Chapter 187 Mood (10,000 words updated every day)

Lao Dao and the other three were not the only group of human monks that Zhao Di had encountered in the waters of Island No. 8 who had thoughts about him. On the third day after meeting these three people, Zhao Di also met a mid-stage monk who didn't know what to do on the way. This person is a stout man with a height of a few feet, and he is about to make a move on Zhao Di by relying on the powerful power of his natal magic weapon, a huge stone mallet that can knock on a mountain and a broken bridge.

However, when this person approached within 100 zhang of Zhao Di and found that he was full of terrifying aura, he was so frightened that he fled

The monks who were able to gather so many evil qi either hunted a large number of high-level demon beasts, or killed a lot of monks of the same rank or above, no matter what the situation was, it showed that this person's strength was outstanding, and he was by no means an ordinary early stage cultivator

Although this big man is five big and three thick, but his mind is very clear, he is a mid-stage cultivator, and his cultivation is one order higher than the other party, if the other party's strength is far beyond the same level, he is not much sure that he can kill the other party, in this case, of course, he will flee immediately before the other party makes a move

The closer he got to Island No. 8, the more monks Zhao Di encountered. Sometimes it's a solo actor like him, and sometimes it's a team of threes and twos, but in general it's mostly the latter.

After all, if you want to hunt demon beasts here, in addition to the threat from demon beasts, the threat from other human monks is even greater, if you are left alone and are targeted, it is very dangerous to be outnumbered. Therefore, there are very few monks who dare to do this, and almost without exception are existences whose strength far exceeds that of the same level, and only this kind of existence can return to Island No. 8 safely after hunting demon beasts

Therefore, when Zhao Di met these monks, almost all of them exchanged glances with each other very tacitly, and they missed each other at a speed, as if they had never met each other.

Occasionally, there were some ill-intentioned people, but after getting a little closer, seeing the amazing aura on Zhao Di's body, they all had similar thoughts to that big man, and they didn't rashly attack Zhao.

In this way, after the attention of various monks, Zhao Diyou returned to Island No. 8 without danger.

For a monk in the early days of Yudan, it is not uncommon for him to be able to return safely after seven or eight years in the waters of Island 8. Therefore, some monks on Island 8 who had seen Zhao Di seven or eight years ago, and after seeing Zhao Di at this time, they did not make a fuss except for being impressed by him and respecting him more. For monks in the Yudan period, the strength is directly related to the power of possessing magic weapons, if an early stage monk has some extremely powerful magic weapons, it is not worth paying attention to killing the middle or even late stage monks. Of course, as long as the magic weapon is not too far away, the high-level monks still have a clear advantage when facing the low-level monks.

Zhao Di habitually made a small purchase on Island 8, and then returned to Penglai Immortal Island. And casually went to the pavilion where the Zhengdao League was responsible for renting the cave mansion and took his own cave mansion

This overseas experience, his gains can be described as extremely rich, and in the next time, he will use these gains to greatly improve the cultivation of himself, his spirit beast Ice Wind Python, and the two daughters of Youlan Youruo

The amount of pills to be refined this time is really a lot, and they are all extremely valuable, even if some auxiliary materials for alchemy are expensive, especially Zhao Di also needs a considerable quantity, and its total price is simply an astronomical amount for a monk in the Dan period

Moreover, Zhao Di also found out miserably that the number of middle-grade spirit stones in the storage bracelet was far from enough for him to use

This is something he had already expected, although Qiankun Baoding provided him with a huge amount of wealth in the early stage, so that his strength far exceeded that of monks of the same level, but with the improvement of his cultivation, the role of these spirit stones will become smaller and smaller, and even later, the circulation of treasures is not at the expense of spirit stones, and after the middle-level spirit stones and even high-level spirit stones cannot be used to buy treasures that are useful to him, the effect of Xiaoding has weakened a lot.

So he has been looking for ways to improve his strength, this is the most important and never-ending

Zhao Di sat in the secret room in the Yuqing Peak Cave Mansion, holding a red, translucent coral reef stone in his hand, smiling silently.

This piece of fire coral, which looks to be 200 years old, was found from the storage bag of Lao Dao and the other three.

This thing is of a low age, although it is not worth many spirit stones, but it rarely flows out, and once it is found, most of it will be used to refine some fire attribute treasures immediately, so Zhao Di has been inquiring about various markets for a while, but he has never been able to get one.

