Practice begins with a fisherman

No matter how cautious he is now, it is quite normal for him not to be too cautious. In the first three years after entering Peilingmen, he has always played the role of a diligent and hard-working man who has been constrained by the limitations of his qualifications and has never been able to break through. Bottleneck promotion to the bottom monk role of foundation building.

During this period of time, at most, Zhao Shoushou felt a Golden Core cultivator pass by in the sky, and no Foundation Establishment stage cultivator even came to pay attention to Hongmen Mountain.

More than [-]% of the monks who entered Peilingmen at the same time as Zhao Shoushou had already perished. The situation of Peilingmen seems to be getting worse and worse over the years.

Even on the Peiling Mountain where the Zongmen is stationed, there are only a few monks who have been wounded in the frontline battles and are in the healing period. There are some empty windows. It is not uncommon for monks to sit in town.

Hostile forces appeared near Peiling Mountain one after another. If it weren't for the strong formation protecting the mountain here, it might have fallen into the hands of some interested people. The lack of high-ranking monks was the opportunity Zhao Shoushou had been waiting for for a long time.

As for whether the disappearance of his disciple from the outer sect would attract the attention of the monks of the Peiling sect, it was completely unfounded to worry about. Considering his withdrawn personality these years, even after he disappeared completely, no one would pay attention to it.

Naturally, Zhao Shoushou will not waste the past time in vain. He has been carefully preparing. Except for some coping tasks, he mainly puts his energy on the promotion of cultivation base, and refines Peilingmen wholeheartedly and steadfastly. Relatively abundant spiritual energy.

One step at a time, he walked steadily forward, consolidating his own cultivation, until one day five years later, when he noticed the departure of the last Jindan mid-stage monk, Zhao Shoushou's figure resolutely walked towards the inner sect.

The Hongmen Mountain where the outer disciples are located only has a second-order middle-grade spiritual vein to supply spiritual power, which is obviously far from meeting the needs of monks to advance to Nascent Soul.

Only by sneaking into the depths of Peiling Gate and getting close to the location of the spirit veins can it be possible to meet the needs. This is why Zhao Shoushou has been waiting here. After a series of obstacles, he quietly entered the depths of Peilingmen.

"Everything is ready, we only owe Dongfeng, the time for someone Zhao to be promoted to Nascent Soul has come" Zhao Shoushou murmured, his face was full of hope, and only then did he really feel that he was so close to Nascent Soul.

Chapter 728 The retreat above the vortex of spiritual veins

From the outer gate of Peilingmen to the inner gate, there is a thin layer of vigilance formations, and only those who wear some tokens approved by the formations can enter it openly, which is also the identity token of the inner disciples. One of the functions.

Zhao Shoushou has been hiding all these years since he entered Peilingmen, without any special performance. Naturally, he has no chance to enter the inner gate, and the identity token of the inner gate is naturally given by Hugh.

However, there are also some differences in this formation. For the monks of the golden core stage, they can be exempted to a certain extent. For the monks of the ninth level of the golden core, it is naturally easier to deal with.

"Senior brother, I don't know if this battle can be won. If it fails, the sect's territory may be further compressed, and the monthly monthly tribute may be further reduced, and my cultivation base is nowhere in sight."

"This time, Master Uncle and his elders gathered almost all the strength of the sect to stop the invading enemies in Hongyan County and teach them a lesson they will never forget. They will definitely win."

"Huh? There was a black shadow entering the sect just now, did the brother notice it?"

"The seniors of the sect have already gone to the front line to fight. There is no problem in winning, but the younger brother is just too nervous and hallucinating."

During the discussion between the two monks who were in charge of guarding the formation between the inner and outer gates, a seemingly invisible figure passed through the two smoothly, and did not attract the backlash of the formation and the attention of the monks.

From the dialogue between the two monks in the early and middle stages of Foundation Establishment, it can be seen that the two have obviously different views on this battle concerning the fate of Peilingmen.

One of the monks in the middle stage of foundation establishment obviously stayed longer and had a deeper understanding of the sect's hidden strength.

These news are a good thing for Zhao Shoushou. Obviously, this large-scale battle will not end in a short time. He can rest assured to cultivate here and wait for the opportunity to break through.

One month later, without alarming anyone, Zhao Shoushou quietly opened up an underground space in a place closest to the spiritual vein, and covered it with a high-level formation.

