Practice begins with a fisherman

Of course, as time goes by, more Golden Core cultivators will definitely come after hearing the news, and there is no doubt about winning, even if this is not what this wave of cultivators are willing to do.

The fiercest battle on the entire battlefield is naturally the two Jindan late-stage monks and the three third-rank top-rank mutant crow monsters.

In the battle between the monks and the monsters, it was only the aftermath that had forced a huge open space around, just as the saying goes, the earth shakes and the mountains shake, and the sky changes.

During the battle, there were also some people who wanted to fish in troubled waters. For example, some new monks wanted to sneak into the cave without anyone noticing, and come to a giant clam to fight for the fisherman's profit.

It's a pity that after all, it was a bad move that failed. Facing these people who fished in troubled waters, all the monks had the same attitude, and they jointly shot and blew them into a piece of fly ash. Case.

"Quack, quack, quack..." Zhao Shoushou's counterattack was sharp, and the timing he seized was good, but after some struggles between the two mutated crows, one life was saved in the end.

Tier [-] monsters are already equivalent to Golden Core cultivators. It is easy to defeat them, but the difficulty of hunting them is greatly increased. This is why all Tier [-] treasures in the cultivation world are extremely expensive.

It's too late to say, but in fact, the confrontation between the two seems complicated, but in fact, it was completed in the blink of an eye. The battle between monks and monsters is not romantic, and every attack may cause damage. The disappearance of life can be described as quite dangerous.

After a fierce battle, at the cost of being attacked by another crow on his back, Zhao Shoushou finally inserted the tip of the water gun into the neck of the opposing crow.

It is better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt his ten fingers. Only by beheading one of them as soon as possible can the situation be opened in the shortest time. Zhao Shoushou doesn't want to waste the opportunity to enter the cave to compete for treasures because of the entanglement of two crows.

In about a quarter of an hour, with the fall of a large number of mutated crows on the battlefield, most of the monks began to try to pass through the mushroom cloud of spiritual power and move forward into the ancient cave.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Shoushou was naturally unwilling to be left behind, and then he opened fire with all his firepower, beheaded and killed the remaining mutated crow monster, and followed the figures of many monks to move forward.

The mushroom cloud that has not yet dissipated is the second obstacle that the Golden Core monks face. Even though the huge mushroom cloud does not contain too much attack power, it can greatly resist the speed of the monks.

Whether it is spiritual power or some other substance, once a large object is formed in a certain place, it will be a big obstacle for monks.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it turns out that being caught in a pile of spiritual power is such a special feeling, as soft as a pile of cotton." Fang Yi touched it head-on, this was the first clear feeling.

When Zhao Shoushou's figure entered the mushroom cloud, the spiritual power squeezed from all around directly reduced his forward speed by more than half, and this weakening could not be solved simply by increasing the output of spiritual power, it was more like The direct suppression and test of the flesh.

At this time, the effect of cultivation is reduced infinitely. Some early-stage Golden Core monks with strong physical strength, as they continue to exert their strength, the speed of advancement has been significantly improved, and even some mid-stage Golden Core monks can easily move forward. beyond.

Zhao Shoushou has always attached great importance to the improvement of his physical body since the Qi refining period, but whenever he has the opportunity, he will definitely spare some treasures to supplement him.

Although it is currently only the third level of Golden Core, purely in terms of physical strength, it has obviously surpassed some monks who have just entered the middle stage of Golden Core.

"Ancient treasure, there is an ancient treasure here. It is a treasure like a flower basket. Where can I go?" Zhao Shoushou had just crossed the mushroom cloud when a loud shout came.

Chapter 617

A white figure that almost merged with the surrounding rich spiritual power quickly disappeared not far away, holding a large flower basket in his arms.

After this figure, seven or eight similar figures chased after him, all of them were the monks who entered the cave in the first wave, and the ones with the lowest cultivation level were all the best among the mid-stage Jindan monks.

