The moment the bottleneck was broken, Zhao Shoushou felt a burst of mysterious power blend into the mana in his Dantian. The already very strong mana vaguely appeared as a special combination of gas and liquid.
This is also the direction that the ninth level of Qi training and even the tenth level of Qi training need to work towards. As long as half of the Dantian is refined into this combination, it will be the peak of the ninth level of Qi training. If all of them become this special existence, they can be officially declared to be the tenth level of Qi training.
A cultivator at the top level can take a crucial step at any time.
In fact, there is no essential difference between the ninth level of Qi training and the tenth level of Qi training, and there is no bottleneck between the two. It is mainly a process of refining the quality and quantity of mana.
The current Zhao Shoushou has just entered the door that requires a large amount of mana, and will need to consume more cultivation resources in the future.
This process can be said to be fast or slow, but for most casual practitioners, it is scratching their heads because this is a stage that requires a lot of investment.
However, Zhao Shoushou obviously didn't care. According to his plan, renting a second-class cave for three months would be a big addition after his successful promotion in addition to seclusion.
In addition, thirty first-level high-grade Qi Condensing Pills were also prepared in advance, which were presumably enough to support his cultivation to the tenth level of Qi training.
As for the training resources needed in the future, it will not be an insurmountable problem with his cultivation at the ninth level or even the tenth level of Qi training.
As their cultivation level improves, it becomes easier and easier for monks to earn spiritual stones. Whether they are hunting monsters and ghosts, exploring caves for treasures, or even accepting employment, it is a considerable income.
It is obvious that these problems will not become his troubles and annoyance for a while. Now Zhao Shoushou is doing his best to stabilize his cultivation realm and refine a large amount of the surrounding spiritual power for his own use.
The sun and the moon rotate, day and night pass. For monks, time is the most precious and luxurious treasure. Three months have passed by in a flash. This feeling is most obvious to Zhao Shoushou who is in seclusion.
Even with his unremitting efforts, the process of mana in Dantian is limited, and barely a small part can be successfully refined into this special mana.
"It's a pity that there is such a strong spiritual power in the cave. I don't know if Zhao will have the opportunity to enjoy such treatment when he is ready to break through the foundation building stage," Zhao Shoushou said with a look of reluctance.
If he can cultivate here for a long time, he firmly believes that his cultivation speed can be improved to a higher level again. Unfortunately, the price to be paid is too high, and it would be unbearable if it were not for the critical moment of breakthrough in cultivation.
In addition, the renters of these caves are not willing to rent them to monks who are about to build the foundation, because the amount of spiritual energy that needs to be consumed in this process is too huge, which is an invisible damage to the spiritual veins in the cave.
Of course, if the monk is willing to sign a commitment for a certain number of years after the foundation is successfully built, there will naturally be no problem.
However, if you can stand out among the many casual cultivators and go through countless hardships and obstacles along the way, why would you be willing to sign an alliance under the city when you are about to build a foundation?
At the very least, Zhao Shoushou will not bow down because of this. What he wants is to search for a relatively abundant unmanned spiritual vein, although the difficulty is also very high.
"Come on, let's put these annoying things aside, I'd better find some monsters to hunt as soon as possible, and accumulating enough points to redeem the "Condensing Water Art" is the best strategy." Half an hour later, Zhao Shoushou and the two
Only the first-level mid-level cormorant spirit beast embarks on the journey again.
During these three months of practice, in addition to himself, the two cormorants also benefited a lot. Their cultivation level has improved a lot, and it is faintly noticeable that they are not far from the first-level top grade.
After Zhao Shoushou established the foundation, he only needed to find some blood refining that would be helpful to them, and his future cultivation path was limitless.
In the process of hunting monsters and ghosts, the search for elixirs will naturally be indispensable. After all, compared to Xianzhou, the resources here are relatively abundant. Zhao Shoushou will naturally not give up this wonderful opportunity.
In fact, as of now, he is quite confident about redeeming the "Condensing Water Art". The remaining twenty points are only seven or eight large and small demons that are equivalent to the later stages of Qi training, so they are not a cause for concern.
The difficulties he faced now were due to his unfamiliarity with the place where he lived, and it was naturally difficult to find monsters and ghosts.
An hour later, after all the trophies were disposed of, one person and two cormorants left together from another direction, striding towards some places where monsters might be present.
After spending more than ten pieces of low-grade spiritual stones in Fang City to buy the latest map of the distribution of demons and ghosts, Zhao Shoushou decisively headed to the nearest one.
Anzhou seems to be prosperous, but this is only superficial. The number of hunted monsters and ghosts is not large, and most of them are suppressed within a certain range by the monks here relying on factors such as formations and geographical location.
The gathering places of these demons and ghosts are constantly attracting monks from around to hunt them, and it is clearly stipulated that as long as the exchange conditions are met, all treasures can be exchanged on the spot without default.
It is precisely because of this that every demon and ghost gathering point is like a bright torch attracting monks who usually practice in seclusion, and they join this feast without hesitation.
According to legend, more than ten monks in the late stages of Qi Refining have successfully redeemed the most precious Foundation Establishment Pill, but the authenticity of it is unknown.
It is precisely because of these rumors that not only casual cultivators, but also family and sect cultivators are working hard to hunt down the hateful monsters here.
Another great advantage is that every location occupied by demons and ghosts was once a place with excellent spiritual veins. Most of them were once the residences of small sects and families. Although these demons and ghosts wreaked havoc among them, there are always some treasures left behind.
If you are lucky enough to enter and hunt demons and ghosts, it is not surprising to get some treasures. After all, a family that can be passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, a sect always has some good reserves.
"Where does the sect come from? Did you come to Siming Mountain to hunt demons?" Three days later, when he arrived at the foot of Siming Mountain on the first day of the new year, he was stopped by two monks on duty.
"Zhao is just a casual cultivator. This is a hunting token. Fellow Taoists, please check it out." Before he finished speaking, Zhao Shoushou had already thrown out a token, which was the token that had accumulated nearly 130 points.
"Please, Siming Mountain welcomes fellow Taoists to hunt demons and ghosts." The two monks' faces turned pale. In fact, the strength and potential of a monk can be judged from the points on each token.
Although one hundred and fifty points is not too advanced, as a casual cultivator, being able to accumulate so many points is also a symbol of one's own strength.
Siming Mountain was also Zhao Shoushou's first target. It was once a family that had been inherited for nearly a thousand years and had several foundation-building monks. It would not be attacked by demons and ghosts for this reason until the formation was broken and the monks fell.
Except for a few monks who had not returned, almost the entire army was wiped out.
