The jade slips of the exercises have been distributed, and Zhang Xiaosheng is ready to start his first practice after breaking through the Nascent Soul.
Because he rushed to the sect's treasure house just after the breakthrough, Zhang Xiaosheng had not tried the "Five Elements Divine Art" that had been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage. At this time, it started to operate, and unexpectedly found that the little Nascent Soul at the Dantian was also practicing while sitting cross-legged, and it was functioning. The technique is also the "Five Elements Divine Technique".
Zhang Xiaosheng was overjoyed. Training the infant and solidifying the infant was originally practiced by the Yuanying monk himself. He didn't expect that his own Yuanying could also operate the "Five Elements Divine Art". Wouldn't that be equivalent to double the speed?
The body and the Nascent Soul breathe in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at the same time. It feels really wonderful.
Training is to make the Nascent Soul bigger. The Nascent Soul is only one inch in size at first. Each time it breaks through a level, it can increase in height by half the finger width. When the Nascent Soul grows to three inches, it is considered the peak of the ninth level.
Gu Ying, on the other hand, uses the tempering of spiritual energy to make Yuanying no longer crystal clear, but like a physical body, truly impenetrable to sight.
When each layer of solid soul reaches perfection, the soul will become as thick as a solid body, but after the breakthrough, it will return to the crystal clear state and start a new round of tempering.
The Nascent Soul is originally an existence similar to a spirit body. The stability of each level makes it purer and closer to the natural spirit body, so it can control more of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
It is similar to the spiritual energy liquid compression in the foundation building stage, but the level is higher and more difficult.
But because the realm of Yuanying is getting bigger and bigger, it becomes more and more difficult to solidify the spirit. Also because the quality of Yuanying is getting higher and higher, the difficulty of cultivating the spirit has also skyrocketed.
The two assist and restrict each other.
Zhang Xiaosheng practiced for three whole days in one breath. Only then did he feel that his cultivation seemed to be a little different from what he imagined.
The spiritual energy he absorbed was absorbed by the Nascent Soul. Although the changes were almost undetectable, Zhang Xiaosheng saw that the Nascent Soul had indeed grown slightly.
But the spiritual energy cultivated by Yuanying itself disappeared, only some thin fluffy silk threads appeared in the crystal clear Yuanying, just like cotton wool in jade.
Could it be that... all the spiritual energy cultivated by Nascent Soul was used to strengthen the Soul?
Zhang Xiaosheng hurriedly opened the system space, and when he saw it, he almost laughed out of joy.
[Host Realm: Nascent Soul Level 1]
With the blessing of the Spirit Gathering Formation, the blessing of the high-level sect master's robe, plus the entry-level Five Elements Balancing Spirit Root and the "Five Elements Divine Art", Zhang Xiaosheng's infant training progress actually increased by 3% in just three days.
Growth of 1% in one day!
Speaking of this alone, it only takes a hundred days to reach the spiritual realm point of breaking through the second level.
From the first level to the second level of Nascent Soul, it takes one hundred days!
I dare not say that this speed is unprecedented, but it is indeed unprecedented.
However, Zhang Xiaosheng was not too excited. After all, this breakthrough speed was already considered slow for him, and in order to become familiar with the Nascent Soul stage's "Five Elements Divine Art", he did not start the pill assistance.
What really shocked him was that Guying's progress actually increased by 1%.
Zhang Xiaosheng was very sure that he was practicing experimentally and did not use spiritual energy to temper Yuanying. However, Gu Ying's progress increased at the same time. There is only one explanation, and that is because Yuanying himself practiced the "Five Elements Divine Art".
Zhang Xiaosheng didn't know what to say. Although the "Five Elements Divine Art" was powerful, it was just a dead thing. It could only allow Yuanying to practice because his Yuanying was formed through the breakthrough of Dao Dan.
