Practice begins with a fisherman

It was precisely because of the abundant spiritual power here that Zhao Shoushou had taken the risk to choose to practice in seclusion here. If his whereabouts were leaked during the process, let alone the condensed golden core, it was unknown whether he could save his life.

The final grade of Jindan mainly depends on the qualifications of the monks and the accumulation in the early stage of cultivation, which can be called the product of the fusion of two aspects.

For Zhao Shoushou, it was a fluke for the four spiritual roots to be able to condense the golden core in terms of aptitude alone, and there was no need to think about the rank at all.

However, he was better than accumulating step by step in the early stage. The funnel that should have existed for a short time did not begin to change from firm to illusory until the formation of the fourth stripe, but it still did not disappear. It was firmly transmitting a special energy structure. Fifth stripe road.

"The fifth-level mid-level, fifth-level golden elixir has the hope of being broken into a baby. Come on, come on." When the fourth pattern was formed, Zhao Shoushou was basically satisfied.

For him, he is not afraid of difficulties in the process of cultivation, but he is afraid that there is no hope of progress, but any glimmer of hope is worth paying a hundredfold effort for.

Even if this hope is quite slim, it is not hesitating. After all, in the cultivation world, it is one in a thousand or even one in a thousand who can achieve a Nascent Soul.

Nascent Soul is a special realm. In addition to the requirements for aptitude, chance and courage occupy more importance. For all Jindan stage monks, it will always be an existence that can be met but not sought after.

When the fifth line on the golden elixir formed and the two funnels disappeared at the same time, in addition to an inexplicable sense of weakness, there was also a shaking on the round golden elixir, and even the formed elixir unexpectedly appeared A faint crack.

"The golden elixir that has just formed is very weak and cannot withstand any torture from wind and waves. It takes a long enough time for the monks to rest before they can initially stabilize." In the stability of the realm.

We all know that every breakthrough in cultivation, no matter whether it is a big realm or a small realm, takes some time to stabilize the cultivation.

The same is true after condensing the golden core, but as a monk, it takes a longer time to completely stabilize the new golden core state.

In fact, the process of stabilizing one's cultivation is nothing more than adding a little bit of mana to make the foundation more stable. The main method is to use the spiritual power near the Great Zhou Tian to refine.

As for how long it will take to stabilize the final cultivation level, it varies from person to person, mainly depending on the aptitude of the monk. Judging from Zhao Shoushou's previous breakthrough process, this is obviously not a task that can be completed in a short period of time .

When Zhao Shoushou began to focus all his energy on the stability of the realm, the celestial phenomena outside the cave had gradually disappeared, but this simple cave attracted more and more attention.

Some monks in the Foundation Establishment Period even started to strengthen their patrols in the vicinity under the orders of the elders of the sect, so as to prevent some monks from disturbing the cultivation of this newly promoted Jindan fellow.

"A monk who was born as a casual cultivator can successfully condense the golden core in such a place where spiritual power is barren. Doesn't this make us more ashamed of supporting the sect?"

"Senior brother, why should you be self-effacing? You are just a low-grade golden elixir with no potential for development. If it weren't for the fact that senior brother wanted to seek a higher-ranked golden elixir in the future, he would have already been a member of the ancestors of the golden elixir."

"It's not easy for a casual cultivator to be able to achieve Jindan. After all, he will also be a member of the ancestor of Jindan in the future. Those who we need to respect must not be underestimated."

As the discussion of the two monks gradually disappeared, their figures also disappeared into the distance, and soon a large number of talismans appeared nearby, the contents of which were nothing more than various solicitations and promises.

All this has no effect on Zhao Shoushou, who is in the middle of cultivation. On the contrary, with the passage of time, the sense of existence of a Jindanqi ancestor who has never left the customs has been declining, at least from the surface. , There are fewer and fewer monks paying attention here.

In the blink of an eye, ten years passed again, and the monk in the cave finally opened his eyes, and with a flash of golden light, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"After 40 years, Mr. Zhao has finally achieved the golden elixir. Although there is no magic weapon yet, a powerful innate treasure is also good." After Zhao Shoushou felt the unprecedented power he possessed, Said very satisfied.

One of the important reasons why it took up to ten years to stabilize the cultivation level in the end was the upgrade of the growth-type spirit art Frozen Thousand Miles.

