Chapter 16: Seven body refining!
With more than thirty thousand taels of silver, Luo Xiu once again came to the shop selling formation devices.
Because of hunting and fighting in the Shuiwu Mountains in recent days, Luo Xiu's clothes have been damaged in many places, and they are incompatible with the people in beautiful clothes who enter and exit this shop.
"The shopkeeper, give me a Tier 1 Spirit Gathering Array formation device." Luo Xiu said directly after entering the shop.
The middle-aged shopkeeper behind the counter was slightly startled, "I really want to buy it objectively? The first-order spirit gathering array, but it costs ten thousand taels of silver."
Obviously, the shopkeeper didn't think this ragged teenager could afford it.
Luo Xiu didn't say much, took out the silver ticket and threw it on the counter.
Seeing the thick stack of silver bills, the middle-aged shopkeeper suddenly smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes, wait for an objective, I'll get it for you."
After a while, the middle-aged shopkeeper came out with a delicate round wooden box and said, "Objectively, this is the first-order spiritual gathering formation you want."
When the wooden box is opened, there is a disc with complicated patterns printed on it. In the center of the disc, there is a card slot. In addition, there are simple instructions on the lid of the wooden box.
"Do you want to use the vitality stone to open it?" Luo Xiu frowned.
"Hehe, I probably don't know objectively, most auxiliary formation devices require vitality stones to open, only some combat-type formation devices are somewhat different." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
"Snapped!"
Luo Xiu took out another ten thousand taels of silver tickets and threw them on the counter, saying, "Do you have a vitality stone here? Give me a few pieces."
The middle-aged shopkeeper was overjoyed, and he didn't expect that the humble young man in front of him was so lavish, and he quickly ordered someone to fetch the vitality stone.
Soon, another wooden box arrived, containing twenty palm-sized round ore scattered with milky white halo.
Luo Xiu put his things away, and just about to leave, two people walked into the shop facing him.
The two are a man and a woman. The man is dressed in white. At first glance, he is the rich man, with a condescending arrogance between his brows.
The woman wore a blue dress, bright eyes and white teeth, attractive vermilion lips, slender figure and fair skin.
Seeing these two people, Luo Xiu was slightly startled, it was Liu Yuxin and Xu Fei.
"Luo Xiu?" Liu Yuxin was a little surprised when she saw him, because as far as she knew, Luo Xiu's condition was absolutely unable to afford any formation device in this shop.
"Hmph, the clothes are so broken, you dare to be embarrassed by coming here?" Xu Fei snorted coldly, with disdain on his face.
However, Luo Xiu ignored Xu Fei and walked past them and left the shop.
Seeing Luo Xiu dared to ignore him, Xu Fei's eyes were cold, "Stop me!"
"What's wrong with you?" Luo Xiu looked back, frowning, a little impatient.
"I was talking to you, didn't you hear?" Xu Fei said coldly.
"Why should I hear?" Luo Xiu smiled contemptuously, turned and left.
"Asshole!" Xu Fei was furious, but Luo Xiu had gone away, completely ignoring his meaning.
Xu Fei wanted to teach this poor boy who didn't know the heights of the earth, but Liu Yuxin was on the side. He wanted to maintain his demeanor, so he could only endure it.
"There is still half a month for the annual assessment. I want to see how you can be that Zhang Hai's opponent!"
...
After walking out of the formation shop, Luo Xiu went to the weapon shop again and sold Wang Yun's sword and Zhang Hun's bow and arrow, and he had more than eight hundred taels of silver in his hand.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Xiu went to the pill shop and spent fifteen thousand taels of silver to buy a bottle of Qi Yang Pill.
However, Luo Xiu did not return to Wudian, but walked out of Qingyun City and came to Shuiwu Mountain again.
There are beautiful mountains and clear waters, and there are many trees and plants. For Luo Xiu, it is more suitable for self-cultivation than in the Martial Hall.
Finding a secluded place, Luo Xiu sat cross-legged, first took out the disc device of the gathering spirit formation, and placed a vitality stone in the central groove. The lines engraved on it suddenly lit up, emitting a faint light. .
Luo Xiu could clearly sense that the nearby heaven and earth vitality seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force, and quickly converged towards his location.
