Chapter Seventy-Five, Cornered
On the ladder of heaven, after an hour of hard work, Duoduo stopped at 10,500 steps. The powerful spirit pressure and soul pressure made him breathless, especially the soul pressure was more than double that of the 10,000th order, which made his soul feel very tired, as if he could sleep at any time.
Unable to hold on, the only thing Duoduo could do at this time was to meditate on the spot, and then take out the soul talisman from the storage bag and integrate it into the sea of knowledge. It's just that as his soul power cultivation reached the early stage of Jindan, the previous soul rune was not easy to use, and integrating a soul rune did not increase his soul power to the middle stage of Jindan.
Duoduo smiled bitterly, and then didn't count the soul talisman into the sea of knowledge. I don't know how long it took, Duoduo woke up from a daze, only to see that his soul power had reached the middle stage of Jindan.
Then he distracted himself and probed around, and found that the Great Ladder Array had closed for some time, and the crowd of onlookers had dispersed, leaving only the West Red Mountain that had been flattened by mana.
Duoduo opened his eyes, only to see that the entire ladder was gray, and he couldn't see anything at all. Even the stone steps looming at his feet, much to his surprise.
"What's going on, how long have I been confused?" said Duoduo to himself. But no one responded to him, and even Bai Mang fell into a deep sleep.
Duoduo was a little helpless, so he got up and continued to climb to the top of the ladder.
The spiritual pressure and soul pressure are still as strong as before, but the soul power cultivation has improved, and the soul pressure is no longer so uncomfortable.
After an hour, I climbed the 11,000 stone steps of the ladder in one breath. This is the effect of his soul power improvement, and then Duoduo no longer climbs blindly, but sits cross-legged and continues to improve his soul power cultivation.
So Hu Duoduo took out the remaining soul talisman and continued to integrate into the sea of knowledge, but there were still fifty soul talismans left in the storage bag, which made him a little helpless.
From the early stage of Jindan's soul power to the middle stage of Jindan, he unknowingly spent half of his soul rune, if he continues to improve his soul power, the remaining soul runes may not be enough.
"What should I do, if my soul power can't be improved, won't I be trapped here for a hundred years?"
Duoduo was a little worried, after all, this Heavenly Ladder Array was opened once in a hundred years, if he was really trapped for so long, what would happen to his six wives? Will he run away with other men.
Duoduo's thoughts were a little confused, and the most important thing now was how to escape from the ladder, rather than continue to climb the ladder.
Duoduo wanted to give up, so he got up and wanted to go down the ladder. But his idea is good, but the reality is that there is no turning back for him.
Seeing that the bottom of the ladder was blocked, he couldn't go down at all, so Duoduo wanted to leave and could only continue to climb the ladder.
"It's a big deal. "Duoduo put his heart horizontally, so he integrated the remaining soul talisman into the sea of knowledge.
An hour passed, and the soul talisman used was integrated into the sea of knowledge. As he had expected, the remaining fifty soul runes were not enough to increase his soul power, and I am afraid that he would need fifty more soul runes and might be able to continue to advance.
Duoduo was a little disappointed, at this time he really couldn't advance or retreat, if he continued to climb the ladder, I am afraid that he would soon fall into a coma if he persisted, and it may be safe to stay where he is, but how long will it take to continue to advance.
After thinking a lot, Duoduo suddenly thought of a place, which was the small spirit world.
So he took out the jade and tried to get into it. As the distraction entered the Receiving Jade, its distraction immediately entered the Holy City.
He was overjoyed, so he dispersed his distractions, and then returned to the Holy City with the soul bag and the light realm.
Since the distraction was able to enter the Holy City, his soul power cultivation could not be improved.
You must know that soul stones are the same as spirit stones, one can increase soul power, and the other can increase spiritual power, and the effect is similar.
