Practice begins with a fisherman

There is a general consensus in the cultivation world that the Qi refining period is only the initial stage of mana accumulation, and it is also a transition from a mortal to a cultivator. Only those who are promoted to the foundation building stage are qualified to be called cultivators.

"In addition to the spoils of the harvest, a fierce battle has stimulated Zhao's potential, and the fifth level of Qi training is not far away." Zhao Shoushou, who returned to the cave two days later, said with emotion.

It turned out that during the decisive battle with the evil cultivator, he accidentally advanced to the late stage of the fourth level of Qi training. With a little effort, he might be able to advance to the fifth level of Qi training soon. Of course, the premise is that there are enough spirit pills to assist him.

However, there are still three relatively urgent things that need to be dealt with before retreating. One is the production of wine koji, the second is the fusion of the first-level low-grade mist formation and the first-level low-grade fire formation, and the third is the collection of treasures in the storage bag of the evil cultivator leader. inventory.

The two most important treasures, wine worm and wine mold, have already been obtained. The production of distiller's yeast only needs to be done step by step, and it only takes three to five days to complete it smoothly.

The so-called fusion of formations is actually a bit of a slap in the face, but it is a set of formation flags of the first-level low-grade mist formation, one master and three pairs, and finds a suitable gap to insert into it without affecting the power of the fire formation.

As for counting the huge number, variety, and valuable treasures in the evil cultivator's storage bag, it is to calculate how long this retreat can last?How far can he support his cultivation?

"The poor little guy is not someone who is cruel and ruthless. It is your destiny to make distiller's yeast. In the next life, reincarnation and reincarnation make a good choice, broken." As soon as he exerted himself, the wine worms had turned into a piece of blood foam, which was evenly sprinkled on the prepared auxiliary materials under the control of mana.

The first-grade low-grade high-quality Lingmi, more than ten different first-grade low-grade elixir plants, and the reddish-brown wine mold have already been arranged, and the wine insects play a key role in the finishing touch.

Only under the action of the special blood of the wine worm, these treasures that are usually irrelevant to each other will undergo a wonderful change, forming the most primitive first-order wine-tasting song over time.

The production of the distiller's yeast has been completed, and the rest can only be left to time, which can be as long as five months or as short as two months, and Zhao Shoushou can officially start the brewing of spirit wine.

As for the transformation of the cave formation, he only took half a day to complete it, but the process in the middle was tortuous, and the whole body was burned blue and purple by the out-of-control fire formation, which looked very miserable.

Regardless of whether it is a first-tier low-grade mist formation, a raging fire formation, or a higher-rank formation, each set of formation flags has a unique arrangement method. Once a little damage is caused to it, the formation will lose control.

As a novice who has not been in contact with the formation for a long time, after a lot of fuss, it will definitely not be smooth sailing to achieve the goal.

What surprised Zhao Shoushou the most was Xiexiu's storage bag. Although he had a rough estimate of the value of the treasures inside, he was still in a state of extreme shock after counting everything.

There are as many as five bottles of spirit pills suitable for the mid-stage of Qi training. There are more than ten kinds of first-level middle and lower-grade spiritual materials. After the fierce battle with the five elements, there are still more than twenty pieces. A first-grade top-grade lotus pill in a bottle.

This panacea has two functions. One is to help improve the cultivation base of monks in the late stage of Qi training, and the second is to quickly stabilize the realm of monks after breaking through to the seventh level of Qi training.

"If God doesn't take it, he will be blamed. Everything is ready and only owes the east wind. Since resources are abundant, there is no other excuse to delay the impact on the fifth level of Qi training." Everything is ready, and the impact on the fifth level of Qi training has officially begun.

In fact, Zhao Shoushou is absolutely sure of this breakthrough in cultivation. After being promoted to the fourth level of Qi training, he will steadily improve his cultivation step by step. This life-and-death battle with two evil cultivators has successfully stimulated his potential.

The monk's comprehension between life and death is far from being comparable to ordinary times, and the corrosion and softening of the bottleneck by the three first-order middle-grade Wanci Dan that he took before is also continuing.

