Chapter 15: A dilemma

Although Hao Feng didn't look forward to making great progress in the exercises and getting more longevity, he was full of desire to gain strength, because he still had a lot of things on his mind.

In a world full of myths, whether you want to find your brothers or try to return home, you must have strong strength as a guarantee. Otherwise, everything is in vain.

Although he has not officially entered the immortal cultivation world, he still has some understanding of the basic situation of the immortal cultivation world from some of the experiences recorded by the predecessors of "Mo Chongxiao".

It was a world where strength was respected, and there was no legal doctrine, and most of the monks were ruthless and ruthless among themselves, and they would do whatever it took to achieve their goals, and murder and treasure abounded. The high-level monks treat the low-level monks like ants, and if there is a slight problem, they will be killed at every turn, which is regarded as a common thing. A mere Qi refining period cultivator, no matter how special the cultivation method is, no matter how powerful it is, what can it be counted if it is placed in the outside immortal cultivation realm?

The predecessor of "Mo Chongxiao", a master of Jindan Great Perfection, will inevitably die if he is not careful. What's more, his little bit of cultivation may be destroyed by others in a few minutes.

That kind of result Hao Feng naturally couldn't accept. Fortunately, after a year or two, Hao Feng also studied the "Hundred Herb Experience" and "Alchemy Initial Solution" left by the predecessors of the "Demon Pet Xiao" in the jade slip, but he could think of a way to improve the speed of cultivation on the elixir.

It's not that Hao Feng didn't want to use the elixir at first. But in the world of cultivating immortals, even the most ordinary elixirs are often tens or hundreds of years, and the medicinal power is relatively strong, and it is not easy to be absorbed.

Therefore, these elixirs need to be refined at high temperatures to form the so-called "elixir" before they can be consumed.

If it is not refined, it is only ordinarily blended, or taken directly, although it can also play some roles, but it must not even have two or three tenths of the due effect, which is undoubtedly a tyrannical thing.

If it was just a waste of some medicinal power, Hao Feng didn't care, anyway, the amount of elixir he had, the monks of the Yuan Infant Stage would be blushing when they saw it. But the hidden dangers caused by taking the elixir like that made him stop the fire dumbfounded.

Because no matter what kind of immortal cultivation method, it is the monk who absorbs spiritual energy from the outside world, enters the meridian refinement, turns it into spiritual power, and then stores it in the dantian to form the so-called mana. The purpose of taking elixir is to refine the medicinal power and form a huge aura in the body for the monk to directly refine and absorb. Therefore, the speed of cultivation is naturally much faster than absorbing spiritual energy from outside the body.

However, if the elixir is not refined into a pill, if you take it directly, because it only absorbs two or three out of ten of the medicinal power, the rest of the impurities and the remaining medicinal power will slowly accumulate in the meridians.

It may be fine for a while, but it will definitely cause a catastrophe after a long time. In the worst case, the meridians are blocked, affecting the operation of spiritual power, and in the worst case, the meridians are paralyzed, and the cultivation is in vain!

If a monk takes the elixir directly as a last resort, it will take a lot of time and energy afterwards to remove the residual medicinal power and impurities in the meridians.

Otherwise, the consequences will be terrible, and the hidden dangers will erupt without knowing when, and they will fall into a life-and-death dilemma.

The hidden dangers are huge, and no one wants to do things that outweigh the losses. Hao Feng is certainly no exception.

But if you want to refine the elixir, the most basic conditions are the Dan furnace and fire. There is no shortage of Dan furnaces, and the predecessors of "Mo Chongxiao" are Dan Dao masters themselves, so they naturally leave a lot of Dan furnaces. But fire is a big problem.

Because the elixir used for refining is not an ordinary flame, it generally refers to the monk's pure yang true fire, or Dan fire.

The pure yang true fire can only be produced in the foundation building period, and the Dan fire, not to mention, is a basic sign of the monks of the Jindan period. Naturally, Hao Feng didn't have either.

However, it is not that a cultivator in the Qi refining period cannot refine the pill. Because, there is another kind of flame that can also satisfy the alchemy of monks, and that is earth fire.

