Later, he got used to using Huang Ling Dan to replenish his spiritual power, and also used to using Fire Ling Dan to improve his cultivation. He was even more accustomed to the feeling of quickly recovering his spiritual power.
In fact, he also inhaled the surrounding spiritual energy, but that was done when the spiritual energy in his body was slightly insufficient, and the amount he inhaled was very small.
Also, during the fight, a lot of spiritual energy is consumed, and the body will naturally absorb the spiritual energy around it, but it cannot be felt at that time.
Once the fight is over, quickly replenish it with Huang Ling Dan. Therefore, he has never experienced the process of slowly absorbing spiritual energy after losing all his spiritual energy.
But the feeling at this time was even more wonderful than taking Huang Ling Dan. It was like drizzle falling on the dry land, wetting it little by little, and then seeping in little by little, instead of pouring down like a sudden rain.
This situation is like drinking water. It's pleasurable to take a big sip, but it's easy to choke. But taking a small sip is not the case. It can quench your thirst and is not easy to choke.
Zhou Yang closed his eyes and realized it, and Xing'er also stopped crying. She wiped her tears and blushed when she saw Tie Hu's face full of embarrassment. She hurriedly stood up and left Zhou Yang's arms.
But when Tiehu saw that Zhou Yang still didn't move, he was about to push him away, but Lin Cheng shook his head and stopped his movement. Tiehu had no choice but to continue to hold Zhou Yang and sit on the ground with difficulty.
The spiritual energy in the spiritual field was richer than in other places. It entered Zhou Yang's meridians and apertures, and then converged on his Dantian. The whole process was extremely slow.
Zhou Yang stopped thinking about other things and closed his eyes to look at the direction of the spiritual energy entering his body. His meridians and acupuncture points were extremely happy, greedily sucking the spiritual energy entering his body, and then converted it into strands of spiritual power and stored it in his Dantian spiritual sea.
The tingling sensation at the altar gradually disappeared, as if it had been nourished by the spiritual energy, and gradually became clearer.
This meditation lasted three days and three nights.
The most painful one was Tie Hu. It was extremely uncomfortable to stay in the same position for nearly four days. Moreover, he was injured by Zhou Yang, and you can imagine the feeling.
Thanks to him entering the Lingtai realm, otherwise he couldn't bear the hunger alone. Perhaps because he was used to eating and drinking, his stomach was also protesting seriously now.
At this time, Zhou Yang slowly opened his eyes, feeling refreshed and dripping all over his body, like a very thirsty person who has drank enough water. He felt refreshed, full of spiritual energy, running smoothly, and his meridians and acupuncture points were full of food and drink, and he entered Sleep state.
Zhou Yang felt that the total amount of spiritual power at this time had increased a bit compared to before. In other words, his cultivation has improved again.
No, if you use Huang Ling Dan to replenish your spiritual power, the total spiritual power will definitely not be as large as it is now!
Could it be that absorbing spiritual energy and breathing it out would increase your cultivation better and faster than swallowing pills? This issue must be viewed dialectically.
Just absorbing spiritual energy is too slow. As he currently does, it only takes three days and three nights to replenish the spiritual energy in his body. If you use Huang Ling Dan, you won't be able to use it for even an hour.
But the dosage of elixirs is limited. For example, the maximum daily dosage of Fire Spirit Pills is only six pills. After realizing that there was a problem with his mood, he cut the dosage in half.
The valuable thing about the spiritual energy in the air is that it is endless, it is everywhere, and it can be absorbed at any time and anywhere. This is something that elixirs cannot compare with.
Again, everything in the world has its own destiny. Just by absorbing spiritual energy, your cultivation will grow slowly, but it has a solid foundation, is not vain, and has no side effects.
Although taking elixirs can increase your cultivation quickly, the shortcomings are also obvious. Just like taking Huang Ling Dan, your spiritual power will be replenished quickly, but it is a bit vain. If things go on like this, it will seem to be distracting.
Absorbing spiritual energy to replenish spiritual power is much thicker.
Zhou Yang estimated that if he could hit ten spiritual lights in a row now, he would be able to hit only nine if he used Huang Ling Dan to replenish his spiritual power.
Not only that, the elixir itself is not 100% pure, but contains certain impurities, especially lower-grade elixirs, which have more impurities.
If you swallow too much elixir, in addition to damaging the liver meridian of Zujueyin, the impurities in the elixir will slowly accumulate in the body. Over time, if they cannot be discharged in time, blockage will occur, and mana or spiritual power will not function. If it is not smooth, it will affect your practice.
He also saw discussions on this aspect in the Ziyuan Sect books brought by Master Zhong.
Moreover, Qin Ming also said that a cultivator has to take a large amount of pills throughout his life, so more and more remaining impurities will become more and more. If accumulated to a certain amount, it will greatly affect the purity of mana or spiritual power, hindering the progress of cultivation. promote.
In severe cases, it will corrode the meridians and altars, making it easy to become possessed.
Classics also record that there are two ways to resolve the side effects of long-term use of elixirs and remove impurities. One is to take two elixirs to resolve it. These two elixirs are Ye Pu Yin Yang Cao and Yunzhong Zi Lan, and they must be taken at the same time to be effective.
Zhou Yang knows the ordinary purple mist in the clouds and can find it. But it is extremely difficult to find the purple lantern that actually grows in the clouds and mist on the top of the mountain.
