The back hall of the patriarchal hall.
Zhang Xiaosheng exited the cultivation state and looked at the five drops of spiritual energy liquid of different colors in his dantian with great emotion.
Although less than a day had passed and the mountain closure was only yesterday, the middle-grade spirit stones had already been exhausted, and he still underestimated the luxury of practicing with spirit stones.
500 pills, 500 Great Zhoutian.
Entering the ninth level of Qi Refining, the speed of the Great Zhoutian's operation increased again. With the assistance of the sect leader's robe, spirit-gathering pendant, and spirit stones, it could be completed in two minutes.
According to Liu Tianyu's experience, this speed can generally be achieved after three levels of foundation building. After entering the later stage of foundation building, the Great Zhoutian can be completed in an instant, and the spiritual energy in the air is directly absorbed into the body and transformed at the same time.
Of course, the Five Elements Sect's Five Spiritual Roots are still five times slower than others.
After the total spiritual root compatibility exceeded 100%, the amount of spiritual energy absorbed in each Great Zhoutian also increased slightly, from 70 shares to 80 shares.
Zhang Xiaosheng was puzzled by this increased ratio. Logically speaking, there should be a texture change when reaching the full value, one-seventh... This is not consistent with common sense!
But the fact is that Zhang Xiaosheng doesn't have much choice.
Nine drops of spiritual energy liquid can break through to the foundation building stage. Now there is one drop of each of the five attributes of spiritual energy, leaving only four drops to break through.
The remaining four drops are not difficult to distribute. It is better to combine the five attributes into one drop just like when you first broke through the ninth level. After all, other people with five spiritual roots do not have such a balanced spiritual root fit. They all break through the foundation building. The breakthrough is achieved by this combination of spiritual energy liquid.
However, the worse the spiritual root qualifications, the slower the cultivation, and the more difficult it is to combine the spiritual energy liquid. Therefore, it is more difficult for talents with poor qualifications to break through, and they must have the assistance of the Foundation Building Pill.
Different from the Qi Refining Pill, the Qi Refining Pill is actually a catalyst. It does not provide much spiritual energy by itself, but it can stimulate the potential of the human body's spiritual roots through medicinal properties, speeding up the operation speed of the exercises and the amount of spiritual energy absorbed. Therefore, ordinary Qi Refining Pills There will be sequelae.
Over-exploitation of potential and failure to replenish it will definitely affect the foundation over time.
The preciousness of the best Qi Refining Pill lies in the fact that it can stimulate potential and at the same time feed back, repairing deficiencies at any time.
In a sense, the ultimate Qi Refining Pill and the ordinary Qi Refining Pill are even two different elixirs.
The Foundation Establishment Pill is actually a trick. It releases a large amount of spiritual energy in the body instantly and condenses it into a liquid. However, since these spiritual energy are not absorbed through exercises, it is difficult to absorb. After helping the realm to break through, a small part can be absorbed. , most of it will gradually dissipate, but because the realm has been improved, the transformation from the Qi refining stage to the foundation building stage has been completed, so after the medicine loses its effect, it is only equivalent to a large loss of spiritual energy, which can be quickly compensated for.
However, the Foundation Establishment Pill also has limitations. If you can't break through the first time, taking it the second time will greatly increase the speed of spiritual energy loss, so it will be more difficult to break through.
This is also the reason why Zhang Xiaosheng does not directly use the top-grade foundation-building pill to practice. If it can be absorbed, it will naturally be much cheaper than the top-grade Qi-refining pill, but it is not possible.
A mid-grade foundation-building pill can provide about one drop of spiritual energy liquid, and a top-grade pill can provide about two drops.
Liu Tianyu didn't know how many drops the top-quality foundation-building pill could provide, but according to his inference, four drops should be fine.
In other words, even if your qualifications are very poor and you can only condense five drops of spiritual energy liquid, as long as you have a top-quality foundation-building pill, you will have a great chance of breakthrough!
