Chapter 232: Spiritual Dilemma
In Chu Chen's opinion, a 10% success rate is not much different from a 0% success rate.
If you break through rashly, there is only one possibility of failure.
Pill formation is not as good as foundation building. If you break through the foundation building stage, you still have the foundation building pill to protect your heart. Even if you fail to break through, you have a high chance of saving your life.
Breaking through the golden elixir stage is different. For monks to form an elixir, they need to survive a series of tribulations.
Golden Pill Thunder Tribulation!
Only by surviving the golden elixir thunder tribulation can one successfully break through the golden elixir stage.
If you cannot survive the Jindan Thunder Tribulation, there is a high probability that you will fall under the Thunder Tribulation.
Even if you are lucky enough and survive by chance, the end will be more miserable than the failure of foundation building, and you will probably become a useless person who has lost all your cultivation.
Yes.
He would not easily try to form a pill before he was completely sure.
Not to mention anything else, you must at least wait until you break through the fake elixir realm, refine the Mysterious Breaking Spirit Pill, and be prepared to deal with the many methods of the golden elixir thunder tribulation before trying to break through.
"There is no rush for the Broken Mysterious Spirit Pill. We have to wait until the Qingxuan Vine matures before we can refine it. However, it is time to prepare for the condensation of the fake pill."
The risk of forming elixirs is too high, and you need to be careful when condensing fake elixirs.
In the final analysis, Chu Chen has no inheritance or experience in this area, so he can only slowly explore everything by himself.
Fortunately, there is a dream world where he can keep trying and accumulate experience. To a certain extent, this is better than the experience recorded within sects such as Yunshui Sect.
Most of the experiences circulated within the Yunshui Sect are the experiences of previous monks in condensing fake elixirs, and may not be applicable to all younger disciples. They can be learned from, but cannot be completely applied.
After all, this is the experience of predecessors, and it may not apply to you.
However, Chu Chen's experience in condensing fake elixirs gained from practicing in the dream world is completely his own, and he will not have any scruples in this regard.
"The Soul Seizing Scripture has reached the completion of the spiritual blood, and the blood in the whole body has been refined. It has reached the limit of the foundation building stage. The matter of condensing the Tao body needs to be postponed."
Chu Chen has a very clear understanding of his future path and has no plans to condense his Tao body for the time being.
Thanks to the fact that he had practiced the Soul-Seizing Body Training Sutra to the highest level, his physique became extremely suitable for the Soul-Seizing Sutra, and he practiced the Soul-Seizing Sutra extremely quickly.
All along, the spiritual cultivation process of Seizing Soul Scripture is the fastest, and it is not restricted by the spiritual energy in the cave.
As long as there are enough elixirs and elixirs to swallow them up, the Soul Seizing Manual can break through quickly.
However, condensing the Tao body requires the assistance of a large number of third-grade elixirs and elixirs.
Chu Chen did not have third-grade elixirs in his hand, and the only elixir of third-grade or above was the Qingxuan Vine.
The Qing Xuanteng is related to the refining of the Mysterious Spirit Pill, and spiritual wisdom has been born. If he accepts him as his master, he will naturally not swallow the Qing Xuanteng and use it to practice the Soul Seizing Scripture.
Moreover, even if Chu Chen had third-grade or above elixirs and elixirs in his hands, he would not try to condense the Tao body.
Condensing fake elixirs has many restrictions.
Only when the monk's spirit, energy and spirit have reached the limit of foundation building can he try to condense the fake elixir.
If any one of the three components of essence, energy, and spirit is too weak or too strong, it will be impossible to successfully condense the false elixir.
Once Chu Chen condenses his Tao body and his physical strength transcends the barriers of the foundation building stage and overwhelms his magic power and spiritual power, he will lose the opportunity to condense the fake elixir.
After condensing the fake elixir, breaking through the golden elixir can increase the chance of forming an elixir by 30%. It is impossible for Chu Chen to give up the 30% chance of forming an elixir.
"Taiyi's spiritual cultivation technique has broken through the third level, and the power of his spiritual thoughts has reached the limit of the foundation stage. In a single thought, it can cover a radius of three hundred feet."
Because he practiced the Taiyi Soul Cultivation Technique and possesses the magical power of marrying dreams, Chu Chen often constructs a dream world, and the power of his spiritual thoughts increases at a particularly rapid rate, second only to the improvement of the body refining realm.
