Practice begins with a fisherman

He hasn't shown up for more than ten years, but the monks can be quite sure that he is still alive, and it is very likely that he is working hard to advance to the late foundation establishment stage.

A second-tier mid-level spirit island that may have late-stage foundation-building monks in the near future is obviously as stable as Mount Tai, and no monks of the same level will be easily provoked.

"The recruitment of alchemists and formation masters has not made any progress. A few years ago, there was an old acquaintance who knew a little about the way of alchemy. He made a living by refining some low-level alchemy on the spiritual island not far away. I'm going to sign and go to invite, fellow Daoist Fu just need to guard the door during this period." Zhao Baihua in the hall of the island lord's mansion tirelessly instructed in detail.

"Although the little girl's cultivation level is inferior, there is no problem in using it to guard the door. Don't worry, fellow Taoists. If you can invite an alchemist to come, you have never failed the trust of the island owner," said Fairy Shuixiu When he was here, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

When the two monks were talking in the hall, Zhao Shoushou, who was in retreat, was undergoing a big test. After ten years, with his unremitting efforts, there was only a small hole about the thickness and length of a thumb. , at this time has gone deep into the mountainside.

The only thing that has not changed is that the width has not increased by half, but as it continues to deepen, the position in the middle of the bottleneck becomes more and more rigid.

The little bit of progress that could be felt in every attack originally disappeared completely here, and his efforts were like useless efforts without any results.

In fact, this is also the only way in the process of trying to break through the bottleneck. If you can overcome the victory, you will naturally beckon from afar. Otherwise, you will naturally only face failure.

"This bottleneck is really like a big mountain. The closer it is to the center, the more indestructible the stone will be. Once it is washed down, it will be smooth sailing. Isn't it time to use external force?" The eyes that had been closed all the time suddenly opened, and a ray of light flashed across. Its target was the two neatly placed spirit grasses on the ground.

Whether it was the Enlightening Spirit Grass or the Auspicious Cloud Seven Star Grass, they were his only two spiritual grasses that could play a certain role in assisting the bottleneck in front of him.

Therefore, in the past ten years of practice, no matter how many difficulties I faced, I have never taken it. What I am waiting for is the opportunity now.

These two kinds of spiritual herbs are quite rare in the outside world. Zhao Shoushou has been in the cultivation world for many years, and he has never seen them in large or small markets or auctions.

The effect of the elixir is only obtained from the jade slips. The specific effect of the elixir is still vague and difficult to figure out. I can only slowly explore it from the process of taking the elixir.

Chapter 394 – Building the Seventh Floor of the Foundation

This is also the biggest disadvantage of casual cultivators compared with sects and family disciples. Everything needs to be explored slowly from the beginning, and the price that needs to be paid is indescribable in words.

It can be said that every step forward for a casual cultivator needs to consume a lot of time and energy, and it is difficult for each elixir to fully exert its effect in the first refining process, and some waste is inevitable .

For Zhao Shoushou, he had the same problem and trouble. Whether it was Qilingcao or Xiangyun Qixingcao, it was the first time he took it. So a state of nature.

The most important thing for him now is to reduce the loss of its efficacy as little as possible in the process of taking the elixir, so that it can exert its strongest power above the current bottleneck and achieve the best effect.

Comparing the two elixirs, the Enlightenment Grass is more effective, and it will not be used until the last moment. At present, the only one that can be refined is the Auspicious Cloud Seven Star Grass whose effect is unknown.

The growth of this special spiritual grass is mainly by pulling the light of the stars emitted by the Big Dipper. After taking it, the monk also uses the help of this star power to break through the bottleneck and improve his cultivation.

The power of the stars contained in the Xiangyun Seven Star Grass is quite strong, in addition to assisting in cultivation, it will also strengthen the body to a certain extent.

The second function is also quite rare. After all, with the improvement of cultivation, the role played by the body will become more and more important. It is like a bucket. Only by continuously increasing its strength and volume can it be possible to hold more water. A lot of water.

According to the information that Zhao Shoushou gathered from some jade slips, the process of congealing the golden core is a considerable test for the strength of the monk's body.

