Chapter 672: The return of the cormorants and the retreat of the monks
After a monk's cultivation level is promoted, it takes a varying amount of time to stabilize his cultivation level. In fact, the same is true for spiritual beasts. The only exception is the current cross-level challenge and after success, it will devour the opponent and use the power contained in the blood to stabilize it.
Cultivation.
I have just been promoted to the third level of low-grade, and the power in my Dantian has not yet been completely transformed. The essence in the blood food can just provide a helping hand to complete it quickly.
Blood food is as important to spiritual beasts as elixirs are to monks. The Plum Blossom Snake Demon is a relatively weak existence at the same level because it lacks the means to deal with enemies, but this has nothing to do with the energy contained in its body.
Influenced.
The complete corpse of a Plum Blossom Snake that had been promoted to the third level for many years was used as blood food, which was enough to meet the needs of the two newly promoted cormorants to stabilize their cultivation.
After the two little guys completed the promotion task, they did not continue to wander in the wild. After looking at each other, the little fat cormorant took a snake gallbladder about the size of three fists into the spirit opened up with the advancement of cultivation.
In the beast space, he quickly headed towards the underground city under the lake.
The spirit beast space is a space that can be opened up in the body of a spirit beast after it reaches the third level, and is specially used to carry some special treasures.
Of course, this requires preparation in advance. Not every spirit beast has the opportunity to open up its own spirit beast space, especially for some monster beasts that survive in the wild.
The opening of the spirit beast space requires refining a space-attributed void stone in advance. The grade of this spiritual material is only the third-level low-grade, but its scarcity is quite high.
Zhao Shoushou was just lucky enough to find two of them in his past practice career. After refining them all with two cormorants, he has not obtained the third piece so far.
It can be seen from this that it is very difficult for monsters without the help of monks to obtain and refine the Sky Stone, not to mention that opening up a space for spirit beasts will not substantially help their combat effectiveness. Most monsters do not have the ability to do this.
Not paying too much attention.
One month after "Quack, quack, quack", the two cormorants returned to the underground city under the lake. While swimming on the surface of the lake, they kept calling, as if they were sharing their joy with their owners.
"After a few years apart, you two little guys are very lucky. You were successfully promoted to the third level of low-grade. Zhao's hard work was not in vain. Four complete bear paws." Zhao Shoushou took out the white bear that was specially kept as a reward.
Palm.
When the white bear carcass was processed, it was specially reserved and the richest and most delicious parts were selected. There is no doubt about its quality.
"Quagua" the two cormorants excitedly divided it up, and Xiaopang spit out a piece of snake gall and returned it to Zhao Shoushou as a gift in return.
"Haha, you actually know how to share the spoils with Zhao. Not bad." After playing with the two cormorants, Zhao Shoushou returned to the city lord's palace, this time preparing to practice in seclusion without any distractions.
Originally, according to his plan, the retreat should start as soon as he returned to the underground city under the lake. Unfortunately, traces of third-level dryads were found around him, and Sun Jichang was unable to resist them, so he could only delay.
This time, two third-level low-grade cormorants returned and reoccupied this small lake territory. Under normal circumstances, it should be no problem.
Even if by luck some monsters or tree demons discover the existence of the dungeon, with the cooperation of Sun Jichang and the two cormorants, safety should be safe.
To put it ten thousand steps back, even if a strong person attacks, Zhao Shoushou is just in seclusion. At worst, the seclusion is interrupted, and he can still attack the enemy.
Ten days later, after completing some complicated matters in the dungeon and taking out four pieces of good quality third-level low-grade spiritual materials and giving them to Sun Jichang to meet his needs for refining magic weapons, he once again closed the door of the city lord's palace and entered deep retreat.
During practice.
Zhao Shoushou's current cultivation level is already at the late stage of the fifth level of the golden elixir. The real purpose of this retreat is to reach the late stage of the golden elixir. All the basis is based on the large number of spiritual elixirs in the storage bag.
The threshold between the middle stage of the Golden Elixir and the late stage of the Golden Elixir is insurmountable, like a bottomless trench that stretches across the monk's eyes.
There are two things he plans to use to cross the trench. First, the marrow coins purchased from the underground city, and second, the Hunyuan Spiritual Pill obtained from the Thunderbolt Monk's storage bag.
If he has enough luck, the combination of the two will naturally help him to successfully advance to the late stage of Jindan. If he is unlucky and is attacked by the poison of the marrow coin, not to mention the promotion of cultivation, he may not be able to save his life.
.
In these days, although Zhao Shoushou has been searching for some antidote elixirs and has obtained some results, he still does not dare to relax at all.
Once he is finally attacked by the marrow poison in a series of unlucky events, it is still a matter of uncertainty whether he can save his life, but his firm Taoist heart still does not allow him to retreat in the slightest.
The City Lord's Mansion is completely closed, and is defended by a special patrol every day. The real place used for retreat is a quiet room more than a hundred feet deep under the City Lord's Mansion, closest to the underground city's spiritual veins, and where the spiritual power is most abundant.
It was a secret room he built specifically for himself before opening up the underground city.
No one except Zhao Shoushou knew about this special secret room. It was usually sealed with a set of formation flags. With a little bit of spiritual power gathered, over time it almost became a thick white gas that filled the entire room bit by bit.
In the secret room, it is waiting for the monks to refine it.
"After many years of accumulation, the spiritual power has almost reached the point where it has been transformed into liquid. It can be regarded as a big help. This retreat can only succeed and not fail." Zhao Shoushou murmured, secretly making up his mind.
If we miss the opening of the teleportation array this time, it will take another hundred years, and we may have less and less time and opportunities to attack the Nascent Soul.
In addition, according to some records on jade slips, every time the teleportation array is opened, it is theoretically distributed evenly to the mainland cultivation world, overseas cultivation world, and Central Plains cultivation world.
But the fact is that there is a certain focus in every allocation process. This time the focus is on the Central Plains cultivation world, which must not be missed.
It is precisely because of the prosperity of the cultivation world in the Central Plains that there are more monks and monsters participating in the battle than ever before, and every seat in the teleportation array is built on blood.
As long as you can improve your cultivation strength by one point during this retreat, it means that the possibility of successfully reaching the Central Plains Cultivation World increases by one point. From this, we can see the significance of this retreat.
"Retreat is just the beginning. Zhao's efforts will definitely yield enough rewards." After trying hard to calm down the turmoil in his heart, Zhao Shoushou began to operate the Great Zhoutian in accordance with the requirements of "Condensing Water Art".
The sufficient spiritual energy in the secret room rushed into the monk's body like moths rushing to the flame, even far exceeding the monk's refining ability. For a moment, there was a slight feeling of swelling in the meridians. This was very important to him.
It's a strange feeling that hasn't happened in a long time.
