Chapter 245 Late Jindan Period

Three months later.

Shen Lian, sitting cross-legged in the cave, had a ruddy face, and the turbulent breath in his body had completely calmed down.

He had also let go of the fact that the second Jindan magical power could not be imprinted.

Lost in the east, gained in the west. The second magical power could not be imprinted on the Jindan, but the second magical power appeared in the five internal organs, which was no less than that of other cultivators.

For this, his current inference is that it may be related to the three different energies he possesses, which hindered him from imprinting the magical runes on the Jindan.

As for the deeper problems, Shen Lian could not figure it out at present, and could only slowly find the truth in the future.

The second Jindan magical power could not be imprinted. At this point, it was meaningless to suppress the realm at the peak of the middle Jindan period.

After thinking through this matter, Shen Lian calmed down and began to prepare for the promotion to the late Jindan period.

…

Spring went and autumn came, and the withered yellow leaves outside the cave flew up.

Dahei shook his big pliers boredly.

"Heizi, when do you think the master will come out of retreat?"

Dahei, who was originally in a bored state, heard this and his two big pliers were grinding and sparking.

"Xiaoer, what did you say, say it again."

"Puff."

In the blink of an eye, two figures, one black and one red, wrestled together.

"Remove your pliers from my beautiful crown."

"Take your claws off my little brother."

"My little brother has made contributions to the master, shed blood for the master, and made great contributions."

"Bah, you seed ant!"

In the pond in the spirit beast room, Sanqian spit bubbles, "Fight, fight, fight."

...

In the training room.

The first time Shen Lian woke up, he sensed the fight between his three spirit beasts.

Two fools and a troublemaker.

It was not difficult for him to advance to the late stage of Jindan. In fact, he did not even use the third-grade superior Jinjing Poyuan Dan used for breaking through the level. He easily broke through the bottleneck of the late stage of Jindan with just ordinary elixirs for cultivation.

During the breakthrough, his divine consciousness strength soared by 12,000 feet, which made Shen Lian's divine consciousness strength reach 53,000 feet.

Looking at the entire cultivation world, there are very few cultivators who can reach a divine consciousness strength of 50,000 feet among the cultivators who have reached the great perfection of Jindan.

Just breaking through a small realm, the divine consciousness soared by 12,000, which made Shen Lian somewhat doubt his five-element spirit body. Could it be that it is suitable for the soul?

Some spirit bodies suitable for the soul will feedback the divine consciousness strength far exceeding that of cultivators of the same level when the cultivator breaks through.

After the breakthrough, Shen Lian practiced for a while and re-refined several spells attached to the Five Qis to the Origin Gong.

The improvement of divine consciousness will also improve the understanding and perception of cultivators, which is why everyone will review the old spells.

"Buzz."

With a wave of his hand, the Five Elements Ship also flew out of his body.

As a third-level upper-grade full-material formation, talisman, and weapon refining mage, he naturally had to take good care of his own life-defining magic weapon.

The five thunder treasures that had been withdrawn from his body before could just be integrated into the Five Elements Ship.

…

"I don't know if I can defeat a real Nascent Soul cultivator with my own foundation."

More than half a year later, Shen Lian muttered to himself with a smile on his face, and the Five Elements Ship turned into a stream of light, flashing with lightning arcs around him.

"Next, I have to take good care of the three little ones. They have been with me for so long, it's time for them to be promoted to the third level."

"... I need to exchange more thunder-attributed spirit stones for backup."

"From now on, I have to increase my schedule to stock up on fourth-level spirit objects."

"The late Jindan stage is not far from the great perfection of the Jindan stage. I need to collect the corresponding five-element spirit objects, and then focus on evolving the five-element yin and yang qi."

"Walk around more and see if I can find the follow-up exercises of the Five Qis to the Origin Gong. Otherwise, I can only switch to the exercises I got from the old monster Ziyang again."

"With my current strength, the cultivators in the early Yuanying stage should not be able to kill me. Next, I can quickly develop some Bu Tianjiao members."

"The teleportation arrays and star markers that I had conceived to collect in Yunduan Xiancheng can also be implemented. It's always right to leave a way out for myself."

In the cave, Shen Lian opened and closed his eyes and slowly stretched his body.

"Master."

Sensing that Shen Lian had finished practicing, the three little guys ran over.

Dahei, Sanqian, and Erwansan were crowded at the door, trying to get in, and then they collapsed the stone door frame of the training room.

Now the three little beasts have cultivated to the perfection of the second level, and the next step is to overcome the tribulation and advance to the third level.

Shen Lian knocked on the heads of the three little ones one by one, "Next, I have time to deal with you three. If anyone can't overcome the tribulation, I will stew him and eat him."

