Chapter 236: Dan Ling
This time Ning Dan, under the premise that the two-body immortal toad provided enough aura, Tian Xu's Jin Dan was nearly double that of before, reaching more than ten centimeters. As before, after the golden pill expanded to the belly, it no longer expanded outward, but developed to the periphery, and finally formed a flying saucer shape with a flat side and a bulge.
The golden pill condensed this time is very different from the past, and there are two obvious differences:
First, this Jin Dan is soft, and it can be twisted and deformed at will with Tian Xu's will, rather than a piece of hard bang under normal circumstances. Although he hadn't found out what kind of benefits such a golden pill was, at least it hadn't affected his control and application of the golden pill.
Second, his Jindan has a will of his own. This will is flexible, alive, able to communicate with and ultimately subordinate to his will. This is different from his previous use of mind control to use the aura in the golden pill, this will has its own subjective thoughts.
Regarding the peculiarity of the latter point, Tian Xu quickly realized its benefits. The will of that newborn was originally the will of Reiki, and its understanding of Reiki was far from what Tian Xu had learned by relying on his own little bit of exploration. For the accumulation and application of aura, Jin Dan's will quickly gave some suggestions, so that Tian Xu's many inexplicable problems in aura, were quickly solved.
After Tian Xu communicated with this cute elf, he gave a name to the will of this golden pill: Dan Ling, which is the elf in the golden pill.
Dan Ling has just sprouted, and many of his ideas are still very naΓ―ve, just like a child who has just learned to speak, some are witty, some are ignorant, and have no social experience at all, and his words and deeds reveal a childish state.
Fortunately, this Dan Ling's orders to Tian Xu will be carried out unconditionally, and for his own suggestions, he will only implement them after asking Tian Xu for instructions one by one, so Tian Xu is not worried about what trouble it will cause.
Driven by Dan Ling, Tian Xu began to try to think about cultivation from the perspective of aura, and after changing his perspective, many of the problems that had plagued him for a long time were solved.
The only cultivators that Tian Xu really came into contact with were Xu Jingyi, the Great Elder, the Twin Body Immortal Toad, and the big hand that had attacked him, and the difference between these Saint Realm Earth Immortals and the one he could see before Ascension was the most important thing was the other party's powerful stealth ability. As for the attack and protection ability of frontal combat, Tian Xu didn't have too obvious feelings, maybe the Great Elder was a little sharper in his attack, but it had the bonus effect of stealth sneak attack, and it was impossible to count.
He couldn't see the comparison of Xu Jingyi's strength before and after his sanctification. The difference in realm and strength between himself and Xu Jingyi is too big, so big that he can't understand the strength of the other party, and there is no reference significance at all.
As for the big palms and double-body immortal toads that had been handed over, Tian Xu had never seen the situation before their ascension, and there was no way to compare. But if the factor of stealth raid is excluded, Tian Xu thinks that he will not be too inferior to them. At most, it is only slightly stronger than the cultivators of the peak realm of Ning Dan.
It is precisely because of this that he came to a conclusion: after the Tribulation Ascension enters the Holy Realm, the new ability that he will inevitably obtain is stealth, and the movement speed seems to be faster. As for the actual combat effectiveness, it will not immediately get a qualitative leap like Ning Dan, or at least there will be a transition period, or a period of adaptation to the new body.
When Tian Xu and Dan Ling talked about this problem, they didn't expect that in Dan Ling, this was not a problem at all: "After the tribulation, I gave up the burden of the physical body, and the new body was completely condensed by spiritual energy. Reiki itself is qi, and it is only because it carries very strong energy that it is noticed by cultivators and applied. When the energy in the aura is extracted, it is no different from ordinary gas, and of course it is difficult to detect. β
Now Tian Xu understood: "That's right! Becoming a Holy Realm Immortal, as long as the energy in the aura on the surface of the body is extracted, a layer of skin with natural stealth functions will be formed, and of course it can easily avoid the detection of my olfactory imaging." For those ordinary cultivators who don't have the ability to smell imaging, this stealth ability is even more impossible to deal with, and the name of 'immortal' is probably derived from this. β
"It's easy to say, but it's very difficult for you to achieve the same stealth ability as the Realm of Sanctification," Dan Ling said, "You have your own physical body. The small molecules that emanate from your body form scents, your activities vibrate the air and form sounds, and your body influences the propagation of light and forms images...... All of these must be covered up in order to achieve the stealth effect of the sanctification realm, which is much more difficult to do than the sanctification realm that abandons the physical body. β
"That means that when I was fighting in the Sainthood Realm, I couldn't get rid of the passive situation of being attacked by the other party's stealth and surprise?" Tian Xu also thought of these problems that Dan Ling was said to have, some of which were almost unsolvable when condensing Dan Realm.
"Or you can consider abandoning the physical body, or at least like the two-body fairy toad, using the aura to condense another body, and you can achieve it. Dan Ling came up with a viable idea.
But when it comes to abandoning his body, Tian Xu is a little reluctant. He couldn't imagine what it was like to have a body condensed with aura.
