When I take my cultivation to the extreme

Chapter 104 Breakthrough!The two-story jade palace is in the middle stage of foundation building.
Li Fan closed his eyes and meditated, constructing the second level of the jade palace in the sea of ​​​​qi.

The exercises in the Danyang Taiqing Jade Palace Sutra are step-by-step. Only after the first layer of Jade Palace has been sealed can the second layer of Jade Palace be constructed. The operation route of the exercises and the sequence of visualizations all have internal rules. , including the structure of the visualization diagram, all coincide with the way of heaven and earth.

If you have enlightenment, you will probably be able to feel the inner rhythm of the technique, and practice it with twice the result with half the effort.

Since the first level of Lifan is closed, the second level of Jade Palace will be built on this basis.

This layer of jade palace is not isolated, but is closely connected with the first layer of jade palace. The spiritual liquid extends upward again along the connection point of the first layer of jade palace, and gradually forms according to the visualization diagram.

Li Fan was focused and serious, and soon entered a state where he forgot both things and himself, with only pure thoughts about the operation of the technique in his consciousness.

in this way.

Two hours passed, and Li Fan's Danyang Taiqing Jade Palace Scripture circulated for a week.

Suddenly, he felt a slight shock in his heart.

In the sea of ​​​​qi, the second level of the Heavenly Palace Jade Palace has been completely constructed, and it has already taken shape.

Li Fan was running the exercises for a week.

He slowly opened his eyes.

Li Fan's eyes were always bright, with light flashing from time to time. Now they were even more energetic, and his eyes looked deep and pure.

He senses his own condition.

The second level of the jade palace of the Danyang Taiqing Jade Palace Scripture has been completed, and Li Fan's realm is like sailing with the current, and it has reached the middle stage of foundation construction without any obstacles.

One of the signs of the middle stage of foundation building is that Li Fan can feel that the total amount of spiritual liquid in the air sea is twice as strong as that of the early stage of foundation building!
In other words, Li Fan's spiritual power was twice as strong as in the initial stage of foundation building.

Li Fan felt happy in his heart, and even wanted to hold his head up and laugh.

"Hahaha, when I practiced Danyang Taiqing Jade Palace Sutra before, in the early stage of foundation building, my spiritual power was actually not bad, even about [-]% higher than that of monks at the same time. My skill level was higher, but I still felt The spiritual power is not enough."

"Actually, it's not a problem with the technique or myself, but with the Taoist techniques I practice and the Seven Ultimate Swords I use. They are all high-consuming and powerful, especially the Fire Phoenix Burning Heaven Technique. This Taoist technique is suggested at the beginning. It is best to practice after the middle stage of foundation building, otherwise it will consume too much spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy in the early stage of foundation building will not be able to sustain it for too long."

"However, the Danyang Taiqing Jade Palace Manual is superior to other techniques, so I can practice this technique at the early stage of foundation building."

"Now that I have reached the middle stage of foundation building, my spiritual power has doubled compared to the early stage of foundation building. I will no longer encounter the embarrassment of insufficient spiritual power. Moreover, I can also learn some higher-level ones based on this foundation." The Taoist skills enrich my coping ability in actual combat."

"Moreover, as my level reaches a higher level, even my alchemy ability will increase accordingly. After all, alchemy also requires the alchemist to have enough spiritual power to support and control the fire of the alchemy furnace."

"Not to mention, I am one step closer to my wish to live forever."

"Hahaha!"

Li Fan felt happy.

His great wish in life is to achieve immortality and truly become an immortal.

Although the road to eternal life is long, Li Fan is very confident and is not afraid of a long road. The further he goes, the greater the joy will be.

Li Fan did not deliberately restrain his emotions, and was naturally happy.

After a while, the joy of this realm breakthrough gradually faded, but it did not disappear. Instead, it became a faint feeling of joy and became the background of Li Fan's mood.

Li Fan gradually returned to normal.

He felt it.

When sealing the first level of the Danyang Taiqing Jade Palace Sutra, the natural material and earthly treasure such as Jasper Qiongtu was used. This material is of earth attribute, and the skill of the Danyang Taiqing Jade Palace Sutra will be used to seal the gates at each level. Brings a magical power.

Li Fan felt for a moment and found a wonderful experience.

He suddenly discovered that if he wanted to, he could escape into the earth and rocks with just one thought. The earth and rocks would separate like ocean waves, and Li Fan could swim between the earth and rocks like a good swimmer.

This is a bit underestimating this new magical ability. The real situation is actually a bit like when using water escape. It is not swimming. Water escape can control the flow of water. It doesn't matter whether you can swim or not. You can naturally control it. The water flows, allowing Levan to move freely.