There was another fluke in my heart. Fortunately, I understood the unity of the five elements and combined the five golden elixirs into the Dao elixir. Otherwise, if I really cultivated five Nascent Souls, no matter how much reputation I had, it would not be enough.
And now, this Yuanying can find food by himself. Although it is a bit slower than Cuiying, it is already very good. Guying is inherently more difficult.
The cultivation of the Nascent Soul stage can be summed up very accurately in one sentence: It is easy to cultivate a baby but hard to consolidate it.
As the name suggests, each level of breakthrough in the Nascent Soul stage requires the Nascent Soul to grow half as wide as a finger, and the body itself needs to be tempered to the physical level. Only after the breakthrough can it return to its transparent state.
Training a baby is simple, you only need to absorb spiritual energy. The richer the spiritual energy, the faster it is absorbed, and the faster the natural improvement. Even if the spiritual energy is lacking, it can be completed in a time-consuming manner.
But Guying can only rely on high-quality spiritual energy to be slowly tempered and polished.
Both are indispensable.
Therefore, even though many people have already cultivated their Nascent Soul to the point where they can break through to the spiritual world, they are stuck and unable to break through because of insufficient tempering of their spiritual energy.
There are only two shortcuts to quickly solidify the soul. One is to swallow the heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can stabilize the soul. But how can such a level of elixir grow in ordinary places? It is said that there was once in the Yuanxian Mountains. , but most of the Yuanying monks who went in to search were missing.
The first level of Nascent Soul can last for nearly a thousand years, and it will eventually break through slowly, which is better than losing one's life in vain, so few people will search for the elixir in depth later on.
By chance, one or two old elixirs that could help stabilize the Nascent Soul were found in major auction houses, and they all fetched sky-high prices.
The second shortcut is to swallow the Gu Ying Dan. Those Nascent Soul monks gather the medicinal materials and find connections to ask someone to help refine it.
Of course, even if you find all the medicinal materials, you may not be able to find someone, and even if you find someone, you may not be able to get what you want. After all, it is a Nascent Soul elixir, and no one can guarantee that it will be successful every time.
Therefore, it is generally necessary to prepare at least two copies of medicinal materials. To be on the safe side, three copies are also common. But no matter how many times you succeed, you can only get one elixir at most, and the rest is naturally the labor fee of the person who made the elixir. This is everyone's default rule.
Because of this, there are only one and a half pills occasionally found on the market, and the quality is all medium-grade, and the top-grade ones are never seen at all. It must be refined from the excess medicinal materials of those who seek elixirs.
But even if it's a mid-range product, it's priceless.
There are only a few people who can refine Guying Dan, and the medicinal materials required for refining are all rare and must be at least five hundred years old. It is not much easier than directly looking for those heavenly materials and earthly treasures, just because the elixir is The auxiliary effect is more obvious, so it is easier to be accepted.
Dan Chenzi, the great elder of Wandan Pavilion, is ranked among the top five in the entire world of immortal cultivation in his alchemy skills, but he has only succeeded in refining top-grade Guying Pills, and only two of the best Guying Pills have appeared in the past thousand years.
One pill was naturally refined by the Master of Wandan Pavilion, while the other pill was refined by Old Man Duotian of Duotian Peak. These two people are the most elite in alchemy skills in the world of immortality today, but they have not been made public. They have discussed each other, so there is no final conclusion as to who is the best in the world.
As for whether the two have communicated and competed in private, that is not something outsiders can know.
These were all mentioned by Zhang Xiaosheng in the introduction to the three areas of Duotian Peak, Hentian Peak and Potian Peak in the map slip given to him by Guan Fuzi.
There is an old man on each of the three peaks. The art of elixir refining by the old man Duotian is called the creation of Duotian.
It is said that the masters of the Bailian Pavilion are ashamed of Old Man Hentian's weapon refining methods. The magical weapons and magic weapons he refines are all extremely powerful. Every time they are produced, a catastrophe will befall him. Therefore, he is known as Hentian and refuses to allow it.