But he didn't expect that someone would send the treasure he couldn't find to him in his hands, and the coincidence of fate made Zhao Di feel a little emotional

In this way, Zhao Di had already gathered all the Seven Treasures of Buddhism, and as long as he used Xiao Ding to cultivate the spiritual power of several treasures such as fire coral to the limit, he could start refining the Mixed Yuan Seven Star Sword that placed Zhao Di's infinite expectations

This kind of magic weapon that is very compatible with his exercises, can be continuously refined and strengthened as a natal magic weapon, and the power is absolutely extraordinary in terms of materials, is one of the best means to enhance Zhao Di's strength.

In addition, a large number of sixth-level demon pills are the main raw materials, which can refine several pills that are useful for both early and mid-stage cultivators, including the Huayuan Pill. I believe that with the help of these pills, Zhao Di's cultivation can still make rapid progress.

In the following time, Zhao Di instructed the second daughter to continue to use Xiaoding to cultivate middle-grade spirit stones, and at the same time, he also used Yin Fire to refine some sixth-level demon souls to produce some "Falling Soul Pills" with extremely strong soul power, this kind of elixir is an excellent "elixir" used by the second daughter as a ghost to improve her cultivation and break through the bottleneck of the elixir.

As for Zhao Di himself, he refined all the few sixth-level Jiao Demon Pills in his hand into sixth-level "Hua Jiao Pills" for the Ice Wind Python to refine and use.

Then Zhao Di began to refine the Huayuan Pill he had taken. When the auxiliary materials were not enough, Zhao Di would take a batch of mid-grade spirit stones to buy some in Fang City.

In this way, Zhao Di had to go out every few months to purchase a batch of items, and then continue to refine the pill. During this period, he also casually went to the pavilion where the Zhengdao League was responsible for renting the cave mansion, and extended the lease period of his cave mansion for another fifty years.

This cave has a strong aura, far better than Luojia Island, it doesn't matter when the cultivation was low before, for Zhao Di, who is already a monk in the Yudan period and needs a lot of aura between meditation and tuna, any more favorable conditions cannot be easily let go

Two years later, Zhao Di finally refined a large number of pills, began to practice in retreat, took the Huayuan Pill, refined the medicinal power, and then circulated the medicinal power throughout the body over and over again according to the "Mixed Yuan Jue" exercise.

Youlan and Youruo were not idle, they continued to cultivate five kinds of treasures such as fire coral with Xiaoding, and at the same time took the refining "Falling Soul Pill", and at the same time, they also had to take care of the Ice Wind Python and feed it the sixth-level Jiao Pill regularly.

As for the work of guarding the cave mansion and studying the classics, it is naturally the responsibility of the second daughter, and it can be said that it is with the assistance of the ghost slave and the second daughter that Zhao Di was able to meditate and practice. This is also his original intention to take the ghost slave. It's just that Youlan Youruo is the second daughter, which is better than Zhao Di originally expected, and if the second daughter is just to deal with some chores, it is really overkill.

Single-minded penance, time flies, and no matter people, ghosts, or spirit animals in the cave, they are all frantically increasing their cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.

On this day, Zhao Di sighed and stood up.

He swallowed a pill of the best Yuan Pill cultivated by Xiao Ding yesterday, closed his eyes and meditated, and spent a day and night refining the medicinal power, but he still couldn't turn the powerful spiritual power contained in the elixir into his own use, impacting the last bottleneck in the early stage of the elixir.

Something similar had happened to him dozens of times, that is to say, he had wasted dozens of top-grade Yuan Dan, dozens of times he had failed to hit the Great Perfection realm in the early stage of the knot, and he had not been able to enter the realm of the middle stage of the knot pill for a long time. Judging from the current situation, even if Zhao Di took more pills, it would still be useless and wasted

Since he had the Heaven-Defying Xiaoding, which could upgrade ordinary pills to top-grade pills, this kind of thing had rarely happened to Zhao Di. This kind of advancement within the same realm, as long as Zhao Di's cultivation is reached, and then with the assistance of a few powerful top-grade pills, he can often easily break through the bottleneck and enter the next level.

It was only when he encountered the advancement of the Great Realm, such as the thirteenth layer of the Qi Refining Period to the early stage of foundation building, and the late stage of foundation building to the early stage of the Jie Dan, that this kind of qualitative leap would make Zhao Di encounter great difficulties.

When Zhao Di advanced from the peak of the early stage of foundation building to the middle stage of foundation building, he easily broke through with only two pills of the best elixir, and in the late stage of advanced foundation building, he didn't even use a single top-grade pill to succeed in one fell swoop.

