Practice begins with a fisherman

However, he has absolutely no interest in suppressing demons and goblins with a pure heart and few desires, and putting all his hopes of practice on reincarnation.

Although there is no Taoist companion to accompany him now, according to his thoughts, on the road of practice, a like-minded Taoist companion is obviously indispensable, and the method of dual cultivation is also quite yearning.

The combination of all these reasons doomed the Buddha to miss him, no matter how many bad ideas this Arhat Temple had, they couldn't impress him.

Not to mention the observation and evaluation of the monks present by the little monk Huitong and the head of the Arhat Temple, time passed very quickly in the fierce competition, and it was already the second half of the auction in the blink of an eye.

Most of the more than [-] treasures that appeared in the first half of the auction carefully prepared by Luohan Temple were first-tier mid-grade, because there were no treasures that attracted him to fight because of the rich spoils in the storage bag.

The finale of each auction will naturally appear in the second half, so Zhao Shoushou is not only not discouraged at all, but is even more eager to try.

"Thank you monks for your support to Luohan Temple. The second half of the auction will start next. The five treasures that will be presented are all carefully selected. You monks will definitely return with satisfaction from this trip." The old abbot said confidently with.

"The first treasure is the spirit ship of the first-level mid-grade poisonous crocodile. This spirit ship is made of the bones of the first-level mid-grade poisonous crocodile and filled with more than ten kinds of spiritual materials. There are two souls of poisonous crocodile in the spirit ship. As the core, this treasure is like walking on the ground in the rivers and lakes. If it encounters an enemy attack, it can still release toxins. If it is not incompatible with Buddhism, Luohan Temple will definitely not auction it. The starting price is 120 yuan. Soul ship.

"A first-tier mid-tier spirit ship that is both offensive and defensive is a good treasure, but it's a pity that it's not a water attribute monk, so it's always a little difficult to control it."

"Although the treasure is good, the price of 120 low-grade spirit stones is too high"

"After the chaos broke out, having this treasure to face the attacks of demons and ghosts is the real way to advance, attack, retreat and defend. 120 five low-grade spirit stones"

Compared to the fierce competition for various treasures before, no matter what the reason was after the appearance of the spirit ship, there was rarely a blank period of time.

"150 low-grade spirit stones" Zhao Shoushou bid decisively. A good-quality spirit ship is definitely not easy to come across, especially for casual cultivators.

Therefore, he directly set the price as high as 30 yuan, trying to catch some monks who hadn't reacted by surprise in this way, and pocketed the treasure.

"How can a treasure be dusted? 180 low-grade spirit stones, if a fellow daoist can offer a higher price, it will naturally belong to the fellow daoist." I don't know if it was an accident or a long-planned plan, a strange monk directly raised the price.

"As a local monk in Cormorant County, how can Zhao watch the treasures flow out, the abbot will see how he can exchange them?" Zhao Shoushou did not continue to bid, but took out a well-made copper bowl from the storage bag .

"The copper bowl carved with sheep is indeed a treasure of my Buddhist family. This poisonous crocodile spirit boat belongs to a fellow Taoist." The old abbot snatched it up without stealing the bell, and quickly finalized the transaction successfully.

Chapter 123 First-Rank Top-Rank Water Chanting Sword

Zhao Shoushou didn't know that when he took out the bronze carved sheep bowl for the transaction, the eyes of the little monk Huitong, the Zhike monk, the head of the Arhat Temple, and even the old abbot on the auction stage looked at him with a special look.

In the eyes of most devout Buddhist monks, the monks who can get a Buddhist vessel before their conversion must be predestined people who are just waiting for the Buddha's conversion.

The magic tools used by monks are divided by grades. The Buddhist tools used by the monks, especially some magic tools with special significance, are mostly distinguished by the patterns carved on them by special means.

The sheep carving is basically consistent with the first-order middle-grade magic weapon, because its carrier is a copper bowl, which is different from ordinary Buddhist vessels. It is precisely because of this that the old abbot can't wait to announce the success of the transaction.

This made Zhao Shoushou a little surprised. If he delayed for a while, he might be able to exchange for a more powerful treasure. Of course, he was also very satisfied with getting a first-tier middle-grade spirit ship for nothing.

