Practice begins with a fisherman

"Zhao Daoyou, just relax. The reputation of the Dingshafang Dongfu Rental Office is created by its excellent quality. The spiritual power enjoyed by all caves of the same level is exactly the same. If there is no summon during the rental period, there will be no one. Excuse me," the monk in the mid-stage of Qi training assured with confidence.

"The No. [-] Cave Mansion, Class B, has the protection of a second-tier low-grade formation, and fellow Taoists only need to return it on time." An exquisite bronze medal is the key to temporarily renting the Cave Mansion.

The second-tier low-grade array can block the attack of the monks in the early stage of foundation establishment, so there shouldn't be any problem with the safety during the retreat here.

The spiritual power of the caves that are rented out in the entire Lingshan Mountain is from bottom to top, so his second-class No. [-] cave is basically located not far from the top of the mountain.

"The cave is open, order" After a stick of incense, Zhao Shoushou finally stood at the entrance of an exquisite cave, and after confirming it, with a flash of aura from the bronze medal, this second-tier low-grade cave will be closed within three months. belongs to him.

"Cough, cough, cough..." But I didn't expect that when Fang Yi entered it, the unprecedented strong spiritual power choked him until he coughed, tears streaming down his face, it was the legendary fainting spirit.

The main reason for this phenomenon is that the monks have been in a barren environment for a long time, and the surrounding spiritual power has always been unable to make ends meet. Suddenly entering a closed and abundant spiritual power, the meridians and dantian have difficulty adapting to it for a while.

Not only Zhao Shoushou, more than half of the casual cultivators suddenly entered this environment, and I am afraid that they will all fall into this kind of happiness trouble.

"Sure enough, it's a genuine second-level low-grade spirit vein. I didn't waste my 900 yuan low-grade spirit stone in vain. Being in such a dense environment is of great benefit for advancing to the ninth level of Qi training." Zhao Shoushou breathed a little For the surrounding environment is unprecedented satisfaction.

The reason why he didn't hesitate to spend a huge amount of spirit stones to rent a second-class cave that can satisfy the cultivation of early stage monks is naturally because of the importance of the ninth level of Qi training.

Although there is still a tenth level of qi training above it, it is only a process of accumulating spiritual power. In all the training process of qi training, the ninth level of qi training is a critical period connecting the past and the future.

Here, the C-level caves with the first-level high-grade spiritual veins and the Ding-level caves that are equivalent to the first-level middle-level spiritual veins can help him break through the bottleneck and improve his cultivation, but they are also different for the ninth level of Qi training. , what he wants is a solid foundation and a potential Ninth Level of Qi Training, rather than simply pursuing the Ninth Level of Qi Training.

After being promoted to the ninth level of Qi training, Zhao Shoushou was only one step away from the foundation building stage.

Chapter 160

After his cultivation level has been successfully promoted, his main task in the future will be to hunt and kill as many devils as possible, and accumulate enough points to exchange for "Congealing Water Art" and some elixir that will help in building foundations .

Of course, at this stage, how to ensure fast and high-quality promotion to the ninth level of Qi training is the most important thing. After checking the cave, he has already started to prepare for training.

300 yuan low-grade spirit stones per month, more than ten low-grade spirit stones per day, the high price made him dare not waste a little bit and hesitate.

The structure of the cave here is quite simple. There is a reception room, a training room, and a spirit beast room, where two first-grade mid-grade cormorants are sleeping soundly.

After the two first-rank mid-grade cormorants passed the test in the desert, they seemed to be more dizzy than him, and they hadn't woken up since they entered the cave. Of course, this kind of deep sleep is undoubtedly of great benefit to the spirit beasts.

Even if they can't help them improve their cultivation, it will be of great help to their foundation and bloodline improvement. Zhao Shoushou is naturally happy to see the results.

"I hope Zhao can feel the real help in this cave." After muttering to himself for a while, Zhao Shoushou closed the door of the practice room and began to run the Great Circuit according to the requirements of "Ripple Kungfu".

As soon as Fang started to practice, he suddenly felt as if he was surrounded by an ocean of spiritual power, flying freely and freely.

Every movement of the Great Week is full of firepower, no matter how hard it tries, the surrounding spiritual power seems to be boundless, and it will never be exhausted.

