Chapter 213 Red Clothes Wants to Breakthrough
Chapter 213 Red Clothes Wants to Breakthrough
After an unknown amount of time, the spiritual energy in Xu Changshou's body became calm.
Opening his eyes, he counted on his fingers and realized that it had taken him a full five years from the time he broke through to now to condense this drop of foundation-building liquid.
Now, Xu Changshou is thirty-two years old.
If he continues at this speed, producing one drop of foundation-building true liquid every five years, he will need to condense ten drops of foundation-building true liquid, which will take him fifty years.
By that time, Xu Changshou would be 82 years old, still in the golden age of cultivation at the foundation-building stage, and would have the opportunity to break through to the golden elixir stage.
Of course, this is under ideal conditions.
After building the foundation, one must cultivate the five energies in the chest, find the five spirits, and also find a thousand-year-old spiritual tree, which all takes time.
With this calculation, even if you wait another ten years to reach the great perfection of foundation building, it will be fast.
If he adds another ten years, he would have reached the great perfection of foundation building at the age of ninety-two.
If time is wasted on the way because of failure to find the Five Spirits and the thousand-year-old spiritual tree, the age at this point will easily exceed one hundred years.
So, time is still very tight.
For example, now Xu Changshou has completed a five-year mission, which will expire in three or four months, and it is time to complete the next mission.
The tasks assigned by the ancestors can be delayed, but not for too long.
After all, Xu Changshou didn't have many spirit stones on him.
Now he only has more than 20,000 spirit stones on him.
During these five years, Xu Changshou's annual income was 46,000 spirit stones. Excluding the 36,000 spirit stones he spent on the Spirit Gathering Pill each year, he should have 10,000 spirit stones left over per year.
But the problem is that Green Ink Peak has just gotten on the right track. This is a big deal and there are many places to spend money. Xu Changshou still feels that he has not spent much money. He has invested 20,000 spirit stones, plus some of his own expenses, and currently he only has more than 20,000 spirit stones in his hand.
With this little money, you won’t be able to buy the Spirit Gathering Pill for a few years.
Right now, the most important thing is to find the thousand-year-old spiritual tree first. In addition, the matter of finding the spirits of plants and trees should also be put on the agenda.
There is a sequence for condensing the five energies in the foundation-building stage.
In the early stage of foundation building, condense the wood spirit energy.
In the middle stage of foundation building, the water spirit energy is condensed.
In the later stage of foundation building, the earth spirit energy is condensed.
The foundation is built to perfection, condensing the fire spirit energy and the gold spirit energy.
There is a reason why the wood spirit is placed first, because wood has a mild nature and is full of vitality, and will not harm the internal organs.
If the first one condenses the fire spirit energy or the gold spirit energy, these two properties are one extremely hot and the other sharp, and the internal organs will definitely not be able to withstand it.
Therefore, condense the fire spirit energy and the gold spirit energy last.
"Don't be in a hurry to find the plant spirits. Let's go get some thousand-year-old spiritual trees first."
Xu Changshou stood up and talked to himself.
Now, he has only condensed two drops of foundation-building true liquid. It is not too late to find the spirit of plants and trees before condensing the fourth drop of foundation-building true liquid.
"Master, I have something urgent to do. Can you let me out for a moment?"
At this time, Hongyi's voice suddenly sounded in Xu Changshou's ears. From her tone, it was not difficult to hear that she was a little anxious.
Hearing this, Xu Changshou glanced at the formation, which was in a closed state. He quickly took out the formation plate and set up a soundproof formation, then said, "Come out."
"Thank you, Master."
A red figure appeared in front of Xu Changshou, bowed slightly and said: "The servant Hongyi greets the master."
"Hongyi, what are you doing..."
Xu Changshou glanced at Hongyi and was a little surprised. At this time, Hongyi's condition was a little unstable, as if he was suppressing something.
"Master, this servant is about to break through."
"You are about to break through. What realm are you breaking through?"
"The realm of evil spirits."
