Chapter 23: Spells

*Whoosh... *

The wild wind rolled the chaotic snow, constantly whipping at He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng was only wearing a thin layer of clothing, but he felt nothing in this freezing cold.

They say the early Qi Condensation Stage is no different from mortals, but that's not true.

Entering the Qi Condensation Stage is very different from ordinary people.

For example, not fearing the cold, not easily going hungry or cold, not easily getting sick, etc.

"Rise..."

On the hillside, He Pingsheng could often jump several feet high with a single leap.

So walking on the mountain in windy and snowy weather was still like walking on flat ground.

Let's put it this way, if he were asked to go to Xiuzhu Peak to do the water-carrying work now, twenty trips a day, he could finish it in at most one hour.

The difference was just that big.

A pot of burnt wine, a few stacks of paper money!

Three sticks of clear incense!

After finishing the sacrifices for his parents and Wang Shixiong Hao respectively, He Pingsheng walked down the mountain slowly.

He didn't return directly to his small courtyard, but walked towards the tall main hall on the other side of the river.

Outer Sect Main Hall.

Although it was a snowy day, people were coming and going endlessly, and no one really paid attention to He Pingsheng's cultivation.

He Pingsheng walked slowly into the main hall and looked left and right.

On the screen on the left, an eye-catching piece of information flickered into his pupils.

"Xiuzhu Peak alchemy room urgently needs one alchemy boy, cultivation not limited, 200 contribution points per month. Everyone don't worry, there will absolutely be no bullying of the alchemy boy!"

He Pingsheng's eyebrows twitched slightly.

Good heavens, Xiuzhu Peak still hasn't found an alchemy boy?

Thinking about it, it was understandable.

The Tai Xu Men is very large, but not that large; what happens on which peak quickly spreads to the outer sect.

Hao Yun's tragic death would inevitably give countless outer sect disciples a warning.

Compared to life, what are these mere two hundred contribution points?

Of course, judging from the remarks after the message, Xiuzhu Peak hadn't found an alchemy boy for more than half a year, so they were probably really anxious now.

*Hehe... *

He Pingsheng smiled coldly, left the array light film on the left, and came to the counter in the middle of the main hall.

There were more than a dozen people handling miscellaneous affairs for outer sect disciples, and He Pingsheng didn't look for the one from last time, but changed to another place.

"Senior brother... I want to buy some spiritual rice!"

He Pingsheng didn't want to eat that ordinary rice anymore.

Spiritual rice is of great benefit to a cultivator's practice.

"Okay!" The cultivator took He Pingsheng's card and looked at it, saying: "Which kind of spiritual rice does this junior brother want to buy? There are top-tier, mid-tier, and low-tier!"

He Pingsheng didn't even think about it and said: "Let's have low-tier!"

He didn't need to buy high-quality ones.

Because with the existence of the Treasure Basin, no matter what the quality, putting it inside could turn it into top-tier.

"Oh..." The cultivator said: "Low-tier spiritual rice, one contribution point per catty, how much do you need?"

He Pingsheng said: "Give me two hundred catties first!"

Two hundred catties, that's two hundred points!

This stuff is much more expensive than ordinary rice.

Ordinary rice, two hundred catties would only be two or three contribution points.

"Okay!" The cultivator handed He Pingsheng a paper card for picking up goods and said: "Take this paper card and go to the warehouse to pick up the spiritual rice!"

"Thank you!" He Pingsheng took the paper card very politely.

The disciple said: "Junior brother is at the Qi Condensation Stage third layer cultivation, right? Actually, you can consider going to Fenfen Mountain to do some tasks. If you catch spiritual beasts or pick spiritual herbs, you can bring them back to the sect to exchange for contribution points!"

"Now that the heavy snow has sealed the mountains, many spiritual beasts have nowhere to hide; it's a good time to catch spiritual beasts!"

"Look... there are related tasks on the array board over there!"

The person pointed to the array board.

He Pingsheng said: "Okay, senior brother!"

After leaving the counter and picking up the spiritual rice, He Pingsheng bought some daily small items and returned directly to his small courtyard.

Do tasks?

I still have so many contribution points, why do tasks?

Isn't practicing better?

Let's raise my cultivation first.

He Pingsheng decided that this time he would go into seclusion and break through directly to the Qi Condensation Stage fourth layer.

Won't come out of seclusion until the fourth layer.

Just now in the main hall, the reason that cultivator could see through He Pingsheng's Qi Condensation Stage third layer cultivation at a glance was because his spiritual sense could be released; one thought swept out, and nothing could hide.

But He Pingsheng couldn't.

Because to release spiritual sense, this cultivation must break through from the early Qi Condensation Stage to the middle Qi Condensation Stage.

That is to say, the fourth layer.

Qi Condensation Stage, first, second, and third layers are called the early stage.

Fourth, fifth, and sixth layers are the middle stage.

Seventh, eighth, and ninth layers are the late stage.

And the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth layers are called the Perfection Stage.

So to release spiritual sense, you must reach at least the fourth layer.

And after releasing spiritual sense, besides being able to use spiritual sense to scan the surroundings and other people's cultivation, there is another huge benefit: practicing spells.

Only after spiritual sense can be released can you practice various spells.

*Bang... *

After returning home, close the door!

He Pingsheng stuffed the cracks in his door tightly again to prevent any leakage of aura.

And then he continued to practice.

He took out two jade bottles.

In one jade bottle, there were 12 pills, and in the other jade bottle, there were only 3 pills.

A total of fifteen pills.

That is to say, before, when he broke through from Qi Condensation Stage first layer to third layer, he consumed a total of 9 pills.

"I hope these fifteen pills can let me break through to the fourth layer!"

He Pingsheng took a deep breath and swallowed a pill directly.

That's right!

With the improvement of his cultivation, his speed of refining spiritual power was much faster now, and he didn't need to crush the pills and use water to assist in swallowing like when he first started practicing.

*Boom... *

A whole pill entered his abdomen, and countless pure energy surged from the pill into his meridians.

There is another difference between swallowing pills for practice and guiding spiritual energy into the body.

That is, guiding spiritual energy into the body has five types of spiritual energy: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, which must be filtered and screened before entering the body.

And the spiritual power in this pill doesn't distinguish between five-element attributes; it is the purest energy. After being refined by the meridians, it gathers into the Qi vortex of whatever attribute it is, and automatically transforms into that kind of spiritual energy.

Winter passes and spring comes, everything recovers.

After another half a year, after consuming thirteen top-tier 【Qi-Gathering Pills】, his cultivation finally broke through as he wished.

*Boom... *

At the moment of breaking through, a realization suddenly released from his body.

Within a radius of ten feet, even outside the house, everything was in his eyes.

Spiritual sense released.

"Too good!" He Pingsheng opened his eyes, a bright light flashing in his pupils: "Hahaha... I can practice spells soon!"

So-called spells are various means.

Attack, defense, auxiliary, and so on.

He Pingsheng flipped the Li Fire True Method to the very end, where the practice methods for two spells were recorded.

First: Fire Crow Technique.

Second: Fire Shield Technique. ===== CHAPTER 24 =====
