivating immortals.

"It's a pity that my wordless book can only deduce spells, not exercises."

Shaking his head, Su Ming stopped thinking about it.

As long as you join the Xianxia School, the problem of cultivation skills is not difficult to solve at all.

Su Ming ran all the way, the wind blowing against his face.

Soon, a seven-story pagoda appeared before his eyes.

"arrive."

Su Ming secretly thought.

Approaching the Heart Refining Pagoda, Su Ming saw Taoist disciples constantly entering and leaving the pagoda.

When every disciple entered the Mind Refining Pagoda, they looked like they were facing a formidable enemy and were extremely nervous, while the faces of the disciples who walked out of the Mind Refining Tower were all expressions of relief.

Comparing the two, Su Ming was taken aback for a while.

He knew that the pain the disciples endured in this mind-refining pagoda was definitely more exaggerated than what Qin Zhen said.

Of course, Su Ming could also choose to give up.

But since he has made up his mind to join the Xianxia School, he will never give up.

Although the paper puppet technique allowed Su Ming to stand at the pinnacle of monks of the same rank, he could even fight with a higher rank.

But in the final analysis, the paper puppet technique is still a way to protect the way, it cannot make Su Ming become a fairy.

If you want to go further in your cultivation, you still have to rely on yourself after all.

Dao Xin is a crucial part of cultivation.

He can make monks free from demons during their cultivation.

"Nameplate."

Walking to the gate of the Heart Refining Pagoda, a foundation cultivator in charge of guarding said with a blank expression.

Su Ming respectfully handed over the nameplate.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator in charge of guarding checked the nameplate and Su Ming's identity. After confirming that it was him, he raised his head and said, "Your first visit?"

"Senior, this is the first time for this disciple."

Nodding his head, the cultivator in charge of guarding the Mind Refining Pagoda returned the nameplate to Su Ming, and pointed out: "After entering the Mind Refining Tower, find a secret room where there is no one there, and hang the nameplate outside the door of the secret room."

"Yes."

Resisting curiosity in his heart, Su Ming put away the nameplate and walked into the Mind Training Pagoda.

Walking into the Mind Refining Pagoda, Su Ming did not expect that he would meet an acquaintance.

"Brother Luo!"

When Su Ming saw Luo Xiao, he hurried forward and greeted him.

"Brother Su."

When Luo Xiao heard someone calling him, he turned his head and saw Su Ming with a little surprise in his eyes.

"Where did you go this month? Teacher Qin is looking for you everywhere."

"Indescribable."

Su Ming smiled and shook his head, "Brother Luo, have you been here many times?"

"Well, there are indeed many times."

When Luo Xiao said this, there was still a hint of fear on his face.

Obviously, he was severely tortured by the Refining Tower.

The expressions of those disciples that Su Ming saw outside the Mind Refining Pagoda were exactly the same.

"Brother Luo, can you tell me what this mind refining tower is like?"

Hearing this, Luo Xiao smiled wryly and said: "Brother Su, it's better not to ask, you will know when you go in."

Luo Xiao obviously didn't want to talk about painful memories.

see.

Su Ming cupped his hands at him and said, "Okay, let's talk about it later."

Luo Xiao nodded, and the two began to search for the secret room of the Heart Refining Pagoda.

There are seven floors in the Heart Refining Pagoda.

There are nine secret rooms on each floor, and there are 63 secret rooms in the entire Mind Refining Pagoda.

For a Yaoyuan Taoist monastery with more than 63 disciples, there are only [-] secret rooms for cultivating monks' Taoism, which is indeed a bit small.

It's no wonder that Qin Zhen's words mean that this quota is very precious.

The Heart Refining Pagoda is basically opened at twelve hours a day.

Only when one of the disciples in the secret room goes out can the next one come in.

But the strange thing is that the secret room of the Heart Refining Pagoda never seems to be full.

Su Ming and Luo Xiao walked to the sixth floor and found a spare secret room.

The two each looked for a room, hung the nameplates outside the secret room, and walked straight into the secret room.

Su Ming walked into the secret room and found that the secret room was empty, except for a futon in the middle of the secret room, there was nothing else.

Su Ming went straight to the futon and sat down.

