Chapter 269: Fifteenth Layer of Qi Refining
The place of burning hearts, in the depths of Muhuo Ridge.
The huge lava lake, as well as the pool of blood marrow in the center surrounded by the lava lake, many sect disciples gathered.
The disciples of the Thousand Spirits Sect and the Corpse Refining Sect, the Taiyin Sect, the White Bone Sect and other sects are constantly taking turns to enter the blood pool, soaking, improving the physical body, and even seeking breakthroughs.
And during this period, there were many disciples who had already stayed at the fifteenth level of cultivation in the Qi refining period, and with the help of the Zhuji Dan they brought with them, coupled with the benefits brought by the blood marrow pool to wash the flesh, they successfully broke through to the foundation building period.
Among the many sects, there are disciples who break through like this almost every day, and the scene of that breakthrough will make people feel shocked.
Although their cultivation was still suppressed by the blood pool in the qi refining period after they broke through, when they got out of the blood pool, their cultivation was immediately in the foundation building period.
Of course, during this period, there were still people who wanted to sabotage the cultivation of others.
However, almost all of them were exterminated by the disciples of the Jindan period of several sects who were guarding the side, and it was only then that the scene was shocked.
These disciples of the Jindan period all know that if they destroy each other like this, all parties will not be able to get benefits, so it is better to benefit together and let the disciples below break through.
In this way, this place will naturally slowly become orderly.
However, compared to these, Zhang Yan, who was in the Eye of the Blood Marrow, cultivated at a speed that was several times faster than these people.
After eight days of silent cultivation, Zhang Yan directly raised his cultivation to the peak of the fourteenth layer of the Qi Refining Period without any obstacles.
This surprised him at the same time, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
In the past, with such a cultivation speed and cultivation resources, how could Zhang Yan dare to expect it, even if he was in the Beiyuan Gate at the beginning, even if he used the lotion in the small stone to cultivate the elixir and refine the elixir for cultivation, he did not have such a speed.
This kind of cultivation can be called terrifying and demonic.
If those sect disciples above knew that the cultivation speed they had reached because of the soaking in the Blood Marrow Pool was like the speed between a snail and a rabbit compared to Zhang Yan below, then they didn't know how crazy they would be.
Compared to Zhang Yan's cultivation speed at the moment, it was simply a difference between cloud and mud.
And reaching the peak of the fourteenth layer of the Qi Refining Period means that there is only one step away from entering the fifteenth layer of the Qi Refining Period.
Then, it is one step closer to the foundation building period.
The excitement in Zhang Yan's heart can be imagined, thinking of being able to build a foundation, his heart can't help but be extremely hot.
However, what made Zhang Yan calm down instantly was that after he had cultivated for another two days, his cultivation was still stuck at the peak of the fourteenth layer of this Qi Refining Period, which could be said to have not moved at all, and he had not improved at all.
Zhang Yan took a deep breath and could only slowly open his eyes.
The old monster of the Void Yuan was still floating in the air, quietly looking at the pool of the Eye of the Blood Marrow, looking as usual.
At the Eye of the Blood Marrow, the blue bone stone remained quietly, unmoving.
It's just that now the top of the blue bone stone is gradually covered with fine cracks.
Moreover, on the top of the crack, there is a faint white flame and blue light flickering, and as for the outermost layer, there is also a blood light shroud, which looks full of weirdness and demonization.
As for the Eye of the Blood Marrow, the rich aura that emanated from it and the power to wash the flesh were all absorbed by the Blue Bone Stone.
"No wonder this aura is not enough to impact the fifteenth layer of qi refining, it turns out that it was all absorbed by this stone!"
Zhang Yan was slightly stunned, and then figured out the reason, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless and speechless.
And the ball of Foluo soul in Zhang Yan's hand has already been absorbed by half, and the entire Foluo soul has almost become half smaller.
However, Zhang Yan sensed his divine consciousness and meridians slightly, but he was pleasantly surprised, his divine consciousness was not only more than twice as powerful as before, but also the tenacity of the meridians and the speed of mana operation had also increased several times.
"When you build the foundation, you think you can bring out most of the power of a superb spiritual weapon, right?"
Zhang Yan suppressed the excitement and horror of joy in his heart, and sighed slightly.
