Ye Qin held a branch of "water thorn" in his hand and pondered deeply.

Cultivated through the Water Spirit Stone, the mutated second-order water thorns do not have the wood poison of wood thorns, nor the fire poison of flame thorns, but only a cold poison. However, this kind of cold poison attacks very slowly in the body, far less rapid than the fire poison, and any immortal cultivator has enough time to suppress the spread of cold poison and force the cold poison out of the body. On the contrary, its role has been greatly weakened. This water thorn is also a mutation, but it is a mutation of failure.

How can we make it more powerful?

Ye Qin's gaze suddenly stopped on a small pile of ice spirit stones in the Purple Mansion. These ice spirit stones were picked up by him from the cold pool, there are about dozens of them, and the ice spirit stones are rare, so they have been kept and are not willing to use them.

He thought about it for a moment. Hundreds of Wood Thorn Seeds were taken at once, and a piece of Ice Spirit Stone was crushed and sprinkled on the field to cover the seeds.

"Click!"

In a short period of time, the seeds of the wood thorns in the field were frozen and sealed by a strong icy aura, and they became frozen seeds. Not to mention mutations, there is no surname for even those who sprout.

Ye Qin took out all the wood thorn seeds, checked them one by one, and was annoyed to find that they were all frozen into ice strips.

Since the Water Spirit Stone can cause the seeds of the Wood Thorn to mutate, it makes no sense that the Ice Spirit Stone cannot.

He gritted his teeth and tried again!

This time, I tested it with the seeds of a more cold-tolerant water thorn. The seeds of hundreds of water thorns themselves contain a relatively strong cold atmosphere, and the ability to resist cold is also high.

In the field, sprinkle with ice spirit stones.

This time, hundreds of seeds were still frozen by the cold aura, but not all of these seeds died, and one or two seedlings resisted the freezing gas, slowly breaking out of their shells, absorbing the ice aura, and growing slowly.

Ye Qin looked at it in surprise, waiting for it to grow.

After a while, a pale snow-colored, transparent ice strip-like second-order mutant ice thorn grew in the field. The whole shrub, every leaf, every thorn, was covered with frost, and the cold was overwhelming. On the branches, even snow-colored ice flowers bloomed.

This is the exact opposite of the flaming thorns in another field of flaming thorns.

"Frost Thorns!"

Ye Qin felt a sense of amazement in his heart, and involuntarily came up with a very appropriate name.

In a busy thorn honeycomb in the limestone crevice, several golden bees smelled the flowers, and immediately buzzed excitedly towards the frost thorn field, before flying to the top of the frost thorn, "Click!" , The strong cold condensed the ice crystals on their golden wings, more and more ice crystals, and the wings became heavier and heavier, so that their flight speed slowed down greatly, and every time they flapped their wings, they were extremely laborious, slow, unable to withstand the pressure, and simply fell on the frost thorns, and the end of this was even more sad, they were directly frozen on the branches, becoming bee ice sculptures one by one, strange, flapping wings, hanging upside down, staring, everything. Only a very small number of baby bees collected nectar and left quickly, returning to the hive.

Ye Qin was dumbfounded, this icy cold aura was too domineering!

Since the golden bee nested in the Purple Mansion, it has gradually multiplied, and now there are as many as forty or fifty of them.

Every time the thorns bloom, they fly in to collect nectar and pollen.

The scorching heat emitted by the flame thorns has a great impact on them, and once they collect nectar, they will be sickly and listless by the fire, and they must take a rest in the honeycomb and eat some honey to recover.

The frost thorns were so good that they were simply frozen and sealed, and they couldn't even escape.

Ye Qin didn't want them all to die, otherwise without their help in collecting honey, this thorn would not be able to bear fruit. Take out all these "ice bees", just break the ice shells, and put them back. Because the freezing time is not long, most of them are not frozen to death, but only have frostbitten wings.

After depleting a few Ice Spirit Stones, he cultivated a second mutant thorn, the Frost Thorn

Qingdan Mountains, spring, summer, autumn and winter, mountains and jungles, the four seasons change, year after year.

In the mine cave of Beiying Mountain, there are no four seasons, and there is no difference between day and night, and time seems to have stopped here, every day, every hour, there is no difference. Mining, alchemy, meditation, mining, alchemy, meditation repeat after another.

Besides, there is nothing else to do.

Ye Qin occasionally used the wooden thorns to try to mutate them, but after all the types of spirit stones in the mine were tried, this repeated attempt eventually became boring.