"It is indeed a sect that has been passed down for more than ten thousand years. It is worth the money to venture here with just a fourth-order high-grade spiritual vein." In the small space, Zhao Shoushou's eyes shot out a burst of light.

With a burst of spiritual awareness, he had already gained something very quickly. On the spiritual veins not far away, three spiritual power beads the size of wooden wood became his first spoils of war.

The conditions for the formation of the pearl of spiritual power are very harsh, and it can only be formed after years of accumulation near some high-grade spiritual veins whose spiritual power cannot be exhausted for a long time.

A small spiritual power bead, the spiritual power contained in it can basically satisfy a late Jindan cultivator to refine for half a year, which is at least equivalent to five years of hard work in closed doors.

With the support of the three spiritual power beads and the sufficient spiritual power supply here, Zhao Shoushou is sure that within 15 years, his cultivation base will be raised to the peak of the ninth level of Jindan, and only then can he truly feel the promotion The threshold before Yuanying.

"If the Nascent Soul can be successfully condensed here, the favor owed by this cause and effect will be irreparable. It may be possible to repay it after careful consideration in the future." Zhao Shoushou murmured, shocking the Nascent Soul The determination has not been affected in any way.

After calming down his mood, Zhao Shoushou just sat cross-legged in the small cave and started a new round of closed-door practice. This attack on the Nascent Soul was truly indestructible, and he had no choice.

As for the time of retreat, at least three to fifty years, at most more than a hundred years is too normal for a late Jindan cultivator who aims to attack the Nascent Soul.

As mentioned above, before really preparing to attack the Nascent Soul, the first premise is to promote one's own cultivation to the peak of the ninth level of the Golden Core. Even with the help of the Spirit Orb, it is still a long-term process of water grinding and requires enough training. Patience and dedication are very important.

With the rotation of the Great Zhoutian, the dense spiritual power around him almost soaked his body, and his other hands were held together, and there was a transparent pearl of spiritual power on it that was continuously refined. Under such dual effects, the dantian The golden core inside is devouring enough mana to strengthen itself all the time.

Perhaps it is because of the high quality of the spirit veins of Peiling Mountain, after about a quarter of an hour of continuous refining, there will be a special mysterious breath entering the illusory core in the upper dantian, which has been shrunk to the extreme. , it seems to be a little more solid.

In short, Zhao Shoushou's retreat here can be said to be a typical killing of two birds with one stone. The double progress of Jindan and Xudan is the most important. It is most suitable for impacting the state of Nascent Soul.

It is precisely this point that is the most difficult for a monk to grasp. This time, he also stumbled into it by mistake. Stupid people have stupid blessings, and entered this mysterious state.

Once caught in a deep level of cultivation, monks can hardly notice the passage of time, and the same is true for Zhao Shoushou.

The stars change, the day and night change, and the years go by. In the blink of an eye, 20 years have passed. During this period, no monk has noticed the disappearance of an outer disciple. Perhaps only the one stationed at Hongmen Mountain In the early stage of foundation establishment, the elders would sigh a thing or two.

Pei Lingmen won the battle with a slight advantage in the last battle 20 years ago, and finally won a certain respite.

In these years, with the efforts of the ancestors in the early Yuanying period, the situation was barely maintained. With the end of the large-scale battle, the requirements for the outer disciples also increased a little bit or returned to normal levels.

Thanks to their unique inheritance of cultivating elixir, a large amount of practice resources have been exchanged, and the strength of the sect is also increasing little by little.

In fact, for a sect with special skills like Peilingmen, as long as there is a stable environment, they can exchange for a steady stream of various resources.

Their attachment to the outside world is not particularly strong. The real foundation is still the sect residence of Peilingmen for generations and the abundant spiritual power here. After years of cultivation, the mature elixir garden, as long as there are these treasures , their inheritance is continuous.

Whether it is in the cultivation world of the Central Plains, the overseas cultivation world, or even the mainland cultivation world that first embarked on the road of cultivation, all kinds of elixir are always beyond their means, and Pei Lingmen naturally has sufficient advantages in this regard.

Just when the entire Peiling Sect was devoting themselves to rebuilding and restoring the sect with a positive attitude, no one had ever discovered that a monk had already opened a quiet room at the hidden location near the spiritual veins. The room is specially used for retreat and practice, and it continuously distributes the already tense spiritual power here every day.

