On this day, after he put up a sign outside the mountain gate that said "Retreat, Do Not Disturb", Cangyou Peak's constant flow of visitors every day finally stopped.
During this retreat, Xu Yi wants to sort out his current practice.
Let's talk about realm first. Originally, with his existing resources, it would have been no problem to reach Mortal Transformation Fourth Realm.
He had estimated that if he had to rush to the Mortal Transformation Fourth Realm, he would only need to spend about two thousand more wish beads to achieve it.
Xu Yi has never broken through this step, not because he is afraid of making rapid progress and arousing suspicion.
After all, this place was unfamiliar to him, so he really didn't need to worry about it.
There are two reasons why he refused to upgrade:
First, upgrading consumes a lot of wish beads. Although there are still four thousand wish beads left, don't forget that in order to make the vortex disappear temporarily, he must consume wish beads. In other words, his current monk appearance is supported by a large number of wish beads.
During this period of time, whenever he went out, he had to refine a lot of wish beads to maintain his cultivation, otherwise he would not be able to fly in the air.
Therefore, he did not dare to waste the wish beads.
Second, according to the knowledge of cultivation that Xu Yi currently has, entering the Four Realms may not be a blessing.
After practicing to the four realms, and then going higher, you will pass through First Tribulation of Lightning and achieve the divine fetus.
And how terrifying First Tribulation of Lightning is, the probability of anyone successfully surviving it is extremely low.
What's even more troublesome is that if Mortal Transformation Fourth Realm cannot reach First Tribulation of Lightning quickly, it will require about five wishing beads to temper the body almost every day in order to stabilize the state and not fall. In this way, to support it for one year, it will require nearly two thousand wishing beads.
If it lasts any longer, the amount of wish beads consumed will be simply astronomical.
Therefore, no one would rush into the fourth realm rashly if they were not backed by a big tree and had a deep foundation.
Precisely because he does not deliberately put effort into spiritual practice, Xu Yi's retreat can basically be regarded as a retrospective and summary journey of his past spiritual practice.
Xu Yi's current main ability to defeat enemies is nothing more than the true spirit version of Three Hearts Two Minds Sword and Wrathful Chi Aspect.
If practice is compared to a big tree, the true spirit and Wrathful Chi Aspect are just the fruits of the big tree.
Xu Yi What we want to find out this time is definitely not the fruit, but the trunk and branches of the entire tree.
He divided the entire trunk of the tree into four parts: the Way of Numerology, Dao of Alchemy, the Way of Talisman, and many classics discussing the origin of spiritual practice.
The way of numerology, Xu Yi heard man of the Way say more than once, this is the method that can best help people master the nearest avenue.
The origin of Three Hearts Two Minds Sword is supported by the most mysterious way of numerology.
As for Dao of Alchemy, talismans, formations, Divine Ability, I don't know how many people use the method of numerology.
Therefore, Xu Yi never dares to ignore it, and the deeper he digs, the deeper his love becomes. During this retreat, in addition to summarizing what he has learned in the past, he also plans to concentrate on solving a mathematical puzzle that has always eluded him <Seven Star Numerology>.
As for Dao of Alchemy, with the help of Qiu Wa, he finally went from copying cats and animals (relying on rote memorization of Qiu Wa's spectrum) to entering the profession (he can easily publish Ding Wen on Dan Book), and he is already one of the few Dao of Alchemy masters in the world.
But since entering this world, he has been busy trying to survive and climbing, Pill Arts. He has really been out of the battle for a long time.
Moreover, this method focuses on operation. If you don't practice for a day, it will be neglected for a long time. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to pick it up this time.
If he is just unfamiliar with Dao of Alchemy, then his knowledge of talismans is simply useless.
Since entering Northern Continent World, due to the restrictions of heaven and earth, it cannot attract the power of heaven and earth. It is nothing more than drawing Talisman Pattern and Xu Yi and has never made any talismans again.
Now, after entering Western Ox Continent, he has tried it, but it seems that he cannot activate the power of heaven and earth, but he has seen talismans in this world.
This also proves that this world can draw talismans. He cannot draw the power of heaven and earth, but his cultivation is not enough.
After realizing this, Xu Yi naturally paid great attention to the way of talismans.
During this retreat, he not only had to pick up all the Talisman Pattern drawing techniques that he had recorded, but even if he could not actually draw Talisman Pattern, he had to review the past formulas, secrets, and tricks one by one, so as to learn from the past and learn the new.
In addition to the above three categories that can be embodied, the fourth category, various classics, is programmatic knowledge, and Xu Yi naturally must study it.
Upon closer analysis, Xu Yi's task of retreat this time is quite heavy.
But if you have practiced to the level of Xu Yi, you can still make progress together and have all the Dharma ready. This is a great blessing in itself. Others can't ask for it, and Xu Yi will not know the blessings amidst the blessings.
I practice day and night, and I don't know how old the year is. In the blink of an eye, Xu Yi has been in seclusion for six months.
After six months of hard work, Xu Yi has gained a lot. Except for the <Seven Star Numerology> that has still not been solved, the goals expected to be achieved before the retreat have basically been achieved.
Having laid a solid foundation, we are based on the past, and based on the past, we naturally look forward to the future.
Xu Yi knows clearly that this is Great World, the pinnacle of spiritual practice. He has never seen it far away. If there are immortals in the world, they are probably here.
After the transformation from the mortal world, there is the divine fetus. What comes after the divine fetus?
With this thought, Xu Yi became deeply curious. At that moment, he took out the sound transmission bead, activated the restriction, and contacted one person.
"...Brother Xu Find Liu Junshi and prepare two jugs of good wine. If you have any orphan or incomplete copies of Go records, take them to him and you will be able to accomplish something..."
"...Brother Xu It's not surprising that you haven't seen him in the Staff Department. This gentleman was an elder twenty years ago. Chief Strategist When an elder emerged, he returned to the Staff Department. He was disheartened and had the most indifferent temperament. He was a companion of wine and a neighbor of chess. More than ten years ago, I played chess with him and lost two jars of wine to him. It was a bit of a romantic relationship..."
What Xu Yi is looking for is Mr. Ge. Although he has made a lot of acquaintances in the Staff Department, he has no one he can be close to. When something goes wrong, Mr. Ge, the guy under his control, is more reliable.
As he thought, Mr. Ge, whose cultivation level was no more than the second realm, had not made any outstanding achievements in practice. As expected, he could not answer the questions raised by Xu Yi, so he gave this suggestion.
No matter whether it is suitable or not, Xu Yi plans to try it. The cost does not seem to be high.
He ordered, and soon, several incomplete chess books were looted.
Xu Yi spent another two hours studying the chess records, took a pot of wine made from spirit liquid, took the address of Liu Junshi from Pan Meiren, and went out.
After traveling west for more than ten miles, I saw a mountain peak that was like a long and thin chopstick, standing straight into the sky. The mountain was thin and the scenery was also thin. Xu Yi looked outside for a moment and said loudly, "Brother Junshi is there?"
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man dressed as a servant came out, looked at Xu Yi for a moment, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, my lord is in retreat, and there are no outsiders."
Xu Yi said, "I'm an old friend of yours, and I'm here to visit as requested. How dare you, old man, try to block me by prevaricating others!"
