Chapter 196 Breakthrough failed!
In the next half month, Zhou Xun consumed all the second-grade high-grade elixirs on hand, turning them all into pills.
Through this, he also mastered the refining methods of three or four second-level high-grade elixirs.
However, he will not release these pills in a short time.
He has made a breakthrough in the art of alchemy, and next he plans to reduce his energy in this area.
He decided to focus on the way of talismans.
The situation at Hongyefang is getting more and more serious, and with it, a large number of second-order monsters have been killed. Zhou Xun has accumulated a lot of materials for second-order talismans.
To date, he has more than a hundred second-order low-grade talismans in his hand, and more than fifty second-order genuine talismans.
He lent all those second-level low-grade talismans to Yun Laodao and sold them in Danhai Pavilion.
Zhou Xun is now showing off his talisman-making skills intentionally or unintentionally.
Of course, only the second-order low-grade ones are exposed.
This bought him a lot of spiritual stones.
Underground Lake Cave House.
Zhou Xun looked inside with his spiritual consciousness. Every time he breathed out, strands of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth were sucked into his body. After running through his meridians, it finally turned into a trace of mana and merged into the liquid mana of his Dantian.
“I am fifty-eight this year and have been practicing for more than forty years. The liquid mana in my Dantian has finally reached ninety-nine drops, reaching the peak of the sixth level of foundation building!”
The rich spiritual energy in the underground cave made Zhou Xun's cultivation much faster.
This is much faster than the time he originally expected to reach the peak of the sixth level of foundation building.
The next breakthrough is the late stage of foundation building.
Without any hesitation, Zhou Xun closed his eyes again, running the Aoki Spirit Art, trying to break through the late stage of foundation building.
I saw the green light all over Zhou Xun's body surged, and the rich spiritual energy around him surged rapidly towards Zhou Xun's body,
As the cyan light continued to puff out, I don’t know how long time passed.
Suddenly!
Zhou Xun's expression changed slightly and he covered his dantian.
It felt as if countless flying needles were stabbing randomly in the Dantian, and the face became bloodless, showing an expression of pain.
Poof!
A muffled groan.
"It still failed!"
Zhou Xun's face was a little pale, and he immediately slapped his hand on his waist and took out a second-grade high-grade healing elixir.
After swallowing it, close your eyes and start refining.
After a long time, a trace of blood finally appeared on his face.
If he hadn't practiced the art of body refining and the meridians in his body were stronger than ordinary people, his injuries would have been much more serious.
It won’t be so easy to recover most of it.
"It is indeed known as the most difficult level in the foundation building period. It is not so easy to break through!"
Zhou Xun sighed, but he was not surprised by this result.
When a monk reaches the limit of a certain realm in cultivation, he will definitely be able to break through and succeed.
Most monks will be stuck in a certain realm and waste countless years.
As for the bottleneck in the later stage of foundation building, more than 80% of all the monks in the middle stage of foundation building will not be able to break through it in their lifetime.
"Fortunately, I have the ultimate high-grade spiritual root. Even if I encounter a bottleneck, it will not be too serious and I can break through relatively easily!"
Generally speaking, before a monk breaks through the realm, When encountering bottlenecks, there are only a few solutions.
One is to swallow pills that can help break through, such as Bining Dan, which can help break through in the later stages of foundation building.
If Zhou Xun could find this elixir, he would most likely be able to achieve a breakthrough if he took it.
The second is to travel or fight, and break through in enlightenment. This is also the method chosen by many monks.
The other is to rely on the power of time, grind it slowly, and every drop of water will penetrate the stone.
One day the bottleneck will be broken.
However, this method is extremely time-consuming, and most monks have already died before they can break through the bottleneck.
"Alas! It's a pity that the cultivation I have revealed now is only the third level of foundation building. Otherwise, there must be a pill to break through to the later stage in the treasure pavilion of Baiyun Immortal City!"
"With what I have to say now, The importance of Immortal City is that there should be no problem in exchanging a Bi Ning Dan!"
"However, this breakthrough is not completely fruitless!" "Although it failed, I can feel that the bottleneck is here! After the first impact, the changes were loosened!”
“With a few more impacts, we will definitely be able to break through!”
Zhou Xun then closed his eyes and continued to adjust his breath.
After about three days, Zhou Xun finally returned to normal.
Then he opened his eyes, stood up and walked out of the retreat room.
Through the underwater passage of Wangchuan Lake, return to the island in the middle of the lake again.
He did not tell anyone the information about the underground spiritual veins.
If the secret of higher-grade spiritual veins beyond the third level is leaked, I am afraid that all the pill-forming masters in the Eastern Wasteland will come here.
By then, this spiritual vein will definitely have no chance with him.
In the Jingxin Pavilion, Zhou Xun sat drinking tea and admiring the scenery.
I have been in retreat for nearly a year, and my whole body is about to freeze.
“Husband, when did you get out of seclusion!”
At this time, a graceful woman in a palace skirt walked up the stone path outside the pavilion.
It was Song Yiqing.
After not seeing him for a year, she really missed him.
“Just came out!”
Zhou Xun looked at his concubine with interest.
"You have finally reached the peak of the sixth level of Qi training!
Seeing Zhou Xun's figure, Song Yiqing was quite happy.
"Why haven't you taken Bi Ling Dan yet? ”
“I want to try to break through on my own! "Song Yiqing said.
Generally speaking, those who break through on their own tend to have a more solid foundation and will have fewer bottlenecks in their cultivation in the future.
"Let's do this. I'll give you another three months. If you still can't break through, just take 'Biling Pill' to break through. After all, you are already forty, time waits for no one!"
Zhou Xun Sighed.
"Husband, I understand!" Song Yiqing nodded.
"How about those three guys?" Zhou Xun asked about his three spiritual beasts.
“The Black-armored Armadillo advanced very quickly, and is now about to reach the second-level mid-level, and the dragon and carp are about to reach the peak of the first-level,”
"But Red Fire Luan should be slower!"
Song Yiqing replied.
“Where is the Thousand-Element Insect?”
When he was exploring the Luo family’s treasure house, Zhou Xun once encountered a group of Gao family monks, and the Thousand-Element Insect was the trophy at that time.
“I have grown up a bit now, but I haven’t woken up yet!”
Zhou Xun nodded.
The Qian Ying Chong has an extremely sensitive ability to sense spiritual power, and is a first-rate helper in breaking magic circles.
"Have you heard from Erniu?"
In the past days, he would correspond with Wang Erniu once every three months.
This is how you can learn about the current situation of the monsters in Baimang Mountain.
"Yes!"
Song Yiqing nodded, took out several unopened letters, and then continued:
"I have already written to inform you about the retreat. !”
Zhou Xun took the letter and began to read it.
Today's Hongyefang has become the front line of the war against monsters.
A large number of human monks gathered here to hunt the monsters that emerged from the Baimang Mountains.
Wang Erniu became increasingly worried in his letter.
"Brother, I have a feeling that when the beast tide really breaks out, I'm afraid it will be when our Hongyefang falls!"
