Yunxiao Mountains, Black Wind Valley
Standing on Yunxiao Mountain, looking to the southeast, a hundred miles away, there is a valley, ten miles long and no more than twenty or thirty feet wide, like a giant black dragon, lurking in the mountains.
This is Black Wind Valley, one of the core areas of the sect.
The Yunxiao Mountain Range has continuous mountains and a vast territory with hundreds of bizarre places. Most of them were nourished by the earth's veins and grew naturally; but many of them were the powerful seniors of the sect who migrated from other places with supreme magical power.
Black Wind Valley is such a place. It was moved here from today's Chongzhou by a true god who transformed into a god five thousand years ago. It took him half a year.
Continuing to this day, this place has become a place of fascination for countless qi-training monks in the Xu Kingdom.
Because Black Wind Valley is the best place to help Qi practicing monks break through the realm.
There are two important hurdles for Qi training monks, namely from the early stage to the middle stage of Qi training, and from the middle stage to the late stage of Qi training. If you want to break through these two barriers, you must either nourish yourself with spiritual energy every day, which takes more than several years; or you can take barrier-breaking pills, which is very fast, but almost eliminates the possibility of advancing to foundation building.
The one who can take into account both speed and safety is breaking through in Black Wind Valley.
Strong winds blow in this place half the time every year, and the aura in the valley is extremely violent at this time. For ordinary Qi-training monks, it is naturally not a good place to practice, but for monks who need to break through the barrier, this kind of violent spiritual energy is the biggest help to break through the barrier.
Of course, if there is only violent spiritual energy, it is no different from the barrier-breaking pill. However, in Black Wind Valley, there is another spiritual object of heaven and earth called Yuancixuan Stone.
This kind of black stone emits a large amount of magnetic force into the valley every moment, but it is the best thing to restore the meridians in the early stage of injury.
The combination of the two allows the monk to break through the realm quickly while minimizing the damage to the meridians.
What qi cultivator wouldn't yearn for such a wonderful place?
It's just that such a place cannot be entered by spending spiritual stones.
If you are a sect disciple, you need to pay 50 contribution points to advance to the middle stage of Qi training here; to advance to the late stage of Qi training, you need to pay 300 contribution points.
Inner disciples can also get a half discount.
And if you are a family cultivator or a casual cultivator, the cost is 500 and 3,000 contribution points respectively!
Ten times the effort!
How many casual cultivators can accumulate so many contribution points? How many families are willing to pay this fee to those young monks with ordinary qualifications?
If you don't join the sect, the road will be difficult. This is the reality of Xu's world of immortality.
…
At this time in the Black Wind Valley, in a wind pavilion a hundred feet deep at the entrance of the valley, a fifteen or sixteen year old boy was sitting cross-legged and meditating, with his eyes closed in concentration.
This young man was dressed in a yellow outer sect disciple's clothing, with green dust-free shoes, fair skin, delicate features, and a faint smile on his face.
It was Yang Zhen.
It has been five days since he came to this valley.
This is his third year entering Yunxiao Academy. In the spring of this year, he had reached the third level of Qi training. After settling for half a year, he finally began to hit the middle stage of Qi training.
His cultivation progress is at the middle to lower level among apprentices of the same generation. However, compared to the last place in cultivation when he entered the sect, it is already a big improvement.
Now, the eight meridians of the wood and water systems in his body have expanded to four times their original size, and the spiritual energy stored in his Dantian has reached 1,300 strands, which is not inferior to those of monks at the fifth level of Qi training.
There are many such wind pavilions in Black Wind Valley, among which Zhao Ying is sitting on the opposite mountainside less than a hundred feet away from him.
Since he rejected Lu Zhi's invitation in the early spring of last year, Zhao Ying has not pestered him again. Earlier this year, when the girl returned to Xuyang to celebrate the New Year, when she saw Yang Zhen, she saluted calmly and never seemed to hint that the two were engaged in dual cultivation.
Yang Zhen was so happy.
Behind him, four or five miles deeper into the valley, the spiritual energy there was even more violent, and the power of the magnetism was also stronger.
There are hundreds of similar wind pavilions built there as the place for breakthrough in the middle and later stages of Qi training.
Zhao Yue'er is currently in one of the wind pavilions. She and Yang Zhen entered Black Wind Valley at the same time, but it would take at least a month to reach the late stage of Qi training, so it was far from the end.
And Yang Zhen is very close to the middle stage of Qi training!
…
Yang Zhen was running the [Yunxiao Qi Movement Technique], and at the same time looking inside herself, she saw a large amount of spiritual energy washing away the barrier at the Yumen Pass, near the eight meridians.
This barrier seemed like a piece of jade bone. Every time these violent and fierce spiritual energy washed away, pieces of debris were scraped off the jade bone, which soon turned into smoke and was expelled from the body along with the spiritual energy.
Every time a chip peels off, it brings an unbearable pain to the body, like someone is scraping his own bones with a knife. Not only is it painful, it will also shock the whole body, especially the eight broken meridians, which will cause a bulging and uncomfortable feeling along with the shock.
And at this moment, a little starlight shone on the jade bone, instantly wiping away the pain, as if someone had performed a healing technique, giving him a tingling comfort.
This is the power of metamagnetism.
Yang Zhen has been in such pain and happiness for five days and nights.
Just when another piece of debris was scraped off, a hole suddenly appeared in the jade bone!
The barrier is broken!
Yang Zhen was overjoyed and continued to use her magic power to guide the spiritual energy to attack the hole.
The hole gradually expanded, eventually blowing the entire barrier clean.
Behind the barrier is a brand new world!
Yang Zhen has already stepped into the middle stage of Qi training with one foot!
He slowly put away all his magic power, opened his eyes, and showed a satisfied smile on his face.
Yuan Ci continued to repair his whole body. After a day and night, he regrouped and began to guide these spiritual energies to impact the five meridians of the [earth] veins!
In Black Wind Valley, with the help of the spiritual energy here, a meridian can be opened in one day, which can save several days of practice time!
Five days later, all five of Yang Zhen's meridians were broken.
He has officially entered the middle stage of Qi training!
Entering the middle stage of Qi training is of great significance to a monk.
Because from this moment on, the monk has spiritual consciousness and can see his surroundings clearly even if he closes his eyes.
A mortal, no matter how high his martial arts skills are, can even defeat a late-stage qi-training monk, he will never be able to do this.
The difference between immortals and mortals truly begins here.
With divine consciousness, it is possible for Yang Zhen's alchemy skills to be further improved. The refining of high-level elixirs all involves the use of divine consciousness.
At the same time, the same goes for refining weapons, making talismans, etc.
There are also a large number of spells that are impossible to learn without spiritual awareness.
Yang Zhen stood up and couldn't help but roar!
My heart is extremely happy!
