Cultivation: My efforts will be successful

Chapter 87: Spiritual consciousness arises, talent appears, and the seizure of the body begins

After entering the seventh level of Qi refining, the speed of Qi refining practice slowed down.

[Bishui Xuanbing Jue (4520/10000): Practice every day and you can achieve it thousands of times. 】

Even though Chen Yi has a purple-gold destiny, the meridians in the later stage of Qi refining can accommodate the exponential increase in the total amount of mana. This objective existence cannot be changed.

Before the middle stage of Qi refining, Chen Yi practiced the Great Zhoutian of Blue Water and Mysterious Ice Technique, which only took two quarters of an hour.

At present, the spiritual energy that the cave can provide every day is enough for Chen Yi to practice twice, and there is still some leftover.

At the seventh level of Qi refining, it actually takes half an hour to practice the Blue Water Black Ice Technique once.

You know, this is because Chen Yi's spiritual consciousness has reached 2 or 3 times the level of the normal peak of Qi refining, and it has accelerated the progress of cultivation.

Anyone else would have been slower.

Moreover, the amount of spiritual energy provided in the cave every day is only enough for one practice.

The demand for spiritual energy in the later stage of Qi refining is more than twice that of the sixth level of Qi refining.

Chen Yi has been concentrating on practicing [Cold Bloodline] in the past two years, and has no intention of changing the cave for the time being.

After he raises his soul to the foundation-building consciousness, he can start to solve a series of problems such as Qi refining, body refining, and elixir refining.

In the past two years, Chen Yi rarely went out, and Sun Ming, Jin Linger, and Gong Qingshui occasionally relied on Sun Ming, Jin Linger, and Gong Qingshui to convey some news to him.

Now it has been six years since Chen Yi came to Beixuanzong, and he is already 23 years old.

Back then, we went to Beixuanzong with the same batch of immortal seedlings, and a dozen of them entered the outer gate.

The fastest practitioners should be Jin Ling'er and Gong Qingshui. They came back from the old site of Snow God Sect for the first time two years ago. After Chen Yi's treatment, they broke through the seventh level of Qi refining shortly after returning.

They were the fastest among the same batch to enter the late stage of Qi refining. When they entered the seventh level of Qi refining, Gong Qingshui was 24 years old and Jin Ling'er was only 20 years old.

Because of his outstanding swordsmanship, Gong Qingshui was accepted as a disciple by the elders of the war hall. He directly broke the rules and entered the inner sect and became an inner sect disciple.

Because Jin Ling'er was very young and had great potential, in the outer sect competition at the end of the second year, she ranked among the top ten outer sect disciples and was successfully promoted to an inner sect disciple.

Inner sect disciples are eligible for higher-level resource inclines and sect skills inheritance, such as the more precious Foundation Establishment Pill, which can generally only be obtained by inner sect disciples based on their inner sect contribution.

In addition to these two people, Chen Yi also entered the seventh level of Qi Refining in a low-key manner two years ago, but he only showed the sixth level of Qi Refining.

The current level of cultivation at the sixth level of Qi refining is considered very fast among their group of immortal seedlings.

But because of the endorsement of the elixir given by Duan Wenfang, it is not eye-catching.

And other immortal seedlings in the same batch, like Lin Qing, the only middle-grade spiritual root, even with the support of his family, his cultivation is stuck at the peak of the sixth level of Qi refining at this time.

If you want to break through the threshold of the later stage of Qi refining, you must either go through life and death to polish the quality of your mana, or rely on level-breaking elixirs.

As for Zhao Yan,

Chen Yi met her once more than a year ago, and she barely entered the fifth level of Qi Refining because she was seriously injured while on a mission on the front line. Even though Chen Yi helped her heal, her potential was overstretched.

Even if there is a chance to enter the later stage of Qi refining later, there is still a 90% chance of building a foundation.

Chen Yi felt sorry for her.

A woman who longed to be a knight-errant came to the world of immortality, but she fell into the quagmire of being squeezed by the sect and was unable to move forward.

When Chen Yi met Zhao Yan, he found that she looked like a 30-year-old woman. The condition of her skin and the luster of her eyes had declined significantly.

She was overwhelmed by endless sect tasks and points pressure, and her cultivation progress was slow. She had a dilapidated low-grade magic weapon. She went out on missions all year round, and she didn't even have a magic robe on her, let alone a storage magic weapon. Yes,

Hey, it's so miserable that I feel like a casual cultivator.

Chen Yi sighed in his heart.

After seeing Chen Yi, Zhao Yan had tears in her eyes,

"Dr. Chen, I'm tired. I want to go back to Zhao's house. This place is really not suitable for me. I can't fight anymore.

