After several days of hard work, he finally injected part of his merit into the Thunder Whip Talisman, successfully achieving his original goal.
After completing all this, he could finally sleep peacefully. He has been in a state of mental stress since the last battle at Qingyuan Mountain.
He slept so deeply that almost as soon as he closed his eyes, he entered a state of complete relaxation and relief.
After waking up, Gu Changsheng felt full of energy and immediately began to count the resources on hand!
At this time, the foundation-building elixirs in his hand are quite sufficient and complete, and he is not in a hurry to count them. Instead, he needs to sort out the newly acquired magic weapons and talismans.
Among them, besides the Golden Thunder Sword, there were several other things that attracted Gu Changsheng's attention.
The first is the 'Fire Yang Bead' obtained from Zhang Cheng's storage bag. Gu Changsheng can use the Golden Yang True Fire in his body to fill this bead in advance. At the critical moment, its power is even more powerful than the Golden Yang Talisman.
More than double.
Moreover, this item can be reused, which is equivalent to giving Gu Changsheng a very powerful killing weapon, especially when dealing with ghost cultivators.
The second is an emerald pot, which is a magic weapon that can be filled with poisonous mist. It can hold up to nine kinds of poisonous mist. After filling it, the poisonous mist inside can be sprayed out from the mouth of the pot, allowing it to mix near the enemy.
Reactions can produce various strange effects!
Although any kind of five-element shield can block a single poisonous mist from the outside, ensuring that cultivators will not be harmed by the poisonous mist.
However, after the poisonous mist is mixed, it will produce effects such as explosion, deflagration, freezing, and adhesion. In actual combat, it can be used in conjunction with the illusion array and trap array to defeat the enemy by surprise.
Another piece is a fiery red triangular flag. This magical weapon can summon a thunder and fire array.
As long as you inject spiritual power and wave it with force, a large cloud of thunder and fire will immediately be transformed, subjecting the enemy to double attacks of fireballs and lightning. Moreover, the cloud of thunder and fire can also cover up the traces of the flag owner. It is a magic weapon capable of both offense and defense.
.
The last item is the 'Demon Poison Blood Soul Flag'. Although this flag was hit hard by the golden thunder of destruction, as a magic weapon that can swallow souls, it is very effective in dealing with those Taoist ghosts.
Just use the thunder whip to force the Dao ghost out of the body of 'Hundred Mandrill', and use the poisonous and powerful ghost in this flag to trap the Dao ghost.
Then use other magic weapons to beat the 'Ghost Dou' back to its original shape and release the ghost trapped in it, so that you can obtain the merits from heaven.
After all, 'Hundred Mandrills' is a natural disaster that traps souls and ghosts, which will cause the gap in the way of heaven to become wider and wider. Only by eliminating it can the normal cycle of reincarnation in the way of heaven be restored.
Therefore, eliminating the 'Hundred Mandrills' is almost equivalent to nipping the ghost disaster in the bud, and you can get the merits from heaven.
Gu Changsheng didn't pay much attention to the remaining pile of mid- to low-level magic weapons, and used them all to refine the formation flags and formation weapons, including those low-to-mid-level talismans that were not very practical.
In order to ensure the safety of future cultivation and refining of poison pills, defense work should not be trivial, so Gu Changsheng began to be busy all day long.
He needs to refine a new flag array device, strengthen the defense of the temporary cave, infuse the 'Fire Sun Pearl' with real fire, and also go to the edge of the 'Hundred Poison Swamp' to check the terrain correction map, and bring back some poisonous weeds and poisonous insects...
After half a year of preparation, this busy and fulfilling life is finally coming to an end.
Just yesterday, the 'simple' defense system outside the cave was finally completed, the 'Fire Sun Pearl' was filled, and several basic poisonous mists were also filled into the jade pot.
Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind!
After making sure that everything was ready, Gu Changsheng began to take pills and meditate and practice. He got a large amount of "Spirit Gathering Pills" and "Qi Refining Pills" from Taiqing Ancestor Cave, which was enough for him to successfully advance to the peak stage of foundation building.
However, as your cultivation level increases, the efficacy of these elixirs will also decrease.
This is actually closely related to the spiritual pressure in the body. As the cultivation level increases, the spiritual pressure in the body will also increase, and the spiritual power provided by the pill is constant, so the spiritual power impact formed by the pill will
Being counteracted by the spiritual pressure in the body, its effect on strengthening the muscles and bones and expanding the meridians will become worse and worse.