Although they are called growth-type spiritual arts, they only represent potential. If you want to grow smoothly, you need to leave the monk's own efforts.

After condensing the golden core, it is necessary to provide sufficient mana to the original spirit seed to promote its upgrading and transformation, and the gap between the spirit technique and the treasure technique is not small.

At this time, all the goals at the beginning of the retreat have been achieved, and it is time to leave the retreat. After 40 years, with the flick of a finger, I finally embarked on the road of Jindan.

With the sound of boulders rubbing against each other, a dazzling ray of light refracted in through the river, directly dazzling his eyes, and then he saw his figure appearing on the rushing river.

"One day in the cave, there have been thousands of years in the world, and 40 years have not left any traces here, but it is half the life of a mortal." This is his heartfelt sigh.

However, Zhao Shoushou did not leave. Instead, he was content to fight in the air above the river, carefully reading the contents of each talisman in his hand, as if he was waiting for something.

Since it is closed here and the celestial phenomenon is aroused when the cultivation base breaks through, how can it disappear completely after leaving the closed door?

Chapter 495 The Discussion of the Golden Core Cultivator

Although it seemed peaceful here, Zhao Shoushou firmly believed that there must be some Jindan stage monks who had been paying attention to the cave where the retreat was located, especially after the disappearance of the celestial phenomenon, but this kind of attention turned from bright to dark.

Now that you have already left the customs, it is obviously not a good choice to leave hastily. Besides, wouldn't it be better to use this place as a way to formally enter the circle of Jindan stage monks?

The moment he officially left the customs, he must have been discovered by some serious Golden Core monks, and the waiting time here must not be too long.

"Hahaha, congratulations fellow Taoist for being promoted to Jindan Dao, Liu Yangzi of the Tidal Sect is very polite." Within a short time, a monk dressed in Taoist robes had already arrived with a flying sword on his feet, looking quite chic.

In the Qi refining period and foundation building period, there are two conditions for flying in the sky. First, you need a specially made flying weapon or spiritual weapon, which is rare and expensive.

Second, this kind of flying consumes a lot of mana. Even a monk in the foundation period can only take a short journey.

Only after the golden core is truly condensed, can the automatic operation of mana meet the needs of flying. Of course, the premise of all this is the need to have a genuine magic weapon.

Possessing a magic weapon with the same attributes is obviously not an easy task for a casual cultivator who was born in the golden core period, and Zhao Shoushou may have to fight for it in the next few decades.

There are only two sources of magic weapons in the cultivation world, one is the inheritance of the predecessors, which mostly appears in families and sects; the other is refining everything from scratch, which is the choice of most monks .

Every magic weapon is extremely precious, even some powerful and famous sects cannot guarantee that the golden core stage monks will have one.

These worrying thoughts just flashed in his mind, and soon his target had shifted to the Jindan stage monk who was warmly greeting and was about to make contact for the first time.

"Fellow daoist, please be polite. Shoushou is just a new monk. Why is it worth making such a fuss about fellow daoist? You should go and see him now." It has almost become an instinct to talk about people and talk to the devil.

"Although fellow daoists come from casual cultivators, they are extremely talented. It is very rare to come along the way. In the future, I will need to communicate more with you." This elder of the Chaotian sect seemed quite enthusiastic.

Although Zhao Shoushou was a little uncomfortable with this situation, he could handle it freely. However, this kind of scene obviously wouldn't last for a long time, because a fiery red cloud had already drifted over not far away.

"Old man Liu, do you want to deceive the new Taoist friends again because of the shabby settlement of the Chaotian Sect? The world is about the survival of the fittest, so why continue to maintain it? Zhao Kun of the Liuhuo Sect has met a fellow Taoist." This fire-attribute Jindanqi The monk's temper is also hot.

"A new monk, Zhao Shoushou has met fellow Taoists of the Liuhuo Sect." Whether it is the Tidal Sect or the Liuhuo Sect, they are all sects with a stable golden core inheritance. As a new monk, he can't provoke him at will.

"Zhao Kun, my Tidal Sect is poor, how much better can your Liuhuo Sect be? If you feel uneasy, you can just see the real chapter, why bother to shame the sect here?" Just from the perspective of the Tidal Sect, it is obvious. is superior.

