The Peerless Beloved of Time Traveling

Breaking through to the third level of Healer is far more difficult than Xia Jintang imagined.

Perhaps it was because the breakthrough of the first two levels was so smooth that he had the illusion that as long as the spiritual power in the spirit pool reached, he would be able to successfully break through the third level.

However, when it was time to break through, he felt the difficulty, and he also understood the narrow escape that the protagonist experienced in the previous novels when he broke through.

Although he has not yet reached this life-and-death breakthrough, it is not easy at this moment.

On the first day of retreat, Xia Jintang tried to get into concentration and began to attack the third-level barrier. However, even though the spirit pool was so high that it was about to explode, the third-level barrier was as stable as Mount Tai, without any sign of cracking.

No matter how Xia Jintang manipulated his spiritual power to hit the barrier, nothing changed except getting more painful experiences each time.

"I can't do it, it hurts young master to death. If this continues, if I don't break through the third level, I will die of pain first." Xia Jintang lay on the ground in pain and throbbed.

"Master, come on, 001 believes you can do it." 001's calm voice sounded in Xia Jintang's mind. It didn't look like cheering for someone, but more like mocking.

"Then I really thank you for your kind words." Xia Jintang still didn't intend to move. This kind of pain is not the kind of body, but the pain that hits the soul directly. One can imagine what it feels like.

Xia Jintang really didn't want to bear it again.

"001, why don't you take over the body and help me break through, anyway, you won't feel the pain."

Xia Jintang suddenly thought of this good idea, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was a perfect idea.

However, 001, who always took Xia Jintang's wish as his first order, directly refused.

Xia Jintang was a little dumbfounded: "Why?"

"This is what the master has to go through. If you want to survive in this world, you need to do all the cultivation yourself, and 001 can't do it for you." 001 explained calmly.

Xia Jintang's head was really hot just now, but now that he calms down and thinks about it, it is indeed a little opportunistic.

If 001 is responsible for this breakthrough, then the next breakthrough will definitely be more difficult. We can't let 001 do it all the time, so how can he grow?

Pain and difficulty are part of growing up.

After figuring this out, Xia Jintang was no longer obsessed with letting 001 do the work for him. Instead, he rested and was ready to attack the third-level barrier again.

He now understands the reason why the cultivators in the novel retreat for several months in order to break through the level.

He originally thought that breaking through would only happen for a while, at most a few days, but now he has experienced it himself and realized that it is not something you can succeed just because you want to break through.

Alas...Come on, there is a long way to go.

So, every day that followed, Xia Jintang tried hard to hit the third-level barrier, rested and continued when the pain was really severe, and so on.

But seven days have passed, and there is still no sign of the third-level barrier breaking.

"001, do you think I'm not ready yet? Otherwise, why is this third-level barrier so strong that it doesn't even leave a trace?" Xia Jintang had to wonder if he closed the retreat too early?In fact, he hasn't even reached the brink of breakthrough?

"Master, 001 doesn't know." 001 replied truthfully.

It's just a combat system that followed its master, and it doesn't know much about this world.

Xia Jintang just asked casually, and didn't really want 001 to answer.

He is not going to hit the third level this day, he has to think about whether there are other ways to break through.

It's also because he is too confident in himself, thinking that he can break through the third level with his own ability, and he didn't learn from his little uncle. With the support of the big brother's experience, he will definitely be able to avoid more detours.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xia Jintang really couldn't think of a better way to break through. Even in the fantasy novels I read before, there was no detailed description of how the protagonist broke through.

Although the protagonist has also retreated for many days, what is written is basically that the protagonist has successfully broken through with his eyes closed and opened, which is of no reference value.

"001, I'd better go out and ask my little uncle about his breakthrough experience. If we think like this, we might not be able to break through in a month, and then we won't be able to keep up with the competition of the four major families."

Xia Jintang did it when he thought of it, ended the first stage of retreat, and went to Xia Zhennan to learn from it.

Because Dr. Hua Tuo applied medicines and treatments to Xia Zhennan every day, plus taking medicinal baths every three days, Xia Zhennan looked much better than before, his legs were stronger, and he even started to slowly try to stand up.

When Xia Jintang came in, he happened to see Xia Zhennan standing up slowly with the help of his servants.

"Little uncle, can you stand up?" Xia Jintang was very surprised.

"Dun Dun." Xia Zhennan was also very happy to see his beloved nephew.

Although standing did not last long, it was already very rare and exciting for him.

After so many years, he thought that he would never be able to stand up again in this life. He was already disheartened, but he never thought that his dead heart would have a day to recover.

"Little uncle, how are you feeling now?" Xia Jintang asked with concern.

The smile on Xia Zhennan's face never disappeared from the beginning to the end, "It feels good. Doctor Hua Tuo's medical skills are very good. He said that he will be able to try to walk soon."