The only thing that surprised him a little was that the nest of golden bees actually split up.

A nest beside the fields of fire and thorns, and take root.

The other nest was transferred to the frost and thorn field to "set up camp".

What made Ye Qin cry and laugh was that he unintentionally planted willows and willows. These two nests of little bees have been in contact with flame thorns and frost thorns for a long time, and they have actually changed. When there were more than a hundred bees in the two nests, there were actually very few one or two mutant battle bees.

The Golden Flame Thorn Bee, a second-order mutant bee, is a thick bee with a tail spin that has both gold and fire surnames. Armor-piercing, fire poison.

The Golden Frost Thorn Bee, a second-order mutant bee, is a thick bee with a tail spin that has both gold and ice surnames. Armor-piercing, frost.

These tough, somewhat stunned battle bees don't usually collect honey, but are responsible for guarding the nest. Once you find that the golden bee of the opponent's honeycomb has crossed the line, you will immediately fly over and drive it away.

Occasionally, two nests of battle bees will accidentally kill together.

Ye Qin had to do it himself to block them

Ye Qin sat cross-legged with his eyes closed in the abandoned mine, looking at himself without himself, his expression was indifferent, and he gradually fell into a state of self-restraint.

Floors 1 to 3 are meditative and forgettable. It is required to restrain all the exuded breath, expression and demeanor, and transform every trace of one's own essence into vitality, and can effectively reduce consumption. Taciturn, indifferent, even cold.

The fourth to sixth floors are clean and unharmed. Convergence of the eyes and mind, making people look like a tree. It is better to have a dull appearance, and reduce the reaction to the outside world. At this stage, only keep the mind moving.

The seventh to ninth floors, hidden in the shape, thick and thin. The mind gradually did not move, and the mind kept blank as much as possible, purely relying on the body's instincts, operating the exercises, and accumulating all the essence and energy, in order to forcibly break through the last pass of the qi refining period, break through the bottleneck, and step into the immortal path.

The sole purpose of this whole set of exercises is to close the external release of vitality and reduce the consumption of vitality, so that all the essence, qi and spirit can accumulate in the body, and continuously strengthen one's own vitality.

A group of early immortal cultivators in Lingwu Immortal Yuan City, they were obviously not good at refining spirit pills at that time, and they couldn't rely on external forces, and purely relied on their own penance to increase their vitality. In order to step into the path of immortals, they created this set of immortal cultivation exercises that were almost extreme and had great defects. Relying on this set of immortal cultivation exercises to make breakthroughs, only a very small number of extremely talented ancient monks, and many monks died on this set of exercises. In view of this, most of the later monks created other immortal cultivation techniques to avoid being unable to control their physical bodies in the later stages of the Qi refining period.

Ye Qin's cultivation of this set of exercises was also purely by chance, and he obtained this set of immortal cultivation exercises in the medicine collection hall in Zhuqi County.

"Sitting and Forgetting Sutra" requires practitioners to restrain their expressions, emotions, and minds, and accumulate every bit of essence and spirit in order to transform them into the vitality of the original spirit.

Of course, if you don't do this, you can actually do it, but you will lose your vitality.

During the Qi refining period, one layer can cultivate seven threads of white mangs every day. If you don't restrain the leaking breath, you will automatically leak a trace of vitality, or even more, thus reducing the effect of cultivation.

In order to be able to enhance his cultivation, Ye Qin had to forcibly hold back all his expressions and emotions at that time, making himself silent and indifferent, and enduring the misunderstanding of his brothers and sisters. In order to cultivate a little more white mangs every day, so that you can become stronger and not be controlled by others.

Later, Eagle Cliff's adventure caused a purple mansion to be born in his body. The way to increase vitality has changed from "Sitting and Forgetting Sutra" to relying on the spiritual power of the Descent Pill to improve cultivation and make rapid progress. The effect of sitting and forgetting the scriptures is greatly reduced, but it plays a slight auxiliary role.

He didn't forcibly suppress his emotions anymore.

He had been cultivating until the fifth layer of the Qi Refining Period, and the impact of this set of exercises on him was not too great.

Cultivating in this hidden cave, without anyone or anything, he meditates alone, plain, and naturally does not need to deliberately hide his expression, nor does he spend his mind on trivial affairs, "Sitting and Forgetting the Sutra" has played the greatest effect, accumulating thick and thin, and sprinting towards the ninth layer of the Qi refining period with all his might.

