Chapter 167: Casting Dao Ding, the strength increases dramatically [Subscribe]

Changing one's cultivation method is not an easy task, especially when the method to be changed is a top-level one like "Golden Tripod Mysterious Art".

Generally, it takes one or two months for a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage to switch to practicing a technique that can quickly improve his cultivation.

It is not uncommon for a cultivator who has switched to practicing combat techniques to take a year or two.

Zhou Chun had made arrangements in advance for this retreat, which might take one to two years.

Therefore, unless the Zhou family encounters a disaster of extermination, he should not be disturbed.

The place where he was in seclusion this time was next to the stone chamber used to store the collected gold energy.

He was seen sitting cross-legged in the stone chamber, first concentrating his mind and calming his breath, then adjusting his state.

After feeling that his condition had been adjusted to the best, Zhou Chun absorbed a little golden energy into his body and performed a final check before switching to practicing his new technique.

It is like when a new pipe is about to be filled with water, you first need to test whether the pipe is tight enough and whether there is any water leakage.

After this bit of golden energy had circulated through all the meridians involved in the various exercises in the body without causing much discomfort, Zhou Chun nodded slightly, with determination in his eyes.

Immediately, he stretched out his hand and patted the storage bag on his waist, and took out the Pulse Protecting Pill, Pulse Nourishing Pill, and Golden Spirit Qi Regulating Powder that he had purchased before.

Then he took out the meridian protecting pill and swallowed it in one gulp.

As the pill entered his stomach, a warm medicinal effect quickly spread out.

At this time, Zhou Chun did not let it spread freely, but used his spiritual consciousness and magic power to guide it to flow to the meridians needed for the operation of "Golden Tripod Mysterious Art", focusing on strengthening these meridians.

In this way, when the medicinal power is fully released, his meridians will be covered with a tough protective film. This is the special effect of the meridian protecting pill.

Then Zhou Chun opened the bottle of Jinling Regulating Qi Powder.

This kind of pill is a granular powder with a very strange taste, bitter, astringent and dry.

But Zhou Chun didn't dare to waste anything and swallowed the whole bottle of powder granules in one breath.

Then, without waiting for the medicinal power of the potion to begin to be released, he raised his palm and released a magical power to blast open the adjacent stone door, allowing the golden energy sealed in the next stone chamber to flow into this stone chamber.

boom!
A rich golden aura blew towards him, and the air Zhou Chun breathed felt like it was mixed with knives, scratching his nostrils and trachea and causing pain.

However, at this time, he accepted all the golden energy and used his skills to absorb it all into his body and guided it into his own Dantian Qi sea.

After entering his Dantian Qi Sea, these originally invisible golden energies quickly accumulated and condensed together, forming a golden cloud that floated above the golden, green and blue true essence and magic power pools that originally existed in his Dantian.

After absorbing an unknown amount of gold energy in this way, Zhou Chun finally stopped absorbing the gold energy.

Then he concentrated, closed his eyes, and devoted all his mind to the sea of ​​qi in his dantian.

He was seen strictly following the instructions in the "Golden Tripod Mysterious Art" and visualizing a heavy and ancient square tripod in his mind. The shape of the tripod was very similar to the Taoist instrument he had seen before.

In fact, in the past few years, he had entered the secret room many times to observe the golden tripod, and even learned the ancient characters on the golden tripod through the dictionary left by the family ancestors in the library.

The only difference from the golden tripod was that the square tripod he was visualizing now had a different pattern on each side.

On one side is a golden god driving a car and holding a spear, representing the killing power of gold.

On one side are thick and continuous golden mountains, representing the protection of gold.

On one side is a golden river with flowing gold and water, representing the changes of gold.

On one side is a strange beast with a single horn, a tiger body, an ox tail, and two wings growing from its ribs. It is said to be a powerful mythical beast named "Qiongqi", an existence equivalent to a real dragon, and it represents the Avenue of Gold!

While visualizing the square cauldron, the golden clouds in Zhou Chun's dantian seemed to be pulled by some mysterious force and slowly sank towards the golden, green and blue true essence and magic power pool below.

Soon the two sides merged together.

When they were just merging, the golden clouds and magical energy were difficult to completely integrate.

But at this time, the Jinling Qi-regulating Powder that Zhou Chun took was like a catalyst, slowly blending into it and causing the two to blend and harmonize into one.

Not long after, the originally liquid magic energy in Zhou Chun's Dantian Qi Sea gradually became viscous, just like water mixed with a large amount of flour, and could be scooped up and kneaded at will.

At this time, his spiritual consciousness was like a pair of invisible and skillful hands, which picked up the sticky substance and began to knead it.

Gradually, the object he was kneading soon took on a rough shape.

It was a square tripod, exactly the same as the square tripod he had imagined, almost without any difference.

