Chapter 622: Fear in the Heart, Misguided Truth
In the Star Dou Palace, the white-robed Taoist sat cross-legged.
Silent, as if silent.
After a long time, he suddenly spit out another breath of turbidity.
With such a long breathing rhythm, it would have been extremely boring for others, but this person was full of rhythmic rhythm, as if the ancient turtle swallowed the aura of heaven and earth.
Suddenly.
The Taoist slowly opened his eyes.
Feeling his state, he smiled with relief.
"Sure enough, focusing on refining for a long time has had a great impact on my cultivation, but fortunately, my foundation is solid enough and I have stabilized."
In order to refine the Demon Emperor's relics, Luo Chen spent a whole year.
And before that, he had only broken through the sixth layer of Jindan.
It should have been a move to strike while the iron was hot after the realm was raised, but he didn't expect that such a long casting would cause great damage to his spirit and physique.
Even, because the best True Yan Pill was taken as a rejuvenating pill to swallow dates, a large amount of fire poison was entrenched in the sea of qi.
Previously indulged in the caster, it has not yet been discovered.
When he cultivated the treasure fetus and returned to the normal rhythm of cultivation, Luo Chen realized that something was wrong.
His sixth-layer Jindan realm, which was worthy of promotion, almost went backwards.
For this reason, Luo Chen first used the dragon slaying technique one after another to remove the fire poison in his body, then ate a large number of various supplements, and finally rested for a month before returning his body to a normal state.
In this way, Luo Chen practiced modestly for two months, and finally stabilized the realm.
At this moment, the entry of [Jindan Sixth Layer 1/100] on the attribute panel hung there quietly, bringing Luo Chen a great sense of security.
"The treasure fetus has been cast, and the rest is the cultivation and carving of the array, and my time has suddenly become free."
"Three months of recuperation has restored my spirit to the peak, but I can't slack off anymore."
Looking at the property panel, Luo Chen planned what was next.
The time waiting for the birth of the baby is naturally not wasted, and something has to be done.
This first thing is undoubtedly cultivation.
For Luo Chen, his regular cultivation was divided into two parts.
Refining qi and refining the body.
In terms of combat power, it is naturally the priority of refining the body, but when it comes to the path of immortality, the cultivation of qi refining is not slack.
Luo Chen estimated it slightly according to his previous cultivation speed.
With the Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra as his natal exercise, a large number of high-grade True Yan Pills as his assistance, and even the blessing of the most core Star Dou Hall third-order high-grade spiritual land, his cultivation speed was the efficiency of a genuine Heavenly Spirit Root cultivator.
In the end, Luo Chen came up with an approximate deadline.
"Ten years!"
"If I live in seclusion in the Penghu Star Dou Hall without being disturbed by foreign affairs, I will only need ten years to be promoted to the seventh layer of Jindan and become a real great monk!"
Previously, Jindan was promoted from the fifth layer to the sixth layer, and it was originally estimated that it would be six or seven years.
As a result, it took a full nine years.
The extra two or three years, firstly, because he went out to Qu Yang's defense line to do the task of guarding the town, the cave mansion over there only had a third-order low-grade aura environment, which greatly delayed his cultivation speed.
In addition, in the middle, he once again focused on improving the "Confluence of Ten Thousand Dao", and when he constantly adjusted the body refining exercises, it also had a lot of impact on his body.
In the end, it took three more years to be promoted to the sixth layer of Jindan.
This is the case with the dual cultivation of the Dharma body.
Immortal cultivators don't pay attention to their physique, but their physique does affect their cultivation efficiency.
The two initiates, when there is always a conflict, Rao is Luo Chen has the help of the system panel, and he has to pay the price for it.
However, fortunately, "Ten Thousand Paths Confluence" has been successfully adjusted, and it will not affect his normal cultivation in the future.
Now he has the combat power comparable to that of the Great Monk, and ten years later, he will have the realm of a real Great Monk, and then his combat power will increase even more terrifyingly.
If the treasure fetus carving array is successful, there will be an additional defensive magic weapon refined by the Demon Emperor's relics.
When the time comes, Luo Chen may be able to come to the last sentence heroically: "Yuan Ying is not out, who will compete!" β
Of course, such hopes remain only in fantasy.
At present, the road still has to be taken step by step.
After refining qi, it is time to refine the body.
γAncient 3rd Order 81/100γ
Looking at the attribute panel, Luo Chen pinched his fingers and counted the number of Black Emperor Ointments.
