Spring passes and autumn comes.
The evil spirit lake produced by Longyu Island has pulled the heartstrings of many Qi refining monks.
But Fang Xi still maintains her mysterious and otaku attributes, and does not leave the island easily.
In the eyes of outsiders, with the protection of the second-level formation and foundation-building monks, Dragon Fish Island is as stable as Mount Tai.
Unknowingly, several years passed by again, and Fang Xi also passed her one hundred and thirtieth birthday quietly.
Indoor retreat.
The blue light around Fang Xi's body surged, illuminating the interior of the retreat.
Just today, the liquid mana in his body finally accumulated to 120 drops, and he practiced the 'Aoki Longevity Technique' to the limit in the middle stage of foundation building!
This is also thanks to the fact that he gave up cultivating the 'Qinghe Sword' and practicing the 'Immortality Technique', and the progress of his magic power has been accelerating in the past few years.
After the qi sea in Dantian expanded to its limit, Fang Xi naturally decided to try to break through to the later stage of foundation building!
As the cyan light continued to puff out, I don’t know how long time passed.
Sudden!
Fang Xi's expression changed slightly and she covered her dantian. It felt as if countless knives were being inserted into her dantian, and a look of pain appeared on her face.
puff!
The next moment, all his magic power spread out, and he opened his mouth to spit out a dark red blood mist.
"It failed..."
Fang Xi's face was a little pale, so she took out a second-level healing elixir from her storage bag, swallowed it, and then closed her eyes to refine it.
A few hours later, he looked better. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said helplessly: "The breakthrough to the late stage of foundation building failed. This is because I have encountered a bottleneck..."
When a monk reaches the limit of a certain realm in cultivation, he will definitely be able to break through and succeed.
Fang Xi's last successful breakthrough in the early stage of foundation building can only be said to be a coincidence and her own spiritual talent is good.
"My spiritual roots are only low-grade. Relying on the Qingmu spiritual body, I can be compared with the general high-grade spiritual roots... But even if the foundation-building monks with high-grade spiritual roots can break through to the late stage of foundation-building, they will be blocked when they encounter bottlenecks. It’s normal to be trapped.”
After all, after breaking through the late stage of foundation building, practicing to the point of perfect foundation building is just the accumulation of mana, and there are no longer any bottlenecks or checkpoints.
And how many monks in the entire Yue Kingdom have completed their foundation building and have the opportunity to form elixirs?
Even the Song family is just an ancestor of the Song family!
Fang Xi closed her eyes and looked inside, and found that she did not force a breakthrough this time, and treated her promptly after failure. The backlash caused by a failed breakthrough was not serious. If she cooperated with the healing elixir, she would be fine after a period of cultivation.
"It's just that it's a little difficult to break through the bottleneck."
Historically, when monks encountered bottlenecks when breaking through their realms, they had only a few methods.
Or swallow a pill that helps with breakthrough!
Either travel or fight, looking for opportunities for enlightenment!
In the end, it just takes time to grind it out!
"Elixirs that can help monks in the middle stage of foundation building break through to the later stage are too precious... I am currently trapped on Dragon Fish Island and cannot get them."
"Traveling and fighting are also impossible. Do we have to rely on time to polish it slowly?"
Fang Xi fell into thinking.
Now even if he continues to meditate and practice every day, he will not break the limit of one hundred and twenty drops of liquid mana. There is no way to advance his mana, and he must break through the great realm to continue to accumulate.
Basically, except for Tianpin spiritual roots, every foundation-building monk will encounter bottlenecks, and some may even be stuck like this for a lifetime.
"Fortunately...I still have a way!"
Fang Xi slowly let out a long breath: "There are no bottlenecks in the foundation-building period of Tianpin spiritual root monks, because the talent is good enough! The reason why I am trapped by the bottleneck now is because of the lack of talent... After I improve my talent, It will probably be very simple to break through to the later stage.”
In fact, he felt that his Aoki spirit body was full of vitality and helpful for healing.
According to this situation, as long as you wait until the injury is healed and try to break through a few more times, you can probably break through the bottleneck in the later stage of foundation building.
But Fang Xi has a better way!
"Within ten years, my Yimu Dharmakaya will be completed!"
"With Yimu Dharmakaya's qualifications, this bottleneck in the later stages of foundation building can be overcome directly..."
Fang Xi cast a cleaning spell on herself, and the green robe on her body suddenly took on a new look.
Thanks to the good recovery effect of Aoki's spiritual body, his complexion is now as normal, he stood up immediately and walked outside the retreat room.
Before leaving the seclusion, Fang Xi thought about it, released some of the effects of the 'Breathing Concentration Technique', and raised her cultivation level to the stage of entering the middle stage of foundation building.
After all, his retreat this time was to announce to the outside world that he would try to break through the mid-term bottleneck.
It has been more than seventy years since the capital was founded, and it has barely broken through the mid-term bottleneck. In the eyes of outsiders, it has long been hopeless for the golden elixir.
But at least it can scare some of the foundation-building robbery cultivators who are ready to move.
The news in the past few years has not been good. The news from Yan Changkong is that Baize Immortal City is in turmoil and Ouyang Zhen can't control the situation. As a result, twenty-nine disciples of the Baifeng Mountain lineage were robbed and killed by rogue cultivators when they went out. !
Wandao Lake was peaceful for a while after the Great Elder of Youyue Sect massacred Sanfentang, but it soon became turbulent again.
