Generally speaking, the process of foundation building can be divided into two types. One is: with the help of the elixir, one can work hard to break through the bottleneck and successfully advance; the other is: a long stream of water slowly penetrates to build the foundation.
Judging from the current situation, Zhao Shoushou obviously cannot meet the first condition, so his foundation building is destined to be a long-term process that takes a lot of time.
The amount of time each monk needs to spend is different. It can range from a few years to a few years. It is not uncommon for three or five years to be well prepared. The premise is that one can withstand the damage to the body caused by the backlash brought by each failure.
.
In fact, physical weakness is a very important factor when most monks fail in the foundation building process. Fortunately, this is within the tolerance range for him for a while.
After all, since the middle stage of Qi refining, in addition to the spiritual refining, I have also taken a lot of elixirs and elixirs that are beneficial to improving physical strength. In the same level, except for a small number of physical training, the physical strength in a single round
Can be ranked at the forefront.
Therefore, apart from some unspeakable pain, the backlash caused after each failed attack was still within the acceptable range, and there was no risk in a short period of time.
It was in this repeated entanglement that time elapsed. When an obvious trace of mana appeared on the bottleneck, which can be called a natural chasm, and began to try to extend from one end to the other, it was already three months later.
"The real harsh test is about to begin." Looking carefully, the look on Zhao Shoushou's face this time was unprecedentedly serious, because he knew that when the mana tried to pass through the suspended zone in the middle, an additional bone-eroding force would be added to the counterattack force.
of cold wind.
Moreover, this cold wind directly affects the monk's mana and spiritual consciousness, and is also a double test of the monk's willpower and strength.
In fact, all the tortures in the entire foundation building process are a double sacrifice of mana and spiritual consciousness. Only after passing the test can a qualitative leap be achieved.
The liquefaction of mana, the scope of spiritual consciousness, and the substantial increase in quality all need to go through this series of tests. Of course, for Zhao Shoushou, the most important thing now is to continue to persevere.
“Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo , a bad wind coming from nowhere, making him feel cold to the bone.
I don't know why, but every time the bad wind blows, the originally solid mana always feels weak, and every time I persevere, I can feel a little bit of insignificant progress.
As time went by, Zhao Shoushou seemed to be particularly intoxicated by this strange feeling. Only monks who had experienced it personally could understand the feeling of pain and joy.
Foundation building is obviously not accomplished overnight. After going through the initial double test, when the first mana bridge was halfway through, an unprecedented force struck. Months of achievements were destroyed. Zhao Shoushou could only feel sad in his heart.
The anxiety of starting all over again.
In this tug-of-war, his magic power has been condensed like never before, and his toughness and strength have been greatly improved.
The only drawback may be the test of the meridians and the body. In the process, the injuries caused by each backlash add up. The body is already covered with large and small wounds, and the meridians are also damaged.
Almost every minute and every second, I will be subjected to omnipresent pain. This is a special kind of torture for the nerves, and it is also the only way to achieve an essential leap.
Time flies, and the years pass by. This oasis of life deep in the desert remains unchanged forever, as if it has never felt the changes of time.
Especially under the protection of the first-order high-grade cloud gauze magic array, even though there are occasionally some caravans that specialize in driving first-order middle-grade spiritual beasts and camels to manage Anzhou and Xianzhou's special products and resources when they pass by, they do not attract any attention.
their attention.
I don't know how much time passed like this, but nothing changed in this quiet desert. Only the occasional calls of two first-order mid-level cormorants could be heard in the oasis protected by layers of protection.
One month, two months, half a year, one year, until the second year of retreat, in the depths of the small lake, the painful moans became louder and louder.
It turned out that Zhao Shoushou was sitting firmly in the cave, but now he was in an unprecedented state of embarrassment. There were at least a dozen deep wounds visible all over his body, and he was constantly in the pain of recovery and tearing. The place where he originally sat cross-legged was now soaked in blood.
The thick red smell of blood rushed straight into his nostrils.
What's more critical is that in the past two years, he has exhausted almost all his preparations, elixirs, elixirs, spiritual stones, and even the spiritual power accumulated in the cave.
The spiritual power in Dantian cannot make ends meet, and now there is only a thin layer left. The only thing to be happy about may be that under the influence of the counter-shock force that the bottleneck continues to generate, a stable mana bridge has been laid for the most part, and we have almost seen success.
hope.
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs. If you miss this opportunity, you may never be able to enter the foundation-building stage in your life. If you don't succeed, you will be a benevolent person." Zhao Shoushou cheered for himself in a low voice.
At present, everything has almost reached a turning point that can be tolerated. If it succeeds further, it can be recovered as long as there is enough time. On the contrary, if it fails, I am afraid this will be his burial place.
He swallowed a green lump filled with special juice. This was the only remaining five-hundred-year-old cactus fruit harvested from this place that might be helpful in building the foundation.
However, it is unclear how effective this suspicious treasure is. Now Zhao Shoushou can only pray that he can provide a helping hand to cross the final threshold.
When the cactus spirit fruit is taken into the stomach, one can only feel bursts of warmth. This special feeling is divided into two parts, and part of it enters the Dantian and is integrated into the mana. The total amount has not increased, but you can feel that the same amount of mana can burst out stronger.
energy of.
Another small part enters the meridians and the body. Every time it travels to the severely injured area, it can form a red temporary protective film, and the pain seems to be relieved.
Of course, the effect of this cactus spirit fruit, which is not considered a natural or earthly treasure, only goes so far. It is unrealistic to expect too much help.
"Success or failure depends on this one move" After the pain on his body was reduced by one or two, Zhao Shoushou condensed the few remaining spiritual consciousness and mana together and prepared for the final fight.
Judging from previous judgments, if everything goes well, this bottleneck can be overcome, the strength of mana liquefaction can be greatly improved, and the foundation building stage can be successfully advanced. If the failure brings backlash, it will also be enough to cause serious damage or even serious damage.
It is possible to die on the spot.
After careful consideration, this was already the best choice. The difficulty of building a foundation was far beyond his imagination. Since he had the opportunity, he would not give up easily, even if it cost his life.
