Chapter Ninety-Four: Retreat and Cultivation
The refining of the Mixed Yuan Golden Pill, once opened, cannot be interrupted, nor can it be reversed, if it fails, all the five spiritual powers in the body must be expelled, otherwise it will explode.
In other words, once you break through to the Mixed Yuan Stage, once you fail, you will become a "monk" without any spiritual power, and you need to re-cultivate the Mixed Yuan Technique to the peak of the late stage of foundation building, and then condense the "Mixed Yuan Golden Pill". According to the Jade Slip, this is a cycle.
And every time the "Mixed Yuan Jue" is cultivated, the chance of knotting the pill will increase by two percent. This should be the reason why the dantian and the true yuan have been compressed countless times, and it is easier to condense into a dan.
Every time you cultivate, the success rate of the knot will increase by 20%! This is a very scary height. Sun Yunhao heard what Xi Feng said, that is, some monks at the peak of the foundation building period will also take risks in order to get some treasures that assist the knot, but it can only increase the probability of success by about one percent.
Logically speaking, as long as there is enough lifespan, the immortal cultivator can continue to practice this exercise until the Mixed Yuan Jindan.
But in fact, the cultivators of the Five Spirit Roots are too slow to cultivate, and if they want to cultivate this exercise from scratch to the foundation building period, there is no bottleneck, and it is impossible to do it without hundreds of years. For a foundation-building monk who has a lifespan of only more than two hundred years, it is simply not enough.
But if there are a large number of excellent elixirs as an aid, it will be completely different! In this way, his cultivation will be greatly improved, and he will be able to repeat it for two or three weeks in his lifetime.
In this way, the chances of him marrying Dan will be greatly increased!
No matter from which point of view, this exercise is Sun Yunhao's best choice to impact Jindan, or rather, it is the only exercise. He didn't want to think about it, just dispersed and started again.
He put aside the cultivation method of the Mixed Yuan Jue for the time being, and his eyes fell on the several wooden jade boxes placed on the stone platform.
These chests, large or small, large or small, were all sealed by forbidden talismans, looking cautious.
As for those wooden boxes, Sun Yunhao said on the last jade slip that they contained some pills that could play an auxiliary role when he knotted the pill, although these pills did not have much effect on his advancement, and he could only eat a small part at a time, but it was better than nothing.
The few forbidden talismans attached to the wooden box are to store these elixirs in it for a long time, so that their medicinal power will not be lost. Because he couldn't use it for the time being, Sun Yunhao put everything away without even looking at it.
And those two jade boxes are the "heavy treasures" left by the Ximen Sanren, specially prepared for those who are destined!
And the few forbidden talismans attached to the jade box also look like they have a lot of origins.
Sun Yunhao thought about it, but still sacrificed two medium-grade spiritual weapons, wrapped his body in them, and then grabbed the crimson long knife.
Then, Sun Yunhao slapped a boxy jade box with one hand, and a magic trick was played. Suddenly, dense filaments appeared on the surface of the jade box, and thunder and lightning kept beating on it, and they gathered more and more, thicker and thicker.
After a while, the thunder roared loudly, and a thunderbolt dragon several feet long and an inch thick rushed straight towards Sun Yunhao.
Before the snake could get close, the flame broadsword in Sun Yunhao's hand flicked slightly, and a crescent light blade flew out, easily splitting the snake into two, turning into countless tiny arcs of electricity and dissipating into the void.
Then, Sun Yunhao used the same method to stimulate the talisman in another slender jade box. And this talisman turned into a huge wind snake with a thick bowl mouth, and kept spewing out wind blades one after another, attacking Sun Yunhao.
The wind blade had no effect on Sun Yunhao's talisman spirit weapon at all.
The flame knife in Sun Yunhao's hand swung again, and the wind dragon was split apart and dissipated into the air.
After Sun Yunhao carefully opened the two jade boxes, there was a cyan jade ruler several inches long and a golden bell several inches long.
Whether it is a jade ruler or a small bell, they are all wrapped in a layer of spiritual light, and they are constantly circulating on it, giving people a sense of heaviness, and at first glance it is not the appearance that a top-level magic weapon can refine.
