Zhang Yuan looked at his body inwardly and found that the Dao mark that enveloped the entire body was missing a piece, and it was slowly recovering, and he realized something in his heart.

The fundamental reason why the condensation stage monk was ineffective in attacking himself was that the magical effect of these heaven and earth characters completely resisted the damage of this layer. And the foundation building monks with higher realm levels were able to break through this obstacle and really threaten themselves.

In other words, the damage caused by the other party to himself has also been reduced by a layer, if there is no protection of the body of the holy monk, this finger can kill him!

......

After poking out that finger, Gao Yangjin saw Zhang Yuan bleeding and injured, and his first reaction was to breathe a long sigh of relief.

Immediately, the previous attitude of equal treatment disappeared immediately, and he became a little self-contained. But he was not as indifferent as he was at the beginning, obviously treating him as a fellow practitioner one level lower than the realm.

"Do you know that even if a monk in the early stage of Qi Condensation receives my finger, he will definitely die of a rotten stomach?" Gao Yangjin said lightly.

It will be injured and bleed, which means that this person is not what he thinks, no matter what monk can get close to, he can't hurt him even the slightest.

For this reason, Gao Yangjin secretly laughed at himself for making a fuss, there are more eccentric and strange bones, and it is impossible for a person to subvert the Dao of Xiuzhen.

However, this son can ignore the damage of the condensation period, and even the damage of the spell in the foundation building period has been reduced a lot, although there is no spiritual root, but relying on the qi sea expanded by the elixir, if it is cultivated to the third layer of condensation, then the next action may be able to play a big role......

Thinking of this, Gao Yangjin made a suggestion to solicit him, giving him a copy of the "Qi Condensing Immortal Sutra" and a bottle of Qi Condensing Pill, and at the same time asked him to work for it for the next three years.

Zhang Yuan agreed, and asked for some books on the common knowledge of the cultivation realm, and after returning to the cave, a trace of profound murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

He was not a person in the cultivation world in the first place, he didn't care about the strict barriers between the realms, and for the damage caused by Gao Yangjin's "natural" test, if he was a low-level cultivator, he might still be grateful for the cultivation grace of the other party, but for him, this was a life-threatening event, enough to remember it deeply in his heart.

After reciting the Buddhist scriptures silently to heal the injury, when the wound began to close, Zhang Yuan opened his eyes and looked at the old book on the ground, which he solemnly opened in a pilgrimage-like mood.

Perhaps, this is the beginning of my immortal path?!

The first thing that catches your eye is the introduction of "Linggen".

If there is a spirit, there will be immortals, and if there is no spirit, this is almost an iron law.

The spiritual root cannot be seen, cannot be touched, is intangible, and it can also be said that the entire human body is a spiritual root, which determines the speed of cultivation, the time it takes to break through the bottleneck, and the upper limit of what you can reach!

Life is born short, whether you can break through the barriers in your lifetime, increase your lifespan, and walk longer and longer on the Immortal Road depends on whether your cultivation speed can exceed the limit of your lifespan!

Otherwise, people will die! All efforts will be turned into a handful of ashes.

People with poor spiritual roots, no matter how hard they work the day after tomorrow, they will not be able to break through this shackle, and all achievements will be nailed to the general horizontal line.

It's so cold, and it's unforgiving.

But there is a deficiency in the way of heaven, and one of them is gone, and this "one" is a variable, a variety of chances and adventures. As long as you encounter it, then you have grasped the variables and vitality of this "one".

There are also advantages and disadvantages of spiritual roots, and the general test of spiritual roots is to observe the five elements of yin and yang of their people, and the more balanced and full the balance and fullness of these seven attributes, the more full they are, the better the spiritual roots.

The five elements and yin and yang, if both are the best, then they are the upper three spiritual roots. The second is the middle three products, and the next three products.

Zhang Yuan was not a good product, he didn't have any qualifications at all, and only by relying on the medicinal effect of Zhixian did he have the upper limit of the cultivation of the third layer of condensation.

However, it is only the upper limit, if you really want to cultivate to the third layer of condensation, I don't know how much time it will take.

......

In the following days, Zhang Yuan closed himself in the cave, and posed with his heart facing the sky according to the illustrations and mantras in the book, to feel and absorb the aura between heaven and earth.

The Qi Condensation Period is the initial beginning of the Long Immortal Road, and it takes a total of nine layers and four levels to advance to the next realm.

From zero to one level, it is one level, from the third layer to the fourth layer, it is the second level, from the sixth layer to the seventh layer, it is the third level, and from the ninth layer to the foundation, it is the fourth level.

