Chapter 157: Concentrating the Mind

Recalling the information on the map I just saw, Du Xiaochuan finally confirmed the surrounding environment again and walked in a selected direction. About ten minutes away, a simple stone cottage appeared in his sight. The cottage was at the foot of a tall mountain and was inconspicuous. If you didn't pay too much attention, you would not be able to find the existence of this cottage. However, when you saw this cottage, Du Xiaochuan's face first showed joy and walked towards the cottage.

His destination is there.

The door of the cottage was slightly open, and with the dull sound, the small stone door of Du Xiaochuan was opened.

As the door was opened, the structure of the stone cottage also appeared in front of Du Xiaochuan. The stone cottage was not big in size, only twenty square meters. The stone cottage was somewhat acquainted with pawnshops and medicine shops in ancient times. In front was something like a horizontal counter that was more than one meter high, which divided the entire cottage into two equal halves. The front of the counter was empty and there was no special place. However, behind the counter, there were small drawers-like things, which completely covered the wall behind the counter. Apart from this special place, the stone cottage was very clean and had no other decorations. However, behind the counter, there was an old man with a thin face sitting on a chair with his eyes closed.

Seeing that the stone door was pushed open, the old man who seemed to be asleep gently opened his eyes, looked at the man in black robe who appeared in front of him, and said lightly: "Your Excellency, I wonder what's wrong with coming to the training ground? Are you going to rent a training room?"

Just like going to the auction, Du Xiaochuan came to the training ground for spiritual practitioners to use this time, and was wearing a black robe that could be used to block the spiritual sense of the practitioners and completely cover up their appearance.

Hearing the old man's inquiry, Du Xiaochuan replied in a hoarse voice: "My fellow Taoist is right. I came here before this time to rent a training ground. As far as I know, if I want to rent a training ground according to the rules, I have to go to the fellow Taoist to get a token. I wonder if this is the case?"

Before coming here, Du Xiaochuan had a little inquiry about the training ground. He knew that if he wanted to rent the training room of this training ground for practice, he needed to receive a special token.

"You are right. This training ground needs to be opened with a special token. This token does need to be collected from me. I wonder what level of training ground you are going to rent?"

"Level?" Du Xiaochuan couldn't help but ask in suspicion when he heard the old man's inquiry.

Hearing Du Xiaochuan's puzzled voice, the old man glanced at him and saw that the man in black robe in front of him really didn't understand, so he couldn't help but explain: "It seems that this is your first time to come to the training ground and I don't know that there are levels in this training ground. The mountain behind me has 360 training grounds. According to the training grounds that can provide, it is divided into three levels, namely junior, intermediate and advanced. The number of spirit stones collected in different levels of training grounds is also different. The primary training ground requires thirty spirit stones every time you enter. The intermediate training ground is seventy spirit stones. The high-level training ground has a relatively high-end equipment, but it requires 120 spirit stones every time you enter."

When Du Xiaochuan heard the old man's introduction, he was stunned. Before coming, he had inquired about some of the situations in this training ground, but he didn't know much about the specific situation. He didn't know that there was such a level division in this training ground. Although he didn't know the problem of level division in the training ground, Du Xiaochuan also knew what kind of training ground he needed in the third pill recipe.

"I really don't know much about the level of this training ground. But can fellow Taoist tell me whether there is a kind of place called the "Spiritual Concentration Bone Room" in this training ground. What I need is this kind of training ground...!" Du Xiaochuan looked at the old man and asked him about it.

The Concentrating Bone Room is a place of need mentioned in the third elixir recipe. Only in the facilities provided by the Concentrating Bone Room can Du Xiaochuan make the elixirs in the third elixir recipe have an effect.

"The Concentration of the Mind Bone Room? Is the training ground you mentioned the kind of "Concentration of the Mind Bone Room" that is specifically used to condense the martial arts ideas of practitioners in Kongming Realm?" When he heard Du Xiaochuan mention the words "Concentration of the Mind Bone Room", the old man looked at Du Xiaochuan in surprise.

According to the needs of different practitioners, there are special categories in the training ground. For example, the training ground that Du Xiaochuan was going to was specially opened for practitioners in the spiritual realm. Because practitioners in the spiritual realm have distinctions between the Kongming realm and the magic realm in the first stage, the training ground is generally divided into these two major categories. Among these two major categories, there are also a small classification based on the characteristics of the functions provided by the training ground. Among them, the "Spirit of the Mind and the Bone Room" belongs to an extremely special training room category dedicated to the practitioners in the Kongming realm.

"Yes, it is the kind of spiritual bone chamber that is specially used to condense the martial arts ideas of practitioners in the Kongming Realm. According to my inquiry, there should be talent in this training ground." Seeing the surprised expression on the old man's face, Du Xiaochuan continued to ask.

