Chapter 733: Unimaginable Speed of Cultivation, Late Bloomer (Monthly Vote Requested!)

Sang Jinghe left and came back soon.

When he came back, he also brought back the current situation of Fu Chaosheng.

The day of return is approaching, but the specific time is not yet known. Fu Chaosheng's business in Beihai still has many loose ends that need to be resolved one by one.

Especially on the side of the good and the devil. He used to act as a middleman to mediate the war, which was not as simple as having a meal and being a guest. It also involved a lot of cooperation between the Tianyuan Merchant Alliance and the good and the devil.

In fact, it can be seen from this that the Tianyuan Dao Sect's merchant alliance in Beihai is nominally governed by the four elders, but the elder Shen Wandou obviously has a higher status.

Shen Wandou does not need to travel around and work outside, he only needs to stay in the base camp of Shenyuan City to manage the overall situation.

Unlike Fu Chaosheng and the other two, they seldom have leisure time and walk around all day long.

The reason for this situation is not only as simple as the realm, but also related to the "family background" behind it.

The wealthy family is in decline, and its facade is only supported by Fu Chaosheng and the newly promoted Yuanying Fu Qinglan.

Even if the Shen family is not at the forefront of the so-called Thirty-sixth Family, there are other clan members who have been promoted to Nascent Soul for many years and are very powerful in their own right.

Because of this gap, it is reflected in the external appearance of Shen and Fu, one is leisurely and the other is busy.

It’s not that the capable work hard, but the weak work hard.

Luo Chen didn't want to explore the real situation. After learning that it would take some time for Fu Chaosheng to return, he suppressed the urgency in his heart and focused all his energy on his own practice.

It is too dangerous to use the power of thunder to refine the soul. If it is not done well, it will easily lead to mental and physical exhaustion, so he needs to control the speed.

I still take the Great Soul Pill on a monthly basis and focus mainly on my current practice.

Based on the progress bar on the attribute panel, he roughly judged the current training speed.

The result he got was extremely surprising to him.

Even if the Dzogchen "Celestial Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" is only useful, as long as he has the support of normal fourth-level spiritual veins, he will be able to advance to the next level, which is the second level of Nascent Soul, within ten years!

If assisted by the powerful Hong Yuan Dan, taking one pill every half month and slowly refining it, the speed could be increased to seven years, six years, or even half!

Such a result completely subverted the common sense of those realms before Nascent Soul.

Shouldn't it be more difficult to practice in the Nascent Soul realm?

Isn't the double life span limit that has skyrocketed out of thin air just to prepare for the long period of cultivation?

Luo Chen was extremely confused about this.

"Could it be caused by my fire spirit body?"

"But those who can achieve Yuanying in the world are those who have outstanding qualifications and perseverance. They want to advance to a higher level, but it takes decades or hundreds of years to calculate."

"Especially those who are older when they break through to the Nascent Soul stage will never be able to touch the threshold of the later Nascent Soul stage throughout their lives."

Regarding this problem, Luo Chen still couldn't figure it out after reading a lot of classics.

This made him understand that without the guidance of a famous teacher, no sect inheritance, and no communication with colleagues, even if he practices hard behind closed doors, he only knows what is happening but does not know why.

Therefore, Luo Chen had the idea of ​​communicating with fellow monks.

There are quite a lot of Yuanying Daoist people currently stranded in Shenyuan City, and many of them want to join the Tianyuan Dao Sect and take the opportunity to leave Beihai.

However, Luo Chen had no intention of getting close to these people, and he set his sights on Zhou Yunshen.

It's not that you bully people into being honest. For someone who can achieve the Nascent Soul Realm and create a big family, there is no such thing as "honest" at all.

Mainly because there is a "connection" between them.

Because of this complicated origin, Luo Chen took the initiative to ask for advice, which not only did not bore people, but also brought them closer to each other.

This is how people are, sometimes others really want you to ask them to do something.

After Zhou Yunshen simply settled the clan members, he also began to visit the Yuanying monks in Shenyuan City frequently. Faced with Luo Chen's invitation, he gladly went to the appointment.

"The daily practice of Yuanying monk?"

Facing the question raised by Luo Chen, Zhou Yunshen was quite surprised.

Luo Chen didn't shy away from it, and said calmly: "I know very little about these common-sense things as I am a casual cultivator and have no master's lineage. I didn't think so before, but the more I practice frequently, the more confused I feel. So, Please give me some pointers, fellow Taoist."

Zhou Yunshen hesitated for a moment, but looked at Luo Chen's thirsty eyes and smiled.

