Chapter 494 Late Jindan Stage
Three years later, more than 90% of the Soul Devouring Fire Gu that Xiao Lin had used for experiments had completed their advancement.
This result made Xiao Lin quite satisfied. By feeding the Demon Transformation Grass, the time it took for the Soul Devouring Fire Gu to advance was shortened several times. He wanted to use the Five Elements Spiritual Grass to cultivate the Soul Devouring Fire Gu. It took almost twenty years from the ordinary level to the true level. In comparison, the effect of the Demon Transformation Grass was much better.
However, the Demon Transformation Grass was not propagated by seeds. It usually grows near the nests of some monsters. For example, it is easy to find green Demon Transformation Grass near the nests of some true monsters.
These Demon Transformation Grasses are not eaten by true monsters. Only when they advance to the red Demon Transformation Grass, the true monsters will be eager to devour them, so as to increase their own cultivation and the probability of advancement.
Therefore, the green Demon Transformation Grass is still easy to buy on the market, but the number of red Demon Transformation Grass is much less. After all, this kind of Demon Transformation Grass only grows near the nests of the emperor monsters.
As for the purple and black demon-transforming grass, they are extremely rare on the market. Even if they appear, they are usually taken away immediately to attract demon beasts into the traps set in advance.
However, for Xiao Lin, these are not a problem. As long as there is green demon-transforming grass, it will be fine. Therefore, during this period of time, as long as he goes to Lei Shi Xiancheng, he will basically buy up all the green demon-transforming grass on the market.
After thirty years of cultivation, Xiao Lin's cultivation has now reached the peak of the middle stage of the golden elixir, and he can start to try to break through the realm.
And a few years ago, Xiao Lin refined a furnace of soul-condensing pills with the four soul-reading grass he got, a total of six pills, and for Xiao Lin to break through the realm, he only needs to take one pill.
Therefore, those soul-reading grass seedlings were planted by Xiao Lin in the spirit wood space, and not all of them were refined into the finished soul-condensing pills.
As for the "Taixuan Daoyuan Lingtai Fenying Dafa", Xiao Lin has also understood it almost completely. After careful consideration, Xiao Lin decided to start practicing after he broke through to the late stage of the golden elixir.
Jiang Yingxue has been out for several years, and there is no news, but Xiao Lin is not worried about her. She left a Yuanshen lamp here and placed it in Xiao Lin's alchemy room. Now there is nothing wrong with the Yuanshen lamp, which also shows that Jiang Yingxue herself is safe and sound.
After spreading his spiritual consciousness and searching the entire Qinghu Island, Xiao Lin did not find anything unusual. After thinking for a while, he released the true-level soul-devouring fire poison in the beast ring and let them guard outside the cave.
In this way, his cave can be said to be impregnable, and he should be able to ensure safety when he retreats to break through.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin took out a Jiangling Pill, swallowed it, and began to practice the formula of "Qingluan Shengmie Yuhan Jue", and closed his eyes to practice.
A few days later, Xiao Lin opened his eyes, took out a Ninghun Pill and swallowed it, and closed his eyes again.
The door of the cave where Xiao Lin practiced was closed. During this period, Jiang Yingxue also came back once. The first thing she did was to pay respect to her master. After seeing the door of her master's cave closed, she chose to leave quietly.
She had gotten used to such things in the past twenty years. Now Jiang Yingxue had advanced to the middle stage of foundation building and was not far from the late stage of foundation building. After returning to the cave and practicing for a while, she left Qinghu Island again and went out for training.
The clouds and mists of Qinghu Mountain were still surrounding, with no signs of dispersing. Time passed quickly in this calmness. Two years passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the white clouds on Qinghu Mountain suddenly dispersed, which shocked the residents of Qinghu Island and made them think something had happened.
And from nowhere, gusts of wind blew and raged on the island. Fortunately, the gusts did not cause casualties to the residents on the island.
After three days of continuous wind, these gusts of wind suddenly disappeared, and white clouds gathered again on Qinghu Mountain, covering the entire mountain.
Seeing this scene, the residents of Qinghu Island finally felt relieved.
In the cave, Xiao Lin, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly had circles of dark green spiritual light halos appearing from his body, spreading out in all directions.
The dust on his body was also blown away, and then Xiao Lin opened his eyes, and two balls of divine light burst out, illuminating the entire dim secret room like daylight.
An astonishing spiritual pressure overflowed from Xiao Lin, and a satisfied smile appeared on Xiao Lin's face.
"Finally advanced to the late stage of Jindan." Xiao Lin took a deep breath and said to himself lightly.
After more than 20 years of cultivation, with the help of the Crimson Jade Pill, he finally raised his cultivation to the peak of the middle stage of Jindan, and then with the help of the Soul Condensing Pill, Xiao Lin spent another three years before breaking through to the late stage of Jindan.
Xiao Lin's "Qingluan Shengmie Yuhan Jue" also entered the third level. Compared with the middle stage of Jindan, the mana in his body has increased by at least several times, and the mana is also more condensed.
Feeling the mana flowing in his body, Xiao Lin felt an unprecedented power.
In the past twenty years, he not only refined the "Purple Thunder Star Shield", a set of mid-level magic weapons, but also refined three more Qingluan Ice Swords and successfully practiced the Ghost Hiding Technique.