"Why are the two fellow daoists arguing with each other here? Fellow daoist Zhao is out of the customs today, and I have another Jindanqi comrade in the overseas cultivation world. I should congratulate you. It just so happens that there is a seminar today. Would you like to attend the fellow daoist Zhao?" The third The monk Fang already had the upper hand as soon as he came out, obviously he came from a stronger sect.

This spiritual island, which was the core of the sea beast tide, has almost become the common territory of all sects due to the emergence of various mineral veins.

Of course, this scope is only limited to the monks who have the inheritance of the golden core. Some small sects will always enter this closed circle in accordance with the law. This is the real benefit sharing.

"Shoushou is naturally willing." He is naturally willing to participate in the Dao Discussion Conference. As a newly promoted Jindan monk, he is blindsided by this brand-new realm, and he can only get it from some jade slips. Just some poor information that came.

It can be said that the Daoism Conference is an excellent way for him to make up for his shortcomings. Some simple cultivation results shared by each monk are some rare experiences and lessons, and there is really no reason to refuse.

What's more, after the Dao Discussion Conference is over, the trade fair must follow. Zhao Shoushou is also very interested in some treasures suitable for the Golden Core Stage.

In the realm of comprehension, the two realms of cultivation that seem to be close at hand are actually far apart in status. Unless a monk in the foundation stage has some special encounters or the care of a senior in the golden core stage, the two monks in different realms Just like two parallel worlds that are completely separated, it is destined that there will not be too much intersection.

Like Zhao Shoushou, a monk who was born as a casual cultivator, even though he has worked hard all his life, in the past 200 years of practice, he still has not been lucky enough to see a third-order treasure suitable for the golden core stage.

Since he was invited to go out today, he would naturally not refuse, and it can be regarded as a compensation for his own shortcomings. In addition, he could also take the opportunity to confirm a piece of spiritual material that is suspected to be a low-grade third-level spirit material obtained from the sea beast tide.

A quarter of an hour later, a place with a gray and old appearance, and even some obvious cracks in some hidden places, who would have thought that as the supreme ruler on Lingdao, the dignified Jindan stage monks would discuss Taoism in such a dilapidated and inconspicuous place? Where is it held?

This place is really just an inconspicuous earthen house. After entering it, except for more than a dozen monks sitting cross-legged and closing their eyes, there is no special place. The so-called inner universe obviously does not exist.

"Congratulations, fellow daoist, for successfully condensing the golden core. We are waiting for another fellow of the same path. I don't know what sect and sect you are from? Where did you practice? Why did you appear on the spiritual island for retreat?" Sitting cross-legged in the center The monk said it very familiarly with a smile on his face, but he was ready to find out the details in a few words.

"Zhao Shoushou has met fellow Taoists. Before, he was just a casual cultivator with no background and no sect. He just captured a second-level mid-grade gourd spirit island through the battle for the spirit island. Because of hunting the tide of beasts, he came here Retreat here to cultivate." For some news that did not involve personal secrets, Zhao Shoushou explained it neatly.

Of course, this is also to integrate into this special group more quickly. After all, a Jindan Patriarch with a clean fortune must be welcomed by all parties.

Sure enough, after some chatting, all the ancestors of Jindanqi who were present, except for a few of them, had already focused on the upcoming seminar.

The monk in the center is also the host of this discussion meeting. He comes from Jiuyangmen, one of the top ten sects in the overseas cultivation world. There are two Yuanying stage ancestors in the sect. They are powerful and cannot be underestimated. The leading sect responsible for the security of Lingdao.

Chapter 496 The Deal of the Golden Core Cultivator

This Golden Core cultivator is a genuine late Golden Core cultivator, but it is just some of the most common practice experiences, which gave him a feeling of enlightenment, as if a curtain in front of his eyes was gently pushed open, and the cultivation in front of him was revealed. Lu obviously has a lot of help, as the saying goes, it is a high-rise building.

Since it is discussing the Dao, other Jindan monks will naturally explain one or two, or the application of treasures, or the consumption of panacea, or some inconspicuous precautions in the process of cultivation, or some refining tools and alchemy. Among the tips, in short, everyone will say some dry things, Zhao Shoushou can be said to have really benefited a lot.

A Dao discussion meeting made him feel that his trip was worthwhile. As for his Dao discussion, the monks present understood quite well and did not have too many demands.

