Chapter 316 Successful Spirit Gathering, a Ring of Ancient Demons
It takes a long time to gather the spiritual rings.
It can be as short as ten years or as long as more than a hundred years.
This is all possible.
Especially the first time to gather the spiritual ring, it takes even longer time.
According to Zhou You's understanding, it usually takes more than a hundred or even two hundred years for ordinary ancient demons to gather their spiritual rings for the first time.
If the bloodline is stronger, the time required will be relatively shorter.
For example, it took Gu Mo Ruoxuan more than twenty years to condense his first spiritual ring.
This is already considered an extremely terrifying existence among the ancient demon clan.
Although Zhou You's bloodline comes from Ruoxuan, in fact he has not fully obtained Ruoxuan's bloodline, and Zhou You doesn't know how much bloodline it is equivalent to Ruoxuan's own.
So according to normal circumstances, the time it takes to gather the spiritual rings around will only be longer than Ruoxuan.
It will definitely not be less than twenty years old.
Fortunately, condensing the spirit ring does not require constant concentration. It is just a process circulating in the body. It is a bit like cultivating the magic weapon of one's life. It increases over time. As long as the prototype of the spirit ring is condensed, from then on, it only needs to use the blood continuously. Just temper it.
When the time comes, it will naturally be able to condense it.
Therefore, there is no need to waste time condensing spiritual rings for the past twenty or thirty years when traveling around.
He can do other things.
After Zhou You explained for a while, he entered the training room and began to condense the spiritual rings.
The first step in condensing a spiritual ring is to refine the spirit.
What is spirit refining?
That is to use the secret method of the ancient demon clan to refine the special spiritual power in the more than ten kinds of materials, and then absorb it.
This process may seem simple, but it's actually not difficult at all.
Zhou You himself has experience in refining weapons, so refining them is quite simple. You just need to peel off the cocoon and peel off the spiritual power inside it bit by bit. The more spiritual power you get, the higher the success rate will be. .
So traveling around takes a relatively long time.
It took half a month to finally extract all the spiritual power.
Almost only one material can be refined in a day.
Fortunately everything went very smoothly.
After refining all the spiritual power of all the materials, the next step is to absorb all the spiritual power and then gather the spirits according to the secret method.
This is the second step in gathering spirit rings, gathering spirits.
Spirit gathering is the most critical step, and it is also a step that cannot be made wrong. Once a mistake is made, all the previous materials will be scrapped, and the materials must be collected again to refine the spirit again.
It can be said that Zhou You used the monks from the entire Daqi Kingdom to collect these materials.
It is almost impossible to collect a second copy.
Therefore, in the step of gathering spirits, you must succeed!
Only success is allowed, no failure is allowed.
Zhou You took a deep breath, adjusted his state to the end, and then began to inhale the spiritual power into his body one by one, running the secret method of the ancient demon clan, and began to condense the spiritual rings.
Gathering spirit means condensing all the spiritual power into a prototype spirit ring.
Once the prototype of the spiritual ring is successfully condensed, everything after that will be easy to handle. It will be almost foolproof, and it is absolutely impossible to make mistakes again.
More than a dozen different spiritual powers began to gather in Zhou You's body. Just as soon as they came into contact, those spiritual powers exploded to varying degrees. Zhou You vomited a mouthful of blood on the spot and his face became extremely pale.
Fortunately, the technique he practiced was an ancient wood-type technique, and his recovery ability was extremely fast, so this injury was not a serious problem.
In addition, he had Yimu's spiritual energy and could quickly recover from his injuries, so he continued to gather those spiritual powers without any pause.
…
Another half month passed in the blink of an eye.
Traveling around for the past half month has been almost like living in dire straits.
The difficulty of gathering spirits far exceeded his expectations.
If it weren't for Zhou You's powerful spiritual consciousness and the fact that he had practiced a lot of spells and had reached the pinnacle of control over spiritual power, otherwise, it would have been difficult to control those spiritual powers.
But even so, there were still one or two situations that were extremely dangerous.
Those spiritual powers were almost out of control, destroying Zhou You's strange meridians and hundreds of meridians. If Zhou You's Qi meridians had not been replaced by the roots of spiritual seeds, he would have become a useless person.
This shows how difficult and dangerous this gathering of spirits is.
And in the end, if Zhou You didn't have half a spiritual ring, it would probably be difficult to suppress the out-of-control spiritual power.
