There is no sun or moon in the mountain, and it has been in the cave for thousands of years. For Zhang Cong, although it is not such an exaggeration, it is very suitable for Zhang Cong who is in a state of cultivation.
Unknowingly, three months passed quietly.
For Zhang Cong, this period of time seemed like only one day had passed. After he entered a state of trance, it was difficult to feel the passage of time at all.
These three months were very short for Zhang Cong from a sensory perspective, but every day during these three months, Zhang Cong was immersed in physical pain.
At first, Zhang Cong only used the spiritual power in a large number of spiritual stones to help him cultivate, but those spiritual stones were extremely precious, and Zhang Cong was reluctant to use too many of them.
Of the more than 7,500 spiritual stones, Zhang Cong only used 2,500. After two months, Zhang Cong finally reached the middle stage of Qi training.
This is extremely fast for ordinary monks. For ordinary monks, if they want to enter the middle stage of Qi training, it will take at least a year to practice in a place with abundant spiritual energy. Even if they have the same number of spiritual stones to assist them, this time
We can only get a discount and it will take about half a year.
Zhang Cong had the assistance of a unique movement technique in the sword art, coupled with more than 2,500 spiritual stones and an unimaginably abundant spiritual mist, it took him such a short time to reach the middle stage of foundation building.
Normally, monks would not use spiritual stones to assist their cultivation, because spiritual stones are created by heaven and earth. When monks purchase magic weapons and exercises, spiritual stones are used as currency.
It can be said that every piece of this spiritual stone is extremely precious. Twenty-five hundred spiritual stones, such a huge quantity, is enough to buy a top-grade magic weapon that can be used by monks in the foundation building stage.
But Zhang Cong is just a young man who has just entered the world of cultivation. How can he understand the preciousness of this spiritual stone? He just feels that it is a pity that such a precious stone should be used for cultivation in vain.
Next, Zhang Cong was no longer willing to use this spiritual stone to help him practice. His eyes instantly focused on the vial. Because the spiritual liquid in the vial was already full. In the past two months, the vial had
Never absorbed a trace of spiritual energy again.
Grabbing the small bottle covered with silver fine lines, Zhang Cong took a look at the small bottle.
Next, Zhang Cong will practice the real part of the sword formula. This sword formula is divided into two parts, one part is for the monks to practice the technique, and the other part is the Taoist sword formula.
It is not so much that the blue book is one book, but in fact it contains two completely different contents. It seems that the swordsman who asked the question did it intentionally and saved unnecessary trouble in cultivation.
If a foundation-building monk wants to enter the golden elixir stage, he needs to prove his Taoist heart with external objects. It can be a technique that he has studied for a lifetime, or a magic weapon that he has cultivated for a lifetime.
When overcoming the tribulation, the monks need to condense these external objects into a tough Taoist heart and take the three-way sky thunder test. If successful, they can turn the Taoist platform into a golden elixir. This Taoist heart is the core of the golden elixir.
Zhang Cong has read a lot of books about cultivation in the past two months and learned about various matters at various stages of cultivation. Even after finishing one book, Zhang Cong was even more shocked.
Zhang Cong learned this information from that book.
However, Zhang Cong thought that if he could really perfect the foundation building, then the Wenjian Dao Jue would be the best Dao Heart material.
After dreaming about a generally beautiful future, Zhang Cong suddenly felt that the pain caused by cultivation had dissipated a lot.
After collecting his mind, Zhang Cong took out the vial and entered samadhi again. When asking for the Sword Jue, he was not cultivating a sword, but cultivating sword energy. Injecting spiritual energy into the magic weapon, endless sword energy burst out, cutting through thorns and thorns, and piercing.
The sky.
In the final analysis, the broken sword is not precious, the sword art is the most precious thing.
The broken sword is just a container for sword energy.
At the end of the training, you can use your own fingers as swords to produce sword energy, but the sword energy produced by the fingers is only 30% more powerful than the broken sword. If you want to display the full power of the sword energy, you still need to continue.
That broken sword.
At this moment, the Wentian Sword is already in dilapidated state. It seems that it cannot withstand Zhang Cong's torture. It must not be used until the Wentian Sword is completely repaired.
Practicing Taoist Sword Art requires the help of a large amount of spiritual energy. At present, the only spiritual energy Zhang Cong can use is the extremely violent spiritual liquid in this small bottle.
As Zhang Cong entered concentration, the vial next to him began to shake, and then a large amount of spiritual mist sublimated from the spiritual liquid floated out of the vial. The electric light in the spiritual mist was looming, but it was somewhat different from ordinary spiritual mist.
Zhang Cong, however, didn't care at all about the strange phenomena of the spiritual mist. Zhang Cong had already known all of this. The lightning was just the lightning storm absorbed by the vial mixed with a large amount of spiritual liquid.
At this moment, as the spiritual mist around Zhang Cong became thicker and thicker, until it reached the point where he couldn't see his fingers, the spiritual liquid in the vial stopped evaporating.
Zhang Cong seized this opportunity, carefully absorbed the spiritual liquid into his body, and started practicing according to the method of sword art.
Zhang Cong controlled the flashing spiritual energy to circulate within himself for thirty-six days, and then all of it was inhaled into the spiritual sea in Dantian. However, these spiritual energy were not poured into the spiritual sea by Zhang Cong, but floated in the spiritual sea.
Above the spiritual sea, it looks like a dark cloud.
Zhang Cong used this method to continuously absorb the surrounding spiritual mist, and then placed it above the spiritual sea. As the spiritual mist around him was exhausted, the scene above the spiritual sea in Zhang Cong's body changed at this moment.