"The second treasure is the flying tray of the first-level middle-grade flying magic weapon. There is no doubt about the preciousness of the flying magic weapon. With this treasure in hand, you can choose to attack or retreat at will. Please note that this is a flying magic weapon that can carry people. Artifact, the starting price is 210 low-grade spirit stones." A strange-looking magic weapon appeared in his hand.

Flying artifacts belong to the nobility among magic artifacts, and their price is basically the same as that of other types. Another thing to note is that flying artifacts consume a lot of mana.

Except for some freaks who have solid foundations and practice special skills, the monks who control them also have a higher level of cultivation. The first-order middle-grade flying magic weapon can only be used by monks in the late stage of Qi refining to exert its true power.

The old abbot, this magic weapon that can carry people to fly, consumes a lot of mana. Even if it is practiced by one person, it is still higher than the flying magic weapon of the same level.

As for flying with people, it is estimated that only the monks in the foundation stage who can continuously recover mana can realize it, and at the worst, it is possible to try it at the tenth level of demon training.

No matter how many shortcomings this first-tier mid-grade flying tray has, it doesn't affect the monks' enthusiasm for flying magic weapons. When it appeared, the monks present breathed a lot harder.

"230 low-grade spirit stones"

"240 five low-grade spirit stones"

The "260 five low-grade spirit stones" flying magic weapon, which is rarely seen on weekdays, shocked the most primitive desires in the hearts of the monks, and the competition for him quickly became fierce.

This skyrocketing price made Zhao Shoushou feel unbelievable. The first word for casual cultivation was "poor and destitute". Who would have thought that once he met a suitable treasure, it would also be very hot.

In the end, the flying tray, a mid-level mid-level flying instrument, was purchased by a veiled female cultivator with a charming figure at a high price of 410 and five low-level spirit stones.

The third treasure prepared by Luohan Temple was a set of rare first-grade middle-grade mother-child swords. This kind of treasure that can be used more often and consumes less mana is also very popular. It was finally sold for 300 yuan for low-grade spirit stones.

Zhao Shoushou was also envious of this treasure, but after considering that there were already a lot of first-tier middle-grade artifacts in the storage bag, he decided to reluctantly give up after thinking twice.

His purpose of coming here is very clear, except for a first-tier middle-grade poison crocodile spirit ship, the main purpose is to buy a first-tier top-grade magic weapon.

The fourth treasure is a bottle of ten first-grade top-grade Yanzhong pills, a rare first-grade top-grade panacea that can help improve one's cultivation.

The first-order high-grade Yanzhong pill is made of first-grade high-grade spiritual rock as the main material, supplemented by some first-grade middle-grade elixir. Compared with ordinary elixir, it contains a rock poison that is relatively difficult to get rid of. Can take one.

However, in the world of comprehension, the panacea that can help improve one's cultivation is always a hard currency. No matter how many defects there are, it is the best-selling treasure, and it was sold at a price of 270 six low-grade spirit stones.

"The Luohan Temple auction is coming to an end, and the last treasure is the real finale treasure, the first-grade high-grade water singing sword, made of first-grade high-grade water-chanting stone, carefully refined by a first-grade high-grade refiner, In addition to being good at fierce frontal attacks, he can still manipulate three anacondas to assist him. Compared with magic weapons of the same level, the biggest advantage is that he consumes less mana. The auction price: 350 low-grade spirit stones" the old abbot After displaying the Water Song Sword, the auction of the last treasure officially began.

"God is sorry, it should come into operation at a certain time. This first-grade high-grade magic weapon with pure water attributes can make up for most of the shortcomings of a certain person who is not good at frontal attacks. 360 five low-grade spirit stones." Zhao Shoushou is very satisfied with the water singing sword. So make a decisive offer.

"It doesn't take much effort to find a place where you can't get through the iron shoes. This treasure is just right for the old lord. Please give way to fellow Taoists, 380 low-grade spirit stones."

"Treasures with spirits are always housed by virtuous people, how can they be made out of mutual humility? 390 five low-grade spirit stones"

"400 yuan low-grade spirit stone"

In the auction field, it can be said that the Eight Immortals are crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers, there are those who attack each other, and there are those who bid silently, and the only purpose is to buy the treasure at the lowest price.

After breaking through 450 yuan, the competition for the first-order top-grade Shuiyin sword gradually slowed down. When it broke through 500 yuan, only Zhao Shoushou and a female cultivator who refused to give up an inch were left to compete with each other.