Sun Yunhao sighed lightly and muttered, "This, is it a magic weapon?" ”
Sun Yunhao took out the turquoise ruler and rubbed it lightly. This ruler is extremely smooth and gives a warm feeling. Take a closer look, the surface of this ruler is flowing, and there are faint complex runes circulating on it, giving people a sense of simplicity.
Sun Yunhao tried to input a trace of spiritual power into it, but this trace of spiritual power was like a mud cow entering the sea, and it was sucked clean in an instant, and there was no trace of it.
Sun Yunhao hurriedly stopped his movements and began to use his divine thoughts, wanting to levitate the jade ruler.
But what surprised Sun Yunhao was that the jade ruler that was originally light and fluttering was now surprisingly heavy, and under the control of his divine sense, some extremely heavy magic weapons could not be moved at all!
"This is the magic weapon of the strong man of the Yudan!" Sun Yunhao nodded, with his current cultivation, he simply didn't have enough spiritual power and divine sense to maintain the operation of the magic weapon.
He reluctantly tried several more times, but without success.
In this way, Han Li could be sure of the identity of these two treasures.
Sun Yunhao packed the treasures of the two in a jade box again and put them into his storage bag. Sun Yunhao looked around and found nothing.
"Isn't this Ximen San man looking for destined people below the foundation building period? Sun Yunhao muttered to himself, but after thinking about it, the other party was a "destined person" who could kill even a fifth-level demon beast, and what was it with just one or two good magic weapons?
With a thought in his mind, he wanted to pass through the purple light on the opposite side, but it turned out to be like hitting a stone wall, unable to penetrate the past at all.
It seems that the mystery in this light curtain can only be explored after he has advanced to the knot.
This island is inaccessible, and this cave is an extremely hidden place, Sun Yunhao simply dispersed all the mana in his body, first cultivated the exercises of the Mixed Yuan Jue to the point of self-protection, and then went out to hunt demon beasts.
Prior to this, when he was cultivating alchemy, he had obtained several pills that were very beneficial to his cultivation, and now he could use them.
After making up his mind, Sun Yunhao used a few boulders to block the entrance to the secret cave, and then returned to his cave.
To be on the safe side, Han Li placed several prohibitions in the hall and the secret room, and asked a group of puppets to guard the door of the secret room, just in case.
After doing all this, Sun Yunhao began his retreat.
If his cultivation is only abolished, then his cultivation is also abolished. The pain of this kind of dispersal exercise is far better than the pain of Zhuji Dan's body refining.
This feeling of being forced to extract every trace of spiritual power from his body really made him feel painful!
After a month of torture, Sun Yunhao finally lost all his strength completely and became a "mortal". If a monk rushed in at this time, he would not have any power to fight back.
After a day's rest, Sun Yunhao sat cross-legged again, making his state of mind calm, and then he began to cultivate the first layer of the "Mixed Yuan Jue".
There are a total of nine exercises in this set, the first is Qi refining, the second is the initial level of foundation building, the third is the intermediate level of foundation building, the fourth is the initial level of foundation building, and the fifth is the knot dan.
Each floor will make his cultivation go to the next level.
With the assistance of dozens of Qi Gathering Pills, Sun Yunhao cultivated the "Mixed Yuan Jue" to the first layer in just a few months, and advanced to the second layer, and his cultivation even reached more than the fifth layer of the Qi Refining Period.
Subsequently, he swallowed a fine Qingling Pill and cultivated his Mixed Yuan Technique to the second layer.
Time passes.
Ten years have passed in a flash.
In the past ten years, Sun Yunhao's cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, all relying on a large number of high-grade spirit pills and five element spirit stones.
Moreover, as long as he kept absorbing the spiritual energy, he could start over, and he didn't have to worry about the foundation building period at all, so in this way, Han Li had cultivated to the third level in just six years, and his cultivation had also recovered to the early stage of the foundation building period.
Subsequently, he took a third-order demon pill, and then used the ordinary pill and the top-grade pill refined by Xiao Ding, and after four years, he finally cultivated the fourth layer of the "Mixed Yuan Jue" to the Dacheng realm, and successfully advanced to the middle stage of foundation building.