However, the square tripod at this time could only be considered a rough prototype, as it had not yet been fired or water-cooled.

No one can say for sure whether such a rough draft can become a precious tripod.

Therefore, what Zhou Chun has to do next is to burn it with fire and pour water on it, so that it can go through the tempering of water and fire and become a real treasure tripod!

The fire came from Zhou Chun himself. It was the true fire of foundation building that he could control after building his foundation.

A blazing flame suddenly appeared under the square tripod and quickly engulfed it.

While being calcined in such fierce flames, Zhou Chun's keen sense noticed that tiny cracks appeared in some parts of the cauldron, which was caused by insufficient materials.

So he changed his mind and absorbed a lot of gold energy from the outside world, and put it into the cauldron as a repair material to ease the cracks.

In this way, after continuing to calcine for forty-nine days, the precious tripod in Zhou Chun's Dantian Qi Sea finally took shape.

At this moment, a ball of blood-red mist suddenly poured into Zhou Chun's dantian, pounced on the tripod and completely submerged it.

This blood-red mist is the "water" for quenching, which is transformed from his own essence and blood.

In a trance, there seemed to be a strange "hissing" sound rising from Zhou Chun's dantian.

The blood-red mist that submerged the cauldron suddenly faded rapidly and finally disappeared completely, as if it had been absorbed by the cauldron.

The tripod at this moment seemed much heavier and more solid than before.

The patterns on the four sides of the tripod also appear more vivid, as if they have a soul.

At this point, Zhou Chun's "cauldron casting" process was almost half completed.

Next comes the final step.

call!
Zhou Chun suddenly opened his mouth and took a breath, and the remaining golden energy in the stone chamber, as well as the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth, suddenly all rushed into his body.

The golden energy and spiritual energy flowed along the meridians and soon merged into the qi sea in his dantian.

He then practiced his skills, urging the square cauldron to swallow them all.

At this moment, golden light appeared in the square tripod, and a gurgling sound was heard, as if a pot of soup was boiling. The original purpose of the tripod was to cook food.

The practice process of "Golden Tripod Mysterious Art" is to use spiritual energy and golden energy as ingredients to cook into a pot of pure and delicious golden soup.

After an unknown amount of time of cooking, the Qiongqi mythical beast with a Qiongqi pattern on the side of the cauldron suddenly opened its mouth and a stream of golden soup spurted out of its mouth and fell under the golden cauldron.

This golden soup will be Zhou Chun's future magical power.

When the golden soup appeared, he was instantly overjoyed, knowing that he had completed the most dangerous step of "casting the tripod".

However, after a slight joy, he continued to keep his mind focused, mobilizing the golden soup to flow out of his dantian and into various meridians.

All of a sudden, a pain that was much more painful than the previous pain from tempering his body with golden energy instantly filled Zhou Chun's mind.

The golden soup was like real hot iron liquid poured on a person, causing him an indescribable pain.

The protective membrane formed by the meridian protecting pills in his meridians could not withstand the pouring of the golden soup and began to melt.

It turns out that the most difficult level is here! !
Zhou Chun took a deep breath, realizing that he was being complacent too early.

This magical energy condensed from a mixture of highly concentrated and pure gold energy and spiritual energy is many times more powerful than his previous magical energy, and the pressure it brings to his meridians is not possessed by pure gold energy.

Only when his meridians adapt to the flow of this magical power and true energy can he truly utilize this magical power and true energy to cast spells and cultivate supernatural powers.

And now that he has come to this point, no matter how difficult or painful it is, he obviously has no reason to give up.

He clenched his teeth, enduring the heart-wrenching pain, and continued to follow the exercise route to stimulate the golden soup to flow through the meridians in his body, over and over again!
After this happened several times, Zhou Chun's meridians were covered with scars and injuries as if they had been burned by fire.

If one relies solely on one's own recuperation for such a serious injury, it is unknown how long it will take to recover, or even if one can fully recover.

But at this time, the Yangmai Pill that Zhou Chun had bought earlier came in handy.

With trembling hands, he held the bottle of Yangmai Pill, then bit the cork with his mouth, pulled it out, and swallowed the pill inside into his stomach.

As the pill entered his stomach, a cool medicinal power was quickly released and began to nourish and repair the scarred meridians in Zhou Chun's body.

Time passed slowly, and the power of the Yangmai Pill was gradually exhausted.

Zhou Chun's meridians, which were originally covered with scars, are now completely renewed and fully recovered.

And the restored meridians are much tougher than before.

When he once again urged the iron-like golden soup to flow through the meridians, although there was still pain, it would not cause much actual damage to the meridians.

Apparently his meridians had begun to adapt to this new magical power.

From now on, as long as you continue to temper your meridians with this golden soup magic power, it won’t take long before your meridians are completely unharmed.

