Chapter 124: Soul Refining Breakthrough

Seeing Governor Li go away and return to his own courtyard alone, the emotions that he had been carefully controlling spread wantonly in his heart.

Sitting in the house, Meng Zhou took out the teastove, stretched out his hand and gently wiped it, and a dense cloud and rain appeared above the teapot.

Soon, a pocket rainstorm fell in the pot.

It is rich in spiritual energy, far more than those spiritual rains in the pond. And cooking tea with this freshly made spiritual water tastes even more wonderful.

This is also some of the cautions that Meng Zhou has groped out these days.

Since harvesting the self-grown and homemade spiritual tea, as long as he is not practicing in retreat or has special arrangements, Meng Zhou will brew a pot here every day.

This is one of the few hobbies in his regular spiritual life.

When this rich tea soup entered his stomach, the last trace of the obstacle in his heart for this accidental discovery was also eliminated.

"Hu Gui?"

Meng Zhou chewed on this name in his heart, and when the trace of fear in his heart slowly subsided, he inexplicably felt a little funny.

This Hu Gui, of course, is not Bi Hu Gui.

"Bi Hu Gui" was burned to ashes by his own hands, there is no doubt about this.

This Hu Gui has no relationship with "Bi Hu Gui" in terms of appearance and temperament, let alone a huge gap in the level of cultivation.

The reason why he felt that something was wrong was because the performance of the girl in the sea of knowledge made him alert, and his powerful divine soul comparable to the late stage of foundation building also peeked out some clues under careful induction.

"This guy has touched three idols."

As soon as the two met, Meng Zhou basically had such a judgment in his heart, but he did not show the slightest abnormality in his performance.

It wasn't until far away that he learned the other party's name in a "small talk" with Governor Lee, and while he was shocked, he finally confirmed the identity of the other party completely.

Knowing that the other party's identity was strange, when he was sorting out the other party's spiritual field, Meng Zhou was a little more attentive.

Then, he found that the eight hundred acres of spiritual fields opened up by the other party were all planted with various second-order spirit planting trees.

Because of the characteristics of spiritual planting trees, from seedlings to trees, the cycle is at least ten years, and those second-order medium-grade spiritual materials with higher quality have a maturity cycle of more than twenty years.

This and Meng Zhou's choice are completely two extremes.

The choice of this "Hu Gui" fell in the eyes of Governor Li and other Sanchuan Society, which is a clear proof that the other party wants to take root here for a long time in order to seek long-term interests.

But in Meng Zhou's eyes, there is another interpretation.

"Is this a sourcing channel that has been cut off, and you plan to be self-reliant and self-sufficient?"

Meng Zhou had already made a judgment before, that is, Meixianglou's "Mother Yun" was lurking in Qinglinfang, not to block Qingxuanzong, or to make a big news, but to be a "procurement specialist".

Taking advantage of the convenience of Qinglin Fang, as well as her own identity, she quietly collected second-order wood spiritual materials from Qinglin Fang.

Because this is a necessity for the formation of the three gods, it is a rigid need for this mysterious force.

It's a pity that this "procurement point" was reported by Xu Wanzhen and swept away by Qingxuanzong.

Coupled with a series of measures launched by the Qingxuan Sect later, they wanted to purchase a large number of second-order wood-based spiritual materials in the Qingxuan Domain, and they also had to conceal their identities, which became more and more difficult and risky.

Therefore, as a last resort, they chose to come to Sanchuan Plateau to open a spiritual field, be self-reliant and self-sufficient.

Thinking about it like this, an originally extremely serious event suddenly had some inexplicable joy in Meng Zhou's eyes.

This gave him a sense of déjà vu that a vibrant social gang would pick up a hoe and cultivate the land by itself.

"The cultivation environment of the Qingxuan Domain, unconsciously, has it been so rolled?"

……

After drinking a pot of spiritual tea, Meng Zhou completely suppressed this matter in his heart.

What to do and what to do, as if not affected in the slightest.

However, in terms of the choice of cultivation in the next stage, Meng Zhou still made some adjustments.

Originally, he planned to make the Earth Escape Technique and the Water Escape Technique the focus of the next stage of cultivation.

