Chapter 40: The Eighth Layer of Qi Refining

Li Bufan hurriedly returned to the cave mansion, and couldn't wait to take out the spirit stone he had just received, his heart full of anticipation. He had long wanted to try it, using spirit stones to assist in cultivation, what kind of magic did it have, and he had heard many people smack the effect before, but he had been suffering from shyness before, and he was embarrassed to ask Zhao Wumian for it cheekily, so he never completed this matter.

And now, after completing this task, he already has a lot of wealth, and he can finally have a luxury.

He carefully took out a crystal clear spirit stone and held it in his hand. The surface of this spirit stone is as smooth as jade, and it emits a dazzling light, as if it contains endless power. The protagonist closes his eyes tightly and concentrates on absorbing the pure aura in the spirit stone.

At the beginning, Li Bufan only felt a faint trace of aura entering his body, as if small ripples were quietly spreading in his meridians. However, as time passed, he gradually noticed that the aura in his body had become stronger.

In an instant, a powerful aura poured out from the spirit stone, powerful and pure. Like a raging storm rushed towards Li Bufan, Li Bufan felt as if he was being pulled by an invisible force, and the whole person seemed to be about to integrate into it.

Just when Li Bufan felt strange, a strong aura suddenly emerged from the spirit stone. The aura is so pure that it is like the purest source of water in the sea, which makes the protagonist wonder.

The spiritual sea in his body began to surge, the spiritual energy galloped in the meridians, as if to break through the shackles, he felt that every cell in his body was boiling, he tried to maintain a calm state of mind, and the pores of his whole body seemed to be absorbing this endless spiritual energy.

Just like a long drought and a rainstorm, absorbing this pure aura recklessly, the originally somewhat tired body gradually regained its vitality, as if it was full of vitality.

Li Bufan opened his eyes, only to see that the air around him had also become clear, as if he had been washed by this pure aura. The lights in the cave house are also brighter because of the infusion of aura, illuminating the entire cave house.

Gradually, Li Bufan's body began to change, and he felt that his spiritual power was growing, and his breath was becoming more and more condensed. His eyes opened slightly, and there was a glint of crystal clear light in his eyes, as if the stars were twinkling in them.

But after all, there was only one piece of this spirit stone, and that incomparably pure spiritual power was absorbed in less than a few breaths.

Although it has been absorbed, most of the spiritual power is still in Li Bufan's body, if you want to refine them all, it should take a few days of effort, it seems that this spirit stone is not as much as you want to absorb.

Li Bufan couldn't help but sigh at the magic of the spirit stone, he didn't expect that a small spirit stone would contain such a rich aura. He deeply understood that this spirit stone would become an important help in his cultivation path. But not yet, this remaining spirit stone, he has other uses, he can only make plans in the future.

At this time, Li Bufan was sitting cross-legged in the cave, he was not in a hurry to enter the cultivation state, but first sensed his own situation to see if he could continue to break through the bottleneck. Therefore, he stood still until a moment later, when he slowly woke up from his steady.

He later retreated at home for more than half a year, absorbing the aura in nearly ten spirit stones on the way, and at the same time, with the help of the jade pendant that accelerated the absorption of spiritual energy, he finally broke through the eighth layer of qi refining, and the time to break through this layer was more difficult than any previous layer, Li Bufan was also a little difficult, if it weren't for the spirit stone, and the help of that jade pendant, as far as he was concerned, it would not be as easy as half a year to break through the eighth layer of qi refining.

It is conceivable how poor his own talent is, but this is also the consistent situation of the human spirit root, among the human spirit roots, the people who can reach the foundation building, among the hundred people, there may only be about ten people, if it is a hundred heavenly spirit roots, then it is no longer possible to use the foundation to prevail, but a hundred golden pills, this is the gap in talent.

After Li Bufan's cultivation experience in the past few years, he found that this piece of jade pendant became more and more magical. If it is said that the three spiritual roots of heaven, earth and man have certain standards for the absorption and refining of spiritual energy, this standard determines the cultivation speed of cultivators, and the realm that can be broken through within a certain period of time, and the spiritual root limits their final realm, then this jade pendant can allow Li Bufan to break through the standard of human spiritual root and surpass his own limit, without a trace of side effects, jumping out of the human spiritual root.

And this discovery made Li Bufan even more sure that this jade pendant was not a mortal thing, although he also heard that there was a formation, called the Gathering Spirit Array, which could also absorb the surrounding spiritual energy on a large scale and accelerate cultivation, but this jade pendant was like a god's hand, directly ignoring his human spirit root, giving him the talent to surpass himself, although this speed is far less than the heavenly spirit root or the like, but this transcending human spirit root is already an incomparable surprise for him.

