Chapter 88: Bottleneck

The clock was ticking, and before I knew it, it was already night.

Regarding Uncle Mutou's question, 'What are you looking for me?', Lin Ziye wiped away his tears and answered for me half an hour ago, "That is, the last 'Demon Art Initial Simplicity' cultivation course has been completed, and Xiao Yi's entanglement has reached the primary bottleneck and cannot be broken through. ”

When Bomb heard this answer, he was first surprised, and then said to Lin Ziye: "It is worthy of the little doll you have chosen, and it is really talented!" Then, he paused and said to me, "The 'Demon Beginner Simple Book' I asked the little doll to bring you last time was a demon cultivation package that I customized for you, if it was an ordinary person who was cultivating this demon book, it would take at least three months, and you, it only took more than a month, which shocked me!" Since the junior Cheng dΓΉ has taught you how to do it, then, I'll take out the treasure of my town!"

Uncle Bomb sat up from his chair as he spoke, and walked slowly into a small door in the north wall, and in a few moments, carefully holding a thin, dusty book in his hand, blew and patted the book with his hands, and walked out step by step, and when the dust flew into his mouth, he bent his waist with a slight cough.

"Come, take a look, this is a demon book that I have treasured for more than a thousand years, but this demon book is worth more than a thousand years!" Bond said proudly.

Naturally, Bond is now more than a thousand years old, and this book has existed before him, and there are not only a thousand years before it, but also a longer years.

So, I took a solemn look at the book.

Still, the words written in the book are the language of Mu Lingshu, and I really can't figure it out at a glance, but fortunately, Bond saw the clue and calmly explained.

"Demon art is divided into elementary, intermediate, advanced, super advanced, ultimate and other levels, this book belongs to the category of intermediate demon books, if it is a more advanced demon book, I don't have it. And there is a bottleneck in the transition period of each level, and if you want to move to the next stage, you have to break the bottleneck, and as for the rules for breaking the bottleneck, I think you already know something!" Boom said.

What do I know?

Boom looked at me with a puzzled expression, shook his head and explained again: "As an ordinary person, the preparation before cultivating demon art is to break the bottleneck of the difference between humans and demons, I think, you must have done something before!"

What was done...... Lin Ziye forged my tendons before I practiced the fire, and all of a sudden, the long-term memories spread out in my mind.

"Is it forging?" I asked Bond suspiciously, and swept my eyes over Lin Ziye, who smiled and nodded, it seemed that he was right.

"Hmm...... Yes, it's called forging tendons, so do you know what it takes to break the bottleneck from beginner to intermediate?"

I shook my head.

"Let me tell you!" said the 'erudite' Boom to himself.

The words "refining bones!" came out of Bomb's mouth, and his eyes were so firm that there was no doubt about it.

"Bone-refining? What is that? Uh-huh...... So what do you need to do with the bottleneck from intermediate to advanced?" I was full of curiosity, and my demon cultivation heart was ready to ask Bond a few questions one after another.

Boom snorted, "Stinky boy, I didn't learn to walk but wanted to learn to run first, it's really unreasonable!"

For a moment, sweat oozed from Boom's forehead, and gradually dripped down his cheeks and fell to the ground.

Hehe, my question inadvertently poked at Boom's soft underbelly, and Boom didn't know what he needed to do, right?!

I think Boom's hexology may have only stayed at the bottleneck of the intermediate level for thousands of years!

Hehe, I can make fun of you in the future!

"I'm sorry Uncle Bomb, I won't ask that again!" I apologize to Bomb, even if it's a thousand-year-old demon, you need steps to get down!

"Ahem!" Bond stroked the mustache on his chin unnaturally, "Of course, everything is about graduality, so let's do it, I'll 'refine your bones' and help you break the bottleneck!"

Fortunately, my plan is like this, as long as I cultivate the magic to the intermediate level, I will definitely challenge Bomb's authority, let him show his true strength, and see if he confirms my conjecture: he has not broken through the intermediate bottleneck to reach the advanced level within a thousand years.

"So when will it start?" Lin Ziye asked first.

"Now...... Of course not!" Bond pointed to the sky, "It's already night, and I'll be refining his bones an hour after dinner!"

I nodded in agreement, because my stomach had been screaming many times in front of the two of them before this, and it seemed that even if I was a demon cultivator, I couldn't avoid hunger!