At this point, Zhou Chun's switch to practicing "The Mysterious Art of the Golden Tripod" was considered a success.

What he had to do next was to continuously practice this new technique to refine gold energy and spiritual energy and restore his true essence and magic power pool.

Time passed slowly, and when Zhou Chun's true essence and magic power pool was fully restored to its previous size, he finally realized the power of the top-level martial art "Golden Tripod Mysterious Art".

First of all, it is about the efficiency of cultivation.

After switching to practicing "The Mysterious Golden Tripod Art", his efficiency in absorbing and refining external spiritual energy was dozens of times higher than that of his previous "Five Qis Facing the Sun Sutra". The speed was so fast that he was extremely surprised.

Now he only needs to practice qigong and meditate for two hours every day to complete a day's practice.

As far as he knew, even for cultivators who switched to practicing techniques that could quickly improve their cultivation, as long as they were not practicing quick-fix techniques like the Ning Yuan Gong, it would take almost two to three hours of meditation to complete a day's practice.

The second is the quality of mana.

If the quality of Zhou Chun's mana and true essence was one before, then now the quality of his mana and true essence is six.

For cultivators who practice those rapidly improving techniques, the quality of their mana and true energy is at best between second and third place.

This difference in quality will create a very exaggerated effect in actual fighting.

For example, the defensive power of the "Five Elements Spiritual Armor Art" that Zhou Chun had previously practiced depends on the cultivator's own cultivation and magic power.

If Zhou Chun were to use this secret technique now, the defensive spiritual armor he condensed would be much stronger than the second-grade inferior defensive spells cast by others, and it should not be a problem for him to withstand a blow from a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building.

At the same time, when it comes to activating magical weapons, this extremely high-quality magic power makes it much easier for him to activate higher-level magical weapons than other cultivators of the same level, and the power exerted is also stronger.

Then there are the characteristics that come with mana.

The damage that the golden soup magic power had caused to Zhou Chun before was as great as the damage it would cause to the enemy after it invaded the enemy's body.

And its ability to enhance the power of some magical instruments such as flying swords is also extremely obvious.

Zhou Chun only tried it and found that the power of the second-grade top-grade magic weapon "Flying Dragon Snatch" that he was now activating with the golden soup magic power was more than 20% to 30% stronger than before.

Nowadays, ordinary second-grade low-quality magic weapons would be torn into pieces by the red-gold flying claws after just a few collisions.

Finally, after successfully practicing the first chapter of "Golden Tripod Mysterious Art", you will master the magical power "Golden Tripod Mysterious Light".

"Golden Tripod Mysterious Light" is a special magical power that relies on the "Dao Tripod" in Zhou Chun's body.

The so-called mysterious light is mysterious beyond words.

It has a very powerful ability to change. It can transform into sword energy or sword light to attack the enemy according to the will of the master, or it can transform into a shield or protective cover for self-defense, and can even be used to imprison the enemy.

No matter how it is used, its power is far stronger than the supernatural powers mastered by those cultivators who practice techniques to quickly improve their cultivation. Only the supernatural powers mastered by cultivators who practice some powerful fighting techniques can compete with it.

In Zhou Chun's own test, when he used the mysterious light to transform into a shield to protect himself, even if he attacked with a second-grade inferior magic weapon driven by the golden soup magic power, it would take repeated attacks more than a dozen times to break it.

As long as the Xuanguan shield cannot be broken in a short period of time, Zhou Chun can use his magic power to repair the previous damage.

According to the test results, he estimated that as long as he put all his strength into holding up the Xuanguan shield, a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building who was practicing a method to quickly improve his cultivation, even with a second-level mid-grade magic weapon, would have to work hard to break the shield.

This means that even without the help of his spirit pet, he can now fight against most cultivators in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment alone, and his winning rate is very high!

This is the power of top-level martial arts!

As long as one can practice successfully, not only will the speed of cultivation be extremely fast and the quality of magic power be extremely high, but one will also possess extremely powerful magical powers to defend the way and protect oneself.

Moreover, "Golden Tripod Mysterious Light" is only the magical power that comes with successfully practicing the first of the four chapters in "Golden Tripod Mysterious Art". In the future, when Zhou Chun's cultivation level is higher, he will be able to master more powerful techniques and magical powers that come with them.

There are also the techniques of defending the way and protecting the body recorded in the four outer chapters. After he mastered the "Golden Tripod Mysterious Art", he also had the conditions to practice them.

I suffered from insomnia last night and didn’t go to bed until five o’clock. In order not to continue suffering from insomnia tonight, I didn’t dare to sleep this afternoon and went hiking. I didn’t come back until after eight o’clock in the evening, so the update was late. In addition, I will go to bed early tonight and get up early tomorrow to write, so the update of one chapter tomorrow morning will be postponed to noon. Everything should be back to normal the day after tomorrow!
