After dinner, Jin Xiu was sent to school first, and after a reluctant farewell to the mother and daughter, Jin Cheng drove his parents back to Sanlian Village, and then went to Gangtou Village by himself. They came and went, and they didn't return to the clinic until after eleven o'clock at night.

Seeing that it was getting closer and closer to twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Jin Cheng's mood was a little excited, he had stayed at the fifth level of qi refining for more than a month, and he was finally about to break through today.

In this world, there is nothing more refreshing than cultivating and upgrading, not to mention that this upgrade is of great significance.

The sixth level of qi refining can be said to be a watershed, before the sixth level of qi refining, cultivators do not have much advantage compared with martial artists. However, when you reach level six, you can study some skills that are unique to cultivation.

For example: charms, formations.

In the cultivation realm, most monks focus on cultivating the exercises and are rarely distracted by other skills, but there are also some who specialize in a certain skill, such as a charmer, a formation mage, an alchemist, a refiner, and so on.

This kind of cultivator usually cultivates, but their time is broken into two, and they are not enough at all, and relatively speaking, they are a little behind in cultivation.

The reason why some people are keen on these professions is because the high-level monks of these professions have a very high status in the cultivation world, and any major sect needs such monks, and even treats them as guests, especially alchemists.

Pills are consumables, and any monk is indispensable, especially when impacting the bottleneck or crossing the tribulation, there is a world of difference between the pill and the pill.

Moreover, the consumption of pills is fast, and the amount of alchemists required is huge, but the number of alchemists is very small, because the conditions for becoming an alchemist are harsh, and the cost of cultivation is also huge, which also leads to the transcendent status of alchemists in the cultivation realm.

Under the alchemist, the refiner is more popular, the reason is very simple and clear, every monk needs a magic weapon, often a monk has multiple magic weapons, there are offensive magic weapons, there are defensive magic weapons, a powerful magic weapon can improve the monk's combat effectiveness, and even help him kill people beyond the level. In addition, there is a huge market for magic weapons like space and flight, so refiners are generally relatively wealthy.

The more advanced the magic weapon, the more it tests the level of the refiner, the senior refiner and the senior alchemist belong to the object of the various sects in the cultivation realm, it is easier for them to obtain resources, and in turn, they use resources for cultivation, and their cultivation will naturally go up.

And the array mage should not be underestimated, to put it mildly, every sect needs a large array to protect the mountain, and every large area needs to set up a large teleportation array, which is indispensable to the efforts of the array mage.

To put it mildly, some small formations can assist in battles and gather aura, this kind of formation is simple but very practical, and it is exactly the goal that Jin Cheng is aiming at.

In today's world, as long as you can cultivate a first-level array mage, it is a very good being, and as for the higher realm, Jin Cheng has not considered it for the time being.

He was not interested in the study of spells, and only wanted to dabble in the initial situation, make a few offensive spells, and add some offensive means.

And learning formations and charms requires some materials, and when Jin Cheng plans to go to the provincial capital tomorrow, he will go to the street to look for them.

The materials required for the formation are simple, as long as the jade is fine, but the quality of the jade is very high, and the quantity is also very large, any simple formation is more than a dozen pieces of jade, this is definitely a money-burning game, Jin Cheng said.

The charm is the opposite, its material is very cheap, yellow table paper, cinnabar, and a wolf hao brush can be used, if you use the hair of the monster to make the pen, the effect is better, but how difficult it is to find the hair of the monster!

Just when Jin Cheng was thinking wildly, he felt that Zhong Dantian had gained about forty points of merit, and he understood that twelve o'clock had arrived.

Jin Cheng refined these merit points and generated the source aura, and stored these auras in the lower dantian. The dantian, which was already bulging, became extremely inflated, and as the last trace of spiritual energy entered the dantian, a crisp sound came from his mind, and the sound was like a heavenly sound.

Then a feeling of comfort all over the body filled the whole body, from head to toe, every inch of flesh and blood was being baptized by the origin aura, and the level of refining the body was automatically raised to the late stage of dark energy.

Feeling that the three dantians were different and expanded several times, Jin Cheng's heart was filled with joy.

The joy is that the reserve of aura has increased, and the strength of the body has increased again, simply put, the strength has increased greatly.

I am worried that it will take 5,600 merit points to upgrade in the future, which has increased by four times, and if this multiple increases, the merit points required for upgrading in the future will be astronomical and mathematical, and I feel my scalp tingle when I think about it.

According to the calculation that he now harvests forty merit points every day, it will take more than four months to complete six liters and seven, and if one qiēshun lì is enough, he will be able to break through again at the end of the year and enter the late stage of qi refining.

He is now especially looking forward to entering the late stage of Qi refining as soon as possible, full of curiosity and yearning for those magical spells, and even fantasizing about the invincible scene of his sword killing the enemy.

Feeling the impetuousness in his heart, Jin Cheng immediately became vigilant, restrained his thoughts, abandoned distracting thoughts, and gradually entered a state of selfless cultivation.

……

On the last day of August, Jin Cheng finished his day's diagnosis and treatment early and drove to Hanlin Town.

After lunch, under Ai Manping's instructions, Jin Cheng drove Lan Xiaoling and set off.

"Jin Cheng, I'll doze off after eating, I'll squint for a while." Lan Xiaoling yawned and said lazily.

"You sleep, it's more than two hours by car, it's still early, I'll call you when you get to the place." Jin Cheng reached out and touched Lan Xiaoling's slightly trimmed short hair. Her original wig had been officially laid off the day before yesterday and was collected by her as a souvenir.

"Hate it, drive well, don't touch my hair again." Lan Xiaoling shook Jin Cheng's hand away and said angrily.

"Okay, don't touch it, Xiaoling, will you come back next weekend?" Jin Cheng said with a smile.

"I'm not coming back, I usually come back once every two weeks when Lu Yuan is far away, is there anything wrong?" Lan Xiaoling put the back of the seat flat to make her body lie more comfortable.

"It's nothing, then I'll pick you up next Friday afternoon, my sister is going to the county No. 1 middle school this semester to study in the first year of high school, the rural people are a little old-fashioned, when you come back, we will accompany her to buy some clothes." Jin Cheng said.

"No problem, next time I come back, I just want to buy autumn clothes, I'm going to buy them too, you just have the money ready, and you will change your outfit by the way." Speaking of buying clothes, Lan Xiaoling's drowsiness disappeared immediately, and she said energetically.

"It's all up to you."

Not long after Jin Cheng finished speaking, Lan Xiaoling fell asleep sweetly, and seemed to be dreaming, giggling out loud in the dream.
