Chapter 212 Three Extremes
For Si Mingwu, Xu Ji was a great favor to him. After all, if it hadn't been for Xu Ji's intervention, he would have died in the hands of that group of robbery cultivators, and probably not even his bones would be left behind. Knowing this After Xu Ji was severely injured by the backlash from his spiritual consciousness, Si Mingwu naturally would not be reluctant to part with the life-saving elixir he had previously exchanged.

Xu Ji smiled and shook his head, rejecting Si Mingwu's kindness, and said: "The injury to the consciousness is not too serious, so there is no need to take any additional pills. Tianhanxiang is enough. I The reason why I want to redeem more Tianhanxiang is just because I will need it for my future cultivation, so I thought of redeeming it in advance.”

Si Mingwu nodded when he heard the words, but he didn't believe Xu Ji's words in his heart. Although Tianhanxiang did have the effect of assisting the practice of skills, its cost performance was far inferior to that of Ranshenxiang. If it was used to assist training in exchange for burning Wouldn’t divine incense be more appropriate?
What Xu Ji said about being useful in future cultivation is probably an excuse. The real situation is probably that the injury was serious and he needed a lot of Tianhanxiang to restore the damage to his consciousness. The reason why he didn't want to accept his elixir was probably because he didn't want to. I know that he feels guilty because he and others were seriously injured because of his injuries. How noble and honorable this is! ?
And Si Mingwu, who thought he understood Xu Ji's thoughts, naturally would not expose it anymore. In addition to the original gratitude, his eyes looked at Xu Ji with a little more respect, and he said: "The sky inside the camp. The reserve of Hanxiang is only 1200 sticks, and each stick is sold for battle merits. With Xu Ji’s accumulated battle merits plus the battle merits previously rewarded by the Immortal Alliance, it is just enough to exchange them all.”

In fact, although he had the military exploits rewarded by the Immortal Alliance, it was not enough to exchange for 100 Tianhan Incense. Si Mingwu planned to make up for the shortfall himself, but Si Mingwu obviously did not intend to tell Xu Ji about it. , otherwise if Xu Ji knew about it and stopped him, wouldn't he be unable to even repay him?
Although Xu Ji didn't understand why Si Mingwu suddenly looked at him with a little more reverence, he couldn't help being slightly surprised when he heard that his existing combat merits were 120,000. It seemed that the Immortal Alliance had not only In addition to the high-quality Xuanling Crystal, there are also many military achievements that can be rewarded to oneself.

Xu Ji happily took the hundred Tianhanxiang sticks from Simingwu and carefully put them into his stored magic weapon. Then he said goodbye directly to Simingwu and went to the camp where Niu Qianhu was, planning to Find Niu Qianhu to receive the high-quality Xuanling Crystal rewarded by the Immortal Alliance.

After several pleasantries, Niu Qianhu directly handed over the high-quality Xuanling Crystals rewarded by the Immortal Alliance to Xu Ji, and said with a smile: "Xu Ji, the Xuanling Crystals rewarded by the Immortal Alliance this time are not just Seven Refining Xuanling Crystals. The spiritual crystal is the Nine-Refined Mysterious Spirit Crystal. Its effect is stronger than the Seven-Refined Mysterious Spirit Crystal, and I think it will be more helpful to you."

Xu Ji looked surprised. Originally, he only planned to ask for some Seventh Refinement Xuanling Crystal to transition, but he didn't expect that the Immortal Alliance would directly give him the Ninth Refinement Xuanling Crystal in one step. This saved him a lot of effort, and his spiritual consciousness couldn't wait. Scanning the stored magic weapon that Niu Qianhu handed over, he found that in addition to ten pieces of Nine Refining Xuanling Crystals, there were also a lot of scattered cultivation resources, and the smile on his face couldn't help but grow a little wider.

"I see that your breath is still a little weak now, so you can just rest assured and heal your wounds. Don't worry about the mission." Niu Qianhu patted Xu Ji's shoulder.

When the personnel of the Immortal League arrived earlier, in addition to giving rewards to Xu Ji and others for investigating the robbery cultivator, they also strictly investigated all the monks in the No. 72 Xuanling Mine. After all, seven hundred households went to Leiming Pass. There were two spies among them. At this rate, the entire camp would have been infiltrated into a plug.

Fortunately, after a strict review, no problems were found in other monks. Maybe the only ones with problems in the No. 72 Xuanling Mine are Ming Maoqing and Feng Shixiu, and they also plan to finish the work. They left directly after this vote, so they boarded the spirit boat together. In addition, there was no real loss this time, so Niu Qianhu, as the general person in charge of the nd Xuanling Mine, did not receive much blame.

Therefore, Niu Qianhu is also grateful to Xu Ji. Although it is not a life-saving grace like Si Qianhu, it can still be regarded as helping him resolve a big trouble. Naturally, he will not deliberately embarrass Xu Ji, but let him Its peace of mind heals.

With Niu Qianhu's words, Xu Ji felt relieved and could continue to practice in the room with peace of mind. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something and asked: "Niu Qianhu, do you know that this inheritance secret realm will still be there?" How long will it last?”

Xu Ji originally thought that his recruitment this time would only last for a few months at most. After all, the secret realm of inheritance had been opened once before after the death of Taoist Master Chongxu. The time was not very long, but this time it had lasted for several months but it was still Xu Ji couldn't help but be a little confused as to whether there was any news, and Niu Qianhu, as the general person in charge of the No. 72 Xuanling Mine, although his cultivation level was also at the Foundation Establishment level, he should be more familiar with the news.

