Do not die

After returning this time, Meng Zhou and Bai Zhi's lives in the Aurora Cave became increasingly peaceful and regular.

Bai Zhi started the final preparations. After returning this time, she no longer continued to hunt those water monsters, but began to retreat and meditate.

After successfully surviving the calamity, the two Mysterious Spirit Turtles, whose real bodies were already extremely large, sank into the water like two stubborn stones, quietly recovering and digesting the gains.

And the golden armored spirit insects, which number as many as 16,000, are getting closer and closer to taking the final step with the continuous feeding of essence and blood.

Meng Zhou himself, while practicing non-stop, is also continuing to improve the Aurora Cave.

This has not only allowed the aura quality of Aurora Cave to be continuously improved, but also the mastery of the spiritual blending of various materials, as well as the attainments in talisman formations and knots have become more and more sophisticated.

…

Months passed in the blink of an eye.

The fifth day of June, afternoon.

Cultivation progress +300, fourth level of elixir formation 7720/10,000;

Third level Spring Water Sutra +3000, master 96,000/120,000;

Black Turtle Bearing Tablet True Skill +3000, Master 84,300/120,000.

After finishing this retreat, Meng Zhou checked Bai Zhi's status again as usual, "How are you? How do you feel?"

When Bai Zhi heard this, she smiled and said, "That's enough."

"real?"

"Um."

After confirming that Bai Zhi had completed all the preparations and accumulation and could take the final step at any time, Meng Zhou didn't waste a moment and immediately took Bai Zhi out of the Aurora Cave.

About a day later, Meng Zhou had already crossed the thousand-meter rock barrier alone and returned to the Aurora Cave.

Soon, Meng Zhou appeared on the central stone island in a quiet room where Bai Zhi had been retreating for a long time.

The next moment, with a thought in Meng Zhou's mind, he moved the white zhi that was sitting cross-legged and meditating in his sea of ​​consciousness, deep in meditation, and placed it quietly on the stone couch in the quiet room.

The whole process is extremely smooth.

It did not cause any trouble to Bai Zhi, who had just finished forming the elixir and was entering deep concentration.

Meng Zhou valued Bai Zhi's breakthrough far more than the two Xuanling Turtles.

However, all the preparations were done quietly in advance.

Coupled with Bai Zhi's own accumulation, her breakthrough this time was completely natural without any setbacks.

What Bai Zhi was worried about before was never whether she would encounter any trouble during her breakthrough, but about the safety issues during the breakthrough.

After Meng Zhou solemnly stated that there was no need to have such concerns, Bai Zhi really gave up her safety concerns based on her complete trust in Meng Zhou.

From Bai Zhi's point of view, the whole process can be called "smooth". Without using any external resources, he successfully broke through and advanced from foundation building to pill formation.

This was also Meng Zhou's own feeling. Not only was the whole process smooth, there were no unexpected twists and turns.

He also successfully "fished" with the help of Bai Zhi's breakthrough this time, so there were seven more complete bones of the third-order demon in the spirit gourd space.

"In just half a year, as many as twenty-four third-level monsters have fallen into my hands." Meng Zhou only made a rough calculation in his mind, but he couldn't help but be shocked.

With the help of the huge commotion caused by several calamities, a total of twenty third-order monsters were "caught".

And in the water deep underground, there were four third-order monsters quietly folded into his hands.

Every third-level demon, even if its bloodline is outstanding, still needs decades or even hundreds of years to grow.

Regardless of the large number of third-level demons in the third-level evil veins, they have been accumulated over the long years.

Now, in just six months, more than 20 heads have been quietly lost in my own hands. The key is that it has not caused any adverse consequences.

"It seems that boiling frogs in warm water is the best way to weaken the power of monsters."

“However, there is a premise for this, that is, every hunt must be decisive and concealed.

All the third-order great demons who have witnessed me at close range must die. Relevant information cannot be spread through them and arouse the vigilance of other third-level great demons. "

“In addition, this can be regarded as an extreme micro-manipulation, and it is easy to cross the line if you are not careful.

If there is no means like a transparent moon mirror and it is impossible to accurately grasp the changes in the outside world, it will easily be self-defeating. "

After placing Bai Zhi, Meng Zhou began to process the newly harvested third-order demon corpse bones into various spiritual materials, with these thoughts swirling in his mind.

About a month later, Bai Zhi came out of the quiet room.

