Five days later.

Qiandu Peak.

"Seeking the Tao and eternal life, as the heavens will descend on people, they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they are tempted to endure and benefit what they cannot."

Since bringing the aura ring, Zhang Qiudao danced with death, repeatedly testing on the edge of life and death.

It took dozens of dangerous lives, four awakening spirit pills, two spirit pills to save lives, and scars all over his body to survive the first nine deaths and all kinds of pain.

Facts have once again proved that the willpower that people explode in the face of death is beyond their imagination.

Zhang Qiudao successfully survived, but he didn't live well.

When Xiang Lingxi came to visit secretly, when he saw Zhang Qiudao again, the whole person was shocked.

The robes were torn, there were scars everywhere on his body, and his eyes were full of murderous intent and anger.

He walked staggeringly, and seemed to be blown down by a gust of wind at any moment.

Then, Zhang Qiudao sat on the ground with a dry throat, and he didn't even have the strength to speak.

Only the faint and still rhythmic sound of breathing told Xiang Lingxi that he was not dead.

Xiang Lingxi fell beside Zhang Qiudao and said pityingly:

"I've already understood, as long as you don't cultivate and don't confront the magic circle of Qiandu Peak, you won't have anything."

"You are a mortal with no hope of immortality, why should you pursue the martial arts that have not yet been achieved?"

"From ancient times to the present, there have been countless martial arts geniuses who have used their lives to prove that the path of martial arts immortality is wrong."

"If you are worried about the Seven Sects in a few months, Zhu Yan and I will give you the talisman when the time comes, and we will come to protect you as soon as you enter the formation."

"No matter how high the martial arts cultivation is, it is the same for immortal cultivators, the true qi is loose and lacks changes, and it is only stupid to use manpower to attract celestial phenomena, and it can't stop spells at all."

In the face of Xiang Lingxi's persuasion, Zhang Qiudao tried to breathe and calm his emotions.

He didn't know how to answer Xiang Lingxi.

He has too many secrets to tell.

In the end, Zhang Qiudao, who had regained some strength, said slowly in a hoarse voice:

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine. There are some things that I will never have a chance to do if I don't do them, and even if I die, I don't want to have regrets. ”

"You ......"

Xiang Lingxi raised his hand and wanted to plead hard, but finally his hand stopped in the air and took out a spirit pill from the Qiankun bag.

"Swallow!"

Looking at the elixir fed to his mouth, Zhang Qiudao swallowed it with mixed tastes in his heart.

A little bit of medicine nourishes the body and repairs the injured area quickly.

"I can tell you, this elixir is to be returned, didn't you say that you don't want to have regrets when you die? You can't die and still owe me the elixir, can you? Stop working so hard! ”

In the end, she left a bottle of elixir to Lingxi, as well as the food and water that Jin Bujue had entrusted her, and left without staying long.

Zhang Qiudao regained some strength under the nourishment of the Yun Ling Pill, stood up and watched Xiang Lingxi leave.

"I owe a lot of debts."

Zhang Qiudao put away the things on the ground, and arranged Xiao Zhou Tian's hidden gossip array on the spot, as well as a five-element sword magic array.

On weekdays, he is reluctant to eat a elixir, and only uses it to save his life at critical times.

This one naturally can't be wasted.

The Five Elements Sword Formation smelted Dao bones, and the hot and invisible firepower made Zhang Qiudao feel like he was in a melting pot.

The Dao bones, which were closely connected to the bones of his whole body, were melting.

In this difficult cultivation process, Zhang Qiudao was as stable as an old dog's mana mana, and built another fourfold magic circle based on the small dissolving sword array in his body.

It has been more than a few months since I started to cultivate the Fifth Folded Sword Transformation Sword of the Sword Cultivation Method.

Although most of his time and energy were not spent on swordsmanship, in order to refine the Dao bones, he was also ripe, and the problems that should have been encountered had also been encountered.

As long as the conflict between the circles is overcome, everything will be in order.

