Practice begins with a fisherman

It can be said that Zhao Shoushou concentrated all his efforts on this last blow. If he succeeds, he will be fine. If he fails, his counterattack force will be equally powerful.

"The spear comes out, the bottleneck breaks" Accompanied by some cathartic roars, the spear-shaped treasure in the dantian is like an arrow that leaves the string, passing through the dantian, and the meridian hits the invisible but actual bottleneck fiercely.

The moment the two came into contact, silence was louder than sound, and Zhao Shoushou's mind fell into an inexplicable blankness for a moment, as if being hit by a huge wave.

The corners of his mouth, nostrils, and even the corners of his eyes were faintly bloody. In case of failure, the injuries caused by the explosion of the spear would be at least several times that of the current one.

In addition to the continuous bursts of pain in the dantian and meridians, the most uncomfortable thing is the emptiness that comes from the body at the same time. This is the first time he has felt since he stepped on the road of cultivation.

But fortunately, his luck has always been good. In order to be able to advance to the later stage of Qi refining, all kinds of preparations are relatively sufficient. When the consciousness in the brain begins to recover and the body can be controlled, it can be clearly discovered that it has been hindering cultivation. The bottleneck for boost is gone.

The last spear formed in the dantian, after a successful breakthrough, turned into the first stream of mana after the seventh level of advanced qi training, nourishing the already dry dantian like a gurgling stream of water.

The most obvious change is naturally the growth of spiritual consciousness, and now he can easily detect all the changes within a radius of [-] feet.

It is a good thing to improve your cultivation base, but the most important thing at the moment is to maintain a stable state of mind, so as not to cause a drop in your cultivation base due to great joy and sorrow.

After each cultivation breakthrough, if there is no external help, it will take at least a month or more before the cultivation can be initially stabilized.

However, Zhao Shoushou obviously didn't need to take so long, and he took out a jade bottle from his storage bag, which contained ten first-order top-grade purple leaf pills, which were used to help him stabilize his cultivation at the seventh level of Qi refining The best treasure of his life is also the spoils of war that he got from Zhu Zhongsu back then.

After taking a panacea, the mana in the dantian recovers visibly with the naked eye, and a large amount of spiritual power will be successfully refined after every big cycle.

With the help of a first-level top-grade Ziye Dan, it takes at least three to five days, and as long as ten days to completely stabilize the cultivation base. After that, there is another important thing to deal with, which is the first-level one that will be obtained in the Luohan Temple auction. Refining the top grade Shuiyin sword.

Successfully promoted to the seventh level of Qi training and entered the gate of the late stage of Qi training, it does not mean that everything is fine, but a new beginning. In this process, the figure of magic weapon will naturally not be missing.

Chapter 126 Inheritance of the Alchemist

It will naturally take enough time for all these arrangements to be completed smoothly, and it is destined that Zhao Shoushou will not be able to leave the customs in a short time.

This made the little monk Huitong, who had been secretly monitoring his every move, very anxious. After all, although the specific news of the cave mansion is in his hands, it does not mean that everything will be fine.

"Although the later stage of Qi training is a bit more difficult, two months is enough time. Don't you want to reconciled to failure?" Looking at the location of Zhao Shoushou's cave not far away, the little monk Huitong said in a depressed voice. with.

If Zhao Shoushou hadn't been hand-picked by the abbot, and he had to find ways to make him a member of the Buddhist sect, how could he be a dignified and respectful monk to do the job of stalking himself?

Buddhism is usually trapped in poverty in the far west, but there are also temples in the Central Plains, so some secular disciples naturally exist.

On weekdays, this common disciple relies on handling some inconvenient things for them in exchange for generous rewards to maintain his practice, which can be called the dark side of Buddhism.

Time flies, the sun and the moon are flying fast, and it has been May since the Luohan Temple auction closed, and it has gone from hot summer to cold winter.

From the very beginning of breath-regulating meditation, the breakthrough of his cultivation, the stability of his realm, to the refinement of the last level of high-grade Shuiyin Sword, his strength has taken a big leap compared to before after all of them are completed.

The sixth level of Qi training and the seventh level of Qi training seem to be only one step away, but I don't know how many monks have blocked their way of practice. Among the huge group of casual practitioners, monks in the late stage of Qi training already have a lot of voice, and other monks naturally do not. Will be easily provoked.

