Chapter 12 Zhongpin Linggen, the small town is the master!
"I also need the Spirit Gathering Formation, okay?" Xiao Liu replied angrily, his face full of regret.
Chen Shen glanced at him, but didn't speak.
At the beginning of the third level of Qi training, it should have been digging mines for a few years, and was promoted from a handyman disciple.
Well, it doesn't matter, the highest talent of the Cangwu Immortal Sect is Jindan Zhenjun.
If I become a true king in another year, I will arrange a five-year spirit gathering array for Brother Xiaoliu!
The two ate for a while, and left after drinking and eating.
Two months later.
The storm of gathering spirits at the outer door subsided a few days after the incident, and the culprit could not be found out.
But a few incidents happened in the next month.
A disciple on the edge of Zhen Dao Peak who was not afraid of death imitated the great master of the Spirit Gathering Formation and sold the formation at a low price, but was caught on the spot. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖
There is no way, the outer disciples need to continue to do tasks for resources, and they are in danger of dying, while the inner disciples also have to fight for the benefits of resources.
It doesn't mean that after entering the inner sect, there will be a steady stream of resources waiting for distribution, everything must be won by strength.
Buying and selling magic circles also depends on ability, and those who have no ability will naturally take risks.
But after the first incident, the inner elite also became vigilant and placed a lot of eyeliner on the outer door to prevent this from happening.
But all of this has nothing to do with Chen Shen.
After two months of silent training, his cultivation base broke through again, reaching the fifth level of Qi training, and he practiced with the standard internal training, much faster than before, and he was only a hair away from breaking through to the sixth level.
The mysterious tortoise treasure body has been cultivated to the second level, and it can fight against the fourth-level Qi training monks with physical strength alone.
This is the result of him collecting corpses during the day and only entering the underground palace at night to practice.
Of course, this has something to do with his spiritual root talent.
After receiving the rewards for collecting corpses during this period, the spirit root successfully broke through from low-grade to middle-grade more than a month ago.
It can be said that he is no longer the bottom monk, no matter in terms of talent or strength.
The reward for collecting the corpse made him almost learn all the techniques and supernatural powers of the outer disciples, and gradually involved the four arts of the immortal sect.
Among them, the highest is the quasi-grandmaster level of alchemy, and the rest are the first glimpses.
Unfortunately, the body of the big man was not received. Chen Shen's strongest swordsmanship, the Four Seasons Swordsmanship, is still only two chapters in spring and summer.
There are only two sword techniques, but he has practiced to a small degree by himself, and his power has broken through a lot.
Chen Shen pushed open the door and went to the Xiaoliu's house opposite to have a banquet.
After getting along for more than two months, the two have become friends and often drink a few sips together.
It's not that Xiao Liu didn't want to come to Chen Shen's house for a reunion, but it's a pity that after he got lost in front of Chen Shen's house once, he never mentioned it again.
Afterwards, Chen Shen pushed everything to the dead Ma Ruhai.
At the wine table, two scholars chatted about everything, from the endless kingdom underground to the gods and Buddhas in the sky, from various schools of thought to princes and generals.
While chatting and chatting, we talked about Xiao Liu.
Chen Shen only knew that the other party was also a scholar before cultivating immortality, but he didn't know why he abandoned literature and went to martial arts.
Xiao Liu sighed: "Everyone usually calls me Xiao Liu, but I got this nickname because I am the sixth child in my family."
"My surname is Lu, my first name is Xiangru, and my name is Changqing. I am from a scholarly family in the Cang Kingdom. You should know this. We are also considered fellow villagers with similar family backgrounds." 𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝙣o𝙫𝗲𝚕.𝐜o𝓂
"The name is good." Chen Shen nodded sincerely. He already knew that the hometowns of the two were in Cang Kingdom, but this was the first time he heard Lu Changqing's real name.
"You have to accept both good and bad things from your parents." Lu Changqing smiled, and continued: "Before I cultivated immortality, I was originally a scholar with lofty aspirations, and I always wanted to make great achievements in the temple."
"I took the exam three times in total." He recalled the days when he studied hard in the cold window, and couldn't help feeling a little nostalgic:
"The first time was when I was seventeen years old. I passed the provincial examination, but unfortunately I failed in the general examination. The second time I didn't even pass the provincial examination."
"Heaven rewards hard work, Brother Lu, you should have the opportunity to be an official after passing the provincial examination. Why do you still have to take the exam?" Chen Shen didn't understand.
The ancient exams were much more difficult than the college entrance exams in the previous life. If it was him, he would have been admitted into the system after passing the rural exams. There is really no need to take the exams again.
"At that time, I was ambitious and always wanted to go to Beijing to face the saints, so I got into a dead end." Lu Changqing said with a smile.
"What about the third time?" Chen Shen asked.
Lu Changqing filled himself with wine, drank a cup, and sighed:
"The third time is the same as the first time. After all, I failed to get the title on the gold list. Later, I heard from a few friends that the officialdom has long been firmly controlled by those prominent families in the imperial city. They are the chief examiners. Being divided by those family children, even cheating in the exam, we foreign students are rarely admitted."
"Is that why you abandoned literature and pursued martial arts and turned to cultivating immortals?"
Lu Changqing shook his head: "If that's the case, I would be disappointed at most. After passing the provincial examination, I can still be a parent officer. However, on the day when the results were announced, we were out of balance and ridiculed those who cheated. was ridiculed."
He has memories on his face, he is not lost, but just feels a little ridiculous:
"I still remember that day, the chief examiner who gave us the exam ruthlessly satirized us, mocking us as sour talents from a small place, clowns who only know how to take exams in their lives, but fail."
"It's not the sarcasm of the prominent children who won the gold list, it's not the gloating of the enemy, but the chief examiner who represents the imperial court and is in charge of our exam!"
Chen Shen fell silent for a moment. He poured a glass of wine for Lu Changqing himself, and then respected him.
Lu Changqing waved his hand, indicating that everything was over, he had already seen it, and when he recalled it, he would only think that he was ridiculous.
After thinking for a while, he smiled: "Do you know why I was fined to collect my body at the Sky Burial Mountain?"
Without waiting for Chen Shen to ask further questions, he asked and answered by himself: "I have been digging mines in the mine below Cangwu Mountain for three years. All the examiners were killed, and then there was a riot in the imperial city."
"Don't say too much, I respect you!" Chen Shen was full of praise for the other party.
Time flies, another year of snowflakes falling.
Chen Shen built a big snowman in front of the attic.
He came to this world and stayed in Cangwu Xianzong for a year.
Growing from a crumbling frozen bone to the peak of the sixth level of Qi training, it can be said that he is invincible in the outer sect.
But he is not complacent because of this. There is still a long way to go, and he needs to be cautious in his words and deeds.
But the thing that gave Chen Shen a headache was that the resources were almost used up, and it was time to make money with pills.
Since the last time he traded the Juling Formation, he hasn't been out of the Sky Burial Mountain, but now he has to go to Fangshi.
"Junior Brother Chen, come and drink!" Lu Changqing shouted from his yard.
After the heart-to-heart talk, they became more familiar, and they knew everything without saying anything.
"No, I want to send a letter to my family!" Chen Shen shook his head and declined.
He has refined many batches of pills, and he is going to sell them while it is still early.
