Chapter 426 Sacrifice and Refining Spiritual Treasures (fourth update)
At this moment, Xiao Lin was hiding in the spirit wood space and was in retreat. Xiao Lin had also thought about practicing in retreat in this spirit wood space before. During the practice, he was surprised to find that as long as he was in the spirit wood space, Within the spirit wood space, he could not absorb spiritual energy at all.
In other words, unless you rely on spiritual pills to assist, practicing in the spirit tree space will have no effect. Even if you take spiritual pills to practice, you still need the assistance of external spiritual energy. The so-called spiritual pills, on the one hand, are of course obtained through Absorb the aura contained in the elixir itself.
On the other hand, the concentration of spiritual energy in the meridians is increased by taking spiritual pills, thereby increasing the speed of absorbing spiritual energy from the outside world. Therefore, cultivators who rely on swallowing spiritual pills to assist their cultivation do not have high requirements for spiritual energy from the outside world, but Not at all.
If Xiao Lin hadn't been in poor condition at the moment and faced the danger of broken pills at any time, he wouldn't have chosen to practice hiding in the spirit wood space.
This was very painful for the two people who were searching for Xiao Lin. After searching for more than half a month, most of their spiritual consciousness was lost, but they still couldn't even see Xiao Lin's shadow.
Half a year later, Xiao Lin opened his eyes from trance. His eyes were filled with divine light. He breathed a long sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.
After six months of stabilization, the golden elixir in his Dantian has been completely stabilized. Compared with the foundation-building Dzogchen, his mana is at least ten times thicker. Of course, this is only in quantity. In terms of quality, the golden elixir monk's mana is stronger than that of the foundation-building Dzogchen. Brother Ji is even more condensed. It can be said that the two are not on the same level at all.
Looking at the lush spiritual grass in the spiritual wood space, Xiao Lin showed a pensive expression on his face.
When he thought about it, the two people outside should have left. After all, they couldn't find him for half a year, and they would judge that he had escaped.
However, Xiao Lin was not convinced, and if the two people did not give up searching for him and were still waiting outside, and he rashly went out of the sea, he might still be chased by them.
He had just entered the golden elixir stage, and the magic weapon had not been refined yet. Apart from the blue flame spiritual fire and several Dzogchen-level primary spells, his combat power was completely useless.
But after thinking of the magic weapon, Xiao Lin was stunned for a moment, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face. He patted the bag on his waist and shot out a star ring. This star ring was the same one he killed the demon. The golden elixir monk got it from him.
After getting this star ring, Xiao Lin always kept it in his storage bag and never took it out. Now that he has entered the golden elixir stage, he can use the star ring freely.
Opening his mouth slightly, the star ring in Xiao Lin's palm suddenly turned into a ray of green light and shot into his mouth. Xiao Lin also slowly closed his eyes and began to refine the star ring.
Two hours later, Xiao Lin opened his eyes. He gently stretched out his right hand, a green light flashed on his ring finger, and a simple silver-white ring appeared on the finger.
Xiao Lin showed a look of satisfaction on his face, and then with a thought, a dark green light flashed in his palm, and it turned out to be a jade box. Xiao Lin looked at the jade box with an excited expression on his face.
He had just entered the golden elixir, and he urgently needed a magic weapon for self-defense. Refining the magic weapon did not happen overnight, and he could not use the power of flames in the spirit wood space. Xiao Lin almost ate a small meal for this. Big loss of saplings.
What is placed in the jade box in his hand is the Qingyang Mirror that he got from the Tiandu Peak. This Qingyang Mirror was unable to sense the aura contained in it due to Xiao Lin's foundation-building level. Determine its level.
After entering the golden elixir stage, Xiao Lin was also pleasantly surprised to find that he could feel a strong aura surging in the Qingyang Jian in his hand. This feeling naturally made him understand that the Qingyang Jian in front of him was A mid-level spiritual treasure.
After understanding this, Xiao Lin placed the Qingyang Jian in his palm and sat cross-legged again. After a while, the Qingyang Jian slowly floated up and was level with Xiao Lin's face.
After Xiao Lin adjusted his own magic power, he suddenly opened his mouth, shot out a flashing dark green spiritual light, wrapped the Qingyang Jian in it, and began to refine it.
Although there are different levels of magic weapons, for Golden elixir monks, as long as they want to go further on the path of immortality, they will not choose to refine ordinary magic weapons, but will choose some rare materials in the world. , to refine magic weapons that can be advanced.
Although this type of magic weapon is also divided into different levels, as the magic power of the immortal cultivator increases, the level of the magic weapon will also advance. Although the natal magic weapon of the Nascent Soul monk and the natal magic weapon of the Jindan monk are the same. It belongs to the category of magic weapons, but the power of the two is vastly different.
This aspect is naturally attributed to the huge gap in realm between the two. After all, the degree of concentration of the magic power of the Nascent Soul monk is far greater than that of the Golden Core monk, and the power of the magic weapon itself is also very different.