As for Li Fan's many magical powers now, that's it, but what he can control is not sea water, but earth, stone, and the earth.

"Is this the magical power of 'Earth Movement'?" Li Fan thought to himself.

If he wanted to now, he could escape from Nuanyu Pavilion underground.

Just like that, the white jade floor of Li Fan's very nice house was broken.

"Well... I have the opportunity to go to the back mountain to use the magic power here. Haha, the magic power is not a Taoist magic. It does not occupy spiritual consciousness or consume spiritual energy when used. It only consumes some physical strength."

"I don't have earth spiritual roots. Although I can also practice earth-based Taoism, the effect is not very good and it consumes a lot of money, so I have never practiced it."

"Now that I have the magical power of Earth Bending, my ability to survive in various situations is much higher." Li Fan thought to himself.

He is still very interested in practicing magic here, and he must test it out when he has time.

Li Fan calmed down.

He also understood what to do next.

The Danyang Taiqing Jade Palace Sutra is divided into five layers of jade palaces. The first layer of jade palace has been closed. The following is to continue practicing. Then when the second layer of jade palace is completed, find another kind of heavenly material and earthly treasure, Xuanwu. Fine gold' seals the gate.

In fact, the five layers of jade palace in the technique and the corresponding five types of sealing heaven and earth treasures are also very particular.

The first layer of the jade palace is made of jasper and fine earth to seal the pass. It is a treasure of heaven and earth with the attribute of earth.

Among the five elements, earth produces gold.

Therefore, the 'Xuanwu Fine Gold' required for the second level of the Jade Palace is metallic.

The three types of heavenly materials and earthly treasures needed for sealing the pass later correspond to gold producing water, water producing wood, and wood producing fire.

Step by step, closely related.

The well-inherited top-level skills are so interconnected, step-by-step, and very correct.

Li Fan also thought about what to do next.

Keep up the progress of your practice, and look for opportunities to obtain Xuanwu Fine Gold. If you have spare energy, obtain the 'Taiyi Divine Water' needed for the third level of Jade Palace in advance to seal the pass.

Li Fan already had a plan in mind for what he would do next.

He had already set a goal in his mind since he last heard Yi Chaosheng talk about the battlefield outside the territory, the level of the kingdom of immortality, etc.

Within a hundred years, the golden elixir will be achieved.

In this way, Li Fan is qualified to go to other more spiritual worlds to further his practice.

However, one has to eat one meal at a time and do one thing at a time. The next thing to achieve in practice is the second level of Jade Palace sealing.

At this time, the outdoor sunlight shines on the window paper, penetrates into the Nuanyu Pavilion, and leaves a faint light and shadow on the sandalwood table.

Li Fan noticed that it was already the past night.

It took him six hours to seal the barrier yesterday, and it took at least another two hours to break through later. Now, it should be close to noon on the second day.

Li Fan opened the window.

The bright sunshine shines in, making people feel warm.

Li Fan squinted his eyes slightly, enjoying the feeling of the sun shining on his body and relaxing his mood.

So, after a while, Li Fan suddenly saw a golden light flying over from the sky.

Seeing this golden light, Li Fan immediately recognized that it was his master Yi Chaosheng who had returned.

Li Fan thought for a moment and felt that he was already in the middle stage of foundation building. He had to tell his master no matter what, so he closed the window, turned around and walked out of Nuanyu Pavilion.

Li Fan walked out of Nuanyu Pavilion and came to the vast square of Tianxiao Palace.

At this time, Yi Chaosheng also returned to Tianxiao Palace.

The golden light slowed down and then fell. The light gradually dissipated, and Yi Chaosheng's figure appeared, standing not far in front of Li Fan.

"Master." Li Fan bowed his hands and saluted.

Yi Chaosheng nodded and said: "Li Fan, just in time, I have something to ask you... Huh?"

Yi Chaosheng was halfway through his words when he suddenly widened his eyes in surprise and stared at Li Fan.

"You...are you the first level of Danyang Taiqing Jade Palace Seal, and have you broken through to the middle stage of foundation building?" Yi Chaosheng looked very surprised and asked Li Fan.

"Yes, my disciple, I had better luck before. My cultivation went very smoothly, and I got the Jasper Qiong soil, so I immediately closed the gate and made a breakthrough." Li Fan replied, "Luckily, it went smoothly. Now I am already in the middle stage of foundation building. For." Upon hearing this, Yi Chaosheng looked shocked for a moment after confirming Li Fan's cultivation level.

After a while, Yi Chaosheng came back to his senses, a look of joy on his face.

