Chapter 142: Picking Secret Techniques and Obtaining Inheritance
With the token given by the head Han Yunsheng, Wang Ping separated from Mingkong outside the head hall and went directly to the library.
He had been to the library several times before, but he walked around the first floor and had never been to the second floor or above.
At this time, he showed his cultivation level in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and it was easy to climb to the second level with the awe-inspiring eyes of the disciples of the gate, and then headed to the third level.
There are two Foundation Establishment Cultivators guarding the gate on the third floor, and there are separate forbidden laws on the gate.
Wang Ping handed the tokens obtained from Han Yunsheng to the gatekeeper monk. After the gatekeeper had checked the authenticity of the token, he cast a spell to open the door for him.
Compared with the first and second floors, the space inside the third floor is much smaller, and the number of books collected is pitifully small.
But all the books that can be placed on these three levels are precious things.
Wang Ping walked to the bookshelf where the martial arts were stored, and glanced at him and saw a series of martial arts that could be practiced to the Dan Killing Stage or even the Nascent Soul Stage.
He took out a book called "Bi Shui Xuan Gong" and read it.
It was found that there were nine levels of this technique. The first three layers correspond to the Qi Refining Stage, the middle three layers correspond to the Foundation Building Stage, and the last three layers correspond to the Ox Formation Stage. It is also an advanced technique that can be practiced to the early stage of the Nascent Soul.
But now the classics in his hand only record the first three levels of exercises. If he wants to obtain the complete exercises, only after he is sure to choose this exercise can he ask the monks guarding the library to take out the complete exercises from the secret library and give them to him.
It means that if he wants, he can use his memory to get the first three levels of this technique for vain.
However, Wang Ping had no interest in this.
This "Bi Shui Xuan Gong" looks really good. As long as you cultivate to the first three levels, you can master a magical power called "Bi Shui Xuan Guang", and your defense will not be worse than that of first-level top-grade magic.
However, the martial arts also mentioned above. Even if a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage switches to this martial art, he will need at least three years of hard work to achieve the first three levels.
For such a magical power that is only equivalent to a first-level top-grade magic, Wang Ping wasted three years of his practice.
Moreover, judging from the description of the subsequent situation in the beginning of this technique, whether in terms of cultivation speed or the power of the accompanying supernatural powers, it is definitely not as good as the "Shuiyue Illusion Heart Art" he is practicing now.
After putting down this book "Bi Shu Xuan Gong", Wang Ping picked up another martial art called "The True Art of Rage".
But this time he just read the opening description and shook his head and put down the martial arts.
The opening description of this book "The True Art of Rage" is nothing wrong, and it can even be said to be very attractive.
This exercise is divided into seven levels. The first three levels correspond to the Qi refining stage, the middle three levels correspond to the Foundation Building stage, and the latter one corresponds to the Dan-building stage.
Starting from the first level of cultivation, the cultivators who have practiced the "Rich Wave True Art" will have a magic power of one percent deeper than those of cultivators of the same level who practiced general skills. In the late stage of foundation building, their magic power will be 50 percent deeper than those of cultivators of the same level.
However, the practice of this technique is very dangerous, and there are often the possibility of injuring the meridians and dantian. In the past, four or five of the ten monks who practiced this technique were almost destroyed, and some people even died because of this!
It would be fine if it was just like this. With this "Rich Wave True Art" that can make the magic power of immortals much deeper than that of cultivators of the same level, there will definitely be monks who will take the risk of practicing the first three levels of this technique to improve their magic capacity.
But when someone tried this with this idea, he soon discovered that once he made his major practice of martial arts exceed the "Rudao True Art", the increase in the magic power brought by practicing "Rudao True Art" will disappear.
This made this technique completely unattended.
So after reading the opening description, Wang Ping put down this technique directly.
Later, he picked up another martial art called "Xuanyi Zhenshui Jue".
The opening description of this book "Xuanyi Zhenshui Jue" is also very good at first glance. It has seven levels in total, corresponding to the foundation-building stage, the Dan-Cracking stage and the Nascent Soul stage, and can be cultivated to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage.
