As the third realm on the road to immortality, monks at the crystallization stage are already considered strong in the world of immortality.
In the Chu State, where the ceiling of combat power was at the Golden Core Stage, monks in the Crystal Stage were enough to establish a sect, respected by the royal family of Chu State, and worshiped by millions of mortals.
During the peak period of Qingshan Sect, the only crystallization monk was Lu Ping’s wife, Li Chaoge.
From the foundation-building Dzogchen impact crystallization stage, monks are required to condense the foundation-building essence in the Dantian into a crystal structure similar to the crystal of the Five Elements.
Similar to the golden elixir, it can also be called the prototype of the golden elixir. If you want to condense the golden elixir in the future, you need to condense and polish the golden elixir on the basis of crystallization.
The division of crystals naturally has its types.
Fire attribute monks compress and condense the fire attribute mana in their bodies, and finally condense it into fire attribute crystals.
The same is true for other water attributes and wood attributes.
If you have the Five Elements Crystal in hand, you can refine the power of the Five Elements in the Five Elements Crystal to assist crystallization, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort and increase the crystallization success rate by about 50%.
If you don't prepare the Five Elements Crystal and other heavenly materials and earthly treasures to pass the level, the chance of successful crystallization is about 10%.
In other words, if you hit the crystallization period ten times, you may succeed once.
Even if the pass fails, the worst result is that the foundation-building true energy will collapse, and at this time the monk's cultivation will decline.
But fortunately, this kind of foundation-building true energy collapse can be restored by itself.
It just takes a little more time and effort. It can take as short as three to five months to recover, and as long as it takes a year to recover.
Once you have enough mana and blood, you can hit the crystallization stage again.
Compared to building a foundation or even condensing a golden elixir, crystallization is the easiest.
"For my father's sake, if you want to reach the crystallization stage in one fell swoop, in the next year, before you can practice to the perfection of foundation building, you can take precautions and get one or two of the Armored Wooden Stones.
Crystal, make preparations for crystallization in advance.”
"Monks practice against the clock. If you can save the time of many retreats to crystallize, it will also be good for your future practice."
The crystal of Jiamu can satisfy Lu Yuanshan's impact crystallization.
"Father, please forgive me for speaking frankly..."
Lu Yuanshan smiled bitterly and said a little embarrassedly.
"My child naturally wants to get one or two Jiamu crystals to impact the crystallization period, which will greatly increase the chance of crystallization."
Speaking of this, Lu Yuanshan changed the subject, with a bitter look on his face, and said: "But does father know the current market price of the Five Elements Crystal?"
Lu Ping knew that this thing was very expensive, costing five to six hundred thousand spiritual stones, which was indeed not something that ordinary monks could afford.
He listened quietly to Lu Yuanshan's words.
"Although our Lingxi Prefecture is a Shuimu Prefecture and is rich in Jiamu Crystals and Renshui Crystals, even so, the prices of these two Five Elements Crystals are not cheap."
"The current market price of a Jiamu Crystal is at least one million spiritual stones."
"The price of Renshui Crystal is also about the same."
"What I'm saying is that if I can leave this sky-high price of spiritual stones for the sect, then I'd rather not rely on the crystallization of the Five Elements."
"Father, there is no need for the crystal of the Five Elements, the child must also be a crystal!"
This is Lu Yuanshan’s innermost thoughts and ambition.
After Lu Ping listened quietly, feeling that the Qingshan Sect still had insufficient spiritual stones, he also felt a little emotional. The price of the Five Elements Crystals nowadays is really expensive.
One million spiritual stones are equivalent to one hundred foundation-building pills.
If the Qingshan Sect can produce the Crystal of Five Elements on its own from spiritual veins and mineral veins in the future, it will definitely greatly enhance the economic growth of the Qingshan Sect.
Furthermore, since the sect cannot produce it on its own, it will have to think of some ways to obtain it other than purchasing spiritual stones.
For example, you can get it from treasure hunting in caves.
"There are still more than half a year, you can figure it out yourself."
