Two seconds later, the world returned to normal, and Zhao Sheng instantly "fell" out of the time-stop state.
So amazing, so wonderful!
It was only two seconds, but Zhao Sheng felt that the whole process lasted at least a minute.
Two seconds vs one minute!
In a sense, it means that the flow of time has slowed down a full thirty times.
what does that mean?
Zhao Sheng didn't think it through completely for a while, but he knew that no matter where in the world, any ability or talent involving time was rare in the world.
With one yellow level draw, you got the talent bullet time.
I have to say, he made a fortune this time!
After testing his new talent, Zhao Sheng calmed down and started practicing for the first time in his life.
In the quiet room, Zhao Sheng sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and concentrated, and his spirit quickly entered a state of emptiness.
It seemed like a long time passed, and it seemed like an instant.
In the darkness around Zhao Sheng's body, dense and colorful spiritual energy particles suddenly appeared.
Some are as red as fire, some are as green as wood, some are as black as abyss, some are as bright as gold, some are as gray as earth, some are as white as ice, as blue as electricity, and as green as wind.
Zhao Sheng was overjoyed when he saw this scene. He knew that the first step of sensing the spiritual energy was successful. The next step was to use the spiritual cultivation technique to stimulate the spiritual vortex in the Dantian, inhale the surrounding spiritual energy particles, and then start to refine and fuse them.
The spiritual nourishing technique that Zhao Sheng practiced is called "Caiyun Chasing the Moon". The god is the moon, and the spiritual energy turns into clouds. It is called Caiyun Chasing the Moon, but actually the moon moves and the clouds follow.
To put it simply, it is to use the spirit of consciousness (the prototype of spiritual consciousness) to stimulate the spiritual power vortex, suck the spiritual energy particles into the vortex, refine and fuse the spiritual energy of the same attribute through the vortex, and eliminate "impurities" at the same time, and finally achieve the purpose of strengthening spiritual power.
The entire cultivation process can be described in eight words: "refining the mind and refining the qi, removing the waste and retaining the essence."
Why do immortal cultivators cultivate faster when they have fewer spiritual roots?
This involves "removing the impurities and retaining the essence", which in layman's terms means purifying and removing impurities.
Absorbing the same number of spiritual energy particles at the same time, the five spiritual roots will absorb five types of spiritual energy particles at the same time, but can only refine one of them, while the other four are impurities.
The single spirit root only absorbs one kind of particles, omitting the impurity removal process.
Excluding other factors, from this point of view alone, the cultivation speed of a single spiritual root is at least five times that of five spiritual roots.
This is one of the reasons why all the immortal cultivating forces regard single spiritual root cultivators as supreme treasures.
Zhao Sheng has the four spiritual roots of metal, water, earth and wood, and he practices the water movement technique Xuanling Kung Fu.
The level of Xuanling Kung is not high, and it is not a very precious technique in the world of immortal cultivation, but it is widely spread.
Many immortal cultivators regard it as their main cultivation method. They value Xuan Ling Gong for its characteristics of being upright and peaceful and not easily possessed by evil spirits. Moreover, the spiritual power cultivated is famous for its purity and purity.
However, the shortcoming of Xuanling Gong is also very obvious, that is, it is slow. Not only is the purification and fusion slow, but the cultivation speed is even slower.
But in Zhao Sheng's view, slow practice of Xuanling Kung is not a shortcoming.
Because he has plenty of time. If it doesn't work in this life, there will be another life.
In the state of mental introspection, Zhao Sheng "saw" that under the urging of his consciousness, the dark black spiritual energy vortex deep in the Dantian began to "rotate" slowly.
Waves of invisible suction force were generated, and gradually the four kinds of spiritual energy particles of metal, wood, water, and earth in the air were sucked into the vortex.
Then the three-color particles of metal, wood, and earth were "thrown out" of the body, but the water spirit was crushed bit by bit and slowly integrated into the spiritual power.
Time passed little by little, and Zhao Sheng felt that his consciousness was gradually becoming weak and weak, and there was a faint feeling of swelling and pain between his eyebrows.
