"This matter is really quite secretive. Even among many families and sect disciples, not many people know about it. Those who know are all secretive. Those who don't know will not know about it unless it is a coincidence.
Inside story."
Hong Ming sat upright and nodded.
"To advance from the Qi training stage to the foundation building stage, you need to condense the lake of mana. At that time, the spiritual energy vortex will turn the spiritual power into a liquid state, also known as mana. This is widely known. But when you advance to the foundation building stage, once you take the building
Ji Dan, the mana lake is contaminated with foreign matter. Such monks who rely on elixirs to advance will have a greatly reduced chance of advancing to the golden elixir stage in the future.
In addition, even if you advance to the Golden Core stage, you are still extremely weak among the Golden Core stages, and it is almost impossible to go further. As for the reason, Feng doesn't know that much.
It’s just that in ancient Kung Fu books, it seems to be mentioned that taking elixirs can break through the foundation building stage, and the golden elixirs condensed after that are only the lowest-grade golden elixirs.”
"Golden elixirs also have different grades?"
Hong Ming was stunned and lost his voice.
Jindan Zhenren is already the top-level existence in the Luo Xing Islands. Among the sects on the five major islands, the highest level is the Jindan stage. As for Jindan Zhenren's secret, no one among the casual cultivators knows it.
Cultivation above the golden elixir?
Are there different levels of golden elixir?
Hong Ming had no idea at all.
But after hearing what Feng Ping said, Hong Ming vaguely noticed something.
There are different levels of elixirs, and it is not impossible for golden elixirs to be divided into different levels.
Although this thing sounds incredible, it may not be false.
Especially this time when he advanced to the later stage of Qi training and did not take any pills, Hong Ming realized something was wrong. The pure spiritual power was terrifying and more majestic than expected, and his spiritual awareness seemed to be higher than that of ordinary monks of the same level.
Up some.
Thinking of this, Hong Ming was silent for a while.
Feng Ping added:
"If this matter is true or not, if Brother Hong goes to the sect, he can look it up on his own. This matter should be recorded in the sect's classics, but... being able to advance to the foundation building stage is a luxury for most people.
Let alone what happens after the golden elixir stage."
"Thank you, Brother Feng, for informing me that Hong will definitely not be able to use this breakthrough method of taking the Foundation Establishment Pill."
Hong Ming sighed and said.
"It's best to do this, but if you want to build a foundation, skills and spiritual objects are indispensable. What I practice now is Bitao Red Fire Skill. For casual cultivators, it is considered an advanced skill, but if you want to yourself
After advancing to the foundation building stage, but still unable to do what he can, Feng will go to Beiluo Island and try his luck in the Netherworld Sect."
When Hong Ming heard this, his face showed surprise and he said:
"Brother Feng is really decisive. I hope that when we meet again, it will already be the foundation building period."
"Borrowing Brother Hong's good words."
Feng Ping responded politely, and after exchanging some cultivation experiences, he turned around and left.
Feng Ping is going to Beiluo Island, which is beyond Hong Ming's expectation.
The Luoxing Islands are divided into four major islands: east, west, south, north and middle. Each island is a continent. Dongluo Island is the most barren and has a low spiritual vein. There is only one sect, Liuyun Sect. Nanluo Island is where demon cultivators gather.
On Earth, there are three sects: Mosha, Baigui, and Yinzha, which have the strongest overall strength. Xilao Island is the most prosperous, with Danxia Sect, which is good at refining elixirs. Beiluo Island is the bleakest, and most of the island is covered with
Ice, hurricanes blow from time to time, and there are two sects, Beihan and Netherworld, where body-refining monks gather.
As for Zhongluo Island, it is the smallest in area and has the richest aura. There is the Nine Swords Sect on it, and its strength ranks first among all the sects.
This sect is also the most powerful sect in Luoxing Islands. There are many sword cultivators in the sect, and their attack power is terrifying.
Feng Ping went to Beiluo Island, probably to the Netherworld Sect, to find a way to advance to the foundation building stage alone, which gave Hong Ming a lot of thoughts.
During this period, Hong Ming advanced to the seventh level of qi training, practiced the secret technique of nine evil spirits tempering the body, and successfully cultivated the three yang spiritual fires. His strength improved by leaps and bounds. The next level of qi training is not difficult. You can reach it step by step, and it will cost more at most.
In a few years, the remaining problem is how to build the foundation.
The Turtle Breath Six Yang Skill is certainly extraordinary, but there is no record of building a foundation alone on this skill.
I don’t know if it was erased when the Zhang family took it, or if it was not in the technique originally.
But no matter what, it was time for Hong Ming to leave.
After thinking for a while, Hong Ming had an idea about the future path.
There are not many things that can be packed away in the cave. The only thing that needs to be taken care of is the spirit water turtle. Since Hong Ming extracted most of the evil energy from the spirit water turtle, its injuries have improved a lot. In addition, the spirit water turtle has been tempered by the three Yang spirit fire.
After that, the spirit water turtle's body, which was already over a foot long, had shrunk by two-thirds and became only an inch long.
After this, the aquatic turtle became extremely lethargic.
Apart from waking up to take the elixir, the spirit water turtle just curls into its shell and sleeps without any reaction.
This shows that Hong Ming is not surprised but happy, because this is a sign of bloodline improvement. As long as the bloodline is stabilized, the strength of the spirit water turtle will increase significantly, and it is impossible to say whether it may awaken new spells.
After putting away the debris, Hong Ming also put away the formations around the cave.
After doing this, Hong Ming came to Zhang's shop.
In a quiet room.
After Zhang Yongfu heard Hong Ming's words, a hint of surprise and reluctance flashed across his face.
After a long while, he said:
"I had long thought that Brother Hong would leave Dongluo Island, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."
In response to Zhang Yongfu's exclamation, Hong Ming smiled and said nothing.
But after sighing, Zhang Yongfu smiled and said:
"Excuse me for being rude, but does Brother Hong still want to go to the Danxia Sect of Silo Island?"
Hong Ming nodded.
This is actually easy to guess, and there is no need to hide it. Hong Ming is an alchemist and has a natural advantage in this area. If he wants to join a sect, the first thing he will consider is the Danxia Sect. Other sects, even the Nine Swords Sect, Hong Ming
He won't join either. After all, Hong Ming is not a swordsman and has no plans to become a swordsman for the time being.
Zhang Yongfu was delighted when he heard this and said:
"In this case, why not go to Siluo Island with Zhang? The Zhang family has a shop on Siluo Island where they buy elixirs, and they need someone to take care of it. I just want to go to Siluo Island with you.
"
Hong Ming frowned slightly, and after asking, he agreed, and then talked about some other things. Hong Ming inadvertently expressed his interest in Biluo Guo, and this was the end of the exchange.
The time is set in one month.
After leaving Zhang's shop, Hong Ming sighed slightly and said nothing.
An hour later, Hong Ming sat down in front of the cave of fellow Taoist Zhang Yueling. At this time, Zhang Yueling was still at the peak of the sixth level of Qi training, and it would take several years to polish the spiritual power in his Dantian before breaking through to the late stage of Qi training.
"Brother Hong is leaving, which is expected, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."
Zhang Yueling had a smile on his face.
Speaking of it, the relationship between the two was pretty good, but they only talked about transactions every time and rarely talked about other things. Hong Ming didn't want to talk about it, while Zhang Yueling was very taboo about it and had been avoiding something.
"Since Fellow Daoist Hong is leaving, there are several formations here that I think will come in handy."
