Practice begins with a fisherman

Muyue Pavilion has been in business for more than a month, but unfortunately, the number of successful transactions is very small, which makes the waiter very depressed, after all, he was also a proud waiter with a good performance at the beginning.

"Zhao needs a low-grade Qi Condensation Pill, may your pavilion provide it?" Zhao Shoushou cut straight to the point.

"First-rank low-grade Condensing Qi Pill? Fellow Daoists, please sit down for a while, and the younger one will go invite the shopkeeper." Xiaoer is very knowledgeable, and the transaction of Condensing Qi Pill is completely out of his scope of authority.

Although the first-order low-grade Condensing Qi Pill is not high-grade, the elixir needed for refining is quite difficult, and it is very precious. If you want to buy it if you have a collection in Muyue Pavilion, it is not enough to rely on spirit stones alone.

"This little friend wants to buy Qi Condensation Pill? Little friend, do you know the value of Qi Condensation Pill?" In Shaoqing, a man with a white round cap and a coat appeared.

"Zhao has met a fellow Taoist, so he understands the preciousness of the Qi Condensation Pill. I wonder if this thing can be used as a stepping stone?" Zhao Shoushou also did not hesitate, and directly handed over the remaining first-order low-grade purple jade green bee royal jelly.

Judging from the breath, although the shopkeeper of Muyue Pavilion is still in the Qi refining stage, Zhao Shoushou has no way to see the depth of his cultivation.

"The first-order low-grade purple jade green bee royal jelly, my friend is very lucky. Muyue Pavilion agreed to this business, plus 130 low-grade spirit stones." After the type, the transaction was successful as expected.

The first-level low-grade Qi Condensation Pill can increase the mana in the dantian by one level within an hour. Breaking through the current bottleneck with mana in the middle stage of Qi training is naturally more effective with half the effort, and can adapt to the new realm in advance.

If enough time can be saved, the medicinal effect of the Qi Condensation Pill can even help to stabilize the new realm, one panacea with two wonderful functions, from which we can see its preciousness.

If it wasn't for the newly opened Muyue Pavilion, which is eager to open up sales and has an urgent need for royal jelly that can increase the success rate of pills, Zhao Shoushou would need to plan carefully if he wants to buy the first-order low-grade Qi Condensation Pill.

"The kindness and righteousness of Muyue Pavilion today, after all, Zhao will keep it in his heart. In the future, if there is a need, Muyue Pavilion will definitely be the first choice." The kindness of dripping water should be repaid by the spring, although it is a fair trade, it is a must for him. repaid kindness.

"Muyue Pavilion and Zhao Xiaoyou are just an exchange of equal value. We are not at a disadvantage. Daoist friends are not taking advantage. If there is new royal jelly in the future, Muyue Pavilion is willing to buy it at a high price and will not let Zhao Xiaoyou suffer." Only then did he understand the real purpose of Muyue Pavilion, to put the long-term Catch big fish.

"In the future, if there is a low-grade purple jade green bee royal jelly, Zhao will definitely come and trade with Muyue Pavilion, and I will leave today." Zhao Shoushou resolutely agreed. For him, it is the same to sell the royal jelly to anyone.

Since Muyue Pavilion is in demand, it's okay to sell it to them on the premise of the same price, not to mention leaving a way to buy precious elixir in the future, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?

However, the first-tier low-grade queen bee in the cave has just been successfully bred, and the current main task is to lay eggs and expand the colony of purple jade green bees. It will take at least a year to brew new royal jelly.

Whether it is long or short, a year may make a lot of difference to a monk in the Qi training period and a newly opened shop, and what will happen after that remains to be determined.

The most important thing is to get the first-level low-grade Qi Condensation Pill. With the help of the Spirit Pill, he is confident that he can break through the bottleneck and advance to the middle stage of Qi training within a month.

There seems to be only a little difference between the third level of Qi training and the fourth level of Qi training, but there is a huge difference in combat power. After being promoted to the fourth level of Qi training, you can easily manipulate two first-level low-grade magic weapons. One attack and one defense are enough to deal with most enemies. Partly dangerous.

Chapter 58

In addition, after being promoted to the fourth level of Qi training, one can begin to comprehend the first-level mid-level spells. Compared with the first-level low-level Fasu, who mainly provides support, the power of the spells has only begun to explode.

Zhao Shoushou has always been obsessed with the talisman making technique, and he can officially try it after he is promoted to the fourth level of Qi training. If he can become a talisman maker, the difficulty of earning spirit stones will be greatly reduced.

