The meal was finished in this oppressive atmosphere, and Wu took Xiaoqiu to silently clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

However, Xiaoqiu seemed to be unusually familiar with the environment, pulling Wu to chatter non-stop.

Her crisp voice echoed in the cafeteria, diluting the lingering boredom and causing the atmosphere around her to gradually ease.

Ding Zhongyuan touched his chin as if he was still pondering, there was no trace of wetness in his eyes at the moment, but there was an expression of surprise and joy on his face, obviously there was still a war between heaven and man in his heart.

"Yi'er, do you think I can break through the bottleneck in the middle of Qi cultivation this time?"

Just when Ding Zhengyi wanted to open his mouth to persuade him a few more words, Ding Zhongyuan preemptively said.

"Father, you have been staying at the peak of the sixth layer of qi cultivation for several years, and you have the experience of hitting the bottleneck many times, this time with the help of the elixir, you will definitely be able to enter the late stage of qi cultivation in one fell swoop!"

Ding Zhengyi said categorically.

In fact, Ding Zhengyi knew in his heart that his father's qualifications were too far-fetched, and even with the assistance of pills, the chance of breaking through was not too high.

It's just that cultivating to the late stage of Qi cultivation is my father's only dream, and it can even be said to be a lifelong wish, so he persistently meditates and practices Qi regardless of the daily fatigue in Lingtian.

And breaking through the bottleneck pays attention to one go, if the father does not break the kettle and sink the boat, the mentality of moving forward will definitely be difficult to make an inch.

With his father's hesitant state now, the possibility of advancement is close to nothing, and Ding Zhengyi has to cheer him up so that he can move forward bravely and work hard.

Although what Ding Zhengyi said seemed like self-deception, after reading through the classics, he knew that sometimes this kind of power hinted in his heart was likely to bring unimaginable energy.

"Really?"

The hesitant expression on Ding Zhongyuan's face gradually faded, but his tone still revealed half-belief.

"I've heard the patriarch say that the Dragon Beard Pill has a miraculous effect on breaking through the bottleneck in the middle stage of Qi cultivation, and it is much better than the Silver Silk Pill. ”

With a mysterious look on his face, Ding Zhengyi whispered to his father that in order to give Ding Zhongyuan enough confidence, he did not hesitate to borrow Ding Changming's name.

"I'll just say, how can you be so sure. ”

Ding Zhongyuan had the same expression, and his doubts were significantly reduced when he spoke.

"Even so, father, you have to adjust your condition and do your best. ”

Ding Zhengyi knew that it was too much, and reminded it in time.

"I'll take it seriously. ”

Ding Zhongyuan was not carried away by Ding Zhengyi's previous news, he knew what this impact bottleneck meant to him, and his concise answer was full of unhesitating determination.

"In addition, father, when you are ready to break through, I will use spirit stones to arrange a spirit gathering array for you, the effect is very good, Xiaoqiu and I both broke through like this. ”

Ding Zhengyi also became serious at this time and said seriously.

Although Ding Zhongyuan's belief has become much stronger with Ding Zhengyi's encouragement, it is still a bit illusory after all, and Ding Zhengyi will not forget the real help of the Spirit Gathering Array.

Ding Zhengyi even wanted to use medium-grade spirit stones to arrange the spirit gathering array, so as to increase the probability of Ding Zhongyuan's breakthrough.

It's just that it's too unrealistic to use all medium-grade spirit stones, not to mention that medium-grade spirit stones are precious and abnormal, and it's not easy to get, even if he can get them, he doesn't dare to expect them with his current economic strength.

However, it is still possible to fight for a medium-grade spirit stone at the eye of the array, compared with all the low-grade spirit stones, there must be a difference in the concentration of spiritual energy.

Ding Zhengyi thought about it and went to his grandfather to find a way to see if he could exchange it for a medium-grade spirit stone.

"Got it, I'll let you know when it's ready. ”

Ding Zhongyuan waved his hand, signaled to Ding Zhengyi, stood up and greeted the Wu family, and couldn't wait to walk out.

Looking at the back of Ding Zhongyuan leaving, Ding Zhengyi felt that his father's broad back seemed to be a little taller than usual, and his steps were a lot more vigorous.

It wasn't until the footsteps on the stairs disappeared that Ding Zhengyi made a gesture with his mother and Xiaoqiu, and then went out upstairs and returned to his cultivation retreat.

Sitting on the futon in the quiet room, Ding Zhengyi found that the suppressed emotions were still about to move, and the state at this time was still not suitable for meditation and cultivation, which made him quite unaccustomed to practicing hard every day, and he was a little at a loss.

After looking around, Ding Zhengyi thought for a moment, reached into his arms, and took out all the silver wolf talisman pens and formation books from the storage bag.

Since he couldn't take the risk of cultivating, refining the intermediate rune pen and flipping through the formation books was naturally his best choice.

In the next two days, in addition to maintaining the basic body forging cultivation, Ding Zhengyi completely put down all his daily cultivation tasks, and began to concentrate on refining the silver wolf talisman pen, occasionally flipping through the formation law book, and the chaotic emotions gradually calmed down.

Moreover, the refining speed of the intermediate talisman made Ding Zhengyi very satisfied, and the refining efficiency was several times higher than that of the talisman jade pendant, which was also an intermediate magic weapon.

This should be the convenience brought by the powerful divine soul, in just two days, this silver wolf rune pen has almost been refined by him.

And that formation law book also did not disappoint Ding Zhengyi.

Although, as the patriarch said, in addition to the foundation of the formation, there are only two kinds of formations, the Spirit Gathering Array and the Psychedelic Array, but the rich annotations are every word, so that Ding Zhengyi is like an enlightenment, and all the confusion left over from the previous arrangement of the hidden array is easily solved.

Ding Zhengyi simply spent a small amount of time trying to arrange the concealment formation a few times, and obviously felt a lot easier, and no longer had that sense of obscurity.

The opening of the next concealment array also verified his breakthrough in formation, and after adjusting the position of the formation flag several times, he was finally able to barely keep the concealment array running, which made Ding Zhengyi overjoyed.

All that's left is to practice more, as long as you integrate what you have learned this time, there will be no more obstacles to the arrangement of the hidden array in the future.

Taking advantage of the excitement brought about by the progress of the formation, Ding Zhengyi scrutinized the psychedelic array in this formation book again.

Psychedelic array is a basic formation, as the name suggests, it is used to confuse the mind of monks.

Under the influence of the formation, the monk will be amplified by a dark energy that will magnify various emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and fear, until people fall into it and find it difficult to extricate themselves.

However, the psychedelic array has little effect on the monks with strong willpower, and when the monks in the array are threatened, their own induction will prompt them to wake up instantly, and they have time to deal with various unexpected situations, so this formation is far less widely used than the hidden array.

But Ding Zhengyi is quite optimistic about the special role contained in the psychedelic array.

At present, he is preparing to select suitable peers and use the family's "reward" to cultivate, but he can completely rely on himself to screen, which is too laborious and time-consuming, and there will inevitably be mistakes and omissions.

If the limited cultivation resources are wasted due to a mistake in judgment, then Ding Zhengyi will not only live up to the expectations of the patriarch, but may also bury hidden dangers in the future team building.

Just as Ding Zhengyi was planning to learn the psychedelic array in one go, news came from Ding Zhongyuan's side that he had made all the preparations before breaking through.
