Practice begins with a fisherman

Even if every big Zhoutian only adds a negligible point, I still continue to persist, just to improve my cultivation to the real peak state, and ensure that I can attack the mid-term of Jindan at any time.

Compared with Jindan, Xudan is the existence that really makes people scratch their heads. There is no other way except to devote most of their energy here to increase the natural power of rotation.

"Don't be a woodcutter by mistake, it will take at least ten years to polish it in the early stage." Although he was practicing, Zhao Shoushou was still murmuring.

Time flies, day and night alternate, the sun and the moon fly like a shuttle, and the time of several years is just a flash. Although Zhao Shoushou has never left the customs, there are still people who are paying attention to his progress and situation.

Among them, the remaining two Jindan early-stage monks who belonged to the dungeon in the center of the earth are the main ones, especially the direct disciple of the Yuanying ancestor, whose eyes are red with jealousy.

Before Zhao Shoushou joined the dungeon, although his cultivation base was not the highest, it was only limited by the number of years. Who would want to beat a strange wandering cultivator who suddenly appeared, and he would be promoted to the middle stage of Jindan so quickly, far behind him? behind.

The strength and aptitude of this ancestor's direct disciple are good, but under the protection of Yuanying ancestor, it is a typical success and failure of Xiao He, because the journey along the way is too smooth, but in terms of xinxing There is a little difference.

It was just because a monk of the same rank surpassed himself that his mood was shaken. Of course, these have nothing to do with Zhao Shoushou, and he will not pay too much attention to them.

When the tenth year of his retreat came to an end, the cultivator in the cave with his eyes closed repeatedly confirmed that there was indeed no room for improvement in his cultivation, and finally began to manipulate the mana of the turbulent waves in his dantian. It rushed towards the bottleneck that imprisoned the growth of Jindan.

At this time, it is as if there is a natural gate lock around the golden core. Whenever the inner mana of the golden core starts to impact, they will exert force at 360 degrees without dead ends, almost reducing the effect of the attack by more than half. When successfully reaching the intended target location, the impact on the bottleneck can be described as scratching the surface.

Zhao Shoushou, who was in contact with this situation for the first time, was a little stunned and had a hard time adapting. No matter how strong the bottleneck faced by the monk before, he would not intercept and kill him halfway. above the bottleneck.

Moreover, there is no chance to recycle the mana consumed in the middle of the journey, and it is all dissipated between the heaven and the earth through the meridians of the body, which is very distressing.

"The recovery of the mana in the Jindan is less than one-tenth of the consumption. If it goes on like this, it will not last long. It is better to fight quickly. It is the most correct choice to participate in the Nine Holes Spirit Pill as soon as possible." After making a correct judgment, Zhao Shoushou Swallow the panacea decisively.

The spirit pill melts at the entrance, and it is divided into two before entering the abdomen. One of the smaller strands enters the upper dantian and merges into the void pill, and the other strand, which is larger, almost contains more than two-thirds of the spirit pill. The essence of it is a brain that is integrated into the golden core, and forms a layer of golden light mask with corrosive power on the periphery.

This layer of light mask is equivalent to encircling and cutting around the invisible bottleneck. Whenever a monk hits the bottleneck and is attacked by the power of the bottleneck halfway, this layer of light mask will counterattack to make the attack more efficient. There is a noticeable improvement.

In addition, the strength of each attack on the bottleneck is also more sufficient. Compared with the two, its effect is naturally beyond doubt.

Chapter 620 Attention from Yuanying Patriarch

With the effect of Shenjing Nine Holes Spirit Pill, Zhao Shoushou's cultivation speed has increased significantly. Although the bottleneck is invisible, monks can clearly perceive the increasing degree of wear and tear, and the distance from the fourth floor of Jindan is also getting closer. getting closer.

And with the improvement of the cultivation level, the demand for spiritual power also increased significantly. The pure white and atomized spiritual power accumulated in the cave for many years gradually became thinner under the gluttonous mouthfuls. Looks like I can't make ends meet.

As the pillar of the entire dungeon, it is originally located at the core of the dungeon, and has a certain authority to mobilize and attract the surrounding spiritual power. Gradually, there is a little bit of spiritual power around the tenth floor, just like a moth to a flame. Generally speaking, it is still difficult to suppress nature knowing that one will perish.

