Su Chen was on the coast of the East China Sea near Penglai Immortal Sect, the sun rose to the sea, the sun set and returned, and even flew thousands of miles away, hunting and killing bloodthirsty demon sharks and other demon beasts on the sea, absorbing the blood of demon beasts, and cultivating the first chapter of the "Devouring Yuan Code", "Blood-devouring Formula".

In this area of the East China Sea near Penglai Immortal Sect, there are almost no high-level sea monsters above the golden pill. Those Jindan Sea Demon Beasts already had a high level of spiritual intelligence, and they also knew that Penglai Immortal Sect could not afford to provoke them, so they would take the initiative to avoid them.

Only a large number of Qi Refining Grade and a small number of Foundation Grade Kraken Beasts will gather in groups to hunt for food in this coastal area. They naturally can't pose a threat to Su Chen.

Any combat technique and spell requires high-intensity cultivation in order to master it proficiently.

"Bloodthirsty Formula" requires a lot of blood, and the more the better. And this East China Sea is vast and immense, and the middle and low-level demon beasts in the deep sea are innumerable, which is enough for Su Chen's high-intensity cultivation of the Blood Burning Technique.

The principle of the blood burning technique of "Bloodthirsty Formula" is not complicated, and it can even be said to be surprisingly simple.

The demon blood in the Blood Spirit Bead burned sharply, transforming it into surging demon vitality. This huge demonic vitality erupted in the meridians of the immortal cultivator's body, thus greatly enhancing the strength of the physical body, which was the key to supporting the rapid increase in the combat power of the immortal cultivator's physical body.

Su Chen only took half a month, and after repeated attempts, he skillfully controlled the burning speed of the Blood Burning Technique. Bursts of blood from one to ten times change, changing repeatedly in a very short period of time.

His body also began to adjust to this strong reaction.

After mastering the Blood Burning Technique, he was quite interested in the large amount of vitality generated by the Demon Blood Burning Technique. I even wondered if I could use these vitality for cultivation.

Su Chen had tried to absorb these Yuan Qi with Yuan Shen.

However, he soon discovered that the demonic energy ignited by the blood devouring demon shark demon blood was very demonic.

After he only absorbed a small amount of demon vitality into his Qinglian Yuanshen, he felt that his heart had become a little violent, and he seemed to have a crazy desire to kill, and he wanted to vent it.

Su Chen couldn't help but be frightened, knowing that his heart was affected by the demonic aura.

Immediately ingested an Ice Heart Pill, a cold and bone-chilling aura swirled all over his body, and his mind suddenly cleared up a lot, suppressing the violent aura in his heart. It took him a few more days to completely eliminate this violent aura in the primordial spirit.

Su Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly, knowing that the demon vitality was completely unsuitable for the human race to cultivate immortals, so he no longer dared to try to use the vitality to absorb this demon vitality.

He made another attempt, burning his qi and blood into vitality. found that the vitality transformed by his own qi and blood could be directly absorbed by the primordial spirit.

However, the qi and blood of immortal cultivators are very precious, and they need to consume a large amount of spirit beast meat, spirit valleys, and spirit herbs in order to be born in their bodies to be full of qi and blood. The blood burn is too much of a loss to itself, and the gain outweighs the loss. It is better to take the elixir and use the spiritual energy to transform into vitality to cultivate.

"In this way, only the vitality of the Terran Immortal Cultivator can be absorbed. The Demon Yuan Qi born with the Blood Burning Technique cannot be used to enhance the Yuan Shen, and is only suitable for consumption in battle. ”

Su Chen was helpless.

In this way, he devoted himself to cultivating the "Bloodthirsty Formula" on the coast of the East China Sea to strengthen and refine his physical body.

Time flies, and three months have passed.

On this day, Su Chen calculated the time.

I practiced "Bloodthirsty Formula" in the East China Sea for three months, and I gained a lot.

During this period, he also took some second-order marrow washing pills, and washed his first and second spirit marrows, improving the quality of his spirit marrow by a little, both of which were raised to sixty-five points.

