Practice begins with a fisherman

If he can have some unique insights on this road, some sects may specially call him into the sect and become a special kind of talent monk.

Of course, this point does not have much appeal to Zhao Shoushou, who has no ambitions here. After the initial comprehension, he immediately put it behind him and ignored it.

Perhaps after a few years in the future, when a suitable opportunity is encountered, enough time will be spared to continue to study the principles in depth.

Judging from these three spiritual arts, its core is undoubtedly the product of one-element heavy water, which is condensed in cultivation, and it will definitely shine in future battles.

The healing of injuries and the comprehension of spiritual arts are undoubtedly an indispensable part of the road of practice. If a monk sees five five-element spiritual fruit neatly arranged in front of Zhao Shoushou, several bottles of spiritual pills with different effects, taken from The demon pills on some rare sea beasts.

You will definitely understand that what he values ​​most is not the above achievements, the next goal is to build the fifth floor of the foundation, and everything before is just laying the foundation.

"Fortunateness is the source of misfortune, and misfortune is the source of blessing. I learned something during the war, which is just used to assist the breakthrough of cultivation." Zhao Shoushou, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes tightly, but he couldn't help sighing.

If it weren't for the catalysis of the previous series of battles, it would not be easy to break through the bottleneck in the middle, even with the improvement of cultivation base to the peak of the fourth floor of foundation building.

Of course, all opportunities have a certain timeliness. If you can't grasp this fleeting understanding, it is very likely that everything will come to nothing.

Fortunately, Zhao Shoushou has always been excellent in this area, has good potential, coupled with his always decisive character, it is possible to have the current harvest. After he calmed down, he took down a water spirit fruit and swallowed it in one gulp Start to refine the precious spiritual fruit little by little.

The water element spirit fruit melts in the mouth and has a special taste of spirit water. The spirit water enters the abdomen along the throat and instantly melts into the seven meridians and eight meridians. Whenever Zhao Shoushou successfully runs a big cycle, he will clearly notice Feeling a stream of pure spiritual power merge into the dantian, feeling a little bit of improvement in cultivation.

Chapter 333 A Blessing in Misfortune – The Fifth Floor of Foundation Building

The spiritual power from the water spirit fruit is obviously different from the external spiritual power. In addition to being more pure, it also has a certain effect on strengthening the monk's meridians.

In addition, every time a ray of spiritual power refines into the dantian, there will always be a part of it dissipating in the body, and in this way, it will slowly make up for and improve the previous deficiency of the physical body.

During the whole process, Zhao Shoushou could almost clearly feel the steady improvement of his strength little by little. This feeling really made people quite intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.

It is precisely because of the special function of the Five Elements Lingyuan Fruit that after obtaining the map mark, the other party will travel thousands of miles and arrive at the Giant Whale Island without hesitation to face all kinds of dangers.

Isn't this the time to enjoy the fruits?Another important achievement is the emerald green jade bottle containing the elixir. It is the treasure that at the last moment, he would rather risk many monks to intercept and kill him than snatch it from the chaotic sea.

What is contained in the jade bottle is the famous second-order middle-grade green elixir, which can help monks in the middle stage of foundation establishment to assist in improving their cultivation.

Its effect is naturally unquestionable. It can be called a small best among the same level. The most important thing is that the content of erysipelas is also quite rare, and its influence on monks is almost non-existent.

The refining of the green elixir is quite cumbersome, and at least an experienced second-level top-grade alchemist is required to be sure of success. On weekdays, this kind of elixir is basically controlled by the major sects.

Naturally, Zhao Shoushou and other casual cultivators had no chance to take it. Who would have thought that it was just a chance to encounter a surge of divine beasts that hadn't appeared in hundreds of years. How lucky is that?

Since the green elixir is so precious, taking it from the fourth level of foundation establishment to the fifth level of foundation establishment would somewhat waste its effect. The really appropriate time should be at the sixth level of foundation establishment.