"Quack quack quack" Zhao Shoushou had just left the customs, and the two new first-rank middle-grade cormorants could not wait to show their new strength, as if they were waiting for their master's praise and approval.

"I don't know if you are the master or someone is the master. Every day, one is full and the other two fall asleep to the first-level mid-level. Why do you work so hard for me?" After rubbing and playing with the two cormorants, I feel good.

The two cormorants have always enjoyed this simple way of communication, and they wandered freely near the spring full of spiritual power with their satisfaction.

It is not easy for the two cormorants to be promoted to the first-tier mid-tier according to their normal poultry qualifications, but they still can't help him.

"In the future, we will need to hunt and kill some monsters with similar bloodlines to help them." After thinking about it, this is the only way.

Turning his head, his attention quickly turned to the first-order low-grade purple jade green bee hive located in the corner of the cave. After several years of breeding, the size of the bee has increased several times, and after several generations of changes, the size and combat effectiveness of the current spirit bee are obviously larger Be stronger.

With the efforts of these hardworking bees, a bottle of first-grade low-grade spirit peak honey can be harvested every two months. Unfortunately, Cormorant Island lacks the growth of real spirit flowers, so the queen bee's rank cannot be improved.

The original spiritual fields near the spiritual veins in the cave have been replanted with first-order low-grade purple jade flowers. Under his careful cultivation, there are more than [-] plants in the basic mountain that can bloom every year.

The spiritual veins in the cave have been carefully cultivated over the years, and five low-grade spiritual stones are continuously invested every month. Now it is a stable first-order low-grade spiritual vein.

However, due to the constraints of his weak innate conditions, he has always been unable to catch up with his progress, and the assistance he can provide is really limited.

This is also the actual situation that most casual cultivators have to face. In the situation where the spiritual veins are basically divided up by various sects and families, it is already very good to have such a cave.

Ten days later, all matters were dealt with, and Zhao Shoushou officially left the customs, but before he left, besides the protective formation of the cave, there were already a lot of communication talismans hovering above it.

"Zhao Daoyou, it is rumored that a Dzogchen monk's cave in the late stage of Qi refining will be born in the northwest of Lumorant County. How about you and I explore it together?"

"The news that a monk cave with the inheritance of alchemy is about to be born is widely spread, and more than [-] monks in the middle and late stages of Qi refining have gathered so far."

Most of the eight communication talismans in total are conveying to him the news of a cave that is about to be born out of nowhere.

Several of them had the experience of hunting monsters together, but others were unknown, so it was impossible to show favor to him, a new late-stage Qi refining monk.

Zhao Shoushou still didn't understand why the news about the birth of a Chongbao cave made everyone know about it?Under normal circumstances, after accidentally learning this news, shouldn't you make a fortune quietly?

Maybe he will never know that this cave that is about to be born is an upright conspiracy of the Arhat Temple, which makes it impossible for all the target monks to refuse.

In fact, this kind of background is the scary thing about Zongmen monks. In many unknown positions, they have carefully prepared backers, and they will never give up until they achieve their goals.

It is estimated that Zhao Shoushou couldn't figure it out even if he wanted to break his head. In this cave that really has the inheritance of treasures, the ultimate move is a chronic poison from the Luohan Temple.

"The cave of Dzogchen monks in the late stage of Qi refining who have the inheritance of a first-level top-rank alchemist, although they know it is dangerous, it is still hard to refuse" is like a honey pill wrapped in poison.

Since the most eye-catching inheritance of the alchemist is the Foundation Establishment Pill or its related elixir, it is natural to know that a fierce competition must break out because of this.

Although he has successfully advanced to the late stage of Qi refining, he is only at the seventh level of Qi refining. It is conceivable how difficult it is to seize treasures from many late Qi refining stages and even Dzogchen monks.

"Knowing that there are tigers on the mountain, I prefer to walk on the mountain. Practice is to go against the sky. Knowing the danger, Zhao can't just watch the opportunity and not fight for it." With doubts of one kind or another in his heart, he still made up his mind to move forward.

This time, when going to this upcoming cave to compete, the two newly promoted mid-level spirit beast cormorants will naturally follow. On the one hand, they can help them resist one or two at critical moments; No opportunity presented itself for them.

