Chapter 230 Spiritual Vein Growth, Fishing Tribulation(2/3)
The development of new spiritual fields must take these fixed "river veins" as the core, and continuously dig deep and strengthen this system, and it can no longer be done randomly as before.
Otherwise, the continuously added spiritual fields will not only not be a boost to the continued growth of the Sanchuan Plateau spiritual veins, but may actually cause damage to the existing "river veins" and become a hindrance to the continued growth of the Sanchuan Plateau spiritual veins.
The land reclamation work in Lingtian was restarted, and a large number of new Lingtian were born every year under the guidance and planning of the City Lord's Palace.
From top to bottom, from inside the Sanchuan Plain to outside the Sanchuan Plain, countless pairs of eyes were staring, expecting that the spiritual veins of the Sanchuan Plain would undergo new changes as a result.
But the reality is that since the land reclamation work in Lingtian was restarted, nothing has changed.
Whether it is the range of the spiritual veins or the quality of the spiritual energy, they are exactly the same as after the upgrade of the Sanchuan Yuan spiritual veins.
There is neither growth nor regression.
For this reason, I don’t know how many people are disappointed.
All kinds of speculations and discussions were spread by word of mouth and spread to all sides.
Among them, there are two guesses that have the most acceptance.
One guess is that the second-level limit of the special characteristics of the Mikawa Plateau spiritual vein is its end, and it is impossible to really grow forever.
Now Mikawahara has been upgraded from the second-level spiritual veins to the third-level spiritual land, which has exceeded the limit range that the characteristics of Mikawahara's spiritual veins can support.
Then the "growth potential" will naturally stop.
Just like a child can grow taller every year, but when the child becomes an adult, the growth stops and it is impossible to keep growing.
Another speculation is that the ability of the Sanchuan Plateau spiritual veins to grow will only appear in a natural state.
Due to human intervention, the Sanchuan Yuan spiritual veins were sublimated in a short period of time, from the second level to the third level, but this also fundamentally destroyed this "natural state".
In this view, the upgrading of spiritual veins through human intervention is like killing the goose to obtain the eggs, and fishing in the dry lake.
In addition to these two most popular speculations, there are many more various conjectures.
Some of them sound very reasonable at first glance, and some of them are very outrageous, sensational, and contain too many conspiracies and calculations.
This has become an enduring and long-standing hot topic among the middle- and lower-class monks living in Sanchuanyuan.
But now, Meng Zhou already knew what the real reason was.
"It's all because of me!"
After realizing that he was the real "culprit" that hindered the continued growth of Sanchuan Yuan's spiritual veins, Meng Zhou himself was also very shocked.
But now, with the facts before him, he couldn't help but not believe it.
Just this year, when he chose to practice retreat in Aurora Cave.
Just after the New Year, the spiritual veins of Sanchuanyuan began to change one after another.
By the end of the first month, the changes were already very obvious.
The range of Mikawa Plateau's spiritual veins has not increased, but the density of spiritual energy in the outermost areas has increased significantly compared to before.
And the closer you go to the center, the changes in the quality of the earth's spiritual energy within the "river veins" become more and more obvious.
About 10% of the spiritual lands have been upgraded.
For those spiritual lands that have not been upgraded, you can also feel the improvement in the quality of their spiritual energy.
For example, the outer area could only provide shanty houses for monks on the first and second floors of Qi training.
After one month, although it has not yet reached the point where it can be used by monks in the middle stage of Qi training, it can already supply the daily practice needs of monks at the third level of Qi training.
However, compared to the "vigorous" changes in the first and second level spiritual lands, the changes in the third level spiritual lands in the core inner city area are minimal.
In order to carefully screen them, Meng Zhou even spent half a day taking over the Bingxin Blood Lotus clone and carefully explored the core inner city area with a radius of ten miles.
The quality of spiritual energy has hardly improved, but the amount of spiritual energy has increased.
"The newly added spiritual energy should be able to supply the daily practice needs of the two monks who are in the early stages of forming the pill."
"So, the situation is actually very obvious.
The spiritual veins of Sanchuan Yuan have been upgraded, but their growth characteristics have not been affected."
"It's just that the newly added spiritual energy was too little. All of it was intercepted by me, and it was not truly reflected at all."
"It seems that I only absorbed the third-order spiritual energy, but Mikawahara's third-order spiritual energy is derived from the continuous enrichment and refinement of the first- and second-order spiritual energy.
