Practice begins with a fisherman

The distance between the two was not long at first, but under the full impact of mana, it can be said to disappear instantly, and the face-to-face collision came quite quickly.

When the mana mixed with the blood essence of Tianma collided with the radiant golden gate, the sound that should have existed disappeared without a trace.

Chapter 491

This kind of scene is like two spirit weapons that are approaching with all their strength to decide the outcome. When they officially contact and collide, everything that should exist is instantly wiped out.

However, although the voice disappeared, the confrontation between the two sides was real, and even Zhao Shoushou could clearly perceive the mutual confrontation between the two sides.

Generally speaking, Jinmen has a certain advantage in this process. Even after the double blessing of Tianma's blood essence, the mana is still slightly inferior in essence.

Whenever a little power in the golden gate disappears, at least three points of mana need to be consumed, which is equivalent to a ratio of one to three.

Fortunately, Zhao Shoushou had prepared in advance, and the mana in Dantian would be safe in a short period of time. On the contrary, the power of the Golden Gate is always limited. If everything goes well, the possibility of breaking through the Golden Gate is very high.

"Boom boom boom boom" But everything obviously won't proceed step by step. As the first threshold to advance to Jindan, how can it really only be passively beaten?

When Mana confronted Jinmen for about a quarter of an hour, strange and regular sounds and undetectable vibrations came out again from the originally peaceful Jinmen.

Zhao Shoushou didn't take it seriously at the beginning, but as the sound and vibration intensified, he could clearly feel that the meridians in his body were also vibrating accordingly.

Moreover, these vibrations that originally had no effect on the monk's opening of the golden gate were actually trying to interrupt the mana from the continuous support in the dantian, and the continuous support became intermittent and intermittent, which made him feel like Feelings of weakness.

The vibration of the golden gate was a blow to the monks. Li Ling of the golden gate itself did not strengthen or weaken in the slightest, but brought an inexplicable sense of weakness to the monks. Compared with the two, it made the original clear. A feeling of invincibility sprouted in the heart of the monk.

What's more, as the first threshold to hit the golden core, the means are naturally more than that. With the explosion of the vibration, the golden light burst out also began to produce a corrosive force, and Zhao Shoushou could clearly perceive the blocking of mana. and physical damage.

Zhao Shoushou didn't realize wrongly. Apart from resisting the invasion of mana, the golden light also did real damage to the physical body. This was also another test for the monks.

As mentioned above, condensing the golden core is not a simple and independent thing, it is almost a complete test for the monks, there is no doubt about it.

Only when a monk's magic power, physical body, and spiritual consciousness are all at the peak state, can it be possible to break through many obstacles and continue to take a step forward, and taste all the wonderful things after condensing the golden core.

Although Zhao Shoushou, as a casual cultivator, did not have the careful teaching of some elders, he was not too clear about some small positions in the process of condensing the golden core.

However, before that, they tried their best to collect relevant news and materials, and they were quite clear about some basic relevant information that was widely circulated in the cultivation world.

Naturally, Jinmen's counterattack had been expected, but the only thing he didn't expect was the strength of the counterattack. Naturally, the best way to deal with this situation was to immediately take the second auxiliary elixir.

Under the circumstance that the number of elixir was limited, he could only find another strategy. Although Zhao Shoushou had a flustered look on his face, a firm light flashed in his eyes, and he forcibly tried to deal with the discomfort caused by the vibration of the Golden Gate. Suppression, dredging the meridians, and ensuring the stable output of the power in the dantian.

These vibrations have a certain impact on the monk's meridians, but they are always things outside the body. As long as the monk can stabilize his mind, there will be no problem in ensuring the stable support of mana.

As for the corrosive power transmitted from the golden light, Zhao Shoushou could only forcibly endure the torture both mentally and physically, and he didn't have a good coping strategy.

He has absolute confidence in the strength of the physical body. He firmly believes that this weak corrosive force will not cause too much damage. As for some small pains, they are arranged in the follow-up position. For monks, to endure pain Has become an instinctive existence.

