Vol 2 Chapter 36: Solid base

"What are you doing?" Shen Shi frowned slightly, pushed the jade box containing the "solid spirit pill" back, and said, "The second-rank spirit pill is very valuable, how can I ask you to give it away for no reason? My thing?"
Zhong Qingzhu's eyes flowed and looked at him quietly, but he gently grasped Shen Shi's palm in his hand, stuffed the jade box into his hand, and said softly: "I was thinking of sending you A barrier-breaking pill will help you break through the realm, but I heard from my sister that you have already taken one from the elixir hall, so I thought maybe a solid spirit pill would be better, and you can take it after you break the realm. Come here today and see that you have actually broken the boundary and condensed your element. Isn’t this God’s will? Just accept it, stone."
Shen Shiwu shook his head to himself, but Zhong Qingzhu's eyes were waved like water, and he glared at him softly and softly, as if he was amazed, and his appearance was so amazing that he could not speak for a while. Zhong Qingzhu saw that he was no longer pushing back, and his face showed joy. Just about to say something, he realized that the Ji Anfu not far away was still standing there, watching him and Shen Shi. The two of them looked a little bit different.
Zhong Qingzhu frowned slightly and then eased away, turning his head and smiling at Ji Anfu: "Brother Ji, is there anything else?"
Ji Anfu shook his body slightly, as if he woke up, subconsciously said: "Oh... it's okay, it's okay."
Zhong Qingzhu smiled and nodded to him. Ji Anfu glanced at the two for the last time, then turned around with a bit of difficulty and walked towards the Spirit Medicine Hall.
Shen Shi glanced at the back of Ji Anfu walking away, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "This senior does not seem to like me a little bit."
Zhong Qingzhu was taken aback, then looked back at Ji Anfu again, thoughtfully, but then he heard Shen Shi smile and said: "Forget it, maybe I just thought about it. I just came back yesterday. If If I'm annoying so quickly, wouldn't I be a terrible person?"
Zhong Qingzhu laughed, glanced at him, his eyes soft, and said: "After you go back, you should take this solid pill as soon as possible. This kind of pill is made by a famous teacher in the Dantang. It is the best for strengthening vitality. However."
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 practice on Jinhong Mountain again, although It looks like you are much better than me now, but if there is anything I can help, just speak up."
Zhong Qingzhu nodded, but his eyes seemed to be blurred for a moment. He looked at Shen Shi and whispered: "Actually, if you didn't save me on Herring Island back then, I'm afraid I would have died there. It’s in the underground cave, where is there to speak of now?"
Shen Shi smiled and shook his head, and said, "How long ago it happened, but you still think so much."
Zhong Qingzhu took a deep look at him and then laughed.
The sea breeze blew, and the sea-viewing platform was peaceful and peaceful, and the seven huge Hongjun pillars stood tall like giants, as if they had never paid attention to the ant-like people under their feet.
※※※
After telling each other the location of Dongfu, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu separated on the Observation Platform. Originally, Shen Shi's original intention was to go to Shutang to take a look, but after receiving Zhong Qingzhu's gift After "Gu Ling Pill", after Shen Shi hesitated for a while, he decided to return to his own cave to talk about it.
He had just broken the boundary yesterday, and it was not even a day to count. Taking this solid spirit pill is the time when it has the greatest effect. It is a great help to stabilize his foundation and regulate the aura of his dantian. In this way, walking down the mountain road from Guanhaitai, through the forest corridor, he walked back to the shady and humid valley where his cave mansion was located.
The shade of the old trees and the old vines and green leaves that seem to be spreading ubiquitously make all the places in this valley full of verdant green. The small stream flowing under the valley beside the mountain road, the sound of water It was also murmured, adding a sense of tranquility to this place where few people came.
Shen Shi from a distance saw a black figure lying in front of his cave mansion gate. 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 had slept for a day yesterday, became excited. He didn't mean to accompany Shen Shi to wander around the sea view platform. Instead, he seemed to be very interested in this valley. Go outside and play by yourself.
Anyway, this little thing has always been wild. Shen Shi didn’t bother to restrain him, so he shouted to the bushes a few times,
Don’t run too far,
and then left with You Sun. The friend teased a few words, saying why some pets were not kept, but instead he caught a black pig back.
Shen Shi also laughed and didn't say anything. The little black pig's origins involved the demon world, and indeed he couldn't tell Sun You too clearly, so he had to deal with it in a perfunctory manner. At this moment, seeing the little black pig playing all morning, and as expected he ran back again, Shen Shi was also relieved, and it seems that he doesn't need to worry too much about it in the future.
The little black pig's perception is also quite sensitive. He raised his head and looked at Shenshi from a long distance. Once he could see that Shenshi was back, he immediately jumped up and trot all the way to the foot of Shenshi, rubbing affectionately With his legs and feet, Shen Shi smiled and touched the pig's head, and then took it back to the cave.
When the stone door was closed, the noises disappeared immediately, and there was only silence around, but the little black pig did not run to the bedroom, but looked around, and then headed toward the stone chambers next to this cave. , Seems to want to figure out the situation in other parts of this new home.