The spiritual power in the cave is equivalent to the second-order low-grade spiritual veins, and the quality is also far superior to all the spiritual power that has been refined in the past. It is almost unnecessary to consume too much energy, and you can get a lot of mana. Even Zhao Shoushou You can clearly feel the continuous growth of mana in the dantian.

As for the first-grade high-grade Qi Condensation Pill that was originally placed outside, it seems that it is not needed at all. After all, the spiritual power in the cave can already meet or even far exceed the needs of cultivation.

After starting the closed-door practice, Zhao Shoushou was not eager for success and immediately rushed to the ninth level of Qi training. Instead, he began to compress the original spiritual power in the dantian as much as possible and improve its quality as much as possible.

This kind of effort obviously had a good effect. The cultivation base that I thought had reached the peak of the eighth level of Qi training, slowly declined again like a hungry wolf that couldn't eat enough.

However, Zhao Shoushou is obviously happy to see this situation come to fruition. No matter what the reason is, the stronger the foundation of cultivation, the greater the help for foundation building.

This situation only lasted until the end of the first month. At this time, no matter how he suppressed it, the mana in his dantian couldn't increase any more.

Every time the spiritual power refined by the Great Zhou Tian can only be dissipated in the body inexplicably after a rotation in the dantian, most of it returns to the space between the heaven and the earth, and only some negligible spiritual power is absorbed by the body. This method gradually increases the strength of the body, and spiritual power feedback is also a common method used by most monks to increase the strength of the body.

So far, Zhao Shoushou has just reached the peak of the eighth level of Qi training, and he can launch a new attack on the bottleneck that he has clearly felt.

There is not much difference between the eighth level of Qi training and the ninth level of Qi training. The only change in the dantian is to increase the density and strength of mana, so as to realize an important transition stage of mana changing from gas to liquid essence.

When all three are at their peak state, the spiritual consciousness rushes to the mana in the dantian, and the two merge into one, and the perfect combination stirs up waves in the dantian.

Under the influence of spiritual consciousness, different images of eighteen kinds of weapons such as swords, guns, swords and halberds were formed, each of which wished to immediately hit the bottleneck in the air that prevented him from improving his cultivation base.

In fact, for Zhao Shoushou, this breakthrough is not too difficult. What he wants is a natural promotion, which can improve the quality of the ninth level of Qi training to the greatest extent.

Therefore, whenever the mana in the dantian is condensed into a new weapon shape, he immediately replenishes the same amount and quality of mana, and always maintains a perfect state.

Now he is like a strong bow with its bowstring fully drawn, and when the time comes, he can launch the most violent attack on the target, annihilating the enemy in one fell swoop.

After two days of "rumbling rumble" Zhao Shoushou's body continuously heard the sound of gongs and drums beating. This was a sign that a realm had reached a state of perfection, and the spiritual power in his body had already launched an attack on its own initiative.

"The meridians are overflowing, the gongs and drums are bursting, and the torrent of blood is unstoppable. If you don't attack now, when will you wait?" Zhao Shoushou, who was practicing, whispered for a while, and then under the control of his spiritual consciousness, the torrent of mana that had been suppressed for a long time in his dantian seemed to come out. Like a tiger in the gate, it rushed away.

Although he could already feel the existence of the bottleneck a long time ago, and even had a faint feeling of taking the initiative to break through, it was not easy when it was actually faced.

The bottlenecks we are facing are equally strong, and the same fierce tigers are blocking the way, but it is even more difficult to overcome. Practice is like sailing against the current, if you do not advance, you will retreat.

Every time the impact failed, the counter-shock force brought by the mana backlash was also uncomfortable. Even though he was enduring with all his strength, the color of his face constantly changing between red and white was the most true portrayal.

The bright red blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, the bulging meridians on his forehead, the ferocious expression on his face, and the constant trembling on his body all showed that every breakthrough was not something to be enjoyed.

Cultivation is to go against the sky, and every improvement in cultivation level is to improve the essence of monks, and it can even be regarded as a provocation to the world. Naturally, this is not an easy task.

Most people only see monks living in high places, and the world only envies their long lifespan, but they never know the hardships and hardships involved.

