Do not die

Whether it is spiritual energy or evil energy, it has the ability to sublimate a living body's life level.

The biggest difference between the two is that while evil spirits achieve this function, they also have the ability to erode the soul and pollute the intelligence.

When monks practice in such an environment, at least their temperament will be distorted and confused, and at worst, their humanity will be lost, their wisdom will disappear, and they will transform from "human" to "animal".

This is absolutely unbearable for human monks.

But it had no effect on the gold-powder double-pedicle lotus that Meng Zhou took out from the spiritual gourd space at this moment.

Because this spiritual lotus was originally cultivated by Meng Zhou using a large amount of green lotus spiritual marrow. Like those spiritual lotus clones, this spiritual lotus is also like an extension of Meng Zhou's body.

Although the environment in front of him was not the one that Lian Lian liked, Meng Zhou could clearly feel that when it was first implanted, the "Lotus Elf" that was integrally connected to Ling Lian conveyed a sense of rejection and resistance. Obviously, it did not want to be there. Take root here.

However, when Meng Zhou used his authority to force this spiritual lotus to take root in the place where evil spirits were stagnant, it took root without any accidents.

The biggest problem is that Linglian is rooted here, and maintaining quality without deterioration is already the limit, and there will never be any room for growth.

This is not a problem for Meng Zhou.

This spiritual lotus is now at the third-level extreme level, and he does not expect it to go any further in a short time.

When Linglian took root completely, the aura that was incompatible with this place disappeared a lot, but it was still a little too conspicuous.

Although this is an inconspicuous and ordinary place in Fifty Thousand Miles of Kurosawa Plains, if someone comes nearby, they may still notice its existence.

Meng Zhou looked at it carefully and arranged a concealment formation based on evil veins and evil energy around it, completely covering up the brilliance of the spiritual lotus.

After such a disguise, Meng Zhou flashed and entered the self-contained "lotus space" where the pink lotus petals were tightly closed.

The internal space of this small "Lotus Space" is not too large, about the size of a basketball court.

Even so, Meng Zhou was very satisfied.

What satisfied him most was the rich aura permeating the space.

These auras were originally stagnant evil spirits that were very harmful to practitioners, but after being transformed and filtered by the spiritual lotus, they turned into pure auras.

What's even more rare is that compared to the spiritual energy in the spiritual veins of the spiritual land, the spiritual energy concentrated in the lotus space has the nature of vegetation, which is more active and spiritual.

The reflection in practice is that it is easier to be refined and absorbed by monks, making practice more effective with half the effort.

To other monks, this kind of practice environment alone is a treasure.

The effect of practice is like taking elixirs anytime and anywhere, but you don't have to worry about being harmed by erysipelas.

You can get all the benefits of taking elixir without any harm from it.

This effect exceeds all well-known or unknown formations.

For Meng Zhou, the effect was much simpler.

Its greatest function is to provide him with a "mobile spiritual land" where he can practice to the peak of elixir formation.

For the Five Sects, including Meng Zhou, the biggest difficulty in this "hide and seek" game is that even if you leave the five third-level spiritual veins with the most obvious targets, if you want to continue practicing, you have to rely on the other three The spiritual land.

These third-order spiritual lands that exist either obviously or implicitly in the third-order evil veins everywhere, although the targets are not as conspicuous as the five third-order spiritual veins, as long as Xingxiu Palace is willing, they can always find them one by one.

If you want to hide better and longer, you must temporarily give up the idea of ​​continuing to practice and randomly disperse into the vast world with a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles.

But if you don’t want to give up your practice, you have to be mentally prepared for a “home visit” from a constellation palace boss at any time.

Always give up one of the two ends.

Because the small "lotus space" provided by this spiritual lotus allowed Meng Zhou to avoid the problem of choosing between two, and get the best of both.

Meng Zhou took out a futon, sat down cross-legged, and thought about it in his mind.

With this "Lotus Space", he can move freely within the five domains, regardless of Wumenghai or Kurosawahara where he is now.

However, Lian Ziling is currently outside for activities, and it has just arrived. It is the time when he is "in high spirits". In order to avoid accidents, he should move around as little as possible, and of course he should try to move around as little as possible.

Secondly, after all this trouble, Meng Zhou really wanted to settle down and rest for a while. No matter what, he couldn't delay his practice.

