Do not die

After cultivating third-level spirit puppet production to a perfect level, Meng Zhou no longer had any urgent needs in terms of conventional combat power.

In addition, there are minor magical powers such as "Five Elements Escape", "Wanxiang Method" and "Green Lotus Sword Essence" which can be used as a grenade.

Meng Zhou discovered that his conventional attack methods were no longer weak, but too strong, far beyond his current level of cultivation.

In addition, the "Transparent Moon Mirror" predicts bad omens, and the five elements and all things body give him a super sense of danger.

It can be said that his combat ability and survival ability have already surpassed his current level of cultivation.

Meng Zhou found that under the current circumstances, what he should do most was not to continue to improve conventional combat capabilities, but to make up for some shortcomings.

Meng Zhou had already figured this out.

Because of the absence of the third-level soul refining method, compared to other aspects, the shortcomings in the soul aspect will exist for a long time.

Although, if compared horizontally with other true elixir monks, Meng Zhou's methods in terms of souls are not bad at all.

But the object of comparison is never others, but himself.

When thinking about this, an idea came naturally.

"I should have a powerful and direct soul attack method."

Now Meng Zhou does not lack the means of attacking souls. The soul-shaking technique is a pure means of attacking souls. Now, this soul technique has been turned into an independent ability of the "Transparent Dao Body", and its power has been further improved. strengthen.

The Baiqiao Leiyin combined with the Leiyin Rebuking Sword, using a special attack method such as sound waves, can also penetrate the barrier of the sea of ​​​​consciousness and pierce the soul.

After these two skills were gifted, they became an important part of the "Five Elements Vientiane Body" and the "Green Lotus Sword Body", and their power was equally extraordinary.

Back then, he faced two true elixir demon cultivators in the demon nest at the base of the mountains of the Lihen Sect.

Meng Zhou didn't even show his face, but used the poison of Yanluo Miasma to kill one of them.

Then, he used the Thunder Sound of Hundred Apertures and the Thunder Sound Sword to "accurately explode" inside another person's body, shattering his internal organs and destroying his soul.

But Meng Zhou was not very satisfied with these methods.

Although their power is very impressive, they are too scattered and far from what Meng Zhou really expected.

Meng Zhou's expectation was that this newly created divine soul attack method could maximize the potential of the three Tao bodies and bring them into full play.

"The characteristics of the soul-shaking technique must be utilized, and the use of sound waves in Baiqiao Leiyin and Leiyin Sword must also be utilized, and more in-depth analysis must be done."

"The specific attack forms are most suitable to be integrated within the scope of swordsmanship."

"This is a soul skill, and it should also be a sword skill."

Thinking of these, the thoughts that had been sitting in my heart for a long time came to my mind again.

When Meng Zhou was still building his foundation, in order to complete his "natural sword body", Meng Zhou created some sword skills of his own.

The two sets of swordsmanship, Leiyinchujian and Fenghuaxueyue, each with its own special features, were created in this context.

At that time, Meng Zhou had an idea, which was to create a swordsmanship that was more applicable and could adapt to more environments.

Because all the swordsmanship he knew at that time had an implicit restriction, that is, the environment for performing it must rely on the void.

If it were in an environment like water, the power of swordsmanship would be greatly reduced.

And if you are under the earth, there is not even a little room for display.

At that time, Meng Zhou had the idea in his mind to create a swordsmanship that could be used in various environments as much as possible, and he even had some rough ideas.

But in the end, he found that such swordsmanship was not something he could achieve while he was still in the foundation-building realm, so he temporarily sealed it up.

At this moment, when Meng Zhou wanted to create a divine soul attack method, as the conditions were listed one by one, these dusty thoughts naturally came to his mind.

Meng Zhou was surprised to find that these two projects could actually be summarized into one project.

"A swordsmanship that can be used in various environments... If we really want to investigate, can't the sea of ​​consciousness be regarded as a new environment?"

“Whether it is the sky, water, or earth, the environment is ever-changing, and they can all be unified in the material world or the real world.

The most suitable method for connecting various environments in the real world is ‘wave’. "

“This is started directly from the real world, and its characteristics are direct but clumsy.

There is another way, which is to bypass the real world and start directly from the real world. "

“From the perspective of reality, the world is complete and integrated.

There is no difference between the sky, the earth, the water, or other environmental changes in the real world.

What they all have is a set of rules. "

"For other monks, even if they can think of this problem, it is difficult to solve it well.

But I am different, I have mastered the ‘Five Elements Escape’.

