I rely on length to cultivate immortality

Wang Long sent Li Xiuchang outside the inner gate and left first.

The inner door and the outer door are separated by a high wall. As soon as Li Xiuchang entered the inner door, his intuitive feeling was that it became deserted.

There were fewer people in the inner gate and it was not as lively as the outer gate. Li Xiuchang walked all the way to Senior Brother Song Yu's residence, not seeing many passers-by along the way.

Contrary to what Li Xiuchang thought, the houses where the inner disciples lived were not as big as those of the outer disciples.

But it's quieter and more spiritual.

Li Xiuchang knocked on the door of Senior Brother Song Yu's room. After a moment, Senior Brother Song Yu opened the door and welcomed Li Xiuchang in.

Senior Brother Song Yu's residence didn't even have a yard, and the house only had one floor. Li Xiuchang entered it and found that the interior could be described as "a family with four walls."

It seems that the inner disciples all live like ascetic monks.

The house was so shabby that only aura remained.

"Have you gotten used to being in the sect these past two days?" Senior Brother Song Yu asked proactively.

Li Xiuchang nodded: "All the senior brothers and sisters are very enthusiastic. It feels like going home."

"That's good." Song Yu looked Li Xiuchang up and down, "I think you have already cultivated yourself, and you must have gathered your magic power. Are you here this time to choose to cultivate immortality and a hundred arts?"

Li Xiuchang smiled bitterly and said: "This matter is secondary. The main reason why I came to see Senior Brother Song this time is that there is a problem with my cultivation."

Senior Brother Song Yu immediately showed concern.

Next, Li Xiuchang told the story of how he cultivated charcoal magic power, and also demonstrated the effect of charcoal magic power in making fire.

Senior Brother Song Yu waved his hand to disperse the smoke in the room. Looking at the black mana at Li Xiuchang's fingertips, he pondered for a moment and said:

"There are many people who practice "Burning Fire Technique", but I have never heard of anyone practicing black magic power.

"You don't have to worry too much. This is probably just a kind of magic with special properties. It might be good for you."

The world of immortality classifies all attributes other than the five elements into special attributes.

The more common ones include Yang attributes, thunder attributes, wind attributes, and ice attributes, as well as blood attributes, Yin attributes, etc. that are common in magic cultivators.

Monks rely on special skills or special physiques to develop magic powers with special attributes.

But Song Yu had never heard of Li Xiuchang's charcoal magic power.

"Most of the special attribute mana has its own uniqueness compared to the five elements attribute mana. This charcoal attribute mana can make both fire and smoke, and it is also slightly toxic. It has various functions and unlimited potential. It should not be weak. .

"However, since there is no previous experience for reference, you need to explore and develop the method of using this charcoal magic power by yourself."

Senior Brother Song Yu explained the pros and cons, which gave Li Xiuchang some confidence.

As long as it does not affect his own cultivation, Li Xiuchang can accept it. As for the use and development of magic power, he can take his time.

Next, the two talked about cultivating immortals and various arts.

"How much does Junior Brother Li know about the various arts of cultivating immortals?" Song Yu asked.

"All I know comes from the introduction in the "Getting Started Guide"." Li Xiuchang answered truthfully.

Song Yu pondered for a moment, took out a book from his storage bag and handed it to Li Xiuchang: "This book has a general introduction to the various arts of cultivating immortals. Take a look first to see if there is anything you are particularly interested in.

"Interest is the best teacher. If you are interested in a skill, you will be more motivated to practice it in the future."

Li Xiuchang was embarrassed to take up too much of Senior Brother Song Yu's time and quickly flipped through the book.

Alchemy is the first among hundreds of arts of cultivating immortality, and one of the five arts of cultivating immortality...

Weapon refining is one of the five skills of cultivating immortals. It is easy to get started, easy to learn but difficult to master...

Talisman making is one of the five skills of cultivating immortals. The cost of practicing is low and the threshold is low. Effort is greater than talent. Diligent practice will definitely pay off...