Chapter 729 Broken Pill Becomes a Baby ([-])

There are about a thousand monks in Peilingmen, of which the inner disciples account for [-]%, and the outer disciples account for about [-]%. Special means of taking care of and cultivating various precious elixir.

The place where the outer disciples live is still in Hongmen Mountain, and a second-level middle-grade spiritual vein is used to supply their spiritual power alone. The remaining inner disciples are mainly distributed at the foot of Peiling Mountain.

From the foot of Peiling Mountain to the top are the elixir gardens opened up by the disciples of successive dynasties. According to the different elixir planted in it, each elixir garden is guarded by different formations.

Every high-grade elixir garden will specially open a channel from the spiritual veins to provide sufficient spiritual power supply, which is also the most precious inheritance of Peilingmen.

However, with the passage of time, the daily spiritual power flowing through the spiritual power channel has become more and more scarce, and the elixir that should have matured has been delayed, and as time goes by, this delay has been increasing. As the time passed, it became more and more obvious.

At the beginning, it was a small number of elixir, and later it increased to dozens or even more than a hundred, which began to affect the reputation of the entire Peilingmen.

After all, the elixir produced here is one of the most important sources for many alchemists, especially for high-level elixir.

"Why hasn't Zijun flower matured yet? I take care of it strictly according to the inheritance of the sect, and I don't dare to be lazy every day, please learn from me, brother." In front of a small elixir garden, a middle-stage foundation-building monk panicked explained.

"Junior brother is well known for his hard work. It is not an exception that purple Junhua has not matured. Over the past few years, at least hundreds of elixir gardens have been delayed. It must be that something has changed somewhere that we don't know. Report, so as not to cause adverse effects." This late foundation-building monk from the Discipline Hall was quite decisive.

This kind of thing has gone far beyond the tolerance and disposal authority of these monks, and it is fatal to Peilingmen, whose main method of inheritance is to cultivate elixir.

It is necessary to figure out the difference in the first time and take timely measures to make up for it, otherwise it will be a big blow to the current development of Peilingmen.

Two days later, the five remaining Jindan stage monks, headed by the head of Peilingmen's Jindan Late stage, floated in the sky overlooking the entire Lingshan, hoping to find the difference.

It's a pity that all this is doomed to be futile. Under the cover of the formation, near the deep spiritual veins, as long as they have not really started to attack the Nascent Soul, everything is in a state of silence.

If you want to figure out the mystery, you can only ask the Yuanying Patriarch of Peilingmen to help, but now is obviously not the right time.

Maybe it's already in a bottleneck period, or maybe it's some other reasons. In short, after the inspection of the ancestors of Jindan, the maturity of the elixir in the major elixir gardens has not been delayed. After a little adaptation, the people of Peilingmen Everything is back to normal.

The stars move, the sun and the moon change, ten years, 20 years, 30 years have passed in a flash, and even the outer disciples belonging to Peilingmen have been replaced, but the monks who are in deep retreat have not noticed anything , The closed eyes seem to be exactly the same as before the retreat, even the appearance has not changed in the slightest.

At this time, Zhao Shoushou had already refined the three spiritual power beads, and with the sufficient supply of the fourth-order middle-grade spiritual veins, he had successfully touched the threshold of the Nascent Soul.

With the improvement of cultivation base, Jindan and Xudan have begun to blend and merge to a certain extent, and one can faintly feel a hidden location above Xudan, a tightly closed door, here is the passageway. The only passage to the Nascent Soul, after the complete fusion of the Golden Core and the Void Core, is opened to become a real Nascent Soul cultivator.

There are generally two steps for a monk to be promoted to the Nascent Soul. First, the fusion between the virtual core and the golden core, to achieve the perfect fusion of mana and spiritual knowledge, and to complete the most dangerous moment when the broken core becomes an infant.

Second, under the supply of sufficient spiritual power, the newly formed Nascent Soul is used to break the gate of the void, so that monks can smoothly get rid of the shackles of the physical body, so as to truly realize the perfect vision of traveling between heaven and earth.

From the qi refining period to the golden core period, the monks have been cultivating the mana in the dantian, the only difference may be that they are concentrating on improving its quality and quantity.

Only after being promoted to the Nascent Soul can it be regarded as truly free from the shackles of the physical body. In the event of annihilation, the monk can completely rely on the Nascent Soul to survive and have the opportunity to seize the body.