The elixir nourishes the body and reduces the pain caused by cultivation.

Zhang Qiudao was able to concentrate more on mind control mana.

Soon, the first circle was formed, the second, and the third.

During this time, Zhang Qiudao's will and spirit were tempered again, and the originally extremely difficult construction became easy.

It wasn't until the fourth formation, the five magic circles, merged with each other, that the inevitable conflict became intense.

The circle did not work smoothly, and wisps of mana were like magnets repelling each other.

Stagger.

What Zhang Qiudao can do is to persevere and not let the magic circle collapse.

In this process, the cloud ring lent to him by Qingfengzi played a crucial role.

If there is no cloud ring adjustment, the time that Zhang Qiudao needs to hold on to is multiplied geometrically.

At the same time, the Five Elements Sword Formation arranged in advance by the outside world also allowed the Sword Transformation Array in Zhang Qiudao's body to operate instead of stagnating.

And so it goes, until the sun gradually rises.

Zhang Qiudao reluctantly let the Five Elements Sword Array barely operate, no longer crumbling, not touching and collapsing.

Just when the dawn of hope came, a situation that made Zhang Qiudao helpless and worried appeared.

Because he was cultivating, the black shadow came as promised.

In the face of the oncoming rain of swords, Zhang Qiudao dodged in embarrassment, put away Xiao Zhoutian's hidden gossip array, and turned the five elements into a sword array.

The Five Elements Sword Circle in his body began to stagnate.

"Bell Bell Bell ......"

Zhang Qiudao resisted the stormy sword qi on the one hand, and stabilized the Five Elements Sword Formation on the other hand, and he also had to bear the pain caused by the conflict between the two Formation in the body and cultivation.

Single-mindedly multitasking, let Zhang Qiudao be in danger, and take care of one and lose the other.

At this time, the aura that brought Zhang Qiudao a life-and-death crisis before actually played a vital role.

The Qi Ring weakens the speed of Zhang Qiudao's mana.

It also caused the Five Elements Sword Formation in Zhang Qiudao's body not to collapse all at once, so that Zhang Qiudao could make up for the gap in time.

This may be the two sides of everything.

Even bad luck, infinite darkness, has a glimmer of life.

Relying on the mana given by the Qi Ring to delay, Zhang Qiudao persevered.

At this juncture of breakthrough, because of this little luck, he survived a day of black shadow chasing and retained the five-fold five-element sword array in his body.

In the end, in the middle of the night of the second day, relying on the adjustment of the cloud ring, the promotion of the Xiaorong Sword Array was completed.

As the operation of the Five Elements Sword Array was on the right track, the Dao bones in Zhang Qiudao's body were also undergoing transformation.

Wisps of evil qi that were invisible to the naked eye were swallowed up by his body, and they were integrated into every part of the Dao bone through the Five Elements Sword Array.

The disordered light of the five elements in the Dao bones had been a little more symbiotic because of the Spirit Gathering Array before.

Now, there is a five-element sword magic array to promote, and substantial changes have taken place.

The red color representing the genus of fire presents the image of encroachment and inclusiveness, engulfing the light of metal, wood, water and earth, forming a pattern of fire swallowing the four elephants.

Zhang Qiudao felt that the heaven and the earth were wide, and the aura of heaven and earth, which was originally extremely difficult to perceive, had become more delicate in his current perception.

In this delicacy, he felt the activity of fire.

"The Dao bone is against the spiritual root, and now the essence of the Dao bone has changed, what is the spiritual root of the Dao bone that is now the target......

It is also a spiritual root, and it is also divided into super quality, excellent quality, upper, middle, lower and inferior products.

The Five Elements Sword Dao Bone shaped by Zhang Qiudao is just a pseudo-spiritual root that is inferior to the standard miscellaneous spirit root, but it is not even as good as the miscellaneous spirit root.

Zhang Qiudao was dreaming that if the Dao bones could become stronger and the essence could be improved, would his cultivation be easier, and he would be able to do it faster.