Therefore, Meng Zhou decided to rest here for a while.

Thinking like this, Meng Zhou did not call Bai Zhi out for the time being, letting her continue to sleep peacefully in the sea of ​​consciousness.

After clarifying his plan, Meng Zhou took inventory of the remaining ice sculptures in the spirit gourd space.

There were originally thirty-seven ice sculptures. Apart from the twelve that had been purified, there were now twenty-five still waiting in line.

Among them, there are fourteen who have cultivated in the early stage of pill formation, eight who have cultivated in the middle stage of pill formation, and three who have cultivated in the late stage of pill formation - two with seven levels of pill formation, and one with nine levels of pill formation.

Previously, due to the needs of the "Qihuang Sect", the targets for purification were chosen at all levels of cultivation, including those who had just entered the first level of pill formation, and those who had the strongest cultivation and reached the peak level of pill formation.

This time, without this layer of consideration, Meng Zhou felt much more comfortable and calm when doing it.

His consciousness penetrated into the spirit gourd space, and with a thought in his mind, an ice sculpture made by members of the Lihen Cult with the second level of pill formation was taken out.

Finally, after twenty repeated trials of life and death, the soul of this Lihen cult member was completely purified.

At the same time, it also provided Meng Zhou with 10,000 points of "flesh and blood rebirth" skill experience, allowing him to further his accumulation in the completion stage.

[Flesh and blood rebirth small amount 30,000/300,000]

After that, after eleven consecutive days of persistence, Meng Zhou purified all the remaining thirteen ice sculptures formed by the Lihen cult members in the early stages of forming the pill. For this "flesh and blood rebirth", he once again gained 155,000 skill experience points, completing it. Most of it is accumulated in the small success stage.

【Flesh and blood rebirth small cost 185,000/300,000】

Looking at this progress, Meng Zhou lamented the difficulty of improving his fourth-level skills.

However, the next eight ice sculptures formed by the Lihen Cult in the middle stage of the Dan Formation gave Meng Zhou great "comfort".

In total, they provided Meng Zhou with 210,000 skill experience points. On average, each ice sculpture provided more than 25,000 experience points.

In other words, the average cultivation level of these eight ice sculptures is slightly higher than the fifth level of pill formation.

This consumed a total of nearly half a month of Meng Zhou's time, and the "flesh and blood rebirth" was able to complete the accumulation of the minor accomplishment stage and advance to the realm of great accomplishment.

[Rebirth of flesh and blood is 95,000/600,000]

As the level of flesh and blood rebirth increased, more experience and insights poured into Meng Zhou's heart, which not only gave him more insights into this skill, but also gave Meng Zhou more insights into the fourth-level way. feelings.

"However, that's the end of it." Meng Zhou sighed in his heart.

Now, there are only three ice sculptures left in the spirit gourd space, two with seven levels of elixir formation and one with nine levels of elixir formation.

Meng Zhou spent six days to completely purify the last three ice sculptures.

They brought him a total of 115,000 skills and experience. Although the harvest was huge, for the now complete "flesh and blood rebirth", even half of the accumulation was not enough.

[Rebirth of Flesh and Blood 210,000/600,000]

At this point, all the ice sculptures in Meng Zhou's hands were consumed, and no one remained.

At this point, the Five Realms Lihen Sect has been basically completely "eclipsed" by him. In addition to being unable to eat it, he really can't stop talking about it. They have all become stepping stones on his growth path.

…

All the ice sculptures have been purified, and there are no new "testing" objects. The practice of the skill of flesh and blood rebirth has to be suspended at this moment.

There was still some time before the next retreat, and Meng Zhou did not immediately think about a new practice plan, allowing his mind to relax for a rare moment.

But that didn't mean he was resting.

…

On this day, after being nourished by high-quality spiritual energy rich in plant essences, Meng Zhou felt that his body and soul had once again returned to their peak state.

Then, Meng Zhou started a normal day.

He first took out a large amount of heart essence and blood from his body and stored it in a "blood pool" in the spirit gourd space - this is the result of accumulation over the years.

At the same time, he continuously poured his excess soul power into the consciousness-like sea space of the divine soul armor.

At the same time, after the restrictions were released, the natal living poison that lingered around him and was nourished by his life energy began to multiply at an extremely fast rate.

These natal living poisons were continuously reborn, and he threw them into the Sea of ​​Consciousness Soul Pond one after another, and accepted the infusion and assimilation.

