Under the escort of Su Liuliu, we were able to return to the provincial capital smoothly.
The moment we stepped into the provincial capital, the ghost energy in Su Liuliu's body was released without reservation, and a tyrannical pressure spread in all directions.
Su Liuliu's move was to declare to all the forces in the provincial capital that he had successfully broken through to the late second-star stage. This was a notification and a warning.
Spiritual Adjustment Bureau.
Originally, Chen Yi was discussing the martial arts tournament with many senior executives. However, in the middle of the meeting, a powerful wave of ghost energy swept over directly, and a look of shock appeared on the faces of many senior executives.
"Su Liuliu actually broke through to the late two-star stage?"
After feeling the fluctuation of ghost energy, Chen Yi's face was particularly exciting. He turned his head stiffly, trying to get the answer from the people around him. However, what responded to him was a series of shocked faces. The expressions of everyone made him
Understand, Su Liuliu has indeed broken through to the late two-star stage.
"This kid is amazing." Zhao Kun recovered from the shock, took a deep breath, and said: "To be able to achieve such an achievement at this age, even if you look at the whole Yanxia, there is no one who can surpass him.
A handful of them."
"What a terrifying life!"
Many senior officials praised him, saying that although they were much older than Su Liuliu, cultivators valued strength, and if Su Liuliu was stronger than them, he deserved their respect.
At the same time, several big families in the provincial capital were also excited. The appearance of a late two-star strong man was enough to attract everyone's attention, especially a late two-star strong man who was just in his early twenties.
"We must have a good relationship with him!"
This is the view of most people. After all, this strength is outstanding even in the hot summer. What's more, from another perspective, Su Liuliu's potential is also terrifying. He has achieved such an achievement at the age of twenty-one.
, who knows where he will reach in the future?
Su Liuliu's successful breakthrough, not surprisingly, created a wave of enthusiasm within the Spiritual Adjustment Bureau. Many people were discussing Su Liuliu and the Ghost Slayer Club behind them after dinner, and there was no lack of respect in their words.
In this world, the strong are respected, and this is especially true among cultivators.
I have a deep understanding of this, so when I returned, I spent all day on the training ground in order to break through to the one-star peak before the competition. Only in this way can I be qualified to compete for the top ten.
Due to the reputation of Su Liuliu and the Ghost Slayer Club, we were practicing ghost energy at the training ground during this period, and no one with a blind eye came to cause trouble.
After all, the strength and status of Su Liuliu and the Ghost Slayer Association are no longer what they used to be. Even the children of the Zhao and Zhou families, who we have never dealt with, must carefully weigh the cost before doing things and ignore spiritual adjustments like before.
According to the rules of the game, the direct attack on us at the training ground should not happen again in the short term.
In this unmolested environment, I made rapid progress. Relying on a large amount of pure ghost crystals, I was able to break through to the eighth level of the late one-star stage in three days. It can be said that I am only one step away from the peak of the late one-star stage.
One step.
But it was this last step that I was unable to take, and absorbing ghost crystals had little effect.
The effect of ghost crystals is limited after all. After reaching a bottleneck, it is difficult to achieve any effect if it is reabsorbed, just like after overeating, the excess food will not become part of the body, but will be vomited out.
"Oh, this can't go on like this."
Another piece of pure ghost crystal turned into pieces in my hand. Seeing this, I shook my head, put away the remaining dozen ghost crystals, and said helplessly: "It's not the problem of the ghost crystal, it's that I have already
We have reached a bottleneck, and using ghost crystals again is just a waste, so we should spend two days to stabilize our current state."
Thinking of this, I shrugged and left the training ground alone.
The goose-feather heavy snow slowly drifted down from the gloomy sky, covering the earth with a layer of silver. The weather in the provincial capital at the end of December was very bad, and there was a heavy snowfall every now and then.
After all, we are in the north, and it is now the time when the temperature is at its lowest, with the temperature reaching as low as 30 degrees below zero. Even practitioners like us will feel cold if we don't have ghost energy wrapped around our bodies.
"It's really cold today."
I took a breath of hot air on my hands, rubbed my hands and walked into the yard. As soon as I entered, I saw Ye Yuyou building a snowman, which was almost completed.
"Ye Huohuo, it's you I've piled on, do you think you look like it?" Seeing me coming back, Ye Yuyou immediately waved to me and said excitedly.
"Like like like." I glanced at the snowman in the yard with a green onion stuck in his nose. I rolled my eyes and said perfunctorily, but in my heart I said he looked like a ghost!
