Chapter 980: Retreat to heal wounds and refining elixir (2)
The Heavenly Tribulation is an all-round test for monks during the movement of Heavenly Dao. If Zhao Shoushou still cannot make up for this shortcoming before the Tribulation is over, what will happen will be a devastating blow.
All the power of Thunder Tribulation is like a cat smelling fishy smell, almost all the power is used to attack key flaws.
It is obvious that Zhao Shoushou must not be able to bear it at this time. The existence of this flaw is likely to cause his survival rate to plummet in future disasters.
The practice in the stage of becoming a god mainly involves using mana little by little to strengthen the physical body to a certain extent. Only after reaching a certain balance can it be possible to achieve improvement in cultivation.
Therefore, at the current stage of practice, after each cycle of the Great Circular, at least half of the amount of mana is allocated to the three fingers for tempering.
With the full help of the fifth-level low-grade elixir, the strength of the three fingers on his left hand also increased in a straight line. He was very pleased with this.
"A spiritual pill is equivalent to a full year of hard work, and the effect is still above the basic level. It is not in vain that Zhao is willing to destroy his family and his clan." About fifteen days later, Zhao Shoushou finally took the first spiritual pill.
After the elixir has been refined, the effect of the elixir obtained from Colorful Continent at the risk of one's life is quite good.
At the beginning, Zhao Shoushou obtained a total of two fifth-level low-grade elixirs from the Colorful Continent: Ziyun Baodan and Shuiliyuan elixir. This time he swallowed and refined the Ziyun Baodan, but according to normal circumstances,
It is speculated that the effect of another Shuilianyuan elixir should be similar.
As the level of the elixir increases, the amount of erysipelas contained in each elixir has been in a decreasing state, but its difficulty is far greater than before.
The requirements for the strength and purity of the physical body for monks in the transformation stage are far more stringent than those at every previous level of cultivation.
Therefore, for Zhao Shoushou, getting rid of the erysipelas and toxins in the body is a more difficult problem. If the erysipelas cannot be completely driven out of the body before refining the second elixir, once all the erysipelas accumulate together, over time a
A more difficult problem.
Zhao Shoushou naturally would not allow this kind of thing to happen. Now that his cultivation has reached the current stage, he will naturally pay more attention to consolidating his own foundation. Unless it is a last resort, he will not make any mistakes easily.
It takes fifteen days to refine the elixir, but it takes at least twice as long to remove the erysipelas from the body. This means that Zhao Shoushou can refine at most six elixirs in a year, and only all the elixirs have been refined.
, it will take about seven years.
Of course, all of this is under relatively smooth conditions. If there is any mistake in the process, it may cause the time to be extended. This is an extremely normal situation, and the probability of accidents is also very high.
What's more, for him, this retreat is not just about refining the elixir, but more importantly, it is about restoring old injuries that have never been healed to their peak state.
This is not an easy thing. As we all know, any injury may seem most terrifying only at the beginning, but in fact, it is also the time when it is the least difficult to recover.
As time goes by, although the superficial injuries seem to have recovered as before, the truly fatal internal injuries are getting stronger for the same reason, and the difficulty of treatment is also rising linearly.
This is an irrefutable rule. Zhao Shoushou is a pure water attribute monk, and the exercises he practices also have a certain self-healing effect.
However, these trivial self-healing effects are far from enough and can only prevent the injury from becoming more serious.
According to his prediction, even if everything goes smoothly, if he wants to refine the elixir and treat injuries, it will take at least a hundred years to complete both goals.
In the process of completing the two goals, Zhao Shoushou set aside some time to deal with other problems of his own. It is not impossible to reach two hundred years.
"Wan'er has been with a certain person for thousands of years and is also the most important companion on the path of cultivation. How can she be left alone in her last days just for the sake of improving her cultivation?"
"Not to mention whether Zhao can forgive himself, it will definitely leave an irreparable regret in Taoist heart. The omnipresent demon in the sky will probably stare at me motionless in the future."
Zhao Shoushou would not allow this kind of thing to happen either publicly or privately, so the time for this retreat was strictly limited to two hundred years.
In the last hundred years of Wan'er's life, Zhao Shoushou would never leave her, even if she let these hundred years slip away at her fingertips, she would not care.
Whether they are high-ranking monks or ordinary mortals, only husband and wife are the ones who stay together the longest. Seeing each other off at the last moment is an eternal truth. How could Zhao Shoushou violate it?
With each spiritual elixir he refined, Zhao Shoushou could clearly feel the growth of his own cultivation, especially the three fingers of his left hand that had not been strengthened. With the supply of sufficient spiritual power, their improvement speed was at least as fast as other parts of the body.
has more than doubled, and the inherent shortcomings are being quickly made up for.
Under the infusion of sufficient essence of mana, his body and mana gradually reached a relatively balanced position. Under the guidance of the bottleneck in the middle stage of divine transformation, he could clearly feel the areas that were lacking and needed to be strengthened.
This can obviously be easily achieved to get twice the result with half the effort, which is definitely a rare state for monks who are in retreat.
During this process, Zhao Shoushou also clearly felt the effect of the spiritual elixir again, and he was intoxicated with the rapid improvement of his cultivation and could not extricate himself.
The sun rises and the moon sets, the stars move, and spring and summer alternate. In order to find a secluded place, his cave was originally located in a relatively remote and unnoticed place on the holy mountain. After more than a hundred years of time,
After that, no one noticed his presence.
Outside the already remote cave, due to lack of care and sufficient time, the layers of dry green grass have gone through countless life cycles.
From the surface, you can't even tell that this is the cave of a monk in the transformation stage. It looks like a wilderness without any life.
According to the regulations of the Holy Mountain, the caves of the monks of the Transformation Stage are within a radius of a hundred miles. Only with the permission of the owner can one enter this area. Otherwise, it will be regarded as a provocation to the monks of the Transformation Stage living in the cave.
It is precisely based on these that every monk in the transformation stage can safely practice in seclusion in his own cave. However, Zhao Shoushou never expected that precisely because of the quiet and quiet environment here, two uninvited guests appeared outside the cave on this day.
