298 Six floors of foundation
Su Chen and Wu Qiao went down to the Sacred Mountain with the "meeting gift" given by Jiang Laozu, registered with the Great Elder of the Discipline Hall, and obtained two recommended places.
On the way back, Su Chen told Wu Qiao not to reveal the matter of Jindan Ghost Xiuzhuang Luyi to anyone. Wu Qiao is not an eventful person, so he naturally promised to come down and never mentioned it.
The two of them each returned to their places of residence in the sect and stepped up their cultivation. There is still half a year left before the competition for the spirit fruit, and not a single day can be wasted.
The Yuan Qi Peach given to them by Jiang Lao Zu could increase their cultivation by one level, which was undoubtedly a good thing for the monks who were about to participate in the Penglai Immortal Sect's competition for the spirit fruit.
...
Su Chen returned to the residence of the Spirit Peak where he was, entered the underground retreat room, and opened a light curtain shielding formation.
He sat cross-legged and immediately ate the Yuan Qi Peach given to him by Jiang Lao Zu, the Yuan Qi Peach melted into his abdomen, and soon absorbed the abundant Yuan Qi, entered the sea of consciousness, and was absorbed by the Yuan Shen.
Su Chen's Qinglian Yuan Shen in the Zhihai Spirit Mountain broke through the sixth layer of the foundation building period in one breath and bloomed the sixth petal.
"Six layers of foundation building! As long as you cultivate one more layer, you will be able to step into the realm of the late stage of foundation building! Only the last three petals are missing, and I, the flower bone of the Qinglian Yuan God, can fully bloom. At that time, it will not be far from concluding the golden pill!"
Su Chen watched his Qinglian Yuan Shen grow a little stronger, and couldn't help but be surprised, and said secretly.
His lifespan is half that of an ordinary foundation building monk, and he has only ninety years of life left to live, and he has always had a strong sense of urgency when he is worried that he will not be able to reach the peak of the ninth layer of foundation building in time before his life is over.
Now that he is already at the sixth layer of the foundation building period, even if his cultivation is relatively slow in the future, he has every hope of reaching the ninth layer of the foundation building stage before his life ends.
Only then did Su Chen release Zhuang Luyi's Jindan Yuan Shen from the ghost flag.
As soon as Zhuang Luyi came out, he hurriedly couldn't wait to open a Sumeru ring, wanting to see what kind of ghost weapons Jiang Lao Zu had found for her from the Penglai Treasure House.
Inside the Sumeru ring, a cloud of black ghostly weapons like thick ink flew out from the Sumeru ring.
A huge soul-leaving scythe, with a handle three feet long, with a huge black crescent scythe, I don't know what material it was refined, and the blade was dark without the slightest luster. On the surface of the crescent scythe, there was a mottled cold light, exuding an extremely strong ghostly aura, as if an evil spirit had been born, and it was extremely charming. This ghost weapon is specially refined, a third-order high-grade ghost clan primordial magic weapon.
Dozens of cold and bright soul-beating nails, five inches long, were made of cold gold iron, mixed with all kinds of filthy blood, and soaked for decades. Specializing in breaking the qi and hitting the body, even if it scratches a little skin, its filthy qi can directly attack the monk Yuanshen. If a low-level monk hits this nail, even if he does not die, it will greatly damage the vitality of the Yuan Shen.
In addition, there is also a tart fairy whip with a fine barb on the whip, which makes people chill from the bottom of their hearts. A colorful ribbon several feet long, extremely flexible. A third-order flying sword engraved with the words "Ghost Sees Sorrow". These three things are more ordinary, they were originally third-order magic weapons used by Jindan monks, but they were contaminated into ghost weapons because they had been contaminated with ghost qi for a long time.
All of them are Jindan-level ghost weapons, and the Penglai Immortal Sect has killed a lot of Jindan ghost cultivators over the years, and sealed some ghost weapons in the treasure house of the sect. Now he is given to Zhuang Luyi by Jiang Laozu.
"Ha——! Xiao Ran is really interesting, and he gave five Jindan-level ghost weapons in one go! Haha, with these ghost weapons in hand, even if I meet other Jindan monks, I am not afraid. ”
Zhuang Luyi's eyes widened in surprise, controlling these five ghost weapons, and he couldn't put them down.
Possessing these five ghost weapons can at least double her combat power.
She couldn't help but glance at Su Chen and snorted.
Half a year ago, if she had these powerful ghost weapons in her hands, it would be Su Chen's turn to defeat her, even if she had a blue ice flash butterfly.