This time, Luohan Temple carefully prepared to expose the ace cave in its hands. Naturally, the target was not only him, but at least three to five monks in the late stage of Qi refining and a larger number of monks in the middle stage of Qi refining.

"There is not even a single blade of grass in this protruding mountain range. How could the monks choose to build the cave here?"

"This is the brilliance of this senior. If he hadn't chosen such a shitty position, how could he have waited until now to be discovered by accident?"

"I don't know where the rubbing bird came from. The cave has not yet been opened, and nearly twenty monks have gathered here?"

Two days later, when Zhao Shoushou arrived at the location of the cave mansion, walking day and night, monks with different cultivation levels gathered in twos and threes, discussing with each other in a low voice.

One of them, after seeing him appear, stood up with a happy face and couldn't wait to say hello. It was the body refiner Lao Mang he met back then, and now he was also a peak monk in the middle stage of Qi refinement, and his muscles seemed even stronger.

Chapter 127 Emerging clues

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but fellow Daoist Mang seems to be getting stronger and stronger. Thank you for reminding me this time, otherwise I might have missed it." The old friend was very enthusiastic when they met, at least on the surface.

"I don't think Fellow Daoist is already a monk in the late stage of qi refining. This kind of cultivation speed is really enviable to Lao Mang." Lao Mang rubbed his bald head with his big hands full of calluses and smiled foolishly.

Those who don't know will be deceived by this simple and honest appearance. During the more than ten years of dating, almost all the monks who partnered with him have fallen, and only his cultivation base has improved all the way. How can it be that luck can explain the past? ?

Therefore, when Lao Mang appeared, not only did Zhao Shoushou not relax at all, but his vigilance was even higher. Everything was just the enthusiasm shown on the surface.

"This is fellow Daoist Zhao, whose cultivation is in the late stage of Qi refining. His combat power is unfathomable. With the support of fellow Daoist Zhao on this trip, our chances of successfully capturing the treasure will be greatly increased." Lao Mang introduced him to a small team of five people enthusiastically. , all of them are mid-stage Qi refining monks.

"Zhao and Lao Mang met each other in the early days, and they know each other well. I would like to ask fellow daoists to help me on this trip. Except for the treasures related to the foundation pill, how about sharing the rest with you?" Zhao Shoushou also asked. Feel free to make your request directly.

Among the more than [-] people around the cave, there are more than five monks in the late stage of Qi refining. If a small team does not have the monks in the late stage of Qi refining, even if they are lucky enough to find some high-quality treasures, they may not be able to save them. They can only eat some leftovers That's all.

With a small team to help rely on the advantage of numbers, Zhao Shoushou is also more likely to find suitable treasures, and the two complement each other and hit it off.

"Zhao Daoyou's words are reasonable, and Lao Mang agrees." Ti Xiu Lao Mang was the first to stand up and pat his chest to express his agreement.

"Zhao Daoyou's request as a monk in the late stage of Qi refining is unquestionable, and Zhang Tiangong has no objection." The second person who agreed was a Confucian monk.

Confucian monks are also a special kind of existence in the cultivation world. They rely on familiarity with various classics to cultivate a righteous spirit in their hearts.

Using the pen as a knife, using words as a blade, suppressing the world with a simple set of pens and inks in hand, and whether it can be successfully awakened has little to do with spiritual root aptitude, and more is a double test of heart and understanding.

The two qi-training sixth-level monks expressed their opinions respectively, and the remaining three naturally would not object. After all, they came here to explore, and the importance of monks in the late stage of qi-training period is still clearly known.

If Zhao Shoushou hadn't appeared, the five of them were just preparing to follow other teams and pick up some leftovers. Now that there are better options, why give up?

"Old mang, do you know how the news about this qi-training Dzogchen monk's cave was leaked?" Zhao Shoushou asked while standing firmly on the side.

In the absence of definite news, Zhao Shoushou was always in a state of anxiety, always feeling a fog covering his eyes, preventing him from discovering the truth.

"Three days ago, a monk in the early stage of Qi training was accidentally chased by a mutated first-order low-grade mutated leopard, and accidentally strayed into this place. Because of the existence of the cave protection formation, he escaped a small life. However, I don’t know why it was so publicized that many monks paid attention to it.” Lao Mang stood aside and explained in great detail.