"Is the Concentrating Bone Room? Among the 360 ​​training grounds in the mountain behind, there is indeed a 'Concentrating Bone Room', one of the only ten advanced training grounds in the mountain I am guarding. But you, are you really sure you want to enter this 'Concentrating Bone Room'?" After getting a positive answer from Du Xiaochuan, the old man confirmed to Du Xiaochuan again.

When Du Xiaochuan heard the old man's question again, he did not say anything, but nodded silently.

Seeing Du Xiaochuan nodding, he frowned and finally smiled kindly, saying, "Your Excellency, although it is the freedom of fellow Taoists to enter the "Spiritual Bone Room". However, I would like to remind you here that although this "Spiritual Bone Room" has the greatest effect on condensing martial arts ideas among the many training methods in the Kongming Realm, I advise you to give up. After all, 120 spirit stones are not a small amount, so don't waste them in vain. I have been guarding this training ground here for many years, and although I have seen many people enter this "Spiritual Bone Room" because they want to quickly condense their martial arts ideas. However, among these people, the longest one has been out of this "Spiritual Bone Room". Moreover, no one of these people who have entered the "Spiritual Bone Room" for cultivation has ever been willing to enter this "Spiritual Bone Room".

The second time in the Shencun Bone Room. They would rather choose those methods that have a relatively low speed of martial arts mind than enter this "Spiritual Concentration Bone Room" for training. The pain caused by the cultivation method of the "Spiritual Concentration Bone Room" is not something that humans can bear at all. So I advise fellow Taoists to give up and choose other methods of concentrating martial arts mind and virtue. Although there is only such a "Spiritual Concentration Bone Room" in the training field in the mountain behind, no one dares to try it for a long time. The recent one who dared to try this "Spiritual Concentration Bone Method" and the method of concentrating martial arts mind was also a few years ago. The "Spiritual Concentration Bone Room" has been empty for several years. Even the last person only stayed in the "Spiritual Concentration Bone Room" for an hour, and chose to give up because he could not bear the pain caused by this exercise method."

The "Spirit of Mind and Bone Method" has a powerful effect on cultivating martial arts ideas for practitioners in Kongming Realm. Not to mention the aliens like Du Xiaochuan who take a lot of elixirs. Among the conventional methods, this method of concentrating the mind and Bone Method is the fastest way to take effect among conventional methods. However, this extremely efficient method of concentrating the mind and mind will bring unbearable pain to practitioners. This kind of pain is difficult for even practitioners with a strong mind. Therefore, although the effect of this exercise method is very significant, few people have tried it now. The elixirs refined in Du Xiaochuan's third elixir recipe requires the use of this "Spirit of Mind and Bone Method".

"Thank you for your reminder, but I still hope to give it a try." Seeing the old man's kind reminder, Du Xiaochuan said to the old man.

Seeing the man in black robe in front of him insisting, the old man was not persuading anything: "Since that's the case, I won't say anything more. The high-level training ground is opened once, with 120 spirit stones."

After delivering the spirit stone, Du Xiaochuan took a black jade token from the old man. This token is the exclusive token that opens the "Spiritual Concentration Bone Room".

"Fellow Taoist, since you are going to enter the 'Spiritual Bone Room' for cultivation, I don't know if the 'Spiritual Bone Meal' has been prepared!" Just as Du Xiaochuan was about to turn around and leave, the old man asked Du Xiaochuan.

"This is not!" Turning around, a hoarse voice came from the black robe.

"So, take this pack of bone meal, and you can just use it! If you really can't bear that kind of pain, don't endure it. Although the effect of this bone meal is not too great, it can finally reduce the pain caused by cultivation in the "Spiritual Concentration Bone Room". As he said that, the old man opened a drawer behind him and put a pack of powder into Du Xiaochuan's hands.

"Thank you!" Du Xiaochuan thanked the old man and said to the old man.

Du Xiaochuan has also heard of "cure bone meal". This "cure bone meal" is a medicine specially prepared for practitioners who enter the "Spiritual Bone Room". This medicine can reduce the pain that practitioners suffer when performing the "Spiritual Bone Method" exercise to a certain extent. Although it is not precious, it is very practical.

Seeing the figure of the man in black robe disappearing on the mountain road, the old man couldn't help but sigh: "It's really an ignorant person! As long as you try the "Spiritual Concentration and Bone Method" to your body, the pain of life and death is worse than death, I'm afraid anyone will never forget it in your life. I don't know how long this man in black robe can stay in it. One hour, or two hours. I remember that I was..."

In order to condense the minds of martial arts, the old man had entered this "Spiritual Concentration Bone Room", but he only stayed in it for an hour and had to come out. The pain caused to the body by the "Spiritual Concentration Bone Method" is not something that human endurance can bear. Although many years have passed since entering the "Spiritual Concentration Bone Room", every time I think of that experience, the old man still feels cold sweat all over his body.

