At this point, the first threshold in front of Zhao Shoushou was successfully broken. The mana that had been consumed in the battle, with the supplement of the essence, not only recovered without any weakening, but also had some obvious enhancements in quality.

This can be clearly understood through the different sounds of the meridians flowing in the Dantian. With such a difficult threshold, the rewards after breaking through will naturally be more than that.

The treasures hidden behind the Golden Gate not only incorporate the essence of the Dantian into spiritual power, but also have a trace of special aura, which represents spiritual consciousness.

In addition to the improvement of mana from foundation building to golden elixir, spiritual consciousness is also an indispensable component for a monk. This is also the second bottleneck he needs to face and overcome.

Whether it is the Qi refining period or the foundation building period, the monk's spiritual consciousness is basically stored in the Dantian in the form of wisps of mist between nothingness and reality.

Before the golden elixir can be formally condensed, it is necessary to find a new place for them to live, which is also the foundation for the development and growth of spiritual consciousness in the future during the practice process.

Monks have three dantians: the upper, middle and lower dantian. The lower dantian is where monks store their magic power. Although the middle dantian exists, its location is quite mysterious. Only some special skills can be passed down to open it. Its functions are basically the same.

The backup for placing orders in Dantian can also be used to store mana.

Unfortunately, in the world of cultivation, there are very few exercises that mark the location of the middle Dantian and how to open it. Naturally, there are not many people who can use it.

The Upper Dantian is located in the center of the mind, surrounded by many small nerves and acupuncture points. It is quite difficult to open up, but it is also the only way to condense the golden elixir.

It can be said that during the Qi refining period and the foundation building period, the growth of a monk's spiritual consciousness is very passive and basically increases with the improvement of cultivation level.

After successfully condensing the golden elixir, all the inherited techniques will basically have a manual inheritance specifically used to practice and train the spiritual consciousness. At this time, the role of the Dantian will be revealed. During the entire golden elixir period of practice, the spiritual consciousness will

Consciousness and magic power are equally important entities, and they must always move forward in tandem.

After all, the last step of breaking the elixir into a baby is the fusion of the golden elixir and spiritual consciousness. If the two are too far apart, it is impossible for the monk to be promoted to the Nascent Soul.

If the first step to attack the Golden Gate requires violent mana with infinite destructive power, the second part to open up the Dantian requires sufficient patience and endurance. This is also the most difficult step before condensing the golden elixir.

Once some uncontrolled problems arise during the development process, there is almost no room for recovery of the damage to the monks. Most of the monks who were harmed basically appeared during this process.

It can be said that the process of opening up the upper Dantian is also the place where the casualty rate among monks is highest. How could Zhao Shoushou not be a little nervous and doubtful?

The lotus pods picked just now after almost all the effort to hunt down the black dragon should have exerted their own effects in the process.

As long as the upper Dantian is successfully opened, all spiritual consciousness will enter it at once, and almost at the same time, the mana will also increase, and the transformation from liquid to solid will begin. As the saying goes, the dragon and the tiger gather together to make the storm move.

From this moment on, the road to the golden elixir is truly opened, and the monks' breakthroughs will become more and more obvious, and may even cause some obvious changes in the celestial phenomena.

There are a total of twelve mature lotus seeds in the Blue Lotus Lotus. Only one of them has a heaven-defying effect. It is quite easy to distinguish it. It stands out like a chicken among the others.

He took it out casually and crushed it between his lips and teeth. A special fragrance filled the monk's entire mouth. This special fragrance also continued to invade his mind, making people feel like floating in the air.

The feeling of ecstasy.

The spiritual power contained in this lotus seed from Birihe is completely different from the previous Tianma blood essence and body purifying liquid. Except for a small amount of spiritual power that has been refined through the meridians and integrated into the Dantian, most of it

It flowed directly upstream from the mouth, from some acupuncture points and meridians that he didn't know, and turned into little bits and pieces integrated into the entire skull, and then condensed around the upper Dantian.

Although there is some consumption in this process, it is very safe for the monks. This is also the preciousness of the lotus lotus.

Of course, Zhao Shoushou would not place all his hopes on the assistance of elixirs. After the essence was consolidated in the Dantian, all the magic power had been restored to its original state, turning into a long silk thread. According to the records in "Condensing Water Jue",

Go upstream along some small meridians.

There are almost countless large and small meridians that need to be opened along the way from the lower Dantian to the upper Dantian. You must be careful during this process to avoid any accidents or flaws.

In particular, precise control of mana requires enough patience and caution. If there is a slight change in the process, it may cause damage to these small meridians.

Under the control of Zhao Shoushou, every strand of magic power was used up, regardless of its own consumption, and little by little he tried to completely clear the blocked spiritual meridians and acupuncture points. Some pain was inevitable in the process.

However, after passing the test of body-purifying spirit liquid, his endurance capacity was greatly increased. Zhao Shoushou didn't care at all, and focused almost all his energy on controlling his magic power.

It takes a monk at least ten years from the beginning of seclusion to the time he actually successfully condenses the golden elixir. The process of opening up the elixir field takes up a full two-thirds of it, which shows how difficult it is.

Day and night alternate, spring passes and autumn comes. In the blink of an eye, a full twenty years have passed since his retreat. The cave originally opened on the stone wall of the river has fallen a lot of dust, and layers of dense moss are growing freely.

Even if a monk occasionally passes by, it is difficult to find a monk practicing in seclusion here.

This quiet time has not changed at all until the last few years. The originally rapid river flow has become gentle without widening the river channel. Occasionally, there will be an inexplicable light flashing in the river water.

, like a subtle change, unnoticeable but real.

Zhao Shoushou in the cave has still not opened his upper Dantian at this time, but his achievements are also considerable. Most of the blocked meridians and acupuncture points have been unobstructed, leaving only the last level of entry.

The second and most critical step of opening it and condensing the golden elixir is about to be completed. However, looking at the dense meridians here, I am at a loss. I don't dare to act rashly until I have clearly discerned the relationship between them.

It is precisely because of the meridians opened in previous efforts that some external changes will be caused, which is also the prerequisite for minor celestial phenomena.