Another point is that the female cultivator Bai Bai met by chance at the cormorant lake meeting. After detailed investigation, it was found that the Bai family in Shanxi County was just a small cultivator family that barely maintained. At present, there are only two monks left in the family. .

The head of the patriarch is Bai Bai's great-uncle and grandfather. He is old enough to practice Qi training at the fifth level, and he can support it for three to five years at most. The first-order low-grade spiritual veins that are jointly occupied will definitely be expelled.

Judging from the current cultivation of Baibai's second level of Qi training, there is still a possibility if various resources are abundant, but now the Bai family, which is almost exhausted, obviously cannot provide her with the resources needed for cultivation.

If at this critical moment, Zhao Shoushou was promoted to the fourth level of Qi training and rushed out of thin air to help her guard the old house of the Bai family, it would not be an impossible dream to gain favor and embrace the beauty.

What's more, the camel that died was bigger than a horse. A family of practice has been passed down for hundreds of years, and some invisible accumulations are far beyond what a casual cultivator can compare in a short period of time.

What's more, the Bai family still has three to five acres of first-grade low-grade spiritual fields. The key is that they were once famous in Shanxi County for planting and cultivating elixir, which is in line with his future plans.

No matter from which aspect, he has responsibilities and obligations. If everything goes well, maybe decades later, this place will be the foundation of his rise.

To sum up, after successfully purchasing the first-order low-grade Condensing Qi Pill in Muyue Pavilion, Zhao Shoushou didn't waste any time, and embarked on the journey back to Cormorant Island without stopping. He couldn't wait to attack the bottleneck.

"Uncle Hu, Mountain God, Land God, City God, and all gods are blessed, Zhao Shoushou can succeed in one effort and be promoted to the fourth level of Qi training." Sitting cross-legged near the spirit vein, after a while of muttering, Zhao Shoushou closed his eyes and started to work Sunday.

The first-rank low-grade Qi Condensation Pill is extremely precious and it took a lot of effort to get one. There is absolutely no chance of trial and error. Only when the three of them are guaranteed to be at their peak state and with the greatest confidence will they be given one. Take panacea.

According to the requirements of "Ripple Kungfu", one circle after another, I don't know how many times to run the Great Zhou, and I don't know how long it took, Zhao Shoushou just opened his eyes and followed a flash of light, and only then did he replenish all the consumption. Complete, reaching the peak level of the third level of Qi training.

As the saying goes, everything is ready and everything is ready. You only need to take the last step after taking the next-level low-grade Qi Condensation Pill, and you can become a mid-stage Qi training monk.

It seems that there is only one step between the early stage of Qi training and the middle stage of Qi training, but it is an insurmountable bottleneck for many casual practitioners with low qualifications such as four spirit roots and five spirit roots. chance of success.

It's a pity that time waits for no one. The lifespan of a monk in the Qi refining period is not much. Once it takes too long, it will lead to a slow and slow ending, and the already elusive foundation building will become even more out of reach.

Now that the conditions for all parties have been met, Zhao Shoushou will naturally not continue to hesitate. The first-rank low-grade Qi Condensation Pill melts in the mouth and goes down the throat. However, the effect of the medicine did not explode in the meridians, but went straight to the dantian.

After entering the dantian, the first-order low-grade Qi Condensing Pill spiritual liquid not only did not instantly transform into a large amount of spiritual power as imagined, but instead blended with the original mana in the dantian quietly like moistening things silently.

It took about a cup of tea before I felt the improvement in the quality of the mana. The quantity did not increase, but the concentration and strength continued to improve.

After the effect of the medicine ended, the strength of the mana in the dantian had reached the level of the fourth level of Qi training. Zhao Shoushou could clearly feel that the same amount of mana could burst out double or even triple the energy.

The effect of the first-order low-grade Ningqi Pill can last for an hour, which means that he has no time to waste, and must break through the bottleneck within an hour.

After the effect of the Qi Condensation Pill was fully deployed, Zhao Shoushou used his spiritual consciousness as the guide, and the mana in his dantian as the source, turned it into eighteen kinds of weapons and attacked the solid bottleneck at the same time.

At the last moment when every weapon condensed by mana fails to attack the bottleneck, it will choose to explode under the guidance of spiritual consciousness. The bottleneck is like a solid boulder, but the mana in the dantian is continuously dripping through the stone.

Thanks to Zhao Shoushou's efforts and the continuous consumption of mana, the first crack appeared in the bottleneck half an hour later, which is undoubtedly good news.

The hardest thing about an insurmountable bottleneck and a hard boulder is the beginning stage. When the first crack appears, the collapse is no longer far away.