I know you are not an ordinary person. This is something I found in a secret cave on the front line. It may be useful to you, or it may not be useful, so I gave it to you.

As a reward for the treatment you gave me this time,

In the future, if Dr. Chen has time to return to Beifeng County, he might come and take a look at my broken body. "

Zhao Yan left a jade plaque with a snowflake-shaped six-pointed star to Chen Yi, and then dragged her tired body away.

Within a month, Chen Yi heard that Zhao Yan voluntarily left the sect and chose to become an assistant deacon in the secular world, taking over the task of helping the sect find fairy seedlings every few years.

Regarding Zhao Yan's choice, Chen Yi could only sigh,

This is the fallback path for most mortal monks without heels.

The sect seems to be rich in cultivation resources, but every breath of spiritual energy is not so easy to absorb.

In the past two years, the battle on the front line of Beixuanzong has been intense. The monks in the middle stage of Qi Refining have been sent out almost all over the place. Even the outstanding handymen in the early stage of Qi Refining at the foot of the mountain have been sent out everywhere.

Those who want to make meritorious deeds can also apply to go to the front line. As long as they obtain corresponding merit, they will be given an exceptional pill to help them advance to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

It is said that the sect leader of Beixuan Sect also left the sect leader and went to the front line to prevent the ancestors of the other two sects from secretly committing evil acts.

In the past two years, the reputation of Ice Fairy and Sword Fairy has become more and more famous among the three sects in the North.

As long as Jin Ling'er and Gong Qingshui join forces, they are almost invincible in the battle of the Qi refining period on the battlefield of the three sects.

Foundation-building masters have their own battlefields and generally do not go beyond the level to deal with Qi-refining monks.

Of course, a genius like Er Nu must also be on the important kill list of the other two sects.

Genius, if allowed to grow, threatens to be far greater than an ordinary monk.

It's just that Beixuan Sect has already considered this, and the elders of the sect have left life-saving means for both girls.

Make sure they can stay alive and escape from the foundation attack.

On the way, Jin Ling'er returned to the sect after a long journey, came to Chen Yi's cave, and threw a storage bag to Chen Yi.

"Brother Chen, I'll give this to you as payment for the first two consultations."

Then he left in a hurry.

Chen Yi looked strange. This was the first time he had a storage bag.

It’s really just a soft meal.

A bag the size of a palm, made of unknown animal skin on the outside, with patterns carved on the inside.

The storage bag has no mana mark. After opening it, it is almost two feet square.

The accommodation space is relatively small.

But Chen Yi didn't mind it either. No matter how small the storage bag was, it was worth three digits of spiritual stones.

In the storage bag, there are several monster materials and several elixir materials. In addition, there are two jade slips.

Chen Yi took a look and found that there were actually two techniques!

[Ice God Thorn], based on the magic power of black ice, is condensed into an ice spike, which can cause the effect of freezing the body and soul.

[Snow Shadow Escape] is also an exclusive spell for ice cultivators. In an ice and snow environment, especially in a thick snow mountain, the whole body is wrapped in ice magic power, which circulates with special waves. It can be used in ice and snow environments. Medium and fast movement,

Its speed is no slower than the flying speed of Yufeng, and it is still hidden.

Either Jin Ling'er knows Chen Yi and knows what Chen Yi likes.

Both of these techniques are of some use to Chen Yi, at least unlike ordinary spells, which Chen Yi has no interest in learning.

It's just that for the latter [Snow Shadow Escape], Chen Yi has only practiced it a little bit, and he doesn't have the proficiency to practice it. He won't be able to use it for a short time. He will learn it first and talk about it later.

As for the first type [Ice God Thorn], Chen Yi was very interested. This is a relatively advanced technique.

The minimum standard for practicing it is also the peak of Qi refining, and the requirements for the ice attribute in mana are very high.

The effect is to condense into an ice spike, causing damage to the enemy's body and soul.

The ice spikes condensed during the Qi refining period are generally very large, and can only be used as ordinary ice spike spells.

The damage to the soul is limited to a slight freeze.

But in the foundation building stage, after the ice cultivator's strength increases, he can shrink the ice needles condensed from the ice god's thorns, and combine them with the power of the soul to cause strong freezing damage to the enemy's soul.

The higher your proficiency in this technique, the smaller the ice spikes will condense.

It is said in the introduction of this technique that if you reach the elixir formation stage, you can even condense the ice spikes to a state where they are invisible to the naked eye. There will be only a trace of ice attribute energy spikes with powerful spiritual attack power.

At that time, the Ice God Thorn's attack state was at its strongest.

