Li Yi had a relieved smile on his face, he had gained a lot of results from his penance for many days, but this was far from enough.

Although he has practiced one breath and ten slashes, for "One Hundred Slashing Sword Technique", it can only be regarded as just stepping into the threshold, not even Xiaocheng, if you want to achieve Xiaocheng, you must at least breath and thirty-six slashes.

And to reach Dacheng, it is necessary to breathe seventy-two slashes, and it is not until one breath and one hundred slashes that it can be considered complete.

Thinking that he had only walked a tenth of the way, Li Yi felt a heavy feeling in his heart, and the old man who kept the scriptures also said that the cultivation of this sword technique would only become more and more difficult, that is to say, he would have to put in more than nine times the effort before it was possible to complete his cultivation.

Continuing to cultivate, Li Yi already felt that it was difficult to move forward, and it was extremely difficult to reach the eleventh slash, and it took two days without making the slightest progress, so in desperation, he had to put it down temporarily.

Sometimes, cultivation cannot only rely on enthusiasm, but also flexibility, and when you encounter a bottleneck behind closed doors, you need to verify and accumulate experience through some actual combat or experience, and only in this way can you break through.

Li Yi put away the nameless sword, left the inner door, and came to the Hall of Merit.

After the end of the outer gate competition, in addition to getting a reward for a heaven-level spell, he also got 50,000 merit points, which are not used in the inner gate, but it does not mean that the inner disciples do not need merit points.

Li Yi spent 50,000 merit points to exchange a large number of Zhenyuan Dan, and there was a heavenly Dharma Dan in the inner door, but it could not be exchanged with merit points, so Li Yi could only come to exchange for Zhenyuan Dan.

Although the True Yuan Pill is only a Xuanpin Dharma Pill, it is still of great help to cultivation.

This is also the reason why many inner disciples need merit points.

Unless the realm reaches an extremely high level, or even reaches the Ninth Rank of Tongxuan, at that time, the Fa Dan under the Heavenly Grade will not be of much use.

In the following days, Li Yi focused on breaking through the realm.

After entering the inner gate, his biggest feeling was that his realm was too low, and the realm of ordinary inner disciples had reached the sixfold level of Tongxuan, and he suffered too much in this regard.

Even if his mysterious true qi is extraordinary, after all, he can't transcend the two realms, and he lacks understanding of his true qi, so it is difficult to tap his full potential, just like guarding a mountain of gold, but he doesn't know how to use it.

Taking a large amount of Zhenyuan Dan, with the help of a strong medicinal power, Li Yi made rapid progress.

Half a month later, a strong aura suddenly erupted from his body, shaking the entire room, and then, the aura was as restrained as the ebb tide and became calm.

But the sense of power in the body is even more distinct.

Quadruple Peak!

Li Yi's true qi has become much thicker than before, and at the same time, it is more condensed, but he still has not been able to break through the five layers of the Xuan.

His true qi is different, and if he wants to break through, the difficulty is far greater than that of ordinary people, even if he spends a full 50,000 merit points, he can't succeed.

"I have to find a way to get a large number of pills and break through the fifth level in one fell swoop!" Li Yi thought secretly, wondering what way to do it.

Suddenly, his mind moved, and he thought of the purple golden flute that he snatched from Chen Lingxue in the outer gate competition.

The purple gold flute is a mysterious magic weapon, which is very valuable, especially an extremely rare foreign magic weapon, and it is even more valuable.

Although the Hall of Merit does not accept foreign Dao weapons, outside the academy, there are many buyers.

A street in the southeast of Lingzhou City is the most prosperous street in the city, with crowds of people, and on both sides are all kinds of shops and vendors, selling pills, materials, magic utensils and other things, almost everything.

Among them, there is an attic, called Tianbao Pavilion, which is the most famous merchant in Lingzhou City, and the items sold are of high quality, and there are often things that cannot be bought or dared to be sold elsewhere.

There are many rumors outside that there is a mysterious force behind the Tianbao Pavilion, which makes it fearless and not afraid of being criticized, but no one can confirm it.

Li Yi went straight to Tianbao Pavilion and entered the hall, where a young man had already greeted him, with a smile on his face.

After explaining his intentions, the young man's face changed slightly, revealing a look of suspicion, and said, "Outer Dao magic weapon, and it's also a mysterious product, you're not joking, right?"

Li Yi said lightly: "Tianbao Pavilion is famous, who dares to make such a joke?"

The young man was still skeptical, and said, "You wait first." Entering the inner room, after half a ring, a middle-aged man walked out quickly.

"Below is the steward of Tianbao Pavilion, surnamed Wang, I wonder if Xiaoyou's magic weapon can be taken out and taken a look?" said the middle-aged man, with a hint of heat in his eyes, as if he couldn't wait.

Li Yi took out the purple gold flute.

"It's ......"

The middle-aged man took it and looked at it carefully, his face changed from doubt to shock, and finally his face was full of joy that he couldn't hide, he suddenly coughed, his expression returned to calm, and he said lightly: "I can't imagine that Xiaoyou is not very old, and there is actually an outer magic weapon such as the purple golden flute on his body, I don't know what Xiaoyou wants to exchange?"

"Pills. "Li Yi is very direct.

"Well, I don't know what kind of elixir?" The middle-aged man was not too surprised.

