Sea Cultivation: Giant Ships and Heavy Artillery Knock on the Door to All Races

Chapter 140 Thirty-six Condensed Liquids, One Thousand Two Divine Thoughts
Although the main part of Yanglong Bay is a third-level spiritual vein, it is not a large-scale third-level spiritual vein, so the spiritual vein is not fully open.

Instead, it is strictly controlled by the family, and the spiritual energy concentration can only be stabilized to the third level in a few areas, such as the ancestral residence, specific caves, third-level medicine gardens, and a small number of special industries.

In addition, the areas that can stably reach the second-level spiritual energy concentration are also limited, because priority needs to be given to supplying the cultivation caves of the foundation-building elders and other major second-level industries.

The living environment of ordinary Qi Refining Realm clan members is often only at the peak of the first level, so Lin Qianfan cannot build his foundation at home, and needs to go to the family's special breakthrough cave to break through and build his foundation.

There is a saying that the higher the concentration of spiritual energy, the smoother it will be!

"Good luck!"

This area does not allow outsiders to enter. Even if it is empty, unqualified people are not allowed to use it. Even those who come to watch the ceremony will be controlled in a specific area.

"I'll lend you some good words!"

Lin Qianfan entered the cave and closed the formation from the inside.

"What a rich spiritual energy."

As the family's foundation-building seed, Lin Qianfan has a special cave for cultivation. The lakeside hut in the Fengling Secret Realm can also reach the second level, but it is not as good as this breakthrough cave.

If Lin Qianfan hadn't reached the point where he could no longer absorb any more spiritual energy, he would have had the illusion that the spiritual energy from outside was trying to penetrate his body.

What is the use of spiritual energy concentration?
Pressure difference!
The higher the concentration of external spiritual energy, the easier it is for cultivators to absorb external spiritual energy when practicing their skills, and they will rush to absorb it;
On the contrary, the lower the concentration of external spiritual energy, the more difficult it is to absorb it into the body, and it requires strenuous and forced grasping.

Low-level cultivators do not need to consider the total amount of spiritual energy in the environment. A powerful Nascent Soul cultivator can control the spiritual energy within a few hundred miles around him with a wave of his hand, and can even temporarily cut off the spiritual energy in a poor spiritual area. Therefore, high-level cultivators have extremely high requirements for the Taoist temple when they want to practice or break through.

Light a special incense stick to refresh your mind and sit cross-legged on the jade cushion.

Lin Qianfan, who was fully prepared, began to practice the fourth level of the "Gengjin Sword Art" which he had already thoroughly comprehended.

The first three levels of "Gengjin Sword Technique" correspond to the early, middle and late stages of Qi Refining Realm respectively, the middle three levels correspond to the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the last three levels correspond to the Golden Core Stage. This technique can be practiced to the peak of the Golden Core Stage. If there is any subsequent path, it will be necessary to change to a more advanced gold-attribute technique, but that is still too early, so it is not considered for the time being.

Each level of the technique can cover the previous one. On the basis of the previous one, it can open up more meridians and more complex routes, absorb more spiritual energy and release more spiritual power.

Practicing the fourth level of skills in advance at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining can actively guide the breakthrough process.

"coming!"

The gaseous spiritual power in the body, which was already extremely dense, began to gradually liquefy under higher pressure.

The liquid spiritual power condensed from the fourth level of the Gengjin Sword Technique appears as a shining golden jade color.

All that glitters is not gold!
"First drop, now!"

Not everyone who has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining can successfully condense liquid. Some people who have reached the ninth level of Qi Refining with weak foundation cannot even reach the stage of condensing liquid. This is one of the fundamental reasons why there is a huge gap between people in a battle at the same level.

The second drop, the third drop, the fourth drop... the twelfth drop.

With Lin Qianfan's profound foundation, he condensed the first twelve drops of liquid very smoothly, and even felt that the total amount of spiritual power in his body did not decrease much.

