Chapter 675 Completely Different Golden Core Late Stage

Zhao Shoushou was in a state of absolute tension at this time, while slowly releasing the pure mana after multi-layered sacrifices, and on the other hand, he was always preparing to refine and detoxify the elixir, so that he could keep it at the critical moment. a life.

For monks, this moment is like a prisoner waiting for the final verdict. The time is short but it feels very long. Only when the first ray of energy emanating from the marrow coin appears, can the final result be achieved. show it.

From entering the dantian to the real refining, all the marrow coins need is just a cup of tea, but for Zhao Shoushou, it really feels like years.

With the support of sufficient mana vitality, a cloud of energy appeared on the surface of the originally hard marrow coin, and the black and white distinct colors entered an inexplicable transformation, sometimes completely black, sometimes completely white, sometimes half black and half white , and the areas occupied by black and white are also quite different.

As the colors on the marrow coins continued to change, Zhao Shoushou's mood was also in a frenzied beating up and down. At the critical moment involving fate, the monk who had always been known as calm was still hard to escape. Primitive desire to survive, this is just the normal reaction of every normal monk.

The change of black and white color on marrow coin is also a kind of game between two kinds of energies, if black has the upper hand, it is highly poisonous, and if white has the upper hand, everything will be fine.

After a cup of tea, the expression on Zhao Shoushou's face finally relaxed, and his frown gradually relaxed. At this time, the first milky white energy finally radiated from the marrow coins around the golden elixir.

Obviously, the white side ultimately prevailed in the game just now. This special energy will not be directly integrated into the monk's mana, and it has no fixed effect on improving mana. Whenever a ray of milky white is refined When the energy is released, they will all rush into the bottleneck ditch in a swarm, and in the process, they will be divided into three.

One-third of the energy is high in the air, and two-thirds of the energy is evenly distributed on both sides of the trench, like swallows returning to their nests.

Whenever the magic power in the monk's body tries to cross this trench, he will encounter earthquakes, acid rain, cold wind, raging fire, etc. The tests of various natural disasters are extremely difficult.

However, the power from the marrow coin does all of this easily. After refining a ray, there will be a faint white bridge extending on both sides of the trench. At this time, all the natural disasters seem to have almost disappeared. .

Three months later, with the refining of the last sliver of strength of the marrow coin, the whole marrow coin completely dissipated in the dantian, and the white bridges on both sides of the trench were finally connected together. When the two collided, a wave of The vibration from the heart gave him a feeling of shaking from the inside out. This kind of power seems to be aimed at the soul, which makes people have a special feeling of being ecstatic.

"The marrow coin bridge has been completed, the bridge of mana, when will it not come out now?" Almost at the same time, only Zhao Shoushou yelled, and the golden core began to spin crazily, and a large amount of pure mana surged out. Streams of mana that have been refined several times spread along the white bridge built by the power of marrow coins.

In contrast to the calm and waveless milky power from the marrow coin, whenever the mana stretched out, Fang Yi touched the two sides of the trench, and a vibration was clearly felt.

It's a pity that the cultivator has already adapted to this kind of power. Apart from causing some simple vibrations, it can't cause too much impact on the surging flow of mana.

What's more, there is a milky white bridge under the mana, which has an obvious weakening of the test of natural disasters in the trenches, and this is also its effect.

The length of the trench was about three feet. When the flow of mana rushed over one foot, the acid rain hit again, and two feet away was the bone-eating cold wind. This was the longest distance reached before.

According to the previous descriptions in some jade slips, there are four bottlenecks in the later stages of promotion to Jindan, but the specific forms are different.

Under the erosion of the cold wind, even with the protection of the bridge made of marrow coins, the surging flow of mana was still inevitably weakened by more than half.

The originally mighty torrent is now only a trickle. Now Zhao Shoushou can only pray that he can pass the test of the next level. As long as there is any spiritual power to complete the construction of the bridge, this breakthrough will be considered a success , the follow-up only needs to fill up a lot of spiritual power.

In fact, it is the same as building a solid bridge over a raging river in the mortal world, except that there is no water flow here.

After the promotion is successful, all these will be integrated into the golden core. In fact, the later stage of the golden core is just equivalent to filling up enough spiritual power in this trench. This is also the last obstacle before hitting the Nascent Soul.

