Chapter 179: Done!
Studying the map in the jade slip, Li Chuyi finally knew where he was. This is the human world, but...
"Ziyuan, we are in Mobei!"
"Oh." Ziyuan nodded lightly, "Where is that?"
"Mobei!" Li Chuyi scratched his head, "You don't know?"
Looking at him expressionlessly, Ziyuan nodded as a matter of course.
"I followed you after I regained consciousness. I can't remember anything before, so how can I know where Mobei is."
Rolling his eyes, Li Chuyi sighed helplessly.
"Mobei, that's what Dayan calls the northern frontier, the northernmost part of the human world. This place doesn't belong to Dayan territory, the roots of both good and evil are here, and big fights often break out between the two sides, it's always chaotic!"
As he said, the little fat man smacked his lips, and suddenly said: "No wonder we encountered a big fight as soon as we landed. It seems that the two sides belong to the good and evil sides. I don't know what's wrong with them to fight so fiercely, even a cute child like me passing by was not spared, too cruel!"
Ignoring the shameless second half of his sentence, Ziyuan thought for a while, frowned and asked: "Is this place far from Taixu Palace?"
"Far? That's far? That's quite far! With our speed, we can't fly back to Taixu Palace even if we die!"
He reached out and took out a book, and the four big words "Qian Kun Bai Wu" were clearly written on it. Turning to a page in the middle, Li Chuyi pointed to a map on it and handed it to Ziyuan.
"See, see this small area above? This is Mobei. The Mobei grassland where we are now is this tiny dot above!"
Looking at the area on the map that is not even half the size of a fingernail, the four small words "Mobei grassland" are embedded in it. If you don't look carefully, you can hardly see it clearly. Zi Yuan couldn't help but look embarrassed.
I know that the human world is very large, but it was not until this time that I had a concrete feeling. This is just a map of the Mobei area. This endless grassland is only this small. If it is a map of the entire human world, I am afraid I can't even see it.
Seeing that Zi Yuan finally understood, Li Chuyi sighed helplessly.
According to the record of "Qian Kun Baiwu", Mobei is very large, but it is only one-fifth of Dayan. The Mobei grassland where they are is located in the north of the center of Mobei. If it were a mortal, they would never be able to get out of here in their lifetime. Even if it is a cultivator, according to the speed of the great power in the Crossing Tribulation Period, without the help of the Void Road and relying only on flying, it would take decades to reach the nearest Dayan border.
The Taixu Palace is located at the westernmost end of the human world, and is even farther away. Even if there are no dangerous obstacles on the way, it would be good for a cultivator in the Tribulation Period to fly there within a thousand years.
The human world is very large, and there are many areas that are not suitable for living. Even in the human world, the gathering places suitable for living are very far apart. On weekdays, except for the great powers who can break the void and walk on the void, if others want to move around, they must use the teleportation arrays placed in various parts of the human world.
However, although the teleportation array is convenient, it consumes a lot of energy every time it is activated. It is okay to travel short distances, but long-distance teleportation, especially the distance from Dayan to Tianmen Mountain, or from Mobei to Tianmen Mountain, the consumption is absolutely astronomical, which is difficult for ordinary cultivators to afford, and even some small and medium-sized families cannot afford it.
Therefore, ordinary people rarely leave their range of activities unless it is necessary. It's not that they don't want to go, but they can't afford it.
Thinking about the cost of going from Mobei to Tianmen Mountain, Li Chuyi had a toothache. Although he didn't know the exact number, he would faint even if he saw the number.
"We can only take it one step at a time." Li Chuyi threw a candied date into his mouth and chewed it hard, gritting his teeth and said, "Make money first! With money, you can travel all over the world, without money, you can't take a single step!"
Finally, after looking at the map on "The Universe and All Things", Li Chuyi closed his eyes and put the book away directly.
He didn't dare to read it any more, as it would make him feel sad.
He continued to study the information in the jade slips. When he saw one of the articles about the method of controlling the alchemy furnace, his eyes lit up and he showed ecstasy.
The method of controlling the furnace was exactly the method of controlling the giant alchemy furnace that he could only envy. He had vaguely guessed that there might be such a method in the jade slips before, and now he finally found it, and he almost jumped up with joy.
Repressing his excitement and excitement, Li Chuyi studied it carefully, but the more he read, the more he frowned. When he finished reading the whole article, his brows were deeply frowned, and his face was full of hesitation.
"It's really not that simple."
The things mentioned above were very clear, and he could understand them all. But the problem is that understanding does not mean that you can practice. This technique requires at least the Tribulation Stage to fully perform, and even the initial practice requires at least the Nascent Soul Stage. Thinking about his current cultivation level of the Core Forming Stage, and the distance from the Nascent Soul Stage to who knows when, Li Chuyi felt a toothache.
After studying for a long time without giving up, thinking about it for a long time, Li Chuyi finally sighed, his face full of helplessness.
With his cultivation level and experience, it is a foolish dream to want to modify the technique, and there is no possibility at all.
"But it's not that there is no way at all. I don't need to be able to control it, as long as I can put it away and take it away first!"
Thinking of this, Li Chuyi felt relieved.
The alchemy furnace is not an ordinary thing, and it is normal that he can't activate it with his current cultivation level. But he wants to take it away, and can't leave it for others to take advantage of, so things are much simpler. As long as the cultivation level of the Spirit Refining Stage is fully activated, the most basic retraction and release of the alchemy furnace can still be done.
