Mortal Cultivation: Immortality begins with the Spirit Gathering Array!

Qingcui Peak, inside the cave.

"If you want to set up the water spirit gathering array, you must first engrave the array pattern of the core of the array on the blank array diagram to use as the foundation of this array."

Su Ming took out a brocade box from the storage bag, and with a sweep of his spiritual sense, a blank array diagram emitting a light yellow halo appeared in his hand.

Originally, the blank array diagram made of water-attributed spiritual materials would have the best effect when setting up the water spirit gathering array, but this blank array diagram made of topaz bark has no attribute bias, and it can also bring out the effect of the water spirit gathering array.

Su Ming sat cross-legged on the stone bed, with the blank array diagram suspended at his chest. Then he was seen making handprints with one hand, and the fingers of his left hand moved on the blank array diagram like flowing water.

Light blue array patterns appeared and disappeared on the blank array diagram like swimming fish. As Su Ming's finger formulas kept changing, the outline of the water spirit gathering array on the array diagram gradually became clear.

Time passed by bit by bit, and the mana in Su Ming's body passed away with the continuous engraving of the array pattern, and a few drops of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

"The highest good is like water, water benefits all things without competing..."

"The five elements are interdependent, and the water element gathers spirits."

"Condensate!"

A gleam of light flashed in Su Ming's eyes, and he let out a low shout, and a light blue halo emanated from the array diagram floating on his chest.

The water element gathering spirit array diagram is completed!

Huh!

A breath of turbid air came out of his mouth, and Su Ming only felt his limbs go weak, and he fell straight on the stone bed.

'Arranging a first-level superior array is still too difficult for my cultivation. Refining the array diagram almost drained my mana and consciousness, but fortunately it is no different from the simulation of the river map space, and the array diagram of the water element gathering spirit array has been successfully refined. '

Looking at the array diagram in his hand full of array patterns and emitting a blue halo, Su Ming showed a satisfied smile on his face.

Although he had simulated hundreds and thousands of times in the Hetu space, it was the first time for Su Ming to refine the formation diagram in the real world, so he was inevitably a little nervous.

With the third level of Qi Refining, he refined the first-level top-grade formation diagram. Even though Su Ming had mastered the Water Spirit Gathering Array through the Hetu Luoshu, he still almost exhausted his mana and consciousness. Fortunately, he succeeded in refining the most important formation diagram of the Water Spirit Gathering Array.

After the formation diagram was refined, it could be used as the formation base, and the Water Spirit Gathering Array was almost completed.

Since it was a formation that Su Ming tailored for himself, the formation eye was himself, and the remaining formation flags could be replaced by water-attributed jade or spirit stones.

After confirming that there was no problem with the Water Spirit Gathering Array diagram, Su Ming felt that he could no longer resist the double pressure on his body and mind, and he fainted directly.

......

The next day.

The formation materials on the stone table in the cave had disappeared, replaced by a water spirit gathering formation emitting a light blue light.

Su Ming sat cross-legged on the stone bed, and the mana in his body circulated along the route of the [Water Spirit Technique] technique. After slowly closing the technique, he exhaled a long breath of turbid air, opened his eyes, and a trace of joy flashed in his eyes.

"Good, good, good!"

"With the help of this formation, I have hope of building a foundation!"

Su Ming couldn't help but say three times, with a satisfied smile on his face.

This was the first time he used the water-based spirit gathering array to practice, which brought Su Ming a huge surprise.

In the past, when practicing, Su Ming not only had to practice the technique, but also had to select the water-attributed spiritual energy he needed, capture it and refine it into his own mana.

With his qualifications as a four-element pseudo-spiritual root, this process was extremely laborious, and the efficiency was extremely low because the spiritual root was not sensitive enough to spiritual energy.

The water-based spirit gathering array can assist in practice. The area within three feet around the stone bed is almost filled with water-attributed spiritual energy, so Su Ming only needs to focus on running the technique, and does not need to spend his mind to select water-attributed spiritual energy.