Or Jin Ling'er knows Chen Yi well. She knows the state of mana in Chen Yi's body. Even if she can't practice the ice god thorn now, she will be able to practice it in the near future.

In fact, Chen Yi can practice now, and as long as he waits for his soul to build the foundation, he can even reach the second stage of Ice God Thorn.

Moreover, Chen Yi has a purple-gold destiny. Practicing such spells does not require a strong talent. As long as you can get started, you can continue to improve.

[Ice God Thorn (1/20000): Practice every day and you can achieve it times. 】

"nice one."

Chen Yi has one more spell that needs to be practiced, but Chen Yi doesn't have too many spells that can improve his combat effectiveness and change directions to increase his ability to save his life.

Another day passed,

[Icy Bloodline (9999/10000): Practice every day and you can achieve it thousands of times. 】

Chen Yi worked overtime to cultivate the cold bloodline to the last step.

He took out the second-level Ice Star Pill and drank it.

At the same time, he mobilized all the ice power in his body and began to flush the ancestral orifice between his eyebrows for the last time.

boom!

A magical wave was born from the inside out at the ancestral aperture between his eyebrows,

Just like a lotus flower in heaven and earth blooming for the first time,

A stream of spiritual consciousness appeared, overwhelming the surrounding environment like flowing water.

The original 80-foot spiritual consciousness coverage area quickly extended outward at this moment, far exceeding 1 mile, and did not stop until it reached a radius of nearly 2 miles.

With the foundation of spiritual consciousness established, Chen Yi's soul underwent a qualitative change at this moment.

From this moment on, Chen Yi truly developed a pair of "eyes" that could clearly see the movement of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Converge the spiritual consciousness like a tide to the center of the eyebrows, and then adjust the intensity again. The spiritual consciousness intensity in the middle stage of Qi refining is scattered on the surface as a cover, and the powerful spiritual consciousness in the elixir formation stage sweeps through. If you don't deliberately use your spiritual consciousness to go to each person one by one. On inspection, it is difficult to find any clues.

After restraining himself, Chen Yi checked the purple gold destiny deep in his soul.

At this time, the sphere of Zijin's destiny became much clearer in Chen Yi's consciousness. The small sphere was covered with extremely mysterious Taoist texts.

Just when Chen Yigang wanted to take a closer look, he felt in a trance. He quickly gathered his consciousness and knew that the thing was not something he could see now.

Concentrate on the ice-cold bloodline note,

[Cold Bloodline (10000/10000): Completed, obtained talent: Cold Divine Mind. 】

Cold spiritual thoughts, a passive talent, can keep the soul calm at any time and anywhere. It has a 50% effect bonus during the attack and defense of the soul.

Chen Yi was overjoyed. The talent of Cold Spiritual Mind did not have much impact on the coverage of his divine consciousness.

His soul stability, defense and attack capabilities have simply improved the current level to a huge level!

In other words, Chen Yi is now in the stage of spiritual consciousness building, but he has the defensive and offensive abilities of spiritual consciousness that are as strong as those in the foundation building stage!

And for some reason, he initially gave birth to spiritual consciousness, and its spiritual consciousness can cover a distance of nearly 2 miles.

This distance is equivalent to the intensity of spiritual consciousness that a monk on the second level of Foundation Establishment should possess.

Generally, for people who are new to foundation building, their spiritual consciousness can reach 1 mile, which is considered normal.

Chen Yi guessed that this may be the reason why he frantically consumed countless ice powers to wash away his soul during Qi refining, making the soul much stronger than ordinary people.

No matter how,

After Chen Xin established the foundation of his soul, he felt completely relieved.

Many things can be put on the agenda before.

[Trapped God Powder], [Ice Soul Shear], [Ice God Thorn] and a series of poisons and spells aimed at the effects of the soul have been improved and improved.

I still have the ice power in my body, so I can start to replenish it.

This time, after the icy bloodline reaches the full level, Chen Yi consumes the power of ice again, and the effect of increasing the power of the soul is very weak.

After refining these layers, Chen Yi needs to re-accumulate the power of ice to prepare for future foundation building.

Time flies by,

half year later,

Chen Yi was preparing spiritual medicinal materials in the alchemy room. He first helped Li Shuo refine the high-grade elixir, and then he practiced a batch of low-grade elixir himself.

At this time, more than half of the alchemy boys in the alchemy room have been reduced.

Those medicine boys and alchemy boys in the middle and late stages of Qi refining were also assigned the task of going to the front line. The outer disciples of the elixir hall had lighter tasks, but they still had to go once a year.