By borrowing this little magical power, I have been able to shuttle back and forth between the real world and the real world very skillfully. "

"The sea of ​​consciousness, soul, thoughts, soul, emotions, etc., are different from the real world and the real world, and are completely unique to the practitioner's personal 'small world', and all of this can be called the 'spiritual world'. "

"The body exists in the real world. Through continuous practice and sublimation, you can gradually peek, touch, and even travel in the real world."

“It is also sublimated through cultivation, and with the opening of the sea of ​​consciousness, this is also the opening of the ‘spiritual world’.

The 'I' who coexisted with flesh and blood began to be separated from the flesh and blood of the real world and concentrated in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Not only has a soul been formed and spiritual consciousness can be used, but even the ethereal emotions and thoughts have gradually gained real power. "

"So, the swordsmanship that I originally envisioned to attack the soul, to put it another way, is the swordsmanship that can attack the 'spiritual world'."

"In this case, we can completely improve the pattern and create a swordsmanship that can pass through the 'Three Realms'."

"Compared to the real world and the real world, it is the most difficult to travel to the spiritual world."

"Since the most difficult part has been included from the beginning, then naturally the first two realms can be included."

After clarifying this, Meng Zhou's thoughts suddenly became clear.

If you want this swordsmanship to pass through the three realms without any obstacles, you need a medium.

But for Meng Zhou, this was ready-made.

The Baiqiao Leiyin combined with the Leiyin Rebuking Sword is inherently lethal against both the real world and the spiritual world of the Sea of ​​Consciousness.

The soul-shaking technique can even cause a "soul earthquake" within the enemy's sea of ​​consciousness.

Their functional characteristics, in Meng Zhou's understanding, can all be summarized within the category of "wave".

After clarifying these, everything that follows is very simple.

Organize, refine and summarize these complex thoughts into a suitable framework.

In addition, I want to find ways to enhance my ability to perceive music and sound waves.

It is precisely because of these thoughts that the conversation between Meng Zhou and Bai Zhi took place.

Although the answer given by Meng Zhou did not satisfy Bai Zhi, she also figured out what the other party meant.

Moreover, although she was not proficient in music, at this moment, after being reminded by the other party, she also found that she had the urge to give it a try.

Anyway, idle is idle……

Thinking like this, Bai Zhi nodded and said:

"Okay, I can learn... When will you invite the teacher over?"

"What teacher?" Meng Zhou was confused.

Bai Zhi said in shock: "There is no teacher?...You don't want me to study on my own?!"

Meng Zhou shook his head, "I'll teach you."

"You teach me? Are you still proficient in the art of music?"

At first, Bai Zhi thought that Meng Zhou "encouraged" her to learn the art of music out of some kind of fun.

After all, although spiritual tea is delicious, if you drink it every day, you will easily get bored.

If you can play the flute and flute occasionally, it can also add some fun to your life.

She thought about it in her own mind and felt that it was pretty good. Life suddenly became more colorful.

Now that she heard that the other party was actually proficient in the art of music, she really didn't expect it. She murmured in her heart that this guy was tolerable.

Since he has this ability, everyone has been together for so long, but he has not even seen him show off his skills.

With these thoughts in mind, Bai Zhi's interest has been completely aroused.

"Do you want to start now? Right here?"

Meng Zhou did not teach him directly. He was worried that his broken voice would be too lethal and the two foundation builders would not be able to bear it.

He asked another question:

“Your ‘shape drawing’ talent can directly copy other people’s abilities.

Then can you directly use this talent to draw my ability for your use? "

Bai Zhi said helplessly: "Although this ability is good, it is not omnipotent. There are still many limitations... If not for this, I would have become invincible by building a foundation."

According to Bai Zhi's explanation, the prerequisite for activating the ability to "draw shapes" is to have close contact with the object of the drawing for a long time.

But this is just an appearance. The real purpose is that only this kind of close and long-term contact can allow her, as a painter, to accurately capture the temperament, form and spirit of the object she is painting.

Only in this way will she gradually develop a feeling of "confidence" in her heart and know how to put pen to paper.

Otherwise, even if you get along with the other party for a hundred years, it will be in vain.

And all practitioners will consciously converge and cover up their true aura.

The higher the cultivation level and the stronger the monk, the more he will pay attention to this.

For her, the higher the cultivation level of the monk, especially the higher cultivation level than her, the harder it is for her to capture the other person's temperament, form and spirit, and the harder it is to capture the other person's skills into the painting.

And Meng Zhou, in Bai Zhi's original words, "You are just a slippery, watertight pebble. There is no way to observe or start."

