Chapter 508: Impacting the Bone Treasure Period (2)
Lu Kun worked hard, endured great pain, and spent a year carving the spirit-controlling circle on his bones in order to enhance the control of his mana, compress it more easily, and make it easier to crystallize his mana.
The cave he was in was the place with the strongest spiritual energy on Demon Spirit Island, and there were spirit gathering circles both inside and outside to gather spiritual energy. The spiritual energy was completely comparable to the central area of Demon Spirit Island back then.
Such a strong aura can help traditional immortal cultivators increase their chances of crystallizing mana and condensing golden elixirs. It also has a great effect on physical cultivation like Lu Kun.
Under the operation of Lu Kun's body refining technique, the surrounding rich spiritual energy quickly submerged into his bone thunder seal and was converted into bone mana. This newly generated mana was in the bones.
This is one of the benefits of re-condensing the thunder seal and changing its position. The mana appearing directly in the bones can accelerate the concentration process of mana and save a lot of energy.
If you want to crystallize mana, you must first concentrate it. For traditional monks, concentrating mana will consume a lot of mana, so you must always maintain a state of cultivation.
In this process, the newly converted mana is greater than the mana consumed by concentration, so it will be easier if the external spiritual energy is abundant.
Of course, the concentrated mana is not achieved in one step, but a small part of the mana is concentrated first, and all the mana slowly reaches a new density. At that time, it is possible for the mana to crystallize.
As a physical practitioner, Lu Kun is similar to traditional monks in this regard.
However, the process of crystallizing his mana has advantages and disadvantages compared with traditional immortal cultivators.
The advantage is that the location where his mana is concentrated is in the bones rather than the Dantian. This is a mana container that is almost as strong as a top-level magic weapon. No matter how roughly you stuff mana into it, there will be no cracks or damage.
Greatly sped up.
The disadvantage is that Lu Kun's powerful magic power is twice that of the ordinary Foundation-Building Dzogchen. If the total amount of magic power is large, it will take more time to concentrate, and the difficulty of crystallization will be higher.
However, the advantages and disadvantages complement each other, and I really can’t say how long it will take in the end.
Under its control, the mana all over Lu Kun's body converged into the bones, and the newly generated mana appeared in the bones at the same time. Under the pressure of the spirit-controlling array, the mana density inside the bones was slowly increasing.
Of course, bones do not completely seal the mana. During the concentration process, in addition to the lost mana, a large amount of mana bounces back from the bones and disperses back to other locations in the physical body.
Lu Kun didn't care about this. His purpose at this stage was just crystallization, and he was not in a hurry to press all the mana into his bones.
In addition to the spirit-controlling array on the bones, the strong blood in his body is also of great help in concentrating his magic power.
This function is transportation.
Under the influence of Lu Kun's perfect body refining technique, the blood circulating throughout the body can assist the spirit control array, absorbing a large amount of mana that has bounced out of the bones and transporting it back to the bones.
For Lu Kun, who has a strong heart, it is easy to change the speed and direction of blood flow.
Under so many advantageous conditions, Lu Kun had no doubt that his mana could be crystallized, it was just a waste of time.
In this way, time passed slowly as Lu Kun concentrated his magic power.
One year...
Two years...
In Lu Kun's third year of seclusion, Pan Yan, who had worked hard to build the artificial lake on Demonling Island, finally reached the final stage.
This body cultivator of thick earth body stood in a large pit in the outer area of the island. The diameter of the pit was about two hundred feet. Pan Yan's very strong figure was very small compared to the pit.
Connected to the large circular pit are two channels several feet deep and ten feet wide. These channels connect towards the central area of Demon Spirit Island, and their width gradually becomes smaller.
When it reaches several peaks in the central area, it branches out and leads all the way to the top of the peaks. After that, Zhu Xiaofeng only needs to arrange some water attribute arrays on the tops of the peaks.
Such large man-made rivers and lakes were slowly created by Pan Yan who spent time practicing earth-attribute spells every day for three years.
"Today, if we make this artificial lake a little deeper, it will be truly over." Pan Yan, standing in the middle of the pit, murmured.
"Although it took a little longer, it was not as tiring as I imagined."
Just as he was speaking, a small silver figure appeared at his feet. It was an extremely fat silkworm, it was the silver silkworm Gu.
This little guy lived a very happy life in Demon Spirit Island. When it was outside, it only dared to sleep deep underground and practice slowly. Unlike now, it can run around freely.
Although the area of this island is limited, it is already very huge for this little guy.
"Why are you interested in coming to my place, little Yinzi? By the way, it's time to get the poison again." Pan Yan signed a contract with the silver silkworm Gu and chose a name at random.
"Hiss."
The two big eyes on the fat silkworm's head flickered, and the small mouth underneath seemed to be slightly raised.
"Hey, you're still here..."
Before Pan Yan could finish speaking, the plump silkworm plunged down, as if the bottom was not solid soil but water, allowing it to penetrate easily.
Pan Yan shook his head helplessly, and the yellow light on his body flashed slightly, followed closely, and submerged into the soil.
This scene has happened countless times over the years, and every time the silver silkworm Gu would play a chase in the earth with Pan Yan when he was taking the poison.
In recent times, the little silkworm has been caught quickly. Pan Yan has been practicing earth attribute spells over the years. Coupled with his thick earth body, he has become more skilled in earth spells.
But this time, the little silkworm was well prepared. In the past few times, it found that Pan Yan moved laterally in the soil much faster than it did, but when it came to drilling down, it was much slower.
So this time the little guy was very smart and kept drilling down. In his mind, as long as Pan Yan spent more than half an hour catching it, he would have succeeded.
After drilling down for a hundred feet, the little silkworm felt the fluctuations of earth-attributed mana above, and knew that it was right. That big guy Pan Yan couldn't drill much faster than it.
The excitement in the little silkworm's eyes became more and more intense, and its plump body twisted continuously as it kept drilling downwards.
"when!"
But just when the little guy was excited, it suddenly bumped into something extremely hard, which stopped its dive. The force of the collision made the little guy a little confused and dizzy.
"Hey, what is this?"
After a while, Pan Yan's yellow escaping light came to the side of the little silkworm. He first grabbed the still dizzy fat silkworm, put it into the spirit beast bag, and then used his spiritual consciousness to carefully explore forward.
What was exposed to his consciousness was a silver light curtain, and waves of heart-stopping aura rushed towards his face.
"Silver Restriction? You can't detect it with your spiritual sense if you are far away. The aura is very similar to the one surrounding the island."
Pan Yan, who was muttering in his mouth, made a fist with his hand and knocked down several times, but the forbidden light curtain did not move at all.
"Yes, there is a restriction hanging over the island. How come there isn't one deep underground?" Then Pan Yan shook his head, the yellow light on his body flashed, and he used the Earth Escape Technique to escape upwards.
He wanted to get the poison first, and then made the artificial lake deeper, and soon forgot about this restriction.
