Killing God

When the Qi Refining Realm is cultivated to a high-level state, all the large and small blocking nodes of the whole body's Qi veins are opened up, and the spiritual power flows in the Qi veins without hindrance, and the speed of operation is several times faster than that of the previous elementary and middle stages. .At the same time, the spiritual power absorbed into the body has accumulated to a certain thickness, and there is a tendency of fusion and convergence. All kinds of hard work and preparations are only for finally opening up a jade mansion in the sea of ​​​​qi in the dantian under the abdomen to absorb the whole body of spiritual power , and then stepping on the real first step of cultivating immortality—the Yuan Condensation Realm.

This step is extremely critical, but also extremely difficult. I don't know how many monks in the world who are full of dreams about the immortal way stop outside the threshold of this Yuan Condensation Realm for various reasons throughout their lives.There are naturally various reasons for this, some are limited by poor talent, some have good roots but are too poorly born to be inherited by a famous teacher, and some are poor in life and after reaching a high level of Qi Refining Realm, the cost of spirit crystals is high. unaffordable...

However, most of these weird reasons are aimed at casual cultivators. For these famous disciples on Herring Island under the Lingxiao Sect, most of these obstacles do not exist. In many cases, the key still depends on the individual's talent. , In addition, if you are quick-witted on Herring Island, you can earn more spirit crystals than others within the scope allowed by the gate rules, and buy extraordinary elixir such as Yangqi Pill, Peiyuan Pill, etc., and eat them as snacks all day long. Of course, this cultivation progress will be faster than others.

In the autumn of this year, the sky was high and the air was crisp, the sea was still as beautiful and wide as it is today, and Shen Shi's mood became very happy after he advanced to a high level of Qi Refining Realm.

However, because before him, there were already 24 people who were one step ahead of him and advanced to the high level of Qi Refining Realm, so Shen Shi didn't feel that there was anything special about his talent in cultivation, even if he had once heard Xu Yanzhi and Zeng Zhibai When the two senior brothers and sisters were chatting, they said that in the past, among the new disciples who could cultivate to the high-level realm in the fourth year, there were usually only five or six people, but the facts in front of them were clearer than anything else. It is indeed a ridiculous question to think about whether you are different in front of faster peers.

But even so, he is still very happy. After Daoxing broke through to the high-level Qi Refining Realm, the spiritual power accumulated in his whole body has been doubled compared with that in the middle-level realm. He still has the same amount of spiritual power hidden in the mysterious acupoint between the eyebrows, which has also doubled.

The vigorous growth of spiritual power has brought several direct benefits. One is that his physical body has become stronger and stronger under the continuous tempering of spiritual power. Hand-to-hand combat; and the other most obvious benefit is the five-element technique he practiced.

A year ago, the mass of condensed spiritual power in his eyebrow acupoint was enough to support him to cast three first-order five-element spells and water archery. Under the state, Shen Shi can continuously cast six first-level spells in one battle.But other than that, the power and casting speed of the Five Elements spells are the same as before, and they haven't become stronger or faster with the improvement of his realm.

But a year ago, Shen Shi bit the bullet and owed a large amount of debt. The talisman magical powers he learned from Zhang Yihui from the Five Elements Palace finally ushered in the harvest time at this time.

Also because of the mysterious spell of clearing the heart, Shen Shi's control over the five elements is far more handy and meticulous than ordinary monks. On the talisman, he also benefited a lot.

After Shen Shi practiced quietly for a period of time, Shen Shi quickly crossed the pass from unfamiliarity to proficiency in making talismans.When ordinary talisman masters make talismans, half of the finished product will often be abruptly lost in the last process of imbuing spirits. That is to say, even a skilled talisman master will have nearly half of the finished product when making five-element magic talismans. There is a [-]% chance of failure, which is also an important reason why the prices of talismans in many shops in Hongmeng Realm are always high.From another perspective, Zhang Yihui asked Shen Shi to give him five finished talismans every month, which was indeed a valuable and heavy debt.

However, one month after Shen Shi practiced talismans, his success rate in making talismans reached [-]% by far surpassing ordinary people's extremely fine control of the five elements, and after two months, he had already reached [-]%. high success rate.As for the current high-level Qi refining state a year later, the spiritual power in the acupoint between his eyebrows is becoming more and more solid, and the control of the five elements is also becoming more and more handy. He hasn't even missed a shot in months.

If this news spreads, countless people will definitely be stunned. Shen Shi has been a beginner for several years, and his understanding of the cultivation of immortals, including the world of cultivation, is far from the ignorant and curious boy in Xilu City of Yinzhou in the past, so he This has been carefully kept a secret.In addition to his strict and careful surname, the origin of this heart-cleaning mantra is also somewhat difficult to tell outsiders.

When Gan Ze went to Yao Island on the same boat with him, he once mentioned to him what the Elder Pu who presides over the Lingxiao Zongshu Hall once said, the five elements and the talismans complement each other. If you have the ability to master the two Proper, the benefits obtained should not be underestimated.The speaker was joking, but the listener has already felt it deeply and deeply after one year.