After listening to Bai Zhi's explanation, Meng Zhou understood.

"Then what skills do I want you to learn from me?"

"Then you can't seal yourself so tightly, at least show me the aura of the corresponding skills."

At this point in the conversation, Bai Zhi had roughly understood what Meng Zhou meant.

Meng Zhou nodded and said, "In that case, just observe."

Saying this, Meng Zhou had already displayed the aura of skills related to sound attack without any concealment.

Bai Zhi looked around, hesitated and said, "How about... let's change places?"

"Is there anything wrong here?" Meng Zhou asked doubtfully.

Bai Zhi said softly: "You do this because you hope I can learn it as soon as possible, right?"

"Of course." Meng Zhou nodded.

"In this case, it would be too slow to observe the effect directly." Bai Zhi said softly.

Seeing the change in her expression, Meng Zhou immediately thought of something and said in surprise: "Is this still necessary..."

As he spoke, he directly sent a vivid illustration into the Bai Zhi Sea of ​​Consciousness.

Bai Zhi's cheeks turned red immediately, and she quickly said: "No way, I just need to put my hand on your chest."

That's it?

Meng Zhou puffed out his chest and said, "Then just press it, what are you talking about... Is there anything inappropriate here? Is it appropriate to go to your room?"

When Bai Zhi thought about it, it seemed, it seemed, that this was even more inappropriate.

She looked to the side and saw that Zhu Qi, who was supposed to be sitting there, had disappeared at some point.

"Okay...okay."

Bai Zhi, who felt helpless, slowly stretched out her right hand and gently pressed it against Meng Zhou's chest.

Instantly, a strong breath rushed into her heart.

There were no other distracting thoughts in her heart, and she seemed to be filled with endless thunder and roars that resounded throughout the world.

At this moment, countless questions arose in her mind.

Is this the melody?

…

This is the sound of nature!

If he knew the confusion in Bai Zhi's heart, Meng Zhou would definitely respond like this.

After sharing the sound attack-related skills such as Baiqiao Leiyin, Leiyin Sword, and even the roar of the peaks with Bai Zhi's sensor to "read", Meng Zhou no longer continued to be distracted by Bai Zhi, but slowly Immersed in my own realization.

In such a leisurely and fulfilling daily life, time flies by.

In May, Xuangui's real skill of carrying the stele completed the initial accumulation and advanced to the minor level.

August, mid.

Bai Zhi's palm left Meng Zhou's chest and whispered: "Okay."

Meng Zhou paused his meditation, with a look of expectation in his eyes, "Show me."

Bai Zhi nodded slightly, she had already stood up, walked out of the waterside pavilion, and came to an open area.

At this moment, a paintbrush appeared in her hand, and she began to use the void as paper and slowly sketched.

Before long, the lines of the strokes were all over the void around her.

Front, back, left, right, up and down.

The strokes and lines form an extremely complicated spider web maze.

Its complexity has already surpassed the white-haired old woman that Bai Zhi drew for the first time when she showed her ability as a painter.

Bai Zhi did not stop writing, but continued.

Bai Zhi's mana has reached the edge of exhaustion.

Meng Zhou stretched out his hand and ejected a little mana at her. Soon, Bai Zhi's body, which was about to run out of mana, was once again filled with surging mana.

Even the somewhat tired state has been restored.

This happened again and again, until Meng Zhou helped Bai Zhi restore her mana and condition for the fourth time, and when her mental strength was almost exhausted, Bai Zhi finally stopped.

"alright."

Bai Zhi, whose face had turned a little pale due to excessive mental exertion, breathed a long sigh of relief, and the paintbrush in her hand regenerated its magic power and disappeared.

She looked up at the void around her, and the mana lines began to flow like a spider web maze.

Bai Zhi stretched out her hand, and the "spider web maze" in the void began to shrink rapidly.

Finally, it turned into a substantial heraldry emblem, fell on her palm, and sank into her palm.

As this strange emblem integrated into her body, Bai Zhi, who was still a little pale, seemed to have swallowed some powerful tonic, and a blush appeared on her face.

She looked at Meng Zhou next to her and said with a happy smile: "I have successfully acquired all of your abilities."

Meng Zhou, who watched and witnessed the whole process, had a look of surprise in his eyes and said curiously:

"Can you copy all skills in this way?"

Bai Zhi shook her head and said:

"I thought it was the same, but now I understand that it can't be done."

"Why? Is there any limit to the ability to draw shapes?" Meng Zhou was curious.

Bai Zhi shook her head again.

