Do not die

As early as when Meng Zhou completed the production of this small white ball using the knotting method and spiritual energy as the material, a series of changes happened to him.

All kinds of insights poured into his mind like flowing water.

If Meng Zhou hadn't already had rich experience in this matter, a special traffic accident might have occurred in his mind.

The first change he noticed was in the skill column. A new skill full of question marks appeared.

Its most eye-catching feature is that, like "Flesh and Blood Rebirth", it is also a fourth-level skill.

"Rebirth of Flesh and Blood" acted as a vanguard and took the lead in breaking through the third- to fourth-level barriers.

In addition to gaining a fourth-level pharmacist skill, Meng Zhou also gained another equally important gain.

All beginnings are hard.

On the other hand, as long as you get started, the subsequent steps will not be that difficult.

Meng Zhou would not be satisfied with only the fourth-level skill of "flesh and blood rebirth".

When he broke through to the ninth level of pill formation and completely stabilized his cultivation level, Meng Zhou began to figure out the next focus of his cultivation.

Unless there is a special need, or there is a third-level skill that particularly stands out to him, under normal circumstances, at this stage, he will no longer waste time and energy on practicing more third-level skills.

First, for him now, this will basically not bring any obvious addition to his strength, and it is meaningless to spend time and energy on it;

Second, although "flesh and blood rebirth" is still far away from reaching perfection, due to the lack of "materials" for cultivation, even if Meng Zhou was determined to continue working hard in this area, it would be somewhat difficult to continue;

Another and more important consideration.

For me, who has reached the ninth level of pill formation, the most important task is undoubtedly to prepare for the breakthrough of Nascent Soul.

Therefore, for the next training arrangements, it is not enough to simply consider whether there is a significant improvement in strength. This cannot even be regarded as the first factor.

The core consideration should be, "Whether this is conducive to the breakthrough from forming the elixir to the Nascent Soul."

Based on this consideration, Meng Zhou made the decision to "master more fourth-level skills and try to push more professions to the fourth level before the breakthrough in cultivation."

In all the inheritances and other anecdotal records that Meng Zhou came into contact with, the difficulty of forming a pill to break through the Nascent Soul was almost always described as being as difficult to cross as a natural chasm.

In comparison, the difficulty of breaking through from the Foundation Establishment Realm to the Core Formation Realm seems to be so small that it can be ignored.

Among them, Meng Zhou did not know whether there was any exaggeration.

After all, those who have real practical experience in this area are basically all in Xingxiu Palace.

The authenticity of the relevant information he learned from within the five domains is very questionable in this regard.

How much is believable, how much is exaggerated, or even made up out of thin air, I am afraid even the author himself cannot tell clearly.

However, Meng Zhou still has some understandings of his own based on his past experience.

Regardless of how difficult it is for the pill to break through the Nascent Soul, Meng Zhou believes that there are two factors that must exist.

One is the practitioner's psychological fear of difficulty, and the other is the practitioner's ignorance of the Nascent Soul Realm.

The two complement each other and reinforce each other.

Because of ignorance, we are afraid of difficulties;

And because of the fear of difficulties, too many conjectures and conjectures were added to the original lack of understanding. Therefore, it becomes more and more difficult to understand the true situation of Nascent Soul Realm, and even reaches a situation where people who want to know are at a loss and unable to make a choice, which in turn strengthens the fear of difficulty in their hearts.

Under such circumstances, mastering more fourth-level skills and allowing more professions to break through the fourth level before Nascent Soul is of great practical value.

This can effectively reduce the difficulty of forming a pill to break through to the Nascent Soul.

——The ancestors of the five sects also understand this truth, which is why they pursue the "Void God Crystal" so much.

After sorting out these things, Meng Zhou naturally regarded the "Knot Master" as a breakthrough.

On the one hand, there is a good start from "flesh and blood rebirth";

On the one hand, there is a reference channel provided by the Taoist Oath.

With these only two points of help, coupled with the excellent understanding given to him by the transparent Taoist body, and his active thinking that is not restricted by the existing thinking in this world, and can even be called "deviant", he is able to open up a new world. He has a unique talent for road and innovation.

In the end, Meng Zhou successfully created a second level four skill.

After observing Bai Zhi's demonstration, Meng Zhou named this new fourth-level skill "Wanxiang Pearl".

[Introduction to Wanxiang Pearl 500/100,000]

Following the changes in the skill bar, as a steady stream of new insights poured into his mind, Meng Zhou discovered it naturally.

The Knot Master, who had been at the third extreme level for a long time, naturally entered the fourth level.

