Chapter 119: Ninth Level of Qi Refining

Originally, when Su Ming returned to the sect this time, in addition to practicing in seclusion, he also needed to find a way to collect the 3,000 contribution points to exchange for the foundation-building pill.

Fang Yuechan only agreed to give him a quota to exchange for the foundation-building pill. If he wanted to exchange for the foundation-building pill, Su Ming and the other two naturally had to collect the 3,000 contribution points themselves.

Su Ming originally had 1,800 sect contribution points, and he was still 1,200 points away from exchanging for the foundation-building pill. It was not easy to collect these contribution points through private transactions with fellow disciples.

When Su Ming and Fang Yuechan mentioned it, this "rich lady" master waved her hand and helped him make up the missing sect contribution points.

So Su Ming didn't need to worry about other trivial matters at all, he just needed to practice hard to succeed in building the foundation as soon as possible.

After raising his hand and sending a sound transmission note to Zhou Xun to report his safety, Su Ming walked into the cave and raised his hand to open the restriction of the closed death gate.

After the cave of the Guiyuan Sect disciples opened this kind of restriction, except for the cultivators coming out of retreat to open it inside, the only way to break this method is by force.

When the fellow disciples saw that this restriction was opened, they would naturally not disturb the cave cultivators, and at most they would leave a note.

It takes 3,000 contribution points to exchange for the foundation-building pill in the Guiyuan Sect, and Fang Yuechan only agreed to give one exchange quota

The Qingquan Peak cave was just acquired and went to Guang'an City for garrison. Even if something happened in the middle, the cave had not been inhabited for three years. Many utensils had a thick layer of dust, which looked like some traces of time.

Although Su Ming only cared about the spiritual energy of the cave, he still had to clean it up in this case, otherwise it would be uninhabitable.

After tidying up the cave, Su Ming took a Yuquan Pill and began his daily practice of the technique.

......

One month later, Lingtai Market, Baixiang Tower.

"Brother Chang, Brother Su hasn't come yet?"

Jiang Caiyun, who was wearing a white dress, asked Chang Yun.

They sent a sound transmission note to Su Ming seven days ago, and the other party should have received the message long ago.

Hearing this, Chang Yun put down the sound transmission note he had just received in his hand, and looked at Jiang Caiyun, who was deliberately dressed up in front of him, with a strange expression.

"I just asked the fellow disciples living in Qingquan Peak, and Junior Brother Su seems to be in seclusion, and I can't contact him at all..."

Facing Jiang Caiyun's gaze, Chang Yun stretched out his hand and handed the sound transmission note to the other party.

Hearing this news, Jiang Caiyun, who was originally smiling, froze.

"Junior Sister Jiang, Junior Brother Su is just like this. Once he starts practicing, he will completely ignore the outside world. Don't worry about it..."

Seeing this, Chang Yun hurriedly comforted him.

Chang Yun could naturally see that Jiang Caiyun had a good impression of Su Ming after the border incident, and he actually wanted to match the two of them.

But now it seems that the flowers have intentions, but the water is ruthless.

This Junior Brother Su is determined to pursue the great way, and has no interest in private affairs between men and women.

Thinking of this, Chang Yun couldn't help but think of He Ru's appearance in his mind, and he sighed with some melancholy.

Junior Sister Jiang is like this, so is Chang Yun?

Build the foundation!

Must build the foundation successfully!

Only in this way can he continue to stay by the side of Senior Sister.

Thinking of He Ru, who has already shined on the front line and is called "Fairy Cold Moon" by his fellow disciples, Chang Yun's eyes became more determined, and he decided that after today, he would also start a closed-door retreat like Su Ming.

He would never come out of retreat until he breaks through the perfection of Qi Refining!

......

Time is like flowing water, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In these two years, in addition to practicing the exercises every day, Su Ming spent all his time studying the secrets of the water-based spiritual roots and the water jade body.

Like the old Jindan demon of the year, he recorded all the research data on the blank pages of "Spiritual Root Theory".

This "Spiritual Root Theory" became more and more complete, and it became easier for Su Ming to deduce the formation with his body with the help of the River Map and Luoshu.