“It’s not a problem of my ability to ‘draw shapes’, but a problem of myself.

The ability mastered in this way is not endless, it has a limit. "

"Your ability is a bit too strong for me, and now I feel like I'm full.

...Even after a period of adjustment of digestion, with similar abilities, it is still impossible to eat, and at most half of it can be eaten.

If there are more, I will have to consider whether to give up the profession of spiritual planter. "

Meng Zhou nodded slightly and had a better understanding of Bai Zhi's abilities.

Bai Zhi suddenly said: "No, I have to go to sleep first... I will show you these abilities after I have almost digested them."

…

Ten days later, in the Linchi waterside pavilion.

Zhu Qian, who had been "invisible" for a long time, appeared again, waiting for Bai Zhi's "performance" with Meng Zhou.

Bai Zhi stood there, brewing for a long time, and suddenly opened her eyes.

Zhu Qian, who was full of expectation, stared with wide eyes, wanting to see what amazing performance the teacher would do.

But soon, her face froze with anticipation.

It was as if a market had suddenly opened in Bai Zhi's body. There was thunder and drums, and the sound was lively.

Zhu Qian's expression became increasingly weird, and she couldn't help but complain: "Teacher, how should I appreciate your musical skills?"

Bai Zhi's expression froze for a moment, then her eyes widened, she opened her mouth and scolded: "Presumptuous!"

Almost the moment Bai Zhi said the words, Zhu Qian felt a huge force appear in front of her.

It was like an invisible big slap hit her, and her body left her seat uncontrollably and flew out of the water pavilion.

It wasn't until he flew dozens of meters involuntarily that he regained control of his body and hurriedly adjusted his body shape.

She ducked into the waterside pavilion and looked at Bai Zhi with surprise:

"Teacher, what method did you use just now? Why is there no trace of magic? It's like I was knocked away by your words."

Bai Zhi smiled and said: "You feel good, you were blown away by just one sentence."

"ah?"

Zhu Qian stood there dumbfounded, but Bai Zhi had no time to pay attention to her. Instead, she looked at Meng Zhou, her expression relaxed.

"These abilities are indeed very powerful, but this is not the way of music!" she complained.

Meng Zhou smiled and said, "Have you ever seen cooking?"

Bai Zhi nodded: "I've seen it before, what does it have to do with this?"

“The same ingredients, cooked by different people, have different flavors.

The skills you get from me are equivalent to a plate of dishes that have already been prepared.

You can't just copy it as it is, but you have to learn to discern.

Identify which ones are ‘raw materials’ and which ones are my own ‘methods’.

What you need to do is to identify and retain those "raw materials" as much as possible, eliminate those "methods" that belong to me, and use your skills to cook them again!

I think only in this way can you truly digest and absorb these abilities. "

Bai Zhi listened carefully, her eyes shining.

He murmured softly: "Is this still necessary?...My 'method'?...But what should I do? I don't understand the art of music either?"

Meng Zhou chuckled and said, "You don't need to understand!"

"I don't need to understand?" Bai Zhi was confused and confused.

"Yes, you don't need to understand it at all, just like a fish doesn't need to learn to swim."

Because of the characteristic of "drawing shapes", Bai Zhi's current level as a painter is at the second-level limit. The three abilities she has obtained, namely Hundred Apertures Thunder Sound, Thunder Sound Rebuking Sword, and Peak Roar, all have reached the second-level perfection level.

She didn't know the specific methods of cultivating these abilities, and she didn't need to know, because "drawing shapes" directly brought her mastery of them to the second level of perfection.

Zhu Qian next to her was completely confused, but Bai Zhi seemed to understand, "Then...then what should I do now?"

"Go with your feelings."

"Follow your feelings?"

"Yes, just follow your feelings.

To be more specific, you can try to think of it as a paintbrush in another sense.

Just like your daily painting, you can do it as you feel comfortable and as you like.

Use sound to enter painting, and use painting to enter sound.

There is painting in the sound, and there is sound in the painting! "

At this moment, Bai Zhi's eyes became extremely bright, and the light and shadow were blurred.

She whispered repeatedly in her mouth:

“Integrate sound into painting, and use painting to inject sound.

There is painting in the sound, and there is sound in the painting.

…

I seem to understand somewhat..."

…

September.

Meng Zhou closed his eyes and sat cross-legged in the waterside pavilion. There was a melodious flute sound echoing in the cave.

This flute sound has an ethereal timbre, but it does not have a particularly catchy melody. It has an unintentional and leisurely tone.

