Practice begins with a fisherman

If it is because of some inconspicuous little things that have not been explained clearly, it is really not worth the loss to attract the hostility of this self-proclaimed Elvis.

"Meow, tens of thousands of years have passed, how could my Elvis care about half an hour? It's really long-winded." The little cat was full of contempt.

Of course, the reason why Zhao Shoushou has made a series of preparations does not mean that Zhao Shoushou is afraid. If he really competes in a one-on-one battle, even if he loses, he can escape on the basis of ensuring his own safety. of.

"Every step along the way is cautious, lest there be any slack along the way, it will make Elvis laugh." After explaining, Zhao Shoushou stopped talking.

Thanks to the deterrent and temptation from the possible existence of the exiled immortal in the jade slips, after half an hour, the three-color obscuring stone has not changed at all.

During this period, Zhao Shoushou was also constantly flushing with his spiritual consciousness, and even a small amount of tentative weakening of mana was mixed in during this period. Facts have proved that Xiaohuamao still kept his promise.

Now that the treasures of both sides are confirmed, the little cat successfully stripped a ray of special breath from the jade slip, like a drug addict, after swallowing a sentence of it, he left contentedly and staggered away.

"There is no doubt that the special aura in the jade slip has a role in protecting the guardian beasts. According to the rules, each guardian beast can only refine one wisp. Fellow Daoists can also use this aura to exchange for a sufficient number of treasures. Fellow Daoists When exchanging, you must give priority to some powerful guardian beasts. There are still two recommendations from this Elvis Presley, you can refer to one or two." After leaving a whisper, before he can react, it has disappeared without a trace. .

Elvis Presley didn't explain too much before leaving, and the two references he left behind were also very rough. As for whether it is trustworthy or not, it is a matter worth considering.

"The follow-up treasures are precious, but for Mr. Zhao, these ten three-color enveloping stones are the most important treasures. You only need to return to the sect to retreat for a period of time, and the later stage of Yuanying will no longer be a luxury." It was Zhao Shoushou's truest thought.

Of course, he will not easily give up the remaining two opportunities to easily complete transactions with guardian beasts in exchange for treasures. After all, every treasure that is eligible to appear in Xianren Mountain is of great value.

After the transaction was completed, Zhao Shoushou did not stay here any longer. He changed his direction several times in the middle, and after confirming that there was no monk following him, he spent half a day before arriving at the place where he met Wan'er.

"My husband is back." Wan'er, who had been waiting incognito nearby, turned into a stream of light and threw herself into Zhao Shoushou's arms. Her face was full of tears, which made people feel distressed.

"Little fool, it's just going to fight for a treasure, and it's not a life-and-death fight. It must be no problem to ensure your own safety for your husband." Zhao Shoushou couldn't help being moved in his heart.

After conscientiously comforting Wan'er, the two started the next round of non-stop treasure hunting, hoping to get as many good quality treasures as possible before Xianren Mountain was closed.

There is no fixed rule for the birth of Xianren Mountain. According to the currently known statistics, the shortest time is 600 years, and the longest time is 2000 or [-] years. The gap between the two is simply unimaginable.

For Zhao Shoushou, whether it is 600 years or 2000, two hundred years, it is too long and unacceptable. He does not want to wait for the next opening of Xianren Mountain, and his cultivation is still in the middle and late stage of Yuanying.

During this year-long search, Zhao Shoushou and Wan'er cooperated closely, and successfully acquired four fourth-tier mid-to-high-grade treasures.

Two of them were based on Elvis Presley's recommendation before he left, and after reaching an agreement with the two guardian beasts, the transaction was completed smoothly, and they were all fourth-tier top-grade treasures.

One of them is a set of fourth-tier high-grade flying knives Houtian Lingbao. As the core main knife, it can be used alone, or it can smoothly manipulate a set of five magic weapons to jointly attack.

The second piece is a set of fourth-tier high-grade formation flags, called the Gourd Flying Knife Great Formation, which is refined from the famous "please turn around" treasure gourd in ancient times.

The value of this set of formation flags is unquestionable, whether it is used to protect the caves of the two or set up outside to fight against the enemy, it can at least block the attacks of the two great cultivators of the late Nascent Soul stage.