This kind of mutual confrontation and attrition is a comprehensive comparison of the original power. This point is obviously sufficient for the monks who have the support of spirit veins and spirit pills. Therefore, when this confrontation lasts for more than half a year, Zhao Shoushou has firmly gained the upper hand.

The mana that could only be consumed and confronted with the golden light emitted by the golden gate finally reached the real golden gate and began a real collision. At this time, the small amount of blood essence of Tianma was almost exhausted, and the mana in the dantian returned to calm , the power it carried naturally returned to normal levels.

If it is simply to compare the consumption of mana, relying on its weak strength to attack the Golden Gate, not to mention that it will take too much time, the possibility of success is also very small.

The most taboo thing to hit the first threshold is to consume too much time and energy. At this time, what is needed is to work hard, and Zhao Shoushou is naturally well versed in the truth.

The body cleansing elixir exchanged for [-] points was decisively taken out, but this elixir was not to be taken orally, it needed to be spread evenly on the monk's body.

There are three effects. First, it can stimulate the potential of the monks. Second, it can expel the toxins in the monks. Third, naturally and most importantly, it can form a special force in the monks to help them break the bottleneck.

However, the cleansing liquid is not without any side effects. When it is evenly applied on the skin, a piercing pain will come from the outside to the inside, as if tens of thousands of ants invaded the bone marrow at the same time. pain.

Even if he is mentally prepared, he is confident about the painful torture. When it really comes, this kind of pain almost interrupts his practice.

This is also the most obvious difference between casual cultivators and sect cultivators. Martial cultivators will do some preparations in advance for this elixir with special side effects.

For example, taking some special elixir that can relieve the monk's pain in advance, or preparing some spiritual liquid in advance for neutralization, in short, there are various methods.

Only stunned Qingfang like Zhao Shoushou would rashly apply it evenly all over his body according to the method of use without any preparation.

At this moment, he seemed to be transformed into a boiled prawn. His body, which was originally sitting cross-legged, had turned into a special bending angle, and his whole body was red. Under the effect of the medicine, the temperature was extremely high. , bursts of white water vapor evaporated.

Efforts and gains are equal. Since Zhao Shoushou was able to forcibly persevere under such painful torture, the gains will naturally be considerable. The body cleansing liquid that has not been neutralized has turned into an irresistible torrent before the Golden Gate. It exploded.

This bottleneck, which was originally difficult to shake, disappeared without a trace in an instant like meeting a natural nemesis. After that, the essence accumulated by the monks for many years was smoothly integrated into the dantian.

Chapter 492

So far, the first threshold in front of Zhao Shoushou has been successfully broken. With the supplement of essence, the mana that was consumed in the battle has not only been fully recovered without any weakening, but the quality has also been significantly enhanced.

This point can be clearly understood through the difference in the sound of the meridians flowing in the dantian. With such a difficult threshold, the harvest after breaking through is naturally more than this.

The treasure hidden behind the golden gate, apart from the essence of the dantian transformed into spiritual power, also has a trace of special ambiguous energy, which represents the spiritual consciousness.

In addition to the improvement of mana, spiritual knowledge is also an indispensable component for a monk to go from foundation establishment to golden core, and this is also the second bottleneck he needs to face and overcome.

Whether it is the Qi refining period or the Foundation building period, the spiritual consciousness of a monk is basically stored in the dantian in the form of wisps of mist between nothingness and reality.

Before formally condensing the golden core, it is necessary to find a new place for them to live in, which is also the foundation for the development and growth of spiritual knowledge in the process of practice in the future.

Cultivators have three dantians, upper, middle and lower. The lower dantian is where monks store mana. Although the middle dantian exists, its location is quite mysterious. Only some special skills can be passed on to open it. The effect is basically the same. The backup of the dantian in the order can also be used to store mana.

It's a pity that in the world of comprehension, there are too few exercises marked with the location of the middle dantian and the method of opening it, and naturally there are not many that can be used.