Now, Meng Zhou plans to improve his various knotting skills.

Long before coming to Sanchuan Plateau, all kinds of rune arrays and spirit puppet skills had already been introduced, and later, when the courtyard was arranged, when Yaya was promoted to the second-order limit, she also took the opportunity to improve it.

But until now, it has only been at the level of Dacheng.

And his knot-making attainments are only second-order middle grades.

Meng Zhou decided to rush these skills to the full level first, and upgrade the courtyard formation into a veritable "turtle shell".

Anyway, these skills are all to be cultivated to perfection in his plan, and there is no such thing as delay.

Before you know it, it's late February.

During this period, Meng Zhou completed another retreat and went out to do "volunteering" for two days.

The defilement technique finally completed the accumulation of the grandmaster stage and advanced to the consummation level on February 26.

It is worth mentioning that at the beginning of the month, when helping the two Xuanling Turtles complete the bloodline transformation from the first order to the second order, the eight items of the pharmacist also completed the final accumulation and successfully advanced to perfection.

Myogenic surgery has also been promoted from Xiaocheng to Dacheng.

After the Eight Consummations of the Medicine Master, Meng Zhou found that the relevant spiritual talents had improved significantly.

This improvement is not only reflected in depth, but also in breadth.

Originally, the spirit body talent could only cover the pharmacist realm, but after this promotion, Meng Zhou found that his talent in the spirit planter had also improved a lot.

Coupled with the help of the Spirit Planter after mastering the talent of "Heart of Nature", even with Meng Zhou's own evaluation, he can now be regarded as a genius of the Spirit Planter.

Because of these changes, the Medicine Spirit Master directly advanced to the second-order upper grade, "Medicine Spirit Master Second Order 850/1000".

At the same time, with the progress of the two Xuan Spirit Tortoises, the Spirit Master also improved and entered the second-order middle grade.

"Soul Master 2nd Order 350/1000".

Until February 30, Meng Zhou let the girl who had just formed a spirit gathering rune array in his hand suddenly turn into a grasshopper and ran away, and the "seven items of the rune array" (spirit gathering, shielding, concealment, defense, imprisonment, earth power, and breaking the ban) all reached "Dacheng 1600/2000".

The Giant Bear Spirit Golem, the Turtle Spirit Golem, and the Pure Futon have all reached "Dacheng 1500/2000".

Because of these advances, the knotsters have taken another small step forward.

"Knotter 400/1000".

The reason why Meng Zhou temporarily stopped cultivating was because after two months, the two spirit tea trees were ready to be picked again.

Moreover, because of his proper care, and the fact that the two spirit tea trees themselves are still in the growth stage, the number that can be picked this time is much more than the one picked at the beginning of the first month.

Before the official picking, Meng Zhou took out a jade slip, and he decided to learn it first.

Last time, because of the lack of processing techniques, the taste of Lingcha was all supported by its excellent materials, and his processing techniques not only did not achieve the effect of adding points, but also deducted some points.

At that time, Meng Zhou decided to learn more techniques before picking and processing again.

And in the inheritance jade slip that Chu Zheng gave him, there is the inheritance of the "spiritual dieter", which happens to be a professional counterpart.

Meng Zhou took a closer look, and after having a comprehensive understanding of the way of spiritual food, he chose three skills to try to get started.

These three skills are Fire Resistance, Water Resistance, and Concoction.

The art of resisting fire and water is a very large and very popular two spell categories, from the first order to the second order, there are a large number of related spells, for refiners, alchemists, this is a compulsory subject.

He is only learning now, and it is very rare among cultivators.

The introduction of these two spells did not have any twists and turns for Meng Zhou.

The introduction to concocting also didn't take much time.

If it weren't for mastering the two techniques of fire and water resistance, he would be able to better master this spell, and Meng Zhou would want to bypass the two techniques of fire and water control and do it in one step.

After successfully introducing these three spells, Meng Zhou picked all the buds and buds on the two spirit tea trees in a moment.

In order to practice spells, and also to avoid the situation of improper disposal of all materials at once, Meng Zhou divided them into dozens of small parts.

Meng Zhou's hands stretched out, a warm flame burned in the palm of one hand, and a cloud of water flowed in the other.