The other two are obtained from killing the Guardian Beast, and they are all suitable for refining the spirit pills in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. They are of little use to Zhao Shoushou, but they will be of great use to Wan'er in the future after the middle stage of advancement.

Even in the Cultivation Realm of the Central Plains where resources are relatively abundant, the fourth-order middle-grade spirit pill is already a great treasure, and it is only possible to appear as the finale treasure at some special auctions.

And each bottle is worth a lot of money. Only these two bottles of panacea are worth the trip. Even if it is in the core area of ​​Xianren Mountain, it can be regarded as a treasure of good quality.

For the monks who are busy fighting, the time of about a year is just fleeting. With the passage of time, there are traces of blank areas above the originally peaceful fairy mountain, and this blank area is still in a On top of the ever-expanding trend, this is a sign that Xianren Mountain is about to be blocked.

"The Immortal Mountain will be closed soon, and it's time for me to leave. If I continue to wait, there may be changes. Since the harvest is good, there is no need to continue to take risks and wait." Zhao Shoushou is quite satisfied with the harvest of this trip.

Along the way, the two of them harvested a total of more than ten treasures of good quality, large and small, of which more than four directly assisted Zhao Shoushou.

The remaining parts are all treasures that are of great value to Wan'er's future practice. If all the treasures obtained this time are refined, at least the two of them can save a hundred years of hard work.

For some cultivators with little harvest, some guardian beasts hidden in various places on weekdays will try to break free before the blockade of Xianren Mountain, which is also a good time to take advantage of the opportunity to gain harvest.

Of course, the risks involved are not small. Once the Guardian Beast cannot be killed in a short period of time, resulting in the inability to escape, it is also possible to block it in the Immortal Mountain. Every time a monk will fall into the same situation.

Chapter 862 Retreating to practice, impacting the later stage

As for the fate of the cultivators who did not leave in time after the closure of the Immortal Mountain, no one knows, but they will definitely not be able to persist until the next opening of the Immortal Mountain, which is the consensus of the cultivation world.

Every time the Immortal Mountain is opened, in addition to the large number of treasures that exist here, the corpses left over from the previous exploration are also an indispensable part.

On each corpse, in addition to some treasures obtained from Xianren Mountain, the treasures brought from the outside world in the storage bag are also an important part.

It is a big gain for most of them to only need to successfully obtain the corpse of a monk of the same rank, but it is a pity that Zhao Shoushou did not have such a gain in this exploration.

"Husband, the space channel has been formed, and we can evacuate." When the blank area above the Immortal Mountain formed a big funnel, some impatient monks had turned into a stream of light from different positions and rushed into the space channel. While reminding.

Zhao Shoushou's eyes were shining with a layer of strange green light, which should be a kind of pupil technique with special functions, as if waiting for something to happen.

After "rumbling rumbling" for a cup of tea, the space channel above the Immortal Mountain collapsed instantly, even if it recovered in a short period of time, it still existed.

The sound produced by the collapse of the space channel is still somewhat different from the collapse of ordinary objects, but it can have a certain degree of impact on the spiritual consciousness deep in the mind.

Especially for some monks who have gone deep into the space channel, this kind of impact is very obvious, even for the monks of the late Nascent Soul, it is also a big challenge.

It was by accident that Zhao Shoushou learned from an ancient jade slip that similar large-scale space passages may collapse instantly to a certain extent.

The reason why he didn't leave at the first time was to avoid encountering similar situations as much as possible. If he met head-on in the space passage, he still had a certain possibility of persevering, but Wan'er, who had neither cultivation base nor experience It is possible to encounter bad luck.

In the collapse of a space channel of this scale, Zhao Shoushou was too busy to take care of himself, so how could he have the energy to rescue him?I don't know how to rescue him.

"Wan'er, follow me, it's time to leave Xianren Mountain." No more hesitation, the two joined hands and turned into a stream of light, disappearing between heaven and earth.

This time, everything went smoothly without any twists and turns. When the two of them appeared, it was a completely unfamiliar sea area. This is also one of the characteristics of the space channel. There is no rule in the random distribution. At the very least, it can guarantee that the monks will not fall into siege.

"Husband, should we return to Peiling Mountain or continue to explore the open sea?" Wan'er asked, but her delicate little face was full of eagerness, obviously hoping to show off her skills.