However, Old Man Potian's formation method has returned to his original nature. He once said "I want to use the formation to seal the sky, so I break it" which is widely circulated.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaosheng shook his head. The gap between himself and these big guys was still too big!
After gathering his thoughts and thinking that the speed of his Gu Ying and Pei Ying could not match, Zhang Xiaosheng directly spent 1,200 reputation to buy a top-quality Gu Ying Pill.
I sighed, luckily I have a system dad.
Cultivating babies is equivalent to quantitative changes, while solidifying babies is equivalent to qualitative changes. The Solid Soul Pill can only be taken once at each level of the Nascent Soul Realm, so Zhang Xiaosheng chose to improve it first. The more stable the Soul Soul is, the faster it will naturally be cultivated.
The reason why other Nascent Soul cultivators put the cart before the horse and cultivate babies first and then solidify babies is not because they don't understand, but because it is too difficult to solidify babies.
After taking the top-quality Gu Ying Dan in one gulp, a burst of extremely rich energy suddenly burst out from his belly, and the Gu Ying Dan had already turned into a cloud of smoke-like existence, floating towards Nascent Soul.
After getting closer, the little Nascent Soul, who looked exactly like Zhang Xiaosheng, suddenly opened its small mouth and sucked in the smoke, and its crystal clear body instantly became blurry.
As more and more smoke is inhaled, the cotton-like objects inside the Nascent Soul continue to appear at a speed visible to the naked eye. When the smoke is about to be swallowed up, the originally crystal clear Nascent Soul has turned into a slightly lighter color. Some were milky white, but the crystal clear part now turned into the cotton-like existence before, sparsely scattered.
The whole process lasted three days.
After finishing his inner vision, Zhang Xiaosheng fell into a sluggish state again. Is he so powerful?
It feels like the first layer of Gu Ying is almost finished.
In fact, this is one of Zhang Xiaosheng's rarest oddities. You must know that a middle-grade Gu Ying Dan can make monks in the late Nascent Soul flock to it, but he is only at the first level now, and the effectiveness of perfect top-grade pills is more than that of mid-grade pills. times.
When I opened the system space again, I saw that Guying's progress had reached 82%.
A perfect, top-grade Infant-Guarding Pill increased the progress of the Nascent Soul's first-level Gu-Ying by a full 80%! !
I just don’t know how the second layer will work…
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaosheng couldn't wait to buy a top-quality infant training pill and swallow it to try the effect. He might end up here, and the practice of training the baby would hinder Guying.
Facts have proved that Zhang Xiaosheng thought too much.
The top-grade Infant Training Pill needs to be completely refined before it can be swallowed. It took Zhang Xiaosheng a full day to refine this pill.
The effectiveness of the elixir provided by System Dad is beyond doubt.
A top-grade infant-nurturing pill increased Zhang Xiaosheng's infant-nurturing progress on the first level of Nascent Soul by a full 6%.
When digesting the Infant-Building Pill, Yuanying could not practice at the same time, but Zhang Xiaosheng's "Five Elements Divine Art" digested the Infant-Building Pill without any pause. Subtracting the 1% improvement from his own cultivation, the effect of one pill actually reached 5% on the first level.
Calculated at this speed, Zhang Xiaosheng still needs fifteen days to complete the first level of training, and within these fifteen days, the Nascent Soul's own breathing of spiritual energy can increase Gu Ying's progress by 5%.
In other words, by the time Zhang Xiaosheng's Peiying progress reached full value, Gu Ying was only at 87%.
As expected, it is easier to train a baby than to strengthen a baby. Even though the elixir instantly increased the progress by 80%, it still cannot catch up with raising a baby.
Sighing slightly, Zhang Xiaosheng bought another top-quality infant training pill and swallowed it, preparing to start the first major retreat in his Nascent Soul stage!
