Cultivation starts from crossing three years

After the transaction was completed, Qian Sen invited Zhang Qingyuan to sit in front of his cave for a while.

The two sat and discussed.

Tianmu Peak, as the largest branch of Yunshui Sect's inner school that produces spiritual plants and elixir, has done a lot of research on planting. Zhang Qingyuan has gained a lot of knowledge on planting elixir from Qian Sen.

And Qian Sen also gained some knowledge about alchemy from Zhang Qingyuan.

After half a day of communication, Zhang Qingyuan bid farewell and left.

Afterwards, he planned to use the jade slips to write down all the knowledge about planting elixir and spiritual plants that he had exchanged with Qian Sen.

Regardless of whether it is useful or not, write it down first.

If you need to use it in the future, you will not forget it.

He returned to the cave with many elixir.

Zhang Qingyuan continued to practice and improve in the cave.

I don't have the slightest plan to go out and explore.

It's just that the sect is peaceful, and no one from the outside world is looking for him. The world of cultivation is generally peaceful.

Let Zhang Qingyuan have a tendency to grow old forever.

Back to the cave.

First, it took a while to adjust his state of mind. After practicing meditation for a few days and adjusting his mind to the peak, Zhang Qingyuan continued to practice while refining alchemy.

This time it is still a middle-grade pill.

It's just that Zhang Qingyuan's alchemy is about to be upgraded to a high-level at this time, and ordinary intermediate-level alchemy formulas don't help him a lot, so he decided to refine some intermediate-level alchemy formulas that are more difficult to refine and relatively advanced.

Only by challenging more difficult alchemy recipes can he improve his proficiency in alchemy.

It's just that the difficulty also rises linearly.

It took Zhang Qingyuan more than half a month to get started and refine the first furnace.

However, the difficulty is directly proportional to the harvest itself.

The successful refining for the first time directly increased Zhang Qingyuan's alchemy proficiency by two points. This was because many mistakes occurred during the refining process, and these mistakes made his understanding of alchemy even better.

There is no time for cultivation, and more than two months have passed in a short time.

Zhang Qingyuan once again thoroughly comprehended this intermediate alchemy recipe, and refining this alchemy recipe could no longer improve the proficiency of alchemy much.

At this time, Zhang Qingyuan's proficiency in alchemy had reached 91.

The further back you go, the less you lift.

Without any choice,

Zhang Qingyuan had no choice but to switch to a more difficult intermediate alchemy recipe.

Time passed again while Zhang Qingyuan was practicing and alchemy.

While alchemy is gradually improving,

Zhang Qingyuan's realm of cultivation is also constantly being consolidated. The peak realm of the early stage of Jiuzhong has been firmly consolidated, and he has the qualifications to break through the middle stage of Jiuzhong.

But Zhang Qingyuan was not in a hurry.

As usual, he practiced daily, while making alchemy, and took a fixed amount of time every day to practice various techniques and martial arts around the cave, accumulating bit by bit.

Zhang Qingyuan's strength is accumulated and improved bit by bit in this continuous practice.

reached the point where it is today.

More than two months have passed.

Zhang Qingyuan's proficiency in alchemy has reached 99, and he is only a little short of reaching the advanced level!

just,

In the face of this level of proficiency, Zhang Qingyuan spent more than ten days later, no matter how he refined the elixir, he could not overcome this gap.

It made him understand,

He has hit a bottleneck!

Zhang Qingyuan felt a little melancholy.

Fortunately, he is not unprepared.

After spending more than half a year, Zhang Qingyuan originally wanted to improve alchemy to a high level, so how could he give up so easily.

What's more, he had expected this long ago, and he was also prepared for how to break through the bottleneck.

Sitting cross on a futon.

Take a jade bottle from the storage bag.

What was contained in it was the Mingshen Pill that Zhang Qingyuan bought from Tian Renzhou for three middle-grade spirit stones that consumed one-third of the aura!

The level of alchemy, in addition to the experience of refining elixir, there is another important evaluation standard.

That is spiritual consciousness.

Because of time travel, Zhang Qingyuan's spiritual consciousness is stronger than that of ordinary people, so he can quickly rise to the realm of an intermediate alchemist in a short period of time.

But up to now, it is still a line away from advanced.

Without too much hesitation, he took out the Mingshen Pill from the jade bottle, and Zhang Qingyuan swallowed it into his stomach.

He began to practice sitting cross-legged on the futon.

After a few days.

Zhang Qingyuan on the futon opened his eyes.

In the pupil, there seemed to be a flash of lightning.

