Practice begins with a fisherman

Is it because there was no pure water attribute monk who passed by before, or the special effect of the "Congealing Water Technique" passed down from ancient times that he practiced.

This is not aimless. Although the one-yuan heavy water by-product in the cultivation process is not expensive, it can barely be regarded as a special water-attribute spiritual treasure.

If it wasn't pure to a certain degree, how could one drop of heavy water be condensed in the process of refining spiritual energy?Maybe his guess was close to the right answer.

Now Zhao Shoushou is standing in the center of the lake, using his spiritual consciousness and the water-attribute spiritual power in his dantian to form a special vibration, searching for the possible source of the treasure.

Fortunately, this place is located on the outskirts, and the nearby treasures have already been scrambled by the first wave of monks, so it is unlikely that any monks will pass by here for a while, otherwise this strange action will definitely cause some unnecessary troubles.

"The formation spirit fell, the cave collapsed, and the self-destruct formation was activated." The battle between the six Jindan ancestors and the formation spirit in the main hall also had a result, but at the moment the formation spirit was about to dissipate, they took themselves as their own. Nutrients activated the self-destruction process of the large array, and the entire cave will disappear completely at that time, and the monks present will naturally have nowhere to escape.

Seeing this scene, the six Jindan stage monks rushed into the hall, took away some of the treasures placed outside, and then left at a faster speed. Saying the same is not an easy thing to bear.

"Where to run, don't show up quickly." Zhao Shoushou, who is also in the middle of the pocket-sized lake, has also noticed the existence of the treasure. After digging for a while, the three nails Small and large spars appeared in its hands.

"The famous crystal stone, with the help of this treasure, isn't the second floor of the foundation building just around the corner?" Zhao Shoushou didn't care about the fact that the joy had already been spread everywhere, and there were cracks and cracks everywhere, so he woke him up completely, and he didn't even have time to check There is also the existence of the crystal stone, which is already heading towards the exit.

The inside of Jindan Cave Mansion began to be damaged, and there was also a clear feeling outside. The first-entry formation and short-distance teleportation formation that were opened once every ten days have disappeared at the same time, leaving only a gap as deep as hundreds of feet, like a gap on the ground. An ugly scar.

Chapter 233 Jindan Cave Mansion Self-Destruction

"What kind of accident happened? Could it be that the cave is about to collapse?"

"A certain person has been waiting here for several months and has gained very little. What should I do with this star?"

Some greedy members of the "Vulture Group" are obviously reluctant to give up the current opportunity to make a fortune without much risk. Even in the face of such shaky movements, some monks still want to Take your last chance to grab one.

All the monks understand that since Jindan Cave Mansion has undergone such a large-scale change, there must be a change in the core position, and the monks who persevered until the last wave of escape must have gained a lot of money. As long as one or two of them are successfully intercepted, Maybe there is no need to worry about the resources for practice in the next few years.

It's a pity that they didn't know that such a violent movement came from several Jindanqi ancestors, and the first batch of ancestors who came from all directions appeared.

The core formation started the self-destruct procedure, but in desperation, they just obtained some treasures in a hurry. The depression in their hearts was already on the verge of erupting. These members of the "Vulture Group" who were still reluctant to leave at the last moment will naturally become their venting anger first goal.

These Jindan stage monks are not really lonely, or are the elders of various sects, or the patriarchs of some big families. Although they will not lower their bodies to deliberately chase and kill these vultures, if they have the opportunity to kill one or two, it is considered as a way of life. The juniors behind lead the way.

Therefore, the consequences of the remaining ten or so vultures who still "stick to their posts" are naturally tragic. Except for one or two lucky ones, almost all of them will perish here.

"What a group of cowardly and greedy scum, and they are still reluctant to leave at this time, how can Mr. Cao bypass you?" The first one to appear was the monk surnamed Cao who was trying to break the formation.

Originally, he used some small tricks to send one of his spirit beasts into the hall first, in order to gain some extra benefits, but he didn't expect to die first at the moment the self-destruct formation was activated.

Although this spirit beast is only a second-rank top-grade spirit beast, it has a trace of the blood of the ancient spirit beast Phoenix, which is quite rare, and it can be said to be a heavy loss.

Moreover, in the process of fighting for the treasures among the Golden Core monks, they also gained very little. In the end, only one magic weapon in the shape of a long whip was in their pockets, which was far from reaching their inner thoughts.

