Pursuing Longevity With an Immortal Mansion

Chapter 17 Cultivation Bottleneck (Overhaul)

…

There is no time to cultivate immortality, and three years pass slowly.

Three years have passed, and Liu Yu's appearance has not changed much. He still looks like a young man.

It's just that his body looks much stronger than before.

His cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, and he has reached the sixth level of Qi refining, which is only one step away from the later stage of Qi refining.

In fact, with the support of the elixir, he had reached the perfection of the sixth level of Qi refining eight months ago.

But after encountering a bottleneck, it becomes difficult to make progress.

He had no choice but to polish his magic power and make it more pure. During this period, he hit the bottleneck several times, but all failed.

With Liu Yusan's spiritual root qualifications, it was not surprising that he encountered a bottleneck in the later stages of Qi refining, although he was a bit unlucky.

"It is said that if you have Tianlinggen qualifications, you will not have any bottlenecks if you practice until you reach the golden elixir stage."

"He is truly a proud man favored by God!"

In the cave, Liu Yu failed to attack the bottleneck again, thinking a little depressed.

With the qualifications of the Three Spiritual Roots, if you want to naturally break through the bottleneck through cultivation, you don’t know how long it will take.

But time waits for no one, and he decided that he could not go on like this and immediately started to solve the bottleneck problem.

According to the information that he has read in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion in the past, Liu Yu currently has three ways to break through the bottleneck:

The first is to stimulate breakthroughs through a life-and-death battle.

Between life and death, there is great terror!

But it can also greatly stimulate potential and increase the probability of breaking through bottlenecks.

However, not everyone can face the horror between life and death calmly, so not many monks choose this "extreme" method.

The second is to purchase the "Breaking Elixir" that breaks through the bottleneck, and use the power of the elixir to dissolve the bottleneck.

However, the "Breaking Realm Elixir" has always been in short supply. Once it appears, it will cause many monks to compete for it, and the price is often extremely high.

This amount of spiritual stone is not something that ordinary monks can afford.

The third type is to carefully polish the mana and repeatedly hit the bottleneck.

Drops of water can penetrate the stone. Over time, the magic power will become more and more pure, and maybe one day it will be successful.

It just takes a long time and is full of uncertainty.

This is the method commonly used by most monks.

After all, the realm-breaking elixir is expensive and requires at least five hundred spirit stones, which makes countless ordinary monks sigh.

The life-and-death battle is even more dangerous. If you are a little negligent, you will die before you start.

"First, go around the markets inside and outside the sect and see if you can buy the realm-breaking elixir."

In Liu Yu's heart, she still prefers the second option.

At the same time, don’t give up on polishing your magic power. Maybe one day the bottleneck will be loosened?

If both methods fail, in order to achieve immortality, Liu Yu will participate in some dangerous missions and pass the test of life and death to seek opportunities for breakthrough!

Wealth and honor can be found in danger, fortune can be gained in danger!

In the past three years, Liu Yu has mastered the art of concealment and reached the first level.

To be able to hide from the monks who are one level above you, you must be in the same realm.

He is now in the middle stage of Qi refining. Even the monks in the late stage of Qi refining cannot see through his cultivation unless the Qi refining is complete.

Using the "Hidden Spirit Technique", Liu Yu hid the fluctuations in mana and spiritual pressure.

I scanned it several times with my spiritual sense, but found it difficult to find the hidden magic aura, so I felt relieved.

Even with his spiritual consciousness, which is slightly better than those in the later stage of Qi Refining, he cannot see through the reality. Ordinary Qi Refining monks should not be able to detect it.

However, within the sect, the sixth level of Qi refining is very common, and there is no need to hide one's cultivation level.

If you want to go outside the sect, you can use a disguise method recorded in "The Essentials of Demonic Cultivation" to change your appearance.

In this way, even familiar classmates would not be able to recognize him.

After thinking for a long time, Liu Yu decided to ask Senior Sister Jiang Qiu Shuijiang to see if she had any news about the realm-breaking elixir.

This Senior Sister Jiang is good at dancing. She has a wide circle of friends in the sect and is the most well-informed among her familiar classmates.

So, after completing his daily practice, Liu Yu got up and left the cave.

After leaving the cave, he made a secret with his hands, blessed himself with the "Wind Control Technique", and jumped lightly through the mountains and forests.

In less than half an hour, they arrived in front of Jiang Qiushui Cave Mansion.

Taking out a transmission talisman from the storage bag, Liu Yu whispered a few words, gently tossed it and turned it into a ray of white light, flying into the cave.

The transmission talisman was not blocked by the restriction. Seeing this, he waited patiently.