Of course, this process was not easy for Zhao Shoushou. The aftermath of each mana weapon's self-explosion was also a big test for the weak dantian, and even at the last moment, the corners of his mouth could not restrain the blood from dripping.

"The power of Qi Condensation Pill, the power of Dantian's mana, and the power of the protection of the four gods and gods are combined into one, breaking through the bottleneck is at this moment." Zhao Shoushou only heard a loud shout, and put all his consciousness into Dantian to gather all his strength and prepare to break the boat. Last Stand.

For monks, no matter whether it is a bottleneck at a large level or a small level, every breakthrough is dangerous, and they must go all out to succeed.

If there is a little slack, the breakthrough will fail and be severely injured, and the dantian will be damaged and the road foundation will be damaged, and it is not unheard of for him to go crazy.

Faced with every bottleneck, Zhao Shoushou has always gone all out, no matter whether he succeeds or fails, he will never leave any regrets for himself.

Fortunately, God rewards hard work. From the beginning of the road of practice until now, every effort has been rewarded, and every bottleneck has been successfully broken through. Of course, today is no exception.

Under his continuous efforts, the bottleneck lying between the third and fourth layers of Qi training finally collapsed suddenly Lying in the dantian, motionless.

When the bottleneck collapsed and broke through, a mysterious force suppressed below the bottleneck merged into the dantian, and this force seemed to be a pen of light to trigger a leap in the essence of mana.

The promotion to the fourth level of Qi training is successful, but it takes enough time to stabilize the realm. The magic power that has just broken through is like a tree without roots or water. Only when its foundation is solid and firm can it be regarded as a real fourth-level monk of Qi training. Only then can the combat effectiveness in the middle stage of Qi training be brought into play.

As the saying goes: the bottleneck needs to be broken through, and the realm needs to be nourished. If you want to be happy in the world, you must first work hard, step by step, and the road to immortality is gradually approaching.

Chapter 59 Going to Shanxi County

After half a month of hard work, Zhao Shoushou just opened his eyes. With the help of the remaining medicinal power of the first-order low-grade Condensing Qi Pill, the cultivation base of the fourth level of Qi training finally stabilized.

As a newly promoted qi training fourth-level monk, the most important thing is to get familiar with the new realm as soon as possible and learn the more powerful first-level mid-level spells.

Water attribute spells are not good at attack power. Except for water archery, most of the first-level low-grade spells are auxiliary in nature, mainly to familiarize themselves with the characteristics of water attribute.

It is in line with the truth of "Water benefits all things without fighting", but any attribute skills will not just be a tortoise shell that only takes a beating and does not fight back, or a purely auxiliary property. The first-level mid-level water attribute spells already have good attack power.

The first-level mid-level spells recorded in "Ripple Kungfu" are "Water Snake Art" and "Water Prison Art", and the "Water Scroll" and "Spring Rain Art" recorded in the first-level low-level water attribute encyclopedia. Among the four spells, two are attacking, one is defensive, and one is auxiliary.

The effect of the first-level mid-level water snake technique is similar to that of the first-level mid-level fire bird technique. It is based on water flow and transforms into a water snake under the action of mana, which enhances its attack power, and it does not consume much mana when it is cast. It can be called small input and large output.

The first-level low-grade water scroll technique is another extreme. It uses mana and spiritual consciousness as the basis to control the flow of water within tens of meters to form layers of water whirlwinds. At present, there is only one chance to use the cultivation base of the fourth level of Qi Refining.

The first-level middle-grade water prison technique is an advanced step of the water wall technique. It is one of the few defensive spells among the water attribute spells. Once cast, it can form four walls of water and trap the enemy in it.

The main function of the first-level mid-level spring rain technique is to replenish water for the spiritual field and the elixir garden. The rainwater brought by the spring rain technique contains a certain amount of spiritual power, and it is a necessary spell for the growth of various spiritual flowers and grasses.

There is even a group of people in the huge casual cultivator group dedicated to studying the various tricks of the spring rain technique. When the spiritual fields and elixir gardens need large-scale irrigation, they wait for others to hire them to earn a lot of money.

The spring rain technique is important but because of the spiritual spring in the cave, the spring rain technique is quite useless to Zhao Shoushou, and the practice time can be postponed a little bit.

For his current situation, after repeated comparisons, the first thing he needs to learn is the water snake technique and the water prison technique. Once he successfully comprehends it, it will obviously improve his combat effectiveness.

And compared to the water scroll, which is too lethal and powerful, these two spells are also the most commonly used in the process of fighting against the enemy, and the next target is naturally them.

After being promoted to the fourth level of Qi refining, Zhao Shoushou's next goal is to travel and broaden his horizons while looking for opportunities. Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, which is also applicable to monks.

