At three o'clock, the platinum star in the east overwhelmed the light of the other stars, and the cold starlight fell from the sky to guide the traveler who was lost.

At dawn, the 'Lotus Mountain' is particularly quiet, with the cries of insects, frogs and night owls one after another, like a symphony of nature!

The people of the town are still enjoying the most hearty sleep in early summer, and on another level they don't know, the slightest aura seems to be guided to swim in a certain direction.

If there were monks nearby, they would be able to sense that the aura within a radius of several miles was converging towards the same location, and in the era of the end of the Dharma when the aura was thin, only a high-grade 'Spirit Gathering Array' could form such a spectacular 'Aura Tide'!

The core location of the 'Aura Tide' is the 'Alchemy Room' in the backyard of the Ge family's old mansion, and the gathered Aura is poured into the room like a funnel, almost 'turning into mist'!

Ge Tao sat cross-legged on the cold jade futon, his face changing various colors from time to time, this was the external manifestation of the five elements aura running wildly in the meridians in his body, his distorted face and clenched teeth, indicating that he was experiencing the impact of pain into the bone marrow!

The 'Five Elements Spirit Body' made Ge Tao's physical strength much higher than that of ordinary monks, but the strong physical body made him need more strength and endure greater pain when he broke through.

When ordinary monks open up the meridians, the true qi is like traveling through the soil, but Ge Tao is like opening up granite, and the difficulty can be imagined!

Unlike the exercises practiced by ordinary monks, Ge Tao's cultivation of the 'Five Elements Spiritual Technique' required him to transform his attributeless spiritual energy into the Five Elements Spiritual Qi, and the amount of spiritual energy required was more than five times that of other people!

Otherwise, with Ge Tao's extravagant cultivation skills, he would not have been able to touch the bottleneck from the 'second layer of qi training' to the 'third layer of qi training' in almost three months, and the resources consumed can be imagined.

Today, in addition to the valuable mutton fat white jade, the 'Spirit Gathering Array' arranged by Ge Tao also added 9 lower-grade spirit stones, and the concentration in the entire secret room has reached the maximum level he can bear!

In such a strong tide of spiritual energy, Ge Tao kept his mind tightly, and according to the method of the 'Five Elements Spiritual Formula', the true qi flowed in the meridians in his body, and the 'Five Elements Beads of Mountains and Rivers' in the sea of knowledge devoured the spiritual energy poured into the Heavenly Spirit Acupoint, transformed into the Five Elements Spiritual Qi, and injected into Ge Tao's meridians!

After a long time, as if it had pierced the window paper, the true qi in the body frantically rushed from the 'Zutai Yin and Spleen Sutra' to the 'Hand Shao Yin Heart Sutra' and opened up the 'Hand Sun Small Intestine Sutra'!

Ge Tao, who had opened up the six meridians in his body, finally stepped from the 'second layer of qi training' to the 'third layer of qi training', and was getting closer and closer in the direction of 'middle stage of qi training'!

Ge Tao, who had successfully broken through, was not in a hurry to end his cultivation, he breathed a sigh of relief, deliberately controlled the speed of the true qi in his body, and consolidated the cultivation of the 'three layers of qi training'.

Ge Tao knows that the 'Qi Cultivation Period' is the foundation of his cultivation career, and he would rather walk a little slower at every step than be more down-to-earth, and every detail will not be perfunctory!

The six meridians in the body are opened up in turn, which means that Ge Tao has formed a small circulation of true qi running in his body, so that not only the total amount of true qi is doubled, but also can be endless, and he will not worry about the depletion of true qi in a short period of time.

When he was practicing the second layer of qi, Ge Tao could only send out 5 giant fireballs to run out of true qi, and now Ge Tao can send out at least 10 giant fireballs and will not fall into weakness, Ge Tao's combat power has taken a leap!

The continuous improvement of his strength undoubtedly gives Ge Tao more confidence, and he will not be afraid in the cultivation realm!

…………

When the first rays of sunlight appeared on the horizon, the innate purple qi that broke through the sky was inhaled by Ge Tao, and after being refined through the buffer of the 'Mountains and Rivers Five Elements Bead', it was used to refine the flesh body.

Ordinary low-level cultivators can't directly absorb the innate purple qi and the sun true fire to cultivate, because its power is too pure, too strong, and the slightest carelessness may lead to self-immolation, not everyone is like Ge Tao, there are supreme treasures like the 'Mountains and Rivers Five Elements Bead' to help absorb and refine the innate purple qi.

Feeling the hot energy rolling in his body, and the 36,000 pores of his body were full of comfort, Ge Tao's cultivation was finally over.

Slowly exhaling a breath, Ge Tao looked at the jade crumbs scattered in the room and the remnants of the spirit stones that had no spiritual energy fluctuations, and could only secretly sigh at the luxury of cultivation!

The power of the 'Five Elements Spirit Technique' is extremely powerful, and the progress is not slow, but the consumption of cultivation resources is also quite amazing, and the top-grade mutton fat white jade and nine spirit stones worth tens of millions of RMB are scrapped, which only helps Ge Tao break through the bottleneck between the second and third layers; if he is replaced by an ordinary monk, such resources can even allow him to break through to the peak of the third layer in one go.

Ignoring the dirt on his body, Ge Tao first moved his body in the yard and played a set of 'Five Elements Swimming Dragon Palm', gradually adapting to the changes in his body and strength!

Every time he breaks through, Ge Tao's body will become stronger, and his strength will go up to a higher level, if he doesn't adapt to one or two, it is easy to break the doorknob and faucet, and crush the cup!

It has been four years since Ge Tao started cultivating, and he has long been accustomed to this situation, and he is also familiar with dealing with it.

I saw him dodging and moving in the courtyard like a swimming dragon, and the whistling palm wind and the whip legs that broke through the air made people feel a strong force rushing towards them.

In the end, the picture changed abruptly, and Ge Tao changed to a slow Tai Chi boxing, switching freely between movement and static, which means that Ge Tao completely controlled the power of the new growth after the breakthrough.

…………

Coming out of the bathroom refreshed, Ge Tao found that the world had become clearer, even if he was not calm, he could clearly see the veins on the leaves dozens of meters away, could hear the murmur of insects in the soil, and could feel all kinds of smells around him, as if the whole person's facial features and six senses had been greatly changed!

This is the power of cultivation, with the improvement of cultivation, the whole person will evolve in the direction of 'superman', maybe after the 'foundation building period', the whole person will break away from the category of mortals and become another form of life existence!

After working hard for half a month, he finally broke through the bottleneck of the 'second layer of qi training' and became a monk of the 'third layer of qi training', this kind of progress is undoubtedly the biggest reward for Ge Tao.

Now Ge Tao has been addicted to the pleasure brought by cultivation and cannot extricate himself, which may be an important reason why many high-level monks often retreat for a year and a half, or even dozens or hundreds of years.

For the monks, time has long lost its meaning, and they are willing to endure loneliness, boredom and loneliness for the sake of a longer life and greater strength!