If there are ordinary people here, I am afraid that they will feel the sting of the soul at that moment!

"Breakthrough!"

Zhang Qingyuan was delighted.

On the proficiency panel, the proficiency of alchemy has already surpassed the intermediate level and reached the advanced level.

Alchemy: Advanced (0/1000)

The spiritual consciousness of the whole person has directly increased by [-]%!

This is undoubtedly a great benefit for Zhang Qingyuan.

And with the improvement of alchemy, he will also be able to refine Guishui Dan, and use the essence of Guishui to the greatest extent for his own practice!

but,

Before this.

Zhang Qingyuan has one more thing to do.

After breaking through to a high-level alchemist, with his huge spiritual knowledge, he felt a kind of spiritual energy in his body ready to move.

"Cultivation is about to break through!"

Zhang Qingyuan knew it in his heart.

After nearly half a year of unremitting alchemy practice, Zhang Qingyuan's cultivation base at the peak of the early stage of the Nine Layers is now complete, and the bottleneck of the realm that traverses the front is clearly displayed in front of his eyes.

With the improvement of alchemy, the growth of spiritual knowledge, especially after refining the Mingshen Pill and raising alchemy to a high level.

There is not much difficulty in the bottleneck of cultivation in front of him.

"Let's break through the realm first!"

Make up your mind.

Zhang Qingyuan took out a middle-grade spirit stone and entered the closed state again.

A month later.

The mid-grade spirit stone in Zhang Qingyuan's hand on the futon had already been turned into a waste stone.

At the same time, around him, there was a restless spiritual energy, faintly causing the air to vibrate and twist. The strong spiritual energy was extremely powerful, faintly impacting the surrounding aura!

Nine layers of mid-term realm,

Become!

Both breakthroughs, great strength!

Chapter 175 Confidence

It took more than half a year to break through from the early stage to the mid-ninefold stage.

This speed is compared with Zhang Qingyuan's previous one-year level improvement.

It doesn't seem very fast.

But in fact, if you look at ordinary inner sect nine-fold monks, it's really not too slow.

This is not unrelated to Zhang Qingyuan's hard work.

Of course, there is also that rich cultivation resources.

This breakthrough and improvement seems to be only a small stage within a realm.

But in fact,

His strength has almost changed drastically!

"Now I should already have the strength to compete with Jiuzhong Consummation. If I can improve once more, I will be able to deal with Jiuzhong Consummation!"

in the cave.

Feeling the majestic power in his body, Zhang Qingyuan secretly said in his heart.

For a moment, he thought of the No. 1 Gao Wenhao and the No. 2 Wang Zhiliang who competed in the year-end competition among the newly promoted inner sect disciples of Xuanshui Peak more than half a year ago.

Both of them are in the Nine Levels of Consummation.

Comparing the strength they showed at that time, Zhang Qingyuan is confident that he may not be at a disadvantage under mutual verification!

The outcome of the battle is roughly between four and six.

This made Zhang Qingyuan feel great fighting spirit.

Let him wait for a hearty battle.

This is not arrogance.

Rather, it is a measure of self-confidence in comparison to one's own strength.

Compared with half a year ago, Zhang Qingyuan's realm may have only been promoted to a small stage, but the improvement in other aspects is not low at all.

The first is the harvest after refining the dragon blood fruit.

The complete refinement of the blood dragon fruit strengthened the foundation of Zhang Qingyuan's blood energy, and made the spiritual essence cultivated by his famous One Yuan Guishui Sutra even stronger.

A body of spiritual energy is almost like a vast ocean, extremely powerful.

Then, the improvement of aptitude also made Zhang Qingyuan's practice and refinement of spiritual energy much faster, and his ability to transform spiritual energy was enhanced.

Second.

After breaking through to a high-level alchemist, Zhang Qingyuan's spiritual knowledge more than doubled.

The powerful spiritual consciousness makes one's own combat more acute in battle.

Coupled with the jade slips left by the advanced alchemist in the ruins of the cave, Zhang Qingyuan has a very good reference for various techniques of alchemy using spiritual consciousness.

After being digested and understood by Zhang Qingyuan and applied to alchemy, these spiritual knowledge utilization skills,

The same analogy is used in martial arts and martial arts.

The proficient use of spiritual knowledge skills has made Zhang Qingyuan's control over his own spiritual energy to a higher level.

The improvement in this aspect is obviously more effective for Zhang Qingyuan.

In the past life,

Zhang Qingyuan once read a comic, in which there is a sentence about the description of the strong:
