Can Scientific Cultivators Penetrate into the Second Dimension

It is still difficult to cultivate the Tao with the human body, let alone the genus of vegetation.

During the long years of Master Tianzhu's cultivation, it has never seen a second existence with a bamboo body other than itself. You must know that although it is difficult for goblins and others to cultivate, their longevity is tenth of that of human monks in the same realm. Even so, Master Tianzhu still hadn't seen even one of his kind when he died.

Under the uncontrollable loneliness, Master Tianzhu chose to create "similar" by himself.

Seeing this, Lin Xiu felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. The words engraved on the bamboo slips were no longer just a record, but a diary—a "person" who had the same thoughts and took actions just like himself. Similar" memory.

What is the same is not the species, but the thinking.

The same loneliness drives us to take the same actions. Only in this way can we find our own belonging in this strange world, but Lin Xiu is luckier, and Master Tianzhu is more unfortunate.

"The Art of Enlightenment" is a magic technique born by Master Tianzhu in order to endow it with spiritual wisdom after enduring unbearably long and lonely years.

Master Tianzhu hoped that through this spell, he could awaken other people of the same kind like himself who was once awakened by the "Rhyme of the Great Dao", but the "Day" is so lofty and insignificant that Master Tianzhu is nothing more than a Nascent Soul. Touching the slightest bit, even if Shouyuan spent the rest of his life, he couldn't complete it, so he could only record all this when he was dying.

It was also after seeing this place that Lin Xiu understood why there was nothing else in that cave, and there were only bamboos all over the mountains. To outsiders, those bamboos were bamboos, but to Master Tianzhu, those bamboos were its kin ——Those future beings who can accompany it to practice, laugh and share together.

And that copy of "Strong Bamboo Method" was also kept by Master Tianzhu for the sake of his fellow clans that he enlightened in the future, so it was so weird in the eyes of human monks.

The years have worn away everything, and the loneliness and powerlessness of the past have disappeared in history, leaving only this empty text passed down to this day, falling into the hands of another person with similar thoughts.

This time, it will shine with a new light.

205. Five years

In order to be able to create a second "bamboo" with spiritual wisdom besides himself, Master Tianzhu made every attempt he could think of, which can be seen from "The Art of Touching".

It's like pouring a huge amount of spiritual energy into a bamboo plant; preaching to the bamboo forest for tens of hundreds of years; cutting off and splitting the spiritual consciousness into the bamboo...

However, in terms of results, all these attempts ended in failure.

The bamboo infused with spiritual energy has become a rare spiritual material. Facing the bamboo forest that has been taught Taoism for hundreds of years, it is the same as before. Only the attempt to divide the spiritual consciousness into the bamboo has achieved some results, but the birth is indeed not like the master of Tianzhu. The general complete sanity, but a consciousness that is incomplete even with instincts.

When I saw this, Lin Xiu was still a little hard to understand at first. After all, according to the general process, "differentiation of spiritual consciousness" should be a feasible way. After all, Mr. Qian once mentioned this to himself. A puppet can only be shaped with a divided consciousness.

Continuing to look down with doubts, Lin Xiu realized where Master Tianzhu made a mistake.

Bamboo is a "thing" rather than a "person".

Bamboo itself has no thoughts, and even the only growth instinct can't be conveyed by thoughts. This is too obscure and complicated for a bamboo, but if the object of shaping is a "person", then in the process of dividing the consciousness In the process, the instincts that some people should have will naturally be brought into it, so there is such a difference.

For example, even a newborn baby will cry and eat because of hunger, but bamboo will not.

Master Tianzhu's "The Art of Touching" is stuck on this last point. What he pursues is not another "Master Tianzhu" with a different body, nor is it a puppet attendant who only obeys his orders. It is a family member who can communicate, share and laugh together, all of which cannot be done by a "bamboo".

Therefore, even though "The Art of Touching" has been deduced to the last step, Master Tianzhu still failed to fulfill his wish until the end of his life.

After learning about this flaw in "The Art of Enlightenment", Lin Xiu also knew how to make up for it.

Surprisingly simple, because Lin Xiu has mastered this method right now: become obsessed.

From Ying to Keqing, from Gan Yu to Noelle, Lin Xiu has never been troubled by this problem. This obsession that stuck Master Tianzhu's voice seems to have disappeared for Lin Xiu.

