Chapter 10 The first level of Qi Refining Period ()

This year was the first year of Zhou Liang's cultivation of immortals. Zhou Liang didn't know how Li Muqing and the others spent it, but he made full use of the month that the outer deacon hall gave to the outer disciples.

The Beast Control Sect was diligent in practicing. Zhou Liang went to listen to Senior Brother Ma Yu explaining the skills, various spiritual medicines, spiritual beasts, and weapon refining knowledge. He only felt fascinated by Zhou Liang. He never imagined that there was another world outside the mortal world, which was full of magic and unknown and omnipotent!

Senior Brother Ma Yu sat on the upper mat, with a kind face and a kind expression, which was a kind of satisfaction of teaching disciples. Later, Zhou Liang heard from other brothers that Senior Brother Ma Yu entered the Beast Control Sect in middle age. At that time, Senior Brother Ma Yu saw a rough record of the mountain gate of the Beast Control Sect in an ancient book, so he resigned from his position as a teacher and traveled thousands of miles to the mountain city. Later, he followed the hunters into the demon beast mountains. Originally, they encountered an ant-eating colony when they entered a place, and almost wiped out the entire army. When they happened to meet Master Henghu, the Master Master saw that he was in the spiritual root, he got down to him, asked the reason, lamented that he was the city of his heart for cultivating immortals, so he made him an outer disciple.

Senior Brother Ma Yu has poor spiritual root qualifications, and is mixed with spiritual roots, water, wood and fire. In fact, it is better than Zhou Liang, but he is older and it is difficult to make any progress in his career in cultivating immortals. So far, he has only been in the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage for ten years, but this is already quite good among the outer disciples.

Seeing that he had little hope of breaking through the foundation-building period, Senior Brother Ma Yu asked Zhao Qiansun for this position. Zhao Qiansun knew that Senior Brother Ma Yu was brought in by the head of Henghu, so it was not easy to make things difficult for him. Moreover, this position of teacher is not an easy job, and it is something that no one wants to do. So Senior Brother Ma Yu has been teaching outer disciples here for three years. Everyone respects him very much. After all, for outer disciples who have no father or mother, it is really a matter of no choice to have a senior who has been in the art to explain carefully to him.

Unfortunately, the first thing Zhou Liang had to learn was to recognize words. It took him half a year to recognize the whole character. Senior Brother Ma Yu also taught him carefully. After all, there are still many children like them who don’t know. Then there are practices of martial arts, how to guide the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, how to store the spiritual energy into the dantian, and even senior Brother Ma Yu explained some knowledge of beast control, and even a preliminary explanation of spiritual consciousness. It is really unheard of and never seen. Zhou Liang slowly guided the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body in the afternoon. This is a difficult thing for the disciples of the Four Spirit Roots.

It took Sun Xing three years to guide the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body, and he had very little remaining, so he entered the first level of the Qi Refining Period. Zhou Liang has the four spiritual roots, which is slightly better than him. Generally, the four spiritual roots last only half a year.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed. Zhou Liang cannot be said to be the hardest one among all the children to study, but he is also a few hard-working people. Every time Sun Xing sees him, he will ask him to relax and say that it’s better to be free. Every time Zhou Liang smiles and says nothing. Their relationship gradually improves.

In late October, the weather on the short peak where the outer disciples are located has not changed much. There is a mountain protection formation here. The four seasons are like spring, with flowers and greenery. Zhou Liang is sitting in his room meditating.

He didn't remember how many times he had guided the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body, but he did not succeed once. Two months ago, he felt the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which was four colors, namely gold, white, yellow, and red. Senior Brother Ma Yu told him that the four spiritual root attributes of gold, fire, water and earth were at that time, which meant that he could already feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

When he used the Ten Directions Art, a trace of heaven and earth spiritual energy was flying beside him like a lively elves. Zhou Liang once again used the Ten Directions Art to guide these spiritual consciousness to see the elves entering their dantian. From the outside, the four colors of heaven and earth spiritual energy slowly entered Zhou Liang's dantian like four extremely small streams... Yes, that's it, that's it, enter more, enter more, Zhou Liang shouted in his heart that when the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy filled his dantian, he decided to keep them. As long as he could keep them, even if it was just a little bit, he could become a true immortal cultivator, a cultivator at the first level of the Qi Refining Period, no longer a mortal. He was a cultivator, no longer a mortal! He became an immortal in his mind.

The spiritual elves obviously regarded Zhou Liang's body as a post station. With Zhou Liang's dantian as the center, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth slowly dissipated. This is the sorrow of the four spiritual roots, and this is the gap in qualifications. Senior Brother Zhou Liang once told him that if it is a single attribute spiritual root, it only takes a few times to guide the spiritual energy into the body, and there are eight layers of intercepting into the dantian, and then use the corresponding exercises to compress the spiritual energy.

Feeling the changes in the dissipation of spiritual energy, Zhou Liang couldn't help but smile bitterly. What could he do, but he couldn't give up. Even Sun Xing's five spiritual roots could refine weapons in the second level. How could he not be in the Qi Refining Stage now? He worked hard to use the Ten Directions Art and tried to intercept even a little bit of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Compared with ordinary people, although Zhou Liang was malnourished before, his food has improved significantly since he came to the Beast Control Sect. He has trained more than other children, and his meridians are better in width and flexibility than others.

Maybe it was because of his health, or maybe it was because Zhou Liang had already unconsciously activated the Ten Directions Art. A little bit of white spiritual energy stayed in the dantian. The water spiritual energy was indeed more docile than other spiritual energy, Zhou Liang thought.

With this little bit of water spiritual energy, Zhou Liang's confidence increased greatly. He worked harder to operate the Ten Directions Artifacts. It may be a natural result, or it may be the reason why the Ten Directions Artifacts really worked. The other three colored spiritual energy also left a trace of it for Zhou Liang. Could this be considered as reward in Zhou Liang's dantian?

Zhou Liang, who had completed the exercises, looked at the layer of dirty sweat on his body, and knew that he had finally become a cultivator. Even though he was at the first level of the Qi Refining Stage, he was also a cultivator!

Zhou Liang couldn't help but roaring to the sky! The moon above the Beast-Driving Sect seemed to be brighter than before. What Zhou Liang didn't know was that a crisis against him was coming!
