Do not die

Spiritual power comes from the world.

Creatures born between heaven and earth are nourished by heaven and earth, and are also controlled by heaven and earth. It is as if every life has an invisible "shackle" given by heaven and earth from the moment it is born.

Because of this basic relationship, the "peace" between the practitioner and the spiritual power is very deep, and the results are both pros and cons.

On the plus side, this creates a ladder for practitioners to move up step by step and continue to grow.

The more spiritual power you absorb and refine, and the higher its quality, the looser the invisible "shackles" around you will become.

As a result, life continues to grow, its strength becomes stronger, and its lifespan becomes longer and longer.

These are all advantages, but they also bring "disadvantages".

Its biggest disadvantage is that the life level of the practitioner is tightly bound to the upper limit of the spiritual power that can be called upon.

For example, the spiritual power that a Qi Practitioner can use is basically limited to the first level;

The spiritual power that a foundation-building monk can call upon is basically within the second-level category;

The spiritual power that the Danjie monks can mobilize is basically limited to the third level.

Of course, this restriction is not absolute. For example, some special talismans, talismans made at great cost by the alchemy monks, or spirit puppets that can act independently... these can circumvent this restriction to a certain extent.

But it's still very troublesome.

This is also the reason why Meng Zhou values ​​​​the Fanlu Star Lotus clone so much.

Because in theory, as long as there are more clones of Fanlu Star Lotus, the upper limit of the star power he can call will be more.

Upper limit?

Theoretically there is no upper limit.

Of course, on the one hand, it is impossible for Meng Zhou to have "unlimited" Qinglian Life Spiritual Essence;

On the other hand, even if it is possible to increase the number of Dew Star Lotus clones and expand the scale of the clone formation, the pressure brought about by continuous purification and continuous improvement of quality can be continuously shared and diluted.

But Fanlu Xinglian's clone is only a third-level top-grade clone after all.

The pressure released by the improvement of star power quality does not increase linearly, but increases exponentially.

Under the premise that the number of Dew Star Lotus clones will only increase linearly according to the birth rate of Qinglian's spiritual marrow, the quality of the star power that can be supported by the third-level ultimate Dew Star Lotus clone as the cornerstone will still be affected by objective reality. restrictions.

It can't really be "unlimited".

But that's enough.

At least, this provides Meng Zhou, who is at the eighth level of the alchemy, with a relatively simple and easy-to-implement method of calling on the fourth level of power.

After gaining such confidence, the pressure brought by Yuanying monk on him suddenly weakened a lot.

After realizing the most basic fourth-level star power call through five Dew Star Lotus clones, Meng Zhou began to design a "Clone Array" with the participation of more Dew Star Lotus clones, a larger scale, and more complex functions.

If there are six clones of the Star Lotus, how should the formation be arranged?

If the clones continue to increase, what if there are nine? What about the twelve?

What if the number of Dew Star Lotus clones continues to increase, thirty-six, forty-nine, eighty-one... or even one hundred and eight?

With the blessing of the transparent Taoist body and the help of the profound Tao of Talisman Array, Meng Zhou felt that his thinking was more active than ever before.

When the number of Dew Star Lotus clones did not exceed the number of fingers on both hands, one new formation after another had a complete and detailed "formation plan" almost the moment he remembered it.

Moreover, there is more than one, each with its own tendencies.

Some have the shortest formation time and the fastest efficiency; some have the greatest power... and so on.

But when the number of Dew Star Lotus clones increased to double digits, the "array" began to become complicated.

When he started to think, the Linglian clones flickered and jumped in his mind, like the Yi Ma Xin Yuan that was getting harder and harder to subjugate.

Meng Zhou could feel the huge drain on his mental energy every time he "subdued" someone.

More and more time is consumed.

Considering that the timing was not right, Meng Zhou decisively stopped going deeper and temporarily fixed the "Clone Formation" at the "Nine Clone Formation" level.

Therefore, Meng Zhou cultivated four more clones of the Dew Star Lotus.

Due to the previous continuous consumption, there are only 147 drops of the third-level middle-grade Qinglian Life Essence left.

In order to cultivate these four Dew Star Lotus clones, Meng Zhou consumed 177 drops of the third-order high-grade Green Lotus Life Essence after consuming all the third-level mid-grade Green Lotus Life Essence Essence.

In this way, after consuming all the third-level mid-grade Green Lotus Life Spirit Essence, and adding 177 drops of the third-level high-grade Green Lotus Life Spirit Marrow, Meng Zhou obtained one Ice Lotus clone and nine Star Lotus clones. , and a gold-pink double-pedicle lotus.

