A hundred years ago, Shi Feng was still a minor monk at the third or fourth level of the Qi refining period, and when he was just starting out, he inadvertently had a small dispute with the children of the Zhao family in Fu Seal Fang in Liuyunfang City.

Although the other party was at a loss, and Shi Feng also apologized again and again, those people were still unrelenting, wantonly bullying and insulting. One of them even made a sudden move, and after severely injuring Shi Feng, he still refused to give up, and continued to take Shi Feng's life.

At that time, the old man surnamed Huang was already a cultivator in the late stage of the Qi refining period, and he was the shopkeeper of Fu Seal Fang, and when he saw Shi Feng being young, he couldn't help but feel unbearable, and saved Shi Feng at the last moment.

The children of the Zhao family originally had it in their hearts and deliberately made trouble.

The old man surnamed Huang undoubtedly stabbed the hornet's nest in this move, and the children of the Zhao family refused to give up, not only continued to attack Shi Feng, but also involved the old man surnamed Huang.

Unexpectedly, although the old man surnamed Huang was defeated by several family members, he was very popular in the casual cultivation, and in a fit of anger, he called on the many onlookers who were already indignant to deal with those family children together.

In the chaos, everyone rushed up, no matter how serious it was, in an instant, several children of the Zhao family were beaten to death!

At this time, it is undoubtedly a catastrophe.

Shi Feng felt guilty, no matter what, everyone made a move because of himself, and he wanted to apologize on the spot, in order to avoid everyone's trouble, but was forcibly stopped by the old man surnamed Huang.

hurriedly took care of his injuries, and prepared to flee Liuyunfang City with more than a dozen casual cultivators who shot together.

The children of the super immortal cultivation family were beaten to death by a group in Fang City, and the leader was still the shopkeeper of Fang City's Fu Seal Fang, and the person in charge of Liuyunfang City at that time was shocked, where was he willing to let them go.

Several foundation building period monks worked together to take them all down and prepare to hand them over to the Zhao family, hoping to appease their anger.

The group of people who were captured were naturally like ashes, and felt that they would be spared!

Unexpectedly, Chen Hong Ancestor suddenly came to Liuyunfang City at this time and heard about it by chance.

This provoked the later gathering of scattered cultivators and the war with the family alliance, and these dozen or so people also saved their lives.

The Zhao family's immortal cultivation family was destroyed, and Chen Hong's ancestor was in a happy mood, not only preached to many scattered cultivators in Liuyunfang City for three days, but also allowed Liuyunfang City to borrow his own name, so that Liuyunfang City was very prosperous.

For the dozen or so loose cultivators who had just started to beat up the children of the Zhao family, they were even more blue-eyed and highly praised. He generously rewarded each of them with a Zhuji Dan, and also solved their doubts about cultivation separately, which benefited these dozen people a lot.

Shi Feng and the old man surnamed Huang naturally bore the brunt, and the four old men in the previous hall were all among the rewards. Otherwise, even if they have acceptable qualifications, they may not be able to get the opportunity to build a foundation.

"Three Taoist friends, please inside, please inside..." The rest of the people also greeted warmly, inviting the three of them to enter.

......

Hao Feng naturally didn't know anything about the possible crisis in Fang City.

There was nothing to say all night, the sky was bright, and near noon, he walked out of the practice secret room with a slight frown. The mana fluctuations on his body were still at the peak realm of the eighth layer of the Qi Refining Period.

"Isn't it possible for Yang Yuan Dan to break through the shackles of the bottleneck?" Hao Feng whispered to himself as he walked.

It's not that Yang Yuan Dan has no effect, but no matter what, it can't break through the bottleneck of the eighth layer of the Qi refining period and enter the ninth layer realm.

The level of Yang Yuan Dan and Qi Dispersion is about the same, and if an ordinary Qi Refining Late Stage cultivator takes it for cultivation, he can at least last for a day and a night.

And this night, more than a dozen hours, Hao Feng has fully refined four Yang Yuan Pills.

This was the upper limit of the cultivation limit he set for taking this pill every day. Although he was not afraid of any residual medicinal power, he also knew that it was too much.

At the beginning, everything went smoothly in cultivation, and there was no resistance to medicine, and the huge pure spiritual energy produced by the Yang Yuan Dan entered the dantian to form a filament of spiritual power, and it was quickly contained in the mana qi mass that filled most of the dantian, and continued to condense.

As long as this mana qi mass grows again, it will be the time to enter the ninth layer of the qi refining period.

However, from the beginning of refining the third Yang Yuan Dan, the speed at which the mana qi mass contained the spiritual power qi filaments gradually slowed down. Hao Feng thought it was a precursor to breaking through the bottleneck, and hurriedly took another Yangyuan Pill, preparing to enter the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Period in one go.

Unexpectedly, after the refining of the medicinal power, he continued to impact the bottleneck, not only did he not show any signs of breakthrough, but he also felt a trace of abnormality in the dantian. Hao Feng hurriedly looked inside the dantian and found that the formed mana qi mass had been completely condensed and no longer contained any spiritual power qi.

After being completely condensed, the mana qi mass is different from before.

The former mana air mass is pale blue in color. Although it is still in a static state without urging mana, if you look closely with your divine sense, you can still feel a trace of mana fluctuation before continuing to condense.

But after it was completely condensed, not only did the color increase a little, but it was also like a mirror, not moving at all.