Formation is one of the five secrets of cultivating immortals. It emphasizes inheritance, must have a good teacher to guide the way, and emphasizes understanding. Those with dull thinking should choose with caution...

Hexagram technique is one of the five skills of cultivating immortals. Those without talent are not allowed to start. Those who practice this technique need to have a calm mind and be careful in their words and deeds, otherwise it will be a disaster...

The so-called five arts of cultivating immortals refer to the five most popular or valuable skills among the hundreds of arts of cultivating immortals, namely pills, utensils, talismans, formations, and hexagrams.

If I had to pick one number one among the five skills of cultivating immortals, it would undoubtedly be alchemy.

Alchemy is recognized as the first among the hundred arts of cultivating immortality.

Although other utensils, talismans, arrays, and hexagrams are important, they are not indispensable. Only elixirs, as long as they are monks, they will definitely have a need for elixirs.

Hexagram technique is recognized as the least popular among the five skills of cultivating immortals. It can be regarded as an "unpopular favorite". When it is mentioned, everyone knows about it. When asked, no one has seen it very often.

Because the threshold is too high, most monks cannot learn it even if they want to.

Learning crafts naturally gave priority to popular ones, and Li Xiuchang also gave priority to cultivating the Five Arts of Immortality.

Taking advantage of Senior Brother Gui's experience, Li Xiuchang excluded the hexagram technique from the beginning.

Formation emphasizes understanding. Li Xiuchang didn't know how good his understanding was, and it was difficult for formation and talisman to take advantage of his "length plug-in".

Therefore, Li Xiuchang prefers elixir refining and weapon refining.

For alchemy, he can directly increase the length of those elixirs and herbs; for weapon refining, he can use the method of turning gold leaves into gold bricks to increase the materials for refining the weapon.

Li Xiuchang's only worry is that for a skill that is too popular, competition will inevitably be fierce.

There are countless alchemists and weapon refiners in the entire outer sect. Are they already saturated?

He didn't want to start a book with his classmates as soon as he got up.

Li Xiuchang's concerns were quickly confirmed by Senior Brother Song Yu.

"The competition for popular skills is indeed fierce, especially Talisman Dao. Because the entry barrier is low and there are almost no requirements for talent, this has led to the proliferation of first-level Talisman masters, and the price of first-level Talisman is constantly falling. If the success rate of making Talisman is not high enough, it will be sold at market price First-level talismans are completely unprofitable.

"Many first-level talisman masters cannot make money by making talismans, so they can only find other ways to earn spiritual stones, such as joining the reception office and helping the sect to introduce new disciples. It is said that some people fly flying boats to carry new disciples. Earn spiritual stones."

Li Xiuchang fell into silence after hearing this. He did not expect that the Talisman Master would be involved in this situation.

Senior Brother Song Yu said with a smile: "Actually, if you are proficient in skills, you don't have to worry about these. Even if you are a Talisman Master, as long as you become the second level, there will be no such big competition. From the first level to the second level, more than nine people can be screened out. A successful Talisman Master.”

"What about the situation of alchemists and weapon refiners?" Li Xiuchang asked,

Senior Brother Song Yu replied: "The number of alchemists is not much greater than that of talisman masters. Fortunately, the demand for elixirs is large, and the threshold for becoming an alchemist is much higher than that of becoming a talisman master. It is difficult for casual cultivators to get started, so the situation of alchemists is Much better than Talisman Master.

"It is easy to learn and master weapon refining. First-level weapon refiners are abundant and second-level weapon refiners are scarce. No one cares about first-level weapon refiners. Second-level weapon refiners and above are in great demand.

"But we, the disciples of the Immortal Dust Sect, have the largest market north of the Immortal Shadow with our backing to the sect. We can attract countless casual cultivators every day. No matter how many pills and magic weapons they have, they can all be digested. Losing money is nothing more than making more money and making less money.

"Of course, except for the talismans, all the casual cultivators are talisman masters!"
