Chapter 64: The Pearls of the Cicada
"Wait, the cultivation is low? Isn't that just no mana, isn't it actually the same as the use of spirit runes, just drop essence blood. Chu Du thought of it in a flash.
Thinking of doing it, Chu Du immediately broke his finger and dropped a drop of blood on the bead, but he didn't know what the bead was made of, the surface was extremely smooth and there was no gap at all, this drop of blood was on it but immediately soaked into the bead, and then Chu Du saw that the cicada in the bead seemed to move and sucked his blood into his mouth.
Chu Du immediately felt the difference, just like his blood dripping on the spirit rune would have a vague connection with the spirit rune, after this cicada absorbed his blood, he also had this feeling, no, this feeling is strong I don't know how many times, for example, now a message suddenly appeared in Chu Du's mind: Hungry!
Chu Du knew that this message was transmitted to him by the cicada in the beads, which was a very wonderful feeling, but Chu Du tried to communicate with it and ask it what it wanted to eat, and the message that came into Chu Du's mind was still only one word: hungry!
Helpless, Chu Du had to start trying the same, first dropped a drop of his own blood on the beads, it was useless, he went to the spiritual field to pick some spirit fruits and put them in front of it was still useless, Chu Du thought that it only ate meat, and ran to Senior Brother He to get a small piece of demon beast meat back, or kept shouting hunger in Chu Du's mind.
Chu Du, who had no choice, had to take out a handful of spirit stones and some demon beast crystal nuclei and put them in front of the beads and said, "If you don't eat it, you can only starve to death!"
As soon as these two things were taken out, the message of hunger in Chu Du's mind disappeared immediately, and he saw that a tentacle grew on the head of the cicada in the bead, and this tentacle slowly penetrated the bead and probed towards the spirit stone that Chu Du put in front of it, and the bead that seemed extremely small to Chu Du was easily inserted into a spirit stone, and soon this spirit stone became dim, and this tentacle stretched out to the next spirit stone.
After absorbing 10 spirit stones from Chu Du in a row, this tentacle retracted.
"That's it, tell me how you detect other people's cultivation!" Chu Du looked at the cicada that had eaten his spirit stone, and there was no movement at all, and then his expression was confused.
"Damn, you can't just eat and not work!"
"Nima, if you eat it, you don't want to admit it, Lao Tzu can't starve you!"
“......”
No matter how Chu Du tossed, the cicada in the beads just didn't react, and Chu Du was half angry but reluctant to throw it away.
In the Xuanyun Sect, a man who was sitting cross-legged and cultivating suddenly opened his eyes when Chu Du dripped his essence blood on the bead, and a fierce look flashed on his face, only to see him take out a bead that was exactly the same as the one in Chu Du's hand from his arms, looked at it and said: "Yuan Fang, this cheap maid, actually lost my Jue Cicada Bead, it's really a pity to die, but my bead is not so easy to take!"
After saying this, the man sneered, hid the beads in his hand, and continued to close his eyes and cultivate.
Chu Du naturally didn't know all this, since he still couldn't figure out the use of that bead, Chu Du didn't continue to study, and after a period of time, after Chu Du disposed of the crystal nuclei in batches, Chu Du began to retreat again, and it took more time to refine the fifth source of mana, even if the speed of refining the spiritual energy in Chu Du's body was faster than others, Chu Du estimated that it would take at least 9 months to stay in the space to completely refine the source of the fifth mana.
It is impossible for Chu Du to stay in the space for such a long time, he basically comes out every other month for a few days to breathe, during which Chu Du in the space was woken up by the music of the devil entering the village ringing in his ears, and after coming out of the space, he opened the door and looked at it, and found that Cao Meng with a happy face was walking towards him, Chu Du's heart moved, and he thought of a possibility, sure enough, Cao Meng came to report the good news to him, in 8 months, Cao Meng entered the first layer of qi refining, and then in less than a few days, Ye Qing also entered the first layer of qi refining.
The cultivation speed of these two people made the head of the sect and Feng Bing happy, but at the same time, they also felt a pity, and it was a pity why these people with such good qualifications appeared in the Giant Yang Sect so late!
