Spiritual power comes from the world.

Creatures born between heaven and earth are nourished by heaven and earth, and are also controlled by heaven and earth. It is as if every life has an invisible "yoke" given by heaven and earth from the moment it is born.

Because of this basic relationship, the "peace" between the practitioner and the spiritual power is very deep, and the results are both pros and cons.

On the plus side, this creates a ladder for practitioners to move up step by step and continue to grow.

The more spiritual power is absorbed and refined, the higher the quality, and the invisible "shackles" around the body will become looser and looser.

As a result, life continues to grow, its strength becomes stronger, and its lifespan becomes longer and longer.

These are all advantages, but they also bring "disadvantages".

Its biggest disadvantage is that the life level of the practitioner is tightly bound to the upper limit of the spiritual power that can be called upon.

For example, the spiritual power that a Qi Practitioner can use is basically limited to the first level;

The spiritual power that a foundation-building monk can call upon is basically within the second-level category;

The spiritual power that Danjie monks can mobilize is basically limited to the third level.

Of course, this restriction is not absolute. For example, some special talismans, talisman treasures made at great cost by the alchemy monks, or spirit puppets that can act independently... These can circumvent this restriction to a certain extent.

But it's still very troublesome.

This is also the reason why Meng Zhou values ​​​​the Fanlu Star Lotus clone so much.

Because in theory, as long as there are more clones of Fanlu Star Lotus, the upper limit of the star power he can call will be greater.

Upper limit?

Theoretically there is no upper limit.

Of course, on the one hand, it is impossible for Meng Zhou to have "unlimited" Qinglian Life Spiritual Essence;

On the other hand, even if we can increase the number of Dew Star Lotus clones and expand the scale of the clone formation, the pressure brought about by continuous purification and continuous improvement in quality will be continuously shared and diluted.

But Fanlu Xinglian's clone is only a third-level top-grade clone after all.

The pressure released by the improvement of star power quality does not increase linearly, but increases exponentially.

Under the premise that the number of Dew Star Lotus clones will only increase linearly according to the birth rate of Qinglian's spiritual marrow, the quality of the star power that can be supported by the third-level ultimate Dew Star Lotus clone as the cornerstone will still be affected by objective reality.

restrictions.

It's impossible to be truly "unlimited".

But this is enough.

At least, this provides Meng Zhou, who is at the eighth level of the Dan Formation, with a relatively simple and easy-to-implement method of calling on the fourth-level power.

After gaining such confidence, the pressure brought by Yuanying monk on him suddenly weakened a lot.

After realizing the most basic fourth-order star power call through five Dew Star Lotus clones, Meng Zhou began to design a "Clone Array" with more Dew Star Lotus clones to participate in, a larger scale, and more complex functions.

If there are six clones of the Star Lotus, how should the formation be arranged?

If the clones continue to increase, what about nine? What about twelve?

What if the number of Dew Star Lotus clones continues to increase, thirty-six, forty-nine, eighty-one... or even one hundred and eight?

With the blessing of the transparent Taoist body and the help of the profound Tao of Talisman, Meng Zhou felt that his thinking was more active than ever before.

When the number of Dew Star Lotus clones did not exceed the number of fingers on both hands, he had a complete and detailed "formation plan" for each new formation almost the moment he remembered it.

Moreover, there is more than one, each with its own tendencies.

Some formations take the shortest time and are most efficient; some display the greatest power... and so on.

But when the number of Dew Star Lotus clones increased to double digits, the "formation diagram" began to become complicated.

When he started to think, the Linglian clones flickered and jumped in his mind, like the Yi Ma Xin Yuan that was getting harder and harder to subjugate.

Every time he "subdued" someone, Meng Zhou could feel the huge drain on his mental energy.

More and more time is consumed.

Considering that the timing was not right, Meng Zhou decisively stopped going deeper and temporarily fixed the "Clone Formation" at the "Nine Clone Formation" level.

Therefore, Meng Zhou cultivated four more clones of the Star Lotus.

Due to the previous continuous consumption, there are only 147 drops of the third-level middle-grade Qinglian Life Essence left.

In order to cultivate these four Dew Star Lotus clones, Meng Zhou consumed 177 drops of the third-order high-grade Green Lotus Life Essence after consuming all the third-level mid-grade Green Lotus Life Essence Essence.

