In the blink of an eye, it has been another three years, and Qi Shou has stayed in Qingping Sect every day for the past three years, in addition to cultivation or cultivation.

With more than three hundred third-level spirit stones, Qi Shou just wanted to stay on the mountain all the time, and it was more than enough to cultivate to the Qi Transformation Realm.

Three years later, Qi Shou broke through to the ninth level of body refining.

This speed was a little faster than Qi Shou expected, and the main reason was that with that third-level spirit stone, Qi Shou's cultivation was twice as effective with half the effort.

It is now the seventeenth year of Jiasheng, and Qi Shou has also stepped into the road of cultivating immortals for more than 40 years.

After more than forty years of cultivation to the ninth level of body refining, this speed is very fast, although it is not as fast as those cultivation demons who have broken through the spirit building in fifty years, but it is already quite fast compared to those ordinary monks.

Reaching the ninth level of body refining is also the last step to step into the spirit building.

Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety.

If it is said that from a mortal to a refinement is a key step into cultivating immortals, then refining the ninth level to building a spirit is the first mountain on the road to cultivating immortals.

A monk who cultivates a body has a lifespan of 100 years, and a monk who builds a spirit has a lifespan of 200 years.

Throughout the ages, countless monks have died at this step.

You must know that if you want to break through the spirit building, it is not a problem that can be solved by just spending time cultivating.

"Next, it's time to work harder."

For Qi Shou, there was no difficulty in breaking through the spirit building.

He cultivated immortals in two lives, and he had accumulated a lot of cultivation experience in the previous life, so at least there should be no obstacles before the Qi Transformation Realm.

This year, in addition to Qi Shou's cultivation to the ninth level of body refining, there is a more important event for Dashun.

Daesun officially declared war on Pyongyang.

Many years ago, there was an undercurrent between Taesun and Pyongyang.

For this national war, Dashun can be said to be ready for everything, recruiting monks from various sects and transferring troops in various cities.

Huang Shaokang was transferred to the battlefield.

This year, Huang Shaokang wrote a letter to Qi Shou, saying that he was going to the battlefield.

He worked diligently in Zhou Haicheng for decades, thinking that he could successfully climb to the position of patrol governor, but Dashun suddenly fought Pyongyang, so he was forced to be transferred to the front-line battlefield.

In the letter, Huang Shaokang expressed great regret that he had not been able to maintain correspondence with Qi Shou over the years.

"If Shao Kang really dies on the battlefield, I hope Brother Shou can sweep my mother's grave on my behalf."

At the end of the letter, Huang Shaokang asked Qi Shou.

Holding the letter in his hand, Qi Shou had mixed feelings in his heart.

This letter was written by Huang Shaokang himself.

I still remember that back then, Qi Shou and Huang Shaokang came to Zhou Haicheng from Huatian Village together, Huang Shaokang was still a rough person at that time, he couldn't write, and every time he wrote a letter, he was looking for someone to write a letter.

Now, Huang Shaokang has been working in Zhou Haicheng's official mansion for many years, and he has made a lot of efforts for his career.

It's a pity that creation makes people.

This is the essential difference between serving the dynasty and these sect monks.

Serving the dynasty, most of the time I can't help myself.

Just like Zhao Zhijing, the lord of Zhou Hai City, although he is in a high position, he can't leave Zhou Hai City at will.

It's okay for someone with a higher status like him, like Huang Shaokang, who is really involuntarily, and he doesn't even have the opportunity to sweep his mother's grave.

"When I reach the Spirit Realm, it's time for the next mountain." Qi Shou thought in his heart that he was in a hurry to erect a monument for Huangmu last time, but he simply erected a monument.

For Qi Shou, Huangmu is not a mother but a mother, although he wants to say it again, but he must also make the Yellow Mother clear.

The battle between Dashun and Pyongyang had little impact on Zhou Haicheng.