With Zhao Shoushou's tenacious efforts, Mana finally managed to break through the attack of the bone-eroding cold wind, when it was only one step away from the other end of the trench.

Suddenly, boundless crimson flames ignited from the trench, and under the extremely high temperature of the flames, the mana that was only a trickle was evaporated in an instant.

Water and fire are mutually restraining, and when the flames have an absolute advantage, the mana of the water attribute cannot last at all. Even under the protection of the power of marrow coins, there is still no way to make people anxious for a while.

The most critical point is that under the burning of the flames, the marrow coin bridge that provides defense has begun to look a little illusory. Without the supplement of follow-up power, everything is just a tree without roots and water without water. , if you want to successfully advance to the late stage of Jindan, you must complete the construction of the mana bridge before the power of the marrow coin is exhausted.

If this promotion fails, it will not only lose the opportunity to attack again in a short period of time, it may also cause some damage and turmoil to the source, and it will need enough time to recuperate. Saying doomed is unacceptable.

"Golden elixir reversal, original mana, appear quickly, replenish the bridge, hit the bottleneck, advance to the later stage, order" only heard a complex password accompanied by dazzling hand gestures, and the face that was originally slightly pale due to the consumption of mana Suddenly, a strange red color appeared.

The golden elixir in the dantian changes the direction of rotation instantly. Every time it rotates a hundred times counterclockwise, there will be a slender dark blue original mana.

This ray of mana seems weak, but it is the real source of power. No matter how powerful a monk is, the source of power is limited, and each strand can be called the true essence of a monk.

With the incorporation of the power of the original source, the mana that was originally trapped in the sea of ​​fire was like a big tonic pill, and it rushed forward fiercely. Before the bridge built by the marrow coin power was exhausted, it finally barely reached the bottleneck ditch. the other side of the

Chapter 676 The deterrent power of Jindan late stage

At the very moment when the Mana Bridge was built and the ditches on both sides were linked together, a burst of mysterious power was constantly exchanging, flowing quickly on both sides of the ditches through the Mana Bridge.

During this process, the bridge of magic power, which was originally extremely weak and barely built, and under the four tests of vibration, acid rain, bone-eroding wind, and sea of ​​​​fire, which might break again at any time, stabilized little by little.

And as the two sides of the trench communicate with each other, the power of various natural disasters is also continuously decreasing. With the stability of the bridge, with Zhao Shoushou as the center, there is a sudden burst of crazy suction, and the spiritual power accumulated in the secret room suddenly dissipates. Almost all the spiritual power lost in the veins is consumed in the secret room, and it is still far from being able to make up for it.

With the consumption of spiritual power in the secret room, a small vortex of spiritual power gradually appeared around him, and as time went by, the influence of the vortex of spiritual power continued to expand.

From the underground secret room to the city lord's mansion, and then extended to the entire dungeon, and finally even affected the surface of the lake, a whirlwind of spiritual power frantically absorbed the surrounding spiritual power.

"The spiritual power of the dungeon is constantly declining? Could it be that it is being attacked by the enemy? The large formation protecting the city is running at full capacity to extract spiritual power?"

"Who, who influenced this old man's retreat?"

"Bang, my panacea is only one step away from becoming a pill. Where is it?"

All of a sudden, the entire dungeon was in chaos, whether it was retreat, alchemy, making talisman seals, etc., were obviously affected, so failure was even more common.

"Spiritual power vortex, spiritual power vortex, appearing in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion"

"Such an obvious movement must be the city lord, the old man who is breaking through the realm of cultivation or cultivating an extremely powerful supernatural power."

Following bursts of astonishment, a huge vortex of spiritual power that gradually formed above the City Lord's Mansion became the focus of everyone's attention.

"The dungeon at the bottom of the lake is immediately under martial law, and the city defense array is activated. All monks are strictly prohibited from going out. The patrol team patrols the whole city, and those who do not obey the order will be killed on the spot."

The voice of the Elder Sun Jichang, who was in charge of the daily affairs of the dungeon, was in charge of the daily affairs of the golden core stage. The voice of Sun Jichang wafted through the entire dungeon.

The two low-grade third-rank cormorants above the lake also looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, patrolling the two ends of the lake respectively on the left and the right, but whenever there were third-rank monsters wandering around, they would immediately kill them. its expulsion.

