Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 73 Open
More than three months passed, and Li Zhen had a rare period of peace and stability.

More than 60 days ago, his spiritual power reached , and he was already at the full third level of Qi training.

After that, he was stuck at the bottleneck of breaking through the fourth level from the third level of Qi training. If he could not feel that the spiritual power in his body became more condensed after each practice, he would have wanted to take the "Breakthrough Pill".

The advancement from the third level to the fourth level of Qi training is an extremely important breakthrough, and it is the dividing line from the early stage to the middle stage of Qi training.

Don't underestimate the initial and middle stages of Qi training. The initial stage of Qi training is just the stage of laying the foundation. By the middle stage of Qi training, the cultivator has greatly enhanced in all aspects, and the strength is incomparable.

Li Zhen locked himself in the bedroom. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Last December, Yunxi County was attacked by monsters. Li Zhen obtained three storage bags from the Jiutian Group auction. Now the spiritual imprints of the three storage bags have completely dissipated.

In fact, this was because his cultivation was too weak. If his cultivation was higher, he could use his own spirit to actively erase the spiritual imprint on the storage bag.

Li Zhen did not take out the storage bag. Both the storage bag and the spiritual objects inside the storage bag might be tracked by the Jiutian Group.

Although Yunxi County has been very peaceful recently and everything has returned to normal, the investigation into that incident has never stopped.

Especially for the Jiutian Group, the annual auction was disrupted and the auction items were robbed, which had a very bad impact on the reputation of the Jiutian Group.

The monks handed over their treasures to the annual auction, which showed their trust in Jiutian Group, but Jiutian Group betrayed this trust.

In other words, this is an annual county-level auction, and the impact it causes is not that great.

Li Zhen is aware of this, and he will not easily take out the spiritual objects in the storage bag from the Dragon Heart Space.

His mind entered the first storage bag, and he was immediately shocked by the spiritual object inside.

His knowledge was quite high, and he had seized many spiritual objects by trickery and force. Both the quality and quantity of the spiritual objects he possessed far exceeded the level expected at his level.

But when he saw the spiritual objects in the storage bag, he was still shocked. There were so many of them.

However, considering that this is an annual auction, it is normal that the quantity is large and the quality is high.

Since he had a detailed introduction to the items being auctioned, he could roughly guess the condition of the spiritual objects he had obtained, but it was still a huge difference from actually seeing them with his own eyes.

He did not take inventory immediately, but instead took out all the spiritual objects in the first storage bag into the Dragon Heart Space, and then took out all the spiritual objects in the second and third storage bags into the Dragon Heart Space.

He separated out a separate area in the Dragon Heart Space and stored these spiritual objects.

Among this batch of spiritual objects, there are almost no first-level low-grade magical instruments. Even if they are first-level mid-grade magical instruments, they are only top-notch ones, otherwise they would not be eligible to be put up for auction.

He first searched for the most precious spiritual objects. Even though there were many spiritual objects of high quality, not many of them could attract his attention.

"There are only two 'Breaking Acupoint Pills'. It seems that the 'Foundation Building Pills' in the rumored auction are fake!" Li Zhen searched through them, shook his head helplessly and muttered to himself.

He also knew that he was greedy, but this greed was inevitable.

He knew how difficult it was for a Qi-cultivating cultivator to build a foundation. Without the "Foundation-Building Pill", it would be almost certain that a Qi-cultivating cultivator would die if he tried to build a foundation by force.

In addition to increasing the chances of Qi training cultivators breaking through to the foundation-building stage, the 'Foundation-Building Pill' can also protect Qi training cultivators from being seriously injured or even dying during the promotion process.

Therefore, the "Foundation Building Pill" is the most precious elixir in the Qi training period, without a doubt. And due to the scarcity of the raw materials of the "Foundation Building Pill", the "Foundation Building Pill" cannot meet the needs of the peak Qi training cultivators in the Immortal Kingdom at all. The "Foundation Building Pill" has always been in a situation of being priced but not sold.

Of course, the 'Breakthrough Pill' is not bad either. Just look at how many late-stage Qi training cultivators there are in Yunxi County. Every late-stage Qi training cultivator is a person of high status in the county.

The reason why there are few cultivators in the late stage of Qi training is mainly because the bottleneck from the sixth level to the seventh level is too difficult to overcome.

Theoretically, low-grade spiritual roots can be promoted to the late stage of Qi training, but the chance of promotion is very low, and this is with the help of the "Breaking Acupoint Pill". If there is really no "Breaking Acupoint Pill" to help, the chance of low-grade spiritual roots being promoted to the late stage of Qi training is only one in ten, and the consequences of failed promotion are even more serious.