Chen Yi was protected by Duan Wenfang, who told the sect that Mr. Duan would personally teach Chen Yi some alchemy knowledge from time to time.

That's why he has never been sent to the front line.

In the past two years, Mr. Duan and Duan Wenfang have indeed passed on a lot of alchemy knowledge to Chen Yi, and they have strict requirements on the quality of Chen Yi's alchemy.

At the same time, Duan Wenfang also took Chen Yi to attend many gatherings in her circle of cultivating immortals and four arts.

This can be considered as a thorough introduction to Chen Yi.

Chen Yi guessed that she might be paving the way for what would happen next.

However, this kind of thing is a conspiracy. Within the sect, there is cultivation and promotion from the foundation master uncle, and no disciple can refuse.

Chen Yi was also happy like this,

Being able to make connections, and more importantly, being able to truly learn the knowledge of alchemy,

Old Man Duan and Duan Wenfang did not hide their secrets at all when they passed on Chen Yi's alchemy skills. Chen Yi's alchemy skills have improved by leaps and bounds in the past two years.

On this day, Chen Yi was making preparations.

Duan Wenfang hurried over,

"Let's go, Junior Brother Li, Chen Yi, the master is ready. Get on the flying boat and follow me."

Li Shuo's face lit up,

Pulling Chen Yi, he jumped onto the flying boat.

Chen Yi thought it was still the same as the ordinary teaching method, and gave instructions to the two of them on how to make elixirs.

As a result, after boarding the flying boat,

Li Shuo chatted with Duan Wenfang in a hurry,

"Senior Sister, you said you would take the Foundation Establishment Pill you refined. Does this count as the only share of the sect within a hundred years?"

"Senior sister, you said that the foundation building process can be completed in ten and a half months. At that time, should I propose marriage to you, or should the master preside over the ceremony of forming a Taoist couple between us?"

"Sister, hey hey hey."

Li Shuo was immersed in the imagination of success in life. He was a sect's alchemy genius. He used his Qi refining skills to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, and then jumped into the Foundation Establishment in one fell swoop.

And with this, among Duan Wenfang's many suitors, he won the beauty back.

It feels so good to think about it!

Duan Wenfang just nodded casually and agreed, not even bothering to smile at the right time.

Li Shuo, who was immersed in the beauty, did not notice this situation.

Chen Yi was shocked.

Is it coming so soon?

This time it was Li Shuo who was nominally going to build the foundation.

Li Shuo should be the first choice for Old Man Duan to seize the body. The father and daughter will definitely not be able to let him successfully build his foundation.

But if he was dragged along, could it be that he was acting as a substitute for the body?

Chen Yi didn't think this point through clearly.

But there is no need to think too deeply,

Chen Yi had been preparing for the matter of seizing the body for so many years and no longer had any fear.

All he needs to do is not expose his knowledge in advance and let the other two foundation builders directly kill him.

As long as he reaches the battlefield where the soul is captured, Chen Yi is sure that the opponent will never come back.

The medicine garden where Mr. Duan was located was already covered by thick fog.

After Feizhou entered, Chen Yi felt that he had at least entered a three-level formation.

"Senior sister, I'm just building a foundation, do I need to wrap it up so tightly with the formation?"

Li Shuo asked curiously.

"The most important thing to avoid when building a foundation is to disturb you. Master, arrange a few more layers of formations to not only ensure that you have sufficient spiritual energy, but also to ensure that no matter how big the movement is outside, it will not be felt inside. This is my responsibility to you." Duan Wenfang replied.

Li Shuo was overjoyed: "Master and senior sister are still the best to me!"

After entering the formation, Old Man Duan was sitting cross-legged and waiting in front of the medicine field.

Seeing Li Shuo and Chen Yi both coming, a rare smile appeared on his face.

Dark brown age spots are everywhere,

Mr. Duan's whole body was exhausted. It was obvious that his end was approaching and he would not be able to live for long.

Li Shuo's face was startled, and he took a few steps forward, crying: "Master! You?!"

“Haha, silly boy, birth, old age, sickness and death are all human beings, so don’t feel sorry for me.

Come, come, before I die, I can still watch you build the foundation without any regrets.

I will teach you what I have learned throughout my life. Come, come closer to me. "

Old Man Duan said in a bewitching voice. Li Shuo's eyes showed a hint of gray and he walked forward blankly.

He came and sat down in front of Old Man Duan,

The old man stretched out a finger with difficulty and touched Li Shuo's eyebrows.

"Good disciple, let go of your spiritual consciousness and make the resistance to the teacher's teachings smaller. The teacher will not be able to hold on for long.

Okay, that's it,

Yes, relax~"

The old man's voice gradually faded, and Li Shuo's eyes gradually turned gray.

