Chapter 5 The Long Road Ahead
Inside the inn.
Li Qingyun looked at the medium-grade spirit gathering array in front of him, which had all turned into powder, and couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face.
As the former chief disciple of Qingyang Palace, Li Qingyun's worth is also quite rich, and at least one hundred and eighty medium-grade spirit stones can still be taken out. But after he rebuilt Jindan, Li Qingyun found that the little worth he used to be was not enough at all. With his Jindan real person's physical body, there was naturally no obstacle to re-cultivating the Qi Refining Period, and the realm was even more rapidly improved. However, the total amount of terrifying aura required to refine the golden pill jade liquid made him have no way at all.
A low-grade spirit stone can provide about 1 point of aura, and a medium-grade spirit stone can provide about 100 points of aura.
However, the aura provided by the latter is a little purer!
If it is a low-level monk, the speed of absorbing low-grade spirit stones is definitely not as fast as using medium-grade spirit stones, but for a monk like Li Qingyun with a Jindan-level physical body, no matter what level of spirit stones it is, it is the same absorption.
Since the rise of the saying in the end of the Dharma era, the resources of the immortal cultivation world have become increasingly scarce!
The lower grade spirit stones are still easy to find, but there are not many medium grade spirit stones. As for the rarer high-grade spirit stones, they are often priceless, and only Jindan real-level immortal cultivators can have some on their bodies. Originally, Li Qingyun also had more than a dozen pieces on his body, but he used them all up when he was preparing to impact the Yuan Infant Stage, and now there are only some medium-grade spirit stones on his body.
After using up all the spirit stones!
Li Qingyun found that he had actually recovered the cultivation of the seventh layer of the Qi Refining Period, and if he wanted to be promoted to the tenth layer of the Qi Refining Period and achieve the conditions for impacting the foundation building period, there was at least a gap of thirty medium-grade spirit stones.
Not to mention that a large amount of aura is needed to replenish when completing the foundation building, other monks need to take the Tsukidan, and when they improve the realm, they use the medicinal properties of the aura that burst out of the Tsukidan to refine their bodies. When Li Qingyun entered the Qi Refining Period, the aura he needed was already nearly a hundred times that of them, and the aura that he needed to refine his physical body when he was building a foundation was even more terrifying, and it was very likely that he would have to swallow a hundred Zhuji Dan at once!
Such a terrible consumption.
Even if he is a former Jindan real person, he can't bear it at all.
It's okay to say more than thirty medium-grade spirit stones, after all, Li Qingyun still has some magic weapons on his body, and he can exchange them for one or two pieces with a little shot.
But the problem of Tsukidan is very troublesome!
First of all, this kind of pill is not easy to refine, even if it is a high-grade alchemist, a furnace of Zhuji Dan can only be refined into a dozen or so.
However, the amount of elixir consumed was quite large, which also led to the high price of Tsukidan. Even if it is a big faction like Qingyang Palace, a disciple who enters the room can only give two Zhuji Dan at most. There is only one ordinary disciple, and if he fails, he can only find a way to get Tsukidan by himself. Li Qingyun has the physical body of a Jindan real person, and it is unlikely that the foundation building will fail, but the value of a hundred Zhuji Dan is almost equivalent to the consumption of all the disciples of a sect.
According to the current price of the Immortal Cultivation Realm, one Tsukidan is about ten medium-grade spirit stones, and one hundred Tsukidan is one thousand medium-grade spirit stones.
It is about equal to ten high-grade spirit stones, which is equivalent to Li Qingyun Jindan's spirit stone savings for so many years!
Moreover.
Although cultivating immortals consumes a lot of resources now, not many people really rely on spirit stones to accumulate spiritual energy.
Ordinary immortal cultivators still mainly meditate and cultivate, but they will look for some mountain gates and caves full of spiritual energy. Even the chief true disciple of the sect like Li Qingyun would only cooperate with the elixir spirit stone to break through when he broke through the realm. Other times, it is more often to use spirit stones to arrange the spirit gathering array, and with the help of the power of spirit stones to form a vortex, condensing the surrounding spiritual energy together.
However, Li Qingyun needed too much aura!
According to his own estimates, if he wanted to rely on himself to meditate and cultivate without the help of the aura of external objects, it would be impossible for him to reach the realm of the tenth layer of the qi refining period without twenty or thirty years.
"Jindan Jade Liquid!"
Li Qingyun operated a trace of golden pill jade liquid in his body, silently thinking about the future direction.
Originally, he still had a stream of golden pill jade liquid in his body, but that was the exercise he had once practiced, and after entering the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, he fused thousands of different foundation-building methods to create a new exercise for himself. The purpose of this exercise is to build a more perfect foundation, and at every stage, you can cultivate the realm to the extreme. There are a lot of such exercises, but no one is really willing to spend more than ten years to raise one realm to the limit, and then they begin to impact the next realm.
But Li Qingyun is different, at most, he can only cultivate to the Jindan stage, and naturally there are not so many realms to improve!
Then he will inevitably need to work the previous realm.
Even considering his future cultivation, it is very likely that he will not be able to advance an inch after reaching the Jindan stage, and he will have to cultivate the Jindan again.
Therefore, Li Qingyun called this self-created exercise - "Nine Turns of the Golden Pill Jue"!