"Returning to Mount Peiling, with the treasures we harvested this time as confidence, the possibility of being promoted to a great monk in the later stages of Nascent Soul for my husband will be greatly increased," Zhao Shoushou said confidently.

The Nascent Soul stage monks are divided into three stages: the early stage, the middle stage, and the late stage. Although they are collectively called the Nascent Soul stage, the difference in status is quite obvious.

Every late-stage monk is like an overlord in the realm of comprehension, and has the qualifications to hit the stage of transforming gods, and is also called "false transforming gods".

In the past thousands of years, the Huang Minguo royal family has been relying on three or five late Yuanying monks as the core to support them.

If a sect or family can give birth to a late Nascent Soul cultivator, the improvement in strength is quite obvious, and it can grandiosely expand the territory occupied by the sect by one-third.

It is especially important for Peilingmen. Once he is successfully promoted to the late stage, the territory that has been out of control for many years can be taken back in just a few days, which means that Peilingmen can use its own strength in the shortest possible time. Back to peak condition.

"Shocking the late stage of Nascent Soul? Naturally, this is ranked first, or is it the first time to return to Peiling Mountain to retreat and practice? The core spirit vein of Peiling Mountain is only the fourth-rank top-rank, will it cause shackles to the promotion of cultivation base? If necessary, you can return to the royal family to attack." Wan'er is a typical caring and chaotic.

"The fourth-order high-grade spiritual veins are enough to meet the cultivation needs of normal Nascent Soul late stage monks. Wan'er can rest assured that this place will not become a shackle for the promotion of a certain cultivation base." Zhao Shoushou said confidently, as if for this cultivation base. There is no problem with promotion.

Based on his aptitude and previous attempts, if he proceeds step by step without any external assistance, even if everything goes well, the bottleneck in front of him can prevent him from progressing for at least 200 years. This point is summed up from daily practice.

However, in the process of trying to break through the bottleneck and improve one's cultivation level, it is destined not to be smooth sailing. In the middle of the process, there will be various difficulties, large and small, which may cause the process of cultivation level promotion to be extended by more than double the time.

As far as Zhao Shoushou's remaining lifespan is concerned, it is enough to attack the late Yuanying stage, but this is far from the end of his spiritual journey.

After the Nascent Soul stage, there is still the stage of transforming into a god, and after breaking through many obstacles, you still need to go through the thunder calamity and ascend to the spirit world. This process is simply thorny step by step.

It is also doomed that Zhao Shoushou can't spend all his life energy on the bottleneck of hitting Yuanying's later stage, and the auxiliary role of various natural materials and earth treasures is an indispensable step.

Three days later, Zhao Shoushou and Zhao Shoushou returned to Peiling Mountain smoothly. Only then did they learn that Pei Yicai was seriously injured in the battle for Xianren Mountain and had already retreated to heal his injuries.

Before he retreated, he specially took out a special fourth-order mid-grade Concentrating Spirit Primordial Spirit Pill from the secret storehouse of the sect, which would help the monks in the later stage of promotion.

However, the reason why this kind of panacea is called special is that its role is not from the mana Nascent Soul, but from the spiritual consciousness as a breakthrough point.

For the promotion of a monk's cultivation base, the importance of mana is undoubtedly ranked first, and spiritual consciousness is also an indispensable aspect.

So far, Zhao Shoushou has collected three kinds of genius treasures. The first and most effective one is the three-color enshrouding stone from Xianren Mountain, which can directly assist the monks to attack the bottleneck.

Second, the Black Cloud Congealing Blood Pill that was obtained by accident at the beginning, unfortunately, because of its heaven-defying refining process, it was destined not to be refined unless there was no way out.

The third and the last one are the Concentrating Spirit Yuanling Pill offered by Peilingmen, which can exert its due effect from the aspect of spiritual consciousness, and if it is used properly, it can cooperate with the three-color obscuring stone.

"Everything is ready, it's only due to Dongfeng. After hundreds of years of raising money, Zhao finally waited for the opportunity to improve his cultivation base. This breakthrough can only succeed and not fail."

Chapter 863 Based on stone, advanced to late stage ([-])

"Husband, from the mid to late stages of Nascent Soul, it seems to be a small bottleneck, but it blocks more than [-]% of the existence of Nascent Soul cultivators in the cultivation world. If you notice any changes in the middle, remember to put your own safety first and stay safe. You won't have to worry about having no firewood to burn in Qingshan." Wan'er gave thousands of warnings before retreating.

