Chapter 450: Cultivation: Eight Realms!
"It's so expensive!"
Ding Xiang walked out of the 'Beifu' and looked at the 'Yellow-named Shenjiang Courtyard' that Yan Chuang spent 550 kilograms of fine stone to rent. She really didn't see anything strange.
Lu Yuru even smacked her lips: "My monthly cultivation only costs one or two hundred kilograms of fine stones at most."
The 'Shenjiang Courtyard' in Jinfu City is divided into four grades, 'Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang'. The rental price of the yellow-character courtyard is 20 kilograms of fine stone per day, the monthly rent is 550 kilograms, and the annual rent is 6,400 kilograms. If you buy flowers, the property rights are up to 70 years, and you need 40 Yuan Dan.
Yan Chuang's rent was the lowest one. It was just a small courtyard. One month's rent was the cost of her cultivation for half a year?
This is too much!
"It's indeed quite a lot." Yan Chuang also complained.
The income of first-level generals who are qualified and have the means to process 'Yuan Dan' is already above average among those of the same level. They process one 'Yuan Dan' every month, and the theoretical profit is about 3,000 kilograms of refined stone. , but in fact, there are layers of exploitation, and some may earn close to 3,000 kilograms, while others may not even be able to earn 1,000 kilograms.
In other words, a first-level divine general with an above-average income could barely earn enough to rent a "yellow-labeled divine general's courtyard" in Golden Talisman City after a month of hard work.
How can a general god afford to rent it?
"Ting Ya told me that people who rent Shenjiang Villa are usually short-term renters, for one month or a year. There are also those who are short of money and only rent for a few days to clear the customs."
"Then there are small families, small sects, and small tribes in and around Jinfu City. There are innate divine generals sitting in charge, but they are not powerful. They do not have enough foundation to build a treasure like the Divine General's Courtyard, so they can only spend money. When they come to practice in Jinfu City, not only the elites from the Innate God General's family, sect, and tribe are sometimes brought as gifts and opportunities."
The Divine General Courtyard relies on various innate divine generals and the rental situation of daily rent, monthly rent, and annual rent to earn a large amount of essence stones every day.
As for buying and selling, this is too little.
On the one hand, the house price is too expensive. It costs 40 Yuan Dan and 400,000 kilograms of fine stone. Very few people can afford it in one go.
On the other hand, the 70-year property right is irritating. It is clear that you have spent money to buy a house, but the house cannot be completely yours and cannot be passed down to your family with peace of mind. This is of course worrying.
Rather than saying this is a 'sale or purchase', it is better to say that this is a 70-year super long-term lease with some reduction in price.
According to local people, daily rent, monthly rent, and annual rent are all easy to rent, but this one is the most difficult to deal with.
Yan Chuang was amused: "If Jinfu City supports home purchase loans and installment payments, and then clearly explains the details of the 70-year property rights, how many villas can be sold."
In terms of real estate marketing, Jin Fucheng or the four families and three factions still have to learn from the big capitalists in the previous life.
Too bad!
70-year property rights?
Don’t buy any dogs!
Of course, this is talking about this life, the ‘Shenjiang Courtyard’.
…
"In the past few days, you two have been wronged to stay in other courtyards or in Beifu. After I get familiar with Golden Talisman City and confirm that the Fu family and Blood Shadow Temple can't see through my true identity, you can stay in Golden Talisman City." Take a walk." Yan Chuang said.
Ding Xiang said: "I have no problem."
Lu Yuru also nodded: "I have no problem either."
In this way, the three of them have temporarily settled in Jinfu City.
Familiarize yourself with the environment, run industries, earn gemstones, hone martial arts, etc. Don't be in a hurry, just take your time step by step.
After Yan Chuang rented the Divine General's Villa, the first thing he did was to set up the 'Five Elements Qingtian Array' to thank the guests behind closed doors. In the other courtyard, he activated the 'Five Elements Release Element Array' and practiced wholeheartedly.
