Looking down from the top of the mountain, there are a total of twenty-nine buildings in the Lin Family Refining Pavilion. The central 'spire' stands proudly, seeming to show off that it also had a glorious past.
But now, everything has changed. The surrounding houses are dilapidated, and light can easily penetrate through the holes through the interior of the house. As far as the eye can see, there are broken walls and ruins, a dilapidated and messy scene.
The morning fog had not yet dissipated, and the two of them stepped on the moss-covered bricks and tiles, making a creaking and creaking sound along the way.
Chen Mo smelled a slightly bitter smell in the air. He turned around and looked around. Weeds were growing all around. It seemed that no one had been here for a long time.
Everyone may have a past that they don't want to mention, let alone a family. Chen Mo was also very sensible and did not ask Lin Yuqin why this place became so deserted.
They just walked quietly. Before it was time for a cup of tea, the weapon refining pavilion where the 'spire' belonged was already close at hand.
"We're here, Brother Chen." A painful groan came from the door: "There is a tunnel in the hall. Go all the way to the end, which is the refining room of our Lin family. According to my grandfather, the walls there are very thick. Plus I'm guarding this place, so you can rest assured."
Chen Mo said: "Thank you."
Lin Yuqin smiled: "You're welcome."
As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something, and asked additionally, "By the way...how long will your retreat last?"
Chen Mo frowned: "It's hard to say. It can take as long as a month or as short as three to five days. I can't be sure."
While talking, Lin Yuqin took out a wooden box from the storage bag and handed it to Chen Mo casually.
"Give."
With curiosity, Chen Mo opened one side and found a plate of purple pepper meat slices and four steamed buns.
Even if the Foundation Establishment cultivator does not eat or drink, he will be fine for a short period of time. Lin Yuqin's gift of such a thing made Chen Mo at a loss.
He hurriedly took it without saying thanks, turned around, picked up the package of vitality stone, and walked quickly towards the tunnel.
Chen Mo didn't look back to see Lin Yuqin's reaction, but he knew very well that he, who had always been calm, had just lost his composure.
Otherwise, he could have chosen not to accept it, or he could have solemnly thanked him. There was no need to run away like this.
The tunnel went deeper and deeper, and the light was eroded bit by bit. Chen Mo's thoughts were pulled back. Compared with what he was going to do next, it seemed less important.
'Whoosh' twice.
The wicks on the walls on both sides were lit again, extending to the end of the darkness. He walked for a few more breaths, and half of a solid blue stone door stood straight in front of the weapon refining room. The mechanism that controlled it seemed to be damaged.
The gap left was not big, so Chen Mo had to bend down to get in. As expected, it was a wide space inside.
As far as the eye can see, there is nothing but a layer of floating dust on the ground.
This was exactly what Chen Mo wanted. He opened the package, and the dark vitality stones rolled out one after another.
Immediately he found an empty place and sat cross-legged. Chen Mo first allowed the spiritual fluid in his body to return to a stable state, and then used his spiritual consciousness to find out the situation inside the Dantian one by one.
Monks can practice only if they have spiritual roots. Spiritual roots are also called spiritual veins. The pulses have different qualities and types.
For example, after the mutation of the Zhiyin Spirit Vein, the resulting Yin Spirit Power is endless, soft and cold, adding three points of power to the enemy.
Another example is the Pure Yang Spiritual Vein, which is fierce and domineering. If a monk uses it in his techniques or magic weapons, the techniques he wields will carry an indestructible will.
Poison veins, rotten veins, pure spiritual veins...all belong to abnormal veins. The world of cultivation is vast and vast, and it is common sense that we cannot explore them all.
As for normal spiritual veins, they are divided according to the five elements.
The gathering of the five elements means that a monk can absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth fifty times as fast as a monk with a single spiritual root. This qualification only appeared in Mu Yixing, the old monster of the Luohua Sect, 3,200 years ago. There are no more historical records.
The Four Spiritual Roots, also known as the Earthly Spiritual Roots, are missing one of the five elements. Compared with the rarity of the Heavenly Spiritual Roots, at least they are real. As far as Chen Mo knows, the Heavenly Sword Sect who once captured him has an old man in the Nascent Soul stage. Ancestor is a rare monk with four spiritual roots in the world.
The Three Spiritual Roots represent the elite geniuses in each sect. The last time they entered the Forgotten Land, at least one or two hundred people had the qualifications of the Three Spiritual Roots. They will grow into the mainstay of each practice sect in the future.
As for double spiritual roots and single spiritual roots, they are the most basic components of a sect.
Normal spiritual veins can be subdivided into three grades: upper, middle and lower, which represent the amount of spiritual power stored. The upper grade is 99%, the middle grade is 66%, and the lower grade is 33%.
