I have to say that if you ignore the difficulty of falling in, the current Wai Dan Hall can really be said to be a holy place for cultivation.

With an inexplicable aura that is more abundant than the outer gate, Ye Chen meditates and cultivates every night, and during the day he studies spells or goes to Uncle Wang's to open a small stove, and his life is extremely regular and very fulfilling.

However, to his regret, his small stove class did not last long.

After going every three days, for almost two months, Uncle Wang seemed to have encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation and announced that he was going to retreat for a period of time and temporarily suspend classes for three months.

Ye Chen only felt that it was a pity, in the past two months, the part of alchemy knowledge he had learned from Senior Uncle Wang alone had far exceeded the sum of what he had learned in those two jade slips.

If he has a mid-stage of Qi refining, maybe he will already be refining Dan during this time.

I just wish that this kind of course could be held every day, for a few years, so that he could empty out all the other party's alchemy knowledge.

Of course, this is a joke, even if he is really willing to learn, Uncle Wang will definitely not be able to teach completely for free.

When he finally left, Ye Chen didn't forget to respectfully bow as a disciple.

Although Qingyun Sect only has the qualification to accept apprentices from Jindan Monks, this does not affect his heart, Senior Uncle Wang has already become half of his master in alchemy.

At least in terms of answering questions and solving doubts, Uncle Wang can be said to be a qualified master.

……

After another half a month, under the consumption of a fixed spirit ascension grass every day, Ye Chen finally broke through successfully again and reached a new realm, the third layer of qi refining.

The improvement of each layer in the Qi refining period is very obvious, and after reaching the third layer, the total amount of mana in the body has nearly doubled, not to mention, the mana has also been condensed a little.

Even the fields placed on the farm have changed from forty to sixty, and it seems that the Qi refining period should be a realm with twenty more farmlands.

Although the improvement is not large, it is also an additional spiritual grass income.

Then Ye Chen was very helpless to find that he had reached the "bottleneck" again.

It was not the bottleneck of realm breakthrough in the real sense, but after reaching the third layer of qi refining, the effects of both the Spirit Pill and the Spirit Enhancement Grass were much lower, which made his cultivation speed slow down all of a sudden.

If it was said that three Ascending Pills or one Ascending Spirit Grass could satisfy one night's cultivation before, then now it may take six or seven Ascending Pills or two Ascending Herbs, which may not be enough.

The cultivation speed slowed down several times.

He guessed that this situation would occur, on the one hand, because the total amount of mana increased after breaking through to the third layer of qi refining, and on the other hand, the concentration and total amount of spiritual energy provided by the Spirit Ascension Grass had reached the limit.

You must know that the Ascension Pill was originally an entry-level pill suitable for the disciples of the first and second layers of Qi refining.

As the main medicine of this elixir, the effect of the Ascension Grass is naturally limited to the first and second layers of qi refining.

At this time, he had three layers, and the natural effect was greatly reduced.

Anyway, he also had an understanding of the art of alchemy, and Ye Chen knew that in fact, it was because of his lack of qualifications.

If the qualifications are sufficient, then you can use the Ascension Pill to advance rapidly in the third layer of Qi refining.

If the qualifications are better, or even if you don't need the pill, you can "run naked" to cultivate, and you can break through to the fourth layer of qi refining within a few months and a year!

This is because the quality of the qualification determines the absorption and use rate of the aura.

If it is a metaphor, it is the cultivation of immortal cultivators, which is like scooping water into a big vat of oneself with a spoon.

Some people use soup spoons for eating, some people use rice spoons for adding rice, and some people use large steel spoons for pouring feed for pigs......

Ye Chen couldn't change anything, it was extremely difficult to change something like a natural thing, what he could do was to find a way to improve other "external factors".

For example, better elixirs, better spirit grasses, and better cultivation environments.

The only thing that has a higher probability of realization is a better spirit grass.

But these things, at least in the sect, there is no way to get them in a short period of time.

"Would you like to go down the mountain?"

This thought suddenly popped into Ye Chen's heart.

Although he was relatively withdrawn, he would occasionally chat with the chatty disciples outside, and he also knew that many disciples would often go down the mountain.

Some people go down the mountain to do tasks, some people go down the mountain to visit relatives and friends, and some people go down the mountain to trade with people.

Among them, those who trade down the mountain account for more than half of these people.

After all, there are really no good trading points in the Qingyun Sect, and if no one holds a trade fair, then there is nothing to buy and sell can only go down the mountain.

Relying on the existence of the Qingyun Sect, the Xianchengfang City near the Qingyun Sect is very prosperous, in addition to the Qingyun Sect, many small families and small sects will go to these Fang Sects to open shops and trade.

Even casual cultivators will go to set up a stall from time to time to earn some spirit stones.

Counting the distance in all directions, there are at least dozens of Xianchengfang cities within a thousand miles.

There are so many markets under the mountain, if he goes to one or two, he can always find other spiritual grasses suitable for cultivation, right?

Ye Chen remembered that there were at least two kinds of spirit grasses, which were the main medicines for the cultivation of the third and fourth level of Qi refining cultivators.

Since the Spirit Enhancement Grass can be used instead of the Spirit Ascending Pill, it is presumable that these Spirit Grasses should also be able to meet the conditions.

Just do it, the next day, Ye Chen picked a time to find Li Meng.

He didn't say why he was going down the mountain, but Li Meng didn't ask, but quickly recommended him a fang market.

The surrounding Fang City, which was mainly built by a small Xiuxian family surnamed Hu, is not big, but it is close to Qingyun Sect, and it is only less than two days away.

Moreover, there is also a stronghold of the Qingyun Sect in this city, and no matter what happens, the sect will take care of it.

Ye Chen quickly made a decision, of course he had to go down the mountain, so he went to register and walked down the mountain.

……

Legend has it that thousands of years ago, there was a fox demon who cultivated into a human form, occupied a mountain range near the Qingyun Sect and did evil, claiming to be the fox king, and intercepting and killing many passing monks.

Soon it was exterminated by the Qingyun Sect, and the fox demon fought for three days, and I don't know how many monks were killed in the counterattack, but in the end it was still not the opponent of the Qingyun Sect monks who had many means.

Although the fox demon eventually fell, its fox grandchildren fled the place for a short time, and returned again after a while, forming a large group of foxes.

The mountain where they are located is called Fox Mountain.

It is said that a thousand years ago, an elder of Qingyun Sect Jindan surnamed Hu occupied Fox Mountain and killed a large part of the fox clan here, and the remaining fox demons were all subdued by him.

Hundreds of years later, it developed into the Hu family, a small family of immortal cultivators.

The current Hu family is no longer satisfied with the prestige of the past, although there are still many disciples in each generation who have entered the Qingyun Sect to cultivate, but there is a faint sense of lack of success.

You must know that the current patriarch of the Hu family is just building a foundation and cultivating.

In order to revitalize the family, in recent decades, the Hu family has opened a market called "Hushan Fang City" near their family station, although the scale is not large, but it is quite close to Qingyun Sect, so it is very popular.

The people who came and went were basically low-level cultivators in the early and middle stages of Qi refining.