"This blue bone stone just borrowed this eye of blood marrow to refine it, and when it is really refined, not only will the difficulty be greatly reduced, but the speed of refining will be much faster, and the amount of power in this eye of blood marrow will be used to enter, and the blue bone stone will be one of the main materials, and the tenacity will be on a higher level, you still throw out the spirit stone, don't be stingy......"
The old monster turned his head slightly to look at Zhang Yan, and after a pause, he said slowly.
"It's not easy to think about this refining weapon, but now it's burning spirit stones for this thing in disguise......"
Zhang Yan could only look helpless, glanced at the blue bone stone, slapped the storage bag in his hand, and once again took out half of the million spirit stones that he had snatched from Li Wuji's body and threw them into the pool.
Boom!
The cyan palm, condensed by strands of spiritual power, appeared around Zhang Yan's body, and then slapped down one by one, directly smashing hundreds of thousands of fast-down spirit stones.
Bang!
In the blink of an eye, a huge aura like a mountain torrent suddenly spread within the pool water of the Eye of the Blood Marrow, directly spreading the entire pool water.
Zhang Yan subconsciously couldn't help but feel distressed, this is hundreds of thousands of low-grade spirit stones!
Although he had broken through and improved his cultivation now, the aura he needed was extremely terrifying, several times more than the average Qi Refining Stage fifteenth-level cultivator needed.
However, the aura contained in these hundreds of thousands of fast-grade spirit stones appeared in the pool of this Eye of Blood Marrow, and he definitely couldn't absorb it all alone.
Inside, there are a few little guys, especially the little golden wing ball, which is already floating above the water surface of the Eye of the Blood Marrow at this moment.
The little guy was even more delighted when he felt a larger aura escaping out, and his two long wings fluttered happily across the pond, like a double oar.
This made Zhang Yan couldn't help but shake his head.
However, what made Zhang Yan even more stunned was the little demon cat, at this time, this little guy did not have the fear of the old monster before, and saw the large pile of broken spirit stones that appeared in the pool and scattered the spiritual energy, and suddenly a flying fish pounced, pounced into the pile of spirit stones, and curled up more comfortably.
"I don't even want to use as many spirit stones as I want......"
Zhang Yan couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile and muttered to himself.
Subsequently, Zhang Yan took a Bigu Pill and put away his distracting thoughts again, and then the huge aura that appeared sank into cultivation again.
I saw that the aura in the pool of the Eye of Blood Marrow seemed to have condensed into substance at this moment, and with the operation of Zhang Yan's exercises, it immediately swept up and pounced on Zhang Yan.
At this moment, Zhang Yan felt that his body was all excited.
Whether it is the bones or meridians in the flesh, with the increase of the amount of washing power in the eye of the blood marrow and the entry of the aura into the diagram, they are all trembling faintly, as if they are infinitely excited.
Zhang Yan slowly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and extremely slowly and cautiously operated the Bailing Technique and Refining Void Consciousness at the same time.
He knew that with the simultaneous operation of refining the void consciousness, absorbing the power in the soul of the Buddha can help break through the neck bottle and reduce the chance of failure.
After a while, as the spiritual energy in the pile of spirit stones in the pool water of the Eye of Blood Marrow completely escaped, Zhang Yan fell silent again into cultivation.
Five days have passed in the blink of an eye.
And today, it is the end of the blood pool trial, and all the disciples of the many sects who have entered the blood pool will also be directly teleported out of the pool.
At this moment, around the Blood Marrow Pool in the depths of Muhuoling, the disciples of all sects gathered are constantly rushing into the Blood Marrow Pool, trying to seize this little bit of time, hoping to improve their physical bodies a little at this time, or if they are lucky enough to be able to build a foundation directly in this half a day, as long as they enter the foundation building period, they are truly out of the bottom cultivators, that is, they have truly entered the beginning of the Dao of Cultivating Immortals.
But at this time, the scene was extremely tense.
Because at this moment, in the middle of the blood pool, the thick blood mist and the awe-inspiring bloody wind began to sweep and entangle, and the rolling and tumbling blood mist clouds began to sweep and slap the entire blood-red sky, straight into the sky.
Moreover, as the strong wind full of the smell of blood swept over from the end of the sky, the thick clouds of blood mist in the third layer of the entire blood pool began to fall from the sky, permeating the entire Muhuo Ridge.
This scene appeared surgingly, and most of the disciples of the Thousand Spirits Sect also knew that this was a sign that the blood pool trial was coming to an end.
