Chapter 15: Overturning the Seas

There is no time for cultivating immortals, snowflakes are floating, and another year has passed quietly.

Yuchi Peak Cave, training room.

Su Ming, wearing a short shirt, stood in the middle of the training room, his brows slightly frowned, and sweat dripped down his body.

His skin turned red under the pressure of the rootless heavy water, and the blood in his body surged. A faint white smoke came out of his pores, and his whole body swelled up, and his height exceeded nine feet.

Four years of hard training have greatly improved Su Ming's mana cultivation. The liquid mana in his body has reached 300 drops, and the mana lake in his dantian seems to have expanded.

However, in order to break through the middle stage of foundation building, Su Ming's "Heavy Water Mysterious Art" must be cultivated to the third level and condensed three drops of rootless heavy water.

With Su Ming's mana foundation, in order to achieve these conditions, at least 1,500 drops of liquid mana must be condensed in his body.

In the past three years, Su Ming had used up most of the spiritual stones in his storage bag because he needed to buy materials for the second-level talismans and formations.

In addition to the "Spiritual Yuan Pill" issued by the sect to the foundation-building cultivators to improve their cultivation, he could only rely on his own hard work. The improvement in his cultivation was due to the increase in the speed of cultivation due to the water virtue body.

According to Su Ming's calculations, without considering the resources of elixirs, after possessing the water virtue body, his cultivation speed has been improved to the same level as that of the cultivators with different spiritual roots, but only slightly lower than that of the cultivators with natural spiritual roots.

Su Ming was quite satisfied with this.

With the pseudo-spiritual root qualifications, he could have this cultivation speed. Even if he completely relied on himself to refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, Su Ming could have a chance to impact the golden elixir stage before his life was almost over.

If there were other spiritual objects and resources to help, Su Ming's cultivation could be further improved.

However, compared with the improvement in mana, Su Ming, who had the water virtue body, was obviously faster in practicing the heavy water quenching technique to quench his body.

In four years, Su Ming has completely mastered the heavy water quenching technique to the first level, and is now trying to break through the second level.

I don't know how long it has been, but it seems that the exercise has reached a critical point.

The white mist formed by the evaporation of blood and sweat around Su Ming became thicker and thicker, his face became more and more solemn, and his muscles and bones began to tremble unconsciously, as if he was suffering great pain.

However, for Su Ming, after experiencing the pain of burning the sea of ​​consciousness thousands of times, the pain brought by the rootless heavy water quenching the body is nothing more than this, and it can't shake his will at all.

Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!

Muscles and bones rang together, tiger and leopard thunder sound!

As the collision sound caused by the friction between bones and muscles sounded, the sound of tigers and leopards was faintly heard in the room, and Su Ming slowly stopped the exercise, because the body that was swollen by blood and qi gradually shrank back to normal human shape.

"After four years of training, the Heavy Water Body Tempering Technique finally broke through the second level..."

Su Ming clenched his fists full of power, whispered to himself, and then took out a medium-grade magic weapon flying knife from the storage bag and controlled the flying knife to cut his arm.

Dang!

The sound of metal clashing echoed, and the medium-grade magic weapon flying knife was instantly bounced away, leaving only a white mark on Su Ming's forearm.

Seeing this, Su Ming nodded with satisfaction.

After the Heavy Water Body Tempering Technique broke through the second level, Su Ming did not use his magic power, and his physical defense alone was enough to withstand the attack of the medium-grade magic weapon without any injury.

Although it is still far from the second-level physical cultivation that can withstand the attack of spiritual weapons, it can be regarded as a great compensation for Su Ming's disadvantage of insufficient physical foundation.

According to Fang Yuechan's guidance, with Su Ming's spiritual consciousness and magic power, the fifth level of Heavy Water Body Tempering Technique is still slightly insufficient.

Before Su Ming broke through the Jindan stage, he was able to practice the Heavy Water Body Tempering Technique to the sixth level, reaching the point where he could withstand a mid-grade spiritual weapon without any damage to his body. Even without the help of external forces, he would have a 30% chance of successfully breaking through the barrier with his essence and spirit alone.

If he could have the help of elixirs and spiritual objects to help break through the Jindan stage, the chance of breaking through the barrier would be increased to more than 50%.

A 50% chance is already extremely high among the chances of a cultivator breaking through the Jindan stage, enough for most foundation-building cultivators to give it a try.

After breaking through the second level of the Heavy Water Body Tempering Technique, Su Ming's body expelled some impurities.

After washing himself, Su Ming put on a green robe, looked at the less than 100 low-grade spiritual stones in his storage bag, and the 20 mid-grade spiritual stones that the sect had distributed at one time, shook his head, opened the stone door of the cave and walked out.

Four years of hard practice had completely consumed Su Ming's "rich" foundation in the Qi Refining stage.

In the past four years, although Su Ming did not purchase any magic tools or elixirs to improve his cultivation, he still needed a lot of spirit stones just to maintain his daily cultivation.

Adding to the consumption of talismans and formations, it is not easy for Su Ming's five-digit low-grade spirit stones to last until today.

"It is estimated that there is not much time left before Master consolidates his cultivation and comes out of retreat..."

"When Master comes out of retreat, I am afraid it will not be long before he goes to the front line..."

"While I still have free time, I have to go to Lingtai Market to deal with the spirit talismans I have refined this year..."

"By the way, let's see if it is possible. With the quality of the silver wolf hair brush, it is already a bit difficult to refine the second-level spirit talisman or the second-level formation diagram..."

(Make a patch, the talismans and formations are interoperable, and the formation pattern of the formation diagram also requires a talisman pen.)

Su Ming looked at the three stacks of spirit talismans and three formation diagrams in the storage bag and thought to himself.

Among these three stacks of talismans, the stack with the smallest number is the second-level talismans refined this year, and the remaining two stacks are the first-level top-quality talismans left over from that year.

For Su Ming, the first-grade top-grade talismans were no longer very useful, so he only kept some of the top-grade talismans, and prepared to exchange the rest for spiritual stones.

The three array diagrams were all second-grade middle-grade, and were also made by Su Ming himself during his hard training in the past few years.

As a second-grade top-grade array master, with the River Map and Luoshu, Su Ming's array skills can be said to have reached the limit of a second-grade array master.

Unfortunately, he was short of money and could only make three middle-grade array diagrams. The cost price of the three middle-grade array diagrams alone cost Su Ming more than 3,000 spiritual stones.

You know, when any spiritual material reaches the second grade, its value will increase significantly. The spiritual materials that can be used to make second-grade top-grade array diagrams are either out of stock or unaffordable.

The three array diagrams are the water-based killing array "Flipping the River Array", the defensive array "Big Three Talents Array", and the illusion array "Chaos Soul Array" derived from the River Map and Luoshu to the second-grade middle-grade.

If the three formations are linked by the Water Virtue Formation, a second-level superior composite formation "Turning Rivers and Seas Formation" can be set up, which is powerful enough to easily kill a cultivator in the late stage of the foundation-building period.

Even if a fake Dan cultivator enters the formation, it will take a fight to see who is stronger and who is weaker.

Compared with the True Soul Flame and the Three Seals Dragon Capturing Hand, the Turning Rivers and Seas Formation is Su Ming's biggest trump card.

If the Jindan True Person does not take action, the foundation-building cultivator will have no way to survive.

......

(I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, but I thought it was not a traditional holiday.)

(The author wishes everyone good luck, wealth, eternal youth, and immortality!)
