[Cultivation] Asking for a sword

Zhengyang Sect is an overlord immortal sect entrenched in the Jueyun Mountains. It is one of the eight major sects of the Taoist sect in the Southern Wilderness Continent. Its influence governs dozens of countries around it, including the Yong Kingdom. Great reputation.

Even if such an awesome and messed-up Xianzong occupies the entire Yunyun Mountain Range, no sect would dare to say no.

But the Cloud Absolute Mountain Range is too big. Although the Zhengyang Sect has nearly [-] disciples, many peaks are still empty.

"You really want to join Zhengyang Sect." Gu Xi asked seriously.

"I only have the Immortal Ascension Order of the Zhengyang Sect in my hand, and my qualifications of the Four Spirit Roots cannot be found out by Yi Leigen, will other sects let me be an inner sect disciple as soon as I come in?"

Gu Xi coughed, he naturally understood the truth, but suddenly thought of one thing, in order to prevent Gu Cheng from getting mad, he wanted to make a tactful foreshadowing.

"Then let me tell you something. Zhengyangzong's disciples are generally divided into three types, direct disciples, inner disciples, and outer disciples, which basically correspond to three levels of cultivation, alchemy formation, foundation building, and Qi training."

"So the requirements for the first two are very high, and it is basically impossible for pseudo-spiritual roots to enter,"

Gu Cheng was a little strange: "I know, but the Ascension Order has nothing to do with qualifications."

Gu Xi began to persuade: "But Zhengyang Sect is one of the most powerful sects, do you think their mountain gate will be easy to find?"

Gu Cheng's eyes turned cold, he already understood what Gu Xi meant: "So?"

"Third level, you must have the third level of Qi training, otherwise you won't even be able to go up to the mountain gate of Zhengyangzong."

"..."

"Zhengyangzong will not go down the mountain to recruit disciples again for three years, so if you want to worship Zhengyangzong now, you can only go through the Climbing Path. , let's go home early, wash and sleep!"

"..." I knew this old bastard was unreliable.

Gu Cheng immediately grabbed the jade pendant and said viciously: "Then you quickly find a way for me, how can I repair to the third floor as quickly as possible?"

As for Gu Xi's method, it has always been that one, elixir.

So Gu Cheng had no choice but to practice on the road while letting Gu Xi borrow his body to refine the elixir. Basically, some of the medicinal materials he had spent a lot of hard work on the way were given to him for alchemy.

Fortunately, that old bastard's alchemy technique is finally reliable, in his own words, it is a pill at the level of Qi training stage, and it is not difficult at all.

Because of the problem of medicinal herbs, in the end, he could only refine two more practical pills. One was called Entraining Qi Pill, which could improve one's cultivation, and the other was Spiritual Rejuvenation Pill, which was used to restore mana.

However, when Gu Cheng arrived at the foot of the Zhengyang Zongmen, it was already two months later, and his cultivation had fulfilled his wish and reached the third level of Qi training.

It's just that not only the pills are also consumed, but the worst thing is that after walking in the deep forest for so long, his current image is not much different from that of a savage.

Although the exposed skin was fairly clean, the clothes on his body could not be summed up in tatters, the fabric was simply less than the beggar's clothes that were popular in his previous life.

After arriving here, all the people who appeared here were immortal cultivators with a certain level of cultivation. His savage attire was really quite weird.

Thanks to Gu Cheng's thick-skinned face, he pretended that he didn't have the right to look at other people's eyes. At the foot of Zhengyangzong Mountain, he entered the small city that was in charge of trading immortals, and he changed into a suit of suitable clothes. As for how he got it, I really want to thank Gu Xi for his alchemy, his elixirs are quite popular.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gu Cheng also prepared to take a good look around the market in this small city.

I chose one at random and walked in. The decoration inside is simple, the objects are neatly placed on the wooden shelf, and there is a layer of light film, which is obviously an enchantment. price.

The owner of the store is not young anymore, seeing the Qi training monks coming and going, he didn't mean to say hello at all, he just waited there for the customers to finish their selection and then pay for the spirit stones.

It was only after Gu Cheng asked Gu Xi that this grey-haired boss was actually a foundation-building monk, no wonder he was so honest with these qi-training disciples.

He stepped forward, took out the elixir refined by Gu Xi, and asked, "Are you taking the Entraining Qi Pill and Huiling Pill?"

The boss glanced at it casually and said: "Shut up, entraining qi pills, ten pills in a bottle, 60 yuan spirit stones, and returning spirit pills, 120 yuan spirit stones a bottle."

Gu Cheng nodded, the price was about the same as what he remembered, so he immediately replaced all the pills on his body with spirit stones, and got a total of 300 yuan.

Then he took a random look around the store.

Gu Cheng looked at a square handkerchief in front of him. It was a rare middle-grade protective spiritual weapon called Lingsipa. It cost 1000 Yuan of Lingshi, and it could resist the attacks of monks in the early stage of foundation establishment.

Flowing Flame Fan, 200 yuan Lingshi, a top-grade fire-attribute spiritual weapon, the style on it is extremely exquisite, and the fine-grained sword faintly has flames flowing.

The price of a general protective spirit weapon is much higher than the price of an attack spirit weapon even if the quality is the same, and it is still a hot item. Gu Cheng has already seen a female monk buy that spirit silk handkerchief.

The right side is full of materials, and the left side is the pill area.

Bigu Dan, 60 pills per bottle, [-] Yuan Lingshi.