Since he stepped into the world of self-cultivation, his activities have been wandering between Cormorant Island, Cormorant Lake, Ziyu Mountain, and Xiaokanshanfang City. After a little bit of self-preservation, he is no longer satisfied with his current state.

The first target is naturally Shanxi County, which is not too far away from Xianzhou. There are two main reasons: first, this place is a well-known elixir planting county in Xianzhou; There is Bai Bai, a female nun who met once.

In the mid-stage of advanced qi refining, each level of cultivation requires more and more spiritual power, and the price of the corresponding first-level mid-grade panacea is doubled.

Cormorant County is located in a remote area, and all kinds of cultivation resources are very poor. Simply relying on hunting monsters in the Ziyu Mountains is far from meeting the needs of cultivation, so the trip to Shanxi County is imminent.

Of course, there is a deeper plan in his heart. If he has the opportunity to formally join the declining Bai family, it may be the beginning of a new Zhao family's rise.

Loose cultivators seem to be free and unrestrained, which also means that they are helpless. Even if their corpses are exposed in the wilderness one day, no one will know and pay respects.

Three days later, Zhao Shoushou drove a simple fishing boat with two low-grade first-grade cormorants, and embarked on a journey to Shanxi County leisurely.

After three days of persistent and concentrated practice, the first-level middle-grade water snake technique has been preliminarily mastered, and the first-level middle-grade water prison technique is still lacking, but it is not too difficult to master as long as you practice hard.

The territory of Shanxi County is dominated by mountains and rivers, and the various cultivation resources in the territory are also far more than that of Cormorant County. Zhao Shoushou only needs to follow the river along the river for a day and a night to reach his destination.

Moreover, most of the mountain ranges in Shanxi County have spiritual veins of different grades, and the cultivating families of different sizes occupy the main position here.

Although there are many rivers in Shanxi County, most of them are tributaries, shallow streams, and sparsely populated, which are not enough to support the cultivation of gods. Instead, most of the rivers are occupied by first-tier middle-lower water attribute monsters.

Therefore, going to Shanxi County by waterway will not be smooth sailing, but to him, the threat of these monsters is like spirit stones exuding dazzling aura.

In the process of fighting monsters, maybe the two first-level mid-level spells that have not been comprehended recently will make significant progress. As a water attribute monk, he can erupt the strongest fighting power on the river.

"The Bai family in Shanxi County is located in Qingling Mountain, a low-grade first-grade, less than a hundred kilometers away from the Qingyuan Grand Canyon. It is often threatened by various low-grade monsters and beasts, which is a good thing for Zhao." Waiting to enter Shanxi County Zhao Shoushou in the territory began to ponder.

The Qingyuan Grand Canyon is similar to the Ziyu Mountains, but the terrain here is more complicated, and the number of monsters will be more. The competition between each other will be more cruel, and some weaker first-tier middle-low monsters are often expelled.

The weaker families living here are often attacked by monsters, especially some spiritual fields that are not protected by formations. The mature spiritual rice or elixir that has spent a lot of effort, accidentally sneaked into it at a low price. of monsters.

The cultivation environment in Shanxi County is better, and the resources are a little more abundant, but the battle with monsters is more brutal, and the annual casualty rate of monks far exceeds that in Cormorant County.

As a low-level cultivating family, the Bai family must have been invaded by monsters, otherwise, how could the first-level low-grade Lingshan, which occupies one third, only open up several acres of first-level low-grade spiritual fields?

"What a ferocious crab monster. I think the crab roe in it must be extremely delicious. I'm going to feast on it today." Not long after entering Shanxi County, a domineering crab monster the size of a small millstone waved its powerful pincers towards the fishing boat.

In the middle of the two large pliers, the sharp thorns that are sharper than files are shining, if they are caught by them, the simple fishing boat will surely be torn apart.

However, Zhao Shoushou's face was not the slightest bit nervous. Instead, he stretched out his tongue and licked around his mouth. It seemed that what was showing off its power was not a fierce monster, but a delicacy delivered to his door. Obviously, it was helpful for him to win. Absolutely confident.

Chapter 60 Arriving at Qingling Mountain for the First Time

"Quack quack quack" Before the domineering crab monster showed its viciousness, the two low-rank spirit beast cormorants, which were originally standing on the bow, jumped down into the river resolutely, and blatantly attacked them.

Zhao Shoushou, who has been busy recently, has been leaving two cormorants to guard the cave, and finally got a chance to perform. How can the two clever little guys be willing to lag behind?

