Chapter 2 Mastering the Green Waves Technique, Casual Cultivator Chu He
Chapter 2 Mastering the Green Waves Technique, Casual Cultivator Chu He
【Name: Wei Zhong】
[Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 56 (%)]
[Kung Fu: Aquamarine Kung Fu·Mastery (1%)]
【Shouyuan: 127/137】
The days of cultivation are always boring. For some time after the death of his evil disciple, Wei Zhong had been farming and practicing peacefully in order to avoid being suspected.
Now the Bilang Kung Fu has reached the mastery level.
The speed of operation has increased a lot compared to before, and the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy has also increased by several percent. Looking at the ten points of proficiency increase in his cultivation, Wei Zhong was happy.
In this way, within ten years, he would be able to return to the eighth level of Qi Refining, which would even be much higher than the original 46% progress.
If I were to downgrade one more level, wouldn't I have another ten years to live? With this kind of nesting dolls, wouldn't my life span be endless?
Wei Zhong seemed to have found the highlight.
With full of joy, he started practicing again.
In the following six years, Wei Zhongan farmed and practiced peacefully.
Occasionally, some descendants of the Yan family came to become Wei Zhong's disciples, but they were all politely rejected by Wei Zhong.
It seemed that seeing Wei Zhong's firm attitude, gradually no one came to visit him.
"call!"
Wei Zhong let out a breath of foul air.
He looked at the panel with a look of joy.
【Name: Wei Zhong】
[Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 46 (%)]
[Kung Fu: Aquamarine Kung Fu·Mastery (30%)]
【Shouyuan: 133/137】
At this time, I finally returned to the state at the beginning of the time travel, and the progress of the eighth level of Qi Refining was also 46%.
The difference from before is that he is no longer an old man with only three days to live.
Instead, he was an eighth-level Qi Refining cultivator with a lifespan of four years.
And there is a good chance that he will reach the ninth level of Qi Refining in the remaining four years.
The mastery level of Bilang Gong has greatly improved his training speed. What would it be like if he could improve it to the master level?
Actually, the Bilang Gong is just a common yellow-grade martial art. If we talk about the grade, it is just middle-grade, and can be cultivated to the middle stage of foundation building at most.
Now, after Wei Zhong's day and night practice, the speed of mastering the Bilang Gong Theory is no weaker than that of the upper-grade Huang-level Gong Theory. It's just that the upper limit is lacking.
If one reaches the master level, wouldn't the speed of cultivation be comparable to that of the Xuan-level techniques?
"Bah!"
Wei Zhong's heart was excited.
As a casual cultivator, I dare not even think about learning the mysterious level skills.
Wei Zhong had only seen it at an auction once. That time it was a fire-attributed lower-grade Xuan-level martial arts technique called "Fire Wheel Kung Fu".
Once it was auctioned, it reached a high price of two thousand spirit stones.
An ordinary casual cultivator could earn less than a hundred spirit stones in a year of farming, and a set of skills would require a casual cultivator to accumulate spirit stones for more than twenty years without practicing.
This shows how expensive the Xuan-level skills are.
Having achieved success in his practice, Wei Zhong was in a good mood. He walked out of the yard and went to the fields.
From a distance, I saw an old man and a young boy walking towards this side.
"Strange, no one has come to visit in recent years, why is today an exception?"
In the distance, Yan Wenbo said to the young man next to him:
"Yan Yuan, that person's residence is ahead."
The young man looked at the small courtyard in the distance, feeling a little surprised. My uncle said he would bring me to see a master, but unexpectedly it turned out to be the spiritual farmer in this field.
"Don't look at this person as just a spiritual farmer, he is quite talented in magic. He has already mastered the magic of spiritual rain. Looking at all the spiritual farmers in my Yan family, no one can compare with him.
The clan leader once said that this person's spiritual rain technique is already as good as that of a master. If you can learn a few skills from him, it will be of great help to your future spiritual cultivation journey."
Yan Yuan nodded.
······
"Friend Wei, I haven't seen you for a while. You look much better."
Wei Zhong looked at the old man in front of him, who was Yan Wenbo, the Yan family's steward who was in charge of leasing spiritual fields. As old spiritual farmers of the Yan family, the two had greeted each other for decades and were considered familiar with each other.
"It's just to cure some old illnesses," he then looked at the young man beside him, "I wonder why you came here today?"
Yan Wenbo patted Yan Yuan on the shoulder, and the latter immediately bowed and saluted with a fist: "Greetings, Mr. Wei."
"This time, I want to take my junior Yan Yuan to become your disciple."
Wei Zhong shook his head: "Brother Yan, you know that I don't accept disciples."
Yan Wenbo was not surprised and continued:
"Then how about not having the master-disciple relationship, but teaching him the art? The boy is quite talented in nurturing spirits, so you just need to teach him the art of spiritual rain."
'Yuling?'
Wei Zhong had heard that people of this kind were the upgraded version of spiritual farmers, responsible for the cultivation and care of spiritual medicines in the family.
I didn't expect that the young man in front of me had such talent.
After hesitating for a moment, Wei Zhong agreed.
Yan Wenbo is the manager of the Yan family who is in charge of the leasing of spiritual fields and should not be offended easily.
What's more, he also paid ten spirit stones as a deposit, and there would be a balance if the teaching was good. Why wouldn't Wei Zhong do it?
After some greetings, Yan Wenbo left, leaving Yan Yuan alone.
Wei Zhong took him into the fields, pointed at the spiritual fields and began to perform spells and explain.