If it is such a small-scale and inconspicuous mobilization of spiritual power in other places, it will naturally not attract the attention of others. It is a pity that all the people living here are above the golden core stage, and they are naturally quite sensitive to changes in spiritual power. of.

There was a slight change in the pavilion on the tenth floor, and some monks who were closer had already had a clear perception, but after confirming the source of the change, they all relaxed and got busy on their own.

For these monks who have joined the underground city for a long time, their interests are closely related to the entire dungeon, and they are naturally happy to see the improvement of the dungeon's strength.

Therefore, except for a few people with ulterior motives, most monks even provide certain assistance within their own authority, such as mobilizing a part of spiritual power for supply and so on.

This even includes Qian Bigen in the late Jindan period. As the deputy city lord in charge of daily affairs in the dungeon in the center of the earth, his authority is obviously greater.

Under his command, a large amount of spiritual power was soon supplied to the cave where Zhao Shoushou was located along the fixed pipeline.

At the critical moment of hitting the checkpoint, a sufficient supply of spiritual power is obviously very important. Zhao Shoushou, who is at the critical moment of promotion, seems to have received a strong help. The bottleneck on the cracked edge is impacted.

Now Zhao Shoushou is at the time when the efficiency and energy of the first drum are the highest. Of course, even with the assistance of Shenjing Nine Holes Spirit Pill, after each failed attack, the The power of backlash will also cause certain damage to monks.

With his current strength, he might not take it seriously once or twice, but so far, he has hit the bottleneck more than a hundred times.

Zhao Shoushou's body was full of chapped wounds the size of thumbs. After each failure, these wounds that had barely begun to heal themselves would be torn open once, and the bright red blood soaked his white clothes. , looks like a blood man from a distance.

In addition to the damage on the surface, in the process of hitting the bottleneck and improving the cultivation level every time, the meridians in the body should undoubtedly be under the greatest pressure.

From the early stage of Golden Core to the middle stage of Golden Core, even with the blessing of the power of the elixir, it is not an easy task, and some tiny cracks have appeared on some of the relatively fragile meridians.

Blue bulges have also appeared on the main meridian, and no substantial damage has been caused so far, and it has also reached the limit of endurance.

Just at this time, after repeated shocks and training, Zhao Shoushou could clearly perceive that the originally solid bottleneck was also at the juncture of shattering, and now the competition was not only mana, but endurance was also one of the indispensable factors.

"Mr. Zhao doesn't have the opportunity and background to start all over again. If he misses this time to participate in the Nine Holes Spirit Pill, he will need to accumulate at least 50 years of background knowledge to be promoted to the mid-stage Golden Elixir. It's all worth it," Zhao Shoushou murmured for a while, and the original meaning of hesitation had long since been forgotten.

Of course, I have a certain understanding of my current physical condition, and I secretly made up my mind to try my best to succeed as soon as possible.

"Crack" I don't know how long it took, when the corners of Zhao Shoushou's mouth, nostrils, and ears were respectively soaked with blood under the force of backlash, there was a small sound like an egg breaking its shell. The small voice finally came.

The golden elixir that was originally imprisoned in the dantian continued to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye like a blown balloon, while the virtual elixir in the upper dantian shrunk by one-third sharply, not too bloated.

So far, he has been successfully promoted to the mid-stage Golden Core. Of course, he still dare not be slack or careless now, and the most important thing is to stabilize the realm of cultivation.

If one accidentally causes the cultivation base to drop, it is the real extreme joy that brings sorrow, so it is too late to have any joy, Zhao Shoushou has already devoted himself wholeheartedly to another matter.

"Smoothly promoted to the middle stage of Golden Core, and the late stage of Golden Core can be expected in the future, and it is worth cultivating for me." The top floor of the pillars of the dungeon in the center of the earth is also the place with the most abundant spiritual power. Nod in satisfaction.

This person who looks nothing special on the surface, just like an ordinary old man in the mortal world, is the Dinghaishenzhen of the dungeon in the center of the earth, shocking the Yuanying old Zubei who has a radius of thousands of miles for more than a thousand years.

His life can also be regarded as a legend. He was born in the mortal world, and he stumbled all the way on the road of practice. He didn't start to make a fortune until the Golden Core Stage, and he passed all the way and successfully became the Nascent Soul.

Although the sub-continent is full of dangers, it does not have much influence on these ancestors of the Nascent Soul Stage. On the contrary, it is because the land is sparsely populated and the resources are abundant, so it has a special taste.