Every level is a bottleneck, especially when it comes to building the foundation, and it is a difficult transition to the big realm. Whether it can break through or not, and how long it will take to break through, depends entirely on the merits of the spiritual root, except for some auxiliary formations or heavenly treasures.

Once the condensation period is broken, this marks the official departure from the realm of mortals, and the maximum lifespan will increase by one to two hundred years depending on the spiritual root.

As time passed, Zhang Yuan's consciousness was completely immersed in heaven and earth, and he was surprised to find that the air that seemed to be nothing was filled with so much "qi".

Condensing Qi is to collect these spiritual qi and incorporate them into his own qi sea, which is the first level he has to face.

It's just that he tried for a long time according to the mantra in the book, and the wisps of aura were willing to listen to his command, and slowly floated towards him, but when he entered the sea of qi, it seemed to be like hitting a layer of diaphragm, and most of the aura was dispersed, and only the extremely small part entered the sea of qi.

Zhang Yuan's heart sank, and Zhixian's expanded qi sea was not big, but it was not small. If it goes on like this, you won't be able to complete this step in a year or two, and this is the consequence of not having a spiritual root!

"Could it be...... I have worked hard to become a holy monk and a yang god, and my help is only limited to the root bones?"

His heart suddenly moved, and he looked at the situation of those people in the surrounding caves with the vision of the Yang God, only to see stream-like spiritual energy of varying thicknesses trickling into their bodies, and if you compare the amount of spiritual energy he has collected to it, it is tantamount to droplets of water.

Zhang Yuan looked to the other side again, and saw that the aura around that person was like a great river of the Yangtze River, surging into his body, more than ten times that of others!

Suddenly, the man looked over with a sense of confusion, it was Gao Yang Jin!

Zhang Yuan's heart sank, and he hurriedly retracted his gaze, and his soul body returned to its place, not daring to look at the other party again.

Compared with this person, it was simply the difference between a grasshopper and a mountain! He was a little discouraged for a while, and all kinds of encounters in his previous life came to his mind.

But his eyes quickly re-firmed, put aside the distracting thoughts in his heart, and continued to collect the aura between heaven and earth, even if the speed was only equal to one-ten-thousandth of that of others!

If you give up, there will be no turning point in the future.

......

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, another month was passed.

Zhang Yuan took advantage of the time when he went down the mountain to buy food, took out one of the Qi Condensing Pills given by Gao Yang Jin, and quietly bounced it into a dish in a roadside wine shop, and then watched the man eat it, and then carefully observed it with the vision of the soul body, and saw that the pill slowly melted in the stomach, turning into a trace of spiritual power and dispersing into the entire body, so he left with confidence.

Although that person did not open up the sea of qi, and his spiritual power could only be dispersed into the entire body, his body was much stronger because of this, and he could not easily get sick.

Back in the cave at the top of the mountain, Zhang Yuan took the Qi Condensing Pill and repeated the homework he had been doing.

When the medicinal power was dissipated, a trace of spiritual power quickly entered the sea of qi, and he was pleased to find that the speed was at least ten times that of his own collection!

It's just that it's not as pure as the spiritual power between heaven and earth, and it seems to be mixed and impure.

Relying on pills to cultivate is a helpless choice for many cultivators who lack spiritual roots, but this is the way to go down, and the hidden dangers left behind will make it more difficult to advance to the next level, and even completely cut off the way forward.

Unless it is a Heavenly Treasure-level material refining the Best Pill Pill, it will not have a negative effect, which is also the reason why many monks flock to it and do not hesitate to come across the border.

As for this bottle of Qi Condensing Pill, it will naturally not be a good material to refine, although Gao Yang Jin has some intention of attracting it, but he will not be stupid enough to put down too much capital, and he is more interested in using it.

At this time, there was a laughing female voice outside the cave, obviously someone couldn't bear the loneliness of Qing Xiu and came out to hang out.

"Look at this mortal, he is really in a serious cultivation, laughing to death. ”

The two women passed by the entrance of the cave and found Zhang Yuan sitting in a precarious position, so they couldn't help laughing again, muttering and discussing.

"Brother Gao Yang's methods are powerful, a book of popular exercises on a roadside stall, a bottle of the cheapest Qi Condensing Pill can be bought. ”

"So what's the matter, this is already a blessing that he has cultivated for several lifetimes. ”

"Hee-hee-hee-hee....... ”

The second daughter gradually walked away, and all kinds of mean language gradually dissipated into the air.