The so-called use of heavenly materials and earthly treasures to forcibly improve one's own qualifications is to improve the quality of spiritual veins. Even a low-grade three-spirit root qualification can be advanced to a high-grade three-spirit root qualification with the support of sufficient resources.
Chen Mo was a single spiritual root monk when he joined the Ancient Pagoda Sect. Later, he changed into Yin spiritual power by chance in the mine.
He originally thought that the matter would end there, but the method provided by the black stone prompted his spiritual veins to improve for the second time.
But because there were not enough vital materials for transformation, it was stuck in a state where Yin spiritual power and vital spiritual power coexisted.
Chen Mo's trip today was to completely abandon the mutated spiritual veins and replace 70% of the original Yin spiritual power with vitality spiritual power.
The situation in the dantian was calm, and the green and white colors on the 'jade board' that marked the foundation-building period were integrated into one, constantly gathering the turbulent flow of the spiritual veins.
With a thought in Chen Mo's mind, the Yin spirit power was gathered in his hands and transformed into a cluster of blazing flames, which suddenly raised the temperature of the space a lot.
There are two inverted cyclones below the 'jade plate'. They are the crystal nuclei for monks to absorb and transform the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Chen Mo had considered it before he came. His plan was to consume the Yin Spirit Power continuously until the core loss representing the Yin Spirit Power shrank to a minimum, and then he would seize the opportunity to win it in one go.
As time passed little by little, Chen Mo maintained the flame while observing the state of the Yin Spirit Power cyclone. After more than two hours, the originally walnut-like crystal core had collapsed to the size of a fingernail.
Chen Mo turned his hand to extinguish the flame, and the energy from his sea of consciousness gathered into a big hand, which went straight towards the cyclone representing the formation of Yin spiritual power.
'Zizzi...'
It was as if thousands of fine needles had been pierced into his head. Before the pain could be felt, a biting chill followed his spine and poured into his limbs. Chen Mo shivered violently, and then felt like tearing. Severe pain was felt in the abdomen.
Chen Mo endured the pain and barely stabilized his meditating posture. The 'jade plate' in his body trembled violently. Under the influence of the cyclone's backlash, the big hand of his consciousness suddenly dissipated.
Although he had been mentally prepared for it, Chen Mo never thought that the cyclone of vitality spiritual power and Yin spiritual power were actually one body.
Fortunately, he only poked it tentatively. If he really tried to force it out with all his strength, his Taoist base would be severely counterattacked by the cyclone, and he might even fall back to the Qi refining stage.
Chen Mo's first plan failed, but within the scope of what he could bear, he never expected to succeed in one attempt. After a short period of recuperation, Chen Mo prepared to change his tactics and absorb the energy in the vitality stone.
Replacement and annexation, the former method didn't work, so he had to settle for the next best thing.
The damage to the consciousness required a lot of time to heal, and it took a full day for Chen Mo to restore his body to the state before the cyclone was tested.
"call......"
There was a calm look in Chen Mo's eyes. He picked up two vitality stones and held them in his hands, one on the left and one on the right. With a movement of his mind, the spiritual fluid in his body suddenly poured into the stones.
Soon, a surprising scene appeared.
The two stones in his hand seemed to have given birth to some kind of living creature. Chen Mo unexpectedly resonated with the stones, as if a breath was pulling both sides, and gradually the breath in the vitality stone seemed to come alive.
Chen Mo knew that this was a good thing, and immediately began to absorb the energy of the vitality stone. With the ups and downs, the stone in his hands began to tremble slightly. There was no doubt that the familiar auras of the two merged together and were flowing towards him. ’s collection.
"Crackling" explosions continued to come from the inside of the vitality stone. As time went by, circles of light green halo gradually spread outward.
Every ray of breath that was sucked out passed through the pores on the skin, and the dark brown color was expelled from the body in an instant, clinging to the outside like a layer of rancid sludge.
Although the smell was pungent, Chen Mo's eyes showed abnormal excitement. He did not expect that refining the vitality spiritual power for the second time could provide him with a simple marrow cleansing effect. This was something he did not expect.
Soon the breath traveled to his cheek, and the long-standing scar, which Chen Mo ignored in order to save the spirit stone, became itchy and unbearable, like the blisters that pop up when water is boiled. He noticed It seemed like something had been poked.
Before he had time to think about it, the vitality stones in his hands emitted a gray halo, which was like the afterglow after the light dissipated. Chen Mo's heart moved, and he quickly summoned two more vitality stones to float in front of him.
The spiritual power was replenished again, and after refining the essence, it began to flow towards the chest.