Their travel experience is also quite abundant. During their long practice careers, whether it is the mainland cultivation world, overseas cultivation world, or the most mysterious Central Plains cultivation world, they have left behind their figures and legends.

The reason why they finally chose to build a large-scale dungeon in the sub-continent is to leave their own inheritance on the one hand, and to search for more opportunities to move forward to the middle and late stages of Nascent Soul and even the transformation stage.

Of course, Zhao Shoushou, who was in retreat, was naturally not clear about it, and he would never have thought that it was just a chance to be promoted to the middle stage of Jindan, which would attract the attention of Yuanying Patriarch.

Jindan and Yuanying seem to be only one step away, and the distance between the two realms is indeed thousands of miles away. Thousands of late Jindan monks may not necessarily have a Yuanying ancestor.

If it is said that from building a foundation to a golden elixir is one in a hundred, as long as there are some special natural materials and earthly treasures to assist, it can still increase the success rate to a certain extent.

Then from Jindan to Yuanying, the monks can only rely on their own potential. Even if there are a few heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can provide a certain amount of help, the number is quite rare. See.

This is also the fundamental reason why the number of Yuanying ancestors is rare in any cultivation world.

Chapter 621 Teachings from the Yuanying Patriarch

Although Zhao Shoushou's successful promotion to the middle stage of the golden core has attracted a small area of ​​attention in the dungeon in the center of the earth, and even attracted the attention of the Yuanying ancestor, it will not last long after all.

Although the status has improved slightly after being promoted to the middle stage of the Golden Core Stage, it is still only an intermediate stage of the Golden Core Stage, and it is destined not to attract long-term attention.

On this subcontinent where everyone is in danger, perhaps only when the achievement of Nascent Soul causes large-scale changes in the celestial phenomena, it is worthy of the long-term attention of all monks and everyone's joy.

After all, every time a Nascent Soul cultivator is added, the influence and strength of the human side on this subcontinent can be regarded as a small improvement.

Of course, this realm is not what Zhao Shoushou can hope for in a short period of time, and naturally he will not pay too much attention to it, but it is better to focus on the stability of the realm of cultivation.

From the third floor to the fourth floor of the golden core, the monk's strength has improved significantly, the size of the golden core has increased significantly, and the virtual core has shrunk significantly. All aspects need a process of stabilization and adaptation.

Therefore, compared with the previous small improvements in the early stage of Jindan, there is no doubt that it obviously needs to consume more time and energy.

At this time, Zhao Shoushou is fully running the Great Zhoutian to refine the surging spiritual power around him. Although the size of the golden core has increased significantly, the overall shape is like a thin-skinned water polo that may overturn and burst at any time. It's just superficial, and you can even easily perceive the emptiness in it.

Just like a very hungry man with a big belly, greedily waiting for the food to come, the best food for Jin Dan is naturally only the mana after refining.

Whenever a big cycle is over and a wave of spiritual power is poured into the golden core, there will be an inexplicable feeling of solidity all over the body, and this feeling is very intoxicating and inextricable.

Only when the golden core is re-stabilized with the support of sufficient mana and can guarantee its normal operation, is the time to leave the level.

However, the Xudan in the upper dantian, because it is constantly shrinking and increasing its own quality during the promotion process, with the assistance of Shenjing Jiukong Lingdan, there is not much fluctuation.

It was also because of the stability of the Xudan that Zhao Shoushou was able to put all his energy on the stability of the Jindan, and the newly promoted cultivation base did not cause too much fluctuation.

Of course, in addition to the improvement of cultivation during this period of time, the recovery of the backlash damage caused during the impact is also an important task.

Even with the assistance and protection of Shenjing Jiukong Lingdan, he was successfully promoted to the middle stage of Jindan, but he failed hundreds of times, and the pressure on the body and meridians was naturally indispensable.

Among them, the injuries to the physical body may seem terrifying, but when the promotion is successful, most of them have been healed when the spiritual power is poured into the body. On the contrary, some inconspicuous but not to be underestimated injuries in the meridians need to be treated as soon as possible.

Whether it is a minor cultivator in the Qi refining stage who has stepped into the road of cultivation, or a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator who has grown up to the present, the meridians are equally important.