Therefore, this group of more than a dozen "vultures" naturally became the best targets for him to vent his anger. With just a random blow, at least a few monks in the middle and late stages of foundation establishment exploded to death.

"Senior, spare your life, senior, spare your life, we are not members of the vulture group, we are just waiting to meet our fellow disciples in the cave."

"The wind blows, the spirit pill is precious, and the price of the spirit weapon is higher. For the sake of life, both can be thrown away."

"Don't want to kill the ancestor, the younger one is the blood of the returning family. I was lucky enough to see the true face of the ancestor 20 years ago."

The "vulture" monks who survived for a while can be said to be eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing their own magical powers. Of course, the first choice is naturally 36 tricks and escape.

In short, under the deterrence of the Jindan Patriarch, these greedy members of the vulture group finally dispersed, which saved the first group of foundation-building monks who followed closely.

There are about 20 monks in the foundation establishment period, nearly thirteen in the late foundation establishment period, five in the middle foundation establishment period, and only two including Zhao Shoushou in the early foundation establishment period.

Fortunately, at this critical juncture, some monks who were highly cultivated and obviously gained a lot of money did not have time or were too lazy to argue with him, so the journey was quite smooth. Timing is a little tricky.

If it was just a simple pothole, it would not be difficult for him. After being promoted to Foundation Establishment, even though he did not have a flying spirit weapon, he still would not lack some basic flying abilities.

This is where the short-distance teleportation array was originally arranged. The teleportation array has disappeared, but a special reverse force still exists.

In other words, when Zhao Shoushou tried to fly upwards, there would be a special force pulling him in the opposite direction, and the closer the force was to the entrance of the cave, the greater it would be, which was proportional to the rising state.

"It will take a certain amount of time to escape by relying solely on one's own strength, but the cave walls on both sides are the best choice for borrowing strength." After observing for a while, Zhao Shoushou had already made a decision in his mind.

Of course, once the second choice of leverage is used, it will completely lose the temperament of a cultivator, and become like an ugly big toad jumping around, but these are obviously not the factors that affect his choice.

What's more, at the moment when Jindan Cave Mansion was about to be destroyed, no monk would have the time and energy to laugh at him, and saving his life was the best strategy.

"The power of the water spirit comes from the bottom to the top." What Zhao Shoushou performed was the most common ascending technique, which mainly used the recoil between the power of the water spirit and the ground to achieve the purpose of flying.

This simple and crude ascension technique has two fatal shortcomings, one is that it consumes a lot of mana in the dantian, and the other is the slow ascension speed.

However, in the current situation where there is no other choice, Zhao Shoushou can only make do with it. About halfway there, Zhao Shoushou has already started to fly to the left and right sides, and his shape is almost like a big toad jumping left and right. exactly the same.

Fortunately, everything is effective, even slightly faster than the original simple ascension technique. After about a stick of incense, Zhao Shoushou successfully appeared near the entrance of the cave.

No one will know how powerful the self-destruction of the third-tier high-grade formation is, but it must be the most correct choice to stay away at the first time. He has always put self-protection as his top priority, so naturally he will not continue to delay , has fled in a flash.

"Boom" About a quarter of an hour later, Zhao Shoushou, who had escaped a hundred miles away, suddenly made a false appearance, and was almost overwhelmed by the power carried by the formation after it self-destructed. After calming down for a while, he immediately fled forward. Don't dare to be careless or fluke.

"Fortunately, I was so smart and escaped at the first time, otherwise it is still uncertain whether I can come out. I am extremely lucky. It is worthwhile to have such a rich harvest." Patting the storage bag on his waist, he looked very nervous satisfy.

Two days later, after rushing all the way back to the desert oasis, Zhao Shoushou had only time to give an order. Zhao Shoushou had already entered the cave, and was practicing in seclusion, trying to break through his current level of cultivation. He didn't even have time to test the harvest in the storage bag of the foundation-builder cultivator who fell in his hands. .

The second-tier low-grade crystal beads are similar to the soil-garrison beads obtained during the Qi refining period, but they are of a higher level, and contain a certain amount of original power, which is of great help to water attribute monks.

It is only necessary to refine three crystal beads, and the promotion to the second floor of the foundation is naturally easy. If the original power contained in it is sufficient, it may even be possible to move forward.

