Mysterious Tribulation

Under the moonlight.

In a barren mountain, in a temporarily opened cave.

After Aaron finished comprehending the exercises, he suddenly had a whim, so he sat cross-legged and performed the 'Ming Yu Jue'.

In his body, the mana essence of the foundation building period was like a clear spring, gurgling and moving, and the bones all over his body emitted crystal light.

Then, the 11th level of exercises successfully broke through and entered the twelfth level, which represents the middle stage of foundation establishment!

This bottleneck...is it so easy to break through?

I originally planned to slowly spend tens or hundreds of years with it...

Aaron glanced at the properties panel:

【Boundary: Middle Foundation Establishment Stage】

【Cultivation method: The twelfth floor of Ming Yu Jue (1/2000)】

[Skill: Tier 2 Jade Bone (300/1000)]

...

Breakthrough in the cultivation technique, even with the jade bones.

Aaron looked at his palm, exerted a little force, and heard crackling joints.

This second-order jade bone is already comparable to the strength of ordinary low-grade magic weapons... In other words, even if I stand there without defense, let the Qi-refining monk manipulate the magic weapon to attack , those magic tools are also likely to be stuck by the bones? Can't cause fatal injuries?

But I was stupid to try the body connector...

Besides...Although the supernatural powers specialize in bone refining, my bones are strong, and my physical strength is also improving rapidly...It has reached the point where I can crush the Huajin martial artist with bare hands, without using any martial skills... Practicing martial arts really has no future.

In fact, if he has devoted himself to studying martial arts for hundreds of years, he may be able to figure out the general idea of ​​refining martial arts.

But the input was not directly proportional to the output, so Aaron didn't spend any more time on this way, and the progress naturally stagnated.

Even if you have free time to practice, wouldn't it be nice to talk to those Kunxiu who are proficient in the art of spring cry?

Why practice martial arts?

Hmm... This breakthrough, compared to the previous mana, has increased by a full 30%!

Aaron checked it and couldn't help but be quite satisfied.

He also realized at this time that he had been stuck in the bottleneck for some years.

Moreover, after another bloody battle, the key is to kill the enemy and have a clear mind...

Or it may be that after penance, going out for a walk is good for your mood...

It may also be that he has obtained the follow-up exercises, and obtained a little gain from comprehension...

All in all, it may be the result of the addition of various factors, which made him naturally break through the bottleneck and enter the middle stage of foundation establishment!

With only a few golden cores in the Lin and Wu countries, the mid-stage foundation establishment is already a mid-to-high level that cannot be ignored.

As for the later stage of foundation establishment?

They are even rarer, and they have begun to plan for alchemy, so they will not be easily entangled in the trivial matters of sects and forces.

At this time, if Aaron cooperates with the Black Sun Demon Fire, even a monk in the late stage of Foundation Establishment will be sure to fight!

I finally have a sense of security...Of course, there are still those Ancestors of Jiedan who are pressing on their heads...

Now that the exercises are in hand, it's time for me to start thinking about forming alchemy...

Dan!

An ancestor of alchemy is enough to occupy a country, open up a great sect of alchemy, and pass it on for thousands of years!

This is the dream of all low-level monks!

Aaron never felt that he would not be able to complete the foundation-building period, so he had to start preparing in advance.

Actually... the qualifications of the so-called Three Spirit Root monks are not bad, and they just have the opportunity to build a foundation...

After the foundation was established, the aptitude of the three spiritual roots is a little lower...

Cultivation...how can it be possible not to encounter a bottleneck?

According to my estimate, a cultivator with three spiritual roots is dedicated to the Dao, and he cultivates on the spiritual veins of the three peaks. There is no bottleneck. It takes about 150 years to complete the cultivation of the foundation period and have a chance to form a pill... ...

However, this is only a theoretically perfect model. Most monks with three spiritual roots, without the help of better spiritual veins and spiritual pills, basically spend their entire lives in the foundation building period, unable to cultivate to the perfect state, and have no hope of forming alchemy for life!

My situation is a little bit better. The one who can definitely reach perfection in cultivation is the pass of alchemy...

According to Aaron's inquiries over the years and his own observations of classics.

In terms of forming alchemy, the death rate of monks has decreased, and it is not that they will die if they fail to form alchemy.

Of course, severe damage to one's vitality, regression in the state of one's skills... and even shortening one's lifespan are unavoidable.

The really unlucky ones may also be counterattacked by direct exercises and become incapacitated.

And after a failure, even a monk with dual spiritual roots often find it difficult to re-cultivate and continue to attack!

Even cultivators with different spiritual roots such as Feng Lingen and Lei Lingen will still be stuck in the bottleneck of alchemy, making life worse than death.

The only exception is the monk Tianlinggen.

Having experience in foundation building... I can start preparing after the late stage of foundation building... There is no need to compete for those elixir that can increase the chance of forming a pill!

It is conceivable that even if it can only increase the chance of forming an alchemy by 15%, those foundation cultivators will break their heads for it!

No... even monk Lian Dan would act shamelessly to accumulate heritage for the sect and the family!

Aaron is not sensitive to this kind of blood mud swamp, which is the most competitive.

What I need to look for is not a elixir that increases the probability of breaking through, but a life-saving elixir... just as long as it can guarantee that the elixir will not die if it fails!

Even if the cultivation method falls back to the Qi refining stage... ordinary foundation cultivators will die of old age, but I won't!

According to the plan at the time of foundation establishment, find enough life-saving and healing spirits... and then keep trying, one time won't work twice, two times won't work three times, three times won't work four times... Isn't it just alchemy? You're familiar with it... ...will always work out.

But this time, there will be some troubles in the follow-up.

After thinking about it, Aaron suddenly felt a sound outside the retreat.

He raised his hand and shot a magic power to make a passage through the restriction, and a long-lived turtle the size of a washbasin slowly crawled in, naturally it was Xiaoqing.

It opened its eyes wide and uttered a few babbling tortoises.

Of course, as the master, Aaron can contact through the blood contract and probably know what it means.

Is the woman awake?

Let's go, see you!

Aaron shook up his sleeves and stood up, leading Xiaoqing to another part of the cave.

Uncle Yu!

Shen Qingchen was sitting on the stone bed to adjust his breath. Seeing Aaron approaching, he immediately got up and saluted: Thank you, Uncle Yu, for saving me. What happened afterwards?

To be honest... Actually, I have been hiding my strength. Aaron replied with a serious expression.

Huh? Uncle Yu, you are actually a middle-term monk?

Sensing Aaron's undisguised, much stronger mana than himself, Shen Qingchen said in surprise.

Exactly.

After more than 30 years of secretly breaking through the mid-term, it is not too fast, and Aaron doesn't mind exposing something.

He is already very skilled at using a truth to cover up a greater truth.

Actually, your uncle and I have already made a breakthrough secretly. It's just that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong, so they have been hiding their cultivation... This time when I met a monk of the magic way, you were injured again... I can only show my strength and lead you to fight out. Siege!

Aaron's face was heavy: As for Fellow Daoist Zhong? Fellow Daoist should have seen it too. Unfortunately, he died at the hands of Moxiu!

Elder Zhong... Shen Qingchen couldn't help being silent.
