Practice begins with a fisherman

The only function of the Elimination Talisman is to eliminate all kinds of forbidden obstacles, so that it can deliberately and freely pass through the forbidden obstacles and enter the interior.

This kind of treasure talisman is quite difficult to make. First of all, special raw materials are needed. For example, the talisman paper is made from the fur of a cloud beast, and the talisman ink is prepared from the blood of more than ten specific third-order monsters in a fixed ratio. .

The most important thing is that making the Talisman of Elimination and Banning requires a lot of cultivators themselves, and there are probably only a few people who are qualified to make it on the subcontinent.

Every time an anti-ban talisman appears on the market, it will cause a big rush. After all, there are always some lucky monks in the cultivation world who can find some caves that are still protected by a large array.

Constrained by the protective formation, it is impossible to go deep into it. If you get a banning talisman, all problems will naturally disappear, and you can also avoid the backlash of the large formation. If the gods take away the treasures without knowing it, isn't this the best? best way?

This is also the reason why he was so excited when he got the treasure talisman of elimination and prohibition. With three treasure talismans in his hand, wouldn't it mean that he could easily take the treasures of the three caves into his hands in the future.

As for the specific location of the cave, as long as you are careful and careful, you can always find it out, not to mention that there is currently a dungeon at the bottom of the lake as the main force, all of which will not cause too much trouble.

"This should be a powerful offensive ancient treasure, and it can be regarded as making up for Mr. Zhao's shortcomings." A basic judgment he made when he looked at the last magic weapon in the shape of Xu Changyanyue Dao, which was about ten feet long.

There is still a certain difference between Yanyue Dao and ordinary sword magic weapons. The blade part only accounts for about one-third of the overall length of the big sword, and the remaining part is the handle that occupies the main length. is quite obvious.

As for the name of the Yanyue Knife, it is naturally engraved on it as "Earth Splitting Treasure Knife". Unfortunately, it is not easy to refine the ancient treasure. Although this cave is secret, the leakage of spiritual power will definitely attract the attention of some nearby monks. What Zhao Shoushou has always pursued is to make a fortune in silence, so he is naturally unwilling to compete face to face with other monks at this time, and put himself in a dangerous situation for no reason.

"The Elimination Talisman, the Half-Spirit Treasure Pill, and the Earth-Splitting Treasure Knife, although there are only three kinds of treasures, each of them is a high-quality product, and the fifth level of the Golden Pill is not far away." He is still very satisfied with the harvest of this trip.

Of course, in addition to the above three harvests in the cave, the third-grade middle-grade water sparkle spar and the water spirit meat taken from the body of the money crocodile are rare treasures.

After searching the cave again to confirm that there was nothing missing, Zhao Shoushou left decisively, and his figure quickly disappeared in another completely opposite direction.

Half an hour later, a foundation-building cultivator wielding a spiritual weapon appeared swaying nearby, feeling the increasing spiritual power around him, and he couldn't believe it.

A river that was originally quite barren suddenly became full of spiritual power without any warning. The monk's first reaction was not to search for opportunities around him, but to slip away without making a sound.

"No matter what kind of opportunity he has, Lao Ji is just a traveling cultivator, and he cannot participate in this situation."

Facts have proved that the choice of this foundation-building monk was correct. He had just left for only a stick of incense, and a Jindan early-stage monk had appeared by the Jiushui River again.

An hour later, with the arrival of a large number of monks, a scuffle broke out, resulting in the fall of a golden core monk, and the fall of more than a dozen foundation-building monks, but the treasures they were looking for were still missing.

Chapter 653 Seeking the Monk's Cave

Now that the formation has lost its proper effect, the cave hidden at the bottom of the river naturally cannot be hidden. Unfortunately, after Zhao Shoushou's search, everything is destined to be nothing but joy.

Perhaps the only harvest is the spiritual veins that were originally under the protective formation. In fact, for monks, it is a good choice for hermitage, provided that the formation is deployed again.

It's a pity that this is on the sub-continent where the spiritual veins are not lacking. The most important thing is the invasion of monsters. The quality of this spiritual vein is good, but in the end it is occupied by a newly promoted Jindan early-stage monk. Under the threat of monsters, occupying and stabilizing completely depends on one's opportunity and strength.