"It should be able to survive to the consummation of the third order of body refining, right?"
He wasn't sure.
This set of self-created refining road, the initial smooth sailing, and later the speed of refining the body with fire instead of thunder, not long ago the way of fake casting, internal and external refining, can be called flawless.
At least, it is also the flawlessness of Luo Chen's current vision pattern.
But this road, on the whole, still seems to be relatively rough and barbaric, and even in terms of system classification, it is not divided into one, two, three, four, five, or six layers like the Jindan period, but only uses a great realm division of the third order of the ancient world.
This also leads to the fact that for the improvement of each level, Luo Chen's overall perception is relatively vague.
In particular, the cultivation of any Great Dao is the more difficult it is to go to the back.
The progress bar of this eighty-one is one hundred years away from the consummation, and there is no certain amount of resource consumption in Luo Chen's heart.
"Let's take one step at a time!"
This road has no one to follow, there is no precedent to follow, and Luo Chen can only cross the river by feeling the stones.
After refining qi and refining his body, Luo Chen's attention fell on the formation column.
Fourth-order formation: Liangyi Liujia formation
This is a set of combined formations, with the third-order formation Liangyi as the core, supplemented by six third-order defensive formations.
Among them, he had all cultivated to the level of Grandmaster or above, and he had refined six sets of Xuan Armor with this as the core.
But to refine the treasure fetus created by the Demon Emperor's relics, the core of the Liangyi Array, it is not negligent at all.
In this set of formations, the grade is only three orders, but the power is almost unlimited.
The power of the formation is affected by the materials of the formation.
As mentioned before, what are Liangyi?
Yin and Yang are two instruments.
Heaven and earth are also two instruments.
Odd or even or rigid and soft, Xuanhuang and Qiankun can also be two instruments for each other.
Even, even the turbid water and fire, men, women and children have the meaning of two rites.
In short, taking the opposite meaning, the arrangement of the formation, there is the true meaning of the two instruments.
Its power also depends on the between.
From this point of view, this set of third-order two-ritual arrays is a bit like the third-order Heavenly Spirit Capture Array in the Ghost God Valley back then, all of which are claimed to have unlimited power.
Back then, Han Zhan admired the Liangyi and Five Elements Sword Formation as a means of killing, and he also took a fancy to the upper limit of the Liangyi Array.
After Luo Chen got this set of casting drawings, he learned the Liangyi Array from Han Zhan and easily got started.
But in the follow-up exercises, the progress became more and more slow.
Until now, he is still stuck at the perfect level, and he can't reach the minimum grandmaster level in Luo Chen's mind.
As the core of the Liangyi Liujia Array, how can it lag behind the Liujia?
"It seems that I have to take the time to visit Han Zhan and ask him for advice."
Luo Chen sighed, but there was a bit of reluctance in his eyes.
Perhaps outsiders will be surprised by Luo Chen's reluctance when they learn about the relationship between the two.
Obviously, they were friendly and mutually helpful and harmonious, so why don't they want to meet now?
This has to mention the jealous thoughts in Luo Chen's heart.
At the beginning, on the Langya Mountain merchant ship Langya, Luo Chen removed the bad luck on the soul nourishing wood for Han Zhan, and encountered an impact of bad luck on the sea of knowledge.
That time, it was quite precipitous.
Knowing the sea, the illusion is reborn, and even the soul defense magic weapon Rotten Ke Heiqi can't resist.
It was Han Zhan who personally took action to solve the illusion crisis for Luo Chen.
Because of this matter, Luo Chen was blessed by misfortune, and he cultivated the dragon slaying technique to the Great Perfection, and took the opportunity to upgrade the illusion mirror and have a second illusion. After the mirror, the ghost fairy building was reappeared, and the name of the latter was still inspired by Luo Chen's blurt out the word "ghost fairy building" from the white-clothed monk of the demon hunter assessment task.
But because of this incident, Luo Chen had hidden worries in his heart.
That is Han Zhan Ke ignoring the defense of Rotten Ke Black Chess and invading his sea of knowledge!
I don't know if it was the common method of the Yuanying Cultivator, or Han Zhan's special secret technique in soul refining, in short, in front of Han Zhan, Luo Chen felt a naked and unguarded sense of fear in the soul for the first time.
Along the way before, Luo Chen had never shown similar jealousy, and he still got along with Han Zhan.