After all, it is not easy for a Golden Core monk who was born as a casual cultivator to reach this step. Without the guidance of the elders, he will be in a groping stage for a long time in the future.

The reason why he was invited here was, on the one hand, to have an understanding of all aspects of the character of the newly promoted monks, and on the other hand, there was a hint of wooing in it.

Perhaps for a famous sect like Jiuyangmen, a low-grade Golden Core cultivator without much development potential does not have much worth investing in. Only the cultivator knows the rank of the Golden Core , others are just guesses based on experience.

However, for some sects that only have one Golden Core cultivator in charge, a Golden Core cultivator from a casual cultivator is really worth wooing. It is enough to suppress a sect for 400 years, and it should not be underestimated.

Of course, for most of the monks, their focus is on the upcoming trade fair, especially some monks who have received the news in advance to compete for a treasure and can't wait.

"The discussion is over, and it's time for the trade fair. As the host, I have carefully prepared several treasures. Please learn from fellow Taoists." Zheng Yidan, a late Jindan monk from Jiuyangmen, introduced in a loud voice.

The reason why this seminar was able to gather so many monks was that in addition to the powerful strength of his Jiuyangmen elders and Jindan late-stage monks, his identity as a third-level top-rank alchemist also played a very important role. .

An alchemist is the most popular monk in the cultivation world, let alone a third-order panacea that can skillfully refine the panacea needed by the golden alchemy monks.

It can be said that they are the richest group of monks in the cultivation world, and any treasure in the storage bag is of great value.

Since Zheng Yidan came forward to organize the seminar and the auction, naturally he would not let it go hastily, and there would definitely be some treasures of good quality.

With the improvement of monks' cultivation, various needs are constantly increasing. On the contrary, the various treasures that can meet their needs are showing a rapid decrease. The contradiction between the two leads to the fact that most Golden Core monks' cultivation Ascension is quite difficult.

The improvement of each small level is at least three to fifty years. If there are some bottlenecks in the middle, it is common to exist for a hundred years. According to the longevity of the Jindan stage monks, it is not enough to complete the entire stage of cultivation.

Most of the cultivators' cultivation will last their entire lives, and I'm afraid they can only be limited to the early stage of Jindan, which also shows the attractiveness of this third-level top-grade alchemist.

"The quality of Zheng Daoyou's treasure is naturally beyond doubt, and I can't wait for it."

"This time I came here specifically for the panacea provided by fellow daoists. You should start quickly, don't be a fool here."

Obviously, the relationship between these monks is quite familiar, even if the level of cultivation is slightly lower, there is no grievance when joking around. This special environment is obviously very important to monks, and he is also happy. blend in.

"Since this is the case, it is natural that the trade fair has officially started. The first treasure is a bottle of ten low-grade third-grade Yaoyang pills, and the starting price is six high-grade spirit stones." Zheng Yidan really lived up to expectations, and the treasures he offered were all A valuable panacea suitable for Golden Core stage monks.

Yaoyang Pill has two functions, first, to assist monks in their cultivation, which is also one of its most basic functions; second, to expel the toxins in the monk's body, purify the meridians and the body.

In fact, for some new Jindan stage monks, the second function is the most important point. From foundation establishment to Jindan monks, there will definitely be a lot of hidden wounds and toxins in the body, which is very important for the recovery of the monks. of.

Among the dozen or so Jindan monks at the scene, he was the only one who was a newcomer. The appearance of this bottle of panacea was obviously prepared in advance.

As for the six high-grade spirit stones, it is just the most basic friendship price, and it can also be regarded as a way to win over and make friends. Looking at the monks around with a slight smile of kindness, he fumbled out of the storage bag and took out the Jin Six A shiny spirit stone, this deal was reached.

These high-grade spirit stones were also obtained from the previous tide of sea beasts, most of them were used for the arrangement of the spirit gathering array, and some of the remaining ones are suitable for this place.

With the help of this bottle of Yaoyang Pill, Zhao Shoushou can quickly adapt to the realm and combat power of the Jindan stage, and its helping effect cannot be underestimated.

"The second treasure is the third-grade low-grade nine spirit pill. This is Lao Zheng's unique magic pill. All fellow Taoists know its effect. The starting price is six high-grade spirit stones." When he said this, Zheng Yidan's face appeared A smug smile.

