Chapter 192: Body refining and advancement, distraction and soul separation(1/4)
"The ever-changing spirit body, the white lotus spirit body, the natural sword body, their complements are constantly absorbing the true forms of skills with high compatibility."
"The completion and perfection of the transparent Taoist body is not like this, but the continuous use and in-depth exploration of the Taoist ability itself."
Based on the actual situation, Meng Zhou further clarified its scope.
"Research, invent, create, explore new paths."
"The transparent Taoist body is like a weapon. Only through constant use will it be continuously sharpened and become more and more sharp."
…
Early August.
Deeply in concentration, Meng Zhou's consciousness is like the way of heaven, overlooking the various forces in the body, with the three poles of essence, energy and spirit as the core, performing a cycle of heaven and earth.
In the previous several practices, the mana on the Qi refining side played the role of "leading the way".
But this time, as Meng Zhou upgraded the physical training method Black Turtle Carrying the Monument to a veritable third-level skill, everything seemed different.
The power on the body refining side has gradually gone from being a force that needs to be supported to being on par with the energy refining mana, jointly supporting the power related to the sea of consciousness and soul to run forward together.
The speed of the weekly cycle has therefore become much faster.
The efficiency of the "inside world" in absorbing and refining the "outer world" has also been accelerated a lot.
It should be mentioned that the "body refining power" involved in this weekly cycle does not only refer to the Qi and blood that have transformed to the third level.
The power of Qi and blood can only be regarded as a manifestation of the power of body refining.
It also includes strong muscles and bones, vitality, life potential, etc.
All these powers derived from the flesh and blood body are "body refining power".
These changes were reflected in Meng Zhou's cognition.
Even as Xuangui's true skill of bearing the monument was upgraded to the third level, the "inner world" he could see with his consciousness also participated in this three-pole cycle.
Instead of simply providing a platform, it becomes a "container".
This means that as Meng Zhou's power in all aspects transforms and sublimates from the second level to the third level, the three-pole cycle of energy, energy and spirit becomes more and more "touching the root".
When the negative energy accumulated to the limit again, Meng Zhou woke up from a deep state of trance.
Meng Zhou clearly felt that "qi" and "jing" have become more integrated. The most superficial manifestation of this is that the third-level mana and the third-level qi and blood can achieve a higher degree of integration, and can exert a plus effect.
The effect of one is greater than two.
On a deeper level, the Qi refining method and the body refining method were more deeply integrated into his life itself.
Practicing Taoism and pursuing a higher level of life seem to have become the instinct of this body.
After carefully experiencing the gains from this retreat, Meng Zhou finally ended the retreat.
…
The progress of cultivation is +315, and the first level of elixir formation is 1110/10,000.
Third-level Spring Water Sutra +2100, initial success is 6300/15,000.
Black Turtle Bearing Monument True Skill +2100, entry level 2100/7500.
…
Compared with the last retreat, the progress of cultivation this time has been significantly improved.
Based on Meng Zhou's own feelings during the retreat, he knew that this was the result of the physical training method being deeply involved in the three-pole cycle.
Before the body refining method completes the third level of transformation, relying solely on the Spring Water Sutra to support it, the cultivation progress of one retreat is 210 points.
Now, with the third-level body training method participating in the three-pole cycle, the cultivation progress of one retreat has become 315 points, an increase of 1.5 times.
This is a new change that has not appeared in the foundation building stage, which shows that his feelings are correct, and the three-pole cycle is indeed more deeply involved, and even embedded in his life.
In addition, Meng Zhou made another discovery after leaving the border.
Previously, his retreat, which started on the first day of the lunar month, would not end until noon on the sixth day of the lunar month.
But this time, it was over on the afternoon of the fifth day of the lunar month.
The retreat time has been shortened by nearly a day, but the cultivation efficiency has not decreased but increased. This is the change brought about by the transformation of the body refining method to the third level.
…
The third-level cave where Meng Zhou currently practices was built with the funds and efforts of the Sanchuan Society.
Later, after Meng Zhou moved in, except for a comprehensive modification of the battle system and some other arrangements to improve safety, the other layout remained unchanged.
President Pan also visited Meng Zhou's retreat courtyard in Zhuang Tianzhuang many times and had a good understanding of his temperament and preferences.
Therefore, in addition to a few high-standard retreat rooms and a few other houses with simple and refreshing layouts, the cave mansion, which covers an area of six acres, is full of green plants.
