In the spacious practice room, Liu Yu sat quietly cross-legged.
A rich cyan aura appeared on the masculine face, and the Nascent Soul spiritual pressure filled the room wantonly.
Within the body, the tenth level of Qingyang Gong is constantly operating, refining the medicinal effects and massive spiritual power emitted by Bi Ganoderma.
First, through seventy-two cycles of the physical body, the spiritual power is initially refined into mana, and then through thirty-six cycles of the Nascent Soul state, it is refined into real Nascent Soul mana.
Different realms have different requirements for the "purity" of mana, and the intensity of mana is also very different.
Therefore, as the realm improves, the number of cycles of the Great Circular of the Kung Fu will also gradually increase.
It is necessary to further eliminate the "impurities" in the spiritual power and mana during the operation of the exercise again and again, and further condense the mana.
If we talk about the Qi Refining Realm, the purity of mana essence is generally 90%, then in the Foundation Establishment Realm, it is over 95%.
The golden elixir realm is at least ninety-nine percent, and can reach as high as ninety-nine point ninety-nine.
When it reaches 99.99%, if the Golden elixir cultivator wants to further purify his magic power, it is no longer possible to rely on himself alone. He must rely on external forces, such as spiritual objects or heavenly materials and earthly treasures, etc.
As for the realm of Yuanying, through the great cycle of the Yuanying state, it can be easily purified to ten digits after the decimal point.
Compared with the Jindan realm, there is a qualitative change.
From gaseous mana to liquid mana, and then to solid mana in the golden elixir realm, there will be a qualitative change with each transformation, and the "mana intensity" that can largely represent power increases significantly.
For the same unit of mana, the power of solid mana can even exceed that of liquid mana by dozens or hundreds of times!
In the same way, the power of the Nascent Soul's mana purified by the Nascent Soul is dozens of times greater than the power of the Golden Elixir.
Of course, the specific difference will still vary from person to person, but for the same unit of mana, the power of different realms will differ by at least ten times, and can be close to a hundred times at most.
For example, the peak of the golden elixir is compared to the early stage of foundation building.
Therefore, between every major realm, there is an almost insurmountable chasm!
Throughout the history of the world of immortality, there are very few people who can defeat the superior without the help of external force.
Within Liu Yu's body, the massive amount of spiritual power released by Bi Ganoderma rapidly circulated through the heavens again and again, imprinted with divine consciousness and refined into wisps of extremely small dark cyan mana.
Although the amount and scale of spiritual power can be seen with the naked eye, its power has increased hundreds and thousands of times after being refined into Nascent Soul mana.
During the whole process, the spiritual power actually did not really decrease much, it was just compressed and condensed into higher quality Nascent Soul mana, which seemed to be reduced in size many times.
The orderly flow and operation of spiritual energy according to certain rules is called "spiritual power". The two are essentially the same thing.
The main purpose of the Great Zhoutian Cycle is to eliminate impurities in the spiritual energy as much as possible.
Let it change from disorder to order, then continue to compress and condense it to meet the requirements of the corresponding realm, and finally be branded with divine consciousness.
To a certain extent, mana can also be called spiritual power.
Liu Yu sat cross-legged, the green spiritual light on his face constantly changing, bright and dark, and his spiritual pressure also rose and fell.
In Dantian, the chubby blue Nascent Soul is making secrets with its hands, and its whole body is shining with soft blue light.
Wisps of dark blue mana, like beautiful ribbons, floated rapidly from all the meridians and merged into the six-inch Nascent Soul, completing the final thirty-six cycles.
If your spiritual consciousness is strong enough, you will find that the cyan ribbon is not a real "ribbon", but is made up of cyan crystals that are smaller than dust.
Compared with the golden elixir realm, the volume of solid mana is once again reduced by about ten times, but each unit contains more spiritual power, and the mana intensity has also increased significantly.
Below Nascent Soul, the vast sea of mana is made up of countless tiny crystals!
After thirty-six Nascent Soul cycles, "crystals" that were almost invisible to the naked eye slowly floated down to the sea of mana below.