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaosheng took out the top-quality foundation-building pill he had obtained in a lottery earlier. He now has five drops of spiritual energy liquid, why not try to break through?
If you break through early, there will be a qualitative change in both the operation of your skills and the speed of spiritual energy absorption, so it is naturally very cost-effective.
With Liu Tianyu's memory, Zhang Xiaosheng was very familiar with the cultivation before the Golden Pill Stage, so he didn't need to prepare anything deliberately. He sat cross-legged on the couch, calmly, picked up the top-quality Foundation Establishment Pill with one hand and put it into his mouth.
When the elixir entered the abdomen, it softened at first, and then the bottom layer collapsed. A large amount of spiritual energy flowed out from inside and penetrated into the Dantian. At the same time, the elixir was also slowly shrinking.
Zhang Xiaosheng hurriedly used his skills to continuously compress.
One drop, two drops, three drops, four drops...
The fifth drop is about to take shape but the elixir has completely disappeared.
enough!
Zhang Xiaosheng was so happy that there were nearly five drops!
The five drops of pure color spiritual energy liquid in the Dantian are intertwined with the five drops of five-color spiritual energy liquid provided by the Foundation Establishment Pill, and they spread to the meridians of the whole body at the same time, and the technique continues to operate.
Dozens of great weeks have passed, and dozens of newly absorbed spiritual energy have been absorbed, but the feeling of breaking through the foundation building has not yet arrived.
Without any hesitation, Zhang Xiaosheng continued to operate the technique as half of the Foundation Establishment Pill's effectiveness had passed.
…
Looking at the five large drops of pure spiritual energy liquid in his dantian, and the five small drops swirling around them, which were only about one-fifth of the size of the large drops, Zhang Xiaosheng fell into silence.
The breakthrough failed!
No matter how hard Zhang Xiaosheng worked for the dozens of great Zhoutians that followed, he was unable to break through the Foundation Establishment until the spiritual energy of the Foundation Establishment Pill began to dissipate.
Why?
Zhang Xiaosheng also wanted to know why there was still no breakthrough when the amount of spiritual energy in his body was close to ten drops at one time!
Moreover, after such stimulation, the five-color spiritual energy liquid no longer merges. Less than a hundred spiritual energy liquids are also condensed into liquid separately, but the volume is smaller.
Now it looks like there are five big ones and five small ones, but in fact there are only about six drops.
In terms of the quality of spiritual energy alone, the spiritual energy droplets are naturally higher than ordinary spiritual energy. Now less than a hundred drops can be condensed into a small drop, which should be a good thing.
But why can't we break through after reaching Jiudi?
Jiuweiji...
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaosheng seemed to have thought of something.
No way!
"Jesus, are you kidding me?"
Zhang Xiaosheng couldn't help shouting.
Now that the five kinds of spiritual energy are no longer gathering, from a single attribute point of view, I only have a little more than one drop of spiritual energy liquid for each type...
Could it be that all five attributes must be cultivated to nine drops in order to achieve a breakthrough?
All right……
It's not unacceptable.
Zhang Xiaosheng knows that the higher the threshold, the greater the future profits.
Then practice.
Now he has reached the ninth level of Qi refining. Although he no longer has the support of spiritual stones, the impact is not big.
One Great Zhoutian takes a little more than two minutes, and it absorbs 80 strands of spiritual energy. In other words, one hour of practice can complete 26 Great Zhoutian, 21 strands of spiritual energy, and one drop for five hours. Even if you don't take drugs, it's not slow.
Zhang Xiaosheng does not plan to buy the best Qi Refining Pill. Although it can improve efficiency and save time, the breakthrough is imminent and it will not take long in total. It is no longer cost-effective to consume a lot of reputation. He must save it and wait for the breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage before purchasing the Foundation Establishment Stage. The elixir assists cultivation.
At the same level, breakthroughs in the early stage will definitely be faster than those in the later stage.