There is also a larger pond and an underdrain that can divert water from the pond to the cave to meet the needs of spiritual plants everywhere.
In this pond, some spiritual lotus and other aquatic spiritual plants are planted.
In a pavilion near a pond, Meng Zhou brewed himself a pot of spiritual tea after leaving customs.
At this moment, it is raining lightly in the sky, and the misty water vapor is like a layer of thin veil that surrounds the spiritual plants.
The dripping raindrops fell from the eaves of the water pavilion into the pond. Holding a cup of freshly brewed spiritual tea, Meng Zhou felt very contented.
At this moment, there was a soft sound of footsteps beside him.
"You're in such good spirits." A voice sounded from beside me.
Meng Zhou opened his eyes and saw Bai Zhi already sitting opposite, pouring himself a cup of spiritual tea.
She brought it to her mouth, smelled it, and took a sip. While enjoying it, a look of doubt appeared on her face.
"What's the matter? There's something wrong with the tea?" Meng Zhou asked.
Bai Zhi shook her head: "No, the tea is very good."
As she said that, she shook her head slightly, her expression still doubtful, and poured herself another glass.
Meng Zhou could probably understand what she was wondering about. When Zhu Qian said goodbye for the last time, he gave her a lot of spiritual tea, and she probably shared it with her teacher, Bai Zhi.
The spiritual tea he is brewing now was made recently by him.
With the improvement of cultivation, those second-level tea-making skills that had reached their peak have also entered a new and higher world.
His current tea-making ability has reached a higher level than before.
Therefore, Bai Zhi must have felt some familiar feelings after drinking it, but for a while it was not associated with the ones she had drank before, so she was a little confused.
After drinking a few drinks greedily, Bai Zhi saw "Ge Ping" and fell silent again, ignoring her as a living person.
After more than half a year of "imprisonment", open and honest communication, and the special bond between the two, she lost her initial worries and asked directly: "What are you thinking about?"
Meng Zhou said casually: "I'm thinking whether to plant two third-level spiritual tea trees."
Bai Zhi, who had been dealing with Lingzhi for many years, became interested when she heard this, and helped to provide careful advice.
She put down her tea cup and gave her own suggestions while thinking about it.
"If the third-level spiritual tea tree is cultivated directly from spiritual seeds, the day when we can drink the third-level spiritual tea will have to be at least twenty or thirty years later, right?"
"So, the best way is to find some third-level adult plants. Even if they are not completely mature spiritual plants, it is best to cultivate them to the third level in three to five years.
However, this is not easy."
Having said this, Bai Zhi couldn't help but shook her head when she thought of the difficulties involved.
There are no more than two ways to obtain this kind of spiritual plant.
Either buy it or find it.
If you want to buy it, it seems that there is almost no second choice except Qingxuanzong.
Of course Qingxuanzong has no shortage of third-level spiritual tea trees. Not to mention whether they sell it or not, they really want to sell it. This kind of spiritual tea tree that can stably produce third-level spiritual tea, it is no need to think about it. It must be a new and powerful pill-forming tea tree.
Unaffordable sky-high price.
None of the casual cultivators are well-off. "Ge Ping" has just been promoted to Jiedan, and there are many things to do. Whether it is equipping himself with third-level magic weapons or finding ways to get some minor resources to improve the efficiency of practice, it is far more important.
On top of the Nongzhuling tea tree.
As for buying a mature plant that will take three to five years to advance to the third level, the price cannot be low.
If you exclude the option of buying one, you have to find it yourself.
To find this kind of third-level spiritual plant, you can only go to the third-level evil vein.
Looking for third-level spiritual plants in the third-level evil veins is a matter of luck in itself. If you also add specific types of spiritual plants, it is basically like looking for a needle in a haystack.
What's more important is that this behavior will be very dangerous, very, very dangerous.
It's also a waste of time, a very, very waste of time.
After some thinking, Bai Zhi discovered that the best way is to find some spiritual seeds of third-level spiritual tea trees now, cultivate them with painstaking efforts, and look forward to the fragrance of tea decades from now.
Bai Zhi was thinking hard for Meng Zhou, but what Meng Zhou was thinking at the moment was not exactly the same thing as what Bai Zhi was thinking about.
Bai Zhi considered that it would take too long to cultivate third-level spiritual seeds into talents, which was not a problem for him.
There are 390 drops of White Lotus Spirit Essence and Green Lotus Sword Essence in his inventory. With the end of this retreat, he has accumulated 34 drops.
