Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 96: Strength Expansion
Zhou Qing originally only had spirit stones available five or six days a month, and his cultivation speed was ultimately limited, so he could only increase his spiritual pressure by four inches per month.

After enjoying the treatment of a formal formation master, he suddenly had twenty more mid-grade spirit stones. Although he had to use a large part of them to improve his mind, the remaining part was still enough to greatly increase his cultivation speed.

During these twenty days, his spiritual pressure increased by seven or eight inches, and he reached the perfection of the first level of Qi Refining in an instant.

In this case, Zhou Qing decided to advance to the second level of Qi Refining first, and then consider the formation problem.

After all, cultivation is the foundation of everything, especially the foundation of longevity. In Zhou Qing's mind, everything else has to take a back seat.

Zhou Qing began to recall the content of the advancement of small and medium realms in Floating Clouds and Sun.

The practice of Qi Refining is essentially the absorption and compression of spiritual energy.

Normal practice is the process of absorbing spiritual energy and integrating it with one's own mind.

Once the spiritual energy reaches the limit that the meridians can accommodate, it means that a realm has been reached. One needs to break through to the next realm before continuing to practice.

The process of breakthrough is the process of compression.

Compress the originally surging spiritual energy into a more condensed strand of spiritual energy.

Zhou Qing originally had no doubts about the description of the exercises.

But when he learned to use the magnetic field to compress spiritual energy, he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of doubt.

Because the compressed spiritual energy is extremely violent and unstable, if the breakthrough in realm is just to compress the spiritual energy, it is equivalent to creating a huge unstable bomb in one's body.

However, all the cultivators at high levels in the world of immortal cultivation have stated that there is no problem with this path.

So Zhou Qing couldn't help but suspect that there must be something else mysterious about this.

It's hard to explain unless he has experienced it himself.

The compression of spiritual energy requires the heart of Tao as the true fire and the vibration of the meridians as the inducement.

Ordinary cultivators often have unstable spiritual hearts, which leads to insufficient heat when breaking through. They are unable to compress the spiritual energy successfully, and instead cause the spiritual energy to run wild, break through the meridians, and die.

Therefore, before a breakthrough, a cultivator often needs to make adequate preparations to keep his or her Dao heart in good condition.

This preparation time is even longer than the normal practice time.

Zhou Qing didn't feel that he needed to prepare anything.

The daily meditation to clear his mind has always kept his heart of Tao clear and firm. Recently, he has been tempered by the eternal suffering several times, which has made his heart of Tao as strong as diamond.

So Zhou Qing planned to try to break through immediately.

He sat cross-legged on the couch, sensing the state of the spiritual energy in his body, then practiced his skills and vibrated his meridians.

The spiritual energy in his body had already reached its limit, and the narrow meridians squeezed the vast spiritual energy, causing it to gradually become unstable.

Now the meridians are trembling, instantly disrupting the order of spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy began to conflict randomly in the meridians.

This was the most dangerous time in the breakthrough, and almost all casualties occurred at this time.

If the cultivator's heart is strong enough to guide the chaotic spiritual energy in the direction of compression, he can break through in one fell swoop.

If your heart is not strong enough to control your spiritual energy, even gods will not be able to save you.

Zhou Qing's heart was as calm as a well, and his consciousness, as tough as steel, swept through his body's spiritual energy and gathered it towards the center of his meridians.

The spiritual energy became tighter and tighter, and more and more agitated.

Suddenly something unexpected happened.

The powerful and violent spiritual energy suddenly compressed towards the center without the need to control it with the mind of Tao. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a more refined, more condensed, and more dangerous spiritual energy.

Zhou Qing was stunned for a moment, then used magnetic field sensing to observe this compressed spiritual energy.

He quickly understood what had happened.

A breakthrough in realm is not simply a compression of spiritual energy.

Simply compressing the spiritual energy will only compress it to a dangerous and violent level.

However, the realm breakthrough is accompanied by the self-collapse of spiritual energy.

The aura will collapse into a more stable, more condensed state.

This collapse phenomenon cannot occur in the natural environment, but can only occur in the meridians of cultivators.

Because the cultivator's mind, described by Zhou Qing's concept, is the cultivator's own electromagnetic signal, which provides the necessary guidance for the collapse of spiritual energy.

Without this guidance, there would be no direction of collapse.

No wonder cultivators have to spend a lot of time adjusting their Dao heart before breaking through.

If the electromagnetic signal is not restored to a stable and pure state, the collapse of spiritual energy will have no direction at all.

Since the spiritual energy that has been disturbed by the tremors in the meridians cannot find a direction to collapse, the only option is to run away.

Zhou Qing smiled and shook his head, then stood up as if nothing had happened.

These have nothing to do with him. Breaking through a small realm is just like ordinary practice for him.

Zhou Qing sensed his own condition and was pleasantly surprised to find that he had undergone earth-shaking changes in every aspect.

In terms of cultivation, while the amount of spiritual energy within him remained largely unchanged, the collapsed energy was now more accessible and more powerful. He particularly felt his physical condition had improved significantly, as if a more abundant vitality was within him, allowing him to further his journey in life.

Zhou Qing understood that this was the change he had always dreamed of, breaking through the limits of lifespan.

