Two months passed in a flash.
"I finally got started with the Spirit Flame Art!"
At night, Zhou Ling sat cross-legged on the wooden bed, slowly opened his eyes, and exhaled.
At this moment, he circulated the thin mana in his body and felt a hot breath.
As soon as he got started, he felt that the mana of the Spirit Flame Art was extremely hot.
This is the mana condensed by the Spirit Flame Art!
Zhou Ling could feel that this thin mana was obviously thicker and more vigorous than the mana originally absorbed through the "Five Elements Breathing Technique", and it had a stronger endurance!
"Fortunately, I have the talents of [More Frustrations and More Courage] and [Born with Talent]"
Zhou Ling couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Otherwise, it would take a long time to comprehend this art, let alone cultivate mana.
Wait until one or two years, or even two or three years to comprehend it.
By then, I will be seven or eight years old.
That is to enter the second level of Qi training, and the next two years of practice may not be able to reach the fourth level of Qi training.
At that time, I will have to leave the Taoist temple.
Without the resources of the Taoist Academy, he would be destined to be a casual cultivator in the future, and the chance of building a foundation would be very slim.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ling took another deep breath, and his mind became more focused, continuing to practice the Spirit Flame Technique.
Try to enter the second level of Qi training as soon as possible.
There is a small realm between this level and the second level.
Without the assistance of elixirs, it is still very difficult to rely on mana alone.
······.
More than two months passed in a hurry, and winter turned to spring.
[You are absorbing spiritual energy, spiritual energy affinity +1, spiritual energy +3]
[Cumulative number of spiritual energy absorption: 51090/100,000]
That night, Zhou Ling was sitting cross-legged in meditation, practicing the Spirit Flame Technique.
As Zhou Ling breathed in and out, it seemed as if there were faint ripples around him, and wisps of spiritual energy were absorbed into his body.
Then it slowly flowed into the meridians and merged into the spirit cave.
Zhou Ling noticed that with every breath, the spiritual power in his body was enriched.
After Zhou Ling continued to practice for half an hour, he felt a tingling and slightly swollen feeling in his meridians, and realized that his spiritual power
in his spiritual acupoints was full. Then, under the guidance of the Spirit Flame Art, the spiritual power in the meridians slowly stimulated the meridian spiritual acupoints like peeling silk from a cocoon.
Soon, there was a muffled sound.
"Finally, the tenth spiritual acupoint has been stimulated!"
Zhou Ling exhaled. He had waited for nearly half a year for this moment.
Of course, this was mainly due to the practice method.
Although it took a little longer, it was worth it.
If you choose to practice a lower-grade yellow-level practice method, it may be faster.
But the speed of practice in the future may not be as fast as the Spirit Flame Art.
Zhou Ling scratched his head, and then continued to practice the Spirit Flame Art, trying to absorb spiritual power, and found that the spiritual energy he inhaled was twice as much as before.
Although it was only a small level increase, the speed has been so greatly improved.
Zhou Ling was delighted and continued to practice for about an incense stick of time to stabilize his cultivation.
At this moment, he found that his spiritual power was obviously much more abundant, and even his consciousness, which had not yet fully formed, was stronger.
"I have reached the second level of Qi training!"
Zhou Ling was very happy.
It took more than a quarter of an hour for him to calm down his excitement.
Entering the second level of Qi training can be regarded as becoming a cultivator in the true sense.
Next, he can start practicing various skills.
Zhou Ling began to think carefully about the next plan and learn a skill as soon as possible
so as to share the burden of the family. "Tomorrow is the first day of the new school year. I can go to the Taoist temple to borrow books on basic inscription cultivation and learn how to refine inscriptions as soon as possible!"
Zhou Ling thought to himself.
He picked up the cup on the small wooden table and drank a few sips of water.
"I'd better tell my parents and make them happy!"
Zhou Ling thought.
The faint light of the flint lamp shone into the room through the crack in the door.
Zhou Ling knew that his parents should not have slept yet.
Although Li Ru and his wife had a lot of expectations for him, they also knew that cultivation should be done step by step and not be quick to achieve success.
It is important to lay a good foundation.
Usually, they did not put any pressure on Zhou Ling.
Walking to the door, through the crack in the door, Zhou Ling saw his father sitting on a wooden chair, holding a ceramic bowl, sipping spirit wine, and a small dish of fried peanuts next to him.
His face, which was already a little vicissitudes, looked even more haggard under the dim light.
His mother sat on a low wooden stool near the flint lamp, sewing the soles of her shoes, and yawning slightly from time to time.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Ling's excitement slowly dissipated.
He is now more than five years old.
Quietly, he grew from a crying baby to a second-level Qi training cultivator.
This speed is already very fast for ordinary casual cultivators.
But in the past five years, his parents' cultivation has not improved at all and has stagnated.
Zhou Ling knew the main reason for this was that they gave all their resources to him.
Li Ru put down the needle, took out a pair of scissors from the dustpan, cut the needle and thread, looked up at Zhou Shan and said, "Husband, don't go into the inner mountain this year."
Zhou Shan shook his head, "Now there are only some ordinary spiritual medicines in the outer mountain, and my spiritual sense is low, I can't find good medicines. If I encounter a monster and get injured, then this month's work will be in vain." "
Although the monsters in the inner mountain are stronger, as long as we can find one or two first-grade mid-quality spiritual medicines, it will be worth it."
Li Ru looked at Zhou Shan and said softly, "Wait until Ling'er exchanges for the main practice method, and you can use the remaining spirit stones at home to buy spirit sand and stone."
"See if you can break through the late stage of body refining!"
Zhou Shan took a sip of spirit wine and shook his head, "Ling'er is taking elective exercises, and he will need auxiliary spiritual objects later. This will also cost a lot of spirit stones, so it's better to save them for him."
"At my age, I don't expect to make any major progress in cultivation."
"Dad, Mom, I've entered the second level of Qi training!" Zhou Ling opened the door, walked into the hall, and said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shan and his wife were stunned for a moment, and then they looked at Zhou Ling with joy.
"Son, you have entered the second level of Qi training!"
Li Ru hurriedly pulled Zhou Ling in front of her, looked left and right in disbelief, and then shouted excitedly, "Husband, my son has really reached the second level of Qi training!"
"Good! Good! This generation of my Zhou family is really going to produce a foundation-building cultivator!"
Zhou Shan was also very pleased and excited, and couldn't help but drink the remaining wine in the pottery bowl.
The couple never thought that their son would enter the second level of Qi training so quickly.
At this speed, there is a great chance that he will continue to stay in the Taoist Academy to practice before he is ten years old. He
can even become an inner disciple of the Taoist Academy in the future.
"Dad, Mom, I have already solved the problem of the exercises. In addition, you don't have to worry about the tuition fees of the Taoist Academy in the future!"
"This year, the Taoist Academy has started to divide the students. As long as my test scores can enter the top ten, I don't have to pay tuition, and I can even get a bonus from the Taoist Academy!"
Zhou Ling said.
Originally, Zhou Ling didn't want his parents to know about these two things, especially the assessment.
But he really didn't want his father to take risks by going into the inner mountain.
That's why he brought it up first.
After all, now, he wasn't too sure that he could make it into the top ten of the Taoist Academy assessment.
