Practice begins with a fisherman

An empty jade bottle next to it contains two second-order middle-grade ink grass elixir, which is also a relatively unpopular elixir that can be used to improve one's cultivation.

The main raw material of the ink grass elixir is the demon pill of the second-grade middle-grade sea beast ink tortoise. For some unknown reason, no matter how the alchemist refines it, part of the impurities in the elixir are removed by methods.

After refining the panacea, the monks need to excrete the impurities mixed in it little by little with mana, and what they bring is a kind of unpopular panacea that is thankless.

This special panacea would not be easily taken by monks of many sects, but it was also a good choice for monks such as Zhao Shoushou who did not have a fixed source of panacea.

In addition, a jade box in front of him contained five relatively rare and precious demon pills that were saved from hunting sea beasts in the open sea.

At this time, in order to improve his cultivation, Zhao Shoushou put all his eggs in one basket and carried out all the refinements. All the purpose was to find the opportunity to break through the late stage of foundation establishment as soon as possible.

Fuli elixir is not considered the top elixir among the same level, but it has the best effect on him, so he is ready to take it at the last moment.

"Huh? Communication talisman? Could it be that something happened to Gourd Spirit Island?" After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Shoushou finally opened his eyes and found the talisman that had been spinning outside the shielding formation.

A monk does not meditate all the time during his practice, he will wake up occasionally, the purpose is just to relax his mind.

During the retreat period, there are no more than two situations that have been practicing intensively without any pause. First, the cultivation level has been advancing by leaps and bounds, and the monks will not be aware of the passage of time when they fall into it.

The second is that Shouyuan is close to life or death. At this time, the purpose of the monks is nothing more than trying to stimulate the final potential through this kind of violent pressure. It is a kind of survival in death. Way.

Since Zhao Shoushou is not currently among the two, it is quite normal for him to be sober for a period of time during the retreat process. This is what Zhao Baihua and Fu Yuehua have been waiting for.

"It can be called hard work. It is not impossible to build the Fuzhuan Hall and the Artifact Refining Hall. Unfortunately, there are very few fires in the overseas cultivation world, and we can only use the fire of spirit wood. Both stability and strength are inferior. It seems that he has no reason to object to such a matter that is beneficial to the development of Hululing Island.

And through this incident, it can also be found that the two newly recruited monks are sincere about the development of Hululing Island, but they can give more authorization.

After all, this retreat was within the acceptable range of at least three to five years, and at most one to twenty years. After returning the communication talisman, he no longer cared about the changes in the outside world.

As the deputy island owner, Zhao Baihua has received sufficient authorization, except for some time to heal his injuries, he has devoted almost all of his energy to the development of Lingdao.

A series of measures are trying to strengthen the foundation of Hulu Lingdao, and the effect is naturally immediate. The sales volume of various resources of Huluxuan has at least doubled every day.

Huluxuan is a store affiliated to HLD in Fangshi. At present, it not only sells a more complete range of items, but thanks to the successful completion of the Fuzhuan Hall and the Refining Hall, the sales price has also dropped significantly, and the profit has decreased is constantly rising.

Among them, the talismans are the most famous. At the end of each month, three to five second-tier low-grade water attribute talismans are sold, which is even more fiercely contested by monks.

The quality of a large number of first-order talismans is also higher than before, all of which are due to the continuous improvement of the level of the talisman hall under the careful guidance of Fu Yuehua.

Chapter 391 The Unattainable Late Stage of Foundation Establishment

At present, Fuzhuantang has six first-level low-grade talisman makers, four first-level middle-grade talisman makers, one first-level high-grade talisman makers, and more than [-] carefully selected apprentices, who can produce various types of talisman every day. There are more than a hundred first-order talisman seals.

This alone can earn Hulu Lingdao at least 200 yuan of low-grade spirit stones, even though most of them are low-grade first-grade talismans.

Most of the eleven talisman makers in the Fuzhuan Hall are old friends or apprentices who have given some guidance to Fairy Shuixiu during the Qi refining period, so they are all relatively reliable.