In addition to spiritual practice, the magnetic field ability has also been greatly improved.

The range of the magnetic field suddenly expanded to two meters, and the intensity increased by nearly one-fold.

The expansion of the range and the increase in intensity also mean an increase in the speed of cultivation.

Zhou Qing immediately tried to circulate his Qi, and as expected, he found that his cultivation speed had indeed increased significantly.

Before, his normal cultivation speed was probably only about the same as that of a cultivator with four spiritual roots, because he could cultivate for one hour longer than others every day, which made his daily cultivation effect similar to that of a cultivator with six spiritual roots.

Now, his normal cultivation speed has reached the level of eight spiritual roots. Combined with the extra time he spends practicing every day, he has been able to reach the level of twelve spiritual roots.

If the factor of spirit stones is added, he is more efficient in using spirit stones than others, and he also has more spirit stones. His cultivation speed is at least several times faster than others.

If he could increase his magnetic field so drastically every time he was promoted, his cultivation speed would soon surpass that of his peers, leaving them no where to be seen. Even the chosen ones of the Taoist temples and palaces would be no less capable than him.

Of course, the improvement of the magnetic field affects more than just the speed of cultivation.

All his abilities that rely on magnetic fields will be enhanced.

The absolute speed of the Iron Ball Technique cannot be increased due to the limitations of the material, but its acceleration time is greatly shortened.

More importantly, Zhou Qing discovered that he could finally accelerate two iron balls at the same time.

He has been able to differentiate magnetic fields for a long time, and now he can even separate seventeen magnetic fields at the same time.

But after the magnetic fields differentiate, their respective intensities will also decrease.

He couldn't use the differentiated magnetic field to accelerate the iron ball to thirty times the speed of sound.

But now that his magnetic field capabilities have improved, he can finally do this.

Firing two iron balls at thirty times the speed of sound at the same time has greatly improved both the power and the hit rate compared to before.

In addition to the Iron Ball Technique, the increase in the range and intensity of the magnetic field also increases the power of the Five-Colored Divine Light several times.

Theoretically, if the radius of the magnetic field is doubled, the volume of the sphere will increase to eight times its previous size.

In other words, the amount of spiritual energy he can compress is eight times that of before, and the corresponding power of the five-colored divine light should also be increased eight times.

Considering that the increase in magnetic field strength allows him to compress the spiritual energy even higher, the compressed spiritual energy is also more powerful.

All in all, the power of his five-colored divine light could probably be increased at least tenfold.

Such power is likely to have already touched the bottom line of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Apart from the shorter attack range, this is really a perfect method.

Zhou Qing carefully checked his trump cards. He had the Iron Ball Technique for distance defense, the Five-Colored Divine Light for close range defense, and the Eternal Calamity Sinking Formation for self-defense. Although it could not be said to be impregnable, it was still a good foundation.

He still lacks two things now, one is the escape skill, and the other is the detection skill to detect the enemy's traces from a long distance.

Although these two points are not needed in the sect at present, flaws are still flaws.

Zhou Qing decided that after resolving the elders' dispute, he would start improving his skill tree and filling its loopholes.

The most urgent matter now is the dispute among the elders.

If you want to create good living conditions for yourself, personal strength is one aspect, and the external environment is also very important.

If he could pull Master Mu Zhuosha out of his demonic state, he would have both a Jindan senior and an elder from the Transmission Hall as his backers.

Jianghu is not about fighting and killing; Jianghu is about human relations.

The best state of a trump card is as a trump card. By the time you need to reveal the trump card and solve the problem yourself, you are already at a disadvantage.

The best state is to create a living environment for yourself that can keep dangers away.

So... it is necessary to reorganize the personnel arrangements of Qingyun Sect.

The next morning, Zhou Qing rushed to Qingyun Mountain, intending to ask Cheng Feipeng for the remaining two thousand runes.

Just as he reached the foot of Ziyun Mountain, he suddenly found that Fang Yuhe, Liu Bingxuan and others were also going down the mountain, apparently going to Qingyun Mountain.

The relationship between the two parties has now eased greatly and the previous tense atmosphere is no longer there, so when they saw Zhou Qing, Fang Yuhe and Liu Bingxuan greeted him from a distance.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "I see you're going to Qingyun Mountain. Could it be that someone else is coming to pay homage?"

Fang Yuhe said: "The Taoist friends from the Tianjian Sect have arrived, and the elders asked us to go and receive them."

"We are not like you, who have a legitimate reason to hide away."

Zhou Qing was originally asked to join the team to receive foreign guests, but he was too busy recently and had no time, so he used the excuse that he was at a critical moment in studying the formation to turn down this job that all the registered disciples of Qingyun Sect dreamed of.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Those who are capable should do more work. You have worked harder."

Fang Yuhe smiled and shook his head, saying, "What do you mean by 'the more capable, the more work'? It's obviously the idle who have the most work. You are a busy person, and those of us who are idle every day have no choice but to do more."

Everyone talked as they walked, and soon they arrived at Qingyun Mountain.

When they reached the fork in the road, the two groups parted ways. Zhou Qing went right to the Formation Court, while Fang Yuhe and others continued to head towards the Zichen Palace.