But since he came to the Wanxian Society and entered the eight hundred miles of Penghu, he and Han Zhan deliberately lived separately.
He used a very valid reason.
That is, Han Zhan has obtained the soul nourishing wood, and he wants to restore his cultivation and strength. There are a lot of things on his side, and if they are together all the time, they can't help but disturb him.
Han Zhan was naturally happy to succeed, or he could see through Luo Chen's mind and take the initiative to avoid suspicion.
All in all, the two have been "separated" for many years.
Even when he encountered confusion in improving "The Confluence of Ten Thousand Paths", he relied on his own exploration and did not seek Han Zhan's guidance.
But now, I still have to take the initiative once.
"It's time to see each other, lest you get into trouble."
Luo Chen muttered, and sent out a transmission note outside the hall.
β¦β¦
In the 800-mile Penghu Lake, there is an isolated island.
Unlike other places, there are no flowers, plants, waterfowl, insects, ants, animals, and the barren island ecology even gives people a sense of extinction.
But on the contrary, this is Han Zhan's solitary place.
A few days ago, Luo Chen and Han Zhan agreed to meet.
Today, Han Zhan took the time to meet Luo Chen.
"There is a saying, I have always wanted to say, your way of practicing the formation is a bit rigid, or a little misguided."
"In the past, when you had a talent for formations, you could easily get started with all kinds of low-level formations as soon as you learned them, and as soon as you got started, you suddenly advanced, and even some formations were arranged, and the effect was even better than that of my real person, which is really incredible."
"But then I found out that you seem to be obsessed with tracing and engraving one by one, and only pay attention to its shape, not its meaning."
"This set of learning methods may be useful for low-level formations, but once it involves high-level formations, it is a bit insufficient."
"You must know that as long as a powerful formation master is a powerful formation master, the formation is never stuck in stereotypes. They will adapt to local conditions, but they will also transform the environment and arrange the most suitable formation in their minds. Why are they able to do this? It is because they understand the true essence of the formation! β
"Because you understand, you don't have limitations."
"You don't understand, so you're restricted everywhere."
"Every set of high-level formations has the concept of the creator when it was designed. You can only lay out the perfect formation to express your attitude, but you can't touch the real core, that's just a form. β
"It's like sealing the sea gossip array, you can only arrange it in a place where water vapor is strong, but the old man can forcibly arrange it in a volcanic eruption place, can you understand the difference?"
"For example, these two ritual arrays, when they got started, they were extremely fast, but now they are stuck in the realm of Xiaocheng. The power that was laid out was at most tricky for the early Jindan monks. Do you know the essence of the Liangyi Array? β
Luo Chen never expected that it would be an ordinary meeting that he asked for advice and Han Zhan pointed out.
The other party actually gave him a head start in the study of the formation.
The self-righteousness of the past seems so ridiculous in this sound of guidance.
He thought that with the help of the proficiency panel, he could learn various formations without limit, but now it seems that he has obviously taken a fork in the road.
When reflecting in his heart, he found the general truth of what Han Zhan said in alchemy.
His alchemy, even after the Great Perfection, the rate of the top-grade pill is still around fifty, which means that there will be half of the failure rate.
This probability is actually very high.
It's enough to be called an alchemy master.
But there is one thing wrong, Luo Chen has been a fourth-order alchemist since he refined the fourth-order transformation pill.
This kind of existence, let alone a single pill, even in the refining of various pills, can also be called an alchemy master, compared to the holy hand of the Dan Dao, it is only a thin line.
Similarly, in the face of low-level pills, the success rate of the pill should be nine out of ten, even if it is not 100 percent.
But he couldn't!
It's not that it can't be done, Luo Chen has already discovered that the longer he refines a certain pill, even after the Great Perfection, the success rate can still be slowly increased, and it is not far from the so-called nine out of ten.
At that time, he only thought that the truth was "without him, only familiar with his hands." β
Now it seems that it is clearly "reading a book a hundred times and seeing its righteousness"!
He was clearly on the side of alchemy, subconsciously comprehending the essence of a certain elixir.
At this moment, Han Zhan suddenly woke him up on the formation side, which made him understand another meaning beyond the proficiency panel.
That is more skillful, more sincere!
Under the commanding height, Luo Chen pushed back the past.
After the consummation of the fireball technique, there is an additional effect of the "Sun Technique", which is the true meaning of the fireball technique itself.
At the beginning of the creation of this technique, it should be to transform the monk's eyes, so that they can have good eyesight, see the will of life, and avoid dangerous places.