Sun Yunhao was also very happy, because his spirit beast, the Cold Wind Snake, had eaten a lot of good pills in the past ten years, so its cultivation had also made great progress. Now that it has reached the peak of the first order, it is only one step away from the foundation building period.
This giant beast still has a cyan back and a white lower body, but its body is larger, and it has become a giant beast with a thin bowl mouth and a long feet. Coupled with the fact that it could instantly fire ice picks and wind blades, it was naturally more than enough to deal with ordinary Qi Refining Stage cultivators, but for Sun Yunhao, it didn't play a role at all.
It is estimated that it will not be until it advances to the second order or above that some special magical powers of different species will be revealed!
However, if you want this Ice Wind Snake to continue to evolve, the ordinary pills in the Fang Market are a little insufficient. If you want to evolve, you have to swallow an elixir called "Huajiao Dan". Otherwise, if you want to cultivate on your own and improve your realm, you don't know that you will have to wait until hundreds of years later.
You must know that although the demon race has a much longer life than the human race, if you want to advance to a higher realm, the time required is naturally several times that of the human race. If there were not enough spirit pills to feed, the spirit beast would not have fully matured, and the owner would have died of old age first.
However, there are not many sea Jiao near Island No. 5, and Sun Yunhao does not have the inner pill of Haijiao on his body at all, so naturally there is no way to refine a sea Jiao's elixir for these sea Jiao.
However, he also knew that the exercises he cultivated were very likely to increase more than once, and the required demon pills would also increase exponentially, so he decided to stop cultivating and continue to hunt demon beasts in the sea.
Sun Yunhao threw it casually, and more than a dozen fire snake talismans flew out, transforming into a flame python with the thickness of a bowl mouth in the air, and pounced on Shi Mu. Then, he held out a finger and flicked it at the fiery serpent.
The fire python's huge body was nothing compared to the purple mist.
The fire python opened its bloody mouth and swallowed the purple light in one gulp, and after a while, the fire python began to wriggle and began to shrink in size, and soon shrank to two-thirds of its original size.
Seeing this, Sun Yunhao's face showed a look of satisfaction, and after nodding, with a flick of his finger, the tiny fire python turned into a ball of red light and disappeared out of thin air.
This purple aura is exactly the ability that Sun Yunhao comprehended from it when he was in the fourth layer of "Mixed Yuan Jue", called "Mixed Yuan One Qi". However, Sun Yunhao had already cultivated the "Mixed Yuan Jue" to the fifth layer, and with the cultivation of the foundation building period, it was naturally a matter of an instant as soon as he made a move.
This purple light can be attacked and defended, and it also has a certain restraint effect on the power of the five elements, and its power is greatly increased. With this supernatural power alone, Sun Yunhao has enough strength to fight against ordinary mid-stage foundation building monks, even if he doesn't use a humanoid puppet or the "Burning Sky Blade". Coupled with the power of the five elements in Sun Yunhao's body, his mana far surpassed that of monks of the same level, even if he only had cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building, his mana and divine sense were not inferior to those of monks in the late stage of foundation building.
Compared with "Troubled Sea Jue", it is completely two concepts! This "Chaotic Sea Jue", in addition to the extremely fast cultivation speed, only has one ability, called "Turning Water Escape". This technique allows people to plunge headlong into the water when they encounter danger, which is not only extremely fast, but also blends with the nearby current, making it difficult for people to spot, and is a very useful retreat.
It's no wonder that although the cultivation speed of the water-attribute martial arts is very fast, the attack and defense are very weak. Nine times out of ten, this exercise is an invincible existence for monks of the same rank.
As for the "Mixed Yuan Technique", it is the power of the five elements that is cultivated together, so the cultivation speed is far inferior to the "Technique of the Chaotic Sea". However, with so many excellent elixirs, Sun Yunhao's cultivation progress was not slow. Moreover, whether it is the cultivation period or the cultivation in the future, it is better than the cultivation method in the back, and this is the most precious cultivation method.