After doing all this, three days have passed.

Then, Meng Zhou spent another ten days completing the first retreat of the new year.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, late at night.

[Cultivation progress +300, eighth level of elixir formation 1625/10,000;

The true picture of Hanhai Mingyue +10,800, Master 76,800/160,000]

After coming out of seclusion, Meng Zhou thought about his next plan.

At this moment, there is still more than half a month before the agreed time.

Meng Zhou also continued to refine the first thought that came to his mind after learning about the changes in the Xingxiu Palace.

Meng Zhou spent several days carefully and repeatedly considering it in his mind.

Then, with a thought, he summoned Bai Zhi who was sleeping in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Bai Zhi, who was lying on the stone couch next to Meng Zhou, opened her eyes and woke up. When she just woke up, she looked at her surroundings and was a little confused at first. However, after seeing Meng Zhou, she suddenly became enlightened.

"How long did I sleep this time?" Bai Zhi asked.

Meng Zhou smiled and said, "It's not too long."

Then, Meng Zhou told her some important information.

Meng Zhou did not hide the news from Bai Zhi that the Nascent Soul might have been born in Xingxiu Palace and was about to re-emerge.

However, while sharing this information with her, Meng Zhou also paid careful attention to the changes in Bai Zhi's expression.

After hearing this information, Bai Zhi was a little shocked at first, and then turned to worry.

In her perception, although she was a "remnant of the Yan family" and could barely be related to Xingxiu Palace, she had never put herself in the role of a "close member of Xingxiu Palace".

With a worried look on her face, she asked a question that shocked Meng Zhou.

She looked around and said, "So, we can't stay with Qi Yunfeng for much longer?"

"Ah?" Meng Zhou was a little surprised that this was the issue she was most concerned about, but she still nodded and said, "Well, yes."

Bai Zhi sighed and asked: "Then...where will our next destination be?"

Meng Zhou shook his head and said, "It's not decided yet... What do you think?"

Bai Zhi shook her head, "I don't have any objections, just make up your mind. I just hope that I can stay in the next place for as long as possible."

At this point, she couldn't help but sigh again, as if she was feeling a little emotional about her "displacement" over the years.

From her perspective, she should have such emotion.

They thought that after being with this "destined man", they could live leisurely and practice comfortably, but how many times have they moved in just a few years?

Sanchuan Plateau, Aurora Cave, Qiyun Peak...

Now, Qi Yunfeng has not been here for a long time, but his new home has not yet been settled.

It is simply more "unfixed" than when I was alone with an apprentice.

Meng Zhou smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll try my best."

When Bai Zhi saw this, a slight smile appeared on her face at first, but soon she shook her head and said:

"I just said it casually, but please don't take it seriously... Now is not the time to think about whether you have a family or not. The most important thing is not to let Xingxiu Palace catch you."

Speaking of this, she seemed to have thought of something, and asked with a worried look: "If Xingxiu Palace returns to Qingxuan Territory again, there will be great turmoil in the cultivation world, right?"

Meng Zhou already knew what she was worried about and asked, "Are you worried about Zhu Qian?"

Bai Zhi nodded and said, "Yes."

Meng Zhou comforted him and said:

"Don't worry, the spiritual practice world may experience some turmoil, but Xingxiu Palace is not an evil sect, and it is impossible to launch a purge against the entire spiritual practice world.

I estimate that even if Xingxiu Palace is resentful, at most it will only limit the scope of its attack to the top five sects.

Otherwise, what is the difference between it and the devil? "

When making this judgment, Meng Zhou added in his mind that in addition to the top executives of the five sects, he should also include the top executives of the "Qihuang Sect" where he belongs and the Professionals Association that is closely related to him.

Because he knew very well how deep the relationship between him and the person behind Yan Zhuang was.

In the face of this "hate that blocks the road", even the five sects together do not have as much hatred as themselves.

However, it is good that he understands this matter himself, there is no need to say it to make Bai Zhi worry.

Moreover, faced with this "death-to-die" knot, Meng Zhou already had a rather whimsical solution in his mind.

Now, he will use the next less than half a month to verify whether this whimsical idea is feasible.

Bai Zhi was thoughtful and reluctantly accepted Meng Zhou's reasons, but the worry in her heart was not completely gone.

She thought about it carefully and said:

“In the Qingxuan Domain cultivation world, Sanchuan Yuan is still too eye-catching.

Zhu Qian has been operating in Sanchuanyuan for many years and is quite famous, which is likely to attract the attention of Xingxiu Palace.