Having said this, Lu Ping will not say more on this topic and will not dissuade Lu Yuanshan from using the Five Elements Crystal in the future.
It is a good thing for the eldest son to be ambitious, and he does not necessarily have to use the Five Elements Crystal to assist him as he did when he first crystallized.
There is no big risk in crystallization. Lu Yuanshan has his own plans, so let him go.
From the seventh level of foundation building to the ninth level of foundation building, the leap between two small realms should be achieved within half a year based on Lu Yuanshan's current cultivation speed and the resource support of Qingshan Sect.
The current development trend and goal of Qingshan Sect is to first try their best to train Lu Yuanshan into a crystallized monk.
The strength of Lu Changfeng, Lu Zhiwei and others also improved together.
After the father and son talked for a while about the future development trend of the Qingshan Sect, Lu Ping asked about the situation on the Xiaohan Mountain Spirit Vein.
The Xiaohan Mountain Spirit Vein is here in the Qingshan Sect, and it is mainly used to breed cloud-walking beasts. In addition, it is jointly developing the Xiaohan Mountain Spirit Vein with the Zhang family.
Since the sect wants to cultivate crystallized monks, the sect's spiritual veins must be upgraded to a level that can satisfy the crystallized monks' cultivation.
The grade of the Xiaohan Mountain Spiritual Veins is the second and upper grade.
Qinglian Mountain's spiritual veins are still being upgraded under the effect of [Three Stars - Spiritual Vein Upgrade]. The upgrade has not been completed yet, and the grade is still the second-level top grade.
However, this is only a matter of time.
[Three Stars-Spiritual Vein Improvement] will take half a year to improve the level of your spiritual veins, and the upgrade will be completed after half a year.
Therefore, after a while, the Qinglian Mountain Spiritual Veins will be able to complete the upgrade and be promoted to the third low-grade level.
After all, he can complete the upgrade of his spiritual veins before Lu Yuanshan crystallizes.
What is worth mentioning is that the small world of Shuimudongtian is a fourth-level spiritual vein.
The fourth-level spiritual vein can satisfy the cultivation of Jindan monks.
And the spiritual energy of water and wood contained in it can assist Lu Yuanshan in his practice.
There is no need for Lu Ping to worry about the Qingshan Sect's spiritual veins.
Speaking of the situation of Xiaohan Mountain's spiritual veins, Lu Yuanshan briefly informed them.
What I’m talking about specifically is the cooperative relationship with the Zhang family.
After all, Lu Ping could float over to take a closer look at the situation on Xiaohan Mountain's spiritual veins and witness the development there.
What Lu Ping is more concerned about now is the Zhang family there, how the cooperative relationship with the Qingshan Sect is, and how far it has progressed.
These are all handled by Lu Yuanshan.
"Above Xiaohan Mountain's spiritual veins, the number of monks currently in the Zhang family has reached nineteen, which is two more monks than before."
"The cultivation level of Zhang Deming, the head of the Zhang family, has now reached the eighth level of Qi training. In another year or two, he will be able to build the foundation."
Lu Yuanshan briefly explained the current strength of the Zhang family, and then mentioned the cooperative relationship between the Qingshan Sect and the Zhang family.
The two parties are currently bound by a master-servant relationship.
As a vassal family, the Zhang family was protected by the Qingshan Sect.
Of course, the Zhang family would hand over a portion of the spiritual stones to the Qingshan Sect every year as an offering. The amount of spiritual stones was not that large, only three thousand spiritual stones.
After all, the current economy of the Zhang family is not prosperous. With the support of the Qingshan Sect, they are investing and planting spiritual fields and medicinal gardens on Xiaohan Mountain, which is burning money.
These investments are still in their infancy, and it will take at least a year to earn back the capital and make profits for the Zhang family.
Lu Yuanshan is not very worried about this. The Qingshan Sect is very experienced in planting medicinal gardens and spiritual fields.
In the early years of the Qingshan Sect, due to the scarcity of spiritual stones and the problem of making ends meet, the Qingshan Sect achieved economic growth based on the expansion of spiritual fields and medicinal gardens.