"What!? You're going to break through the evil spirit!!"
Xu Changshou was shocked.
The evil ghost realm of a ghost cultivator is equivalent to the Jindan cultivator of the human race, and is equivalent to the Xuan-level demon of a demon cultivator.
The realm of ghost cultivation is the same as that of humans. It is said that humans and ghosts have different paths, but in fact, the cultivation of humans and ghosts leads to the same destination.
Humans practice cultivation in order to become immortals, and ghosts also practice cultivation in order to become immortals.
A ghost cultivator must first become a human before becoming an immortal.
The first few levels of ghost cultivation are wandering soul, ghost swelling, evil ghost, and ghost king, which correspond to the Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Elixir, and Nascent Soul of human cultivators respectively.
Ghost cultivators begin to condense their physical bodies when they reach the Ghost King realm, also known as the Nascent Soul realm, and complete the condensation of their physical bodies when they reach the Spirit Transformation realm.
It is exactly the opposite of the cultivation of human beings.
The two realms of the human race, Yuanying and Huashen, focus on cultivating the Yuanshen, relying on the powerful physical body to nourish the soul.
The ghost cultivators in the two realms of Nascent Soul and Transformation of the Spirit focus on the physical body, using their powerful spirit and soul to condense the physical body.
When one reaches the realm of transformation into a spirit, ghost cultivators no longer exist and they become human beings.
Therefore, the realm that ghost cultivators reach later in life is the same as that of human cultivators.
If the ghost cultivator does not develop towards the human cultivation system, he will never be able to pass the level of tribulation. Without a physical body, how can he resist the thunder tribulation?
Of course, there are essential differences between ghost cultivators and human cultivators.
Ghost practitioners cultivate their spirit and soul, supplemented by their physical body, while humans cultivate their physical body, supplemented by their spirit and consciousness.
Ghost cultivators have longer lifespans than humans, and their cultivation speed is far slower than that of humans. Some wandering souls have been wandering for hundreds of years and are still wandering souls.
However, Hongyi seems to be an exception. According to her, it has only been a few decades since she became conscious, and now she is about to break through the realm of evil spirits. Even among the geniuses of the human race, few can cultivate so fast.
Xu Changshou had previously suspected that the origin of the man in red was not simple, and now his suspicion has been further confirmed.
At this time, the one in red was obviously about to break through, but she was suppressing her realm, trying not to break through.
Xu Changshou said sternly, "Hongyi, break through immediately. I will protect you. It's safe here."
Hongyi shook her head and said, "I can break through in the Soul Nurturing Jade without a guardian. However, I can't break through now. When a ghost cultivator breaks through, it's easy to go astray. I need the help of a pill from your race to get through safely."
"What elixir?"
"Soul-soothing pill!"
Soul-soothing Pill...
Xu Changshou nodded slightly. He had heard of this kind of elixir. Generally, some practitioners with too much hostility or unstable emotions would use the Soul-Calming Pill to assist in the breakthrough.
Hongyi is a soul body, so it is not surprising that he can use this kind of elixir.
However, this kind of elixir is generally used by evil cultivators. Disciples of the Green Immortal Sect generally do not use this kind of elixir, so it may not be available for purchase.
"Hongyi, how long can you hold on?"
"Reporting to the Director, I can suppress it for ten days or half a month without any problem. If it takes too long, I will not be able to suppress it. Even without the Soul-Calming Pill, I will have to break through."
"You enter the Soul Nurturing Jade first. Be patient. I will go find the Soul-Calming Pill right away."
"Thank you, Master."
The man in red bowed and thanked him, then entered the soul-nourishing jade.
Xu Changshou casually removed the formation, summoned his flying sword, and quickly flew towards Deacon Peak.
Hongyi is about to break through, which is definitely a surprise to him.
As a ghost cultivator, after breaking through the evil ghost realm, although he cannot defeat the human race's Jindan cultivators, he is absolutely invincible against cultivators in the foundation building realm.