Pyongyang is in the south of Dashun, and Zhou Haicheng is far away in the north of Dashun, and the war cannot be affected here.

The war had no effect on the Qingping Sect, and Qi Shou still cultivated as before.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was another twelve years, and Qi Shou cultivated day and night, and finally felt the bottleneck of the body refining realm.

"It's finally here."

On this day, Qi Shou has been waiting for a long time.

Two years ago, Fu Jingnan broke through the spirit building and went down the mountain to practice, and since then, Qi Shou has faintly touched the threshold of spirit building.

However, as Qi Shou's cultivation time became longer and longer, that feeling of appearing and disappearing suddenly disappeared.

Now, that feeling is coming again.

Qi Shou was not in a hurry, he had a lifetime of cultivation experience, and he knew that this was the boundary of breakthrough.

The more times like this, the more we must be calm and not rush for quick success.

The essence of cultivating immortals is to conform to the way of heaven and not to go against the sky, Qi Shou knows this very well.

What he has to do is to cultivate steadily, and when the time comes, he will naturally be able to break through and succeed.

For other monks, this is often the time when they have already begun to retreat, trying to capture the sense of breakthrough that is hidden at that time.

Qi Shou, who had a lifetime of cultivation experience, didn't do that.

He is not in a hurry to break through, it doesn't matter when he breaks through, but he must break through steadily.

Refining the body and breaking through the spirit building is the first hurdle for monks to cultivate immortals, and it is very likely that those monks who are restless will fail.

This failure does not mean that you can succeed if you try again.

If the breakthrough fails, the lighter ones may suffer some internal injuries, and the heavier ones will suffer serious damage to their vitality and even reduce their cultivation.

Of course, the most terrible thing is the creation of inner demons.

Although it is unlikely for Qi Shou to have demons, it is better to be stable.

For Qi Shou, his path to immortality is only the beginning step.

Thousands of high-rise buildings rise from the ground, if they start to leave hidden dangers, these dark diseases will be infinitely magnified in the future.

Therefore, although there were already signs of a breakthrough, Qi Shou did not retreat and immerse himself in cultivation, and still maintained a normal cultivation time every day, leading Xiaoqing to walk in the sect from time to time.

"Brother Qi is out for a walk again."

Qi Shou led Xiaoqing for a walk in the sect and met Tao Xinghuai on the way.

"Take Xiaoqing out for a walk." Qi Shou replied with a smile.

When he first participated in the sect competition, Tao Xinghuai, like Yu Xiang, was refining the ninefold body, and Qi Shou had just refined the eightfold body at that time.

Now that more than ten years have passed, Yu Xiang broke through to the Spirit Building Realm in retreat not many days after returning from the auction of Baolin Pavilion, but Tao Xinghuai's strength has not risen at all now, and he is still refining the body ninefold.

He failed to break through.

At that time, Yu Xiang's breakthrough failed, which made him feel a little excited in his heart, thinking about breaking through quickly and catching up with Yu Xiang, the first person.

As a result, that breakthrough failed, Tao Xinghuai's whole person bled out, if it weren't for the sect elders to protect the Fa, Tao Xinghuai might have died directly on the spot.

At that time, Yu Xiang was dying, and on the verge of death, Qi Shou happened to be present, and took out the five-grade rejuvenation pill that Zhao Zhijing gave him back then to save his life.

After that, Tao Xinghuai regarded Qi Shou as a life-saving benefactor, and his relationship with Qi Shou also improved.

In return, Tao Xinghuai also gave Qi Shou an intermediate magic weapon water mirror blade.

Of course, the price of an intermediate magic weapon and a fifth-grade Rejuvenation Pill does not match, but this is already Tao Xinghuai's entire net worth.

The failure of this breakthrough did not have much impact on Tao Xinghuai's state of mind, but it caused great damage to his cultivation.

It took him a few years to recover, and then he became particularly cautious about breaking through.