In the tenth year after the body refining realm reached the limit of the foundation building period, the power of spiritual thoughts also reached the limit of the foundation building period.
"Of the three, essence, energy and spirit, only the magic power has not reached the limit of the foundation building stage, but the spiritual energy in this cave can no longer support me to continue my practice."
Chu Chen's eyes were condensed.
The spiritual vein under this cave is just a top-notch small spiritual vein. Combined with the spiritual gathering array he set up and the effect of the Qingtian Spirit Sensing Realm to gather spiritual energy, it can reach the concentration of spiritual energy of a medium-sized spiritual vein.
After breaking through to the late stage of foundation building, the concentration of spiritual energy in the cave could only barely maintain Chu Chen's cultivation level, and could no longer support his cultivation.
If he had not refined enough Yuan-increasing pills, Chu Chen would not have been able to break through to the peak of foundation building just by relying on the aura of the cave.
When he reached the peak of foundation building, the spiritual energy of the cave completely lost its effect on him.
"If you continue to stay in this cave, you won't be able to increase your magic power, even if you have the Yuan-Zeng Dan."
Chu Chen held his hand in the air, and countless spiritual energy poured into his palm, forming a mist of spiritual energy.
A monk's practice is inseparable from spiritual energy. Without enough spiritual energy, it will not be easy to achieve a breakthrough in cultivation, or even to maintain it.
With his cultivation at the peak of foundation building, if he lets go, the spiritual veins under this cave will be sucked dry by him in a few years, leaving no spiritual energy left.
At most, this can increase Chu Chen's mana, which is far from reaching the limit of the foundation building period.
"If you want to cultivate your magic power to the limit of the foundation building stage, you must find a retreat place with abundant spiritual energy, and at least a medium-sized spiritual vein must exist."
"Continue to stay in Canglan Sea, or return to Qingzhou?"
Chu Chen's mind was spinning and he was making calculations.
Both options have their own benefits. Staying in Canglan Sea can keep you away from the turmoil in Qingzhou. There are almost no strong people in Canglan Sea who can pose a threat to him.
When you return to Qingzhou, you can wait for an opportunity to join the Yunshui Sect, exchange for the formation inheritance of level 2 or above, and search for the experience of forming pills recorded in the Yunshui Sect.
Chu Chen didn't care about the experience of condensing fake pills in Yunshui Sect, but he had to care about the experience of forming pills.
After all.
To break through the Jindan stage, one must go through the baptism of Jindan thunder tribulation.
His understanding of Jindan thunder tribulation is not to say that he knows nothing, but it is not much different.
Qianyuan Gong and other skills mentioned Jindan thunder tribulation, but they were just one or two simple words. Chu Chen didn't know the specific power of Jindan thunder tribulation.
As for using the dream world to gain experience in forming pills, don't even think about it.
He had never seen Jindan thunder tribulation, so it was impossible for him to evolve Jindan thunder tribulation in the dream world.
"I just broke through not long ago, and I haven't stabilized my cultivation yet. I'm not in a hurry to make a choice."
Chu Chen was not anxious. There were really many things he could do at present.
Stabilizing cultivation was one of them. He could also practice wind and thunder body protection, Zhuling Thorn and other foundation-building spells.
Limited by the concentration of spiritual energy in the cave, he couldn't practice Qianyuan Gong to improve his own magic power, but he could still practice wind and thunder body protection and other foundation-building spells.
In the past forty years, Chu Chen has put more energy into practicing Qianyuan Gong, Duoling Zhenjing, and comprehending alchemy, refining, talismans, and nurturing Hanli robes.
He has basically no time to practice the foundation-building spells such as Fenglei Bodyguard and Zhuling Thorn, and they are still at the small success stage.
The Xiantian Yiqi Sword Art also stopped at the peak of the second level and failed to break through the third level.
Chu Chen plans to practice Fenglei Bodyguard and Zhuling Thorn to the perfection level, and then improve the Xiantian Yiqi Sword Art to the peak of the third level, reaching the point where there is no more progress, and then consider where to go.
By then, his combat power will basically reach the limit that can be achieved at this stage.
No matter what choice he makes, he will be more confident.
