Chapter 35: The Earth Elixir

Chapter 35 Earth Spirit Pill

......

During the period when Lei Dong was in Xiaobi, he moved to the area where his disciples lived, and he was not pretentious about it. After all, if you use the cultivation room built on the spirit cave to cultivate one day earlier, you will be able to accumulate a little more strength. To cultivate immortals, you must not only fight with people, but more importantly, fight with the sky. In the limited longevity, he constantly acts against the sky, and finally achieves immortality and immortality, and dies with heaven and earth.

The effect of the spirit acupoint is very good, and with the Pei Yuan Dan, which is even better than the little Pei Yuan Dan, it makes Lei Dong's cultivation increase day by day. Every month, I would go to listen to the ancestor give a lecture for a day. In fact, the ancestor's personal disciples are far more than Lei Dong and the other three people of this year. Generally speaking, he receives three disciples every ten years. Now, this tradition, after being promoted from the ancestor to Jindan and owning a separate cave mansion, has been maintained for more than seventy years. Although he was nominally a personal disciple, the ancestor never allowed anyone who cultivated during the Qi refining period to call him Shizun. Only after reaching the foundation building period will he become the true disciple of the ancestor and be truly regarded by the ancestor as his own person.

Theoretically speaking, in seventy years, the Ancestor should have recruited more than 20 personal disciples. But so far, there are only five disciples of the Ten Thousand Ghost Ancestors, that is, the five referees who presided over this small competition. And the rest of the personal disciples are only ten people. The rest of them either fell in the middle of the path, or they were stuck in a certain layer of the Qi refining period for decades, and finally had to leave gloomily, establish a cultivator family outside, spread out their branches, and if there were descendants with good spiritual root qualifications, they would be re-recommended to the sect.

It can be seen that it is not as easy as imagined to be promoted from the Qi refining period to the foundation building period. It is conceivable that in the same session as Lei Dong, how many of them will eventually reach the foundation building period? Maybe Ding Wanyan has a relatively large certainty, and the rest, including Zuo Chao Lei Dong, all depends on luck.

Although the gas refining period is subdivided into twelve layers, each layer may encounter bottlenecks. However, the further you go, the more difficult it becomes with each promotion. In addition, every fourth floor, a relatively large bottleneck will be encountered. For example, the fourth layer is promoted to the fifth layer, the eighth layer is promoted to the ninth layer, and the twelfth layer is promoted to the first floor of the foundation building period, and the monks are stuck in these three levels with the most people.

Therefore, the first to fourth layers of the gas refining period are called the early stage of gas refining, and then they are divided into the middle and late stages.

Two and a half years, a full two and a half years have passed in a flash.

At this time, Lei Dong has been a disciple for a long time. Combined with the superior resources of his own disciples, coupled with Lei Dong's dedication to cultivation without distractions in the past two years, his cultivation has been advancing all the way, and it took him a year and a half to break through two levels in a row and reach the fifth level. After that, it took him nine months to cultivate to the peak of the fifth layer, and after three months, no matter how he cultivated, he didn't make any progress. I tried to forcibly rush through the level three times, but all of them ended in failure, and the meridian acupuncture points were somewhat damaged when rushing through the level, and they had to be recuperated for a period of time before they could be considered recovered.

There is no doubt that this is the bottleneck of the legend. Lei Dong couldn't help but smile a little wryly, in the fourth to fifth floors, where it is easier to encounter bottlenecks, it is easy to break through. But the fifth to sixth layers can't be crossed even by death. The bottleneck thing is really annoying, unpredictable, and it just comes.

After reading a lot of information and classics on bottlenecks, Lei Dong was also a little speechless, and sometimes it was possible to break through by relying on an epiphany in a battle. Sometimes, when I look at a scene, I have an epiphany. But sometimes, even after spending ten years traveling, watching countless world scenes, and fighting hundreds of times, there is still no way to break through.

However, after countless years of development in the immortal cultivation world, there have been many amazing and brilliant people among them. After countless explorations, a lot of pills have gradually been developed to increase the probability of breaking through. However, the vast majority of these pills have various risk factors, and the meridians are seriously damaged, and the cultivation is regressive. In the worst case, it is possible to even take your life into it.

And those elixirs that really have no side effects are all refined by the thousand-year-old elixir used, and with powerful effects, they push the monks to rush through the level to increase the chance of success. But because of the material, the price of such elixirs is naturally extremely expensive. Just imagine, the value of a hundred-year-old elixir is not lower than that of a hundred spirits, and the value of a thousand-year-old elixir is at least a hundred times higher.

