Chapter 488: One Step Further
For more than a month, the three soul bodies took turns to fight. Xiao Mian was running the true energy in his body sleeplessly, as if he was trying to make up for the slack of the past few years.
I practiced hard for more than a month and gained a lot.
Originally, Xiao Mian always thought that his total amount of True Yuan had reached the limit of a Jindan junior monk. Even ordinary Jindan intermediate monks were not as good as him. It would be difficult to make a fuss about the amount of True Yuan. He didn't want to change to Jindan. After the "Sanqing Bible" in the Dan chapter, although Xiao Mian's total amount of true energy did not increase, the density of true energy was further improved, and accordingly, the amount of true energy increased.
The true essence flowing in Xiao Mian's body now seems to be the same as before, but in fact it is more condensed. A rough estimate shows that the amount of true essence in Xiao Mian has increased by more than 30%.
It should be noted that Xiao Mian's original amount of true energy was astonishing. His 30% true energy was almost equivalent to all of Bai Caiwei's original true energy, which can be said to be extremely rich.
Not to mention this, what really made Xiao Mian overjoyed was that after his true energy was compressed to the point where it could no longer be compressed, the golden elixir that was firmly located in his dantian suddenly trembled slightly.
Ever since Xiao Mian formed the elixir, the seven-color glazed golden elixir has been sitting peacefully in the middle of the Dantian without any incident.
Now this slight tremble indicates that Xiao Mian finally has an opportunity to advance!
Suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, Xiao Mian also suppressed the trembling of the golden elixir.
The slight trembling of the golden elixir means that Xiao Mian can try to break through to the intermediate level of the golden elixir at any time. With Xiao Mian's accumulated experience, it is almost certain that he can survive this small level without any catastrophe. If an ordinary monk In this situation, I am afraid that I will start to break through without even thinking, and strive to become an intermediate golden elixir monk as soon as possible.
It's not that Xiao Mian doesn't want to, it's just that he is not an ordinary qi practitioner of a single lineage.
Nowadays, it is easy for Xiao Mian to break through to the intermediate level of Jindan. However, Xiao Mian, a fellow practitioner of the three meridians, must not only focus on Qi training, but also take into account both spiritual and body refining.
After that, Xiao Mian continued to use the "Sanqing Bible" in the Golden Elixir Chapter to temper the true energy in his body. Although he knew that doing so was quite thankless, Xiao Mian also admitted it.
At the same time, Xiao Mian completed a new round of training in the "Soul Separation Technique" first, returning his three souls and seven souls to their original places, feeling full of energy and refreshed.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Mian completed another round of practice of the "Ten Thousand Poison Curses".
Originally, Xiao Mian planned to refine the Scorpion King Qingjing that was compressed into his own body. After all, Xiao Mian had successfully refined the blue and white porcelain in Wanzong City a few years ago. Among the ten strange poisons, Scorpion King Qingjing ranked ninth, only one place higher than Blue and White Porcelain. Xiao Mian thought that he was enough to control the toxicity of Scorpion King Qingjing.
After not wanting to try it, the Scorpion King Qingjing was only ranked ninth among the top ten strange poisons in the world, but its toxicity was fierce and overbearing. It was definitely not comparable to the blue and white porcelain of the day. It tortured Xiao Mian so much that he couldn't bear to die. Although Xiao Mian had a strong heart, he had to give up. This thought.
Obviously, Xiao Mian's current strength is still unable to control the Scorpion King Qingjing!
As a last resort, Xiao Mian had no choice but to do the next best thing and swallow a sixth-level poisonous weed, Delphinium Aconitum. This sixth-level poisonous weed was naturally brought out by Xiao Mian from the farmer's secret warehouse, because it was Inheriting Bai Caiwei's "Poison Classic", Xiao Mian may not have gotten started in the process of refining and detoxifying poisons, but he has made long-term progress in identifying and identifying poisons, and he can be called a collector of poisons.
Precisely because of this, along the way, Xiao Mian often collected high-grade poisons to prepare for future emergencies. Of course, he was often laughed at by Gui Hai and Tuoba Lan as a little poison. Every time, Xiao Mian was Laugh it off without comment.
After refining the Delphinium Aconitum, Xiao Mian's heart moved and he came to Gui Hai. Seeing that Gui Hai was still unconscious, Xiao Mian shook his head and smiled bitterly. However, this time Xiao Mian did not come for Gui Hai, but for the Scorpion King Armor that Gui Hai was wearing.
Although the Scorpion King Armor is a primary defensive magic weapon, it had already been destroyed to pieces by the two quasi-Nascent Soul monks Bailian Zhenjun and Mianyuan in the previous fierce battle in Gui Xiao Valley. Although it is still worn by Gui Hai, But it was already useless. A defensive magic weapon like the Scorpion King Armor that had suffered a devastating disaster would be better off refining it if it wanted to be repaired.
But to Xiao Mian, the Scorpion King Armor was not without its merits.
It should be noted that this Scorpion King Armor is refined from the entire shell of the sixth-level Scorpion King. It itself contains the extremely pure and powerful spiritual energy of the Scorpion King. Although it is broken now, the spiritual energy contained in it has not been lost. How much, if Xiao Mian can refine it into his body, and combine it with the leather armor of the pangolin carp beast that he refined before, and combine the two, after Xiao Mian activates the physical properties, he will definitely be able to obtain the maximum strength of defense.
