Chapter 1854 Spiritual Stone Cultivation
There was no need for the sloppy Taoist to explain. Qingyang and the One-horned Ghost King knew that their own safety was the most important thing for this operation. Whether facing the person behind the altar or the process of transmission, it was extremely dangerous. If you were not careful, you might lose your life. You must have more means of protection and life-saving.
The sloppy Taoist took all the things away, and Qingyang and the One-horned Ghost King were also happy to be idle. They only needed to arrange the Ten Kings Hall and make sufficient preparations, and then they could act ten years later.
As for other details, there was no need to consider them now. It would not be too late to discuss it when all the people gathered together when the Divine Transformation Cultivators gathered ten years later. After the general framework was set, the three of them did not say much about this matter, but focused their minds on tasting wine. They had a great time drinking wine.
The level of the spirit wine was too high, Qingyang didn't dare to drink too much. In the end, the sloppy Taoist drank half of the wine, the One-horned Ghost King drank one-third, and Qingyang only drank one-sixth of the remaining wine. Even so, Qingyang was drunk and it took him a long time to refine the energy in the spirit wine. When you meet a good friend, you can drink a thousand cups. The other two also drank until their eyes were red and their steps were staggering. They wanted to sing a song on the spot to express their joy.
After drinking, the sloppy Taoist said goodbye and left, and the One-horned City gradually returned to its former tranquility.
Qingyang actually knew more than one teleportation array. There were two in the secret place of Jiuzhou Continent, one large and one small. Young Master Lingxu used the large teleportation array to escape, and Qingyang was also forcibly sent to the Demon Spirit Realm by the small teleportation array. The reason why Qingyang didn't tell others was that he had some selfish motives. He was worried that after telling these Divine Transformation cultivators, they would have another choice and would not help him save Yu Mengmiao. In addition, the teleportation array was not safe. I remember that when Young Master Lingxu was teleported away, there were faint screams and explosions, and even a bloody smell. It was hard to say whether he could reach other worlds in the end. If he could successfully reach other worlds this time, then the teleportation array in the secret place of Jiuzhou Continent would not be needed. If he failed, it would not be too late to tell others.
After sending away the sloppy Taoist priest, Qingyang started to practice intensively. Ten years later, he would go to the Yin-Yang Realm with everyone to rescue Yu Mengmiao. He would have to face the terrifying bloody ghost face mentioned by the Thousand-Faced Buddha. As the saying goes, sharpening a spear before a battle is not quick, and a higher strength can increase the chance of winning. Therefore, Qingyang took the method he used in the Fallen Ghost Abyss during this retreat, using spirit stones to quickly improve his cultivation.
A few years ago, when he was in the Ten Thousand Spirits Secret Realm, Qingyang got a large number of spirit stones but had not had time to use them. It is roughly estimated that there are tens of millions of them, which are just in use now.
In the secret room, Qingyang took out 100,000 spirit stones at a time, arranged them into a spirit-inducing formation according to certain rules, and then used special skills to guide the spiritual energy in the spirit stones into the body, which was refined into true essence and stored in the Dantian Yuanying, slowly increasing his cultivation.
The methods of using spirit stones and refining pills to improve cultivation are similar. The spiritual energy in spirit stones is purer, and it is more convenient and quick to refine. There are almost no impurities that need to be discharged from the body. In addition, the speed at which spirit stones provide spiritual power is faster, so the efficiency of using spirit stones for cultivation is higher.
However, there are also disadvantages. First of all, it is a test for the meridians of the cultivators. They need to be able to withstand a large amount of spiritual power passing through, just like a large amount of flood passing through a ditch. If they can withstand it, it's fine. If they can't withstand it, there is a risk of dam collapse. In addition, the utilization rate of spirit stones in such cultivation is relatively low, and spiritual power is seriously wasted when used. It is not cost-effective. The same spirit stones can be exchanged for pills, and the effect can be several times more. Most people dare not be so extravagant unless they have to.
A month later, the spiritual power in the spirit stones was all used up, and the spirit stones on the ground all turned into a pile of useless powder. Qingyang cleaned up the powder and threw it into the Drunken Immortal Gourd, then took out 100,000 spirit stones, arranged them in the previous position and started practicing again.
It was too extravagant to consume 100,000 spirit stones in a month. Many Yuanying cultivators’ entire fortunes were not enough for a few years, but this was not a problem for Qingyang, who had so many spirit stones? The effect of practice was also very obvious, and Qingyang could clearly feel that his cultivation was improving rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, more than eight years had passed, and Qingyang had consumed a full 10 million spirit stones. His cultivation had been upgraded to the eighth level of Yuanying a year ago. The improvement of cultivation was accompanied by an increase in strength. If he met the Thousand Faces Buddha now, Qingyang felt that he could easily defeat the opponent.
In the past few years, there has not been much change in the Drunken Immortal Gourd, that is, the Wannianhong and the grapevine have grown taller, and the peaches and gourds have also grown a little bit, but they seem to be far from maturity and cannot be used in a short time. The number of alcoholic bees is greater than before, but for the entire population, the number is just a number, and it is only effective when helping the alcoholic queen bee to arrange the pollen maze.
Now the strength of the Iron Arm Monkey and the alcoholic queen bee is still equivalent to the fourth level of the Nascent Soul, and the gap between them and Qingyang is getting bigger and bigger, but there is nothing to be done about it. In recent years, Qingyang has used the God-Pregnant Fruit, the Spiritual Infant Fruit, the Blood Demon Gu, and the Spirit Stone to improve his cultivation. The Iron Arm Monkey and the Alcoholic Queen Bee do not have this opportunity, so it is normal to be pulled apart.
Unlike Qingyang's retreat and meditation, the One-Horned Ghost King has been very busy in recent years. First of all, it is the arrangement of the Ten Kings Hall. This is his base camp. If he does not come in the future, it will be fine. What if he returns in the future and the Ten Kings Hall is occupied by others, won't it be a hassle again?
Fortunately, after the reorganization of the One-horned Ghost King in recent years, the Ten Kings Hall has been integrated into a powerful organization. It does not need to spend much effort. Just support the Hundred Charming Ghost Kings. The Long Eyebrow Ghost King, the Big Belly Ghost King, and the Bag Ghost King have a short lifespan. The Ten Thousand Ghost Kings, the Yin Yang Ghost King, the Green Wing Ghost King, and the Yellow Spring Ghost King do not have a deep foundation. The Thousand Charming Ghost King is one of them, so no one dares to object.
After dealing with the affairs of the Ten Kings Hall, the One-horned Ghost King still needs to prepare things for going to the Yin Yang Realm. Unfortunately, he spent a lot of energy and did not gain much. The Divine Transformation Cultivator is already the top existence in this world, and there are very few of them. It is very difficult to find things that are suitable for the Divine Transformation Cultivator. Even if there are, other Divine Transformation Cultivators have to keep them to save their lives. Who will sell them to others? It seems that I can only try when the Divine Transformation Cultivators gather to see if I can buy a few suitable things.
In the past few years, the One-Horned Ghost King has also spent a lot of time practicing, but the effect is very poor. The improvement is not as good as the last time he drank with Qingyang and the sloppy Taoist, when he drank one third of the jar of spirit wine. It seems that the rumors are true. It is too difficult for a Jindan cultivator to improve his cultivation. Leaving this world is the only way.