Dinner is very simple, presumably the monsters are all coarse tea and light rice type, especially when they reach a certain level of monsters, they are not very particular about the food, if they have it, they will eat, and if they don't, they will eat less!

However, on the dining table, Lin Ziye's favorite coke was appropriately placed, as well as some cold dishes, although it was extremely simple, Lin Ziye was tired of eating, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

During this time, I asked Bond a different question than the purpose of the trip, "Uncle Bond, do you have a wife?"

Bond threw me a relieved look that I thought I understood, but I was mistaken.

I thought that Boom, though he was middle-aged, would mind finding a human woman as the other half as a thousand-year-old demon in a foreign land, and that there was no woman in his current family to prove my inference...... In fact, I was wrong.

"There used to be one, but, as a human being, there will always be a day when her life ends, I accompanied her through the wind and rain, but lost her in the wind and rain, until I can no longer find her trace, I don't love anymore!"

Boom said, his eyes looking out the window again, and the flickering light on an old-fashioned telephone pole loomed over the bits and pieces of the street.

I was genuinely afraid, was that what Bomb was saying? What was the literary atmosphere? Did he get the wrong line?

Of course not, after all, people are thousand-year-old demons, and it is forgivable to occasionally break out of literary skills!

However, from this sentence, I can also understand Bomb's love life, which can be explained in four words: tired and not loved.

If you count how long Boom has lived, he should have experienced a lot, but what motivates them to live every day? What does it mean for them to be a youkai with an almost infinite life? I don't know much about it until now!

"Have you eaten yet?" Boom asked me, looking at me, not in a hurry to clean up the leftovers on the table.

"Hmm!" I nodded, although I ate some cold tofu or something, but I could fill my stomach, so I didn't have to complain about anything!

Seeing me nodding, Bomb stood up and said, "Wait, I'll go get you some herbs!"

Hmm? I was quite puzzled by his words, why did I need some medicinal herbs? Do I need the assistance of medicinal herbs to refine bones?

At this time, Lin Ziye opened his mouth, "Old wood, help me get some too, I also want to break through the bottleneck!"

Oh, by the way, it wasn't until now that Lin Ziye's words suddenly reminded me of something, that is, Lin Ziye was now also at the bottleneck of the initial stage, otherwise, how could she not know how to cultivate after I reached the bottleneck.

But, that's enough, the girl who taught me sorcery, if the 'girl' doesn't have the ability to teach sorcery, then wouldn't she become 'Bond who taught me sorcery'?!

Well, Lin Ziye must have something extraordinary, Lin Tan can't be off-topic while writing!

Hehe, it won't.

"Oh, uh-huh...... It's okay, at least if you can protect yourself in case of danger, I'll make you two copies, and I'll give you 'bone refining' tonight!"

After Lin Ziye nodded, Bond said, help me look at the store, if someone comes, say that the shopkeeper is not there, don't sell things first, you don't know how much the purchase price is, in case of loss, I won't spare you!

At that time, I was speechless, as a thousand-year-old demon, do you still care about these small profits?

Lin Ziye and I looked at each other and smiled, and watched Bond walk out of the store.

Lin Ziye and I were idle in Bomb's house until nine o'clock, Bond was tired and dragged a large package from outside the house.

"It's ruined my old man's body!"

As soon as we entered the house, Bond complained one after another, but we all looked at him with a flattering smile, who called him the master of the two of us to "break through the bottleneck"!

"Wait, don't open it yet!" Lin Ziye and I were about to take a look at what was in the bag with our mouths tied, but Boom, who was tired and slumped on the sofa, stopped us in time.

Why don't you let us see? Lin Ziye and I put the bag aside angrily, no matter what the reason, if we offended Bond for this reason, he might not help us "break the bottle" because of this.

"Hmm...... Of course, it's not that I don't want you to see it, but I'm afraid that when you know what's inside, you won't be willing to practice 'bone refining' anymore!

Hehe, what else can make us dare not 'refine bones' because of this?

I don't believe in this evil, I just want to see it!

"Uncle Bomb, I want to take a look, otherwise I'll be in a bad mood, I'm afraid I'll be distracted when it's time to refine my bones!" I tentatively tried to get Boom's consent.

Bomb nodded helplessly and said, "If you see it, you must refine the bones, otherwise, hum, I won't spare you!"

Well!

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and slowly untied the slipknot rope that was holding the mouth of the bag......