Therefore, although Zhao Shoushou took them out at present, the order of their arrangement was quite lagging behind, and he would choose to take out one or two pills and eat them unless he had to in the end, so as to provide some motivation needed to move towards the fifth floor of Foundation Establishment.

The refinement of the first Water Element Fruit lasted for two months, and the effect was not cheap, fully worth a year of hard work, almost comparable to ten spirit pills of the same level.

And because the water spirit essence fruit has some functions of strengthening the foundation, after refining, in addition to the improvement of cultivation, the density and quality of mana are also significantly improved.

When a monk is promoted from the Qi refining stage to the foundation stage, what he realizes is the transformation of mana from gas to liquid, and from the foundation stage to the Jindan stage is the condensation of liquid to solid.

If in the cultivation process of the nine small stages in the foundation stage, each stage can slightly improve the quality of the mana in the dantian, which will be of great help to the final impact on the golden core stage.

In fact, the qi refining period, the foundation building period, and even the golden alchemy period are all connected. This is also the main reason why Zhao Shoushou has been obsessed with consolidating his foundation since he embarked on the road of cultivation.

His own aptitude is only four spiritual roots. After years of hard work, he has exhausted almost all means to improve his cultivation. At most, he is comparable to some monks with three spiritual roots. , Tianlinggen are fundamentally different.

If you can't be down-to-earth every step and constantly increase your own background, how can you break through the obstacles and condense the golden core?

You must know that in Nuoda's cultivation world, even monks with Shuanglinggen and Tianlinggen are not sure of victory in the face of this huge bottleneck, let alone him?

Therefore, it is understandable to be obsessed with special treasures such as water-type spirit fruit. After a total of three water-type spirit fruit are refined, they will naturally play a big role in strengthening their foundation.

Time flies, especially in the process of retreat. In a blink of an eye, it is already the end of the second year of retreat. With the disappearance of the four ghosts in the open sea, some daring monks have begun to wander around Xuanyuanling Island.

Fortunately, a year ago, under his strong arrangement, the two cormorants also began to dominate the nearby sea. Although their number cannot be compared with Xuanyuan turtle, they are not inferior in terms of fighting power alone.

As long as it is not facing the siege of a large number of Xuanyuan turtles, it is still more than enough, and with the assistance of the red-spotted flying ants secretly sent by Zhao Shoushou, it really has a firm foothold here.

And relying on the tyrannical combat power and close cooperation, he successfully subdued two blue swordfish sea beasts, both of the second-tier low-rank, and some first-tier mid-tier sea beasts, and became a small overlord nearby.

However, their purpose is not to compete with Xuanyuan Gui for the various blood ganoderma in the sea area, but to expel or even hunt the monks passing by here as blood food.

It was also thanks to the efforts of the two cormorants that Zhao Shoushou had the opportunity to continue his retreat. Of course, Xuanyuan Gui also contributed a lot.

Under such unprecedented stable conditions, Zhao Shoushou's cultivation was advancing rapidly, and he was only one step away from the fifth floor of Foundation Establishment.

After both mana and body reached their peak state, they only needed to successfully cross the last bottleneck to successfully upgrade their cultivation base to the fifth level of foundation building.

There is a certain gap in the strength of each small realm of the monks in the foundation building period, but it is not a big difference, but the fifth level of the foundation building is a symbol of a monk's strength and potential.

Under the influence of the sufficient spiritual power supplied by various heaven and earth treasures such as five elements spirit fruit, spirit pills, demon pills, and spirit veins, his cultivation level increased at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he didn't stop until he approached the bottleneck.

The bottleneck between the fourth floor of the foundation and the fifth floor of the foundation is like a small gap, which needs to be filled with enough resources to pass through smoothly.

These fillings are naturally high-purity mana after several refinements, but there are still a lot of potholes between the dantian and the bottleneck.

If you want to successfully replenish the gap in the bottleneck with mana, these large and small potholes naturally need to be filled first, which is why each bottleneck requires a lot of time and spiritual energy.

