[Keep calm, insight points +1]
…
In the Jingxin Cave, Shen Lian was refining the medicinal power of the Soul Gathering Pill.
The spiritual power circulates in the body, and the medicinal power is also gradually assimilated into the body's own spiritual power during the circulation.
Within the Dantian, the five elements of spiritual power are gathering and have already filled the Dantian sea.
This is a sign of full accumulation of spiritual power. At this point, it means that the practitioner can advance to a higher realm and further expand the range of the Dantian sea.
In the past two years, Shen Lian has refined a total of twenty-three top-quality Spirit Gathering Pills or True Essence Pills. Even when doing other things, he always puts cultivation first.
When the medicinal power of the Spirit Gathering Pill was completely refined into the body, due to incomplete conversion, a trace of purple-blue color was mixed into the five-colored spiritual power.
This is another reason why cultivators cannot keep refining elixirs. After taking the elixir, you have to consume it completely, otherwise the medicinal power cannot be fully assimilated, which will affect the development of your own spiritual power.
Looking inward at his body and feeling the surging energy in his dantian, Shen Lian not only did not stop to settle the medicinal power, but instead took out another Spirit Gathering Pill and swallowed it.
At the same time, he took out the Tianyan Jade Talisman from the storage bracelet and put it into his Dantian.
The Tianyan Jade Talisman is a jade talisman inlaid with a gold border. In order to distinguish it from the other jade talisman, Shen Lian deliberately gave it a new name.
The ordinary jade talisman was being nourished by the ordinary Tiangang Thunder and Fire Talisman that he had drawn before, and the location had been moved to another cave.
The main reason was that he was afraid that it would explode during the practice and he would not be able to react.
After the Tianyan Jade Talisman sank into the Dantian, it began to glow. Shen Lian mobilized the five elements of spiritual power to cover the jade talisman.
Among the five elements of spiritual power, the fire spiritual power was attracted and drilled into the jade talisman.
At this moment, his mind was locked on the Tianyan Jade Talisman, and he would throw the jade talisman away if there was any abnormality.
The runes outlined within the Tianyan Jade Talisman formed a multiple-core network structure, and the fire spiritual power began to merge into this structure after it was immersed in it.
Shen Lian felt relieved after sensing the internal structure of the jade talisman bit by bit and realizing that it was quite stable.
The Five Qis Converging to the Origin skill was put into practice, integrating the refined medicinal power into the Dantian. After the excess medicinal power was converted into spiritual power, it caused the Dantian sea to swell a little more.
The spiritual power and medicinal power gathered together, causing the Dantian sea to be squeezed, which in turn made the jade talisman absorb the fire spiritual power many times faster.
There is no bottleneck for the jade talisman. There are only talisman patterns engraved inside. You just need to continuously inject energy into it.
After realizing that this method was effective, Shen Lian completely let go.
He regarded himself as a converter, swallowing pills to transform spiritual power. The spiritual power and medicinal power in his dantian were mixed, which created increased pressure and further allowed the fire spiritual power to quickly flow into the Tianyan Jade Talisman.
The Five Qis Converging to the Origin Gong accelerated its circulation in the body, speeding up the circulation of spiritual energy in the meridians. Later, qi began to come out of Shen Lian's body.
After half a month, he stopped.
If you don't stop, it's going to crack.
Dantian never thought that one day it would not be used to store spiritual energy, but to serve as a transit station.
For most cultivators, the bottleneck of advancing from the first level to the second level is not a big deal. As long as the spiritual power is accumulated to a perfect state, the spiritual power can be mobilized to further expand the scope of the Dantian sea.
The foundation-building period is a process of continuously expanding the Dantian sea.
Originally, the spiritual power in Shen Lian's Dantian had almost reached saturation.
Under normal circumstances, he only needs to calm down and settle down for a few days, allowing all the remaining medicinal power in his dantian to be transformed into spiritual power, and then he can start to break through.
But he doesn't.
He took advantage of the fact that the spiritual power in his dantian could not be increased any further and used the dantian sea as a transit station to refine the spirit gathering pill to replenish the Tianyan Jade Talisman.
When practicing by yourself, you still have to worry about whether the Dantian sea is full or not. Now you just need to pour the excess spiritual power into the Tianyan Jade Talisman.
It has no bottleneck and does not require gradual progress.
The only burden is Shen Lian himself.
After refining three Spirit Gathering Pills in fifteen days and transforming them into the energy of the Jade Talisman, his Dantian protested, so he took two days off.
Although Dantian rested for two days, Shen Lian did not rest.
He began to prepare elixirs to stimulate the blood of Dahei and Sanqian.
…
In the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed.
Inside the cave, a variety of auras intertwined.
In the alchemy room, the spiritual fire was dancing, and in the cauldron above the fire, spiritual liquid was gurgling. Sanqian was taking a bath in the alchemy furnace.
From time to time, he would move to the edge of the tripod and half-leap up.
"Master... Master... You really really... don't want to eat me?"
Without receiving a response from Shen Lian, Sanqian swam back into the spiritual liquid.
At the bottom of the tripod there were several strange fish that looked like dragons and pythons, with their eyes wide open and their eyes open. Occasionally, a wisp of golden thread would emerge from their bodies and merge into Sanqian's body.
In the stone chamber next door, Dahei had become a dark-colored mud ball. Looking through the cracks on the surface, it could be seen that Dahei inside had another layer of cracks, and there were two layers of dried outer shells around it.
