Chapter 380 The fourth level of the knot, the true picture is complete
As early as when Meng Zhou completed the production of this small white ball using the knotting method and spiritual energy as the material, a series of changes happened to him.
All kinds of insights poured into his mind like flowing water.
If Meng Zhou had not already had rich experience in this matter, a special traffic accident might have occurred in his mind.
The first change he noticed was in the skill column, where a brand new skill full of question marks appeared.
Its most eye-catching feature is that, like "Flesh and Blood Rebirth", it is also a fourth-level skill.
"Rebirth of Flesh and Blood" acted as the vanguard and took the lead in breaking through the third- to fourth-level barriers.
In addition to gaining a fourth-level pharmacist skill, Meng Zhou also gained another equally important gain.
All beginnings are hard.
On the other hand, once you get started, the subsequent steps won't be that difficult.
Meng Zhou will not be satisfied with only the fourth-level skill of "flesh and blood rebirth".
When he broke through to the ninth level of alchemy and stabilized his cultivation, Meng Zhou began to figure out the next focus of his cultivation.
Unless there is a special need, or there is a third-level skill that particularly shines for him, under normal circumstances, at this stage, he will no longer waste time and energy on practicing more third-level skills.
First, for him now, this will basically not bring any obvious addition to his strength, and it is meaningless to spend time and energy on it;
Second, although "flesh and blood rebirth" is still far away from reaching perfection, due to the lack of "materials" for cultivation, even if Meng Zhou was determined to continue working hard in this area, it would be somewhat difficult to continue;
Another and more important consideration.
For me who has reached the ninth level of pill formation, the most important task is undoubtedly to prepare for the breakthrough of Nascent Soul.
Therefore, for the next training arrangements, it is not enough to simply consider whether there is a significant improvement in strength. This cannot even be regarded as the first factor.
The core consideration should be, "Whether this is conducive to the breakthrough from elixir formation to Yuanying".
Based on this consideration, Meng Zhou made the decision to "master more fourth-level skills and try to push more professions to the fourth level before the cultivation level breaks through."
In all the inheritances and other anecdotal records that Meng Zhou came into contact with, the difficulty of forming a pill to break through the Nascent Soul was almost always described as being as difficult to cross as a natural chasm.
In comparison, the difficulty of breaking through from the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Core Formation Stage seems to be so small that it can be ignored.
Among them, Meng Zhou did not know whether there was any exaggeration.
After all, those who have real practical experience in this area are basically all in the Constellation Palace.
The authenticity of the relevant information he learned from within the five domains is highly questionable.
How much is believable and how much is exaggerated or even made up out of thin air, I am afraid even the author himself cannot tell clearly.
However, Meng Zhou still has some understandings of his own based on his past experience.
Regardless of how difficult it is for the pill to break through the Nascent Soul, Meng Zhou believes that there are two factors that must exist.
One is the practitioner's psychological fear of difficulty, and the other is the practitioner's ignorance of the Nascent Soul Realm.
The two complement each other and reinforce each other.
Because of ignorance, we are afraid of difficulties;
And because of the fear of difficulty, too many conjectures and conjectures were added to the original lack of understanding. Therefore, it becomes more and more difficult to understand the real situation of Nascent Soul Realm, and even reaches the point where people who want to understand are at a loss and unable to make a choice. This is also
In turn, it strengthens the fear of difficulties in the heart.
Under such circumstances, mastering more fourth-level skills and allowing more professions to break through the fourth level before Nascent Soul is of great practical value.
This can effectively reduce the difficulty of forming a pill to break through to the Nascent Soul.
——The ancestors of the five sects also understand this truth, which is why they pursue the "Void God Crystal" so much.
After sorting out these things, Meng Zhou naturally regarded the "Knot Master" as a breakthrough.
On the one hand, there is a good start from "flesh and blood rebirth";
On the one hand, there is a reference channel provided by the Taoist Pledge.
With these only two points of help, coupled with the excellent understanding given to him by the transparent Taoist body, and his active thinking that is not restricted by the existing thinking in this world, and can even be called "deviant", he is able to open up a new world.
Road, has a unique talent for innovative methods.
In the end, Meng Zhou successfully created a second level four skill.
After observing Bai Zhi's demonstration, Meng Zhou named this new fourth-level skill "Wanxiang Pearl".
[Introduction to Wanxiang Pearl 500/100,000]
Following the changes in the skill bar, as a steady stream of new insights poured into his mind, Meng Zhou naturally discovered.
The Knot Master, who had stayed at the third extreme level for a long time, naturally entered the fourth level.