There is a saying in the world of self-cultivation that the process of breaking through bottlenecks and improving one's cultivation level is also a process of making up for one's own shortcomings. Only by constantly filling up all the shortcomings can one go further in the future.

The mana in the dantian vibrates endlessly under the action of the divine consciousness, and part of it condenses into high-quality silk threads, which spiral up little by little. Its function is to fill the large and small holes in the middle and complete them.

Of course, this process is not all smooth sailing. Whenever trying to fill these potholes, there will always be bursts of inexplicable counter-shock force gushing out from the source. Most of the time these silk threads condensed by mana are useless. .

They will even be torn apart during the anti-shock process, carrying a certain amount of backlash force, causing some minor injuries, but they should not be underestimated, these injuries are entirely possible to add up.

In the world of cultivation, there is no lack of things in the cultivation process where the erosion of the force of backlash is at the most critical moment, and they have no choice but to give up the bottleneck impact. This is not too rare in the world of cultivation.

Chapter 334 Returning to the Inner Sea

Therefore, in the process of improving his cultivation, Zhao Shoushou has been trying to control it within a certain range. The speed may be a little slower, but there is always something to gain.

Hard work pays off, and hard work will pay off. With Zhao Shoushou's hard work, he finally managed to get close to the main bottleneck after about two months.

In the previous two months of hard work, the series of potholes before the main bottleneck almost disappeared, just like a small road with potholes turned into a road to the sky.

A large amount of mana gushed out from the dantian, and quickly filled the main bottleneck along the successfully opened road, trying to successfully drive back the obstacles in the way.

"Bang rumbling" Unfortunately, the plan can never be compared with the change, and the breakthrough of the bottleneck will not be so easy, otherwise, how can it be qualified to be called a roadblock?

A large amount of mana has not yet approached, and the deterrent power from the main bottleneck is like an earth dragon turning over, not only to repel his attack, but also to destroy the Tongtian Avenue that has been sorted out before.

"Fa Li Rong, Di Mai Zhen, order..." How could Zhao Shoushou watch all this happen before his eyes and remain indifferent?He only heard a loud shout, and the large amount of mana did not collapse, but remained motionless as if rooted in place.

And with the vibration of the main bottleneck, a large amount of mana is also taking the opportunity to integrate into the small hole before, constantly strengthening its foundation, so that it will no longer be in danger of falling again.

Since the front of the main bottleneck is difficult to break through, it is also a good choice to attack from below. First, fix its roots, and then do the opposite. Maybe you can achieve the goal as quickly as possible.

Perhaps the only disadvantage of this method is that it consumes too much mana, which may be a problem for other monks, but Zhao Shoushou can guarantee it to survive smoothly.

And spread and fix from the root, another obvious benefit is naturally another way to consolidate the foundation, and its importance to monks is self-evident.

Now that he already has a plan in mind, according to his personality, he will definitely not procrastinate any further. Using the spiritual consciousness as the guide and mana as the tributary, soaking it up little by little is like another perfect display of a frog boiled in warm water.

When the main bottleneck discovers the change a few months later, no matter what kind of violent counterattack it is, it is just the last madness, and there is nothing to worry about.

Everything went more smoothly than he expected. When the last mana surged up, the main bottleneck's counterattack was almost quite weak.

The turbulent torrent of mana spread across, and when you crossed a threshold with great painstaking efforts, you instantly entered a new world.

When every stream of mana flows through this place, the original bottleneck will emit a special charm, making its quality significantly improved.

With this special promotion method, these mysterious powers will disappear after the last drop of mana flows through, and the quality of mana refined from then on will have an essential leap.

Successful promotion to the fifth level of Foundation Establishment does not mean that everything will be fine. The stability of the new realm also needs enough time, and the retreat will not be declared over until after March.

But Zhao Shoushou did not leave because of this, how could he return empty-handed after entering the treasure land?The Xuanyuan grass that is abundant on this Xuanyuanling Island is expensive. In addition, the blood ganoderma lucidum on the seabed, even the tortoise shell, demon pill, and blood essence of Xuanyuan tortoise are all rare treasures.