And most of these monks are also mainly casual cultivators, and it is quite precious to be able to stabilize on a second-tier middle-grade spirit island that has sufficient spiritual power supply and will soon have monks in the late stage of foundation establishment.

As long as there are no major changes, the development of the Fuzhuantang will definitely get better and better as time goes by, not to mention that there is a skilled second-level low-grade talisman maker here to give guidance.

To sum up, these monks obviously had no reason to defect, after all, what they mastered were just some popular skills.

Relatively speaking, the situation in the Artifact Refining Hall is much worse. Even if Zhao Baihua personally recruited them, there are only two or three cats, big and small.

The craftsmen who are willing to come here are monks with low level, relatively high failure rate, and quite embarrassing in the outside world, and all of them are the lowest first-order low-grade.

In the case of sufficient supplies of various raw materials, only three to five simple low-grade first-grade magical artifacts are produced every day, which leads to the fact that most of the magical artifacts supplied to Gourd Xuan are made by Zhao Baihua himself.

With the same raw materials and the same firepower conditions, the magic weapon of the same level born in the hands of a monk in the foundation building period is naturally of higher quality than a first-level craftsman in the Qi refining period.

Fortunately, the demand for magical artifacts during this period of time is not high, otherwise the majestic deputy island owner of Hululing Island would spend all day in the newly built refining hall wielding a sledgehammer to refine magical artifacts.

Even though problems of one kind or another often occur during this process, the significance of the emergence of the Fuzhuan Hall and the Artifact Refining Hall to Hululing Island cannot be erased.

There was a time when Fairy Shuixiu even had the idea of ​​building an alchemy hall, but unfortunately after several searches, even a low-rank alchemist of the first rank was unwilling to come.

In fact, this is also normal, as long as the alchemy rate of each furnace can be guaranteed to be [-]%, an alchemist can guarantee to pay back the cost, and one more spirit stone will be white.

In the realm of self-cultivation, every alchemist is a walking treasure trove. There is absolutely no exaggeration in this sentence. If this is the case, why would you want to join Hululing Island?

Of course, some cultivators tried to interrupt this process due to various reasons. Unfortunately, they miscalculated Zhao Baihua's combat power and underestimated Hululingdao's true strength.

The two attacking third-level foundation-building monks fell into the siege of Zhao Baihua, Fu Yuehua, two cormorants, and a hundred-flower snake before they could make a move.

Although apart from Zhao Baihua, the rest of the monks and spirit beasts were inferior in strength, it still did not affect the performance of the crowd tactics. The two poor unknown monks were killed and injured.

After this battle, all kinds of small means of making troubles belonging to the surrounding spiritual islands disappeared in an instant. Facts have proved that only fists can win a higher status for themselves in the cultivation world.

Everything outside is thriving, embarking on a virtuous cycle of development, but Zhao Shoushou, who is in retreat, is caught in a new predicament.

With the assistance of sufficient spiritual power and the lotus carp elixir, there is no problem for a person who has just entered the sixth level of foundation building to improve in a straight line, and can be promoted to the peak state within three years.

However, with the improvement of cultivation base, instead, there is a preliminary understanding of the bottleneck between the middle stage of foundation establishment and the late stage of foundation establishment.

Originally thought that with the help of the two elixir herbs, Qiling Grass and Xiangyun Seven Star Grass, the idea that he could quickly break through the bottleneck and advance to the later stage of Foundation Establishment was instantly shattered.

The bottleneck between the two realms is like a mountain that is so overwhelming that people can't breathe. Flies can shake trees, but they can't shake mountains.

This is just a corner he can see with his current cultivation base. Now Zhao Shoushou is like a warrior who is climbing a mountain step by step. The closer the distance is, the more clear and in-depth understanding it is for its magnificence.

"The gap between the middle stage of foundation establishment and the late stage of foundation establishment is so large? No wonder that once promoted to the late stage of foundation establishment, the status and strength of monks will be significantly improved. Today, someone understands." Zhao Shoushou muttered to himself, but in his heart No intention of retreating at all.

If it goes smoothly, how can it show Zhao's demeanor?Going up against the wind and conquering all the difficulties one by one is the true quality of a man.