Niu Qianhu shook his head and said: "I haven't received any specific news yet, but I think the duration of the inheritance secret realm should not exceed one year at most. Maybe the inheritance secret realm will be reopened in a few months. When the foundation-building cultivators inside return to the battlefield, the recruitment will be lifted."

Having said this, Niu Qianhu smiled again: "Xu Ji, you are a student of Xianling Taoist Academy. You should return to Xianling Taoist Academy after the recruitment is lifted, right? With your talent, maybe next time we meet, you can I need to call you a real person."

Xu Ji shook his head and said with a smile: "Niu Qianhu is joking. Niu Qianhu can be responsible for a resource point. If he wants to go very deep above the ninth level of foundation building, he is probably only one step away from breaking through the golden elixir." When Niu Qianhu heard this, he shook his head and sighed: "How difficult is the golden elixir? Even if it is only one step away, the difference is huge. With my qualifications, I'm afraid. There is no hope in this life that I can get a glimpse of Jin Dan’s true state.”

Seeing Niu Qianhu so pessimistic and negative, Xu Ji couldn't help but wonder. Before, his cultivation level was still shallow. Although he knew that it was extremely difficult to break through the golden elixir, but now he saw that Niu Qianhu had already established the ninth level of foundation and was only one step away from breaking through the golden elixir. Yao was so pessimistic that he naturally couldn't help but be curious. However, asking Niu Qianhu directly would be like rubbing salt into his wounds, so Xu Ji did not speak, but suppressed his doubts in his heart, planning to find someone else later. Ask people, or check the information yourself.

Perhaps Niu Qianhu saw the confusion on Xu Ji's face, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said: "Xu Ji, you are a student in Xianling Taoist Academy. With your talent, I am afraid that you will not be able to study in Xianling Taoist Academy." They are all among the best, so they don’t have to worry about breaking through the golden elixir.”

"I was also a student at the Chenyan Taoist Academy in the Nine Great Schools. When I condensed the Dao Foundation to break through the foundation building, I compressed the spiritual energy three times to condense the Red Flawless Dao Foundation. Although according to records, it is also possible to break through the Golden elixir, but I At this point, I realize that this is as out of reach as the moon in the water or the flower in the mirror. Even if I later condensed the Houtian Earth Spirit Dao Body, I still cannot reach the realm of the golden elixir. "

Listening to Niu Qianhu's emotion, Xu Ji couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart and asked: "Isn't it rumored that condensing the acquired Taoist body can increase the chance of forming a pill by 20%? If you add the red Taoist foundation and With the assistance of elixirs for forming pills, the probability of forming pills should be close to 40%.”

Niu Qianhu shook his head and said: "You only know one but not the other. The chance of forming an elixir is nearly 40%, but who has ever said that as long as you successfully form an elixir, you can break through to the golden elixir?"

Xu Ji was slightly startled when he heard this. This really touched upon his blind spot of knowledge. Listening to Niu Qianhu's words, does breaking through the golden elixir require other preparations besides successfully forming the elixir?
Niu Qianhu slowly opened his mouth and explained: "Three poles are needed to break through the golden elixir. The first is the heart pole, the second is the spiritual pole, and the third is the spiritual pole. However, forming the elixir only reaches the spiritual pole, which is the simplest of the three poles. One of them, the remaining ones are the heart and the spirit.”

"The real person is indifferent, breathing alone with the Tao, interpreting the remains of wisdom, and detached from himself; the outline is suddenly desolate, soaring with the Tao. This is the extreme of the heart, a transcendent state of mind. Only by possessing such a transcendent state of mind can one Only by not letting one's own mind be eroded by the spiritual pole can one control one's spiritual energy behind the spiritual pole. Otherwise, if one does not reach the spiritual pole, he will condense the golden elixir and cannot control the golden elixir he has condensed. Under the backlash of the spiritual energy, even if he condenses the golden elixir, So what? It’s also a word for death!”

"As for Shenji, it is the highest of the three extremes. God refers to the minor magical powers, and Shenda is capable of everything. If you want to reach Shenji, you must cultivate your minor magical powers to the extreme. In other words, It is necessary to practice the illusory world of small magical powers into reality, and the essence of the illusory world of small magical powers represents the extension of the Dao foundation condensed when breaking through the foundation building. Its upper limit is linked to the quality of the Dao foundation, and although the red Dao foundation is There is no chance that the practice may become real, but it is like a mirror in the mirror.”

"Heart, spirit, and spirit are the three poles when they reach their extreme. Through the sublimation of the body driven by the breakthrough of the golden elixir, the three interact with each other to condense their own Tao seeds. Only then can it be regarded as a true breakthrough. It has reached the level of Jindan Zhenren.”

Listening to Niu Qianhu's explanation, Xu Ji was also slightly dumbfounded. He didn't expect that breaking through the golden elixir would be so complicated, but after thinking about it, he thought it was reasonable. After all, the Jindan Master looked at the entire Immortal Alliance and there were less than 100,000 people. If the Red Dao Foundation and the condensed Houtian Dao Body have a 20% chance of breaking through the Jindan, then there will never be less than 100,000 Jindan real people in the Immortal Alliance.

After all, the Nine Avenues Academy recruits millions of new students every year. Even if only 1% of them can compress their spiritual energy three times to break through the foundation with the red Dao foundation, and condense the Houtian Dao body in the foundation building stage, there are still tens of thousands. People, and tens of thousands every year.

"But ordinary people need to reach the Spiritual, Heart, and Divine Ultimates to break through the Golden Elixir. So when I use the proficiency panel to break through the Golden Elixir, do I also need to reach the three extremes at the same time?" Xu Ji couldn't help but think.