Moreover, after practicing the first level of the method, you can master a magical power called "Xuanyi Zhenshui". After the subsequent level of the exercises is improved, you can master more other accompanying magical powers.
However, this seemingly good technique also has restrictions that Wang Ping could give up at a glance.
First of all, this technique is explained at the beginning that since it is extremely difficult to condense the "Xuanyi True Water", only a double-spirited spiritual root cultivator with the qualification of water movement spiritual root can practice this technique normally.
Although the five elements mixed with spiritual root qualifications like Wang Ping are not unable to practice this technique, the speed of cultivation in the future will be greatly reduced.
This alone eliminates the possibility of cultivators with non-dual spiritual root qualifications practicing this technique.
After all, the goal of cultivating immortals and seeking Taoism is to pursue immortality, and only by constantly breaking through to a higher level of cultivation can one greatly extend his life and approach this goal.
And one sect will affect the speed of one's own cultivation. No matter how great its benefits are, few immortals dare to practice.
Not to mention that if you want to make a breakthrough after practicing the "Xuanyi Zhen Water Art", you have to refine various water-moving spiritual objects, many of which are spiritual objects that even the alchemy cultivators have to compete for.
Next, as he watched other exercises, Wang Ping quickly discovered a rule.
Generally, the more you practice, the more magical powers or powerful martial arts you can get, no matter where your upper limit can reach, there will be great risks when practicing, or there are cultivation requirements that ordinary monks cannot achieve.
For example, the "Shuiyue Illusion Heart Art" and the "Raging Wave True Art" he practiced, one can greatly increase the spiritual power of the cultivator, and the other can greatly increase the magic power of the cultivator, but both have the risk of the cultivator's death at any time.
There are also techniques like "Xuanyi Zhenshui Jue" that seem to be good in all aspects and have no dangerous restrictions. In fact, not everyone can practice it, and it is not so easy to practice it to a high level.
This also helped Wang Ping to relieve a previous doubt.
When he saw a "Dimensional Art of Earth" bid for 9,200 low-grade spirit stones in the underground market on Shipan Island, he was confused.
Why can you practice this kind of sect to the early stage of the Nascent Soul, and after practicing, it also comes with powerful attacking magical powers, and only sells such a little spiritual stone.
Now he understood everything.
Obviously, there must be extremely strict practice restrictions or extremely dangerous practice processes after the seemingly gorgeous introduction of the "Dimen Yan Xuan Gong".
It is estimated that many foundation-building monks who participated in the bidding at that time also knew about this, so they did not bid wildly for this technique.
Another thing is that as long as the exercises are not the original, they are something that can be transmitted by copying them at will.
Especially for this kind of martial arts that flow from the underground market, there must be a problem with the origin. No one knows whether they will attract some powerful and irresistible enemy after practicing.
In a word, there is no price to be strong without any strength.
There may be such skills that can bring powerful magical powers and greatly enhance the magical power after cultivation, but they are definitely not something that most immortal cultivators can practice.
For most immortals, when choosing to major in practice, they have to face a choice.
Should I choose the kind of exercise that is easy to practice but weak in magical powers, or the kind of exercise that is difficult to practice but can bring powerful combat power.
Wang Ping had no choice at that time, otherwise if he had made a choice now, it would have really made him difficult for a long time.
At this time, after reading these techniques, he immediately moved to the bookshelf where various secret techniques were stored and checked the various secret techniques on it.
There are twenty or thirty secret techniques collected in the Golden Water Gate Library, covering various types, and many of them even know that they are secret techniques of the magic secret technique just by looking at the name.
Wang Ping saw the secret method of the Truth Blood Curse that Qi Changge, the manager of the Punishment Hall, used on him and others.
To be honest, Wang Ping wanted to learn many of the various secret techniques recorded here after reading the purpose introduction.
Unfortunately, he can only take away one of the secret techniques from here to practice.
This is really a difficult choice!
It took Wang Ping less than three quarters of an hour to read all the introductions of the secret techniques, but it took him half an hour to make a choice.
Once you decide, choose this one!
After hesitating for half an hour, Wang Ping suddenly gritted his teeth, reached out and picked up one of the secret books called "The Art of Correcting the Fa and Clearing the Heart", and strode out the door.
