Chapter 674: The bottleneck in the later stage of Jindan
At the beginning of the seclusion, his cultivation level was at the late stage of the fifth level of the golden elixir. In addition to using the spiritual power accumulated in the secret room for a long time in the first year of seclusion as a means to consolidate the foundation, the rest of the time was assisted by a large number of spiritual elixirs.
, quickly improve one's own cultivation.
It is also not easy to refine the third-level middle-grade elixir. Each elixir contains a large amount of erysipelas, and it will take at least a month to eliminate all the toxins from the body.
In addition to normal refining, if some problems arise during the process, the cycle will naturally be extended a lot, and no more than ten third-level middle-grade elixirs can be refined in a year.
In addition to the marrow coins, almost all of the 30,000 high-grade spiritual stones in the above-ground city were used to purchase spiritual elixirs. In addition to the trophies found in the lightning attribute storage bags, in the tenth year of seclusion, Zhao Shoushou was successfully promoted to gold.
At the sixth level of alchemy, after the state is stabilized, the practice of the next reincarnation begins.
In addition to sitting and eating, every once in a while, Sun Jichang would follow his instructions and exchange the profits earned in the underground city under the lake into elixirs, almost using the power of the entire underground city to support him.
Practice quickly.
In the past twenty years, because there are sufficient spiritual pills, the most important of which are four bottles of third-level middle-grade Yunyuan Pills. Each refined one can get the equivalent of three or even four Juyuan Pills.
The effect of Dan.
This spiritual elixir is indeed one of the treasures that is known in the world of cultivation as the most suitable for monks to refine in the later stages of the Golden elixir. Especially after being promoted to the sixth level of the Golden elixir, it has the most obvious experience.
It can be said that in just twenty years, Yunyuan Dan should be the first contributor to the smooth promotion from the early stage of the sixth level of the Golden Elixir to the peak state of the sixth level of the Golden Elixir.
After reaching the peak of the sixth level of Jindan, Zhao Shoushou has clearly noticed the insurmountable bottleneck lying in front of him, like a huge trench that is boundless and may have a big earthquake at any time.
What he needs to do now is to build a bridge in this dangerous environment, first use part of the mana to pass through, and then use the golden elixir as pure mana to fill it up little by little. When the last ditch disappears,
It can truly be called the pinnacle of the late Jindan period, and has the qualifications to impact the Nascent Soul.
Every time Zhao Shoushou controlled his magic power and tried to build a stable passage on it, every time he tried to build from the trench outward, there would be a steady stream of vibrations.
With the vibration of the trench, no matter how solid the magic power is, it will become weak and unable to last at all. Zhao Shoushou tried more than a hundred times but never succeeded.
Of course, after every failure, the magic power in the golden elixir will be tempered to a certain extent, making it more pure. This can be regarded as the only gain.
It was not until half a year later that Zhao Shoushou managed to build the bridge of mana a few feet away from the trench under the shaking of the trench.
He didn't even have time to celebrate his success. A strange howling wind swept away all the magic power. Naturally, all his efforts had no effect.
What this strange wind brings is a kind of bone-corrosive cold. According to common sense, a golden elixir monk who has experienced hundreds of battles will not be affected by the surrounding temperature at all, but the wind from the bottleneck trench
But there was a biting cold that was unbearable.
The strangest thing is that the magic power, which was already quite solid, could no longer hold on in the cold wind. It quickly completely dissipated in the trench. After many tests, only about
One-third of the cases successfully returned to the golden elixir.
"Sure enough, it is the bottleneck for promotion to the later stage of Jindan. Zhao Zhao finally understands the difficulty of it today." This was his only feeling after countless failures.
Just like the previous attack on the bottleneck, after each failure, although it will have a purifying effect on the mana, the counterattack force is also inevitable.
Compared with the past, both physical cultivation and actual strength cultivation have made great progress, and they naturally have a stronger ability to withstand the backlash after failure.
And compared to the previous bottleneck that required a steady stream of impacts, the bottleneck in the later stages of Jindan promotion required starting over from the beginning after every failure. It was considered to be a period of rest, so the body was still within the tolerable range.
within.
The only thing that has been in a state of tension from the beginning to now is the meridians. Even though I was prepared before and bought some special meridians to refine and protect them, there are still wounds like threads.
When a monk is trying to break through the bottleneck by promoting cultivation, the meridians are always the key points that bear the greatest pressure, and are also the fundamental reason for success.
The third-level mid-grade pulse-protecting pill is also one of Zhao Shoushou's gains in the underground city. This is a spiritual pill that specifically protects meridians and is one of the indispensable treasures in the promotion process of monks.
In the process of his continuous attempts, time was also passing quickly. The closest to victory in the passage he tried to establish was two-thirds of the way through the trench. It was only one step away from victory, and it was even very clear.
Look clearly at the other side of the trench.
Unfortunately, under the double test of sudden acid rain and flames, the success was ultimately wasted. What was wasted this time was a Hunyuan Spiritual Pill obtained from the Thunderbolt Monk.
After trying his best to calm down the backlash and stabilize his injuries, Zhao Shoushou could only stare at a black and white marrow coin in a daze.
"After all, you still need to work hard for your character and luck. After taking the marrow coin, life and death are determined, and wealth is in heaven. Whether you can succeed can only rely on God's blessing. It really conflicts with the habit of monks to control their own destiny." Regarding this
He has always hated a fate that was not in his own hands.
However, as time went by and the next teleportation array was opened closer and closer, Zhao Shoushou no longer had a better choice.
Without the help of marrow coins, I am afraid that this retreat to attack the late stage of Jindan is destined to end in failure, and it can be expected that there will be no chance to attack the late stage of Jindan for a long time in the future.
Zhao Shoushou was destined to be unable to accept this. After thinking about it for a while, the expression on his face gradually calmed down. He solemnly took out a half-black and half-white coin the size of a copper coin from the storage bag and swallowed it in one gulp.
After entering the stomach, he immediately closed his eyes to refine it, waiting for the final effect.
The marrow coins are different from ordinary elixirs. They are far from the state of melting in the mouth. After entering the Dantian one by one, they continue to revolve around the golden elixir.
At this time, the monks can only rely on resigning themselves to fate. Only after the marrow coins have absorbed a sufficient amount of pure mana from the golden elixir will the refining and fusion begin.
It is precisely because it is too close to the golden elixir that once it emits toxins, its effects are irresistible.