The relevant information has changed from [Tier 3 Knot Master 10,000/10,000] to [Level 4 Knot Master 200/100,000]

The new insights that were still pouring into his mind made Meng Zhou understand that this leap from the third level to the fourth level was not just a simple "knot master".

Just like the "Spirit Master" profession actually includes "Spirit Controller", "Medicine Spirit Master", "Spirit Adjuster" and many other professions, as early as the first and second levels, Meng Zhou's Rope Knot Master was not just a rope master. Knot Master, but integrated the methods of alchemy and talisman formations under the framework of Rope Knot Master.

The reason why Meng Zhou was able to create the unique fourth-level skill "Wanxiangzhu" was not only because of his breakthrough in knotting techniques, but also because of his various understandings in the Dao of Instruments, Dao of Formations, Dao of Alchemy, and Dao of Talismans.

"Wanxiangzhu" is a masterpiece that integrates all the skills.

With the success of "Wanxiangzhu", not only did the Dao of knotting enter the fourth level, but the Dao of Alchemy, Instruments, Talismans and Formations also crossed the threshold from the third level to the fourth level.

When the surging perception finally stopped slowly, there was no change in strength, but Meng Zhou found that the world had become completely different the moment he opened his eyes again.

But Meng Zhou didn't have time to take a closer look at this "new world".

Because the changes brought by "Wanxiangzhu" were not over yet.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to break through the Dan formation, Meng Zhou obtained three incomplete Dao bodies.

They are "Tongming Dao Body", "Qinglian Sword Body" and "Five Elements Wanxiang Body".

At first, although all three were incomplete, compared with the first two, the completeness of "Five Elements Wanxiang Body" was obviously much higher.

However, in the completion of the three incomplete Dao bodies, the "Five Elements Universal Body" is undoubtedly the most "neglected".

First, the completeness of the "Tongming Dao Body" and the "Qinglian Sword Body" came later and surpassed the "Five Elements Universal Body". The former two were completed and completely completed one after another, but the completeness of the "Five Elements Universal Body" was always stuck at "99%" and has not made any further progress for many years.

This time, with the birth of the fourth-level "Universal Pearl", the "Five Elements Universal Body" finally took the last step and was completely complete.

"I don't know what changes this will bring to me."

The completeness of the "Tongming Dao Body" has comprehensively improved the power of the minor supernatural powers "Tongming Dao Heart" and "Tongming Moon Mirror".

The completeness of the "Qinglian Sword Body" also brought significant changes to Meng Zhou.

Meng Zhou carefully sorted it out and was quite disappointed.

The minor supernatural powers "Five Elements Escape" and "Universal Method" have certainly been greatly improved in power with the completion of the "Five Elements Universal Body".

But Meng Zhou did not feel any surprise.

"Perhaps, this is not a problem with the Five Elements Universal Body, but my problem." Meng Zhou reflected in his heart, is it that his "appetite" has become more and more picky? Is his "tolerance" for surprises becoming higher and higher? It took Meng Zhou a month to digest the harvest this time. In this month, the "Universal Pearl" gained 30,000 experience points, which not only completed most of the accumulation of the entry stage of this skill, but also made the knot master's attainments significantly improved. [Entry level 30,000/100,000 of Universal Pearl] [Fourth level knot master 10,000/100,000] Compared with the fourth-level skill "Rebirth of Flesh and Blood", the advantage of the "Universal Pearl" is that he can take materials from anywhere, regardless of spiritual materials or spiritual energy, as long as it is a spiritually full thing as a carrier. But the disadvantage is also obvious. With the convenience of taking materials from anywhere, Meng Zhou can only make two "celestial pearls" every day and gain 1,000 experience points. In a month, he almost put all his thoughts into it, and "only" gained 30,000 experience points. It is really too time-consuming and labor-intensive to make the "Wanxiang Pearl".

As his understanding of the "Wanxiang Pearl" becomes deeper and deeper, and his mastery becomes more and more proficient, Meng Zhou no longer has the joy of creating this method, but feels that he has dug a deep hole for himself.

Watching himself working on the "Wanxiang Pearl" day after day, Meng Zhou feels like he is watching a programmer in the cultivation world.

Its principle is so simple.

But the production process is so boring and tedious.

What is the difference between this and endlessly typing on the screen? !

Every day, while almost occupying the time, and ensuring that the mental strength can be fully restored the next day, only two "Wanxiang Pearls" can be made, and a thousand experience points can be gained.

In this short period of time, the labor with almost no end in sight, the closed-door cultivation has an extraordinary significance.

A month later, at the end of March.

