After swallowing the bitten barrier-breaking pill, severe pain shot through his body, and Gu Qing's expression was slightly distorted.
The violent medicinal power wreaked havoc on his limbs and bones, like strong wind entering his body. The muscles and bones all over his body crackled and exploded, and he was sweating profusely in an instant.
The pain eroded his bones, and it wasn't until half an hour later that Gu Qing got used to this horrific pain.
However, everything has two sides, and the benefit of chewing up the elixir and swallowing it is also obvious, that is, the elixir's medicinal power will explode much faster.
The quality of this barrier-breaking pill is indeed high.
Its violent medicinal power, under his deliberate guidance, continuously suppressed the spiritual power in his body, like forcing a spring. He could sense that the spiritual power in his body was like the prelude to a landslide, and it seemed that the flood was about to overwhelm the dam.
But as he continued to refine, the violent medicinal power transformed from the Barrier-Breaking Pill was following the meridians of his body, turning into a huge net that could not be missed, and finally forcibly absorbed all the spiritual power in his body. It condensed into one!
This process even took less than an hour, which was shorter than the time it took him to adjust his state before!
If it were an ordinary quality Barrier-Breaking Pill, even if Gu Qing still chewed it up and swallowed it, this process would still take about an hour or three. If it were a low-quality Barrier-Breaking Pill, this process would even take two hours. above.
At that time, the spiritual power in the monk's body was exhausted, and whether he could complete the breakthrough could only depend on luck.
Master Zhai Tong is worthy of being a second-grade alchemist.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Gu Qing opened his eyes at this moment.
He quickly separated twenty-four low-grade water spiritual stones from the one hundred low-grade spiritual stones, and smashed them into pieces with a palm strike in front of him, and the white spiritual mist immediately scattered in all directions.
Immediately, Gu Qing closed his eyes again and refined the Spirit Gathering Pill that he had already swallowed in his body, but only a trace of spiritual power was released. He saw the white air dragons on both sides of his nose growing rapidly, and there seemed to be a faint... That dragon's roar!
Gently brushing the storage bag on his waist with his left hand, he held dozens of taels of water spiritual sand in his hand, then held the spiritual sand with both hands, closed his eyes and attacked the fourth level of Qi Refining.
Gu Qing's face sometimes turned blood red, sometimes turned into purple, sometimes turned into a normal color, and finally, it was covered with a white hazy water curtain, and he could no longer see clearly.
Only the tidal wave of spiritual power that suddenly became stronger and weaker remained. With each surge, the white air dragons at both ends of his nose seemed to be flying and rewinding, constantly crushing twenty-four low-grade water spirit stones into rich spiritual energy. , incorporated into his body.
…
Chihu, the second lake center island on the right.
For the daily activities of monks, there is not much difference between day and night. But at this moment, on the second lake island on the right, there are not many monks coming and going, especially compared with the other lake islands, the gap is huge. It seems very obvious.
There are seven or eight shops on this island in the middle of the lake.
Among them was the He family's property, a shop called 'Xuanlongxuan', which was closed.
"His grandma, why is Xuanlongxuan closed?"
"Haha... It seems that Brother Guo Dao, your Earth Fire Lizard Tempering Spiritual Liquid can only be bought tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? I'm an impatient man! Let's go to other shops first. It's just a few more taels of spiritual sand... His grandma's, damn Fatty He..."
Outside Xuanlong Pavilion, two fierce-looking monks left while talking. There were many monks like these two, and most of them were tall and strong and preferred to practice body training.
Yulongxuan, backyard.
A large open space has a lotus pond carved out on one side. There are several pleasant and exotic grasses planted on the bank. On the stone mountain inside the lotus pond, a section of zigzag-shaped stone steps has been carved out. Above the zigzag-shaped stone steps , He Shoucheng, the son of the current head of the He family, followed his father He Dayou for a walk step by step.
Four or five maidservants with first and second levels of Qi Refining were scattered in the backyard, carrying various kinds of food.
