Chapter 36 Solid Foundation
"What are you doing here?" Shen Shi frowned slightly, pushed back the jade box containing the "Solid Spirit Pill", and said, "The second-grade spirit pill is worth a lot of money, how can I ask you to give me this thing for no reason?"
Zhong Qingzhu's eyes were rolling, and he looked at him quietly, but he gently grabbed Shen Shi's palm in his hand, stuffed the jade box into his hand, and said softly: "I originally thought that I would give you a barrier-breaking pill to help you break through the realm, but when I heard my sister say that you had already gone to the elixir hall to take one, I thought that maybe the solid spirit pill would be better, and I would take it after you broke through the realm in the future." But when I came over today, I saw that you had already broken through the realm of condensation, isn't this the will of heaven? ”
Shen Shiwu shook his head, but Zhong Qingzhu's eyes were like water, and he glared at him softly and softly, as if he was happy, and his demeanor was a little amazing, which made him speechless for a while. Zhong Qingzhu saw that he no longer refused, his face showed joy, and he just wanted to say something, but he noticed that Ji Anfu not far away from him was still standing in place and did not leave, and kept looking at himself and Shen Shi, and his face was even more strange.
Zhong Qingzhu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then he opened his eyes soothingly, turned his head and smiled at Ji Anfu and said, "Senior Brother Ji, is there anything else?"
Ji Anfu's body shook slightly, and he seemed to wake up, and subconsciously said, "Oh...... It's okay, it's okay. ”
Zhong Qingzhu smiled and nodded at him, Ji Anfu took one last look at the two of them, and then turned around with a little difficulty and walked towards the elixir hall.
Shen Shi glanced at Ji Anfu's back as he walked away, was silent for a moment, and suddenly spoke: "This senior brother doesn't seem to like me very much. ”
Zhong Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, and glanced back at Ji Anfu thoughtfully, but then he heard Shen Shi laugh and said, "Forget it, maybe I thought about it too much, I just came back yesterday, if I annoy people so soon, wouldn't I be too bad a person?"
Zhong Qingzhu laughed, glanced at him, his eyes softened, and said: "After you go back, you should take this solid spirit pill as soon as possible, this kind of spirit pill is made by the famous teachers in this sect Dan Hall, and it is the best way to strengthen the essence and cultivate qi." ”
After Shen Shi pondered for a moment, he nodded and said with a smile: "Then I'm welcome, thank you." After a pause, he smiled again, "Anyway, we have known each other for so long, and we will all practice on Jinhong Mountain in the future, although it seems that you are much stronger than me now, but if there is anything you need my help with, just open your mouth." ”
Zhong Qingzhu nodded, but his eyes seemed to be confused for a moment, and he looked at Shen Shi and said softly: "Actually, if you hadn't saved me on Qingyu Island back then, I'm afraid that I would have died in that underground cave that didn't see the light of day, where is there anything now?"
Shen Shi shook his head with a smile and said, "How long ago happened, but you still think so much." ”
Zhong Qingzhu glanced at him deeply, and then laughed as well.
The sea breeze blew, and the viewing platform was peaceful and peaceful, and the seven huge pillars stood majestically like giants, as if they had not paid attention to the ant-like people under their feet.

After informing each other of the location of the cave mansion where they lived, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu separated on the sea viewing platform, originally Shen Shi's original intention was to go to the Shutang to have a look again, but after accepting the "Solid Spirit Pill" given by Zhong Qingzhu, Shen Shi hesitated for a while, and decided to go back to his cave first.
He had just broken through the realm yesterday, and it had not even been a day since he took it, and taking this solid spirit pill was the time when the effect was the greatest, and it was of great help to him to stabilize his foundation and regulate the aura of the dantian. In this way, he walked down the mountain road from the viewing platform, through the forest passageway, and walked back to the shady and damp valley where his cave was located.
The shade of the ancient trees and the seemingly ubiquitous green leaves of the vines fill the valley with verdant green, and the sound of the water from the stream flowing under the valley floor next to the mountain road adds a sense of tranquility to this place where few people come.
From a distance, Shen Shi saw a black figure lying in front of the door of his cave, needless to say, it was naturally a little black pig. After being woken up by Sun You early in the morning, the little black pig who slept for a day yesterday became excited, and he didn't mean to accompany Shen Shi to the sea viewing platform to hang out, but seemed to be very interested in this valley, and went outside to play by himself as soon as he slipped away.
Anyway, this little thing has always been wild, and Shen Shi didn't bother to restrain him, so he shouted a few words to the bushes Don't run too far, and then left with Sun You, and was teased by Sun You in the middle, saying that he didn't keep any pets, but caught a black pig and came back.
Shen Shi also smiled and said nothing, the origin of the little black pig involved the matter of the demon world, and he really couldn't explain it too clearly to Sun You, so he had to deal with it perfunctorily. At this moment, seeing the little black pig playing all morning, and sure enough, he ran back again, Shen Shi was also relieved, it seems that he doesn't have to worry too much about it in the future.
And the little black pig's perception is also quite sensitive, he raised his head from a long distance to look at Shen Shi, once he saw that it was Shen Shi back, he immediately jumped up, trotted all the way to Shen Shi's feet, rubbed his legs and feet very affectionately, Shen Shi also smiled and touched the little pig's head, and then took it back to the cave.
