Mortal Cultivation: Immortality begins with the Spirit Gathering Array!

After saying a few words, Chang Yun left, leaving Su Ming and Jiang Caiyun alone.

Jiang Caiyun's eyes fluctuated, and she looked at Su Ming with a strange look.

Compared with the time in Guiyuan Courtyard a few years ago, she found that this ordinary little junior brother seemed to have some changes. Not only did his talisman skills improve, but his temperament also became more calm and confident. Jiang Caiyun joked: "Junior brother Su, I didn't expect you to have such a talent in talismans. It really opened my eyes..."

"In a few years, maybe you can break through to the first-level middle-grade talisman master!"

Su Ming shook his head, looked at Jiang Caiyun's charming face, and said seriously:

"Senior sister, you are joking. Junior brother just refines Fengxing talismans more often on weekdays. How can he be compared with senior sister in terms of talisman skills!"

Seeing Su Ming's "wooden" look, Jiang Caiyun also lost interest in teasing this junior brother.

After the two chatted for a while, Su Ming used the excuse of seclusion to reject Jiang Caiyun's invitation to go to "Wendao Peak" to listen to the lecture of the uncle in the foundation-building period three days later.

Jiang Caiyun has outstanding appearance and good talent. She is a relatively famous female cultivator among the outer disciples of "Bieyuan School". Now she has joined the Fulu Hall. If Su Ming, a little unknown in "Bieyuan School", gets too close to her, it will definitely attract attention and may even cause unnecessary trouble.

Su Ming is not afraid of trouble, but he hates trouble that is not beneficial to cultivation.

After separating from Jiang Caiyun, Su Ming took out the Qingye magic weapon from the storage bag and headed towards Qingcui Peak.

Since he has joined the Fulu Hall, Su Ming will naturally stay in the courtyard cave of the Fulu Hall for future cultivation. The cave on Qingcui Peak still needs to be tidied up.

By the way, Su Ming was going to take the talismans he had refined in his storage bag to the market to sell in exchange for spiritual stones. Even though he had made a fortune from the robbery cultivators, after a year of hard practice, relying only on the sect salary and the daily "quota" of talisman refining in the talisman hall, his storage bag was now almost emptied out.

Touching the storage bag on his waist, Su Ming smiled and turned into a green light and disappeared into the sky.

......

There is no time in cultivating immortals, and three years passed quietly.

Three years later, Su Ming was 23 years old, his figure was much stronger than before, his face and temperament were much more mature, and his cultivation had reached the peak of the sixth level of Qi Refining, only one step away from the late stage of Qi Refining.

At this time, Su Ming was standing in front of the wooden table, with the magic formula in his hand flashing with spiritual light, and his finger pointed at a talisman floating in front of him.

After a moment, Su Ming's face changed slightly. With a single wave of his hand, the "Black Iron Umbrella" on the table flew up and grew larger, blocking in front of him.

Boom!

The violent impact made the Black Iron Umbrella, a mid-grade magic weapon, tremble. When the impact disappeared, Su Ming raised his hand to disperse the burnt brown smell in the air.

"It's really not that easy to break through to the first-level upper-grade talisman master..."

The talisman that Su Ming was trying to refine was called "Black Water Talisman", which was a first-level upper-grade talisman. The spiritual consciousness and mana consumed far exceeded the first-level middle-grade talisman. He failed many times.

After failing again, Su Ming sighed: "On the road of cultivating immortals, cultivation is the foundation of everything. The cultivation of the middle stage of Qi Refining has begun to become a burden to me..."

"I failed to break through the bottleneck of the late stage of Qi Refining three times, and the talisman has been stuck in the first-level middle grade for a while. It's time to come out."

Looking at the empty jade bottle on the table in the cave, Su Ming gave up the plan to break through the late stage of Qi Refining by polishing his mana.

After making some achievements in the Way of Talismans, Su Ming earned a lot of spirit stones by using talismans, and exchanged them for a lot of pills that can accelerate the speed of practicing in the middle stage of Qi Refining.

The jade bottle on the table once contained the "Qingling Pill" that can accelerate the speed of practicing in the middle stage of Qi Refining. In order to prevent the poison from affecting his foundation, Su Ming basically only continued to swallow the pill after the poison in his body was completely discharged.