In the world of comprehension, there are always a small number of people who can achieve success in cultivation, and the vast majority of monks can't escape the fate of a cup of loess no matter how hard they try.

However, these obviously will not have any impact on Zhao Shoushou, who is in a critical stage. He has only one thought now, which is to practice and improve his cultivation level wholeheartedly, so as to realize the great goal of building a foundation as soon as possible.

Time passed bit by bit, Zhao Shoushou worked hard to refine the spiritual power around him like a bottomless pit, launching attacks again and again, and he would not stop until the moment he finally succeeded. This situation continued until the end of the second month.

During this period, thanks to the abundant and almost continuous supply of spiritual power in the second-class cave, Zhao Shoushou, the advanced cultivation base this time, did not take a single panacea.

At this time, his spiritual consciousness, which was almost exhausted under the constant impact, could almost feel the dense cracks on the invisible bottleneck. It was these hopes of success at any time that kept encouraging him to move forward.

Gathering all the remaining spiritual consciousness together, Zhao Shoushou once again organized the mana that was still abundant in his dantian to rush towards the bottleneck, but the result was naturally scattered, and the bottleneck was torn into pieces like old paper , So far, the nine levels of Qi training have been completed.

Chapter 161 Siming Mountain Demon Hunter

At the moment when the bottleneck was broken through, Zhao Shoushou could only feel a burst of mysterious power blending into the mana in his dantian. The mana, which was already very strong, vaguely appeared a special combination of gas and liquid.

This is also the direction that the ninth level of Qi training and even the tenth level of Qi training need to work hard. As long as half of the dantian is refined into this combination, it will be the peak of the ninth level of Qi training. A top-level monk can take a crucial step at any time.

In fact, there is no essential difference between the ninth level of Qi training and the tenth level of Qi training, and there is no bottleneck between the two. It is mainly a process of refining the quality and quantity of mana.

Now Zhao Shoushou has just stepped into this gate that needs a lot of mana to fill up, and he will need to consume more cultivation resources in the future.

This process is both fast and slow, and it is a scratch for most casual practitioners, because this is a stage that requires a lot of investment.

However, Zhao Shoushou obviously didn't care. According to his plan, the lease of the second-class cave for three months this time was not a small supplement after the successful promotion in addition to retreat.

In addition, thirty first-grade top-grade Qi Condensation Pills are also a batch of resources prepared in advance, which is supposed to be enough to support his cultivation to the tenth level of Qi training.

As for the training resources needed in the future, it would not be a difficult problem to solve with his cultivation base of the ninth level or even the tenth level of qi training.

With the improvement of cultivation base, it is easier and easier for monks to earn spirit stones. Whether it is hunting monsters and ghosts, digging caves for treasure hunting, or even accepting employment, it is not a small amount of income.

These problems will obviously not become his troubles and troubles for a while. Now Zhao Shoushou is doing his best to stabilize his cultivation level and refine a lot of spiritual power around him for his own use.

The sun and the moon rotate, and day and night pass away. For monks, time is the most precious and extravagant treasure. Three months pass by in a flash. For Zhao Shoushou who is in retreat, this feeling is most obvious.

Even with his unremitting efforts, there is a limit to the progress of the mana in the dantian, and it is just that a small part of it is successfully refined into this special mana.

"It's a pity that there is such a strong spiritual power in the cave, and I don't know if Zhao will have the opportunity to enjoy such treatment when he is about to break through the foundation building stage." Zhao Shoushou looked reluctant.

If he can practice here for a long time, he firmly believes that his practice speed can be raised to another level, but unfortunately the price to be paid is too high, if it is not at the critical moment of breakthrough in cultivation, it is really unbearable.

In addition, the renters of these caves are unwilling to lease them to monks who are about to build a foundation, because the amount of spiritual power that needs to be consumed in this process is too huge, which is an invisible damage to the spiritual veins in the cave.

Of course, if a monk is willing to promise to sign a promise for a certain number of years after the successful foundation establishment, there is naturally no problem.

However, being able to stand out among the many casual cultivators and go through countless difficulties and obstacles along the way, how could he be willing to sign the alliance under the city when the foundation is about to be established?

