"Let's eat, let's eat" A familiar voice in the distance interrupted Ding Zhengyi's memories, and in a blink of an eye, his mother Wu was standing in front of her bamboo building and beckoning to him.

Mother Wu is from the Wu Xiuzhen family a hundred miles away, and the comprehensive strength of the Wu family is much weaker than that of the Ding family.

Mother's cultivation qualifications are comparable to those of her father, but her cultivation is lower than that of her father, and her personality is much more pungent than that of her honest father.

"It's coming, it's coming", Ding Zhengyi responded loudly, picked up the classics on the couch casually, straightened the hair that was blown away by the wind and walked towards the bamboo building.

As my mother walked into the dining hall, she saw several dishes on the table in the dining hall, including verdant stir-fried bamboo shoots and fragrant crucian carp soup.

"It's been a few months since Yi'er practiced the third layer of Qi training, this Yellow Bud Pill may be able to help you break through the bottleneck," his father sat at the dining table, and handed Ding Zhengyi a milky white Dan bottle with a warm luster as he spoke.

"This pill can cost your father a lot of family contribution points, you have to have the certainty of a breakthrough before taking it, don't waste it," the mother turned her head to Ding Zhengyi while serving the meal.

"The qualifications of Yi'er's Five Spiritual Tips, after just four years of cultivation, have reached the third level of Qi training, and their comprehension of cultivation is naturally not bad, and they should know that the opportunity to break through the bottleneck often passes in a flash, so it is better to waste the pill than to miss such an opportunity" Although Ding Zhongyuan's qualifications are not good, after all, he is a mid-stage Qi cultivation cultivator who has been in the world for a long time, and he is quite familiar with the points of cultivation, but after saying this, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Wu's appearance, which really lowered his image a lot.

"I know a lot, then why are you still in the middle of Qi cultivation after more than 20 years of cultivation" The mother stared at her father fiercely, and pulled Xiao Qiu, who was carrying a stool on the side, to sit on the other side of the dining table.

Xiaoqiu is the daughter of an ordinary steward of the Ding family, and her father is a descendant of a loose cultivator who took refuge in the Ding family as a guest in the early years, although he has no cultivation qualifications, but he manages a farm for the family that can supply food for thousands of ordinary people, and is quite valued by the family.

By Xiaoqiu's generation, there have been five generations of their family serving the Ding family, and this kind of family that depends on the Xiuzhen family to survive is the so-called "family child".

Although the status of Xiaoqiu's family is higher than that of ordinary people from the Ding family, he was still sent by his father to be a maid in the Ding family's branch when he was young.

Xiaoqiu, who had completed the enlightenment education and basic training, had just turned ten years old and was arranged by the Ding family to take care of Ding Zhengyi's daily life, because at that time, Ding Zhengyi had tested the cultivation qualification of the Five Spiritual Skills.

The little girl is thirteen years old this year, although she has been in Ding Zhengyi's house for less than three years, but because she is smart and clever, and a year ago, she actually detected forty-nine spiritual networks, and the cultivation qualifications of the three spiritual knots have been treated as half a daughter by Ding Zhengyi's mother, and the title of Young Master Yi has naturally been changed to Brother Yi.

"Brother Yi is very powerful, he knows everything, and the family elders of the clan all praise him for being smart!" Xiao Qiu saw that Ding Zhengyi was also a little helpless about his parents, so he hurriedly pulled the Wu family's sleeve and interjected.

"Then you can't be complacent, and Xiaoqiu, you are about to practice qi into your body, and there are always not too many cultivation resources", Wu Shi's mouth still kept talking, but there was a smile on his face.

"Yi'er eats a little more Lingmi today, and has been polishing it for a while in the third layer of perfection, if you are sure, you will strive to break through the bottleneck today," the father picked up the rice bowl and took a few bites of rice, and said vaguely.

"Anyway, there are not many sixteen-year-old mid-stage Qi cultivation cultivators in the entire family, do you say that the clan will give rewards?"

"There should be, the last time the starling family's little fifteen broke through the middle stage of Qi training, he was nineteen years old, and the family gave a lot of rewards," the father responded, and continued to bury his head in his mouth and pull the food into his mouth.

Mother Wu nodded with satisfaction and began to eat.

After eating in a hurry, Ding Zhengyi said hello to his parents and Xiaoqiu, who were cleaning up the dishes, chopsticks, tables and chairs, and walked towards the cultivation retreat room on the second floor.

