In a barren mountain, inside a temporarily opened cave.
After Aaron finished meditating on the exercises, he suddenly had an impulse, so he sat cross-legged and performed the 'Mingyu Jue'.
In his body, the mana essence of the foundation-building stage was like clear spring water, gurgling and moving, and the bones all over his body emitted crystal light.
Then, the eleventh level of skills successfully broke through and entered the twelfth level, which represents the middle stage of foundation building!
"This bottleneck...can be broken through so easily?"
"I originally planned to spend dozens or hundreds of years with it slowly..." 2
Aaron glanced at the properties panel:
[Realm: Middle stage of foundation building]
[Kung Fu: Mingyu Jue 12th level (1/2000)]
[Skill: Level 2 Jade Bone (300/1000)] 1
…
"The technique has broken through, and the jade bones have also broken through."
Aaron looked at his palm, and when he exerted a little force, he heard the crackling sound of his joints.
"The strength of this second-level jade bone is already comparable to that of ordinary middle- and low-level magic weapons... In other words, after the body has been refined to this point, even if I stand there without any defense, the Qi Refining Monk can control the magic weapon to attack.
, those magic weapons are also likely to be stuck in the bones? They cannot cause fatal injuries?"
"But I was stupid enough to try the physical magic weapon..."
"Besides... Although my magical powers specialize in bone refining, my bones are strong, and my physical strength is also improving rapidly... I have reached the point where I can crush Huajin martial artists with bare hands, without any martial arts, just with brute force...
There is really no future in practicing martial arts..." 6
In fact, if he had devoted himself to studying martial arts for hundreds of years, he might have been able to figure out the basics of martial arts. 4
However, the input and output were not directly proportional, so Aaron stopped spending time on this path, and the progress naturally stagnated.
Even if you have free time during daily practice, wouldn’t it be nice to discuss the Tao with those Kun cultivators who are proficient in the art of Spring Cry? 4
Why practice martial arts?
"Well... this time, the mana has increased by 30% compared to the previous breakthrough!" 2
Aaron checked it over and couldn't help but feel quite satisfied.
He also realized at this time that he had been stuck at the bottleneck for some years.
Moreover, after another bloody battle, the key is to kill the enemy and gain a clear idea...
Or perhaps taking a walk outside of your hard training will be beneficial to your state of mind...
It may also be that you have obtained the subsequent skills and gained a little bit from the enlightenment...
All in all, it may be the result of various factors that allowed him to naturally break through the bottleneck and enter the middle stage of foundation building!
With only a few golden elixirs fighting in both Lin and Wu, the middle and high-level players in the mid-stage of foundation building can no longer be ignored.
As for the later stage of foundation building? 1
They are even rarer, and they have begun to plan for elixir formation, so they are not easily entangled in the trivial matters of sects and forces.
At this time, if Aaron cooperates with the Black Sun Demonic Fire, even a late-stage foundation-building monk will be sure to fight! 11
"I finally have a sense of security... Of course, there are still those Pill Formation Ancestors who are weighing me down..."
"Now that I have the skills, I should start thinking about forming pills..." 3
Form a pill!
An ancestor of the elixir formation is enough to occupy a country, open up the golden elixir sect, and pass it on for thousands of years!
This is the dream of all low-level monks!
Aaron never thought that he would be unable to complete the foundation building period, so he had to start preparing in advance.
"Actually... the qualifications of the so-called Three Spirit Root cultivators are not bad, they just have the opportunity to build foundations..."
Grain sprite
"After establishing the foundation, the qualifications of the three spiritual roots are somewhat low..." 2
"Cultivation...how can it be possible without encountering bottlenecks?"
"According to my estimation, it would take a monk with three spiritual roots to devote himself to the Great Way and practice on the spiritual veins of the Three Mountain Peaks. There are no bottlenecks. It would take about 150 years to complete the foundation building period and have a chance to form an elixir... …”
"However, this is only a theoretically perfect model. Without the help of better spiritual veins and spiritual elixirs, most monks with three spiritual roots will basically spend their entire lives wandering in the foundation building stage, unable to cultivate to a perfect state, and have no hope of forming elixirs throughout their lives! "
"My situation is a little better. I will definitely be able to cultivate to perfection, which is the pass of forming pills..."
According to what Aaron has learned over the years and from reading the classics.
In terms of forming elixirs, the mortality rate of monks has decreased. Failure to form elixirs does not necessarily mean that they will die.
Of course, it is inevitable that one's vitality will be severely damaged, one's skill level will decline...and even one's lifespan will be shortened. 1
For a truly unlucky person, the technique may directly backfire and cause him to die.
After a failure, even monks with dual spiritual roots often find it difficult to practice again and continue to attack!
Even monks with wind spirit roots, thunder spirit roots and other strange spiritual roots will still be stuck by the pill formation bottleneck and will be worse than dead.
The only exception is the Tianlinggen monk.
"Having experience in foundation building... I can start preparations after I build the foundation in the late stage... There is no need to compete for those elixirs that can increase the chance of forming a pill!"
It is conceivable that even if the elixir can only increase the chance of forming a pill by 15%, those foundation-building monks will break their heads for it!
No... the Lianhe Dan monks will take action shamelessly to accumulate foundation for the sect and family! 1
In this most fiercely competitive Blood Mud Swamp, Aaron is grateful.
"What I need to find is not an elixir that increases the probability of breakthrough, but a life-saving elixir... as long as it can guarantee that you won't die if the elixir fails!"
"Even if the skills fall back to the Qi refining stage... ordinary foundation-building monks will die of old age, but I won't!"
"According to the plan when building the foundation, find enough life-saving and healing spiritual objects... and then keep trying. Once can't be used twice, twice can't be used three times, three times can't be used four times... Isn't it just forming a pill? Just be familiar with it... …It will always work out.” 6
"But what happened this time will be a bit troublesome in the future."
Aaron had made up his mind when he suddenly felt a sound outside the retreat.
He raised his hand and cast a spell to create a passage through the restriction, and a Wanshou turtle the size of a washbasin slowly crawled in. It was naturally Xiao Qing.
It opened its big eyes and made several babbling tortoise sounds.
Of course, as the master, Aaron can contact through the blood contract and roughly know what it means.
"Is that woman awake?"
"Let's go and meet!" 1
Aaron rolled up his sleeves and stood up, taking Xiaoqing to another part of the cave.
"Uncle Yu!"
Shen Qingchen was sitting on the stone bed adjusting his breath. When he saw Aaron coming, he immediately stood up and bowed with his hands folded: "Thank you, Uncle Yu, for saving me. What happened next?"
"To be honest...actually I have been hiding my strength." Aaron replied with a heavy expression.1
"Huh? Uncle Yu, you are actually a mid-term monk?"
Shen Qingchen said in surprise as he felt Aaron's unabashed magic power, which was much stronger than his own.
"Exactly."
After more than thirty years of secretly breaking through to the mid-term, it wasn't very fast. Aaron didn't mind exposing something.
He has become very skilled at using one truth to cover up a larger truth.
"Actually, your uncle and I have already secretly made a breakthrough. It's just that people are afraid of being famous and afraid of being strong, so they keep hiding their cultivation... This time when we met a demonic monk, you were injured again... I can only reveal my strength and lead you out."
Siege!" 6
Aaron's face was heavy: "As for Fellow Daoist Zhong? Fellow Daoist should have seen it too. Unfortunately, he died at the hands of a demon cultivator!"
"Elder Zhong..." Shen Qingchen couldn't help but remain silent.
