Ning Ping walked in immediately and looked up. It was quite deserted at the moment. Unlike other affairs halls that were crowded, Ning Ping found an empty counter and walked over. "Excuse me, are you accepting a task or renting one?" The affairs officer behind the counter was immediately excited when he saw someone coming. Not to mention that these affairs officers are also a kind of task, but they are too popular. They don't have to face all kinds of dangers but can have a good income. They are often taken up as soon as they appear, but the fierce competition is also obvious. "I want to know first, how is this alchemy room rented, and is there anyone here to guide?" "Alchemy rooms are divided into grades. Grade A is five spirit stones a day, Grade B is 3 spirit stones a day, and Grade C is one spirit stone a day. There is no guidance inside. No one disturbs them." Ning Ping frowned slightly and asked in disappointment: "Then where is there a place to learn alchemy?" The affairs officer immediately understood that the person in front of him was a little boy with a dream of alchemy, and he spoke in a friendly manner. "No one teaches you. You either have great luck and are accepted by an alchemist, or you have to study on your own. But if you have to rely on yourself, I advise you to practice honestly. It's too difficult to make a name for yourself." "Ah! What about the many casual practitioners who want to make pills?" The official thought for a while and continued: "If you really want to give it a try, you can only go to the bookstore and comprehend it yourself. By the way, the bookstore is next to the city lord's mansion, but it costs a lot."
After a conversation, Ning Ping retreated. His destination was the bookstore mentioned by the official. He had passed by it just now. Although he didn't ask how much it cost, he must go and take a look. When he returned to the square again, Guangming Bookstore was in front of him. It was a huge building with ancient simplicity and solemnity, even comparable to the Merchant Alliance. "One spiritual stone a day, books cannot be taken out, and they are not sold to the public." A pretty female official took a token and put it on the counter. After Ning Ping understood and handed over the spirit stone, he put away the token. A closer look revealed that the token was used to record time. Then he walked around a huge screen and went inside. A sea of books appeared in front of him. There were various categories such as miscellaneous news, alchemy, refining, skills, and experience. At the same time, some people were also immersed in reading. At this moment, Ning Ping gave up the idea of going straight to the alchemy category. The reason was that his understanding of some common sense in the world of cultivation was too poor. He went to the category of miscellaneous news. "Detailed Explanation of the World of Cultivation", "Funny News from Foreign Lands", "Guangming City Chronicles" and other books came into view neatly. Ning Ping picked up one and started to study. Ning Ping flipped through the books very quickly. Now his memory has been greatly improved. He remembered the content firmly in his mind at a glance while flipping through the books. As time passed, Ning Ping also had a general impression of the world of cultivation. The place where they were located was a planet called ‘Soul Source’, which was extremely large. It was said that few people had ever set foot on the entire planet. There was not only one cultivation city, Guangming City, on the planet, but many such cities, some of which were more than ten times larger than Guangming City. The major forces were mainly cultivation families, and the bloodline inheritance brought cohesion, combined with the continuous accumulation and contribution of generations, eventually forming a powerful force. Bloodline and interests were the main theme of the cultivation world. Some casual cultivators, in order to survive in the cracks, also produced many sects. At this time, Ning Ping instantly thought of the Nanhua Gate where he once lived. People who cultivate Taoism for immortality are destined to be born cold and selfish. Even if the most powerful sects are purely connected by interests, they are still like loose sand. Occasionally, a few powerful heroes appear, which may bring the sect into a period of glory, but this cannot last long. The glory will eventually go with the hero, and the sect will eventually fall into desolation. However, the bloodline family has avoided some of these problems in some aspects, so it can survive for a long time, and become stronger with the accumulation of time. For example, the Yun family we learned today, the entire Guangming City is controlled by the Yun family. And from all the books, no other cities are mentioned. It is not difficult to think that this is to protect the interests of Guangming City. Of course, the cultivation cities mentioned are often far away from each other, which is also related to a certain extent. After all, a city with people is called a city. Some basic consensus in the cultivation world is also mentioned, such as not killing mortals without reason, and all cultivators will punish those who violate it. There are also some other things, such as not flying with swords in the city, and strictly prohibiting private fighting. For example, the spiritual consciousness of cultivators can only sense others by ability, and they cannot directly scan. This is a taboo and is despised by all cultivators. Of course, Ning Ping now understands that as long as the cultivator's soul power covers the whole body at all times, since it is basically not consumed by the body, it is implicitly related to the rules of heaven and earth. The human body is like a natural barrier. Others cannot explore it in detail unless the realm gap is too large, or the soul is too strong, like a freak like himself. So all cultivators maintain this habit. Although it can only detect the cultivation level, it is also a very non-offensive behavior.
So when this method was told to Shen Qingyao later, both of them were inevitably extremely embarrassed, and the person who worked with Shen Qingyao told her on the first day of work. However, Ning Ping thought that the above rules were just talk. Rules are used to restrain the weak. It can only be said that it is better to have such rules than not to have them. Ning Ping also has a deeper understanding of this. Isn't this what he encountered? However, many of the above are his own speculations, but the pursuit of extreme interests and ruthlessness are the main characteristics of cultivators. Of course, there are some strange stories, but they are not within Ning Ping's interest, and they all pass by. After a preliminary understanding, Ning Ping came to the cultivator experience area, which has a detailed description of the situation of cultivation. At a glance, he took out a book "Detailed Explanation of Cultivation Realm" and read it carefully. According to the cultivation level, cultivators are divided into Qi Refining Stage, Foundation Building Stage, Golden Core Stage, and Nascent Soul Stage. After that, there is no mention. That is already an unattainable existence. Even the Nascent Soul Stage has not heard of any forces at present. Each major realm is further divided into ten small realms according to the cultivation level. When you reach the peak, you can try to break through to the next realm, which brings about a leap-forward growth in cultivation strength. The successful awakening of the spirit is the Qi Refining Stage, which mainly uses the exercises to refine the spiritual energy and transform it into one's own Yuanli. At this moment, the cultivator has a divine consciousness, which can be used to vaguely explore and sense things around him. As the amount of refined spiritual energy increases, the Yuanli in the body reaches a certain peak in the body, which is the moment of breaking through the foundation-building stage. When the Yuanli in the body is completely liquefied during the breakthrough, it has entered the foundation-building stage. At this moment, you can fly for a long time with the powerful Yuanli, and the sensing ability of the divine consciousness is further enhanced. When the foundation-building stage is cultivated to the peak, it is the condensation of the golden elixir and entering the golden elixir stage. The Yuanli is endless under the blessing of the golden elixir, and the body can fly autonomously without any loss of Yuanli. At this state, the soul in the body is transformed into the Yuanshen, and the divine consciousness can also be released, like an invisible hand of oneself, and everything is visible wherever the divine consciousness goes. When the Golden Core Stage is reached, the elixir is broken and an infant is formed, achieving the powerful Nascent Soul stage. At this time, the Yuan Power is as vast as the sea and can be used at will. The power of heaven and earth can be attracted by a wave of the hand. The Yuan Spirit condenses into an infant at this moment, which is like a clone of the original body and can perform certain magic.