"Hey!" Shaking his head and shook his bad memories out of his mind. The old man returned to the hut and closed his eyes.

Along the ancient path of the mountain, Du Xiaochuan walked towards the top of the mountain. This mountain is a place of practice opened for practitioners in the spiritual realm. Among them, there are 360 ​​training rooms in this mountain. These training rooms are distributed throughout the mountain. While rushing to the top of the mountain, Du Xiaochuan saw no less than twenty training grounds distributed in this mountain from afar. The high-level training ground that Du Xiaochuan was going to is at the height of the mountain. It is still a distance to reach it.

After more than ten minutes of mountain road, Du Xiaochuan stood on the mountain road and looked at a huge stone marked 301. This stone was five or six meters high, which looked very obvious on the mountain road.

"Well, that's it." Du Xiaochuan took out the jade token in his hand and looked at it.

On the jade token in Du Xiaochuan's hand, there was a symbol with the word 301 in the number. The number marked on the jade token was the number of the training room of the "Shen Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing Fang before coming. Before coming, Du Xiaochuan had learned from the old man that the place marked with a huge rock was the destination of his trip, the destination of this trip.

Following the path extending from the ancient mountain road, Du Xiaochuan walked towards the Jubiliu rock marking the numbers. As Du Xiaochuan continued to approach the huge rock, the jade token held in Du Xiaochuan's hand emitted a burst of light. As he got closer and closer to the huge rock, the light on the jade token became stronger and stronger. In the end, when Du Xiaochuan was already standing in front of the huge rock, the light from the jade token in his hand was already a little dazzling.

Looking at the jade token that emits dazzling light, Du Xiaochuan looked at the huge rock in front of him again: "According to the old man, now you just need to lock the jade token on the array eye on the huge rock!"

Then, Du Xiaochuan buckled the jade token in his hand in a groove on the huge rock. Just as he buckled the jade token into the groove, the entire mountain wall in front of Du Xiaochuan shaking. As the mountain wall swayed, a straight crack slowly cracked on the mountain wall. A cave appeared in the mountain wall in front of Du Xiaochuan.

This cave is the No. 301 training room in the training ground, which is the location of Du Xiaochuan’s destination, the “Spiritual Bone Room”.

As the mountain wall opened, a vast stream of water vapor ejected from the open cave. Before the water vapor approached, Du Xiaochuan quickly dodged and avoided the water vapor. Fortunately, Du Xiaochuan was moving fast enough that the water vapor ejected from the cave did not spray on Du Xiaochuan's body. The water vapor in the cave seemed to be extremely abundant, and it had been nearly ten minutes since the cave was opened. However, the water vapor accumulated in the cave had not been cleared yet.

"I heard from the old man that this 'Spiritual Bone Room' has been opened for several years, and I'm afraid it's really like this. Otherwise, it would be impossible for this cave to accumulate so much water vapor. But this...Spiritual Bone Liquid is too terrifying!" As the water vapor in the cave gradually dissipated, Du Xiaochuan looked at the front of the cave and finally took a breath of cold air.

In front of the entrance of the cave, where the water vapor passes, the originally green grass on the ground is completely yellow. Even the ground where the water vapor passes through has a feeling of being corroded. Not only that, the water vapor spurted out of the cave just now also passed through a small forest not far from the mountain wall. Being invaded by the water vapor spurted out from the cave, the trunks of the trees in the woods turned yellow one after another, and the leaves suddenly died and turned yellow, falling from the trees, as if a small area where the water vapor passed by instantly entered late autumn. From this phenomenon, it is enough for people to know that the water vapor is highly corrosive.

"This soul-concentrating bone liquid is really corrosive! I really don't know whether it is right or wrong when I chose this place!" As the water vapor at the entrance of the cave gradually dissipated, Du Xiaochuan entered the cave.

After entering the cave, Du Xiaochuan carefully looked at the training room that made countless practitioners stay away from it. This "Spiritual Concentration Bone Room" specially used to condense the martial arts ideas of practitioners in Kongming Realm looks very ordinary from the whole. It is just a natural cave without any decoration, with almost no trace of artificial traces. However, the only special thing is that there is a spring in this cave that is constantly emitting spring water. In this spring, streams of spring water continue to emerge from it. When the cave opened, the source of the water vapor was clearer. It is precisely because of such a spring that the "Spiritual Concentration Bone Room" that has not been opened in several years has accumulated so much water vapor. The terrible corrosive water vapor comes from this spring.

As soon as he entered the cave, the water vapor that had not yet dissipated in the cave made Du Xiaochuan's skin feel a burst of pain. The corrosive liquid had begun to erode Du Xiaochuan's skin. However, he ignored this and walked straight towards the spring.

Standing next to this spring, Du Xiaochuan reached into the spring. As soon as he touched the spring water, a erosion sound of teeth that made people feel sour came from Du Xiaochuan's hands.