Not only that, he also re-refined the nine-headed demon god obtained from the demon cultivator of the Six Dao Kui Demon Palace, and integrated the demon god in the skull obtained from Shi Jiujin.
This also became one of Xiao Lin's extremely sharp methods. The combination of many methods made Xiao Lin more confident. At this moment, he believed that even if he encountered a cultivator who had reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core, he could handle it with ease.
Relying on his own magic lightning technique and the magic light hundred-foot flash seal obtained by killing the mirage double-winged dragon, Xiao Lin naturally comprehended this intermediate spell. Now Xiao Lin, with these many methods, even if he encounters an ordinary Yuanying early stage cultivator, even if he cannot beat him, he is still somewhat confident of escaping.
After Xiao Lin broke through, he sat cross-legged on the cushion quietly, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
After advancing to the late Jindan stage, he still had several Soul Condensing Pills in his hand. Logically, he could continue to retreat and practice hard with the help of the Crimson Jade Pill. It might not be impossible for him to advance to the Great Perfection of the Jindan stage.
But when Xiao Lin broke through the bottleneck of the late Jindan stage, he found that when he used his own mana to break through the bottleneck, he actually produced many illusions and obstacles, which almost made Xiao Lin go crazy when he advanced to the late Jindan stage.
Although he resisted with his firm will, he was also scared. He had never encountered this situation when he broke through the middle Jindan stage.
It was because he took a Soul Condensing Pill that he barely survived this crisis.
However, this time was his luck, what about the next time?
Through this closed-door training, Xiao Lin felt that after entering the late Jindan stage, every breakthrough was not a simple process. When he broke through the bottleneck of the late stage, he had many illusions and obstacles. Either there was a flaw in his state of mind, or these illusions and obstacles were what he had to go through every time he advanced after the late Jindan stage.
But no matter which one it was, Xiao Lin had to figure it out. Otherwise, if he just kept practicing hard and got lost in the illusion when he broke through, he might really be doomed.
Another point is that Xiao Lin has almost comprehended the "Taixuan Daoyuan Lingtai Fenying Dafa", and it is time to start practicing.
And practicing this "Taixuan Daoyuan Lingtai Fenying Dafa" is to plant a spirit fetus in the body, and cultivate it through secret methods until it is cultivated into a Taoist Jindan. In the process of condensing the infant, it is also like the Jindan itself, the pill is broken and the infant is formed.
In this way, he can have two Yuanyings, which not only greatly increases his magical power, but also gives him an extra means to save his life. In the Qingluan Immortal Scripture, there is a secret magical power about the second Yuanying, which is said to be extremely powerful. However, due to the obscure words between the lines, Xiao Lin could not comprehend it after reading it for a long time.
Therefore, he can only give up temporarily and spend time to study it after he has cultivated the second Yuanying.
However, it is not an easy thing to practice this "Taixuan Dao Yuanlingtai Fenying Dafa". If he wants to practice this secret technique, the most urgent thing for Xiao Lin is to plant a spiritual fetus in his Dantian Qihai.
And this spiritual fetus needs a carrier, that is, the spirit bead. The so-called spirit bead is a jade bead with certain attributes. The attributes contained will also determine the attributes of the second Yuanying cultivated by Xiao Lin in the future.
This is also something Xiao Lin needs to consider carefully. Of course, it takes a lot of effort to find such a jade bead with attributes.
This is also the main reason why Xiao Lin decided to come out of retreat after careful consideration.
Of course, what Xiao Lin wants to do now is to continue to practice several intermediate spells he has practiced, such as the Magic Lightning Spell. Although Xiao Lin has practiced it to the Silent Level, he is still a long way from the Great Perfection.
If he can practice this spell to the Great Perfection, then Xiao Lin can escape calmly even if he encounters an early Nascent Soul cultivator, unless the other party has also practiced this Magic Lightning Spell, and it is at least at the Silent Level.
However, Xiao Lin also knows that it will take at least 20 to 30 years to practice these intermediate spells he has practiced to the Great Perfection.
So after comprehensive consideration, Xiao Lin decided to go out and travel. On the one hand, he was looking for the root cause of the many illusions and obstacles he encountered when he broke through the bottleneck of the late Jindan, and on the other hand, he was looking for spirit beads and practicing the "Taixuan Dao Yuanlingtai Fenying Dafa". Finally, he continued to improve the proficiency of several intermediate spells.
After making the decision, Xiao Lin sensed that Jiang Yingxue had not returned from her training, so he walked out of the cave, and on a piece of bluestone at the entrance of the cave, he pointed a finger of spiritual light, left some words on it, and briefly told about his travels.
As for the fairy egg that was still hatching, Xiao Lin was not worried. First, the fairy egg had been sacrificed by his blood prohibition technique, so even if others got it, it would be useless. Moreover, he had set up more than a dozen formations around the entire cave, and several of them were connected to the spiritual veins thousands of feet underground on Qinghu Island.
Even if a Yuanying cultivator came to attack, it would take a long time. Moreover, with such a big commotion, it would probably have alarmed the disciples of the Yushui Palace in Leishi Immortal City.