Not long after, Wang Ping, who came out of the library, returned to the main hall of the Jinshui Gate.
Han Yunsheng had been waiting for him for a long time at this time. When he saw him coming back, he immediately handed over the things he got.
"According to the sect's rules, new foundation-building monks can obtain one intermediate magical storage bag, one intermediate magic robe, a set of basic array equipment, and five medium-grade spirit stones. In the future, they can also receive an annual salary of two medium-grade spirit stones from the sect every year."
"But Junior Brother Wang, you are a formation master, so Han won't give you the basic array equipment. In addition, it is converted into five medium-grade spirit stones for you. What do you think?"
In the main hall of the sect, Han Yunsheng looked at Wang Ping who had returned, and without asking him what secret method he had chosen, he directly talked about his welfare.
"The senior brother of the sect is very thoughtful, and Wang has no objection."
Wang Ping nodded, and had no objection to Han Yunsheng's flexible arrangements.
These are just trivial matters and are not worth talking about.
After thanking Han Yunsheng, he left the head hall and headed to Mingkong's cave again.
Before going to the cave on Yinhuan Island to practice, Wang Ping must first ask Mingkong what he planned and when he would hand over the formation inheritance to him.
"I have already compiled the inheritance of the formation. If you didn't come back, after I sat down, I would hand it over to the head Junior Brother Han, and ask his future generations to choose a suitable successor."
"Now that you have returned from building the foundation, that's the best, but so I can hand them over to you with confidence, and don't worry about being entrusted with it!"
In the cave, Mingkong didn't mind Wang Ping's intention at all after learning about his intent, so he immediately gave him a positive answer.
After answering Wang Ping's incident, he changed his mind again and suddenly looked at Wang Ping and asked, "But I still have a few doubts in my heart that you need to solve them. I wonder if you are willing to solve them?"
"Mr. Please tell me."
Wang Ping's eyes moved and he waved his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
Seeing this, Mingkong immediately asked out the doubts he had suppressed before.
Wang Ping did not hide anything at all, and soon told him about his "accidental encounter" Luo Bingli, fully satisfying Mingkong's curiosity.
After the question was answered, Mingkong also satisfied and reached out to pat the storage bag, and took out the formation book he had written himself.
There are three scriptures of formations taken out by him, each of which is hundreds of pages thick. They are all made of special spiritual paper that does not soak in water and fire, and does not bite insects and ants. The number of words recorded in each scripture is no less than one million words, including many illustrations.
At this moment, he looked at the three formation books that he had devoted his life to his life, and his expression was extremely complicated, with pride, proud, and reluctant to leave.
For him, these three formation scripts are his children, and he regards them as more important than his own life.
It is also because he wants to find a suitable entrusted person for his "child" and not let his lifelong efforts be ruined, that he looks at Wang Ping so differently.
He stretched out his wrinkled palm and gently stroked the three classics, just like he stroked the child's tender and smooth face, and said to himself softly: "The three "Mingkong Heart Experience" are my lifelong hard work. It not only contains the various formation arrangement methods that I know, learn, and understand, but also my experience of breaking the formation, unraveling the formation and refining the formation equipment."
"It's not that I'm talking big. Anyone who can learn and master 70% of the knowledge in these three books "Mingkong Xin Experience" can be called a master of formation!"
Wang Ping didn't know whether he was talking big or not.
But at this time, Wang Ping certainly would not say anything disappointing.
He immediately promised with a solemn expression: "Don't worry, uncle, I will definitely read and study uncle's works seriously and carefully, and I will never let my lifelong hard work be buried in my disciples!"
When Mingkong heard his words, his eyes flashed instantly, and his eyes looked at him brightly.
After staring at him for a full half-quarter of an hour, he pushed the three classics hard in front of him, and said hoarsely: "If you pass on it, don't let it break the inheritance on you. This is my only wish in this life!"
"Yes, the disciples will definitely remember the advice of the uncle, and will never let the uncle's hard work be cut off from the inheritance!"
Wang Ping nodded solemnly and responded in a deep voice.
Then he saw that Mingkong had no other instructions, so he raised his hand and put the three classics into his storage bag.
Chapter completed!