At least Zhao Shoushou won't bow his head because of this. What he wants is to search for a relatively abundant unmanned spiritual vein, although it is also very difficult.

"Come on, let's put these annoying things aside, I'd better find some ghosts to hunt and kill as soon as possible, and accumulating enough points to exchange for "Congealing Water Jue" is the best strategy." Half an hour later, Zhao Shoushou and the two Only a first-tier middle-grade cormorant spirit beast embarked on the journey again.

During these three months of training, apart from himself, the two cormorants also benefited a lot, and their cultivation base has improved a lot, and it is faintly noticeable that they are not far from the first-rank top grade.

After Zhao Shoushou established the foundation, he only needed to find some bloodlines that would help them refine, and the future path of cultivation was unlimited.

In the process of hunting demons and ghosts, there will naturally be no lack of searching for elixir. After all, compared to Xianzhou, the resources here are relatively abundant, and Zhao Shoushou will naturally not give up this wonderful opportunity.

In fact, up to now, he is quite sure about redeeming the "Congealing Art", the remaining [-] points are only seven or eight monsters that are equivalent to the late stage of Qi training, so it is not a worry.

The difficulty he is facing now is because he is not familiar with the place of life, and it is naturally difficult to find the ghosts.

An hour later, after disposing of all the trophies on his body, one person and two cormorants left from another direction, striding forward to some places where there might be ghosts.

After spending more than ten pieces of low-grade spirit stones in Fang City to buy the latest distribution map of ghost forces, Zhao Shoushou decisively went to the nearest one.

Anzhou seems to be prosperous, but it is only a superficial phenomenon. The number of ghosts hunted is not too many, and most of them are suppressed within a certain range by the monks here relying on factors such as formations and geographical advantages.

The gathering places of these ghosts are constantly attracting the surrounding monks to hunt them down, and it is expressly stipulated that as long as the exchange conditions are met, all treasures can be exchanged on the spot without default.

It is precisely because of this that every ghost gathering point is like a bright torch, attracting the monks who are practicing in seclusion on weekdays, and they do not hesitate to join this feast.

According to legend, more than a dozen monks in the late stage of Qi refining have successfully exchanged for the most precious Foundation Establishment Pill, but the authenticity of it is unknown.

It is precisely because of these rumors that not only casual cultivators, but even family and sect cultivators are here to hunt and kill the hateful ghosts.

Another great advantage is that every place occupied by ghosts used to be a place of excellent spiritual veins, most of which used to be the residences of some small sects and families. Although these ghosts wreaked havoc in it, there were always some treasures left behind.

If you are lucky enough to enter it to hunt demons and ghosts, it is not surprising to get some treasures. After all, families and sects that can be passed down for hundreds of thousands of years always have some good reserves.

"Where did you come from? Where did you come to Siming Mountain to hunt demons?" Three days later, he arrived at the foot of Siming Mountain on the first day of the lunar new year and was stopped by two monks on duty.

"Zhao is just a casual cultivator. This is a hunting token. Fellow Daoists, please check it out." Zhao Shoushou threw out a token before he finished speaking, and it was the token that had accumulated nearly 130 points.

"Please, Siming Mountain welcomes fellow Taoists to hunt demons and ghosts." The faces of the two monks turned pale. In fact, the strength and potential of a monk can be judged from the points on each token.

Although 150 points is not too advanced, but as a casual cultivator, being able to accumulate so many points is also a symbol of one's own strength.

Siming Mountain is also Zhao Shoushou's first goal. It used to be a family that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years and had several monks in the foundation building period. It would not have been attacked by demons and ghosts for this reason, until the formation was broken and the monks fell. Almost the entire army was wiped out except for a few monks who had not returned.

Chapter 162 Fighting Demon Ghosts Stepping on Spirit Lake

Since Siming Mountain used to be the inheritance residence of a family in the Foundation Establishment Period, it naturally has its own special place, and some treasures that are helpful for cultivation must also exist.

Among them, the most famous one is the spiritual fruit forest here, which can be described as everything from low-grade first-grade to high-grade second-grade, and the oldest tree even exceeds the lifespan of the family here.

It was precisely because of the existence of this spiritual fruit tree that it attracted the attention of a casual cultivator who happened to pass by here during the foundation establishment period, and established a cultivating family here.