After completing the production of the second Wanxiang Pearl of the day and accumulating the experience of Wanxiang Pearl to "entry 60,000/100,000", Meng Zhou almost can't wait to enter a deep state of meditation.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

At noon on April 10th, Meng Zhou ended his retreat.

[Cultivation progress +150, 9th level of Jindan 1365/10,000;

Experience of the True Picture of the Vast Sea and Bright Moon +10,800, Grandmaster 316,400/320,000]

"Next time, the True Picture of the Vast Sea and Bright Moon should be complete."

Meng Zhou was still looking forward to it.

May 20th.

After several months of hard practice, the "Wanxiang Pearl" finally completed the accumulation of the entry stage and entered the initial stage.

[Wanxiang Pearl Initial 0/200,000]

With this improvement, Meng Zhou's efficiency in making Wanxiang Pearl has improved slightly compared to before, and the mental effort consumed has also been reduced.

In order to maximize the experience of "Wanxiang Pearl" within a limited time, Meng Zhou broke the habit of practicing with one day as a small cycle.

This allows him to make one more "Wanxiang Pearl" every two days and gain 500 more experience points.

It may not seem like much, but if you extend the time to a month, you will get an extra 7,500 experience points, which is also very impressive.

Forty days later.

On June 30, when Meng Zhou finished the production of the "Wanxiang Pearl" and entered a deep state of meditation, the "Wanxiang Pearl" had already accumulated 50,000 points of experience in its initial stage of formation.

[Wanxiang Pearl initially reaches 50,000/200,000]

There were no twists and turns in the retreat this time. As he expected, the True Picture of the Bright Moon in the Vast Sea successfully completed the accumulation of the master's realm and advanced to perfection.

[The true picture of the bright moon in the vast sea is perfect]

What made him a little disappointed was that good things like the "Spring Water Sutra", which would completely clear out the accumulated negative energy in the body every time the state improved, did not happen.

Fortunately, no big changes have happened, but there are still small surprises.

This is also a change in line with Meng Zhou's expectations.

With the completion of the true picture of the bright moon in the vast sea, the "three-pole cycle of essence, energy and spirit" that was originally missing a foot no longer has any shortcomings.

At this point, the "three-pole cycle of essence, energy, and spirit" has reached the most ideal and perfect operating state of the three levels.

When Meng Zhou created the Black Turtle Bearing Tablet True Skill after the third-level Spring Water Sutra, and embedded it into the "Three Polar Cycles of Essence, Qi, and Spirit", the efficiency of practice increased by 1.5 times based on the single third-level Spring Water Sutra.

After these two practices are completed, the practice efficiency will be twice as high as that of a single Spring Water Sutra.

After Meng Zhou created the true picture of the bright moon in the vast sea and embedded it into the system of "three poles of energy, energy and spirit", the efficiency of practice became 2.5 times that of a single Spring Water Sutra.

Now, the true picture of the bright moon in the vast sea is complete, the "three-pole cycle of essence, energy and spirit" no longer has any shortcomings, and the practice efficiency has been increased from 2.5 times to three times.

This is reflected in the fact that Meng Zhou's cultivation progress during this retreat has changed from "+150" to "+180".

[Cultivation progress +180, nine levels of elixir formation 1545/10,000]

What Meng Zhou didn't realize was that the biggest change brought about by the completion of the Bright Moon True Picture in the Vast Sea was not reflected at this moment.

After finishing this retreat, Meng Zhou continued to study on the "Wanxiang Pearl".

Five months later, on November 20th, excluding the days of retreat and practice, Meng Zhou completed a full 120 days of hard training before he completed the accumulation of the initial stage of the "Wanxiang Pearl" and advanced to Xiaocheng. realm.

[Wanxiang Pearl Small Cheng 0/400,000]

This promotion brought Meng Zhou's understanding of the Wanxiang Pearl to a whole new level.

The previous Wanxiang pearls were said to be "all things", but in fact they still had many natural flaws.

Some of them were exposed in Bai Zhi's attempt, and there were many more that didn't appear in her attempt, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

This upgrade has made up for a lot of these flaws, and the Wanxiang Pearl has been further improved.

A side effect is that the difficulty of production has also increased. Therefore, the production efficiency of Wanxiang beads has not increased, and is still at the level of five every two days.

Forty days later, at the end of December, after Wanxiang Pearl once again accumulated 50,000 experience points, Meng Zhou began to prepare for the first retreat in the upcoming new year.

[Wanxiang Pearl Xiaocheng 50,000/400,000]

Initially, everything was business as usual.

But when the ten-day retreat period approached and Meng Zhou was about to end this retreat as before, something strange happened.

"How come you haven't reached your limit yet?" (End of Chapter)
