Drunk Immortal Gourd

During this incident, Qingyang kept a low profile in the end, and the Liang family did not want others to inquire about what happened, so the matter was suppressed by the Liang family after being noisy for a while. Not long after, The whole thing gradually faded away and no one mentioned it again.

Qingyang didn't want to make some of his secrets known to everyone, so he separated from Duan Rusong's family after leaving the Liang family gate. After that, Qingyang didn't stay too long in Yuling City, and used the breath-holding technique to pretend to be a low-level casual cultivator After leaving the city gate, he headed towards the Qingfeng Palace.

After sleeping and eating in the open air along the way, Qingyang returned to Qingfeng Palace a month later. He first handed over the task and then returned to his residence in the inner courtyard. At this time, it had been less than a year since the inner court competition started, and Qingyang could clearly feel that the surrounding atmosphere was much more tense than usual.

After this incident, Qingyang felt that the Iron-armed Monkey was still very helpful to him and could not just watch him grow old, so Qingyang had already decided to give Iron-armed the foundation-building pill donated by Yu Mengmiao. Used by the monkey to help him break through the foundation building stage.

Since the situation of the Iron-armed Monkey could no longer be delayed, Qingyang did not delay any more. He directly took out the Foundation Establishment Pill and gave it to the Iron-armed Monkey, and then asked him to find a secluded place near the hill of Drunken Immortal Gourd. In this place, try to break through the foundation building period.

Breaking through is not an easy thing. The higher your cultivation level, the more difficult it is to break through. Not only do you have to be fully prepared, but you also have to spend a lot of time adjusting your state. Only when you feel that you have the conditions to break through can you take it. Pills assist in breakthroughs.

Afterwards, he refines the elixir and converts the large amounts of spiritual power contained in it into his own true energy and true essence, breaking through the bottlenecks of his cultivation and the shackles of his soul. This process varies from person to person. Some may succeed in a month or two, some may find it difficult to break through in a year or two, and some may even never be able to break through.

The Iron-armed Monkey is a monster beast that lacks intelligence and relies almost entirely on instinct for cultivation. It is old and frail and does not have much longevity left. Moreover, this time to break through the foundation building, it needs to compress a large amount of true energy and condense it into true essence, which is very difficult. It's just too big. Qingyang has no idea how long this breakthrough will take, or even whether it can be achieved. He has done everything he needs to do, and he can only leave everything to fate.

The matter of the Iron-armed Monkey is put aside for the time being. Qingyang's current energy is mainly focused on the Inner Court Competition. It is too difficult to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill by yourself. The success or failure depends on God's will, so he has won the Inner Court Competition. Kidan's path certainly cannot be given up easily.

Considering that his cultivation at the eighth level of Qi Refining is still a bit low, although he can compete with some ninth-level Qi Refining monks, he is still far behind those truly experienced Qi Refining Perfection monks. Qingyang knew that he must take advantage of this opportunity. In order to improve his strength as much as possible in less than a year before the start of the inner court competition, he had already thought of the specific method, so he used that high-grade spiritual stone.

After settling down, Qingyang closed his courtyard and began to retreat again. He first spent more than a month adjusting his condition and felt that he had the conditions to quickly improve his strength. He took out the high-grade spiritual stone.

Holding the high-grade spiritual stone in his hand, Qingyang could truly feel the surging spiritual power inside. It seemed that as long as he found an outlet, it would surge forward like a river bursting its banks. The value of a high-grade spiritual stone was even more than tens of thousands of low-grade spiritual stones. The energy contained in the spirit stone can be imagined.

Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Although it is great to improve your cultivation quickly, there are also many disadvantages. The meridians and Dantian have to withstand the baptism and erosion of massive amounts of spiritual energy, and the body has to experience tremendous pain. One careless step can cause the state to become unstable or become possessed. , thus causing immeasurable consequences.

If Qingyang's previous cultivation had not been achieved step by step by himself, and his state was relatively stable, and if he had not taken blood lotus seeds, Qingyang would not have dared to take such a risk.

Qingyang looked at this high-grade spiritual stone carefully, feeling a little reluctant to part with it. Not to mention Qi Refining monks and Foundation-building monks, many golden elixir monks don't have this thing. The value of one piece is more than tens of thousands of low-grade spiritual stones. It's so straightforward. It would be a shame to use it up.

However, thinking about the upcoming competition in the inner courtyard, Qingyang's reluctance disappeared. With his eighth level of Qi refining, he could compete with the disciples who had just entered the ninth level of Qi refining. But in the inner courtyard, There are two to three hundred disciples who have reached perfection in Qi refining alone. How can you stand out among the many disciples with this level of cultivation? You can’t wait until the next session ten years from now, right?

Good things have to be used. If you keep them on your body, they can only count as a stone. Although they are very valuable, who knows what the future will be like? For cultivating immortals, sometimes one step is faster and the other is faster. Cultivation is the most important thing. When one’s cultivation is high, you might be able to get better things. If you keep clinging to your limitations, everything will be delayed, both in terms of human and financial resources. It is possible to lose everything.

After figuring this out, Qingyang didn't hesitate at all. He sat cross-legged in the quiet room, then held the high-grade spiritual stone in both hands, and began to use his skills to absorb the spiritual power inside.

With the operation of Qingyang Kung Fu, the spiritual power in the high-grade spiritual stone was stimulated. Following the movement route of the Qingyang Kung Fu, a large amount of spiritual power was led from the spirit stone to Qingyang's meridians.

Although Qingyang was prepared for this, he was still frightened by the surging spiritual power. The huge impact almost destroyed Qingyang's meridians. It was like an escaped flash flood rushing into a small and fragile ditch, with astonishing destructive power.

In fact, this is normal. The spiritual power contained in one high-grade spiritual stone is equivalent to the energy contained in thousands of low-grade spiritual stones, which is also equivalent to the energy contained in thousands of Qi Gathering Pills taken by Qi Refining Monk. Normally, when a Qi Refining monk improves his cultivation level, it takes several days to refine a Qi Gathering Pill. The spiritual power of thousands of Qi Gathering Pills is activated at once, and the impact on Qingyang can be imagined. .

Qingyang groaned and almost suffered internal injuries. Then all the meridians in his body wanted to be plowed through. Huge pain hit his whole body, that tearing feeling, that ubiquitous itching and numbness. , but couldn't catch it, couldn't scratch it, which made Qingyang almost collapse.

Although every time Qingyang broke through the bottleneck before, he felt some pain, but it was completely different from this time. I am afraid that the pain when he took Kaimai Dan for the first time in Liangzhou can be compared with the pain. Does this compare? Unexpectedly, many years later, I would feel that almost despairing pain again.

However, Qingyang knew very well that now was not the time to think about this, he must take advantage of this opportunity to quickly improve his cultivation. So he endured the physical pain, withdrew his mind, and devoted all his attention to spiritual guidance.
