Chapter 333: A blessing in disguise - building the fifth floor
The spiritual power from the Water Spirit Yuan Fruit is obviously different from the spiritual power from the outside world. In addition to being purer, it also has a certain effect on strengthening the meridians of monks.
In addition, every time a ray of spiritual power is refined and enters the Dantian, part of it will always escape into the body, slowly making up for and improving the previous deficit of the body in this way.
Throughout the whole process, Zhao Shoushou could almost clearly feel the steady improvement in his strength bit by bit. This feeling was really intoxicating and difficult to extricate oneself from.
It is precisely because of the special function of the Five Elements Spiritual Yuan Fruit that after getting the map mark, he traveled thousands of miles and faced all kinds of dangers to reach the Giant Whale Island.
Isn't this the time to enjoy the results? Another important result is the jade bottle that is turquoise and contains the elixir. It is at the last moment that he would rather risk the interception by many monks than to erupt from the sea of chaos.
The treasures plundered.
The jade bottle contains the famous second-level middle-grade green elixir, which can help monks in the middle stage of foundation building improve their cultivation.
There is no doubt about its effect, and it can be called the best among its peers. The most important thing is that the content of erysipelas is also quite rare, and its impact on monks is almost non-existent.
The refining of the green elixir is quite complicated and requires at least an experienced second-level high-grade alchemist to be sure of success. On weekdays, such elixirs are basically controlled by major sects.
Zhao Shoushou and other casual cultivators naturally had no chance to take it. Who would have thought that it was just an accidental opportunity to encounter a huge spurt of divine beasts that had not appeared for hundreds of years. How lucky is this?
Since the green elixir is so precious, taking it from the fourth level of foundation building to the fifth level of foundation building would be a waste of its effect. The really appropriate time should be at the sixth level of foundation building.
Therefore, although Zhao Shoushou has taken them out at present, the order of their arrangement is quite lagging behind. Unless he has the last resort, he will choose to take out one or two pills to provide the final motivation needed to move towards the fifth level of foundation building.
The refining of the first Water Elemental Fruit lasted for two months, and the effect was considerable. It was worth a year of hard work, and was almost comparable to ten spiritual pills of the same level.
And because the Water Spirit Yuan Fruit has the effect of solidifying the foundation, after the refining is completed, in addition to the improvement in cultivation level, the density and quality of the mana are also significantly improved.
The promotion of the monk from the Qi Refining Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage realizes the transformation of mana from gas to liquid, while the advancement from the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Golden Elixir Stage realizes the condensation of liquid into solid.
During the nine minor stages of cultivation in the Foundation Establishment Stage, each level can slightly improve the quality of the mana in the Dantian, which will be of great help to the final impact on the Golden Core Stage.
In fact, the Qi refining stage, the foundation building stage and even the golden elixir stage are all the same. This is the main reason why Zhao Shoushou has been very paranoid about consolidating the foundation since he embarked on the path of cultivation.
His own qualifications are only four spiritual roots. After these years of hard work, he has almost exhausted all means to improve his cultivation. At most, he can only be comparable to some three spiritual root monks, and with real double spiritual roots and mutated spiritual roots.
, there is a very essential difference between Tianlinggen.
If you can't be down-to-earth at every step and continuously increase your own foundation, how can you break through all the obstacles and condense the golden elixir?
You must know that in the cultivation world of Nuo Da, even the monks with dual spiritual roots and Tianlinggen have no certainty of victory in the face of this huge bottleneck, let alone him?
Therefore, it is understandable to be obsessed with a special treasure like the Water Elemental Fruit. After a total of three Water Elemental Fruits are refined, they will naturally have a considerable effect on solidifying its foundation.
Time flies by, and the process of seclusion is even more so. In the blink of an eye, it is the end of the second year of seclusion. With the disappearance of the four ghosts in the outer sea, some bold monks have begun to wander around Xuanyuanling Island.
Fortunately, two cormorants had already begun to dominate the nearby sea under his powerful arrangements a year ago. Although their numbers could not be compared with the Xuanyuan Turtle, their individual combat effectiveness was not inferior.
As long as they were not besieged by a large number of Xuanyuan Turtles, they would be able to do so with ease. With the help of the red-dot flying ants secretly sent by Zhao Shoushou, they could actually gain a foothold here.
And relying on his strong combat power and close cooperation, he successfully subdued two second-order low-grade green swordfish sea monsters nearby, as well as some first-order mid-to-high-grade sea monsters, and became a small overlord in the neighborhood.
However, their purpose is not to compete with the Xuanyuan Turtle for the various blood Ganoderma lucidum in the sea, but to expel or even hunt the monks passing by to serve as blood food.
It was precisely because of the efforts of the two cormorants that Zhao Shoushou had the opportunity to continue in retreat. Of course, Xuanyuan Turtle's contribution was also not small.
Under such unprecedented stable conditions, Zhao Shoushou's cultivation was also advancing rapidly, and he was only one step away from the fifth level of foundation building.
After both mana and body reach their peak state, you only need to successfully cross the last bottleneck to successfully upgrade your cultivation to the fifth level of foundation building.
There is a certain gap in strength between each small realm of the monks in the foundation building stage, but it is not a huge difference. However, the fifth level of foundation building is a sign of a monk's strength and potential.
Under the influence of sufficient spiritual power supplied by the Five Elements Spiritual Yuan Fruit, Spiritual Pills, Demonic Pills, Spiritual Veins, and various heavenly materials and earthly treasures, his cultivation level increased at a speed visible to the naked eye, and did not stop until he approached the bottleneck.
The bottleneck between the fourth and fifth floors of Foundation Establishment is like a medium-sized gap, and it needs to be filled with enough resources to get through it smoothly.
These filling materials are naturally high-purity mana that has been refined several times, but there are still a lot of holes between the Dantian and the bottleneck.
If you want to successfully replenish the gaps in the bottleneck with mana, these large and small holes naturally need to be filled in first. This is why each bottleneck requires a lot of time and spiritual energy.
There is a saying in the world of cultivation that the process of breaking bottlenecks and improving cultivation is also a process of making up for one's own shortcomings. Only by constantly filling in all the shortcomings can one go further in the future.
The mana in the Dantian is vibrating under the influence of spiritual consciousness, and part of it is condensed into high-quality threads, spiraling upward little by little. Its function is to fill the large and small holes in the middle and complete it.
Of course, this process is not smooth sailing. Whenever you try to fill these holes, there will always be bursts of inexplicable counterattacks with unknown origins. Most of the time, these threads made of mana do nothing.
.
They may even be torn apart during the counter-shock, carrying a certain amount of backlash and causing some minor injuries. However, this should not be underestimated. It is entirely possible for these injuries to add up to a large number.
In the world of cultivation, there is no shortage of cases where people have no choice but to give up the bottleneck impact at the most critical moment due to the erosion of the backlash in the process of cultivation. This is not a very unusual thing in the world of cultivation.
