Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Second: Eighth Level of Qi Practice
This monk obviously didn't know that the duck that reached the mouth would fly away and the fat that reached the mouth would be taken away. This matter was destined not to go so smoothly.
"Two thousand five hundred and ten low-grade spiritual stones." A very calm voice came from an unknown corner. It was Zhao Shoushou who was moved but never took action.
"Two thousand five hundred and ten low-grade spiritual stones, two thousand five hundred and ten low-grade spiritual stones, where did the monks come from to interfere with grandpa's good deeds?" The man with the same physical fitness suddenly fell into a rage and couldn't extricate himself, even where he was.
How many of the people who can run the underground auction are Yi Yi? A mere monk in the late stage of Qi training obviously would not take them seriously, and soon two guards appeared and dragged him out like a dead pig.
"Two thousand five hundred and ten low-grade spiritual stones were sold. Congratulations to this fellow Taoist for winning the treasure." With the announcement of the auction monk, the auction of this treasure copper coin shield has just come to an end.
Youran Pavilion purchased 70 first-grade high-grade elixirs that can help improve cultivation. At the underground auction, they purchased a first-grade high-grade offensive magic weapon and a first-grade high-grade defensive magic weapon respectively. This trip can be regarded as a successful conclusion.
With only three to five hundred low-grade spiritual stones left in the auction storage bag of the remaining three final treasures, he only had the opportunity to indulge his eyes and experience a long time?
This underground auction will obviously not disappoint him. Starting from the eighth item, they are all second-level low-grade treasures suitable for the foundation building period. The starting price of each item is thirty yuan of mid-grade spiritual stones and upwards.
According to the rules of most auctions, it is applicable to the trading of first-order treasures and lower-grade spiritual stones for monks in the Qi-refining stage, for the second-order treasures of the foundation-building stage to be traded for mid-grade spiritual stones, and for the third-order and above-grade treasures of the Golden Core stage.
As for the spiritual stone trade, as for higher levels, he was not aware of it.
The last three treasures are a second-grade low-grade spiritual material Qingyao Stone, a second-grade mid-grade talisman seal, and a second-grade low-grade brush-like spiritual weapon.
The auction ended successfully after half an hour. This kind of underground auction, which was mainly kept secret, obviously would not have the free trading stage that monks like to see.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's really a great underground project. The entrance and exit are completely opposite." Looking at a lake not far away, Zhao Shoushou was surprised.
Of course, this was not Cormorant Lake but a location far away from where he entered. This fact alone made him admire him greatly.
Generally speaking, Zhao Shoushou is very satisfied with this small but sophisticated underground auction. Basically, as long as he gets the treasure in his hands, it is a worthwhile trip. This may be the reason why underground auctions are repeatedly banned.
Whether it was the elixir used to improve his cultivation or the useful first-level magic weapons, he was naturally satisfied. The next main task was to return to the cave to retreat safely and strive to break through the bottleneck and enter the eighth level of Qi Refining as soon as possible.
A new level of cultivation.
In the two years since he advanced to the Qi Refining Stage, his cultivation level has not changed much, but he has also made steady progress. With enough spiritual elixirs to help him this time, I think one year of seclusion will be enough to advance his cultivation level.
"The first year of the outbreak of the demonic chaos is also the most ferocious year, so it is most appropriate to use it for retreat." Zhao Shoushou murmured to himself with a look of pride on his face.
But the only worry is how to earn 150 points to exchange for "Water Condensation Technique". The first year is the most dangerous time and the most opportunities.
Although there are many demons and ghosts in the demon world, they are scattered in the huge world of cultivation. If you want to hunt him after he comes out of seclusion, you may need to go to some spiritual places to search carefully.
No matter how much he worries, there is no doubt that his only mission is to practice in seclusion. After all, instead of worrying about the redemption of "Condensing Water", it is better to think about how to build the foundation as soon as possible.
Two days later, Zhao Shoushou returned to the Cormorant Island Cave Mansion. After laying down a set of first-order mid-level formation flags specifically used to conceal the aura of nirvana, he was ready to start practicing.
In order to prevent anyone from disturbing him during his practice, Zhao Shoushou chose to activate all the formations. His cave was suddenly in a relatively closed and confidential environment, and there was always the suspicion of being discovered by the ubiquitous demons and ghosts.
"There are enough spiritual elixirs to help with this retreat. It will not be a problem to refine Qi at the eighth level. If it is possible to refine Qi at the ninth level, it may not be impossible to succeed." Zhao Shoushou muttered to himself and sat cross-legged near the spiritual veins and began to close his eyes and adjust his breath.
Although the spiritual veins in the cave have barely reached the first-level low-grade level, it is not very helpful to the current cultivation level, but the continuous influx of spiritual power is better than nothing.
Every time he breaks through, before officially taking the elixir to help improve his cultivation level, he habitually meditates and adjusts his breath, and only then starts after reaching the peak of his energy and spirit. In the long run, he can get twice the result with half the effort.
It takes about ten days to refine a first-level high-grade elixir at the seventh level of Qi training plus the time to eliminate the erysipelas. One elixir is equivalent to the results of two months of meditation practice.
This means that with the help of spiritual pills, the results of monthly retreat practice are equivalent to half a year, and seventy spiritual pills are enough for two years of use.
The first-level top-grade Baishendan is made from the essence of ginseng. It does not contain too much spiritual power at the same level, but it is easier to refine and contains less erysipelas. It is also most suitable for his current situation.
This elixir is also the elixir of choice for most monks in the late stage of Qi refining, and is enough to satisfy their cultivation before the ninth level of Qi refining.
Three days later, Zhao Shoushou, who felt that his cultivation had reached its peak, took the first first-grade Baishen Dan. The medicine melted in his mouth, and a refreshing fragrance went straight to his forehead, giving him an unprecedented sense of clarity.
feeling.
The feeling of swelling in the meridians caused by the temporary inability to refine due to the abundance of spiritual power can be described as a happy trouble. Feeling strongly encouraged, Zhao Shoushou mustered up his energy to speed up the circulation of spiritual power in his Dantian, refining the spiritual power in circles and enjoying it.
The pleasure of increased mana in the Dantian.
A first-grade high-quality Baishendan was refined on the sixth day, probably because the effect of taking it for the first time was far beyond expectations, which was equivalent to three months of hard work.
After the erysipelas was driven out of the body on the tenth day, Zhao Shoushou's eyes flashed with a flash of light, and he was very satisfied with the current progress of his cultivation.
After confirming that there are no hidden dangers, he immediately begins to enter the true deep selfless cultivation state, and no longer pays attention to all the movements of the outside world.
In fact, during the period of his cultivation, the world of cultivation was in a bloody storm. In less than half a year, at least half of the large and small Buddhist temples that were widely distributed in various counties had been destroyed by demons and ghosts regardless of casualties.
without a trace.
It is also common for some weak sects to have their families attacked and their bases destroyed. Only some powerful sects still send some teams to clear them out while supporting them.
It was under this situation that time kept passing by. In the tenth month of retreat, Zhao Shoushou benefited from the help of the first-level top-grade Baishendan. He successfully broke through the bottleneck and advanced to the eighth level of Qi refining, and successfully stabilized his cultivation on the tenth day.
realm.
However, after seeing that there were still ten Baishendan pills left, Zhao Shoushou decided to continue practicing in seclusion.