"In addition, every two days at sunrise is when the power of the cave-protecting formation is the weakest. The two monks in the late stage of Qi Refining took the lead in agreeing to break the formation at sunrise tomorrow. At that time, the competition for treasures will depend on chance." Zhang Tiangong took the words and said, While explaining.

"In this case, we can just wait with peace of mind." Zhao Shoushou was already sitting cross-legged on the bluestone to adjust his breath, as if he had no interest in all this before the opening of the cave.

In fact, Zhao Shoushou was just trying to suppress the momentary shock in his heart, and of course he wanted to take this opportunity to confirm and clarify his thoughts.

An accidental observation just now found that there are six monks in the late stage of Qi refining, including him. Although there is no way to judge the specific cultivation level, five of them have met once at the Luohan Temple auction.

The remaining monks at the late stage of Qi training and a monk at the middle stage of Qi training seemed to be strangers to each other, but they each commanded a small group standing outside, forming a small encirclement faintly, judging from the frequent eye contact between the two of them. Obviously familiar and familiar.

Another doubtful point is that the monks in the early stage of qi training accidentally triggered the cave protection formation as explained by Lao Mang. No matter how little their knowledge is, such a simple phenomenon can still be distinguished, so why spread it everywhere?

"Could it be that all of this is a conspiracy of the Luohan Temple? Is the inheritance of this qi-training Dzogchen alchemist true or false? No wonder it has been silent since the old abbot refused." There was a silent entanglement in his heart.

If he chooses to leave now, no one should stop him, but he is reluctant to open the alchemist's inheritance cave, so he is caught in a dilemma for a while.

In fact, the most attractive thing for him is the gimmick of the alchemist. How could a first-level top-rank alchemist who has cultivated Qi and achieved great perfection, not prepare some auxiliary treasures for the foundation building that is close at hand.

As for the second-tier low-grade foundation building pill, it is very likely that there is no such thing. If there is such an alchemist, how can he fall?Even if it has been obtained, it must have been exhausted by the failure of the foundation establishment.

The preciousness of the second-tier low-grade Foundation Establishment Pill is naturally unquestionable. It is made from 13 precious elixir, which can help monks build a foundation, but this does not mean that everything will be fine after getting the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Even with the full assistance of Foundation Establishment Dan, the success rate of Foundation Establishment is only half at most, so failure to hit the bottleneck is too common.

Of course, Zhao Shoushou still firmly believes that there must be some auxiliary elixir for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill in his cave, and this is also the ultimate purpose of his trip.

He once obtained a first-grade top-grade rootless fruit in the place where an unknown monk fell, and a first-grade top-grade thousand-gold vine in the Jinlin Secret Territory belonging to the Yushoumen. If he can get the third auxiliary elixir, It will undoubtedly be of great help to his future foundation building.

"The purpose of Luohan Temple is just to let me join the Buddhist sect. I will definitely not be safe. I think it is forced through some special means. Even if it fails, the result is within the acceptable range." By chance, Zhao Shoushou decided to stay.

Of course, some preparatory work is essential. The first-rank top-grade Shuiyin Sword will be his sharp weapon in battle, and the two first-rank middle-grade cormorants will be responsible for side echoes. Some detoxification, healing and other panacea are also essential.

He even decided to take a first-grade top-grade Qingling Pill before entering the cave, which is a very effective detoxification panacea.

Now that the final decision has been made, Zhao Shoushou is no longer hesitant and entangled. Instead, he begins to really settle down to meditate and adjust his breath, waiting for the time when the cave protection formation becomes weak.

Chapter 128 Hundred Beasts Calling Soul Formation

"The time has come, the sunrise is about to appear, all fellow Taoists work together to break through the formation." In the early morning of the second day, the sun had not yet appeared, and the entire sky was in a gray state. drink up.

So far, a total of 25 monks have appeared here, six in the late stage of Qi training, sixteen in the middle stage of Qi training, and three in the early stage of Qi training. The monks were quickly arranged in a simple order according to the level of cultivation.

Including Zhao Shoushou, the six monks in the late stage of Qi training are at the core position. Each of them has a first-grade high-grade magic weapon that emits a cold light. There is no doubt that they are also the main force to break the formation.