As far as Master Tianzhu is concerned, he can only fantasize in his mind about the fellow who can be awakened by him, but he cannot further give it a more specific "setting" on the basis of this fantasy, because if he does that, even Even if it succeeds, it can only be the second "Tianzhu Master" - it can't find a second object that can be used as a reference.

But for Lin Xiu, the memories and obsessions in his mind are all his references. He wished for more resources and channels for them to appear in this world, so how could he do it for them? trouble?

For no reason, a huge sense of happiness came to my mind.

Compared to Master Tianzhu, Lin Xiu is indeed lucky. Even if he has similar thoughts, at least he is not really facing this strange world "alone"... If he didn't have this obsession, what would he become now? Sample?

Assimilated by this world and become a native cultivator?

Because you can't stand loneliness, you give up on yourself early?

Or is it driven by a deeper obsession to become an unscrupulous evil cultivator for the purpose of "going home"?

In any case, this bad result did not appear, and I just had to walk step by step along the steps under my feet.

After sorting out his thoughts, Lin Xiu returned his attention to "The Art of Enlightenment".

After the biggest flaw among them was solved by "Perseverance", Lin Xiu has already figured out how to practice this technique, but now is not the time.

On the one hand, there is no suitable object for "attunement", and on the other hand, the cultivation level has not reached the minimum requirements.

According to Master Tianzhu's description, it is also "attestation", but there is an extremely huge difference between attributing dead objects and living creatures. To enchant living creatures, you only need to start and do a "guidance". The spiritual thinking of the living creature itself will slowly evolve along this "guidance", and eventually it will evolve into the appearance of the desired "guidance" to the greatest extent.

But if the target of enlightenment is a dead object, what needs to be done is to create a consciousness that does not exist from scratch.

In a sense, this is somewhat similar to the "Nuwa made man" in the mythology before Lin Xiu crossed. Lin Xiu in the late base period.

In Lin Xiu's estimate, even if it is a little simpler to enlighten living creatures, he can only try to cultivate after he has formed a golden core. At that time, he can try his hand on some small animals first, and wait When he arrived at Jindan, he was already able to support a flying boat by himself, so he didn't have to worry about having no place to put these enlightened little things.

With a beautiful fantasy about this future scene, Lin Xiu carefully stored "The Art of Enlightenment" in the Qiankun bag next to his body, making up his mind that he would never leave his body like the Xihe Sword, and then took out the "Five-Color God Mud" "And the "God's Eye", which was [-]% completed before, began the final step of processing.

……

After Kun Tongshan and his party, Lin Xiu's life became very peaceful.

In addition to spending three hours a day on "Tianhe Hidden Sword Jue", when I have free time, I take out "The Art of Enlightenment" and look through it, combining the second edition of "Second Revitalization Art" with "Persistence into Transformation" "Try to push out the third version.

Otherwise, practice the newly acquired "Qingyuanshu" to see how to use your [-]% wood-type spiritual roots. Once you have a whim, you will take Ying and Noelle to the mine together, and then take out a bunch of them. Magical instruments of varying quality opened the "weapon pool" to harvest leeks.

Sometimes I also beat Qunyu Mountain with Aqing Ningguang to lay a good foundation for the later "Qunyu Pavilion". After all, intelligence work still needs to be done well.

Be it spiritual stones or exercises, some needed materials have either already been acquired or are being collected through the channels of the Chixin League. If there is no reason to go out, Lin Xiu is also happy to live on Qunyu Mountain and cultivate his three acres of land. subdivision.

In this way, another five years passed in a flash.

206. Jiupin Golden Elixir 114k recommendation

Compared with the past, today is a bit special.

It's not about what kind of festival is today. For cultivators, apart from sect or family ceremonies, it basically has nothing to do with the concept of "holiday". Sometimes, I made a special trip to call people out to celebrate, and then let them go back to retreat, right?

Let’s not say that this kind of thing is impossible. If someone really does this, they may not be able to see the sun the next day. This can already be regarded as breaking the path of people. In the eyes of monks who pursue the way, the nature can be worse than cutting off people’s wealth. many times.

The special thing about this day is that Lin Xiu made a breakthrough.