The upper dantian is located in the center of the brain, surrounded by layers of tiny nerves and acupoints, it is quite difficult to open up, but it is also the only way to condense the golden core.

It can be said that the growth of a monk's spiritual knowledge during the Qi refining period and the foundation building period is very passive, and basically increases with the improvement of the cultivation level.

After the golden elixir is successfully condensed, among all the inherited exercises, there will basically be an oral formula specially used to practice and exercise the spiritual consciousness. At this time, the role of the upper dantian will be revealed. Knowledge and mana are equally important existences, and they must always be guaranteed to move forward.

After all, the last step of breaking the elixir into an infant is the fusion of the golden elixir and the spiritual consciousness. If the difference between the two is too far, it is impossible for the monk to be promoted to the Nascent Soul.

If the first step to hit the golden gate requires a violent mana with infinite destructive power, the second part requires enough patience and endurance to open up the upper dantian, which is also the most difficult step before condensing the golden core.

Once some uncontrollable problems occur during the development process, there is almost no room for repairing the damage to the monks, and most of the injured monks basically appeared during this process.

It can be said that the process of opening up the upper dantian was also the place where the monks had the highest casualty rate. How could Zhao Shoushou not have the slightest nervousness and doubts.

The lotus pods that were just picked after hunting and killing the black flood dragon with all their strength should have exerted their own effects in the process.

As long as the upper dantian is successfully opened, all the spiritual consciousness will enter it at one time, and almost at the same time, the mana will also increase, and the transformation from liquid to solid will begin.

From this moment on, the road to the golden elixir will be truly opened, and the movement of monks breaking through will become more and more obvious, and even cause some obvious changes in the celestial phenomena.

There are a total of twelve mature lotus seeds in the lotus pod, only one of which has the effect of defying the sky, and it is quite easy to distinguish, it is as conspicuous as standing out from the crowd.

He took it out casually and crushed it between his lips and teeth. A special fragrance filled the monk's entire mouth. The feeling of ecstasy.

The spiritual power contained in this lotus seed from Birihe is completely different from the previous Tianma blood essence and cleansing liquid. Except for a small amount of spiritual power that has been refined into the dantian through the meridians, most of it Directly flowing upstream along the mouth, from some acupoints and meridians that he didn't know, they turned into dots and merged into the whole head, and then condensed around the upper dantian.

Although there is some consumption in this process, it is better for the monks that it is very safe, which is also the preciousness of the Birihe lotus pod.

Of course, Zhao Shoushou would not put all his hopes on the assistance of the elixir. The mana in his dantian had been restored to its original mana after being tamped with essence, and turned into a long silk thread. According to the records in "Congealing Water Jue", Go upstream along some small meridians.

There are almost countless large and small meridians that need to be opened up from the lower dantian to the upper dantian. During this process, one must be careful and avoid any accidents or flaws.

Especially the precise control of mana requires enough patience and caution, if there is a slight change in the middle, it is likely to cause damage to these small meridians.

Under Zhao Shoushou's control, wisps of mana didn't care about his own consumption, trying to unblock the already blocked spiritual veins and acupuncture points bit by bit, and some pain was inevitable in the process.

However, Zhao Shoushou didn't care at all after passing the test of the cleansing liquid, and his ability to withstand it increased greatly. He put almost all his energy on the control of mana.

It takes at least ten years for a monk from the beginning of retreat to the real success of condensing the golden core, and the process of opening up the upper dantian takes up two-thirds of it, which shows the difficulty.

Alternating day and night, spring and autumn come, and in the blink of an eye, 20 years have passed since its retreat. A lot of dust has fallen from the cave that was originally opened on the stone wall of the river, and dense layers of moss are growing freely. Occasionally, monks pass by, and it is difficult to find a monk who is practicing in seclusion here.

This quiet time has not changed until the last few years. The originally turbulent river has not been widened, and the water flow has become gentler. Occasionally, there will be an inexplicable light flashing in the river. , like a subtle change, unnoticed but real.