There is no doubt about the allure of ancient treasures. Magical treasures can be easily suppressed at the same level, but mastering a good-quality ancient treasure means that the viability of the cultivation world will be greatly improved, especially in the dangerous subcontinent. place, its importance is self-evident.

Therefore, when the figure of the ancient treasure appeared, the first wave of monks who entered the cave came out in full force, fighting for the ancient treasure wholeheartedly, as if they believed that the remaining treasures in the cave were just three melons and two dates, which were not worth mentioning.

Zhao Shoushou, as a third-tier Jindan cultivator, naturally coveted ancient treasures, but he also had a clear understanding of his own strength.

If you are [-]% sure that you can win the battle with the monks of the same level, facing the monks in the middle stage of Jindan, at most you can fight for an even match, and the only option for the late Jindan is to run as far as you can.

Even though there are thousands of covets in my heart, facing a group of powerful enemies, I can only choose to forcibly restrain, suppress the greed in my heart, and after thinking about it, go to the inside of the cave.

"You can only gain if you give up. If you snatch food from the tiger's mouth, there is a possibility of success, but it is more likely to become a delicacy in the belly of the tiger. It is better to go to the cave to find out." With a murmur, Zhao Shoushou's figure has disappeared in the cave. .

Most of the first batch of monks who entered the cave were attracted by the ancient treasures and went to pursue them. There were still some monks who thought they were weak in the cave and searched for all kinds of possible treasures.

If he hesitated for too long, he might end up empty-handed, so after entering the cave, he immediately went straight to the room where the elixir was stored.

Judging from the current series of situations, this cave should be the place where a monk in the mid-stage of golden elixirs sits. Apart from ancient treasures, the most important thing for a monk is naturally the elixir.

In particular, the spirit elixir, which has a certain auxiliary effect in the mid-term promotion of the golden elixir, is the most important thing, and it is also the most important thing for the current Zhao Shoushou.

It can be judged from the layout of the entire cave and some remaining traces of formations. This cave has existed for more than ten thousand years, and it can be regarded as a real ancient cave. If there are some elixir left, its effect is naturally beyond doubt.

"Maybe this is the opportunity for someone Zhao to be promoted to the middle stage of Jindan." Thinking of this, a trace of uncontrollable excitement appeared on his face.

For a qualified monk, the most attractive thing is the improvement of cultivation level, which is incomparable to any kind of treasure.

"These monks are really born thieves, they actually wiped out all the treasures?" The situation in the room left him stunned.

Apart from being empty, there was nothing but chaos. The ground was full of elixir and jade bottles that had completely lost their proper effects due to the passage of time. Other than that, there was nothing to be found.

In fact, this is also normal. When all monks enter a cave to search, the first goal is undoubtedly the location where the elixir and magic weapon are stored. This is also Zhao Shoushou's subconscious choice.

"These monks in the middle and late stages don't have the demeanor of their predecessors at all. Mr. Zhao should go to some remote places to search as soon as possible. Maybe there will be some gains." Zhao Shoushou, who woke up, went straight to some inconspicuous places in the corner of the cave. The room was searched.

Before him, at least a dozen monks had entered the cave. Before leaving to fight for ancient treasures, it was enough to search some conspicuous places. Once you search, even if you get something, it is just some leftovers.

Rather than doing this, it is better to do the opposite, saying that you may not be able to get something in some remote places, at least you can guarantee that you will not return empty-handed.

"It doesn't take much effort to find a place without breaking through iron shoes, and there is actually a small elixir garden here," Zhao Shoushou said happily in an additional elixir garden opened in the northwest corner of the cave.

This cave is located on a third-tier middle-grade spiritual vein, which can provide a stable supply of spiritual power. In addition, the owner here has used a great spell to introduce some underground rivers. In the past ten thousand years, the elixir garden There are more than ten elixir plants growing very gratifyingly.

And all of them are all third-tier middle-grade elixir, although there is no elixir that he carefully needs, it is still not a small gain.

After collecting all the elixir in the bag, he didn't have any nostalgia and quickly disappeared in another direction. He was quite happy about such an easy thing to pick up.