In this way, after consuming all the third-level mid-grade Green Lotus Life Spirit Essence, and adding 177 drops of the third-level high-grade Green Lotus Life Spirit Essence, Meng Zhou obtained one Ice Lotus clone and nine Star Lotus clones.

, and a gold-pink double-peduncled lotus.

After doing all this, three days have passed.

Then, Meng Zhou spent another ten days completing the first retreat of the new year.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, late at night.

[Cultivation progress +300, eight levels of elixir formation 1625/10,000;

The true picture of Hanhai Mingyue +080,000, Master 680,000/160,000]

After coming out of seclusion, Meng Zhou thought about his next plan.

At this moment, there is still more than half a month before the agreed time.

Meng Zhou also continued to refine the first thought that came to his mind after learning about the changes in the Xingxiu Palace.

Meng Zhou spent several days thinking carefully and over and over in his mind.

Then, with a thought, he summoned Bai Zhi, who was sleeping in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Bai Zhi, who was lying on the stone couch next to Meng Zhou, opened her eyes and woke up. When she just woke up, she looked at her surroundings and was a little confused at first. However, after seeing Meng Zhou, she suddenly became enlightened.

"How long did I sleep again this time?" Bai Zhi asked.

Meng Zhou smiled and said, "It's not too long."

Then, Meng Zhou told her some important information.

Meng Zhou did not hide the news from Bai Zhi that the Nascent Soul might have been born in Xingxiu Palace and was about to re-emerge.

However, while sharing this information with her, Meng Zhou also paid careful attention to the changes in Bai Zhi's expression.

After hearing this information, Bai Zhi was a little shocked at first, and then turned to worry.

In her perception, although she was a "remnant of the Yan family" and could barely be related to the Xingxiu Palace, she had never put herself in the role of a "close member of the Xingxiu Palace".

With a worried look on her face, she asked a question that shocked Meng Zhou.

She looked around and said, "So, we can't stay with Qi Yunfeng for much longer?"

"Ah?" Meng Zhou was a little surprised that this was the issue she was most concerned about, but she still nodded and said, "Well, yes."

Bai Zhi sighed and asked: "Then...where will our next destination be?"

Meng Zhou shook his head and said: "It's not decided yet... What do you think?"

Bai Zhi shook her head, "I don't have any objections, just make up your mind. I just hope that I can stay as long as possible in my next destination."

At this point, she couldn't help but sigh again, as if she was feeling a little emotional about her "displacement" over the years.

From her perspective, she should have such emotion.

They thought that after being with this "destined man", they could live leisurely and practice comfortably, but how many times have they moved in just a few years?

Sanchuan Plateau, Aurora Cave, Qiyun Peak...

Now, Qi Yunfeng has not been here for a long time, but his new home has not yet been found.

It is simply more "unfixed" than when I was alone with an apprentice.

Meng Zhou smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll try my best."

When Bai Zhi saw this, a slight smile appeared on her face at first, but soon she shook her head and said:

"I just said it casually, but please don't take it seriously... Now is not the time to think about whether you have a family or not. The most important thing is not to let Xingxiu Palace catch you."

Speaking of this, she seemed to have thought of something, and asked with a worried look: "If Xingxiu Palace returns to Qingxuan Territory, there will be great turmoil in the cultivation world, right?"

Meng Zhou already knew what she was worried about and asked: "Are you worried about Zhu Qian?"

Bai Zhi nodded and said, "Yeah."

Meng Zhou comforted him and said:

"Don't worry, the spiritual practice world may experience some turmoil, but Xingxiu Palace is not a demonic sect, and it is impossible to launch a purge against the entire spiritual practice world.

I estimate that even if Xingxiu Palace is resentful, at most it will only limit the scope of its attack to the top five sects.

Otherwise, what is the difference between it and the devil?"

When making this judgment, Meng Zhou added in his mind that in addition to the top leaders of the five sects, he should also include the top leaders of the "Qihuang Sect" where he belongs and the professional association with which he is deeply related.

Because he knew very well how deep the relationship between himself and the person behind Yan Zhuang was.

In the face of this "hate that blocks the road", even the five sects together do not have as much hatred as themselves.