With the blessing of spiritual wine and a series of trophies, he should be a relatively wealthy group of people among casual cultivators of the same level. After a series of consumption, he can be used to buy the spirit stone of the first-level top-grade water singing sword It is also one of the few.

When the price slowly but still steadily increased to 550 low-grade spirit stones, Zhao Shoushou already felt a lot of pressure. He couldn't figure out why the nuns opposite him were so persistent.

Originally, it was only out of interest in the relatively good quality of the Shuiyin Sword, but at this moment, there is a little shift. Could it be that there is a secret hidden in this seemingly simple spirit sword?

In Fangshi, the normal price of a first-grade high-grade magic weapon is around 450 to 520 low-grade spirit stones, and some high-quality first-grade high-grade magic weapons will not exceed 600 yuan for low-grade spirit stones.

"This fellow daoist invited me. It doesn't make any sense to entangle like this. It's just a lose-lose situation. Zhao has only 600 yuan of low-grade spirit stones in his storage bag. If the fellow daoist can get an extra piece, he will bow down." Zhao Shoushou, who was unwilling to continue entanglement Directly show the last hole card.

"Fellow Daoist has a lot of wealth, for a not-so-excellent first-grade top-grade water singing sword, the little girl surrendered." The clear and clear voice of Huang Li made him a little obsessed for a while.

"Congratulations to Cultivator Zhao for winning the finale treasure, the first-grade top-grade Water Chanting Sword. This auction is officially over. If fellow daoists are willing to continue trading freely, Arhat Temple is willing to provide a venue. Cultivators, please do as you please, and I will leave first." I don't know Intentionally or not, the old abbot's special voice awakened him from his obsession.

Chapter 124 The old abbot's temptation

"Huh..." Zhao Shoushou snorted coldly as if awakened from a dream. The peak-level spiritual consciousness in the middle of Qi training was condensed into a sharp knife, and he slashed at the female cultivator's spiritual consciousness that had not yet evacuated.

This female cultivator with a beautiful and pure face, who is proficient in the art of charm, attacked him secretly without warning. If the old abbot didn't come to his rescue, the consequences would be disastrous.

The effect of the charm technique can be large or small, the strong can play with many male cultivators in the palm of their hands, and get what they want, and the weak can also let the monks indulge in it.

There is no other enmity, just because he failed to compete for a magic weapon, he secretly used the charm technique, how could Zhao Shoushou forgive him easily?

"A stinky man who doesn't understand the style" the nun's face suddenly turned a strange red, but the words in her words revealed that the style was completely different from before.

There was some backlash after the failure of the charm, and he was seriously injured by Zhao Shoushou's spiritual knife.

In fact, the effect of the charm technique is not as powerful as imagined. As long as the monks of the same level are a little more vigilant, they can only return in vain.

The monks' free trading stage was also very lively, but real treasures would definitely not appear here, and the monks who came to the stage to exchange only showed things that were not used in ordinary times.

As for the idea of ​​picking up leaks, it is rarely realized. These casual cultivators can't wait to memorize all the information of spiritual materials that can be searched. Even if they encounter some treasures that cannot be recognized for a while, they will not sell them easily.

It is no less difficult to pick up the leaks in the hands of these casual cultivators than to fight some powerful monsters, but this does not hinder the excitement of the free trading stage.

On the contrary, because all the treasures sold by these monks are [-]% or [-]% new, the price is cheaper than the brand new ones, and it does not affect the use, so it is more lively when you are fighting for it.

However, the grade and type of these treasures obviously did not attract Zhao Shoushou's attention, so he had quietly left in the second half of the free trade.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, please stop. The abbot of our temple is waiting in the main hall. How about asking fellow Daoists to discuss the Daoism?" Little monk Huitong, a knowledgeable monk, seemed to have been waiting outside the auction site.

"Abbot Duomeng at the auction site was generous enough to save him. He hasn't expressed his gratitude yet. Fellow Wisdom Daoist, let's go ahead." Zhao Shoushou didn't refuse. He was also very interested in the abbot of Luohan Temple and wanted to see what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

In the main hall of the Arhat Temple, behind the bald head of the benevolent and kind-hearted old abbot, ten dazzling Buddha lights are undoubtedly displayed. Under the majesty of the Eighteen Arhats, it looks quite charming.