The shopkeeper of Xuanlongxuan, a fat, middle-aged monk with gray hair, was standing respectfully at the foot of the stone mountain, with a slight sweat on his forehead.
This person, known as "Fatty He" in Chihufang, is a descendant of the previous generation of the He family. He is at the sixth level of Qi refining. He always has a smile on his face and is kind to others.
However, Fatty He couldn't laugh now.
"I'm afraid a lot of spirit stones were lost tonight. In Huaining County, first-order monsters like the Earth Fire Lizard are only found in my He family's ancestral land, but in the Yingchuan County two thousand miles away, the Earth Fire Lizard is very common. Yes, the fire lizard body quenching spirit liquid in other stores is only a little more expensive than what I sell in Xuanlongxuan."
"If you want to talk about things, just talk about things. It doesn't matter what Xuanlongxuan has to do. It's really a little devil in the temple. There are many bastards in Chi Qian. The He family, a big-ass monk family, has a lot of bad things..."
Fatty He glanced at He Dayou and He Shoucheng on the rockery, and cursed in his heart.
Rockery.
The jade pendant on his waist flashed, and He Shoucheng's expression moved slightly. He held the jade pendant and examined it with his spiritual sense.
"Father, the man you just ordered has been investigated clearly. His name is Gu Yun. He is a casual cultivator. He is acquainted with Tong Sandao, but he should not be familiar with him. On the way to Chihu, he met Xiang Jia's friend. We have crossed paths with Li Chen before." He Shoucheng, who was quite handsome, took two quick steps to come to He Dayou and said.
He Dayou's jaw is slightly wide, his face is full of flesh, and his black hair stands on end. Although his face is full of wrinkles, he does not look old at all. He is dressed in a black brocade robe, which makes him even more majestic and domineering.
"Rogue cultivator..."
Hearing this, his eyes darkened, his steps paused slightly and he ordered: "I asked your people to keep an eye on this Gu Yun."
"Father, since this Gu Yun is only 30% of Qi Refining, and you found out that this person lives in Xiaopanshuixie, why don't you just take action? With your cultivation level, it would only be a matter of the blink of an eye to capture and kill this guy named Gu Yun. ." He Shoucheng said confused.
Snapped!
He Dayou narrowed his eyes and suddenly pulled out his mouth. He Shoucheng flew far away like a broken ball and fell directly into the lotus pond. The left side of his cheek was swollen.
He Shoucheng stood up slightly dazed, with a flash of fear in his eyes, and looked at his father.
He Dayou put his hands behind his hands and looked down.
"Besides women, what else can you hold in your mind? The gathering of monks in Chihu is a grand gathering of Qi-refining stage monks from several nearby counties. The strong men of the Foundation-building stage of the Mo family and the Xiang family have probably been stationed secretly for a long time. Why? , you feel that you have lived as a father for too long and you are tired of it, right?" He Dayou's eyes were like looking at a dead person.
"Father, I..."
He Shouye wanted to explain something.
"You don't have to say it!" He Dayou interrupted his explanation, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, "Immediately send someone to find out the news about Gu Yun, who is on the sixth or seventh level of Qi Refining, and The evil cultivator who is alone is exposed."
"Why is this..."
He Shouye was stunned and didn't know why.
With the cultivation of the seventh level of Qi refining and the automatic operation of spiritual power, He Shouye's swollen cheeks had quickly subsided.
Looking at his stupid son, He Dayou felt a little itchy again. He looked helplessly at the night sky and said quietly: "No need to ask, just do it. Don't expose the existence of my He family. Just do it well." Study well."
"……yes."
He Shouye was half at a loss, half respectfully saluted his father, and then stepped back.
…
Xiaopanshui Pavilion, in Room No. 12 with the word B.
Three or four hours have passed, and the sky is getting brighter. The two low-grade water spiritual stones embedded in the smoke screen array have turned gray and white, and their spiritual energy is about to be exhausted.