Zhao Shoushou, the chief culprit who caused this scuffle, had already escaped, and returned to the dungeon at the bottom of the lake to enter the retreat again.

Naturally, the most important thing is to refine the water spirit meat obtained from the belly of the money crocodile. The huge third-tier middle-grade money crocodile is only bred with a piece of water spirit meat that is only the size of a fist.

Compared with the stench of the flesh and blood of ordinary monsters, this piece of watery flesh is not so much meat, but rather a crystallization of watery spiritual force, exuding a special sweet smell, very hard in texture, and transparent throughout. , like a special piece of spiritual material.

In addition to the unique appearance, the continuous dissipation of pure water spiritual power is also a very important symbol, and this kind of water spiritual power can become the purest magic power in the golden core as long as it is collected in the body and refined a little.

"This piece of water spirit flesh is enough to match the effect of a bottle of spirit pill of the same level, but it is not in vain to waste a precious water attribute treasure talisman from Mr. Zhao," Zhao Shoushou murmured, with an expression of great enjoyment on his face.

Now that it has been decided to refine it as soon as possible, naturally it will not continue to dawdle, a fist-sized piece of water spirit flesh melts in the mouth, and pure water spirit power flows down the throat.

Some of the most pure ones entered the seven meridians and eight meridians and merged into the running Great Zhoutian time and time again, vying to become a part of the golden core.

The pure water spirit power provided by this piece of water spirit flesh can be said to be the most simple, effective and active since he embarked on the road of cultivation.

Whenever a big cycle is completed, he can easily feel the increase in mana in the golden core. This is already a very rare experience for him as his cultivation level improves.

In addition to the purest water spirit power in the flesh of the water spirit, some special treasures enter the virtual core of the upper dantian along the meridians to speed up its operation and shrink. The effect is even stronger.

Of course, based on his current cultivation base of the fourth level of the golden core, the energy contained in a piece of water spirit flesh is far from being able to meet the needs of his cultivation base promotion.

Two months later, the refining of the flesh of the water spirit was completed. Although Zhao Shoushou's own cultivation base had made considerable progress, he was still a long way from the fifth level of the golden core.

If one concentrates on retreating and practicing, if everything goes well, it will take at least 20 years.

This is obviously unacceptable to him, so after the retreat is over, he has already begun to inquire about some information that the protective formation is still in operation and the cave has not yet been opened.

Since the location of these caves is not a secret, they still exist in the realm of comprehension, which shows the strength of the protective formation itself. Zhao Shoushou's trump card is naturally the three magic spells that he got last time.

This special treasure talisman does not cause much damage to the formation itself, it is equivalent to opening a temporary entrance and exit on it to allow monks to enter and exit.

Originally, these caves that could not be explored in the realm of comprehension due to various reasons, naturally became valuable sweets for him.

In addition, the ancient treasure, the Earth-Splitting Blade, has also been refined. This is a third-tier middle-grade ancient treasure. Its power is unquestionable. It can easily break the defensive magic weapon of the same level, and its effect on improving its combat power is very obvious. of.

Under Zhao Shoushou's instruction, the dungeon at the bottom of the lake began to secretly search for some information about the caves. So far, it has been fruitful. There are four caves to choose from, and all of them are located within a radius of [-] miles from the dungeon.

The protective formations of these caves are still in operation and have not been directly damaged. Of course, it cannot be confirmed that there are no lucky people like him who quietly killed the people in the caves after getting the talisman of eliminating bans. Treasure theft, but the probability is not high.

"Baiyan Cave Mansion itself is embedded in a whole piece of blue rock. It is suspected that the cave residence of a late Jindan monk. There were three Jindan Dzogchen monks who tried to enter it to search for treasures, but they failed in the end. The guardian array was connected to the spiritual and earth veins , the end is tough"

"The Yellow Flower Nest Cave Mansion is located in a yellow flower nest, which is guarded by tens of thousands of yellow flower bees, but any attempt to attack the protective formation will be attacked indiscriminately by a swarm of bees."