Li Yi originally wanted to say that he could exchange a large number of Xuanpin pills to improve his realm as soon as possible, but when the words came to his lips, his heart moved, and he said secretly: "I wonder if he has any Heavenly Grade Dharma Pill here?"

The Heavenly Grade Dharma Pill is extremely precious, and in the Immortal Academy, only by entering the inner gate and making great contributions can it be possible to be rewarded, otherwise don't even think about it.

"I want to exchange for a Heavenly Grade Dharma Pill. Li Yi pretended to be calm and said.

"What?" The middle-aged man was taken aback, then his face sank, and he said, "Do you know what a Heavenly Grade Dharma Pill means? Although the Purple Golden Flute is precious, there is still a bit of a gap compared to the Heavenly Grade Dharma Pill!"

"If it doesn't work, forget it. Li Yi picked up the purple gold flute, pretended to turn around and left, he saw that the middle-aged man was quite fond of the purple gold flute, so he guessed that the purple gold flute might have a different value for it, so he pretended to have a tough attitude, if the other party still insisted on refusing, then it was not too late for him to go back and talk about it in detail.

"Wait. ”

Sure enough, the middle-aged man stopped him, hesitated for a moment, and said, "The Heavenly Grade Dharma Pill is absolutely incomprehensible, if I agree to this deal, it will have to kill me." ”

"Then what do you mean?" Li Yi frowned.

The middle-aged man said: "There is no Heavenly Grade Dharma Dan, but I happen to have a half-Heavenly Grade Dharma Pill here, named Qiankun Pill, it is difficult to do it, but I can exchange it for you, I don't know if you are willing?"

"Qiankun Pill?" Li Yi was slightly surprised, he had never known much about pills, but the name of this Qiankun Pill was like thunder, it was a top-ranked existence in the Heavenly Pill, the medicinal power was strong, and it could greatly improve cultivation, but this kind of pill was extremely difficult to refine, and even if it was refined, it would often not be taken out and sold.

"Qiankun Dan is obviously a Heavenly Grade Dharma Pill, why is it said to be a half-heavenly product?" Li Yi wondered.

The middle-aged man sighed, and said with regret: "That's because in the process of refining, there was a slight error, and it was because of that little mistake that the pill failed to take shape, and it was only a semi-finished product, so it was said to be a half-day grade Fadan, but Rao is so, its medicinal power is also far stronger than that of the earth-grade Fadan, you can rest assured!"

"I see. Li Yi nodded, feeling a little uncertain.

The middle-aged man said lightly: "If you are still dissatisfied, then forget it, originally, if it weren't for our eldest lady who likes this kind of foreign way, I wouldn't be willing to change it with you!"

Li Yi listened, but he didn't doubt it, the purple golden flute, a foreign magic weapon, is rare and powerful, and secondly, it is more elegant, and it is understandable that it will be liked by women.

"Okay. Li Yi said.

The middle-aged man ordered the young man to enter the inner room, took out a brocade box, and said: "The medicinal power of Qiankun Pill is not trivial, even if it is a semi-finished product, it should not be underestimated, I advise you not to take it in a hurry, otherwise if your strength can't suppress that medicinal power, you will definitely explode and die!"

"Thanks for the reminder. Li Yi thanked him verbally, but he didn't take it too seriously in his heart.

Returning to the residence, he sat cross-legged, and slowly opened the brocade box, and there was a white jade bottle inside, although it had not been opened yet, Li Yi had already felt a full medicinal power rushing towards his face, almost suffocating.

"No wonder there is a brocade box outside, I can't imagine that the medicinal power of the half-heavenly grade Fadan is so strong!" Li Yi secretly admired, "I don't know how strong the real Tianpin Fadan is?"

This medicinal power was much stronger than the Diyuan Pill he had taken before.

Open the white jade bottle and pour out the Qiankun Pill.

I saw that the Qiankun Pill was actually black and white, and the medicinal power was emanating, and in an instant, the room was filled with a strong medicinal fragrance, and what was even more bizarre was that the Qiankun Pill was suspended in the air and did not fall.

It turned out that the medicinal power of the Qiankun Pill was too strong, permeating the whole body, and holding the pill.

"It's amazing!"

Li Yi exclaimed again, took a deep breath, and swallowed the Qiankun Pill into his stomach.

The next moment, however, he regretted it.

The medicinal power of the Qiankun Pill was far more terrifying than he imagined, and he only felt a scorching air flow running around his body, causing Li Yi to break out in a cold sweat.

"How can it hurt so much?" Li Yi gritted his teeth and endured it hard, but he was hard-willed, but he still couldn't support it.

He remembered the admonition of the king's steward in Duobao Pavilion, originally he was proud of his physical strength and didn't take it too seriously, and only then did he know that what he said was true.

But it was difficult to recover the water, and it was useless to regret it, so he could only desperately stabilize his mind and refine the Qiankun Pill little by little.

"Ahh

As the medicinal power of the Qiankun Pill continued to dissolve, Li Yi finally couldn't bear it anymore, screamed in pain, simply got up, jumped into the courtyard and punched.

Every punch is a tiger, but there is no order.

Li Yi wanted to use the practice of boxing to make the medicinal power refine faster.

I don't know how many punches I fought, and the yard was already shaken by the fist wind.

Suddenly, Li Yi punched out, halfway through, and suddenly turned around and slammed into his chest.
