Chapter 25: The Sacrifice
At the beginning, Hao Feng wanted to refine a low-level attack-type spirit weapon first. Because even if it is an attacking spirit weapon, the speed of flight is definitely not comparable to that of a magic weapon. After the sacrifice is successful, the mid-level flying spirit boat will be sacrificed.
But the solemn reminder at the end of the sacrificial refining secret art made his thoughts come to naught. "During the Qi refining period, a cultivator sacrifices a spiritual weapon, no matter what grade or type, he can only choose it once in his life. Even if it is destroyed by the sacrificial spiritual weapon, there is no way to refine other spiritual weapons. ”
No one can say exactly why, it can only be attributed to the way of heaven. After all, the use of spiritual weapons by Qi refining period cultivators is itself a matter of transcending the realm.
Of course, there is no such restriction for monks in the foundation building period, as long as the mana and divine sense are strong enough, even if they manipulate three or four spiritual weapons at the same time, there is no problem. Hao Feng naturally couldn't think about this. Speed and attack, he can only choose between two things.
Finally, after comprehensive consideration, Hao Feng believed: "His purpose now is to leave the desert island and reduce the time spent on the sea. ”
Although, refining a low-level attack-type spirit weapon seems to be a good choice, speed and durability have a certain guarantee, and there is also a killer feature.
Cultivating the mid-level flying spirit boat, the flight speed is increased. Theoretically, persistence is reduced. Moreover, it doesn't have any attack power. No matter how you look at it, it seems that the gains outweigh the losses.
There are two sides to everything, though. Qi refining period cultivators use spiritual weapons, although each level of spiritual weapons is higher, the mana and divine consciousness consumed will increase exponentially. However, relatively speaking, the use of flying spirit weapons consumes much less mana and divine consciousness than using attack spirit weapons and defensive spirit weapons of the same level.
After all, both the attacking spirit weapon and the defensive spirit weapon are used by monks in battle, while the flying spirit weapon is just a rushing tool, the focus of the two is different, and the mana and divine consciousness consumed are naturally different.
Therefore, using a mid-level flying spirit boat to hurry, although it is more expensive than using a low-level attack spirit weapon to rush away, the mana and divine consciousness consumed is larger, but it will not be much higher.
If the sacrifice is very successful, it will use a low-level attack spirit weapon to hurry, and the mana and divine consciousness consumed will be about the same, but the speed will definitely be much faster. This is undoubtedly the use of flying spirit boats, the biggest advantage, the disadvantage is naturally that there is no aggression.
Hao Feng thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to sacrifice the mid-level flying spirit boat.
First, the purpose of Hao Feng's spiritual refining weapon is not just to leave the desert island. After going out, he had to look for his comrades. It is inevitable to wander in the immortal cultivation world for a long time.
But the world of cultivating immortals is not a legal society, and everything must speak with strength. During the adventure, I don't know what unknown dangers I will encounter, and invincible opponents.
Hao Feng believed: "When encountering something dangerous, or an invincible opponent, using speed to escape the scene, or getting out of the search range of the opponent's divine consciousness as soon as possible, is far more likely to survive than a head-on confrontation." ”
Ancient martial arts inheritance, chivalry is the foundation!
When the earth is in danger, Hao Feng can sacrifice everything, including his own life, for his country, for his brothers and sisters, and for his martial arts beliefs.
But in this strange planet, especially the treacherous and treacherous world of cultivating immortals, Hao Feng thinks: "There is nothing to be ashamed of when the soles of your feet are oiled and you slip away, and there is nothing wrong with it." ”
Moreover, in their last words, the predecessors of "Mo Chongxiao" also repeatedly emphasized the danger of cultivating immortals, so that later fellow villagers must be cautious! Be cautious! Everything must be on the premise of preserving their own lives.
Although this kind of thinking is very different from the education Hao Feng received since childhood, Hao Feng deeply believes it. Because only by saving his own life can he find his comrades-in-arms and find a way to go home together.
Second: "Hao Feng doesn't know when he will be able to enter the foundation building period." Even if you can't enter the foundation building period, it is very possible. He already felt that his spiritual root qualifications were indeed not good, even if it was a waste spiritual root with all five attributes, there was nothing strange about it.
If it were another monk, there might not be the slightest chance of entering the foundation building period. Fortunately, the exercises he cultivated were relatively special, and the requirements for spiritual root qualifications were not high. Moreover, the predecessors of "Mo Chongxiao" also left a large number of immortal cultivation resources, which gave Hao Feng the confidence to enter a higher level of immortal cultivation. But there is no doubt that he will still stay in the realm of the Qi refining period for a long time.
From these two perspectives, the role of the mid-level flying spirit boat is undoubtedly greater.
However, Hao Feng was not prepared to start the sacrifice immediately. After all, he had just entered the late stage of the Qi Refining Period, and his realm had not yet stabilized.
Better tools make good work. Sharpening the knife is not a mistake for woodcutters, and ordinary people have to sharpen the knife before killing a pig, not to mention refining a middle-level spiritual weapon.
Hao Feng is ready to cultivate well for a while longer, and after the realm is completely stabilized, he will cultivate to the peak of the seventh layer of the Qi Refining Period, and even enter the eighth layer of the Qi Refining Period, and then go to the Spirit Boat to refine the Spirit Boat.
But he didn't plan to take that super-strong version of the pill cultivation again. The stagnation in previous cultivation was due to the bottleneck of the exercises, not that the pills taken had no effect.
Now that the bottleneck has been broken and he has entered the seventh layer of the Qi Refining Period as he wished, it is naturally better to take the previous pill. The super strong version of the elixir is indispensable.
