“There are too many types of materials and they are too complex. Although I tried my best to bring out their full performance, they still seemed too scattered and lacked a real unifying core.

Moreover, the quality of the materials is still a bit low, and the amount of real third-level spiritual materials is too small, and most of them are second-level materials."

"This talisman system that is spread throughout the entire dome rock wall and in the water requires a real core to control everything.

And it would be better if it has the function of further purification and refining.”

Originally, although I had ideas, I had no concrete ideas.

But when he saw the aurora belt flowing and changing in the void of the dome and the mirror image on the water surface, Meng Zhou's mind suddenly became clear.

"Silk threads and rattan can be made into knots, mana, energy and blood can be made into knots, and spiritual consciousness can be made into knots, so why can't aurora be made into knots?"

As the ideas became clearer, the space named "Aurora Cave" became more dreamy and confusing.

In the blink of an eye, the time has come to the end of December.

Meng Zhou suspended the "decoration" work and told Bai Zhi: "I want to be in seclusion for some time, how do you arrange it?"

Bai Zhi was not surprised at all by this.

Meng Zhou would go into seclusion for several days every once in a while, which had long been a fixed rule.

Bai Zhi raised her head and looked at the several gorgeous auroras swimming in the sky, and said: "I will continue to clean up the monsters."

Meng Zhou nodded in agreement.

With the help of two mysterious turtles, Bai Zhi's hunting speed of monsters is not slow at all.

But compared with Meng Zhou's consumption speed, it was still much slower. If there were no other materials to support these days, he would have to consider whether to arrange for the two spiritual puppets, Mountain Monkey and Green Wolf, to participate.

Meng Zhou came to the largest stone island in the center of the space, took out the set of third-level high-grade formation flags obtained from Yanzhuang, and drove the formation flags into various places on the stone island.

Soon, the spiritual energy, which was already purer than that in the Sanchuan Plateau Cave Mansion, reached a higher level again.

Meng Zhou stepped into it.

At the same time, three faint shadows spread out from Meng Zhou's body.

One group of shadows showed a light fiery red, another group of shadows showed a light earthy yellow, and the last group showed a light cyan.

After they appeared, they circled twice around Meng Zhou. The red color representing the red flame fire lotus clone and the cyan color representing the green wolf quickly disappeared into the void and disappeared silently.

The earthy yellow color representing the mountain ape is integrated into the stone island below.

Meng Zhou believed that with their protection, both himself and Bai Zhi would be safe.

No matter how desperate it is, you can still wake yourself up from your deep trance.

After making these arrangements, Meng Zhou was finally able to enter meditation and retreat deep in Tianqi Mountain.

At this moment, the time is December 30th, late at night.

And just when Meng Zhou's consciousness was hanging in the sky of the "other world" like the way of heaven, time in the real world also turned a new page.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth seems to have been reset and refreshed, becoming more active, and the vitality contained in it has become more abundant.

Meng Zhou quickly gathered all his thoughts and immersed himself in the three-polar cycle of energy, energy and spirit.

…

The fifth day of the first lunar month, afternoon.

Sixty-five-year-old Meng Zhou ended this round of retreat.

Cultivation progress +300, fourth level of elixir formation 6220/10,000;

Third level Spring Water Sutra +3000, Master 81,000/120,000;

Black Turtle Bearing Monument True Skill +3000, Master 69,300/120,000;

…

No matter the progress of cultivation or the experience gain of Qi Refining Method and Body Refining Method, there was no change, but through this training, Meng Zhou truly confirmed his suspicions.

That is to say, my practice in Sanchuan Plain has hit the ceiling.

The reason lies in the changes in the income of Qinglian Sword Marrow.

In the first month of last year, Meng Zhou's cultivation level was also at the fourth level of Danjie, and the level of Chunshui Sutra was also at the master level, which was no different from this year.

But during this retreat last year, the number of Green Lotus Sword Marrow I harvested was 32 drops, which is equivalent to four times the income from retreats at other times.

But this time, while other conditions remained unchanged, except for the change in the practice environment, the yield from the Green Lotus Sword Marrow increased to 48 drops, from a four-fold gain to a six-fold gain.

The changes are so obvious.

Apart from the explanation that he had hit the ceiling of Mikawahara, Meng Zhou could not find any other more reasonable explanation.