Any spirit beast has a combative nature. Facing the provocation of a first-rank low-rank crab demon, it arouses the long-suppressed blood of two first-rank low-rank cormorants.

The first-rank low-grade crab monsters are superior in their rough skin and thick flesh, a layer of hard shell that is difficult to break without strong means, and apart from a pair of crab claws, the most precious thing on their body is the delicious and powerful crab roe.

According to records, the content of spiritual power in a first-level low-grade crab monster crab roe is comparable to two first-level low-grade water yuan pills. The key is that the spiritual power contained in the crab roe can be stored in the body and slowly refined, which is very important for nourishing the body and healing dark wounds have a certain effect.

The effect of crab roe is so good, but it is not sold on the market. The main reason is that after killing the crab monster, it must be taken within two hours. Once the time limit is exceeded, it will not only have no effect but will be poisoned.

Therefore, no matter whether it is a first-level crab monster or a second-level monster whose supernatural power is comparable to that of a monk in the foundation-building period, there is no change in this point, and it can only be taken within an hour of killing the monster.

The two first-rank low-grade cormorants flew back and forth in the water, and the first-rank low-grade water archery and ice archery slammed the shell of the crab monster, but it was a pity that there was no substantial damage.

On the contrary, it is the occasional counterattack of the crab monster, whether it is the crab claw or the first-level low-level water bubble of the talent spell, every time it can make them restrain their hands and make the good situation that they have finally achieved instantly reversed.

"Although the cormorant has evolved, it is a pity that it is restricted by its body, and its combat power is always limited. It cannot be used to determine the outcome of a battle. After all, it can only be used as an auxiliary." After about a quarter of an hour, Zhao Shoushou sighed and prepared to end the battle in person.

After a while of low-pitched incantations, he waved his hands towards the river. The originally calm river seemed to be summoned inexplicably. After a burst of irregular twisting, six transparent and lively water snakes made of river water swirled out.

"Go..." Zhao Shoushou gave the first order in a deep voice. The six water snakes turned their heads and turned around, as if they were judging something. Soon, a pair of triangular snake eyes stared at the first-rank low-grade crab monster, and their tails swayed from side to side. A dodge had already merged into the river water, and it was the relatively soft belly of the crab monster that reappeared.

Now that he had already taken action to end the battle himself, Zhao Shoushou naturally went all out, followed by a swaying water monster that was also composed of river water.

Whether it is a water snake or a water monster, they can only play a role in entanglement. They are the same as the two cormorants, and their attack power is still not strong enough.

Under the joint attack of cormorants, water snakes, and water monsters, although the crab monsters have not been defeated, they are also very happy in the fight between you and me. It is hard to beat four hands with two fists, and a hero can't stand many people.

Even though he tried his best to resist and even counterattacked occasionally, the water snake returned to its original shape and turned into a wisp of clear water, but one accidentally was pushed upside down by two cormorants that suddenly appeared from the bottom of the river, and it was difficult to move for a while.

If it only takes a little time to recover on weekdays, but it becomes a fatal flaw at the critical moment of the battle, especially the white and tender belly of the crab monster is still an obvious weakness.

How could Zhao Shoushou, who had fought against all kinds of first-tier low-grade monsters no less than fifty times in the Purple Jade Mountains, miss such a good opportunity?The first-order quality control water fork already in his hand attacked steadily and relentlessly.

It was like a snow-white water chain flashing past, and when it reappeared, it was already stabbing hard on the white and tender belly of the first-rank low-grade crab monster, trembling from side to side.

The first-rank low-grade crab monster that was originally showing off its might has become a ghost under the fork, and only the occasional fluctuations from the crab legs and claws are left to prove its existence and strength.

Perhaps this low-rank crab monster has never understood, it was just hunting as usual, why did it suffer a fatal disaster?

"A pair of large pliers is just used as the basis of a low-grade magic weapon. At least three or five pieces of low-grade spirit stones can be exchanged. Let someone have a good meal today and taste the taste of crab roe." Down into the storage bag.

Zhao Shoushou, who always regarded himself as calm, couldn't wait to open the crab shell. In the middle of the crab monster's body, a piece of crab roe about half the size of a fist exuding a strange fragrance appeared in front of his eyes.

Crab monsters are different from other kinds of monsters. More than one-third of the essence of the whole body is concentrated on this small piece of crab roe, which shows its preciousness.

When the crab roe enters the mouth, you can only feel the strong fragrance filling the mouth and nose. Its unique flavor makes people feel as if they are ascending to immortality. After entering the throat, they feel relaxed all over the body. The key point is that the crab roe did not disappear immediately, but instead provided energy continuously.