As for the longevity, it is naturally a substantial improvement. The previous series of descriptions in the various jade slips about the longevity of the Yuanying period were about 1000 or [-] years old. As the realm approached, he realized that everything is A big fallacy.

As a substantive promotion, the sublimation of the life stage, once the promotion is successful, you can enjoy at least 800 years of lifespan. If you add some protection from heaven, material and earth treasures, 2000 years is not an insurmountable threshold.

The monks have overcome countless difficulties and obstacles along the way, and what they ultimately pursue is the increase in cultivation strength and longevity. This is also the most primitive motivation of every monk.

At this time, since after working hard, he finally touched the threshold of the Nascent Soul, naturally he would not hesitate, and made an immediate impact.

All opportunities are fleeting, and once missed, it will take at least several times of effort before it can come again.

As an experienced monk, Zhao Shoushou naturally would not give up this opportunity in vain. The moment he noticed the Void Gate flashing, he decisively swallowed the Huadan Juying Water into his belly for refining.

Compared with other elixir for a certain stage, Huadan Gathering Baby Water can last the entire refining process, and its effect is full of all stages of promoting Nascent Soul, which is also its most precious place.

In the vast and boundless world of comprehension, there are countless types of panacea that can assist the promotion of Nascent Soul, and most of them only play a certain role in a certain stage.

The effect of the Transforming Pill Juying Water is unquestionable. The treasure has already been split into two parts, most of it surged into the golden core, and a small part quickly merged into the virtual core.

The two pills, one real and one virtual, have already begun to merge, but the speed is relatively slow. Under the action of Huadanjuyingshui, this process is speeding up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

For the monks, the solid alchemy represents the mana, and the virtual alchemy represents the spiritual consciousness. In the golden alchemy stage, they practiced separately in completely different forms. one step.

When the two are fully integrated, they are eligible to proceed to the next step, which is also the most dangerous stage, that is, breaking the pill into a baby. In this process, there are only two choices for a monk to win if he succeeds, and to perish if he loses.

Chapter 730 Broken Pill Becomes a Baby ([-])

Whether it is the real pill that carries mana or the virtual pill that carries spiritual consciousness, the fusion between the two requires a large amount of spiritual power as a means of neutralization.

With the fusion of the two pills, a large amount of spiritual power around his body was continuously integrated into his body like a baby swallow returning to its nest, and the spiritual power naturally dissipated from the fourth-order middle-grade spiritual veins actually felt like it couldn't make ends meet.

The fourth-level middle-grade spirit veins of Peiling Mountain, under the careful cultivation of the monks of the sect, are already at the peak level of the fourth-level middle-grade, and it is only one step away from the top-grade. The amount of escaped spiritual power retained was already quite a terrifying amount.

It can be seen from this that the huge gap between Jindan and Yuanying, under the nourishment of a lot of spiritual power, the two are not the same at all.

And with the acceleration of the integration between the real pill and the virtual pill, the devouring of spiritual power is also a process of continuous improvement. It is this bit by bit of tamping and making up for the foundation that is the ultimate prestige of the Nascent Soul. Start.

As the first stage of integration, apart from ensuring the supply of spiritual power, it does not have much substantial impact or harm to monks.

Of course, this is only for some monks who have the full support of the sect. On the contrary, for Zhao Shoushou, once this process starts, it means that it will no longer be possible to hide.

With the disappearance of a large amount of spiritual power, as long as the monks in Peilingmen are not fools, sooner or later they will surely discover the culprit of all this.

At that time, Pei Lingmen's attitude will be the most critical. Whether he is friendly or not is almost related to whether he can continue to improve his cultivation.

According to Zhao Shoushou's calculations, based on the severe situation Peilingmen is currently facing, he will definitely go all out to win over a Nascent Soul Stage monk who is about to be promoted.

Although the cultivation world of the Central Plains covers a vast and boundless area, and various resources are quite abundant, a monk at the Nascent Soul stage can also suppress the existence of the sect's luck.

All it takes is one more newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator, and the current predicament Pei Lingmen is facing will certainly not cause any confusion.

Based on the current situation, the Yuanying Patriarch of Peilingmen would definitely make the right choice if given the chance, which is also the main reason why Zhao Shoushou chose to risk promotion here.

