The moon was thin, and Li Mingyang stood on the attic of the city wall of Gongming City. Half of Gongming City was in his eyes. Teams of patrolling monks were patrolling the straight streets. The residential areas and shops were basically closed, but the restaurants and tea shops were closed.
The theater was also very lively, with roars of laughter coming from time to time.
Li Mingyang watched how Gongming City transformed from a small city into the top ten immortal cultivation cities in the Lu Kingdom and the number one city in Tianyun State. His love for Gongming City was as deep as his loyalty to the sect.
However, Li Mingyang's mood has been particularly melancholy recently, especially after Bai Xixi broke through Daogang, she became even more depressed.
Ever since he joined the Tiansheng Sect at the age of thirteen, he has been a well-deserved genius disciple of the Tiansheng Sect for a long time. When he was in the disciple academy, he was far ahead and graduated from the literacy class in a few months.
, after Lin Xiao borrowed the Marrow Cleansing Pill from him on credit, his qualifications were no less than those of a top-grade spiritual root disciple. Two years later, his cultivation reached the fifth level of opening channels. This record was maintained in the Tiansheng Sect for many years.
After that, Lin Xiao also paid great attention to him and kept allocating resources to him. Li Mingyang was also very competitive. After decades of hard training, among the disciples of the Tiansheng Sect, he was the first to break through the pulse condensation.
The first one to break through the Zi Mansion.
And Li Mingyang also had great military exploits. He participated in the two annexation wars of the Tiansheng Sect, intimidated the Chen Kingdom and the Wu family, and fought against the beast tide. He was injured many times. The most serious one lasted for three months.
Of all the major events in the Holy Sect, Li Mingyang did not miss any of them.
Li Mingyang grew up with Tiansheng Sect quite smoothly, and it can be said that it was smooth sailing. However, after Tiansheng Sect became stronger, Li Mingyang's pressure became even greater. The reason is simple: there are more talents.
In the past, Tiansheng Sect had more than 90% ordinary disciples, and there were only a few middle-grade disciples. But now, there are dozens of top-grade disciples, a lot of middle-grade disciples, and those with high-grade spiritual roots.
He is also valued by the sect. After taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill, he is no less than the best spiritual root disciples, and they are equally diligent, so his cultivation speed is getting faster and faster, and the distance between him and his senior brother among the first batch of disciples is getting wider and wider.
close.
Then there is the monster Li Muxue. Although Lin Xiao hid Li Muxue very well, who among the core members of Tiansheng Sect does not know what a monster Li Muxue is?
In two years of college career, he has opened the eighth level of pulse, breaking the record set by Li Mingyang, and then setting new records all the way, the fastest pulse condensation, the fastest Zifu, the fastest Daogang, Li Muxue broke through the Daogang
How old is he in a year? Li Mingyang guessed that it would not be more than sixty-five.
Forget Li Muxue, a monster. She eclipsed all the talented disciples in the sect. Even Lin Xiao, in terms of cultivation speed, was actually a little behind Li Muxue.
But the other Zifu monks were about to catch up with him, which made Li Mingyang worried. He was worried that Lin Xiao no longer liked him and that the sect no longer needed him.
“Thirteen years have passed, and this bottleneck has come at the wrong time.”
Li Mingyang exhaled heavily, feeling extremely troubled and depressed. Thirteen years ago, he was on the tenth floor of the Purple Mansion, and now he is still on the tenth floor of the Purple Mansion. There was no movement at all. Thirteen years ago, he was only one floor away from Bai Zichen.
, but now Bai Zichen is ready to start polishing and settling, he is still on the tenth floor of the Zi Mansion.
Monks will encounter bottlenecks of all sizes. This is a very special state. There are obviously no problems, but they cannot improve their cultivation at all. It is even more difficult to break these bottlenecks. The key is that there are no
Experience is advisable, because everyone's situation is different, and similarly, everyone's method of breaking bottlenecks is also different.
Li Mingyang has tried countless methods in the past thirteen years, but nothing works. The bottleneck is like a rope around his neck, motionless and clinging to him.
"Practice is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to get it."
Li Mingyang said to himself that the internal competition within the Tiansheng Sect has always been fierce. There are now more than thirty purple mansions in the sect, and there are several purple mansions on the ninth and tenth floors. If he does not break through the ranks, the Tiansheng Sect will support another one.
People.
Moreover, Li Mingyang knew Lin Xiao's character well. Lin Xiao now needs Daogang monks, so Daoji Dan will take the initiative to provide them with resources. But when there are more Daogang monks, they will not do this, just like Zi
Just like the Fu monks, it used to be easy to get the Mansion Opening Pill, as long as it was polished and precipitated after reaching the 12th level of Condensation Veins.
But now, the sect still has at least twenty twelfth-level pulse-condensing monks, but they need to queue up. Without enough potential, it is impossible to borrow on credit, so they can only silently accumulate merit points.
"Junior Brother Li"
"Ancestor Bai"
"Why call me ancestor? Call me senior sister. You and I have worked together for decades, so call me ancestor to get more points."
