The cliff behind Qingyun.
Ye Ping sat cross-legged here.
Although I didn't gain anything from this Qingzhou Kendo Conference, I did gain a lot of merit. If I had to say I gained something, it is that I still haven't comprehended the meaning of sword.
But overall, I still gained a lot.
For example, this ancient jade gourd.
There are five types of magical instruments in the world of immortal cultivation: magical instruments, spiritual instruments, ancient instruments, Taoist instruments, and immortal instruments.
Ancient artifacts can also be called ancient treasures, or precious artifacts, which roughly means that they are treasures among magical instruments.
This ancient jade gourd is actually a top-grade treasure. It can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and condense it into innate spiritual energy to help people practice quickly.
But after being obtained by the Demon God Cult, it was refined into an evil weapon, collecting resentful souls and producing the Five Resentments Ancient Poison. Now in Ye Ping's hands, it can play a real role, and this item is also a storage magic weapon.
It just so happened that Ye Ping didn't have any magic storage device, so this gourd was just right.
Ye Ping did not study the matter of the jade gourd for the time being. He put it aside and let it automatically absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. When it had absorbed almost everything, he would extract the innate spiritual energy from it.
What we need to do now is to break through the realm.
That’s right, it’s a breakthrough.
This trip to Qingzhou made Ye Ping realize his shortcomings in three areas.
First, lack of knowledge!
If you don’t understand this, you don’t understand that, and you don’t understand any problem you encounter, it will definitely be harmful rather than helpful to yourself.
However, there are not many books in the Qingyun Taoist Sect, at most there is a Qingzhou Chronicle, so if I have the opportunity in the future, I still have to read more and learn about everything. Even if I don’t understand it very well, at least I know something.
Second, the realm is not enough!
It's like fighting back to Qingzhou. With just a random swing of the sword, the magic power in the body will be basically gone. Fortunately, there are not many disciples of the Demon God Cult in Qingzhou and they are not strong. If you encounter a real strong one, or if there are more of them, then you will be in some trouble.
Third, lack of Taoism heart!
I had no opinions of my own when encountering problems, and I couldn't hear the advice of my senior brother, which led to me being busy running around and wasting a lot of time.
Therefore, before going down the mountain next time, I must be sure of my own heart for the Tao, so as to avoid being hesitant when encountering things in the future. I must be sure of my own heart for the Tao as early as possible.
The above three points are Ye Ping’s own reflections on this trip to Qingzhou.
The first and third points can be taken slowly. After all, I have returned to the sect now and will not go down the mountain again in the short term, so I have plenty of time.
The second point is also what Ye Ping is currently doing.
He saved millions of resentful souls in the ancient jade gourd, and there were countless merit powers in his body, which even turned into a golden lotus of merit, symbolizing supreme merit.
With so many merits, Ye Ping planned to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage in one go.
Yes, that’s right, Ye Ping wants to enter the Foundation Establishment Stage as soon as possible.
In this way, next time I go down the mountain, I will have some ability to protect myself.
Think of this.
Ye Ping began to practice.
In an instant, the merits turned into endless spiritual energy. Under Ye Ping's will, the merits in his body turned into a river, impacting the spiritual veins.
With such huge merits, Ye Ping's realm was also breaking through rapidly.
Eleventh time.
Twelfth time.
Thirteenth time...
At the same time, time passes by little by little.
An hour.
Three hours.
Six hours.
Twelve hours.
Two days.
Three days.
Five days.
Seven days.
In the middle of the cliff behind Qingyun.
Ye Ping entered into a state of meditation for seven days. Someone from Dao Sect came to check on him, but when they saw that Ye Ping was practicing, they did not disturb him.
After all, it is common for a cultivator to enter a state of meditation for three to five days, but sometimes they can stay there for several months or even years.
Within seven days, Ye Ping completed it for the thirty-fifth time.
But the further you go, the more spiritual energy you need.
Previously, hundreds of merits were enough to break through, but now, thousands, or even tens of thousands of merits are unable to break through a level.
If Ye Ping had not converted millions of resentful souls, he would not have been able to break through.
Finally, the tenth day.
When the sun rose, Ye Ping officially started the 36th round of revision.
One third of the merit power in the body was consumed.
But there is one last time left.
Ye Ping did not rest, but continued to practice.
He wants to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
I must break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage no matter what.
And at this moment.
In the capital of Jin State, there is a very magnificent palace.
This is the Jin State Academy.
In Kyoto, except for the Imperial Palace where His Majesty resides, which can be called a palace, other places, no matter how luxurious, cannot be called palaces.
However, Jin State Academy can be called a palace academy, because it is the birthplace of Jin State's strong men. It cannot be said that every genius comes from Jin State Academy, but the Jin people who are truly famous in the world basically all come to Jin State Academy.
In the Jin State Academy, there are countless secret manuals of mental skills, many dignitaries, and many academies. Refining equipment, alchemy, formations, astronomy, mathematics, anything can appear in the Jin State Academy.
Since the King of Jin ordered the Jin Academy to be opened ahead of schedule ten days ago, countless geniuses from the entire thirty-three states of Jin have come to the Jin Academy to take the examination.