Sit cross-legged, calm your mind, and start running the exercises.
Without the aid of elixirs, the difference in speed was indeed huge. Zhang Xiaosheng was a little uncomfortable for a while, but he quickly became immersed in the state of cultivation.
Time passed by, and the aura of breakthrough fluctuated slightly from time to time in the Five Elements Sect. Many people had accumulated enough, but they missed the mark due to lack of resources. At this time, there were enough spiritual stones and elixirs, and the breakthrough was successfully completed.
Zhang Xiaosheng felt that the five drops of small spiritual energy liquid in his Dantian were slowly expanding, and they would soon be the same as the previous five drops.
At the end of another Great Week, ten drops of spiritual energy liquid were divided into five colors and stood in the dantian. Just as Zhang Xiaosheng continued to practice, he suddenly felt a surge of enlightenment emerge again in the spiritual platform. The spiritual liquid in the dantian began to vibrate slightly, and the skills also It operates unconsciously.
This...this is a sign of breakthrough!
But... I didn't use the technique to break through the foundation!
what happened.
The breakthrough was completed quickly, but Zhang Xiaosheng had not yet woken up from his dazed state.
It took a long time to react.
It was indeed a breakthrough, but it certainly didn’t reach foundation building.
After the foundation is established, the spiritual liquid no longer stays in the Dantian, but flows back and forth in the meridians. Therefore, the meridians can be strengthened at all times. It is not the tempering of the body before the fifth level of Qi refining, but simply strengthens the width and toughness of the meridians, so that It is capable of holding a greater quantity of Reiki and a higher quality of Reiki fluid.
But none of these foundation-building features are present.
At the dantian, ten drops of spiritual liquid were still intertwining with each other, and Zhang Xiaosheng seemed to have thought of something.
After the body quenching and marrow cleansing is completed, the requirement for the capacity of Dantian spiritual energy increases tenfold for each level. The sixth level of Qi refining is ten strands of spiritual energy, the seventh level is one stream, the eighth level is ten channels, and the ninth level is one drop. Now I It's ten drops...
Qi refining...the tenth level?
Could it be that there is a realm hidden between the ninth level of Qi refining and foundation building that no one knows about?
Liu Tianyu also has five spiritual roots. When he broke through, he also broke through directly from the ninth level to the foundation. Why is this?
Zhang Xiaosheng began to carefully compare his current state with that of Liu Tianyu before he broke through the Foundation Establishment. The biggest difference was the balance of the five spiritual roots, followed by the full spiritual roots. The compatibility of the total spiritual roots reached 100%, as well as the skills. different……
Kung Fu... shouldn't be the reason. Although Kung Fu is the first element to absorb spiritual energy and break through the realm, "Five Elements Divine Art" may not be the only one, because it is only a technique for cultivating the Five Elements and Five Spiritual Roots. The world is so big and the realm of immortal cultivation is so vast, don’t other sects and other Shanlinggens have heaven-defying cultivation techniques?
But based on Liu Tianyu's knowledge, he had never heard of the tenth level of Qi refining.
Is that because the spiritual roots are full?
It seems not...
After all, after breaking through to 100%, the feeling is not much different from previous improvements. What is 100%, it is perfection!
If there is no qualitative change in this way, then there may be some problems with the spiritual root fit. Zhang Xiaosheng can't tell exactly what it is, but it feels wrong.
Is that the reason why the five spiritual roots are balanced?
Yes, the spiritual roots are balanced, and the spiritual energy liquid no longer entangles to form a drop, but forms a separate drop. Since it has been deduced that nine drops of each of the five attributes can break through the foundation building, then is it possible that the tenth level of Qi refining hidden in it is only Only those with balanced spiritual roots can practice?
If you put it this way, this spiritual root balance is not ordinary!
PS: Amway has a book written by a big boss in the group: "I Have an Exquisite Heart with Seven Apertures". The writing is very good and the setting is novel.