This is true of the mirror flower and water moon, and the dragon slaying technique is like this.
And so on.
What about other spells that don't have special effects, because the upper limit of the spell itself is not high, or because they don't understand the true meaning, so they stop at the Great Perfection?
For a while, in Han Zhandong's mansion, Luo Chen fell into deep thought.
Han Zhan didn't bother him either.
It wasn't until Luo Chen woke up that he returned to the topic and handed over the advanced cultivation method of the Liangyi Array to him.
When Luo Chen walked out of the barren and lifeless island, he couldn't help but glance back in the direction of Han Zhan.
"But I live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."
"With such teaching and guidance, there is no more selfless teacher and dear elders."
"That's right, with the Great Dao oath he made back then, how could he have any crooked thoughts about me?"
Luo Chen laughed at himself, and finally breathed a big sigh of relief in his heart.
It is not only because of Han Zhan's selfless guidance today, but also because he knows how to cultivate the Liangyi Array to a higher level.
β¦β¦
Night was falling.
The white jade plate slowly rippled in the water.
In the depths of the deep lake bottom, in a water curtain cave full of algae and corals, a huge dragon is entrenched here, closing its eyes and sleeping soundly.
And beside him, there was a slender figure, sitting cross-legged with a straight back, his hands pinched in front of him, and he breathed out the incomparably pure aura of this place.
If you look closely, the figure is a young girl.
Dressed in aqua green clothes, the white lotus flowers embroidered on them are lifelike.
The white socks loom at the bottom of the dress, and the slender waist seems to be able to hold it in one hand.
As for the cheeks, the thin eyebrows and snow skin, and the bridge of the nose are straight.
It's a pity that the aura is compelling, but it is too clear and beautiful, and there is a little bit of baby fat unique to girls.
Suddenly, a low voice came from the girl's ears.
"It's time for you to go back."
The girl opened her eyes, and a sly look flashed in her eyes.
"Uncle Long, how do you know I'm awake?"
The black king looked at the girl helplessly, "What you have absorbed is the pure aura that I have refined and swallowed, to what extent it is time to collect the merits, don't I know yet?" β
The girl pouted, "Cut, it's boring." β
The Black King sighed, "Go back, I heard from my master that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, aren't you reunited with your family?" β
When the moon is full, it is time for reunion.
Zhang Jingqing looked outside blankly, and for a moment, he was speechless.
A thud sounded, and the Black King squirmed his huge body.
The girl panicked, "Uncle Long, just let me stay with you for one night, okay, please." β
The Black King was puzzled, "Do you just want to see your mother and your father like this?" β
"Father? He only had that brother in his eyes. The girl lowered her head and was in a gloomy mood, "As for the mother, since she went to Quyang Island two years ago to send spirit stones to Lushanjun, and worshiped Lushanjun as her teacher, she gave up her job on the Qingyang and devoted herself to practicing under Lushanjun's knees, and I will meet her after a while." β
In his words, he still has a little affection for his mother, but he is full of resentment towards his father.
As he listened, the Black King's body began to glide outward.
Seeing this scene, the girl's eyes almost burst into tears.
"Don't you like Xiaoqing too?"
The Black King reluctantly turned his head, rolled up his mana, and carried it on his back.
"The master has something to do with me, what does it have to do with whether I like you or not, the little girl has a lot on her mind. Come out with me, take advantage of this good day, maybe the master is in a good mood and accept you as an apprentice. β
The master in Uncle Long's mouth?
The girl sat on the back of the dragon, and her face showed many complicated emotions.
There is both worship and admiration, and there is awe and fear, and there is more anxiety between the flow of eyes.
I don't know where there are so many emotions at this young age.
Jiaolong swims very fast, and after getting out of the water curtain hole, it breaks through the water waves and dives all the way.
With a bang, the waves splashed, and the dragon appeared on the surface of Daze Lake.
On the back of the dragon, the girl looked up.
Under the jade plate, a man and a woman stood in the air.
The female is in the rear, she is a familiar person when the girl is young, and the outside world calls her Tianxuan Fairy, and she will sweetly call Aunt Tianxuan.
And the white-robed man who lived in front of him, his skin was like fire, and his body was like a mountain, even if the bright moon and clear light fell on him, it was like a volcano that could erupt at any time.
Jiaolong bowed his head, "Master, what do you have to explain to Lao Hei?" β