The strange thing is that amidst the sound of the flute, Meng Zhou, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, felt that he was not in a waterside cave, but in a vast and vast sea, sitting on a small rock.

This world is so empty and so lonely.

Except for this sky and this sea, he is the only one left.

The blue waves of the sea rippled with the ethereal flute sound that seemed to come from the horizon. Gradually, the flute sound unknowingly became louder and more exciting, while the waves of the sea that were originally just undulating gently became more and more turbulent. Surging momentum.

At this moment, a huge wave with a height of 100 meters suddenly hit Meng Zhou.

Meng Zhou, who was sitting cross-legged on the rocks, was content and undaunted. An invisible sword suddenly took shape above his head. It grew when the wind caught the wind and quickly transformed into a giant sword that was also a hundred meters long.

Then, without dodging or avoiding, he struck head-on towards the huge wave that hit him head-on.

But just before the two were about to confront each other, it was so fierce at that moment, as if the huge waves that filled the world suddenly dissipated like foam.

Meng Zhou, who had his eyes closed cross-legged, opened his eyes, looked to one side, and said dissatisfied:

"What's the matter with you? Why do you always lose your temper at critical moments?"

Next to her, Bai Zhi, who originally wanted to apologize, suddenly puffed up her cheeks and looked like I was a little angry.

Seeing this, Meng Zhou quickly put away his dissatisfaction and patiently pointed out Bai Zhi's shortcomings.

Where did the sea come from, where did the rocks come from, and there was not even a trace of illusion.

The situation just now was a "world of sound" constructed entirely from the sound of Angelica dahurica's flute.

Some sounds inherently have a strong sense of imagery. When hearing certain melodies, people will subconsciously think of raindrops, spring, autumn wind, etc.

After Meng Zhou's guidance, Bai Zhi completely opened up the barrier between "sound" and "painting", and even brought it to its peak.

Even if you do it casually, you can give the sound a strong sense of picture.

But for Meng Zhou's requirements, Bai Zhi, who had achieved this, had only just reached the basic standard.

Bai Zhi still needs to continue to explore in depth on this path.

However, for now, she can barely be a sparring partner.

Meng Zhou was finally able to perform many of his deep feelings in a suitable environment.

What this means to Meng Zhou is like an extremely complicated calculation problem. He also knows the method of solving the problem, but the entire calculation process can only be carried out in his mind.

But now, Bai Zhi's special "world of sound" built with flute sounds is like giving him a piece of scratch paper and a martial arts stage, which has greatly improved his efficiency.

After Meng Zhou pointed out the shortcomings of Bai Zhi's flute performance from the perspective of an "opponent", Bai Zhi, who had listened carefully, raised one hand.

"Do you have anything to say?" Meng Zhou asked.

"Yeah." Bai Zhi nodded quickly.

"explain."

"Don't you think that instead of expecting me to make more progress in a short period of time, wouldn't the best solution be to suppress your strength even lower?"

"Do you still want to keep it down?"

Bai Zhi nodded hurriedly, "You should have noticed that although I have been making continuous progress in my discussions with you during this period, the rate of progress has become slower and slower... This is the fact. This is not something I can change regardless of my efforts. of."

Meng Zhou nodded slowly in his heart, agreeing with Bai Zhi's explanation.

His purpose is not to defeat Bai Zhi, that makes no sense.

Instead, she needs to use the special "platform" she built to try out the swordsmanship in her heart.

Originally, considering Bai Zhi's own cultivation, Meng Zhou suppressed his strength to a level that was slightly stronger than the sixth level of foundation building, but slightly weaker than the seventh level of foundation building.

But now it seems that this is still a bit too much for Bai Zhi.

Meng Zhou decided to continue to suppress his strength until he reached about the fourth level of the foundation building before trying again.

After thinking it over carefully, Meng Zhou nodded and said, "Okay, you can try it."

The corners of Bai Zhi's mouth were slightly curved, as if her "treacherous plot" had succeeded.

However, just as she was putting the bamboo flute made of the second-grade pure-sounding bamboo to her lips and preparing to play, Meng Zhou suddenly stopped and said, "Wait a minute."

Bai Zhi looked at him doubtfully.

Meng Zhou said: "There is an exchange meeting being held in Sanchuan Plain these two days. It is very lively. Do you want to go out for a walk?"

Bai Zhi quickly shook her head and said, "I won't go."

Thinking that she could "violently kill" Meng Zhou with the sound of the flute later, she had no intention of going to any exchange meeting.

Meng Zhou nodded. It was impossible for him not to notice her little thoughts, but as long as he could help him understand the sword technique that can penetrate the three realms faster, what could he do if she could use the sound of the flute to show off her power? .