The disciples of other sects also seem to have seen some clues from this, and it has been a month since the trial of the blood pool began, so the closure of the blood pool will be today.
The disciples of various sects couldn't help but hurry up and continue their cultivation.
And more than half a day, in the blink of an eye, in the next half day, tens of thousands of young monks gathered here, almost in this short half day, more than a dozen people broke through to the foundation building period.
This made the other monks who failed to break through at the last time can't help but feel a little gloomy, and they can't help but be quite envious.
However, everyone knows the Dao, this cultivation breakthrough is not something that can be broken through if you want to, even if the aura and Zhuji Dan are sufficient, plus the qualifications against the sky, it may not be said that you can break through.
In addition, there is also a certain amount of opportunity, and if the opportunity comes, it is extremely simple to break through.
But if you can't meet the opportunity, then no matter how hard you work to cultivate, no matter how many resources you accumulate, it will be in vain.
This chance, to put it bluntly, is also a fairy fate, sometimes it may be an idea, sometimes it may be a fight, or a life and death adventure.
After all, almost all of the young monks who came here for trials were elites in various sects, and they still had this mentality, and they immediately figured out the key to it, and packed up their moods.
At this moment, the thick blood mist tumbling above the third layer of the blood pool had already fallen, only a few feet away from the ground, making everyone here feel endlessly depressed.
However, these are all Zhilu Dao, this is a sign that the blood pool is about to open for the first time, and the people present did not panic.
And the disciples of the Thousand Spirits Sect are even more aware of the Dao, the exit of this blood pool, as long as there is a trial, will appear.
However, there is a limitation, that is, if you are killed or trapped in an underground cave or secret realm, the exit of the blood pool will no longer appear.
And those trapped disciples, the only result is that they are trapped here, and life and death are dead.
Unless you are lucky, you can rely on your own strength and luck to survive here, and insist on waiting until the next time the blood pool is opened again.
However, this blood pool is almost opened once in decades or hundreds of years, if it is a foundation building stage monk, it is definitely difficult to survive such a long time if it is only a monk in the qi refining stage.
Therefore, at this moment, almost all the disciples of the Thousand Spirits Sect pulled out of it one after another, and they didn't dare to stay too long.
In the past blood pool trials, there were many disciples of the sect, because at the end of the blood pool trial, they all wanted to seize the time after the end of the blood pool trial to improve their cultivation, but the result was that after entering the cultivation state, they forgot the end of the blood pool trial and missed the opening of the blood pool exit.
And those disciples of various sects who originally wanted to continue cultivating, when they saw the actions of the disciples of the Thousand Spirits Sect, they all stopped their cultivation and did not dare to continue to stay, and they all withdrew from the pool of blood marrow.
They knew that the Blood Pool was a secret realm of the Thousand Spirits Sect, and these disciples would know better.
The actions of these people made them pay attention to it, and there was definitely some secret danger when they left the pool of blood marrow in advance.
After the disciples of the various sects withdrew from the Blood Marrow Pool in unison, the blood mist that had tumbled and fallen to the surrounding Blood Marrow Pool began to slowly stop rolling, and it was still and silent.
In this way, a wave of depression began to appear here, slowly spreading.
The blood demon that originally roared in the Muhuo Ridge began to fall under this heavy blood mist, and it fell silent and hibernated.
All around, except for the lava that was still tumbling, there was a dead silence.
Coupled with the sense of depression at this time, the disciples of other sects who didn't know much about this blood pool couldn't help but feel tense.
It's really that this rolling blood mist is too huge, and when it falls, it almost crushes down on these people.
If it really rolls down, no one knows what danger exists inside, if it is really like the power of blood mist rolling inside, then few people here can resist it.
Thinking of the possible dangers or accidents inside, most of the people here were almost frightened, restrained their breath, and waited quietly for the atmosphere to come out.
"It's a pity for that fire essence this time!"
On the other side of the lava lake, Sixth Ming looked at the thick blood mist that was falling in mid-air, and said with great pity.
"Sixth Senior Brother don't have to worry, that Fire Yuan Essence is not necessarily on the dead Thousand Spirit Sect disciple, maybe it is still in the hands of Senior Sister Lan Ling, if you guess correctly, Senior Sister Lan Ling should be hiding on the road and healing. ”
Standing on the edge of the Sixth Bright Eye, the blood shadow shook his head slightly, and said: "However, why didn't you see the instinctive guy coming over when the blood pool was opened this time?" That guy usually likes to pretend to be a high-ranking monk, and he is ...... serious."
