Chapter 195: Shen Yuan

One day, fifty years later, there was a loud rumbling noise in one of the attics of the Black Lion Castle, and then the attic suddenly collapsed, causing some nearby monks to immediately gather around curiously to see what was going on. Not long after, a gray-faced condensing monk crawled out of the deep pit, apologized to the people around him, and explained that it was this person who practiced secret arts but forgot to open the attic prohibition, which caused the attic to collapse and be destroyed. Only then did everyone suddenly realize and point and leave, only one of the late stage disciples of Ning Ling urged the guy who had just climbed out to go to the sect management office to pay for damaging the attic.

This sloppy spirit condensation disciple was none other than Gu Xiaowu, who did not hesitate to spend a lot of materials spirit stones and elixirs for the sake of spirit condensation, and practiced hard for decades to successfully advance the spirit condensation. Just now he was testing a treasure in his hand, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful that he directly destroyed the attic ban along with the attic. No, he had to go to the sect trading building first, sell a few precious materials and exchange them for spirit stones, and then go to the place managed by the sect of Black Lion Castle to pay the compensation fee and rent another attic.

After dealing with the trouble caused by this accident, Gu Xiaowu found a new place to live and moved in, and after sorting out the spirit stones and material classics in his hand, he lay on the bed and pondered.

Although it has only been more than a hundred years, the resources in his hand have not been consumed, not only have the materials prepared for condensing the spirit into pills have been consumed, but the ten thousand year elixir in those space rings has also been consumed, and the 300,000 spirit stones that were originally quite abundant have been used up earlier, and he has sold more than half of the cherished refining materials to ensure the consumption of spirit stones for ordinary cultivation.

In the past hundred years, he has not only consumed the resources of a personal disciple to advance the spirit condensation, but also the resources of a spirit disciple to advance to the pill, and he has not even kept those ten thousand year elixirs. But Xiao Wu didn't regret it at all, and he was extremely satisfied, after all, he finally advanced to the peak of the late stage of Ning Ling and quickly rose to the peak of the late stage of Ning Ling, which is many times faster than ordinary disciples.

It takes a lot of resources to cultivate from building a cave to condensing the spirit itself, which not only needs to have the spirit stone resources for improving cultivation, but also has the precious resources to build a nest in the dantian to impact the condensing spirit, and the average ordinary sect disciple needs at least two or three hundred years to accumulate enough resources to impact the condensing spirit, but it is easier for those sect disciples who have passed it on, but it takes at least three or four hundred years to impact the Cheng Dan.

The biggest hero in the late stage of advanced condensation was Fusheng, and the three little guys were sleeping and comprehending the cultivation exercises, but they passed on a message to Xiao Wu, who was struggling to cultivate, that they needed a 10,000-year elixir to speed up their comprehension and cultivation. As soon as he heard this, he immediately became interested, he hadn't heard that they still needed to use foreign objects for cultivation before, didn't they usually only need elixir when recovering from injuries? But Xiao Wu didn't wake up the three guys to ask, and directly ate a small section of the 10,000-year-old elixir, and what he returned to himself was a large amount of pure spiritual power and powerful medicinal effects. For that pure spiritual power, Gu Xiaowu is very welcome, as long as a little refining will be transformed into his own mana, although they can't immediately become their own exercises, the true yuan exists in the spirit, but they can become pure mana and disperse it into the body, saving his penance accumulation. As for the 10,000-year-old medicinal power, Xiao Wu could only forcibly endure it, and when all the elixirs of more than 10,000 years were swallowed, there was an extra layer of weird patterns on the outside of Gu Xiaowu's spiritual acupoint, which was covered with the patterns of the green ayamu, which was very strange, but it did not affect his cultivation.