Duoduo walked out of the Holy City, and then traveled lightly into the wilderness. At this time, he only had a soul sword in his hand, and this sword was the Traceless Soul Sword that Bai Mang had given him.
Duoduo's distraction has already been cultivated in the middle stage of Jindan, and it shouldn't be too dangerous to train in the wilderness around the Holy City.
Passers-by don't think it's unusual to see Duoduo practicing alone, because in their opinion, the Jindan period of solo training is the best time to sharpen people.
But for Duoduo, he had no choice.
Coming to the wilderness a hundred miles away from the Holy City, countless soul pigs foraged in the wild, and low-level soul grass was their staple food. Seeing Duoduo coming, these soul pigs didn't seem to be afraid, and continued to gnaw on the soul grass on the ground.
Duoduo smiled when he saw this, and then brought up the Traceless Killing Ring.
When no trace struck, these soul pigs fled in panic. But it's too late, Traceless is the best Horcrux in the mortal realm, and its power is amazing, although it can exert less than one-ten-thousandth of its power in Duoduo's hands, but it is more than enough to kill these low-level soul pigs.
I saw that Traceless turned into a streamer, and then killed the fleeing soul pig.
Everywhere the sword light went, a soul pig died unwillingly. In an instant, hundreds of soul pigs turned into black smoke and disappeared, leaving behind a number of lower-grade soul stones.
How much joy, and then absorb the soul stone into the distraction, and then the distraction's soul power cultivation is improved a little.
Duoduo This is to fight to feed the war, and all the soul stones obtained are absorbed and integrated into the distraction. Even the soul stone given to him by Master Long Yi before was all integrated into the distraction by Duoduo.
At this time, there were passers-by, and when they saw Duoduo so decisive, they were immediately frightened and avoided from afar. They didn't dare to approach Duoduo in case Duoduo made a rash move.
Duoduo grinned, didn't bother to care, and then continued to kill the soul pig.
I don't know how long it took, and I don't know how many soul pigs I killed, but I saw that Duoduo's distraction was getting stronger and stronger, and when the distraction was as strong as the soul power of the deity, the distraction began to feed back to the deity, which made the deity's soul power cultivation slowly improve.
More than two months have passed, and one day a news came from the Holy City, a hundred miles west of the Holy City, a madman in the Jindan stage wantonly slaughtered the soul pigs, causing the soul pigs in this area to drop sharply.
Some people didn't believe it, so they ran to investigate, and when they saw Duoduo's madness, they were too frightened to approach. Soon someone gave Duoduo the nickname "Butcher".
Because of the appearance of the butcher, the number of soul pigs around the Holy City has dropped significantly, causing other practitioners to complain.
After all, every sect has a task, and if the task is to kill the soul pig, then they will snatch the soul pig with the butcher.
It's just that there is no one better than the butcher, because wherever the butcher goes, the soul pig has long been slaughtered, or he does not know where to flee.
"His grandmother's, this butcher will not be eliminated for a day, when will our mission be completed?"
"That's it, this butcher is too non-human, why do you keep staring at the soul pig to kill, can't you kill anything else?"
"Haha, if you kill anything else, you won't be called a butcher, just a horseman or a cowman!"
......
In the holy city, a group of people were drinking soul tea in Yipinxiang and talking about it. But they talked about it, and none of the people present dared to do anything to the butcher.
Those monks with higher cultivation are too lazy to care, after all, the butcher kills soul pigs in the wild, what does this have to do with them?
As for the monks of the Jindan period, no one dared to provoke the butcher, because some people had already tried to challenge the butcher, and in the end they were severely taught a lesson. Fortunately, although the butcher was fierce, he had never killed the cultivator, otherwise the challenger would not have been able to return to the city alive to make a big declaration for him.
Just when this group of people were talking about the butcher, Duoduo's appearance changed, turning into a middle-aged man, and then sitting on a seat facing the street, and then called Xiao Er to bring him a pot of soul tea.
