"This whale swallowing technique is indeed magical. In just a short period of time, fifty bottles of highly concentrated spiritual liquid were completely absorbed by me."
Xiang Shang sighed, with a look of shock on his face.
Fifty bottles of highly concentrated spiritual liquid, based on the spiritual energy contained in one bottle equivalent to one hundred spiritual stones, is equivalent to five thousand spiritual stones.
In other words, Xiang Shang absorbed the spiritual energy contained in five thousand spiritual stones in a short period of time.
"Taking into account the process of absorption and transformation, relying on the whale swallowing technique, I can absorb the total amount of spiritual energy equivalent to 10,000 spiritual stones in about an hour."
Xiang Shang quickly calculated the values. Then he compared them with those in the Tianpin training room, and came to a conclusion in the blink of an eye.
"Four times!"
"Relying on the whale swallowing technique, the effect of my whole day's practice is equivalent to four times that of practicing in a Tianpin training room, which means it is equivalent to forty times that of practicing in the outside world..."
This value was so amazing that Xiang Shangshi was shocked when he came to the conclusion.
"It's just that the resources required to practice the whale-swallowing technique are astonishing. The effect is as great as the resource consumption."
The effect of the Whale Swallowing Technique is entirely dependent on the accumulation of resources. Forty times the cultivation effect, naturally, it takes forty times the amount of resources.
The two are directly proportional to each other.
But Xiang Shang didn't feel too distressed.
Because martial arts training inherently consumes resources, even if they go to a Tianpin training room to practice, they have to hand over 100,000 spirit stones. Because they belong to the official, they also need 50,000 spirit stones.
After practicing for a whole day, the weight of spiritual energy absorbed is only equivalent to the total amount of fifty thousand spiritual stones at most.
"As long as the speed of cultivation is guaranteed, the slight consumption of resources is worth it."
Xiang Shang is very satisfied with this whale swallowing technique. You must know that if the resources are gone, you can still earn more, but if the cultivation speed is one step slower than others, the risk level will be higher.
Not to mention that as Xiang Shang's physique improves, the refining speed of this whale swallowing technique will also increase.
In other words, when Xiang Shang's strength is broken through, the energy absorbed in the same period of time will be greater.
One can imagine how powerful this secret technique is.
While thinking, Xiang Shang's mental energy swept away, and hundreds of bottles of highly concentrated spiritual liquid suddenly appeared around him.
Using the whale swallowing technique, Xiang Shang relied on his mental power to squeeze. Fifty bottles of highly concentrated spiritual liquid were broken in the first moment, and then instantly absorbed by the whale swallowing technique and merged into Xiang Shang's body.
Half an hour later, all the spiritual energy of the fifty bottles of highly concentrated spiritual liquid was absorbed. Xiang Shang's mental power was swept away again, and another fifty bottles of highly concentrated spiritual liquid were shattered...
But after half a day passed, all the highly concentrated spiritual liquid was consumed.
"In the past half a day, two more acupuncture points have been ignited. It seems that the sixth level of Houtian realm will soon be able to complete the cultivation."
Xiang Shang thought in his mind, his mental power covering the storage bag.
Soon, mountains of spiritual stones appeared around Xiang Shang.
You know, Xiang Shang made a profit of tens of millions of spirit stones due to his bet before. Even if he spent nearly half of it during the period, he would still have five to six million.
In addition, the Korean Martial Arts Hall and the Japanese Martial Arts Hall were massacred successively, and a lot of resource spiritual stones were obtained from their gym owners and others.
Now Xiang Shang is just a spiritual stone, with as many as eight million.
They were all piled up around him, and the unique gleaming light of the spirit stones made people dizzy.
If Xiang Shang wanted to practice through spiritual stones before, although the conversion efficiency was higher than direct practice, it was also very laborious. It was better to swallow spiritual pills to practice.
After all, the spiritual energy contained in the elixir is definitely more than that of a single spiritual stone.
But now that the whale swallowing technique was in hand, Xiang Shang's mental power was swept away. In an instant, five thousand spiritual stones were directly crushed into pieces, and endless spiritual energy floated out.
The hurricane roared, and an extremely powerful suction force was generated from Xiang Shang's body. The spiritual energy contained in the five thousand spiritual stones was absorbed by Xiang Shang almost instantly and entered his body.
Half an hour later, the spiritual energy was completely absorbed, Xiang Shang's mental power was swept away again, and another five thousand spiritual stones were shattered.
…
Time passed, and Xiang Shang was always in retreat practicing.
Occasionally when he gets tired, he will open the tactical terminal, watch some news, or contact a few friends to tell his own situation and understand the other party's situation.
Occasionally, Xiang Shang would contact a familiar number. However, he had been unable to contact him for such a long time, which made him quite worried.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed, and Xiang Shang finally came out of seclusion.
After a month of retreat, Xiang Shang's spiritual power finally reached its limit. No matter whether he practiced mysterious spiritual cultivation methods or absorbed spiritual energy through soul beads, he could not increase it even a little bit.
In other words, his mental power has reached his current strongest level, and it is basically impossible to break through in the short term.
Perhaps only by breaking through the realm and entering the innate realm can it be possible to rely on the innate energy of the innate realm to stimulate the growth of mental power and break through the original shackles.
Of course, in addition to this, Xiang Shang also had the idea of using the Ghost Emperor's soul beads with innate aura to promote spiritual breakthroughs.
But soon, he dismissed the whole idea.
Not to mention that his mental power improved too quickly and needed a certain amount of time to stabilize. The process from acquired to innate is a transformation from the level of life. The difference between relying on external forces and one's own strength to achieve a breakthrough is huge.
.
Perhaps there is not much difference in the realm itself, but the understanding of the innate realm through external forces is definitely not as profound as through one's own entry.
In terms of combat effectiveness, there is a huge difference.
In addition to reaching the limit of his mental strength, Xiang Shang also achieved a breakthrough in his martial arts realm.
With the accumulation of massive resources and the magic of the whale swallowing technique, Xiang Shang once again ignited nearly a hundred acupoints in just one month, from the original 438 to 538.
Two of them have completely crossed the sixth level of the Houtian Realm and reached the seventh level of the Houtian Realm.
As for the bottleneck between the sixth level of the Houtian Realm and the seventh level of the Houtian Realm, it takes a certain amount of time for others to break through, but for Xiang Shang, whose mental power has reached the limit, it is very easy.
Strong mental power also has great benefits in martial arts training.
At least Xiang Shang can feel that his cultivation in the Houtian realm will be smooth, and he will not encounter any bottlenecks from the seventh level to the ninth level.
The only thing that can hinder him is probably resources.
Xiang Shang's improvement in the realm of martial arts came at a high price. Not to mention the hundreds of bottles of highly concentrated spiritual liquid that were consumed, he used a total of four million spiritual stones alone.