Thinking of this, he looked at the Sanlian Yiqi Pill in his Dantian that had been refined for the most part.
After a battle, he recovered from his serious injuries and then stood up again. Now his cultivation in the late stage of the Refining Spirit is stable, but his blood and essence have not been replenished. Because of the Sanlian Yiqi Pill, the mana in his body has been extremely full. If he had not intentionally suppressed it, after all the pills were refined, his mana cultivation could even be forced all the way to the Refining Spirit Stage.
However, the Refining Spirit Stage not only looks at the richness of mana, but also the improvement of overall cultivation, which requires qualitative change.
The Refining Spirit Stage, as the name suggests, requires one to integrate one's soul into the mana, and reach a state of no self and no distinction between self and others.
Under the Refining Spirit Stage, no matter how rich the mana of a cultivator is, it can only be controlled by his own mind and the combination of exercises, which is equivalent to mobilizing it with the help of external forces. When the soul and the mana merge, the mana will be as flexible as one's own body. Not only will the speed of mobilization increase exponentially, but it will also allow one's soul to resonate with the spiritual energy of the world outside with the help of the mana.
After resonance, the spiritual energy of the world will be absorbed from the outside world. When the spiritual energy enters the body, it will be refined by the mana of the soul in the meridians, which will greatly speed up the transformation of the dantian and increase one's recovery ability. Similarly, in critical moments, forcibly absorbing the spiritual energy without refining it and using it directly will greatly reduce the burden on the body and meridians. This is also the fundamental reason why the cultivators in the refining stage can often use spells across levels.
The most important thing is that by resonating with the spiritual energy of the world outside, the spiritual energy will form a strange force field with the mana on the body surface, allowing the cultivator to fly in the air. If one only relies on his own mana to fly, even a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage will not be able to survive more than a hundred miles, and a cultivator in the Core Formation stage will probably fall down in a few breaths. This is not because their magic power is not strong, but the invisible force of the rules of heaven and earth restricts them, which is a taboo that cannot be broken.
With this strange force field, the cultivator only needs to pay a small part of the magic power to maintain it, and he can soar into the sky and travel around the world.
This is also the most attractive thing for Li Chuyi.
Since he was a child, he wanted to fly into the sky and fly freely. The temptation of the soul refining period is indescribable to Li Chuyi.
Thinking of himself flying in the blue sky, with a bun in his left hand and a chicken leg in his right hand, the little fat man couldn't help but urinate, and he wanted to finish the soul refining immediately.
But the meal must be eaten bite by bite, and the road must be walked step by step. Although the soul refining period is not difficult for him who has been prepared for a long time, it is not something that can be achieved overnight.
Hearing Li Chuyi's thoughts, Ziyuan frowned. She thought of the "grand occasion" when the little fat man formed the pill, and couldn't help looking at him with a worried face.
"Chuyi, did you know that there was a strange phenomenon when you formed the elixir?"
"Auspicious clouds fell from the sky?" Li Chuyi's face lit up. He didn't expect that there would be such a grand scene when he formed the elixir.
"A thunder tribulation fell from the sky." Ziyuan looked at him expressionlessly.
Li Chuyi was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed drastically.
If you ask him what he fears most, besides the Taoist priest, the thunder tribulation must be ranked first. He didn't know how he offended the God in his previous life, and he would be struck by lightning for anything he did.
Cursing the sky too loudly would be struck by lightning, and the death energy that appeared on his body for unknown reasons would also be struck by lightning. Even when he was a child, when he first practiced the exercises, the slow operation of the exercises would attract a black cloud. If it weren't for the Taoist priest, he would have turned into a ball of black charcoal long ago.
After listening to Ziyuan's description of the strange scene when he formed the elixir, Li Chuyi's face turned pale and blue.
He would enter the spirit refining stage sooner or later. Even if he didn't enter it today, he would definitely enter it someday. But the thunder tribulation that came out for a stroll for no reason also made him tremble with fear and headache. This time there was no Taoist priest, and there was no powerful existence like Taixu Palace to support him. If he really attracted the heavenly tribulation, he would probably die.
Looking at this cave that looked quite solid, thinking about the strange formation set up by the master of the Tribulation Period outside, and finally looking at the Demon-Subduing Mirror in his hand.
The Demon-Subduing Mirror was specially made for him by the Taoist priest. From the day he was given it to him when he was very young, the Taoist priest warned him not to leave his body for a moment. As he grew older, he gradually learned about the magical function of the Demon-Subduing Mirror. If he said that he was like a lightning rod, the function of the Demon-Subduing Mirror was the insulating layer that covered the lightning rod. As long as the Demon-Subduing Mirror was around, the Heavenly Tribulation would not appear if he did not take the initiative to provoke it.
Last time in the Fire Cloud Pit, he entrusted the Demon-Subduing Mirror to Ziyuan to seal it, and he stopped practicing his skills. The thunder immediately rolled down and almost killed him. It can be seen that his guess about the Demon-Subduing Mirror was not wrong at all.
According to Zi Yuan's description, when he was forming the elixir, the sky thunder appeared, and it was this demon-suppressing mirror that blocked the thunder tribulation and blasted it away in one fell swoop. It seems that this mirror can not only cover him, but also save his life under the sky thunder at a critical moment.
The Taoist's moves must be exquisite. If this demon-suppressing mirror can save him once, it can save him a second time. He has great confidence in this mirror, and even more confidence in the Taoist.
Thinking of this, Li Chuyi gritted his teeth fiercely.
Do it!