In the next half an hour, Zhao Shoushou has been in a very busy stage, constantly avoiding more and more monks entering the cave, and avoiding competition with some monks of the same rank as much as possible. Once a battle breaks out, not to mention the time Just attracting the monk's attention is a typical thankless thing.

In addition to more than a dozen elixir, some sporadic spiritual materials, treasure charms, etc. were obtained in other locations. The value is not the highest, but it is worthwhile to gain something.

"It's only a quarter of an hour. This cave has been turned upside down. I wonder if someone like Zhao still has a chance to get some treasures." The consciousness scratched the ground three feet.

It's a pity that all Jindan cultivators are experts in this aspect, and Zhao Shoushou almost got nothing, until he completely lost hope and stepped into the room where the elixir was stored.

After several searches, this small space became even more messy, and the jade bottles scattered all over the place had disappeared without a trace.

"Hey, is it hollow here?" When the feet passed by a corner near the exit, they suddenly noticed a slight difference.

However, the exploration of spiritual consciousness did not yield any results. It should be designed by using some pure techniques that do not involve spiritual power in the mundane world, and the effect when used to deal with monks is extraordinary.

Of course, once the strategy is seen through, it is quite easy to crack it. I saw Zhao Shoushou forcefully with both hands, using mana as a blade, easily split it, and a blue panacea faintly appeared in the jade bottle.

Although it has been buried here for tens of thousands of years, the quality of the spirit pill has not been affected at all, and a trace of dense air is floating in the jade bottle.

On the contrary, it is like fine wine with a mellow taste. After a long enough incubation, it will become more and more mellow and full-bodied, and the effect is naturally better.

"This is the real valuable treasure, so someone Zhao will go." The joyful look on Zhao Shoushou's face flashed away.

Chapter 618

After getting the treasure he really wanted, he didn't continue to stay here, and he was completely dismissive of the treasures that might still exist in the cave, and even the ultimate owner of the ancient treasure didn't pay too much attention to it.

Although the panacea in the jade bottle does not know what kind it is and what effect it has, but it has no doubts about its preciousness.

Even if it is not the panacea he urgently needs, he is sure to exchange it at the trade fair. The most urgent thing now is to investigate the details of the panacea as soon as possible.

This kind of panacea inherited from thousands of years ago is the same as ancient treasures. Thanks to the rich spiritual power between heaven and earth and a wide variety of treasures from heaven and earth at that time, its effect is far superior to that of some current spirits with the same effect. Dan's.

In addition, with the passage of time, the number of this kind of panacea is getting smaller and smaller, and its value is in a rising stage on the entire subcontinent.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao returned with satisfaction, he must have obtained his favorite treasure, congratulations, Fellow Daoist"

"This trip to the Ancient Cave Mansion, although there were some turmoil, was quite rewarding, and fellow Daoist Zhao was no exception."

"Although there are some gains from this trip, they are just some common things. The most precious thing is a treasure talisman, which is not worth mentioning." Facing the jokes of the monks, Zhao Shoushou didn't have the slightest look of thinking. It's laughing and joking with each other.

A total of six Golden Core monks came to the Earth Core Dungeon. The competition seemed fierce, but so far no monks have fallen.

Except for the deputy city lord in the late Jindan period who went to compete for the ancient treasure flower basket and never returned, the remaining monks have all returned to the agreed meeting place.

Of course, there is no concern about the safety of the deputy city lord. Among all the monks participating in the competition, there are only two late Jindan monks, and his strength is obviously superior. Now I am afraid that he is wholeheartedly fighting for the ownership of the ancient treasure flower basket right.

For the monks in the late Jindan period, as long as they did not take the initiative to provoke some Yuanying stage ancestors and fourth-order monsters, they would be safe in terms of safety.

It would be a lie if the five Golden Core monks present said that they had no interest in Gu Bao, but due to their own lack of strength, they could only wait here honestly, especially the two mid-stage Golden Core monks. Appears not reconciled.

