I am cultivating immortals in mortal science

Chapter 28 The Mystery of the Bottleneck
One by one, the yellow dragon pills entered the abdomen, Luo Hong's cultivation level increased at a steady speed, and the silver runes in the meridians of the basic exercises were also steadily comprehended.

But the good times didn't last long, less than a month later, Luo Hong had an accident when refining the medicinal power of Huanglong Pill. The new mana that should have entered the dantian was squeezed out and then spilled out.

Luo Hong glanced at her current mana cap, which was 500, and her cultivation was only 11 mana cap away from the peak of the eighth level of Qi Refining.

"It turned out to be a bottleneck, great!"

During the Qi refining period, the cultivator usually reaches the fourth floor to the fifth floor, the eighth floor to the ninth floor, and the [-]th floor to the thirteenth floor. These three barriers encounter bottlenecks.

If you can't break through, you can't go further. There are many immortal cultivators in the past and present who have been cut off before these three levels. Although they haven't reached the level of bottlenecks, they will definitely not be happy when they encounter them.

However, Luo Hong regarded the bottleneck as an extremely rare research opportunity. He didn't feel any obstacles when he rose from the fourth floor to the fifth floor. At the time, he felt quite disappointed, but now he has finally caught it.

"I'll just say, how could I not meet a bottleneck with my [-]th-grade spiritual root aptitude, I was completely worried before."

In fact, only from the data, we can know that the so-called bottleneck is the phenomenon that the cultivator cultivates in a normal way and cannot reach the upper limit of mana required to break through the next realm.

When Luo Hong went to Chuan Gongtang to listen to lectures by chance, he heard some common methods to break through bottlenecks, and the experience of these predecessors all verified his conclusions.

First of all, the best way to use it is to take drugs, take a powerful medicinal elixir, and use the increased mana limit in a short period of time to forcibly break through the bottleneck.

The second is to purify one's own mana, spend a lot of time polishing and refining it over and over again, and then it will be a natural way to break through the bottleneck.

All immortal cultivators in the Qi refining stage who encounter bottlenecks will choose to take medicine, but the reality will force most of them to embark on the path of pure mana, which is why there are so many pure mana refiners in Huangfeng Valley gas old man

After figuring out what is the bottleneck, the next question is:

Why is the maximum mana of a cultivator limited?
Why do immortal cultivators with good spiritual root qualifications not encounter bottlenecks?
These two questions are not difficult to answer. As we all know, the Qi refining period is actually the period when the cultivator polishes and strengthens the dantian.

Then the upper limit of mana cannot be increased, naturally because the dantian of the cultivator can no longer hold more mana.

The spiritual root qualification determines the purity of the initial mana of the cultivator. Taking Luo Hong's fourth-grade spiritual root as an example, he will absorb four of the five elements of aura when cultivating, compared to the second-grade spirit that only absorbs two kinds of auras. Gen, the same exercise, Luo Hong's mana will have more impurities in it.

That is to say, the higher the aptitude of the spiritual root, the higher the purity of the mana cultivated by the immortal cultivator.

And the higher the purity of mana, the greater the actual stock of mana in the dantian of the same size, so that highly qualified immortal cultivators will naturally not encounter bottlenecks.

So should I start to consciously purify mana for future cultivation?

Luo Hong couldn't help but fall into this kind of thinking.

For other immortal cultivators, this is simply something that does not need to be considered. There are too few medicinal pills that can help break through the bottleneck, and lack of pure mana is equivalent to giving up the path of immortality.

The reason Luo Hong hesitated was because he thought of those seniors in the Yellow Maple Valley who had reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, but were trapped by the bottleneck of the Foundation Establishment.

They are basically cultivators of the second-rank spiritual root. With their aptitude and long-term polishing of their own mana, their mana should be quite pure, but they still cannot be broken through. Why?
Obviously, there must be other constraints in addition to the purity of mana!

After thinking about it, the problem most likely lies in the size of the dantian.

Because when the purity of mana is difficult to change, the only thing that can significantly increase the upper limit of mana is the size of the dantian.

The size of the dantian is only related to a person's physique. Except for the few legal forms, there should only be slight differences between each immortal cultivator.

The second-rank spiritual root cultivators have cultivated all the way. Although they encountered very few bottlenecks, they may have expanded their dantian when they built the foundation, because it was not necessary at other times, which eventually made it difficult for their mana limit to reach the next realm. .

Of course, at this stage, there will always be immortal cultivators who realize this problem, and they will also try to expand their dantian, but why haven't they seen a few people succeed?
Could it be that the expansion of Dantian is not so easy?

Luo Hong felt that it was necessary to do an experiment, so she took another Huanglongdan.

This time, instead of depositing a little mana into his dantian, he let them continue to run with the spiritual energy in the meridians, and finally put the 6 mana extracted into his dantian.

Luo Hong was 11 mana away from breaking through. Although these 6 mana could not allow him to break through, it also made his dantian exceed the current carrying limit, so his dantian was slightly enlarged.

However, the dantian began to retract in the next moment, and Luo Hong's 6 mana was quickly forced out.

"It turns out that there will be such a reaction. In this case, if you want to expand your dantian, you must continue to input mana into the dantian, so that the dantian will remain in an expanded state for a long time, and eventually enter a stable state.

The input Dharma power cannot be less than the amount squeezed out by the dantian, otherwise it will be useless. How to do this? "

Luo Hong quickly thought of the easiest way, taking a powerful medicinal pill, refining part of the medicinal power and putting it into the dantian, and the rest of the medicinal power was continuously refined into mana to supplement it like normal cultivation.

"To maintain the balance and get the most benefit, I need to collect more data."

After all, Luo Hong took another Yellow Dragon Pill. This time, he first forced 2 mana into it, and after it was exhausted, he forced 4 mana into it.

The result is obvious, the more mana that is forced into it, the faster the dantian squeezes out the mana.

"Fortunately, I practice spiritual pressure Dafa. The inner spiritual pressure in the meridians is stable, and the mana that is cultivated per unit time is fixed. Otherwise, it is really difficult to control."

After some calculations, the results were shocking.

Luo Hong's cultivation speed was accelerated by more than 20 times under the spiritual pressure method, and she could barely maintain her dantian's 10 mana beyond the limit!

This does not mean that he can break through twice in a row. The first time he can exceed the limit of 10 mana, but after the Dantian expands, it is estimated that the next time he can not even maintain the limit of 1 mana.

According to this calculation result, it is impossible for an immortal cultivator to break through the bottleneck by swallowing medicinal pills, but the facts tell Luo Hong that taking medicine is the easiest way to break through the bottleneck.

Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, and data will not deceive people, it is only possible that Luo Hong missed a crucial factor!
This unknown factor can provide the missing part of the cultivation speed when the cultivator breaks through the bottleneck.