As the name suggests, this soul tea is a tea leaf that grows in the small spirit world, and Duoduo has not drunk it before, and by chance, Duoduo passed by a pint of incense, so he walked into the store. He saw that others were drinking soul tea very pleasantly, so he also ordered a pot to taste.
Since then, Duoduo has fallen in love with the soul tea here, and every time he is tired of killing the soul pig, he goes back to the city to drink a pot of soul tea, and then goes out of the city to kill the soul pig. I don't know how many times I have been going back and forth. By now, he is already a regular customer of Yipinxiang, but the store owner has never known that Duoduo is a famous butcher in the Holy City.
Duoduo listened to others call him a butcher, and he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart. If he doesn't work hard, he has been in the small spirit realm for two months, and he doesn't know how many soul pigs he has killed before he can improve his soul power to the late stage of Jindan.
However, this is also the last time he will kill the soul pig, and then he will disperse his distractions and continue to climb the ladder. By this point, he already knew how long he had been in a coma, a whole year, that is, more than a year had passed since the Ladder Challenge. Thinking about it a lot, he felt a little sad, he was just confused on the ladder for a while, and he didn't expect that a year had passed.
I really don't know how He Xiang and the others have been doing for more than a year, but the distraction can't go directly from the small spirit realm to the place outside the Heavenly Ladder Great Array, otherwise Duoduo doesn't mind being distracted to see these ladies.
After drinking soul tea, I dispersed my distractions, and then returned to the Great Ladder Array, and the bitter days of climbing the Ladder continued.
When the distraction returned, Duoduo got up and stretched his muscles. soaked in the small spirit world for two months, even immortals can't stand it.
On the 11,000-step stone steps, the spiritual pressure and soul pressure were still as strong as before, but as Duoduo's soul power cultivation was promoted to the late stage of Jindan, the soul pressure was no longer so uncomfortable. When his right foot stepped into the eleventh thousand and first order, the soul pressure did not make Duoduo confused.
He grinned, as expected, the most important thing to climb the ladder was soul power cultivation. If the soul can't withstand the soul pressure of the ladder, it will naturally be bounced away by the spiritual pressure of the ladder, and if the soul power is cultivated, it will naturally not be afraid of the threat of spiritual pressure.
At this time, Duoduo took advantage of his sanity, and then used the ladder spirit pressure to sharpen his meridians. With each level he ascended, the bones and meridians of his whole body were being tempered, and when he ascended the 11,500-step ladder, suddenly the meridians of his whole body expanded by one point, and then his spiritual power cultivation was promoted to the late stage of Jindan.
If other people knew that Duoduo had been promoted from the early stage of Jindan to the late stage of Jindan in just over a year, I am afraid that their eyes would fall with envy.
This is the so-called lost mulberry harvest of the east, Duoduo was trapped in the ladder and lost his personal freedom, but in exchange for the improvement of cultivation.
As Duoduo's spiritual power cultivation and soul power cultivation increased at the same time, it was easier to climb the ladder next. Distracted and looking inward, Duoduo found that in the Mud Pill Palace, the Mud Pill Pill was quietly changing.
I saw that the Mud Pill Pill was the size of a walnut, and countless golden lights were released from the Mud Pill Pill, as if a sun was illuminating the entire Mud Pill Palace.
In the outer layer of the Mud Pill Pill, the torrent of spiritual power seemed to be attracted and swallowed by the Mud Pill Pill, and then the Mud Pill Pill continued to increase.
When Duoduo's feet stepped on the 11,900th stone step, the Mud Pill Pill began to transform, and a humanoid form quickly formed.
"Is this the Yuan Baby?" Duoduo watched his Mud Pill Pill continue to transform into the Yuan Baby, not to mention how happy he was in his heart.
It's just that the spiritual pressure and soul pressure of the ladder are getting stronger and stronger, and Duoduo is sweating like rain at this time, and he has to temporarily return to Zhihai.