If there is any hidden danger in the meridians in the body, it will be a disaster for the monks. Even if they suffer some damage due to accidents, they must be repaired and recovered as soon as possible to avoid permanent damage.

Time passed by little by little, and this busy and tense life continued until three years later, which is the No. 16 year of his retreat.

"Successfully promoted to the middle stage of Jindan, one step closer to the cultivation world in the Central Plains," Zhao Shoushou murmured, and an inexplicable light flashed when he opened his eyes.

In addition to that, it is the gradual self-confidence. In the cultivation career of a monk, one's own strength is always the most important, and the most powerful manifestation of strength is naturally the realm of cultivation.

With the improvement of cultivation base, the contact area is naturally wider and wider, and the opportunities that may be encountered also show an increasing trend.

As for the cultivation world in the Central Plains that Zhao Shoushou has always been obsessed with, it is only after he has been promoted to the late Jindan stage that it is possible to win a seat above the teleportation formation.

"After leaving the customs, you can use this talisman to go to the top of the pillar and meet the ancestor Bei Yisheng." This was the first communication talisman Zhao Shoushou received after he left the customs.

"The call of the ancestor Yuanying? Is it to reward someone Zhao?" This is the real joy for him, even if he thinks he is well-informed, it still causes some waves in his state of mind and cultivation.

Zhao Shoushou has practiced for nearly [-] years since he embarked on the road of cultivation, but the chances to directly contact the Yuanying Patriarch are very few, and this is the only time to meet him alone.

Therefore, his excitement is also understandable. In addition to preparing for some doubts that always exist in practice, there is also a sense of holiness.

According to his practice plan, once he is promoted to the middle stage of Golden Core, he should break away from the dungeon in the center of the earth as soon as possible, and become a wandering cultivator again, wandering on the subcontinent, looking for more opportunities, and raising his cultivation level to Jindan late stage.

However, the unexpected summon this time successfully destroyed his plan. Since he received the teaching and reward from the Yuanying ancestor, he naturally couldn't leave easily.

As a monk who has always claimed to be smart, Zhao Shoushou obviously would not do such a thankless thing. Of course, he would be reluctant to give up the teachings of the Yuanying ancestor.

"You can only take one step at a time. The ancestor of Yuanying taught someone Zhao that you must never give up. Maybe this is the only chance before you can achieve Yuanying." With a murmur, his figure quickly climbed to the top of the pillar. go.

Regardless of whether he will become a traveling cultivator again or continue to stay in the dungeon in the center of the earth, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to ask the ancestor Yuan Ying for advice is absolutely impossible to give up.

A casual cultivator stumbled all the way to today's promotion to the middle stage of Jindan, and the difficulties and obstacles he faced were simply unimaginable.

And some of them Dongxu couldn't solve even with all his efforts and painstaking efforts. For example, some questions that have been lingering in his throat for no answer, isn't it the time to solve them today?

Perhaps as long as Yuanying Patriarch gave some simple instructions in a few words, some questions that had troubled him for a long time could be clearly resolved. The stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade, and the gains cannot be easily described.

"Zhao Shoushou paid homage to the ancestor, and was ordered to report to the ancestor today." A quarter of an hour later, on the top floor of the underground city pillar in the center of the earth, in front of a small artificial lake, Zhao Shoushou bowed respectfully to the opposite cave, with a full face. It was a look of respect, and he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

The length of the artificial lake is about 200 meters, and the width is less than [-] meters. From the surface, it looks calm and calm, but he can clearly perceive the danger in it. There must be some powerful beasts here.

Chapter 622

According to Zhao Shoushou, when communicating with the Golden Core cultivator who also belonged to the underground city in the center of the earth, he had inadvertently obtained some news that the ancestor Bei Yisheng was once a genuine cultivator who was good at controlling spirit beasts.

From the time he embarked on the road of cultivation to the later stage of Jindan, all kinds of spirit beasts surrounded him, and this spirit lake was where he used to house water attribute spirit beasts after he was promoted to Nascent Soul.

On the surface of the dungeon in the center of the earth, there are six Jindan monks stationed including him. In fact, there are no less than five third-order spirit beasts of different types stationed in some unknown places.

The most common among all the monks is the water-attribute spirit beast that is entrenched in the lake. Bei Yisheng's ancestor used to guard the cave. I am very envious, so I must not act rashly before I get the approval of my ancestors.

