The Path to Immortality: Starting with an Analysis of Basic Concepts

If you take meditation liquid or soul-dispersing pills.

In a day, the soul can dissipate at least the equivalent of ten soul particles, but spiritual energy hinders the cultivation of Qi, and it takes about two and a half hours to condense one soul particle.

Even if Zhu Yu worked day and night, he could only condense a maximum of five divine soul particles a day, which was obviously impossible.

Whether it's transforming one's physical body or cultivating the tiger corpse seed, both require time. In order to enter the demon's lair and insect nest six months later, one needs to prepare enough protective treasures.

However, these treasures require spirit stones to purchase, meaning that in addition to cultivating, he must also spend time earning spirit stones…

"Ugh... there's just not enough time..."

Zhu Yu took a deep breath and sighed inwardly, "No wonder there are so many stalls at the market..."

Suppressing the distracting thoughts in my mind, with a slight thought, a message appeared.

["Basic Visualization Diagram" progress from minor to major mastery, analysis progress "78%", estimated analysis time "ten days".]

"Ten days... hopefully, we can shorten the time required to condense divine soul particles..."

Zhu Yu shook his head slightly, closed the panel, closed his eyes, and immersed himself in meditation.

......

Time flies like water; ten days pass in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Zhu Yu would occasionally check on the condition of the tiger corpse and prepare food for raising Xiao Hei. At other times, he would stay indoors and cultivate in seclusion in the wooden house.

The results were also very encouraging.

Not only did he condense thirty divine soul particles, but under the influence of the "Corpse Control Technique" seed that was being nurtured, his spiritual power was mixed with a touch of coldness. The increase in power was not significant, but it allowed him to sense the corpse energy floating in the air.

Besides.

Just a few days ago, after eating the nurturing food, Xiao Hei actually attracted a spirit into its body and entered a deep sleep, growing larger day by day.

This can be seen from the above.

The bearded stall owner wasn't lying; the source of Little Black's worm mother really was killed.

Then there's the spiritual plant "Corpse Taro," which lives up to its reputation for being easy to care for, growing vigorously. He once pulled one out to check it out, and it had already begun to spread its roots.

Just as he expected, the corpse taro attracted a lot of insects. Perhaps because they were not well adapted to the corpse ground environment, the branches and leaves of the corpse taro were not eaten. Instead, the corpse ground had a lot of insect corpses to serve as nutrients.

This day.

While resting and pondering the structure of the "Demon Raising Record" technique, Zhu Yu suddenly felt a tremor in his heart. When he came to his senses, a large number of cultivation memories about the "Basic Visualization Method" suddenly surged from the depths of his mind.

in memory.

He meditated tediously day after day, condensing his spiritual particles while constantly fine-tuning the method of drawing the three-ring pattern. There were successes and failures along the way, and time and time again, the method of drawing the three-ring pattern became simpler and more efficient.

The time all got shorter each time.

Following his intuition, Zhu Yu quickly immersed himself in meditation.

In the space of consciousness, his thoughts transformed into the brushstrokes. With a single stroke, the inner ring was naturally outlined. The wood and earth elements arrived as promised, and he did not obstruct them.

The moment the wood and earth spiritual energy entered, he subconsciously picked up his brush and outlined an inner ring again. At this moment, the wood and earth spiritual energy became restless and surged with spiritual light, wanting to break free from the confinement.

Without pausing, Zhu Yu forcefully suppressed his divine sense, and then, as if breaking through some kind of shackle, his divine sense followed a strange rhythm, instantly becoming more condensed.

Under its suppression, the spiritual energy of wood and earth could no longer stir up the slightest ripple, and it took shape in an instant.

next moment.

A shimmering light emanated, and divine soul power surged and converged. The three-ring pattern manifested directly in the divine sea, and the wood and earth spiritual energies residing within it obediently submitted without needing divine consciousness to suppress them…

After a while.

It will transform into pale golden light and disappear into the dark sea of ​​gods.

"Characteristic focus..."

Zhu Yu's eyes lit up with joy.

Recalling that strange rhythm, the moment when my consciousness resonated with it, it was as if water had frozen into ice. The wood and earth spiritual energy that I had barely suppressed became as docile as lambs under its influence.

the most important is.