Those auras wrapped in electric light continued to swim on Zhang Cong's spiritual sea, causing Zhang Cong's spiritual sea to stir up a lot of waves. This scene was like a sea about to usher in a storm, which was quite magnificent.
Until Zhang Cong inhaled the last trace of spiritual energy into his body, Zhang Cong focused all his attention on the spiritual mist above the spiritual sea that was wrapped with thin currents.
He took a deep breath, and then began to practice according to the sword technique.
I saw the lightning mist shrinking continuously. As Zhang Cong didn't use the sword technique once, the spirit mist shrank by one. Until two days and two nights later, the spirit mist shrunk a thousand times compared to before.
More than enough.
The spiritual mist that had been compressed to the extreme hardened at this moment and became an entity. This was the extremely compressed spiritual crystal.
Those spiritual crystals were constantly changing their shapes under the stimulation of the sword technique. Soon a small sword hilt took shape. After another two days, the sword hilt made of the spiritual crystals was finally ready.
Tend to perfection.
The hilt of the sword was milky white in color, with streaks of lightning constantly bursting out from it, which was very beautiful. Zhang Cong was very pleased to see the hilt taking shape.
"At this moment, this sword art is considered to be more than half practiced. To ask the sword art, you need to use a large amount of spiritual energy to compress it on the spiritual sea into a small spiritual crystal sword, place it on the spiritual sea, and you can do it without activating the mental skills of the sword art.
Use the small sword to gather the sword energy, and with one slash, the mountains and seas will shake."
Looking at the words recorded in the sword formula, Zhang Cong suddenly felt very excited. The domineering meaning in his words continuously infected Zhang Cong invisibly, giving him endless motivation to practice.
After adjusting his mind, Zhang Cong devoted himself to practicing again according to the original method.
More than a month passed before Zhang Cong finally successfully forged the small spiritual crystal sword above the spiritual sea, and the spiritual fluid in the vial was exhausted.
As the last trace of spiritual crystal was applied to the sword body by Zhang Cong, a silver light burst out from his body instantly, illuminating the originally dark cave, making the surroundings unobstructed.
It took more than a month for Zhang Cong to finally successfully practice this sword technique.
As the silver light dissipated, Zhang Cong slowly opened his eyes. He looked around. The two fingers of his right hand formed a sword. A large amount of spiritual energy was condensed on the two fingers, vaguely showing a milky white texture.
.
In just a moment, a sword energy suddenly took shape. Zhang Cong stood up and swung forward suddenly. The pale sword energy immediately rushed forward with endless power. After rushing out of the cave, the sword energy rushed forward with the force of thunder.
He cut straight through a towering tree and rushed out from the middle of the tree.
The rest of the force disappeared, carrying the fallen leaves on the ground, and continued to rush towards a huge boulder. In an instant, with a roaring sound, the sword energy suddenly submerged into the boulder more than ten feet high, and the boulder exploded instantly, shattering into pieces.
The rocks were thrown around, breaking many slender branches.
A breeze blew by, and the towering tree chopped by the sword energy swayed for a moment, and then fell to the ground. A large amount of dust rose up around it. When the dust dispersed, only a figure was seen standing on the severed tree stump.
It was Zhang Cong who walked out of the cave before.
He looked at the extremely smooth cut on the tree stump and burst into laughter.
"This sword energy is indeed extremely powerful. Although it only exerts 30% of its power, it is already so amazing." Zhang Cong looked at the smooth incision and suddenly smiled.
Without much delay, Zhang Cong entered the cave again and continued to practice in seclusion.
Another three months passed in the blink of an eye. Zhang Cong looked at the dark caves around him, but he was a little unhappy.
In the first two months, Zhang Cong had already entered the Great Perfection of the middle stage of Qi training. For the next whole month, Zhang Cong had been trying to break through and enter the late stage of Qi training, but after trying more than a dozen times, Zhang Cong still failed.
.
After reading many classics, Zhang Cong realized that the spiritual energy in his place was too thin, and all the spiritual fluid accumulated in the vial over the past three months had been absorbed by Zhang Cong.
.
Previously, Zhang Cong entered the middle stage of Qi training with the help of spiritual stones and a small bottle full of spiritual liquid, and successfully practiced the Dao Dao Sword Jue Sword Heart. Now, relying solely on the thin spiritual energy around him, if he wants to break through the shackles, he can only rely on the energy around him.
It is difficult to do this with thin spiritual energy.
After understanding the reason, Zhang Cong stopped practicing. Continuing at this moment would be a waste of time. At this moment, he must either find a place with abundant spiritual energy, or wait until the spiritual fluid in the vial is full again before he can achieve a breakthrough.
possible.
Thinking of this, Zhang Cong sighed helplessly. Although he was a little regretful, Zhang Cong gained a lot from this retreat. He entered the middle stage of Qi training, and he also condensed the Tao Dao Sword Jue.
Zhang Cong spent half a year on the sword heart described, so it was considered a worthwhile trip.
After putting everything into the storage bag, Zhang Cong took out a decent training uniform from the storage bag. After changing the clothes that were already in tatters, his whole person suddenly looked brand new.
.
After looking around, Zhang Cong nodded with satisfaction, turned around, put his hands behind his back, hummed a tune, and left the cave where he had stayed for half a year with great satisfaction.
Zhang Cong walked briskly along the way. It was just getting dark at the moment, but Zhang Cong was not in a hurry to go down the mountain. He was seen walking around on the mountain, as if he was looking for something. Just past noon, Zhang Cong stopped at a mountain col.