Perhaps only Zhao Shoushou had really put the so-called flower basket ancient treasures behind him in his heart, and was wholeheartedly waiting for the answer to the mystery to be revealed and the type of the mysterious elixir in the jade vase to be confirmed.

Ancient treasures certainly have a certain attraction, but for him, as long as his cultivation level can be improved, all treasures in the future can be searched for. Of course, the reason why he can be so frank is his clear understanding of his own strength is also an important factor.

"Fellow daoists have been waiting for a long time, old money is coming." About an hour later, Qian Bigen's hearty laughter finally came. Judging from his expression, it was obvious that he had successfully pocketed the ancient treasure of the flower basket.

"Brother Qian's face is full of smugness, he must have successfully acquired the ancient treasure, my congratulations from here." Wei Yihua congratulated on the surface, but the sour breath in his tone was quite obvious.

"The deputy city lord has great powers, and the combat effectiveness is even better with ancient treasures, and the dungeon in the center of the earth will be as stable as Mount Tai in the future."

"I have little knowledge, so I don't know if I can take a look at the appearance of ancient treasures, so that I can open my eyes too?"

"Deputy city lord Shenwei, who has taken the ancient treasure from countless monks, congratulations from Mr. Zhao."

Except for Wei Yihua, the rest of the monks congratulated incessantly, as to how much of it was true or false, it is naturally unknown.

The only common requirement is to have a look at the ancient treasure, and the look of wanting to broaden his horizons makes him feel a little bit complacent.

Even if the ancient treasure is a great treasure for a late Jindan cultivator, otherwise why would there be a need to fight desperately with another cultivator of the same level just now?

"It's just the most common ancient treasure, it's not worth mentioning. It's no problem to observe it." Before the words finished, an exquisite flower basket appeared in his hand.

The flower basket looks ordinary, but it freely absorbs the spiritual power that wanders between the heaven and the earth all the time. In the center of the flower basket are naturally more than ten blooming flowers.

"This ancient treasure is called the Basket of Confusion, and it has the dual effects of confusion and siege." Qian Bigen just briefly introduced one or two things, and stopped talking.

This will also be one of its trump cards in the future. Naturally, it will not be introduced too much at this time. It is already a great favor to be willing to provide it for everyone to watch.

A quarter of an hour later, a group of six people left this place again and embarked on the journey back to the dungeon in the center of the earth, because more or less everyone had something to gain, and it seemed very easy along the way.

"This jade slip that records all kinds of ancient spirit pills is actually worth ten high-grade spirit stones. If it wasn't for keeping secrets, why would Zhao be so careful?" Zhao Shoushou in the cave muttered softly, his face full of pain. His expression was that of a miserly miser.

The first thing I did when I returned to the Earth's Core Dungeon was to buy this jade slip. According to the store's guarantee, this should be the most complete record of ancient spirit pills in the entire Earth's Core Dungeon so far.

It is also a valuable treasure that was discovered by monks from the subcontinent over the years, and it is priced at ten high-grade spirit stones.

"I don't know if I don't see it. I was shocked when I saw it. There are so many ancient panacea on the subcontinent. It's really an eye-opener. These panacea with heaven-defying effects have appeared at different times." Read carefully The introduction of each kind of elixir on the jade slips can't help but sigh.

Among them, the one ranked first in the jade slips is a panacea called Chengying Pill, which was born 3000 years ago. God, it has only appeared once since it was recorded.

It was just this one time that he successfully created a Nascent Soul stage supernatural power, and according to this monk, compared with the danger of achieving a Nascent Soul under normal circumstances, there will be a steady stream of nourishing energy in this process, which is The danger faced by monks has been greatly reduced.

Even after achieving Nascent Soul, you can still get the bonus of the effect of Chengying Pill for a long time, which can be said to be twice the result with half the effort in practice.

Naturally, Zhao Shoushou did not dare to expect extravagantly for these panacea with heaven-defying effects, and what he was concerned about was still only the panacea obtained from the ancient cave mansion.