"The art of spiritual rain is a technique that uses rain to capture the spiritual energy floating in the air and bring it down to the spiritual field. Therefore, gathering water vapor is one, and capturing spiritual energy is two..." After the explanation, it was time to put it into practice. Looking at Yan Yuan bringing down the spiritual rain for his spiritual field, Wei Zhong felt quite at ease holding a cup of hot tea.
He can also save spiritual energy to practice more spells. While improving his cultivation, Wei Zhong did not give up his own advantages.
"No, you only paid attention to gathering the water vapor here, but forgot to capture the spiritual energy. Even if the spiritual energy here is exhausted, why is the spiritual rain technique restricted to this place? Expanding the range of capturing spiritual energy is..."
After some instruction, Yan Yuan's Spiritual Rain Technique has already taken shape.
In this way, Yan Yuan spent three months practicing and teaching magic. He left with success, and Yan Wenbo paid the balance of ten spirit stones.
"Thank you, Brother Wei, for your guidance these days."
Wei Zhong took the spirit stone and said, "Brother Yan, you are too polite."
After taking a look at Wei Zhonghua's graying hair, Yan Wenbo said:
"Fellow Daoist, do you know that my Yan Family Market will hold an auction soon? It is said that there will be longevity pills appearing this time."
"Auction, longevity pills!"
Wei Zhong immediately understood and clenched his fist to express his gratitude:
"Thank you, Brother Yan, for tipping me off in advance. I will prepare well."
Wei Zhong had participated in the Yan family's auction many years ago, but due to his limited wealth, he was unable to buy anything good. Now there is another auction.
Wei Zhong was not interested in the longevity pill. With his wealth, it was still uncertain whether he could bid for one.
Even if he took the photo, he would probably lose everything. Besides, with the ability to trade downgrade for life span, the longevity pill was of no importance to him.
Perhaps Yan Wenbo thought that his life was coming to an end and he was very eager for the elixir of longevity.
"Brother Wei, you don't have to be polite. Given our friendship over the years, I am only revealing some rumors. But what you said is true, and we need to prepare well.
This auction is of a large scale. Not only are there cultivators from our Yan family and even casual cultivators from the surrounding areas participating, but we have also invited the two major families, the Li family and the Chen family."
"Oh?"
"The more people participate in the auction, the harder it will be to get the items you want. And this time there are people from other families participating. Could it be that the Yan family will auction off something that will tempt even the other two families?"
Wei Zhong did not ask any further questions. Yan Wenbo had already done his best by notifying him in advance, and it would be impolite to ask further questions.
After sending Yan Wenbo away, Wei Zhong looked at the beams and fell into deep thought.
It’s rare for the Yan family to hold an auction, and I can’t miss it.
I have to go out and exchange the items in my hand for some spirit stones.
He didn't dare to sell it in Yan's Market, fearing that someone would notice his intention. Wei Zhong decided to go to the outside world's market for casual cultivators.
After packing up his things, Wei Zhong left the Yan family's sphere of influence.
It suddenly transformed into a completely different appearance.
Disguise: Mastery (70%).
This technique is just a minor technique circulating in the martial arts world and cannot be considered as a magical technique, but Wei Zhong has practiced it to the point of mastery.
With his bones transformed and his own spiritual power concealed, ordinary Qi-refining cultivators could not see his true appearance at all.
In this way, the independent cultivator Chu He returned to the world.
Facing the stream, one can vaguely make out the appearance of a middle-aged man with a scar on his face, which makes him look somewhat ferocious.
This was the secret identity of his predecessor Wei Zhong, who was at the eighth level of Qi Refining and was quite famous among the casual cultivators.
Wei Zhong arrived at the gathering place of independent cultivators called Ruyuefang City with ease.
This market town is located in a blank area between the three major family forces and is jointly run by three cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Ordinary people don't know why, but this market town of considerable size was not suppressed by the three major families. Instead, the three major families moved in with their own shops.
Some people among the casual cultivators speculated that the three casual cultivators had backgrounds in the three major families and were aliases of the three major families.
However, Wei Zhong knew that this statement was completely false.
It was because Wei Zhong had dealt with those three monks before and learned that they came from a sect thousands of miles away: Qingmu Sect.
The Qingmu Sect is a large sect that has Jindan cultivators, and is much stronger than the Yan family, which only has foundation-building cultivators.
It has existed in the local area for nearly a thousand years and is a leading force.
This is also one of the reasons why Wei Zhong came here to deal with the stolen goods.
Walk straight to Zaling Pavilion, the largest shop in the market.
As the name suggests, this is a shop that buys and sells all kinds of spiritual objects. It is very powerful and does not ask about their origins.
After finding the shop owner, Wei Zhong handed over the storage bag.
The latter chuckled: "Brother Chu, you have run into an ignorant fellow again!"
Wei Zhong nodded. The strength of the independent cultivator Chu He was well-known in the Ruyue Market. His combat power was close to the ninth level of Qi Refining, and he even became friends with the three owners of the market.
Who would dare to provoke him in this case? Only the blind robber.
After sipping the magical tea in the store for a short while, the shop owner had already returned.
"The items in the two storage bags that Brother Chu brought were quite messy, so it took a little longer to count them."
Wei Zhong indicated that it was okay.
"All the items together are worth 372 spirit stones. Do you think that's appropriate, Brother Chu?"
Wei Zhong nodded. The good things in the two storage bags had been put into his pockets. What was left were only some miscellaneous items that were of little use to him and had limited value.
After putting away the spirit stone, Wei Zhong was about to leave when he turned around and asked:
"I wonder how much this top-grade Qi-nourishing Pill costs?"
"One bottle costs two hundred spirit stones, a total of ten pills. If Brother Chu buys it, you can get a discount of one or two."
"Have a bottle."
"One hundred and ninety spirit stones for your help."
"Brother Chu, take care!"
