Chapter 30 The fifth level of Qi training [Hatch of petrified golden ants]
Ximen Changqing felt that the time had come to improve his cultivation. By the time this retreat ended, it would have been a year since he had broken through to the fourth level of Qi training.
And he got so many elixirs in Qingyangfang. In the eyes of the clansmen, it is inevitable to keep some secretly. With a large number of elixirs, it is reasonable to break through the fifth level of Qi training in one year.
In the eyes of the tribesmen, he frequently retreats into seclusion, which means that he is secretly refining the secret elixirs. The improvement of his cultivation level can prove the suspicions of these tribesmen.
The tribesmen's guess was naturally wrong. Ximen Changqing did not intend to take pills to practice. The spiritual energy in the Nine Heavens Space was very rich. With the assistance of the Spirit Gathering Array, the spiritual energy concentration was even greater.
Even if you don't take elixirs, your cultivation speed will not be slower. In addition, space is accelerated, so there is no need to take elixirs.
You must know that taking elixirs has the advantage of quickly improving your cultivation, but the disadvantages are also very obvious. I won’t talk about elixirs, which can be resolved slowly.
The biggest problem is that the cultivation obtained through elixirs lacks polishing and the foundation is not strong enough. The strength will be weaker than that of monks of the same level, and it is easy to be challenged by monks with lower cultivation levels.
Of course, if you take some pills that improve your cultivation in moderation, the impact on the monks will be negligible.
But those monks who have overdosed on elixirs for many years have very weak foundations. Even if they reach the ninth level of Qi training, it is not uncommon to be defeated by monks at the sixth level of Qi training.
Ximen Changqing has sufficient training time and a good training environment. He does not intend to take a single pill. Through his own hard work, he has improved his cultivation to the fifth level of Qi training.
After half a year of seclusion, Ximen Changqing successfully advanced to the fifth level of Qi training. His Dantian space further expanded, his spiritual power became more intense, and he felt that his whole body was full of strength.
In the past six months, he has practiced for more than ten hours every day, taking time to take care of the spiritual field and inject pure spiritual power into the spiritual eggs.
In order to hatch this spiritual egg, more than 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones have been invested. The vitality of the spiritual egg is getting stronger and stronger, but there is no sign of breaking the shell, which makes him very anxious.
Ximen Changqing sat cross-legged and meditated, inputting the pure spiritual power from the fifth level of Qi training into the spiritual egg, and lost a full 60% in one breath.
After that, he took out sixteen middle-grade spiritual stones with a look of reluctance and placed them in a bowl-shaped container, which was equivalent to a full 1,600 low-grade spiritual stones.
This spiritual egg is too powerful. If it were an ordinary spiritual egg, with so much spiritual power, it would have exploded into a pile of debris.
Ximen Changqing consumed 60% of his spiritual power, returned to the cave and meditated with his eyes closed. With the help of the cave's spirit gathering array, he recovered the consumed spiritual power in a few hours.
And just when Ximen Changqing returned to the cave to recover his spiritual power, the spiritual egg that had swallowed the petrified golden ant made a shattering sound, and a crack appeared in the egg shell. Then the spiritual energy in the sixteen middle-grade spiritual stones burst out.
Absorbed by these cracks, the spirit stone quickly turns into powder.
By absorbing the spiritual energy in the middle-grade spiritual stone, the egg shell cracked completely, and a three-inch-long spiritual ant crawled out.
This spirit ant's body is mainly golden and covered with black stripes. Its mouthparts and abdomen are relatively large, especially the abdomen, which takes up two-thirds of the body.
The spirit ants that had just left the egg shell looked at the environment in the space and couldn't wait to send a spiritual message to Ximen Changqing.
"It hatched. The egg of the petrified golden ant finally hatched, haha!"
Ximen Changqing happily walked out of the retreat cave and took a storage bag.
"Little one, you finally came out."
He smiled slightly, and the golden spirit ants with black stripes looked very pleasing to his eyes.