Fortunately, within half a month, those dozen kinds of spiritual powers finally became docile.
You can control them as you wish.
Another month passed in the blink of an eye.
The prototype of the spiritual ring in Zhou You's body slowly appeared.
Once the prototype of the spirit ring appears, it means that the traveling spirit gathering has been successful.
After a month and a half, Zhou You successfully condensed the prototype of the spiritual ring.
Although he is not yet a first-level ancient demon, it is only a matter of time before he becomes a first-level ancient demon.
Zhou You clearly felt that as soon as the prototype of the spirit ring appeared, the ancient demon bloodline in his body began to become active, and began to merge into the spirit ring at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This is the final process of condensing spiritual rings.
That is the third step, taking shape!
Zhou You took out a breath and muttered: "I don't know how long the last step will take. I remember that Ruoxuan took twenty-two years, and I... conservatively estimate that it will take thirty years."
Zhou You slowly stood up.
He knew that when the spiritual rings were successfully condensed, it would be the time to ascend to immortality.
With the strength of an ancient demon, he has full confidence in defeating the Bai family member and reaching the top of the road to immortality without using the "Dream God Record"!
This is traveling around.
Without exposing your trump card, try not to expose your trump card.
Zhou You came out of seclusion and saw Mu Yundi waiting for him outside.
He had also observed the situation in the cave in the past few days and knew that Mu Yundi would come almost every day, waiting for him to come out.
"Brother Zhou, are you out of seclusion so soon?"
Mu Yundi came over with some joy, looked at Zhou You carefully, and found that Zhou You's cultivation level was still in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. He couldn't help but feel a flash of disappointment in his eyes, but this disappointment was well concealed, and no one else noticed it.
In fact, Mu Yundi also understood.
How long did it take for Zhou You to advance to the middle stage of Yuanying? How could he advance to the late stage of Yuanying so quickly?
Zhou You shook his head slightly and said, "I'm not out of seclusion yet, I just have time to come out and have a look. In the next thirty years, I may not leave the cave."
After hearing Zhou You's words, Mu Yundi was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Zhou You to be in seclusion for thirty years!
Mu Yundi never expected this.
However, Mu Yundi was quite happy in his heart.
Because he wished that Zhou You could practice for a longer period of time and improve his cultivation level as soon as possible.
After all, the gap in strength between Zhou You now and Zhou You decades or even hundreds of years from now is definitely huge.
If Zhou You could cultivate to the Great Perfection of Nascent Soul, then he would have a higher success rate on the road to immortality.
This way.
Mu Yundi naturally hopes that Zhou You can go on the road to immortality in decades or even hundreds of years.
He could afford to wait for this long.
Mu Yundi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter if Brother Zhou is in seclusion for another three hundred years. The Imperial Court will support you in everything. If you want any resources, the Imperial Court will try to find them for you."
After a pause, Mu Yundi continued: "I sent people to look for some of the materials you mentioned before. Now I have obtained several types. Now I will give them to you."
With that said, Mu Yundi handed over the remaining materials to Zhou You.
This was something Zhou You never expected.
He took a deep look at Mu Yundi.
Although he knew that Mu Yun Di was just to make him more confident on the road to immortality, he still looked up to Mu Yun Di a little.
No wonder this guy was able to sit in the East Palace position not because of his status as the eldest son.
To find out, in the history of the Daqi Imperial Court, there were many cases where the eldest son was deposed and the concubine was established as the prince.
In the Imperial Court of Daqi, it doesn't mean that you can sit back and relax just because you are the eldest son.
If it fails to meet Emperor Qi's requirements, it will be useless in a matter of minutes.
Mu Yundi has been sitting in this position for more than a hundred years, and no one has ever been able to shake his position.
Zhou You said politely: "His Royal Highness is determined. Zhou will definitely live up to his expectations and do his best to reach the top of the road to immortality."
Mu Yundi laughed: "I believe Brother Zhou, it will definitely work!"
After a pause, Mu Yundi said again: "Then I won't disturb Brother Zhou's retreat. If Brother Zhou needs any resources, you can send a message to me. I will send them to you as soon as possible. If I don't have time, I can also Someone will be sent over."
Zhou You watched Mu Yundi leave, his eyes twinkling.
Xiao Zhuoran said on the side: "This Mu Yundi deserves to be the crown prince. Although his purpose is very clear, his work is indeed flawless."
Zhou You also nodded: "To be able to sit on the Diaoyutai for a hundred years in a place like the imperial palace is enough to show how extraordinary it is."
