But in fact, after consuming so many cultivation resources, his current bloodline spiritual power has only reached more than seven levels of the total, which is less than eight levels!
This result was simply a blow to Jiang Tian.
"After spending so much elixirs and heavenly materials and earthly treasures, the bloodline spiritual power still cannot reach the eighth level. How is this possible?"
Jiang Tian frowned and felt anxious.
In fact, if he hadn't been far stronger than ordinary people, he might have faced the dangerous situation of going crazy several times in the past six months!
The reason why this happened was naturally not for other reasons, but because his cultivation progress was so slow that it was almost unacceptable to him.
Of course, this so-called "slowness" is not absolutely slow, but rather too slow compared to his previous cultivation speed.
If compared with warriors of the same level, his speed is not slow at all, and he can even beat the former by more than enough.
But what worried him the most was the situation in the past half month.
After consuming the secret quasi-holy elixir presented by Lord Canglan, he found that the growth rate of bloodline spiritual power had further slowed down, and the rate of increase was getting slower and slower!
At first, he even suspected that there was something wrong with the elixir given by the king, or that he might have tampered with the elixir for some special reason, but after careful investigation, he quickly rejected this speculation.
There was no problem with the elixir at all, but the problem still lay with himself. It was his cultivation speed that became slower and slower as he continued to approach the bottleneck.
"The bloodline spiritual power has become so slow before it reaches the eighth level. If it reaches the ninth level or even close to the tenth level, wouldn't it slow down to a turtle's speed?"
Jiang Tian gritted his teeth and cursed secretly, feeling extremely annoyed.
If this situation is caused by external forces, he will naturally try his best to solve it without hesitation, but the problem lies with himself, and it will be useless no matter how anxious he is.
The difficult situation forced him to face reality, calm down and rethink the path to advancement.
After some thinking, he gradually calmed down.
Now, there are probably two paths to advancement before him:
One is to proceed step by step and slowly;
The second is to accumulate enough elixirs or go to a place where the spiritual energy is extremely strong and forcefully break through.
But no matter which one it is, it requires the support of a huge amount of cultivation resources. However, in comparison, the former takes an unknown amount of time, while the latter can shorten the process to the greatest extent.
On the surface, it seems that only the latter is the wise choice.
But the problem is that it is not that easy to accumulate enough elixirs.
With Jiang Tian's current strength, ordinary top-grade elixirs have no effect on him. If he wants to break through this barrier, he must at least get a holy-grade elixir.
In addition, there are enough heaven and earth spiritual fruits or quasi-holy grade heaven and earth spiritual herbs and elixirs.
The former can be obtained as long as you have enough spiritual stones, but the latter is not that easy to obtain. Even if there are many businesses in the trading houses, they are often rare and the quantity will never be too large.
With his current resource consumption situation, he doesn't know how much it will cost, but just thinking about it makes him realize that it is unrealistic.
When he thought of this, Jiang Tian felt helpless in his heart.
"Can we just go step by step?"
Jiang Tian sighed in his heart, his mood was extremely complicated.
If that's the case, where can he advance?
Two years?
Three years?
Or five years?
Although this speed is normal for warriors of this level, it is absolutely unacceptable to Jiang Tian!
When you are unable to raise enough resources for cultivation, you can only resort to the next best thing and find a place with excellent quality spiritual veins for cultivation.
But this may not be able to perfectly solve his problem. The spiritual support of the spiritual veins alone is at best comparable to taking a quasi-sacred elixir, and the effect is still far from ideal.
The more troublesome problem is that Jiang Tian has experienced retreat and baptism of spiritual veins more than once along the way. In this case, ordinary spiritual veins have no effect on him at all.
Unless there is an existence like the royal family's spiritual vein, or a higher spiritual vein than it, it is possible for his cultivation to be significantly improved in a short period of time.
Thinking of this, Jiang Tian couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, feeling bitter in his heart.
"There are only a few such spiritual veins in the entire Canglan Kingdom. Where can we find them now?"
Jiang Tian shook his head and sighed, his expression extremely complicated.
He has already seen the royal family's spiritual veins and practiced it in seclusion. Now the effect will be greatly reduced. Even if the Lord of Canglan is willing, he will not ask for it.
And the number of spiritual veins of the same level in the entire Canglan Kingdom is probably not more than five fingers.
The remaining few are naturally in the three major sects.
The entire Canglan Kingdom's martial arts world knows that the best spiritual veins in Canglan Kingdom, apart from the royal family's spiritual veins, are the spiritual veins occupied by the three major sects.
Needless to say about the Cangyun Sect, Jiang Tian has already practiced in Hanling Cave, and it is useless to go there now.
The remaining two spiritual veins are in Tianluo Sect and Jinyuan Sect respectively.
And with the current relationship and atmosphere among the three major sects, trying to use their spiritual veins for cultivation is nothing more than a dream!
Not to mention that the relationship is so tense now, even if it seemed calm in the past, it was almost impossible to enter the other party's spiritual veins to practice.
For any power, spiritual veins are the foundation for its foothold, and it is a forbidden area!
How can a place like this allow outsiders to enter at will, and then have to practice in seclusion there and plunder the precious spiritual power accumulated inside?
This kind of thing is impossible even if you think about it!
The more Jiang Tian thought about it, the more depressed he became, and he immediately gave up this unrealistic idea.
If the relationship between the three major sects was harmonious, it would still be possible. In this situation, there is no need to even think about it.
"That's all, it seems to be God's will. If I hadn't practiced the "Five Elements Strengthening Technique", I wouldn't be facing the current predicament."
Jiang Tian shook his head and sighed, forcing himself to suppress the distracting thoughts in his heart.
In the final analysis, he had brought it all upon himself, and it was his own fault. In that case, what else could he say?
Regarding the current situation, it was useless to complain and regret could not solve any problems. He could only move forward step by step.
Recalling the scene of secret ecstasy when he first obtained the "Five Elements Forging Skill", Jiang Tian wished he could slap himself in the face several times!
"I hope this "Five Elements Strengthening Technique" will not cause any obstacles to my future cultivation path, otherwise it will really be troublesome and the gain will not be worth the loss!"
Jiang Tian resisted the urge to cry and suppressed a trace of anxiety in his heart.
When things have reached this point, there is no point in talking more. He still has to face reality and find a way to break through the bottleneck.
There was only one last year left before the Tianfeng Martial Arts Association. Thinking about the talented warriors from the entire empire that he was about to face, he didn't think that he could defeat them all just with his peak Xuanyue realm training.
