Brother Xie, he is too popular. What should I do?

Chapter 272 The middle stage of golden elixir

Feixing Valley, training room.

Xie Yunhe slowly opened his eyes and saw the familiar interior layout.

He stood up from the futon and stretched.

After meditating for so many days, he felt like his bones were rusting.

While stretching his body, Xie Yunhe recalled what had happened in the past few days.

That day, after parting with Chen Qixing, he entered the training room to practice.

This was not the first time Xie Yunhe came to the training room. As soon as he entered, he skillfully found the center of the spirit gathering array and put in several spirit stones and the unused spirit crystal.

The concentration of spiritual energy in the room increased significantly at once.

Afterwards, he entered the meditation stage, running the "Xuan Yuan Gong" in his body to straighten out the spiritual power in his meridians that had become scattered and chaotic after his promotion.

After being promoted to the Golden Core Stage, the biggest difference is the improvement in the quality of spiritual energy.

The spiritual power in the dantian, which was originally like an ocean, was also condensed into a golden elixir, floating quietly in the dantian.

The golden elixir that Xie Yunhe formed was a nine-patterned golden elixir, which was considered top-tier in the world of immortal cultivation.

The more lines there are on the golden elixir stage, the more spiritual power the golden elixir can accommodate, and the faster the spiritual power circulates.

This is reflected in combat as fast recovery of spiritual power, large spiritual power capacity, and short time to cast spells.

It was not until Xie Yunhe carefully looked within his body that he realized what his current level of cultivation was.

He thought he was at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm, but in fact, he was at the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.

If a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage knew this, he would definitely find it incredible.

To cultivate from the initial stage of foundation building to the middle stage of foundation building, if there are no resources, most cultivators will have to practice hard for several years, and this is still the case for those with good talent.

Then why is it so easy to go from the early stage of Jindan to the middle stage of Jindan?

This is actually because their vision limits their thinking.

Xie Yunhe, on the other hand, had some understanding of this.

Firstly, Master Youyue has taught me something. The Jindan stage is mainly a stage for accumulating spiritual power. Breakthrough is relatively simple and can be achieved as long as there is sufficient spiritual power.

Secondly, he had witnessed Senior Sister Hua Qinglian's promotion up close and knew about this situation.

Senior Sister Hua Qinglian was promoted to the Golden Core Stage in Baihua City at that time. After completing the promotion, she was actually already in the middle Golden Core Stage.

During her advancement to the Golden Core stage, she skipped the early Golden Core stage and reached the middle Golden Core stage.

Such situations are rare and mostly occur in some top-level immortal cultivation geniuses or people with special bloodline talents.

Senior Sister Hua once said that her talent in cultivating immortals was not the best, but in the upper-middle level.

However, Senior Sister Hua's bloodline talent is extremely good, which is specifically reflected in her natal spirit plant. At that time, she had just been promoted to the Golden Core Stage, but she caused the thunder tribulation that only occurs in the Yuanying Stage. This is enough to demonstrate her talent.

Now, Senior Sister Hua’s natal spiritual plant, the Nine Heavens Blue Lotus, has been recognized by the venerables as having the ability to dispel evil spirits.

This further proves that Senior Sister Hua's bloodline talent is extremely extraordinary. This alone is enough to allow her to enter the circle of top geniuses.

Xie Yunhe knows several more examples.

For example, Qin Yu, the protagonist of the original book, Xie Yunhe remembered that in the original book's plot, Qin Yu also skipped the early stage of Jindan.

After being promoted to the Golden Core Stage, one will directly reach the Middle Golden Core Stage.

That’s because Qin Yu has a special physique—a natural sword bone.

Everyone who is born with a sword bone has a natural talent for swordsmanship. They are born to use swords.

This is a special physical talent, one in a million.

It is also like Li Ye in the original book, who also has a special physique. After entering the Jindan stage, he directly reached the middle Jindan stage.

Xie Yunhe thought that Chen Qixing should be the same.

When he was promoted to the Golden Core Stage, it was so grand that it caused a thunder tribulation.

Although it is not clear whether he has any special talents, he should have something special.

As for Xie Yunhe himself?

He knew very well that he had no special physique, special talent, or special bloodline.

It's not that they were born with sword bones. The system says that the bones of this kind of people are full of sword energy, and the sword spirit and Taoist rhyme flow in their bones.

After hearing the definition of the natural sword bone, Xie Yunhe said: ...

Xie Yunhe looked inside his meridians and bones and found no such signs, just like a normal person.

relieved.

After eliminating all the possibilities, he found that he should be one of those people with a higher understanding of kendo.

