A life of clearness

Chapter 71 I Want an Explanation

The wealth that Chu Yuan possesses is too astonishing, even if only the tip of the iceberg is revealed.

Rong Qing hid her shock on her face, took a deep breath, and opened the storage bag...

Above his head, layers of spiritual energy were falling. All around his body, layers of spiritual energy were rushing around him.

But all of these are not as fast as the speed at which Rong Qing's meridians absorb it.

For ordinary cultivators, being able to open several meridians is already a great achievement. In the limited time of cultivation, some cultivators will choose to open the meridians, while others will choose to give up fighting, not spend time and materials to open the meridians, and concentrate on breaking through the realm. But even for cultivators who choose to open the meridians, they don't have the capital to open all the meridians, and most of them open the main meridians corresponding to their own spiritual roots. Or some cultivators with strange magic will open the main meridians or secondary meridians. If the magic is not very powerful, compared with the cost of opening the meridians, it will not be worth it.

Rong Qing is different from others. Even though she was not born with all the meridians open, her meridians are already fully open. This means that the amount of spiritual energy consumed for each advancement of her cultivation is tens of millions times that of others. It also means that if she wants to practice higher-level skills and techniques, her meridians will no longer be an obstacle for her, but a stepping stone for her. If she fights with others, the abundant and majestic spiritual energy in her meridians will give her a great chance of winning.

A large amount of spiritual energy rushed through Rong Qing's meridians. This spiritual energy originally had no owner, but after she refined it, it became Rong Qing's spiritual power, and from then on she could control it at will.

Rong Qing had already had the experience of breaking through to the Jindan stage once, and this time, the process of breaking through to the Jindan stage was even more smooth.

In the Dantian, the spiritual energy was thick and became liquid, like a full autumn pond. When it was full to a limit... a natural change quietly occurred.

The Dantian suddenly contracted inwards and gathered. Rong Qing understood that this was the body's instinct to make a leap in the level of life. She didn't need to understand the reason, it would happen naturally. The many experiences and summary of the predecessors were all for the later generations to avoid taking detours and wrong paths at this step.

Rong Qing's mind was fixed firmly on the changes in her dantian.

"It's almost done." Although the place where Dantian was originally located was in chaos, Rong Qing knew that this was the last stage before Dantian was formed.

Suddenly, a dragon roar was heard.

"Huh?" She separated part of her mind and returned to the spiritual platform in the sea of ​​consciousness. The emerald green Yinglong, which was originally the first floor, slowly opened its eyes. Without opening its mouth, the clear whistle echoed in Rong Qing's meridians. "Could there be another change?" Rong Qing was not anxious. At least, she did not feel threatened, and even Chu Yuan, who was protecting her, did not move.

When she had broken through to the Golden Core, she didn't have this so-called Yinglong, and her sea of ​​consciousness was just average. Therefore, she had no experience to refer to for this change. She had to give in to the evolution of her body.

The emerald green Yinglong suddenly flew up from the spirit platform and flapped its wings to fly down.

"Not good!" Rong Qing was instantly shocked by this change. But she was too late to stop it. Even though this was her own body, people's control over their bodies was not 100%. For example, people could not control their heartbeats and breathing. As for the more mysterious and unpredictable sea of ​​consciousness, it was even more impossible to fully control it.

Rong Qing watched helplessly as the emerald green dragon crossed many meridians and headed straight for the elixir field in an instant. It was still a chaos there, but as it continued to shrink, it had the shape of a golden elixir. The emerald green dragon just plunged in, as if it wanted to be remade.

"Even though it flew out of the spiritual platform, the first floor did not collapse." Rong Qing pondered, and his mind swept over the spiritual platform again and again, but the spiritual platform was still empty. "Originally, it was already very strange to use the dragon body as the first floor. Now, it is even more proven that my first floor is actually invisible. But the spiritual consciousness is still at the level of the first floor, without any decline."

Rong Qing thought back to the many Taoist scriptures she had read. There were many introductions to building buildings on the spiritual platform, but Rong Qing's initial situation did not match that of most people.

