013 Late stage of gas refining
The giant mouth mud-swallowing toad is a lower-level spirit beast. As a spirit beast, in addition to its amazing cultivation talent, it already has all kinds of extraordinary features. For example, this giant mouth mud-swallowing toad is born with a giant mouth in all directions and can swallow mud.
Swallow and spit mud, swallow the mud into the abdomen, merge into true energy, or turn into huge mud balls or turn into mud smoke, which can attack or confuse as a trick.
On the surface, this talent seems to be nothing special, even a bit naive. After all, for a monk who is proficient in various magical techniques, swallowing mud and spitting mud is no different from a child's trick.
But these are just what outsiders know on the surface. And what Zhan Jiu knows through the Return to Original Art is more. It is precisely because he knows the true talent of the giant mouth mud-swallowing toad that he makes such a decisive choice and evolves into this creature at such a critical stage.
Swallowing and spitting mud is just an appearance, and this is a manifestation of the powerful swallowing and absorption ability of the Giant Mud-Swallowing Toad! The true talent of the Giant Mud-Swallowing Toad can absorb everything it swallows to the greatest extent and then turn it into one's own use!
All demon cultivators who swallowed flesh and blood, spirits, and even inner elixirs could not completely absorb the spiritual energy and true energy. They would inevitably be accompanied by a lot of waste of waste, and their efficiency was even less than 10%. This is why Zhan Jiu swallowed so much flesh and blood, as well as the spirit bodies of the two little demons and Lao Qi, now they are only in the middle stage of Qi refining cultivation.
Now, when he activated the devouring talent of the Giant Mud-Earthed Mud-Swallowing Toad, his efficiency suddenly increased significantly, directly reaching 20% of the terrifying, which is twice as high as that of ordinary demon cultivators! That is to say, the flesh, spirit, inner elixir, and 20% of the spiritual energy and true energy he swallowed can be completely refined and transformed into his own use. Moreover, as the bloodline of the Giant Mud-Swallowing Toad in Zhan Jiu's body becomes more and more pure, this proportion will steadily increase. And this final proportion will reach a terrifying level of 30%.
It has to be said that this is almost the shortcut that all monks dream of. Moreover, not only that, due to their devouring talent, a giant mouth can absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth like a sea and rivers. Apart from the difference between external objects and martial arts, his normal cultivation speed is often three to four times that of ordinary monks, or even more! This is why, the cultivation growth rate of all giant mouth demon cultivators are often astonishing.
Perhaps this talent is too jealous of heaven. Although the giant mud-swallowing toad is only a lower-level spirit beast, its reproduction ability is extremely weak. So far, it has not been heard of the giant mud-swallowing toad for nearly a thousand years. I wonder if it has been extinct.
It is precisely because of the giant mouth mud-swallowing toad, the devouring talent that Zhan Jiu, who is eager to improve his cultivation, chose to evolve without hesitation. Because only in this way can he truly see the ray of revenge.
When the bloodline of the Giant Mouth Swallowing Mud Toad has exceeded 10% and the devouring talent is activated, the sixty percent of the true energy has not been used up. It is still continuing to use the return technique and steadily increasing the bloodline of the Giant Mouth Swallowing Mud Toad.
As a lower-level spiritual beast, the bloodline of the giant mouth swallowing mud toad is more than ten times more difficult than that of the mortal flower-backed toad. So after three days and three nights, when all the 60% true energy is exhausted, the bloodline concentration will only remain at 30%.
At this time, Zhan Jiu swallowed flesh and blood, and the efficiency of the spiritual body was slightly more than 50%. The efficiency of the exercises to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was about three times that of ordinary monks.
Sixty percent of the true energy was consumed, and while Zhan Jiu gained huge gains, the return to the original technique gradually stopped. Because the return to the original technique consumed a huge amount of true energy, it was far more than several times the speed used by Zhan Jiu to improve his cultivation. Therefore, although these sixty percent of the true energy used to improve his cultivation was consumed, the 30% of the true energy used to improve his cultivation was only a little more than half. At this time, Zhan Jiu was in the late stage of Qi Refining.
The crisis of the explosion body has long been resolved, and the true energy has already completely repaired the body. What is left now is to consume the remaining true energy and improve the cultivation level with all efforts.
Suddenly feeling tired, Zhan Jiu Toad's huge mouth couldn't help but yawned hugely, and his eyelids drooped and he fell asleep. And his body was still slowly absorbing and refining his true energy, automatically improving his own cultivation.