"How is it? How do you feel?" Meng Zhou asked.

Bai Zhi at this moment has changed a lot compared to when she was building the foundation.

On the one hand, the demeanor has obviously changed and become more outstanding, but in Meng Zhou's eyes, it is more in line with the surroundings.

Every move exudes a natural charm that is in perfect harmony with the surrounding world.

Meng Zhou thought of a word, "Heaven and man are one."

When the foundation was being built, the presence of Angelica dahurica was more abrupt and stronger than now.

If she were to show her true self at that time, the first impression that would come to people besides being stunning would be that "she is absolutely extraordinary."

While Meng Zhou was observing carefully, Bai Zhi also shared with Meng Zhou the various changes brought about by this breakthrough.

First of all, the elixir formed by Bai Zhi this time was of extremely high quality. To be more precise, it was a perfect golden elixir.

Such an astonishing achievement is only a hair short of Meng Zhou's.

Such an achievement of forming pills, if placed in the Qingxuan Territory, would definitely cause a huge uproar.

But here, it's such an understatement.

"I formed a golden elixir."

"Um."

Meng Zhou was more concerned about other changes than the quality of Angelica dahurica.

As Bai Zhi's cultivation broke through from foundation building to pill formation, her artistry also broke through from the second level peak to the third level.

As a result, a series of changes took place in her body.

First of all, her "talent" that she was born with and could ignore any formation restrictions had a wonderful change and turned into a unique escape method.

Through Bai Zhi's explanation and Meng Zhou's careful investigation, Meng Zhou discovered that her escape method was not on the same track as his Five Elements Escape.

Her special escape method presents a characteristic of "the coexistence of reality and illusion, which can be both real and illusory."

At Meng Zhou's suggestion, this talent was named "True Illusion Escape".

This ability not only gives her the ability to ignore any formation restrictions, but also gives her the ability to "change from illusion to reality" and "from reality to illusion" anytime and anywhere.

With this ability, she can become a "transparent person" or "invisible person" anytime and anywhere.

Not known by others, not seen by others, not hurt by others.

"Why does this feel more domineering than my Five Elements Escape?" Meng Zhou thought in his heart.

Five Elements Escape is a small magical power.

Then there is the new ability that Bai Zhi originally mastered after building the foundation, "drawing shapes", which has also undergone magical changes with this breakthrough.

When building the foundation, Bai Zhi's "shape drawing" ability was mainly used in two aspects.

First, a large number of spiritual planter skills allowed her to become a spiritual planter.

Another one is the abilities related to sound attack and rhythm such as the Hundred Apertures Thunder Sound obtained from Meng Zhou.

Under Meng Zhou's guidance ("fooling"), the art of music has gradually become another pillar of Bai Zhi's work after the painter.

Moreover, "sound" and "painting" confirm each other, support each other, and refer to each other.

Now, with the breakthrough of Bai Zhi's cultivation from foundation building to pill formation, the spiritual planter and musical abilities that were originally just "drawn" have undergone wonderful changes.

It became an ability that truly belonged to her.

What's the difference?

Bai Zhi can only use various methods mastered through the ability to draw shapes, but she doesn't know how to do it, let alone why.

But it was different now. She not only knew what was happening, but also knew why.

This change surprised Meng Zhou.

Because this is similar to the "skill talent" that Meng Zhou explored.

The ability to draw shapes can actually take advantage of the opportunity of a major breakthrough to "change from false to true" and completely turn into something positive.

Compared with his "skill innateization", this "drawing form transformation" has another advantage, that is, it does not require perfect skills.

However, compared with his "skill talent", the shortcomings are also obvious.

The number of skills that can be mastered through the 'shape drawing' ability at the same time is limited, but for 'skill talent', the upper limit is much higher.

But thinking about it carefully, Meng Zhou found that for practitioners other than himself, this shortcoming was really not a shortcoming.

For other monks, it is also not an easy task to cultivate the second-level skills to perfection.

The more powerful the skill, the more difficult it is to cultivate it to perfection.

Although the number of skills that can be mastered at the same time through drawing is limited, this thing can be switched and updated.

From this point of view, I really can't say that my "skill talent" is better than my "drawing form".

However, it is true that the latter has greater limitations.

Except for the painter, no one else can master it.

And after all the spiritual planter skills and music-related skills were "normalized", the "drawing position" became vacant again, and she could use this to quickly master some brand-new abilities.