And now that Zhao Di has prepared a large number of top-grade Yuan Dan, and there is also a high-level spirit gathering array and a bunch of high-level spirit stones to help, he still can't break through the bottleneck, which really makes him very depressed

The reason for this, Zhao Di has already thought carefully many times, and finally he believes that this matter should be related to his state of mind.

Many exercises, especially those of Taoism and Confucianism, have the theory of turning the mind into the ordinary.

When a monk's cultivation is improving extremely quickly, his state of mind often cannot keep up with the progress of his cultivation, so he needs to hone his state of mind specifically.

Confucianism pays attention to entering the WTO, and when tempering one's state of mind, it is necessary to enter the mortal world, contact with mortals, and guide these mortals to the concept of governing the country and leveling the world advocated by Confucianism. Therefore, when Confucian monks often need to enter the mortal world, they will hold certain official positions in the mortal world or participate in some major decisions in the mortal world as literati and scholars, and participate in some major decisions in the mortal world, playing an important role. If the state of mind has been greatly tempered in this process, it may even be possible to produce the unique power of Confucianism such as Haoran righteousness.

Haoran righteousness, like the breath of the scroll, is one of the typical supernatural powers of Confucian monks, and it is also the basis for Confucian monks to cast many powerful spells, and it is an indispensable supernatural power for high-level Confucian monks.

Therefore, every year, there are many Confucian monks, who have converged and cultivated, come to various parts of the mortal world, and lead a generation of demeanor.

Different from Confucianism, although the Taoist exercises also pay attention to the transformation of the mind into the ordinary, the focus is on "breaking the world", that is, seeing through the meaning of the world.

The Taoist Gate pays attention to everything, and the monk enters the mortal to exercise the state of mind, and generally has to completely turn into an ordinary mortal, personally feel the birth, old age, sickness and death, bitterness, joy and sorrow of the lowest mortals, and experience all kinds of changes in the heart, confirming the ten thousand ways of heaven and earth. Only by seeing through the Tao can we transcend it, be free from restraint and care, and cultivate the mind for self-cultivation.

Another mainstream branch of the Righteous Path League, Buddhist monks, pays attention to "crossing the world", that is, the meaning of purifying sentient beings. Buddhist monks should always have compassion and be kind to others, but they do not particularly emphasize the concept of turning ordinary people. Some schools of Buddhism believe that all living beings in the world have karma, and aging and passing away is the most important way to resolve karma. And the monks who practice the immortal method and forcibly elevate their longevity are acting against the sky, and their karma will only increase. The higher the cultivation level, the greater the karma, and the more susceptible it is to being eaten by it.

The monks of the three sects of evil paths: the Demon Gate, the Demon Gate, and the Demon Gate do not pay much attention to this, and tend to pay more attention to the spontaneous nature, follow the natural nature of the monks themselves, and are not pretentious. But there are often evil monks who gradually become more and more tyrannical and cruel because their main exercises are too bloody and gloomy, and even things that lose their nature and lose their minds occasionally happen.

The "Mixed Yuan Jue" exercises practiced by Zhao Di are pure and authentic Taoist exercises, and the state of mind must be so that the ancient wells are not wavering, not impatient or impatient. And in the past hundred years of immortal cultivation career, Zhao Di has already done this, so he didn't take these things too seriously.

As for the theory of turning one's mind into the ordinary, he has also seen many times in the classics that if this matter is not properly handled, it may indeed cause mental obstacles, which may cause some cultivation bottlenecks to become several times more difficult, and may even make it impossible to advance in cultivation for the rest of his life;

After all, Zhao Di had already had more than 20 years of mortal life experience when he was born, and he thought that he didn't need to go through the stage of turning his heart into a mortal anymore, but he didn't expect that just the bottleneck in the early stage of the knot made him encounter difficulties

Are you going to go to the mortal society for a decade or two and waste this precious cultivation time? Or are you looking for some other alternative method that takes less time?

When Zhao Dizheng was weighing and uncertain repeatedly, suddenly the soul sacrifice bead in his body reacted.

Zhao Di frowned, Youlan Youruo must have something urgent to report to him, and the second daughter can't make the decision, otherwise she will never disturb him at the critical juncture of his retreat.

Zhao Di stretched out his hand and flicked it lightly, and a purple qi struck on the heavy stone door of the quiet room, and the latter slowly moved away, revealing the figure of the two daughters at the door, both of whom had a nervous and cautious expression

Youlan was holding a red sound-transmitting jade talisman in her hand, and after she saw Zhao Di, she didn't say a word, and directly threw the jade talisman to Zhao Di.