The yellow flower bee is a special second-tier low-grade monster. Its own strength is not strong, but it is superior in its large number and contains some severe bee venom.

It is precisely because of the blocking of this special monster that this cave has never been opened, but this does not pose a threat to him who has the banning talisman.

So far, the only doubt is that the cultivation level of the owner of this cave is still unknown. If it is the place where a monk at the early stage of Golden Core sits, wouldn't it be a waste of a treasure talisman?

"Jiuli Ice Cave Mansion has a third-tier middle-grade Jiuli Ice Array protection. It sits on a thousand-year-old ice vein, and the protection power can be continuously drawn. The ground veins and spiritual veins are cut off, and the formation cannot be destroyed at all."

"Compared to the other three caves, this is a cave with a very clear background. Before sitting, she had the peak cultivation level in the late stage of Jindan, and she was only one step away from becoming a baby with broken pills. She is good at envoys. The highly poisonous female cultivator's cave"

Before the fall, a sea of ​​flowers was transformed into a place of highly poisonous poisonous flowers. Different flowers bloom in different seasons of the year. The scent of flowers is the hiding place of highly poisonous flowers. If you are not careful, you will fall into it.

And every time they attack the protective formation, there will be a large amount of flower poison breath accumulated over the years, which poses a considerable threat to the monk's personal safety.

Combining the large array with the flower poison, and the power of the flower poison accumulated over time will become stronger and stronger. Over time, under the circumstances of a lot of painful lessons, fewer and fewer monks have the idea of ​​​​playing here.

Flower poison is unavoidable and unstoppable, even if there is a means of eliminating bans, it is the same, so this is also the first cave he gave up.

The purpose of Zhao Shoushou's choice of Dongfu was to promote the fifth level of Jindan, not to lose his life in vain. This point must be paid attention to at all times, and one must not throw away the watermelon to pick sesame seeds.

Chapter 654 Promoted to the Fifth Level of Golden Core

He is very clear about his own positioning and purpose, and it is precisely because he keeps a clear mind at all times that he has been able to go all the way to the present.

Whether it is searching for various treasures or improving one's cultivation, the ultimate goal is to go further on the road of cultivation and enjoy a longer lifespan.

If a momentary brain fever on the way leads to falling to a certain place, all previous efforts will be wasted, and everything will become nothingness.

Throughout Zhao Shoushou's journey, most of the seemingly dangerous battles were calculated in detail, and some seemingly reckless actions of exchanging injuries for injuries and obtaining some treasures were all calculated in detail. without compromising safety.

The purpose of inquiring news and exploring the cave this time is naturally to improve the cultivation level. The profit in this flower poison girl's cave may be the highest, but when it exceeds one's ability to bear it, it is a normal choice to be given up immediately.

"In this case, Mr. Zhao can only go to Jiuli Ice Cave Mansion to try for the first time." Zhao Shoushou secretly made up his mind, this is the one with the most rewarding harvest among the remaining three cave mansions.

According to his plan, he will not explore all the three caves at once. Whenever he ends an exploration operation and gains something, he will practice with the resources he has obtained to ensure that his own strength is constantly improving. .

Even with the help of the Talisman of Elimination and Banning, according to common sense, there should not be too many dangers, but since these caves can still exist under the greedy eyes of the monks, besides the protective formation, there must be more The danger that monks need to face.

Every point of increase in strength will increase the monk's combat effectiveness a little bit, and correspondingly, he will appear more calm in dealing with various dangers.

The Jiuli Ice Cave Mansion mainly relies on the dual effects of the power of the earth veins and the power of the spiritual veins, which is what the Elimination Talisman is best at. From this point of view, this cave mansion should be relatively safe to deal with.

One month later, on a vast icy lake in the southwest of the dungeon at the bottom of the lake, a cultivator squinted his eyes and carefully observed it.

This icy lake is exactly where Jiuli Ice Cave Mansion is located, but for some unknown reason, this place is in a very low cold environment all year round, and the icy lake here also does not melt for years.

The cave should be located in the center of the ice layer hundreds of feet below the ice surface, and he was quite puzzled about this kind of monk who chose such a remote location for the sitting place.