According to the minimum standard of building a foundation with Qi, after successfully condensing twelve drops of liquid, you can stop and enter the next stage. This is also the choice of most casual cultivators in building a foundation.

Instead of expending more energy and increasing risks to pursue the potential after building the foundation, it is better to seize the time to move on to the next step to increase the success rate of building the foundation.

But Lin Qianfan's pursuit goes far beyond this.

"Keep up the good work! Keep going!"

Starting from the easy part and then moving on to the difficult part, from the thirteenth drop, the speed of condensation slowed down slightly, and the content of each drop of condensation was also higher.

Although Lin Qianfan had the experience of successfully building a foundation in his memory and had also learned from many successful cases of the Lin family's ancestors, he still responded cautiously and guarded against arrogance and impatience.

The fifteenth drop, the sixteenth drop... the twenty-third drop, the twenty-fourth drop. Although the speed slowed down, Lin Qianfan controlled it very stably, and each drop was round and full.

Twenty-four drops of condensed liquid is also a threshold. At this point, one has a good foundation, worthy of the identity of a child of a noble family and worthy of the family's cultivation. After that, those who are diligent will not easily be trapped in the early stage of foundation building.

After condensing twenty-four drops of liquid, each additional drop can increase the potential for advancement, and the road after building the foundation will be easier.

"All in one go!"

Feeling that half of the spiritual power in his body had been consumed, Lin Qianfan continued to practice the exercises without any joy or sadness, and continued to drive out the spiritual power hidden in various parts of his body, driving them out one by one and condensing them.

Twenty-fifth drop, twenty-sixth drop, twenty-seventh drop…thirty-second drop, thirty-third drop…

As the spiritual power content in the meridians becomes lower and lower, it becomes more and more difficult to condense the liquid, and the resistance becomes greater and greater. This is the time to compete with your foundation.

"Twenty years of perseverance, all for this day. Charge!"

Lin Qianfan prepared so much just to achieve perfection. He would not give up halfway just because of the great resistance. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Thirty-fourth drop...

The further back in time, the greater the amount of spiritual power contained in each drop of condensed liquid, and the greater the amount of power required to successfully condense it. In order to ensure success, Lin Qianfan took out the Foundation Establishment Pill.

"Now, help me with the Foundation Establishment Pill!"

Refining the Foundation Establishment Pill was a waste of resources, and each of the ingredients was extremely precious, so the Pill itself was rich in various energies. The thirty-fifth drop...

Although the Foundation Establishment Pill is powerful, it is only an external aid, and it provides equal assistance to every link, so the power used to assist in condensing the liquid is quickly consumed.

"Hold on! It's the last drop!"

It is extremely difficult to condense the last drop of condensate. After all, Lin Qianfan's technique is only a third-level technique. In fact, there are more sophisticated and mysterious fourth- and fifth-level techniques. It is not even ruled out that there are peerless geniuses in the world who can create techniques tailored for themselves.

Therefore, it is very difficult to achieve the goal of confining their thirty-six drops of condensate, which is a challenge.

Fortunately, Lin Qianfan also practiced the cultivation of mind and body. With his spiritual power that far exceeded the average level of his peers, he carefully searched every capillary meridian in his body. The physical strength that was ready to be unleashed also helped to squeeze out every bit of spiritual power hidden deep in his body.

Although the amount is small, it is endless. The tiny latent spiritual power in the limbs and bones is constantly stimulated and gathered together, eventually forming the thirty-sixth drop of condensed liquid, which is late but has arrived.

"Thirty-six drops of condensate! Done!"

Compared with other people with outstanding conditions and unlimited talents, Lin Qianfan may have some shortcomings. After all, the ordinary children of the Jindan forces are indeed not real young masters.

But today, the thirty-six drops of condensed liquid finally came to them, and the starting point in the foundation-building realm was finally the same. As for the other conditions, Lin Qianfan needed to create them himself.