"Perfunctory." Ye Yuyou muttered, then pulled me over domineeringly, patted the snowman, and said with a smile: "Come, let's take a photo with the snowman."
"Okay..." I nodded helplessly and took a photo with her next to the snowman, which was a beautiful souvenir.
Unlike me who is so busy and exhausted, Ye Yuyou has become quite Buddhist these days. She stays at home all day. According to her, she has already reached the bottleneck and no matter how hard she practices, it will have no effect, so she might as well just let it take its course.
Of course, maybe she will break through one day.
This girl also tied up a hammock in the yard. She can lie down on it and she won't have to worry about the cold. Potato chips and drinks are arranged. She enjoys the food and plays games at the same time. It's called lying in the yard.
In order to better sense the ghost energy of heaven and earth.
This reason is completely valid, but I am actually speechless. Because there are many plants, the yard is indeed the most ghostly place in the neighborhood.
In fact, I think her Buddhist approach is right. The bottleneck period is a very special stage. Practicing hard at this stage may be counterproductive. Therefore, it is better to relax and wait quietly for the moment when the opportunity comes.
Not only Ye Yuyou, Xu Xue, Jiang Chen, Xie Zhen and others have reached the bottleneck period, they don't plan to waste time on the training ground these days, but are busy with their own things.
Xu Xue and her elders went out to practice, Jiang Chen ran to perform tasks, Xie Zhen returned to his old profession of fortune telling, Sun Wei was also busy with family affairs, and only Sun Qing, Sun Cheng, and a few other Sun family members could accompany him occasionally.
I'm going to practice ghost energy.
Yes, they are all very Buddhist.
"I've been stuck at the eighth level for several days. No matter how much ghost crystal I use, it's of no use, and I can't break through." I sighed and said, "I'm also planning to go to the Buddhist level now."
"You can't rush this kind of thing. Take your time. Maybe you will suddenly make a breakthrough on the eve of the martial arts competition." Ye Yuyou comforted.
"I hope so too..." I smiled bitterly. Today is the 29th, and there are only two days left before the tournament. It is basically impossible for me to break through to the peak of one star before then.
However, I am not weak at level eight. If I am lucky, it is not impossible to reach the top ten.
"You can play outside, I'll go inside first."
After speaking to Ye Yuyou who was still decorating the snowman, he walked towards the house. Before he reached the door, an old voice sounded behind him.
"Ahem, little brother Ye Yan, come out and talk to me."
An old man appeared at the door of the courtyard at some unknown time, his cloudy old eyes exuding a trace of vicissitudes of life and a hint of shrewdness. When I saw the visitor, I was shocked and said, "Mr. Xu?"
This old man is the owner who rented the Yangyan Sword to me, Xu Jian.
"Mr. Xu, why are you here?" A smile suddenly appeared on my face and I walked over quickly, but I was thinking in my heart that Xu Jian was here to collect debts, but I am still a pauper now.
"Just take a look." Xu Jian looked me over, then looked at Ye Yuyou with a slightly surprised look, and said, "Are you Ye Yan's sister, Ye Yuyou?"
"Uh-huh."
Hearing this, Ye Yuyou stopped building the snowman and immediately stood up and said obediently: "Hello, Grandpa Xu."
Ye Yuyou has always been lovable, whether he is male or female, old or young, she seems to have a charm that makes people like her unconsciously.
No, as soon as she finished speaking, Xu Jian, who had always kept a straight face, suddenly laughed and said with a smile: "To have such strength at such a young age is really formidable. It seems that the title of a genius is true."
"Hey, Grandpa Xu is overly praised." Ye Yuyou said modestly.
Looking at Ye Yuyou, Xu Jian nodded with satisfaction, his face full of admiration. Then he looked at me again, his expression suddenly changed, his face pulled down, and he asked in a muffled voice: "You Yang Yan
Do you have your sword?"
I was wondering in my mind why Xu Jian could change his face faster than he could turn the pages of a book, how could he smile when he looked at Ye Yuyou and look disgusted when he looked at me???
Am I that ugly?
After complaining a few words in my mind, I still said respectfully: "I have it with me. I always carry it with me."
"Well, that's pretty much it."
Xu Jian nodded, his stern face softened slightly, and said to me: "Take the sword and follow me to the training tower. You haven't fully understood this Yang Yan Sword yet, so I'll give you some pointers."
