From foundation building to the condensation of the golden elixir, the essence is just to solidify the magic power in the Dantian. After the golden elixir is formed, the monk's whole body essence will be condensed into it.
Isn't this golden elixir monk the best portrayal? Under normal circumstances, it is basically impossible to detect their existence. Once angry, it will be completely different. As the saying goes, if you don't make a sound, you will be a blockbuster.
The appearance of the golden elixir monks is just a cup of tea. After condensing the golden elixir, most of the mundane affairs are left behind, and their main energy will be placed on improving their cultivation.
It was quite rare to be able to meet the two new members in person this time. After some simple encouragement, their figures had disappeared.
As for their grouping, they are completely divided based on their cultivation level. Compared with other places, what the expedition team lacks the most is the newly promoted late-stage foundation-building monks.
In order to be more flexible in executing various exploration tasks, the expedition team is divided into six expedition teams. The first team to the fourth team are all composed of ninth-level foundation-building monks.
The fifth team is composed of eighth-level foundation-building monks, and the members of the sixth team are all the lowest seventh-level foundation-building monks. Each team is composed of ten members.
Except for the sixth team, the remaining five teams are all full. Even with the addition of Zhao Shoushou and Hu Jingzhi, there are still only eight people.
There are two reasons for such a serious shortage: first, as the cultivation level increases, the team is replaced by a higher-ranked team; second, because the strength is slightly inferior, the losses will obviously be greater in various adventure activities.
.
However, as a new member, Zhao Shoushou obviously does not need to worry. According to the regulations of the expedition team, they have a two-year observation period. During this period, their only task is to follow the old members and be responsible for the patrol and defense of the base camp. Another point is
Be familiar with the business and environment here.
As the base camp of the expedition team, the most valuable thing here is a small two-story scripture storage pavilion, all of which are used to collect inherited jade slips obtained from various dangerous places over the years.
The first floor of the pavilion is all open to the public, and there are some jade slips of low value describing anecdotes, which are open to all members of the expedition team for free.
The second level contains some of the most precious inheritances such as ancient secret techniques, inherited techniques, cultivation experience, spiritual elixir recipes, etc. If you want to learn them, you must pay a certain amount of resources to trade them.
According to the grade, power, spread range, etc. of the information passed down in each jade slip, the price will be determined one by one after comprehensive evaluation by the elders of the expedition team.
Therefore, in addition to completing patrol tasks, adjusting his breath and recovering from injuries, Zhao Shoushou spent most of his time on the first floor of the Sutra Pavilion.
For other monks, the jade slips here may not be of much value, because they already have a detailed understanding of it in their past cultivation.
Most of the members of the expedition team who came here came and went in a hurry, and their goal was just to exchange various spiritual objects for various inheritances on the second floor.
However, for Zhao Shoushou, it is a typical treasure trove. A large amount of new knowledge is absorbed every day, and it can be said that the broadening of his horizons is quite obvious.
"It turns out that golden elixirs also have grades. The higher the quality of the golden elixir, the greater the potential for future development. If it is the one with the lowest achievements." When he saw this, Zhao Shoushou felt as if he had just woken up from a dream, as if a brand new door had opened.
, for the first time I had an in-depth understanding of the mysterious golden elixir.
Although he had been trying hard to search for relevant information during his previous practice, his results were always limited, and it could be said that he was unable to find a way out.
This may be the reason for the platform. Who would have thought that the information that you wanted but couldn't get is just placed carelessly on the free bookshelf on the first floor of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and no one cares about it.
Since it can appear here openly, there is no doubt about its authenticity. Every jade slip here has been strictly reviewed by the monks of the expedition team.
According to the description on the jade slip, the golden elixir is also divided into high and low grades, which can be roughly divided into three grades and nine levels. The main symbol is the golden thread that appears on the golden elixir after it is successfully condensed. The quality of the golden elixir is related to the monk.
The improvement of cultivation level is closely related.
Golden elixir can be clearly divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower. Each grade can be divided into first, second and third grades. This is strictly based on the golden lines on the golden elixir.
One to three golden threads are low-grade golden elixirs, two to six golden threads are middle-grade golden elixirs, and seven to nine golden threads are high-grade golden elixirs. Each golden thread corresponds to the division from first grade to ninth grade. The outer elixir method is obviously
is not within this scope.
If you are a low-grade golden elixir monk, your potential is quite limited. The first-grade low-grade golden elixir (with a golden thread) is also the lowest-quality golden elixir. You can only spin around in the early stage of the golden elixir throughout your life. The second-grade low-grade golden elixir depends on your cultivation.
At the peak of the early golden elixir, if there are enough opportunities, it is possible to break the bottleneck and advance to the middle stage of the golden elixir. The difficulty is quite high.
It is not difficult for a low-grade third-grade golden elixir to reach the middle stage of the golden elixir, but the path forward is getting narrower. The hope for the late-stage golden elixir is quite slim, but this level of golden elixir is also the mainstream with the largest number.
If one can condense the middle-grade golden elixir, there is a certain hope of advancing to the late stage of the golden elixir at the fourth and fifth levels. The sixth level is also the most basic threshold for promotion to the broken elixir to become a baby.
As for the achievement of high-grade golden elixir, it is something that can be met but cannot be sought. According to records, it has never appeared in the history of expedition teams. At least it requires talented monks with dual spiritual roots to have a glimmer of hope.
Of course, this is just a rough division, and it does not end the hope of all Golden Elixir monks to move forward. There have also been some monks with great luck and great opportunities. The lower-grade Golden Elixir has become a Nascent Soul, but the hope is quite slim and the number is very small.
.
"If you don't want to stop at the Golden Elixir stage, the sixth level of the middle grade is the lowest requirement. From now on, you must pay more attention to consolidating the foundation and must not neglect it in the slightest." These are Zhao Shoushou's vigilant words about himself.
As a casual practitioner with limited qualifications, perhaps the only thing worthy of praise since I entered the path of spiritual practice is to move forward step by step, and the accumulation over the years can be considered a gain.
If he simply pursues the improvement of his cultivation and forgets this only advantage, he may be lucky enough to condense the golden elixir in the future, but it will only be a low-grade third level at most. Obviously, this cannot satisfy him.
In recent times, through various travel notes here, we can know that the world of cultivation is vast, the monks are small, and the golden elixir is just another new beginning.
Perhaps only after condensing the Nascent Soul can one truly have a place in the world of cultivation. The current practice is just to lay a better foundation for the future.
Before the two-year period arrives, perhaps the most important thing for Zhao Shoushou is to practice diligently and make up for his shortcomings through various means.