"I can't go up, so I can only make one last fight!" Duoduo was ruthless and decided to cross the catastrophe.
At this time, he had no way out, only by breaking through to the early stage of the Yuan Infant could he escape from the ascension to heaven, otherwise he could only wait for the Heavenly Ladder Array to open again after a hundred years.
A hundred years is too long, and I can't afford to wait. His women and friends can't afford to wait, at least a lot of friends Qiu Chengfeng can't wait for the next ladder to open.
After making a decision, Duoduo takes out the Meteorite suit and prepares for the catastrophe.
However, when he really decided to release Xiuwei, he suddenly found that his preparation was a little insufficient. After thinking about it for a while, I found that it was missing the aid of the elixir.
Thinking of this, Duoduo took out the Dan Furnace and began to refine the Dan Medicine.
The pills he wanted to refine were second-order blood-replenishing, qi-replenishing, and soul-replenishing pills, these three pills were indispensable when crossing the tribulation, and he almost forgot it because of recklessness before.
Open the furnace to make a fire, the alchemy furnace Duoduo uses the Heaven Splitting Ding, this is a third-order furnace Ding, only this kind of furnace Duoduoduo has the confidence to refine the second-order pill, otherwise he can't afford to fail.
There are no herbs to replenish in this heavenly ladder, and if the alchemy fails, it is equivalent to killing oneself, so it is extremely careful to refine the pills.
The first step is to extract the essence of the herb. There is no skill in this step, only proficiency or not.
With the improvement of Duoduo's soul power, the refining of the herb essence was more than ten times faster than before, and after an hour, all the herb essences of the one hundred blood replenishing pills were extracted.
The second step is to return the herb essence to the furnace. Because the difference between the second-order pill and the first-order pill is mainly in the efficacy, since the herbs extracted before Duoduo are the materials of the first-order blood tonifying pill, in order to refine the second-order blood tonifying pill, it is necessary to concentrate the first-order herb essence back into the furnace, and then further remove impurities.
This step took a bit long, and it took a lot of two hours to purify the essence of the plants and trees for the second time. Looking at the essence of plants and trees in the Dan furnace, Duoduo couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Because the essence of plants and trees in the furnace ding was only enough to refine two second-order lower-grade blood replenishing pills at most.
The third step is Ning Dan. At this time, Duoduo had no choice, even if he could only refine two second-order blood replenishing pills, he had to continue to condense the pills.
This time, thanks to the Splitting Heaven Ding, I saw the grass and tree crystals making a crackling sound in the Dan furnace, if it was an ordinary furnace ding, it would have exploded a long time ago, but the Split Heaven Ding actually forcibly condensed the grass and tree crystals together, and soon the two second-order blood replenishing pills were baked.
After refining two second-order blood replenishing pills, Duoduo began to find out the reason. You must know that the crystals of plants and trees will not make a sound easily, and if they make a sound, it is most likely that the essence of plants and trees is not purified enough.
Thinking of this, Duoduo's eyes suddenly lit up, so he refined the second-order Qi Replenishing Pill three times in the next step. Of course, the more times you purify, the more time you consume. When Duoduo refines the two second-order Qi Replenishing Pills, it will take a whole day.
Fortunately, this time when refining the Qi Replenishing Pill, no abnormal sound was found from the grass and tree crystals, otherwise Duoduo would have to continue to purify the essence of the herbs.
Three days later, the second-order blood, qi, and soul replenishing pills were all refined, with two pieces of each. Duoduo saw that they were regarded as treasures, and if the next tribulation was a small injury, he would definitely not take the pill.
You must know that such a cherished pill, every pill taken is probably equivalent to the annual financial income of a first-class county.
Duoduo put away the Dan furnace, and then looked at the last hundred ladders.
"Twelve thousand ladders, I'm coming!" Duoduo suddenly roared, and the entire ladder seemed to tremble.
