Chapter 133: Just around the corner
He had been cultivating alone in the formation for several days, and if the time it took for Ding Zhengyi to cross the formation was added, he and the four other civil and military brothers outside the formation had not seen each other for nearly ten days or so.
If you are in the clan and are safe, you don't have to worry, but when you are away from home, the situation is changeable, and all kinds of unknown events may happen at your fingertips.
Therefore, Ding Zhengyi looked at the layer of light revealed by the formation, and deep down in his heart, he was more or less worried about a few people outside.
Originally, there was a formation like a moat, even if he wanted to go out to check, it would be inconvenient, but now Ding Zhengyi has initially mastered the context of this formation, so he has enough confidence to be able to go back and forth unscathed in this formation.
So it became a matter of course to go out first, or bring the four people outside directly into the cultivation process.
After all, this place is protected by a powerful formation, and the security aspect is much higher than the outside, and at the same time, this is comparable to the rich aura of the intermediate spirit vein, which is also very beneficial to their qi cultivation and cultivation, and in the long run, it can even increase the possibility of further progress.
But just as Ding Zhengyi nodded slightly, and then got up to go, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and after seeing him sigh lightly, he continued to sit down, as if to dispel this thought.
Although the moment just now was short, Ding Zhengyi thought a lot in his heart.
He reflected that if he only thought about sheltering them from the wind and rain and doing his best to create a superior cultivation environment, and neglected the cultivation of the state of mind that the monks should pay attention to, then the final result would only outweigh the losses.
The cultivation of the state of mind can never be separated from the innate personality of the monk, and in the same environment, people will only lose themselves, and the consequences of lack of improvisation will make them dull and rigid on the outside, and extremely fragile on the inside.
Just like pulling out seedlings to grow, this kind of rush will only continue to overdraw the potential of the family's future development, and it is not a long-term solution after all, and it is a choice that will do more harm than good for the current family and clansmen.
In addition to this aspect, there are two other reasons that prompt Ding Zhengyi to self-denial, which should not be overlooked, which are related to the limitations of natural conditions and the weighing of human instincts.
These days, when Ding Zhengyi was cultivating and leisure, he was also distracted and constantly felt and groped for the surrounding terrain and environment, trying to better understand the structural characteristics of this place, and at the same time, he unexpectedly found that with the increase of his consumption of spiritual energy, the concentration of surrounding spiritual energy was also slowly decreasing.
In the final analysis, the amount of spiritual energy emitted by the spiritual spring here is still quite limited, because in the traditional sense, it still belongs to the category of low-level spiritual veins.
Although by chance, the small area at its core position was barely raised to the level of the aura of the medium spiritual vein, but after all, there were still quite a few flaws.
Compared with the continuous overflow of aura from the real intermediate spirit vein, the innate limitation of the lack of aura of the "pseudo intermediate spirit vein" is simply insurmountable, and the essential difference between the two is also revealed.
Even if the current degree of decline in aura concentration can only be regarded as negligible, this cannot help but make Ding Zhengyi wait, he always understands one thing, only by knowing the subtleties and preventing the subtleties, can he win a better chance of survival and development for his family and himself.
Moreover, for a few people in the middle stage of Qi cultivation, the cultivation environment outside now was almost world-apart from that in the family, which was enough for them to carry out normal cultivation.
If you go far and then consume those limited spiritual energy at the core of the formation, this is tantamount to destroying the heavens, and in an incomparable sense, it is really a great waste.
In addition to the limitations of objective conditions, subjective emotional changes are also issues that Ding Zhengyi must take into account.
If Ding Zhengyi provides better cultivation conditions for the clansmen who meet the requirements, this in itself is understandable.
The necessary rewards and punishments are the foundation for the growth and growth of the family, which is particularly important in the early stage of development.
The various records in the classics, coupled with what Ding Zhengyi had heard and seen over the years, all made him know that any unrestricted efforts to give the clansmen perfect cultivation conditions would only encourage them to gain an atmosphere of not working hard, and in the long run, it would inevitably seriously hinder the progress of the family's overall strength.
Good intentions do bad things, thankless work, etc., these are not just words, things backfire, self-defeating allusions can be said to be endless in the cultivation world, enough to make Ding Zhengyi take warning.
Besides, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, from luxury to frugality, and the cultivation atmosphere that is not rich in money can make people maintain a positive and progressive attitude, and most of the casual cultivators on the Qingyun Continent are like this, they can often create a lot of progress with their meager cultivation resources.
On the other hand, comfort and wealth will make people lose their goals, so that they can do nothing, so many of the juniors of the sect who are still qualified continue to sink in such an environment, and finally end up annihilating everyone.