Sixty-five points is already barely stepping into the top-grade spiritual essence, compared to those top-grade spiritual essence genius cultivators who are as high as eighty or ninety points, it is naturally inferior. But compared to many middle-grade immortal cultivators below sixty points, it is much better.

The quality of the spiritual essence is high, and the efficiency of transforming the spiritual energy into vitality is high, and the cultivation speed can undoubtedly be faster. Let him not fall too far behind those genius cultivators because his spiritual essence quality is too low, even if he cultivates desperately.

Su Chen also used the "Splitting Divine Technique" once, endured the huge pain of divine thoughts, and added a divine thought to the split.

He was going to make his divine thoughts reach the nine realms before he stepped into the late stage of foundation building, so that he could control the nine flying swords at the same time, so that he could cast the third layer of the sword technique of the "Gourd Slashing Immortal Flying Sword Technique".

This is the most common means he uses against the enemy during the foundation building period, and of course it cannot be too weak.

Other means, such as the Mithril Flying Ant Colony in the Golden Gourd, Zhuang Luyi in the Ghost Summoning Banner, the Jindan Blue Ice Flash Butterfly, etc., are all forced to be released when they are worried about their lives. I don't dare to use it easily.

The Mithril Flying Ant Colony, which had suffered heavy losses, had already recovered its full strength after eating hundreds of Kraken Beasts, and thousands of Flying Ants had all reached the early stage of Qi refining.

There are even dozens of Mithril Soul Devouring Flying Ant males, reaching an astonishing foundation building realm, although they are only the size of a thumb, their attack power is very fierce and amazing.

These two days are the days of the opening of Mount Kinabalu. It is also time to return to the sect, climb the sacred mountain to worship the ancestors, and strive to get a recommendation place.

Su Chen suddenly got up, threw out a flying sword, and hurried towards the Penglai Immortal Sect.

...

Among the many spiritual veins of Penglai Immortal Sect, a huge main spiritual peak among the many spiritual veins of Penglai Immortal Sect, it is also the highest peak of Immortal Sect. Ethereal clouds and spiritual mist shrouded the mountainside, and the aura of the fairy spirit was full of it, and it was shrouded by a magnificent faint golden light curtain, and no one could enter it on weekdays.

This is the famous sacred mountain.

This ethereal sacred mountain, with a radius of fifty or sixty miles, is more than 10,000 zhang high, breaking through the clouds and fog as if on the top of the clouds. Looking at the misty Sendai Spirit Pavilion in the sacred mountain, it is like a fairy palace.

Even the cranes and birds rarely fly to the heights of the top of the sacred mountain.

The sacred mountain is also where the sect medicine garden of Penglai Immortal Sect is located.

The ancient immortal sect with a history of 10,000 years has accumulated abundantly.

From the foot of Mount Kinabalu to the snowy peaks at the top of the mountain, there are all kinds of elixir fields, and all kinds of elixirs are planted. Those thousand-year-old spiritual herbs that were extremely rare in the Jindan Monk Medicine Garden, but they were everywhere in the Zongmen Medicine Garden of this sacred mountain, and it was not unusual.

There are many spiritual springs and streams at the foot of the sacred mountain, and the water of the mountain stream is active, and the water of the water system and wood system is the majority. The mountainside is dominated by fire and gold spirit herbs, and the top of the snow peak is dominated by ice lotus and many other ice and thunder herbs.

Even the wild spiritual herbs are thousands of years old, and no one dares to go up to the sacred mountain to pick them.

The sect elixir garden of the Penglai Immortal Sect is personally managed by the sect master, and it is only used in refining the Zhuji Dan, as well as allocating a small amount of high-level elixir for cultivation to the Jindan monks every year.

The low-level foundation building monks and qi refining cultivators, except for the foundation building pill, had no chance to obtain the sect's elixir at all.

It is precisely because of such a huge scale of the elixir garden of the Divine Mountain that a large number of foundation building pills are produced, so that the scale of thousands of foundation building monks in the entire Penglai Immortal Sect can be maintained.

...

At this time, at the foot of this sacred mountain, there were nearly two hundred or so disciples of the foundation building period, who were talking in groups of three or five in a low voice, discussing the affairs of the sacred mountain.

They have been here for a long time, waiting for the gate of Mount Kinabalu to open.

