In the following week, Liang Yan refined all three spirit-gathering pills, and the speed of absorbing spiritual energy was slightly increased. Coupled with the sufficient spiritual power of the spiritual spring and the nourishment of purple energy, the cultivation speed was far from what it was before.
Since knowing that Zhuo Bufan invited him to the cave, Wang Yuan's attitude towards Liang Yan has obviously become much kinder, and even the sect resources that he had withheld from him were actually returned to him. Of course, Li Dali and Sun Qianli naturally
Not as lucky as him, there is still no hope for the spiritual stones and spiritual gathering pills that he deserves.
This also made Liang Yan sneer in his heart, and he realized how despicable Wang Yuan was. However, Li Dali was optimistic and easy-going by nature, and because Sun Qianli had the secret of Lingquan Cave, he would never have any conflict with Wang Yuan.
Compared with other lines, the formation lineage disciples are quite peaceful due to the sparse personnel and simple relationships. Liang Yan works in the morning every day, studies the formation in the afternoon, and goes to Lingquan cave to practice in the evening.
The purple energy is nourishing and even saves a lot of time for sleeping. I often only get a few hours of sleep every three or four days. In the middle of every month, I regularly help Zhuo Bufan refine elixirs in exchange for three spirit-gathering pills.
The life of cultivation is actually extremely boring. Liang Yan repeats the same things day after day.
In the blink of an eye, three years passed.
That night, in the Lingquan Cave, a young man in gray clothes was sitting cross-legged, with his hands flat and his face serious.
This person is Liang Yan. Compared with three years ago, he is much taller and taller. At this moment, the spiritual power in his body is stirring, wandering around his limbs, and his aura is gradually rising. He is about to
Reaching a critical value, the spiritual power in his body suddenly became uncontrollable and chaotic, flowing through the internal organs and running rampant. Liang Yan opened his mouth and spit out a stream of blood, and his breath quickly became weak.
"I didn't expect that I still fell short." Liang Yan smiled bitterly.
With the help of the spiritual power and purple energy of the spiritual spring, and the help of the extraordinary spirit-gathering pill, he had reached the peak of the third level of Qi training as early as two years ago. In the past two years, he has used the opportunity of perfect Qi countless times to achieve his goals.
Breaking through the bottleneck of the third level of Qi training. But in return it was indeed countless failures.
In the past two years, in addition to improving his understanding of the battle method, his own cultivation has remained at the peak of the third level of Qi training, with almost no progress!
"Did that temptress really get it right? My natural aptitude is so poor that I will never be able to break through to the third level of Qi training in this life?" Thinking of what Pavilion Master Yixing said, I couldn't help but feel depressed.
However, Liang Yan immediately stabilized his mood, "Humph! The difficulty of practicing cultivation is like sailing against the current and building a ladder to reach the sky. I had known that it would be difficult and dangerous, how could I give up so easily."
"That's right! That barrier-breaking pill I heard about last time!"
In the past two years, Liang Yan has repeatedly failed to break through the third level of Qi training. He also asked some of his classmates for ways to break through the bottleneck. Although most of them were impossible for him to achieve, he did know a method called "Breaking Barriers".
Dan" elixir.
This elixir is said to have a certain effect on monks in the Qi refining stage to break through bottlenecks. Of course, the higher the cultivation level, the smaller the effect. By the time you reach the seventh or eighth level of Qi training, the effect is almost zero.
Liang Yan took a deep breath, stabilized the spiritual power in his body, and thought to himself: It seems that the only way to get a barrier-breaking pill is to try.
To obtain elixirs within the sect, you have to go to the Dan Pavilion to redeem them with contribution points. For contribution points, you need to go to the lobby of the sect's White Tiger Hall to pick up tasks and complete them. Most of the tasks in the White Tiger Hall are released by monks in the sect.
Use your own contribution points as rewards to recruit others. Of course, there are also some tasks issued by the sect itself. Such tasks often have extremely high contribution points and are correspondingly more dangerous.
However, the sect stipulates that only disciples from the inner and outer sects can go to the White Tiger Hall to receive tasks. As a handyman disciple, Liang Yan is not qualified to receive the tasks at all. Of course, he cannot obtain contribution points to exchange for barrier-breaking pills at the Dan Pavilion.
"Isn't this an endless cycle?" Liang Yan was annoyed, but he had no choice but to do anything. Just as he was frowning, suddenly something flashed in his mind,
"That's right! Three years have passed. Calculating the time, it's time for Master Lin Fei to go down the mountain and hold an auction. If it is at the auction, there may be barrier-breaking pills for sale."