Hearing the words of the blood shadow, the sixth bright eyes couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, blushed slightly, and whispered: "Who knows, on the side of the deserted city, we haven't been in frequent contact recently, and we are all preparing for the next opening of the Netherworld in the Deserted Ancient Tower." The junior brother came here this time, and he also came here for the admiration of this fire element essence, and you also know that I am practicing the fire attribute exercise......"
The sixth person smiled, and he couldn't help but make the faces of the other sect disciples not far away turn slightly pale, revealing a look of horror.
As for the disciples of the Thousand Spirits Sect, most of them looked the same, they had almost heard of the name of the Sixth Mingmu Senior Brother, as long as this smile came out, it showed that there was murderous intent in their hearts.
But as long as you don't offend the sixth Mingmu senior brother, you will almost take great care of the junior brothers below.
Therefore, these people have no feeling for the meaning of this smile.
The blood shadow was even more directly ignored, he knew that the killing intent revealed by the sixth Ming Dao was not aimed at him, even if he didn't care at all, he said: "It's just strange that I haven't seen Xue Wuwu until now, what's going on? If that kid has any accident, the anger of the city lord of the underworld city will not be easy to dissipate." ”
"Second Senior Brother, I heard that when entering the blood pool, Xue Wuwu seemed to be going to take action against the disciple who jumped into the lava lake just now and retrieve the things, but it seems that he didn't come, it won't be ......"
Yan Xiaolou on the side said loudly.
"It won't be so easy to die, right? If you die like this, our sect won't be able to take care of it, but don't worry, if the city lord of the underworld city Xue Falling City comes to ask for someone, the elders of the Desolate Ancient Tower will definitely apologize and take care of it." ”
The sixth Mingmu was slightly stunned, then put away the folding fan on his hand and opened it, and said with a smile.
Hearing this, the Blood Shadow shook his head slightly and fell silent.
And Yan Xiaolou and other disciples of the Thousand Spirits Sect heard this, but a slight sneer appeared on their faces.
Almost all of these disciples are Zhilu Dao, and it doesn't hurt to come to the Thousand Spirits Sect to make a fuss.
However, if it was too much, the elders of the Ancient Tower didn't mind asking him to leave.
That's when it gets to life.
These disciples who came out of the Desolate Ancient Pagoda all knew the horror of those old monsters in the Desolate Ancient Pagoda, and their strength did not suppress the Snow Allure City in the slightest.
And at this moment, half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the thick blood mist in the air finally moved.
I saw that those blood mist that had gathered together suddenly rumbled and split apart at this time, emitting an incomparably strong blood light inside, which was extremely dazzling.
But this blood light disappeared in the blink of an eye, and what appeared in front of everyone was only a circular blood light channel that was several zhang in size.
"The blood pool trial, this is the end, junior brothers, now hurry up and get out!"
Seeing this blood light channel appear, the blood shadow shouted to the disciples of the Thousand Spirits Sect.
Hearing this, the disciples of the Thousand Spirits Sect immediately did not dare to delay for half a minute, and they all got up one after another and swept towards the blood light channel.
The disciples of the other sects, when they heard the words of the blood shadow, and then saw the disciples of the Thousand Spirits Sect who had entered the blood light channel, they all moved one after another.
But at this moment, one person did not get up.
On the edge of the lava lake, there is still a girl with a black veil sitting cross-legged, staring at the lava lake, it is Jing Wuqing.
And at this moment, under the lava lake, in the underground space.
In the pool of the Eye of the Blood Marrow, Zhang Yan was wrapped in blood and couldn't see clearly.
But he could hear the rumbling sound in his body at the moment.
Burst!
Suddenly, the sound suddenly stopped, followed by a crisp sound.
Rumble!
At this time, the blood light that wrapped Zhang Yan shattered, and he remembered the monstrous waves, revealing Zhang Yan's body. And the spiritual power on Zhang Yan's body was like a terrifying wave, rumbling and exploding.
From Zhang Yan's body, there was a powerful and incomparable coercion.
"Is this the fifteenth layer of the Qi Refining Period?"
In the pool of the Eye of Blood Marrow, Zhang Yan slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were bright and deep, and then muttered to himself.