The disciples from all major sects displayed their unique abilities, and there were also many disciples from hidden sects, all of whom were geniuses without exception.
The grand occasion was many times more spectacular than the Qingzhou Kendo Conference.
The Qingzhou Sword Competition itself is a sword test for the state. In the past, even if one ranked first, the most one could do was to condense the Four Thunder Sword Forces. However, among the Jin State Academy, even the worst person could do more than just condense the Four Thunder Sword Forces.
Under the main hall of Jin State Academy.
A young man in purple stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the hundreds of people outside the hall in silence.
Behind him stood another man, holding a booklet in his hand, and spoke.
"Brother, this time the Jin State Academy opened in advance, and the number of applicants was 13,672. In the first round, 12,600 people were eliminated, in the second round, 542 people were eliminated, and in the third round, 130 people were eliminated. In the end, there were 400 new students who passed the assessment."
"However, the twelfth academy has an additional admission of 32 people. So far, there are 432 new students this time, the largest number of which is from Lizhou."
"They are outside the temple,"
The man behind him looked at the booklet in his hand and said very seriously.
"Four hundred and thirty-two people? That's nearly double the number of people in the last session. It seems like they all came here for the Ten Nations Academy."
The man in purple spoke slowly. He had a very strong cultivation base, having reached the great perfection of the foundation building stage, but his Qi and blood were vigorous, and he was definitely not an ordinary cultivator who had reached the great perfection of the foundation building stage.
"Perhaps, but the strongest among them is very powerful. He has already completed his foundation at the age of sixteen, and he is practicing the Dragon Elephant Skill."
The latter replied that he had no interest in the purpose of these people coming to the Jin State Academy.
"Dragon Elephant Skill? Something. Oh, by the way, that Qingzhou...what's his name? Ye Ping, yes, Ye Ping, is he here?"
The man in purple continued to ask.
"Ye Ping? Qingzhou? I looked around and no one in the entire Qingzhou passed."
The latter checked the booklet and said so.
"Oh, a man who relies on his uncle for support, I don't think he would dare to come."
The man in purple snorted coldly.
Then he walked out of the hall, his eyes bright and focused, staring at the 432 people outside the hall.
Chapter 119 Perfect Qi Training, Building the Green Lotus Foundation [New Book Request Everything]
Outside the Jin State Academy.
Four hundred and thirty-two people were bathed in the golden sun.
Among these four hundred and thirty-two people, there are both men and women, and there are quite a few women, at least several hundred at a glance.
No one said a word, their eyes were fixed on the man in purple in the hall.
This is their senior brother, also an older generation of Jin State students.
Some people know his name, but most people still don't know where he came from.
However, from his demeanor and temperament, it can be seen that this person is not easy to mess with.
The man in purple walked out of the hall.
He looked at the new disciples in the front row. Each of them was handsome, had excellent temperament, and their eyes were full of confidence and pride.
"First of all, congratulations on joining the Jin State Academy and becoming a student in the academy."
"But don't be happy too soon. Don't think that joining the Jin State Academy means you have reached the pinnacle of life."
"I can tell you responsibly that after you join the Jin State Academy, what awaits you is only a blow, a deep blow."
The man in purple spoke. He did not seem very enthusiastic, nor did he seem particularly serious, but rather calm.
"I know what you are thinking. Some of you have spent your entire lives just wanting to enter the Jin State Academy, to achieve academic success, and then return to bring honor to your family."
"But Jin State Academy will not teach you any supreme methods, nor will it teach you how to become stronger. The original intention of establishing Jin State Academy is to broaden your horizons."
"Yes, it is to broaden your horizons."
"Why do I say that after you join the Jin State Academy, only blows will be waiting for you!"
"Because, after you join the Jin State Academy, you will realize that you are mediocre. You think you are geniuses because you have low vision and you regard the state as your world."
"So you think you are great and powerful, but only when you join the Jin State Academy, you will know how big this world is."
"You will then understand how strong the real genius of Jin is. You will know how many geniuses there are in the Ten Kingdoms. At that time, you will know how insignificant you are, not to mention the Great Xia Dynasty that is above the Ten Kingdoms."
"So, put away your arrogance and complacency. Don't think that you are superior to others just because you joined the Jin State Academy. Don't think that you can act tyrannically and think that you are superior to others."
"I can tell you very clearly that after you join the Jin State Academy, you will become more and more aware of how weak you are and how big this world is."
"So, I advise you to leave Jin State Academy as soon as possible if you don't want to be hit."
"For example, Ye Ping, who has been the most popular recently!"
The purple-clothed man spoke passionately, but at the end, he suddenly mentioned Ye Ping again.
"I think you have all heard of this Ye Ping. He is the savior of Qingzhou, the number one genius of Qingzhou, and he even boasts that he is the number one genius of Jin State. But in the end, he is just a relative of the Lord of Qingzhou."
"If I meet this kind of person, I will let him know what a true genius is. I will also let him know that in front of a strong person, any false reputation is nothing but smoke."
"But he is very smart. He has not appeared here. If he dares to appear here, I will let him know how powerful a genius is."
"And among you, there must be people like Ye Ping. I advise you to leave on your own and not fall into my hands."
The man in purple looked calm.
Having said this, he stopped talking.