A pre-imbued talisman can be activated in actual combat with only [-]% of the spiritual power required to cast a spell, but with Shen Shi's ability comparable to the casting speed of a monk in the Condensation Realm, he can cast a water arrow The technique also takes three breaths, but when using the talisman, he only needs one breath.

One breath, the time between just one breath, is as fast as if you just blinked an eye.

The spiritual power in his brow hole is enough for him to cast six first-level spells, and if he uses the talisman, without considering the consumption and cost of the talisman, Shen Shi can cast a full three spells before the spiritual power is exhausted. Ten first-order five-element spells...

There are a total of thirty five-element spells that can be cast in just one breath!

Shen Shi has been practicing very quietly, and has not done anything particularly eye-catching on Herring Island, but in his heart, he already has a faint sense of self-confidence, although he is only No. 20 among this group of new disciples Five disciples who have cultivated to a high level of Qi Refining Realm, but if they face the more than 20 people in front of them in actual combat, or even Gan Ze, who is known as the most talented person in the past 500 years of Ling Xiaozong, Shen Shi is confident that he will have the same strength. Fight, and even have the possibility of victory.

※※※

This year, Shen Shi was 16 years old.

Compared with a year ago, his figure has grown a little taller, and the childishness of a boy on his face is less and less, and more mature.Among the friends around him, a few girls also bloomed more and more with age, and gradually reached the most beautiful time of blooming like flowers, looking around, full of youthful breath.

Both Zhong Qingzhu and He Xiaomei are becoming more and more beautiful. Even Zhong Qinglu, who was slightly fat before, has become a bit slimmer as her stature has grown, and the baby fat on her cheeks has also quietly receded, revealing a bit of radiance. The charming eyes are impressive.

In terms of cultivation, everyone's progress is different. Of course, the most unexpected one is Zhong Qingzhu. She is the most indifferent among all the new disciples except Gan Ze. A disciple who has cultivated to a high level of Qi Refining Realm shocked many people, and also attracted the private attention of many seniors in the sect.

Except for Zhong Qingzhu, Sun You and Zhong Qinglu's cultivation speeds are a bit slower than Shen Shi's, but their talents are not bad, and they both reached the high level of Qi Refining within one month after Shen Shi. He Xiaomei has taken a step forward, and now he is at the middle level of the Qi Refining Realm. It seems that there is still a gap in talent, but Jiang Hongguang, who has always been very close to He Xiaomei, quietly surpassed two Even though he was three months behind Shen Shi and the others in terms of time, he barely squeezed into the high-level circle in the fourth year, and he could pay attention to cultivation for Ling Xiaozong.

In this way, everyone has their own luck and luck, and their practice is different, but everyone's eyes are fixed on the last and most critical year.

In the fifth year, whether one can step into the Yuan Condensation Realm is the key to whether one will be a fairy or a mortal in the future, and the status will be very different.

Shen Shi's mood is the same, he still cares very much about whether he can break through to the Yuan Condensation Realm in the fifth year, what will happen in the future, including what attitude and mood he will use to see his missing father again in the future, all depends on this one Year.

But at the moment, Shen Shi finds that the most troublesome thing for him is the crystal clear, shiny little stone...

After Dao Xing breaks through to the high level of Qi Refining Realm, there are many benefits, but at the same time, there are also some side effects, that is, when he is practicing, the amount of spirit crystal spiritual power he consumes every time he leads the spirit into the body doubles again .A good and normal spirit crystal, on the premise of practicing once a day, can be used for twenty days by the first-level disciples of the Qi-refining realm, ten days by the middle-level disciples of the Qi-refining realm, and when it reaches the high-level Qi-refining realm, Because the absorbed spiritual power has greatly increased, it can only be used for five days at most.

And Shen Shi's consumption is twice that of ordinary people...

At the same time, Zhong Qinglu had already gained a great reputation in the alchemy hall, and even the high-ranking Elder Yun Niyun who presided over the alchemy hall on Jinhong Mountain already knew Zhong Qinglu's name.Now Zhong Qinglu was already proficient at refining Qi Yang Pill, with few mistakes, so before March, Zhong Qinglu was the first among all the new disciples to obtain another kind of elixir "Peiyuan Pill" prescription from Dantang.

For alchemists, the refining of each new spirit pill is a long process from scratch, from unfamiliarity to familiarity. During this process, a lot of hard work is spent, all of which are stacked with spirit crystals.

The original transaction or gambling is still a secret between Shen Shi and Zhong Qinglu, and this agreement has brought great benefits to both of them through their unexpected persistence and compliance.Now, they are invariably ready to let the deal continue.

Except for one thing that makes Shen Shi a little guilty and stressed, that is, Peiyuan Pill is a second-grade elixir that is one level higher than Yangqi Pill, and it requires as many as nine kinds of spiritual materials, and the cost of the spiritual materials required for a complete batch of alchemy , up to [-] spirit crystals, eight times that of Yangqi Pill.