The middle-grade spiritual root is better, but there is still a bottleneck when advancing to the late stage of Qi training. Without the help of the "Breaking Acupoint Pill", it is hard to say when the bottleneck will be broken. Although the "Breaking Acupoint Pill" is not as good as the "Foundation Pill", it is also a pill that Qi training cultivators crave. Li Zhen got two pills, at least he does not need to worry about the bottleneck when he advances to the late stage of Qi training.

Of course, if you can avoid taking pills, it is best not to take them to break through.

He was at the full state of the initial stage of Qi training at this moment, and was more aware of the changes taking place in his body and how beneficial it was to his cultivation.

Recently, he has been in a bottleneck, and his understanding of the 'Seventeenth Edition of the Basic Qi Training Method' has been greatly enhanced. His control over wood spiritual power and gold spiritual power has also been continuously improving.

If he takes the 'Breakthrough Pill' to force a breakthrough, he will miss out on the insights gained during this period. In addition, some of the spiritual medicines in the breakthrough pill will develop drug resistance, which will have a certain impact on his advancement to the foundation-building stage.

Although the drug resistance produced by taking the 'Breakthrough Pill' has little effect on the 'Foundation Building Pill', even the slightest impact may be fatal when advancing to the Foundation Building Stage.

Li Zhen shook his head and put away the two "Breakthrough Pills".

He found another first-grade top-quality magical weapon. There were six first-grade top-quality magical weapons in this batch of spiritual objects, but the other five were mass-produced magical weapons.

This type of mass-produced first-grade high-quality magic weapon will be bound to an identity bracelet. If it is used in the fairyland, it will be easily discovered.

As for using it in another world, due to the special nature of the fairyland's mass-produced magic tools, he will try not to use them in another world to avoid causing trouble.

The first-grade, top-quality magic weapon he chose was a needle-shaped magic weapon, and it was also the only custom-made magic weapon.

Needle-shaped magic weapons are mainly used for sneak attacks, and few monks use needle-shaped magic weapons in head-on combat.

The disadvantages of needle-shaped magic weapons are obvious. Their small size makes them easy to defend against in frontal combat. Their advantage is also that their small size makes attacks more covert, making them more convenient and practical in sneak attacks.

This needle-shaped, top-grade magical weapon was called the Armor-Breaking Life-Chasing Needle, and he decided to keep it for his own use.

It’s a pity that with his level of cultivation, he cannot use the ‘Armor-Breaking Life-Chasing Needle’ yet. He has to wait until he is promoted to the middle stage of Qi training before he can use the ‘Armor-Breaking Life-Chasing Needle’.

The good news is that perhaps in a few days he will be able to advance to the middle stage of Qi training, and by then he will have a suitable offensive weapon.

The reason why the 'Armor-Breaking Life-Chasing Needle' is a suitable offensive magic weapon is that, generally speaking, a top-grade magic weapon can only exert its maximum power when used by a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training.

Given the spiritual energy consumption required by ordinary high-grade magic tools, a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training would not be able to last for too long. Once too much spiritual energy is consumed in battle, the consequences will be extremely serious.

But the needle-shaped high-quality magical weapons are different. Due to their small size, the spiritual power they consume is relatively much less, making them suitable for use in the middle stage of Qi training.

Li Zhen found some auxiliary pills for cultivation from a pile of spiritual objects, including top-grade "Yangqi Pills" and mid-grade "Yellow Bud Pills". There were six bottles of "Yangqi Pills" with sixty pills, and only one bottle of "Yellow Bud Pills" with ten pills.

'Qi-nourishing Pills' are auxiliary pills for cultivators in the middle stage of Qi training. Sixty pills are relatively few for Yunxi County, but the elixirs that can be auctioned have their own special features. 'Qi-nourishing Pills' are of top quality, which is extremely rare.

'Yellow Bud Pill' is an auxiliary pill for the cultivation of cultivators in the late stage of Qi training. This type of pill is more difficult to distribute to Yunxi County.

Afterwards, he found the 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Array' he had always wanted, which was an array that could increase the speed of cultivation.

Li Zhen checked the talismans among the pile of spiritual objects again. The talismans that could be auctioned included some medium-quality talismans that were sold in large quantities and some fine-quality talismans.

As he looked at the exquisite talisman, his eyes lit up. The exquisite talisman was truly of real help to him.

For example, a top-grade "Fireball Talisman" means that other cultivators have an extra powerful fireball attack in their hands that can be unleashed all at once.

But in his hands, by swallowing the top-grade 'Fireball Talisman' through the Dragon Heart Space, he can greatly enhance his understanding of the 'Fireball Technique'.

A talisman maker who can make a top-grade 'Fireball Talisman' is at least a first-class top-grade talisman maker, and has reached a level above 'Xiao Fa' in mastering the 'Fireball Technique'.
