Having gained such a long life, Zhou Xiaochuan certainly would not waste it.

The current situation is still unclear. Although the four awakening stages that the Black Pig Clan already knew about have been solved by one Zhou Xiaochuan himself, there are still three awakening stages and a bunch of foundation-building stages left.

The combat effectiveness of the awakening stage is actually not that different from that of the foundation-building stage.

This can also be seen from the battle between Zhou Xiaochuan and the black pig demon in the awakening stage just now.

Zhou Xiaochuan and the strange tiger minions have both completed their foundation building, and they can fight back and forth with the black pig monster.

You know, this black pig demon is infinitely close to the middle stage of awakening!

Moreover, Hu Chen and Zhou Xiaochuan himself are both people who have perfected their foundation but have extremely insufficient combat experience.

This means that as long as there are enough people in the Foundation Establishment Stage, they can directly kill a person in the Awakening Stage.

In addition, the black pig demon clan may not be good at other things, but their thick skin and strength are definitely among the best.

There is no way to quickly kill the foundation-building black pig demon, and we will face their human wave tactics.

If he were surrounded by a dozen black pig monsters in the early or middle foundation building stages, then even if he was in the awakening stage, he would die in a short time!

Zhou Xiaochuan estimated that this was why, although the Lingjiang tribe clearly had an awakening period, the battle was almost equivalent to a massacre.

According to Zhou Xiaochuan’s original memory, the qualitative change in this state only begins when one’s mind is fully awakened.

Only when one’s mind is fully awakened can one truly begin the path of spiritual practice, which is fundamentally different from other realms.

As for entering the Golden Core Stage, there is even more difference between immortals and mortals.

Even if ten people who have fully awakened their minds come together, they are not as good as one person in the Jindan stage.

However, these words were all known from the memory of Zhou Xiaochuan’s original self, the old village chief who was in his sixties.

To be honest, this old village chief was also learned from those cultivators in the Lingjiang tribe.

The information known to those monks was only heard from the outside world.

The authenticity and accuracy cannot be guaranteed.

Zhou Xiaochuan thought slowly and finally closed his eyes.

His top priority now is to refine the lifespan obtained from killing monsters to improve his own cultivation, and then rush out of this small place and inform the outside world of everything that happened here.

Killing Jiang Shen himself was not within Zhou Xiaochuan’s consideration, after all, Jiang Shen was unfathomable.

There is at least some rough information about the Black Pig Clan, but as for the River God, we really know almost nothing. We only know that the River God is a big loach.

As for the rest, I have absolutely no idea.

Then the matter of eliminating Jiang Shen requires long-term planning.

The three strange creatures were not taken back by Zhou Xiaochuan, but guarded Zhou Xiaochuan’s side.

With one guard in the middle stage of awakening, one in the early stage of awakening, and one strange guard who has completed the foundation building and is close to the awakening stage, it can be said that he can almost sleep soundly.

As long as that terrifying Jiang Shen doesn’t come out, he won’t be in a dangerous situation.

【Name: Zhou Xiaochuan

Life span: 63/74
Realm: Foundation Building Perfection Skill: Demon Suppression Palm Technique (Minor Success)

Spiritual Ape Body Skills (Minor Success)
15 drops of demon blood remaining. 】

Zhou Xiaochuan touched his nose and thought about adding some points.

Although I felt that it was a lot when I killed the black pig demon and obtained 15 drops of demon blood, but when I really needed to use it, I felt that this amount of demon blood was really too little.

A drop of demon blood can be transformed into ten years of life.

Directly and crudely increasing his lifespan would definitely be of no use to Zhou Xiaochuan at this moment.

If he couldn’t quickly seize the information gap and escape from this place, he would have almost no chance of survival facing Jiang Shen’s pursuit.

Not only is his realm not high enough, but his means of fighting the enemy are also too simple.

He can almost only rely on his physical body to fight head-on. His slightly accomplished Demon-Suppressing Palm Technique and Spirit Ape Body Technique are really not enough in the battle against those in the awakening period.

but……

At present, the most important thing is to improve your cultivation.

No matter how invincible you are in the Foundation Establishment Stage, it is still just the Foundation Establishment Stage!

During the awakening stage, every time a new orifice is opened, it brings about a huge improvement in the strength of the physical body.

After you reach the enlightenment stage, you can think about other things.

So, Zhou Xiaochuan closed his eyes slightly, refined three drops of demon blood, and began to simulate.

[In the first year, you have completed your foundation building, and your body is as strong as iron, but you still feel that it is not enough. Even though your blood, flesh, skin, and bones have been refined, you still feel that it is not enough. So, you decide to continue working on your body and want to find a new path.]

[In the eleventh year, with your continuous efforts, you finally feel the two acupoints under your body responding, but the response is very weak… You don’t know if you can successfully enter the awakening stage in your lifetime.]

Seeing this prompt, Zhou Xiaochuan immediately stopped the simulation, and then swallowed a drop of demon’s blood into his stomach.

[In the thirteenth year, with the help of the blood essence of the black pig demon, you successfully opened your front and back yin, but you felt that you had not changed much except that you were more refreshed and your mind was more agile. Did you succeed in opening your orifice? You don’t know that without the guidance of the orifice opening method, you almost relied on the energy in the blood essence of the demon to break through your orifice. Is this really right?]

[In the fifteenth year, when you were eating, you discovered that you could receive the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through your acupoints and use it for your own benefit. Since then, you have finally officially entered the opening stage. You have successfully opened two acupoints. But you feel that your strength is not much stronger than when you completed the foundation building, but only a little stronger, and you are not satisfied.]

[In the twentieth year, you have completely mastered the method of collecting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It turns out that the biggest difference between the awakening stage and the foundation-building stage is that it can store the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through the acupoints of the human body and absorb the spiritual energy for its own use! ]

【Obtained the technique, (opening the orifices) and the method of absorbing qi. 】

[You are so excited about this discovery that you plan to continue exploring.]

[In the twenty-second year, you discovered that in addition to daily meditation, daily meals can also increase the spiritual energy in your body. However, the amount of increase is too small. If you rely on daily meditation and diet, you will need a full twenty years to fill these two acupoints.]

[(Opening the orifices) The method of taking in the qi has been accomplished to a small extent. 】

Zhou Xiaochuan looked at the written record and was overjoyed. Eating food can increase the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the body, so what about eating the essence and blood of demons?
He immediately swallowed a drop of the demon’s blood into his stomach.

[In the 30th year, with the help of the demon’s blood essence, you finally filled up these two acupoints. You feel that every move you make is much lighter than before. Although your physical strength has not increased, your attributes in all aspects have increased significantly.]

[You realize that this is the real enlightenment period.] (End of this chapter)
