Chapter 395: Retreat
When you are in the martial arts world, it is inevitable to offend people.
Xu Qingyang is not in a good state now. He does not want to show up too much, and he does not even want to go back to Chaos Star Sea. He did not go to Qianzhu Sect, but stayed in Luoyun Sect.
To be honest, this place is quite good.
Cheng Tiankun and the others were happy that he stayed to deepen the communication. If he did not say to leave, the two would never mention it. They talked about the mysteries and the Tao, and got along more and more happily. However, Xu Qingyang will focus on the cultivation of Dayan Jue for a long time to relieve the pressure of the soul as soon as possible, and he will also make a sprint in cultivation.
Only by advancing to the Nascent Soul can he truly solve the shortcomings in future cultivation and fighting.
In terms of resources, he has swallowed more and more material energy. Even if the benefits are considerable, the supply will still be tight, and even the dependence in the later period will be too strong.
From getting rid of his dependence on Han Li to now, he needs to get rid of his dependence on external resources.
No one can predict what will happen in the future. If he is trapped somewhere one day, the problems caused by the imperfections of his various systems will burst out. Only by advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, using the Nascent Soul's mana to nourish himself, completing the internal cycle, and facing complex conditions with multiple channels, can he not worry about encountering an accident one day.
Three Sects' Forbidden Land
Xu Qingyang entered again after obtaining consent.
This time, the three sects' Nascent Souls gave him great convenience. The favors owed to him before were not all written off, but at least it was no longer a matter of who owed whom, but deep cooperation with each other.
The purpose of entering this place was also very simple, to practice under the Spirit Eye Tree.
Han Li had already put the cultivation of the Spirit Eye Tree roots on the agenda, but it would take a long time. Cultivating this thing was much more difficult than giving birth to a herb. In order to speed up the pace and improve his cultivation, he could only borrow this ready-made treasure land and bring Shangguan Xueling with him.
Under the Spirit Eye Tree, Shangguan Xueling's face was red.
He thought that Senior Xu had kept her here to give her some personal guidance and then send her some treasures to assist in forming a pill. The treasures for forming a pill were indeed not left behind, they were all top-level standard for forming a pill in the Chaos Star Sea.
She had already collected all the corresponding resources in Tiannan.
Now with this place of extremely pure spiritual energy, the probability of forming a pill successfully would be at least increased by 10%.
She didn't know how much Senior Xu had paid for her to be able to enter this legendary place. With gratitude in her heart, she only heard Xu Qingyang say lightly: "For the next period of time, you don't have to worry about the desert. Xu Sanhui will take over. You can stay here in seclusion until you succeed in forming a pill."
Shangguan Xueling's eyes were full of confidence: "Senior, rest assured, I will never let you down!"
Xu Qingyang smiled: "Don't be nervous, forming a pill is not the end. After forming a pill, Xu will continue to provide you with enough resources to ensure that you advance to the middle stage of the golden pill in a short time..."
The middle stage of the golden pill is the node estimated by Dayan Shenjun.
Originally, when she was promoted to the later stage, the wood spirit of this woman would be more refined, but too much is as bad as too little, and it was enough to use it to break through the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul. Shangguan Xueling also knew that it would be her time to pay, and she did not hesitate. She received support that ordinary people could not imagine. She was lucky enough.
In comparison, the previous person who shared the same suffering had difficulty even meeting Senior Xu.
During this period, she and Mu Peiling had a lot of contact. When they talked about their respective situations, their backgrounds seemed to be similar. They were all sacrificed by their families when they wanted to make great plans.
Even if there is no distinction between men and women among immortal cultivators, women are still at a disadvantage.
Ignoring this woman, before Xu Qingyang came in, he obtained permission from the three sects and arranged two formations in the Lingshu Grotto, one for Shangguan Xueling and one for him, and then entered a state of retreat. At present, because of Mei Ning's spiritual energy, he has directly improved his cultivation to the peak of the middle stage of the Golden Core during this period of time.
So in the short term, break through the bottleneck of the late stage first.
This bottleneck is not a small one for Xu Qingyang. The spiritual root qualification of reverse growth is only slightly better than four spiritual roots, close to three spiritual roots.
Many people have no shortage of resources, but it is not uncommon to be stuck in the same place due to bottlenecks.
In the world of immortal cultivation, it is often seen that Jindan cultivators whose lifespans are about to end are still in the early stage of Jindan. The hundreds of years after the formation of the elixir are enough for them to accumulate mana, but they cannot break through the bottleneck and are stuck in the same place, and they can no longer accumulate any extra mana.
Xu Qingyang prepared some auxiliary items, but did not pin his hopes on them.
Han Li felt comfortable. In order to allow him to participate in the refining of the wind and thunder wings, Feng Xi gave him a cup of Biling wine, which directly sent him to the late stage of Jindan.
Xu Qingyang also got the formula of this thing from Feng Xi.
However, several of the materials are really hard to find, and there are many side effects of using this thing to break through.
What he can really rely on is the "Five Elements Secret" he created. This skill is a blank skill. There is no magical power loaded, and there is no time to think about it. But in terms of accumulating mana and breaking through bottlenecks, the effect is very strong. Relying on the extreme accumulation of this skill, it is only a matter of time to force a breakthrough in the late stage.
Time flies, and two years have passed in a blink of an eye.
One day, Xu Qingyang finally felt a little loose after grinding the bottleneck for two years. Just as he was about to work harder, he suddenly felt something unusual outside. When his spiritual consciousness probed out, he saw the spiritual energy in the nearby formation rolling back.
"Don't look at it, the little girl has reached a critical step..." Dayan Shenjun said lightly.
He said and immersed himself again. He still had a lot of things to do. Recently, he had been racking his brains to figure out how to refine the corpse Xiao body in Xu Qingyang's hand and his own puppet core. He didn't have much time left. If he didn't hurry up, he might really die.
Infected by Xu Qingyang, he was getting more and more imaginative and didn't want to die.
Thanks to Xu Qingyang for getting him out early, the conditions were very good now. If he didn't want to die, he would never let himself die.
Ignoring him, observing Shangguan Xueling's situation, Xu Qingyang withdrew his attention. I don't know if it was because of the golden pill anomaly that his bottleneck loosened again.
Half a year later, under repeated impacts, the bottleneck loosened completely.
Breaking through the late stage in one breath, the golden pill in the dantian was madly swallowing and exhaling spiritual energy, and the demand was terrifying. Fortunately, there was no shortage of spiritual energy here, and Shangguan Xueling was not affected and continued to perfect the final steps of condensing the pill.
On Xu Qingyang's side, the golden pill grew several times in one breath.
The quality of his mana also jumped to a considerable level, almost reaching the peak of an ordinary golden elixir. After stabilizing, the previous elixirs, such as those made from the sixth-level demon elixir, have all become ineffective. The seventh-level ones still have some effect. Needless to say, his drug resistance has been maxed out.
The elixir made from the seventh-level demon elixir can be of great benefit to Yuanying cultivators in Tiannan.
It doesn't matter now. The spiritual energy of the Spirit Eye Tree is no less than that of the drugs he takes. He went to this place specifically to prevent the elixir from losing its effect.