As a qualified monk, how could he miss this great opportunity?For him, after previous battles and improvements in cultivation, the threat of Xuanyuan Gui is obviously not too great. As long as he is careful and successfully hunts down some of them, the difficulty is not too great.

Second-tier mid-grade Xuanyuan grass usually appears in places with abundant spiritual power, and around this kind of spiritual grass will be guarded by a second-tier mid-grade black-tailed scorpion.

The smallest and largest of this kind of monster is only half the size of a fist, but it is highly poisonous. The most famous one is the inverted horse pile. Once hit by its tail needle, although it will not be fatal, it will cause severe pain all over the body. But it was unbearable.

These little guys have a hard leather shell, and their defense is not weak. In addition, they are good at the characteristics of hidden nirvana, and they are even better than the Xuanyuan turtle.

The most valuable thing about the black-tailed scorpion is its highly poisonous tail needle. After special treatment, it can be refined into a one-time spiritual weapon with strong lethality. It is also quite troublesome.

"It's a good thing Zhao is careful, otherwise it is really possible to get caught. One male and one female, one bright and one dark, they really are a loving couple." Looking at the two menacing black-tailed scorpions on the ground and underground, Zhao Shoushou gasped. Cool.

Knowing the existence of black-tailed scorpions, Zhao Shoushou didn't make a big move after discovering the first Xuanyuan spirit grass. Instead, he patrolled around it repeatedly with his spiritual sense, and finally found the traces of two black-tailed scorpions.

Constrained by his body, which is not considered strong at all, once his traces are revealed, under Zhao Shoushou's all-out serial attacks, he can only fall in the end. He didn't even use his unique trick to overthrow the horse's pile until his death. On the contrary, he successfully became his many trophies one.

This kind of busyness lasted for as long as two months, and Zhao Shoushou was not ready to leave this treasure island until all the treasures had been collected to a satisfactory amount.

"This is a blessed place with abundant resources, and I will definitely come back in the future." Accompanied by two cormorants, one on the left and one on the right, and with the scorching sun rising, the second-tier low-grade wave-breaking boat turned into a streamer Disappeared above the sea.

It may be due to the strong blood in his body or pure luck, there was no Xuanyuan turtle to stop him on the way out, and he left the sea area of ​​Xuanyuan turtle very smoothly.

The goal of this trip should be the Inner Sea. According to his calculations and the news he heard from different monks along the way, the next Inner Sea Spirit Island battle should not be far away.

The Battle for Spirit Island once every 50 years is a grand event in the entire outer sea cultivation world. Except for some monks who are wanted for various reasons, almost most of the monks will go to participate.

There is no doubt about the importance of the spiritual islands in the outer sea. Each spiritual island means a stable and continuous source of wealth. Therefore, only the strongest among the same ranks are eligible to occupy one of them.

And these spirit islands are all within the scope of the inner sea, as long as there is no large-scale sea beast tide, their safety is still good.

As for the source of the spirit island, of course, in the past 50 years, some of the strongest cultivation bases fell due to various reasons, and no new strong ones appeared during this period.

50 years does not seem to be a long time, and it is not a short reincarnation in the dangerous overseas cultivation world. Except for some monks who are willing to be ordinary, the rest are either dying or improving their cultivation.

The spirit islands provided each time are naturally from the former, and of course some newly appeared spirit islands are not excluded.

Chapter 335 The Recruitment of Qing Yun Sect

Whether in the inner sea or the outer sea, the appearance and disappearance of spirit islands due to various reasons are relatively common.

The area of ​​the newly-appeared islands is also different. The rank of the spiritual veins is generally above the second-rank low-grade, and there are some untapped resources on them, such as spiritual grass or spiritual mines, which are generally more precious.

The number of these disappearing or appearing spirit islands is related to a certain extent. The disappearing spirit islands are generally over-developed, which seems to be another kind of recuperation or reincarnation.

Of course, some spiritual islands that have been carefully developed by monks naturally have many unattainable benefits, the most prominent ones are undoubtedly the developed elixir gardens and spiritual fields.