However, this "top" has not yet affected my daily practice, but my retreat practice in the first month of every year has definitely been affected.

In the future, as my cultivation level gets higher and higher, this situation will become more and more serious.

Meng Zhou removed the formation on the stone island, looked up at the space, and thought to himself:

"It seems that this place really needs to be run with care."

Thinking like this, Meng Zhou flew out a golden spiritual gourd and a continuous golden cloud from the gourd's mouth, quickly spreading out in the void in his field of vision.

These are a total of 60,000 golden-armored spirit insects, each of which has reached the second-level extreme level of strength.

Because they have not eaten blood for several years, they look a little sluggish and weak when they appear.

However, when Meng Zhou took out several huge balls of heart essence and blood from his body, broke them into 30,000 points and evenly poured them into the swarm of golden beetles, the bloodthirsty desire deep in their bodies quickly awakened.

In an instant, they were fighting for these 30,000 tiny points of heart essence and blood.

The cloud of golden beetles that originally covered a large area of ​​void instantly boiled.

When the golden beetle cloud became calm again, the size of the insect cloud became half smaller.

The golden-armored spirit insect that won the battle for food not only consumed that small drop of heart essence blood, which was of a quality as high as third-level mid-grade.

Even the bodies of the defeated companions were swallowed by them without any waste.

Although their number has been reduced by half, the ferocious power they exude has clearly increased, becoming more breathtaking.

Meng Zhou did not continue to feed them the heart essence and blood, but took out the excess heart essence and blood in his body and stored it in a spiritual gourd space.

Here, after several years of continuous accumulation, the amount of essence and blood in the heart has reached an incredible level.

Its own extraordinary quality is coupled with the five-yun spiritual gourd’s own warming effect on spiritual materials.

These special reserves are absolutely irresistible to all monsters.

Shortly after Meng Zhou came out of seclusion, Bai Zhi returned once and handed over a large number of second-level monsters that he had hunted in the past few days to Meng Zhou.

Then, without any pause, he followed the two mysterious turtles into the vigorous "ugliness removal" operation.

Yes, now the biggest motivation is supporting her to clean this vast body of water.

It is not the threat of these aquatic monsters, but their presence that lowers the "beauty" of this aurora cave.

However, Meng Zhou did not immediately deal with the large amount of monster materials in his hand. Instead, he stretched out his hand to collect the Red Flame Fire Lotus clone that merged into the void and the Mountain Ape Spirit Puppet that merged into the stone island beneath him into the spirit gourd.

The next moment, Meng Zhou stepped out of this hidden underground space.

Not long after, Meng Zhouyu used his lightless spaceship to arrive at another third-level spiritual land, which was closer to the outskirts of Tianqi Mountain and more than two thousand miles away from the Aurora Cave.

Compared with Aurora Cave, this third-level spiritual land is smaller in area and lower in quality. It is located on the surface of the earth, in a river bend and valley landform area.

Meng Zhou just looked at it for a moment, and with a thought, he called Yaya out of the sea of ​​consciousness.

At this moment, Yaya is still in the shape of a small grasshopper.

As soon as she came out, she was jumping around excitedly, "Uncle, you are finally willing to let me get promoted!"

After having fun for a while, she quietly came to Meng Zhou again.

"are you ready?"

Yaya's pair of slender long beards are constantly swinging back and forth, like a chicken pecking at rice.

"I was ready ten years ago!"

"Okay, I delayed you."

As he spoke, a lot of third-level materials appeared in Meng Zhou's hands.

——These third-level materials are all waste products that failed to be made before Meng Zhou learned how to make third-level spiritual puppets.

Meng Zhou took out these materials and threw them into the air. Yaya, who was still in the form of a grasshopper, flashed.

In an instant, every lump of waste material looked like a tiny grasshopper lying on its back.

The pair of long, slender whiskers on the top of the grasshopper's head curved and touched the surface of these waste materials.

The spirituality contained in these materials flows into the grasshopper's body like flowing water along the long beard.

The material that lost its spirituality quickly decayed, turning into puffs of smoke and dissipating before it even hit the ground.

After absorbing these third-level spiritualities, it is like a primer, or like a spark that ignites a pile of dry firewood.

Yaya's breath changed rapidly in an instant.