…
"Static light shines, movement makes it soar, the spirit follows the shape of the spirit, the spirit is solid when the mind moves, the spirit is handsome, the form follows the spirit. Practice the form to be strong, practice the essence to be solid, practice the spirit to be strong, practice the spirit to be light "The solid Qi is the foundation of verticality and horizontality, and the essence of Qi is the foundation of soaring."
Jinfu City, the inner city, and the other courtyard of the Divine General.
Yan Chuangyun caused the true energy to flow from Dantian to the "Yinqiaoku" of the three meridians of Zhensuo, Rendu and Chong, and then turned towards "Weiluguan". Then it divides into two branches and goes up, passing through the "Laoji Pass" on both sides of the 14th vertebra of the lumbar spine, and goes up through the shoulders, back, and neck to the "Yuzhen Pass". This is called "the three passes of the true Qi of the adverse luck".
Then the true energy goes upwards and crosses the top of the head for hundreds of times, flows down in five ways, meets with the whole body's energy meridians and then divides into primary and secondary branches. It returns to the Dantian, enters the orifice and returns to the origin. After a cycle of this cycle, the body is like nectar being poured into it, and the true energy in the Dantian is The qi is like a cigarette lingering and swimming freely, that is the 'dense purple qi'.
Nine Yang Magic!
Dense purple air!
It comes from "Xiantian Gong". Tracing back to its origin, it actually comes from "Zixia Divine Gong". When the fire reaches a certain level, it can nourish all limbs and bones, and can also dissolve and resist various alien powers. This is the basis of "Nine Yang Magic".
One practice.
The second god of luck.
On this basis, what is cultivated is the Nine-Yang True Qi of the Eight Classics——
"First understand the momentum of advance and retreat, and then investigate the root of movement and stillness. Advance because of falling and then rising. Retreating only then merges with movement. Take stillness as the foundation. Although the body is fast, the mind is still. The beauty of stillness is to understand the internal and external breathing. Therefore. When the body's energy is strong, it can move vertically and horizontally, and when the spirit is concentrated, it can fly vertically and horizontally.
At sunrise, Yan Chuang sat cross-legged facing the rising sun, took the Five Hearts Upward pose, and intended to guard the Dantian. Then he imagined that the sun's rays would turn into nine fire dragons, inhaled from Baihui, Yongquan on both feet, and Laogong on both hands, and converge into a fireball in the Dantian. . Then the fireball of thought gradually expanded, and the Supreme Being and the universe returned. After that, gradually shrink and retract the Dantian, expanding and contracting in this way, and the true energy will grow.
Sunset and moonrise.
When the moon just rose, Yan Chuang was still practicing, the fire dragon turned into a water dragon, and the fireball turned into a water ball.
Silently practicing the mind method.
Moving the true energy.
Visualizing the sun and the moon.
Yan Chuang's "Nine Yang Magic" had long been at the peak of the seventh realm, stuck at the limit, and had not broken through for many days. During this period, Yan Chuang was either on the road or in battle. He had practiced in Tan Gu Wangcheng for a short time before, but he couldn't figure out anything.
Until today, in Jin Fucheng, in the God General's Courtyard, in the "Five Elements Release Yuan Formation", Yan Chuang filled 500 kilograms of essence stone in the formation, and the formation operated automatically. The essence in the 500 kilograms of essence stone was released in an orderly manner, 80% of which could be absorbed and refined by Yan Chuang, and the other 20% was inevitably lost and used by the "Five Elements Sky-supporting Formation" to operate the formation.
Hard practice! Deep practice!
One day! Two days!
Yan Chuang had the help of the essence stone and formation, as well as the cultivation of the seventh realm peak magic skills, the gravity pressure of the ‘fifth-level star stone’, and swallowed a ‘hundred-year-old wine worm fruit’—
Drunkenness and dreaming!
Three days and three days.
Five hundred kilograms of essence stone had been exchanged six times, a total of 3,000 kilograms. Yan Chuang swallowed the essence of the essence stone like a dragon swallowing the sea, swallowing the mountains and rivers.
Even though the ‘Five Elements Release Yuan Formation’ in his yellow-letter god general’s courtyard only had an 80% utilization rate of the essence stone, after five rounds, not counting the part of the essence absorbed by Ding Xiang, Lu Yuru and Wang Zhengyi’s ‘Monkey King Clone’ in the North Palace, Yan Chuang alone absorbed more than 1,200 kilograms of magnificent essence.