According to his own calculations after sorting out a large number of Dao law books, his current realm should be in the second turn Jindan, if he can re-cultivate to the peak of the Jindan stage, then he can easily deal with the monks of the god transformation stage with the body of an immortal. Even, if the foundation is more perfect, even if it is against the True Monarch Monk in the Merge Period, there is no problem in the slightest. As for the later three turns of the Golden Pill, due to his lack of sufficient understanding now, he was unable to estimate the changes produced by the third condensation of the Golden Pill.
"Looks like we're going to have to go to a mirage. ”
After Li Qingyun destroyed the traces of the Zhongpin Gathering Spirit Array, he walked towards the outside of Jingzhou City.
Because the resources of the immortal cultivation world are becoming increasingly scarce, and there are fewer and fewer trading places set up in the inland areas, a large number of immortal cultivators have turned their attention to overseas immortal islands.
At present, the largest trading places in the Immortal Cultivation Realm are almost all concentrated in the coastal areas.
This mirage is one of the most famous exchanges among them!
It is said that the people behind them are a group of overseas scattered immortals, and their strength is unfathomable, even if the head of Qingyang Palace, Xuyang Real People, is right, they may not be able to get any benefits.
According to the fragment of the "Kyushu Chronicles", there was a great battle between immortals and demons about 30,000 years ago.
That great battle directly led to the sinking of the land of Kyushu, which made other immortal cultivation sects have to migrate to the current continent. The current continent is said to have been called Nakashu in the past, and it is only a state on the land of Kyushu. Since that war, the figures of immortals have rarely appeared in the immortal cultivation world, and the only ones they can encounter are some overseas scattered immortals who cannot soar. The current lack of resources in the immortal cultivation world is said to be inseparable from that great war.
The sunken continent is covered in seawater, and countless overseas monsters are entrenched here.
However, from time to time, some special islands emerge, or a rare spiritual treasure is born, and most of the current power in the immortal cultivation world is concentrated in exploring the underwater caves and overseas immortal islands.
..................
There is also an exchange near the city of Jingzhou.
However, it has decayed a lot now, because in the entire inland area, except for the 100,000 mountains, there are still many immortal cultivators gathered, and almost all the other mountains, rivers and caves have been explored by immortal cultivators.
Although Li Qingyun was completely unable to fly, he still had a distance of more than ten zhang when he stepped out.
After leaving the mortal city, he made his way at a rapid pace, and soon went deep into the vast mountains. In the depths of this mountain range lies a strange peak, a sword-like peak that reaches into the sky, a place that is difficult for mortals to reach. But it was very easy for immortal cultivators, and Li Qingyun directly swayed up and came to the top of the mountain hundreds of zhang high.
The top of the mountain seemed to have been cut off by a sword, leaving behind a platform thousands of zhang wide, on which many ancient buildings were built.
There weren't many people inside.
Li Qingyun barely saw many cultivators, and the highest realm among them was only in the early stage of the Void Dan.
The number of immortal cultivators is not much, and there are even fewer of them who can build a foundation, except for some great sects like Qingyang Palace, which have been inherited for thousands of years, other immortal cultivators are at most only the cultivation of the Yuan infant stage. Even, in recent years, there have been many real people in the Jindan stage in the immortal cultivation world who have also started sects, and many small sects have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Li Qingyun looked around, and then found a place to put the magic weapon he wanted to sell.
For such a withered exchange, there are no decent magic shops and auction houses. Almost all of the people who come here are down-and-out cultivators, and they sell some middle and lower grade magic weapons.
Originally, Li Qingyun, who was only at the seventh level of the Qi Refining Period, did not attract anyone's attention at all.
But when he took out a high-grade magic weapon with a flowing glow, it immediately attracted the attention of all the monks nearby.
"Top-grade magic weapon?!"
A large number of exclamations rang out all around, and then some malicious eyes were cast on them.
Li Qingyun immediately realized that he had done something wrong.
That is, he only has the cultivation of the seventh layer of the Qi refining period now, and he is not the Jindan real person he used to be.
If he was still a Jindan real person, even if he took out a spiritual weapon casually, it might not attract any covetous eyes. But now he looked like a beginner monk, and he took the liberty of taking out a high-grade magic weapon, which almost immediately aroused the greed of the others.
If it weren't for someone here to maintain it, I'm afraid someone would have already killed people and seized the treasure!
But.
Even so, there were still people who gathered over with a look on their faces.
"Sure enough, if you don't have enough strength, you have all kinds of troubles. ”
Li Qingyun was not afraid in his heart, but he couldn't help frowning slightly, fortunately, what he took out was only a high-grade magic weapon, if he took out any treasure and spiritual weapon, I am afraid that someone would already be unable to help but do something to him.
A gray-faced Taoist was the first to speak.
His cultivation seems to be in the late stage of foundation building, and his cultivation is the highest among those present.
This gray-faced Daoist looked like a loose cultivator, and he looked like he was about forty or fifty years old, and it was estimated that he was no longer young when he successfully built the foundation. Looking at the aura of cultivation on his body, it is faintly a little mixed and obscure, I am afraid that the cultivation exercises are also very complicated, and there seem to be some evil arts in it. If nothing else, it is impossible for this person to break through to the Void Pill Stage in his lifetime.
He squeezed out a stiff smile and said to Li Qingyun, "This fellow Daoist!"
"I don't know how you're going to sell this magic weapon?"