Among them, there are many monks from the Jindan family, because they failed to get the family's recommendation quota, and they had to come to this sacred mountain to try their luck and try their luck.

However, compared to the thousands of foundation-building monks in the entire Penglai Immortal Sect, there are not many foundation-building monks who are ready to climb the Divine Mountain to worship the ancestors.

There are many foundation building monks who have already tried, and many of them can't even go up halfway up the mountain, and they have long been self-aware. Once every ten years, there are only one or two foundation building monks who can climb to the top of the sacred mountain and bow to Penglai Ancestor, and often even five people can't make up.

Su Chen came to the foot of the Sacred Mountain, and among the hundreds of foundation-building monks, he saw some acquaintances, such as Master Wang Qiu, Master Zhang Zhuo and others. There are also powerful mid-foundation monks like Senior Brother Ji Yuanzheng and Senior Brother Zhuang Bai. Of course, there is no shortage of Lu Wei who is very weak, and he is still in the early stage of foundation building, and he is completely a foundation building monk who has come to make up the numbers.

"Senior Brother Su, I haven't seen you for many years, and your cultivation is improving quickly!"

Wang Qiu was a little surprised when he saw Su Chen and found that he had already built the fifth layer of the foundation stage.

Su Chen stepped forward to greet Wang Qiu, wondering how Wang Qiu could come.

Wang Qiu sighed: "We are monks, there is no way to worship Elder Jindan, and we can't get a recommendation place, so this is the last way." Tomorrow the mountain will be opened, and if you can climb to the top of the mountain, you will get a referral place. I don't have much life left, although there is little hope, but I still have to give it a try. ”

"It's easier said than done to reach the top of Mount Kinabalu!"

The monk next to him whispered, not optimistic.

Most of the foundation monks did not have much confidence in reaching the top of Mount Kinabalu.

After all, the truly powerful monks in the late stage of foundation building are generally the best in the Jindan family, and they are directly recommended through the Jindan family.

Those who will come to this sacred mountain are either foundation-building monks with no background, or they are weaker family monks.

This way is completely Penglai Immortal Sect's attempt to check and fill in the gaps. Let the very few foundation building monks who really use strong strength will not miss the opportunity of Jindan because they can't get the recommendation place.

In the flock of chickens, there are naturally very few cranes that stand out.

Su Chen said hello to those acquaintances, then found an open space by himself, sat down on the ground, and waited for the opening of the sacred mountain with peace of mind.

After waiting for half an hour, Su Chen was surprised to see Wu Qiao, who came to the foot of the sacred mountain with a heavy golden axe on his back.

"Brother Wu, are you here too?"

Su Chen smiled in surprise.

He was surprised, not because Wu Qiao's cultivation had reached the fourth layer of the foundation building period. It's that Wu Qiao has always only cared about whether there is a spiritual wood to cut down, and he doesn't like to participate in these idle things.

I didn't expect to come to this sacred mountain and compete for the only five recommended places.

"Brother Su, when are you going back to the sect?!"

Wu Qiao grinned, strode to Su Chen's side and sat down, and said with a hearty smile: "Lu Fuzi said that there is a 10,000-year-old divine tree planted on the sacred mountain, and the gods are extraordinary, so I'll take a look." Of course, if you can get the recommended place, it will also be an opportunity to win the spirit fruit and break the golden pill. I don't care about anything else, but Jindan still has to fight, which immortal cultivator doesn't want to become Jindan Dao!"

"How's Brother Lu's situation?"

"He and Zhang Xiaodi have both stepped into the realm of the early stage of foundation building half a year ago. They had some goods in their hands that they had obtained from the Heavenly Wind Gorge, and their cultivation was also quite smooth. ”

Su Chen and Wu Qiao chatted one sentence at a time.

After Wu Qiao came back from Tianfeng Gorge, he recuperated in the mountain gate for half a year, and now he has recovered. After his injuries healed, he still went up the mountain to chop wood, and his cultivation progressed rapidly, and he advanced bravely, breaking through the fourth layer of the foundation building period in one fell swoop.

Su Chen could only sigh at this.