He folded his hands toward the center, and the two soft forces merged into an invisible spherical area in front of his palms, with a freshly picked bud and bud in between.

The shoots and buds are changing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their spirituality is not only not lost, but in the process of his gentle preparation, a wonderful change is taking place.

When this spiritual tea was processed, Meng Zhou reached out and took it in his palm and observed it carefully.

With the other hand, he took out the spiritual tea that had been made casually before, and compared the two, the difference was suddenly revealed.

Then, Meng Zhou puffed up all the newly picked spiritual teas.

When the last part was processed, the fire resistance, water resistance, and concoction skills had just been promoted from the beginning to the small success.

The spiritual tea that was processed with this method was obviously different from the one that was processed with the introductory and initial techniques just now, and Meng Zhou couldn't help but want to brew a cup and taste it.

"It is said that this processing technology has been mastered to a high depth, which can not only give the raw material more wonderful changes, but may even make it upgraded, which can be expected."

After processing these spiritual teas, Meng Zhou couldn't wait to boil water and brew a few cups.

After comparing them one by one, Meng Zhou put all the spirit tea he made after this technique reached the initial level into the spirit sealing box.

As for the other spiritual teas......

Meng Zhou thought about it and sent Yang Chong a flying knowledge message.

Soon, Yang Chong appeared outside the hospital.

Meng Zhou opened the formation, let him in, handed him two packets of spiritual tea, and said:

"This is my home-grown spiritual tea, the production method is a little rough, you can take it and drink it."

Yang Chong was shocked and happy, and directly stretched out his hands and held them in his arms.

"Thank you, senior."

No matter how "rough" these spiritual teas are, they are also second-order low-grade spiritual teas, and for him and his wife, the benefits are not too much.

Meng Zhou asked a few more casual questions, and learned about the two of them, and even the entire team, as well as the recent situation of his first-order Zhuangtian.

……

In a calm and regular day-to-day, time always flies.

Halfway through March, there is nothing impressive except for the Sanchuan Association who arranged to go to Zhuangtian, which is "Hu Gui", to sort out the earth's qi again.

Every day, they are either in retreat and practice, or they sit cross-legged in the house, facing the verdant greenery of the courtyard, constantly weaving one rune or spirit puppet after another with knots, or flying around one farm after another.

March 20th, late at night.

For this retreat, Meng Zhou had more expectations in his heart.

Because at this moment, the Soul Pond Refining Moon Heart has reached the limit of Dacheng, and this retreat, the Divine Soul will surely usher in another transformation.

"Dacheng 7800/8000".

During the retreat, Meng Zhou paid more attention to the soul of the sea god.

At a certain moment, as the accumulation of the Soul Refining Method reached the limit of Dacheng and entered a new level, the Soul Pool underwent drastic changes and further expanded.

However, Meng Zhou's attention was not on the change of the divine soul itself, but on the oath silk threads that surrounded the divine soul, the oath silk threads that had already been damaged a lot, with the rapid transformation of the divine soul, they were shattered everywhere.

In the end, there was no trace of the remnants of the silk thread of the oath, and its traces completely disappeared from the soul of the sea god.

And long before they completely disappeared, Meng Zhou's attention was already focused on the edge of the sea of knowledge.

Not to his surprise, another rope phantom swept past the edge of the sea of knowledge.

This time, maybe it was because he had prepared in advance, or maybe it was the further improvement of his divine soul, which made his perception in the sea of consciousness more acute, he saw more clearly than the last time, and noticed more details.

At the end of the retreat, Meng Zhou woke up with his eyes open and let out a long sigh in his heart.

"After this breakthrough transformation, in terms of the strength of the divine soul alone, it is already completely comparable to the ninth-level cultivator of the foundation building, right?"

After this divine soul transformation, Meng Zhou found that the Qi Hope Technique and Soul Shaking Technique, which should have been the most difficult to learn, were no longer too difficult for him.

However, after a little trial and verification, Meng Zhou temporarily put aside the cultivation of these two spells.

He decided to complete his knotting skills first.

And now, with a lot of time and energy he has devoted to this, the knotting skills have not only advanced from Dacheng to master, but also go further, and it is not far away.