However, for Su Chen's sake of hunting the Kraken Beast and getting a lot of vitality for her, she didn't want to worry so much about Su Chen now.
She used to hide in the dark Jiaoji Cave, and she didn't even have anyone to talk to, and she was sad to death. After being born, hiding outside in Tibet, being a lonely ghost and being chased and killed by immortal cultivators is obviously not pleasant.
Now that there is an immortal cultivator to protect her, the benefits still outweigh the disadvantages for her. Although she also knew that Su Chen used the Ghost Banner to seal her, it was also to obtain a Jindan-level powerful combat power. However, this is a mutually beneficial thing, and it is very beneficial for both one person and one ghost.
Su Chen was glanced at by Zhuang Luyi, and suddenly felt a chill all over his body.
He didn't care too much either.
In the past six months, he has not treated her badly. Zhuang Luyi has been imperceptibly accustomed to cultivating in the Ghost Summoning Banner, and often has demon beast vitality to eat. Although she was far from surrendering, at least she no longer resisted and made trouble with him.
His strength is still weak in the middle stage of foundation building, and he needs a spirit pet or a ghost pet in the Jindan period to enhance his strength. Whether it is the Jindan-level Blue Ice Flash Butterfly or the Jindan Ghost Cultivator Lvyi, their combat power has been greatly improved.
And Zhuang Luyi also needs a cover in order to survive in the immortal cultivation world.
Although there is a difference between master and subordinate, there is no real conflict of interest between them, but they need each other.
Su Chen looked at Zhuang Luyi and got a lot of ghost weapons, and couldn't help but envy, those were all Jindan-level ghost weapons above the third order, and one of them was rare, let alone three.
He hurriedly opened the Sumeru ring given to him by Jiang Laozu to see what was inside.
This is a low-level Sumeru ring, the interior is only the size of a zhang, but it is completely stuffed with cultivation materials. There are a total of sixteen categories inside, thick wood-based spell secrets, plus a large number of spiritual pills for cultivation and spiritual wine to replenish mana.
There is also a note written by Jiang Laozu himself.
"The use of spells is ever-changing. According to the use, it is roughly divided into: attack, defense, imprisonment, bondage, entanglement, stealth, breaking, incineration, sealing, lightweight, retreat, paralysis, toxin, trap, illusion, puppetry, life, growth, healing, recovery.... and dozens of other main uses. ”
"Most of the wood-based immortal cultivators are weak in combat power, but the right spell can play a huge role in turning things around. For example, 'trapping' is an indispensable method to ambush in advance, delay time, and throw off the enemy. Wood poison is a necessary technique to kill the enemy. ”
"There are a total of sixteen wood-like spells here, which are the sixteen core uses of wood-based spells. "Rain of Arrows in the Gun Forest", "Wood Armor", "Thorn Cage", "Vine Entanglement", "Wood Concealment", "Burning Wood", "Green Spirit Eye", "Wood Escape", "Poison Wood Poison Spirit Sutra", "Illusion Hundred Flowers Spirit Sutra", "Wood Puppet Technique: White Lotus Spirit Sutra" 、....。 ”
Su Chen quickly swept through these dazzling spell secrets, his expression a little stunned.
Jiang Lao Zu stuffed him with a large number of wood-based spell secrets, covering almost all kinds of uses. As for materials such as elixir and mana replenishment, he has it himself, and in fact, he is not lacking.
Think about it.
Jiang Laozu can be regarded as well-intentioned.
Now that there is only half a year left before he competes for the spirit fruit, it is already too difficult for him to greatly increase his strength in other physical bodies, primordial gods, and magic weapons. After all, he has a lot of good things in his hands, such as the third-order ghost banner and the third-order blood spirit bead.
His weakest thing is spells, and he has never fully cultivated.
Spells are relatively quick to take effect, and they are easy to get started. As for those cultivation materials, they are a large amount of materials needed for cultivation spells and so on.
Su Chen carefully counted all the spell secrets and materials that Jiang Lao Zu had given him, and admired him more and more. There is nothing superfluous in it, it is all practical.
In the past six months, he only needs to cultivate from beginning to end according to these sixteen types of spells that include the core uses of the wood system, and his comprehensive strength can be at least doubled, making up for his biggest shortcoming.
...
Zhuang Luyi took a look at what Su Chen had gotten from Jiang Laozu, but he scoffed.
In terms of value alone, the things that Jiang Lao Zu selected for Su Chen were actually not very valuable, and spell secrets and the like could be copied.