This is the magical effect of the Spirit Gathering Array, which can condense the vitality of the heaven and the earth, and within a certain range, speed up the cultivation of the martial artist.
Luo Xiu immediately took out the Qi Yang Pill again, took one out and put it in his mouth, then closed his eyes, and performed the Yijin and Bone Forging Skill in the meridian orifices in his body.
The vitality of heaven and earth, the essence of vegetation, the power of medicine pill, a stream of pure internal qi is condensed in the body, turning into a bipolar qi of life and death, refined into the five internal organs.
Without knowing it, the sky dimmed, and Luo Xiu had been cultivating for a day.
Luo Xiu could clearly feel that his heart was beating more powerfully and the strength in his body was getting stronger.
boom!
A surging force emerged in his body, and Luo Xiu suddenly opened his eyes, his face beaming with joy.
"Successful, body refining seven!"
At this moment, the sky was a bit dark, Luo Xiu stood up and moved his muscles and bones, feeling that his strength had improved a lot.
Luo Xiu didn't expect that it only took a day to break through the seven-fold bottleneck of body refining. According to his knowledge, other people of the same age, especially those disciples of the aristocracy, had better cultivation conditions, but it would take half a year. , And even longer time can do this step.
"It should be the Life and Death Orb that has improved my body, and that's why my cultivation speed has multiplied countlessly." Luo Xiu thought.
In this practice, two Qi nourishing pills were consumed, and two vitality stones were consumed by the first-order spirit gathering formation, plus the plant essence absorbed by swallowing and vomiting. It would take at least several months for this power to be replaced by others. Time can be refined.
But Luo Xiu can refine in a very short time, so his cultivation level can improve so quickly.
Of course, in addition to the impact of the Life and Death Pearl on the body, the effect of his improved Yijin and Bone Strengthening Technique is even better than that of the third grade internal strength.
In the following time, Luo Xiu never returned to the Martial Hall, always practicing in the Shuiwu Mountains, going out hunting during the day, sharpening himself in the fight with monsters, and practicing hard at night.
Unconsciously, time passed quietly, Qingyun City Martial Hall, ushered in the annual assessment.
Students who reach the age of fourteen in the elementary class and seventeen in the intermediate class must undergo an assessment. If they pass the assessment, they will be promoted. If they fail the assessment, they must leave the temple.
On the vast martial arts arena, there were thousands of Wudian students gathered together, and they were talking in groups, talking and making noise.
On the three-meter-high competition stage, a table is placed in the center, and there is a crystal ball on the table.
This crystal ball is used to test the formation method of cultivation. As long as the inner Qi is poured into it, the crystal ball will emit light. According to the brightness of the light, the cultivation level can be roughly determined.
Many students who are about to undergo the assessment are uneasy. As for the students whose own strength meets the requirements, they are calm and composed.
Luo Xiu also rushed back from Shuiwu Mountain. First he went back to his residence and took a shower and changed into clean clothes. Then he came to the place of assessment.
For Luo Xiu, many Wudian students are naturally no strangers at all. It is said that as early as more than two months ago, he was already a five-fold cultivation base, and he could beat the students in the intermediate class. Passing this assessment is naturally not a problem. .
However, the battle between Zhang Hai and Luo Xiu was already known to everyone, so when they saw Luo Xiu walking by, many people started talking.
"This Luo Xiu is really courageous. Zhang Hai is a genius in the intermediate class. I heard that he was retired some time ago and he is already the eighth level of body refining!"
"Who would say no? Had it not been for Teacher Lu to protect Luo Xiu, Zhang Hai would have been crippled."
"I heard that Zhang Haixiu should be promoted to the advanced class in order to reach the eighth level of body refining, but he was not prepared to participate in this assessment in order to avenge his brother. He waited for Luo Xiu to be promoted to the intermediate class, and then severely taught him. ."
"This Luo Xiu has disappeared for a long time. I guess he should have been scared, so he hid."
For the vast majority of people, no one thinks that Luo Xiu can be Zhang Hai's opponent.
And Luo Xiu faced the surrounding discussion, ridicule, and questioning, but he was calm and relaxed, relaxed and cozy, and made people involuntarily curious. Doesn't this guy know that Zhang Hai is already capable of refining the body?