When the number of these natal living poisons accumulates to a certain amount, Meng Zhou will also turn them into a "transparent round mirror" or a natal living poison flying sword.

However, after Meng Zhou refined them in complete sets, he did not release them one after another according to the original plan to continuously increase the number of "transparent round mirrors" within the five domains.

It's not that he doesn't want to improve his control over the five domains, but he really doesn't want to attract extra attention from Lian Ziling.

It is inevitable that the sensitivity of perception of Yuanying monks is better than that of Danjie monks.

But how much he won, and whether Lian Ziling had special talents in this area, Meng Zhou didn't know.

It is also impossible for him to risk exposure and make some extreme attempts.

Because of this concern, not only did he not continue to increase the number of "transparent round mirrors", but he also made great changes to the nearly two hundred "transparent round mirrors" that were originally touring within the five regions.

First, at the expense of clarity, each "transparent round mirror" is spread wider, making its "melt" in the void less dense and its traces more obscure.

The second is to make each "transparent circular mirror" move slower at the expense of a lower refresh frequency of the "deduction world" to minimize the disturbance to the surrounding void during its movement.

Another one is to make the characteristics of this life's living poison extremely restrained.

Also, Meng Zhou reduced the convenience of actively substituting into the "transparent round mirror" and using it to travel to the outer world.

As for the method of using a "transparent round mirror" to directly track Lian Ziling, it has never been tried once.

When he marked the Lianzi Mausoleum that appeared in the Gray Mist Mountains at the cost of the self-destruction of a Tai Sui body in the early stage of pill formation, he had a desire in his heart to use a "transparent circular mirror" to track him in real time. The network of transparent round mirrors spread across the five realms made it impossible for him to hide his traces.

But in the end, he still strangled this overly "arrogant" approach before actually implementing it.

However, this does not mean that Meng Zhou voluntarily gave up his greatest advantage and chose to be a stupid bird who covered his ears and stuck his head in the sand.

Although he tried to avoid "looking directly" at Lian Ziling and abandoned the simplest and easiest "direct tracking method", there were many ways to indirectly mark and confirm Lian Ziling's movement trajectory.

For example, the Tai Sui body that he arranged to lurk in the Gray Mist Mountains and Baiyue Bay was all "fuses" that he deliberately left behind for Lian Ziling to trigger.

And there are many such "fuses".

They could not only give him an early warning and mark traces of Lian Ziling's activities, but they were also "clues" he left for Lian Ziling to investigate.

On the one hand, he has mastered erasing the traces of time and preventing retroactive tracking, so he erased all obvious traces using the most violent method.

But on the other hand, he left many "clues" for Lian Ziling to explore and discover.

——Even if he doesn't stay, he can't completely erase them, because the existence of "Ge Ping" and "Qi Huangzi" are real, and there are many monks who have come into contact with them. As for There are countless people who have heard of their existence.

Even if Meng Zhou cuts off all traces of their time, as long as these people are still there, the traces of "Geping", "Qihuangzi" and "Qihuangmen" cannot be erased from their roots.

In this case, Meng Zhou simply went against the grain and took the initiative to bury clues within these traces.

What makes Meng Zhou feel strange is that ever since Lian Ziling triggered the first "fuse" in the Gray Mist Mountains, he has become completely silent and has not continued to trigger the "fuse" in Baiyue Bay.

In his imagination, after experiencing what happened in the Gray Mist Mountains, Lian Ziling should rush to the Jade Lake without stopping to conduct deep excavations.

This unusual situation made Meng Zhou's heart quietly lift.

Of course he would not believe that Lian Ziling really fell silent.

Meng Zhou, with alarm bells high in his heart, began to follow more actively.

Meng Zhou remembered that there was a very classic scene in the film and television series of his previous life.

——Q: How to determine the traces of a ghost that comes and goes without a trace?

——Answer: Sprinkle flour or other things that can make it visible where it may pass.

For Meng Zhou, the vast amount of information in the "Deduction World" is like flour covering the five domains.

Unless Lian Ziling always "walks alone and never touches the ground," otherwise, as long as he has contact with the monks from the five realms, Meng Zhou will be confident that his "footprints" can be fished out from this massive amount of information.

This is a tracking skill that only Meng Zhou can use. (End of chapter)