It was far less expensive than the five Jindan-level ghost weapons she got.
"Su Chen, after learning the spell, are you sure that you will be able to grab the spirit fruit in half a year?"
Zhuang Luyi asked curiously.
"It's... I took a vitality peach, and I have already stepped into the sixth layer of the foundation building period. After practicing these spells... It is estimated that there is a thirty percent certainty that he can win the spirit fruit.
This time, I'm afraid I'm just participating in the competition for the spirit fruit to familiarize myself with the situation. It is estimated that in one or two decades, there is more hope. ”
Su Chen thought carefully for a long time, but still shook his head.
He didn't know the detailed rules for competing for the spirit fruit, if the rules forbade the use of Jindan-level spirit pets, his grasp was naturally not too big, after all, he was still three levels away from the peak realm in the late stage of foundation building.
He didn't dare to overestimate his own strength too much, and underestimated the combat effectiveness of those top foundation building late-stage cultivators of the Penglai Immortal Sect.
The combat effectiveness in the middle stage of foundation building is very strong, but the monks in the late stage of foundation building of the core of the Jindan family are not given in vain. In terms of high cultivation, primordial magic weapons, spells, spiritual pets, etc., they are also not lacking.
The battle for the spiritual fruit of the Penglai Immortal Sect is related to the Jindan realm, and the competition must be extremely fierce, and all the monks in the late stage of foundation building are doing their best.
His current cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building, coupled with the third-order Yuan Shen Magic Weapon Blood Spirit Bead, if he didn't rely on the Jindan-level Blue Ice Flash Butterfly, he could enter the top twenty or thirty, which was already an extremely outstanding record. If you want to break into the top ten, I'm afraid the possibility is not too great.
Zhuang Luyi saw that Su Chen's confidence in winning the spirit fruit was not great, but she became worried.
As long as Su Chen didn't become a Jindan monk for a day, she would be worried that other Jindan monks would come to her door.
It is rare for the Divine Immortal Cultivation Realm to meet a Yuanying cultivator, and unless she finds it herself, the chance of encountering a monk like Jiang Laozu is extremely low, and it is as small as the possibility of her Jindan Ghost Cultivator being born.
However, there are many Jindan monks in various immortal sects, and when they wander around the immortal cultivation world at will, they will meet one or two. If Su Chen stayed in the foundation building cultivation for a long time, he would not be able to protect her safety at all.
"No! This time the competition for the spirit fruit must be successful. If you miss this time, it will be at least ten years before you can snatch the spirit fruit. Moreover, even if you grab the spirit fruit, you may not necessarily be able to produce a golden pill.
Drag on for twenty or thirty years, this time is too long, who knows if there will be an accident and bump into a strong enemy in the Jindan Realm. With your strength in building the foundation realm, you may not be able to keep me. ”
Zhuang Luyi gritted his teeth, thought about it for a while, and made up his mind: "That's it, my Yuan Qi Peach has not been contaminated with ghost qi yet, so I'll lend it to you first, anyway, in the early stage of my Jindan, it is useless to improve my cultivation by one level, so I am not in a hurry to use it." I'll lend it to you first, but I've said that I'll calculate the interest, and after you become a golden pill, you can pay me back double the vitality peach!"
"Okay! Even if I borrow this Yuan Qi Peach, no matter whether I can conclude the Golden Pill or not, I will return you two such Yuan Qi Peach in ten years!"
When Su Chen heard this, he was immediately pleasantly surprised.
He didn't expect that Zhuang Luyi would lend him her own Yuan Qi Peach to take it.
It's just too big-pictured.
Zhuang Luyi's Yuan Qi Peach was three times bigger than his, and his Yuan Qi was naturally many times higher. If he was given it, he would be able to step into the late stage of foundation building in one fell swoop.
Only the late-stage foundation building cultivators of the Penglai Immortal Sect really have the potential to squeeze into the top ten in the competition for the spirit fruit.
As a result, his chances of winning the Spirit Fruit increased a lot, increasing to more than four or fifty percent.
Of course, if the Yuanshen realm is promoted too quickly, the realm will become unstable, but if you want to be fast, you will not be able to reach it.
Su Chen had just broken through the sixth layer of the foundation building stage, and he couldn't take the second Yuan Qi Peach immediately. He prepared for this half a year, went all out to cultivate into sixteen spells, and stabilized his cultivation realm, and then took Zhuang Luyi's Yuan Qi Peach.