As we all know, the body can be cultivated, and so can the soul. However, the soul is important and mysterious, and there are almost no techniques or methods for cultivating the soul. Now, the cultivators can only rely on their own qualifications and opportunities to cultivate their souls. For cultivators with excellent qualifications and successful cultivation, a spiritual platform will gradually transform in their sea of ​​consciousness. The larger the spiritual platform, the stronger the soul. However, the expansion of this spiritual platform also has a limit. Therefore, there is a distinction between high and low.

It could be a life-and-death struggle, or a chance to inherit a mysterious inheritance... On the spiritual platform, one can break through again and build the first floor. With the first floor, everyone can imagine that there will be a second floor, a third floor... As for the limit, it is still unclear. Maybe someone would like to know, but no one dares to ask the most powerful sword master in this world.

It is called a building because there is a shape on the spiritual platform. Most of them are transformed by the cultivator's own thoughts. It is the deepest impression of the person's karma. Whether it is a book building or a tower, it is very related to his experience.

When Rong Qing saw the first floor built with the dragon's body, she felt strange, but she was also quite happy. After all, it looked special and domineering. But now, it didn't even look like that... Even if she came to see it in person, she couldn't see any clues. She couldn't tell that there had been a floor here before.

"I don't know if this change is good or bad. If it's good, it's fine. If it's bad... I don't know if it will affect the construction of the second floor." Rong Qing's worry is not unreasonable. Following the footsteps of predecessors, you can still surpass them. But if you want to explore on your own, the possibility of failure of the experiment will increase greatly.

The path of cultivation is full of dangers and is no joke.

Even though Rong Qing had many concerns in her mind, the golden elixir still slowly took shape under her watchful eyes. Its surface was smooth, and it became smaller as it solidified. In the end, it was even smaller than the elixir she had formed at the beginning.

But Rong Qing was not disappointed. It was because although the golden elixir was smaller, its quality was obviously higher. Its surface was covered with mysterious patterns. The Yinglong that had originally drilled into it seemed to have some kind of mysterious connection with the golden elixir. The dragon body swam around the golden elixir, and the spiritual energy and breathing were faintly resonating with it.

"It seems there have been some changes." Rong Qing thought, "I need to experiment a bit before I can compare them."

Immediately, he began to absorb the spiritual energy around him with all his strength.

The spiritual energy storm in the quiet room was even more violent. Seeing this, Chu Yuan raised his hand and pressed lightly, adding more restrictions within three feet of Rong Qing's body. This move could slow down the speed of the spiritual energy flowing in. However, if Rong Qing tried her best to absorb it, once the spiritual energy was absorbed into the three feet around her body, its concentration increased exponentially, almost like liquid.

“Sure enough, the speed of absorbing spiritual energy and converting it into spiritual power is comparable to when I was half a step into the state of spiritual transformation.”

Such an increase is extremely terrifying. Rong Qing couldn't help but think of the geniuses of the time. Not to mention Dasi Mingmo and others, just Chu Yuan who is now beside her, he has too many resources and opportunities, even if he gave her a little, it would be so useful to Rong Qing. Chu Yuan's real combat power, even if he is not a god-transforming cultivator, she feels that he will not be defeated by a god-transforming cultivator.

The benefits brought by the changes of this golden elixir are far more than this...

Early stage of golden elixir, middle stage of golden elixir, late stage of golden elixir... At the same time, Rong Qing's sea of ​​consciousness was also changing. The sea of ​​consciousness was expanding like a tsunami, and the spiritual platform deep in the sea of ​​consciousness also began to expand slowly. "The speed of the sea of ​​consciousness expansion is almost the same as the speed of absorbing spiritual energy. Building the first floor cannot cause this result. It can only be that the golden elixir has changed and has a mysterious connection with the sea of ​​consciousness and the spiritual platform. And this connection is because of the Emerald Yinglong and the pill. This is why it can absorb spiritual energy and enhance the strength of the cultivation and soul at the same time."

Even Rong Qing would be shocked by the implication behind this.

She didn't need to accept any kind of inheritance, nor did she need to take risks in life-and-death battles. As long as she continued to practice and improve her cultivation, her soul strength would naturally increase simultaneously. Even though she couldn't see how to build the second floor at the moment, this expanded sea of ​​consciousness and spiritual platform were her obvious advantages.