The Qi Refining Level is the easiest for people with good foundation who do not pursue the limit, but it is the most difficult for Lin Qianfan who pursues the limit.

"The most difficult stage has been passed. The next step is to develop divine consciousness."

When a child is born, he or she has a weak soul seed, which gradually matures into a relatively complete soul during his or her subsequent growth and development.

What is the soul?
The soul is the original, the primordial, the One, and the true self.

After embarking on the path of cultivating immortals, everything about a mortal will change accordingly, starting from the most basic mastery of the power of refining Qi, to the passive tempering of the physical body as a container, to the passive strengthening of the Yuanchu soul, the trinity of essence, Qi and spirit will grow branches and leaves.

The power of the soul is the branches and leaves manifested by the soul. These small branches and leaves can be consumed and can also grow again. They are long-lasting and complement the fragile soul. They can continue to grow in size as the cultivator becomes stronger.

When a Qi-refining cultivator breaks through the foundation-building stage, the spiritual power that develops along with it also needs and must undergo a corresponding test.

This test is the transformation of the power of the soul to open up a brand new power of divine consciousness!

The power of divine consciousness is derived from the power of the divine soul, but it is a more advanced soul manifestation power than the power of the divine soul.

What's the advanced method?

To put it bluntly, the power of the soul is invisible, difficult to control, and difficult to use, while the power of the mind is visible, controllable, and very easy to use.

"Gather!"

The stage of opening up the divine consciousness is usually a test that is accepted passively, because most Qi-refining cultivators have no inheritance or experience in this area. Even among the cultivators of the Lin family, not all of them cultivate the divine consciousness. Usually, only those with good conditions/ambition to build a foundation will consider cultivating the divine consciousness.

After all, it takes an extra hour or two every day, extra torture and pain, and sometimes even extra money.

But Lin Qianfan is different. The Great Sun Visualization Method introduces in detail how Qi-refining cultivators should guide the power of their souls to more smoothly develop their spiritual thoughts during the foundation-building process. There are also many detailed cases in the Lin family's inheritance.

Therefore, Lin Qianfan would not wait foolishly to be tested, but would actively control the spiritual power that is far deeper than the average level to develop his spiritual consciousness.

Doing so can greatly increase the success rate of opening up the divine consciousness, and can also achieve the ultimate in this level.

You must know that without the protection of the Foundation Establishment Pill/equivalent Foundation Establishment Pill, the result of failing to develop divine consciousness is the annihilation of the soul and the direct death. Therefore, this is the most dangerous level, and the feedback will be the most obvious after reaching the extreme.

"open!"

Although there were challenges, it was not difficult with the support of many parties. Lin Qianfan successfully developed his divine consciousness in just one try.

For others, successful development is enough to pass the test, but Lin Qianfan’s requirements go beyond that.

He took advantage of the situation to practice the related secret methods of visualization to continue expanding the total amount of his spiritual consciousness while it had just been developed and was not yet stable.

Part of the medicinal power of the foundation-building pill, the remaining spiritual power that had accumulated to the limit, and all other forces that could assist the divine consciousness combined to further expand the divine consciousness that had just been opened up.

"Huh~ I've reached my limit!"

Divine consciousness is the product of the transformation of the soul. Although it has been strengthened before it takes shape, its nature is higher and the degree of strengthening is limited, but it is better than nothing.

As soon as the divine thought came out, Lin Qianfan felt that the whole world had changed.

It is a completely new sense, a new ability that transcends the original five senses.

"Look within yourself!"

Lin Qianfan did not immediately check the situation outside but instead looked at his Dantian Qi Sea.

The spiritual energy vortex that had been rotating there turned into a small puddle with thirty-six drops of condensed liquid remaining quietly. Each drop of spiritual liquid was round and full, with a unique beauty.

Looking at the various acupoints in the body that store qi and blood, the special acupoint spaces that were originally between reality and illusion can now be truly touched under the power of divine consciousness.