Hao Feng tried to urge the mana, there was no problem, it was more unimpeded and powerful than before.

But no matter how he urged the cultivation of the Fa Decision, the spiritual power qi filaments refined by the fourth Yang Yuan Pill were still only attached to the surface of the mana qi mass, and could not really be integrated into it, condensed again, and strengthened the mana qi mass.

The bottleneck is hard to open!

Regarding this situation, Hao Feng could only smile bitterly.

"It seems that the eighth-layer realm of the Qi Refining Period has reached the limit of mana improvement. If you can't break through the bottleneck, no matter how much elixir you take, it won't help!"

Hao Feng came to the small courtyard and thought about it while bringing some food to Xiao Hei.

It stands to reason that the bottleneck of a cultivator in the Qi refining period is nothing more than from the early stage to the middle stage, or from the middle stage to the late stage, these two small realm bottlenecks are relatively difficult to break through.

The rest, in the same small realm, as long as the mana accumulation is sufficient, the divine consciousness can also keep up with the realm, and they can basically enter the next level of exercises naturally.

Sometimes, mana and divine consciousness do not even fully meet the requirements for breakthrough, and the stimulation of unexpected situations may also enter the next level of exercises. Of course, this is hard to come by, and the chances of it happening are extremely small.

When Hao Feng broke through from the seventh layer to the eighth layer, it belonged to the latter situation. Although his divine sense was far exceeded, his mana had not yet fully reached the peak of the seventh layer, but he unexpectedly entered the eighth layer of the qi refining period.

"What's going on in the current situation?" Hao Feng couldn't figure it out.

His divine sense is beyond doubt, and even if he directly breaks through to the foundation building period, he will not pull back. But the mana had obviously reached the limit of the eighth layer realm ascension, but there was no sign of a breakthrough.

Could it be that the "Nine Veins Qi Cultivation Dafa" and the "Nine Turns Mixed Yuan Jue" internal strength and mental methods are ordinary, and the ninth layer realm will produce a qualitative leap, which is a big hurdle, so it is difficult to break through.

After thinking about it for a long time, he still had no clue, and Hao Feng suddenly came up with an idea that he felt was too coincidental.

But it's also possible to think about it. Although one is the cultivation of immortals and the other is the inner strength of the heart, the meridians and diameters of the cultivation of Shiyun Gong are completely the same.

It's just that one is used to cultivate mana, and the other is used to cultivate internal power.

As for why the predecessors of "Mo Chongxiao" did not mention this, it is not difficult to understand.

Although the "Nine Yuan Holy Decision" is the original creation of the predecessors of "Mo Chongxiao", the details of the exercises are all reasoned in detail. But after all, he hadn't personally cultivated, and it was reasonable that he hadn't fully expected any other twists and turns or mysteries that would occur in the cultivation process.

"Let's take one step at a time!" Hao Feng was not confident in his thoughts.

"Maybe it's just a little chance, maybe you can break through tonight?" "Since you can't figure it out, there's no need to dwell on this matter. Shaking his head, Hao Feng washed up and ate some leftover food from last night, planning to rest first.

After a night of cultivation, he also felt a little tired.

In the afternoon, Hao Feng got up and practiced the meteor body method in the small courtyard for a while, feeling refreshed, and the exhaustion was swept away, and he left the residence with Xiao Hei.

During this period of time, he was busy with alchemy, but he suffocated Xiao Hei. Today is rarely free, he is going to take Xiao Hei out for a walk, and also inquire about some news by the way.

Liuyunfang City is obviously a little turbulent. What is the matter with those children of the family and the scattered cultivators who came to Fang City? Without figuring it out, it is difficult for Hao Feng to feel at ease. He didn't want to get himself involved in a storm because of the lack of information, and there would be an accident like a restaurant.

When he came to the street, Hao Feng found that compared with the past, the flow of people in Fang Market has increased dramatically, and many new faces have appeared, and they should have just arrived in Fang Market today.

The new monks were both men, women, and children, most of whom were casual cultivators, but a small half were obviously family members. These monks went in groups of three or five, constantly going in and out of the shops.

This is obviously something big about to happen, and I don't know anything about it, this kind of mistake is simply unforgivable. Seeing this situation, Hao Feng was annoyed and secretly scolded himself for being careless.

In fact, this is not entirely to blame him, he didn't get the news in time, of course, it was caused by him being busy refining Yangyuan Dan during this time and having no time to take care of him, but the ban order issued by the high-level of Liuyunfang City to the people in the Fang City who knew was the main reason.

The group of people he saw last night were just the first people who got news from the outside world and hurried in.

Just when Hao Feng was annoyed, the monks of the foundation building period of Liuyunfang City gathered in the council hall again. And there are two more men and two women, who should have just arrived today, and two of them are in the middle of foundation building.

Fourteen foundation-building monks gathered together.

However, this time, it was Shi Feng sitting in the center, and the old man surnamed Kun and the female cultivator surnamed Chu sat on the left and right. Obviously, this deliberation should focus on these three people.

The old man surnamed Huang sat a little lower, although he was the person in charge of Liuyunfang City elected by everyone, but the immortal cultivation world was respected by strength after all. With three monks in the late stage of foundation building, he was naturally no longer fit to preside over the proceedings.

The rest, including the two mid-foundation monks who had just arrived, sat opposite the four in turn.
