In the process of practicing, Li Fei gradually found that his progress was getting slower and slower, as if he had encountered invisible obstacles. His puzzled eyes flickered in front of the old man. The old man looked at his deep eyes and was silent for a long time. ...
"Xiao Fei, your current situation is a bottleneck that every cultivator will encounter."
The old man's voice was low and long, as if it came from distant ancient times. He said: "Xiao Fei, this kind of bottleneck will hinder your cultivation progress. If you can't break through, your cultivation will stay at this stage forever and you will be unable to progress." There is no improvement. What’s more serious is that long-term stagnation may cause your cultivation to rebound, and even damage your foundation, making you unable to practice again.”
He paused and continued: "To break through this bottleneck, you need a magical herb called 'Lingxi grass'. This herb grows deep in the extremely dangerous Warcraft Forest, and it is only available on the winter solstice every year. It will blossom and bear fruit. The process of searching for the Rhinoceros Herb is full of dangers. You need to face attacks from monsters, and may also encounter competition from other monks. However, for you, this is a good opportunity to break through the bottleneck of cultivation, and not only Breaking through obstacles will also increase your cultivation."
Li Fei was filled with doubts and surprise after hearing what the old man said.
"I have never heard of this magical herb. Does it really exist?" he asked the old man.
The old man nodded, his tone full of affirmation.
"Lingxi grass is an extremely mysterious herb. Its growth environment is extremely special. It can only be found in the depths of the Warcraft Forest. Moreover, this herb will only bloom and bear fruit on the winter solstice every year. Although looking for Lingxi grass Grass is full of dangers, but for you, this is a good opportunity to practice."
Li Fei took a deep look at the old man and finally made up his mind. "I understand, I will go with you to look for the Rhinoceros."
The old man and Li Fei began their journey. They crossed the single-plank bridge, crossed the turbulent river, and finally arrived at the edge of the Magical Beast Forest a few days later.
The moment they stepped into the forest, a heavy pressure immediately enveloped them. This pressure seemed to be tangible, making every step they took extremely difficult.
This is the threat from Warcraft, these creatures living deep in the forest, their existence is enough to make people fearful. At the same time, this pressure also comes from the unknown fear deep in the forest, which is full of unknowns and dangers.
The forest is a world full of life. The trees are tall and dense, and the sunlight can only cast mottled light and shadow through the gaps in the treetops.
The air is filled with the smell of soil and plants, and occasionally the low roars of monsters can be heard. This is completely different from their previous village. The village is a human world, but here is the kingdom of nature.
Both the old man and Li Fei felt the pressure, but their reactions were quite different. The old man's face was solemn, and his eyes were full of firmness and determination. He knew that this was a challenge they must face.
Li Fei, on the other hand, seemed a little nervous. He held the sword in his hand tightly. He knew that he could not let his fear affect him. He had to be strong, for the old man's sake and for his own sake.
They took a deep breath, and then they took steps into the depths of the forest.
In this deep forest, the footsteps of the old man and Li Fei suddenly stopped. A huge bear monster appeared in front of them.
Its brown hair shines fiercely in the moonlight, and its body muscles are as strong as iron, making people feel extremely oppressive.
Its eyes are like two blood-red gems, cunning and ferocious, as if it can see through everything. The monster opened its big mouth, revealing the dense white bones, its fangs were extremely sharp, and a coldness hit people's hearts. Its roar echoed through the forest like thunder, causing leaves to fall.
The old man frowned and stood in front of Li Fei without hesitation. He took a deep breath, adjusting his breathing to blend with the scent of the forest.
His hands quickly drew complex spells in the air, each movement precise, as if performing a silent dance. As the number of spells in his hand increased, the energy in the air became stronger and stronger.
Suddenly, the old man thrust his hands forward, and a bright wall of light formed in front of them. The light wall acts like a mirror, reflecting everything around it. The bear monster's attack was instantly ineffective on this wall of light, and only caused a ripple on the wall of light.
However, the bear monster is so powerful that it breaks through the light wall created by the old man with one blow. The huge impact was like an invisible giant hammer, slamming the old man away.
The old man's body drew a long arc in the air like a shooting star, and then fell heavily to the ground. He spat out mouthfuls of blood, his face instantly turned pale as paper, and a trace of pain and helplessness flashed in his eyes.
When Li Fei saw this scene, his heart was as sharp as a knife.
At this time, the bear monster did not continue to attack them. Instead, it kept roaring and waving its claws on the spot. It was obviously embarrassed by the wall of light just now.
There are still some residual lights flickering around its body, which is because the energy of the light wall has not been completely dissipated. The bear's eyes were full of anger and fear. It no longer dared to approach the old man and Li Fei easily, but kept retreating, and finally disappeared into the depths of the forest.
Li Fei suppressed his fear and quickly found an herbal medicine called "Healing Grass" according to the old man's previous instructions.
This herb has green leaves with silvery white lines on the leaves, exuding a cool breath.
Li Fei picked some healing herbs and hurried back to the old man's side. He carefully ground the herbs into a paste and applied it to the old man's wounds. The effect of this herb soon came into play, and the old man's face began to slowly return to ruddy color, and his breathing calmed down.
Seeing that the old man's condition had improved, Li Fei breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the old man, his eyes flashing with worry and concern, and his voice was trembling, and he said, "Master, how are you?"
The old man coughed, raised his head slightly, and looked at Li Fei, his eyes shining with kindness and relief. He said in a weak but firm voice: "Fei'er, don't worry about me, this little injury is nothing. You did a good job, I'm very proud."
Li Fei's eyes turned red when he heard this. He held the old man's hand and his voice choked with sobs: "Master, I'm afraid... I'm afraid of you..."
The old man held Li Fei's hand tightly and said with a smile: "Fei'er, you are my best student. I believe you will be strong. I will get better, you have to believe me."
This conversation made Li Fei strengthen his belief, and he decided to work harder, in order to protect his master and to make himself stronger.