Seven days later...
After the remaining true energy was finally exhausted, Zhan Jiu slowly woke up.
When he woke up, he found that the spiritual energy in his body was unprecedentedly abundant. Zhan Jiu couldn't help but feel happy and began to check his own cultivation.
The peak of Qi Refining late stage!
After a little investigation, the result was clear. Zhan Jiu was very happy. The inner elixir of this early Jindan master was indeed extraordinary. It was only 30% true energy. It actually helped him break through the middle stage of Qi refining in one fell swoop, and he went straight to the peak of the late stage of Qi refining.
At this time, when I looked inside, I saw that the dantian was already silver-white, like mercury mist. Zhan Jiu, who had experience in the late stage of the Golden Pill, naturally knew that this was a strange phenomenon in the late stage of Qi refining.
The so-called Qi Refining Period is to condense the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and refine it into true energy for one's own possession. This is the initial stage of cultivation and also a stage for laying the foundation.
At this stage, the most difficult thing is the condensation of the spirit seed at the beginning. Once the spirit seed is condensed, the next step is to continuously cultivate the true energy and strengthen it. When the spirit seed is strong and full enough, it is the later stage of Qi refining. This stage is at the intersection of the next realm and the current realm, which is the most special.
At this time, the true energy obtained by condensing spiritual energy will not be instilled into the spiritual seeds, but will be stagnant in the dantian. When the true energy is more and more depressed within a single point, Zhan Jiu will now appear, with a silver-white and gray scene in the dantian. This silver-white true energy is the basis for impacting the next realm.
After the Qi Refining Period, the Foundation Establishment Period is the Foundation Establishment Period. As the name suggests, the so-called Foundation Establishment Period is the construction of the foundation. The foundation built is naturally prepared for the next stage, that is, the Golden Elixir Period.
The Qi Refining Stage practices that are spiritual seeds that condense golden elixirs in the future. The Foundation Establishment Stage is the soil for the growth of spiritual seeds.
At the intersection of Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment, all true energy will be stagnant in the Dantian and around that little spiritual seed. When the true energy condenses more and more until it reaches the point of reaching it, it is the time when the foundation establishment period is truly reached.
At that time, the spiritual seeds had been formed, and the surrounding true energy condensed into soil to wrap it. Then, it continued to nourish and grow throughout the foundation-building period until the spiritual seeds condensed into golden elixirs.
Now Zhan Jiu's dantian is already covered in dust, which is obviously a vision at the peak of the late Qi refining stage. As long as he is working hard to condense it into substance, one step will be the foundation building stage. It's a pity that at this moment, Lao Qi's golden elixir was used up.
Thinking of this, Zhan Jiu couldn't help but sigh slightly. He was only one step away from entering the foundation-building stage, which was really a shortcoming.
Fortunately, Zhan Jiu was not a greedy person. At most, he just sighed and felt sorry for a moment. Then he couldn't help but move his bloated body. He had been hiding under the mud, as if he hadn't moved for more than half a month, and his body felt sore and itchy.
As of this movement, Zhan Jiu couldn't help but be surprised. Why did the space seem to have become smaller? Then he naturally looked at himself for a while and couldn't help laughing. It turned out that it wasn't that the space was smaller, but that he had grown up again.
It's right to think about it. Not only did I upgrade my cultivation level two levels in a row, but I went directly from the early stage of Qi Refining to the late stage. Even the most essential prototype has changed, from the original mortal flower-backed toad to the current alien lower-class spirit beast, the giant mouth swallowing mud toad.
I saw him curled up in the mud at the bottom of the sea, and his body was five or six meters long. His belly was as bulging as a warehouse, and his limbs were as thick as a beam. His head was as big as a stone mill, and his two bulging eyes were like two huge amber pearls.
At this time, the skin on the body had completely turned black and gray, with a faint greasy light. The nauseous and highly toxic abscesses on the back had long disappeared, turning into slightly darker spots.
The most exaggerated thing is his current huge mouth. The huge mouth is square, and the upper and lower jaws are separated from behind the ears. There is also a circle of light gray patterned light around his lips.
Zhan Jiu couldn't help but smile when he swallowed the mud toad with a huge mouth. This was his brand new self. And just when he was still admiring his perfect body, a sudden throbbing came from his body.
Zhan Jiu was stunned and then ecstatic. Today's happy events came one after another. The clear pulse brought information, and the earth sword in the ancient Five Elements Sword finally advanced!