The relevant information has changed from [Tier 3 Knot Master 10,000/10,000] to [Level 4 Knot Master 200/100,000]
The new insights that were still pouring into his mind made Meng Zhou understand that this leap from the third level to the fourth level was not just a simple "knot master".
Just like the "Spirit Master" profession actually includes "Spirit Controller", "Medicine Spirit Master", "Spirit Adjuster" and many other professions, as early as the first and second levels, Meng Zhou's knot master was not just a rope master.
Knot Master, but integrated the methods of alchemy and talisman formations under the framework of Rope Knot Master.
The reason why he was able to create the unique fourth-level skill "Wanxiang Pearl" was that Meng Zhou relied not only on his breakthroughs in knotting techniques, but also on his skills in the tools, formations, alchemy, and talismans.
Various realizations.
"Wanxiang Pearl" is a comprehensive work.
With the success of the "Wanxiang Pearl", not only the way of rope knots has entered the fourth level, but also the way of alchemy and talismans has also crossed the threshold of the third level to the fourth level.
When the turbulent flood of realization finally slowly stopped, without any change in strength, Meng Zhou discovered as soon as he opened his eyes again that the world was completely different.
Meng Zhou didn't have time to take a closer look at this "new world".
Because the changes brought about by "Wanxiang Pearl" are not over yet.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to break through the core formation, Meng Zhou obtained three incomplete Tao bodies.
They are "Transparent Dao Body", "Green Lotus Sword Body" and "Five Elements and All-Seeing Body".
Initially, although all three were incomplete, compared to the first two, the completeness of the "Five Elements and All-Existence Body" was significantly higher.
However, in terms of completing the three incomplete Tao bodies, the "Five Elements and All Forms Body" is undoubtedly the most "left out".
First, the completeness of the "Tongming Dao Body" and the "Qinglian Sword Body" came from behind, and they overtook the "Five Elements and All Symbols Body". The first two were successively completed and completely completed, but the completeness of the "Five Elements and All Symbols Body" was always stuck.
Above "99%", there has been no progress for many years.
This time, with the birth of the fourth-level "All-Xiang Bead", the "Five Elements and All-Xiang Body" finally took the final step and became completely complete.
"I don't know what changes this will bring to me."
The completion of the "Transparent Dao Body" has fully enhanced the power of the small magical powers "Transparent Dao Heart" and "Transparent Moon Mirror".
The completion of the "Green Lotus Sword Body" also brought significant changes to Meng Zhou.
Meng Zhou sorted it out carefully and felt quite disappointed.
Of course, the minor supernatural powers "Five Elements Escape" and "Wanxiang Method" have been greatly improved in power with the completion of the "Five Elements and All-Xiang Body".
But Meng Zhou didn't feel any surprise.
"Perhaps this is not a problem with the Five Elements and Everything, but a problem with me."
Meng Zhou reflected in his mind, could it be that his "appetite" has become more and more cunning? His "tolerance" for surprises has become higher and higher?
It took Meng Zhou a month to fully digest this harvest.
In this month's time, "Wanxiang Pearl" gained 30,000 points of experience, which not only completed most of the accumulation of this skill in the introductory stage, but also made significant progress in the Knot Master's attainments.
[Introduction to Wanxiang Pearl 30,000/100,000]
[Rope Master Level 4 10,000/100,000]
Compared with the fourth-level skill of "Flesh and Blood Rebirth", the advantage of "Wanxiang Pearl" is that it can draw materials from anywhere, regardless of spiritual materials or spiritual energy, as long as it is a spiritually-filled object as a carrier.
But the shortcomings are also obvious. With the convenience of collecting materials from anywhere, Meng Zhou can only make two "celestial beads" every day and gain a thousand experience points.
In one month, he put almost all his efforts into it and gained "only" 30,000 experience points.
It is true that the production of "Wanxiang Pearl" is too time-consuming and labor-intensive.
As his understanding of the "Wanxiang Pearl" became more and more profound, and his mastery became more and more proficient, Meng Zhou no longer had the joy of having just created this method, but felt that he had dug a deep hole for himself.
Looking at himself immersed in making the "Wanxiang Bead" day by day, Meng Zhou felt like he was looking at a coder in the spiritual world.
Its principle is so simple.
But the production process is so boring and cumbersome.
What is the difference between this and endless typing on the screen?!
Every day, when the time is almost full, and on the premise of ensuring that the mental strength can be fully recovered the next day, only two "All-Through Beads" can be made, and a thousand experience points can be gained.
In this short period of hard work with almost no end in sight, retreat practice has taken on extraordinary significance.