Due to the terrain restrictions, the land of more than ten zhang square is not suitable for reclamation into a spiritual field for cultivation, so a courtyard for the cultivation and life of the descendants was built.

The bamboo building as a whole is built with low-level purple spirit bamboo, covering a small area, north and south compartments, east and west four rooms, the ground floor is the living room, kitchen, dining hall and study, the second floor is two cultivation meditation rooms with simple protective formations, and the others are bedrooms.

Although monks can theoretically use meditation as an alternative to sleeping, Qi cultivators will inevitably need some sleep if they want to regain their energy because they can practice for a relatively short period of time every day.

In front of the left side of the bamboo building is a small piece of purple spirit bamboo, which belongs to the same low-level spirit bamboo as the snow-spotted bamboo outside the family ancestral hall. The breeze rustled the lilac bamboo leaves, and among the hundreds of dense and verdant purple spirit bamboos was a path paved with gravel, which led to the spirit animal pen not far away.

There is a small lotus pond in front of the right side, the lotus leaves are dotted with some white lotus flowers sporadically, from time to time send wisps of fragrance, a few green crucian carp occasionally burst out under the lotus leaves, and the little ripples are spread on the water surface of the lotus pond; on the edge of the lotus pond is a plane tree that is several zhang high, and under the tree are the rocking chairs and small couches that Ding Zhengyi has just sat on.

Smelling the faint fragrance of the lotus flowers, Ding Zhengyi walked into the cultivation meditation room leisurely and slowly opened the protective formation in the meditation room.

When a monk is cultivating, the aura entering the body stage must not be disturbed by the outside world, otherwise the aura disorder may damage the physical body, at least the meridians will be broken, and the dantian will be injured.

Therefore, when the family asked the formation mages of the Xuanshan Sect to arrange a large array for the spiritual veins that integrated functions such as early warning, monitoring, and spirit gathering, they also used some remaining spiritual materials to arrange a simple protective magic circle for the cultivation meditation room of the monks of the Yanzhi family.

These formations use the aura in the spiritual veins as the energy for the formation to operate, but the protective ability is very weak, and they can barely resist two or three fireball techniques during the qi training period, which can only serve as a warning.

With the opening of the protective formation, a transparent film emerged from the wall of the meditation room, Ding Zhengyi thought about it, touched a few spirit stones and was busy in the meditation room for a long time, and arranged a low-level spirit gathering array.

Since he stumbled and arranged the Spirit Gathering Array in the clan science to this day, because of the lack of spirit stones, he has not been able to really use it in cultivation, and this time Ding Zhengyi pondered that even if it can add a trace of hope for a breakthrough, it is worth trying.

Then light a Tranquility Spirit Incense, this Spiritual Incense is made by adding several kinds of spirit wood powder to the low-level Tranquility Herb produced by the family, although they are all the lowest level cultivation materials, but this Spirit Incense is also worth at least one spirit stone.

There are very few juniors in the family who can take it out and use it, and this kind of spiritual incense plays a role in reassuring and calming the mind in cultivation, preventing the monk from exhausting the soul and reducing the efficiency of refining the spiritual energy by running the exercises for a long time.

Inserting the incense into the incense burner, Ding Zhengyi sat on a futon woven with Jingshen grass. With the eyes hanging down the curtain, the chest and back pulled, the tongue against the palate, the legs overlapping up and down, the palms of the hands upwards, placed on the knees, the divine consciousness guides the pure vitality emanating from the spiritual rice to flow to the whole body spiritual network, and the spiritual network is warmed in advance.

The spiritual network in the cultivator's body is very delicate and cannot withstand the infusion of heaven and earth aura for a long time, and ordinary cultivators in the early stage of qi cultivation can only absorb and refine the heaven and earth aura for half an hour every day, otherwise the spiritual network will be damaged. And after the spiritual meridian is nourished by the pure yuan temperature in the spiritual rice, the time for absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can be extended to more than two hours every day.

After the spiritual meridian was nourished by the pure yuan temperature in the spiritual rice, the spiritual veins became more and more crystalline, and after reaching the extreme, Ding Zhengyi began to run the "Qingyuan Decision", and suddenly the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around his body rushed into the unobstructed spiritual veins in his body like a spirit bee that smelled nectar, because of the relationship between the newly arranged spiritual gathering array, the spiritual energy absorbed by Ding Zhengyi at this time increased by three layers compared to usual.