"Ah..."

Dahei was startled suddenly.

"Dahei, don't be afraid, the master lied to you."

Erwan comforted Dahei.

"Don't worry, there will be no ashes left under the tribulation."

"Ah..."

This time, Dahei was even more shaken.

"Don't shake, it's okay, I'll help you dig a hole."

"Ah..."

Dahei's two pincers drooped to the ground, and then raised them again, "I'll strangle you to death first."

"Hit, hit, hit."

Shen Lian grabbed Sanqian who was watching the show and carefully examined the reverse scale on its lower jaw. He found that this reverse scale was only one-fifth the size of other scales, and it was a little white.

"Master, it hurts."

Sanqian's two little dragon whiskers kept pushing Shen Lian's big hands, but it was useless. Shen Lian carefully checked them from inside to outside.

Dahei and Sanqian also did not get rid of this process.

After checking the bodies of the three spirit beasts, Shen Lian also had a rough number in his mind.

Next, before the three spirit beasts are promoted to the third level, the spirit medicine that can help them stimulate their blood must be prepared.

With the power of the heavenly tribulation, the spirit medicine can be released in the body to achieve the best effect.

...

One month later.

Shen Lian drove the spirit ship and shuttled between the vast mountains and rivers.

Passing through some smaller fairy cities along the way, the most intuitive feeling he had was that it was more prosperous than in the southern continent.

There were also many low-level alchemists, and the pills used for training qi and building foundation were cheaper than in the southern continent, of course, except for the foundation-building pill.

Although the foundation-building pill was easier to obtain than in the southern continent, the price did not change.

On the way, in some rolling hills and mountains, one could clearly sense that there were cultivators fighting.

The cultivators who came and went had long been accustomed to this, and some turned around and ran away.

Some cultivators joined in and started businesses together to get rich.

Shen Lian passed by, and naturally there were people who were eyeing him, but unfortunately they were not strong enough and failed in their business.

"Why does it feel more chaotic than in the South Continent?"

After sending away two groups of entrepreneurial cultivators in succession, Shen Lian was a little speechless.

This is obviously still a place controlled by the Yuanying major sects, not a chaotic area where the human race and other races meet, and it is not a region controlled by the Demon Sect and the Evil Sect.

When encountering small cities and market towns along the way, Shen Lian would also enter them to take a look, buy some spiritual objects, and sell some of the small puppets and small pills he refined.

He didn't make much money in a small market town, just a few thousand or tens of thousands of low-grade spiritual stones, and after dozens of small cities in a row, he also had an income of 200,000 spiritual stones.

Lingyun Pavilion cheated him, so he solved the pill problem for his fellow Taoists. Let's talk about whether his realm is high or not.

In this way, Shen Lian traveled 30,000 miles and saw a large fairy city by the water and mountains from afar.

The fairy city is divided into three parts, one in the giant lake, one on the plain, and one on the gentle hillside.

He could sense the breath of the forbidden air spirit from a long distance, so he put away the spirit ship.

This kind of city that forbids air within a hundred miles outside the fairy city is really rare.

This city is called Dongting Fairy City, which is well-known in the entire Tianping Domain.

After falling underground, Shen Lian walked forward for 20 or 30 miles, and there appeared a series of illegal buildings outside the city in front of him.

These buildings outside the city rely on the undulating terrain, built at the foot of the hill, the hillside, and the valley, and are decorated very beautifully.

After passing through the building complex outside the city, Shen Lian was stopped by two green-robed monks near the city gate.

"Senior, you need to pay 100 low-grade spirit stones to enter the city, and you can stay in the city for one year."

Shen Lian casually threw out 100 spirit stones, took a jade talisman and walked towards the city.

In the city, in a restaurant.

Shen Lian happily drank the wine in the cup, and looked through the window at the monks walking on the street below.

It has been quite a while since he came to the Central Continent, and he has also learned a little about the Central Continent area.

In the Central Continent area, there are many races, not only the human race, but also the monster race, the sea race, the spirit race and other alien races. The places where the various races live are intertwined, and you have me and I have you.

The place where he is currently is called the Tianping area. The area of ​​this area is very large, and it is almost two-thirds of the entire southern continent.

The one who controls this area is the Haoyang Sect.

Why this sect has six Nascent Soul monks, the reason is ultimately this.

After years of fighting and annexation, there are now seven large human forces in the area of ​​the Southern Central Continent.

Tianyuan Sect, Yushan Sect, Chixiao Sect, Zhenyue Hall, Luosha Valley, Wanmo Cave, Yaoyue League.

These seven major sects all have great cultivators in the late Yuanying stage.