However, Zhou You didn’t pay too much attention to it.
For Zhou You, whether Mu Yun Di is good or not has little to do with him. After he reaches the top of the road to immortality, he will leave Daqi Kingdom without hesitation. In the future, whether Mu Yun Di ascends the throne, he will be Regardless of whether people replace him, it has nothing to do with him.
What Zhou You has to do now is to stay in the cave to practice, and then gather the spiritual rings to become an ancient demon.
He won't even leave the cave again.
Anyway, Mu Yundi has promised that no matter what resources he needs, the imperial court will send them to him unconditionally. In this case, Zhou You can naturally practice with peace of mind.
In fact, for Zhou You, he did not need much resources from the imperial court.
He is self-sufficient in elixirs and the like. When it comes to alchemy, Zhou You believes that there is no alchemist in the entire Apocalypse City who can compare with him.
Zhou You shook his head and looked at the storage bag in his hand. There were several materials in the storage bag. Those materials were all collected by Daqi Imperial Court during this period.
Although Zhou You has now successfully gathered spirits, these materials are still useful.
After all, traveling around can be used to enhance the spiritual ring.
Spirit rings are not static.
It can be continuously enhanced.
The method of enhancement, in addition to the nourishment of blood, is to collect these materials and continuously absorb the spiritual power in the materials, thereby achieving the effect of enhancing the spiritual ring.
Therefore, Zhou You will naturally not reject these materials.
Zhou You took out the transmission talisman and sent a message to Huo Chuanhai, telling him that he would be in seclusion for thirty years and contact him again after thirty years. If he came out of seclusion after thirty years, he would be on the road to immortality. when.
If he has not come out of seclusion after thirty years, it will continue until he comes out of seclusion.
…
As Zhou You's message fell into Huo Chuanhai's ears, Huo Chuanhai also understood that Zhou You had truly entered the preparation stage.
Thirty years of seclusion must be preparing for something extremely important.
It is even possible that this matter is related to whether Zhou You can successfully reach the top of the road to immortality.
Therefore, Huo Chuanhai did not spread the news.
at the same time.
The three-year period that Zhou You originally mentioned has gradually passed.
Three years later, I traveled there but there was no movement.
As for the big families and big forces in Apocalypse City, all their materials were missing, which caused all the families and big forces to start frantically pursuing this matter.
As they pursue, traitors appear one after another in their families and forces.
Moreover, these traitors were all very determined. Before they were found, they took elixirs and committed suicide. Even their souls collapsed. They could not get any useful information at all. As a result, when the big families and big forces found out about them, there were no clues. broken.
However, what is a bit shocking is that all these traitors to the big families and powerful forces are their top brass.
Participate in decision-making.
What are the first elders and second elders?
There are some supreme elders and the like.
Everyone’s identity is incredibly important.
Among them, the Chen family is the most terrifying.
Because the traitor of the Chen family turned out to be the head of their Chen family!
No one would have thought of it.
The head of the Chen family turned out to be a traitor!
He stole all the materials obtained by the Chen family, leaving the Chen family without even one piece of material.
This incident caused a great sensation throughout Tianqi City.
No one knows who planted these traitors, and no one knows where the traitors transported the materials. Maybe... even if they can guess it, they don't dare to think about it, and they don't dare to say it.
Because there is no evidence, so what if you guess it?
It’s not that you can’t do anything to the other party.
On the contrary, they have to endure great pressure.
Therefore, the entire Apocalypse City fell into relative silence because of this incident. As time went by, after ten years, this incident seemed to have disappeared, as if it had never happened.
However, everyone still remembers traveling around.
After all, regardless of whether those big families and powerful forces got seats at Zhou You, Zhou You still had to go to the road to immortality.
The road to immortality determines whether Daqi Kingdom can be promoted to a fifth-level immortality country.
After being promoted to the fifth-level Immortal Cultivation Kingdom, there is hope to enter the stage of becoming a god!
For the monks of the entire Daqi Kingdom, it does not matter whether there are traitors among the big families and powerful forces. What matters is whether the Daqi Kingdom can be promoted to a fifth-level immortal kingdom!
This is what they value most.
In this expectation, thirty-six years passed quietly.
Zhou You has disappeared from public view for thirty-six years!
But no one has forgotten to travel around!
There were even people standing guard outside the traveling cave for a long time, looking at the traveling cave in a daze.