In addition, this trip to Jindan Cave Mansion, although I have not gone deep into the cave mansion, except for some serious injuries at the beginning of entering the cave, the journey is relatively smooth, but some deep feelings still need to be sorted out two.

Chapter 234

If one can comprehend something from it smoothly, it will be of infinite benefit to his future practice path and the improvement of his state of mind.

Another point is that after continuous fighting and various consumption along the way, the mana and consciousness in the dantian also urgently need to be restored. Only after everything has reached its peak state is the best time to attack the second floor of the foundation.

To put it bluntly, there is not much difference between the Qi refining period and the foundation building period. The former is to transform the vaporized mana into a liquid state, while the latter is trying to condense the liquid into a solid state, only to continuously strengthen the energy of the mana.

The mana in the dantian of the monks on the first floor of the foundation has already shown a liquid state, but it is barely reached, and even a small part of it is still in a special state between gas and liquid. What Zhao Shoushou needs to do now is to truly transform it into a liquid state , and strengthen the energy in every drop of liquid mana as much as possible.

That is to say, every drop of equal amount of mana should burst out as much combat power as possible, which is the so-called solid foundation.

On this point, Zhao Shoushou has been insisting on this point since he embarked on the road of cultivation. This is also the magic weapon for him to save himself from dangers repeatedly as a casual cultivator without other help.

Of course, after being successfully promoted to the second floor of Foundation Establishment, it will take enough time to refine the longbow spiritual weapon that he snatched. This is his first real and solid second-level low-grade spiritual weapon, so he has to pay attention to it. For future practice The importance of the road is self-evident.

"My lord has already been promoted to the foundation building stage, and he is still busy every day without any free time. What right does Shui Zhihua have to continue to be lazy?" Shui Zhihua, who is in charge of taking care of the oasis on Linghu Lake, is also very touched.

In addition to taking care of the spiritual field, elixir garden, and spiritual plant every day, he also chose a location with the most spiritual power to meditate and practice, which was beyond Zhao Shoushou's expectations.

Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care. Attacking Foundation Establishment without the help of Foundation Establishment Dan was not a decision that every monk had the guts to make.

Even if Shui Zhihua was lucky enough to be promoted to Foundation Establishment in the future, Zhao Shoushou still has the confidence to suppress him under the influence of the Blood Soul Seal. This is the confidence brought by strength.

When Zhao Shoushou's mana and consciousness in his dantian returned to their peak state, it was already a month later. On this day, Zhao Shoushou opened his eyes and a flash of light flashed, and he took out three crystal beads from his storage bag.

"The second-order low-grade crystal beads are of great help to a certain person. The cave of the Jindan stage ancestor is really full of treasures." Zhao Shoushou's eyes flashed a longing look.

In fact, this is just his misunderstanding. Although there are many treasures in Master Hammer Front's cave, one is that he has benefited from his status as a third-rank high-grade craftsman, and the other is that he is alone and does not need extra expenses, so he can accumulate countless treasures. few treasures.

In fact, for most of the ancestors of the golden elixir, they are actually in a state of making ends meet. Obviously this is his misunderstanding, and it does not affect their yearning for condensed golden elixir.

There is a small stone layer wrapped around the crystal bead. To refine it, you first need to peel it off layer by layer like an egg shell. Of course, you need to be extremely vigilant not to be careless and damage its core origin.

During the refining process, it needs to be wrapped with mana, and it is refined layer by layer to form a perfect cycle with the dantian.

This is not too difficult for a monk in the foundation-building period. After about a cup of tea, all the preparations have been completed, except that there are three thumb-sized cyan boulders between his hands. When it flows over it, a trace of original power disappears with it.

It will take at least three years for the three crystal beads to be refined, which also means that Zhao Shoushou's retreat time is very long.

Fortunately, after being promoted to Foundation Establishment, he can already officially Bigu, and he only needs enough mana to offset his body's need for food, so there is no need to continue preparing some Bigu Pills.

The power of the original source is well-deserved, and they are still a little different from the normal refined spiritual power. Whenever Zhao Shoushou refines a ray of original power and enters the dantian, in addition to the increase in mana, there is still a little special ambiguity. Enter Zhao Shoushou's dantian.

However, this weak dense air has no effect on the improvement of the cultivation base, but whenever it is integrated into the dantian, Zhao Shoushou can clearly feel that the foundation of the cultivation base seems to be making up for it.