It's a pity that the value of this kind of panacea seems to be unable to compare with some famous panacea. Zhao Shoushou searched until the end, and only then found it from an inconspicuous corner.

"Third-rank low-grade ginseng essence nine-hole elixir can increase the success rate of [-]% in the mid-term promotion of golden elixirs. It is a kind of elixir that is more common in ancient times." There are only a few records about this elixir. With a sigh of relief, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Chapter 619 Promotion to the Fourth Level of Golden Core

The previous elixir is certainly effective, but for Zhao Shoushou, it can only quench his thirst. For monks at this stage, the most important thing is the opportunity to be promoted to the middle stage of the golden elixir.

If you have been stuck in the current situation and cannot move forward, even if you get more and more precious treasures, so what?It only leads to death.

Now that he has obtained the third-rank low-grade Ginseng Essence Nine-hole Spirit Pill, it can be refined without anyone noticing. Only after his cultivation level is improved, it is possible to fight for more treasures.

With Zhao Shoushou's current aptitude, without any elixir assistance, the success rate of forcibly hitting the bottleneck of the golden core in the middle stage is about [-]%.

The success rate of Shenjing Nine Holes Spirit Pill has been increased by [-]%, which means that the success rate of the retreat has increased to [-]%, which is basically a certainty. How can this make Zhao Shoushou not excited?

"God will take the blame instead of taking it. Now that the opportunity has come, how can Mr. Zhao be willing to waste it?" Zhao Shoushou could only hear a low voice, but the expression on his face became more and more determined.

As long as one can successfully cross the threshold in front of him and successfully advance to the fourth level of Golden Core, it means that he has stepped into the gate of the middle stage of Golden Core, and the road to practice in the future will be much smoother.

Therefore, after a brief thought, he quickly decided to start retreating immediately. With the help of Shenjing Jiukong Lingdan, the time for retreating this time will not be too long, at most it will not exceed 15 years.

"Retreat and attack the middle stage of Jindan, all fellow Taoists, please do not disturb." A communication talisman was pasted on the gate to prevent anyone from disturbing it.

The tenth floor of the pillar of the underground city where Zhao Shoushou is located can enjoy the support of the third-order middle-grade spiritual veins, so there should be no problem in satisfying this retreat.

After making some preparations, Zhao Shoushou quickly entered the depths of the cave near the spiritual veins, formally began to retreat and practice, and embarked on a journey to a stage of retreat.

There is only one elixir of Shen Jing Nine Holes, so Zhao Shoushou will not waste it lightly, and the treasure can only exert its best effect when taken at the last moment.

Naturally, Zhao Shoushou would not blindly take the elixir at the beginning of his cultivation. The cultivation base of the third level of the golden elixir was already at its peak state, but it still needed to be polished carefully.

Only when he ensured that his spirit, energy, and spirit were all at their peak, would Zhao Shoushou really start to attack the mid-term bottleneck of Jindan.

And in the very beginning, only one's own potential was relied on, and the most critical moment was the moment when Shenjing Jiukong Lingdan came out.

From the early stage to the middle stage of the golden elixir, in addition to adding a stripe on the golden elixir, the area of ​​the golden elixir itself will also increase significantly.

Now the golden core's outer shell seems to be tightly locked by a shackle, and the improvement of cultivation level is to completely break this invisible shackle.

In addition, there is the virtual pill in the upper dantian, which is a completely opposite change process to the golden pill. Its slightly bloated volume needs to be compressed by more than one-third.

At present, the golden core in the dantian has increased to a certain extent, and the illusory core in the upper dantian has shrunk to a certain extent, it is the moment when the broken elixir becomes a baby, and the mana and consciousness are combined, which is the state of the peak of the golden elixir. Obviously he At present, there is still a short distance from this realm.

With sufficient supply of spiritual power, Zhao Shoushou carefully and patiently polished the mana in his dantian bit by bit, gradually increasing its density.