Once the basic meditation technique is mastered, it only takes half an hour to condense a single soul particle.

This means that he can now focus entirely on drug use and cultivation, and it will only take up less than half of his time each day.

At a rate of condensing ten divine soul particles per day, it is entirely possible to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining before entering the demon's lair or the insect nest.

Even without protective treasures, with his late-stage Qi Refining cultivation, he wouldn't be in much danger as long as he didn't venture deep into demon lairs or insect nests.

"call…"

Zhu Yu was completely relieved. Just as he was about to take the remaining thin layer of meditation liquid to cultivate, a voice called out from outside.

"Is Junior Brother Zhu home?"

"Um?"

Zhu Yu recognized the name, thought for a moment, a smile appeared on his face, he got up from the bed and walked towards the stairwell.

They left the hall.

Two people were standing not far away.

A man dressed in the same black robe as him, was tall and stout, with a round face that gleamed with a waxy sheen.

A handsome young man with a face like jade, wearing a blue Taoist robe embroidered with white cranes carrying cinnabar on the chest.

"Senior Brother Xiang? Senior Brother Liang?"

Upon seeing the two, Zhu Yu was stunned, then stared at them as if he had seen a ghost, especially Xiang Sui.

Where can you still see that slovenly figure from before? Is it a case of things going to extremes and then reversing? Now, not only has she lost that sleazy air, but she also has a graceful and elegant air about her.

Just by looking at him, one gets the feeling that "this child is destined for greatness."

Coming to her senses, Zhu Yu hurriedly stepped forward and gestured, "You two..."

Before he could finish speaking, he sensed two more auras, each far more powerful than his own—one warm as water, the other brimming with malevolence.

"Senior brother has broken through?"

Zhu Yu looked at the two in shock. If what they said earlier was true, wouldn't they be at the late stage of Qi Refining and the middle stage of Qi Refining respectively?

Seeing his shocked expression, Xiang Sui and Liang Kuan exchanged a glance, both revealing smug smiles, and said in unison:

"Just broke through the barrier the day before yesterday/yesterday..."

Although they had previously been confident that they had more spiritual particles than Zhu Yu and that their cultivation would far surpass his once they broke through, they couldn't help but feel anxious when they actually saw him break through to Qi Refining.

I took this opportunity to stop teaching and focus on my spiritual practice.

Having listened to countless lessons, Xiang Sui's visualization technique was not far from achieving minor mastery, while Liang Kuan had already mastered it. This was one of the reasons why they were able to break through to Qi Refining so quickly.

Seeing the two smug-looking people, Zhu Yu was speechless.

No, you broke through your cultivation levels at home and came here to show off instead?

Zhu Yu said irritably, "Congratulations to both of you senior brothers. Let's not stay outside any longer, let's go inside and talk..."

After saying that, he turned and left.

"Hahaha…"

Xiang Sui and Liang Kuan both burst into laughter, following him into the courtyard while asking, "Junior Brother, why did you choose to cultivate in this gloomy underworld?"

"Of course, it's to prepare for corpse refining..."

Zhu Yu suddenly turned around, his eyes gleaming with a sinister light as he sized up the two of them.

Instantly.

Xiang Sui and Liang Kuan's smiles froze.

They knew all too well what the Netherworld was for cultivating, and when it came to refining corpses, what could compare to the superior physical quality of a cultivator's body?

"ha…"

This time, Zhu Yu laughed. After teasing the two men, he went into the living room, fetched a teapot and teacups, poured a cup for each of them, and then apologized:

"My junior brother has been busy cultivating these days and forgot to prepare a congratulatory gift..."

"Oh, I thought it was something serious!"

Xiang Sui waved his hand dismissively, pointed to the crimson robe and crane, and said arrogantly, "I'm an alchemist, why would I need your little tricks?"

"I saw you planted a lot of corpse taro in the corpse field. Remember to share some with me when they ripen," Liang Kuan grinned.

"No problem, we have as many as you need."

Zhu Yu readily agreed, then looked at Xiang Sui and hesitated, asking, "So...should we hold this large lecture or not?"