Some natural and earthly treasures that help to increase the strength of the body are also indispensable treasures in the process of condensing the golden core, especially for monks who have not paid attention to improving the strength of the body in the previous practice process, it is an insurmountable threshold.

However, this is good news for Zhao Shoushou. Although he is just a casual cultivator with no foundation, in order to improve his explosive power in battle, he has always attached great importance to his physical body.

If adding the strengthening of the Xiangyun Seven Star Grass this time, relying on physical strength alone, it must be among the best existences in the same level.

"I hope I can help someone to break the bottleneck in front of me and advance to the seventh floor of foundation building as soon as possible. At this point, I can only succeed and not fail." Before taking the elixir, he couldn't help cheering himself up and comforting himself.

The Xiangyun Seven Star Grass is about an inch long, with seven leaves that emit a bright blue light, and seven star-shaped bodies corresponding to the Big Dipper, which look quite mysterious.

The spirit grass melts in the mouth, and one can feel a stream of warm power flowing down the throat, most of it enters the dantian, and a small part dissipates in the body.

This kind of dissipation is not a real disappearance. Although no trace of its existence can be found, it can still feel the existence of strengthening effect. Some dark wounds that have not been repaired are also recovering a little bit at this time, and you can even clearly feel the physical strength. enhancement.

After most of the power of Xiangyun Seven Star Grass has been integrated into the dantian, a layer of blue light suddenly appears on the originally turbulent mana sea. Occasionally, a trace of starlight can be found, adding a mysterious brilliance.

And after the incorporation of this special star power, the sea of ​​mana that had been shaking, suddenly calmed down, and a new round of power was brewing.

It's like a fist that is accumulating power, if it doesn't come out, it will be gone, as long as it is shot, there will be lightning and thunder, hitting the vital point, and it will be successful once.

"Auspicious Cloud Seven Star Grass, Big Dipper Seven Star Light, Edict" I don't know how long it took. After sensing the awakening of the power in the dantian, I only heard a loud shout. The new power after the fusion of the two is like an arrow that leaves the string, It turned into a steady stream of arrows and entered the bottleneck that had fallen into a dilemma.

As the saying goes, everything in the world is restrained, and this sentence is also applicable to the large and small bottlenecks that monks face in the process of cultivation. The seemingly indestructible mountains will be weakened in an instant under the influence of the power of the stars.

When the mana contained in the power of the Lucky Seven Star Grass came into contact with the bottleneck, the bottleneck that hadn't been loosened for a long time was like encountering a nemesis, realizing the rapid transformation from solid rock to tofu.

The cave, which was only as thick as a thumb, quickly melted away visible to the naked eye, and extended to the depths of this mountain-like bottleneck.

Of course, the seemingly easy breakthrough is also a big test for monks. In the process of constantly breaking through the bottleneck, the consumption of mana and consciousness is also quite fast.

According to current predictions, the power of a whole auspicious cloud seven-star grass can only last for half a cup of tea at most, and the fluorescent blue star power in the dantian is disappearing with an attitude visible to the naked eye.

Another point to note is that after the power of the stars is exhausted, the counterattack from the bottleneck also needs to accumulate strength in advance to resist.

In the process of breaking through the bottleneck, the faster the speed of advancement, the stronger the backlash will be. There is a special proportional relationship between the two parties.

If a monk can't block the force of the counterattack, all previous efforts will be in vain, and they will all recover in an instant, so this is a place where the slightest mistake is not allowed.

The time for half a cup of tea is only fleeting, but the results obtained at this time are quite considerable, and the bottleneck that was originally stalemate and difficult to advance has advanced by more than half.

In the late stage of backlash, under Zhao Shoushou's steady persistence, even if he lost a little bit, he could still guarantee most of the fruits of victory.

The remaining part of the bottleneck still adopts the previous strategy, taking the trouble to break through the enemy's strongest fortress little by little, as long as there is enough time, it can be completed.