Magic skills running.
Qi transport.
The nine-yang true qi in the body, together with the misty purple air, continued to advance towards the innate third level.
Closer!
Closer!
When Yan Chuang woke up from his ‘drunkenness’, he opened his eyes——
[Your ‘Nine Yang Magic Skill’ has been improved, proficiency +2]
…
[Nine Yang Magic Skill: Eight Realms Reached the Pinnacle (1)]
…
Nine Yang Magic Skill!
Finally the Eight Realms!
However, Yan Chuang’s cultivation level still remained at the second level of Xiantian.
…
“Not enough!” Yan Chuang woke up from his dream as if it were yesterday. He stood up and stretched his body. He understood in his heart: “I achieved Xiantian Dao on November 30 last year. In half a month, I was promoted from the initial Xiantian to the first level of Xiantian. I relied on 20 kilograms of ‘honey jade royal jelly’. After that, I was promoted to the second level of Xiantian in early February this year. I relied on 200 kilograms of ‘jade honey’ and the ‘spiritual candle fruit’ and ‘replenishing primordial mushroom’ and other spiritual medicines seized from the Xiantian beast king’s territory in Nanyue Lake.”
Yan Chuang achieved Xiantian Dao on the 30th of last winter month.
He was promoted to the first level of Xiantian on the 15th of the same year.
He was promoted to the second level of Xiantian in early February this year.
On February 6th, we fought in Nanxiong City and returned to Tangu King City. On February 22nd, we returned to Nanyue Lake and arrived at Jinfu City on February 25th.
Now is——
"March 1st!"
After being promoted to the second level of Xiantian, another month has passed, and Yan Chuang has not yet broken through to the third level of Xiantian, but: "The previous peak of the seventh level of "Nine Yang Magic", plus the three Yuandan left by Fu Manduo, made my daily practice more smooth, plus the retreat in the God General's Courtyard these days, with the help of the "Hundred Years Wine Worm Fruit", I finally broke through the "Nine Yang Magic" to the eighth level and reached the pinnacle. I am not far from the third level of Xiantian now. Practice step by step, at most in half a month to a month, the third level will be achieved!"
Yan Chuang's cultivation did not break through, but his face was still full of smiles.
Half a month.
One and a half months.
At most two months.
All in all, it may not take more than four months for Yan Chuang to be able to cultivate from the newly promoted Xiantian to the third level of Xiantian. Is there anyone faster than him?
Is there anything else that is not satisfied?
No more!
Yan Chuang is very satisfied!
Of course, he also knew that his progress was made possible by the accumulation of a vast amount of resources—
20 kilograms of ‘honey jade royal jelly’.
200 kilograms of ‘jade honey’.
Essence stone.
Yuandan.
Yan Chuang refined hundreds of kilograms of essence stone every day, maintaining a terrifying progress speed, and his true energy improved day by day. After obtaining the ‘Yuandan’ and moving into the ‘God General’s Residence’, the speed of refining essence and cultivating true energy increased further.
So, Yan Chuang made rapid progress!
…
“Not enough!”
Yan Chuang was already very fast, but he still thought it was too slow.
In fact, Yan Chuang's cultivation speed does have a lot of room for improvement--
"After I was promoted to the second level of Xiantian, I was nourishing the 'tendons, bones, skin and flesh' in the first round of 'hardening bones'. While refining the essence stone, I could refine about 100 kilograms of essence stone every day while constantly changing the essence stone in my hand and distracting my mind. But if I practice with 'Yuan Dan' in one go, the efficiency will double, and I can refine about 200 kilograms of essence stone, which is one-thirtieth of the total essence content of a Yuan Dan."
In the Xiantian realm, there are 20 levels of cultivation of 'Eight Extraordinary Meridians' to transform 'tendons, bones, skin and flesh'.
In fact, the cultivation of these 20 levels is simple and easy. For example, to temper 'tendons, bones, skin and flesh' and make it transform into three rounds, it is nothing more than repeatedly tempering and nourishing with qi, blood, true qi, and the essence of heaven and earth, which is just a slow and steady process.