Of course, the most important thing is that the fourth level of Qi training and the fifth level of Qi training are both in the middle stage of Qi training, and the bottleneck lying in the middle is not too difficult, even for some monks with better spiritual root aptitude, they can pass it at once.

According to the requirements of "Ripple Kung Fu", Zhao Shoushou commanded the mana in his dantian to run round and round in the big circle, greedily refining the elixir, squeezing the limits of the meridians, and not letting go of any spiritual power wandering around the body.

Time passed by bit by bit, but the spiritual power in the dantian was slowly increasing until it covered every corner of the dantian and reached the limit range that could be tolerated by the fourth level of Qi training. realm.

Chapter 75 The Unexpected Invitation

Breaking through the bottleneck so easily was completely beyond his expectations. Even after he was promoted to the fifth level of Qi training, his cultivation still showed no signs of stopping, and he was still moving forward steadily under the influence of the elixir.

Originally, the stable realm needed to be stabilized after each breakthrough in cultivation base did not seem to exist this time. Everything went smoothly as if in a dream. This situation lasted for three days and nights before it stopped. His cultivation base has reached the fifth level of Qi training mid term.

"Zhao got shit luck? Or is it some god who secretly helped? Or is it a lucky moment?" In short, he still couldn't believe the rapid improvement of his cultivation base.

It's like a country road that was originally thorny, full of potholes, and difficult to move forward, suddenly turned into a flat, straight and smooth road to the sky.

But this is a good thing after all. After all, cultivation is the foundation for monks. Such a carefree improvement is enough to save several months of time.

The occurrence of all things has a fixed cause and effect relationship. If you calculate carefully, this improvement in cultivation is also the result of his efforts to consolidate the foundation for several years.

A familiar sound of "buzzing buzzing" broke his thoughts and dragged him back to the thoughts floating in the distance. He turned his head and looked, only to find that a group of new spirit bees had matured in the first-order low-grade purple jade green bee hive in the corner of the cave, joining the hardworking worker bees. team.

"It's a group of hardworking and cute little guys. The time to harvest the spirit peak honey next time won't be too long. It's a pity that Cormorant Island is too remote after all, and the number of first-order low-grade spirit flowers is really too rare." Even though he was unwilling For the current environment, he has no ability to change it in a short time.

It turned out that when Zhao Shoushou was harvesting honey from the low-grade Lingfeng last time, Zhao Shoushou discovered that the quality of the honey barely reached the level of the low-grade first-grade.

Later, I went to Fangshi several times to buy some jade slips, and only then did I learn that the quality of Lingfeng honey is closely related to the quality of pollen.

For example, if the purple jade green bees are both of the first-tier low-grade, if all they pick are the pollen of the first-tier low-grade elixir, the nectar produced will naturally be the best among the first-tier low-grade, on the contrary, it is similar to the current cave. first class.

The normal first-order low-grade spirit honey should be in a low-grade spirit stone for one or two. The first time the spirit honey is produced, the price he sells is only half a piece of low-grade spirit stone, which is twice the difference. Rare reason.

As for the long-awaited royal jelly, it is even in the foreseeable future. According to the current situation, the royal jelly produced by the first-rank low-grade queen bee is barely maintained due to the consumption of a large number of eggs.

In the final analysis, all of this is caused by insufficient background. If you belong to some famous schools or families with a long history of practice, only the spirit flowers in the various elixir gardens can already satisfy the plucking of spirit bees.

"Poor little guys, in a short time, you can only rely on yourself to be self-reliant and self-reliant. Once Zhao's cultivation level improves, he will definitely create a comfortable environment for you in the future," muttered in a low voice, turning his eyes to the first-order low-grade spiritual veins.

The root of everything is naturally the strength of spiritual power, and the strength of spiritual power depends on the spiritual veins. Since the establishment of the cave was successful, except for a short period of one or two months, Zhao Shoushou strictly invested five low-grade spirit stones every month for rhyme. Nurturing, although the spirit vein has not been much stronger now, but the foundation has stabilized, and there will be some bad changes in the later period.

