The knight in the abyss

Chapter 256 Cultivation in the Foundation Establishment Period
When the group stopped to camp that night, they had traveled about thirty miles and had only descended about a mile vertically.

They found a naturally formed cave, and they lit a warm bonfire, chatting and enjoying the delicious dinner made by Kola.To be honest, the existence of halflings has made adventures more comfortable.According to the records in the small bamboo slips, even if they are not in the state of retreat, a monk in the foundation stage can go without food or drink for several months, but Lancero has never had the opportunity to verify whether it is true—because Kora did The food is really delicious.

Today's dinner is an abyss egg and ham sandwich, plus fish soup boiled with two dried blood lake fish and some spices.Although it is simple, it is very delicious, and the portion is sufficient. For example, Brutal ate three and a half portions by himself, and the half portion was given to him by little Isa who couldn't eat it.

This journey was mainly due to the fatigue caused by rock climbing, and the frequency of battles was obviously much lower. They only encountered two groups of Vlomo all day long, and one of them just circled far away for a while before leaving , seems to think that this team with two succubi is not that simple, and attacking them may not be a good idea.

Everyone was able to travel undisturbed, partly because of Lancelow's prior route planning, he deliberately avoided areas where a large number of demons haunted; Much less—this kind of inaccessible place is too boring even for demons.

In the dead of night, most of the companions were asleep, and Lancelot, Aramiel, and Elotesia were in charge of the night watch.As an elf, Aramir only needs 4 hours of meditation to get enough rest, so generally he will meditate first, and then wake up in the second half of the night to join the ranks of the night watchmen.

For the succubus paladin, she does not need sleep, but she also needs quiet rest to restore her ability to use spells.During this period of time, there should be no too intense sports (such as fighting), so it can just take on the task of vigil all night.But little Isa had been with her before, but the vampire girl's biological clock had been adjusted like everyone else's, and she was fast asleep in her brother's pocket at the moment.

Lancelow was not in a hurry to start meditating and practicing Qi every day, but instead studied the knowledge base left by Han Tianzun in the spiritual world.After successfully building the foundation, Xiaozhujian unlocked a lot of new content, and he has a lot of knowledge to learn.

The most important thing is about the cultivation method in the foundation building period.The ultimate goal of cultivation in the foundation building period is naturally to break through the realm and form a golden elixir, but according to the Xiaozhu slips, there is more than one path leading to this goal.The conventional method is of course practicing qi meditation and concentrating on kung fu. The disadvantage is that it is inefficient. A monk with average aptitude often exhausts his lifespan before he can hope to form an alchemy. He either dissolves himself and becomes a ghost cultivator; or Re-enter reincarnation, in order to plan the afterlife.

In view of this, the vast number of foundation-building monks have researched countless incredible methods. Some focus on alchemy, relying on refining heaven and earth treasures to improve their cultivation; some focus on spiritual consciousness, first form fake pills to deceive the world , prolong the lifespan of the yang, and then make up for the shortcomings to produce real pills; there is even a collection of suitable furnaces, through the method of double cultivation to reconcile the dragon and the tiger, catch the hurdles and fill them out, and then realize the rapid development of the skill...

Although Lancelot watched with relish, he regrettably found that most of these methods were not suitable for him.The reason is very simple. The multiverse he lives in does not have any natural treasures for cultivation, such as refining the Guyuan Pill to improve the skill in the foundation building period, and the inner pill that needs blood panax, gold and silver leaves, and low-level monsters. The main medicine of three flavors, where can he find these things?Even when suitable alternatives exist, the time and effort required to find them is not worth the effort.

It seems that after looking around, Lancelow found that the most suitable method for him was the most traditional cultivation method.His core skill, Aquarius Immortal Art, is of a very high rank, and his cultivation efficiency is even faster than some heretics, and has the characteristics of refining any type of heaven and earth aura, which is of great significance to him who cannot leave the abyss in a short period of time.

Moreover, with the advancement of cultivation, this set of exercises will also have some other mysteries, such as a drop of green liquid floating in mid-air in front of Lancelot at this moment, shining with mysterious light.

This drop of green liquid was naturally condensed and formed in front of him when he was running the Aquarius Immortal Technique, and there was no such phenomenon in the Qi refining period before.As Lancelow received his power, he slowly fell downwards, was caught by him with a small jade bottle made of cold crystal, and sealed in it.

The small bamboo slip mentioned that this phenomenon may occur, but it is not clear about the effect of this drop of green liquid, it only emphasizes that it can only be used on plants, and it may have miraculous effects.Considering that Han Tianzun is said to have created such a kung fu based on a treasure of heaven and earth, most of the liquid has a corresponding prototype, but since Han Tianzun only created this kung fu and has not actually practiced it, Lancelot suspects In fact, it is not sure what kind of effect this green liquid has, and it has to do a little experiment on its own.

As for the way of cultivation, in addition to improving one's cultivation base through core exercises, the other two focuses on the physical body and spiritual consciousness.Naturally, it doesn't matter during the Qi refining period, but the focus of each realm after that is different.In the foundation building stage, the strength of the body will greatly affect the success rate of the alchemy; and in the subsequent golden elixir stage, the strength of the spiritual consciousness directly determines whether it can break through to the legendary Nascent Soul stage.

For Lancelot, this is of course good news, because the method of body refinement does not rely so much on natural resources and treasures, but requires various extremely harsh environments and opportunities to fight against powerful enemies.From this point of view, there is no place more suitable for body training than the abyss - there are lava-flowing volcanoes, scorching deserts, freezing ice fields, swamps full of poisonous miasma, and everywhere are impatient to dispose of. A mighty demon to your death.

Although the improvement of spiritual consciousness is not very helpful for the impact of forming alchemy for the time being, Lancelow has experienced the benefits of spiritual consciousness many times during his adventures, so he plans to increase the strength of spiritual consciousness as much as possible while training his body.And fortunately, there happened to be a cultivation method to improve the spiritual consciousness in the Qingyun Sword Art.

This set of very practical sword formulas can be said to be Lancelow's second major skill, and countless enemies have died under the blue sword light.At present, he has started to practice the fourth level of Qingyun Sword Art. In addition to the power and length of the sword light, he can also summon a body-protecting sword shield, which will automatically protect the master when he is attacked, and release the sword light to fight back against the enemy.

But what's even more amazing is that starting from the fourth stage, one can cultivate a small magic power called "split light" in the sword art, which can summon an identical sword shadow when attacking, and the practice of controlling the sword shadow is just to exercise the magic power. A way to understand and increase strength.