Rong Qing exhaled slowly and opened her eyes. Now, her cultivation has been completely consolidated to the level of perfect Dan. Why not go one step further to form a Nascent Soul? First, breaking through the Nascent Soul will attract thunder tribulation, so it is better to keep a low profile in other people's territory in Cangliuzhou. Second, there is not enough time.

Rong Qing looked at the large amount of stone chips piled up outside the restriction, coughed lightly, and put them all into the storage bag. She used up half of the entire spiritual stone vein given by Chu Yuan, and this was with the assistance of the top-level vein above her head. Therefore, the resources of a high-level cultivator are not something that ordinary sects can afford.

Everyone is fighting for resources.

"It's almost time." Rong Qing counted the time carefully with her fingers. In the quiet room, isolated from the outside world, it was not difficult to imagine how lively it was outside at the moment.

This grand event attracted almost all the monks of Cangliu Continent to gather around the Dengtian Terrace, numbering as many as one million.

Fighting methods of all levels of cultivation appeared, even the Yuanying and Half-step Divine Transformation cultivators who usually lived in seclusion were common in the Tiantai Arena. Even the extremely proud Tianjiao people in other continents would appear one by one!

"I'll go see which arena is mine!" Rong Qing stood up and walked out.

Sure enough, the quiet room where Chu Yuan lived was a perfect place to find peace in the midst of noise. This place was very close to the Tiantai, but it was hidden among many large buildings, and at the same time, it was guarded by many forbidden formations, so no one dared to trespass.

Chu Yuan followed silently behind him.

Rong Qing looked up at the sky that was replaced by the forest of steles. Like countless other cultivators beside her, the great event of the beginning of the universe began with the strange change of the steles.

She had heard about it, and now she saw it with her own eyes, the scene was even more magnificent. The stone tablet with the words "Cang Liu" was originally the largest one. But now, it is no longer.

The densely packed stone tablets continued to grow larger in everyone's sight, and the words on the tablets were now clearly visible. Others might not recognize them, but Rong Qing knew these words that came from the same origin. "Fu Tao, Tian Zhong, Dong Hu... If the two words Cangliu represent Cangliuzhou, then I don't know what other stone tablets represent. Where are these places?"

Rong Qing's first reaction was that it was further south of Cangliuzhou. It was too unknown and almost a mystery.

Until these numerous stone tablets no longer changed, and the sizes of the stone tablets on the sky were exactly the same.

A figure suddenly appeared in the sky, almost within arm's reach of those huge stone tablets?
"Everyone, this time the opening ceremony is the same as usual, with a total of 10,000 places available." The man was slim and fat, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Rong Qing recognized the voice.

So this is the mysterious yet hardworking inspector, she sighed inwardly.

"... All the rules remain unchanged. After ten days, the last person on each stage will be qualified to participate." Even though the inspector was speaking from high in the sky, his voice still rang clearly in the ears of every cultivator. "The cultivators of our continent must do their best to fight for this opportunity."

"Follow the orders of the inspector." Millions of monks shouted in unison. The momentum was extremely shocking!
The Inspector's reputation in Cangliuzhou is self-evident.

He nodded with satisfaction. His left hand clenched and a jade slip appeared. As soon as the jade slip appeared, it attracted countless burning gazes.

The requirements for each place were sealed inside the jade slip, and the inspector did not know it in advance. He could only receive the jade slip when the stele forest was fully opened. He scanned it with his spiritual consciousness, read it carefully, and then opened the restriction on ascending the terrace.

The originally suspended platforms all fell to the ground, making a loud noise that shook the ground beneath their feet. On each platform, the spiritual root requirements appeared. There were 10,000 platforms, and some of them had the same spiritual root requirements, which required the participants to choose for themselves.

Rong Qing quickly searched for the one that matched her spiritual roots among the ten thousand platforms. At the same time, a cultivator had already occupied one with great confidence, laughing.

Gold spiritual root? No.

Water and wood spiritual roots? No.

Fire Spiritual Root? No.

……

With Rong Qing's spiritual strength, she could see clearly in less than a breath that none of the ten thousand platforms were suitable for her spiritual roots.

"What's going on?" Rong Qing felt extremely angry at being deceived.

She turned to look at Chu Yuan beside her, her eyes were extremely cold. "There is a quota for three spiritual roots, but it is not gold, wood or earth. Give me an explanation."