Soon, the last ray of doubts in Dao Dao's mind disappeared completely, instead, bursts of pride arose, and a brand new Great Zhou was launched according to the exercises of "Congealing Water Jue".

The aura condensed from the surroundings formed large and small vortexes, which merged into Zhao Shoushou's body from different directions with an attitude visible to the naked eye, and in the process turned into a little mana to become the center of the turbulent sea in the dantian. part of it.

This is the case with the cultivation of monks. Through a little bit of progress, the ultimate improvement of cultivation is a profession that needs to endure loneliness and great perseverance to persevere.

No matter how indestructible the bottleneck facing us seems, we need to try it out when we are really qualified to approach it.

Zhao Shoushou's current task is to refine the surrounding spiritual power as soon as possible, fill up the current pit with a lot of mana, and move forward step by step.

Time is also passing away little by little in this kind of continuous efforts, one month, one year, two years, until the middle of the third year, when all ten carp elixir are consumed, his cultivation base can be regarded as truly reached The real peak level in the middle stage of foundation establishment.

At this time, the mana refined after every big cycle cannot really be integrated into the dantian, but quickly dissipates in the body, which is the best sign of a person who has reached the peak of his cultivation.

At this time, on the contrary, you can feel more clearly that you were standing in front of the bottleneck like Yuan Ruyue before. If you want to succeed, there are two ways.

First, the Foolish Old Man moves the mountain or the water drips through the stone, through water grinding to break through the bottleneck bit by bit. This is also the choice of most monks in the cultivation world. It takes time and effort but is better than a stable foundation;

Second, use some special means to build a channel between the dantian and the top of the bottleneck. The advantage is that it is quick and convenient, but the disadvantage is that it needs enough excellent qualifications and a lot of treasures to help. Too many regrets.

"Enlightenment Grass and Auspicious Cloud Seven Star Grass, I think they are planning to adopt the second method, but unfortunately Mr. Zhao's qualifications are far from enough, he can only be a foolish old man who moves mountains." Zhao Shoushou couldn't help laughing at himself in a low voice.

Chapter 392 Building the Seventh Floor of the Foundation ([-])

Although the latter method is convenient and fast, it can help him break through the bottleneck and advance to the seventh floor of foundation building as soon as possible. After thinking about it, whether it is the supply of various precious resources or the limitation of his own qualifications, it is impossible to rely on the two elixir in hand. met the requirements.

On the contrary, start from the bottom, try to break through little by little, use mana as a hammer, use water to work hard one step at a time, and move forward in a down-to-earth manner is the best strategy.

Whether it is the Enlightenment Grass or the Auspicious Cloud Seven Star Grass, they can provide a helping hand at critical moments, greatly reducing the difficulty of moving mountains and increasing the speed of moving mountains.

Although there is nothing wrong with breaking through in the later stage of foundation establishment, there is always a little drum in his heart. After all, this is the last bottleneck before the golden core is condensed.

In case there is any slight mistake in this process, it will affect the foundation of practice, and it is very likely that the future path of practice will be cut off.

It is precisely because of this that it is worthwhile for him to be cautious no matter what. After all, as a helpless casual cultivator, it is really quite difficult to walk along the way.

What's more, Zhao Shoushou's current cultivation base is already at the peak of the mid-term foundation establishment, and he already has the basic conditions to launch a charge to the next bottleneck.

Now that the first goal of this retreat has been achieved, isn't it the most suitable time to try the second charge?What if it fails this time?At that time, I will consider another path, which can be regarded as an extra opportunity and a path.

"So what if the road to the late stage of Foundation Establishment is difficult? Didn't Mr. Zhao come out of one difficulty after another and enter one after another seemingly insurmountable difficulties?" Zhao Shoushou thought The drive to never admit defeat is the root cause of his ability to keep moving forward.

Qualifications are important, but a firm heart to the Tao is a major factor in persevering. How many geniuses with double spiritual roots who have attracted much attention died halfway when they first entered the cultivation world?