Among them, Luosha Valley and Wanmo Cave are demon sects, and Yaoyue League is an evil sect. They are famous in the Central Continent and can stop children from crying.

The remaining four major sects belong to the righteous sects.

The seven major sects plus the demon clan, the spirit clan, the sea clan and other foreign races have divided up more than 70% of the territory of Tiannan Central Continent, as well as the sea area of ​​the East China Sea.

And in the intersection of these territories, there are some smaller Yuanying-level forces.

The Haoyang Sect of Tianping Domain is located at the southernmost tip of the Central Continent. To be honest, it has a great advantage in geographical location to develop to this point. It is too far away from other major sects, but it is much more stable.

Those Yuanying sects sandwiched between the territories of the seven major sects have a much stronger sense of crisis than the Haoyang Sect.

Among the seven major sects, Yushan and Chixiao are the strongest, with Yuanying Great Perfection cultivators in their sects.

Before killing Ziyang, Shen Lian heard from him that Yushan Sect had held a body possession ceremony.

It was held for the second-ranked Yuanying late elder of Yushan Sect.

Another sect Shen Lian had heard of was Tianyuan Sect. Before he was promoted to Jindan, he met Xue Zishou, a disciple of Tianyuan Sect, in Tianzhu Mountain.

At that time, this person's strength surprised him a little.

Tiannan Zhong Continent is vast. In addition to the places where Yuanying Sects are entrenched, there are also some plots in chaos, and various disputes are very fierce.

In short, combined with the fighting situations encountered along the way, it can be seen that Zhonglu is not a peaceful place.

Fortunately, most of the instability is outside the city, and some large immortal cities are still very stable.

Take the Dongting Fairy City as an example. It is said to be a fairy city, but in fact it can be regarded as an independent realm.

The entire fairy city is more than a thousand miles from north to south, and an even more than 2,200 miles from east to west.

It is said to be a city wall and gate, but it is actually just a boundary around it.

What the monks saw was only the outermost part of this area, where the monks lived and traveled, and deeper inside was where the mortal monks lived, with hundreds of millions of mortals living there.

There are three Jindan-level forces in the entire Dongting Fairy City area.

After having a drink, Shen Lian left the restaurant and walked to the street.

The street was very wide, even if hundreds of people could walk parallel to each other, there would be no problem. He quickly headed towards the center of the street, and finally stopped in front of a building that was a hundred feet high.

"Dongting Waterside Pavilion."

After taking a look at the plaque, Shen Lian stepped in.

"Senior Wan'an."

As soon as he entered the door, two rows of classically dressed female nuns on both sides of the door bowed to him.

"Senior, I don't know what spiritual objects are needed."

Then, a female nun quickly walked up to guide us.

"There may be dragon blood."

Shen Lian asked.

The guiding maid heard the sound and then led him into a quiet room on the second floor.

Not long after, a chubby middle-aged monk with a moustache on his chin walked into the quiet room.

"I am the deputy shopkeeper of Dongting Waterside Pavilion. You can just call me shopkeeper Lin. I don't know what your surname is."

Shopkeeper Lin hugged his fists towards Shen Lian.

"Li Yufei."

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Li."

Shopkeeper Lin sat opposite Shen Lian, "I don't know which level of third-order dragon blood my fellow Taoist needs."

Shen Lian said calmly, "Of course, the higher the grade, the better. What grade does your land have?"

"Currently, I have a copy of the essence and blood of a third-order low-grade rock dragon dragon in my pavilion, but I'm afraid it won't be able to catch the eyes of fellow Taoists."

Shen Lian shook his head slightly and sighed, "I need a piece of the water dragon's blood."

"Fellow Taoist, please listen to what I have to say."

Shopkeeper Lin smiled and continued: "If you, fellow Taoist, are not in a hurry, I can go and purchase the goods for you in my pavilion."

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows.

Is this literal?

"As long as fellow Taoists can afford the price, you can't get the fourth-order dragon essence and blood, but you can still get the third-order mid- and high-grade ones."

Looking at the smiling shopkeeper Lin, Shen Lian tilted his head.

I think he has seen a lot from south to north. This is the first time I have seen such a loud seller.

The toad yawned and pretended to be a golden toad.

Behind the Dongting Water Pavilion are three Jindan-level forces, the strongest of which is a Jindan Dzogchen monk. How could he have such great confidence?

He also produces third-level high-grade dragon blood.

Big places are just different, they all have a loud tone.

"Fellow Taoist, you are serious about what you said." Shen Lian tilted his head and looked at Shopkeeper Lin, and asked quietly.

"Of course I don't lie. I've been opening Dongting Waterside Pavilion here for how many years. If I lie and don't count, how can I continue to open it?"