However, this is just a drop in the bucket.
Liu Yu glanced over with his spiritual consciousness and could barely see the level of the sea of mana rising.
During the process, the growth of Nascent Soul is also very small. If you don't experience it personally, you won't be able to tell the difference with your spiritual consciousness.
As time passed, the massive spiritual energy released by Bilingzhi gradually decreased, and was completely refined in less than three hours.
"Huh~"
Slowly withdrawing his power, Liu Yu opened his eyes and exhaled heavily.
"It is indeed much faster than meditating to refine qi, but it is still far inferior to the elixir."
Feeling the extent of his cultivation, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
"Taking Ganoderma lucidum directly will only have a little more than 10% of the effect of a fourth-grade low-grade elixir."
"And compared to elixirs, elixirs contain more impurities, and it takes some time to remove them afterwards."
"Generally speaking, elixirs are still the best choice. Taking elixirs directly is not a long-term solution."
After finishing his work and standing up, Liu Yu silently concluded.
Spiritual medicines often have more than one "effect" or "characteristic". Except for the massive amount of spiritual energy and the effect that can improve cultivation, other effects are completely burdensome to monks.
This "burden" can also be regarded as "impurities".
After the elixir is refined, it still remains in the monk's body and continues to exert corresponding effects.
These medicinal effects must take time to be eliminated, otherwise they will be extremely detrimental to cultivation in the long run.
The reason why Liu Yu chose "Blue Ganoderma" was because in addition to its efficacy in improving cultivation, this drug has the least other medicinal effects and can save a lot of time in post-treatment.
The elixir directly absorbs the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to grow, and each unit of heaven and earth spiritual energy itself contains some impurities.
Qi refining and foundation building are at a low level, and the requirements for the purity of mana essence are not that high, so there won't be much trouble in the future, so there is no need to worry about this.
However, the realm of Jindan Yuanying requires extremely high purity of mana essence, and these impurities must be removed.
Compared with taking it directly, the method of refining it into elixirs is much superior.
In the process of refining the spiritual herbs into elixirs, the excess medicinal effects have been eliminated, leaving only the corresponding useful medicinal effects.
Most of the impurities in the spiritual power will also be removed, greatly saving the monks' refining time.
Moreover, the combination of the medicinal effects of many spiritual herbs and elixirs can also amplify the cultivation-improving properties of the main medicine, making the elixirs far more effective than elixirs.
However, whether elixirs or elixirs contain certain impurities, it is best not to take them continuously.
If impurities are not removed in time and accumulate to a certain extent, they may even become an obstacle to improvement in cultivation.
Although after condensing Nascent Soul, he was able to get rid of the influence of erysipelas, Liu Yu still had to pay attention to this aspect.
"The civilization of cultivating immortals has been developing for a million years or more. It is not unreasonable for the method of directly taking elixirs to be gradually eliminated~"
Liu Yu thought silently.
During this time, he had a deep understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of taking elixirs directly.
All kinds of thoughts passed away in a flash, and Liu Yu closed her eyes again.
In Dantian, the baby-fat cyan Yuanying moved and picked up the sunset golden rainbow gun floating in the lake of mana.
Immediately, he spit out a small mouthful of Yuanying's origin, landed it on the dark golden spear, and began to warm and nourish the treasure.
In this way, Liu Yu ushered in a brief period of peace, and his cultivation steadily improved at a speed far exceeding that of other True Lords.
Every few days, I take Ganoderma lucidum to practice, and then warm up the sunset golden rainbow spear, Jiugong Qingyang lantern, purple electric cloak, Youxia armor, red flame shield and other magic weapons one by one.
Maybe Tianfeng has already completed the mission, maybe it's because Liu Yu has just been promoted, maybe it's because the human-monster war has been going on so far, and the intensity has gradually decreased.
In short, the Seven-Nation Alliance has no intention of issuing orders for the time being.
Three years pass by in a blink of an eye while cultivating peacefully.
…
Three years later.
Tongtian Peak Cave Mansion, practice room.