"Cultivate casually, practice casually, wander around looking for opportunities, but after all, you still need a place to stay. Zhao was born here, grew up here, cultivated here, and took root here. Cormorant Island can be regarded as a blessed place for someone in the future." He has been quite confused on the road of practice.

As a casual cultivator, I know that the spiritual power and resources in the jurisdiction of Cormorant Island are poor, and I will definitely continue to travel in all directions in the future. Maybe the time to return here is not too long. What is the value of investing so many resources in cultivating spiritual veins? not worth it?

Breaking through the fifth level of Qi training today, looking at the busy Ziyu Green Bee, Zhao Shoushou felt quite a bit of understanding rise in his heart. Whether it is a casual cultivator or a sect or family monk, most of the time he spends his time in the vast The world works hard.

However, every monk needs to have a stable rear, whether it is used for retreat, healing, rest, etc., no matter from which aspect it is indispensable.

In other words, Dongfu is a small haven in the busy cultivation life, a place to stay temporarily or for a short period of time. To sum up, it is valuable to invest in spiritual stones and energy to cultivate spiritual veins.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, casual cultivators should be monks who have nothing and wander around. This is obviously a contempt for the casual cultivator group. Although their lair does not have too much spiritual power, this place always exists.

"There are still a lot of treasures left from killing evil cultivators, which are enough to sustain a period of extravagant cultivation, but how to move forward in the next step needs to be carefully calculated." People have no long-term concerns, but there are near-term worries, this sentence It is also popular for monks, so he now urgently needs to plan a major resource acquisition plan for the next period of time.

Lingjiu, Lingtian, and Lingfeng honey are all a stable source of income, but it is difficult to meet his needs in a short period of time. No matter from which aspect, he has no reason to continue to be lazy.

"Zhao Daoyou has been promoted to the fourth level of Qi training for a long time, and his strength is only one step away from the fifth level of Qi training. Liu found it by accident on a page of an ancient book, and found a cave where a monk in the late stage of Qi refining was suspected to exist. Liu's strength is helpless. I am humble, I have never traveled alone, today I invite you to explore together, and half of the treasures will be distributed equally to each person. If you are interested, please meet me at Foguang Mountain in three days." A communication talisman successfully passed through the barrier of the formation and appeared in front of him.

The familiar voice in the communication talisman was Liu Lou who had captured the Purple Jade Green Bee together at the beginning. As the only monks in the small group of casual cultivators who had magic weapons to protect themselves, the two had a certain foundation of trust and had worked together. Beheading some spirit beasts, this communication talisman was left at that time.

However, since the small group of ten people had existed in name only after the Purple Jade Green Bee incident, Zhao Shoushou was a little confused about the sudden invitation.

He never believed that there was an inseparable friendship between the two. For casual cultivators, coming and going in every small group was a very normal thing, and no one would feel sad about it.

"This invitation came a bit abruptly, but a cave for monks in the late stage of Qi training is worth exploring, and I don't hesitate to take some risks." Without too much entanglement, Zhao Shoushou quickly made a decision.

No matter what kind of plans Liu Lou has, all his confidence comes from his own combat power, with a five-level Qi training, and three first-level middle and low-grade magical artifacts for body protection, he has the confidence to deal with all kinds of dangers and calculations.

If everything goes well, everything will be fine. Even if he encounters some danger, he still has the confidence to escape. How easy is it to use him as a shield?

Chapter 76

All the above worries are not because he is suspicious or self-obsessed. In the cultivation world, there are many people who fight for a low-grade spiritual herb or a low-grade spiritual stone, and turn each other into enemies, especially among casual cultivators.

Every time some friendly monks meet to explore treasures together, only a small number of them can be distributed according to the agreement after success. Facing the temptation of heavy treasures, most monks can only share adversity, not wealth.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Shoushou is so cautious when facing an invitation, but he doesn't know that although the prediction is true, the real danger is far from it.