After 13 years of painstaking practice, after consuming half of the spirit stone and aura reserves in the spirit mine, it is finally a matter of course to break through the fake elixir from the late stage of foundation establishment, which is only one step away from the golden elixir.

Not only that, but this is also Lin Xiu's breakthrough in "Proving the Tao with Strength" in the middle stage of Qi training, and finally broke through the realm not by "drawing the sword", but by his own efforts, even if it is only a small realm, even if this small realm There is no barrier in the realm, even in the eyes of Gu Xiu, there is no such realm, but it also means that Lin Xiu has worked hard, doesn't it?

On this day, Lin Xiu can hold his head high and announce to everyone: I, Lin Xiu, can achieve what I have achieved today, all thanks to my own hard work—Xihe sword, come!

Whoops, far away.

After the cultivation base successfully broke through to the fake pill, as the mana in the body grew to the limit that it could hold at the moment, the coverage of the spiritual consciousness also increased, and finally, under the waiting of Lin Xiu's full expectation, it was fixed at the 330 three degrees that could cover the whole body. The range of Zhang Jiuchi, as for the straight-line distance...99 Zhang Jiuchi.

"What a fool! This is it!"

After confirming that his spiritual consciousness had been expanded to the limit and there was no way to go any further, Lin Xiu almost couldn't help but face the result that was enough to make a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder collapse.

This consciousness is just like fighting against yourself. It would be best if you can reach a thousand feet. It means that Lin Xiu has been able to formally contact the "Tianhe Sword Code", which is used by Tianhe masters to suppress five people. Otherwise, nine hundred and ninety-nine feet would be fine, and Lin Xiu could simply give up, but it is nine hundred and ninety-nine feet—a level that seems to be worth a try, but he is not sure about it.

In desperation, Lin Xiu could only put this matter aside for the time being, and instead focused his attention on himself.

As a realm that doesn't even exist in ancient cultivation, the situation of fake alchemy monks is a bit embarrassing. The mana in their bodies has already overflowed to the limit, unless it is like practicing Qi to break through the foundation and liquefy the gaseous spiritual power into mana again. The golden pill that solidifies liquid mana into a solid state, otherwise it is impossible to advance in this realm.

In this case, although the fake alchemy cultivator is stronger than the late foundation establishment stage, the range of strength is relatively limited. There doesn't seem to be much difference in the late stage of the base, they are all existences that can't be close and get hit in seconds.

But if the combat power is excluded, there is still a big difference between the fake alchemy and the later stage of foundation establishment in terms of the progress of the practice. After all, this is the reason why the "false alchemy" is divided into the realm of the "false alchemy".

Different from the embarrassing situation of "looking at the mountain and running a horse to death" when facing the Golden Core realm in the later stage of Foundation Establishment, the fake core monks have reached the requirement of breaking through the Golden Core regardless of their mana or spiritual consciousness, and they are only short of being able to jump into the fish with just one kick Longmen, from an ordinary foundation-building cultivator, has become an existence with the exclusive title of "real person" Jindan.

And this finishing touch is the "inner demon".

Regarding the inner demon of breaking through the golden core, Lin Xiu has heard it more than once from the mouths of the golden cores on Xixiu Mountain in the past five years. And Ying Shuzhu was the most enthusiastic, almost answering every question about the alchemy experience that these ordinary foundation-building monks couldn't ask for.

Coupled with the experience provided by Xiong Ronghai, a late-stage Golden Core monk, even if he hasn't really come into contact with it, he has already established a relatively complete understanding of Lin Xiu, the "inner demon" who has broken through the Golden Core.

Different from ordinary heart demons, the heart demons of the foundation-building monks who break through the golden core have to add "robbery" at the end, and the full name is "heart demon robbery".

According to the opinions of the golden elixirs on Xiongxin Mountain, the preconditions for the alchemy of the ancient monks are far from being "simple" like recent cultivation, that is, full of mana and spiritual consciousness, but they must search for various treasures from all over the world. Some are obtained from monsters, some are picked in dangerous places, and then a furnace of "Golden Elixir" is refined with all kinds of efforts, and they can be swallowed together to try to break through.

To be honest, Lin Xiu was a little speechless when he first heard these old stories. After all, the process is too complicated. After finally reaching this stage of cultivation, the distance breakthrough is only a close kick, but this kick is divided into many kicks. If you let the irritable ones not explode on the spot?