And the wild cattail yin and yang grass is an ancient elixir. There are still two opinions on whether it has it in the current cultivation world.
According to reports, the same plant of Wild Pueraria yin-yang grass has leaves of two different colors. Male cultivators take the yang leaves and female cultivators take the yin leaves.
If the situation is not too serious, taking a few strains of each of the two elixirs can dissolve impurities in the body. If the elixir is taken for too long, the dosage will be large.
The second method is to soak in the Hualing Pond for seven days. After seven days, all impurities and toxins in the body will be eliminated. However, the Hualing Pool has only been found in the far east and west of Hezhou Continent, and has been occupied by two large sects respectively. Ordinary cultivators don't even have to think about it.
Although he knew that long-term use of elixirs would have side effects, no one would rely solely on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for cultivation. That would be too slow, and his lifespan would be exhausted before he could reach a higher realm.
Ancient cultivators also tried to increase the speed of absorbing spiritual energy and created various methods, but the results were all unsatisfactory. Only one method has been passed down, and that is the spirit gathering array.
This array has the effect of gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which can increase the concentration of spiritual energy and naturally absorb it faster than before.
But no matter how much spiritual energy there is, a person's absorption capacity is fixed. Although the speed is faster, it is still not as fast as absorbing spiritual stones directly, and the speed of absorbing spiritual stones cannot keep up with taking pills.
So later on, the ancients stopped studying the speed of absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth.
It cannot be said that cultivators are eager for quick success, and no one will waste their longevity on slowly absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
But one thing is recognized. Even if there are enough elixirs and spiritual stones, in places with strong spiritual energy, cultivation will advance much faster than in other places. Especially when breaking through bottlenecks, the richness of spiritual energy is very critical. .
The same is true for breaking through the Tianyuan Realm or the Golden Core Realm. The intensity of spiritual energy is different, and the consequences will be different. And if the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is not enough, it will be difficult to make a breakthrough, so all the sects in the world are founded in places with spiritual veins.
Daily practice is mainly based on taking elixirs and spiritual stones, supplemented by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. When the critical moment comes, the sect will arrange for disciples who are facing a breakthrough to practice in the place with the strongest spiritual energy to increase the chance of a breakthrough.
Even when high-level cultivators break through, they will be arranged at the spiritual eye.
There is another purpose in choosing spiritual veins, which is to provide a steady stream of energy for the protective formation.
These large formations require a huge amount of spiritual energy, and spiritual stones alone are far from enough. Therefore, these large formations also need to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for a long time, and the energy reaches a certain level before they can be activated.
Zhou Yang was thinking a lot at the moment, and Tie Hu couldn't stand it anymore at first, and said with his teeth: "Little Yangzi, are you okay? I can't feel anything in my legs!"
Zhou Yang was stunned, and then realized that he was still sitting on his senior brother. He couldn't help but blush, smiled awkwardly, stood up in a hurry, and went to pull Tiehu on the way.
Tiehu also wanted to stand up, but when he was halfway up, he fell to the ground again with a plop. His legs were really numb. Although he used his spiritual power to unblock his legs continuously for three days, he stayed in one position for too long and it would be strange if they were not numb.
"Brother, are you okay?" Zhou Yang hurriedly went to help Tiehu.
"I'll try to sit on you for three days and three nights!" Tie Hu said angrily.
"Hey, why don't you give it a try!" Zhou Yang laughed twice.
"Get out of here, he's going crazy now. Revenge for those who have a grudge, and complain for those who have a grudge. Let's join him together!"
Tiehu called out to Li Tong and Lin Cheng, and took the lead and slapped Zhou Yang on the shoulder. Zhou Yang grinned in pain. The senior brother was really cruel!
Li Tong and Xing'er naturally did not come forward, but Lin Cheng smiled and prepared to relieve his anger. But Xing'er quit when she saw this, and said crisply to Tie Hu: "Brother Hu, let go of little Yangzi, you bully him when he happens to be there, how can you be a senior brother!"
"Okay, I didn't even hit him twice, but I protected him. I won't be able to teach him a lesson from now on. Go ahead and stay there!" Although he stopped hitting him, Tiehu still couldn't let go of his anger and put his foot on Zhou Yang's butt.
When Myolie Li saw it, she immediately became angry: "Tiehu, try moving again!"
"Auntie, I didn't try hard!" Tiehu smiled bitterly. With her around, I really can't greet little Yangzi casually like before.
Li Tong secretly laughed, while Lin Cheng was a little angry. You, Zhou Yang, are too unreasonable. You have one at home, and you actually come to provoke my young lady. What the hell!
In fact, he wrongly blamed Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang had no thoughts about this at all and always regarded Xing'er as his sister.
But Xing'er didn't think so. She had never dared to show it before and secretly liked Yang. But after this turmoil, she was really afraid, afraid of losing Zhou Yang, afraid that she would never have a chance again.
Zhou Yang felt bitter in his heart. Seeing Lin Cheng's unkind expression, he naturally understood what he meant, but it was hard to explain such a thing.
Alas, Ling'er will come in a few days, what should I do?
It seems like we really need to talk to Sister Xing'er. It was hard to speak before, and Xing'er didn't say anything, but now the situation has gone beyond a certain range, and if she doesn't make it clear, something will happen.
"Everyone, I'm sorry before, let's go into the room and talk." Zhou Yang also felt that he was really sorry for everyone, and after bowing to Tiehu and others, he let everyone in.