These third-order spirit beasts are naturally loyal and trustworthy partners for Patriarch Bei, and they are quite docile existences. On the contrary, it is a completely different picture for other monks, especially those whose strength is not as strong as them.

At this moment, at the bottom of the bottomless lake, some greedy eyes are lingering on him, but any act of arrogance may suffer a fatal blow.

For these spirit beasts entrenched here, what they are looking forward to is nothing more than a gluttonous feast of monks' blood feast. This is not simply alarmist talk, but a real fact that bloody bloody things once existed.

It is said that a hundred years ago, a cultivator at the early stage of Jindan was ordered to visit, and because of his rash actions, he suffered a devastating blow from a spirit beast and almost fell on the spot.

After this incident, no one dared to explore Patriarch Bei's cave easily without permission. Now that Zhao Shoushou knew about it, he was more cautious than ever before.

"Hehehe, I never thought that the old man is just a hundred years of retreat. My earth core dungeon has another talented person to join me. Congratulations. Xiao Yuer hastened to carry Zhao Xiaoyou across the lake." After about a cup of tea , a hearty voice appeared beside my ears.

"Never dare to be praised by the ancestor, it is my honor to be able to join the dungeon." Zhao Shoushou expressed his humility. refer to.

These old monsters in the Nascent Soul stage have practiced for more than a thousand years, and all kinds of eccentricities emerge in endlessly. If one accidentally provokes them to be unhappy, not to mention the opportunity to teach alone, I am afraid that their lives will be threatened to a certain extent. Such joy begets sorrow. It's really not worth the candle.

According to his past practice experience, when facing an old monster with profound cultivation and no temper, he would always be respectful and humble, and he would never make any mistakes.

"Wow!" During the simple conversation between the two, a strange fish with a body length of more than ten feet and a width of about one foot, covered with hard scales floated to the surface of the water.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for your kindness in crossing the river." No matter whether the strange fish understood or not, Zhao Shoushou still made a salute, the purpose of which was just to show his demeanor in front of Old Ancestor Bei.

"Zhao Shoushou pays homage to the ancestor, and congratulates the ancestor Wan'an, he will be promoted to the Dao of Incarnation as soon as possible, and ascend to the spirit world." Entering the cave, he immediately saluted to the ancestor Bei.

"We monks are going against the sky, so we don't need to pay too much attention to the etiquette of the mundane world. If we are bound by these dross, how can we understand the true meaning of cultivation?" Although he was very satisfied with his attitude, Old Ancestor Bei Still can't help reminding on the side.

"Thank you for the teaching of the ancestors, the juniors will always remember it in their hearts"

"In the battle for thousands of colorful magic array resources, I performed outstandingly. The ranking of the dungeon has been raised by two places. I have obtained a third-level middle-grade spirit mine. I have made great contributions. The old man has always kept his word. Feel free to bring it up," Old Ancestor Bei said very peacefully.

"May I ask the ancestor if there is any way to increase the solidification progress of the virtual core?" This is a problem that almost plagues all golden core monks but is difficult to solve.

"What is a virtual pill? What is a golden pill? Do you know?" Patriarch Bei didn't rush to answer his doubts, but asked three questions in succession.

"Please enlighten me from the ancestors"

"From the establishment of the foundation to the golden elixir, the mana changed from liquefied to solid, and all the essence was transformed into a golden elixir in the dantian. The separation of consciousness took the opportunity to open the upper dantian to condense into a virtual elixir. Both are indispensable to form a true Golden Core cultivator."

"The enhancement of golden elixir is simple and straightforward. You only need to inject the refined mana into it to strengthen its essence. Void elixir is just a simple concept for most monks. This is also a question for you. ?” Old Ancestor Bei asked after explaining.

"The old ancestor is wise, in the past cultivation time of the younger generation, most of them were restrained by the illusory core, which caused the cultivation base to be unable to move forward." Zhao Shoushou naturally couldn't help affirming and approving.

"In the final analysis, the essence of Xudan is nothing more than spiritual consciousness. The spiritual consciousness comes from the state of mind. The evolution of Xudan can naturally be accelerated if the state of mind is improved. If you want to improve the cultivation level of the state of mind, you need to practice in the world and experience the various states of the world." This is Bei The most common way proposed by the ancestors.

"May I ask the ancestor, besides practicing in the world, is there a more efficient way? Or some spiritual pills to help?" Zhao Shoushou asked rather unwillingly.