"Forget it, it's not really a core secret, it's just some experience."

After smiling, his expression turned solemn.

"Before that, please release the Nascent Soul Realm and try to contact me."

Luo Chen nodded, and with a thought, the eyes of the Nascent Soul in his body opened slightly, and his breath came out of Zifu, pulling in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

He did not add the method of destroying the void, but simply activated the Nascent Soul Realm with all his strength.

Suddenly, a large amount of fire-attribute spiritual energy from heaven and earth gathered together, forming a red cloud over Xiaoqiong Mountain, like a burning cloud.

At the same time, another two streams of blue and green spiritual energy rushed in, forming another Nascent Soul realm.

The two collided, and Huo Shaoyun was pushed backwards in just a moment.

From here, we can also see the huge gap between the two.

The two major realms were about to collapse. Luo Chen praised: "My Taoist friends are profound, Luo is far from my opponent!"

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yunshen was even more shocked.

In that direct collision, he could feel how solid the opponent's domain was and how huge the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was pulling.

Even if it is not as good as himself, it is far from what ordinary Yuanying first-level monks can achieve.

Of course, on the surface he didn't show much expression.

After taking back the Nascent Soul Domain, he asked: "Have you noticed anything special about it?"

Luo Chen was startled. What's the difference? Isn't it just a simple collision of fields?

But soon, he seemed to realize something.

In the direct collision just now, in addition to the free spiritual energy attracted between heaven and earth, there was also the own magic power of both monks.

But in his perception, although Zhou Yunshen's magic power was strong, there was no difference between him and him.

The reason why his own domain was defeated was actually the result of the combination of the monk's mana and the aura of heaven and earth.

Luo Chen hesitated and said: "Between you and me, a simple comparison of magic power doesn't seem that big?"

Zhou Yun smiled deeply, "As expected of a San cultivator, he is still able to break through the Nascent Soul stage. He has a high level of understanding and knows the smallest things."

"Fellow Taoist, please speak clearly!"

Zhou Yunshen put away his smile and said seriously: "In terms of pure mana comparison among monks of our generation, unless they are great monks in the late Nascent Soul stage, there is not much difference between them. That is why during a battle, different realms will cause significant differences. , simply because the gap in mana has doubled in the process of leveraging the external spiritual energy."

"The battle between Nascent Soul monks is no longer a simple exchange of magic weapons, fists and kicks, but focuses on leveraging the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

"Whether it is the Nascent Soul realm or a real weapon that can communicate with the spiritual energy of the outside world, they are all manifestations of this method."

Luo Chen frowned and thought carefully about what the other party said.

If he understood it with his usual quantitative thinking, it should be roughly one, two, three, four, five, six, to deal with the amount of mana at each level of Nascent Soul.

There is indeed not much difference between one and two, even if it is one and five, or one and six, they are all within the normal range.

But when it comes to combat, simple addition and subtraction cannot be used to compare.

The mana level of one, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that can be leveraged, are basically only one.

Ke Er's mana level, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that can be leveraged, are at least two, or even three or four, or even more.

In this comprehensive situation, one times one will be formed, which is less than two times two and two times three.

If the realm span is increased even further, it will form one times one, which is far smaller than five times five, five times six, seven eight, and so on.

This is also the reason why, when he didn't use the method of melting the void just now, the domain collision was completely no match for Zhou Yunshen.

Extrapolating from this, when he encountered the Blood Nightmare Demon Luo and even the Sky-Splitting Lord, he was actually at a disadvantage in his field. He relied entirely on the self-enlightened secret technique of Melting the Void to even out the gap.

Following this train of thought, Luo Chen asked a few more questions.

"There is no absolute mana gap before the late Nascent Soul. The real gap is reflected in leveraging the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?"

"Yes."

"Is there any way to reduce this gap?"

"Of course there are, high-level spells, innate magical powers, even secret arts, physical fitness, and real weapons that we commonly use. As for the specific situation, it varies from person to person."

"I would like to ask, was that your full strength just now?"

"Haha, I'm getting old, so if I use my full strength, my muscles and bones will be strained. Besides, don't you have some reservations as a Sanren?"

The extended topic ends here.

Luo Chen returned to the original topic, but became even more confused.

"The most basic thing for our monks to improve their realm is to increase their mana. Since there is not much difference in mana between each realm, why do Nascent Soul monks' training time always count in hundreds of years per small realm?"