He has been working hard for so long, there is no shortage of second-order elixirs every day, and he occasionally takes Taoyao's Yuan Qi Peach, and he is only in the fifth layer of the foundation building period.

Wu Qiao didn't even accept the low-level spirit pill, and occasionally ate some spirit valley and beast meat, and it seemed that he was about to catch up with his cultivation.

In the Penglai Immortal Sect, there are a few monks with the best spiritual essence talent every two hundred. However, a miraculous cultivation talent like Wu Qiao, who specializes in the art of cutting wood, is as powerful as a bamboo, which is unique.

...

Su Chen waited at the foot of the sacred mountain for a day.

Early the next morning, several Jindan elders finally flew to the foot of the sacred mountain in the beast riding car, belatedly late. One of the leaders is the Great Elder of the Precept Hall of the Penglai Immortal Sect, and he ranks among the top five among the many Jindan elders of the Penglai Immortal Sect.

The monks who built the foundation were all terrified when they saw it, and they were all respectful, not daring to give the slightest salute.

The great elders of this precept hall are not ordinarily severe, and the slightest transgression will be punished.

Li Xingfeng wore a golden robe, got off the beast riding car, swept over the foundation building monks with an indifferent expression, and said: "You have come here to climb the sacred mountain, worship the ancestors, and know the rules if you want to come."

The old man would like to remind me. After entering Mount Kinabalu, follow the stone steps of Mount Kinabalu to the top of the mountain. Do not break out of the stone steps and break into the elixir garden outside, otherwise you will be injured by the formation of the elixir garden.

If you can't climb it, go back the way you came. If it is forced, the casualties will be borne by themselves. After reaching the top of the sacred mountain, you only need to bow your head in front of the Ancestor's retreat cave and leave, and you must not interfere with the Ancestor's retreat and cultivation.

Every foundation building monk has only three opportunities in his life to climb the sacred mountain. So a word of advice, if you don't have confidence, it's best not to waste the opportunity, and wait until your cultivation strength is strong enough, and then come to climb the sacred mountain. ”

"Yes, follow the Elder's decree!"

The foundation building monks hurriedly said.

Elder Li Xingfeng took out a golden token, pressed it on the light curtain of the Divine Mountain, and then opened a corner of the light curtain.

The monks rushed in, walked along a winding and rugged stone staircase of the sacred mountain, on tiptoe, to the top of the sacred mountain.

The stone steps of Mount Kinabalu are all paved with bluestone.

This stone step is surprisingly huge, each piece is ten zhang long and wide, ten zhang high, and there are a total of 1,000 large stone steps, stretching to the top of the 10,000-zhang sacred mountain.

There are many monks who have climbed the sacred mountain many times, and they are experienced, and they do not fight, and even walk very slowly. After only walking hundreds of steps, he felt out of breath, and immediately meditated on the ground to recover, trying to save his physical strength and mana.

There were also many monks, three or five people walked together in groups, encouraging each other and cheering each other.

This climb lasts for two months, and if you can reach the top of the mountain, you will be considered to have passed. Completely based on real ability, there is no need to rush this time.

Su Chen and Wu Qiao climbed the sacred mountain together with many foundation-building monks.

...

Su Chen had just stepped into the first stone step of the sacred mountain, and he suddenly felt that his toes were slightly heavy, as if he had pressed a hundred-pound stone.

Su Chen's brows couldn't help but move slightly.

It was a strange feeling of pressure, and he didn't know how Kamiyama did it, and he could put pressure on himself out of thin air.

He continued on his way, increasing the pressure with each step.

Not long after, Su Chen climbed a hundred stone steps.

This heaviness gradually spread from the toes to the ankles, and had turned into a weight of 10,000 catties, like a sink in the mud, hindering the foundation building monk from moving forward. I had to expend physical strength, even mana, to be able to lift my feet and walk forward.

The weight of 10,000 catties, for a first-level monk in the foundation building period, is almost an instant burst of power with a full blow. If this force was sustained, it would be enough to make it difficult for a monk on the first floor of the foundation building period to move, and it would be difficult to climb a stone step.

Many monks on the second and third floors of the early stage of foundation building stopped at the 100 stone steps and had already begun to rest, ready to save and accumulate more physical strength and continue to rush upward.

