Strange mountains and rivers

When Chen Huaisheng woke up, he was still filled with a warm breath.

A light golden look fell on the stone bed.

He could no longer remember how many times he had woken up, but from the meat jerky placed on the table in front of the window and the spiritual plants sealed in ice, he could roughly estimate that he had been in meditation for another three or four days.

After the Great Cold, the frequency of monster attacks began to decrease. From the Great Cold to New Year's Eve, there was only one monster attack, and it was only an Aolong, which was quickly solved and became the most delicious meat jerky source for the people in the mountain.

Well, the meat jerky in front of him should be the meat jerky made from the softest part of the Aolong's abdomen.

An Aolong weighs at least two or three thousand kilograms. Excluding bones, blood, tendons, skin, and internal organs that cannot be eaten, the meat is at least more than 1,200 kilograms. If used to make dried meat jerky, there can be a harvest of 300 to 400 kilograms.

It sounds like a lot, but in the entire Yunzhong Mountain, dozens of people need to eat it every day. According to the calculation of five to eight kilograms of fresh meat and two to three kilograms of meat jerky, the meat needed every day is about two to three hundred kilograms of fresh meat or one hundred kilograms of meat jerky. An Aolong can only withstand four or five days of consumption.

This also shows how difficult it is to bear the consumption of a place.

Originally, there was no such a large demand on Yunzhong Mountain, but with more than ten disciples of Guipeng Sect and Yuhan Sect going up the mountain, the demand doubled at once. The original reserves on Yunzhong Mountain were a bit stretched, and fortunately, there were some supplements in the battles one after another.

From Xiaoxue to New Year's Eve, there were so many battles, and many monsters were killed.

But the meat of the Fire Mane Lion and the Ghost Abyss Mangshe is almost inedible. Except for the special parts of the body that can be used to make magic tools and robes, the rest is not very useful.

The meat of dire wolves, border wolves, and jackals is barely edible, but not very tasty, and the meat jerky made from it is not very popular, but at least one can contribute one or two hundred kilograms of meat.

Of course, for many cultivators, it is good to have monster meat to fill their stomachs, which is much better than eating Jiahe, Yumai, and Lingsu all day long, which makes their mouths dry.

There is almost no meat on monster beasts and birds such as black thunder leopards, five-hearted charm cats, ghost jackals, blood eagles, and Moyun white eagles, which are the least cost-effective.

The most valuable ones are red-haired mammoths and Aolongs. They are large in size. A red-haired mammoth weighs about four thousand kilograms, and pure meat can weigh about two thousand kilograms. Aolongs are slightly smaller, but their meat is very delicious, and they are popular when eaten fresh, and they are also very popular when made into meat jerky.

The meat of these monsters is not comparable to the meat of low-grade monsters such as the red flying deer, exquisite rabbit, arrow deer, running sheep, and iron-maned wild boar. The meat of these low-grade monsters is much more tender than that of these high-grade monsters, but the individuals are much smaller, and most of them can be considered to be obtained by breeding.

However, apart from the taste of the meat, the value of spiritual power alone is much higher than that of the meat of low-grade monsters.

Thinking a little too far, Chen Huaisheng turned over after regulating his breath and purifying his breath.

The fifth level of foundation building has been jumped over.

However, this kind of intermittent retreat, each retreat time is not long, the shortest is two or three days, and the longest is no more than seven days. In the past month, Chen Huaisheng has survived like this, and the fifth level of foundation building has been achieved in this way without knowing it.

However, Chen Huaisheng didn't care too much. He even regretted that he couldn't retreat as thoroughly as last time, and spent a year and a half to advance to the third level in one go.

Chen Huaisheng was not surprised that he easily crossed the fifth level of foundation building. After the spiritual root was replaced by the spiritual vine, Chen Huaisheng realized that his spiritual root (spiritual vine) had improved a lot in comprehension, and the promoting effect on the Taoist bone, meridians, and blood marrow was also increasingly evident.

I can't remember the time, Chen Huaisheng can only roughly estimate that it should be around the 22nd day of the first lunar month. The Lantern Festival has passed for several days, and the first lunar month is about to pass. Without the interference of other factors, the weather should slowly warm up.

Feeling that there is a lot of oil, mud and dirt on his body, Chen Huaisheng got up. He needed to wash up.

Soaking in the hot spring, Chen Huaisheng didn't tell anyone. He wanted to use solitude to sober up and sort himself out.

It should be said that his Taoist body is now in the best state in history. The spiritual vine replaces the old spiritual root to become the new spiritual root, but it exists in the form of a spiritual vine composed of twelve spiritual buds. Both the spirituality and tenacity are far superior to the original old spiritual root, and there is still a lot of room for growth. This is what Chen Huaisheng is most happy about.

The spiritual essence of King Jinxu Ao played a big role in this. The two spirits of the tiger and the ape refined the spiritual essence and fed back to him. Then the guidance of the spiritual roots was also of great help. In addition, the internal training technique obtained from the Mi family was broken through. The three came together and finally made his biggest weakness spiritual roots reborn.