"Huh~"
After finishing the practice, Liu Yu felt the surging magic power in his Dantian and raised the corner of his mouth with a slight smile.
Although the level of improvement in cultivation level is very small every time he practices, it is still very impressive after three years.
If the Nascent Soul realm is also divided into nine levels like the Qi refining realm, then his cultivation at this time is already a real "Nascent Soul second level"!
After all, strictly speaking, Liu Yu is not really a new Yuanying.
When conceiving a baby, taking "Yingnuo Dan", one of the three treasures of conceiving a baby, will directly increase the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul by fifty years, and in fact, it will have already left the state of the newly promoted Nascent Soul.
Coupled with the secret method of childbirth and the strong foundation of the previous realm, the speed of cultivation improvement itself is far faster than that of other True Lords, so it is not surprising that the cultivation level has progressed smoothly.
"very good."
"In this way, we will have greater confidence in this trip."
After finishing his work and standing up, Liu Yu's eyes flashed with a faint light.
If protecting True Lord Mo Mei this time went smoothly from beginning to end, he would naturally not think too much about it.
I also had some bold idea, just get the "Flying Immortal Pill" prescription safely.
But if an accident occurs, your strength will be put to use, and you may be able to gain more.
Chaos is the ladder up.
By then, Liu Yu will naturally not complete the task honestly and abide by the "Taiyi Dao Contract".
For monks at the Golden Core level and below, the Taiyi Dao Deed naturally has a strong binding force.
Once it is violated, it is not impossible that at least one will not be able to make any progress in cultivation, or at worst he will be seriously injured and die.
But for True Lord Nascent Soul, he was only slightly injured at most, and the price of breach of contract was still within an acceptable range.
It's not that Mo Mei doesn't want to find a better way and ask the "helpers" to stop thinking nonsense. There is really no better choice.
After reaching the fourth level, there are not many things in this world that can restrain the existence of the fourth level.
The so-called inner demon oath is just a joke in the eyes of True Monarch Nascent Soul.
The effect of Taiyi Dao Deed is not satisfactory. This is already Mo Mei's best choice.
"The three-year period has come and it's time to set off."
With this thought in mind, Liu Yu opened the door to the practice room, took a shower and changed into a brand new black robe.
"Whoosh~"
Not long after, a blue escaping light quietly appeared on the first level of the Gangfeng layer thousands of feet high in the sky.
…
Not intending to deal with low-level monks and not caring about any of their opinions, Liu Yu went directly from the Gangfeng layer.
The power of the first-level Gangfeng is comparable to that of a third-level low-grade spell, but now he has long ignored it.
Hold up the mana shield at will, and the strong wind blowing will be like a breeze blowing on your face.
Of course, this was done to conceal his whereabouts. Liu Yu didn't want to go out for a trip only to hear the news that the sect was attacked by an "unknown demon cultivator" when he came back.
Adjusting his direction, he flew straight towards the direction of the Alchemy Cauldron Sect, changing his appearance and breath on the way and using the teleportation array to transfer him.
In about three hours, we were already approaching the mountain gate of Danding Sect.
From a distance, in the first Gangfeng layer, Liu Yu sensed a spiritual pressure at the Nascent Soul level.
His spiritual consciousness glanced past, and about fifty miles away, a huge cyan mana shield was propped up.
The strong winds that swept across it were all excluded by the protective shield.
Dozens of strong winds fell on the huge cyan shield at the same time, but only caused slight ripples in it, which were calmed down in an instant.
In the cyan shield, a female cultivator wearing a green robe without makeup, with a hint of arrogance, stood in the air.
It is none other than the master of alchemy, Mo Mei Zhenjun.
The woman seemed to be aware of something, she sensed that a stream of Nascent Soul Spiritual Pressure was approaching, and she suddenly looked towards the direction of the Spiritual Pressure.
Liu Yu had no intention of hiding it, so he did not try his best to restrain his spiritual pressure. With his spiritual consciousness and spiritual awareness in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, he could easily detect it within fifty miles.
"Whoosh~"
Flying away with all his strength, fifty miles were covered in less than one breath.