The sixteen middle-stage Qi-training monks were standing on the periphery with all kinds of magical weapons, including swords, guns, halberds, axes, axes, hooks and forks, ranging from low-level first-level to middle-level first-level.

As for the three monks in the early stage of Qi training in the outermost circle, they were subconsciously ignored. I don't know where the courage of the three monks came from, or they wanted to pick up some leftovers after all the monks competed. Low-grade talismans.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is needed, and when the round red sun rises from behind the thick clouds, these instruments and talismans will unleash the most violent attack on the cave-protecting formation.

It was too late and then soon, less than a cup of tea, the first ray of sunlight every day appeared in front of everyone through countless spaces. The barren hills that were originally empty seemed to welcome the appearance of the sun, a transparent mask Show up in due time.

What's even more amazing is that vivid dogs, sheep, wild boars, horses, cows, tigers, leopards, etc. appeared on the mask and played on it. When they found the monks around them, they seemed to be frightened. At the same time, it disappeared without a trace, as if it never appeared at all.

The cave-protecting formation is the famous first-tier top-grade beast-sounding soul formation. The power of the offensive and defensive formation is mainly reflected in the captured beast souls.

This is also a formation that is both good and evil. From this, it can be basically judged that the owner of the cave at the time was not a good person. It may be because of the existence of the beasts and souls that the surrounding area is so barren.

This kind of formation will excessively extract the power of the earth's veins and spiritual power to strengthen itself. If some surrounding wild beasts and low-level monsters break into the range of the formation, the power of the beast soul will also be deprived, and it will gradually become a part of the formation. part.

"Fellow daoists, the cave protection formation has been activated. Target the point where the beast soul appears, and attack." The monk on the ninth floor of Qi training manipulated a giant mace to attack the formation first.

Zhao Shoushou pointed at the first-grade top-grade Shuiyin sword with both hands, and instantly shot out to the place where a goat soul once appeared, and struck it away fiercely, leaving a deep depression on it with the powerful attack power.

The first-tier high-grade Hundred Beasts Singing Soul Formation has been cultivating the power of the earth veins and spiritual power for decades to strengthen itself, how can its defensive power be underestimated?

The first wave of the monks' long-sought, massive attack caused a lot of trouble to the Beast Crying Soul Formation, with large and small dents, but it did not cause substantial damage. The second wave of attack has not yet come With the flickering of a bright light, everything has been restored to its original state.

Apart from the fact that the color on the originally bright mask was slightly dimmed, there was no substantial progress. Breaking the protective formation was a time-consuming and labor-intensive task no matter when or where.

Almost all the casual cultivators present were well-tested and tenacious people. Naturally, they were psychologically prepared for this situation, and they were not moved by it at all, and launched a new round of attacks firmly according to the agreed rhythm.

In fact, all the monks present were routine means, and they would definitely not use powerful attacks.

Their only worry was that some monks hid quietly during the formation break, and wanted to rush up and snatch the spoils with an absolute advantage at the moment the formation was broken.

Time passed bit by bit, and the attacks of the monks continued from sunrise to noon when the sun was shining high. Although the first-level high-grade Hundred Beasts Minghun Array was strong, it couldn't resist the continuous attacks like a water mill.

"Moo, Mian, Roar, Chirp..." Suddenly, on the calm and empty mask of the formation, the long-lost beast soul reappeared, and let out waves of painful roars.

"The beast soul comes out, the formation breaks, fellow daoists, please increase your attack power, the moment the beast soul is wiped out is the moment the formation is shattered." Only the monks on the ninth level of Qi training could be heard roaring at the top of their lungs as if they had taken a big tonic pill. At the same time, the monk was refreshed.

Under the leadership of the six late-stage Qi refining monks, they strengthened the output of mana and the attack power of the magic weapon one after another, and launched the strongest attack on the target beast soul they had already aimed at.

Zhao Shoushou's target was a goshawk-shaped beast soul, surrounded by five other beast souls of different shapes, it must be one of the few monster beast souls in the array of beasts, compared to ordinary beast souls. Obviously stronger.

There are a total of 12 monsters and beast souls in the first-tier high-grade Hundred Beasts Singing Soul Formation. Except for the six late-stage Qi refining monks who dealt with one each, the remaining six are temporarily entangled in pairs by mid-qi refining monks.