After more than a thousand years of careful cultivation by them, the spirit fruit tree has been able to develop and grow, and has gradually become the main force for the development and growth of the family.

Naturally, cultivating the spiritual water of the spiritual fruit tree is the most important thing. Speaking of this, I have to mention a lake that covers a large area in the back mountain of Siming Mountain.

There was originally only an inconspicuous spiritual spring here, but thanks to an earth dragon turning over hundreds of years ago, not only the amount of water increased greatly, but a lake of spiritual water with a large area was gradually formed.

It is precisely because of the continuous watering of spiritual water from this place that the spiritual fruit tree can multiply and grow, and it even has a good reputation in the whole Anzhou.

Since he is good at cultivating spirit fruit trees, it is not difficult to open up some spirit medicine gardens with the help of spirit water, so the four famous mountains also produce some good quality spirit herbs every year.

In addition to hunting demons and ghosts during Zhao Shoushou's trip, spirit fruit trees, spirit medicine gardens and even spirit lakes were also one of his goals. In short, he hoped to harvest some good treasures.

After the ravages of demons and ghosts, the spiritual fruit tree and the spiritual medicine garden would not leave too many useful treasures, so his goal was naturally the spiritual lake that other monks did not pay much attention to.

Since Spirit Lake naturally breeds spirit fish, it is difficult for others to catch this cute little guy, but it is easy for him, especially when there are two majestic corsages behind him. mortar.

"Siming Mountain is blocked by three major formations. At present, the main forces of the demons and ghosts in the first two formations have basically been hunted down. Naturally, the heroes from all walks of life have dug the ground three feet. If you want to gain something, you can only venture into the third formation. Inside" Zhao Shoushou thought about it and felt that the danger was not too great.

Resolutely go from the northwest direction to the entrance and exit directly to the inside of the third formation. Of course, some preparations are still necessary before that.

"Siming Mountain is a second-level spiritual mountain. I don't know what it looks like after being harmed by this demon. Zhao will go and see it." After speaking, he didn't hesitate to step into the formation with the bronze medal as a guide.

Zhao Shoushou felt dizzy for a while and opened his eyes again, the surrounding environment has changed drastically. The bare mountains, dilapidated houses, blood stains everywhere, and the stench that hit his nose have completely ruined the place.

Of course, the sound of battles coming from not far away from time to time made him wake up instantly. In the small battlefield of Siming Mountain, although human monks had the upper hand, they still needed to fight desperately to kill the ghosts, so there was a slight possibility of success.

The battle on this small battlefield is even more brutal, so there is no possibility of escape between the two sides in this narrow place. Once confronted head-on, it will be a life-and-death battle scene.

"Secretly making a fortune is the most important thing, let's see how Lao Zhao unearths all the treasures in the ruins." Zhao Shoushou used all his strength to suppress his aura as much as possible.

"Big Fatty, Little Fatty, relying on your keen perception of the spiritual power of water, find out which direction we should go in order to reach the Spirit Lake as soon as possible?" After a while of instructions, the two first-order mid-grade cormorants swaggered go ahead.

The role of the two cormorants is not only to find the way to the spirit lake, but also to attract some ghosts with their aura.

And because they are not powerful in themselves, those who heard the news were naturally some ghosts of a slightly higher rank, and these guys who came to the door automatically would naturally become his dead souls under the sword.

"Quak quack quack" the two cormorants had absolutely no resistance to playing such a dangerous role, and they trusted Zhao Shoushou completely and unconditionally.

In fact, the trust and tacit understanding between spirit beasts and monks can only be established through long-term cooperation. For other monks, there are imprint restrictions, and this kind of tacit understanding may not be needed.

Not to mention these messy things, turning his eyes back to the battlefield where Siming Mountain is now, the facts proved that his judgment was correct.

In the face of two delicious blood food with weak cultivation and almost no threat, these ghosts are like cats smelling fishy. After about a cup of tea, the first ghost that is equivalent to the late stage of Qi refining has appeared .

This ghost just fit the appearance he had imagined. It was dressed in white, with white hair, its feet floating in the air, and a long tongue wrapped around its neck three times. It looked like a hanged ghost.