As for the final and strongest point, it is naturally assisted by the spirit-enlightening grass. Zhao Shoushou firmly believes that the final victory can be achieved.

This retreat is an attempt to break through the bottleneck and advance to the late stage of Foundation Establishment. Although every step forward is difficult, it is generally a little bit forward. Up to now, it can be confirmed that the probability of success is more than [-]%.

For a monk, this is already a very high possibility worth fighting for. How could he give up so easily?

The sun sets and the moon rises, the day alternates, spring goes and autumn comes, the whole Hululing Island has been in a process of steady development, without any interruption by any force in the middle, a thriving development trend.

Until another day ten years later, a vortex suddenly rose in the direction of the island lord's mansion, and the concentration of the surrounding spiritual power dropped rapidly, continuously condensed around the vortex, and disappeared into the cave, like a big monster inside Never getting enough to eat, greedily devouring any aura floating in the air that might exist around.

"The island guard patrol team gathers, with the island owner's mansion as the center, within a radius of [-] meters, no monks are allowed to gather"

Chapter 395 The deterrent power of monks in the late stage of foundation establishment

"The Lord's Mansion of Hululing Island is under martial law. Fellow Daoists, please return to your respective caves and shops quickly. Anyone who insists on wandering outside will be regarded as a provocation against Hululing Island."

The vice-island owner Zhao Baihua and the elder Fu Yuehua who passed on the practice only hesitated a little at the moment when the vision appeared. After they understood what happened, they took resolute and decisive measures.

After a cup of tea, the patrol team of more than a hundred monks in the middle and late stages of qi refining had assembled, and they surrounded the Island Lord's Mansion like an iron bucket as if facing a formidable enemy.

After a stick of incense, two foundation-building stage monks, two cormorants, and a hundred-flower snake appeared one after another, ready to fight, and if there was a slight change at this time, they remained in a state of being ready to attack at any time.

A quarter of an hour later, on the originally bustling and bustling Spirit Island, all the monks had disappeared and returned to their caves or shops.

Of course, although people disappear, some guesses and temptations are bound to exist, especially some shops near the island lord's mansion are overcrowded, and they are all staring at every move here, and even some monks use their spiritual sense to investigate. Exploring, hoping to gain something in the process.

The sudden change in the island owner's mansion must be closely related to the mysterious island owner who has been in seclusion for many years. After careful consideration, it must have made certain progress and results, and there is only one last step left before success.

As we all know, when Zhao Shoushou, the owner of Hululing Island, appeared in front of everyone a long time ago, he was already at the sixth level of foundation building. Basal stage.

As long as a monk in the late stage of foundation establishment does not have various problems in the middle and leads to his fall, it is enough to ensure the prosperity of a small family or sect.

The monks in the late stage of foundation establishment don't sound high, but under normal circumstances, the ancestors of the Jindan stage would not make a move easily, and their main energy was placed on pursuing higher cultivation bases.

Therefore, a monk in the late stage of foundation establishment can deter most of the monks under normal circumstances, even some famous monks must maintain a certain degree of respect.

This point can be clearly understood from the insurmountable bottleneck between the middle stage of foundation establishment and the late stage of foundation establishment. Every monk who can break through to the late stage of foundation establishment is qualified to charge towards the Golden Core Magical Artifact.

"If the breakthrough is successful, there will be another late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator sitting in Inner Sea. Congratulations."

"It's just a small celestial phenomenon, and there is still one step away from success, and the most dangerous moment has not yet begun"

"Whether there is one more late-stage foundation-building monk, whether it is good or bad depends on the character of this monk."

The monks present were constantly arguing. The monks belonging to Hulu Lingdao were all serious and ready to fight, especially the two foundation-building stage monks. Of course, there was a smile in the corner of their eyes that was hard to hide.

No matter how the monks outside behaved, Zhao Shoushou, who was retreating at this time, had reached the most dangerous moment as he said before.

After years of unremitting efforts, a thumb-thick hole has appeared in the center of this mountain, and only the last point is about to be completely transparent.

It is the last point, every time he tries to make contact with mana, there is always a strange wind appearing at the right time, and the mana has been exhausted before contact.

