Chapter 176: Preparations before foundation building - Oasis
In the midst of various preparations, half a year has passed in a blink of an eye. At this time, both his own cultivation and various other conditions have reached the peak level of the Qi refining period.
Since he entered the path of spiritual practice, this moment is the closest he has come to the foundation-building period. As the saying goes, everything is ready and all he needs is the east wind, and now is the time to achieve the last condition.
Now Zhao Shoushou only needs to carry all the possible treasures he has bought at all costs in the past six months and head to the hot desert oasis between Xianzhou and Anzhou to expel and kill the monsters and dominate the spiritual veins.
"Life or death, success or failure, it all depends on this. Years of hard work are finally coming to fruition. Only by successfully advancing to Foundation Establishment can we truly embark on the path of practice." When he said this, his eyes trembled.
A green light of hope kept coming out.
Traveling around the world with flying swords on your feet, visiting the green mountains in the morning and the white snow in the evening. The gods on land are like this, only building the foundation is practice.
This poem is exactly what some Confucian monks realized after they advanced to foundation building. It is also the most widely circulated catchy poem in the world of cultivation. It expresses the longing for the future of most monks in the Qi Refining period.
If a monk in the Qi Refining Stage is free from illness, disaster, and accidents, he can enjoy up to 120 years of life. Once promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage, his life span will at least double to 240 years. If he takes some life-extending elixirs, he can
It can reach three hundred years, and the temptation can be imagined.
After two days of cleaning up everything, Zhao Shoushou decisively left Dingshafang City, where he had lived for a long time, and once again headed towards the hot and barren boundless desert where the cactus spiritual fruit had been found for 500 years.
Now, almost all of his mind is focused on the foundation construction he is about to face, so the consideration of some harsh desert environments is no longer the most uncomfortable thing.
"I hope my feeling after passing by last time was correct. There are no second-order monsters living deep in the oasis, otherwise the difficulty of this matter will be greatly increased." Zhao Shoushou prayed as he walked into the desert to be on guard against the Sand Lizard's surprise attack.
After all, this spiritual vein in the desert is the only relatively stable spiritual land he can find in a short period of time. If something goes wrong, it will definitely be unacceptable to the current Zhao Shoushou.
According to the notes left by the only foundation-building monk in the Man family on the "Earth-Splitting Technique", he currently feels that the bottleneck between Qi refining and foundation-building is the best time to break through. This feeling will only last for three months.
It can take anywhere from half a year to half a year. Once you miss it, it will be even more difficult to improve in the future.
This also destined that this desert oasis was his only choice in a short period of time. No matter how many monsters lived in it, he could only rush forward without hesitation. There was no way out.
"Gagaga" The two first-level mid-level cormorant spirit beasts were obviously not satisfied with entering this barren and hot desert again due to their different attributes. They had no choice but to be subjected to the "inhumane" oppression of their masters and could only overcome the difficulties and follow them.
Because there are no trustworthy monks around Zhao Shoushou who can serve as guards, this glorious and great task can only be undertaken by the two first-level mid-level cormorants in front of him. Not to mention their combat effectiveness, at least they are reliable and can provide protection in times of danger.
With a certain awakening.
It is said that after the two cormorants passed through a second-class cave with a second-class low-grade spiritual vein in Dingshafang City and devoured several first-class mid-grade dragon cod fish in the Siming Mountain Spiritual Lake, and obtained considerable benefits twice in a row, whether it is now
Both his cultivation and bloodline have been significantly improved.
Maybe in the future, you only need an opportunity to try to advance to a first-level high-grade spiritual beast. Compared with the original restrictions, the future development after breaking the shackles is unlimited, and they can be called two spiritual beasts worth cultivating.
After three days of arduous trek, one person and two spirit beasts successfully arrived near the oasis. In just one year, there have been quite a few changes here.
The most obvious thing is naturally the increase in the number of cattle and sheep monsters in the oasis. The originally large amount of green grass has been eaten away and only a few roots are left.
Some of the monsters that originally relied on this place for survival were even expelled. Due to their relatively large numbers, two herbivorous monsters with weak attack power magically became the temporary overlords of this lake.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, qingfeng cow and green wool sheep. I met these two cute little guys in the desert oasis. I should have a feast today. Is this considered a blessing?" Facing a large number of these two kinds of monsters.
Beast, not only did he not have any tension or fear, but he was completely relaxed.
The first-level mid-level Qingfeng Cow likes to nibble on all kinds of fresh branches and leaves. It spends more than half of its time eating every day. Its attack power is not very strong. It likes to chase water and grass and is timid by nature. However, its leader is usually
A first-level high-grade monster, aggressive by nature, as long as it is killed, the entire herd will disperse.
The first-level mid-level green wool sheep are famous for the ring of green hair around their necks, but they are not most famous for this. Instead, they are the mutton with a special fragrance, and can help new monks in the Qi refining stage to lay a solid foundation.
Therefore, no matter in Xianzhou or Anzhou, traces of green-haired sheep have basically disappeared. Of course, the leader of their group is also a first-class top grade.
In other words, as long as these two kinds of monsters are expelled or killed, and the monsters living in the lake are killed, the last condition for the attack on the foundation will be fulfilled.
"Whoa!" I only heard the sound of a flying sword breaking through the air. It turned out that Zhao Shoushou had already been unable to restrain the murderous intention in his heart. The first-order high-grade water chanting sword kept vibrating, as if he was expressing his inner feelings in this way.
joy.
After some observation, a cow not far away was obviously bigger in size, with a pair of horns on its head shining with black light. The strongest one leading the herd forward was the leader of the first-class Qingfeng cow, who was also Zhao Shoushou's first target.
However, to deal with Qingfeng Niu, who is always good at defense, he can only attack with the first-level high-grade bronze sword, which is best at breaking through defenses. The Water Singing Sword follows closely to expand the results of the battle. The first blow must at least seriously injure him.
"Moo!" Bronze Ge had just attacked. The first-class Qingfeng Niu not far away seemed to have noticed the approaching crisis. A crisp and powerful cow cry came, and at the same time a pair of round bull eyes stared at this person hatefully.
Annoying sneak attack guy.
Naturally, the first-level high-grade Qingfeng cattle will not wait willingly for the attack to come. With their bad temper, their counterattacks always come very quickly.
I saw its huge head violently bumping into the void above, as if it was attracting something from high in the sky. Suddenly, a burst of lightning appeared on its dark and sharp horns, and then with lightning speed it covered my ears.
He struck first and then hit Zhao Shoushou on the arm.
"It is still a thunder cow with mutated thunder and lightning attributes. This pair of horns that can communicate with thunder and lightning is a good thing, but it is a little less powerful." Zhao Shoushou looked at the dark left arm as if it was a pity, as if the injured one was completely different.