With the passage of time, in the small underground retreat, the originally dense spiritual power that almost drowned the body disappeared without a trace. Whenever a ray of spiritual power emanated from the spiritual veins, it would be impatient to refine it. For a period of time, there will be some white spiritual power overflowing, and the quality of these things is obviously higher.

Originally like blood vessels, in the spiritual power channels above the spiritual veins that are dedicated to the distribution of spiritual power, the spiritual power that should be full is now only about half.

It can be seen from this that after he started attacking Nascent Soul, a large number of elixir gardens belonging to Peilingmen will definitely have a big delay in the next elixir maturity.

Under normal circumstances, with the full support of a fourth-order high-grade spiritual vein, this situation should not have happened. As long as preparations are made in advance and careful deployment, the promotion of a Nascent Soul cultivator will not cause too much pressure .

What's more, in every sect, there must be some secret places specially opened up for cultivation and promotion, in which the abundance and concentration of spiritual power is unimaginable.

All of this has nothing to do with Zhao Shoushou. When Jindan and Xudan were about halfway through with the help of Huadanjuyingshui, the changes here finally attracted the attention of some interested people in Peilingmen, especially It is in some elixir gardens that are already remote, low-grade, and neglected.

In addition to prolonging the growth time of the elixir, some elixir that is more suitable for the growth environment even began to show signs of yellowing and withering.

A elixir garden meant a year or even several years of cultivation resources for a low-level cultivator of the Peilingmen. The reactions of these low-level monks who had suffered such a catastrophe finally caught the attention of the head of the Peilingmen.

But it was obviously a bit late at this time, Zhao Shoushou had successfully completed the fusion of the two pills in the first stage, and the powerful aura rising up was undoubtedly revealed, and the formation that was originally used as a cover was shattered at the first time Come.

Zhao Shoushou's face in the retreat room was full of painful expressions. After the fusion between the golden core and the virtual core was completely completed, a mixture of spiritual power and spiritual consciousness that was completely out of his control spread throughout his body. Running around, like a lively snake, the fleshy skin of its whole body bulged.

Similar torture to the physical body would not cause too much confusion to a qualified monk. At present, Zhao Shoushou's full energy is placed on a golden pill the size of an egg.

After the fusion was completed, Jin Dan's body size did not increase significantly, but a layer of gray-brown special enveloping color was left on the body surface.

The next step is the biggest hurdle that monks face, breaking the golden core and condensing the essence in it for the first time, shaping it into a Nascent Soul.

It is very risky to become a baby from a broken pill, and if it fails, there is no way to save it. The monk has no other choice but to die on the spot.

Even if Zhao Shoushou had Huadan Juying Water, which could greatly reduce the risks in the process, it could be called a real life-and-death test.

There is always a direct ratio between effort and gain. Once you pass this threshold, it is also a sublimation of your life for a monk. Otherwise, how can you be entitled to another greatly increased lifespan?

"Man will conquer the sky, a hundred years of planning, all in the present, the achievement of the Nascent Soul, broken" With the expression on his face confirmed, almost at the same time as the words fell, there was only a soft "click" sound, and the soul that had been carefully cultivated for hundreds of years The pill shattered, and a large amount of innumerable special spiritual power accumulated in the body bit by bit. Zhao Shoushou's face was covered in pain and gray-black, and his body was also shaking left and right under the torture of severe pain.

The pain that came from the moment the golden core shattered was almost better than all the serious injuries in the previous practice. This is a real kind of pain, but you must force yourself to stay awake enough. This is not just a pain, it is simply a pain. It was real torture. Based on his experience, he was constantly panting.

In fact, in the face of such severe pain under normal circumstances, coma is the best choice, but at this moment, it happens to be at the critical moment of the success or failure of the promotion of cultivation base, soberness of mind is the minimum requirement.

Fortunately, this kind of pain came and went quickly, as long as he could not lose consciousness for the first time, coupled with the warm effect of the dantian's inner Huadanjuying water, after about three or five breaths, Zhao Shoushou breathed a sigh of relief. Straits of special dense energy hovered around the body, forming a vortex of spiritual power, which greatly increased the strength of the extraction of spiritual power in the air.

The first unlucky thing is naturally the spiritual power dredging pipeline that is closer to the retreat place. Almost at the moment when the spiritual power vortex is formed, the remaining spiritual power is instantly drawn out.