A thousand-year-old elixir, plus some precious auxiliary materials, even if the cost price is only ten thousand souls. Suppose that material can refine ten pills, and the probability of success is a higher thirty percent. Then in the end, a pill that is beneficial and harmless to break through the bottleneck will cost three or four thousand at a cost alone.

In fact, Lei Dong had also checked the sect's elixir exchange office, and the kind of thing called the Earth Spirit Pill required a contribution value of 100,000 points per pill. I also inquired with Zhao Million, and the price of the Earth Spirit Pill in the Outer Fang City was usually between 4,000 and 6,000 Spirits, and the quantity of goods was very small. Such a value is simply sky-high for Lei Dong. But I have to admit that the reputation of the Earth Spirit Pill is good, except for the fact that the peak bottleneck of the twelfth layer of the Qi Refining Period wants to rely on the Earth Spirit Pill to build a foundation, the success rate of the rest of the layers is still very considerable. In particular, the bottleneck that Lei Dong is currently in is only five liters or six. As long as the qualifications are really not outrageous, once you have an Earth Spirit Pill, you can almost break through ten out of ten, and the remaining medicinal properties can also save a lot of cultivation time.

As for asking the ancestor to give him an earth elixir, it was simply wishful thinking. If every disciple wants to break through the bottleneck, he has to be given the Earth Spirit Pill by the Ancestor, even if he is a figure on the Jindan Avenue, he will be impoverished. The vast majority of people, when they encounter insurmountable bottlenecks, will choose to travel and strive to survive a certain coincidence.

But Lei Dong doesn't think it's a good idea, traveling, there is indeed a chance to perceive the world, and use the power of the sky to break through the bottleneck. But the problem is that it's so unreliable. Maybe go out today and get it done tomorrow. But perhaps, it will take three or five years, and what is even more tragic is that ten or eight years are not nothing.

Of course, if you go out, you must go out, there is no benefit in staying in the Ten Thousand Ghost Caves and breaking through the bottleneck, and it is not that no one has done this kind of thing, and they have been sitting for many years, trying to rush through the level one after another but failing repeatedly, and finally becoming disheartened. Lei Dong's target is obviously placed on the Earth Spirit Pill, but for the sake of the Earth Spirit Pill, he has to raise a sum of money.

Including the few spirit stones looted from Zhou Minghua's storage belt, plus the number of spirit stones he had saved over the years, was only more than eighty. As for the medium-grade spirit ghost rewarded by the ancestor, it has never been touched, and it has been sealed in a thing called the Soul Sealing Ball. But Rao is like this, and it is also far from the value of buying a pill of earth elixir.

After thinking about it, he had to hit the idea on the Soul Eater Tower again. However, for every medium-grade spirit ghost that is raised, it is necessary to absorb the soul power of about 5,000 or so Yin Spirits. According to the time when Lei Dong was arrested a few years ago, it would have taken about a month. However, the thunder movement now is many times stronger than that at the second layer of qi refining, and the speed of capture will be accelerated because of this. In less than a few months, it is more than enough capital to be able to accumulate a grain of earth spirit pill.

As for the sale of medium-grade spirit ghosts, Lei Dong at this time was not a rookie on the second layer of qi refining back then. The cultivation of the peak of the fifth layer of Qi refining, plus the three ghost pawns, although they did not have much opportunity to devour flesh and blood in these years, they also gradually grew to the peak of the fifth level. This kind of strength, although it can't be said to be the existence of sweeping the middle stage of Qi refining. But as long as it's not those who are particularly valuable and full of high-grade magic weapons. Even if he encounters an ordinary Qi refining person at the seventh or eighth level, Lei Dong will not be stunned. And in this world at the lower level of the immortal cultivation realm, the seventh or eighth layer of the Qi refining period is already a small master. As for the foundation monks, they were very few. Think about it, even the Ten Thousand Ghost Caves, including the ghost slaves, only have only six foundation building periods, so you know that there are very few foundation building period monks in this world.

Of course, caution is still the main theme of Thunder, and if you can avoid trouble, try to get into as little trouble as possible. For a small amount of money, I got a map of the jade slips within the sphere of influence of the Yin Demon Sect, and marked out all the low-level Yin and evil places among them. It is worthy of being called the place of the Yin Sha Sect, and when Lei Dong saw the dense signs, his scalp was also numb.
