Chapter 1909 Pill as the Foundation
The book was not long, and there were no more than a thousand words in it. It took Xu Yi more than a hundred breaths to read them all and memorize them all.
Just as he expected, the trial disciples were called disciples, but they could not be counted as real disciples and could only be included in the pre-selection list.
Because only by becoming an outer sect disciple can one be granted skills and share the sect's resources.
Without these two most striking characteristics, a probationary disciple cannot be considered a true disciple at all.
Compared to the outer disciples, the trial disciples have to accept onerous sect tasks. The most important task is to go to the Qitian Valley to collect indigo grass and supply it to the sect.
In addition, except for the first year, which is free for the cave where you live, you need to pay the rent of three Yuandan every year.
The most important point is that if you are not allowed to become an outer disciple within ten years, your status as a trial disciple will be revoked and you will be expelled from the sect.
And he will never have the chance to join a sect with the Immortal Ascension Order.
Xu Yi's expectations for the sect were not in the techniques, but in the path of improvement in his own practice.
At this stage, what he is most concerned about is whether he can successfully enter the spiritual root realm. This step has taken him to a big realm. Of course, when a tall building rises from the ground, the top priority is for him to integrate into his current life and learn how to be a qualified trial disciple.
Putting down the book, Xu Yi began to clean up what he had learned from his trip to the trial ground.
After a brief inventory, the total number of confiscated storage rings was more than 150, and the number of Ascension Orders was 63.
Among the storage bracelets, only nearly 600 Yuan Dan and more than 20 Spirit-Building Pills could catch his eye.
In addition, there are some potions and precious medicines, which are also useful.
Of course, in addition to the above, there are also the notes and classics that Xu Yi valued most. When compiled, there are more than a hundred texts.
After counting, Xu Yi discovered an interesting pattern. He didn't find a weapon or a piece of raw material for forging weapons among so many storage rings.
Looking back carefully, during the battle with the hunters, he didn't find anyone holding a weapon.
With this question in mind, Xu Yi began to read through the classics.
Soon, he found the answer in a notebook.
This is a practice diary that records a monk's practice process from the first level of spiritual cultivation to the Great Perfection.
The specific cultivation process was completely different from what Xu Yi had experienced.
Due to the abundant spiritual energy here, practice is extremely smooth. Some children even have strong souls as soon as they are born, and some Qi seas open up on their own, blocking the natural chasm of countless monks in the world of Dai Viet. Maybe they are born here. It will automatically cross over.
Apart from sighing a little, Xu Yi didn't dwell too much on these minutiae.
Soon, he saw the answer he wanted to know. The monk named Wang Jiangkun said this to himself, "After entering the Great Perfection of Spirit Cultivation, I realized that my ancestor once said that spiritual energy enters the body and all things take form. The body is the best weapon. It's not enough to train this body, so why worry about others. This is called the truth. Of course, my master also said that there are important treasures in the world that can be borrowed to cross rivers, but these treasures are so elusive and difficult to find. Instead of trying your best to obtain the unpredictable treasure, it is better to practice sincerely and strive to be stronger than yourself."
This paragraph may seem confusing, but it actually completely cleared up Xu Yi's doubts.
The monks he encountered did not use weapons, but chose to give up weapons after entering the Great Perfection of Spiritual Cultivation.
Because after entering this realm, spiritual energy enters the body and can transform into thousands of shapes and gather into weapons, which are much more powerful than previous weapons.
Therefore, after reaching this stage, everyone basically abandoned weapons and modified themselves.
Of course, not using weapons is not absolute, but good magical weapons and valuable treasures are too difficult to find and obtain.
After figuring this out, Xu Yi continued to flip through the classics, starting from the setting sun in the west and turning white in the east.
He had basically scanned through hundreds of classics. Some of them dealt with exercises and some with secret techniques, but the ones that were talked about the most were elixirs.
It seemed that everyone was a pharmacologist, and everyone was pursuing the advancement of alchemy. A new and unique world of practice slowly opened its door to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi covered his head and pondered for a long time, and finally figured out the reason.
The shortcoming of cultivation here is not spiritual energy. It’s not surprising that spiritual stones have become worthless.
Abundant spiritual energy will naturally promote the prosperity of the cultivation civilization here. A prosperous civilization will naturally move towards making tricks involuntarily, just like the various technological revolutions he experienced in his previous life.
The trick here is the prosperity of the elixir civilization.
Take Yuan Dan for example. Without this elixir, a monk's body refining can easily enter a bottleneck period.
Just like the world of the Northern Holy Court, those who are strong in the late stage of soul sensing have almost no way to continue to train their bodies.
But with Yuan Dan, the bottleneck of body refining is not only easily broken, but body refining itself also becomes extremely easy.
But behind the simplicity, Yuan Dan is extremely precious.
Before Linggen, Yuan Dan was almost the most important elixir for monks in the spiritual cultivation stage.
Especially in the impact of the spiritual root realm, in addition to Xu Yi's spiritual energy being completely transformed into gold, the dosage of Yuan Dan also plays an extremely critical role.
Taking a large amount of Yuan Dan will definitely make the body extremely tough. The more pure the body training is, the greater the certainty of hitting the spiritual root realm.
From this Yuan Dan, you can know how important elixirs are to a monk's practice.
Xu Yi even read this sentence from an ancient monk in a classic: As long as there are enough elixirs, even a pig can be piled up for a long time.
The prosperity of the elixir civilization has naturally led to the prosperity of the alchemy industry. Whether it is a high-level monk or a grassroots monk, everyone is crowded into the alchemy industry.
the reason is simple.
First, the huge demand has caused elixirs to always be in a state of extreme scarcity.
Between the two, the profit in the process of elixirs from medicinal materials to finished elixirs is so great that everyone can't help but be tempted.
Among the three, once a certain kind of elixir can be successfully refined, a monk can easily get rid of abject poverty. No matter which force he joins, a generous salary is inevitable.
Fourth, and most importantly, the threshold for refining elixirs is not high. No matter who it is, anyone dares to get some medicinal materials, ask for some elixir prescriptions, and try it out. Regardless of success or failure, it is always an experience that will last. Going down, there are indeed many monks who were originally not very high in cultivation and have taken this path.
As a result, it caused even greater irritation to other monks.
In short, this is an era where all monks are refining alchemy.
There is even a saying in the cultivation world: a great alchemist must be a great monk, and a great monk must be a great alchemist.
It can be seen that elixirs are the cornerstone of this cultivation world.
"Looks like I have to change my career again. I'm sorry for my hard training in talismans."
Xu Yi sighed, took out a Yuan Dan, looked at it for a long time, and swallowed it in his mouth.
