After an unknown amount of time, the spiritual energy in Xu Changshou's body became calm. He opened his eyes and counted on his fingers. From the time he broke through to now, it took him a total of five years to condense this drop of foundation-building true liquid. Now, Xu Changshou is thirty-two years old. If he continues at this speed, one drop of foundation-building true liquid every five years, he will have to condense ten drops of foundation-building true liquid, which will take fifty years. By that time, Xu Changshou will be eighty-two years old, still in the golden age of cultivation in the foundation-building realm, and have a chance to break through the golden elixir realm. Of course, this is under ideal conditions. After building the foundation, you have to cultivate the five qi in your chest, find the five spirits, and also find the thousand-year-old spiritual wood, which all takes time. With this calculation, it would be fast to cultivate to the great perfection of foundation-building ten years later. If you add ten more years, you will cultivate to the great perfection of foundation-building at the age of ninety-two. If you waste time on the way because you can't find the five spirits or the thousand-year-old spiritual wood, this time node will easily exceed a hundred years old.
So, time is still very tight. For example, now, Xu Changshou has handed in a five-year mission, which will expire in three or four months, and it is time to hand in the next mission. The mission assigned by the ancestor can be delayed, but not for too long. After all, Xu Changshou does not have many spirit stones. Now he has only more than 20,000 spirit stones. In the past five years, Xu Changshou's annual income has been 46,000 spirit stones. Excluding the 36,000 spirit pills per year, it stands to reason that there are still 10,000 spirit stones left in a year. But the problem is that Green Ink Peak has just got on the right track. This matter is big and there are many places to spend money. Xu Changshou still feels that he has not spent much money. 20,000 spirit stones have been invested, plus some of his own other expenses, and currently he only has more than 20,000 spirit stones. This amount of money can't last for a few years to eat the spirit pill. At present, the most important thing is to find the thousand-year spirit wood first. In addition, the matter of finding the spirit of plants and trees should also be put on the agenda. There is a sequence for condensing the five qi in the foundation-building stage. In the early stage of foundation-building, condense the spirit of wood. In the middle stage of foundation building, condense the water spirit. In the late stage of foundation building, condense the earth spirit. In the great perfection of foundation building, condense the fire spirit and the gold spirit. There is a reason to put the wood spirit first, because wood has a mild attribute and abundant vitality, which will not hurt the internal organs. If the fire spirit or the gold spirit is condensed first, these two attributes are one hot and the other sharp, and the internal organs will definitely not be able to withstand it. Therefore, put the fire spirit and the gold spirit at the end. "Don't be in a hurry to find the grass spirits, go get some thousand-year-old spirit wood first." Xu Changshou stood up and said to himself.
Now, he has only condensed two drops of foundation building true liquid, and it is not too late to find the grass spirits before condensing the fourth drop of foundation building true liquid. "Master, I have something urgent, can you let me out for a while." At this time, the voice of Hong Yi suddenly sounded beside Xu Changshou's ears. From her tone, it is not difficult to hear that she is a little anxious. Xu Changshou heard this and took a look at the formation. It was in a closed state. He quickly took out the formation plate and arranged a soundproof formation. He said, "Come out." "Thank you, Master." A red figure appeared in front of Xu Changshou and bowed slightly and said, "I am Hongyi, your servant, and I greet you, Master." "Hongyi, what are you doing..." Xu Changshou looked at Hongyi and was a little surprised. At this time, Hongyi's state was a little unstable, as if she was suppressing something. "Master, I am going to break through." "You are going to break through, and what realm are you going to break through?" "The realm of evil ghosts." "What!? You are going to break through evil ghosts!!" Xu Changshou was shocked. The realm of evil ghosts of ghost cultivators is equivalent to the Jindan cultivators of the human race, and equivalent to the Xuan-level demons of demon cultivators. The realm of ghost cultivators is the same as that of humans. It is said that humans and ghosts have different paths. In fact, the cultivation of humans and ghosts is the same. The cultivation of humans is to become immortals, and the cultivation of ghosts is also to become immortals. Before becoming immortals, ghost cultivators will first become human beings. The first few levels of ghost cultivation are wandering soul, ghost swelling, evil ghost, and ghost king, which correspond to the human cultivators' Qi refining, foundation building, golden elixir, and Nascent Soul. Ghost cultivators begin to condense their physical bodies in the ghost king level, which is the Nascent Soul level, and complete the physical body condensation in the spirit transformation level. It is exactly the opposite of the cultivation of the human race. The two levels of Nascent Soul and Spirit Transformation of the human race mainly cultivate the spirit, and rely on the strong physical body to nourish the spirit. The two levels of Nascent Soul and Spirit Transformation of ghost cultivation mainly cultivate the physical body, and condense the physical body with the strong spirit. At the level of Spirit Transformation, there is no ghost cultivation, and ghost cultivation has become a human. Therefore, the later levels of ghost cultivation are the same as those of human cultivators. If the ghost cultivator does not develop towards the human cultivation system, he will never pass the level of tribulation, and what can he do to resist the thunder tribulation without a physical body. Of course, there is still an essential difference between ghost cultivators and human cultivators. Ghost cultivators cultivate their spirits and souls, supplemented by their bodies, while humans cultivate their bodies, supplemented by their spirits 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, but they are still wandering souls.
Hong Yi seems to be an exception. According to her, she has only been conscious for a few decades, and now she is about to break through the realm of evil ghosts. Even geniuses among humans rarely cultivate so fast. Xu Changshou suspected that Hong Yi's origin was not simple before, and now his guess has been further verified. At this time, Hong Yi was obviously trying to break through. She was suppressing her state, suppressing her from breaking through. Xu Changshou said seriously: "Hong Yi, break through immediately. I will protect you. It is safe here." Hong Yi shook her head and said: "I can break through in the Soul Nurturing Jade. I don't need a guardian. But I can't break through now. When a ghost cultivator breaks through, it is easy to go astray. I need a kind of elixir from your human race to help me get through safely." "What elixir?" "Soul-soothing elixir!" Soul-soothing elixir... Xu Changshou nodded slightly. He had heard of this kind of elixir. Generally, some cultivators with too much hostility or unstable emotions would use the Soul-soothing elixir to help them break through. Hong Yi is a soul body, so it is not uncommon for her to use this kind of elixir. But this kind of elixir is generally used more by evil cultivators. Disciples of the Green Immortal Sect generally do not use this kind of elixir, and they may not be able to buy it. "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 can't suppress it. Even if there is no soul-soothing pill, I have to break through." "You enter the soul-nourishing jade first, be patient, I will go find the soul-soothing pill right away." "Thank you, master." Hongyi bowed and thanked, then entered the soul-nourishing jade. Xu Changshou casually removed the formation, summoned the flying sword, and quickly flew towards the Deacon Peak. Hongyi is going to break through, which is definitely a surprise for him. As a ghost cultivator, after breaking through the evil ghost realm, although he can't fight against the human race's golden elixir cultivators, he is absolutely invincible against the cultivators in the foundation-building realm.