Body refining eightfold, already belonged to the top masters among Wudian students, and only a handful of people who reached the ninefold physical training were in the advanced class.
If you can break through the nine levels of body refining and promote Qihai to become a martial artist, you can directly graduate from the martial arts hall, and all forces in Qingyun City will rush to win.
"Quiet!" At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the martial arts field.
Everyone followed the prestige and saw a middle-aged man wearing a blue robe standing on the competition stage, scanning the surroundings, "Those who participated in this year's assessment, get out!"
Many Wudian students stopped talking and clamoring, including Luo Xiu, one after another walked out.
In the crowd behind, cold eyes stared at Luo Xiu's back.
"Brother, he passed the examination and is a student in the intermediate class. When you compete with him, Teacher Wu Dian will have no reason to stop me, you must help me teach him severely!" Zhang Hao gritted his teeth.
Whenever I think of myself being beaten up by a poor boy who has always looked down upon, Zhang Hao feels humiliated.
"Don't worry, I would rather not get promoted to the advanced class this time, and definitely help you get revenge!" Zhang Hai nodded and said.
Although it is said that Body Refining Eightfold is already eligible to enter the advanced class, Zhang Hai is only fifteen years old this year, and he is not in a hurry. Even with the background of Zhang's family, some of the benefits that can be enjoyed by the advanced class can be easily obtained.
The elder Wudian who presided over the assessment had a list in his hand, and said indifferently: "The first one, Yun Tong!"
"Yes!"
A girl from the junior class came out, boarded the martial arts stage, and placed her palm on the crystal ball.
"Om!"
Accompanied by a wave of tremors, the crystal ball bloomed with brilliant brilliance.
"Yun Tong, the fifth stage of body refining, passing the assessment, can be promoted to the intermediate class!" The elder in charge of the assessment smiled and nodded and announced.
Hearing the confirmation of the assessment elder, this girl named Yuntong breathed a sigh of relief, and there were many envy eyes in the audience, especially those who were not sure to pass the assessment.
Immediately afterwards, the assessment elder read out their names, and more than a dozen people went to the stage for the assessment, including elementary and intermediate classes, but only three people passed the assessment, and all the others were eliminated. Pack up things within three days and leave Wudian.
The rules set by Wudian are not difficult for some aristocratic children, but for students of civilian origin, there is almost no hope for reaching the fifth level of physical training at the age of fourteen and the eighth level of physical training at the age of 17.
Among the students in Wudian, civilians accounted for the majority.
For the same martial arts practice, there are differences in talents and aptitudes. There are only a few with extremely high talents. For civilian children, there may not be one that can pass the assessment in a few years.
As more and more people fail to pass the assessment, the atmosphere has become a little tense. Those students who failed the assessment can only cry with sad faces, while those disciples from aristocratic families who are not far away are divided into groups. Disdain, ridicule, and gloat.
"Next, Luo Xiu!" On the martial arts stage, the assessment elder said the name.
In an instant, countless eyes gathered on the boy in black.
Luo Xiu's name was a hit in the martial hall some time ago, and his cultivation soared to the fifth level of body refining in a short time. Even the students in the intermediate class were not his opponents.
Stepping onto the martial arts stage, Luo Xiu looked at the crowd below and saw Zhang Hai and Zhang Hao beside him. Behind the two brothers, Lu Feng and others were standing, looking at him. With coldness.
Especially that Zhang Hais gaze was filled with arrogant disdain and indifference. For him, who had already broken through to the eighth level of body refining, even if Luo Xiu could pass this test, he was destined to be abolished by himself and then Wudian expelled!
There was a sneer at the corner of Luo Xiu's mouth. He wanted to see what these guys would look like when they saw that their cultivation level had reached the seventh level of body refining?
He slowly raised his palm and placed it on the crystal ball, filling it with life and death.
"Om!..."
The bright light suddenly lit up, even more dazzling and eye-catching than the light caused by anyone before!
"Nine body refining?" The assessment elder stood up suddenly, his face full of glory, but then he returned to calm again, "Not the nine body refining, but the seventh body refining!"