However, the birth of a late Jindan cultivator obviously cannot be hidden from some caring people. In a grove hundreds of miles away from the dungeon at the bottom of the lake, a third-rank high-grade dryad that ruled the place appeared in the spiritual power vortex. In an instant, the canopy was shaking wildly.

In an ordinary river in the southeast of the dungeon, a strange fish that was only as thick as a thumb but with dense scales and fine teeth floated to the surface little by little, observing deeply in the direction of the spiritual power vortex.

A tiger with a white forehead and dangling eyes, which was chasing its prey, gave up the blood food that was close at hand, roared silently in the direction of the dungeon, dripping a little bit of saliva, as if thinking about how to swallow the more delicious and nourishing blood food into the belly.

In addition to the monsters, there are still some monks in the late stage of Jindan who have felt the similar situation. In short, they have felt it within a radius of five thousand miles of the dungeon.

Of course, Zhao Shoushou didn't know about these so-called concerns, or even if he knew, he wouldn't take it too seriously.

After the mana bridge is completely stabilized, it can be regarded as the real step into the threshold of the seventh floor of the golden elixir, and successfully enter the gate of the later stage of the golden elixir.

Of course, this does not mean that everything will be fine, at least there are two things that must be ranked first and need to be resolved in the first place.

The first is the stability of the realm of cultivation. Although Zhao Shoushou bought two bottles of twenty top-grade purple gourd true essence pills in the underground city at a high price, it can assist the stabilization of the realm to a certain extent, but it still takes a lot of time.

Another point is naturally the injuries caused in the process of hitting the bottleneck and the consumption of original mana caused by the reversal of the golden core.

A monk's original source of mana is limited, and each ray of original source needs at least two months of meditation before it can be restored to its original state.

Zhao Shoushou had spent a total of twelve strands of original mana in order to attack the later stage of Jindan. Even if everything went well, it would take two years.

Although the time can be shortened to a certain extent with the help of the spirit pill, according to his estimation, it will take at least three to five years, and more than ten years of retreat.

In fact, this is also the norm in the cultivation world. After every monk successfully breaks through the realm of cultivation, this is an inevitable choice. However, he retreated and rested, and did not affect the leapfrog development of the dungeon at the bottom of the lake.

With the promotion of the city lord's cultivation base and increasing strength, the figures of some third-tier middle and low-grade monsters that occasionally hover around the lake have already fled.

The number of cultivators visiting the dungeon at the bottom of the lake every day is also showing a rapid increase. Most of them come to conduct transactions, and a small number of them come to visit specially for the reputation of transactions.

These people are destined to return disappointed. Zhao Shoushou, who is still in retreat, cannot easily go out to meet and talk with each other.

The purpose of the visitors is naturally different, or they are simply visiting, or some emissaries of the dungeon, or they want to join the dungeon and come to negotiate conditions.

According to the authorization before the retreat, Sun Jichang was entrusted with full responsibility for all these tasks. This early Jindan cultivator has been in pain and happiness during this period of time.

Over the years, it has taken up a lot of time to deal with various complicated affairs in the dungeon. Also with the supply of sufficient resources, the cultivation level has also been significantly improved. It has been successfully promoted to the second floor of Jindan more than ten years ago, and the first magic weapon The refining is successful, and its own strength has also improved a lot.

In addition to the Golden Core cultivators mentioned above, the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators who came to become naturalized also increased a lot instantly. Some came from broken dungeons, some came from relatively weak dungeons, and some came from wandering cultivators. Then embark on the road of practice.

Naturally, those monks who come to the dungeon at the bottom of the lake are welcome. It is natural that there are more people who can enhance the foundation of the dungeon but have no influence on the city owner himself.

In addition, the most obvious performance is Fangshi. On the one hand, all the shops are improving the quality of the treasures sold, and on the other hand, the competition for shops in Fangshi is becoming increasingly fierce.

Once the contract signed by a certain shop expires, at least a few monks will come to compete for it, and the rent will naturally rise rapidly, benefiting the whole dungeon. Power.

It's a pity that these monks don't know if this newly promoted Golden Core will look annoyed and wry when he is about to leave in the late stage.

Chapter 677 Arriving at Teleportation Mountain

On the subcontinent, except for a few large-scale dungeons with ancestors in the Nascent Soul stage, more than half of the dungeons’ highest combat power is only one or two Jindan junior and middle-stage monks, just like the previous lake-bottom dungeons. There is only one Dharma protector elder at the early stage of Golden Core sitting here.