Zhou Yunshen pointed to the sky and said matter-of-factly: "The higher the realm, the stronger the magic power, and the more spiritual energy of heaven and earth can be leveraged. But the more spiritual energy is leveraged, the greater the backlash, and the easier it is for the monk Nascent Soul to lose himself and be assimilated by heaven and earth. . Therefore, the more brave and diligent our monks are, the more cautious we must be, and we must always sort out our magic power and not tolerate any negligence."

"Isn't there still a Zifu barrier?"

"Haha, fellow Taoist, don't you know that the Zifu barrier originates from the evolution of spiritual roots?"

Luo Chen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

Human beings need to have spiritual roots to cultivate immortality, but spiritual roots are just a general term, with three parts in themselves.

One is on the tip of the tongue, one is in the Dantian, and the other is in the Jingfang Palace.

The former affects the sensitivity of sensing external spiritual energy, as well as the absorption efficiency, etc. There are people in the world who are lame and have broken legs and limbs, but there are very few high-level monks who have severed their tongues.

The latter is not so critical, as long as the Yuanyang/Yuanyin before foundation building is not lost.

The most important thing is the Dantian.

As the realm gets higher and higher, the Dantian will continue to change, from initially opening up the Dantian, to turning the Dantian into the sea, and finally deriving the Zifu.

Therefore, after serious calculation, Zifu is indeed a derivative of spiritual roots!

Zhou Yunshen talked about the most basic things, and his reasoning was simple and simple.

"The fewer spiritual roots, the easier it is to accurately perceive the corresponding spiritual energy attributes, the easier it is to absorb, and the faster the cultivation speed will naturally be."

"So, a monk with a single spiritual root called Heavenly Spiritual Root is called the darling of heaven and earth."

"But that's only before the Nascent Soul realm!"

"After the Nascent Soul, the spiritual roots evolved into the Zifu. The rarer the number, the smaller the Zifu, and the thinner the barriers. It seems to be closer to the world, but how can we dare to completely integrate into the world?"

Zhou Yunshen looked at Luo Chen with a smile and asked, "You should have heard of the most widely circulated rumor in the world of immortal cultivation, the speed of cultivation of Tianlinggen monks."

Without thinking, Luo Chen said, "Ten years to build a foundation, a hundred years to form a pill, two hundred years to form a baby, five hundred years to... transform into a god."

After speaking, his tone gradually became hesitant, but there was a feeling of enlightenment in his brain.

Combined with the simple exchanges with Langya Zhenren during the previous few days of traveling together, the problem that puzzled him for many days was solved in an instant.

Zhou Yunshen didn't know that Luo Chen had already understood, and was still giving a simple explanation.

"Those with a single spiritual root have a huge advantage in the early stage. Even if they have a little ups and downs in their cultivation, their lifespan when they form a baby is only about 300 years."

"At such a young age, there is plenty of time before the limit of a thousand years of lifespan."

"However, it takes a full 500 years from the Nascent Soul stage to the Spiritualization stage!"

"The obstacle is that the purple mansion barrier derived by the heavenly spiritual root cultivator is too thin, so they dare not do that brave and diligent thing at all!"

"Even at this level, they dare not take too much cultivation elixir. Because the elixir poison will destroy the purple mansion barrier, making the thatched house, which is not strong to begin with, leak everywhere, and the Nascent Soul has no shelter."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yunshen couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

The world is fair, and the avenue treats everyone equally.

The more convenience you get in the early stage, the more obstacles you will encounter later.

If you encounter many difficulties at the beginning of your cultivation, then when you reach a higher level, you will be able to see the moon after the clouds have cleared, and you will have a smooth journey.

His aptitude is not bad. In terms of spiritual roots, he is also a double spiritual root, so he can form a fetus at the age of 400.

But in the next 400 years, he was walking on thin ice. His fetus sank and lost himself, and he was trapped in the fourth level of the fetus for many years.

This is also one of the reasons why the outside world believes that he is only at the fourth level of the fetus.

Later, even if he broke through the barrier, he only improved two small realms.

Now he is 800 years old. He wants to rely on the remaining two or three hundred years to break through the late stage of the fetus and impact the transformation of the spirit...

Zhou Yunshen looked at Luo Chen with a wry smile. He could feel that he was young, and he also knew that he was only in the middle stage of the golden elixir when he met the Ten Thousand Immortals.

He was so young and advanced to the fetus so quickly. I think he had a single spiritual root of fire attribute.

In the past, he would have thought he was a genius of the sect and a pillar of the family.

But now, I can only feel a little sad for him.

After passing the most difficult level, I found that there are still mountains ahead. I am afraid that I am extremely confused and desperate.

Today, I took the initiative to seek him out for help. The reason is here!

Feeling Zhou Yunshen's compassionate eyes, Luo Chen blinked, but did not explain anything, but discussed other issues.

