Chapter 44: Bottlenecks
Without Uncle Wang's small stove, Ye Chen's daily life was very simple, except for cultivation, he studied spells, or studied the jade slips left by Uncle Wang.
As he envisioned, it is also the main medicine of the cultivation and promotion elixir, and the Gyokuro grass can be taken directly to improve the cultivation.
But this must be assisted by the Spirit Devouring Decision, otherwise, the medicinal properties provided by the Jade Dew Grass are several times more difficult to absorb than the Spirit Ascending Grass!
Ye Chen estimated that if he hadn't entered the Dantang to cultivate the Medicine King Sutra and learned the Spirit Devouring Decision, he was afraid that he would have fallen into the dilemma of a sharp drop in cultivation speed at this time.
The cultivation effect of a single Yulu Grass was completely equivalent to a Yulu Pill, but it made him breathe a sigh of relief, and he no longer worried that he would run out of medicine after the Yulu Pill was consumed.
After replanting two stubbles, the Gyokuro Grass had finally expanded to more than ten plants, which could meet his consumption of one plant a day, and Ye Chen put away the Yulu Pill that was already left.
If he could use the spirit grass to cultivate directly, he wouldn't be able to use the pill.
Although, in a sense, this is a practice that seems very stupid to outsiders.
But he was willing.
There is a farm to be placed, at least this is a little capricious, he can do it.
……
The days when no one is disturbed always fly by.
Uncle Wang said that more than half of the three months of retreat had passed, and on the twenty days of the third month, Ye Chen finally fell into the greatest distress since his cultivation.
He's stuck in a bottleneck!
It's not the kind of bottleneck caused by the impurities produced by over-swallowing the spirit grass, the spirit swallowing decision is quite easy to use, and it can refine the impurities in the spirit grass to seven, seven, eight, eight, eight, and eight, which can be regarded as directly saving him this part of the trouble.
The bottleneck of Taka is the bottleneck from the third layer of gas refining to the fourth layer of gas refining, and it is also the bottleneck from the early stage of gas refining to the middle stage of gas refining.
This is not a bottleneck in the small realm, but a bottleneck in the middle realm.
With sufficient cultivation resources, the progress of cultivation is rapid, and it may have taken Ye Chen several years to reach the peak of the third layer of qi refining, but he has already reached it in just over two months.
Compared to breaking through from the second layer of qi refining to the third layer of qi refining, the time it took him was basically the same.
This seems very unreasonable at first glance, as we all know that the cultivators' cultivation is more and more difficult to improve the back, but don't forget, this is only his promotion from the third layer of qi refining to the peak of the third layer, which is still a huge bottleneck from the fourth layer of qi refining.
This bottleneck not only stuck Ye Chen, but it also stuck countless ordinary monks who were not so well-qualified.
There is always a group of monks in the outer gate, who have been specializing in farming for several years or even decades, and have saved a lot of spirit stones in their hands, but they are hard to be stuck at the peak of the third layer of qi refining, although the life is comfortable, but they will not be able to go further in their cultivation for eternity.
In a sense, this is limited by qualifications.
Those geniuses of the inner gate had never heard of anyone who would be stuck in the third layer of qi refining......
Ye Chen didn't have a good solution to this.
He checked the information and found that this bottleneck could not be broken by taking a large amount of pills as before.
No one has a specific explanation for this, only that this bottleneck will break through on its own after time to settle.
People with good qualifications will not even have this kind of bottleneck, and people with poor qualifications are likely to be stuck in this bottleneck for a lifetime.
Some people jokingly said that this was the screening of the Heavenly Dao, so that those monks who were not the proud sons of the heavens could keep to themselves and give up their fearless dream of further cultivating immortals and attaining the Tao as soon as possible.
But fortunately, the bottleneck caused by this qualification will only appear during the gas refining period.
What is determined by the qualification is only the Qi refining period - this is the common knowledge of the immortal cultivation world.
When the foundation is laid, hundreds of millions of monks will be on the same starting line again.
It's just that when the time comes, it's something else that will determine the difference between the monks.
Cultivation was temporarily suspended, but Ye Chen was not particularly worried about it.
His qualifications were not so bad, although many people in the outside world thought that he was the lowest among the disciples in the same period, but only a few people who noticed it, such as him and Li Meng, knew that he left the hospital early at that time and did not receive the Qi Induction Pill, and the time for Qi induction into the body would be so much slower than others.
Ye Chen's estimated qualifications are above average, and he is definitely not as good as those elites in the inner gate, but he is definitely not worse than too many people in the outer gate.
Therefore, although he has nothing to do about this bottleneck, it is easy to solve it - he just needs to wait.
Maintain the proper cultivation time every day to maintain your cultivation, and maybe the bottleneck will loosen itself in a few days.
Of course, it could be months, or years.
But there is good news.
Both the Black Silver Grass and the Day Death Flower had successfully grown, and the number of seeds they provided was relatively normal, not as small as the Gyokuro Grass had given them.
It seems that the farm does not care about the growth characteristics of the spirit grass at all, and even the day death flowers that will die when they see the light are alive and well under the big sun on the farm.
It's just that Ye Chen took out another plant to observe after it matured, and as a result, the day-dead flower turned into a dead grass in a short instant—although the medicinal power was still there, it was obviously impossible to replant it to live.
In the end, it was concluded that these spirit grasses can grow in the same way as in the farm, but this will not change their properties, and they will be the same as other spirit grasses when they are removed from the farm.
And there is a big difference in the time it takes for these two spirit grasses to grow and mature, and the black silver grass only took seven days to grow, which is not much longer than the five days of the ascension spirit grass.
According to the price of two spirit stones of this kind of spirit grass, it should be at least three or four spirit stones, but it is a good cash crop - it just can't be taken out and sold
However, the Day Death Flower took more than thirty days, which was much longer than the time of the Jade Dew Grass, but the value of this spirit grass was not low, the inferior quality outside cost ten spirit stones, and the ordinary quality ones had at least fifteen spirit stones.
These two spirit grasses are not the type that can be swallowed directly, Ye Chen got it
Since then, Ye Chen has relaxed his cultivation, and at the same time increased his research on spells and those jade slips.
More than half a month has passed, in addition to learning one more looted attack spell winding technique, I have finally studied the content of the jade slip.
The Winding Technique is a spell that can only be cultivated at the third level of Qi Refining, and it is very similar to the Earth Binding Technique, which is a type of control spell that restricts the movement of the enemy's body.
It's just that the earth binding technique creates a puddle of mud under the feet of others, which will suck the other person's feet into it and make them unable to move.
The winding technique directly generates a mass of vines and binds the whole person of the other person.
The effect is more direct and obvious, and the "Medicine King Sutra" cultivated by Ye Chen is a wood fire technique, and there will be additional bonuses when using this spell.