With this idea in mind, Xiao Mian took off the Scorpion King Armor from Gui Hai.
I think after Guihai wakes up, he won't be serious about a broken Scorpion King's armor, right?
While laughing, Xiao Mian re-entered a new round of meditation.
After that, it was another long and boring period of hard training.
When Xiao Mian opened his eyes again, it was already more than a month later.
Looking up, Guihai was still the same as before, Xiao Mian frowned slightly.
Calculating carefully, the two of them have been living in Zhenjun Bailian's cave for nearly half a year. Although Master Shizune clearly said that no one would disturb them in Gui Xiao Valley, as time goes by, it is inevitable that they will have long nights and many dreams. The reason why Xiao Mian stayed here was because he had obtained the cultivation method of the "Sanqing Bible" in the Golden Elixir Chapter and planned to retreat.
Now, Xiao Mian plans to leave.
Just because at this time, Xiao Mian has successfully advanced to the intermediate level of Jindan!
With a slight movement of his mind, Xiao Mian noticed the changes in the golden elixir in his dantian.
The golden elixir at this time was still the color of colorful glaze. From the outside, it was just a circle larger than the previous golden elixir, shaped like a walnut, and there was no other change. But as the owner of this golden elixir, Xiao Mian knew the changes inside the golden elixir.
The original golden elixir was just a polymer of true essence condensed to the extreme, but no matter how condensed, it was just a mass of liquid true essence; although most of the current golden elixir was also composed of liquid true essence, perhaps because Xiao Mian's true essence was too condensed, there were actually steel frame structures like golden wire inside the golden elixir, supporting the entire golden elixir inside, making it more stable and firm.
Looking more closely, the golden threads that appeared inside the golden elixir were clearly similar to the true essence running routes in the Golden Elixir Chapter of the Three Pure Ones Bible, but they were intermittent and incomplete, and the number was far less than the meridians in Xiao Mian's body. However, Xiao Mian suspected that when he advanced further in the future, these golden threads would be more complete and clear.
Xiao Mian even suspected that if he broke through to the high level of the golden elixir or even the top level of the golden elixir in the future, would his seven-color glazed golden elixir be composed entirely of solid matter...
Putting aside these future events, after the golden elixir's shape changed, Xiao Mian only felt that the true essence in his body was more handy, as if he had more spirituality.
In addition to the changes in this seven-color glazed golden elixir, the biggest change in Xiao Mian's body was that the number of his divine thoughts increased sharply, to 1,440!
After experiencing the resonance of the Buddhist practice with the little monk in Shanjian City, Xiao Mian found that splitting the divine consciousness was the fastest way to increase the number of divine consciousness, but the divine consciousness after splitting was extremely weak. If Xiao Mian did not have the immortal stone, it would be useless.
For example, now, although Xiao Mian has more than a thousand divine consciousnesses in his soul, most of them are extremely weak, and Xiao Mian has to put them into the immortal stone in batches.
But even so, it is enough for Xiao Mian to be happy.
If all these more than a thousand divine consciousnesses are fully nurtured, Xiao Mian's strength will surely be improved, and accordingly, he will be one step closer to condensing his divine consciousness.
As for the body refining, there is not much progress, but because of the refining of the Scorpion King Armor, Xiao Mian's physical defense is naturally stronger.
After breaking through to the middle stage of the Golden Core, Xiao Mian spent a lot of time to get familiar with his body, and only then opened his eyes today and broke through the barrier.
After summoning Qing Jing, the guardian beside him, Xiao Mian encouraged her.
Perhaps due to the practice of the "Heavenly Heart Sutra of Great Freedom", Qing Jing became more and more humane and less willing to stay in the storage bag. Xiao Mian did not regard the little guy as a spirit beast, so he let it stand on his shoulder and let it do whatever it wanted.
Taking out the Qingmu flying boat, Xiao Mian moved Gui Hai into it.
After a quick glance at the cave of Bailian Zhenjun, Xiao Mian saw that there was nothing valuable left, so he stepped into the flying boat and controlled it to rise slowly.
After a little thought, Xiao Mian did not go east as planned and leave Xishuzhou. Instead, he wandered around nearby and spent several days. Xiao Mian then learned the approximate location of Fox Ridge from a casual cultivator. Ignoring the casual cultivator's advice, Xiao Mian went straight to Fox Ridge - according to Xiao Mian's prediction: Chi Mei has been executed for nearly a few months, and Fox Ridge should be like Ghost Howl Valley, an empty nest.
Although it is unknown whether someone will take the lead and occupy the foundation of Fox Ridge and the wealth left by Chi Mei, judging from the deep fear of Fox Ridge by the person who showed the way before, this possibility is not great. Ghost Howl Valley and Fox Ridge have always been the two most dangerous places in the eastern suburbs of the Wild Cloud Desert. Ordinary cultivators will not set foot there unless necessary.
When Xiao Mian drove the flying boat to Fox Ridge, he realized that he was wrong - it was not that Fox Ridge was occupied by someone, but that everything was normal in Fox Ridge!