As the practice continued, the swelling and pain between the eyebrows became more and more obvious, and finally it became as painful as a needle prick.
Zhao Sheng knew that this was a sign of serious mental exhaustion, and this practice should be over.
He exhaled a long breath, stopped activating the exercises, and got out of the state of emptiness.
"Ha ha!"
After waking up, Zhao Sheng opened his eyes and suddenly laughed heartily.
It was midnight, the moon was hazy, the clouds were light and the wind was gentle.
On the shore of Longli Lake, Zhao Sheng, wearing a black robe, found a big stone two people high on the shore.
He walked around the big rock and quickly dug under a angular protruding stone.
After a while, Zhao Sheng dug out a package from the three-foot-deep pit.
When he opened the package, he saw that there were more than a hundred pieces of milky-white low-grade spirit stones as big as eyeballs inside, as well as a three-inch-long bronze flying sword, three black crystals, and a small pale green arrow.
The bronze flying sword is a first-level middle-grade flying sword, which is equivalent to an ordinary first-grade high-grade magic weapon. It is worth about 750 spiritual stones.
It is Zhao Sheng's trophy, obtained from a herb collector on the fourth level of Qi Refining.
The black crystal is a first-level rare refined material called Xuanlan Crystal. One piece can be sold for dozens of low-grade spiritual stones.
The most precious thing is the small green arrow. It is a one-time self-destruction weapon and is highly poisonous and corrosive. Once it is hit by it, it will cause serious injuries even in the later stage of Qi refining, and you will die from the poison if you hesitate for a moment.
These spiritual stone magic weapon refining materials are one of the back-up tools left by Zhao Sheng in his previous life.
Now it really comes into use.
…
One month later,
In the quiet room, Zhao Sheng woke up from trance and suddenly showed an excited smile.
After a month of seclusion and hard training, he finally broke through to the second level of Qi refining.
Of course, the price was not small, as he finished six bottles of Lingyuan Pill in one go.
Six seven forty-two.
Although forty-two spiritual stones are not much, they are enough to buy a first-level low-grade magic weapon.
Ordinary casual cultivators in the early stages of Qi refining can't earn an average of fifty spirit stones a year.
Compared with the hard work of casual cultivating, Zhao Sheng is already considered a luxury.
But compared with the disciples of the sect, this is nothing.
These Lingyuan Pills were redeemed by him from the family treasury.
The Zhao family has a tribesman named Zhao Keru, who is the only alchemist of the Zhao family.
Lingyuan Dan came from his hand.
In Zhao Sheng's plan, alchemy is a skill that must be learned to cultivate immortality.
It's just that refining elixirs requires too much spiritual stone, and the current conditions don't allow it, so he plans to learn to draw talismans first.
The threshold for drawing talismans among the various arts of cultivating immortals is the lowest, as long as you have a magic brush, spiritual ink, and talisman paper.
It just so happens that his predecessor had the foundation of drawing symbols.
After coming out of the quiet room, Zhao Sheng suddenly saw his personal servant Zhao Tai, who was waiting at the door of the quiet room with an anxious look.
As soon as Zhao Sheng came out, Zhao Tai immediately shouted: "Master, it's not good! Go and have a look! The master is about to start a fight with the people in the second room."
Zhao Sheng frowned when he heard this and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, what happened?"
Zhao Tai hurriedly explained: "This morning, the second-room Zhao clan elder and the Wei family suddenly came to the door in a menacing manner and insisted on a clear explanation with us."
When Zhao Sheng heard that someone from the Wei family was coming, his brows furrowed even more.
The Lishan Wei family is a married family of the Zhao family. The family's residence, Lishan, is located two hundred miles southwest of Longli Lake. At the bottom of the mountain is a first-order high-grade spiritual vein.
The Wei family has a foundation-building monk, seven of whom are in the late stage of Qi refining. Their strength is even better than that of the current Zhao family.
Thinking of the conduct of elder Zhao Jingang, the second roommate, Zhao Sheng suddenly felt like a storm was coming.
The people coming from the Wei family are not good, and they are probably coming for the Foundation Establishment Pill, or even worse, the Zhao family.
