Natural Fairy Species

Chapter 29: Cultivating Divine Consciousness

 The stars are fleeting.

 Ten feet away from the quiet room, insects and ants were crawling, and butterflies fluttered and landed on the flower stamens.

This picture was clearly reflected in Bai Zichen's mind, and it was as detailed as seeing it with his own eyes.

 It wasn’t until a hint of fatigue came that he took back his consciousness.

“The divine consciousness is really mysterious. It’s worthy of my hard work over the past three years, and I have spent most of my energy on the art of casting gods.”

 Three years, during the process of entering samadhi and falling asleep infinitely many times, Bai Zichen finally recently completely outlined the furnace of heaven and earth in the sea of ​​consciousness.

The great furnace of heaven and earth is completed, the sea of ​​consciousness is like a hole opening, and spiritual consciousness arises on its own.

 Photographic memory and looking inside oneself are only the most basic functions.

 If there is any movement within ten feet, and any monk is in the realm below Qi Refining Dzogchen, he can understand it with just a sweep of his spiritual consciousness.

 The most important point is that among the three levels of foundation building, spirit, energy and spirit, the level of spiritual consciousness that stumps the most people has been opened in advance.

 The difficulty of foundation building is directly reduced by half.

“The next step is to continue to use this picture of the tornado of heaven and earth in the sea of ​​consciousness as the foundation, and continue to refine it so that your own spiritual consciousness will continue to grow.”

Bai Zichen lifted the protective restrictions and opened the quiet room door.

“Although the art of casting gods is good, I can’t continue to invest so much time. With Qi refining cultivation, it will take several years to make the consciousness stronger, and the cost-effectiveness of practice is too low.”

“I’ve been sleeping all day in the past few years, and my cultivation has fallen behind. I’m going to replace it with a batch of pills in the past two days to make up for the progress.”

In three years, Bai Zichen only took the remaining four Qi-boosting pills and was promoted to the fifth level of Qi refining.

 It turns out that his suspected special physique is only useful when breaking through bottlenecks.

 Without the pill bonus, the cultivation speed has returned to the ordinary level of the three spiritual root qualifications.

However, this problem is easy to solve. Bai Zichen's current family contribution is enough to provide him with all the resources to cultivate to the perfection of Qi refining in one go.

“Fat Bai went to the caravan with his father. Chongwu was assigned a family task of collecting nectar last month, and he probably hasn’t come back yet.”

 “If you have nothing to do, let’s go to the family warehouse for a walk.”

Bai Zichen can somewhat understand why it is said that those who cultivate immortality are all people with cold nature.

Even Qi Refining monks, as long as they are still determined to live forever, it is normal for friends of the same clan not to see each other for a year and a half. When the cultivation is more advanced, we may be separated for several years or decades at a time.

　In addition to close relatives and family members, it is indeed difficult for immortal cultivators to have deep feelings for outsiders.

The Bai family's warehouse is located at the deepest part of Hanxiu Peak. The last time Bai Zichen came here was when the Ghost Spirit Sect invaded six years ago, and the clan members hid in the warehouse to escape.

Looking at this simple stone house, Bai Zichen's thoughts seemed to go back to the day when the fighting was fierce and corpses were everywhere.

It was also on that day that the veil of hypocrisy of the world of immortality in his impression was completely torn apart, allowing him to see the cruelty and bloodshed hidden underneath.

 Without the means to protect the road, how can one achieve immortality?

On a bamboo chair in front of the warehouse, an old man with a ruddy complexion was lying, holding a volume of idle books in his hand, shaking his head as he read.

“My father-in-law has invited me, my junior Bai Zichen, to come here today to exchange for what I need for my cultivation.”

Bai Zichen's consciousness passed by and he discovered that this old man was actually at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and he was about the same level as several elders.

However, the flow of mana in the body is stagnant and slow. It is probably because the meridians have suffered irreversible damage, which has affected the normal operation of the practice.

"Are you Bai Zichen? In the past few years, I have almost heard your name, and this is the first time I have met you."

 The old man threw the book away and looked at it with interest.

