Chapter 187 The state of mind

Lao Dao and other three people are not the only human monks Zhao Di met in the waters of No. 8 Island who had ideas about him. On the third day after meeting these three people, Zhao Di also met an unknown middle-stage monk on the way. This man is a tall and strong man. Relying on his own magic weapon - the strong power of a huge stone mallet that can knock on the mountain and broken bridge, he is about to take action against Zhao Di.

But when this man approached Zhao's land within a hundred feet and found that he was full of terrible evil spirit, he was so scared that he fled

The monks who can gather so many evil spirits can either hunt a large number of high-level monsters or kill a lot of monks of the same level or above. No matter what the situation is, it shows that this person's strength is outstanding, and he is by no means an ordinary monk in the early stage of Jiedan

Although this big man is five big and three rough, his mind is very clear. He is a mid-stage monk of Jiedan, and his cultivation is higher than that of the other party. If the other party's strength is far beyond the same level, he is not sure that he can kill the other party. In this case, of course, he will immediately escape >

The closer it is to the Eighth Island, the more monks Zhao Di has met. Sometimes it's a solo actor like him, and sometimes it's a team in twos and threes, but in general, most of them are the latter.

After all, you have to kill monsters here. In addition to the threat from monsters, the threat from other human monks is greater. If you are left alone and targeted, it is very dangerous to be outnumbered. Therefore, there are very few monks who dare to do this, and almost without exception are those who are far more powerful than those of the same level. Only this kind of existence can safely return to No. 8 Island after hunting monsters

Therefore, when Zhao Di met these monks, they almost always exchanged eyes with each other very tacitly and missed each other at a speed, as if they had never met each other.

Occasionally, there were some malicious people, but after getting a little closer, they saw the amazing evil spirit on Zhao Di, and they all had similar thoughts to the big man, and did not rashly deal with Zhao.

In this way, after the attention of all kinds of monks, Zhao Di returned to No. 8 Island without danger.

For a monk in the early days of Jiedan, he was still able to return safely after seven or eight years in the waters of No. 8 Island. Although it is not a matter of course, it is not a rare thing. Therefore, some monks on No. 8 Island who saw Zhao Di seven or eight years ago, and after seeing Zhao Di at this time, there was no fuss except for looking at him with new eyes and more respect for him. For the monks of the elixir period, the strength is directly linked to the power of having magic weapons. If an early monk has some powerful magic weapons, it is not worth paying attention to the killing of the middle or even later monks. Of course, as long as the magic weapon is not too far away, high-level monks still have obvious advantages in the face of low-level monks.

Zhao Di habitually made a small purchase on No. 8 Island, and then returned to Penglai Fairy Island. And casually went to the Zhengdao League, which is responsible for renting the pavilion of the cave, and took his own cave

This overseas experience, his gains are extremely rich. In the next few days, he will take advantage of these gains to greatly improve the cultivation of himself, his spirit beast ice wind python and the two daughters of Youlan.

The amount of elixirs refined this time is really a lot, and they are extremely valuable. Even some alchemy auxiliary materials are expensive, especially Zhao Di still needs a considerable amount. The total price is an astronomical figure for the elixir period monks. /P>

And Zhao Di also found miserably that the number of middle-level spirit stones in the storage bracelet was far from enough for him to use

This is something he had expected for a long time. Although Qiankun Baoding provided him with a huge amount of wealth in the early stage, which made his strength far beyond that of the same-level monks, with the improvement of his cultivation, the role of these spiritual stones will become smaller and smaller. Even later, the circulation of treasures was not at the expense of spiritual After the spirit stone and even the high-level spirit stone could not be used to buy treasures that were useful to him, the effect of the small tripod was greatly weakened.

So he has been trying to improve his strength, which is the most important and never-ending

Zhao Di sat in the secret room in Yuqingfeng Cave, holding a red, translucent coral reef in his hand, smiling and saying nothing.

This 200-year-old fire coral was found from the storage bags of Lao Dao and other three people.

This thing is less old. Although it is not worth many spiritual stones, there are very few outflows, and once found, most of them will be used to refine some treasures with fire attributes immediately. Therefore, Zhao Di inquired in various places for a long time and never got one.