A violent breath emanated from the mud ball, along with bursts of hissing sounds.
"pain……"
Dahei's bloodline is far less than three thousand, and he has to endure greater pain in the process of activating his bloodline.
In the main room, Shen Lian sat cross-legged on a cushion, with a surging aura around him.
He had refined a total of eighty-nine top-quality true essence and spirit-gathering pills before, and he took twenty-three of them himself, allowing the spiritual power in his dantian to reach saturation.
Later, in order to use the saturated spiritual pressure to nourish the Tianyan Jade Talisman, Shen Lian was not in a hurry to break through.
Over the past six months, in order to increase the power of the jade talisman, he has poured the spiritual power transformed from fifty-seven pills into the Tianyan Jade Talisman.
Leaving aside the power of the jade talisman, Shen Lian, who was the carrier for refining the elixir, broke through the small bottleneck on his own under the repeated flushing of spiritual power in his dantian without him having to deliberately try to break through.
The second level of foundation building.
The surging spiritual power washed the meridians back and forth in the body, and the impurities left over from refining the elixir were washed out through the pores by the spiritual power.
The Dantian sea expanded, and the spiritual energy that was originally in a saturated state suddenly turned into a gurgling stream.
Shen Lian swallowed a Zhenyuan Pill, then grabbed thousands of spirit stones with his big hands and crushed them. Rich spiritual energy surrounded him and enveloped him, and a small spiritual energy vortex formed above his head.
After a large amount of spiritual power enters the body, it circulates throughout the body and sinks into the sea of Dantian.
It took two days to stabilize his realm. At this time, the spiritual power accumulated in Shen Lian's Dantian sea only occupied a little more than one-fifth of the expanded Dantian sea.
“Hiss…”
Inside the cave, a few black-horned demon ants that were lying down felt the pressure from Shen Lian being restrained, and they carefully crawled over.
They all had communication talismans hanging on their bodies, and some of them emitted rapid hissing sounds.
This means that there are other people within the island’s security area.
"Someone is coming."
Shen Lian released his spiritual sense, made contact with the black-horned demon ant, and figured out the situation.
There are a group of new fishermen on the archipelago.
Fishermen make their living from the sea, so it is normal for them to go fishing near the archipelago.
The winds and waves are high in this sea area, and few fishermen come here to fish before.
Let the black-horned demon ant continue to pass on the message. Shen Lian disappeared in the cave and then came out from another cave.
Inside the cave, under the cover of the Five Elements Mysterious Spirit Trapping and Killing Array, thirty-six talismans overflowed with the power of thunder and fire and sank into the jade talisman in the middle.
These thirty-six talismans are already the second batch, and the power of thunder and fire in them is almost completely absorbed by the jade talismans.
Feeling the destructive aura contained in the jade talisman, its power is much higher than the Tianyan Jade Talisman which had not been upgraded before.
Shen Lian used his divine sense to check carefully and found that it would take only ten days at most for the power of thunder and fire in the thirty-six talismans to be completely absorbed.
…
Ten days later.
Shen Lian appeared in the cave again and took down the hanging jade talisman. The talisman papers and talismans floating around turned into powder and floated down.
"Master...something is happening."
A dark and translucent figure, emitting the aura of a ninth-level Qi training level, crawled out of the mud.
"The foreign fishermen said that there was a war on Thousand Kings Island, and there were also demonic cultivators."
After the blood transformation, Dahei has reached the intelligence of a human child of twelve or thirteen years old. As his spiritual power circulates, a yellowish-brown line appears on his back.
Shen Lian casually put away the formation in the cave and disappeared on the spot.
In a bay on the island, more than a dozen fishing boats gathered together to avoid the wind and waves, and each boat was crowded with many people from a family.
Several hundred feet away, Shen Lian's spiritual sense enveloped these fishing boats. He listened to the conversations between the fishermen and found out the situation on Thousand Kings Island.
Seven months ago, a war broke out between Qian, the strongest country on the island, and its neighboring Ying. Subsequently, all five countries on the island were involved in the war, with millions of deaths.
In order to wage war, the five countries forced civilians to join the army and perform forced labor. These fishermen risked their lives to come to the archipelago with high winds and rough waves to avoid danger.
"When mortals fight, demons appear."
Shen Lian was speechless. He didn't expect that he would not be at peace even in the mortal world.
He was a dignified foundation-building cultivator, and in his eyes, the war between mortals was no different from the fight between a colony of black-horned ants.
But this is the world of immortals. The imperial power of the secular country is granted by immortals. Without the permission of immortals, how dare a big fight break out in the mortal world?
Behind Qian Kingdom is the Xuanhai Sect, the largest sect in Wanxinghai, and behind the other four countries are Jindan-level forces.
These sects should just focus on cultivating immortality instead of bothering with mortals.
There was still a demon cultivator, Shen Lian couldn't help but ask, is this demon cultivator real? His figure disappeared outside the fishing boat and returned to the cave again.
He didn't care and just let them fight. He planned to move to another place.
Afterwards, Shen Lian took out two jade talismans and began to compare them. After being busy for so long, the two jade talismans were finally successfully nurtured.
His divine consciousness sank into the Tianyan Jade Talisman and was immediately enveloped by a dazzling golden fire and lightning. The aura of destruction rushed through his body and caused his spiritual power to vibrate.
The listing has not been confirmed yet. Sanjiang is still in the PK this week. If he can win the PK to promote the new book, it may be put on the shelves next week. If he cannot win the PK, it will be put on the shelves this Friday.