"I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry."
The spirit ant sent a spiritual message to Ximen Changqing, expressing its general meaning and its attitude was very coquettish.
It has been receiving spiritual support from Ximen Changqing for a long time, and has recognized its owner, and has long regarded him as a relative.
"It has been prepared for you a long time ago. These ores are all for you." He took out several thousand kilograms of first-grade middle-grade black iron ore from his storage bag.
The favorite food of these petrified gold ants is ore, but they cannot completely absorb the metal in the ore, absorbing at most 10%.
The remaining 90% of metals will be converted into mutated metals during the absorption process and finally excreted from the body.
For the refiner, the petrified gold ant is of great help. Letting it eat the ore is a process of refining metal.
Although the refined metal spiritual material was reduced by 10%, it became mutated metal, and mutation would increase the metal's grade by one level.
Black iron is a first-level mid-grade spiritual material, but mutated black iron is a first-level high-grade spiritual material. The value of nine kilograms of mutated black iron is naturally much greater than ten kilograms of ordinary black iron.
In the Eastern Wasteland, mutated metal is very rare, and almost no weapon refiner has seen it. Those who see it will only guess that it is formed by integrating middle-grade black iron with top-grade spiritual materials.
It becomes even more difficult to identify the magical artifact after it is refined. When there are many magical artifacts, there will be dozens of materials mixed together, making it difficult to distinguish them.
Of course, a magic weapon can also be refined from a single spiritual material.
With the help of the petrified gold ants, the refiner does not have to refine the metal ore himself, which saves a lot of time and obtains higher-grade mutant spiritual materials. It is exciting to think about it.
"Your whole body is mainly made of gold, let's call you Xiao Jin from now on!" Ximen Changqing conveyed a spiritual message.
"Well, I'm Xiao Jin." Xiao Jin quickly responded with his spiritual consciousness, and then he hurriedly devoured the ore.
"Take it easy, don't break it."
Looking at Xiao Jin's eating appearance, Ximen Changqing was slightly worried. If a guy with such a small body was exhausted, he would be heartbroken to death.
In order to hatch this thing, he spent more than 10,000 spiritual stones and a lot of his own spiritual energy. The more he paid, the more he was afraid of losing it.
Xiao Jin paused for a moment in confusion, and then continued to feast. The ore it swallowed was several times larger than its body. I really couldn't figure out where the swallowed ore went.
With Xiao Jin in charge of refining the ore, Ximen Changqing was not in a hurry to refine weapons. He took out the Heaven-breaking Jue and began to practice more difficult magical powers.
The previously learned spells, Fireball, Golden Shield, and Earth Wall, have all reached the level of minor achievement, and the Wood and Vine, Water Arrow, and Earth Thorn techniques have reached the level of proficiency.
Earth escape, wind blade, thunder spear, ice cone, and cloud and mist techniques have all entered the proficient state.
At this time, Ximen Changqing planned to practice the Earth Prison Technique, the Wooden Cage Technique, and the Golden Tower Technique. These three spells were all used to trap enemies.
In many cases, spells are more useful than attack and defense spells, and are naturally more difficult to practice.
The Earth Prison Technique is released in a square shape, which is equivalent to six Earth Wall Techniques combined together to trap the enemy in the middle.
The wooden cage technique is circular, with countless wooden vines twisting and twisting to form a closed cage, making it difficult for the enemy trapped in it to escape smoothly, and the only way is to break the wooden cage.
The Golden Tower Technique is a hexagonal golden tower, which has a good effect of trapping enemies and has a certain suppressive effect, allowing the trapped monks to feel the pressure from above their heads.
Half a year later, Ximen Changqing finally practiced the three spells to the entry-level level, and his cultivation level also improved further.
In the past six months, Xiao Jin has eaten a lot of ore, and his body has grown to more than a foot long. He also laid an egg and hatched a three-inch-long spirit ant. If you like the Ximen Immortal Clan, please collect it: (www.sodu777.