But I didn't expect that someone would eagerly send the treasure he couldn't find to him. The coincidence of fate made Zhao Di sigh a little

In this way, Zhao Di has collected all the seven treasures of Buddhism. As long as the spiritual power of several treasures such as fire corals is cultivated to the limit with a small tripod, he can refine the mixed-yuan seven-star sword that places Zhao Di's infinite expectations

This kind of magic is very compatible with his skills. It can be constantly refined and strengthened as a magic weapon, and the power is absolutely extraordinary in terms of material, which is one of the best ways to improve Zhao's strength.

In addition, a large number of six-level demon elixir is the main raw material, which can refine several elixirs that are useful to the early and middle monks, including Huayuan elixir. I believe that with the help of these elixirs, Zhao Di's cultivation can make rapid progress.

In the following time, Zhao Di ordered the two women to constantly cultivate the middle-level spirit stone with the small tripod. At the same time, he also used the yin fire to refine some six-level demon souls to produce some "falling soul elixirs" with strong soul power. This elixir is an excellent "medicine" used by the two

And Zhao Di himself refined a few six-level dragonfly demon elixirs in his hand into six-level "hua Jiao elixir" for ice wind python refining and taking.

Then Zhao Di began to refine the Huayuan elixir he took. When there are not enough auxiliary materials, Zhao Di will take a batch of middle-level spiritual stones to the city to buy some.

In this way, Zhao Di has to go out every few months to purchase a batch of items, and then continue to make alchemy. During this period, he also casually went to the pavilion of Zhengdao League, which was responsible for renting the cave, and extended the lease of his cave for another 50 years.

This cave has a strong aura, which is much better than Luojia Island. It doesn't matter when the cultivation was low in the past. For Zhao Di, who already needs a lot of aura between the monks of the Jiedan period and meditation, any more favorable conditions cannot be easily let go

Two years later, Zhao Di finally refined a large number of elixirs, began to practice in retreat, took Huayuan elixir, refined the medicinal power, and then circulated the medicine power over and over and over again according to the "Mixed Yuan Secret".

The two daughters of Youlan and Youruo are not idle. While continuing to cultivate five kinds of treasures such as fire coral with the small tripod, they took the refined "falling soul elixir". At the same time, they also mentioned Zhao Di to take care of the ice wind python and regularly fed it to eat the level 6 chemical elixir.

As for the work of guarding the cave, studying classics and other work, it is naturally the responsibility of the two women. It can be said that it is with the assistance of the two ghost slaves that Zhao Di can meditate and practice. This is also his original intention to accept the ghost slave. It's just that Youlan Youruo's two daughters are better than Zhao Di originally expected. If the two women only deal with some chores, it's really useless.

With single-minded hard work, time passes quickly. In the cave, people, ghosts, and spirit beasts are increasing their cultivation crazily.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.

On this day, Zhao Di sighed and stood up.

He swallowed a piece of the best chemical yuan elixir after the cultivation of a small tripod yesterday. He closed his eyes and meditated. He spent a day and night refining the medicine, but he still could not turn the powerful spiritual power contained in the elixir into his own use, hitting the last bottleneck in the early stage of the elixir.

Similar things have happened to him dozens of times, that is to say, he has wasted dozens of the best yuan elixir, and dozens of times failed to impact the great perfection of the early stage of the elixir, and has been unable to enter the mid-term realm of the elixir. Judging from the current situation, even if Zhao Di takes more elixirs, it is still useless and wasteful

Since I had an anti-sky tripod that can upgrade ordinary elixirs to the best elixirs, this kind of thing has rarely happened to Zhao Di. This kind of advancement within the same realm, generally as long as Zhao Di's cultivation is reached, and then assisted by a few powerful best elixirs, it is often easier to break through the bottleneck and enter the next level.

Only when encountering the advancement of the great realm, such as the thirteenth floor of the gas refining period to the early stage of foundation building, the later stage of foundation building to the early stage of Jiedan, will this kind of qualitative leap make Zhao Di encounter great difficulties.

In the middle of the foundation building from the peak of the early stage of foundation construction, it was easy to break through with only two of the best elixir, and in the later stage of the advanced foundation building, he succeeded without even using a single best elixir.