Entraining Qi Pill, ten pills per bottle, 80 yuan Lingshi, suitable for monks in the Qi training period.

Nayuan Dan, ten pills per bottle, 150 spirit stones, suitable for monks above the seventh floor during the Qi training period.

Qi Gathering Pill, one grain, one hundred spirit stones, used to break through the realm in the later stage of Qi training.

Peiyuan Pill, ten pills per bottle, 300 yuan spirit stone, suitable for monks in the early stage of foundation establishment.

.....

Gu Cheng couldn't help sighing in his heart, there were many good things but the price was outrageous, he only bought some herbs and left quickly, lest he couldn't stand the temptation.

The next thing is to prepare to climb the mountain.

Although now is not the time to recruit disciples, but if the heart and perseverance are enough to pass the Ascension to Immortal Path, the school will still make an exception and recruit as outer disciples.

As long as Gu Cheng passes through the Immortal Path and sees the head of the Zhengyang Sect, he can directly become an outer disciple. Thinking about it, he is a little excited, haha.

But before he had taken a few steps, he heard someone calling from behind.

"This fellow Taoist, are you a disciple of the Zhengyang Sect?" The one who spoke was a young boy with red lips and white teeth, who looked a bit like a son of an aristocratic family.

"That's not true, the elders of the family asked me to come to apprentice." Gu Cheng began to lie without blinking his eyes.

The young man was stunned for a moment before he said: "But now is not the day for Zhengyang Sect to recruit disciples?"

Gu Cheng smiled: "That's why I have to come to this Immortal Path. I don't know why fellow Taoists are here?"

I didn't expect the young man to be admiring when he heard this sentence.

"Zhengyang Zong's Immortal Path is said to be the most test of heart and perseverance. Daoist friends dare to come here after practicing Qi on the third floor. Sure enough, they are very ambitious. You must know that I have not been able to climb up to the eighth floor of Qi training."

Gu Cheng was stunned for a moment, as if he knew something important again.

Immortal path, at least the third level of Qi training, and the eighth level of Qi training can't go up.

"I think I need an explanation!" Gu Cheng didn't want to be too irritable in front of outsiders, so he could only ask Gu Xi secretly.

Gu Xi was very straightforward: "I've said it all, it's a test of perseverance. Ask him how old he was when he practiced the eighth level of Qi?"

Gu Cheng looked at the young man carefully, his face was not deep in the world, obviously he had been well protected all the time, but his cultivation base Gu Xi said that he had reached the Great Perfection of Qi training, so when he practiced Qi at the eighth level, he was ten years old ?

Gu Cheng pretended to ask casually: "I don't know if you will be Gui Geng this year?"

"It will be fifteen in two months." The young man grinned his white teeth.

Gu Cheng was a little depressed. With such aptitude, it would be great if he was the one possessed by him.

"What's the matter with the third level of Qi training?"

"Let you have enough physical strength to climb up the mountain, so that you won't faint halfway and be regarded as giving up."

Makes sense...

Gu Cheng didn't want to pay attention to Gu Xi, so he calmly extracted a lot of things from the young man, for example, the young man's name was Xue Yang, he was from the Lanhai sect, and this time he came here to send a letter to the senior officials of Zhengyang sect.

Along the way, Gu Cheng obviously felt that the aura around him was getting stronger and stronger.

Xue Yang was not surprised: "Because of the spiritual vein." He pointed to his feet.

"This place is called Yuji Mountain, and there is a top-grade spiritual vein underneath. Only the top-quality spiritual vein can produce the top-quality spiritual stones. That is a treasure that even 1 yuan of low-level spiritual stones can't be exchanged for!"

Gu Cheng is also aware of the value of top-quality spirit stones, not only can quickly restore mana, but also the energy source of various top-level formations, which are extremely useful.

"Because the mountain gate of the Zhengyang Sect has such a spiritual vein, the nearly [-] peaks in its central area are the places with the most abundant spiritual energy, and they are only for people living in the sect's true disciples and above."

When he said this, yearning came out in his voice.

Gu Chengkou said incredulously: "With your aptitude, Fellow Daoist Xue, maybe you will be one of the true disciples in a few decades."

Xue Yang smiled wryly: "Although I am a heavenly spirit root, how can my cultivation be determined entirely by my aptitude, and it also depends on chance."

Gu Cheng curled his lips, how can you let someone with poor qualifications like me live like this?

The two chatted all the way, and it seemed as if they had known each other for many years, but when they actually arrived at Shengxian Path, they had to separate.

After all, Gu Cheng still has to test, but Xue Yang has already experienced the test of Ascension to Immortal Path, and he came here to deliver the letter, so he doesn't need to walk again, he can go up directly.

"Then Daoist Gu, I'll take a step first, and we will meet again when we are destined."

Gu Cheng watched him leave, and then asked Gu Xi: "What kind of tests will this road have?"

He no longer dared to believe Gu Xi's words casually. Although he said at the time that he could go up easily, but he always felt that if he really believed in Gu Xi completely, he would probably be the one who cried at that time.

really.

"How do I know? I'm not a monk of Zhengyangzong, how could I know what kind of phantom array they put here."

After hearing this, Gu Cheng felt that he wasn't surprised at all. Did he really get used to it?

"We are now grasshoppers on the same rope. If something happens to me, you should prepare to be buried with me!" Gu Cheng finished his harsh words, and walked straight up the Immortal Path.