The two of them remained motionless as if they were really passing on their skills.

Chen Yi was observing the two of them, and his spiritual consciousness was quietly sensing something.

His current spiritual consciousness is equivalent to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, which is slightly stronger than Duan Wenfang, so he can naturally avoid being aware of it by her.

"Master Nephew Chen, master and junior brother are busy, let's not be idle anymore.

Come, I will also teach you the alchemy skills. "

Duan Wenfang pulled Chen Yi and asked Chen Yi to sit in front of him.

Chen Yi was surprised: "We both want it too?"

Isn't it enough for the old man to seize the body alone? Am I just a substitute?

Am I going to be taken away too? But Duan Wenfang was obviously still very young, so why did he take it?

"Yes, this is the unique teaching method of our lineage. The core secrets of alchemy must be passed down through spiritual thoughts.

Just relax and I'll do it very quickly. "

Duan Wenfang said with a seductive voice.

"But I haven't officially become a disciple yet, so why don't I just teach you my core alchemy skills?" Chen Yi was still testing.

A hint of impatience flashed in Duan Wenfang's eyes, "You are already Master's disciple. Come on, stop dawdling."

Chen Yi took a deep look at Duan Wenfang, thinking that if I don't take action now, I won't be able to defeat you, and it will be difficult for the sect to deal with. I really don't want to take action on the battlefield of souls.

"Sister, I'm ready, come on." Chen Yi's voice was calm.

"Keke, great, I now have a young and energetic body!"

This sentence was perceived by Chen Yi at the soul level through his powerful spiritual consciousness. This was Duan Wenfang’s heartfelt voice.

At this time, she had already pointed her fingers at the center of Chen Yi's eyebrows and transmitted her spiritual thoughts.

In Chen Yi’s perception,

A gray, dark and weak soul suddenly entered Chen Yi's eyebrows, seeming to be observing something.

After it found the location of Chen Yi's soul,

With a look of surprise on his face, he rushed straight to where Chen Yi's soul was:

"Hehe, I found you, you delicious little thing~"

next moment,

The dark and weak soul is awakening through special waves. The soul-dispersed mark previously buried in Chen Yi's soul,

But I found that after it was released, there was no reaction.

She screamed:

"What's going on? You didn't get the soul-dispersing mark?!"

"Haha, the soul-dispersing mark? Are you saying that the weak soul energy on the Peiyuan Pill you gave me has been swallowed long ago."

A divine thought came,

With an icy thought that could freeze the soul, it struck in front of the dark soul, causing its movements to slow down instantly.

"Swallowed?

wrong!

You actually have spiritual thoughts, have you established the foundation of your spiritual consciousness? ! "

The gray soul seemed to be frozen, and its reaction was slower. It took a while to realize the current situation.

"Congratulations, you got the answer right, but it's a pity it's too late."

At this moment, Chen Yi suddenly let go of the hidden soul, and a light blue soul that was twice as powerful as the gray soul appeared.

With the strong oppression brought by Chen Yi's cold spiritual thoughts,

In an instant, the gray soul was shivering with cold.

"You, you, you, how come your soul is so powerful?! You are already in the middle stage of foundation building?

Does it also have icy properties? ! Who are you?

stop!

I won’t take over the body anymore. Let me withdraw. Let’s have a good talk if we have anything to say! "

Duan Wenfang felt something was wrong and wanted to withdraw his soul.

It turns out that although this body's potential has been exhausted and there is little hope of being promoted to the middle stage of construction, it can still live for a few more decades.

She still has plenty of opportunities to find the next soul-spreading seed to seize the body.

There is no need to fight hard against the abnormal strength of spiritual consciousness in the middle stage of foundation building when the unknown person in the Qi refining stage is in front of him.

"Want to leave now? Ask my ice soul scissors first."

boom--

Chen Yi's spiritual thoughts suddenly exploded, and an extremely cold breath appeared.

A pair of blue ice scissors appeared behind the dark soul at some point. Its size was twice as big as Duan Wenfang's entire soul.

This is the Ice Soul Scissor that Chen Yi started to prepare when Duan Wenfang entered his body.

When Duan Wenfang turned around in fear, the giant ice blue scissor had already cut down on her soul!

"Ah, no!"

An extremely frightening soul scream sounded.

Click—

The ice scissors pinched hard with both edges,

Duan Wenfang's soul body was broken into two halves like pieces of paper.

In just one moment, Duan Wenfang felt an indelible sharp pain in his soul.

Her thoughts also became extremely slow at this moment.

And before she could react,

The huge ice scissors were aimed at her again and cut.