Because he remembered that the reason he was able to advance to the Golden Core Stage was because of a natural breakthrough.

His breakthrough was caused by the sword strike by Master Youyue, and it was a breakthrough during sudden enlightenment.

Now that I think about it, that would be a very difficult situation to replicate.

After Xie Yunhe sorted it out, he finally found out with uncertainty that he should belong to the top immortal cultivation geniuses?

The system is not surprised.

It also explained to Xie Yunhe what a top-level genius in cultivation was.

In the eyes of most cultivators, people with superior spiritual roots are geniuses, but this is not the case.

Top-level immortal cultivation geniuses are judged based on a comprehensive assessment of their spiritual roots, physique, spirit, comprehension, and will.

Xie Yunhe might be slightly deficient in spiritual roots, but he clearly makes up for this shortcoming in terms of comprehension.

Therefore, it is normal to be promoted to the middle stage of the Golden Core.

When Xie Yunhe was promoted to the Golden Core Stage, strange phenomena occurred in the heaven and earth.

Including the golden giant crane sword shadow, the ringing of the Taoist bell and the golden Taoist rain.

The sword shadow improved Xie Yunhe's sword intent and sword experience. He has been slowly digesting what the sword shadow left behind these days.

It is said that the ringing of the Dao Bell can enhance the strength of a person's soul. Xie Yunhe himself did not feel anything in terms of soul, but the system felt much more energetic.

Dao Rain can temporarily improve comprehension and speed up the absorption of spiritual power. Dao Rain itself is similar to spiritual crystal and is a resource for cultivation.

On the day Xie Yunhe was promoted, many other cultivators were also promoted and achieved breakthroughs.

He himself got caught in a lot of rain.

The spiritual energy in the Dao rain is still accumulating in Xie Yunhe's body, and has been transformed into his own spiritual power through cultivation over the past few days.

The golden elixir, which was originally just slightly fat, became even rounder after absorbing the Dao rain.

However, during the process of cultivation, the golden elixir will gradually become thinner and more solid.

Xie Yunhe knew that this was a process of refining spiritual power, similar to the foundation-building stage.

In short, Xie Yunhe stayed in the training room to consolidate his cultivation.

Only now did he feel that he had completely stabilized his middle Jindan realm, and only then did he stop practicing.

Xie Yunhe asked the system in his mind.

[How many days have I been practicing?]

He was immersed in cultivation, so he had no sense of the passage of time.

But the system is different. It knows how many days have passed in the outside world.

[Host, you have been practicing for twenty days! ]

The system answered happily in Xie Yunhe's mind.

Twenty days!

Even though Xie Yunhe was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the length of this time.

It felt to him like only one day had passed.

This may be what is meant by the saying "no time passes in the cultivation of immortals". For immortal cultivators, time really passes in the blink of an eye.

After sighing that time passed so quickly, Xie Yunhe came to the training ground in the training room.

Yes, the training room here in Feixing Valley comes with a martial arts training ground.

Of course, it was much smaller than the martial arts training ground he had seen at Master Youyue's place.

The advantage is that it has both a training room and a martial arts field, which is equivalent to a private room, and you don’t have to share the martial arts field with other people.

Xie Yunhe had also seen a similar room setup in the meditation room in the Gulan Secret Realm.

It might be the common version in the world of immortal cultivation, Xie Yunhe guessed.

The martial arts arena naturally has familiar weapon racks and sword-sharpening stone walls.

It just so happened that he had been promoted to the middle stage of the Golden Core, and his cultivation had now stabilized, but Xie Yunhe had not practiced sword for more than half a month.

Now let’s practice in the training ground.

By the way, use the sword-grinding stone wall to test what level your attack strength has reached.

Xie Yunhe took a wooden sword and practiced sword fighting for two hours.

Start by swinging the sword and practice the sword techniques such as chopping, slashing, stabbing, lifting, and poking.

This is one of the basic trainings that Master Youyue gave him.

After all, no matter how advanced the swordsmanship is, it is actually composed of many basic movements, and Xie Yunhe must master them proficiently.

Next is to practice the Tianjian Sect's basic sword technique "Asking the Sky Thirteen Swords". Although this sword technique has been eliminated by Xie Yunhe, the basic sword technique itself has the function of a basic sword technique.

It was only after Master Youyue’s explanation that Xie Yunhe realized that “The Thirteen Swords of Heaven” was a sword technique created by the founder of the Tianjian Sect. The sword technique combined basic movements into a set of sword techniques in a simple and clear way.

For many beginners, only this set of sword techniques can help them understand all the sword movements. It is an entry-level sword technique.

There is no harm in practicing more.

Finally, Xie Yunhe began to practice "Twenty-Four Solar Terms Sword".