After swallowing a 10,000-year-old elixir, Gu Xiaowu saved at least three years of penance, and after eating more than 300 10,000-year-old elixirs in his hand, he was equivalent to saving more than 900 years of penance time, during which he not only succeeded in condensing the spirit but also advanced to the peak of the later stage one after another. It's a pity that his cultivation method is a bit special, and the large amount of spiritual power of more than 300 10,000-year-old elixirs can only push himself to get here after the condensation of the exercises, and if he wants to break through to Chengdan, he also needs more mana and a batch of materials and pills that can help break through the bottleneck.

The mysterious stone pillar is not the true face of this heavy treasure, its surface is composed of a thick layer of five elements attribute materials, and this inconspicuous five elements material is a precious material that has a great effect on the condensation, providing enough guarantee for Xiao Wu to successfully advance the condensation, and also provides support for the continued advancement of the condensation spirit.

With the support of both mana and materials, Gu Xiaowu's path to advancement finally went all the way, taking a small part of the 10,000-year-old elixir to restore the refining mana after refining the materials and building the cave, and continuing to refine the materials and build the cave after recovering the mana. In the boring repeated cultivation, Gu Xiaowu successfully broke through the condensation, and he also collected information from the sect's trading attic for what to do after condensing the spirit, and it was a long time of penance after that.

When twenty years ago, not long after the rapid advancement to the late stage, the elixir in his hand was exhausted, and the stone pillar material was also thoroughly refined and absorbed by Xiao Wu, leaving behind a stalagmite with a six-foot length and wrist thickness, the tip and body of the bamboo shoot were smooth, only the bottom was oblate, and the tip of the bamboo shoot and the body of the bamboo shoot were densely covered with strange patterns, which set off the mystery. This thing doesn't have the same heavy feeling as it used to be, but if you inject a trace of mana into it, it will become extremely heavy, and there are also many magical characteristics that have been excavated by Gu Xiaowu little by little. Although Gu Xiaowu didn't find out the origin and name of this thing, he also knew that it must be an amazing material, which was suitable for himself who had reached the late stage of condensation.

Although the disciples of the condensation period are still considered to be low-level disciples by most monks, their physique and mana have changed in essence with the disciples of the cave building, and every time they step into a level of cultivation, their divine consciousness and mana will increase exponentially, but after condensing the spirit, the divine consciousness mana has increased by nearly five times, and the reason is naturally related to the condensation of mana in the dantian in the body. Xiao Wu's dantian was the same, surrounded by a thick layer of condensed crystal mana shield around his spiritual acupoint, this shield was very large and almost occupied his dantian, and those various mana wire nets that were originally woven for the purpose of condensing the spirit had also disappeared after being wrapped in the condensed mana. And the space inside the condensation shield is not small, but most of it is filled with black and white mana true elements, which is why the mana will increase greatly. This is not surprising to Gu Xiaowu, the most wonderful thing is that in this condensed shield, mana and divine thoughts can be fused with each other to produce more spiritual mana, these mana contain their own ideas and a trace of mana true element, which can be activated almost as you like, far from those ordinary mana comparable, and these mana are difficult to be dispersed by external forces, a trace of spiritual mana can urge a large amount of ordinary mana. What's even more rare is that it is difficult to escape outside the body, and you can also mobilize a small amount of aura around you for your own use temporarily, just like dominating the aura around you.

Gu Xiaowu also checked the information, and knew that if a disciple in the Spirit Condensation Stage wanted to successfully advance to Cheng Dan, he needed to meet three conditions, the first was of course the accumulation of mana in the body, not only the true source of mana in the spirit acupoint and the 'imitation of the spirit', but also the mana in the body must also reach the peak. The second is that the 'imitation spirit acupoint' formed by condensing the spirit must continue to use various materials and pure mana to solidify, and in the end, it will naturally turn into its own inner pill and advance to the stage of becoming a pill. In the end, it is necessary to use his divine consciousness to cultivate his own divine element in his 'imitation spirit***, which is the product of the fusion of his divine thoughts and mana true yuan, otherwise even if the inner pill is good, it is just a death pill without the slightest spirituality.