"Jiu Ling Pill is the most effective panacea among the third-tier low-grade pills. It has always been digested internally by Jiuyangmen. Today I am lucky to wait, how can I miss it? Eight high-grade spirit stones"

"If there is Nine Spirit Pills to help, how can I be trapped on the second floor of Jindan for decades without moving a bit? Ten high-grade spirit stones"

There were not many Jindan stage monks present, but the price of the elixir rose sharply. This kind of elixir with unique effects is very popular.

After a stick of incense, this bottle of elixir finally came to an end at the price of 12 yuan high-grade spirit stones. Zheng Yidan prepared a total of six kinds of elixir, three of the third-level upper, middle and lower-grade, which made the monks present feel that the trip was worthwhile .

The treasures provided by other monks are also different. Most of them have been accumulated over the years and are relatively unpopular. A small part of the reputation is more versatile, such as the magic charms sealed with treasures. The monk's puppet and so on.

Among them, the most enviable thing he bears the brunt of is the most common flying sword-shaped magic weapon. Unfortunately, the magic weapon is almost the only existence that is more popular than the panacea. , is still sought after by many Jindan stage monks.

In the end, Zheng Yidan of Jiuyangmen bought it at the price of 30 yuan high-grade spirit stone, which made the other Jindan stage monks present feel a pity.

Chapter 497 The Shocked Gourd Spirit Island

In short, Zhao Shoushou gained a lot from this seminar, which lifted a layer of fog in front of his eyes, and gave him a good start in his cultivation in the Golden Core stage.

Apart from some insights, the biggest gain is a bottle of low-grade Yaoyang Pill of the third rank, which is equivalent to a gift for the newly promoted Jindan stage monks.

Benefits and risks go hand in hand, and there are advantages and disadvantages. By the time the second phase of the Daoism Fair is over, Zhao Shoushou has already fallen into the siege of several Jindan stage monks.

The common characteristics of these Golden Core monks are all from some less powerful sects, most of them only have one or two Golden Core monks in charge, and they urgently need external forces to join in to enhance the strength of the sect.

This is also the difference between a sect and a family. They can make a lot of promises by all means for the good development of the future, which is far better than a family based on blood.

Among them, Liu Yangzi from the Tidal Sect and Zhao Kun from the Liuhuo Sect were the first to rush to the scene before many monks.

In fact, after all the inquiries in the previous Dao Discussion Conference, I already have a certain understanding of these two sects. Although each generation has a Jindan monk sitting in charge, their strength is limited to this.

At present, the share on this spirit island is also quite limited. Every year, about 300 yuan worth of high-grade spirit stones can be allocated to various spirit mines.

A reincarnation needs to sit here every ten years, and the two Golden Core cultivators can be described as old rivals, and various competitions are common.

At present, there are no new Golden Core monks in the sect, and none of the Golden Core seeds that have been cultivated with all their strength have made a breakthrough. In order to prevent the future decline of the sect, they are trying their best to recruit Golden Core monks to join them.

This does not mean that any Golden Core cultivator is qualified. They also need to be responsible for the reproduction and inheritance of the sect. A Golden Core cultivator like Zhao Shoushou, who was born as a casual cultivator without much concern and has a gentle temperament, is not the best s Choice?

"If fellow daoists are willing to join, the tide sect is willing to treat each other with the position of elder guest, and the treatment is the same as that of the old man. All the martial arts inheritance of the sect can be opened to fellow daoists. How about ensuring that there is no hidden thing? In addition, the tide sect has practiced for generations All the exercises are based on the water attribute, which is similar to fellow daoists." Liu Yangzi's sincerity is quite sufficient.

Generally speaking, the Keqing elders of each sect only enjoy some superficial treatment, and all the inheritance classics (especially the core classics) will not be open to them at all.

However, a casual cultivator of Jindan would rather give up his free and unfettered life and join a sect, the main goal of which is the inheritance of the sect.

The needs of the two aspects are almost completely opposite, and there is no room for reconciliation at all. It is precisely because of the existence of this typical contradiction that the number of Ke Qing elders is so rare.

He was quite moved and satisfied with the sincerity of the tide faction towards Zhao Shoushou, and the most crucial point was Liu Yangzi's last sentence.