Chu Du was also sincerely happy about their breakthrough, Chu Du promised Cao Meng to take him out to hunt demon beasts when he waited for him to refine the first layer of qi, so Chu Du then took Cao Meng to the Wind Plain, Chu Du's method was to ask Cao Meng to open the Vajra Talisman to make bait, and those wind wolves saw that it was not Chu Du, so naturally they pounced on Cao Meng in groups, and the result was that the wind wolves who pounced on them found Chu Du, the person who brought them nightmares, and it was too late to escape, and they were slaughtered by Chu Du again, this time the two were fully prepared and transported all the wolf corpses back。
The spirit stones sold this time Chu Du were all given to Cao Meng, anyway, there were only a few hundred spirit stones, and Cao Meng, who was used as a bait at that time, also understood that Chu Du was capable of refining qi and killing demon beasts, so he felt that he himself had better go back to cultivation honestly first, anyway, the spirit stone that Chu Du gave him would take a long time.
As for Ye Qing, it seemed that he was very favored by Uncle Feng Bing, Chu Du didn't have to worry about her at all, so Chu Du started to retreat again, and he didn't come out until he refined the source of the fifth mana, not because he didn't want to continue cultivating, but because the spirit stone was almost spent again.
Chu Du, who was at the fifth level of Qi refining, felt that he had inexhaustible strength all over his body, and he could hit the air with a random punch, Chu Du felt that he was completely a body refining cultivator, whether it was strength speed or physical strength, it was not at all comparable to those monks who specialized in absorbing spiritual energy.
Chu Du has always wanted to get a technique for cultivating the physical body, so that his physical strength advantage will become greater, but the Giant Yang Sect does not have such an exercise, and I don't know if there are other sects on the Tianyu Continent, but with Chu Du's current strength, it is impossible to break through the sect.
During this time, the head of the sect seemed to be busier, and even the elixir and spirit runes refined for Chu Du were sent by a disciple, so the head of the sect did not know which level Chu Du's cultivation had reached, Chu Du knew that the head of the sect was busy with Dabi's affairs, but he didn't know what he was busy with.
As Dabi's time got closer and closer, some news also circulated in the sect, some people said that the sect had actually asked those well-qualified sixth-layer disciples to continue refining the source of the seventh mana, but these disciples promised but they had been reluctant to refine the source of the seventh mana, because everyone knew that if they continued to refining, they would have to participate in the competition, who didn't want to live longer?
In this regard, Chu Du did not have any disdain for these disciples who were unwilling to sacrifice themselves, the monks were originally for immortality, the inheritance of the sect was important, but their own lives were more important.
And Chu Du didn't think that the Dabi Juyang Sect would not be able to win in a few years, at least Chu Du thought that he was completely invincible in the Qi Refining Realm, maybe there were people in those top sects who could match him in this realm, but Chu Du didn't think that there were such characters in the sects in this remote place.
In 3 years, Chu Du cultivated to the fifth layer of qi refining in the Juyang Sect, of which he stayed in the system space for a total of 17 months (one month on top of one year outside, which is equivalent to 17 years of cultivation), plus the time of cultivating outside, Chu Du's real cultivation time actually added up to less than eighteen years, and he cultivated to the fifth layer of qi refining in such a short time, you can know how rebellious the true spirit qi formed by the combination of true qi and aura in his body is (true spirit qi is the name that Chu Du himself gave to the qi after the combination in his body).
It would take 31 years for a normal cultivator to cultivate to this point, but Chu Du had shortened this time by almost half! If Chu Du didn't have this true spirit qi, then he would have to spend more time cultivating in the space, and the spirit stones he would spend would naturally be more.
There are still 7 years before the major sects, if all the cultivation is in the system, Chu Du can still cultivate for 84 years, this time is enough for Chu Du to cultivate to the seventh layer of Qi refining, the sixth layer of Qi refining and the seventh layer of Qi refining normally take 96 years, but Chu Du has the advantage of true spirit qi, 50 years can reach the seventh layer of Qi refining, and the remaining time can be used to continue refining the source of the eighth mana.
Chu Du's plan was to refine all the sources of mana and become the strongest Qi Refining Stage cultivator in history, anyway, he didn't have to worry about Shou Yuan at all, what he should worry about was how to earn so many spirit stones to buy Shou Yuan.