"That's good, that's good." Xia Jintang was really happy for his little uncle.

"Dun Dun, is your retreat over?" Xia Zhennan suddenly thought why did his little nephew, who was supposed to be in retreat, appear here?

He experienced Xia Jintang's cultivation level, and it was still at the second level.

Could it be that the breakthrough failed?

"Not yet, I have encountered a bottleneck, no matter how I attack, I can't break through the third-level barrier."

Xia Jintang described the difficulties he encountered to Xia Zhennan in detail, probably because he finally had an elder who could act like a baby, and in the process of narrating, there was inevitably a bit of acting like a baby and complaining.

Xia Zhennan touched Xia Jintang's small head, and said with a smile: "Breakthrough itself is not an easy task. The higher the level, the harder it is to break through. Fighting, constantly using your spiritual power, exhausting your spiritual power, and then re-cultivating, repeating the cycle, your spiritual power will also become more solid, and it will be more powerful when you break through."

Xia Jintang was thoughtful, and seemed to have felt a little bit of feeling. He didn't have time to say a few more words to Xia Zhennan, left a goodbye, and retreated again.

This time, Xia Jintang followed Xia Zhennan's guidance and planned to use up all his spiritual energy before returning to practice again.

But in the place of retreat, there are no spirit beasts for him to fight and consume spiritual power, and he can't consume spiritual power out of thin air, so it's not very useful.

"Master, you can refine blank cards." 001 suggested.

Xia Jintang's eyes lit up when he heard the words, if 001 hadn't a physical body, he would have wanted to hold 001 in his arms and give him a kiss.

"001 is just amazing."

Next, Xia Jintang refined blank cards every day to consume all his spiritual power, then re-entered meditation to practice spiritual power, and continued to refine blank cards to consume when he was full.

In just a few days, Xia Jintang had refined hundreds of blank cards, and asked Lele to give him a spirit stone on the way.

While constantly releasing and cultivating spiritual power, Xia Jintang felt that the third-level barrier seemed to be shaken.

Xia Jintang took advantage of the victory to pursue, and hurriedly took the opportunity to condense the spiritual power, transforming the spiritual power into a sharp weapon in the body, and continuously launched attacks towards the third-level barrier.

This time, the third-level barrier was finally no longer as indestructible as before, and a crack gradually appeared.

Xia Jintang saw that there was something going on, and the impact became more violent. Although the pain became more serious, he endured it and continued the impact, striving to break through the third level in one go.

I don't know how long time has passed, Xia Jintang feels as if it has only passed for a moment, but it also seems to have passed for several years.

Ever since he started to break through, he has no specific concept of time.

"001, how many days have passed?" Xia Jintang asked.

Fortunately, there is still 001 who can time him. I don't know if the big competition of the four major families has started, but he must not miss it, otherwise he can imagine how ugly those families' mocking faces are.

"Half a month has passed, and there are still four days before the competition of the four major families." 001 knew what the master cared about, and replied directly.

"Fortunately, I didn't miss it." Xia Jintang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't expect that half a month had passed for this breakthrough, plus the time of the first retreat, it would take almost a month. No wonder it is said that there is no time for cultivation, and it would take months or even years to retreat every now and then. Yes, if it wasn't for the long lifespan of monks, wouldn't all the time be spent in cultivation?

If you can't enjoy life well, that is a loss.

Xia Jintang stretched her stiff body well, felt the spiritual pool in her body that had expanded several times, and the spiritual power filled in it, mobilized the spiritual power to run for a week, and the original stiff and sore feeling disappeared instantly, leaving only I feel refreshed.

"There are so many benefits to this practice, and it's so convenient. With spiritual power, you won't be afraid to stay up all night." Xia Jintang felt his body from left to right, and sure enough, he didn't feel tired anymore, as if everything just now was an illusion.

"001, let's go out and give my little uncle a surprise. I wonder how my little uncle has recovered in the past half a month?"

Xia Jintang excitedly opened the closed secret room, but when he came to the small courtyard, he suddenly found that something was wrong around him.

There was no one in the yard, even Lele, who had been guarding outside him all the time, was gone.

"Lele? Lele?" Xia Jintang yelled a few times, but there was still no sign of anyone.

Xia Jintang had a bad premonition in his heart, and this premonition became stronger and stronger as he walked out of the courtyard.

"Boom!" There was a loud noise, and even the ground under his feet trembled a few times.

Xia Jintang suddenly looked in the direction of the loud noise, which was the direction of Xia's martial arts training ground.

Xia Jintang immediately rushed to the training ground as quickly as possible, but before he arrived, the path along the way was in a mess, and there were still a few bloody Xia family members lying on the ground.