According to the rules of the Overseas Cultivation World Spirit Island Alliance, the previous owner or his descendants can finish picking the mature elixir, but cannot intentionally damage the remaining part.

These growing elixir are also one of the important assets of the next island owner. After all, the interval between each battle for the spirit island is only 50 years.

If everything starts from scratch, the only ones that can be used to cultivate are some short-growing and low-grade elixir, which will not be of much use to many foundation-building monks.

In fact, for Zhao Shoushou, the value of a spiritual island, these elixir and spiritual fields are certainly important, but what he values ​​most is a stable rear.

For a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage who was running around, getting injured was nothing more than commonplace, and it was not uncommon to suffer serious injuries. However, having a stable and safe spiritual island is very important for healing.

Another point is that when retreating and breaking through the cultivation base, you can open the protective formation of Lingdao openly and recruit some soldiers to guard it, so you don't have to worry about sneak attacks by some people with ulterior motives.

The inner sea is basically in the hands of the monks. After the cultivation of countless monks, although there are still sea beasts, some basic rules have been formed.

Presumably, except for some special monks, no one will deliberately challenge this iron law. After all, it has been maintained and passed down by countless monks with the spiritual tools and magic weapons in their hands.

"To return to the inner sea this time, at least a second-tier middle-grade spirit island needs to be seized." Zhao Shoushou's gaze was unprecedentedly firm, and the purpose of this trip was also quite clear.

At present, Zhao Shoushou's cultivation is already at the fifth level of foundation building, and he needs at least a second-order middle-grade spiritual vein to meet his cultivation needs.

He has sufficient confidence in his combat power, which stems from the various battles and endless situations he has faced constantly since he embarked on the first level of Qi training on the road of cultivation.

Compared with the disciples of some cultivation sects, the only thing he lacks may be some inheritance, which has no effect on the combat effectiveness.

Even with Zhao Shoushou's full efforts to advance from Xuanyuanling Island to Qingyun Island, it took a full four months, and the journey was quite smooth.

Even the most dangerous Water Raven Strait passed smoothly in the dark night sky in the middle of the night. Except for some occasional water ravens, they never met the terrifying water raven king.

Outer sea is the world of sea beasts, and it is quite normal for some sea beasts to block them along the way. Some weak people become a kind of trophies. Facing the powerful second-tier high-grade sea beasts, he can only choose to run away.

Fortunately, these big guys are not too interested in a middle-stage foundation-building monk who is not low in combat power and blindly escapes.

Except for one of the second-tier high-grade vultures who desperately chased and killed it for thousands of sea miles, there were not too many accidents, and it arrived at Qingyun Island smoothly.

Qingyun Island is the location of Qingyunmen, a sect in the foundation establishment period. This sect can only be regarded as an inconspicuous small sect in the overseas cultivation world, and the most powerful sect is only the peak of the foundation establishment period.

According to his current cultivation base, there is not much deterrent effect, not to mention that he did not come here for an ulterior purpose, but simply wanted to inquire about some news about the battle for Spirit Island.

However, he never thought that Qingyunmen, the overlord of this place, would have some thoughts about Zhao Shoushou's arrival, especially when the shopkeeper of Qingyun Pavilion saw him who had been promoted to the fifth floor of the foundation building, he was astonished as a heavenly man.

The structure of the overseas cultivation world is roughly the same as that of the mainland cultivation world. Some sects with ancestors in the Nascent Soul Stage occupying large spiritual islands recruit all the disciples with excellent qualifications.

People with great supernatural powers in the golden core period sit in town, and the sects and families that occupy medium-sized spiritual islands mainly recruit three-spiritual roots and four-spiritual roots.

As for the small sects like Qingyunmen, the choice is quite narrow, as long as they have useful spiritual roots, basically anyone can join and become a part of it. Inner disciple.

As for the three spiritual root disciples who are expected to break through to the foundation stage, they are all cultivated as core disciples with all their strength, and their predicament can be seen from this.