However, unlike what Lin Xiu had imagined, when talking about these old stories, Yan Hanhai showed envy on his face. Jin Dan also reacted similarly, and only Xiong Ronghai was relatively flat, but he also said: "If Xiong has a choice, he would rather go on the road of Guxiu's alchemy."

Puzzled, when Lin Xiu asked why, Xiong Ronghai asked back: "Fellow Daoist Lin, do you know why my Chixin Alliance has built hundreds of foundations, but there are only a few golden cores?"

Seeing Lin Xiu's expression that had already reacted a little, Xiong Ronghai nodded slightly.

"Yes, it is due to the difference in the method of forming alchemy. Although the method of forming alchemy in ancient times is very complicated and unusual, and even divides into nine-rank golden elixir according to the amount and quality of the heavenly materials and earth treasures used, but even It is the worst ninth-grade golden elixir, its alchemy rate is as high as [-]%, and it is not like a close method, even if you prepare more, the rate of success is less than [-]%, and sometimes even reaches the level of [-]/[-]."

"Not only that, the strength of those who formed the top-grade golden elixir with the ancient cultivation method is far beyond ordinary, and they can almost fight across the border. .”

Under Xiong Ronghai's emotional tone, Lin Xiu also recalled the "Qi Refining Method" he had come into contact with in He Guizong.

If there is such a method in Heguizong that is specially created to break through the success rate of the great realm, then there should be a similar "foundation method" created to increase the rate of alchemy, right?

It's a pity that whether there is or not, Lin Xiu is not able to contact him now, so he can only focus on Xiong Ronghai's words at the moment.

207. Heart Demon Tribulation

"With the decline of the ancient cultivation methods, all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures also disappeared with the exhaustion of spiritual energy, and the ninth-grade golden alchemy method was also cut off, and it was replaced by the "heart demon tribulation" that we recent practitioners must go through. Law arises."

Speaking of Xiong Ronghai seemed to be consumed by Lin Xiu, he paused for a while before continuing: "It's just that this 'Heart Demon Tribulation' is not so much a hurdle that we have to pass through to break through the golden core, it is better to say that we are waiting for you. The near-cultivation is a way to improve the quality of the golden core as much as possible."

Later, in Xiong Ronghai's eloquent narration, Lin Xiu understood what twists and turns Jinxiu had gone through in order to reproduce the power and potential of the top-grade golden elixir in Guxiu...

For a long period of time in the early days of the decline of the ancient cultivating method, the world of cultivating immortals was in a state of inadequacy.

This is not only because various exercises are no longer applicable with the exhaustion of spiritual energy, but also because of the extinction of various natural materials and earthly treasures, which makes the original method of breaking through the big realm a waste of paper, but the monks can't keep standing still. If nothing else, the approaching life expectancy forced them to find another way.

In this case, a new method different from the past is proposed on how to break through the golden elixir from foundation building.That is the "Waidan method".

As the name suggests, the outer alchemy method is no longer pursuing alchemy in the body, but directly relying on external objects to form alchemy. After all, compared with the fragile body of a monk, it takes gold and stone as its sustenance, and then entrusts all its mana and spiritual consciousness to condense gold. Dan, the success rate is undoubtedly greatly improved, even higher than the previous "nine-grade golden pill method".

During that period of time, this "Wai Dan method" was very popular, but this situation did not last long, it was only 300 years ago. The "Wai Dan method" that was once popular in the world of cultivating immortals was ordered to be collected and destroyed by the monks at the top. And ordered no one to practice or pass on.

At this time, Xiong Ronghai asked: "Friend Daoist Lin, do you know why?"

Just as he was about to shake his head, Lin Xiu suddenly remembered that he had heard similar incidents five years ago?

It's just that the object that was banned that time was "Spirit Gathering Formation", but this time it became "Waidan Method". As for the reason——

"Is there a hidden danger in this outer alchemy?"

Xiong Ronghai nodded and said, "Exactly."

The hidden danger of the outer alchemy method is that it is easy to break through the golden alchemy realm, but compared with the normal alchemy method, it is far behind in mana and consciousness. On the basis of Jindan, it is even more difficult to continue to break through the realm.
