Hong Ming opened his eyes with a look of surprise, especially when he looked at the huge spiritual energy in his dantian, the bitterness of these years disappeared in an instant.
Hong Ming felt the difference as soon as he used the technique for a little while:
"The speed of refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has been doubled. The advantage in the middle stage of Qi training is indeed obvious."
However, at the fourth level of Qi training, every spiritual power in the Dantian is the total amount of the third level of Qi training, so the speed of cultivation is less than a quarter of that of the third level of Qi training.
Hong Ming activated his spiritual power and there were changes.
The effect of the Hidden Breath Technique is even more obvious. If the Hidden Breath Technique was activated before and it was still possible for monks to discover it in the late stage of Qi training, then now it is difficult for monks to detect Hong Ming's Hidden Breath Technique in the late Qi training stage.
Unless there are special means.
In addition, Hong Ming's physical body has also been tempered with some impurities after this breakthrough, and his whole body exudes a faint odor.
"There is a slight increase in spiritual consciousness, and the speed of the ritual weapon has also increased a lot."
After Hong Ming adapted to his improved cultivation, he began to think about his future cultivation.
By the middle stage of Qi training, he has become the mainstream monk in Dongluo Island.
For most monks, if they don't have the opportunity, they will basically reach the middle stage of Qi training.
According to the current speed of Hong Ming's meditation practice, excluding the bottleneck period, it will take about twenty years to practice the fourth level of Qi, about fifty years to practice the fifth level, and at least one hundred and twenty years to practice the sixth level.
In this way, if you practice till death, you will only reach the sixth level of Qi training.
Therefore, if you want to go further, you must seek external forces.
Pills are the easiest way.
In addition, some auxiliary magic weapons are also indispensable.
These all require spiritual stones.
"By the way, there's also a gourd."
Hong Ming did not forget the gourd he accidentally obtained from the belly of the armored crocodile.
I don’t know what kind of treasure this gourd is, but it is very magical that it cannot be stored in the storage bag.
There are only two types of treasures that cannot be stored in storage bags. One is storage treasures, which are commonly seen in storage bags, and the other is special treasures.
It is said that a monk in the Qi training period was hunting monsters in the sea. He accidentally obtained a certain exotic treasure, which he could not put into a storage bag. Later, it was given to the family. The family took the exotic treasure to participate in the auction, which actually attracted Luo Xing.
The high-level monks in the archipelago robbed it, and finally a golden elixir stage monk took action and spent several million spiritual stones to buy it.
As a result, this Qi-training monk successfully advanced to the Foundation-building stage and became a legend in the Luoxing Islands.
"Is this treasure so rare that it is a rare treasure?"
Hong Ming's eyes showed suspicion.
Looking at the stone gourd carefully, Hong Ming found nothing unusual. He could not use his spiritual consciousness and spiritual power to refine the gourd. The gourd itself was completely isolated from his spiritual consciousness, and spiritual power could not penetrate into it.
Hong Ming even tried it with a medium-grade magic weapon, but could not leave the slightest trace on the gourd.
"Why is this thing so weird?"
Hong Ming took the gourd and played with it carefully.
At this time, Hong Ming noticed that there were two patterns on the stone gourd, one was round and the other was semi-curved, which seemed to be in the shape of a sun and a moon.
With a thought, Hong Ming's consciousness slowly stretched out and penetrated into the sun and moon patterns.
In an instant, Hong Ming felt as if his spiritual consciousness was being swallowed by something, and it was being consumed rapidly.
ah!
Hong Ming let out a low roar and fainted.
I don’t know how long it took before Hong Ming finally woke up.
But at this time, Hong Ming felt a little panicked because his consciousness had left his physical body.
Spiritual consciousness separated from body?
Hong Ming had never heard of this kind of ability. It was rumored that high-level monks above the foundation-building stage had unpredictable magical powers. They might be able to do it, but for Hong Ming, this was too far away.
This place is a vast space.
The ground is a gray land with nothing on it. In the sky, a sun rises and shines on the earth.
"This place is the Calabash Space? How can I go back!"
Hong Ming thought about it and felt a vague connection.
Following this connection, Hong Ming's consciousness moved, and the next moment, Hong Ming opened his eyes.
came back.
Lifting his arms and shaking his physical body, Hong Ming didn't feel any discomfort, except that most of his spiritual consciousness was consumed.
Picking up the gourd, Hong Ming looked at it carefully, with a look of surprise in his eyes:
"The pattern is gone!"
The stone gourd originally had sun and moon patterns on it, but now they have disappeared.
However, after Hong Ming was slightly stunned when he thought of this, he felt strange.
It seems that the sun and moon pattern is still on the gourd, but it can't be felt by the naked eye or spiritual consciousness, but Hong Ming can miraculously feel its existence.
His spiritual consciousness slowly penetrated into the place where the pattern on the stone gourd should exist.
The next moment, Hong Ming felt that the world was spinning.
Surrounded by a gray space, it was so hazy that no edges could be seen. The sun in the sky was about to set slowly, and the black land on the ground was still bare and unchanged.
"This place seems to be of no use!"
Hong Ming came in this time without consuming his spiritual consciousness, and naturally he was not nervous either. Instead, he looked around the gourd space with great interest.
However, when Hong Ming was running exercises or practicing spells in this place, he noticed the difference. Although the sun and the earth here exuded spiritual energy, the spiritual energy could not be refined or invoked at all, as if this world was
One and the same.
In this way, Hong Ming tried for a long time, but to no avail.
After coming out again, Hong Ming showed a look of helplessness:
"It seems that this gourd space can only be used as a storage device, but apart from attracting the covetousness of others, it seems to have no effect."
Such a storage treasure seems to have been passed down from ancient times. There should not be too many interested monks. Once it is exposed, it will be a disaster for Hong Ming.
Fortunately, the patterns on this treasure have been hidden, and no one can find out the clues about this treasure except Hong Ming.
However, Hong Ming decided not to use this storage treasure in front of outsiders.
Putting away the sun and moon gourd, Hongming practiced hard again.
After advancing to the fourth level of Qi training, although Hong Ming practiced hard, he also started going out to make friends.
Especially after the middle stage of Qi training, the strength has greatly increased, whether it is the power of spells or the refining of mid-grade magic weapons, there has been a qualitative improvement. At this time, going to sea to hunt monsters is a very good choice.
In the middle stage of Qi training, monks will often gather together with five or six people to support each other and go out to sea to hunt monsters.
…
One month later.
In a cave, six people were exchanging their thoughts and ideas.
Hong Ming sat on the edge, carefully understanding the experiences of others, and occasionally expressing his own views on cultivation.
Listening to the exchanges between so many fellow Taoists, Hong Ming felt a little regretful. If he had known these principles of cultivation earlier, the difficulty of breaking through the fourth level of Qi training would have been reduced by at least three levels.
The spiritual practice experience of my predecessors is still very useful.