Zhao Shoushou in the cave still hasn't opened the upper dantian at this time, but most of the blocked meridians and acupoints have been unimpeded, leaving only the last level to enter.

The second and most critical step to open it and condense the golden core is about to be completed, but looking at the densely packed meridians here, he is at a loss, and he dare not act rashly before he can distinguish the relationship among them.

It is precisely because of some meridians opened up in the previous efforts that some external changes can be caused, which is also a prerequisite for Xiaotianxiang.

If some Jindan stage monks passed through this place, they would definitely find some doubts in it.

Chapter 493

It is a pity that even after nearly 20 years of scrambling, this treasure island with a large area, excellent comprehensive conditions, and many mineral veins still has no final owner.

According to common sense, although the condition of this spiritual island is good, it is not the best in the overseas comprehension world. Unfortunately, when various competitions are about to be settled, a high-grade spiritual vein that suddenly appeared disrupted the situation. All plans.

The top-grade spirit veins can stably produce top-grade spirit stones, and there are so many interests involved that it makes all the sects jealous, even the Spirit Island Alliance, which has a big business, is unwilling to give up.

What's more, in the following years, more than ten different types of mineral veins were excavated intermittently, and the ultimate ownership of this spiritual island has become an unresolved problem.

The various sects and the Spirit Island Alliance dispatched monks of different cultivation levels to be responsible for the protection of the Spirit Island according to their respective proportions.

It is precisely because of the entanglement of interests that the range controlled by the formation on this spiritual island is limited to some core mine veins. The place where Zhao Shoushou retreats is relatively remote. Except for some foundation-building monks who are routinely patrolling, there is no one there. Too much attention from other monks.

It was precisely because of this that Zhao Shoushou was able to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and concentrate on retreating here. Otherwise, once the competition ended and the sect settled in, how could he allow a casual cultivator to retreat here?

From this aspect, the current chaotic situation is of some help to him, but unfortunately, Zhao Shoushou, who is wholeheartedly preparing to break through his cultivation, is not clear about the changes in the outside world. The speed visible to the naked eye keeps beating.

It turned out that after enough time and analysis, I had some preliminary understanding of the densely packed and chaotic meridians and acupuncture points near the upper dantian.

Sharpening a knife is not a mistake in chopping firewood. This principle is also applicable to monks. If there is no such years of accumulation and analysis, Zhao Shoushou may have already tasted the consequences of failure. At this time, he is Unprecedented confidence.

"Has Mr. Zhao's years of effort been wasted? Let's attack with a pair of dragons today." He murmured confidently, and the mana in his dantian surged up again, and split into two near the dantian. Surround it from two completely different directions and invade the dantian decisively.

Although it has been cultivated by mana for many years, the tiny meridians here are still unable to withstand the monk's attack, and the piercing pain in the head keeps coming.

The pain in this key position is obviously different from normal pain, which can be clearly recognized from his distorted facial expression.

The slightly protruding eyes are even more protruding than the forehead. Obviously, the meridians that are trying to be cleared in the mind are obviously related to the eyes.

The upper dantian is located at the core of the brain, which is equivalent to the core of a monk. Every blocked and seemingly useless meridian is closely related to some delicate organs.

It was under this kind of careful step-by-step advancement that the tiny meridians outside the upper dantian became smooth and tough again under the nourishment of mana.

Time also passed by inadvertently, and in the blink of an eye, it has been 30 years since he officially retreated. On this day, a towering water pattern burst out of the originally calm river.

This sudden change attracted the attention of some Jindan cultivators who were in charge of the Spirit Island at the first time, but after knowing the reason, they suddenly became calm.

"It's a smart choice for someone to choose this place as the place to condense the golden core. It should be a fellow Taoist from a casual cultivator."

"It has already caused a change in the sky, and the chance of success in congealing the pill has reached more than [-]%, but it can be recruited in advance."

"After the beast tide is over, there will always be some fellow Taoists who have met by chance, who have broken through many obstacles and successfully promoted to break through the bottleneck and condense the golden core, and become one of us."