When the stone door closed, the sounds suddenly disappeared, and there was only silence around, but the little black pig did not run to the bedroom, but looked around, and then probed his head to the stone chambers next to the cave, as if trying to find out what was going on in the rest of the new home.
Shen Shi smiled, didn't bother with it, walked back to the bedroom by himself, and then sat down on the stone couch where he cultivated. After pondering for a while, he first put the jade box containing the Gu Ling Pill on the stone table in his hand, took a deep breath slowly, and closed his eyes.
Under the divine thought, the qi meridians around the body are like a clear picture, gradually emerging, but the difference from the past is that the spiritual power that was once dormant in the qi veins around the body with a bit of laziness has disappeared at this moment, and is replaced by a place under the abdomen, suddenly there is a place with a round shape like the size of a bowl, and all the spiritual power absorbed into the body in the past is like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, all of which are gathered here.
In the feeling, the aura here is vast and blended and gathered, and it is no longer the strands of scattered spiritual power that were scattered in the previous Qi Refining Realm, but the water ** is like a fusion, and the degree of condensation and refining has not only doubled. This is the sea of monks' qi, commonly known as the Jade Mansion, and because in the future, after the realm is improved, the spiritual power of the Dan is reborn from here, so the Taoist is also called the dantian.
At this moment, the aura in Shen Shi's dantian is vast, and it is precisely after breaking through the realm yesterday that he opened up the sea of qi and gathered all the spiritual power around him here, that is, from this moment on, Shen Shi can be regarded as truly embarking on the path of cultivation. However, there will be qi wave fluctuations in this sea of qi, and it doesn't look quiet, Shen Shi knows that this is because the time to break through the realm is too short, and the qi sea dantian has not been completely stabilized.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of fluctuation is actually not a big problem, as long as ordinary monks meditate and cultivate for about a month and stabilize their foundation, they will naturally be able to harmonize and stabilize their dantian, and then they can start to cultivate the Dao magic power above the Ning Yuan Realm. However, at this moment, there is a solid spirit pill in Shen Shi's hand, but it is specially made for this purpose, after taking it, in addition to the miraculous effect of quickly stabilizing the dantian qi sea, it is also quite effective on the spiritual power of the realm breaking monk himself and the Tao of adapting to the new realm, otherwise, it will not be called the second-grade spirit pill secretly made by the Ling Xiao Sect.
Zhong Qingzhu, that girl, is still meticulous.
When Shen Shi was taking the Solid Spirit Pill, such a thought passed through his heart.
※※※
Originally, it would have taken a month to stabilize the foundation and mellow the dantian, because of the help of the solid elixir, with the assistance of the powerful elixir, it only took Shen Shi three days to completely stabilize the foundation in the Ning Yuan Realm, at this moment, he only felt that his body was round and casual, and his physical body was tough and strong far better than in the past, and he felt quite reborn. And the spiritual power gathered in the dantian is also very different from the time when refining the qi realm, and it is no longer the lazy and unobedient appearance in the past, but like an arm and a finger, it moves with its heart, and it is extremely tame.
Shen Shi tried to cast the Five Elements Spell in the Cave Mansion, and then, as expected, even if he didn't use the mysterious spiritual power in the eyebrow acupoint, at this moment, he used the spiritual power in the dantian to urge the spell, and his casting speed was also greatly increased, basically the time required to cast a first-order spell was less than two breaths, and if he used a talisman to cast a spell, it could be compressed to about one breath.
In this way, the spiritual power of the dantian plus the two places of the eyebrows and the heart of the acupoint, if Shen Shi can cast the magic spell or learn the magic power of the golden stone armor in the future, the spiritual power that can be used will directly double, which makes him quite happy in his heart, and he is also full of confidence in his future cultivation. However, before that, Shen Shi quickly found that he seemed to have fallen into a familiar dilemma.
Poor......
In the way of cultivation in this world, there is no place for tricks, and the double spiritual power directly caused him to consume twice the spirit crystal. After the monk broke through to the Ning Yuan Realm, the consumption of spirit crystals in cultivation had increased greatly, and one spirit crystal would be used up in almost two days. This is also the reason why the Ling Xiao Sect distributes fifteen spirit crystals to each Ning Yuan Realm disciple every month, that is, to ensure the most basic cultivation needs of all people.
But at the moment, these fifteen spirit crystals were obviously not enough for Shen Shi, and they could only last him for half a month at most. And in the long run, although after breaking through the realm, the consumption of spirit crystals by the monks of the Ning Yuan Realm in the entire Ning Yuan territory will no longer have a special increase, unless it reaches the divine realm, whether it is the beginning level, the middle level or the high level of the Ning Yuan, it is basically the consumption of this level, but it can't withstand the double amount of Shen Shi.
Therefore, Shen Shi quickly put earning spirit crystals in his heart once again on the most important urgent matter.
On the morning of the fourth day, Shen Shi, who had completely stabilized the foundation of the dantian, left the cave with the little black pig, walked towards the sea viewing platform, and began his own path of earning spirit crystals, that is, from this time, he seemed to have a feeling that he had really started the cultivation of the Ning Yuan Realm.
How do you earn this first amount of spirit crystals......
When he turned the mountain, his vision was wide, and the endless blue waves of the sea appeared in front of him, Shen Shi thought so in his heart, and then reached out and gently touched the Ruyi bag on his waist.