"I've met fellow Taoist Mo Mei!"
"Liu came late and kept my Taoist friends waiting for a long time. Please forgive me."
A mile away, Liu Yu's eyes narrowed and she cupped her hands from afar.
According to the unwritten rules, he had the lowest cultivation level among the four people who agreed to assist, so he should be the first to arrive.
"The appointed time has just arrived. Fellow Taoist Qingyang is not late. It's just that I was restless, so I waited here early."
"Fellow Taoist, I understand that great righteousness provides help in times of need, and I am deeply grateful. How can I complain?"
When someone requested something from someone, True Lord Mo Mei was no longer arrogant as before, he cupped his hands and returned the favor with a smile.
Facing the threat from "Xuan Bing Palace", especially "Nangong Tian", how could she care about such details.
The four people who agreed three years ago can all be present today. Even if they are late, it is better than never.
Mo Mei was most worried that the few people who had been photographed were repulsed by the reputation of "Nangong Tian", so they were a little uneasy while practicing, so they waited here early.
"Fellow Taoist Mo Mei is too polite."
"This time when stationed in Haoyue Immortal City, Liu will go all out to live up to the trust of fellow Taoists!"
After saying a few polite words, Liu Yu said solemnly with a solemn expression.
After hearing this, Mo Mei understood it and immediately said seriously:
"Don't worry, Fellow Taoist Qingyang, as long as I am still alive after this mission, the prescription of "Flying Immortal Pill" will be given to me on the spot."
After confirming that the agreement was still valid, the two of them exchanged a few words and stopped talking if there was no topic, waiting quietly for the other three people.
After all, we are not familiar with each other, and we cannot be sure of each other's true character.
Affected by the Kung Fu, there are indeed many Yuanying old monsters who appear to be normal, but in fact have erratic temperaments.
To be on the safe side, it’s better not to have an in-depth and long conversation.
"Rumble"
The strong wind fell on the mana shield, and there were roars one after another, but there was no fluctuation in the eyes of the two people.
quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour
Half an hour passed, and suddenly another Yuanying spiritual pressure appeared. Liu Yu and Mo Mei simultaneously turned their heads and looked to the left.
In his sight, a small golden dot rushed across the Gangfeng layer, enlarging at an extremely fast speed.
"Amitabha."
"I came late and kept my two Taoist friends waiting for a long time."
In an instant, he came closer, and the golden light disappeared, revealing the figure of the old monk in the sky.
This man had his hands clasped together and was dressed low-key, somewhat like a "sweeping monk." He actually looked a bit pious like an "advanced monk."
"Master came as promised, I am very grateful!"
Mo Mei said politely.
The three of them exchanged a few words and continued to wait quietly.
But then, an hour passed in the blink of an eye, but there was still no monk arriving.
Three years ago, four people agreed to Mo Mei's invitation.
They are Liu Yu and Kong Zhao in the early stage of Yuanying, True Lord Huang Mei in the middle stage of Yuanying, and another True Lord in the middle stage.
Among the four, True Lord Huangmei is the strongest.
According to the unwritten rules, after Liu Yu and Kong Zhao arrived one after another, another mid-term True Lord should have arrived, and True Lord Huangmei was the last to arrive.
But the appointed time had come, and another hour passed in the blink of an eye, but there was no movement in all directions.
"Rumble"
The strong wind roared past and fell on the magic shield, making roaring sounds one after another.
But at this moment, listening to the roaring in his ears, Zhenjun Mo Mei felt that it was particularly noisy.
As time passed by, the smile on her face gradually became unsustainable, and her face gradually became ugly.
PS: The version has been updated, and the settings regarding the elixir have been slightly modified.
Take the elixir directly, and the effect of the elixir will be changed from 20 to 30% to 10 to 30%, lowering the lower limit.
When most of the main medicines are taken directly, they only have a little more than 10% of the effect of elixirs of the same grade, and only a few can achieve 30%.
The author thought about it carefully and felt that 20% to 30% was too exaggerated. If set like this, the elixir would appear redundant. The previous article has been revised.