One month later, at the end of March.
After completing the second Wanxiang bead of the day and accumulating experience with Wanxiang beads to the "entry level of 60,000/100,000", Meng Zhou could not wait to enter a deep state of concentration.
Just ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
On the tenth day of April, at noon, Meng Zhou ended his retreat.
[Cultivation progress +150, nine levels of elixir formation 1365/10,000;
"Next time, the true picture of the bright moon in the vast sea will be perfect."
Meng Zhou was still looking forward to this very much.
May 20th.
After several months of hard training, the "Wanxiang Pearl" finally completed the accumulation of the entry stage and entered the realm of initial achievement.
[Wanxiang Pearl first completed 0/200,000]
With this improvement, Meng Zhou's efficiency in making the Vientiane Pearl has been slightly improved than before, and the mental effort consumed has also been reduced.
In order to maximize the experience of harvesting the "Wanxiang Pearl" within a limited time, Meng Zhou broke the practice habit of taking each day as a small cycle.
This allows him to make one more "All-Thinking Bead" every two days and gain 500 more experience points.
It may not seem like much, but if you extend the time to one month, you will gain an additional 7,500 experience points, which is also very impressive.
Forty days later.
On June 30, when Meng Zhou finished the production of the "Wanxiang Pearl" and entered a deep state of trance, the "Wanxiang Pearl" had already accumulated 50,000 points of experience in the initial stage of formation.
[The initial price of Wanxiang Pearl is 50,000/200,000]
There were no setbacks in the retreat this time. As he expected, the True Map of the Bright Moon successfully completed the accumulation of the master's realm and advanced to perfection.
[The true picture of the bright moon in the vast sea is perfect]
What made him a little disappointed was that good things like the "Spring Water Sutra", which would completely clear out the accumulated negative energy in the body every time the state improved, did not happen.
Fortunately, no big changes have happened, but there are still small surprises.
This is also a change in line with Meng Zhou’s expectations.
With the completion of the true picture of the bright moon in the vast sea, the "three-pole cycle of essence, energy and spirit" that was originally missing a foot no longer has any shortcomings.
At this point, the "three-pole cycle of essence, energy, and spirit" has reached the most ideal and perfect operating state of the three levels.
When Meng Zhou created the Black Turtle Bearing Tablet True Skill after the third-level Spring Water Sutra, and embedded it into the "Three Polar Cycles of Essence, Qi, and Spirit", the efficiency of practice increased five times based on the single third-level Spring Water Sutra.
After these two practices are completed, the practice efficiency will be twice as high as that of the Spring Water Sutra alone.
After Meng Zhou created the true picture of the bright moon in the vast sea and embedded it into the system of "three poles of energy, energy and spirit", the efficiency of practice became five times that of the single Spring Water Sutra.
Now, the true picture of the bright moon in the vast sea is complete, the "three-pole cycle of essence, energy and spirit" no longer has any shortcomings, and the practice efficiency has been increased from 5 times to 3 times.
This is reflected in the fact that Meng Zhou's cultivation progress during this retreat has changed from "+150" to "+180".
[Cultivation progress +180, nine levels of elixir formation 1545/10,000]
What Meng Zhou didn't realize was that the biggest change brought about by the completion of the True Picture of the Bright Moon in the Vast Sea was not reflected at this moment.
After finishing this retreat, Meng Zhou continued to study on the "Wanxiang Pearl".
Five months later, on November 20th, excluding the days of retreat and practice, Meng Zhou completed a full 120 days of hard training before he completed the accumulation of the initial stage of the "Wanxiang Pearl" and advanced to Xiaocheng.
realm.
[Wanxiang Pearl Small Cheng 0/400,000]
This promotion brought Meng Zhou's understanding of the Wanxiang Pearl to a whole new level.
The previous Wanxiang pearls were said to be "all things", but in fact they still had many natural flaws.
Some of them were exposed in Bai Zhi's attempts, and there were many more that didn't appear in her attempts, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.
This upgrade has made up for a lot of these shortcomings, and the Wanxiang Pearl has been further improved.
A side effect is that the difficulty of production has also increased. Therefore, the production efficiency of Wanxiang beads has not increased, and is still at the level of five beads every two days.
Forty days later, at the end of December, after the Wanxiang Pearl once again accumulated 50,000 points of experience, Meng Zhou began to prepare for the first retreat in the upcoming new year.
[Wanxiang Pearl Xiaocheng 50,000/400,000]
Initially, everything was business as usual.
But when the ten-day retreat period approached and Meng Zhou was about to end this retreat as before, something strange happened.