Dao bone itself is his strongest item. After repeated baptisms in this round of monster tides, coupled with the nourishment of Yuan salmon, Qingzhi, and Roushu, Dao bone has also entered a new realm. It can be said that if the new spiritual root can be enlightened to make its own magic power to the extreme, then the acceptance of Dao bone also allows the magic power to be released without any constraints without worrying about backlash.

Now that he has reached the fifth level of foundation building, the magic power is still rising. Now Chen Huaisheng is confident that he can easily release magic power that exceeds the seventh level of foundation building, or even the eighth level of foundation building.

Meridians and blood marrow have been tempered and honed in several fights in this round of monster tides.

Spiritual roots and Taoist bones are the foundation, while meridians and blood marrow are the powerful guarantee to support practice and casting spells.

Without strong meridians, it is difficult for mana to flow and release smoothly, and both cultivation and spellcasting will be restricted. Similarly, without sufficient and thick blood marrow, spiritual cultivation and Dao bone solidification will lack stamina. These factors both affect and promote each other.

Chen Huaisheng made rapid progress in the refinement of his spiritual roots and Dao bones, which also promoted the improvement of his meridians and blood marrow. Similarly, the nourishment of meridians and blood marrow by Yueju and Qianye Molian seeds also made the improvement of spiritual roots and Dao bones smoother and smoother.

Advancing to the fifth level of foundation building seems to be only one level higher than the fourth level of foundation building, but this level is not easy to come by.

It turned out that Chen Huaisheng needed to use all his strength to release the combat power of the high stage of foundation building when casting spells, and he could not be distracted at all. If he performed poorly, he could only be the combat power of the sixth level of foundation building. But now, after the fifth level of foundation building, he can easily improve his magic combat power to the high stage of foundation building, and he can even distract himself to solve other problems.

Chen Huaisheng felt that he still had plenty of room for spiritual practice, but this time he jumped to the fifth level of foundation building without even realizing it. In fact, he originally hoped that he would spend three to five months or a year and a half to replicate the miracle of breaking through the third level again, but it was a pity that he was "destroyed" by this "inadvertent" breakthrough.

Chen Huaisheng estimated that if others knew about this, he didn't know how many people would secretly curse him. This was indeed a bit too pretentious.

But he really thought so in his heart and planned to do so. Once the cold winter passed and the monster tide receded, he would use the next year to try to break through and impact the high stage of foundation building. It was only the second level, and he had the confidence.

He still needed to think carefully about the practice of other spells.

Thunder magic was naturally the highlight, but the Yinming Ghost Arrow, which was originally regarded as a chicken rib, now seemed to have room for improvement. As a small spell to hide, temporarily sneak attack or supplement, it was still quite useful.

In the basic magic practice, he was also considering how to integrate these fragmented and unsystematic basic practice spells, such as the internal practice essentials, the Dragon and Tiger Three Yuans, the Three Elephants Returning to the Origin, and the Lingbao Minghuang Essentials, and combine them with his own Dao body and the three spirits in the cauldron to form a complete and even perfect practice spell system that fits his own Dao body. There is still a long way to go.

But Chen Huaisheng knew that his foundation had been laid very solid. It can be said that from the current fifth level of foundation building to the ninth level of foundation building and even the peak of foundation building, he would follow this path. The root bone has been determined, and it depends on how to integrate and merge these basic practice spells.

Seeing that this winter is about to pass, everyone is now in a much more relaxed state of mind.

Chen Huaisheng finally broke through the barrier and advanced to the fifth level of foundation building, which also made the people in the mountain very happy.

Now the situations of the people in the mountain are different, but Chen Huaisheng has also vaguely told everyone about the future development path of the Chonghua School, that is, everyone should use this winter to consider the future direction.

Either go to Chongyang Mountain in Ji County, or follow Li Yu to stay in Wolong Ridge, but it will only take two or three years of transition. In the end, you still have to go to Chongyang Mountain in Ji County, or follow Chen Huaisheng, and the destination proposed by Chen Huaisheng is Dahuai Mountain.

The disciples of Lingyun Sect are very familiar with Dahuai Mountain. For example, Yang Husheng and others all agree that they have been in Dahuai Mountain for a few years and they all think that Dahuai Mountain is actually better and more compact than Wolong Ridge. Of course, the location is a little farther, mainly because it is too close to Yuelu Sect and Tianhe Sect, and will be subject to pressure and interference from these two parties.

However, disciples of Jiulian Sect are quite unfamiliar with Dahuai Mountain.

The situation of disciples on Yunzhong Mountain is also complicated now.

Song Daoyang died, leaving behind three people including Xu Tianyuan from Jingfu Sect. They are likely to follow Chen Huaisheng.

Tang Jingtian and Yan Chixia brought more than ten disciples from Guipeng Sect and Yuhan Sect into the mountain. Tang Jingtian's attitude has not yet been determined, but Jing Zhonghong is very interested and willing to go to Dahuai Mountain.

Although the Yan brothers and sisters were somewhat interested, the other disciples of Yuhan Sect were not very interested in following Chen Huaisheng to Dahuai Mountain.

The remaining ones were the children of the Min family. They were still hesitant about whether to return to Minjialou or follow to Dahuai Mountain, and they still had to see the opinions of the Min family.

As for the others, they were the first batch to follow Chen Huaisheng, so naturally they only followed Chen Huaisheng's lead.
