Chapter 21 On Lingzhou Lake, demonic cultivators attack
Although this is not as good as Chen Nianzhi's celestial appearance when he started practicing at the age of three, it is much better than most monks who can only start practicing after the age of eleven or twelve.
Practicing peacefully like this, more than four months have passed in the blink of an eye.
"Huh."
At the end of the day's practice, Chen Nianzhi slowly exhaled a breath of mist.
Feeling that his true energy had increased, he immediately showed a bit of joy.
After a monk breaks through the ninth level of Qi training, it does not mean that he can build the foundation immediately. Instead, he needs to polish his own Qi more.
The so-called foundation building is to continuously compress the true energy and finally convert it into liquid true essence, thereby producing a qualitative change and completing the transition of life levels.
In this process, the amount of infuriating energy required is very large.
Generally, qi-training monks will cultivate their own true qi to the point where their muscles and veins are full, and then continue to polish it to condense the true qi to the limit that their muscles and veins can withstand.
In addition, the muscles and meridians must be tempered with true energy to ensure that the strength of the meridians is tempered to the limit before foundation building begins. This process often requires nearly ten years of polishing time.
Even so, without the help of the Foundation Establishment Pill, the success rate of Foundation Establishment is only 10%. Once the condensation of true energy fails, the muscles and veins in the whole body will be exploded by the true energy, and the muscles and veins will be severed and you will die.
The reason why Sixth Elder Chen Qingmeng died after failing to build the foundation was because he fell at this critical step.
The function of the Foundation Establishment Pill is to make the true energy gentler and double the strength of the tendons in a short period of time.
It is precisely because of this that monks who use the Foundation Establishment Pill to break through will only be seriously injured even if the breakthrough fails, and will not be in danger of falling.
Chen Nianzhi's physical body has the roots and feet enhanced by Hongmeng Purple Qi, and he has tempered his muscles and veins with Zhenqi and Hongmeng Purple Qi since he was a child. Therefore, his muscles and veins are much wider than those of ordinary Qi-training monks, and the toughness and strength of the veins are also far superior to those of ordinary Qi-training monks.
Peak monk.
According to his estimate, as long as he is nourished with Hongmeng Purple Qi for a few more years, the strength of his veins will be more than double that of ordinary people. By then, the certainty of breaking through the foundation building will be several hundred percent higher, which is almost equivalent to taking a dose of
A foundation-building pill.
"My veins are wide and can hold more than 30% to 40% more energy than monks of the same level. This can also increase the confidence of foundation building by 10% or 20%."
"So next, as long as we work steadily, accumulate Qi with spiritual peaches, and polish it for a few years, I'm afraid I'll be 50-60% sure of building the foundation."
Chen Nianzhi happily thought that with his background, if he could get another Foundation Establishment Pill, he would be almost certain to break through the Foundation Establishment Pill.
In a good mood, he finished his spiritual practice and walked out of the wooden house to take care of the spiritual fish and purple-striped geese as usual. He just took a few steps and found that the spiritual peaches on the spiritual peach tree were almost ripe.
The joy of an upcoming harvest rushed into his heart, which made him feel very good.
"There seem to be a little more spiritual peaches this year than in previous years."
Chen Nianzhi looked at the peach tree and raised his eyebrows slightly.
It seems that due to the Hongmeng Purple Qi, the roots and feet of the spiritual peach tree have changed, and the number of spiritual peaches is increasing year by year.
There were still fifty-six spiritual peaches in the first year, sixty in the second year, and this year there were more than seventy green fruits.
This has almost reached the limit of the first-order low-grade spiritual peach tree, and one step further will break through to the first-order mid-grade.
"This spiritual peach tree has not broken through the heel limit, can it advance with age?"
"If this is the case, according to the trend, if we wait another one or two years, it will reach the first-level mid-level."
Chen Nianzhi thought with some joy that a first-level middle-grade spiritual peach tree would produce twice as many spiritual peaches every year as a lower-grade spiritual peach tree, usually around a hundred.
"..."
On this day, at the edge of Lingzhou Lake, three monks, one woman and two men, looked at the island in the middle of the lake in the distance.
One of the middle-aged and beautiful women who still retains their charm looked at the scenery here and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"I didn't expect that the Chen family actually owns a spiritual lake with such beautiful scenery."
"What a wonderful thing it would be if I could occupy this dojo and practice here for the rest of my life."
As soon as the woman finished speaking, another skinny old monk shook his head: "This Lingzhou Lake is the territory of the Chen family. It's a fool's errand to take over it with your level of cultivation."
"The Chen family's unique specialty, the green spirit fish, is probably raised here, right?"
"If we can catch them all in one go, there will be no shortage of spiritual resources for the next ten years or so."
"Okay, okay, don't patronize the dojo spiritual fish, business is more important."
The third person suddenly said, this person is a burly gray-robed monk.
He looked at the island in the middle of the lake solemnly, and after a while he said in deep thought.
"According to the information we investigated, the person who killed junior brother is in Lingzhou Lake."
"Now that Master has ordered us to come and take revenge, we must not slack off."
It turns out that these people are all disciples of Zhang Lao Mo. They came here to find Chen Nianzhi and avenge the descendants of Zhang Lao Mo who made a blood sacrifice in Pingyuan Town.
When she thought of the goal of this trip, the beautiful middle-aged woman's complexion changed and she cursed angrily with dissatisfaction.
"The old devil is afraid of Chen Changxuan, so he doesn't dare to come. Instead, he wants us to risk our lives."
"Then Chen Nianzhi is a ninth-level qi-training monk, and he is protected by formations. If we come here, aren't we going to die?"
Demonic cultivators never talk about family ties. They do whatever it takes to get their own interests. Fathers and sons kill each other, and there are many examples of masters and disciples turning against each other.
The skinny old man didn't care about the woman scolding Mr. Zhang in front of her face. Instead, he shook his head and said with a cold expression:
"We all have the Evil Ghost Heart-Eating Curse left by Old Demon Zhang. If you obey the order, you still have a chance to survive. If you don't obey, you will end up with the Evil Ghost Heart-Eating Curse. You still want to resist."
The burly demon cultivator is the only one among the three who is at the ninth level of Qi training. His strength is the first among the three. He does not look good, but he still speaks confidently.
"Before this trip, Master gave me a Six Ghost Talisman, which I think is enough to cope with the formation here."
"When the time comes when the three of us are in the advanced stage of Qi training, we won't believe that we can't defeat just one of him."
"It's going to be a long night and a lot of dreams, so let's do it now."
Several demon cultivators made a decision and immediately took a lone boat to ride the waves and paddle towards the island in the middle of the lake.
Unfortunately, they were unlucky. They were just halfway through when they were spotted by Chen Nianzhi, the counting spirit fish.
"No, it's a demon cultivator."
Chen Nianzhi's pupils shrank. The demonic aura on the demonic cultivator was so obvious that he recognized it at a glance. He immediately returned to the island in the middle of the lake and activated the protective formation.
Yunwudou emitted a thick layer of clouds and mist, covering the entire island in the middle of the lake.
"Damn."
The expressions of the three demon cultivators immediately changed. The burly demon cultivator gritted his teeth and said decisively.
"I can't care so much anymore, just go in."
Several demons entered the clouds and mist, but were obscured by the clouds and mist, and their eyes could not reach more than a foot away.
As soon as the skinny old devil saw this scene, he felt bad and shouted quickly: "This fog can cut off spiritual consciousness and eyesight. Even we can't see through it. We will be broken one by one. We must not leave for more than 10 seconds."