Only then did Su Chen understand why Sun Qingning once said that he had walked hundreds of stone steps on the sacred mountain and then gave up. Because as the stone steps go up, the pressure is too heavy. The last few hundred steps of the sacred mountain, there is no way to step over, so you can only give up.

If you want to climb the Sacred Mountain easily, the best way is to cultivate to the eighth or ninth layer of the foundation building period.

However, those who can reach the eighth or ninth layer of foundation building are also rare among the monks in the foundation building period, and they are rare. Most of them are the core disciples of the Jindan family, and they can be directly recommended by the Jindan family.

Moreover, each foundation monk only has three opportunities to climb the sacred mountain, and if he uses it, he will be gone.

Among the hundreds of foundation-building monks, Su Chen had only seen four seventh-layer monks in the foundation-building period, and he had not seen any eighth- and nineth-layer monks appearing.

Su Chen looked at Wu Qiao next to him, but saw that he was unconscious, and he was still carrying his golden giant axe that weighed 10,000 catties on his shoulders, and he didn't mind the extra heavy pressure of 10,000 catties at all.

"It's just a little bit of weight. Let's go, the first three hundred steps are trivial, and when you get halfway up the mountain, you are tired of walking, and it's not too late to take a break. ”

Wu Qiao said with a smile.

"Okay, let's see who gets halfway up the mountain first!"

Su Chen nodded and smiled.

The two of them saw that they were flying quickly on the stone steps, and their figures were swift, rushing towards the halfway up the mountain along the winding and rugged stone steps.

In the blink of an eye, they left most of the foundation building monks behind. Soon rushed through the two hundred stone steps, followed by the three hundred stone steps, and the four hundred stone steps.

Among the foundation-building monks, there were also some monks in the middle of foundation-building like Su Chen, who also chose to march quickly and rest at the top of the mountain.

The four seventh-layer monks of the foundation building period, rushing to the front, had already disappeared from the mountain peak.

And some monks in the early stage of foundation building, walking and walking, suddenly stumbled, unable to move under heavy pressure.

...

Bang!

Su Chen's muscles were tensed, he almost exhausted his physical strength, and he flew down to the five hundredth stone steps halfway up the mountain, and stopped.

The terrifying power of up to 50,000 jin is already the limit of the explosive power of the fifth-layer monks in the foundation building period under normal circumstances.

If you go further, you have to exhaust all your strength at every step.

Su Chen stopped, not because he couldn't go any further.

Instead, the stone steps in front of it were obscured by the large clouds and spiritual mist on the mountainside of Mount Kinabalu, and the field of vision was white.

This piece of spiritual mist, at the same time, appears and disappears at a glance, ethereal and illusory, and all kinds of strange scenes are born in it, or the changes of mountains and islands, or mirages. It is unpredictable, and it seems to imply a formation.

Su Chen was alert for a moment and didn't dare to step into it easily.

Bang!

"What, not leaving?"

Wu Qiao's mighty figure followed, carrying a golden giant axe, falling in front of the clouds and mist, and said strangely.

Although he is the fourth layer of the foundation building period, he is one layer less than Su Chen. But he was born with divine power, and the strength of his physical body was no longer under Su Chen, a fifth-layer cultivator, and it was even stronger, and he was not even willing to put down the axe.

"This seems to be a cloud formation, and I haven't studied the formation. Wait, let's see how the other monks get there. ”

Su Chen shook his head and said.

Wu Qiao scratched his head, he was also confused about the formation, and he was a little in awe.

The two of them simply meditated and rested at the stone steps to recover their strength a little.

Soon, dozens of mid-foundation building monks appeared one after another, and they seemed to be quite familiar with this cloud and mist, and without thinking about it, they rushed directly into the cloud mist.

"They went in without the slightest hesitation, this cloud formation is just interference, there should be no danger!"

Su Chen said secretly.

He took a break, greeted Wu Qiao, and stepped into the stone steps in the mist.

Rushing past the five hundred steps, there are only dozens of mid-stage foundation building cultivators at present. The really tough battle is in the second half of the mountain.
