The ascension of a cultivator's realm is never an easy thing, and every small progress has to pay an extremely high price.

Even if you want to improve a small realm, you have to carefully prepare a lot of precious auxiliary items in advance, such as pills, and then you have to carefully choose the retreat location, the richer the aura, the more hidden the location, the greater the grasp, and the safer it is.

Finally, it is more important to find a suitable candidate in advance to protect the Dharma for yourself.

The world of practitioners is not peaceful and peaceful. Chivalry violates the prohibition with martial arts, and the powerful cultivators have a more taboo-free style than ordinary people, and it is a common thing to kill people and seize treasures.

The time of the retreat breakthrough is also the time when a practitioner is most vulnerable.

At this time, the slightest disturbance from the outside world may cause cultivators who have focused all their energy on the dangerous breakthrough to go mad, explode and die, and at the very least, they will suffer great damage in their cultivation.

Therefore, at this time, it is very important to have a few powerful close friends to protect the Dharma for themselves. Even if you encounter someone with bad intentions who wants to take advantage of the fire, you can leave it to your companions to deal with it, and concentrate on making a breakthrough yourself.

Compared to other cultivators who needed to rely on their own strength and make breakthroughs with difficulty, Lu You could be said to be very lucky.

Because of the promise of General Du, his breakthrough was almost equivalent to being single-handedly handled by the Divine Beast Legion.

The background of a superpower like the Great Xia Kingdom is definitely not comparable to other ordinary cultivators, so Lu You doesn't need to prepare anything at all, because everything to prepare, Du Shenjiang has already prepared for him.

However, despite this, despite everything, someone has already prepared for him to stop, but Lu You is still very busy today.

Upgrading from Jindan to Yuanying is not as simple as simply improving the realm, and there is still a lot of preparation to be done. First and foremost, it is important to choose the location of the cave for retreat.

There is no need for him to worry about this, because Du Shenjiang has already chosen for him in advance.

And to choose the location of the cave, the next thing to do is to set up a spirit gathering array, gather the surrounding aura, and gather all the auras in the cave to increase the concentration of aura in the cave.

Of course, before that, it was necessary to open up a cave suitable for retreat.

An ascension of the realm, especially like Lu You, from Jindan to Yuanying, the ascension of the great realm, no one knows.

It is possible to have a short period of three or five days, or a long period of three or five months, and during this period, day and night change, wind and rain. Although ordinary wind and rain do not pose a threat to cultivators at all, it is still necessary to find a cave that can shelter oneself from the wind and rain.

On Qingtian Peak, there is no natural cave that can shelter from the wind and rain, which requires Lu You to open it up by himself.

……

The next day, when it was still early, I breathed a little for a while, and the aura consumed by the fierce battle with the Shura people last night was all replenished, and Lu You, Du Shenjiang, and Mu Yucheng began to get busy.

Du Shenjiang and Mu Yucheng will set up a large array of spirit gatherings around Qingtian Peak, and gather all the surrounding spiritual energy to Qingtian Peak.

And Lu You, although he doesn't know how to set up formations, he can't be idle, he must be on the Qingtian Peak, open up a suitable cave for his retreat.

And just one is not enough, it must also be for Du Shenjiang and Mu Yucheng, each of whom is opening up a place to stay.

Of course, this place of accommodation does not need to be as complicated as Lu You's own cave, only a small cave is needed to avoid being invaded by wind and rain.

Opening up the cave mansion is not a difficult task for cultivators, especially cultivators in the realm of Lu You.

Although the aura is rich in this immortal ruin, far exceeding the Great Xia Kingdom outside, but Qingtian Peak is not a special place, and the rocks at the top of the peak are just ordinary mountain rocks, and using a flying sword to cut it is as if you are chopping melons and vegetables.

Despite this, Lu You is also tired enough.

After all, even if it is chopping vegetables, it is not easy to fill three houses.

However, despite this, after a whole morning of busy work, under the hard work of Lu You, the three caves with hidden locations and peculiar structures, which are connected to each other and each other, and actually have hidden escape passages, are still completed.

If it is a solitary practitioner, after digging the cave, it will often be carefully camouflaged, and the excavated stone will fill the entire cave entrance, leaving only a small opening large enough for one person to enter and exit.

However, Lu You, because there are two strong protectors, Du Shenjiang and Mu Yucheng, there is no need to do any more disguise.

……

The construction of the three caves had just been completed, and before Lu You could take a break, he saw two black shadows shooting from a distance.

Du Shenjiang, who arranged the Spirit Gathering Array around, and Mu Yucheng, the two of them, have also returned.

"Your Excellency. ”

"Commander Mu. ”

Seeing the two of them coming back, Lu You hurriedly stepped forward and said to them very enthusiastically, "Are you done with your work?"

"yes, it's done. ”

Tilting his head to look at Lu You, Mu Yucheng said with a smile: "It's not done, how dare we come back?"

