Chapter 4: The Five Layers of Qi Refining
Yang Cheng's spiritual root qualification is a three-line alien spirit root.
However, the alien spirit root is not a single spirit root, and its cultivation speed is much slower than that of the three spirit roots.
Therefore, Yang Cheng understood that the further he went, the slower his cultivation speed would be.
If there was still no auxiliary cultivation such as pill spirit stones, after refining the fifth layer of qi, every time Yang Cheng broke through the first layer, it would probably take three or five years or even seven or eight years.
At this rate, by the time his cultivation reached the consummation of the Qi refining period, Yang Cheng estimated that he would already be over forty years old at the best time to build a foundation.
It is even very likely that you will get stuck in a certain level and never get an inch again.
Just like Yang Cheng had seen, those fellow disciples who were past middle age and even gray-haired.
In view of this, Yang Cheng thought hard and found that although the residence he chose was remote, the area of the courtyard was not ordinarily large.
So he had an idea, and directly divided his yard into two halves, and opened up half of them into a medicine field.
Because the medicine field is in the courtyard where he lives, it does not occupy the place in the peak, and the courtyard is also built by his predecessors, Yang Cheng can only be regarded as taking over.
According to the rules of the Spirit Sword Sect, this medicinal field became Yang Cheng's private property, and there was no need to pay any fees.
Otherwise, with a large amount of rent every year, Yang Cheng would not be able to afford it at all.
Therefore, the Chinese medicine field opened up by Yang Cheng was even surprised when Uncle Zhang heard about it.
However, because of this, the other disciples under Yuexiu Peak were very jealous and dissatisfied with Yang Cheng taking such a big advantage.
Gradually, Yang Cheng found that he was isolated, and there were fewer and fewer people willing to associate with him.
Yang Cheng was speechless after thinking about this, and could only accept this reality with a wry smile.
Anyway, there weren't many people who usually came and went, and it was impossible for him to take out his medicine field and share it with others.
However, in Yang Cheng's medicine field, there were only some medicinal herbs planted sparsely, which was completely incomparable to the peak medicine field he was responsible for taking care of.
Yang Cheng didn't have any dissatisfied expression, entered the medicine field, and began to hoe and water carefully.
There is no way, although the medicinal field is available, but for Yang Cheng, buying medicinal herb seeds is also a big expense.
If it weren't for Uncle Zhang's big hand, he allocated a piece of medicine field and handed it to Yang Cheng to take care of, and he would have made some money every month.
Although there are few herbs in the medicine field, just last month, Yang Cheng made a friendship with Uncle Zhang, and exchanged a few herbs for a pill from Uncle Zhang.
An elixir suitable for the Qi refining period is worth at least three spirit stones.
In this way, Yang Cheng not only did not lose, but also made a slight profit.
But after this experience, the herbs in Yangcheng's medicinal field were even more pitiful.
However, after having that elixir, Yang Cheng became more eager and looking forward to breaking through the fifth layer of qi refining.
The urgent reason is because the rules of the Spirit Sword Sect stipulate that all disciples who have cultivated below the fifth level of qi refining cannot go out at will!
Only after breaking through the fifth layer of qi refining can Yang Cheng freely go into the mountains to collect medicines, or go to the Fang Market to sell the herbs he has cultivated, and exchange them for some pills to improve his mana to speed up his cultivation progress.
Judging from here, no one has anything to do with Yang Cheng, but Yang Cheng can concentrate on his own affairs.
In this way, more than ten days soon passed.
During this period, in addition to taking care of the two medicinal fields, Yang Cheng practiced behind closed doors.
Finally on this day, Yang Cheng felt that the time for a breakthrough had come.
Overjoyed, Yang Cheng immediately opened the prohibition in the small courtyard to avoid being disturbed during the breakthrough. Then he came to the cultivation room and sat upright, and began to close his eyes and breathe.
It wasn't until a long time later that Yang Cheng felt calm and emotionally stable, and he opened his eyes again.
Raise your hand and take out a blue-white pill from the storage bag, put it in your mouth and swallow it, then slowly closed your eyes, and began to mobilize your spiritual power, running the basic exercise Yuan Geng Jue with all your might.
As soon as the pill entered the abdomen, it was immediately transformed into a stream of pure aura, and under the wrapping of the spiritual power of the exercise, it was like a tide, along the meridian channel, rushing towards the level of the fifth layer of qi refining.
Boom!
Again and again, the fifth-layer level of Qi refining, which was blocking the spiritual power, finally couldn't bear it, and quietly cracked a gap, breaking through, right in front of you!
Seeing this opportunity, Yang Chengna didn't know what to do, so he hurriedly calmed down, mobilized a huge wave again, and rushed towards the place where it was broken.
With a faint clicking sound in the psychic sense, the level was finally shattered.
The surging waves rushed through the interception, and rushed in without hindrance, entering a new meridian channel and realm.
In the morning, Yang Cheng opened his eyes, showed a happy look, and began to look around.
After a night of consolidating his cultivation, at this point, he finally became a true Qi Refining Fifth-Layer Immortal Cultivator.
Thinking of the large number of medicinal herbs in the Zijin Mountain Range waiting for him to pick, and the countless pills in the Fang Market waiting for him to exchange them!
In addition, he is one step closer to returning to his hometown for revenge, and his mood is even better out of thin air.
But at this moment, a mutation suddenly happened!
In the sea of chaotic consciousness that Yang Cheng had never noticed, a white light cluster that had been hidden for a long time seemed to have finally reached a critical point, and after a few violent flickerings, it suddenly shattered and collapsed, turning into bits of white light.
Then countless handwriting messages swarmed in, scrambling to squeeze into Yang Cheng's Yuan Shen.
Yang Cheng, who was about to rejoice, suddenly felt that his eyes were fiercely black, and then he fell to the ground unbearably and fainted completely.
It wasn't until half an hour later that Yang Cheng came to his senses.
Grinning and rubbing his bruised head, Yang Cheng got up from the futon and sat down, and it took a little more time to finally sort out the information that appeared inexplicably.
It turned out that the information that poured into Yang Cheng's Yuan Shen was left by the immortal cultivator who suddenly appeared at the beginning and tested the spiritual root of Xiao Yang Cheng who had just completed the moon.
And this person, according to his own introduction, is an immortal cultivator in the Dan stage of the Hanging Mountain's master-apprentice lineage.
For this, Yang Cheng was shocked but had no objection.
After all, to be able to leave a message on himself more than ten years ago, it would not be revealed until he broke through to the fifth layer of Qi refining.
I think that only a high-level immortal cultivator like the Dan Stage can do such a thing!
Next, this Immortal Cultivator of the Dan Stage informed Yang Cheng of the reason why he left the message.
Because the master and apprentice in the Yudan period were not secret, there was a traitor, and the matter was inadvertently leaked.
Subsequently, not only was the master-apprentice lineage turned around by the Yuan clan by virtue of his cultivation, but he once again won the authority of the Hanging Mountain. The Yang clan was almost wiped out.
The strength of the master and apprentice was greatly reduced, so that they could not rescue the Yang family, and they were deeply ashamed of it.
Therefore, I hope that the Yang clan can produce a disciple with spiritual roots, and then make amends.
It's a pity that this wait is three hundred years, and it wasn't until the end of the immortal cultivator in the Dan period came that Yang Cheng was finally detected with a spiritual root qualification.
