Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 244 Bottleneck
In the past few months, the little white snake's spiritual power has grown a bit. Tangning desperately hopes that it can be promoted to a second-level spirit beast, so that it may help her.

After this battle, he deeply felt the problem of his serious lack of strength. Compared with Qin Tianjiao, Zhuang Xingan and others, the gap was immeasurable.

People with their level of strength can cross realms and kill monks who are stronger than themselves, ignoring the difference in realms, and their magical powers are far beyond comparison.

Qin Tianjiao's move of the blue dragon to the sea can even imprison the space, and the man who is as strong as a corpse demon can only be slaughtered in the face of this supernatural power.

Zhuang Xinqian's style of Ten Thousand Thunders Heavenly Prison can actually trigger the vision of heavenly thunder. The rock-solid defense of the skinny old man is instantly annihilated by the flying ash under the sky thunder. The outstanding person can be said to have become famous in the Xingang practice circle in the first battle.

He Ziyang's watery supernatural powers are unpredictable, and he is not afraid of any substantial attack. He overwhelmed the monks in the late stage of foundation establishment of the Corpse Puppet Sect. In the whole battle, the men of the Corpse Puppet Sect can only parry but have no power to fight back.

In terms of attack methods, it may not be as strong as Zhuang Xinqian, but in terms of difficulty, it is definitely above it. The supernatural power of hydration is invisible and formless, and can remove all tangible attacks. It is better than any strongest defense in the world.

Jiang Yuhuan's study of void vertical and horizontal techniques has reached a high level of proficiency, and the power of many space techniques is unpredictable, and he also has magic tricks such as the Twelve Transformations of the True Spirit.

This was all witnessed by Tang Ning, and the genius disciples recognized by the monks in Xingang were indeed much better than ordinary people.

And this is just Xingang, the talented monks in this small place, if they are placed in the entire Tianyuan, the mere Xingang is only the size of a pea, it is nothing.

The world still doesn't know how many amazingly talented people there are, and what kind of methods those favored sons of the big sects and aristocratic families should use.

Originally he was smug, thinking that as long as he continued to practice and improve his cultivation, he might one day be able to ascend to Taixuanzong, but now that he thinks about it, it's ridiculous.

For a monster as huge as Taixuanzong, it was impossible for anyone to pry it in the slightest. He felt deeply powerless, and even a little hesitant and at a loss.

Life in the sect was peaceful and peaceful. Apart from handling the liaison with the intelligence station every day, Tangning was practicing Qi refining. Since the Corpse Puppet Sect acquired the western part of Chu State, it had calmed down a bit and had no intention of invading. After all, They also need time to digest those resources.

Before the various factions of the Demon Sect were not integrated, they hid in various counties, and the intelligence stations were still useful, reporting the whereabouts of some suspicious disciples of the Demon Sect from time to time.

Now that the Demon Sect has raised the banner and lined up swords and guns, the information stations below are idle, and the reports are all trivial matters, most of which are the intriguing affairs of some local cultivating families.

Time flies, and five years have passed in a flash.

In the past few years, the two sides of Xuanmo have remained relatively calm, and there has been no major war. There are rumors that the demon sect sent people to negotiate peace with the sect, intending to transform the world and rule, and put the entire western part of Chu State under the demon sect. River water, it is unknown whether it is true or not.

But in the past two years, the atmosphere has indeed become much more relaxed than in previous years, and it is no longer as tense as before. Many disciples stationed in the camp have withdrawn to the sect, and the intelligence officer Lu Guang has returned to the sect a year ago.

Now the western part of Chu State has fallen into the hands of Mozong, and it has been doing very well in the past few years, which can be described as impressive.

The Demon Sect allowed the cultivating families within its jurisdiction to grow elixir, and only levied [-]% tax on those pharmacy gardens, and encouraged them to breed low-level spirit beasts.

What kind of encouragement?

Mozong bought many low-level cubs in batches from the big islands in Qinghai out of his own pocket, provided them to those practicing families for free, distributed them to them in proportion to the family power, and provided them with special training.

For this reason, the Demon Sect specially sent a group of people to study the method of cultivation, and now this group of people, together with the cubs, are assigned to various cultivation families.

This is simply unimaginable.

When Tang Ning first heard the rumor, he didn't believe it at all. It was completely beyond his understanding. In order to win people's hearts and lower taxes, it is understandable that the Mozong allowed the cultivating family to grow medicinal herbs.

However, it is too unbelievable to go to Qinghai Island to buy cubs at their own expense and distribute them to the cultivating families for free. Which sect would do this kind of loss-making business that hurts itself and benefits others?

Isn't this insane?
But when the information station below handed over the dossiers like snowflakes, he couldn't help but not believe it. The Mozong not only provided them with low-level spirit beast cubs, but also specially assigned a beast breeder to each family. .

The only difference is that these cubs are not provided completely free of charge. After these cultivation families have bred the cubs and made profits, the cost will be returned to them at that time.

If an accident occurs midway and these cubs die due to improper breeding, then all losses will be borne by Mozong.