Now Zhao Di has prepared a large number of the best chemical elixirs, and there are also high-level spiritual arrays and a pile of high-level spiritual stones to help. He still can't break through the bottleneck, which really makes him very depressed

Zhao Di has already thought about it carefully many times. In the end, he believes that this matter should be related to his own state of mind.

Many skills, especially those of Taoism and Confucianism, have the saying that they have changed their hearts into the ordinary.

When the monk's cultivation improves extremely fast, his state of mind often cannot keep up with the progress of his cultivation, so he needs to specially hone his mood.

Confucianism pays attention to entering the world. When training the state of mind, it is necessary to enter the mortal world, contact with mortals and guide these mortals to the concept of governing the country and the world advocated by Confucianism. Therefore, Confucian monks often hold certain official positions in the mortal world when they need to enter the mortal world, or as literati and auxiliary staff, participate in some major decisions in the mortal world and play an important role. If you get great exercise in the center of this process, it may even produce the unique Confucian magic of Haoran Zhengqi.

Haoran's righteousness, like the breath of the book, is one of the typical magical powers of Confucian monks, and is also the basic basis for Confucian monks to use many powerful spells. For high-level Confucian monks, it is an indispensable magical power.

Therefore, every year, many Confucian monks converge their cultivation and come to all parts of the mortal world to lead a generation of demeanor.

Unlike Confucianism, although Taoist skills also pay attention to turning the heart into the mortal world, it pays attention to "breaking the world", that is, seeing through the meaning of the earth.

Taoism pays attention to all kinds of things. When monks enter the mortal world to exercise their state of mind, they should generally be completely transformed into an ordinary mortal, personally feel the life, old age, illness and death, bitterness and sorrow of the lowest mortals, and experience all kinds of changes in the heart, and confirm the heavens and earth. Only by seeing through the way in it can we get out of it, unrestrained and carefree, for self-cultivation.

And another mainstream branch of the Zhengdao League, Buddhist monks, pays attention to "Crossing the World", that is, the meaning of universal crossing all sentient beings. Buddhist monks should always be compassionate and kind to others, but there is no special emphasis on Huafan. Some Buddhist schools believe that all kinds of creatures in the world have karma, and the passing of aging is the most important way to resolve karma. And the monks practiced immortality and forcibly promoted Shouyuan, which is to act against the sky, and the karma will only increase. The more highly cultivated the monks are, the greater their karma is, and the more likely they are to be counterattacked by them.

And the three evil sects: the monks of the devil's door, the ghost's door and the demon's door do not pay much attention to it. They often pay more attention to the frankness, follow the monk's own natural nature, and are not pretentious. However, there are often evil monks whose main skills are too bloody and gloomy, and their personalities gradually become more and more tyrannical and cruel, and even things that lose their nature and lose their minds occasionally happen.

The "Hunyuan Secret" practiced by Zhao Di is a pure and authentic Taoist skill, and the state of mind must be in an ancient state of mind. In this career of cultivating immortals for more than a hundred years, Zhao Di asked himself that he had already done this, so he did not pay too much attention to these things.

As for the theory of turning his heart into the world, he has also seen many times in the classics that if this matter is not handled well, it may indeed cause a mental disorder. If it is light, it will cause some cultivation bottlenecks to become several times more difficult, and may even make the practice unable to move forward for the rest of his life. In serious It's a big loss

After all, Zhao Di had more than 20 years of mortal life experience at the time of his birth. He thought that he did not need to go through the stage of turning his heart into the mortal, but unexpectedly, it was only the bottleneck in the early stage of Jiedan, which made him encounter difficulties

Are you going to spend a year or two in a mortal society and waste this precious practice time in vain? Or look for other alternatives that take less time?

When Zhao Di was repeatedly measuring and grasping, suddenly the sacrificial soul beads in his body reacted.

Zhao Di's eyebrows condensed. Youlan Youruo must have something urgent to inform him, and the two girls can't make the decision, otherwise she will never disturb him at the critical moment of his retreat.

Zhao Di stretched out his hand and flicked it gently, and a purple gas hit the thick stone door of the quiet room. The latter slowly moved away, revealing the figure of the two girls at the door. Both of them looked nervous and cautious.

Youlan was holding a red jade charm in her hand. After she saw Zhao Di, she threw the jade charm directly to Zhao Di without saying a word.