Of course, she was clear about Zhao Shoushou's preparations, but as she was from the royal family, she was even more aware that every monk in the middle stage of Nascent Soul would make complete preparations before retreating, but none of them succeeded.

Some unlucky monks will even cause irreversible damage to the physical body and dantian under the backlash of the bottleneck. As a Taoist companion, how can Wan'er not worry?

However, this opportunity is definitely impossible for him to give up easily, and the three-color obscuring stone obtained from the Immortal Mountain is his greatest source of confidence.

Once this opportunity is lost, Zhao Shoushou does not believe that there will be better pies on his head, so he cherishes this opportunity in every possible way.

"Madam, don't worry, for this opportunity of impact, how can you give up easily after planning for a long time? This retreat is full of confidence. When you get out of the retreat, you must already be a late-stage monk. Madam just need to rest assured and wait for the good news. That's right, let's take a step ahead as a husband." Only Zhao Shoushou laughed heartily, and his figure turned into a stream of light and rushed into the special retreat cave.

Among the sages of Peilingmen, although there is not a single monk who has raised his cultivation level to the late Yuanying stage, there are not a few monks who have reached the middle stage.

Therefore, it is imperative to plan ahead to build a cave to hit the bottleneck in the later stage, and the conditions for opening it are quite harsh.

Only when the monk is really at the peak of the Nascent Soul mid-stage, and has prepared more than one kind of genius treasure, and has a success rate of more than [-]% to be promoted to a great monk, can he be eligible to use it.

It is precisely because of this strict condition that this retreat cave at the core of the real spiritual vein has not been truly opened for more than a thousand years.

The main spiritual vein of Peiling Mountain is only the fourth-level top-grade, which can meet the needs of great monks in the late stage of Nascent Soul, but when monks try to break through the bottleneck, the demand for spiritual power is quite huge.

Under normal circumstances, a fifth-order low-grade spiritual vein is the most suitable to assist in the impact of the late Nascent Soul. In order to make up for the lack of the main spiritual vein of Peiling Mountain, this cave is built at the core of the spiritual vein, which can directly extract the most Primitive, quintessential spirit power.

In the history of Peilingmen, among the few retreat experiences that hit the late stage of Yuanying, after each end, the main spiritual vein was severely injured, and it would take at least a hundred years of careful cultivation by the sect to be possible. recover.

"It's no wonder that this cave can't be opened easily. Such a rich spiritual power should be drawn directly from the depths of the main spiritual vein." Feeling the surrounding environment, Zhao Shoushou's face was full of enjoyment.

The birth of spiritual power is generally divided into three stages. In the first stage, the source of the spiritual vein is condensed with some special forces in the air; in the second stage, after the spiritual power is generated, it escapes upward along the main spiritual vein; in the third stage After the spiritual power is formed in the stage, under the influence of the monk's manipulation, it will be distributed in proportion.

Generally speaking, what monks use is the spiritual power that escapes after the completion of all three stages. Since this cave is directly built on the main spiritual vein, it can directly extract the spiritual power in the second stage. .

In the process of attacking big monks, abundant spiritual power is obviously one of the necessary conditions for success, and the amount required by each monk is also completely different.

Once the amount drawn is too large, it is likely to have an obvious adverse effect on the quality of the main spiritual vein, but all of this is a price worth paying compared to the addition of a big monk in Peilingmen.

"The spiritual power here is not weaker than some low-level fifth-level spiritual veins. With the preparations and planning of all parties so perfect, Mr. Zhao really has no reason to fail." Zhao Shoushou secretly made up his mind.

After adjusting my mood and barely calming down, I sat cross-legged in the core of the cave and followed the "Chun Yuan Congealing Water Jue" to run the big circle.

Although Zhao Shoushou is full of confidence, according to his personality, he will definitely not rush to attack the seemingly indestructible bottleneck.

Only when you go all out to make complete preparations and your energy and spirit have been carefully polished to reach the peak state, can you really start to attack the bottleneck in the later stage. This may be the so-called "sharpening the knife without cutting wood by mistake" work", on this point, he never dared to slack off in the slightest.

After many years of polishing, his cultivation base is already at the peak state of the Nascent Soul, what is needed now is to have enough confidence, to find the possible loopholes bit by bit, to make up for them one by one, until all All deficiencies have been filled.