Therefore, the moment Sun Yunhao got the "Mixed Yuan Jue", he did not hesitate to give up his cultivation!
Sun Yunhao remembered the location of the desert island and the secret cave, so he left the island and continued to hunt demon beasts.
In this sea area, almost all desert islands with no human population have Sun Yunhao's footprints.
Five years later, Sun Yunhao returned with a full load and came to Island Five.
During this period, there were thousands of third- to fifth-level demon beasts he killed, and they were not even recorded in ancient books, so that Sun Yunhao could only find out the flaws and kill them one by one in embarrassment for a while.
However, this process is not all smooth sailing, and some monsters have stubborn personalities, and after receiving a powerful attack, they will immediately blow themselves up and die. Not only did Sun Yunhao not be able to get the demon pill and materials, but also made him destroy several formations and puppets in the explosion.
If he hadn't usually fought head-on with demon beasts, I'm afraid he would have been seriously injured a long time ago.
During this period, he also met two sixth-level demon beasts, at this time, the only thing he could do was to use the puppet and formation to block all the sixth-level demon beasts, and he, at that moment, blocked all the sixth-level demon beasts.
In the past five years, although Sun Yunhao has gained a lot of benefits, he has also lost a lot of formations and puppets, but fortunately, this formation has not been destroyed. The rest is to buy it later and refine it again.
There are more than 1,000 demon pills, there are hundreds of wooden boxes, and the demon beast materials inside are countless.
Due to the limited space in the storage bag, Sun Yunhao destroyed those third- and fourth-level ordinary demon beast materials with no disdain, leaving only some extremely rare and useful ones to be taken away. However, there is a frightening amount of material left!
When Sun Yunhao approached Island No. 5, he also met several monks along the way, which made him suffer a lot.
Maybe it's because Sun Yunhao's two storage bags are too full, and he has been targeted by two waves of people one after another.
The first batch of people was a monk in the late stage of foundation building, and when he saw that Sun Yunhao was only a monk in the middle stage of foundation building, he had evil intentions and wanted to kill him and rob the treasure.
Sun Yunhao didn't pay attention to these people at all, and drove the "Wind Treading Jiao" desperately to escape, but the monk's flying sword did not fall behind at all, and he chased after him.
Sun Yunhao flew thousands of miles in one go, but he could not get rid of the monk's tracking, and in anger, he simply landed on a deserted island, and after the monk caught up, he waved his hand, killed him, and snatched the storage bag on his body.
And the other group of people, there were three monks in the early stage of foundation building, who were also very interested in Sun Yunhao, a lonely guy. These three monks can simultaneously urge an iron-winged flying magic weapon, and the speed is so fast that it is even a few points faster than Sun Yunhao's "flying dragon".
Sun Yunhao looked at the crowd on the other side, and he couldn't get rid of it for a while, but he was gradually shortened by the other party. That's why they settled on a small island.
But this time, he is going to be unlucky, if he can't catch all the three of them, the fact that he has high-level spirit stones and high-level spirit weapons on his body will definitely spread the news, and it will definitely attract the attention of many monks in the Dan stage at that time.
Since he didn't have the confidence to kill three people with one blow, he had to use those ordinary weapons that were "not too terrifying".
This time, he released thirteen silver needles in one go, forming a large array of silver needles, which was also extremely powerful.
Since he advanced to the middle stage of foundation building, his divine sense has improved greatly, and he can control thirteen red needles at the same time.
And these thirteen silver needles can form a "cloud-piercing array", so that the silver needles are indomitable, shooting from all directions, making people unguardable.
Now the silver needle that Sun Yunhao has unleashed is not known how many times stronger than when he was in the foundation building period!
With his cultivation in the early stage of foundation building, he could compete with Xun San with just a few flying needles. Now he is casting a complete set of thorn cloud arrays, with one against two, one against one, and he will not fall behind.
Seeing that the opponent was strong, the three of them could not gain the upper hand together, and even one of them was seriously injured under the continuous flying needles, and he suddenly became timid. The three of them finally abandoned Sun Yunhao and left in a huff.