In addition, it is also worth mentioning that with the advancement of the Soul Refining Method to the master, the experience gain of a single retreat has increased from 500 to 600, plus the Spring Water Sutra, which has already been a master, the experience gain of each cultivation experience is also +600, and even with it, the experience gain of a retreat of the Xuan Turtle Refining Method, which is slightly lower than these two methods in all aspects, has also increased from +500 to +600.

After leaving the customs, Meng Zhou adapted to the state a little, and then went out to do a whole day of "volunteering" in exchange for a few days of quiet.

In the process, the knot skill was also successfully promoted from the master to the realm of the grandmaster.

As a result, the profession of knotter was promoted from the second-order middle grade to the second-order upper grade.

After completing this transformation, Meng Zhou made a comprehensive "renovation" of the formation covering the entire courtyard, and all the rune arrays, including the four Guardian Array Spirit Golems, were completely upgraded, upgrading them to a veritable second-order high-grade multi-functional protection array.

Whether it is defense, imprisonment, concealment, gathering spirits, or killing enemies, all of them have reached the second-order high-grade level.

Rounding it off, and taking it all together, it is also worthy of the name to say that this is a second-order small superlative.

After such a disposition, Meng Zhou's sense of security increased greatly.

Because of the appearance of "Hu Gui", the vague uneasiness that haunted my heart finally dissipated most.

March 30, noon.

Meng Zhou and Governor Li flew away from a distance and came to the sky above Zhuang Tianzhuang.

Both of them looked in the direction of Lingtian.

At this moment, there was an old man standing above the thousand acres of spiritual fields, and this person was President Pan himself.

At his feet, there was a cloud and rain mass covering an area of just a thousand acres.

This huge cloud and rain ball is like a wet towel, pouring the aura of rainwater into the thousands of acres of verdant greenery below.

In just three months, in the thousands of acres of spiritual fields, the jade heart and zhuguo have grown from a spiritual seedling of less than ten centimeters into a green forest.

Each "seedling" is now more than 20 meters long, with thick canes and thick leaves, and it has to be said that it is a miracle that it can grow into such a shape in three months in this waterless Sanchuan Plateau.

However, they also seem to have reached their limits, and their original greed for spiritual water is rapidly weakening, becoming slow and methodical.

After the rain was poured for today, the clouds and rain quickly disappeared under their feet, and President Pan was already flying towards the two.

When he came closer, President Pan looked at Meng Zhou with a smile and said, "Zhuang Daoyou, the three months of the thirstiest water of the Jade Heart Zhuguo have passed, and your task will be much easier next." ”

Meng Zhou didn't seem to hear the teasing meaning hidden in his words, but generously thanked him, thanking the Sanchuan Society for its careful care in the past few months.

Meng Zhou had already agreed with Governor Li that since the Sanchuan Society had cultivated enough monks who were proficient in the art of rational qi, he would not continue to join in the excitement from next month.

Therefore, today is also the last rain scheduled by the Sanchuan Society.

In the future, the rainfall work of this thousand acres will be all the responsibility of Meng Zhou himself.

Meng Zhou just didn't expect that this "full stop" was drawn by President Pan himself.

"The vitality of the jade heart vermilion vine is extremely tenacious, and because of its own strong water storage capacity, it will be easy until its final fruiting period arrives, but there are still some places to pay attention to......

After Chairman Pan made some admonitions, he took Governor Lee to leave with him.

After President Pan and the others left, Meng Zhou summoned Yang Chong over.

Looking at Yang Chong, who was full of breath, Meng Zhou was surprised: "When did you break through?" ”

Yang Chong's cultivation has been improved from the seventh layer of qi training to the eighth layer of qi training.

Yang Chong replied:

"I just broke through a few days ago, and thanks to the spiritual tea you gave me from my predecessor, I have washed away some of the old wounds left in my body when I was young.

If not, this breakthrough would have gone by the end of the year. ”

Meng Zhou asked curiously, "Liu Ying is also fast, right?" ”

Yang Chong nodded and said, "She is now in the late stage of retreat impact qi training. ”

Meng Zhou thought for a while and said:

"If you two don't have anything special, just practice more with me, since you can leave that farm to others to take care of, don't do everything yourself.