This wind has a special cold power. Whenever this special power dissipates mana, it will start to erode the monk's body.

It can be said that this is a triple test of mana, body, and spirit. If the bottleneck cannot be broken as soon as possible, the damage to the foundation of cultivation will be irreparable.

"There must be a way to restrain this yin and cold force. It's a pity that Mr. Zhao didn't expect such a sudden change. This time he forced himself into a corner. I hope that the Spirit Enlightenment Grass can help me." Head Zhao Shoushou, who had already begun to show the slightest bit of frost, murmured in a low voice.

In fact, this can't blame him for being reckless or unprepared. This kind of thing will only spread among some special small circles. As mentioned above, the only person that casual cultivators can rely on is themselves.

Of course, if one can step out of these mountains and hills of hardships and hardships step by step, one can definitely achieve great results, and there is no problem in overwhelming monks of the same level.

At the last moment, Zhao Shoushou naturally wouldn't continue to hesitate, and decisively stuffed the Spirit Enlightenment Grass that had been kept by his hand into his mouth.

The spirit-enlightening grass is completely different from the auspicious cloud seven-star grass that I ate before. What is hidden in it is a strong and violent spiritual power. As the saying goes, a small body hides a lot of energy.

The cultivators used the violent spiritual power of the Enlightenment Grass to destroy this cold force from the front. However, it is not easy to control this energy.

When this violent spiritual power entered the dantian, it was just a big rotation, which had already stirred up the originally calm spiritual power in the dantian, and then rushed towards the bottleneck with overwhelming energy carrying huge energy.

This process is also a rather severe test for Zhao Shoushou. Once he loses control, he must be the first to suffer.

In the process of spiritual power rushing towards the bottleneck along the meridians, a little bit of blood dripped from his nostrils, mouth, and ears, and he really killed a thousand enemies and lost eight hundred.

"If you don't break this time, when will you wait? Building the seventh floor of the foundation, order" Zhao Shoushou yelled loudly, and at the same time a powerful suction came from the outside of his body, instantly consuming all the spiritual power gathered in the cave around him, and again extended to the periphery.

Since Zhao Shoushou paid such a high price, the results obtained are naturally not cheap. When this brute force rushes forward regardless of everything, it is naturally difficult to resist the rather stubborn cold force. The confrontation between them was only in the blink of an eye, and it was soon crushed by the momentum of destruction.

When this hole, which is only as thick as a thumb, completely pierces through the bottleneck like a mountain, it is like entering another brand new world in an instant, and the situation in front of you suddenly opens up.

At the same time, the magic power in the dantian surged out, swarming forward along the thin hole, and in the process, it continued to expand the diameter of the hole. As the saying goes, a thousand miles of strength is destroyed by an ant's nest, and the current situation is actually the same The same reason.

I don't know how long it took, under the back and forth washing of the mana, the bottleneck like a mountain collapsed, and mysterious forces continued to merge into the mana.

So far, the 25-year-long retreat has finally achieved its ultimate goal. A monk in the late stage of foundation establishment officially appeared on the stage of the overseas cultivation world.

Of course, he can't leave the level right away. It also takes a lot of time to stabilize his cultivation base. At this time, he will not be stingy with some panacea. The power to stabilize the cultivation base as soon as possible.

Chapter 396 Late Foundation Establishment - A Special Small Circle

Although Zengyuan Dan is only an entry-level panacea with the lowest refining difficulty among the second-order high-grade panacea and requires relatively few raw materials, all of this is based on the comparison with the panacea of ​​the same level.

After taking a panacea, I can only feel a torrent rising in my stomach, but it is obviously different from ordinary spiritual power. Whether it is the purity of spiritual power or the ease of refining, it is far superior to what I have taken before. of various panaceas.

Whenever a big cycle is completed, a large amount of spiritual power will be automatically integrated into it, becoming a component with only a thin layer of mana left in the dantian.

The cultivation base that was slightly shaky at first has become more and more stable under a large amount of supplements. At this time, it can be regarded as a real late-stage foundation-building monk, and there will be no accidents again.