Even though the pseudo spiritual root is not sensitive enough to spiritual energy, there is almost no other spiritual energy within Su Ming's three-meter range except for water-attributed spiritual energy.

This also means that the three spiritual roots of gold, wood and fire in the body can only watch, and there is no way to hinder Su Ming's practice process, which greatly increases the efficiency of refining spiritual energy.

In Su Ming's perception, his current practice speed is probably faster than the three true spiritual roots, but it should not be as fast as the practice speed of double spiritual roots.

Just one practice made Su Ming feel that the bottleneck of the middle stage of Qi Refining began to loosen, and even gave him a feeling that he could force a breakthrough as long as he wanted.

However, Su Ming did not choose to force a breakthrough, but chose to let nature take its course. From now on, it seems that the bottleneck of the middle stage of Qi Refining will disappear within a month, and there is no need to rush.

After feeling it, Su Ming closed his eyes again and sat cross-legged on the stone bed to practice.

The process of selecting spiritual energy was omitted, which greatly reduced the loss of mind and spirit during the practice, allowing him to practice longer every day.

......

Ten days later.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

In the cave, the sound of long breathing continued to echo. Su Ming sat cross-legged on the stone bed with his eyes closed, emptying his mind.

When the distracting thoughts in his mind gradually dissipated and his whole heart was as calm as water, the blue halo emitted by the water-based spirit gathering array on the ground became deeper and deeper, and strands of water-attributed spiritual energy were continuously refined by Su Ming.

A pure water spiritual power spread and spread towards the tendons and limbs in the body. Su Ming pinched the magic formula in his hands, his face was gentle and calm.

A faint blue light was cast on his face. The mana in his body circulated the small Zhoutian again and again according to the [Water Spirit Formula], refining the water-attributed spiritual power in the air into his own mana, and the mana in his dantian, which was difficult to advance, became more and more full and complete.

At a certain moment, it was like a bubble bursting, and a little more mana appeared in the body out of thin air, as if breaking a certain boundary, and the speed of mana growth suddenly accelerated a lot.

Qi Refining Level 4, Qi Refining Middle Stage!

Su Ming broke through to the Qi Refining Level 4 naturally, and successfully broke through from the early stage of Qi Refining to the middle stage of Qi Refining. The mana in the body grew rapidly, and it was about 50% higher than the sum of the three levels of Qi Refining before he stopped.

He continued to absorb the water attribute aura condensed by the water spirit gathering array to stabilize the cultivation that had just broken through, and stopped only after the mana in the body was stable and no longer frivolous.

Feeling the mana in the dantian that was much deeper than before, this process of continuous strengthening during the cultivation process was fascinating, and a smile appeared on Su Ming's face.

Qi Refining cultivators cultivate by absorbing the aura of heaven and earth to eliminate impurities in the body, achieving the effect of prolonging life.

However, this effect has a limit.

When the human body reaches the age of 40, the essence in the body will gradually begin to decline, and the function of the physical body's qi and blood will begin to decline. After the age of 60, the qi and blood will completely decline, and there is basically no hope of building a foundation.

Therefore, if you want to break through the foundation, the best time period is to improve your cultivation to the perfection of Qi Refining before the age of forty.

With Su Ming's four pseudo-spiritual roots, and without the support of others, it is impossible to cultivate to the perfection of Qi Refining before the age of forty.

But the appearance of the River Map and Luoshu, and the terrifying effect of the Water Gathering Spirit Array, made Su Ming somewhat confident about cultivating to the perfection of Qi Refining before the age of forty.

If the original pseudo-spiritual root cultivation speed was walking, now with the assistance of the Water Gathering Spirit Array, Su Ming felt like galloping on a horse, and the difference between the two is self-evident.

"I stayed in the other courtyard to awaken the children for two years, and there should be another year before the next sect chores."

Su Ming calculated the time and continued to sit cross-legged on the stone bed to practice.