"Hey, hey. ”

Seeing Mu Yucheng's expression, Lu You also scratched his head and smirked a little embarrassed.

"Don't laugh, stinky boy. ”

Jumping down from the lightning purple wing eagle and coming to Lu You and Mu Yucheng, Du Shenjiang looked at Lu You, and with a flip of his wrist, the transparent spar that was outside the valley yesterday appeared in the palm of his hand.

Holding the transparent spar in his hand, Du Shenjiang said with a solemn expression: "This formation crystal, as long as I inlay it in the position of the foot of the formation, this Spirit Gathering Array will be officially activated, and you will officially start the retreat." ”

"Before that, I would like to remind you again, from Jindan to Yuanying, it seems that there is only one realm of ascension, but it is much more dangerous than the ascension of other realms. ”

"As the saying goes, if you want to be promoted from Jindan to Yuanying, you must first completely break the Jindan condensed by yourself, re-disperse it to all parts of your body, and then use your great magic power to re-condense it, and take the opportunity to go further, and refine the broken Jindan into a Yuanying that can continue to grow. ”

"This shattered and condensed, full of dangers, murderous opportunities, and danger, people who have not experienced it will not know. ”

The expression on his face became more solemn, Du Shenjiang looked at Lu You, and said in a solemn tone: "Boy, remember, if you can't catch it, don't force a breakthrough, the most important thing is to protect yourself, as long as you are there, there will be opportunities, understand?"

"Yes, Lord God!"

Very moved by General Du's concern for him, Lu You nodded, and said with a serious expression: "Don't worry, I understand." ”

"Good. ”

Nodding, Du Shenjiang stopped talking nonsense, and with a wave of his right hand, he directly flicked the formation crystal in his hand into a big stone that had already been placed in Qingtian Peak.

Rumble!

As the formation spar stone was smoothly embedded into the big stone, between heaven and earth, it suddenly shook violently.

And immediately after, a huge stream of spiritual qi gathered from all directions of the Heavenly Peak, converging on the big stone that was the base of the formation, and then under its guidance, it rushed towards the cave mansion built by Lu You.

The small cave was quickly filled with a rich aura, and it became foggy like a fog.

"That's it!"

Seeing the scene in the cave, Lu You was slightly surprised, but Du Shenjiang and Mu Yucheng were already surprised. Turning his head to look at Lu You, Du Shenjiang said lightly:

"Don't be surprised, Jin Dan Transformation Yuan Baby, no more than before, you cultivated from the Transformation Realm to the promotion of Jin Dan, one shatter and one condensation, it takes a lot of mind and energy, without the assistance of the Spirit Gathering Array, it is impossible to succeed. ”

"Okay, now that the cave has been completed, the spirit gathering array has been opened, and the aura has begun to gather, it can start now. ”

Stretched out his hand and pointed to the side of Lu You's formation, Du Shenjiang said to him: "You don't need to worry about safety, there is me and Commander Mu, who will protect the Dharma for you from the side, ordinary small fish and shrimp still can't threaten you." ”

"You just have to remember what I've been telling you for the past few days, be careful, it shouldn't be a big problem to advance. ”

"Yes. ”

Lu You was very grateful for General Du's guidance in the past few days, so he said to him very respectfully: "My subordinates will go in." ”

"Well, go ahead. ”

Nodding, Du Shenjiang said lightly.

"Sister Mu. ”

Turning his head and walking towards the cave, he just walked to the door, and when he saw Mu Yucheng's worried eyes, Lu You smiled at her slightly, and said with an indifferent face: "Don't you want this expression, don't worry, I will definitely be successfully promoted." ”

raised his arm, wanting to give Mu Yucheng a hug, but seeing Du Shenjiang standing not far away, Lu You finally held back this thought, just waved his hand at her, walked into the cave with a smile, and then sat down cross-legged on the futon.

"Lord God!"

Watching Lu You walk into the cave with a worried face, Mu Yucheng couldn't help but come to Du Shenjiang's side, and said to him very worriedly: "You said that Lu You won't be in any danger this time, right?"

"Hehe, what danger can it be?"

Shaking his head with a smile, as if he was comforting Mu Yucheng, and as if he was convincing himself, Du Shenjiang said in a relaxed tone:

"Although it is said that the broken pill turns into a baby, there are many dangers, and if you are not careful, you will explode and die, and your soul will be destroyed, but Lu You is not an ordinary cultivator after all, and some of the secrets hidden in his body are incredible to me, and he will definitely be fine. ”

"Besides, isn't there still the two of us to protect the Fa for him? once there is any accident, we will go all out, not to mention helping him break through smoothly, at the very least, there is no problem in saving his life, so you don't have to worry about Commander Mu. ”

"Really?"

Hearing Du Shenjiang's words, although Mu Yucheng was still apprehensive, she tried her best to convince herself to believe Du Shenjiang's words, she nodded, and said with a serious expression: "Lord Shenjiang is right, Lu You will definitely be fine." ”