"Detaining spirits and sending generals, enslaving spirits?"

"I really know a thing or two about this."

"Yu Ling Zhenren of Wuzhong Valley is my good friend. His Taoist name is Yu Ling, which is enough to explain everything."

"He told me some tips before. After I explored them, I integrated them into the blood coral formation of the Coral Sea, and the effect was extraordinary."

"I can tell you one or two, but these tips vary from person to person. If you want to use them, you need to consider them."

Luo Chen didn't expect that when he asked casually, the other party really gave him a little surprise.

Recently, he has been studying puppetry, and how to control the powerful spirits in the puppets has made him a little confused.

The tips of Yuling Zhenren shared by Zhou Yunshen gave him a lot of inspiration.

After the exchange, Luo Chen personally saw him off.

The two walked down Xiaoqiong Mountain.

Before leaving, Luo Chen suddenly asked: "Daoyou Zhou, where are you going in the future?"

"Future?"

Zhou Yunshen's old face was a little confused, and then he said firmly: "I have to find a way out for my Zhou family descendants. I plan to go far away to Zhongzhou and worship at the Tiandi Peak of Dao Sect. You should also plan this, and then we can support each other. After all, Zhongzhou seems to absorb the world's strong, but it is very exclusive. If we don't keep warm together, we may become consumables."

Luo Chen smiled. No wonder the other party knew everything before.

Repaying the Black King's rescue is one thing, and the shallow experience he passed on is the second. The real intention is to make friends with him so that they can work together in the future.

Although he had no plans to stay in Zhongzhou for a long time, it would be safer to work with someone who knew him well.

In this case, he should return the favor.

Luo Chen flicked his wrist and handed over a storage bag.

"What is this?"

Zhou Yunshen was puzzled and did not take the storage bag.

Luo Chen smiled and said, "There are three low-grade defensive magic weapons inside, some of which I made myself, and some of which I got by accident. I heard that Zhou's heroes suffered heavy losses in the battle in the Coral Sea. These things are my gifts to the younger generation for self-defense."

Zhou Yunshen hesitated, "No merit, no reward. Daoist friend, this gift is a bit..."

"Why do you say it's useless? The previous exchange was enough to save me a lot of detours. I feel a little embarrassed about these three low-grade magic weapons that are useless to me. What's more,..."

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "Back then, your Zhou family sent me a batch of medicinal materials to help me refine pills. At that time, I promised to tailor-make defensive magic weapons for your Zhou family's newly promoted golden elixir. Unfortunately, I fled to the Monster Sea and never fulfilled this promise. Now, it's just a small compensation. I hope Daoist friend, don't despise it."

Having said this, Zhou Yunshen stopped being shy.

It's just three magic weapons, it's really not that valuable.

But the magic weapon with defensive attributes is indeed what the descendants of his Zhou family lack now.

There are really few people left. If they are damaged, he will not be able to bear it at his age.

"In this case, I will be disrespectful to refuse it."

Zhou Yunshen took the storage bag with a smile, and then bowed and said goodbye.

After he left, Luo Chen still had a smile on his face, and did not use his magic power, but walked slowly along the mountain path.

His confusion was simple. The answer had actually been given by Langya Zhenren a long time ago, but it was too general, causing him to be blinded by it.

With Zhou Yunshen, a Yuanying with many years of experience, sorting it out, the problem was solved instantly.

"My purple mansion barrier seems to be formed by a single fire spiritual root, but it is actually formed by the five elements spiritual roots."

"No!"

"My spiritual root has been improved by the Soul-shaping Holy Spring in the Mingzhaotian Dan Palace, and it is of the highest quality."

"The purple mansion derived from this is unmatched in the world."

"With the protection of this purple mansion, when practicing, I don't have to worry about the influence of heaven and earth on me. At the same time, the body of the fire spirit guarantees my perfect absorption of the fire attribute spiritual energy, so I can have such a fast practice speed."

"When the proficiency of Hongyuan Dan is improved, and I can refine the middle-grade or even high-grade Hongyuan Dan, my practice speed can be greatly increased again!"

"Haha, I have been trapped in low qualifications all my life and have wasted countless resources. But I didn't expect that after I succeeded in the Nascent Soul stage, I would become a so-called genius qualification. It's really amazing."

Luo Chen was in a very good mood.

After returning to the mountain, the progress of studying puppetry was greatly improved.

A month later, Luo Chen, whose state had reached the peak, took out the Hunyuan Ding.

With a thought, his spiritual consciousness locked onto the object in the cauldron!