Having a late Jindan cultivator sitting in town is already a minority among the minority. As long as you don't take the initiative to provoke some powerful beings or rashly expand the scale of the dungeon, causing the surrounding monsters to attack them, in most cases it is relatively safe.

Even to a certain extent, it is safer to have some small-scale dungeons in the later stage of Jindan than the dungeons in which the Yuanying Patriarch sits.

The main reason is that the big tree attracts the wind. Once the Yuanying ancestor is in charge, it will naturally attract the attention of the fourth-order monsters. The same as the core dungeon.

It is precisely because of the reputation of Old Ancestor Bei that the two Tier [-] Dryads led by more than [-] Tier [-] Dryads and hundreds of Tier [-] Dryads besieged him.

Therefore, the attraction of a dungeon on the sub-continent with Jindan late-stage monks is beyond doubt. This is also the reason why the strength and development of the dungeon at the bottom of the lake ushered in an explosive growth after Zhao Shoushou's cultivation level was successfully broken through. where.

However, these have no substantial impact on Zhao Shoushou who has just left the customs. Since he has already decided to go to the teleportation mountain to compete for a seat in the teleportation array, once he succeeds, the possibility of returning here again in the future is obviously very small.

Whether it is the trapped sub-continent, the overseas cultivation world, or the mainland cultivation world, Zhao Shoushou's attraction cannot be compared with the Central Plains cultivation world where a hundred flowers bloom. Ascension to the spirit world.

Zhao Shoushou and others are in the human world, where life is first born. Various resources are relatively scarce. For many high-level monks, it is no longer enough to meet the needs of cultivation.

Once one's own cultivation reaches the peak of transforming gods, one's own aura is released, which will naturally trigger the feedback of the space gate between the two worlds.

At that time, there will naturally be a corresponding thunder calamity descending. As long as one can pass the test of thunder calamity, one can naturally ascend to the spirit world smoothly under the support of the space gate.

Every self-cultivation world will have a tribulation-crossing platform built under the gate of space. The mainland and overseas self-cultivation circles have not paid attention to it because of their low level of cultivation. On the sub-continent, they are built on the ground city, which is also the closest to the gate of space. The place.

It is precisely because of the existence of Dujietai, which is related to the vital interests of every great supernatural being in the transformation stage, that they will take action in person, resolutely repel the monsters' repeated attempts, and defend the interests of the underground city.

However, as far as Zhao Shoushou knows, the Crossing Tribulation Platform on the subcontinent has not been used for nearly 3000 years. As for the last recorded monk who successfully ascended to the spiritual world after Crossing the Tribulation, it was 5000 years ago. According to his prediction, he practiced overseas. The situation in the cultivation world and the mainland cultivation world should be similar.

The only exception should be the cultivation world of the Central Plains. According to some monks who came here by accident, every few hundred years, there will always be monks in the transformation stage who try to survive the thunder disaster, even if they succeed and fail, the frequency And chance is obviously higher than here.

"There is only less than ten years left before the opening of the teleportation array, and someone like Zhao should set off ahead of time," said the two Jindan monks in the city lord's mansion, sitting opposite each other.

"The city lord is determined to do this? Does he have any intention of retreating?" Sun Jichang seemed to have expected it, with a wry smile on his face.

"My generation's practice is to go against the sky and pursue all kinds of opportunities. The Central Plains cultivation world is vast, with abundant resources and a hundred flowers blooming. Since there is an opportunity, someone like Zhao will naturally need to fight for it." Zhao Shoushou's tone was full It is full of firmness, without any room for buffering.

"The city lord knows that the competition for seats in the teleportation formation is just a ticket in the later stage of Jindan. There is still a little shortcoming in order to successfully step into the teleportation formation, and it is very likely to face the siege of monks. The danger is quite high. The city lord Why don't you continue to practice with great concentration, and wait until the next time the teleportation array is opened to compete with the cultivation base of the ninth level of the golden core?" Sun Jichang began to advise from another angle.

"The cultivation base of the seventh level of Jindan, plus two low-rank cormorants of the third level, should have a certain degree of competitiveness." He had already planned for this point.

"Will the city lord return in the future? Can you tell me the future direction of the dungeon's operation?" Seeing that the situation had reached a point of no return, Sun Jichang began to ask for authorization.