These concerns are not that Ding Zhengyi is unfounded, but that the current background of the Ding family is really shallow, and there is no room for him to be careless, otherwise the rare hope of the rise of the family in front of him is likely to miss it.
Slowly retracting his divergent thoughts, Ding Zhengyi frowned slightly, then shook his head slightly, and then he deflected his eyes that were staring at the formation light film, and after a short rest, he continued to start his daily cultivation.
After that, before I knew it, a few more days flew by.
During this period, Ding Zhengyi consumed as many as six hundred-year spirit peaches, and with the consumption of a large amount of resources and rich cultivation experience, he finally succeeded in opening up the third blockage of his seventh spirit aperture.
The results are exciting, but the process of dredging can be described as difficult step by step, even if Ding Zhengyi has explored several times, he already has a very strong shortcut to take, but the degree of difficulty in the middle, as well as the various torments in his heart, still make him overflowing.
Fortunately, the hard work paid off, except for these slightly tortuous experiences, the final harvest was not beyond Ding Zhengyi's expectations.
At this time, the nine hundred-year-old spirit peaches in his storage bag, as well as the progress of the spiritual network dredging, as well as the fact that his forging body was one step closer to the completion of the flesh and skin, and had reached more than eight hundred catties of strength, all of which highlighted the remarkable results of this adventure.
In the face of the next three blockages of the spiritual network, and even the realization of the Seven Spiritual Skill Qualification, a dream that Ding Zhengyi had never dared to think of, he did not suffer any more gains and losses, but decisively decided to make a brave progress.
However, with an extremely firm attitude, this does not mean that Ding Zhengyi will act recklessly, thousand-year-old spirit peaches can be met but not sought, and the necessary preparations before eating refining must be indispensable, at this point, his caution is far greater than before.
As for using the two thousand-year-old spirit peaches together to achieve a greater harvest, Ding Zhengyi at this time did not dare to have any thoughts at all.
People are self-aware, and they have to be able to figure out how many catties and taels they have.
Even if it is a peaceful and gentle vitality, it has been accumulated for thousands of years, and for the Qi cultivators who have cultivated to the bottom, it is already very reluctant to be able to effectively use it, if they are insatiable, the consequences will inevitably be unimaginable.
Next, Ding Zhengyi put aside all selfish distractions, and did not continue to distract him, but spent two full days, not only completely recuperating from the injuries he had when he first entered the formation, but also exhausting the fatigue caused by continuous cultivation these days, which can be regarded as a complete adjustment of his state.
When everything was ready, Ding Zhengyi carefully took out a thousand-year-old spirit peach from the storage bag, then looked at it carefully for a long time, and finally slowly swallowed it with an expression full of reluctance and expectation.
Almost at the moment of the entrance, a huge amount of vitality far exceeding the sum of the two Bailing Peach completely exploded in Ding Zhengyi's body, and the surging and even more majestic energy was caught off guard, and he almost scattered the divine consciousness he had mobilized with all his strength.
Fortunately, he had the experience of refining two hundred years spirit peaches many times, and for this breakthrough, Ding Zhengyi had made full preparations, so after getting through the initial rush, he finally managed to withstand this arduous test.
However, at this time, the unnatural shaking of the skin and flesh on his face, as well as the crystal sweat faintly oozing from his sideburns, silently expressed Ding Zhengyi's suffering situation, showing how miserable he is now.
Gritting his teeth, Ding Zhengyi decided to face this most difficult challenge head-on, and his indomitable will exploded in full force at this time, as if an unusually bright light was emitted in his heart, continuing to shine in the direction of his progress.
Wholeheartedly resisting the endless pressure, Ding Zhengyi tried his best to guide that energy forward, almost at a speed of advancing and retreating, repeatedly staggering towards the blocked spiritual network that needed to be dredged.
However, a difficult beginning usually means a happy ending.
When the magnificent energy under the restraint of the divine consciousness slowly infiltrated into the blocking spiritual network, those invisible impurities that had once made Ding Zhengyi helpless were no longer as deeply rooted as they were before, and at this time, they were like ice and snow melting, and they had disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The pleasure of the whole body was comfortable, and soon overwhelmed the original discomfort, so that Ding Zhengyi suddenly had the illusion of keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon, not to mention the joy in his heart, which was manifested in the fact that he felt refreshed inside and out.
Since stepping into the formation, all of Ding Zhengyi's efforts and setbacks seem to be covered up by the amazing rewards achieved at this moment, and the speed of dredging the spiritual network at this time is enough to make him embarrassed after years of unremitting struggle, making everything that happened in front of him feel like a dream.
I don't know how long it took, accompanied by Ding Zhengyi's soft groan, which had almost collapsed, his depressed breath that had been accumulated for a long time also shot out immediately, and correspondingly, at this time, his tired eyes flashed with a wandering essence.