"Okay! Okay, it's really good!" He was quite excited, and his face became rosier because of it. "I originally thought that the exercises of the Danyang Taiqing Jade Palace Sutra would be difficult for you, although the first layer of jade Que is relatively easy to build and seal, but it will take you at least ten or 15 years to break through."

"I didn't expect that in less than four years, you would enter the country like this!"

"Hahahaha! I, Yi Chaosheng, have really good eyesight. When I saw you back then, I felt that you had extraordinary abilities and extraordinary understanding, and that you were a unique genius in cultivating immortals. Now it seems that my eyesight is really accurate. Very, very accurate."

"Hahaha, I'm very discerning, don't you think so?"

Li Fan pursed his lips slightly when he heard this.

He thought to himself, Master, have you forgotten?When we first met, you said that my spiritual foundation for cultivating immortals was too poor. Although you were more optimistic about me, you definitely didn't say that I was a one-of-a-kind genius in cultivating immortals.

Of course, Li Fan would not pour cold water on Yi Chaosheng at this time.

Li Fan said: "If I were living in the Luo Xing Islands, I might just be a frustrated and unmotivated casual cultivator today. Master's insight is the reason why I have achieved today's achievements."

"In my heart, I am very grateful to you."

Li Fan's words were a compliment to both Yi Chaosheng and himself. After all, a discerning eye recognizes pearls. In addition to Yi Chaosheng's discerning eye, Li Fan himself must also be a pearl.

But this is also true. Li Fan has always felt that he is indeed pretty good in all aspects, and he is also very grateful to Yi Chaosheng.

In fact, Li Fan still doesn't know why Yi Chaosheng was so kind to him at that time. Not only did he inform him about Yuan Jade Marrow, but he also left an opening to accept a disciple. Although Li Fan had to fight for it on his own. There are conditions for Wandao Sect to accept disciples, but it is undeniable that Yi Chaosheng helped more than he should.

If he met a senior who was generally indifferent in the world of immortality, Li Fan would just give him some spiritual stones and magic weapons when he helped Yi Xixuan, and he would be dismissed without going to the extent of accepting a disciple.

Li Fan has a clear sense of grudges and grudges in his heart. He knows that Yi Chaosheng did not have to do this, but Yi Chaosheng did it. There is no need to ask why, this is kindness.

If it weren't for Yi Chaosheng's side, Li Fan might not have no future despite the white bead mark, but it would definitely not be as smooth as practicing in Wandao Sect.

Li Fan feels that if someone has helped him, he still has to think of the other person's benefits. In this way, it will be better for others and himself.

Yi Chaosheng heard the true feelings in Li Fan's words and was a little moved and quite emotional.

Yi Chaosheng knew very well the reason for accepting Li Fan as his apprentice.

At first, Yi Chaosheng just wanted to help his niece Yi Xixuan survive the love crisis, so he made an exception and accepted Li Fan as his disciple.

However, after a few years, Yi Chaosheng discovered that Li Fan was really up to date!

Not only is he smart and upright, but he is also flexible and non-conformist. Whether it is his cultivation progress, his level of Taoism, or his sect's reputation, the impression he has left among his elders is quite good.

By the way, Li Fan also has the talent of an alchemist!
Today is the day of the regular meeting of the sect elders. All the elders who are free in the sect went to the Tianyuan Peak meeting hall to meet.

Before and after the meeting, Lu Danfeng, the third elder of Tianzun Peak, Song Yunhua, the seventh elder of Tianwen Peak, and Luo Qing, the guest elder Luo Qing, all praised Li Fan, saying that Yi Chaosheng had good vision and had accepted a good disciple.

Yi Chaosheng looked calm on the outside, but he was actually very excited when he heard it.

When he reaches his position, he doesn't have so many worldly things to worry about. What he really wants is to be in front of others, and to have a successor.

Li Fan is becoming more and more in line with Yi Chaosheng's wishes.

When Yi Chaosheng came back, he wanted to praise Li Fan, but he didn't expect an unexpected surprise. Li Fan actually sealed the first level of the Danyang Taiqing Jade Palace Sutra and built the second level of the Jade Palace. The middle stage of foundation building.

Yi Chaosheng knew very well that the Danyang Taiqing Jade Palace Sutra was characterized by high achievements, but it was difficult to practice. He didn't expect Li Fan to advance quickly, but Li Fan's current advancement has actually surpassed Yi Chaosheng's. Tide of expectation.

What this brought about was Yi Chaosheng's re-evaluation of Li Fan's talent.

Perhaps, he really has acquired a genius who is unique in cultivating immortals, and this technique is particularly suitable for Li Fan?

Li Fan's words also moved Yi Chaosheng a little.

Yi Chaosheng is hundreds of years old and has seen many people and things. It is completely obvious whether he is sincere or not.