Most of the Golden Core cultivators sitting on Lingdao saw this scene and imagined how to recruit them. After all, the value of a Golden Core Stage cultivator is unquestionable.

Even the Spirit Island Alliance, which has the strongest overall strength in the overseas cultivation world, cannot ignore the existence of a newly promoted Jindan monk.

Although Yuanying Patriarch is the Dinghai God Needle of a sect, but each dragon sees its head but does not see its end, and it may not necessarily appear in front of everyone for hundreds of years. The strongest monk in each sect is always the Golden Core Stage monk.

In addition to the attention of the monks in the golden core stage, the eyes of many monks who belonged to the major sects in the foundation stage were all red-eyed.

Golden elixir is not only an unattainable dream for casual cultivators, it is equally difficult for a large number of sect disciples.

The monks who are qualified to be stationed on this spiritual island basically belong to the golden elixir seeds that various sects focus on cultivating. Among them, only one out of ten can truly successfully condense the golden elixir.

Zhao Shoushou is not clear about the changes in the outside world. He only knows that the moment the upper dantian was opened, the spiritual consciousness that originally lived in the lower dantian entered the chaotic upper dantian immediately like a cat smelling fishy. In the middle, wandering happily in it, happily devouring the mist in it.

This is the first time that Zhao Shoushou has felt the emotion of spiritual consciousness so clearly since he embarked on the road of cultivation. Soon, as the spiritual consciousness wandered around, the outline of the entire upper dantian has appeared, and formed in the center. An illusory golden pill of spiritual knowledge.

"Golden pill of spiritual knowledge is completed, mana is condensed, and golden pill of spiritual consciousness is combined into one, and it will transform into a dragon in case of a storm, and the golden pill will be completed." Zhao Shoushou, who was in retreat, shouted loudly, and his whole body suddenly turned into one. A funnel-like existence, frantically devouring the surrounding spiritual power like a man with a belly full of hunger.

The Spirit Gathering Formation that had been prepared for a long time was also opened immediately, with high-grade spirit stones as the core and middle-grade spirit stones as the auxiliary, a large amount of pure spiritual power swarmed in, and surrounded Zhao Shoushou in a silver spiritual power vortex.

At this time, the four array flags that were originally used for different purposes burst instantly under the impact of crazy spiritual power, and the spiritual power from caves, rivers, and spiritual islands was pouring into this not-so-deep cave. .

The river water that was originally impacted stopped strangely at this time. Under the effect of spiritual power, it formed vortices that continued to rotate, like a big funnel, and gradually disappeared in the air as time passed. form a similar vortex.

The only difference may be that the vortex in the river carries the spiritual power absorbed from the spirit island, while the funnel in the air transmits strands of special energy.

The functions of the two are also completely different. The sufficiency of spiritual power is related to whether the golden elixir can be successfully condensed, and the mysterious power is the key to the rank of the golden elixir.

Chapter 494

At this moment, the sea-like mana in Zhao Shoushou's dantian had disappeared without a trace, replaced by a bare golden elixir.

The golden core is only the size of a thumb, but the power contained in it is indeed quite powerful. The golden core is still in the process of crazily spinning, and a large amount of spiritual power is being replenished continuously.

From the surface, who would think of a small golden pill, the spiritual power contained in it is actually several times that of the turbulent and majestic sea of ​​mana in the original dantian.

Up to now, it is basically possible to announce the success of the golden elixir condensation, and the rest is just a matter of water grinding, and now he is more concerned about the grade of the golden elixir.

If it is said that in the bottleneck of the golden elixir, the monks can still fight hard and try to make up for their own shortcomings with various elixir with extraordinary effects, the final grade of the golden elixir can only pray like an outsider, hoping that the funnel in the air can exist The longer the time, the more energy is delivered.

The reason why the former can carry sufficient spiritual power is also inseparable from the excellent comprehensive environment on this spiritual island. If it is on the gourd spiritual island, this process will last longer, and may even affect the golden spirit. Dan quality.