"Abbot Zhao is very grateful for the help of the abbot in the auction. If there is a drive in the future, he will not shirk in the slightest if he is within a certain range of strength." Zhao Shoushou patted his chest and assured, as if this is the only way to express his inner gratitude.

"The monks don't want to repay their kindness. How can some youngsters make trouble in the Arhat Temple? Today I just asked my friends about Buddhism?" The old abbot asked bluntly.

"Buddhist and Taoist monks are merciful, sympathetic to the world and human beings, and they face the demons and ghosts independently with great mercy and great strength. Zhao admires them so much." Zhao Shoushou has never been stingy about some words of praise that don't cost extra.

Of course, admiration does not mean approval, nor does it mean that he will assimilate into it. The strategy after the outbreak of chaos in the future has already been determined, and he does not mind fighting against it under the condition of ensuring his own integrity.

The best strategy is naturally to gain the maximum benefits while dealing with the ghosts. It is impossible for him to fight the ghosts with his life like these monks.

As a casual cultivator, it can be said that he has no fixed place to live, even if Lumorant County is invaded by demons and ghosts, so what?Where is the world so big?

As the saying goes, those without property have no perseverance. Isn’t casual cultivator just a group of people without property?Once there is a disagreement, the first ones to run away must be casual cultivators, after all, they have nothing to protect.

"Cultivator Zhao is also a person with a heart of Buddha and roots of wisdom, would you like to join us in protecting a clean place in the world amidst the chaos of demons and ghosts?" The old abbot opened his invitation after mutual testing.

"I'm afraid I will disappoint the old abbot. Zhao's six roots are deeply entangled with the secular world. I dare not hide it from the abbot. The greatest wish in this life is to find a companion in the world of mortals. Wouldn't it tarnish the reputation of Buddhism if he joins?" Zhao Shoushou's reason for refusing was very different.

"The world of mortals is nothing but a bone in the end, beauty is nothing but a bone-eating knife, and the gate of the Arhat Temple is always open for monks," the old abbot said and left with his staff.

"What an interesting old monk, Lao Zhao will also become a predestined person in the Buddhist family. It's a pity, a pity." If it was another time, he might really be willing to devote himself to Buddhism, but it is definitely not the eve of the outbreak of chaos. Cannon fodder manipulates at will.

Zhao Shoushou also left very simply. It has been more than three months since the backlash of the blood cone technique, and nine out of ten of the backlash power has disappeared. The Essence Blood Pill and the first-level top-grade Shuiyin Sword are all ready, and it is time to concentrate all your strength Charge towards the late stage of Qi refining.

All planning must be based on one's own strength. Even if one wants to have the right to speak and a certain self-protection ability among casual cultivators, the later stage of Qi refining is the most basic requirement.

After leaving enough spirit beast pills and blood food for the two cormorants who were still asleep, Zhao Shoushou entered the training room and started his path to the late stage of Qi refining.

The Qi-refining Dzogchen stage on the tenth level of Qi-refining is actually a strengthening of the spiritual power in the dantian, as long as the strength of the mana in the dantian meets the requirements.

The late stage of gas refining is the last big threshold of the gas refining stage, and it is also a key stage to realize the promotion of mana from gasification liquid to the foundation building stage.

At the beginning of the retreat, Zhao Shoushou was not in a hurry to swallow the first-grade high-grade essence and blood pill to attack the bottleneck. Instead, he was strict and unhurried, just like a normal retreat, trying to adjust his energy to the peak to ensure the greatest success rate of the attack.

The sun rises and the moon sets, day and night alternate, and time goes by bit by bit. For the monks in retreat, time is not only the most precious and luxurious, but also the fastest passing.

"Phew, everything is ready, it's only due to Dongfeng, it's time to take the first-grade high-grade blood essence pill." Two months later, the backlash power of the blood cone technique completely disappeared, all hidden dangers disappeared, and the mana in the dantian was surging, It is the best time to swallow the Essence and Blood Pill to help improve the cultivation base.

The first-grade top-grade essence blood pill melts in the mouth, but compared to most of the sweet and delicious tastes of other panacea pills, it has a bloody smell that fills the throat.

The liquid transformed by the Essence Blood Pill did not enter the dantian as usual, but dispersed among the eight extraordinary meridians, igniting the blood in the body almost at the same time.