Li Fan is sincere and sincere. He is grateful and has a very good character.

People of this age, such as Yi Chaosheng, who have achieved such an achievement, value this very much.

Yi Chaosheng is becoming more and more satisfied with Li Fan.

He gradually forgot his "original intention" of accepting a disciple in the first place, and increasingly regarded Li Fan as a true disciple and even a successor.

"Okay, Fan'er, if you think so, you are worthy of our fate as master and disciple." Yi Chaosheng said, stroking his beard.

After a moment, he said: "By the way, I just came back from Tianyuan Peak. There is something that involves you, and it is also related to the basalt gold, the treasure of heaven and earth, that is needed to seal the Jade Palace on the second level of your technique. It's your turn." Know.”

"Oh? What's going on?" Li Fan suddenly regained his energy.

Yi Chaosheng said: "Today is the regular meeting of elders. In addition to some recent minor frictions between other sects, we talked about the sect competition that will be held in two and a half years."

"The sect's grand competition requires all disciples in the sect to participate. It includes comparisons between outer sects, inner sects, and direct disciples, as well as comparisons between Qi refining, foundation building, etc."

"Disciples with higher evaluations in the competition and higher rankings will have their daily good deeds and benefits improved, while those at the top will receive additional rewards."

"This time, the first three direct disciples of the sect in the Foundation Establishment Stage will be rewarded with three magic weapons and treasures of heaven and earth, including the 'Xuanwu Fine Gold' you need to seal the second level of the Jade Palace."

"If you rank in the top three, you will have a chance to obtain this item."

Li Fan's heart moved when he heard this.

Is it time for the sect competition?
Li Fan is no stranger to this.

He had friends in the sect, and Lin Xuxian told Li Fan about the competition within the sect.

Every ten years, Wandao Sect will hold a sect competition.

The purpose is to urge disciples not to slack off and strive for the best.

In the competition, there is a literary test, but this accounts for less than one-tenth of the content. The most important thing is to test the disciples' progress in martial arts, actual mastery of Taoism, real fighting ability, etc. aspect.

Among them, those who are capable are at the top and those who are incompetent are at the bottom.

The results of the competition are included in the disciples' evaluation and hold a lot of weight.

On the one hand, Wandao Sect is very cohesive, but on the other hand, it also has a cruel side.

In the annual competition, those who rank higher will not only have a higher reputation and status, but also receive rewards, and determine the level of basic immortality cultivation materials provided by the door every month.

For example, Lin Xuxian, who is also a direct disciple in the Foundation Establishment stage, was rated as Class A and Second Class last time. The materials for cultivating immortals he gets every month are much more than those of his fellow disciples who are also direct disciples but are rated as Class B. , one level higher, at least a few bottles of Xuanyuan Dan behind.

Within the Wandao Sect, disciples cherish time and materials very much. The rankings brought by the competition are not just honors, but will actually affect the distribution of materials, so no one dares to relax or take it lightly.

What is even more cruel is that the disciples with the worst rankings in the competition, such as the disciples with the lowest rankings among the outer sect and the inner sect, will be persuaded to withdraw from the Wandao Sect.

Among the ten thousand sects, not only are there no idlers, but even if you work hard, those with insufficient talent or bad luck may be eliminated.

Before Li Fan entered the Wandao Sect, the foundation-building monk from the Loose Cultivator Alliance he met on Lingsha Island was the disciple who was eliminated by the Wandao Sect.

Even among the inner disciples, the pressure is huge.

That's why Hu Feng came to join Li Fan a few years ago.

In short, the Wandao Sect's sect competition is a major event that occurs once every ten years. It is very important. It affects not only the competition itself, but also all aspects.

Among the direct disciples, even if there is no risk of being persuaded to quit, if they are ranked low in the competition, it will be difficult for them to raise their heads within the next ten years at least.

Moreover, direct disciples are not without danger.

During the competition, the sect allows the best among the inner disciples to challenge the direct disciples.

If the challenge is successful, the inner disciples may be selected as new direct disciples.

There is cooperation and competition among the disciples of Wandao Sect. Because of the atmosphere of the sect, everyone is eager for opportunities, a better master, better skills, more resources, and a higher status.

Therefore, the strongest group of people among the inner sect disciples are working hard to get a chance to leap over the dragon gate.

It would be such a shame if a direct disciple loses to an inner disciple. Master and Master will be disgraced, and their future will inevitably be bleak.

Moreover, this sect competition two and a half years later is particularly important.

Because after the sect competition two and a half years later, there will soon be a century-old challenge to the status ranking of the elders within the sect.

The sect competition will become a warm-up for the challenge between the elders...