It is worth mentioning that since the plans for the reconstruction of Sanchuan City and the deployment of city defense arrays were agreed upon at the beginning of this year, the area around the original Sanchuan City has become a large construction site.

However, the quarterly black market trade and the annual exchange meeting were not canceled because of this. Instead, they were held in a series of camps built dozens of miles away from Sanchuan City.

The excitement was almost as good as last year.

You know, during last year's exchange meeting, there was also a celebration for Meng Zhou and Ding Ning to form an elixir.

On the one hand, this is of course because the reputation of Mikawahara is becoming more and more popular.

At the same time, it is also because the number of practitioners in the entire Qingxuan Domain is increasing every year.

In addition, there is another important reason, that is, the main palace of Sanchuanyuan City has spread the word to the outside world that it will restart the spiritual field reclamation work in the entire Sanchuanyuan after completing the deployment of the city defense array.

The superposition of these factors has resulted in the current prosperous situation in Sanchuan Plain.

Just when Bai Zhi's flute music once again created the blue waves of the sea and a hundred-meter frenzied wave crashing towards him, "Zhuang Sheng" was wandering among the dense flow of people at the exchange meeting.

…

October, the fifth day of the lunar month.

Cultivation progress +720, one level of elixir formation is 9615/10,000;

Third level Spring Water Sutra +2400, minor success 24,000/30,000;

Black Turtle Bearing Monument's real skill is +2400, minor success is 12,300/30,000.

Late.

Under the influence of the faint sound of the flute, the originally calm sea with only slight ripples suddenly surged, attacking Meng Zhou who was sitting on the rocks from all directions.

The ferocious momentum seemed to even cause the sky to collapse.

Facing such a ferocious wave, an invisible sword formed above Meng Zhou's head and quickly grew to a size of seven or eight meters.

Compared to the waves of shots coming from all directions, this flying sword is undoubtedly small.

But as the long sword cut through the void, it appeared in all directions, front, back, left, and right like a flash.

The position where these long swords appear can always accurately hit the most critical node of the 100-meter wave.

Whenever a "vital point" is hit, the frenzy that was so powerful a moment ago quickly turns into a paper tiger.

However, the sound of the flute did not stop. As the sound of the flute continued to rise and fall, subsequent frenzy hit him one after another.

In fact, Bai Zhi's ability to barely achieve this "evenly matched" result was the result of her continuous cheating.

After his strength was further restricted, Meng Zhou integrated the essence of the two sword skills of sword light differentiation and mountain cutting and sea splitting into this invisible sound sword.

In an instant, hundreds of flying swords filled the space between heaven and earth, and the 100-meter wave collapsed instantly, and the subsequent waves were also suppressed.

So, Bai Zhi quit.

"It's too strong. It needs to be banned. It needs to be banned."

Then, Meng Zhou integrated the swordsmanship of Fenghuaxueyue into this invisible sound sword.

So, in the boundless sea created by Angelica dahuricae with flute sounds, there are cold winds blowing, snowflakes drifting, and even the bright moon shining on the sea.

It will directly and fundamentally destroy the sound environment of the boundless sea.

"Foul, foul, you've ruined the place, why are you still playing?"

Meng Zhou readily accepted Bai Zhi's "complaint".

He took the initiative to ban this method and continued to "fight fiercely" with it.

In this seemingly playful game, Meng Zhou successively incorporated various swordsmanship and even non-swordsmanship skills into it.

Enrich it, purify it, nurture it.

Meng Zhou felt more and more comfortable.

The swordsmanship that originally only had a rough outline became more and more clear.

In this kind of discussion, Bai Zhi has also grown greatly.

Although her cultivation level has not changed at all, her actual combat ability has made a qualitative leap in just a few months.

She already had the peak foundation-building cultivation level, but now she could stand at the top of the foundation-building combat power with just a bamboo flute.

Even if he can't compare with him at the peak of foundation building, it is no problem to sweep three or five fake pills.

Moreover, there is no need to use hands at all, just the sound of a flute is enough.

At Meng Zhou's signal, both sides stopped fighting.

Bai Zhi still had some unfinished ideas. For the first time, in "actual combat", she faced Meng Zhou's continuous attacks and played an ebb and flow, continuous state.

She is completely free from any interference from the outside world. As long as her magic power is sufficient and her mental energy is not exhausted, she feels that she can continue to play, just like the real ocean frenzy.

However, she now also knows that Meng Zhou will retreat for several days at the end of each month.