There are many reasons for the premature death. Some are longing for the prosperity of the colorful world, some are trapped in some inexplicable feelings and cannot extricate themselves, and some are unable to bear the pain in cultivation.

If he didn't have a firm mind, how could Zhao Shoushou stand out from the countless hardships he has experienced and become the owner of Hululing Island today?

Therefore, in the face of this mountain-like, seemingly insurmountable bottleneck between the middle foundation establishment period and the late foundation establishment period, Zhao Shoushou was only a little bit unsteady at the beginning.

With the stability of the mind, when the cultivation has reached the real peak of the sixth level of foundation building, you can look at it more calmly, and quickly choose a plan that is more suitable for you.

Now that everything has been determined, Zhao Shoushou will naturally not continue to hesitate. The turbulent and dynamic sea of ​​mana in the dantian can't wait to try to open up new territories.

In order to ensure that the strongest combat power can be erupted at the first time, to try the real power of this bottleneck, it can be said that he has made a real determination.

I saw his hands pinching his fingers, forming complex gestures one by one. At the same time, he was chanting words, located in the middle of his broad forehead, a golden light burst out of his body, circling around his body for a while, and finally after confirming the position of his dantian , Another leap disappeared without a trace.

This ray of golden light is the purest and refined consciousness in Zhao Shoushou's body, and it is also the leader of this breakthrough.

The pure impact of mana is like a gentle current in a wide river. After the divine consciousness joins it, it immediately transforms into a powerful torrent in a narrow river. The amount of water is the same, but the energy it carries is completely different. of.

Taking such measures is actually dangerous to a certain extent. After each impact fails, this ray of elite consciousness will wear out to a certain extent.

This is actually a process of mutual persistence. If one can successfully break through the bottleneck and advance to the seventh floor of Foundation Establishment before the wear and tear of the spiritual consciousness is exhausted, all the consumed spiritual consciousness will be fully replenished in an instant.

On the other hand, if the spiritual consciousness is exhausted and still fails, everything will naturally stop, and it will take a lot of time and elixir to make up for it. In fact, this is the end that most monks need to face. After all, it is really a minority that can succeed at one time. For a small number, this method is a real hard work.

Whenever the spiritual consciousness is about to be exhausted, the monk will choose to withdraw it for recovery. At this time, it is supported by the mana in the dantian to prevent the bottleneck from self-repairing.

Once the attack of consciousness and mana is stopped, it is inevitable to resist some repairs with all one's strength. Only by finally winning this kind of tug-of-war can it be possible to completely break it and realize the promotion of cultivation.

"Hey, if you don't hit the south wall and don't look back, what if you hit your head and bleed? Only by hitting the south wall to pieces can someone Zhao really break out his own path." Zhao Shoushou yelled loudly. When it fell, the mana in the dantian had condensed into a sharp cone shape, turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the meridian, and launched the first wave of attack on the bottleneck.

The bottleneck is like a high mountain, and the strength of different positions is naturally different. Every monk must choose a position to break through according to his actual situation.

The choice of this position is obviously different for each monk, and must be selected through the induction of spiritual consciousness. Some are on the top of a high mountain, some are on the halfway up the mountain, and some are at the bottom of the most solid mountain. Different positions .

Before the first awl really fell, even Zhao Shoushou couldn't confirm the exact location, but he just had a feeling in the dark.

Of course, for a monk, it is naturally a different position, and the difficulty faced is also different, for example: the root of the cliff is naturally the hardest and widest, and the top of the cliff consumes the most every attack, etc. The circumstances are too varied to describe.

Zhao Shoushou just hoped that he would not encounter the most difficult root. After many monks proved, it would take the most time and energy to pierce through here. Smash all the obstacles you encounter.

"Boom" was said sooner or later, but in the blink of an eye, Zhao Shoushou's first attack landed more than ten feet away from the real cliff bottom under the guidance of Mingming.

The moment the awl came into contact with the mountain, it was as if its head had hit a solid boulder, making people dizzy. The only result was a white mark left on the mountain.

If you don't touch it, you don't know, but if you touch it, you will be shocked. The reality is obviously more cruel than imagined, and the difficulty between the middle stage of foundation establishment and the later stage of foundation establishment is far beyond expectations.