Zhao Shoushou's remaining task was to refine a large amount of spiritual power to replenish the consumption in his dantian. With the improvement of his cultivation, the demand for spiritual power almost doubled.

According to the current preliminary estimate, even with the assistance of Zeng Yuandan, it will take at least three months to stabilize the cultivation of the seventh floor of the foundation.

In fact, every time the cultivation base is improved, the space in the monk's dantian will not increase in the slightest, what is actually increased is the concentration of mana.

This point made a qualitative leap after being promoted to the seventh level of foundation building. After being blessed by the mysterious power in the bottleneck, every drop of liquid mana became quite thick, only one step away from solid.

When the concentration of these magic powers can't be increased, it is the real peak of the ninth level of foundation building, and it is officially qualified to attack the golden core.

Zhao Shoushou practiced steadily in the retreat room, but the outside of the island lord's mansion was filled with hustle and bustle. As time passed, and with the news that he had successfully promoted to the seventh floor of the Foundation Establishment, the number of monks who came here continued to flow.

Most of them are casual cultivators, mainly in the late stage of Qi refining, and their only purpose is to try to become a member of the spirit island. Occasionally, a casual cultivator in the early stage of foundation establishment is also in contact with Zhao Baihua and Fu Yuehua, hoping to be able to Join Lingdao in an attempt to get better protection.

Of course, most of them are still watching the excitement. In addition, they come to the more complete variety of squares to buy some resources needed for cultivation.

However, some sects and families with really good foundations will naturally not appear, and the appearance of a monk in the late stage of foundation establishment will not have much influence and attention on them.

That is to say, those who pay attention to him are mainly some casual cultivators and newly emerging small sects and families.

"I don't know when the island owner will leave the customs? We are destined to not be qualified to handle these visiting letters." When the deputy island owner Zhao Baihua said this, he couldn't help feeling a little lonely.

As a monk who originally had a good future, how can he easily let go of an injury that almost cut off all his future in the process of rapidly improving his cultivation?

Although I have received a lot of healing elixir in Hululing Island these years, the injuries that have been delayed for many years have begun to heal little by little, but unfortunately the treasures of heaven, materials and earth used to restore the original source are hard to tame in a thousand years, and they have never been seen. This is also one of the reasons why Zhao Baihua's mood is always relatively low.

At this point, she couldn't even compare with Fu Yuehua, the Water Sleeve Fairy who only had five spiritual roots. No matter how poor her aptitude was, with enough dedication and hard work, there would always be some gains.

From the first floor of the foundation building to the second floor of the foundation building is not the most powerful performance. Although it is only a small level of improvement, there is not much difference in actual combat effectiveness, and the spiritual encouragement for monks is unparalleled.

Even for monks with five spiritual roots, in principle, as long as they have enough resources and opportunities, as long as they advance step by step, there is a certain chance of being promoted to the late stage of foundation establishment.

"Brother Zhao must not be discouraged, as long as there are enough opportunities in the future, it might not be impossible to recover," Fu Yuehua said pointedly.

"It's just a feeling for a while. Although the road of practice is difficult, you will not give up easily. You should take the island master as your goal." The last sentence came from the heart.

The difficulties faced by the same casual cultivators along the way are actually similar. In terms of pure aptitude, they are even stronger, but the current situation of the two is very different.

In addition to some bad luck, as an experienced monk, how could he not understand the gap?Instead of lamenting and complaining, it is better to work harder now. With the help of a powerful monk in the future, it may not be impossible to recover one day.

The impact of negative emotions was only fleeting, and then his eyes were focused on the three invitations in front of him. Before that, he had never heard of the existence of many small groups in the overseas cultivation world.

The only threshold for these small groups is the cultivation base of the seventh floor of foundation building. Only monks in the late stage of foundation building are eligible to contact. This is also their own small circle, and it is quite exclusive.

Before the cultivation base has reached the requirements, even if one has a great background or has some self-esteemed skills such as alchemy, weapon refining, formation, etc., it will not be able to play any role.