After confirming that the news was true, Tangning was dumbfounded for a while, and was shocked in her heart. Is this the Demon Sect?What he did was very different from the cruelty and innocence, arrogance and domineering propagandized by Taoism.

Although he already knew that the Demon Sect was not as inhuman as the Taoist propaganda, cruel and easy to kill, but this matter still gave him a great shock.

Compared with Taoism's management style, they seem to be more enlightened, humane, and tolerant.

They attach great importance to the property of their own territory, and they seem to spare no effort to help it develop. Their internal management is chaotic, but the laws are very strict.Especially with regard to financial resources, it can be described as harsh.

There was a dossier from the intelligence station that reported this matter. A disciple of the Demon Sect who was in charge of the cubs of spirit beasts asked for thousands of spirit stones from the practice family, but was beheaded by the senior officials of the Demon Sect. All the spirit stones that the disciple asked for were returned to the practice family.

If this matter is placed in the Taoist sect, it can't be called a matter. This is too common and common, and it happens everywhere.

When Tang Ning was in charge of Jingbei, he didn't need him to speak. Those cultivating families would directly send the annual offerings directly. This was tacitly understood.

Xuanmen will not punish disciples for such a trivial matter.

Mozong's emphasis on resources and financial resources is equivalent to the Taoist precepts of bullying masters and destroying ancestors and killing each other, which is an insurmountable red line.

For the disciples themselves, staying in Xuanmen is much more comfortable than Mozong.

The power is great, and the remuneration and benefits are also high, but for third-party similar practice families, it is obvious that the management of the Mozong is more in line with their interests.

The dossiers submitted by various intelligence stations all reported this matter, and the children of those cultivating families discussed privately that they were desperate for the Demon Sect, and they all wanted to turn against each other.

It's just that those places are still controlled by Gan Yizong, and they dare not directly change the banner.

It is a very unfavorable situation for the sect to have people's hearts against each other. It is conceivable that once the demon sect attacks, those families will immediately turn against them.

…………

Inside the middle finger peak cave, Tangning opened her eyes from sedation. The spiritual power in her body had returned to its original state. The mother-of-pearl clam on the stone table still looked the same, with more than a dozen dark black branches that looked like wood but not wood, and stone but not stone. , looks extremely vicissitudes and simplicity, he has been fed by his own green spiritual power for more than ten years, and there is still no change.

He got up to put it away, sighed slightly, and waved towards the little white snake. The little white snake suddenly appeared on his shoulder from the wine jar, and burrowed into the spirit beast bag.

Tangning left the cave and went straight to the alchemy room. In the past six months, he has been doing alchemy every day besides feeding the mother-of-pearl mussels. Because his cultivation has reached a bottleneck, he can't make any progress.

Breaking through the bottleneck depends on chance, this matter cannot be rushed, and chance is just the most mysterious thing in the world.

Some people can break through the bottleneck within ten days, while some people never meet the so-called chance in their whole life. Everyone has their own opportunities to break through the bottleneck. So far, there is no standard and unified answer in the practice world, and there are different opinions on this.

Tang Ning has encountered several bottlenecks in his practice so far. The first time was when he was refining the third level of Qi, he was trapped by the bottleneck. He did not make any progress in two years. In the end, he was on Hualong Peak. It caused a great shock, making it break through the bottleneck in one fell swoop.

He still remembers the state of mind at that time, the whole person seemed to be in the turbulent waves, but his heart was as calm as water, it was an indescribable feeling, very mysterious.

Later, when he was on the sixth level of Qi Refining, he was not disturbed by the bottleneck at all, and directly advanced to the seventh level of Qi Refining. At that time, he thought it was the effect of the green spiritual energy in his body, but later he realized that this was the realm of transparency.

The practice community calls this phenomenon Tongming, which means clear and bright. It means that there is no wave in the ancient well in the monk's heart, no joy or sorrow, and he is deeply enlightened, so he is not blocked.

Then he encountered a bottleneck in the ninth level of Qi refining, which troubled him for several years. In the end, Liu Ruhan was forcibly taken away, which greatly stimulated him and made him break through the ninth level of Qi refining in one fell swoop.

Of course, Tang Ning didn't count on that mysterious opportunity. He had another preparation. He secretly catalyzed a plant of Dragon Scale Grass, intending to catalyze it to its thousand-year medicinal properties, and then refine it into a elixir. Bottlenecks in the early stages of foundation building are of great benefit.

So now he comes to alchemy every day to improve the skill of elixir. Catalyzing the herbs to a thousand-year-old composition will not be accomplished overnight, at least a few years, and he wants to use this time to improve his level of elixir refining.

When his level of elixir is able to refine the second-order elixir, he will try his best to catalyze the dragon scale grass. This is just a plan, a plan of last resort, and it has not yet been implemented.

At present, the most important thing is to improve alchemy skills, maybe one day we will break through the bottleneck!Then there is no need to spend so much time to catalyze the herbs.

Moreover, refining the elixir from the thousand-year-old Dragon Scale Grass only has a chance to make the monk break through the bottleneck of cultivation, but it is not necessarily effective. He has only encountered the bottleneck for half a year now, so he doesn't need such an urgent catalytic elixir.