However.

This was just a dream, even if he had cultivated to the third repainting method of the Qi Cultivation Realm, the Five Elements Sword Demon Dao Bone still did not change its essence.

He flipped through the books in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion of the Outer Gate of the Qinglian Sect, but there was no introduction to the Five Elements Sword Demon Dao Bone or other pseudo-spiritual roots.

Just when he had already given up on this idea.

You must know that from ancient times to the present, the spiritual root is destined by heaven and earth, and there is no record of changing the essence of the spiritual root.

Immortal cultivators have used all means to create fundamental laws, magic weapons, spells, magic circles, spirit pills, talismans, and even spirit beasts, etc., but they only use external objects to make up for the lack of spiritual roots.

But Zhang Qiudao saw that in his body, the fire swallowed the four elephants, like a low-grade spiritual root.

His perception and control of the aura of heaven and earth have indeed improved.

The essence of his Dao bones has really changed.

All this subverted his long-standing perception of Dao bones.

Dao bones are acquired.

Acquired products do not have the superiority of innate products, they are not as perfect as spiritual roots, and they are full of defects and loopholes.

But the acquired product has something that innate things do not have, that is, the potential for unlimited growth.

The spiritual root cannot change the essence.

As an acquired product, the Dao bone can!

Thinking about this, Zhang Qiudao had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

"Who said that mortals can't cultivate immortals, who said ......!!!"

Zhang Qiudao felt that his heart was about to jump out, and he wanted to vent his joy to the world.

However, Zhang Qiudao understands that now is not the time to be complacent.

Since he can change the essence of the Dao bone, he must have done it before.

But the pseudo-spiritual root cultivator is still designated as a demon cultivator, and he has never heard a clear record of the immortality of the pseudo-spiritual root cultivator.

There must be, then, a serious flaw that he is not aware of.

After Zhang Qiudao tried to calm down his emotions, he took out his copy of "Detailed Explanation of Linggen" from Qiankun bag, and compared Linggen with his own situation.

"The lower grade spiritual root, the five elements are incomplete, and it is outstanding. My gold, earth, and water still exist, and they are still chaotic, but the fire swallows the four elephants, and the gold, wood, fire, and earth become a part of the fire, which is indeed in line with the lower grade spiritual root! ”

"Inferior spiritual roots, because one is pure, the essence of mana is different from that of miscellaneous spiritual roots. The Spirit Root of Fire will appear mana with properties such as burning, corrosing, and burning. ”

"Lower-grade spiritual roots, in the process of cultivation, spell casting, and alchemy, the spiritual roots that fit themselves have a certain bonus."

“……”

"Sure enough, even if my Dao bones have changed, is it just a fake?"

Zhang Qiudao saw the records of dozens of lower grade spirit roots, and was stunned to find that the essence of his mana had not changed, and there was no change in the cultivation process.

In addition to the improvement of the perception of the aura of heaven and earth, the control of the aura of heaven and earth has increased, and it does not have any of the above characteristics.

"This should be the defect of the pseudo-spiritual root Dao bone, but since it can change the essence, then my Dao bone may not be able to continue to improve, and complete the various characteristics of the lower grade spiritual root one by one."

Zhang Qiudao saw another road that could not be walked on.

Thinking of seeking the Tao of Immortality, I have already dabbled in the magic circles, talismans, spells, exercises, kendo, fundamental magic secret techniques, mana control, and mana quality.

Nowadays, coupled with groping how to complete the bones, one problem after another, one problem after another, but Zhang Qiudao has a sense of fulfillment.

Every time he dabbles in one more, it means that he is one step closer to immortality.

Seeking longevity is a long road, and I will go up and down to seek.

Zhang Qiudao is not afraid that there are too many things that need to be done, so much that he can't do them in his life.

He was afraid that he would have no clue, that he would not have enough time, that there would be no hope, that he would be stuck in a bottleneck and waiting for death step by step.