Shen Shi smiled and ignored it, walked back to the bedroom by himself, and then sat down on the stone couch for cultivation. After pondering for a while, he first put the jade box containing the solid spirit pill on the stone table beside him, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes.
Under divine thought, the whole body's qi channels and collaterals gradually emerged like a clear picture, but what was different from the past is that those spiritual powers that once dormant in the body's qi channels with a bit of laziness have disappeared at this moment and replaced them. It was under the abdomen, suddenly there was a place with a round shape as big as the mouth of a bowl. All the spiritual power absorbed into the body in the past, at this moment, is like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, all gathered here.
In the feeling, the spiritual energy here is vast and converging. It is not the scattered spiritual power in the previous Qi Refining Realm, but the water and milk blending together, and the degree of condensed and refined has more than doubled. This is the monk's sea of ​​air, commonly known as the Jade Mansion, and because the spirit power transformation pill will be born from this place when the realm is raised in the future, so it is also called the dantian.
At this moment, Shen Shi's dantian was filled with a vast expanse of spiritual energy. It was precisely after breaking the boundary yesterday that he opened up a sea of ​​qi and gathered all the spiritual power of his body here. It is from this moment that Shen Shi has truly embarked on the path of cultivation. However, this qi sea does not have qi wave fluctuations, it does not seem to be quiet, Shen Shi knows that this is because the time to break the boundary is too short, and the qi sea dantian has not been completely stabilized.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of fluctuation is not a major problem. As long as ordinary monks practice meditation for a month or so and stabilize their foundation, they will naturally be able to blend and stabilize their dantian, and then they can begin to practice magical powers above the Ning Yuan realm. However, at this moment there is a solid spirit pill at Shen Shi's hand, but it is specially made for this purpose. After taking it, in addition to the miraculous effect that can quickly stabilize the Qi and sea of ​​the pill field, it also adjusts the spiritual energy of the broken boundary monk himself. Taoism that adapts to the new realm is also quite effective, otherwise, it would not be called the second-tier spirit pill of the Lingxiaozong secret.
That girl Zhong Qingzhu is still careful.
When Shen Shi was taking the solid pill, such a thought passed through his mind.
※※※
It originally took a month to stabilize the foundation and blend the dantian. Because of the help of the solid spirit pill, and with the help of the powerful spirit pill, it only took Chen Shi three days to completely stabilize the foundation on the Ning Yuan realm. At this moment He only felt that his whole body was round and casual, and his fleshly body was far stronger and stronger than in the past, and he felt quite reborn. And the spiritual power gathered in the dantian is also a world away from the time of the refining state. It is no longer the lazy and unwilling appearance of the past, but like an arm, moving with one's mind, extremely tame.
Shen Shi tried to cast the five-element spell in the cave, and as expected, even if he did not use the mysterious spiritual power in the eyebrow, heart and acupuncture points, at this moment he used the spiritual power in his dantian to activate the spell. The casting speed is also greatly increased. Basically, the time required to cast a first-order spell is less than two breaths, and if you use the talisman to cast the spell, it can be compressed to about one breath.
In this way, the dantian spiritual power plus the Meixinqiao acupoints will directly double the spiritual power that can be used if Shen Shi can cast magic spells or learn the magical powers of the golden stone armor in the future. It made him very happy and full of confidence in his future practice. But before that, Shen Shi quickly found out that he seemed to be in a familiar dilemma again.
Poor...
In the way of cultivation in this world, there is no trick, and the double spiritual power directly caused him to consume the spiritual crystal twice. After the monk broke through to the Ning Yuan realm, his consumption of spirit crystals in his cultivation increased greatly, and one spirit crystal would be used in almost two days. This is also the reason why Ling Xiaozong sends fifteen spiritual crystals to each Ning Yuan realm disciple every month, which is to ensure everyone's most basic cultivation needs.
But at the moment these fifteen spirit crystals are obviously not enough for Shen Shi, and can only last him for half a month at most. From a long-term perspective, even after breaking the realm, the consumption of spirit crystals by the Ningyuan realm monks in the entire Ningyuan realm will no longer increase. Unless they reach the divine artistic realm, it doesn’t matter whether it is the first, intermediate or high-level Ningyuan realm , Basically it is the consumption of this level, but can not stand the sinking stone is double the amount.
So Shen Shi quickly mentioned the earning of spirit crystals once again as the most important emergency in his heart.
On the morning of the fourth day, Shen Shi, who had completely stabilized the foundation of his dantian, left the cave with the little black pig, and walked towards the platform to watch the sea, and started his own way of earning spirit crystals. From this time on, he It seems that he has a feeling that he has really started the cultivation of the Ning Yuan realm.
How can I earn this first amount of spirit crystal...
Turning to the top of the mountain, his vision was broad, and the endless blue waves of the sea appeared in front of him, Shen Shi thought this way, and then reached out his hand and gently touched the wishful bag on his waist.