In the following days, Hao Feng first tried to shrink the Tianji House once. Although he reached the late stage of the Qi refining period, he still struggled so hard that he almost exhausted his mana divine sense before he shrunk the Heavenly Machine House to the size of a palm.
Although it is controlled through the imprint of the divine soul of the predecessor of the "Demon Pet Xiao", Hao Feng is also proud of being able to shrink the Tianji House with the cultivation of the Qi refining period. After all, Tianji House belongs to the magic weapon level.
After the Tianji House was shrunk, it was almost the same as a storage bag to access things inside, and it didn't have any effect.
Completely relieved, Hao Feng began to take medicine and practice again. Sure enough, as expected, in the late stage of the Qi refining period, although the effect of the pills taken before had weakened, it was also within the acceptable range.
Nearly ten months have passed, and the realm of Hao Feng's late Qi refining period has already been completely stabilized. Although Xiuwei had not yet entered the eighth layer of the Qi Refining Period, he had basically reached the peak realm of the seventh layer, barely meeting the requirements for breaking through to the eighth layer.
Hao Feng originally wanted to go all out and cultivate to the eighth layer of the Qi Refining Period. But at this time, the effect of the configured Qi Refining Dispersion was already minimal, and it was difficult to make progress in cultivation.
Hao Feng's heart was horizontal, and he took that super strong version of the pill twice, trying to forcibly break through the eighth layer realm, but he failed to succeed, but he tossed himself a lot.
Especially the second time, the meridian damage was extremely serious, and it took nearly 20 days of rest to recover. As a result, Hao Feng said that he didn't dare to try again. He reluctantly found that if he wanted to break through the exercises again, he would not have to take the truly refined elixir.
Because, during this period, when Hao Feng was preparing the elixir, he had gradually increased the medicinal age of the earth keel to about three hundred and fifty years, and the medicinal age of other elixirs had also increased accordingly.
This medicinal age should be a dividing line between Qi refining stage monks and foundation building stage monks using elixir.
Even if Hao Feng's physique far exceeds that of ordinary monks, the exercises he cultivates are also quite special. But the elixir used, once it exceeds this medicinal age, the meridians will be damaged.
Although the damage is less than taking that super powerful version of the elixir, it must not be taken for a long time. Otherwise, something will definitely go wrong. This is a kind of realm containment.
Without the corresponding pills to take, his cultivation once again stagnated, making Hao Feng extremely depressed.
Although he could also continue to cultivate with the help of the aura of the underground space, with his unlucky qualifications, he didn't know if it was the Year of the Monkey and Ma Yue when the light really reached the peak realm of the seventh layer.
This kind of uncertain thing, Hao Feng naturally didn't have much hope, and he decided to start refining the spirit boat.
Although he had not yet fully reached the peak of the seventh layer of the Qi Refining Period, Hao Feng felt that his mana and divine sense definitely surpassed that of ordinary Qi Refining Stage Great Perfection cultivators. It should be possible to refine the mid-level spirit boat to a relatively complete level.
When I came to the Tianji House, I meditated for more than an hour, and adjusted my spirit to the best state. Hao Feng then took out the flying spirit boat and prepared for the sacrifice.
The flying spirit boat, but the size of a palm, small and exquisite, like a delicate mold boat.
The whole body of the spirit boat is pale white, and there are inconspicuous runes shuttling through the inner wall, which runs through the entire boat body, and it looks complicated.
Hao Feng studied these runes for a long time, and he didn't come up with a reason, but he knew that these runes were the internal center of the spirit boat and the key to the sacrifice.
According to the secret technique of sacrificial alchemy, Hao Feng first used the object control technique to hold the spirit boat in the air, and then released his divine sense to completely wrap it, slowly making the spirit weapon resonate with himself.
In this process, the monk must not only completely release his divine consciousness, but also compress it at all times, so that his divine consciousness can be condensed as much as possible. The denser the power of the divine sense, the more it can resonate with the spirit weapon as soon as possible.
This kind of thing is naturally extremely consuming of divine sense, and it is also a great test of the monk's perseverance.
This is the first and most crucial step in the process of refining spiritual weapons. If you can't resonate with the spirit weapon, you can't send mana to it at all.
This process can be as little as ten days or as much as half a month, and if you can't get the approval of the spiritual weapon, it means that the sacrifice has failed.
Moreover, there is no chance of a new start over this failure. Even if the divine sense rises and is cultivated again in the future, this spiritual weapon will not accept the slightest, and can only choose the spiritual weapon again.
Therefore, if a cultivator in the Qi refining period sacrifices a spiritual weapon, if he can't succeed at one time, if he wants to use it, he can only use it in the advanced foundation building period.
Although Hao Feng has many spiritual weapons, the special flying spiritual weapon is also the only one, so he is naturally fully focused and does not dare to relax in any way.
An hour later, he sat cross-legged, his body motionless, but his face was faintly pale; two hours later, Hao Feng's face became red, sweat slipped down the tip of his nose from time to time, and his breathing became heavy; three hours later, Hao Feng's head was steaming, sweat wet his trouser legs, and his expression was even more gritted teeth, but he still held the law with his hands and insisted desperately.
This is not to say that in the first sacrifice, Hao Feng felt the hope of success, so he insisted desperately.
But in everything, the foundation determines the height, and the sacrificial spirit weapon is no exception. The first few sacrifices were all laying the foundation, and the first time was even more crucial!
This is equivalent to the first impression when people interact with each other, Hao Feng naturally has to go all out. Holding on for one minute is the key to success or failure, and it is also the key to how much power you can exert in the future.
However, more than three hours has basically reached his limit.