There are even rumors that the 'Long Family', one of the seven foundation-building families in the country, intends to move to Wandao Lake.
In such a precarious situation, Fang Xi felt that she needed to show her strength to intimidate Xiao Xiao.
"Master?!"
Outside the seclusion room, Xia Houying, Zhong Hongyu, and Yan Hongxiu, who were waiting anxiously, felt the mana fluctuations on Fang Xi's body that were more powerful than before, and their faces couldn't help but show joy: "Congratulations, sir, on your successful breakthrough!"
"Sigh... I have worked hard for more than a month and barely managed to break through to the middle stage of foundation building. If I can see the scenery of the late stage of foundation building in this life, I will have no regrets."
Fang Xi shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"The island owner bothered to break through to the middle stage of foundation building and did not rely on the help of elixirs. It can be said that the foundation is solid... If there is a chance in the future, it may not be difficult to achieve the great road." Zhong Hongyu quickly comforted.
Now she has made another breakthrough in her cultivation. She has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining and has caught up with Yan Hongxiu.
As for Xia Houying?
This woman doesn't have any obsession that she must break through, and she seems to have encountered a bottleneck. Her cultivation has been stuck at the seventh level of Qi refining, but she is not bad.
Looking at Arowana Island or even Wandao Lake, everyone can be considered a master.
"Well, that's right. It's a big day today. It's time to hold a banquet to celebrate... Let someone go to Lao Zhong's place and get some more little green dragons..."
Thinking of the delicious taste of the little green dragon, Fang Xi couldn't help but move her index finger.
At this time, Xia Houying and Yan Hongxiu looked at each other, bowed and said, "Master Qi... Zhong Qi has passed away."
"Oh? When did it happen?"
Fang Xi was slightly surprised.
"When the young master was in seclusion, he said that he was fine for the first two days and went into the water to catch fish...but suddenly he couldn't get up. He stayed on the bed for two days and passed away at the end of his life..."
Yan Hongxiu reported: "Because the young master was in seclusion at the time, we did not dare to report. Please forgive me..."
"That's all..."
Calculating his age, Lao Zhong has lived several years longer than Wei Yixi. What else can Fang Xi say?
But I finally raised fish for myself for half my life, so I said: "Let me go to his grave and ask the people around him what his last wish was. If it can be solved, let me solve it..."
…
Fish farm.
The green horned ichthyosaur, which has always been very active, is lying a little sleepily at the bottom of the lake.
Fang Xi came to the edge of the lake and saw a tomb in a reed field.
Around him, there were several fishermen who were in the early and middle stages of Qi refining and were waiting on him carefully.
One of the middle-aged fishermen at the sixth level of Qi Refining bowed and said: "To the Island Master... Mr. Zhong had no children in his life, and now he has passed away without leaving any relics..."
"impossible……"
Fang Xi shook her head. She was pretty good at dealing with her workers. She was rewarded with spirit stones every year and was occasionally allowed to take some spirit fish and rice. How could she not have an inheritance?
Could it be that... he was corrupted by these people?
Thinking of this, he looked a little dangerous.
The middle-aged fisherman was excited and knelt on the ground quickly: "Island owner, Mr. Zhong's letter is here. You will know it when you read it..."
"oh?"
Fang Xi received a stack of letters. The first few letters were still paper, yellowed and bearing the traces of ancient times.
He is very sensitive to this and knows it is not fake.
I took out one and looked at it, and I was a little surprised: "This old Zhong... actually still supports the exhibition of pictures?!"
He read Mr. Zhong's letter and found that this person had been in contact with Zhantu, and from time to time asked someone to send some spiritual objects to Zhantu for training in the Xuantian Sect.
'At first I just sent this person to send the exhibition pictures to Xuantian Sect, but I didn't expect that we would become friends...'
'It's even possible that Zhong Qi has pinned his own destiny on Zhan Tu...'
Fang Xi did not understand this kind of behavior, but it did not prevent him from expressing his admiration: "You are really an old man who has worked hard and worked hard...
…”
"Somebody come!"
He shouted softly, and the middle-aged fisherman immediately said: "The young one is here!"
"Send a letter to Xuantian Sect Zhantu and report the funeral!"
Fang Xi gave a faint instruction and then looked at the middle-aged fisherman: "What's your name?"
"I report to the Lord of the Island that little Zhong Lu is the first batch of fairy seedlings after the Lord of the Island ruled Longyu Island..."
Zhong Lu replied.
"Oh, I have a bit of an impression..."
Fang Xi answered obligingly, but after all he was a vested interest on his side, and with a sweep of his consciousness, he found that among the fishermen in the fish farm, this person had the highest cultivation level, so he said: "Then you will take over." Zhong Qi’s position is to be the manager of a fish farm..."
"Thank you to the island owner for your hard work and getting things done."
There was a hint of joy on Zhong Lu's face.
Being able to be a fish farm manager is already the highest pursuit of the male fairy seedlings of Longyu Island. After all, they are not beautiful women and cannot be selected into the Evergreen Pavilion.
Moreover, the island owner pays all the people in charge very generously. You can tell just by looking at how fat Zhong Qi is and how he can even support a sect's Qi Refining disciple.
'Hmph... I won't help outsiders. If I have to choose, I must choose my Zhong family's fairy seedlings. '
Zhong Lu secretly thought that although he was just a fish farmer, he still had more than a dozen wives in the world and gave birth to many children, so he was looking forward to having spiritual roots.
The other uncles and other monks from the three families are all like this!