…

"Rumble"

The stone gate slowly moved to both sides, and Jiang Qiushui closed the cave restrictions and appeared in sight.

Perhaps it was because in her cave, this woman dressed very casually.

A thin white gauze dress covered her exquisite body, and her long black hair was draped casually on her shoulders.

It may be a problem with the material of the gauze, or it may be that the cultivator's eyesight is too good. Through the thin layer of gauze, the "precipitous peaks" can be faintly seen.

In an instant, Liu Yu's eyes narrowed and he glanced up and down instinctively.

Then, he moved away as if nothing had happened, forcibly suppressing the restlessness in his heart.

Jiang Qiushui was actually quite surprised by Liu Yu's arrival.

This junior brother's performance in recent years is indeed eye-catching.

In just three years, he has improved his cultivation level by two levels, and he is also an alchemist.

It is said that it has attracted the attention of the core figures in the other courtyard.

In her heart, this woman already regarded Liu Yu as a monk with a bright future, and she did not neglect him.

"Junior Brother Liu is a rare visitor, please come in first and have a seat!"

Jiang Qiushui chuckled and led Liu Yu towards the cave.

Perhaps because she had just finished practicing, she looked a little lazy at this time, no longer as arrogant as before, and her voice was a little soft.

Liu Yu followed closely behind, looking left and right, observing the furnishings of the cave.

Neat and neat, this is the first impression.

Several pots of beautiful flowers and plants are placed in every corner of the cave, which is pleasing to the eye.

And it seemed that some incense was used, and there was a pleasant fragrance in the air.

The two came to the hall and sat opposite each other on both sides of a wooden table.

Gently stroking the few strands of hair scattered in front of her forehead and pinning them to her ears, Jiang Qiushui poured Liu Yu a cup of spiritual tea before asking about the purpose of her visit.

"To be honest, I have reached the sixth level of Qi refining."

"But because of the bottleneck, my cultivation has not improved at all for three months."

"I am interrupting you this time just because I want to ask for advice. I wonder if Senior Sister has any news about the realm-breaking elixir, or any news that is useful in breaking through the bottleneck?"

After taking a sip of the spirit tea, Liu Yu felt the fragrance lingering on her lips and teeth. She paused deliberately before speaking out the words she had prepared.

In his words, the fact that he had been stuck at the bottleneck for eight months was hidden and changed to three months.

Hearing this, Jiang Qiushui rolled her bright eyes at him and said angrily:

"The realm-breaking elixir is extremely rare, and those on the sect's redemption list have already been redeemed."

After a pause, the woman patiently explained:

"As soon as this kind of elixir is refined, most of it has been reserved by well-connected colleagues."

"If there was any news about the realm-breaking elixir, senior sister would have purchased it herself, and she wouldn't have been stuck for two years. I won't get you any time soon!"

"On the exchange list, there are still some pills with a level-breaking effect that is slightly equal to none, but I don't recommend that I exchange them."

"Those pills are just a waste of the sect's contribution points, and they do little to help break through the bottleneck."

Sect contribution points are a special currency of Yuanyang Sect and have many uses within the sect.

For example, you can exchange for treasures on the sect exchange list.

The sect's exchange list contains many magical weapons, elixirs, etc. that are difficult to find in the outside world, and even foundation-building pills, which can only be exchanged with the sect's contribution.

However, it is worth mentioning that sect contributions can be obtained through tasks or traded with other disciples using spiritual stones.

Of course, there will be some restrictions when exchanging some strategic resources, and they need to be reviewed before they can be exchanged.

"Sister, don't worry, I know the pros and cons."

Liu Yu nodded, but felt a little disappointed in his heart. He still underestimated the scarcity of realm-breaking elixirs.

I didn't get any useful information from Jiang Qiushui. Several other familiar classmates were not as advanced as she was, so it was probably in vain to ask.

I had to think of another way and take a long-term approach.

Thinking about this, Liu Yu's interest dropped greatly and he didn't want to stay for a long time.

After reluctantly chatting with Jiang Qiushui for a while, Liu Yu drank the cup of spiritual tea in one gulp and praised loudly:

“Good tea!”

"This tea is indeed good. Senior sister's tea-making skills are even better."

“It leaves a lasting fragrance on the lips and teeth and is endlessly memorable.”

"It's just that today, junior brother has important matters to attend to and cannot stay for long."

"Come back to Senior Sister's place next time to taste the spiritual tea. Farewell!"

After speaking, Liu Yu stood up, cupped her hands, and left.

"snort!"

Jiang Qiu Shui snorted, looking a little dissatisfied, but did not make a sound to persuade him to stay.

How could she not understand what this junior brother meant?
