It is recommended to change the crushed spiritual stone into spiritual sand and calculate it by weight. For example, ten kilograms of spiritual sand is equivalent to one low-grade spiritual stone. The total spiritual energy of ten kilograms of spiritual sand is more than one spiritual stone, but it is troublesome to absorb. It is used as spiritual medicine fertilizer and low-level monks. This is more reasonable. After all, there is always a lot of leftover spiritual sand in mining and making spiritual stones, which come in different sizes. It is better to calculate it by weight.
Who came up with this kind of cannibalism? The Xuanjian Immortal Clan? I always feel that this setting is too sb, a bit disgusting
Personally, I feel that there are several unreasonable points in the plot setting, which are only true for the story but not for the author: 1. The first few chapters describe the family's situation. It can be said that they are impoverished. Only the protagonist's grandfather is a first-level low-grade weapon refiner. No one else can practice immortal arts. It stands to reason that his family will not have the inheritance of Lingzhifu's four spells. A normal person would doubt that the protagonist suddenly learned four spells and became Lingzhifu. The latest few pictures also mention that the girl from the Shui family comes from a high-class qigong practitioner family in the late stage of qigong training. Logically speaking, such a family The clan is the same as the Lin family, and there will definitely be a spiritual husband in the clan. With the guidance of the spiritual husband, the little girl is only a quasi spiritual husband. Compared with the three or two big cats and kittens in the protagonist's family, there is no one to teach. Old man Ye still has no doubts when he sees this. Now the protagonist has become an array master again. The people of the Ye family are just happy and have no other ideas at all, not even curious ones. Is this still reasonable? I have also written before that learning the various arts of cultivation requires practice and resources. The family has worked hard for a year and only saved a dozen pieces of broken spirit stones. Now the protagonist's various arts of cultivating immortality are coming out one at a time. From an outsider's perspective, the protagonist suddenly knows it and does not even need to practice. Is there something wrong with the protagonist? 2. The protagonist is a reincarnated person. He also said at the beginning that he wanted to hide the secret of reincarnation. As a reincarnated person, his development should be in line with the situation of this life. Without exposing the secret and arousing suspicion, he should try his best to develop, but whether it is within the family or This time, he appeared to be more high-profile. In the family, he suddenly became a spiritual planter without any teacher, and suddenly formed a formation as an array mage. He suddenly went to teach the little girl he just met outside. As a reincarnated golden elixir, an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years, he has no sense of vigilance. 3. There is also the relationship between the protagonist and Old Man Ye. The ancestor of Old Man Ye is Sun. Old Man Ye is strong and the protagonist is weak, and Old Man Ye is young (Old Ye does not know the reincarnation of the protagonist). Normally, whether it is from seniority, strength or experience, Old Man Ye should educate the protagonist and take the dominant position. The protagonist should listen to Old Man Ye, but on the contrary, it is the protagonist who makes the decision. Ye Laohan listens to the protagonist, as if Ye Laohan is a newbie and the protagonist is a weathered person. He feels less like a grandfather and grandson and more like a master and servant.
Is there something wrong with Shui Hanqing's writing of this technique?
In the Foundation Establishment Stage, a Heavenly Whale has been killed to build the Foundation, and now we have to kill another Heavenly Whale in the Golden Core Stage. If we continue like this, we will have to kill a corresponding Heavenly Whale in every major realm or every other realm in the future, in order to be promoted perfectly. Otherwise, how can the soul of the Golden Core Heavenly Whale be promoted to the Yuanshen? It is a bit excessive and embarrassing, and This is also an obvious swallow, and it is swallowing a sky whale that is obviously not hostile, but it is not swallowing the same kind. This also makes the protagonist claim that he does not like swallowing. It is said that killing a sky whale in the foundation stage to build a perfect foundation is enough, but there is another reason to kill in the golden elixir stage. Based on this reason, you will definitely have to kill a few higher-level sky whales in the future promotion.
What I hate the most is suspense in fairy tales. Everything for the protagonist is arranged, and it's all about chance. Half of the fun is suddenly gone. Originally, the title of the book was clearly about the protagonist becoming an immortal by himself, but it changed twice and it became a family story. The family suddenly became awesome, and all kinds of hidden geniuses appeared. Cultivation is about abortion. I haven't seen him in many years. Dreaming about divine machines was more popular at that time, but now I think it's too uncomfortable. In addition, the protagonist is a foundation-building cultivator in this life and knows cannibalism. So wouldn't it be stupid to say that the protagonist's golden elixir in his previous life accidentally discovered that there was a Nascent Soul behind the scenes? And it's very templated. Anyway, there are enemies in the Canghai Mingyue Gong in the foundation building, there are also golden elixirs, and there must be Nascent Soul. Maybe there will be hidden people in other places who want to eat the protagonist in the future. They are all practicing the Canghai Mingyue Gong. Just look at Goldfinger.
I really don't understand why the author clings to his family's exile. The upper limit of family exile is very low because it is inferior to the sect in all aspects. The plot design, plot development, and characterization are all greatly limited. Even "Everlasting Immortality", which reintroduced the Fire Family genre, only achieved excellent results. The upper limit of this genre is visible to the naked eye. There is currently only one "Xuanjian Immortal Clan" in the family stream Wanding, but the strength of the Xuanjian Immortal Clan is not in the family stream itself, but in the author's own descriptive ability and the portrayal of group portraits that have been passed down from generation to generation. In fact, Xuanjian's exhaustion showed after no one died like in the early period. Family flow is just a wishful yearning for the clan by a small number of young only children who have not been severely beaten by the clan. They cling to this crooked-necked tree. The upper limit is too low.
The tone was too high, and the lofty concept of "swallowing the Tao" came up during the Qi training period to persuade a group of people to quit.
Do you have to do so many calculations and layouts just for practicing qi? The author is already immersed in the last book. Wake up and start a new book.
It's a good novel, but you always keep the proud girls by your side, and all the beauties with spiritual roots and Taoism that are rare to see outside come to you. Euphemistically called a maid, you said it would be better if you were the ancestor of Yuanying, the god-incarnation venerable, a master of void refining. A little shrimp who practices qi and neglects his duties every day makes a bunch of maids and geniuses.
Don't bother me. If everyone around you can break through the golden elixir, that would be disgusting.