Only when Xie Yunhe felt he had completed warm-up did he come to the sword-sharpening stone wall.

Before being attacked, the sword-grinding stone wall was gray and appeared gray-black all day long.

Xie Yunhe remembered what Master Youyue had said to him.

The sword-grinding stone wall is made of materials including rainbow stone, which has seven colors inside.

Different attack strengths can reveal different colors.

For example, before his promotion, Xie Yunhe could hit an attack strength of 300 to 350 stones.

That was a full-strength attack that required the addition of sword intent.

In terms of strength, he has surpassed the average cultivator who has reached the great perfection of the foundation-building stage.

The attack strength of an ordinary Jindan stage cultivator is as follows:

300 stones in the early stage, 1000 stones in the middle stage, and 3000 stones in the late stage.

With each small realm passed, the strength at least tripled, and this is only the basic attack strength of the average Jindan stage.

If you add the bonus of martial arts, sword intent, magic weapon, etc., this value can be further increased.

It is difficult to know the exact strength of these attacks if they have not been tested.

Therefore, the sword-sharpening stone wall has become a common prop for monks to test their strength.

Xie Yunhe is now in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, but he has no idea how strong his attack is at the moment.

It is very fatal not to know your own strength.

So after finishing the warm-up, he immediately tested the strength of his attack.

"Shh-"

Xie Yunhe used the most commonly used and most energy-saving Lichun sword move!

The gray surface of the sword-grinding stone wall gradually disappeared with the arrival of sword energy, revealing its colorful interior.

The yellow interlayer brings out a large area of green.

Xie Yunhe took a look and found that he was no longer the Xiaobai from the beginning.

He estimated the proportion of green in the sword marks.

——About 1500 stones.

The Sword Sharpening Stone Wall has seven layers. The first layer is red and can be penetrated by 10 stones. The second layer is orange and can be penetrated by 100 stones. The third layer is yellow and can be penetrated by 500 stones. The fourth layer is green and can be penetrated by 3000 stones.

Xie Yunhe's attack has exceeded the yellow 500 stone range, but has not yet completely exceeded the green 3000 stone range.

Therefore, the color of the stone wall is yellow with green.

The attack strength of 3000 stones is only available in the late Jindan stage.

The current attack power of the Lichun sword move is about 1500 stones, which is the attack power with the sword move bonus.

However, Xie Yunhe has not yet used his full strength and is just trying it out.

He moved his wrist, and the Linghe Sword in his hand swayed with his movement.

Xie Yunhe calmed down and focused his attention on the sword-sharpening stone wall.

All the spiritual power flowed into the Linghe Sword.

Sword energy surges and sword intent lingers.

The freely retractable spring sword intent attached to the sword energy at least doubled the power of the sword.

The temperature in the training ground gradually rose.

After spring comes summer.

The continuous spring rain turned into the hot summer rain.

Humidity and heat appear together in one solar term.

Water-type spiritual power and fire-type spiritual power appeared on the Linghe Sword at the same time.

The spiritual powers that were supposed to restrain each other merged together and were released with Xie Yunhe's move!

Lixia Sword!

"boom!"

This movement was much louder than the previous Lichun Sword.

Xie Yunhe saw a large area of green appearing on the sword-grinding stone wall.

——3000 shi.

At the same time, the spiritual power in his body also decreased by one-fifth.

In other words, if you use all your strength, you will run out of spiritual power after five times at most.

Of course, this was because Xie Yunhe used the sword intent when he used the Lixia Sword, and the consumption doubled.

He made a rough estimate and concluded that if different sword intents were added, he could probably use it ten times, but the power would definitely not be as strong as this one.

and……

Xie Yunhe frowned. He felt that the bonus of the Sword Intent of Spring to the Beginning of Summer Sword might not be as great as the bonus to the Beginning of Spring Sword.

To confirm my ideas.

He tried again, using the Beginning Spring Sword while simultaneously activating the Sword Intent of Spring.

"boom!"

Another hole appeared on the sword-grinding stone wall.

A hint of yellow shows through the green.

——2500 shi!

Compared with the initial 1500 stones, it has increased by 1000 stones. This is the bonus brought by the Sword Intent of Spring.

It is clearly the weakest of the twenty-four solar term swords. However, if it possesses the appropriate sword intent, its power is only 500 stones less than that of the seventh sword, the Rikka Sword.

In any case, Xie Yunhe has tested his limits.

When using full strength, it can reach the attack strength of 3000 stones, which is the level of the late Jindan stage.

If he fights desperately, Xie Yunhe can use the sword intent of killing, and the attack intensity should be increased a little.
