There were more than a hundred spirit stones that Gu Zuo threw to Ding Jiugu, which was calculated according to his own cultivation progress. He broke through the realm into the late stage, and the spirit stones he absorbed were a little more than three hundred, and Ding Jiugu was still one or twenty pieces short of it, and he planned to overflow with true qi in eight months to the early stage, and then choose the opportunity to break through the realm.

But the truth greatly exceeded his expectations, just two days later, the corresponding Ding Jiugu true qi in Gu Zuoqi's sea changed, from indifferent true qi to thick like honey, which was a sign of breaking through the realm and entering the later stage.

Ding Jiugu actually broke through the realm!

The content of this trace of true qi is still a little short of the two spirit stones, that is to say, Ding Jiugu absorbed one hundred and eighty to one hundred and ninety spirit stones, and then broke through the realm.

Gu Zuo hurried over to ask, Ding Jiugu was also a little confused, and she didn't dare to tell the teacher when she broke through the realm, she was checking the meridians repeatedly at the moment, wondering what was wrong with her.

"What happened when you broke through, or what made you break out of the realm suddenly?"

"The disciple didn't know that as soon as he absorbed this spirit stone, he broke through the realm, and nothing happened, the disciple was lying on the couch at the time, and his eyes didn't ......."

"What do you think?"

“...... No...... Is there something wrong? Why don't you check it out for the disciple again?"

Saying that, Ding Jiugu let go of the sea of qi, Gu Zuo went in directly, and walked around, sure enough, the real qi was like honey, which was completely a symptom of the late stage of qi refining.

Gu Zuo comforted her: "It's okay, everything is fine, don't worry, you go on retreat...... By the way, now go ahead and see how long it takes for a spirit stone to take. ”

The time it took for Ding Jiugu to absorb a spirit stone this time was shortened to twenty-two hours, two hours less than the initial stage, and Gu Zuo calculated that when she was in the early stage of foundation building, it would be twenty hours, four hours more than Li Gusheng.

If Ding Jiugu continued to use this data to increase his cultivation speed, it would take eighteen hours in the later stage of foundation building in the future, and when he reached the Realm Breaking Golden Pill, it would be sixteen hours, three hours more than the time it took the butcher.

Drawing three curves of the cultivation time of the three of them absorbing spirit stones, Li Gusheng's cultivation speed is faster than that of the butcher, and the butcher is faster than Ding Jiugu, which is positively correlated with their respective talents and qualifications.

Next, I will speculate on the cultivation speed of several inner disciples, if they are also in the late stage of breaking through the realm of one hundred and eighty to one hundred and ninety, Chen Mianhua will also be the first to break through the realm when he enters the cultivation realm, followed by Yang Baolong, then the martial artist Niu Ye found in the pit, and finally Liu Xiaoqi.

And Gu Zuo can also calculate the approximate time when they will break the realm, if they continue to retreat, Chen Mianhua will be in September next year, Yang Baolong will be the same as him, Niu Ye will be in October next year, and Liu Xiaoqi will be in November next year.

As for Gu Zuo himself, he chose not to put himself in the sample control group, he is the founder of the mountain, it must be different, isn't it?

It's definitely different, well, it's definitely different!

Neither the butcher nor Li Gusheng's breakthrough realm could bring Gu Zuo valuable reference data before—because they were already in a state of perfection in their respective exercises, and now Ding Jiugu's data was extremely valuable for reference.

The sea of qi cultivated by searching for spiritual true qi has a much larger capacity than other exercises, this is a fact that himself, the butcher, and Li Gusheng have all concluded, Ding Jiugu used the true qi of nearly two hundred spirit stones to break through the realm, this is understandable, but why does he need three hundred?

Is it because his own qi sea is greater? Or is it that Ding Jiugu, the butcher, and Li Gusheng wasted a lot of spirit stones when they were cultivating?

If it was the latter reason, why did you waste so much spiritual power?

Gu Zuo couldn't solve these problems for the time being, so he could only continue to cultivate and wait for more and updated sample data to appear.

But he is a little anxious now, if the situation continues to develop like this, the cultivation of all the disciples of the Huaixian Pavilion will gradually surpass him, as a senior uncle, he will gradually come to the bottom, do you say that it is not a shame?

In order not to be ashamed, Gu Zuo once again made up his mind to recruit the second phase of disciples, on the one hand, he could exploit their true qi and improve his cultivation, and on the other hand, he could also expand the strength of the Huaixian Pavilion and even Southern Wu Prefecture.

In the last phase, fifty disciples were recruited, and the three-month retreat period helped him absorb fifteen spirit stones, and now he is still providing him with two or three spirit stones every month.

He plans to recruit 250 people in this period, and there should be no problem based on the number of people who have poured into Nanwu Prefecture. After being recruited, it was also a three-month retreat and assault practice, and then the dwarf pulled out the general and brought together thirty inner disciples.

In this way, within three months, he paid 8,000 spirit stones, and he could harvest the true qi of 80 spirit stones, increasing the true qi of his later stage of foundation building to 180 pieces. After three months, when the second phase of the retreat is over, you can also obtain a stable amount of fifteen spirit stones of true qi every month.

If you work harder and spend half of your daily time on cultivation, it is expected that in April or May next year, you will be able to enter the Qi Refining Perfection Realm.

For others, cultivation is a matter of talent, hard work, perception, and even philosophy, but for Gu Zuo, it seems to be more like a mathematical problem.

With sufficient financial support, Gu Zuo thought of it, Li Gusheng was leading his disciples to refine the Great Yan Sword, and he couldn't spare his hands to teach the Fa, so he could only go to the butcher to accept the disciples, but fortunately, the process of teaching the Fa would not take a few days.

The whole process is exactly the same as when the first batch of disciples was recruited, but compared to the last time, the applicants for the exam are like crucian carp crossing the river, from the outside of the South Compound to the bottom of the mountain.

The reason is also very simple, the Jindan monks openly accept disciples, and there are no age and gender requirements, and the number of places is sufficient, at the time of the siege of the beast tide, who doesn't want to quickly learn some self-defense skills?

Of the more than 3,000 people who poured into Nanwu Prefecture, more than 1,500 people came to line up, and more than 380 people who finally tested their natural qualifications far exceeded expectations, once again confirming the statement that the people of Southern Xinjiang are talented.

But then again, these more than 380 people are really a bit miserable, except for most of the poor talents, the old and weak women and children account for more than half, the youngest is only thirteen years old, the highest is sixty-six, and many of them go up the mountain on crutches.

Gu Zuo gritted his teeth and accepted all the orders, causing various sects to frequently look sideways and discuss. Gu Zuo's response was that at this time of crisis, Southern Wuzhou spared no expense and did not give up any of its strength, no matter whether there was a future in cultivation in the future, at least one early stage of qi refining was better than a flat-headed common man, wasn't it?

This statement was recognized, and there was a lot of praise, although most people were waiting to see the joke.

Gu Zuo didn't care what others thought, and immediately asked Husi to apply for naturalization for them - if you want to apprentice, you must be naturalized, this is a hard rule, and at the same time raise spirit stones, prepare 12,000 yuan, which is really a big deal, and once again consumed most of the inventory spirit stones in the Huaixian Pavilion.