Bai Xixi appeared next to Li Mingyang, shook her head and said, Bai Xixi has been a disciple for decades, she is about the same age as Li Mingyang, and her early disciples fought together, guarded the place together, practiced together, and got along for a long time. They have a very good relationship.
"Yes, Senior Sister Bai, why are you here?"
"I heard from my disciple that Junior Brother Li likes to be alone on the city wall at night in a daze. What is Junior Brother Li worried about?"
"Nowadays, the disciples are becoming more and more unruly. It seems that senior sister needs to straighten herself out."
"Junior Brother Li, I heard this myself. I don't blame others. Moreover, Junior Brother has been depressed in the past few years. Everyone can see that Junior Brother is worried about the bottleneck."
"yes"
Li Mingyang had nothing to hide in front of old acquaintances, and nodded and admitted.
"It seems that junior brother is afraid of being abandoned by the master."
"Yes, the Tiansheng Sect never raises idle people. Now that the Tiansheng Sect has become the largest sect in Tianyun State, if Chunyang Palace persecutes the Tiansheng Sect in the future, the Tiansheng Sect will have to take over. The role of the Zifu monks will become smaller and smaller, so the master
The sect is in urgent need of Daogang monks to enrich the sect, and as a disciple, you have to share the worries of the leader.
And based on my personal interests, I also want to go further on the road. There were about 300 disciples in my group back then, and apart from the eight Zifus, only three survived, and they were also old and dying.
Waiting to die, Li Mingyang doesn’t want to be like that.”
"But junior brother should know that haste makes waste. The more impatient you are, the more the bottleneck will become solidified, which will have the opposite effect."
"Sister, there are thousands of truths in this world, and everyone knows so many, but there are still so many vulgar people. How can Li Mingyang be exempt from vulgarity?"
"So junior brother has stepped into a corner. The master is right, a leaf can't see the big mountain. Our master is a talented man. Nothing can stop him for decades. In the past, if Tianyunzhou wanted to break through a Zifu, he would just follow
It’s like ascending to heaven. How many Zifu monks are there in the whole state?
But now, the leader has taken out the recipe for Kaifu Dan. In a few years, the number of Zifu monks will exceed 100, which is no longer valuable. There are also more and more Daogang monks. With the leader’s ability,
Isn’t it easy to solve the bottleneck on the tenth floor of the Purple Mansion like you?"
"Sister, you are right, but..."
"But what? It's shameless. Why wasn't the leader embarrassed when he took care of us in the past?"
"No, senior sister, hey, I..."
"Junior brother, the master will always be the master, and the disciples will always be disciples, just like children are the same in the eyes of their parents. No matter how old they are, they are still children. If you go to the master, I can guarantee that he will never laugh at you.
I won't reject you.
However, if you persist, you will let the master down. Only when the disciples behind you surpass you will the master really forget about you."
"Okay, okay, senior sister, stop talking, I will go find the leader tomorrow."
Li Mingyang's face turned red after being told by Bai Xixi, but he also felt that her words seemed to make some sense, so he decided to try his luck the next day.
···········
"bottleneck"
The next day, Li Mingyang found Lin Xiao and coquettishly stated the purpose of his visit, which made Lin Xiao a little dazed because he had no experience of bottlenecks at all, and there was a cheating device in the system. He
There won't be any bottlenecks. When you encounter one, you can just use points to improve your cultivation level.
"Is there nothing the leader can do?"
"This is not, come on, tell me about your cultivation, I will help you analyze it."
Li Mingyang was a little disappointed, but Lin Xiao was a little interested and asked Li Mingyang to talk about his cultivation and help him analyze it.
The martial arts and martial arts he practiced were kept secret, but Li Mingyang had no such thoughts on Lin Xiao's side and quickly explained his situation.
Lin Xiao pondered for a moment and found something tricky. Li Mingyang was still practicing the top-level Xuan-level skills. He practiced too fast and didn't accumulate many merit points, so he couldn't afford to change to the Earth-level skills. Of course, this didn't count.
It's a big bad thing. Firstly, the high-grade Xuan-level skills are enough, and secondly, when Lin Xiao gets the heaven-level skills, he can redeem them all at once.
The problem now is that Lin Xiao has not practiced these skills and is very unfamiliar with them. Lin Xiao has divine skills, so he no longer has to worry about them.
So Lin Xiao just explained it to Li Mingyang based on his own experience, and finally gave him a shrunken version of the Enlightenment Pill from the system. This Enlightenment Pill can make people have a clear mind and a clear mind. It was originally developed to break through the realm.
Yes, although the effect of the shrunken version is much worse, it should be enough for Li Mingyang who is only in the Zifu stage.
This Enlightenment Pill was a personal reward from Lin Xiao to Li Mingyang. Lin Xiao had always loved and valued Li Mingyang. In the early development of Tiansheng Sect, Li Mingyang also made great achievements in battle, and was favored by Lin Xiao.
He came out as a model and set a good example for the disciples of the sect.
The more important point is that Li Mingyang is one of the few remaining acquaintances of Lin Xiao's early days. Naturally, he has a friendship there, and it doesn't matter if he supports him.
After telling Li Mingyang how to use it, Li Mingyang left happily. With his blind confidence in Lin Xiao, he felt that he would definitely be able to break through this time.
