Chapter 205 The Wonder of the Furnace
Riding on the Xingyun Boat, Mo Juren rushed to the Zanghe Cave at an extremely fast speed.
In addition to resisting strong winds and stabilizing the boat, the protective array of this flying boat also has a certain concealment effect, so there is no need to worry about being seen by mortals when flying in the air, and it can directly fly over some small towns.
Mo Juren saw his own lotus cave from afar and found that everything was normal, so he approached and said loudly,
"Where is Qing'er? Master, I'm back. Quickly start the formation."
The illusion array outside the cave disappeared immediately, and Zhang Qing looked at Mo Juren floating in the air with surprise. After paying his respects, he entered the cave, opened the array, and welcomed Mo Juren down.
"Qing'er respectfully welcomes the master back to the mansion!" Zhang Qing said in a very obedient and polite manner, "The master is truly extremely powerful and can even fly in the air. Congratulations on the master's increased magical powers."
Mo Juren laughed and said,
"Well, it's just the flying boat magic weapon, it can't be regarded as any magical power. Qing'er, you haven't been back for half a year, is everything in the cave all right?"
Zhang Qing nodded repeatedly.
"Everything is fine. Qing'er has done everything the master asked."
Mo Juren lifted her pretty face and saw that Zhang Qing not only looked radiant over the past few days, but also looked younger and younger.
Perhaps it was because Mo Juren had given her some Xiangyan Dan before, and the female monk had the nourishment of magical power, which was simply the best means of maintenance.
So Mo Juren said with satisfaction,
"Yes, well done. How far has Qing'er's cultivation progressed? How about letting me test you?"
Zhang Qingjie answered obediently,
"Qing'er has already cultivated to the third level of Changchun Gong, please rest assured, Master."
Mo Juren smiled evilly and said,
"The test I'm talking about is more than just a verbal question, do you understand, Qing'er?"
Zhang Qing's eyes blurred instantly upon hearing this, and he subconsciously closed the cave formation with the token in his hand...
As the saying goes, a long separation is better than a new marriage. Although Zhang Qing is not Mo Juren's legal wife, her special furnace-like physique is what Mo Juren values and loves the most.
The two were well matched in chess, and they played against each other all night long, without stopping, with so many tricks that there is no need to describe them in detail.
As for why Mo Juren was so eager, it was certainly not just for enjoyment.
It was only because of the continuous dual cultivation with Honglian and Madam Xiang, with the help of their Yin Yuan, that Mo Juren's Golden Light Illumination Technique had been cultivated to the eighth peak, but he was still unable to take the final step.
The ninth level of Qi Refining is not just a simple increase of strength. According to the records in the exercises, practicing to this level was already the pinnacle of the Qi Refining stage in the past, and it was only one step away from building the foundation.
The biggest difference between foundation-building cultivators and those who practice Qi refining is the construction of the purple palace and the cultivation of spiritual consciousness.
Only with the help of spiritual consciousness can one greatly increase control, and then use magical instruments and powerful spells on a large scale and long distance, and even control magic weapons, to gain an overwhelming advantage over Qi Refining monks.
Although there is a method of cultivation in the world of immortal cultivation that states that one can take foundation-building pills after reaching the seventh level of Qi Refining, the potential of a cultivator who forcibly raises his level to this level is basically equivalent to nothing, and it is difficult for him to make any progress in his cultivation after building the foundation.
Only after practicing step by step to the ninth level of Qi Refining, and then seeking to break through to the Foundation Establishment, is this the most conventional understanding that conforms to the Great Dao.
Therefore, the ninth level of Qi Refining, as a prerequisite for the foundation-building period, requires not only the growth of magic power, but also some kind of advancement in the soul.
Mo Juren felt that his chance to break through to the ninth level should still lie with Zhang Qing, who had the furnace-like physique.
Since he had recently come into contact with the two dual cultivation techniques of Yin-Yang Vertical Combination Technique and Ghost Crane Replenishment Technique, Mo Juren could not help but use some of these techniques while enjoying himself. It was unknown whether Zhang Qing was innocent or had a furnace-cauldron constitution, but her whole body of magic power and Yin Yuan had no defense against Mo Juren at all.
There is no need to use medicinal mist to stimulate the state like Dai Guang did. If Mo Juren is willing, he can use the Ghost Crane Replenishing Technique at any time and easily drain her!
And what Zhang Qing said was true. Her three Zhoutian meridians were already complete, and a breakthrough in the fourth meridian was just around the corner!
Mo Juren is now like a person who has been hungry for three days. Suddenly he sees a table full of food opposite the door and there is no one guarding it. Should he eat it or not?
After a moment of hesitation, Mo Juren immediately convinced himself and said to Zhang Qing, who was in a daze,
"Qing'er, don't worry. Since you have helped me so much, I, Mo Ju, will definitely not treat you unfairly."
Then, like a dragon sucking water, he drew Zhang Qing's cultivation into his own Dharma lineage.
Lu Ding's physique is different from that of ordinary female cultivators. The cultivation base snatched from Zhang Qing can be directly used by Mo Juren.
Even the precious primordial Yin Yuan like the Red Lotus cannot be transformed as efficiently as Zhang Qing's.
This combined magic power of two people worked together and poured in, filling Mo Juren's eight magic veins one by one.
From the limbs to the internal organs, from the skin and flesh to the tendons, bones, veins and marrow, and finally gathered at the chest and back, taking advantage of this residual force, it directly penetrated the two major meridians of Ren and Du, and opened up the ninth magic meridian.
The ninth level of Qi Refining, done!
At this moment, time seemed to slow down suddenly, and everything around him seemed to stop. Mo Juren felt that his consciousness was floating, and he actually passed through the cave directly and saw everything outside the cave clearly.
However, his body was definitely not moving inside the cave.
Just when he was so surprised that he didn't know what was going on and wanted to investigate it carefully, this consciousness seemed to have stretched to its limit and immediately began to shrink.
At this moment, the feeling of seeing things through a wall disappeared, and everything returned to normal.
In just the moment of breakthrough, Mo Juren experienced the feeling of having "divine consciousness".
Afterwards, he came to his senses and temporarily ignored Zhang Qing who seemed unconscious. He sat cross-legged and used the spiritual energy in the cave to consolidate his cultivation.
The next day, Zhang Qing woke up and saw Mo Juren still practicing hard on the stone bed, but she seemed to have forgotten what had happened.
Then he realized the situation inside his body. His cultivation level had dropped from the third level of Qi Refining to the first level!
Mo Juren opened his eyes and comforted her,
"Qing'er, don't worry. I did something to you last night. It's all my fault for not asking for your consent beforehand."
"But thanks to your help, Qing'er, I have now successfully broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining!"
Zhang Qing was just confused for a moment, then he said happily,
"Really? I didn't expect Qing'er to be able to help the master with his cultivation. Qing'er is so happy that she can't wait to blame me!"
Mo Juren saw that she was speaking sincerely and didn't seem to be false, so he smiled and said,
"Don't worry, Qing'er. I will help you double your lost cultivation!"