And compared to when the foundation was established, the capacity has become much larger.

That is to say, there are more "drawing shapes", and Bai Zhi can use this to master more new abilities.

…

For other new Dan Formation practitioners, if they want to have the ability to form Dan Formation in all aspects and become experienced Dan Formation practitioners, they must go through a long period of accumulation.

But for Bai Zhi, who has the ability to "draw shapes", there is a shortcut.

"It's amazing." Meng Zhou praised sincerely.

After waiting for a while, Meng Zhou asked:

"So, have you thought about what abilities you want to master with this?"

Bai Zhi shook her head and said:

"I haven't thought about it yet. Do you have any suggestions?"

Meng Zhou thought about it and wanted to recommend the "Wanxiang Method" to Bai Zhi first.

In terms of conventional attack, Bai Zhi's shortcomings are very obvious.

If she could master the "Method of All Forms" through the method of drawing shapes, even if she could only achieve one or two successes in drawing, she would be able to walk sideways in the early stages of pill formation.

After thinking for a while, Meng Zhou expressed his thoughts.

But Bai Zhi was not moved at all after hearing this. Instead, she shook her head and said:

"This 'All Things Method' can indeed greatly enrich my attack methods, but for me, it does not seem to be necessary.

Although I don't have many attack methods now, with my attainments in the art of music, I don't lack the skills to kill enemies.

Moreover, the attack range is very comprehensive.

Not to mention anything else, the 'Blue Sea Tide Song' that was born from the discussion with you is very mysterious.

It can be used as a physical attack or a magic field, it can also attack the soul and even interfere with emotions.

With these methods, it is completely enough to deal with the enemies in the early stage of pill formation.

And as long as I can continue to explore and explore with great concentration, there is still extremely broad room for growth. "

"Of course, the main reason is that I am not very interested in fighting and killing.

He is not too keen on attacking methods, as long as the means are sufficient. "

Speaking of this, Bai Zhi suddenly smiled and said:

"Besides, isn't this without you?

Even if there are dangers that I can't deal with, you can easily resolve them, right?

If there is any danger that even you can't deal with, I don't think it will be of any use no matter how many offensive skills I master. "

Meng Zhou pondered for a moment and nodded slightly. He was convinced by Bai Zhi.

"Then what do you think?"

Bai Zhi said with a smile: "As good as your other skills are, I am very covetous of your ability to make tea and brew wine."

"That's it."

Bai Zhi's answer surprised Meng Zhou.

However, when I think about it carefully, she seems to be a good match for the two "styles" of music and painting.

Meng Zhou nodded slightly.

"Okay, if that's the case, then you can wait.

I am still reorganizing the path in this area. After I finish sorting it out, you can draw the shape again. "

"Yeah." Bai Zhi nodded, not feeling regretful.

She had just made a breakthrough. She should have put cultivation as her first priority, and other things could be moved to the back. She was not in a hurry.

"Is there more?" Meng Zhou asked.

Bai Zhi originally had two abilities, and the painting form was obtained after she broke through the foundation building in her cultivation.

But now, her cultivation level has risen to another level.

Bai Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, I call him the 'Painting God'."

Meng Zhou looked shocked and asked curiously: "Painting God? How is it different from painting form? What is the specific expression?"

Bai Zhi thought for a moment and said, "How about I demonstrate it to you personally?"

Meng Zhou nodded quickly: "Okay."

Bai Zhi did not act immediately. Under Meng Zhou's gaze, a look of embarrassment gradually appeared on her face.

Meng Zhou was confused, "Why, isn't it convenient for a demonstration?"

Bai Zhi shook her head and said, "No, then I'll demonstrate... Just relax and don't resist."

"Yes." Meng Zhou nodded, looking forward to it.

Bai Zhi had already stretched out her finger and gently tapped Meng Zhou's forehead.

The next moment, Meng Zhou felt a gentle suction coming from Bai Zhi's fingertips.

This suction is very special, penetrating the sea of ​​consciousness and reaching directly to the soul.

Meng Zhou could easily break away from this suction force, but thinking of Bai Zhi's instructions just now, he relaxed his mind and allowed this suction force to seep into the sea of ​​consciousness.

Then, Meng Zhou felt the world change.

The next moment, he found that he appeared in Bai Zhi's sea of ​​​​consciousness, and there was another fairy-like Bai Zhi standing in front of him. (End of chapter)