At this moment, in an unnamed valley hundreds of miles away from him, there were shrill howls that made one's scalp tingle, as if he was enduring great pain.

"Forgive me, my ancestor, please forgive me, my ancestor. It's not that I'm lazy and not working hard. It's really weak, and it's hard to hunt down powerful monks. Please learn from my ancestor." Liu Lou knelt on the ground trembling with disheveled hair.

"Although my ancestor has been trapped in this place for hundreds of years, his strength has declined, but it is only a snap of his fingers to take your life. If you continue to use these things to fool the ancestor, what's the use of keeping you? Next time, you will directly act as blood." Just eat." An old voice hovered in the cave.

"Don't worry, Patriarch, I've already invited a monk in the mid-stage of Qi training to come to explore the treasure, and I'll just ask Patriarch to capture him when the time comes." In order to save his life, Liu Lou released his trump card.

"It is barely usable in the middle stage of Qi training. After it is done, I will help you advance to the later stage of Qi training within three years."

"Thank you ancestor, thank you ancestor, Liu Lou is willing to serve the ancestor, and he will do whatever he wants." Hearing this, Liu Lou knelt on the ground and bowed loudly, then slowly exited the cave.

In a small space with a radius of only three feet in the depths of Liu Lou's worship cave, a black-clothed monk whose shoulder blades, thigh bones, and abdominal dantian were all penetrated by special chains and could not see clearly was trapped here. the instigator.

"If it wasn't for the ancestor being trapped here, how could it be necessary to seduce a waste in the mid-stage of Qi training. The day when the ancestor reappears in the world is the time for revenge, giggling." A hateful laughter made people feel numb , but all of this disappeared in an instant and returned to silence, as if it had never appeared before.

After a hundred years of being trapped by the magic chain with a special method, he still hasn't fallen. It needs the blood of a monk to fight and recover. This is undoubtedly the method of a demon cultivator.

Demonic cultivators are a more terrifying existence than ghost cultivators. They use various terrifying means to kill monks, and improve their cultivation by refining resentment into magic power. Every successful demonic cultivator represents rolling bones .

Hundreds of years ago, Moxiu was very popular, and even a powerful Moxiu sect of the famous "Mo Linmen" once ruled the entire comprehension world for a short time. They took pleasure in torturing and killing monks. Almost all monks lived tremblingly. As a result, the sect declined.

In the later stage, under the leadership of a late Nascent Soul monk who appeared out of thin air, he gathered all the power of the comprehension world, and did not hesitate to destroy Mo Linmen at all costs.

Since then, the demon cultivator has become a taboo in the cultivation world. Once all monks appear, they must be strangled with all their strength. There will be no trace of the demon cultivator for nearly a hundred years. Who would have thought that an old devil would appear here?

If Zhao Shoushou could know the situation here in advance, he would definitely be wronged. This is the real person who is in trouble at home. It is a pity that he does not have the ability to predict and is already approaching the trap step by step.

"No matter what kind of plan Liu Lou has, Zhao can just break it with all his strength and get back a piece of treasure that belongs to him." Zhao Shoushou had already appeared on the top of Foguang Mountain in the early morning of the third day.

It is said that Fo Guang Shan used to be the ashram of an eminent monk. After his life was approaching his sitting, the essence of his body was condensed into a relic, which shines day and night under Fo Guang Shan. Ordinary people can heal their wounds here, and monks can gain enlightenment when they come here. The time that has lasted for more than a hundred years suddenly disappeared.

It is said that some monks who had been favored by the relics spontaneously formed a small team to search for it, but unfortunately everything seemed to be natural, without leaving any traces.

From then on, only the legend of the relics remained in Fo Guang Shan, and the once glorious temples gradually fell into disrepair. Up to now, there are only three or five young novice monks who stick to it.

"Zhao Daoyou is indeed a believer. Old Liu counts. Except for the right to choose, all the treasures are distributed equally. Does Zhao Daoyou have any other questions?" Liu Lou said very boldly, as if he was very excited about his arrival.