Although it is basically impossible to be invisible like the Sainthood Realm, Tian Xu is still quite satisfied with the results of this discussion. He can at least use this method to achieve a certain degree of stealth, if he refines it into a stealth formation, it will always be stronger than the stealth formation refined by Fang Jing of Kitatang.
"Since stealth can't be done, let's see if we can see through the other party's stealth. Tian Xu changed the direction of solving the problem, "Xiao Ling, is there any way to see through the stealth of the Holy Realm, or what are the flaws of this stealth method used by the Earth Immortal of the Holy Realm?"
"Hmm......" Dan Ling thought for a moment and said, "It seems that there is no good way to do it for a while." β
After worrying about Dan Ling for a while, Tian Xu gave up. Dan Ling only has a deeper understanding of aura, but she has no concept at all about some actual combat techniques and the like, so it is more reliable for her to come up with ideas, as well as pondering them herself.
Putting aside this question for a while, Tian Xu floated out of the water, and when she looked at the purple smoke, she saw her sitting cross-legged on the big stone she usually used for cultivation, and the spiritual energy in her body dispersed into a big ball, but she was practicing the sun-chasing technique, and she had already disintegrated the golden pill in her body.
When I looked at Ziyan's state, I should have practiced the fourth posture and was meditating.
This sun-chasing trick is also peculiar. Due to the existence of meditation, everyone's state and ability after cultivation are different. Ziyan practiced the sun-chasing technique under Tian Xu's teaching, and when the part of the practice was unfolded, it was much lighter and more dexterous than Tian Xu's own cast, and there was no trace. And when he used the trick of chasing the sun, he looked like he was pulling out the mountains and covering the world, and he was mighty.
Tian Xu looked at it for a while, and found that Ziyan's cultivation of the second layer and fourth form was still a little difficult, and he should not stop in a short time. Since he started condensing pills, he has been cultivating for several days, but now he doesn't want to cultivate immediately, so he found the Yin Yang Ding who was chatting with Shennong hoe, and carried him to a mountain col where he usually alchemizes, and began alchemy.
Tian Xu went out this time, and a lot of the large amount of pills he carried with him were used up, and he needed to refine a batch and take it with him for emergencies. And the next time I go out, I will go directly to Bermuda after coming out of the Medicine King Valley, and I may not be able to return to the Medicine King Dou for a long time, and it is not convenient to prepare a large number of pills to bring with me. In particular, the Great Qi Replenishing Pill and the Small Golden Pill used to replenish his vitality were necessary for him to upgrade outside, otherwise he would not be able to find a place where the spiritual energy was sufficient for him to recondense the pill.
After refining several furnaces of pills in a row, Tian Xu was driven away by the Yin Yang Ding: "You stupid boy, refining these conventional pills, and you have to proceed so steadily and step by step, how much time do you have to waste? β
The elixir here is complete, the aura is abundant, Tian Xu condensed the Danhuo and threw it into the Yin Yang Ding, and told the Yin Yang Ding the variety and quantity of the elixir to be refined, so he didn't care about him anymore, but he flew to the top of the mountain to see the plateau jade bee.
A few years have passed, and the plateau jade bee has more than doubled its original reproduction. The bee colony listened to Tian Xu's advice and did not expand wantonly, but focused its development attention on the improvement of the individual strength of the jade bee. When Tian Xu came to the hive, he saw the jade bees coming in and out, looking vibrant.
In the past few years, the will of the bee colony has grown rapidly without external interference, and it has gotten rid of the original ignorant appearance, and when Tian Xu was still some distance away from the hive, he commanded the jade bees to welcome his arrival.
Tian Xu came to see the bee colony, he didn't have any special purpose, he just came here for a casual walk, he didn't stay here for long, he said hello and left. However, before leaving, he glanced back at the inside of the hive, and was attracted by the large patch of bee chrysalis and adult jade bees sealed with beeswax inside: "What is this?"
"This is an imperfectly developed jade bee," replied the colony, "and because we want to control the size of the colony, we will develop into a boutique and store some imperfectly developed offspring here." These bee pupae and jade bees, after many years here, will gradually turn jade and become the elixir in the mouth of the owner. For us, this can be regarded as eugenics, and it is also useful to the owner, which can be described as a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. β
"This won't have any effect on you, right?" Tian Xu was a little uneasy, worried that the dissatisfaction of the bee colony would bring unnecessary trouble. Although he and the Medicine King can suppress it, it is not a good thing if the bee colony has resentment.
Unexpectedly, the reply of the bee colony was different: "Not only does it have no effect, but it seems to be more beneficial to us." β
"We haven't done this before, in the harsh natural environment outside, our jade bees have a fairly high mortality rate when they are active outside, and our natural evolution is done through selection from the outside. The rate of evolution is quite slow, and many times the jade bees with better traits die by accident and are not preserved. Now that we lack natural predators and have a comfortable environment, if we do not make our own choices, our development will be mixed. Now that we are actively making our own choices, we have found a shortcut to self-evolution. β