The more Liang Yan thought about it, the more likely it became, and he made up his mind to go see Master Lin immediately after completing his task as a handyman disciple tomorrow.
The next afternoon, a young man was standing in front of the courtyard of a secluded attic. He stood with his hands lowered and his face was very respectful.
This person is Liang Yan. When he came here, he was very worried. After all, he hadn't seen him for three years. It was uncertain whether Lin Fei still had an impression of him. Although the old monk had helped Lin Fei back then, Lin Fei also
After fulfilling his promise and introducing himself into the sect for the old monk, things were settled. Whether he would help him this time or not would only depend on God's will.
While he was thinking this, a maid suddenly walked out of the courtyard, nodded slightly to him, and said, "Lin Shangxian invites you, come in with me."
The servants in these elders' caves are all mortals. Most of them have no spiritual roots, cannot cultivate at all, and have limited knowledge. These immortal cultivators are only collectively called superior immortals.
Liang Yan followed the maid into the attic and walked into a room in the west wing. The interior was simply decorated, with a pot of warm tea brewing on a square wooden table. Behind the table sat a Confucian scholar in Tsing Yi, looking at him with a smile.
Liang Yan's heart shivered, and he stepped forward and saluted, "Liang Yan, a disciple of Zhenmai's handyman, has met Master Uncle Lin."
"Haha, no need to be polite! Nephew Liang, how have you been in the clan for the past three years?"
"I asked my uncle to take care of me. Everything is fine."
"That's good," Lin Fei said with a smile: "Speaking of which, if the old man hadn't come to the rescue, there would be no Lin today. I just helped him with a little effort, and I still feel indebted."
Liang Yan felt that he was in a surprisingly good mood today. After a little observation, he understood: "No wonder, it turns out that Uncle Lin has just broken through to the middle stage of foundation building not long ago."
"Nephew Liang Xian came to visit today, but what happened?"
"Yes, the disciple has encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation and has made little progress. I heard that Master Lin is going down the mountain to hold an auction, and I would like to ask Master Lin to take the disciple with him so that he can purchase some elixirs for cultivation."
"I see," Lin Fei nodded and said, "You servant disciples cannot accept the task of White Tiger Hall, so naturally you have no contribution points to exchange for elixirs. And the sect stipulates that disciples in the Qi refining period are not allowed to go down the mountain at will, so you
Come to me."
"Uncle Master Mingjian, this junior is really forced to do so!"
"Haha, it doesn't matter! You are a descendant of the old man, I can still handle this little thing."
Liang Yan was overjoyed and said: "Junior, thank you very much, Master Lin, for helping me!"
Lin Fei waved his hand, suddenly thought of something, and said: "By the way, I heard from Junior Sister Zhou last time that you seemed to have joined the formation?"
Liang Yan didn't know what he meant by this, so he could only nod his head and said: "Yes, my disciple really likes the formation method, so he chose to join the formation lineage."
Lin Fei sighed: "The people in the array are withering. Nowadays, the number of outer disciples is very small, and the handyman disciples are heard to be only two. Counting you, there are only three. At that time, the ancestor's unique skills were not understood by many in later generations."
.”
Lin Fei sighed with emotion, and then asked again: "Since you have entered the formation vein, have you spent time learning the formation method?"
"This disciple is not talented. Because of the six-year agreement he made with the pavilion master, he pushed himself day and night to read and learn formations. Now he is considered to be a rudimentary person."
"Then do you know the Heavenly Eye Formation?"
Liang Yan frowned, but still said: "Disciple knows a thing or two, this Heavenly Eye Formation is a monitoring formation, which can observe people's reality and reality, and break some disguises of seclusion."
Lin Fei nodded with satisfaction and said: "Yes, it seems that you have not wasted your time." Then he said: "Since you know the Sky Eye Formation, can you help arrange a simple formation at the entrance of the auction venue. There have been recent evil cultivators near Cuishan.
, I'm afraid someone will sneak into the auction venue."
"Although this disciple's level is limited, he is still willing to give it a try."
"Haha, okay!" Lin Fei smiled and said: "Don't worry, as long as you arrange it properly and the auction is successfully completed, I won't treat you badly. I'll give you twenty spiritual stones as your reward. How about it?"
Of course Liang Yan would not have any objections. The two talked for a while, and Lin Fei finally said: "Okay, you go back and prepare first. We will leave for Cuishan in three days."
Liang Yan stood up and said goodbye. On the way back to the dormitory, he had secretly made up his mind to use this opportunity to get the barrier-breaking pill, otherwise he might have to wait another three years!