The aura of heaven and earth is transported along each spiritual network to the corresponding spiritual aperture, and the spiritual aperture refines it into vitality, and a large amount of waste qi is exhaled from the mouth and nose, forming a long white mist, and the remaining spiritual qi is only one-tenth or twelfth of the spiritual qi of heaven and earth.

After refining, these vitality is equivalent to being branded as a monk, and under the guidance of the divine sense, it flows to the dantian through the two veins of Ren and Du, and there are currently three small cyclones in Ding Zhengyi's dantian, representing the cultivation of the three layers of his qi training.

The sign of breaking through to the fourth level of Qi training is to squeeze and fuse three small cyclones into one medium cyclone. The sixth layer of Qi training, like the third layer of Qi training, is to cultivate three cyclones, and then squeeze and fuse them into an atmospheric cyclone, which means entering the late stage of Qi training.

Without thinking about it any further, Ding Zhengyi used his divine sense to introduce the vitality in the dantian into the three small cyclones with difficulty, and the speed at which the vitality merged was very slow, and he couldn't even feel it.

The vitality obtained from the refining of the spiritual aperture kept rushing into the dantian, and a large amount of vitality slowly escaped outward in the dantian because it could not be integrated into the small cyclone, and this situation had lasted for several months in Ding Zhengyi's cultivation.

When the vitality was rich to the extreme, there was still no sign of fusion of the three small cyclones, and at this time, the dantian had been supported with a faint pain.

Ding Zhengyi decisively took out the pill bottle and poured out a little finger-sized, yellow and clear pill, which was the Yellow Bud Pill commonly used to assist Qi cultivators in their cultivation. Ding Zhengyi's cultivation is still the first time to take an elixir, this small elixir is worth more than ten lower-grade spirit stones, and only the Xuanshan Sect in Xuanshan can refine it.

A faint medicinal fragrance penetrated into the body, and the vitality in the dantian seemed to tremble slightly.

A small bottleneck like Ding Zhengyi encountered, with his qualifications of the Five Spiritual Skills, it would take at least half a year to break through by relying on water grinding kung fu.

The qualifications above the Seven Spiritual Tricks will hardly have a bottleneck during the Qi training period, and the quality of the qualifications directly reflects how far the road forward can go, and directly distinguishes the life level of people into several levels.

Putting aside these chaotic thoughts, taking advantage of the opportunity when the Tranquility Spirit Incense made the soul excited, Ding Zhengyi hurriedly swallowed the elixir in his hand. The pill melted in its mouth, and the divine sense guided this "Jinjin Jade Liquid" to rush straight down the dantian, and the almost stagnant vitality in the dantian suddenly became active, and the fusion with the small cyclone was significantly accelerated.

As the vitality continues to merge, the three small cyclones flicker, expand and contract, and slowly converge, which is exactly the sign of imminent breakthrough described in the exercises.

Ding Zhengyi didn't have time to be happy, so he hurriedly increased his divine consciousness to continuously oppress and guide the vitality to wrap the cyclone.

With the passage of time, when most of the vitality accumulated in the dantian was consumed, the three small cyclones finally made a "bang" sound at the same time, this sound seemed to be in the dantian, but its sound was long and soft, as if it could penetrate the soul, as if it was awakening to the top, and in an instant, Ding Zhengyi's whole person was like soaking in the hot spring, extremely comfortable, and inadvertently let out a moan of "um".

After a lot of hardships, I finally broke through to the middle stage of Qi training!

Compared with the early stage of Qi training, Ding Zhengyi's sense was more acute at this time, and the cyclone in the dantian that was larger than the original under his divine consciousness could faintly see a wisp of flocculent impurities in it, which should be the erysipelas that the elders in the clan science talked about, and it would take some time to slowly refine it with the pure vitality in the spiritual rice.

After continuing to run the exercises to absorb the remaining vitality in the dantian, Ding Zhengyi slowly withdrew the divine consciousness concentrated in the dantian, stopped running the exercises, dispersed the remaining spiritual energy in the spiritual network, and slowly let go of his legs and stood up.

The spirit incense in the quiet room had been extinguished, and most of the spirit stones used to arrange the spirit gathering array had been consumed, but it was all worth it, because this breakthrough represented that Ding Zhengyi had stepped into a new level of cultivation.