The so-called earth fire is the fire of the center of the earth formed by nature itself.

The ordinary fire of the center of the earth, after being guided and gathered by the monks with a magic circle, can erupt heat energy comparable to the true fire of the foundation building period, and the earth fire of the higher level is not much better than the fire of the monks of the Jindan period.

Earth fire is also the longest flame used by monks for alchemy. Even the foundation building period and the Jindan period are no exception.

Although their own pure yang true fire, or Dan fire, can be used for alchemy. But after all, it is not as stable and durable as the earth fire. In case the alchemy reaches a critical juncture, but his mana is not good, and the real fire is revealed, wouldn't it be a failure.

Therefore, as a last resort, few monks choose to use real fire or Dan fire to refine the pill, and most of them choose the appropriate earth fire.

This kind of fire in the center of the earth can naturally be used by Qi refining period cultivators. But there is no fire on the island. Therefore, Hao Feng could only look at the many elixirs and drool.

As for how the predecessors of "Mo Chongxiao" used to refine the pill, it is unknown. However, as a monk who has achieved great success in the Jindan period, even if the Jindan is shattered at the beginning and his cultivation is greatly damaged, he must release some pure yang true fire, which is still feasible to use for alchemy, and with the recovery of the Jindan's warmth, it will not be a problem.

But Hao Feng's desire to refine the elixir has become a big problem, making him a little helpless. If this problem is not difficult to solve outside, just find a Xiuxianfang City, and the problem can be solved.

Xiuxianfang City is a major gathering place for immortal cultivators, and it is similar to a secular market. However, most of the people who came and went inside were monks, and few people from the world came and went. Most of the cultivation materials sold and circulated were all kinds of cultivation materials needed by monks.

Generally speaking, Xiuxianfang City is mostly built in places with aura or fire in the center of the earth. Transform the Fire in the Center of the Earth into a fire house and rent it out to monks who need it. This is not only an important benefit for the market, but also a means to gather popularity.

Unless Hao Feng leaves the desert island, where is there any Xiuxianfang City! The entire island can speak, and he is the only one. But getting out of here is easier said than done!

The predecessors of "Mo Chongxiao" have already made a brief introduction to this sea area and the location of the desert island in the beastskin book.

"Blue Abyss Sea", across the Fuling Continent close to the center of the position, the north and south are not a few wide, and the east and west are even more insignificant, dividing the entire continent into two, isolating the north and south, and it is also considered a great name in the entire Fuling Continent.

The desert island is located in the southern part of the entire sea area, and if you go 60,000 or 70,000 miles to the south, you can set foot on the border inland at the southern end of the Fuling Continent. During this period, it was all a vast sea with no place to stay.

Sixty or seventy thousand li, even if the length unit of the Tang Dynasty was relatively small, only more than 400 meters per mile, that total is a kilometer, and it is enough to 20,000 or 30,000 kilometers.

When Hao Feng saw this record, his whole body and mind were **, "How big is this planet!?" Twenty or thirty thousand kilometers can circle the earth, and it is only a part of the sea here.

As for how long it will take to set foot on land in the north, the predecessors of "Mo Chongxiao" are not very clear. It's just that according to the records in the classics, at the northern end of the Blue Abyss Sea, there is still a vast land. Whether it is specific or not, I don't know.

Although the Blue Abyss Sea is extremely vast, few islands appear. Not to mention any spiritual mountain resorts and immortal cultivation materials.

As a result, very few monks enter the sea. The predecessors of "Mo Chongxiao" were also forced to be helpless back then, so they rushed in and escaped a catastrophe.

Fortunately, he was lucky enough to encounter this island, otherwise he would have died a long time ago. After all, he was seriously injured at the time and was in urgent need of healing. Although he can also enter the Sky Machine House and sink it to the bottom of the sea. Then, take your time to figure it out. But without the nourishment of aura, the injury can only get worse and worse, and it is inevitable that he will die when he collapses.

Moreover, there is nothing strange about this sea area, not only is it bottomless, but after going deep into the bottom of the sea, the divine consciousness will also be greatly compressed. When it reached thirty or forty thousand meters, the divine consciousness could only extend for one hundred and ten meters.