"Thanks to fellow daoist's trust and invitation, how can Mr. Zhao live up to his kind intentions? Mr. Zhao is ready to leave at any time without any doubts." He responded equally simply, but he accidentally touched a first-order middle-grade breath-restraining talisman stuck behind him.

Treasures are important, but lives are even more important. Since Zhao Shoushou had some doubts, how could he be unprepared?

The only effect of the first-order middle-grade breath-restraining talisman is to hide one's own cultivation base, which can lower one's cultivation base by one level on the basis of itself, and a single talisman seal can last for ten days.

If everything goes well, it means everything will be fine. If Liu Lou really has some plans, this level of suppression and hidden cultivation is just the ultimate move for the Jedi to fight back.

"Fellow Taoist, please take a look. This is the location of the Dongfu that Lao Liu discovered in the late stage of gas refining. It is about a thousand miles away from Foguang Mountain." It was completely different from the usual cautiousness. Liu Lou generously shared the secret location of the Dongfu.

"Thousands of miles away from Foguang Mountain, it is not far from Jinlin Secret Realm. There have been monks who belong to the Beast Guard Gate stationed here for a long time. If there is really a monk's cave, how can it survive? Will the movement of us breaking the formation cause the garrison monks to panic?" Pay attention?" Zhao Shoushou raised the doubts in his heart.

"Zhao Daoyou is really well-read and knowledgeable, but the cave is still a hundred miles away from the Jinlin Secret Realm. The remoteness of this place will definitely not attract the attention of the garrison monks," Liu Lou assured, patted his chest.

Yushoumen is one of the top ten sects in the cultivation world, and it is best at envoys of spirit beasts. Every disciple of this sect has spirit beasts to protect them, and their fighting power is very strong.

As for the Jinlin Secret Realm, it is also one of the five great secret realms under the Yushoumen. Using the natural advantages of the secret realm, a large number of rare elixir can be cultivated in it. For example, the main millennium stone pillar ginseng of Zhuji Dan is one of them.

Two days later, Zhao Shoushou and Liu Lou arrived at their destination, and all they saw were desolate rocky mountains without any trace of life. The sun was shining at noon, and they could still feel the bone-eating coolness hitting their bodies.

"This is where the monks' caves in the late stage of Qi refining are located? How could you choose such a gloomy place?" Zhao Shoushou said very puzzled, knowing that cold and heat resistance is only the most basic ability of monks.

Chapter 77

If a monk in the middle stage of qi training can feel the overwhelming yin qi at noon when the sun is high, one can imagine how strong the yin qi is in this place.

A cultivator from the Beast Sect will definitely understand that this is a forbidden place where the elders in the sect have ordered thousands of times not to come. This is also the reason why the demon cultivator chooses casual cultivation.

"The yin energy here is indeed far beyond the normal level. Perhaps it is precisely because of the strong yin energy here that this senior did the opposite and chose this place to build a cave." Lest he doubt and shrink back, Liu Lou stood next to him. It is hard to explain.

"Choose a place full of yin power as the cave, is this senior unwilling to switch to the way of ghosts and ghosts?" The doubts in his heart not only did not decrease but increased.

In fact, it is also limited by one's own knowledge. It is not Yin Qi that lingers here, but the resentment and magic power unintentionally exuded by the demon cultivators imprisoned in the cave.

"This senior's plan has nothing to do with us. What you and I are asking for is just a treasure in the cave. Even if you have successfully transferred to cultivation, you and I will join hands and refuse. Is it possible that Fellow Daoist Zhao wants to leave?" said the last sentence At that time, Liu Lou had a gloomy expression on his face.

"Wealth and wealth are in danger, how can you be timid if you want to seize treasures? Whether it is a mountain of swords or a sea of ​​​​wolves or a lair of wolves, Zhao is willing to give it a go." As if thinking of something, Zhao Shoushou looked upright and fearless.

"It's good to seek wealth and danger, Liu Lou leads the way ahead, and fellow Taoists are behind." A consensus was reached that Liu Lou stepped forward decisively.