At this moment, Zhao Shoushou's whole body was as red as a boiled crab, and the burning blood turned into a red force, rushing into his dantian.

The originally calm mana seemed to have suddenly encountered a boundless and irresistible storm, and it was condensed with the spiritual consciousness and was forced to launch a wave of shocks to the bottleneck in the late stage of Qi refining.

Chapter 125 Seventh Level of Advanced Qi Refining

If one relies solely on the power of mana in the dantian according to the normal situation, it will take enough water and effort to hit the bottleneck in the later stage of Qi refining, just like water dripping through a stone to succeed.

Today, with the assistance of the Essence Blood Pill, the power of the Essence Blood Burning Explosion is far beyond the initial imagination. The combination of mana and mysterious red power erupts far beyond normal power.

Every attack on the solid bottleneck in the late stage of Qi refining will cause a considerable shaking, and as time goes by, the shaking will become larger and larger.

Correspondingly, the counterattack force brought by each failed cohesion force attack will naturally become stronger, and a trace of blood has appeared on the corner of the mouth since the third time.

With the passage of time, Zhao Shoushou's face, which was originally strangely red from taking the Essence Blood Pill, has gradually faded away, and this situation becomes more and more obvious after every failure to hit the bottleneck.

Another point is that this unprecedented violent impact also consumes a lot of mana in the dantian. The mana that could have lasted at least a month has been consumed in less than ten days.

And because of the fusion of essence blood pill and mana power, he couldn't take the spirit pill to recover his spiritual power during the impact, which would lead to a conflict between the two powers.

Although the burning of essence and blood brings strong power to hit the bottleneck, the feeling of weakness from the body is unavoidable as time goes by.

This is also the main reason why most sect disciples are unwilling to take the first-order high-grade essence blood pill to attack the late stage of Qi refining unless they have to.

Because they have the sect to rely on, they understand that with the improvement of their cultivation base, the proportion of the physical body will increase in the future cultivation path.

During the No. 15 days of retreat, Zhao Shoushou, who was sitting in the training room, was pale, and the muscles all over his body were shaking non-stop, as if he had reached the limit.

The actual situation is the same, after half a month of continuous impact, both the power of the Essence Blood Pill and the mana in the dantian have reached the limit that can be tolerated.

All efforts are rewarding, and all comparisons are two-way. The originally indestructible bottleneck in the late stage of Qi refining is also on the verge of collapse.

Unwilling to accept failure, Zhao Shoushou was gathering and squeezing the last of his strength, and was about to try for the last time. After all, the price to be paid for taking the second Essence Blood Pill was too high.

He is devoting himself to retreating and practicing to find ways to break through the bottleneck, and the Luohan Temple, which is not too far away, is also conducting a new plan.

After the well-prepared auction, judging from the number of monks who have increased a lot, it has proved to be effective. Of course, most of them are new monks who are around the fourth level of Qi training.

For them, the outbreak of chaos is close at hand, but the temptation and obsession of the sect are hard to overcome. After extending an olive branch in the Arhat Temple, they decisively became a part of it.

However, the old abbot and the chief seat are not satisfied with all this. It is not enough to rely on them alone if they want to survive the chaos that is especially terrifying for Buddhist monks. Zhao Shoushou in the late Qi is one of their best targets.

"Zhao Shoushou's cultivation, aptitude, and combat power can all meet the needs of the temple, but he seems to have always kept Buddhist monks at arm's length. It may be quite difficult to get him to join us," said the monk Huitong, a monk with a sad face.

"Being respectful and far away shows that there is no aversion to Buddhism, which is a good thing. Since he is devoted to cultivating Taoism, he will not refuse to explore the cave of a monk who is at the peak of Qi training, especially a former first-rank alchemist. Let the news out "After the old abbot finished speaking, he went to the hall.

"The Tao is one foot tall and the Buddha is ten feet tall. My Buddha is merciful." The Zhike monk smiled mysteriously and turned to the layman in the temple.

Zhao Shoushou, who was in retreat, naturally would not have imagined that a group of monks in Luohan Temple would go through so much trouble, but he is now at a critical moment.

Under his exhaustive squeeze, all the potential was stimulated, a mana that suddenly appeared in the dantian and some hidden red power in the eight meridians were condensed together, and formed a spear-like appearance in the dantian.