So, even though I still had some unfinished thoughts, I still stopped.

"What do you think of giving this song a name?" Bai Zhi asked.

"Let's call it Bihai Chao Shengqu."

…

Consciousness is at the ninth level. After a certain cycle, Meng Zhou suddenly felt that the whole world had undergone a small transformation and sublimation.

Meng Zhou knew that this was a sign that his cultivation had completed the accumulation of the first level of pill formation and had broken through to the second level of pill formation.

…

The fifth day of November. afternoon.

Cultivation progress +385, +170, second level of elixir formation 170/10,000;

Third level Spring Water Sutra +2400, small success 26,400/30,000;

Black Turtle Bearing Monument's real skill is +2400, minor success is 14,700/30,000.

"Second level of pill formation."

When he opened his eyes and woke up, Meng Zhou had a smile on his lips.

After carefully experiencing this improvement in realm, Meng Zhou felt an obvious difference.

With this promotion, his strength has improved in all aspects.

This is very different from the state during foundation building.

The improvement of the foundation-building realm is basically only related to the Qi-refining method. Although the advancement of the soul-refining method and the body-refining method can also bring about improvements in certain aspects of strength, they are independent of the improvement of the foundation-building realm.

For example, Meng Zhou, as he cultivated the soul refining method and the body refining method to the second level of perfection, his soul and body refining achievements reached the second level limit early, but his foundation building cultivation was still moving forward slowly.

But now it's different.

The most obvious manifestation is in the body training method. As the third-level Black Turtle Bearing Monument true skill is integrated into the three-pole cycle, while becoming a boosting factor for the acceleration of practice, it also loses its independent state.

The body refining method has continuously completed the accumulation of breakthroughs from entry to first level, and has now advanced to small level, but Meng Zhou did not feel too obvious changes.

It wasn't until this breakthrough in cultivation, from the first level of pill formation to the second level of pill formation, that Meng Zhou felt that his body refining achievements had suddenly improved.

At the same time, the sea of ​​consciousness and the soul also experienced significant growth with this breakthrough.

As for the growth and transformation of mana, it is even more obvious.

This kind of tight binding actually limits the growth in body refining. Otherwise, he can definitely reach the third-level mid-level or even the third-level high-level body refining achievement faster like the foundation building stage.

But Meng Zhou didn't feel sorry for this. Instead, he was very happy about this change.

This made him feel that his mental state was more unified and harmonious.

Isn't this the state he hopes for most?

…

When Meng Zhou walked out of the quiet room, he found Bai Zhi waiting for him by the pond.

Bai Zhi stared at him carefully for a few times and asked curiously: "Did you gain a lot from this retreat?"

Meng Zhou was shocked and thought, could it be that I am not good at concealing my aura?

He also checked himself carefully and found that there was no problem, and asked doubtfully: "How did you see it?"

Bai Zhi looked speechless, "Because you are smiling."

"ah?"

Meng Zhou didn't expect this to be the reason.

He coughed lightly and said, "Let's continue."

As he said that, he found a random rock and sat down, slowly closing his eyes.

Bai Zhi nodded and brought the clear-sounding bamboo flute to her lips, and a faint flute sound sounded.

In an instant, Meng Zhou returned to the endless blue sea.

The sea was so real that as the flute played by, Meng Zhou even felt the salty sea breeze blowing on his face.

However, facing Bai Zhi who was making progress again, Meng Zhou suppressed his strength even further, from the fourth level of foundation building to the third level of foundation building, and finally stayed at the second level of foundation building. Only then could Bai Zhi fight with him. It was evenly matched.

…

December, the fifth day of the lunar month.

Cultivation progress +360, second level of pill formation 530/10,000;

Third level Spring Water Sutra +2400, small success 28,800/30,000;

Black Turtle Bearing Monument's real skill is +2400, minor success is 17,100/30,000.

After finishing this retreat, Meng Zhou counted the reserves of Qinglian Sword Marrow.

Before he went into seclusion in early November and reached the second level of alchemy cultivation, Meng Zhou had accumulated a total of one hundred and forty-seven drops of Green Lotus Sword Essence.

As the cultivation level breaks through the second level of Dao Jie Dan, the output of Qinglian Sword Marrow increases from eight drops per month to ten drops per month.

Coupled with the accumulation of seclusion in the past few days, the total reserve of Qinglian Sword Marrow has reached one hundred and sixty-two drops.

After coming out of seclusion, he continued to discuss with Bai Zhi.

The next day, Meng Zhou rarely walked out of his cave again and came to the Jixue Army's Zhuangtian garrison dozens of miles away.