"Fifth level of Qi refining...this level of cultivation is not bad, but judging from your performance in the past few years, it is still a bit slow."

"But you are so calm. You have rewarded so many family contributions, but you haven't come even once. Bai Ling, that girl, exchanged all her contributions for mirror-breaking elixirs and qi-boosting pills. I heard that a few days ago You will reach the peak of the fifth level of Qi refining in just a few months. There are already people in the clan who are yin and yang, saying that you are just lucky for a moment, and the natural gap in your spiritual roots cannot be made up by a little bit of luck the day after tomorrow."

Bai Zichen smiled bitterly. He was not calm, but he was trapped by the magic of casting gods.

 In a month, he spends twenty days in deep sleep to restore his energy. Even if he wanted to refine the elixir, he wouldn't have that time.

“It’s just a matter of speed, let’s see who can break through the late stage of Qi refining first.”

As for breaking through the bottleneck in the later stage, Bai Zichen is still very confident in his suspected spirit body, and even the inheritance stone tablet of the Naihe Sect has been rated as top quality.

　　"Good ambition! Take your family token and come in with me."

The old man took out his family token and cast a burst of magic power upward. The outer layer of the warehouse spread out, revealing a passageway for one person.

 Bai Zichen also dug out the family token representing his identity from the storage bag, activated it with magic power, and a layer of faint fluorescence lit up, and successfully entered the warehouse.

"The head of the family has an order. You and Bai Ling are not restricted. Anything in the warehouse can be exchanged for as long as you make a contribution from the family."

The old man waved his hands, and the cabinets in the warehouse opened automatically, revealing a dazzling array of items.

Bai Zichen had a clear goal and walked straight towards the two rows of cabinets marked with pills.

“Qi-Building Pills, Purple Ginseng Pills, Barrier-Breaking Pills, Heart-clearing Pills, and Blood-Activating Pills… There are really not many kinds of pills in the clan. Many pills have to be bought from Qingfengmenfang Market, and I don’t have the ability to refine them myself.”

“Old man, I want ten bottles of qi-boosting pills, five bottles of purple ginseng pills, and two bottles of blood-activating pills.”

Bai Zichen quickly selected the elixirs he needed. Qi-Building Pills and Purple Ginseng Pills were used to enhance cultivation during and after Qi refining respectively. The Blood-activating Pills were mainly used for physical cultivation, which could strengthen Qi and blood and temper the physical body. .

As for the barrier-breaking pill, just ignore it. If there is a small bottleneck in the later stage of Qi refining, should the pill be used to help?

 “You don’t need to change to a bottle of Barrier Breaking Pill?”

 The old man frowned slightly, with confusion.

"But it's up to you. Anyway, there are several bottles of barrier-breaking pills in the warehouse all year round... After taking ten bottles of Qi-Building Pills, it's almost reached the limit. If you take it again, the effect will decline quickly. This is the purple ginseng pill, you are sure you haven't exchanged it It’s too early… Even if it’s contained in a jade bottle, the medicine will only be effective for ten years at most.”

 “Please let me settle my contribution.” Bai Zichen smiled but did not answer.

"Hey, it's up to you... If I had so many contributions from my family when I was young, I would be able to do whatever I want! No need to exchange every time, just one or two... How can I be like you, with ten bottles and ten bottles, and all the inventory in the warehouse? Cleared by you!"

“One hundred points of Buqi Pills, fifty points of Huoxue Pills, and two hundred Purple Ginseng Pills make a total contribution of two thousand one hundred points. After deduction, you still have four hundred points left.”

The old man took Bai Zichen's family token and touched it upwards. The fluorescent numbers jumped and turned into four hundred.

 At the same time, type the exchange information into a jade slip, corresponding to both sides.

Bai Zichen contentedly put a large number of elixirs into his storage bag. Looking at the empty elixir counter, he felt as happy as emptying a shopping cart.

“Old man, I wonder how much I need to contribute in exchange for a black bamboo sword?”

Before leaving the warehouse, Bai Zichen glanced at the Feijian counter and asked curiously.