"If you successfully compete for the seat in the teleportation formation, you will naturally arrive at the Central Plains cultivation world smoothly, and the possibility of returning in the future is not high; as for the failure of the competition, Mr. Zhao must have become a pile of bones on the teleportation mountain, and all the dungeons at the bottom of the lake are entrusted to fellow Taoists , all matters can be handled with full authority," Zhao Shoushou said, but the expression in his eyes became more and more determined.

"Since the city lord has made a decision, do you need to prepare some supplies in the dungeon?" After getting the promise, Sun Jichang had a half-crying and smiling expression on his face.

On the one hand, gaining the actual control of a dungeon will naturally greatly increase the cultivation resources in the future; After the blessing, it is also a big test.

"Everyone, Mr. Zhao, has already prepared all the necessary supplies, and all he needs to do is to fetch all the third-order treasure charms accumulated over the years." Obviously, he has already made plans for everything.

"About the news of the city lord's departure, I really need to keep it secret for a while. Please forgive me. All the treasure charms will be delivered as soon as possible." Sun Jichang had no choice but to propose a tactful strategy.

As long as he didn't take the initiative to provoke some terrible existences, a late Jindan cultivator who had been in seclusion for decades could at least guarantee the safety of the dungeon at the bottom of the lake for the next 30 years.

"After all, the dungeon at the bottom of the lake was built by Mr. Zhao from scratch, bit by bit, and painstakingly. As long as the news is not leaked, you can take the name of Mr. Zhao." Zhao Shoushou was quite generous, anyway. It is impossible to return in the future, and some names in the district naturally don't care.

"Thank you for the generosity of the city lord. Jichang will definitely live up to the city lord's entrustment and make the dungeon at the bottom of the lake flourish." Sun Jichang bowed seriously.

Three days later, a stream of light disappeared in the southwest direction of the dungeon, which was exactly where the teleportation mountain was located, about ten thousand miles away from the dungeon.

After taking away more than a hundred third-tier middle and low-grade treasure charms accumulated in the dungeon at the bottom of the lake, he decisively chose to leave, and three days later successfully arrived at the famous Teleportation Mountain, which is also the only passage from the subcontinent to the outside world. The time is turned on once.

Chapter 678 Against the Binxi Sect Sword Cultivator

When Zhao Shoushou arrived at the teleportation mountain, it was still about ten years before the teleportation array was opened, but he could easily detect the powerful aura rising and falling around him.

Some came from some talented monsters, some came from some powerful monks, and there were even some auras that could not be judged from.

Originally, after being promoted to the golden elixir level and stepping into the threshold of the golden elixir late stage, he can be regarded as a genuine guardian of a dungeon on the subcontinent.

However, compared to these more than thirty auras hidden in the dark, his cultivation is obviously higher, and the gap can be imagined.

Even though I had a certain understanding of the cruelty of the seat competition in the teleportation array through inquiring through various jade slips and channels before, only when I actually arrived here did I have a personal experience.

What's more, judging from the current time, the real strong have not yet arrived here, and all the monks who came here in advance are the monks of the seventh and eighth layers of Jindan or monsters with similar strength, wanting to occupy some advantages before the start of the game And go ahead.

"If you don't come here, how can you know that there are so many monks in the late stage of Jindan, how can a new recruit like Zhao have the qualifications to be proud?" Zhao Shoushou dodged from left to right before finding a place suitable for temporary rest. Land boundary, a giant tree with luxuriant foliage.

The giant tree grows on a spiritual vein, and the branches and leaves are also glowing with bursts of spiritual light. The strange thing is that the big tree itself has not opened its spiritual wisdom to embark on the road of cultivation.

This big tree is only about a hundred miles away from the teleportation mountain. Before the teleportation mountain's protective array was actually activated, it was considered a good location.

The famous teleportation mountain in the cultivation world of the subcontinent is just a hill with a height of about a thousand feet. Thanks to the existence of the teleportation array, it is full of spiritual power, and all kinds of flowers, plants and trees grow very luxuriantly.

On this hill, there is also a natural protective array on weekdays, and every time it will melt the day before the teleportation array is opened.

Zhao Shoushou and other monks came here, just preparing to rush up the mountain as soon as the defensive array melted, and snatch the teleportation seat as soon as the teleportation array opened.