However, for ordinary people, the way to cultivate immortality is divided into two parts, one is self-cultivation, and the other is spiritual cultivation. It is easy to understand that self-cultivation is to make the body capable of storing more spiritual energy from heaven and earth, while spiritual cultivation is to make one's consciousness closer to the way of heaven.
To put it bluntly, it is to manage oneself like the way of heaven, create an endless world in the body, and make one's own small world synchronize with the heaven and earth, and last forever.
Self-cultivation is relatively simple. As long as you have enough heavenly materials and earthly treasures, create enough spiritual power to temper your body, and then use certain exercises, your body can gradually improve its ability to store the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
It is more difficult to cultivate the gods. Once there is a deviation in understanding the profound meaning of heaven, the direction of cultivation will deviate, and it will become those evil cultivators such as immortal immortals, earth immortals, demon immortals, etc.
These cultivators all had problems when they were cultivating gods and transformed their bodies into vicious monsters.
Gu Changsheng was originally an immortal soul and did not need to cultivate to the gods. He was already a Daluo immortal, and his mind was already very close to the way of heaven.
He only needs to cultivate himself, so as long as he has enough heavenly materials and earthly treasures, he can quickly improve his cultivation!
But at this time, the human world where Gu Changsheng was located was depleting spiritual energy very quickly and could no longer provide enough heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Therefore, if he wants to return to the fairy world, he can only obtain various elixirs by looking for opportunities. In the human world where he is at this time, the elixirs for the Qi refining stage can be bought in the market, and the elixirs for the foundation building stage can actually be bought in the market.
You can buy some, or get them through exchange.
However, after reaching the pill-forming stage, it is difficult to find the genius treasures to be used. All pill-forming monks will hide these things, unless they pay a huge price to get some.
Therefore, when Gu Changsheng becomes a monk in the pill-forming stage, it will be difficult for him to collect the pills needed to advance to a higher realm with just one or two chances like now.
Of course, in addition to ordinary adventures and treasure hunts, because of his meritorious deeds, he will get more opportunities than ordinary cultivators. Of course, these opportunities are not given in vain, but they need to work hard to get them.
At this time, Gu Changsheng already had a lot of merit, and he had a vague hunch that a rare opportunity was waiting for him in the 'Immortal Devouring Valley'.
This is the benefit brought by merit, which is equivalent to a kind of supernatural power that communicates between heaven and earth. Having this ability to predict in advance can make people make some preparations in advance, so that when the opportunity of heaven comes, they can have the strength to seize the opportunity.
But no matter what, the improvement of cultivation is the key to seizing the opportunity. Like Qingyuan Mountain last time, relying on Zhang Lei to solve the opponent does not mean that we will not encounter it in the future, but the probability will be very low, which is equivalent to a blind cat.
Encountered a dead rat!
Thinking of this, Gu Changsheng quickly gathered his mind, waited until his mind calmed down, took the elixir, and started practicing.
Once you enter a state of meditation, you will forget the concept of time. In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed, and Gu Changsheng has cultivated his body to the stage of foundation building subversion.
Over the years, a large number of ghosts and monsters have come from the direction of the 'Immortal Devouring Valley', but they were scared back by the 'Venomous Blood Soul Flag' he planted on the top of the mountain, which is why this pure environment exists.
During this period, Gu Changsheng stayed in the cave all day long and did not meet with outsiders. The assassination attempt by his enemies that he had expected to come in the past ten years did not appear.
Except for Peng Liang, no one else came here. In the past ten years, the two of them had only met once.
The spiritual stones that Gu Changsheng distributes every month are all stored in Peng Liang. This is also Gu Changsheng's intention. Sixty spiritual stones a month is a huge wealth for ordinary cultivators, but for him it is not.
It's not of much value. If anyone wants to plot this spiritual stone, just go find Peng Liang. I'm too lazy to mess with such nonsense.
In addition, after reshaping the body with the 'Qihuang Body Shaping Pill', Gu Changsheng's cultivation level returned to the middle stage of foundation building, making his cultivation speed look more reasonable.
At this time, the "Qi Refining Pill" has completely lost its effectiveness, and the only way to achieve any effect is by relying on the Spirit Gathering Pill!
Fortunately, Gu Changsheng's strength at this time was close to the early stage of pill formation, and he was already capable of breaking into the 'Hundred Poison Swamp'. Although he still had concerns about entering the core 'Immortal Devouring Valley', other places