Theoretically, as long as there are sufficient resources, you can step up step by step and ascend to heaven step by step.
But, it is difficult--
Kung Fu!
True Qi!
Eight Extraordinary Meridians!
Tendons, bones, skin and flesh!
Everyone understands the general direction, but when it comes to actual operation and practice, the difficulty increases dramatically. We always encounter strange problems in every corner. Sometimes they can be solved easily, and sometimes we just can't figure it out no matter how hard we try. So we get stuck, and our practice stagnates, and it is difficult to make any progress from then on.
Yan Chuang has not encountered such a problem yet, so: "Since I haven't encountered a bottleneck yet, and since I can still make progress now, I must make every effort to maximize the speed and efficiency of cultivation!"
How to maximize?
Of course, it is krypton gold, relying on massive resources!
For example, the daily upper limit of essence stone is only hundreds of kilograms, so it is replaced by "Yuan Dan" and "God General Courtyard", and the efficiency is doubled to 200 kilograms.
The progress of cultivation will naturally be greatly accelerated.
But in this way, the daily consumption of essence stone is not just 200 kilograms. According to the value of "One Pattern Yuan Dan" of 10,000 kilograms of essence stone but only contains 6,000 kilograms of essence stone, Yan Chuang absorbs and refines 200 kilograms of essence in "One Pattern Yuan Dan", which is equivalent to spending 333 kilograms of essence stone.
333 per day, Yan Chuang's "Level 5 Cornucopia" is difficult to supply.
Even if it is changed to the ‘God General’s Courtyard’, according to the 80% utilization rate of the ‘Five Elements Release Yuan Formation’, Yan Chuang refines 200 kilograms of essence every day, which is equivalent to 250 kilograms of essence stones, and the rental fee of 20 kilograms of essence stones every day, which also consumes 270 kilograms of essence stones.
‘Level 5 Treasure Bowl’ still cannot supply it.
Yuan Dan, daily consumption of 333 kilograms of essence stones.
God General’s Courtyard, daily consumption of 270 kilograms of essence stones.
This is the situation when Yan Chuang is practicing with all his strength.
However, this was before.
Now the situation has changed again. After Yan Chuang has reached the eighth level of the “Nine Yang Divine Art”, his attainments are deeper. Not only is the nourishment of “muscles, bones, skin and flesh” more efficient, but the utilization, refining and consumption of essence will also be deepened and intensified.
Even if it is the ‘God General’s Courtyard’, it is conservatively estimated that 400 kilograms of essence stones per day may not be enough.
This is the situation when he is practicing alone.
But he is not alone——
Lu Yuru has not yet achieved enlightenment, so it can be ignored.
Ding Xiang insisted on following Yan Chuang without taking care of her cultivation resources.
But Wang Zhengyi's 'Monkey King clone' stayed in the 'Northern Palace' doing nothing all day long as a retreat for Yan Chuang and his last trump card to escape. It would be unreasonable for Wang Zhengyi to provide for it himself, so Yan Chuang had to bear the cultivation resources of the 'Monkey King clone' and give him the best treatment. Yan Chuang had a mouthful of soup, so he had to share half of it with the Monkey King clone, so as not to let Wang Zhengyi down.
The cultivation efficiency of the 'Monkey King clone' is far inferior to Yan Chuang, but its limit will not be less than 100 jin of Jingshi.
So calculated -
"I have 400."
"Monkey King clone 100."
"Just practicing every day consumes about 500 jin of Jingshi!"
Money!
Money, money, money!
Martial arts is a gold-eating cave!
It is not obvious in the acquired realm, but it finally appears when the innate is proven.
The eight extraordinary meridians.
The three rounds of transformation of muscles, bones, skin and flesh.
The 20th level of Xiantian requires too many resources.
Essence Stone!
Essence Stone!
This is just the most basic "material requirement", but this alone has stumped too many heroes and peerless geniuses.
Yan Chuang didn't know until he calculated it. He was shocked when he calculated it. Only then did he finally feel the urgency of earning Essence Stone.