Nascent Soul monks are all old monsters who have lived for hundreds of years. The natal magic weapon is kept in the Dantian by them day by day, and is refined day by day by their own magic power. As time goes by, the spirituality of the natal magic weapon not only becomes more and more powerful, but also itself. The material can also be further refined, making it far more durable and sturdy than the golden elixir monk's natal magic weapon.
Lingbao is different. Since the Lingbao cannot be absorbed into the body, the quality of the Lingbao itself basically determines the upper limit of its power. For example, the Qingyang Mirror in Xiao Lin's hand is itself a mid-level Lingbao. , then it can only be an intermediate spiritual treasure forever, and cannot be advanced to a high level.
Even if it is re-refined, it will not work. The spirituality in the spiritual treasure, which is born from the power of heaven and earth, will be greatly reduced or even disappear once it is re-refined. Then, even if it is refined, it is just a piece of higher-level metal material, and it loses its own power.
However, under the same level, the power of the spiritual treasure of the same grade is greater than that of the magic weapon. This is also a recognized fact in the world of immortal cultivation. Moreover, since the types of a cultivator's natal magic weapon are limited, in the process of fighting with the enemy, it will also limit their own means.
Therefore, some cultivators with high combat power will use this kind of spiritual treasure to improve the flexibility of their combat power and the diversity of their means. Of course, spiritual treasures are only a very effective way to improve combat power.
And secret magic, powerful middle and high-level spells, and formation forbidden techniques can also play the role of cultivators' combat power.
Xiao Lin has just entered the golden elixir and has not yet refined his own natal magic weapon. For him, refining this Qingyang Mirror first will undoubtedly greatly improve his self-protection power.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't refine the Five Elements Spirit Bead in the Spirit Wood Space, Xiao Lin would have wanted to refine this spiritual treasure as well. In this way, although he hadn't refined his own life magic treasure yet, with these two spiritual treasures, he would be able to compete with ordinary Jindan cultivators.
Half a month later, the Qingyang Mirror floating in front of Xiao Lin was emitting a dark green spiritual light, and Xiao Lin had stopped injecting mana into it, but was closing his eyes to regulate his breathing.
After half a month of refining, the Qingyang Mirror was now completely controlled by Xiao Lin. Although Xiao Lin hadn't opened his eyes, he had a strange connection with this spiritual treasure through his spiritual consciousness.
He could even sense that the Qingyang Mirror was showing a trace of joy, and there was a faint gesture of asking for credit from him. That feeling was very much like his own child telling him excitedly after completing a task, expressing his joy in his heart.
At the moment of refining Qingyang Jian, Xiao Lin immediately understood its function. Qingyang Jian is a defensive spiritual treasure. When fighting with the enemy, it can condense a layer of Qingyang divine light, wrap itself in it, and resist the attacks of other people's magic weapons.
Moreover, this Qingyang divine light can automatically adjust the mentality according to one's own mind. It can be a shield-shaped spiritual light or a spiritual light shield. Anyway, as long as Xiao Lin's mind moves, this Qingyang divine light can condense into any shape he imagines in his sea of consciousness.
After a while, Xiao Lin exhaled a breath of turbid air, slowly opened his eyes, and his face was still full of joy.
He gently reached deep into his hand, and a dark green spiritual light flashed. The next moment, Qingyang Jian had already appeared in his palm. After entering the Jindan stage and refining this spiritual treasure, Xiao Lin was surprised to find that as long as it was within a hundred feet, the movement speed of the spiritual treasure was almost terrifying.
Xiao Lin had no doubt that under this magic treasure, his magic flash spell was completely incapable of evading. After understanding this, Xiao Lin finally understood the huge gap between foundation-building cultivators and golden elixir cultivators. This was not surprising in the world of immortal cultivation. A cultivator in the middle stage of foundation-building killed a cultivator in the late stage of foundation-building.
And a cultivator who had reached the great perfection of foundation-building killed a golden elixir cultivator. Such a thing had never happened in the world of immortal cultivation. Even the demon elixir that Xiao Lin killed that year was killed with great effort when the other party's body was damaged and he could not control the magic weapon.
Now thinking about it, Xiao Lin was also afraid of his impulsiveness. If that demon elixir had practiced some secret magic or his body was not completely dead, whether he could survive until now was an unknown number.
Xiao Lin played with the Qingyang Mirror in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the happier he became. Suddenly, his mind moved, and the Qingyang Mirror shook slightly and appeared above the sapling's head. From above, a bunch of Qingyang divine lights hung down, turning into a cage, covering the sapling inside.
This was originally Xiao Lin's subconscious mischievous behavior, but the reaction of the sapling made him stunned. At the top of the bare branch, one of the three tender leaves shook slightly, and the crystal dew on it suddenly split into a sesame-sized drop.
As soon as the dew left the sapling, it immediately turned into a ball of water light and spread out. The Qingyang divine light hanging from the Qingyang Mirror was broken inch by inch under the water light, and the Qingyang Mirror was also hit by a small amount of water light, and the dark green spiritual light on it suddenly dimmed.
Xiao Lin's face changed, and under the induction of his mind, his face suddenly turned pale.