You must know that for both of you, it is a huge advantage to be able to advance to Zhuji one day earlier. ”

Although the age of the two is not very old, it cannot be said that they are young, and the sooner they enter the foundation, the more obvious the advantage.

Meng Zhou said vaguely, but Yang Chong was in his heart.

He thought that since the middle of last year, more and more monks have come to Mikawa Plateau.

When the husband and wife go out, they can meet the strong people who build the foundation flying in the sky from time to time, and they didn't feel it before, but now there is a strong sense of crisis in his heart.

He immediately replied respectfully, "Yes." ”

Meng Zhou nodded and didn't say anything more.

Instead, he said to Yang Chong: "The daily care of this Lingtian will be handed over to you to be responsible." ”

"Yes." Yang Chong nodded.

"You just need to manage it well, you don't have to do everything yourself."

"Yes."

……

After returning to the courtyard, Meng Zhoupan sat in the elegant house and had just formed a talisman array for a while, when a flying knowledge message came to him.

Meng thought it was Governor Li at first.

can only be taken into the palm of his hand to know that this message is from Kan Yue.

It's a party invitation, and the attitude is very solemn.

He said that he had long wanted to hold a party and invite some close Taoist friends to participate, but it was only because Meng Zhou had been helping the Sanchuan Society back and forth in the past few months that the party was postponed again and again.

Now that he heard that he had ended his cooperation with the Sanchuan Society, he sent an invitation as soon as possible, asking him to be sure to enjoy his face.

His attitude made Meng Zhou stunned for a while before coming back to his senses.

However, it is now March 30 and the retreat is imminent.

Meng Zhou thought about it, and then sent him a message back, saying that he needed to rest for a few days, and could he set the party for the fifth day of the next month.

Not long after this flying knowledge message was sent, Kan Yue's reply came.

Meng Zhou received a reply, confirming that the other party had set the date of the meeting on the fifth day of April.

……

The third day of the fourth month. Early morning.

Repair to progress +60, build the fourth floor 576/1000;

2nd Order Spring Water Sutra +600, Master 10200/16000;

Soul Pool Moon Heart +600, Master 1000/16000;

Turtle Refining +600, Master 3030/12000.

After leaving the customs, Meng Zhou came to Lingtian for the first time and checked the condition of the jade heart Zhu Guoteng.

Compared to three days ago, their state has shrunk a bit, but due to their strong water storage capacity, their internal vitality is still strong.

Through the "Heart of Nature", Meng Zhou even felt that the current Jade Heart Zhu Guovine was a little more tenacious than three days ago.

A layer of realization appeared in Meng Zhou's heart.

"Proper sharpening is a good thing, not a bad thing, for the jade heart Zhu Guoteng!"

"The growth cycle of this fruit is much lower than that of other spirit fruits of the same quality, and it takes a longer time to complete the accumulation of other spirit fruits in a shorter time, and it can't be just because of the sufficient supply of spiritual rain in the last three months."

"Grinding, in the process of its growth and accumulation, needs to be tempered by strength at all times!"

"The vitality of the Jade Heart Zhu Fruit Vine is already extremely powerful, and its water storage capacity is also very terrifying.

Instead of making sure that it is always in good spirits, it is better to sharpen and temper it on the edge of the limit again and again.

Only in this way can it complete the maximum accumulation in the shortest possible time! ”

After that, Meng Zhou returned to the courtyard and continued to practice various knotting skills.

The fifth day of the first month, early in the morning.

Meng Zhou went to the Lingtian to check the condition of the Jade Heart Zhu Guoteng again, and after confirming that he was fine, he jumped up and flew away.

After a while, Meng Zhou came to the sky above Kan Yue's Zhuangtian.

In the distance, Meng Zhou saw Kan Yue come out of a courtyard and lure him in.

The size of this courtyard is much larger than that of Meng Zhou's, and its degree of care is also much more exquisite, revealing delicacy and care everywhere.

The two of them entered a lakeside attic, and several foundation-building monks cast curious glances at Meng Zhou.

Ahhhh

I hope you will encourage you with a monthly pass!!!!!