"There are no monks or monsters prying within a hundred miles, and this is the best time for someone Zhao to turn into a thief." Before he finished speaking, his figure had already melted into the ice.

Ice is a variant of water, and its essence is still water attribute. As a real pure water attribute monk, there shouldn't be too many problems in some simple operations.

After a cup of tea, a cave house enclosed by layers of ice appeared in front of Zhao Shoushou's eyes, and only then did he understand why no one had opened it.

In addition to the normal ice layer, starting from the third layer, there are a large number of pattern carvings on each layer of ice, and the ice-cold power in the entire lake is condensing here. The thickness and hardness of the ice are becoming more and more outstanding. Just this layer of ice is enough to cause a lot of trouble, not to mention the even more powerful formation.

"I don't know how powerful the banning talisman is in this kind of place?" Zhao Shoushou couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling as he looked at the densely packed, mountainous and countless patterns in the ice layer.

However, the matter has come to this point and there is no room for retreat. After adjusting his mentality, he took out a banning talisman from the storage bag, activated it with the inner mana of the golden core, and accurately pasted it on the central part of the pattern .

With the appearance of a burst of black and yellow light, it was like encountering a natural nemesis, whether it was hard ice or densely packed patterns, all were covered in a special layer of luster.

Moreover, this luster did not have any substantial impact or damage on the formation itself, but a real hole appeared in front of Zhao Shoushou's eyes, allowing him to pass through the obstruction of the formation and enter the cave that had been closed for a long time.

The banning treasure talisman does not substantially damage the formation, but it also needs to withstand the backlash of the formation. Generally, a talisman can only last about a quarter of an hour.

For an experienced old thief like Zhao Shoushou, fifteen minutes is enough to clean up all the treasures without external influence.

"The whole three bottles are suitable for the three yin and three yang transformation elixirs taken by monks in the middle stage of Jindan. Zhao's cultivation level is expected to improve." In about a quarter of an hour, Zhao Shoushou evacuated the underground cave in time. Fei's.

Half a decade later, he had already returned to the dungeon at the bottom of the lake to practice in seclusion, and what he had consumed was the panacea he had obtained from the Jiuli Ice Cave Mansion.

In addition to the rich spiritual power contained in the three yin and three yang transformation elixirs, the most important function is to increase the monks' utilization rate of refining various treasures in the future.

When cultivators refine elixir, elixir, and some special treasures of heaven and earth, there will inevitably be some more or less waste, and the conversion of three yin and three yang into elixir can significantly improve this point.

This also means that the speed of practice will increase in the future. Maybe a panacea will not help too much. Over the years and over time, this is not a small number.

What's more, the elixir itself also contains strong spiritual power, which has an obvious effect on the improvement of monks' cultivation, especially the monks who have just entered the middle stage of the golden elixir.

After half a year, the three bottles of spirit pills were exhausted, and Zhao Shoushou started the next round of operations, going to the new cave to search for more treasures.

It was through this kind of effective reincarnation that two years later, a gust of spiritual power suddenly blew up in the increasingly prosperous dungeon in the center of the earth, and a small spiritual power vortex formed in the air, but all of these existed for a very short time. For a short time, it didn't have too obvious an impact on the monks who came and went.

Only a few golden core monks looked at the direction of the city lord's mansion meaningfully when they noticed these small changes.

The monks of the same level are naturally quite sensitive to changes in spiritual power, but they are more cautious after realizing that the local city master has been promoted.

The promotion of Zhao Shoushou's cultivation level is not only a deterrent to the dungeon, but also an invisible propaganda. After all, on the sub-continent, the strength of the city lord is also the foundation of a dungeon's smooth survival.

From the fourth level of Jindan to the fifth level of Jindan, it may not be regarded as a substantive improvement in cultivation, but it can be regarded as a considerable improvement. There is no doubt that the increase in strength is unquestionable. The longer you can hold on, the more likely you are to win.

"Achieving the fifth level of Golden Core is one step closer to the cultivation world in the Central Plains"

Chapter 655 Joining of the First Golden Core Elder

It is also a long process from being successfully promoted to stabilizing a new realm of practice. For monks, it can be as little as a few months and as long as a year.