Now, he is a little grateful to the demon beast at the beginning, only looking for his own trouble, but giving himself such a treasure, he even wants to set up a monument for the demon beast, and pay tribute to it.

But these are all jokes, and if he does go, it will be known that he is a madman who erects a monument to monsters.

Therefore, it took Li Bufan a whole year later, and he barely broke through to the peak of the eighth layer of qi refining, and at this time, he already felt that his body was filled with a surging power like a tide. This power made him feel very comfortable, and it was very powerful.

With the breakthrough of the realm, his perception has also been greatly improved, even if he closes his eyes to the things around him, he can clearly feel it, whether it is growth or decay, he can detect it.

This is infinitely close to Zhao Wumian's perception ability, at least the effect is the same, but the scope of this ability is still a world of difference.

Li Bufan just meditated and cultivated silently at home, waiting for the opportunity to break through. But the effect is clumsy, if you want to break through the ninth layer of qi refining, it doesn't seem so simple, but it is true, from the seventh layer of qi refining, to the peak of the eighth layer of qi refining, it took him a full year and a half, if you want to break through the ninth layer of qi refining so easily, then there will be ghosts.

During the year and a half of his retreat, he also occasionally went out, because the sect sometimes organized a gong transmission conference for a new disciple like him, and a special master uncle, Feng Jing, taught them some simple techniques.

However, if it is Li Bufan, he should be called Senior Brother of Gong Chuan, after all, Li Bufan is also an elder's disciple, so he is the same generation as the person who passed on Gong.

Feng Jing is also kind, Li Bufan's relationship with him is also harmonious, and he will take care of Li Bufan from time to time when he is passing on his skills, and I heard him say that he is Zhao Wumian's friend, and I think Zhao Wumian asked Feng Jing to take care of Li Bufan.

And Li Bufan found that the aura in this Senior Brother Feng Jing's body was also very strong, and he was on a par with Zhao Wumian, and he was also a foundation building monk, so he interacted with him more carefully, this kind of character can only intersect, not please him.

After several transmission conferences, coupled with the practice from time to time after returning home, Li Bufan also learned a lot of basic techniques, such as the cloth void technique, which can make the feet walk off the ground and travel in all directions, and the speed is extremely fast. It greatly increased Li Bufan's speed, but this spell had a shortcoming, that is, the consumption of spiritual energy was extremely large, even with Li Bufan's current realm of refining qi at the eighth layer, it could only barely last for half an hour.

In addition to this, there are other spells, like what palm thunder, five thunder spells, water resistance, etc., are some basic attack techniques, among which the palm thunder is the most powerful in it, in Feng Jing's words, practicing this method can master the creation of thunder, and serve the heavens and the earth ghosts and gods, but that is to say, however, for the practice of this thunder method, Hu Xinyu of the thunder root was handy, and after this thunder method was used by him, the power was more than doubled, I am afraid this is the power of the heavenly spirit root.

The consumption of spiritual power by these spells is not large, but when the power reaches the hands of an ordinary spiritual root like Li Bufan, it is naturally not very significant. If you encounter a fight, this kind of spell is at most used to pull and consume with the enemy, if you want to use this trick to defeat the enemy, only those Tianling roots can do it, people like Li Bufan can only learn some more powerful spells.

Fortunately, Li Bufan had already learned the magic power of the Dead Yang Sword Technique, which could be regarded as making up for the shortcomings of his own attack, and there was not much demand for these thunder methods.

Among these spells, there is also a spell that Li Bufan likes the most, called the Gengtian Condensing Method, which greatly increases Li Bufan's spiritual power, and the need for rest is no longer too much, so that he has more time to practice, and at the same time, he can also focus more on things, this spell also makes Li Bufan's perception go to the next level. Being able to clearly perceive the other party's realm spiritual power is also a good technique to look at people in the future.

But during this period of passing on the gong, Li Bufan found that Hu Xinyu always looked at Li Bufan with a very contemptuous gaze, Li Bufan was very sure that this gaze was aimed at him, and seemed to look down on him, but Li Bufan admitted that he had not provoked Hu Xinyu, the two had nothing to do with each other, and he had never even said a word.

But with Li Bufan's character, he naturally won't confront Hu Xinyu head-on, or rather, he won't put his unhappiness on the bright side, or that sentence, he is not afraid of Hu Xinyu, or he can't beat him, he just doesn't want to cause trouble, after all, people just look at themselves, and there is no lack of meat, if it is because of this contradiction with him, he will not be reasonable.