At the source, they are one."
Following this conclusion, he thought of another possibility.
"Before, I just intercepted all the newly added spiritual energy.
As my cultivation level continues to improve, each time I practice in retreat, I will breathe out and refine more and more spiritual energy.
Isn't it possible that I can drain all the spiritual energy from Sanchuan Yuan in just one practice?"
Thinking of this, Meng Zhou couldn't help but gasped.
Then he sighed:
"It seems that Sanchuan Plain is indeed no longer suitable for my cultivation."
With his rapid growth, not only did Mikawahara become an obstacle to his growth, but in turn, he also became an obstacle to Mikawahara's growth.
"Is this considered mutual dislike?" Meng Zhou thought in his heart.
…
With such a big event happening in Sanchuan Plain, "Ge Ping" was inevitably alarmed.
Fortunately, there is a Bingxinxuelian clone staying in Sanchuanyuan, so he can switch back and forth between "Song Yang" and "Ge Ping" freely.
In addition, Meng Zhou can take over at any time and conduct remote control.
In addition, the main palace of Sanchuanyuan City has now formed a tacit understanding that "non-important matters will not alarm the Danjie monks, and all matters will be handled by the fake Dan and the forces behind the Jiedan monks."
As long as "Ge Ping" and "Song Yang" didn't show any interest in taking the initiative to participate, no one would bother them.
The Jade Blood Army behind "Ge Ping" and the Professional Association behind "Song Yang" have enough ability and skill to deal with these problems.
Therefore, Sanchuan Yuan caused a huge sensation because of the spiritual veins growing again, and once again focused the attention of the entire Qingxuan Domain cultivation world on Sanchuan Yuan.
But for the alchemy monks such as "Ge Ping" and "Song Yang" who were among them, it did not have much impact.
Everyone just exchanged messages with each other and looked forward to a better future - which is also a more intense future. Including Liang Rui, Deng Gang, Fu Qiang and other newcomers to the alchemy, they were all immersed in their own practice.
Everyone seemed to have turned into ascetics.
——It’s not enough without “suffering”. Sanchuanyuan can continue to grow, which is naturally a good thing for the entire Sanchuanyuan cultivation world.
But when it comes to individual practitioners, this may not be the case.
It is foreseeable that the competition in Sanchuanyuan will become more and more fierce in the future. From Qi training to elixir formation, no practitioner can "be alone".
…
In the blink of an eye, time has come to March.
The fifth day of March, afternoon.
Cultivation progress +300, fourth level of elixir formation 6820/10,000;
Third-level Spring Water Sutra +3000, Master 87,000/120,000;
Black Turtle Bearing Monument True Skill +3000, Master 75,300/120,000.
…
After finishing this retreat, Meng Zhou removed the array flags arranged on the stone island and put them all into the spirit gourd space.
As soon as I thought about it, there was a faint golden cloud rising from the depths of the nearby water.
Soon, these originally dim golden clouds broke away from the water and lingered in the nearby void.
These 30,000 golden armored spirit insects, after two months of accumulation and feeding with sufficient and high-quality heart essence and blood, are more powerful than they were two months ago.
Meng Zhou examined it carefully and selected some of the golden-armored spirit insects.
Then, he took out a large amount of heart essence and blood, dispersed it into 16,000 even points, and dropped them on the 30,000 golden armored spirit insects.
Most of the golden armored spirit insects must first defeat their competing companions if they want to obtain this precious blood.
But there are also a small number of lucky people who can directly eat the blood essence without having to compete with any golden-armored spirit insects.
But whether this bye is lucky or unfortunate for them, only God knows.
If there is no bye, and the companions compete for blood food, it is possible to fail and become the companion's further qualifications.
But it is also possible to succeed. While swallowing blood food, he also turns his companions into material, becoming a stepping stone for him to go further.
In this way, they will definitely have greater advantages in the next competition.
Now in this round, although they have avoided the danger of being devoured by their companions, they have also lost the possibility of gaining more accumulation.
And these "lucky bugs" selected by Meng Zhou all have one thing in common, that is, they are "too stable."
At other times, this might be a good sign.
But now, what Meng Zhou seeks is to hope that these golden armored spirit insects can break the shackles of their bloodline and complete the sublimation leap from the second level to the third level.