At this time, Chen Mo's feeling was even worse than when he soaked in the soul-enhancing pool in the Forgotten Land. However, the good times did not last long. The Yin spirit power existing in Dantian seemed to have noticed something, and began to fight for Chen Mo's food without mercy. Control of the spiritual veins in the body.
The newly promoted green vitality naturally refused to give in. The two actually used his body as the battlefield and started a vigorous contest.
"Wait...not ready yet!"
Chen Mo secretly thought that it was bad, but it was too late to make adjustments. The cyclone of Yin spiritual power suddenly broke out, and the defending party collided with the vitality spiritual power.
It was like a sledgehammer hitting his chest with a muffled sound. In the blink of an eye, blood spurted out, and the burst blood vessels instantly dyed his clothes red, causing Chen Mo to scream in pain.
With an unspeakable feeling, Chen Mo's heart seemed to have become a leaky drum, and every breath he took became a challenge to walk on the tip of a knife.
Even so, Chen Mo's hands continued to absorb the vitality and spiritual power at a fast pace. He knew that it could not be interrupted no matter what, otherwise the previous blood would really be in vain.
On the other side, the Yin Spiritual Force's counterattack was initially effective. The crystal core representing the foundation building stage was rotating rapidly, and the cyclone continuously generated spiritual liquid and vitality spiritual energy to cover each other. When it fell on Chen Mo's body, it became a different scene. , as cold as a cold night, and as hot as a scorching day, it goes on in an uninterrupted alternating manner. Before the time for a stick of incense has come, the dried blood stains on Chen Mo's face are reflected, and countless beads of sweat are also flowing along. The cheeks ran down.
But for a higher level of breakthrough, everything is worth it. Although Chen Mo suffered a strong struggle between the two spiritual powers, his will remained firm.
In Chen Mo's view, Yin spiritual power has become rootless water at this point. With the continuous influx of vitality spiritual power, the final victory must belong to the latter.
His consciousness recovered a little, and he turned into a big hand in the void again, allowing the two spiritual powers to merge and engulf each other.
The two auras in Chen Mo's body complemented each other. With the unexpected help of his spiritual consciousness, the crystal core of Yin spiritual power in the Dantian was trembling more and more fiercely.
Seeing that everything was developing for the better, but at this moment, the black stone in the Dantian suddenly flashed, triggering another unactivated cyclone of life. The aura in Chen Mo's body instantly went crazy, squeezing the Yin spirit power. That momentum actually stopped for a moment!
Chen Mo's eyes flashed with panic for a moment, but something even weirder happened! The remaining six vitality stones that had not been absorbed actually stimulated the vitality contained in the stones on their own, creating a mysterious pull with his unfettered body. A steady stream of vitality quickly flowed into his body, leaving Chen Mo without any resistance. It is so powerful that even a simple interruption is difficult to achieve!
"Why is this thing so crazy?!"
Just as thoughts flashed through Chen Mo's mind, the green vitality rushing in front of him like a turbulent wave broke through the blockade of Yin spiritual power with a bang, and even the cyclone in the core slowed down a lot.
Soon, the overwhelming aura of vitality was like substance, and the crystal core of the Yin Spiritual Power was wrapped in a layer of light. Chen Mo was surprised to find that the Yin Spiritual Power that had been with him for several years actually disappeared without a trace at this moment. No trace left.
However, the next moment, something that frightened Chen Mo happened: the two vitality spiritual powers turned around and absorbed the energy of the outside vitality stone with the same cyclonic acceleration!
'Bang bang bang bang bang...'
As the six vitality stones exploded in front of him, Chen Mo only reacted for two breaths. His whole body swelled like a rubber ball, and the blood vessels and veins all over his body bulged. It seemed that the black stones helped too much. , we must use our vitality and vitality to force him to death!
"How to do how to do!!"
Chen Mo's eyes suddenly turned blood red, his consciousness began to blur, and there were only a few thoughts left in his mind.
put! Release all your spiritual power!
Can't let go!
If you can't let go, just let go, it's better than exploding and dying!
At this time, Chen Mo couldn't think clearly about the right or wrong of the matter. He just wanted to end it all as soon as possible. After all, if he could hold on for a few more breaths, he would die completely.
He was about to smash his Dantian into pieces. The moment he saw the black stone, a flash of light suddenly flashed through his mind!
Is there a possibility that the vitality and spiritual power are only increasing but not decreasing, entirely because he did not activate them in the correct way?
Chen Mo was like a drowning man, clinging to the floating board before the end of his life.
He instantly recalled the formula about the 'Life' scroll in "The Forbidden Life and Death of All Things". Without any manipulation, he easily changed the direction of the flow of vitality and spiritual power just by sensing it with his spiritual veins. In just a blink of an eye, Chen Mo The pressure in the body is suddenly reduced!
