Chapter 34: Final Preparations

Zheng Changfa left Zhang Zhiping with a pale face, not that Zhang Zhiping wanted to pour cold water, but that this is the case, once the other four major factions get the news, it is likely to cause a big war, after all, in addition to preventing the Qingsong Ancestor from breaking through, the Jindan Great Perfection Ancestor of the other sects may also be interested in the Tianwen Stone.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiping also looked serious, now that the Five Kingdoms are peaceful, it is a good time to cultivate, if there is a war between the Five Kingdoms, then don't think about getting out. He couldn't help but have a sense of urgency in his heart, hoping that this news would not be known by the other four major factions, or, if he knew, he would not go crazy and cause a big war. But he felt that this big battle was probably inevitable, and he had to improve his cultivation as soon as possible.

But there are still some details that need to be perfected in his Mud Pill God's method of refining gods, and he has just been seriously injured, and he needs a period of recuperation to fully recover his body, otherwise if he breaks through immediately, it will have a great impact on his future. After thinking about it, Zhang Zhiping gritted his teeth and made a breakthrough after a year of cultivation, and the four major factions should not know the news so quickly; even if they knew the news, there might not be a big war, maybe they were worried about the sky; even if there was a big war, the war could not be moved, and it would take a while to prepare for it.

Zhang Zhiping made up his mind and immediately prepared. It is not a simple thing to break through the late stage of qi refining in the middle stage of qi refining, compared to the fact that you only need to constantly nurture your soul from the early stage of qi refining to the middle stage of qi refining, you need to open up the sea of knowledge in your mind and compress a large amount of soul power into spiritual power.

So Zhang Zhiping immediately began to collect some treasures to assist in the breakthrough. With the support of Zhou Jing's Evergreen Pavilion, he easily sold a large number of talismans and earned a large number of spirit stones, after all, it was only a breakthrough in the Qi cultivation period, and the auxiliary treasures were not too lacking, so he easily got a lot.

Among the treasures that assist in breaking through the late stage of Qi refining, in fact, the most important thing is the Soul Nourishing Pill, because it is necessary to open up the sea of knowledge and condense spiritual power, and what is needed most is a large amount of soul power, so Zhang Zhiping changed his habit of rarely taking pills in the past, and would take a Soul Nourishing Pill every day to make his soul stronger again.

Zhang Zhiping has already made the preparations for the breakthrough very complete, even if he breaks through now, it is very likely to succeed, after all, the level between the two has not reached the point of world difference. But what he was most worried about was the Mud Pill God, which represented not only the gods in his body, but also whether he could improve the cultivation body god system, rather than forming one or two by chance.

The mud pill refers to the brain, so the sacrifice of the mud pill god is the sacrifice of the brain as the object of visualization, and the brain is the most important part of the human body, so the mud pill god is also the most important in the body and spirit system, and it is the core of the entire body and spirit system. Zhang Zhiping used the "Huang Tingjing" in the previous life, opened up the sea of knowledge in this world, It took five years to slowly complete the essence of refining the spirit of the mud pill god visualization, it can be said that this is a systematic summary of his cultivation since his cultivation, and it is also the basis for him to go on step by step in the future, so it is worth paying attention to it, he is not willing to fail his cultivation because of a small mistake, or even a series of complete failures, so he must recuperate his body to the best before he tries to break through.

Zhang Zhiping cultivated slowly, indulging in the perfection of the Divine Refining Technique, and even forgot about the Jade Scorpion and the improvement of the spiritual root qualifications. Fortunately, he went to Qingsong City in advance to buy a lot of things, which was enough for the Jade Scorpion to live and cultivate for a year, and the matter of improving the spiritual root qualification would be talked about after he broke through.

A year passed quickly, and the Immortal Cultivation Realm was calm, and nothing seemed to have happened, but in Qingsong City, the shops of the other four major factions left for one reason after another, making the entire Qingsong City a lot depressed. Qingsongmen didn't seem to know anything about this, and didn't stop them, letting them leave, the immortal cultivation world fell into a strange calm for a while, and some sharp-minded monks also sensed a trace of abnormality from it, and began to stay away from Qingsong City and settle in other places.

Zhang Zhiping was still in the process of perfecting the Divine Refining Method at this time, and only then did he realize how difficult it was to perfect a book of exercises, and he had to go to the Dharma Transmission Pavilion, wanting to learn from the rest of the exercises to further supplement his foundation. Fortunately, he had a good relationship with Yun Qing, and he made a lot of excuses, and finally let Yun Qing agree to his request that he could stay in the Dharma Transmission Pavilion, after all, it was only a practice of Qi period exercises, and Qingsongmen didn't care too much about it.

Half a year later, Zhang Zhiping read all the thousands of exercises in the Dharma Pavilion during the Qi cultivation period, each of which had a part of breaking through the late stage of Qi refining in the middle stage of Qi training, although it was much the same, but that little bit of difference, bit by bit accumulation, also allowed him to gain a lot of knowledge about the sea and spiritual power, which became the basis for him to improve the mud pill god refining method. At the same time, his "Shengyuan Gong" has also been greatly improved, he did not choose to integrate the advantages of all the exercises into it, but selected the most typical, can cooperate with each other and integrate the advantages into the "Shengyuan Gong", which suddenly made "Shengyuan Gong" have a qualitative improvement.

Zhang Zhiping can faintly feel that his comprehension of the five elements has almost reached the extreme of a current stage, which is not to say any vague understanding of the five elements, but to say that the role of each five elements spell, characteristics and other detailed things, such as as the increase in temperature, the nature of fire in each stage, state performance, etc., he knows it well, and finally, he summarized all the spells he learned into a spell system, with clear layers and mutual integration, which he called the Five Elements Escape Method.

The Five Elements Escape Method is not a spell that uses the Five Elements to escape, but a spell system that takes the Five Elements Mana as the core and integrates the essence of the Five Elements. Of course, he is still far from reaching this point, but he has already laid a good foundation

Zhang Zhiping felt that he had risen to the limit of the middle stage of Qi refining, and if he wanted to go further, he had to break through the late stage of Qi refining, so naturally, Zhang Zhiping entered the retreat.

When Zhang Zhiping was in retreat, the struggle in the immortal cultivation world intensified, and the overall situation of the five major factions ruling the five countries gradually changed, and it became a situation in which the Qingsong Sect resisted the four major factions alone. Among them, the most exciting is undoubtedly the Scattered Cultivation Alliance. The Scattered Cultivation Alliance has always been suppressed by the combined efforts of the five major factions, but there are too many sources of Scattered Cultivation, and although the five major factions can suppress it, they can't deal much damage to it, so even in the worst period, the Scattered Cultivation Alliance still has four immortal cities in its hands, which can be described as full of confidence. But the resources it occupies can't match its huge power, the five major factions directly occupy sixty percent of the resources of the Five Kingdoms Immortal Cultivation Realm, and most of the time, the Scattered Cultivation Alliance can only drink some of the soup and water left by the five major factions, and now the situation in the Five Kingdoms Immortal Cultivation Realm has changed, which is really beneficial to it.

In addition to the five major factions and the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, there are also many large and small forces in the Five Kingdoms Immortal Cultivation Realm, some of these forces look very similar to the sects, they all occupy a piece of territory, and then collect disciples' teachings; some are family forces, with an immortal cultivator family as the core; and some are evil cultivators, creating forces just to better cultivate evil laws, etc., all of them add up to a large force, they are all hanging under the name of the five major factions or scattered cultivation alliances on the surface, but in fact, they all go their own way, affecting the situation in the immortal cultivation world。