Any monk thinks that his foundation is solid in the process of improving his cultivation, but there are always some flaws more or less.

Only after all these defects have been made up, will one be in the true peak state of cultivation at a certain stage of cultivation, and the success rate of launching an attack is also the highest.

The sun rises and the moon sets, day and night alternate, and time passes away. For monks, the retreat process has no sense of time. Zhao Shoushou spent 20 years polishing his cultivation in the middle stage of Yuanying.

For the outside world, in the past 20 years, some outer disciples with low aptitude and lack of opportunities have changed several reincarnations. Pei Yicai, who was severely injured in Xianren Mountain, not only healed but also survived with the help of various healing elixirs. After refining some treasures, his own cultivation has also improved significantly.

In the past 20 years, Wan'er has also been in retreat for most of the time. With the dual support of Peilingmen and the royal family, some resources in her practice are not too scarce.

Her aptitude is also above average among monks of the same level. After years of hard work, her cultivation strength is also improving rapidly.

Thanks to the efforts of the three Nascent Soul Supreme Elders, the entire Peiling Sect is in a positive state. In the past 20 years, the number of Jindan monks who have been the backbone of the sect is also at a low level. In a state of blowout growth.

After many years of cultivation, apart from the battle damage and normal sitting, there are still a full 25 Jindan stage monks sitting in various places.

Under normal circumstances, it is enough to have one Golden Core cultivator attached to ten foundation-establishment stage cultivators in each county under his control, plus a hundred mid-to-late-stage Qi refining cultivators to sit in town.

Among them, the five Jindan late-stage monks have been practicing in seclusion under the careful cultivation of the sect all the year round, hoping to raise their cultivation level to the peak of Jindan as soon as possible and have the qualification to attack the Nascent Soul.

After these years of development, Peilingmen seems to be in a state of skyrocketing, but after all, the background is too shallow, and the number of Nascent Soul stage monks used to suppress one side is insufficient.

Chapter 864 Taking Stone as the Foundation, Promoted to the Late Stage ([-])

Wan'er broke through the bottleneck and was promoted to Yuanying, and it was only with the triple support of Peilingmen, the royal family, and Zhao Shoushou himself that she realized her cultivation base promotion.

It is impossible to solve everything that needs to be solved by the middle-stage Nascent Soul monks who are the symbol of the real suppression of the sect. Most of the Nascent Soul monks walking in the cultivation world, more than [-]% are early-stage Nascent Soul monks.

Except for a very small number of mid-term monks whose potential has been exhausted and their cultivation base is hopeless, most of them are trying to find various opportunities and seek the slightest hope of being promoted to the late Nascent Soul.

As for the rarer number of late-stage monks, they are even more indistinct. Except for a few high-level auctions that may show up, most of them are in some large and small dangerous places and deep seas. Exploration, the only pursuit for these late monks is to transform into a god.

For Zhao Shoushou now, neither the development of Peilingmen nor all the changes in the outside world have any effect on him.

There is no doubt that all the external things are not as good as the later cultivation realm that is currently trying to be promoted.

After 20 years of detailed grinding and excavation, Zhao Shoushou's cultivation has truly reached the peak of the mid-Yuanying period, and no amount of mana can be effectively refined.

Every time after completing a complete cycle, when the refined mana tries to integrate into the Nascent Soul, it will encounter a special force of repulsion.

At this time, the dantian is like a funnel, expelling all the mana from the body, and all the mana will dissipate through the body and return to the world, becoming the existence of free spiritual power, as if waiting for the opening of the next cycle.

Of course, in this process, more or less, some magic power is integrated into the physical body little by little, laying a solid foundation silently and increasing the strength of the physical body.

However, after spending twenty years of time, Zhao Shoushou is destined to not be able to wait any longer and polish his body to its peak state in this way.

"Twenty years of time have passed by, polished bit by bit, and the effort and gain have always been in balance. These efforts will have corresponding gains in terms of cultivation and promotion, and it is time to attack the bottleneck in the later stage "At this time, Zhao Shoushou's determination has been fully demonstrated.

First of all, take out the three exquisite jade boxes sealed with layers of mana, which contain the treasures that Zhao Shoushou has been looking for for many years, which will help increase the success rate of advancement.