With the rapid growth of cultivation, this set of exercises has begun to show its power. Even if he doesn't take the initiative to restrain himself, he will automatically try to restrain the breath released as much as possible, and the whole person is like a tree, looking a little dumbfounded.

This automatic astringent effect is already more sophisticated than the "breathing technique" performed by ordinary monks. For a Qi Refining Stage cultivator of the same strength, unless he saw him with his own eyes, it would be difficult for him to detect the slightest hint of aura that was leaking out.

But the extreme depth of Ye Qin's pupils, that ray of light, gradually became pure

Three years.

Ye Qin was already a twenty-year-old young monk.

At this time, he was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. Suddenly, somehow startled in my heart, I suddenly opened my eyes. A thorny flash of light flashed in his eyes, almost brightening the abandoned mine, and then dimmed and became dull, and the abandoned mine was dark again.

That ray of divine light at least let him leak a trace of vitality.

However, Ye Qin didn't care about this.

He looked at a homemade, rudimentary hourglass in front of him. Inside this huge hourglass is enough sand to flow for seven days. At this time, inside the hourglass, the fine sand is almost gone, and only the last bit of sand remains.

In other words, seven days have suddenly passed since I meditated.

In fact, he was still at the peak stage of the eighth layer of the Qi Refining Period seven days ago, and he just wanted to meditate and practice the "Sitting and Forgetting Sutra" for a long time, and he didn't want to cultivate for so long at all. But under the continuous operation of this "Sitting and Forgetting Sutra", his heart actually stopped, unconsciously fell asleep, and unconsciously, he entered the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Period in one fell swoop.

Ye Qin was not only unhappy in his heart, but gave birth to a trace of indescribable fear.

The ninth layer of the Qi Refining Period is already a very dangerous cultivation stage, once the ability of his mind and mind is completely closed, he will be completely isolated from the outside world by the Lord, and whether he can break through the bottleneck between the Qi Refining Period and the Foundation Building Period is completely resigned to fate.

If it weren't for this sudden startle, if I didn't wake up from this sleep, not long after, in this abandoned mine, I am afraid that there will be one more monk who died because of the cultivation of the "Sitting and Forgetting Sutra".

"It seems that this "Sitting and Forgetting Sutra" can no longer be cultivated. We must think of other ways to make ourselves sure to break through the bottleneck and successfully build a foundation. ”

Ye Qin muttered to himself in a low voice and sat calmly for a while.

He has just stepped on the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Period now, and he has not yet reached the point of no return, as long as he does not meditate, he will not fall asleep. If it is at the peak of the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Period, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist this automatic convergence force.

There are two ways to build a foundation. One is to rely purely on one's own penance, which is extremely hopeless. Another way is to use external forces - taking Tsukidan, about 10% sure.

The monks of the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Period can already take the Tsukidan to forcibly break through the bottleneck.

Perhaps, it's time to consider returning to Qingdan Gate and obtaining this Tsukidan.

Ye Qin stood up, his body shook slightly, and the layer of dust on his body was immediately shaken away, stuffed a flame berry into his mouth, and flew away from the abandoned mine. In the past three years, he didn't think about it, he had long forgotten how to get out of this mine, so he could only fly around looking for a way out.

In the cave, some miners of the first and second levels of the gas refining period, as well as those evil men who seized the third and fourth layers of the gas refining stage of the mine, only to see a shadow flash in front of them, and a high-level monk flew in front of them.

Their mouths opened wide in astonishment, not understanding what a high-ranking monk was doing in this mine. However, they didn't dare to say anything about what the high-ranking monks had done, and continued to mine.

After a long time, Ye Qin finally found the exit and flew to the mouth of the cave. glanced at the Wang supervisor at the entrance of the cave and walked indifferently.

The pot-bellied Inspector Wang sat boredly in his big chair, and his eyes lit up to see an extremely strange young monk standing at the exit of the mine. After using the spiritual eye technique to investigate, Supervisor Wang immediately froze, stunned for a while, and did not dare to stop it.

He had strange doubts in his heart, he stayed here every day, and the ants didn't want to run into the hole without alarming him. But he had never seen the senior brother in front of him and entered the mine.

"Senior brother, when did you enter the cave?"

Suddenly, Supervisor Wang's face changed drastically, his whole body trembled, he looked at Ye Qin's distant back, and couldn't believe it, "It's the guy who entered the cave three years ago! He stayed in the mine for three years, didn't eat or drink, and didn't die." And he has already cultivated to the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Period, how did he do it!"