When Zhao Shoushou and Liu Lou approached the unknown cave carefully and with full vigilance, Moxiu who was trapped here seemed to smell the smell of blood, and opened his eyes with a flash of light.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a delicious taste, the foundation is solid, the body is strong, there are no other shortcomings except that the spiritual root is a little weaker, it just arouses the love of talent in the old devil's heart, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity" After a long sigh, the old devil's ten fingers popped out again and again , One after another magic power shot out and arranged a net of heaven and earth.

As long as Zhao Shoushou and Zhao Shoushou entered the range of the magic power, the old devil would have the confidence to control it remotely. It was the same method that used the same method to control and refine Liu Lou into a puppet that could be killed at any time.

In fact, after a hundred years of torture, Lao Mo's current remaining cultivation is not considered strong, as long as he is careful, it is not too difficult to deal with it.

"Daoist Zhao, please take a look. This is the magic circle used to protect the cave. Every time you attack, there will be bursts of lightning rebounding, but it is not too strong. As long as you are careful, it will be fine. It can be broken within an hour when you attack with all your strength." Liu Lou He introduced it easily, and seemed to be very familiar with everything here.

The ghosts are most afraid of and most restrained than the power of thunder and lightning. How can a monk who wants to switch to the way of ghosts and immortals set up a lightning protection formation in the cave?Isn't all this contradictory?

But the matter has come to this point and there is no room for retreat, just raise the vigilance to the highest level, and at the same time make up my mind to choose to quit immediately if there is any disagreement.

Combining all the doubts above, Liu Lou's suspicion suddenly increased a lot. It was a correct choice to buy a first-order middle-grade breath-holding talisman at a high price. time to control the situation.

It's just that he still doesn't know what a terrifying existence he is about to face. It can be said that this is the most powerful crisis he has faced since he embarked on the path of cultivation.

"Zhao Daoyou, one left and one right target the core of the thunder formation, you and I attack with all our strength." After Liu Lou finished speaking, he sacrificed a first-order middle-grade flying sword-shaped magic weapon, and took the lead in launching a fierce attack on the cave's protective formation.

"Kacha" As expected, just like Liu Lou once introduced, the flying sword attack left a fist-sized indentation on the formation, and the counterattack force of the formation was equally swift and violent, and a finger-thick silver-white thunder light fell directly. On Liu Lou's chest.

Fortunately, everything is under control, the counterattack of the power of thunder and lightning is not too strong, although it causes a scorched black, the actual damage is not too strong.

Although there are still some doubts in my heart, how can Zhao Shoushou be timid since the battle has officially started?The first-tier middle-grade dragon ring broadsword came out, followed by the flying sword and slashed towards the thunder formation, leaving no enough recovery time for it.

As for the thunder and lightning's counterattack, since he had seen it with his own eyes, and the damage caused was all within the acceptable range, Zhao Shoushou did not rashly sacrifice the first-tier low-grade defensive magic weapon, the fine iron shield.

This treasure was seriously damaged in the battle with two evil cultivators. Afterwards, he found a skilled craftsman in Xiaokanshanfang City to repair it. It looked a little dilapidated but it didn't affect its use in battle.

"Hey, this power of thunder and lightning is like scratching an itch. Let's see how Zhao breaks the formation." After personally feeling the power of thunder and lightning's counterattack, Zhao Shoushou was completely relieved and let out a loud shout. The two monks had a tacit understanding. At the same time, strengthen the attack power against the array.

After about a stick of incense, Zhao Shoushou and Liu Lou had turned into pitch-black and burnt roasted people, and the counterattack that changed quantity into quality should not be underestimated.

Of course, with the efforts of two middle-stage Qi training monks, the protective formation blocking the entrance of the cave is also in danger, and it only takes one or two efforts to break it.

"Zhao Daoyou, the formation is about to be broken, how about you and I working together?" Liu Lou seemed to be encouraged to shout, but did not wait for his response, and had already started to exert force.
