This is also the biggest disadvantage of casual cultivators compared with sects and family disciples. Everything needs to be explored slowly from scratch, and the price required is indescribable.
It can be said that every casual cultivator needs to consume a lot of time and energy every time he takes a step forward, and the efficacy of each elixir cannot be fully exerted in the first refining process, so some waste is inevitable.
.
Zhao Shoushou also has the same problems and troubles. Whether it is Qiling Grass or Xiangyun Seven Star Grass, it is the first time to take it. Even though he has tried his best to search for relevant jade slip records before, he still knows it but does not know it.
So a state of affairs.
The most important thing for him now is to reduce the loss of its efficacy as much as possible during the process of taking the elixir, so that it can exert its strongest power and achieve the best effect above the current bottleneck.
Relatively speaking, the effect of the two elixirs is the Qiling Grass, which can only be used at the last moment. Currently, the only one that can be refined is the Xiangyun Seven Star Grass with unknown effects.
The growth of this special spiritual grass is mainly by pulling the light of the stars emitted by the Big Dipper. After taking it, the monks also use the help of this star power to break the bottleneck and improve their cultivation.
The star power contained in Xiangyun Seven Star Grass is quite strong. In addition to assisting in cultivation, it will also strengthen the body to a certain extent.
The second role is also quite rare. After all, with the improvement of cultivation, the role played by the body will become more and more important, just like a bucket. Only by continuously increasing its strength and volume can it be possible to hold more.
A lot of water.
According to the information that Zhao Shoushou pieced together from some jade slips, the process of condensing the golden elixir for monks is a considerable test for the physical strength.
Some heavenly materials and earthly treasures that are helpful in improving physical strength are also indispensable treasures in the process of condensing the golden elixir. This is especially an insurmountable threshold for monks who have not paid attention to improving physical strength in their previous practice.
However, this is good news for Zhao Shoushou. Although he is just a casual cultivator with no foundation, in order to improve his explosive power in battle, he has always attached great importance to his physical body.
If coupled with the further strengthening of Xiangyun Seven Star Grass this time, based on physical strength alone, it must be among the best among the same level.
"I hope I can help someone to break through the current bottleneck and advance to the seventh level of foundation building as soon as possible. At this point, we can only succeed and not fail." Before taking the elixir, he couldn't help but comfort himself.
The Xiangyun Qixing grass is about an inch long, with seven leaves emitting gleaming blue light and seven stars corresponding to the Big Dipper. It looks quite mysterious.
The spiritual grass melts in your mouth, and you can only feel warm power flowing down your throat. Most of it enters the Dantian, while a small part is dissipated in the body.
This kind of dissipation is not a disappearance in the true sense. Although no trace of its existence can be found, the existence of the strengthening effect can still be felt. Some of the original hidden wounds that have not been repaired are also recovering bit by bit at this time, and you can even clearly feel the physical body.
of enhancement.
After most of the power of Xiangyun Qixingcao is integrated into Dantian, a layer of blue light suddenly appears in the originally choppy sea of mana. Occasionally, a trace of starlight can be found, adding a mysterious brilliance.
And after this special star power was integrated, the originally swaying sea of mana suddenly calmed down, brewing a new round of power.
It's like a fist that is accumulating power. If it doesn't come out, it will be like lightning and thunder, hitting the vital point and succeeding in one go.
"Lucky Cloud Seven Star Grass, Big Dipper Star Light, Imperial Order" I don't know how long it took. After I noticed the awakening of the power in my Dantian, I heard a loud shout. The two new powers after fusion were like arrows leaving the string.
It turned into a steady stream of arrows and entered the bottleneck that was already in a dilemma.
As the saying goes that all things in the world are in conflict with each other, this sentence also applies to the bottlenecks of all sizes that monks face in the process of practice. Mountains that originally seemed indestructible will be weakened in an instant under the influence of the power of the stars.
When the mana contained in the power of Lucky Seven Star Grass comes into contact with the bottleneck, the bottleneck that has not been loosened for a long time is like encountering a nemesis, realizing a rapid transformation from solid rock to tofu.
The cave, which was only as thick as a thumb, quickly melted away visible to the naked eye, extending deep into the mountain-like bottleneck.
Of course, the seemingly easy breakthrough is also a big test for the monks. In the process of constantly breaking the bottleneck, the consumption of mana and spiritual consciousness is also quite rapid.
According to current predictions, the power of an entire Xiangyun Seven Star Grass can only last for half a cup of tea at most. The power of the fluorescent blue stars in the Dantian is disappearing in a manner visible to the naked eye.
Another point that needs to be noted is that after the star power is exhausted, the counterattack from the bottleneck also needs to be accumulated in advance to resist.
In the process of breaking through the bottleneck in cultivation, the faster you advance, the stronger the backlash will be. There is a special proportional relationship between the two parties.
If the monk cannot block the counterattack, all previous efforts will be in vain and everything will be restored to the original state in an instant, so this is a place where no mistakes are allowed.
The time for half a cup of tea is just fleeting, but the results obtained at this time are quite considerable, and the bottleneck that was originally stalemate and difficult to move forward has been reached halfway.
The later backlash was due to Zhao Shoushou's step-by-step persistence. Although there was a slight loss, most of the fruits of victory could be guaranteed.
The remaining bottlenecks still adopt the previous strategy, taking the trouble to break through the enemy's strongest fortress bit by bit. As long as there is enough time, it can be completed.
As for the final and strongest point, it is naturally assisted by the Qiling Grass. Zhao Shoushou firmly believes that the final victory can be achieved.
This retreat is an attempt to break through the bottleneck and advance to the later stage of foundation building. Although every step forward is difficult, overall it is moving forward little by little. As of now, it can be confirmed that the probability of success is more than 80%.
For a monk, this is already a very high possibility worth striving for. How could he give up so easily when things have come to this?
As the sun sets and the moon rises, the day alternates, spring passes and autumn comes, the entire Hululing Island has been in a process of steady development without any interruption by any force, showing a thriving development trend.
Until another day ten years later, whirlpools suddenly rose in the direction of the island owner's mansion. The concentration of spiritual energy around it dropped rapidly, and it continued to condense around the vortex and disappeared into the cave. It looked like a big monster inside.
Never enough to eat, greedily devouring any bit of spiritual energy floating in the air that may be around.
"The island protection patrol team gathered, with the island master's mansion as the center, no monks are allowed to gather within a radius of 100 meters."