This kind of special feeling seemed to exist, which made him dare not believe too much. As for the effect that he could play in the future practice process, he did not dare to have too much expectation.

Each crystal bead seems to be the size of a fingernail, but because it is a solid, it is not easy to refine it. Even if everything goes well, it will take a year. Fortunately, three to five years is not considered as a foundation-building monk. It's too long-term, not to mention that when you immerse your mind in cultivation and you can notice that your cultivation is improving bit by bit, time will disappear almost without notice.

The only change may be that before he knew it, the desert oasis had ushered in a small change. At that time, Zhao Shoushou was newly promoted to build the foundation, and he once beheaded a second-level low-grade sand lizard head-on to save a Lian from the Shen family. Late Qi monk.

Since this year, this monk from the Shen family has not only recovered from his injuries, but has reached the tenth level of Qi training. He began to lead the family's spirit camel caravan, and once again crossed the desert between Anzhou and Xianzhou. One or two breaks.

Under their propaganda, the desert oasis has gradually become an inevitable choice for many small-scale caravans to rest and reorganize. Under the management of Shui Zhihua in the late stage of gas refining, they can also earn thousands of low-grade spirit stones every year, which can be regarded as a Not a bad start.

Even opening up a spiritual field to plant a special kind of purple leaf grass specially used to feed the spiritual camels can be said to be quite fruitful. Of course, all this can be successfully completed under the awe of Zhao Shoushou, a monk in the foundation period.

Otherwise, how could these caravan and part-time bandit monks honestly hand in the spirit stones?Even as the reputation of the desert oasis spread, some merchants also wanted to rent some shops here, but they had not received Zhao Shoushou's approval, and it had not been really implemented yet.

One month, one year, two years, time passed by little by little. It was not until the middle of the second year, when the third crystal bead was more than half refined, that Zhao Shoushou successfully broke through the bottleneck and advanced to the second floor of foundation building.

This breakthrough did not cause much disturbance. After being promoted to Foundation Establishment, he has been diligently cultivating for more than ten years. Although he lacks a panacea to help him, his entry is slightly inferior. In addition, he has three crystal beads to help him. The breakthrough is also said to be a matter of course.

The second floor of the foundation building is as mentioned above, except for the complete transformation of the spiritual power in the dantian, there is no other too obvious difference. Naturally, a breakthrough of a small bottleneck will not cause changes in the natural celestial phenomena, so it can be said to be calm , but it is not the best time to go out.

Chapter 235

On the one hand, it takes a lot of time to consolidate the cultivation level after each breakthrough, and on the other hand, there is still half of the crystal beads that have not been refined yet, so there is no conflict between the two to complement each other.

After refining the crystal beads to advance to the second level of foundation building, the quality of the mana in the dantian seems to have improved, and the amount of spiritual power absorbed by each refinement has also increased to a certain extent, just like a man with a growing appetite. Like a monster.

Half a year later, under Zhao Shoushou's unremitting efforts, the remaining half of the crystal beads were finally refined. When the last ray of original power disappeared in the dantian, his eyes that had been closed for a long time finally opened. also exists.

"With the help of the three crystal beads, Zhao has finally taken a step forward. In the future, he will find a way to exchange for some panacea. If not for such aptitude, how can he hope to condense the golden pill?" said At this point, Zhao Shoushou's eyes flashed a look of yearning.

After going through Master Hammer Feng's trip to the cave and witnessing the majesty of the Golden Core Stage with his own eyes, his heart became more firm than ever.

Although his Dao heart has never been shaken before, it is really strengthened now, and maybe only after personal experience can he have a real concept.

"I spent nearly a month in Jindan Cave Mansion. After returning, because I was eager to break through the bottleneck and improve my cultivation level, I never counted the spoils, and I don't know what treasures are in the storage bag of that monk." At that time, Zhao Shoushou remembered the foundation-building monk who had fallen into his hands with poor combat effectiveness.

Until now, he still has some doubts, what kind of opportunistic means did this poor guy get promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage, and what is the purpose of the cultivator behind him?

The key point is that this longbow-shaped spiritual weapon that can carry out long-distance attacks is simply made for him. Although the green leaf-shaped treasure used to hide his body shape and aura is only a top-tier one, it is not an extraordinary one.

Thinking about the situation at that time carefully now, Zhao Shoushou has a bad feeling, always feeling that this is a monk with a lot of background.