Shrouded in a gauze-like water curtain, a feeling like broken shackles appeared in Gu Qing's heart.
"Fourth level of Qi refining!"
Gu Qing immediately realized that he had broken through the realm barrier and arrived at the last pass in the early stage of Qi refining. Counting this section of the road, among the five sections of the road, this was the fastest time for Gu Qing to reach the fourth level of Qi refining. It took a long time. to six years.
At this time, the spiritual power in Gu Qing's dantian turned into a small lake. Even though this small spiritual power lake was insignificant compared to the seemingly vast sea of dantian Qi, Gu Qing was still quite satisfied with it.
"My spiritual power has more than doubled! And this Guishui Yi Gong, the further I practice, the stronger my spiritual power becomes. Compared with the previous stage of the journey, when I reached the fourth level of Qi refining by practicing Jin Yang Gong, my spiritual power became stronger. The total power has increased by at least 30%!" Gu Qing slowly opened his eyes.
For ordinary monks, the next step in their practice is to open up the sea of consciousness and give birth to divine consciousness, thereby entering the middle stage of Qi refining. But Gu Qing, on the other hand, 'calls out' divine consciousness!
Gu Qing's sea of consciousness has been opened up several times during the more than a hundred years of practice in the previous stages of the road. Now he has reached the fourth level of Qi refining again. He only needs to condense his spiritual power to the center of his eyebrows to easily summon his consciousness and push his cultivation level to The middle stage of Qi refining.
However, he did not want to miss the spiritual power accumulation process of the fourth level of Qi refining. For him who was not very qualified, the accumulation of Qi refining in the early stage was undoubtedly very important.
After a little adapting to the surge of spiritual power in his body, Gu Qing stood up and moved around. Then he took out the high-grade magical instrument talisman pen, the inkstone and the white dew spiritual ink from the storage bag, and put ten pieces of high-grade talisman paper in his body. lined up in front.
This talisman pen is called "Red Blood".
It is made from a second-level monster, the red-blooded wildebeest. Its hair is used as a brush, and its horn is cut off. The craftsman soaks it in a variety of spiritual liquids and grinds it into a penholder. It is engraved with spiritual patterns. Eight hundred and eighty, the highest level can be used to seal and draw third-level spiritual talismans.
Gu Qing gently stroked the pen body.
For monks in the late stage of calculating Qi refining, even if they have golden swords and talismans, they still face great risks.
As the saying goes, wealth can be found in danger. This statement is indeed true, but you must be fully prepared. Otherwise, it is not seeking wealth, but a naked wish for death.
"Light feather talisman, first-order high-grade spiritual talisman..."
Gu Qing recalled a kind of talisman in his memory, and drew the talisman pen in the void a hundred times.
Until a certain moment, his figure became slightly calmer.
Sitting down cross-legged, looking at the ten high-quality talisman papers lined up in front of him, the spiritual power in Gu Qing's body moved and poured into the red blood talisman pen. Then he dipped the red blood talisman pen in white dew spiritual ink, and at the end On the talisman paper on the left, the pen and the dragon and the snake were drawn in one go, and the seal characters with all the beards and tails were drawn into a talisman.
"Failed……"
Gu Qing sighed secretly in his heart.
A complete talisman consists of five parts: talisman head, talisman spirit, talisman belly, talisman foot and talisman gallbladder.
And the first light feather talisman he drew in seal script only had its shape, but no spirit. Only the talisman's sacred tool and the talisman's courage were needed to make it. Therefore, there was no need to repair this useless talisman.
Gu Qing turned his eyes and looked at the second talisman paper. He dropped the red blood talisman pen and started seal painting again.
The second picture...the third picture...the sixth picture.
Maybe it was some bad luck. Six times in a row, all the seals came out were useless talismans.
Gu Qing's face turned a little pale. Most of the spiritual energy in his body had been consumed in a short time, and the spiritual ink on the red blood talisman pen had also dried up.