With Zhao Shoushou's persevering character, it is obvious that he will not shrink back because of the difficulties in front of him, just like before, it will only arouse the pride in his heart.

Chapter 393 Building the Seventh Floor of the Foundation ([-])

"Drops of water can penetrate stones, let alone mana and monks with infinite energy? A small body can burst out with incredible energy. This mountain will definitely be overwhelmed by the surging mana, and it is not qualified to be someone like Zhao." The obstacle on the way forward is nothing more than a stumbling block with a slightly larger body size, which is nothing to worry about.” This is the real inner activity of the first time after trying.

Then under his mobilization, the mana in the dantian came continuously, or turned into a long cone, or turned into heavy axes, or turned into weapons with sharp blades. Eight types of weapons are available, and the only purpose is to find out the most effective attack method.

It's a pity that all of these seem to be useless efforts, no matter what form the gap caused by is quite weak.

It mainly depends on the size of the attack energy, that is, the strength of the mana contained in each attack, but the results of each battle are quite pitiful.

When the mana in Zhao Shoushou's dantian was consumed by more than half, there was nothing more than a small opening on the rocky mountain, the thickness and length of a finger, and the progress was quite slow and pathetic.

Every attack under the guidance of spiritual consciousness consumes the most mana. Even though the supplement of external spiritual power has never stopped, there is still a feeling that it cannot make ends meet.

Faced with this dilemma, the only choice is to slow down the speed, frequency, and intensity of the attack. At this time, the only thing we want may be to prevent the recovery of the bottleneck.

Time always passes by inadvertently, especially when a monk falls into deep cultivation or breaks through the realm, he will not feel it at all.

However, for the cultivators of Hululing Island, they can be said to admire the island owner who has completely let go of his hands and feet. This is completely a state of absolute trust by the shopkeeper.

You must understand that whether it is the deputy island owner Zhao Baihua or the elder Fu Yuehua, because of various reasons, the two have been wandering in the overseas cultivation world before, and the situation is not very good.

Even after being promoted to the foundation building period, each had their own misfortunes. It was not until they joined Hululingdao that they changed their past embarrassment.

At the beginning, although the two monks each held an important position, they still had a restrained and cautious look when dealing with various affairs.

It wasn't until Zhao Shoushou's decisive approval and approval when preparing for the construction of the Fuzhuan Hall and the Artifact Hall a few years ago that they realized that each of them was not a mascot, especially during the longer and longer retreat time afterwards, the two were even more Directly control the life and death power of the entire Lingdao.

With the continuous investment in the development of Hululing Island over the years, it has become more and more prosperous, and the two monks have also benefited a lot from it.

After the deputy island owner Zhao Baihua collected various healing elixirs, the injuries that had been delayed for many years were basically healed. The combat power of the third floor of the foundation building can be fully displayed in the battle. The current main task is to collect some elixir that can make up for the original source. I hope that in the future Have the opportunity to go further on the road of practice.

With the supply of sufficient spiritual pills, the elder Fu Yuehua, who had hesitated for many years to improve his cultivation, finally broke through the bottleneck a year ago and was promoted to the second floor of Foundation Establishment.

For a monk with a progressive heart, nothing can replace the satisfaction and happiness brought about by improving his cultivation.

In order to keep this special happiness and to continue to improve her cultivation in the future, why doesn't she work hard for the development of Lingdao?

After all, the relationship between Lingdao and the two monks is closely related. Only when Hulu Lingdao develops better and better can they have the opportunity to obtain more resources.

Therefore, for many latecomers, most of them only know the deputy island owner and the elder of Chuangong, and they don't have a deep impression of the legendary mysterious dragon.

Two monks at the early stage of foundation establishment, three cormorants who often wander around on the spirit island, and a flower snake, this power is enough to deter most young people.

Of course, there are still many monks who are still deeply impressed by the island owner Zhao Shoushou who is quite decisive and fierce despite not taking many shots. This monk who built the sixth floor of the foundation is the real Dinghai Shenzhen.