"Could it be the direct descendants of some Jindan Patriarch?" Zhao Shoushou's guess was still far from the truth, but it was almost the same.

"Crash!" With the opening of the storage bag, a pile of messy objects appeared on the ground, far exceeding the normal storage of a monk.

Among them, the most eye-catching one is naturally a palm-sized alchemy furnace with two ears, and there are several alchemy furnaces carved on it to perfectly revitalize flood dragons.

In addition, there are some large and small jade bottles and special jade boxes specially used to seal precious elixir. Other than that, there are only some spiritual materials that are obviously obtained from the Golden Core Cave.

Of course, the largest number in the storage bag is almost a thousand, special bows and arrows specially matched with longbows, and some other jade slips are also indispensable.

"Is this guy a good alchemist? So he robbed a rich alchemist?" Zhao Shoushou looked in disbelief.

Every alchemist, no matter whether he is a casual cultivator or a family or sect, will not take risks easily, because his skills can bring a steady stream of spirit stones, which are enough to support his own cultivation.

Alchemist is also a relatively special existence in the cultivation world. Almost all monks will not easily provoke them, even some murderous evil cultivators. After all, no monk guarantees that he will not take any elixir in his life .

Although the cultivators who fell into Zhao Shoushou's hands were not high in cultivation and their fighting power was pitifully low, but if they had a good alchemy talent, some people were willing to cultivate them vigorously.

In fact, he didn't know that when this unknown alchemist fell, a second-level high-grade spiritual mountain aroused the anger of a foundation-building family. Mieji did not leave any definite traces, and someone had already killed him.

Even this large Foundation Establishment family is still sending some Foundation Establishment period monks to search for traces of its possible existence.

After all, this unknown alchemist has a lot of treasures that the family needs in his storage bag, and the loss would be unbearable if he couldn't find it.

There are always people who are happy and others who are worried, but Zhao Shoushou is in ecstasy, almost dizzy from the treasure that fell from the sky.

Compared with these treasures, the unusual longbow-shaped spiritual weapon that was cherished before seems nothing. Among them, the most valuable one is undoubtedly the alchemy furnace engraved with the word "Huowei".

Alchemy furnaces, refining furnaces and other such treasures are the most difficult to refine, consume the most spiritual materials, and have the highest value among the special spiritual weapons of the same level. The rare ones can be called the treasures of the town clan, and they are treasures that must not be given up .

In other words, there is a second-tier alchemy furnace and family alchemy inheritance. If there is an opportunity in the future, you can continue to cultivate a new alchemist. If you lose the above-mentioned treasures, it will obviously be destructive to the development of a family's alchemy business. of.

"The Chen Family Alchemist's Introductory Manual, the Chen Family's Alchemy Formula Encyclopedia, and there is actually a second-order low-grade True Yanhuo." The most ingenious thing is that this alchemist actually carries all the alchemy inheritance with him.

This especially made him feel a little bit surprised. For monks from some sects and families, not to mention inheritance, even some exercises are stored in the cave.

The second-tier low-grade Zhenyan fire is not a high-grade product, but it is superior in the stable transmission of firepower. It only needs to consume a certain amount of mana to support it. It is a treasure that is no less than an alchemy furnace.

Of course, the inheritance of some exercises related to the refining of elixir is naturally precious, and each of the treasures discovered by these alchemists during their practice is of great value.

"It's a pity that Zhao is a pure water attribute monk. Otherwise, with these treasures in hand, wouldn't it open a path to become an alchemist?" Although these treasures are precious to Zhao Shoushou, they are a bit tasteless and can only be traded in the future a chip.

The best alchemists in the cultivation world are generally fire-attribute monks, who can accurately grasp the temperature of the fire and detect the state of the elixir, followed by the wood-attribute. In the world of self-cultivation dominated by the law, water attribute monks are obviously miserable existences.

Maybe some extremely talented water attribute monks can also become excellent alchemists, but the hard work and price they need to pay is far greater than that of other attribute monks.

Zhao Shoushou, who is currently focusing all his energy on cultivation, will have no choice but to become a water attribute alchemist.

Among these numerous trophies, what he values ​​the most are the remaining bottles and cans, most of which are already refined second-level low-grade spirit pills and some spirit herbs, which are suitable for the current Zhao Shoushou Taking it, if everything goes well, his cultivation will be in a stage of rapid growth in the next period of time.
