Chapter 34: Spirit Stones and Cultivation
Ye An returned to the courtyard hut, and impatiently opened Shen Xuanchun's codex and studied it carefully.
After half an hour, Ye An finally finished reading the codex and put it aside, his face cloudy.
According to Shen Xuanchun's record in the Codex, perceiving the fourth to fifth layers is the first bottleneck encountered by monks on the road to cultivating immortals, because the fifth and sixth layers are the accumulation of quantity. The "quantity" here does not refer to the degree of vigor of the aura, but to the size of the dantian.
Only the larger the dantian, the more spiritual power it can hold. Just like the truth of a kettle holding water, a large kettle can naturally hold more water.
That is to say, what is described in the classics of the sect - the amount is reached.
The Danqing Divine Pill that the master prepared for himself was extremely mysterious, and it was only useful for monks who perceived the fourth layer to take it, and they could greatly broaden their dantian, so as to enter the fifth layer of perception in one fell swoop.
The size of the dantian that the monk expanded when he perceived the sixth layer directly affected the height of the Dao foundation in the future. But it's not that the bigger the dantian, the better, if it's too big, it's difficult to transform all the spiritual power in the dantian, and it's difficult to build a Dao foundation.
And the monks who enter the fifth floor will also usher in a ridiculous disadvantage, that is, hunger.
Ye An calculated, he took a pill of Bigu Dan for ten days without food and did not feel hungry, but the classics had introduced Bigu Dan in detail, perceiving that monks would starve to death if they did not eat for 20 days, of course, they could not take Bigu Dan if they ate three meals like mortals, of course, the amount of a monk's meal can be described as a huge amount, and the amount of food for ordinary people in a year may not be the amount of a monk's few meals.
But leaving aside the turbidity in the grains, the monk's time is precious, and the time for meditation and retreat is not enough, so how can he eat all three meals?
Shen Xuanchun's Codex recorded that the number of Bigu Pills needed for the fifth layer was nearly a hundred times that of the fourth-layer monks!
There is also a way to avoid taking Bigu Dan, and that is to directly ingest the aura in the spirit stone. This method obviously saves a lot of spirit stones compared to taking Bigu Dan, but the perception of the fifth layer requires the ingestion of three lower-grade spirit stones at a time, and the number of spirit stones required by the cultivator of the sixth layer is doubled!
Ye An couldn't help but think of Miao Jin from Kelai Township Textile City, and when he first saw this person, he held a spirit stone in his hand.
Thinking that he had bought this person's Cold Yin Spirit Sword when he returned, and there were more than 6,000 spirit stones in the storage bag, he had confidently thought that he could cultivate all the way to the sixth layer of perception, Ye An was a little self-deprecating, and he still seemed a little ignorant and ignorant about cultivation after all.
More than 6,000 spirit stones are not considered cultivation, and all of them are only enough for six years to ingest in the fifth layer, even if they have a great opportunity to step into the sixth layer, they will still be troubled by the spirit stones at that time.
It's no wonder that in the sect over the years, I have never seen any senior brothers who perceive the fifth or sixth layer, and they must all be busy running around for the spirit stone! I'm afraid that except for some big sects and immortal cultivators with a lot of family background,
After worrying for a while, Ye An's eyes suddenly flashed, and he made up his mind, and said to himself: "Since you have stepped into the path of cultivating immortals, you must overcome all obstacles and overcome all difficulties before you can get a glimpse of the avenue!"
Ye An carefully poured the Danqing Divine Pill into his palm, and a medicinal fragrance came to his face, Ye An only felt that he seemed to have a little more spiritual power in the dantian at this time.
If this medicine is left outside, it will definitely cause a bloody storm among the sentient monks!
Feeling the master's painstaking efforts for him, Ye An's belief in stepping into the fifth layer was stronger, and he did not hesitate to take the Danqing Divine Pill.
The pill is tasteless, but after entering the body, it does not melt into the body as if it is usually taken as an ordinary pill, but after swallowing, the pill wanders in the body on its own as if it has life.
The surface of the pill was wrapped in a coat of spiritual power that came out of nowhere, and the coat grew bigger and bigger as it roamed around Ye An's body.
Whenever the pill traveled to Ye An's chest, for some reason, the coat would suddenly disappear, and then it would continue to swim before slowly wrapping the coat again.
From the outside, Ye An seemed to have a pigeon egg rolling on his skin under his skin, which looked very funny.
After swimming hundreds of laps, suddenly there was a heart-rending pain in Ye An's chest, worried about disturbing the master's death, Ye An endured it and didn't shout out a voice.
After such a day and a night, the pain had gradually disappeared, but Ye An was wet with sweat all over his body, and the ground of the grass hut was also a thick pool of sweat.
Without any warning, a spiritual light flashed in Ye An's chest, and the Danqing Divine Pill also trembled violently at this moment, slapping violently in Ye An's body.
Ye An's face became extremely painful, and he opened his mouth wide and spit out three mouthfuls of blood in succession, and his face became soothed.
At this time, the Danqing Divine Pill gradually calmed down, and a gap split in the middle of the pill was split in half, half of which fell into the dantian and half rushed to the chest.
As soon as half of the pill was submerged into the sea of spiritual energy of the dantian, the dantian was three times wider without warning, and the spiritual energy from the outside world also frantically surged towards Ye An's abdomen.
The pain of this process was difficult for monks to understand, and Ye An recalled his master's words in his mind before he passed out: "When you advance to the fifth layer, it's best to find a senior uncle to protect the Dharma so that you can protect you." A trace of regret flashed in his heart, and he forgot all about such an important instruction of the master.
In the uncontrolled raging aura around his body, Ye An fell on the wooden bed.
I don't know how long it took, Ye An was still a little dizzy when he woke up again, he opened his eyes slowly, and there seemed to be a figure in a trance, and when he came back to his senses, he finally saw this person's appearance clearly.
Three Elder Zhou Shixian!
How could she be here?" A trace of doubt flashed in Ye An's eyes, thinking back to the violent aura around him before he fainted, and after a little thought, he also understood that he was rescued by the third elder again this time.
Ye An hurriedly got up, his face full of gratitude, bowed to Zhou Shixian, and said respectfully: "Ye An thanks the three elders for saving their lives. ”
Zhou Shixian's face was cold, her tone was gentle, and she said softly: "I heard Senior Brother Shen say that his disciple Ye An is extremely smart, but he is so reckless when I see it today. Which disciple in the sect did not have an elder protector when he stepped into the fifth layer of perception, if I hadn't arrived in time, your reckless boy would have been the first disciple to die with an aura explosion since the opening of my Biyou Small Sect at this moment. ”
Ye An didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to say some tasteless words of gratitude again.
When Ye An raised his head again, he saw that Zhou Shixian had walked out of the grass hut at some point, and Zhou Shixian's voice came to his mind: "You have just stepped into the fifth layer of perception, first look inward and sort out your aura, and then come out to see me later, I have something important to look for you." ”
Only then did Ye An remember that he had fainted at the critical moment of entering the fifth layer of perception, and now that his realm was unstable, he hurriedly closed his eyes and looked at his dantian.
However, Ye An, who had just closed his eyes, suddenly changed his face and opened his eyes suddenly!