"The water jade body can increase the efficiency of practicing water-based exercises by 30%, and if the spiritual body essence is taken through secret methods, the mana can be greatly refined, which is more effective in breaking through the foundation-building mana barrier than the foundation-building pill..."

"If the water jade body reaches the foundation-building stage, the spiritual body essence and pure mana will be more effective, and can even increase the chance of forming a pill by 10%..."

Looking at the jade slip information copied from the Sutra Library, Su Ming whispered to himself.

Although it is called a closed-door retreat, Su Ming's main purpose is to make people not disturb him. If he encounters some doubts, he will still go to the Sutra Library to check the information.

Looking at the meticulous body of Meng Xueer in front of him, Su Ming's heart flashed a trace of regret.

No wonder Meng Xueer wanted to take off her clothes at the beginning. It turns out that the water jade body can also purify the mana in the body of the cultivator, and it can even be effective for the cultivator in the foundation-building stage, increasing the chance of forming a pill by 10%.

But this trace of regret was fleeting in his heart, and Su Ming's eyes returned to calmness.

Let’s not talk about the fact that when Su Ming evacuated the border of Yuzhou, he had no chance to take Meng Xueer with him.

Even if he could, Su Ming would probably choose to kill Meng Xueer.

The real effect of the Water Jade Body can only be manifested after Meng Xueer breaks through to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Su Ming is not interested in cultivating an enemy to break through the Foundation Establishment Stage, as he might be bitten back one day.

As for the effect of the pure mana of the Water Jade Body in the Qi Refining Stage, it is not that useful for Su Ming.

After all, Su Ming is not like Zhao Qingfeng, whose mana is mixed and superficial. Most of his cultivation comes from hard work, and his foundation is definitely solid. The mana is more than enough to rely on the Foundation Establishment Pill, so there is no need to sacrifice the essence and break the Yuanyang Body.

"But there seem to be many similarities between the water-type spiritual root and the body of water jade..."

"If my guess is correct, relying on the method of carving a formation with my body, I, Su Ming, may not be unable to have an acquired spiritual body!"

Su Ming looked at the two corpses in front of him, constantly writing something on the "Spiritual Root Theory" in his hand, and from time to time entered the river map space to try to deduce his thoughts.

During the extremely fulfilling years of cultivation, Su Ming's cultivation level slowly increased. In the second spring of seclusion, Su Ming sat cross-legged on the stone bed and practiced the exercises. After the Water Spirit Technique was circulated for nine small cycles, his cultivation level came naturally and broke through to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Unless it is a five-type mixed spiritual root, the rest of the spiritual roots will have no obstacles to breaking through the bottleneck of the late stage of Qi Refining, and there will be no bottlenecks when practicing to the perfection of Qi Refining.

Of course, cultivators with extremely complex mana like Zhao Qingfeng are exceptions.

Su Ming carefully experienced the changes after breaking through to the ninth level of Qi Refining. First, his spiritual consciousness increased from 80 feet to 140 feet, which was far beyond the scope of Qi Refining cultivators. However, there was still a big gap from the spiritual consciousness strength of at least two miles in the Foundation Establishment stage.

According to Su Ming's daily use of the River Map and Luoshu to temper his spiritual consciousness, and with the help of the Soul Nourishing Liquid given by Fang Yuechan, after he cultivated to the perfection of Qi Refining, his spiritual consciousness strength should be able to reach about half of that of ordinary early Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Secondly, the total amount of mana in the body also increased by about 30%, but it was only a quantitative increase, without any qualitative difference.

Overall, the strength has increased a lot, but no matter how strong a Qi Refining cultivator is, it is difficult to fight against a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

To make a qualitative leap, you still have to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

After Su Ming felt the changes in his spiritual consciousness and mana, he stopped practicing and went to the practice room to control the magic weapon to familiarize himself with his increased strength.

Cultivation requires a combination of work and rest. Su Ming's continuous practice day and night is unbearable for many cultivators.

However, in Su Ming's opinion, there is nothing he enjoys more than the growth of his cultivation strength, and the life of hard cultivation is also full of fun.