Immediately, Su Ming only felt that his consciousness was in chaos.

But the next moment, his consciousness became extremely clear again.

Su Ming began to feel that a knife was cutting his skin.

pain!

Soon, a feeling of pain came back to Su Ming's mind.

It's just that this kind of pain is still within Su Min's tolerance.

But then, the pain started to intensify.

The knife started from the skin, penetrated into Su Ming's muscles little by little, and then began to cut his muscles little by little.

Although Su Ming knew that this pain was only created by the illusion.

But the feeling of pain was actually reflected in his mind.

It's just that the better thing about the Refining Heart Pagoda is that once a disciple can't bear the pain brought by the illusion, it will directly kick the disciple out of the illusion to prevent the disciple's Dao Xin from being injured.

"Pain! Pain! It hurts!"

Severe pain hit Su Ming like a tsunami.

Almost drowned his consciousness.

But the strange thing is that Su Ming gritted his teeth and persisted.

You know, the pain he is enduring now is already Ling Chi's pain.

When ordinary people encounter this kind of pain, they will fall into a faint in an instant.

Although a monk's will is stronger than ordinary people's, but for the first time exercising, he definitely can't bear Su Ming for so long.

After forcefully resisting Ling Chi's pain, Su Ming gradually found himself getting used to this pain.

Even his consciousness, which was about to be blurred, gradually became clear under the tempering of this pain.

"It turns out that as long as you don't get crushed by the first wave of pain, your will will become stronger and stronger!"

There was a different kind of light in Su Ming's eyes, "This is the meaning of honing one's Dao heart!"

Su Ming persisted for a whole stick of incense under the pain of Ling Chi, and seemed to find that Su Ming had adapted to the pain of Ling Chi.

The illusion of the Refining Tower continued to change.

"Next is the pain of bone sawing, ah!!!"

Su Ming let out a crazy roar.

Compared with Ling Chi's pain, the bone sawing pain was more than ten times more painful.

"I am. I."

Su Ming only felt that his consciousness gradually blurred.

But there is still a voice in his heart that keeps shouting, hold on!hold onto!
Until his consciousness was completely plunged into darkness.

"call!"

"call!"

"call!"

On the futon, Su Ming suddenly opened his eyes.

Then it bounced off the futon like an electric shock.

"The pain of sawing bones is too terrifying!"

Su Ming murmured.

He has been able to enjoy the pain of Ling Chi and maintain a clear consciousness.

But the pain of sawing bones was simply unbearable with Su Ming's Dao Xin will.

Even if he keeps brainwashing himself, let him persevere!Hold on!
But it's useless at all. Although the ability to endure pain can be exercised, once it exceeds the limit of enduring pain, it can only collapse.

Su Ming wiped his sweaty forehead, straightened his clothes, opened the door and walked out of the secret room.

outside the secret.

Luo Xiao has already been waiting here.

When he saw Su Ming, the expression on his face was rather surprised: "Brother Su, why didn't you come out until now?"

"what happened?"

Su Ming looked at Luo Xiao with a strange face.

"Do you know how long I've been waiting for you here?"

Before Su Ming could speak, Luo Xiao said in a low voice, "It's been half an hour!"

After speaking, he looked left and right, and pulled Su Ming out of the Mind Refining Pagoda quickly.

Get out of the refining tower.

Knowing that the other party had something to say, Su Ming quietly looked at Luo Xiao.

Sure enough, Luo Xiao said mysteriously: "Brother Su, do you know? If you insist on one more incense stick today, you will break the historical record of Yaoyuan Taoist Temple!"

Luo Xiaoyu was not surprised and said endlessly.

"Break the record?"

Su Ming looked at him in confusion.

"What do you think?"

Seeing Su Ming's nonchalant expression, Luo Xiao continued, "Brother Su, you won't survive the second test, right?"

Hearing this, Su Ming shook his head: "How is it possible? The pain of sawing bones is too terrifying. I only survived for less than a cup of tea before I became unconscious and retreated from the illusion."

"hiss!"

Luo Xiao gasped, "You actually lasted a cup of tea in the second level!"

Su Ming didn't quite understand, and asked with a strange expression, "Is it difficult to support a cup of tea in the second stage?"