Relying on the increase of the first-level upper-grade spirit veins by the water-based spirit gathering array, plus swallowing a Qingling Pill every two days to practice, Su Ming actually reached the peak of the sixth level of Qi Refining a year ago, but after encountering a bottleneck, he could not make any progress. He had to continue to polish his magic power to make it more pure, but he still failed to break through the bottleneck of the late stage several times.

During this period, Su Ming did not give up the practice of the Way of Talismans and the Way of Arrays. Unfortunately, the Way of Arrays was limited by his cultivation and he had no place to obtain new arrays, so he could only practice the speed of arraying in the Hetu space.

The Way of Talismans was also limited by his cultivation in the middle stage of Qi Refining, and he failed to break through the first-level upper-grade talisman master many times.

With Su Ming's spiritual root aptitude, he was not surprised to encounter a bottleneck in the late stage of Qi Refining, but the bottleneck in the late stage of Qi Refining still made him feel helpless.

After failing to break through to the first-level upper-grade talisman master again, Su Ming decided that he could not continue to retreat like this, and he must solve the bottleneck problem first.

As long as he breaks through to the late stage of Qi Refining, his mana and consciousness will be deeper, and it will be much easier to refine the first-level upper-grade spiritual talisman at that time.

According to the information Su Ming had read in the Sutra Library in the past, there are roughly three ways for cultivators to break through the bottleneck:

The first is to carefully polish the mana and constantly break through the bottleneck. The probability of success will continue to increase over the years, but the time consumed is too long, which can be as short as a few years or as long as decades.

This is also the common method used by most ordinary cultivators, but after Su Ming reached the bottleneck, he repeatedly polished his mana for a year without seeing any hope of breakthrough, so he gave up this method. He wanted to try to break through the foundation before the best age, forty years, so Su Ming was destined not to waste too much time on the bottleneck of the late stage of Qi Refining.

The second method is to buy breakthrough pills and take them to increase the success rate of breakthrough. However, breakthrough pills have always been in short supply and rarely appear. Once they appear, they will attract many cultivators to fight for them. The price is too expensive for ordinary cultivators to afford.

The third method is to break through through the great crisis between life and death. There is great terror and great opportunity between life and death, which can stimulate the potential of cultivators. The probability of breaking through the bottleneck in this way is very high, but if you are not careful, you will die. Few cultivators will choose this method unless they are desperate.

Su Ming spent a year to determine that the first method could not break through, and he was inclined to the second method.

During this period, he might have to go to the market more often to see if he can buy a breakthrough pill. At the same time, he must also polish his mana. Maybe one day the bottleneck will loosen.

If the breakthrough pill fails, Su Ming may have to consider participating in some dangerous tasks and breaking through the bottleneck through life and death battles.

Although he is afraid of death, it is impossible for his cultivation to be smooth. In order to seize a chance of the avenue, Su Ming is also determined to die!

Thinking of this, Su Ming cleaned up the traces of refining talismans in the cave, took out a talisman and slapped it on his body. The spiritual power fluctuations at the peak of the middle stage of Qi Refining weakened a lot, and the aura became like that of a person who had just broken through the sixth level of Qi Refining.

A first-level middle-grade talisman, Qi-gathering talisman.

In the past three years, in addition to cultivating to the peak of the sixth level of Qi Refining, Su Ming also refined a lot of first-level middle-grade talismans, and this Qi-gathering talisman was one of them.

After using it, as long as Su Ming does not use all his strength, unless it is a foundation-building cultivator in front of him, most Qi Refining cultivators will not be able to discover his true cultivation.

At the same time, Su Ming took out a very extraordinary talisman with a yellow halo from his storage bag and put it into his cuff so that he can use it at any time.

This talisman is called "Earth Escape Talisman"!

The Five Elements Escape Technique can only be used by cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage. This Earth Escape Talisman is a second-level spiritual talisman. It is a life-saving trump card that Su Ming bought at Duobao Pavilion at a cost of one thousand spiritual stones. Once used, it can perform the Earth Escape Technique and take him out five miles quickly.

You know, even the consciousness range of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage does not exceed five miles. With this spiritual talisman, Su Ming has a chance to escape even if he encounters a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

After making preparations, Su Ming sat on the wooden bed and circulated the Small Zhoutian, carefully honing his magic power. After completing today's meditation practice, he left the cave.