Zhao Shoushou is naturally no exception. A year later, he successfully stabilized his cultivation at the fifth level of the Golden Core, and he officially ended this retreat. At this time, five full years have passed since he began to search for resources to attack the fifth level of the Golden Core.

Five years is nothing more than a short life journey for a monk's life essence, but he feels the full threat of his life essence being depleted.

Jindan monks generally enjoy a lifespan of 600 years, and with the help of some life-prolonging elixir, it can be increased to 700 years. Now Zhao Shoushou has practiced for a full three hundred years.

And the improvement of the cultivation base is more and more difficult the further you go, maybe it is not too rare for a bottleneck to be trapped for tens or hundreds of years.

His goal is to become a Nascent Soul, and the remaining four hundred years, even if everything goes well, will be quite a challenge.

For the smooth realization of the goal, how could Zhao Shoushou be slack in the slightest?The main energy in the future also needs to be placed on the improvement of cultivation.

After years of development, the dungeon at the bottom of the lake can provide him with a stable profit equivalent to five bottles of Tier [-] and Tier [-] panacea every year. For him, this is already a place that cannot be easily given up.

What's more, there are some other benefits. For example, the source of the smooth promotion to the fifth level of Jindan this time is the information about the sparkling water spar and the flesh of the water spirit obtained from an early Jindan monk.

The improvement of cultivation requires long-term retreat or going out. Under the circumstances that it is difficult to accomplish two things at the same time, it is imminent to recruit a Jindan stage monk to join.

"It's a pity that there is still a certain distance between the two cormorants to be promoted to the third-level spirit beast. Otherwise, why would Mr. Zhao have such a headache?" Zhao Shoushou murmured.

Before March, the two cormorants returned to the dungeon at the bottom of the lake according to the agreement. After years of wandering, hunting, and accumulation, their foundations have been completely solidified, and the wildness in their bones has been stimulated again.

He could feel that the two cormorants were already at the peak of the real second-tier top-rank, had successfully touched the bottleneck of the third-tier, and were only one step away from being promoted.

Fortunately, no matter how the temperament of the two cormorants changes, how fierce the wildness in their bones is, there is no change in their dependence on him.

It's just that the last step is far away. In addition to qualifications, chance and luck are also very important. When he can take the last step, he can't judge.

Taking a step back, the two cormorants promoted to the third-level spirit beast may provide a helping hand in the battle, but after all, they cannot assist him in all aspects of management like a monk.

What's more, on this mainland, recruiting a Golden Core cultivator to join in can be considered as a solid foundation for the dungeon at the bottom of the lake, and it will also have infinite benefits for future development and growth.

According to the comparison of the number of Golden Core cultivators and dungeons, it is not too difficult to recruit a Golden Core cultivator.

In fact, every city lord is very cautious when recruiting monks of the same level as assistants. Unless he can take the absolute initiative in terms of cultivation, it is obviously impossible for Zhao Shoushou to do so now.

Therefore, some careful choices must be made for the franchisee, for example, the cultivation level should not exceed the third level of Golden Core, and it is best to be a newly promoted monk at the first level of Golden Core, and cannot be a wandering cultivator who has wandered around the subcontinent for a long time.

Also from a casual cultivator background, Zhao Shoushou was too familiar with the thoughts and ideas of these cultivators. If something happened midway, he didn't want to end up in a miserable end.

Since the reason for the recruitment is to reduce the pressure on oneself and increase the strength of the dungeon, naturally it can't be too useless, otherwise what's the point?

If it is simply one of the requirements, there are not a few Golden Core monks who meet the requirements, but when the three are combined, it is enough to firmly block most of the Golden Core monks who intend to join.

Under Zhao Shoushou's instruction, the dungeon at the bottom of the lake has already released the news of recruiting Jin Danqi elders to join. Thanks to the development and future potential of these years, a monk always comes to visit every few days.

Among them are those who have reached the middle stage of Golden Core, and there are also new Golden Core monks with good potential. Of course, some monks who have given up on continuing to improve their cultivation and want to find a dungeon to settle down account for the majority. .