Although the "Mo Chongxiao" predecessor was shattered at that time and his cultivation was greatly damaged, his divine sense was not a big problem. In terms of his cultivation in the later stage of Jindan, once his divine consciousness is displayed, there is absolutely no problem in extending the range of forty or fifty miles. At that time, it was compressed to 100 meters, which is simply incredible.

At that time, there was also a hint of ominous signs in his heart, as if he would definitely encounter great danger if he sank further. With the situation at that time, he dared to try it easily.

Later, after recovering from his injuries, the predecessors of "Mo Chongxiao" went deep into the bottom of the sea to explore again. But this time, as soon as he went down 20,000 or 30,000 meters, the ominous signs in his heart actually became terrifying and dangerous, as if a catastrophe was about to come.

Thinking of some ancient legends, he hurried out to the surface of the sea. After a while, the feeling of fear and danger in my heart was swept away.

There are occasional ominous signs in the mind, and everyone may have encountered them. However, most ordinary people think that it is just an intuition that arises from thinking or being nervous. Also, the signs they produce are not too strong, so most people don't pay much attention to them.

But as an immortal cultivator, or a martial artist, he is extremely concerned about this kind of vigilance. Because the immortal cultivator has opened the divine sense, the mental power of the martial artist is also much stronger than that of ordinary people. Their sensitivity to some dangerous things in the dark is far higher than that of ordinary people.

Although this feeling is punctual and inaccurate, no one dares to take it lightly. However, since it was okay not to go deep into the seabed, and at that time, the predecessors of "Mo Chongxiao" really needed a place to stay, so they continued to stay on the desert island, but the idea of continuing to explore the seabed was completely extinguished.

After a long time, I slowly put this matter behind me. It's just that in the end, when I recorded my experience, I wrote it down by hand, reminding the people destined on the earth not to go deep into the bottom of the sea, just in case.

This kind of thing undoubtedly dispelled Hao Feng's idea of using the special functions of Tianji House to leave the desert island. What the Dacheng monks in the later stage of Jindan didn't dare to try, doing it by himself as a rookie in the Qi training period was definitely an act of looking for death.

However, with the cultivation of the fifth layer of the Qi refining period, flying directly away from the sea area of more than 20,000 or 30,000 kilometers is absolutely wishful thinking.

Hao Feng entered the middle stage of the Qi training period, and after being able to fly with a weapon, he tested it several times, and more than 300 kilometers was his limit, which was only one hundredth of the distance!

If you want to go out, according to his preliminary estimate, you have to cultivate at least the eighth layer of the Qi refining period, and then with the help of a special flying magic weapon, you can have a chance of success.

But without the help of elixir, I would be able to cultivate to the eighth-layer realm in the Year of the Monkey! I'm afraid that by then, the daylily will definitely grow hair, not to mention cold!

But if you don't go out, you go there to find the earth fire and try alchemy, so as to speed up your cultivation? Hao Feng suddenly fell into a dilemma.

In desperation, he could only grit his teeth, endure the speed of an old turtle, and continue to cultivate. But when he was at the fifth level of the Qi refining period and continued to cultivate for a few months, he couldn't bear it anymore.

The realm of the exercises, compared to half a year ago, is almost standing still, without any progress.

The cultivation of the "Nine Yuan Holy Decision" was slow, and Hao Feng was already prepared in his heart. But it was so slow during the Qi refining period, it was absolutely unreasonable. He also combined some of the experiences and speculations of the predecessors of "Mo Chongxiao" to do a careful study of the exercises, and there was nothing wrong with it, and everything was developing in the established direction.

"Hehe, it seems that it must be a problem with one's own spiritual root. I'm afraid that my spiritual root is far from the general qualifications mentioned by the predecessors of "Mo Chongxiao"!"

"Do you want to be trapped on a desert island for the rest of your life?" Looking at the countless spiritual flowers and plants in front of him, Hao Feng smiled bitterly, and his heart sank into the abyss little by little. Sitting on Baoshan, but trapped in the gloomy and desolate mood of the sorrowful city!