Otherwise, let her disguise herself, change her name, leave Sanchuanyuan, keep a low profile for a few years, and avoid this first wave of limelight? "

Meng Zhou nodded and said, "Okay, this is indeed more secure."

Seeing that Meng Zhou agreed, Bai Zhi said happily: "Then let's make arrangements now?"

When thinking about her apprentice Zhu Qian, the first thought that came to her mind was to bring her to her side.

However, in the end, this idea only circulated in her mind for a moment, and she threw it away on her own initiative.

First, she didn't want to embarrass Meng Zhou.

Furthermore, she also realized that this was actually not appropriate. For Zhu Qian, it was actually safer for her to "hide the sea".

Meng Zhou said hurriedly: "Don't be busy. I will make arrangements at Zhu Qian's place. Let's talk about another thing first."

Bai Zhi quickly asked: "What's the matter?"

Meng Zhou waved his hand gently, and three third-level low-grade Tai Sui bodies appeared in front of him.

These three Tai Sui bodies are blurry in appearance, and they are the "original" Tai Sui bodies that have not been transformed into flesh and blood by the heart essence and blood.

Bai Zhi stared at the three Tai Sui bodies that suddenly appeared with curiosity on her face, and asked, "What are these?"

Meng Zhou briefly explained their functions, and then asked:

"Can you transform them into three completely different flesh and blood bodies that have no connection with each other?"

Listening to Meng Zhou's narration, Bai Zhi's eyes opened wider and wider. By the end, her eyes were full of surprise and disbelief.

After listening to Meng Zhou's request, Bai Zhi's eyes were not completely sure, but full of excitement and eagerness to try.

She shook her head and said, "Maybe I can give it a try, but I can't guarantee it."

As she spoke, the silhouette of an old woman appeared in front of Bai Zhi.

As the old woman's shadow disappeared into Bai Zhi's body, Bai Zhi transformed into the image of an old woman.

Not only the appearance has changed, but the bones, organs, meridians, and Dantian have also undergone corresponding changes that are consistent with the characteristics of the old woman.

Even the breath of life naturally carries the air of decay that only an old person can have.

Not only has the body undergone a very complete change, but the soul has also transformed into the form of an old woman, naturally exuding the aura of decay and twilight.

Then, a ball of blood appeared in Bai Zhi's hand, which turned into the image of a hunched old woman. This was the essence of her heart.

She gently tossed the ball of heart essence and blood, and the ball of heart essence and blood sank into the mouth of a Tai Sui body. Soon, the ball of heart essence and blood seeped into the mouth, and then spread to the limbs and bones of the Tai Sui body. .

Wherever the essence and blood of the heart go, Tai Sui's flesh and blood, which is as white as gelatinous jade, turns into bones, meridians, blood vessels, Dantian, muscles, organs, skin... and transforms into a real flesh and blood body that can no longer be real.

The appearance of this flesh and blood body is exactly the same as Bai Zhi's image of the old woman at this moment.

Not only is the external shape completely consistent, but the flesh, blood, bones, organs and meridians are also completely consistent with the old woman's state.

Looking at the transformed body of Tai Sui, the two of them looked at it carefully for a while, but said nothing. Bai Zhi looked at the second "original version" of Tai Sui's body.

At this moment, her image has changed from a twilight old woman to a handsome young man.

Just when she was about to take out the heart essence and blood, Meng Zhou suddenly said: "Can you lower your cultivation level to the state when you first entered the pill formation?"

Bai Zhi paused after hearing this and nodded: "Of course."

Soon, she "refreshed" her current form.

He is still the handsome young man, but his cultivation has been reduced a lot.

Then, she once again found a ball of heart essence and blood and injected it into the second "original version" of Tai Sui's body.

Soon, this Tai Sui body transformed into the appearance of a handsome young man.

This Tai Sui body, which is the strongest and can reach the peak level of the third level of Dan formation, is limited by the strength of the "handsome young man" himself, and only has the strength of just entering the Dan formation.

Not long after, Bai Zhi also completed the transformation of the third Tai Sui body.

A calm old man with the second level of alchemy.

After finishing, the two people stepped forward and began to carefully inspect it from the inside out.

After a long time, Bai Zhi shook her head and said:

"I didn't find any flaws... If you want me to judge, as long as you ignore the soul, they are three completely different practitioners.

Did you find any flaws? "

Meng Zhou shook his head and said: "I didn't find it."

But then he asked: "Do you think Yuanying can find a flaw?" (End of Chapter)