This was what he had agreed with Yao Gu in advance.

When he saw Yao Gu, Meng Zhou raised his hands and congratulated:

"Commander Yao, congratulations, now we can be friends again."

Hearing this, Yao Gu smiled bitterly and said:

"Sir, you are trying to tame me. I am just a fake elixir, how can I be worthy of your Taoist friend?"

However, even though he smiled bitterly, it could be seen that Yao Gu was still in a good mood.

His original plan was to directly formulate the true elixir.

There was a lot of preparation work to be done. In his original plan, before going through the pass to form the elixir, he must go to Qinglinfang and Xinlou to take a photo of a third-level spiritual object that would help form the elixir.

But because of Meng Zhou's advice last time, he gave up the idea of ​​forming a true elixir this time, and he suddenly felt much more relaxed.

Not only did it break through into a fake elixir within this year, but it also basically incurred no additional costs.

Yao Gu actually didn't have much confidence in whether he would be able to obtain life-changing spiritual objects from the Sanchuan Society in the future and resume his path.

But it was based on his trust in "Mr. Ge" that he made this decision that almost determined his future.

After a simple congratulation, Meng Zhou said nothing more about the matter.

He has turned his attention to the hundreds of injured patients in the hospital.

Three hundred and fifty people were injured in foundation building, ten were fake elixirs, and three hundred and sixty people were "added to the head" by Qi training.

A spring rain enveloped them all.

As the patter of spring rain melted into their bodies, in addition to the improvement visible to the naked eye, there were also traces of evil, poisonous, and diseased air washing out of their bodies, which were collected by Meng Zhou.

This time, the reason why there were so many injuries was not just the "contribution" of Blue Blood Plains, Qianhu Island, and Wucailing.

There are also requests from other forces to come here to receive their own treatment through the Blue Blood Army. This is what was agreed upon last time.

After completing these treatments, Meng Zhou went to another place nearby under the leadership of Yao Gu.

As soon as he entered, a strong fishy smell hit his face.

President Pan was waiting eagerly at the door.

The moment he saw Meng Zhou, he was excited but also a little nervous. He quickly stepped forward and greeted: "Mr."

Meng Zhou smiled and nodded, and soon came to the animal pen.

He looked carefully at the monster beasts that were separated and kept in captivity by the formation, and his brows gradually wrinkled.

The state of these monster beasts can no longer be described as bad.

Some were bone-crunched, looking as if they were not far from death to the naked eye, some were angry and restless, running back and forth, and some were dull and stupid, as if their little intelligence had completely collapsed. Bad, a complete chaos and ignorance.

Among them, the most numerous ones are the Earth-Shaking Bull and the Rainforest Black Toad. There are also many other types of monsters, with the total number reaching two hundred.

Seeing Meng Zhou looking at him carefully, President Pan also introduced:

"I gathered all the monsters in the worst condition in Mikawa Plain. You see... can they be saved?"

Meng Zhou nodded and said, "Let's try it."

President Pan was about to open the formation so that Meng Zhou could use his methods, but Meng Zhou shook his head and said, "No need."

Then, President Pan, Yao Gu and others were surprised to find that in the separation of each formation, there were independent light rains falling, but they seemed to be connected together.

This "spring rain" lasted for more than two hours, which took longer than the treatment of those false foundation-building elixirs.

To Meng Zhou's relief, curing those false foundation-building elixirs only increased his career progress as a medicine spiritualist by thirty points, while curing the monsters increased his progress by a full one hundred and fifty points.

At the same time, all kinds of disease, evil, and poisonous energy washed out from the bodies of these monsters were collected by Meng Zhou. Both the weight and quality exceeded the "contribution" of those monks.

Looking at those earth-shaking bulls that were reborn, Meng Zhou finally gave these things a name.

"Let's call him Niu Bao."

President Pan, Yao Gu and others were very happy to see these monsters that had been almost sentenced to death recover again.

President Pan handed Meng Zhou a large bag of spiritual stones that he had prepared long ago. Meng Zhou glanced at it and found that there were two thousand high-grade spiritual stones in it.

This is the standard fee for treating Foundation Establishment monks.

Meng Zhou thought for a while, but only took four hundred high-grade spiritual stones, and said: "We will follow this standard from now on."

One monster and two high-grade spiritual stones, Meng Zhou thought this was more appropriate.

If the charging standard is too high, it is very likely that some monsters will not receive their own treatment and will be killed directly to obtain materials.

Please help, what is a more appropriate name for swordsmanship?
