Chapter 100: Bottlenecks
More than ten days later, in a mountain range three or four hundred miles away from Yangzhou City, Han Ming rode a jujube red horse and galloped.
At this time, he had already sent the three sisters of the Feng family into Yangzhou City safely, and the three sisters had also found their uncle, so they no longer had to worry about being chased and killed by the people of the Lingzhou Dark Spirit Gate.
After Han Ming sent the three sisters of the Feng family into Yangzhou City, he stayed in Yangzhou City for a few days, after all, he finally arrived at a large city, and it was still not in line with Han Ming's character if he didn't replenish the loss of medicine on his body.
A few days before staying in Yangzhou City, Feng Jingyi sent people to woo Han Ming several times, which really made Han Ming annoyed for a while, and Han Ming, who was bored in the next few days, simply hid in Yangzhou City and did not contact the people of the Feng family at all, and finally the Feng family thought that Han Ming had left Yangzhou, so they extinguished the idea of wooing him.
Yangzhou is worthy of being a famous large city, and Han Ming has gained a lot in Yangzhou City in those days, not only making up for the loss of the previous medicine, but also allowing him to find a lot of precious medicinal materials and prepare two or three kinds of Qimen pills.
In addition, Han Ming had also accidentally purchased a relatively comprehensive map of Jiangguo, and it was only then that he discovered that the Ascending Star Range was much larger than he had imagined, and what he had previously thought was just the periphery of the real Ascending Star Range.
The main part of the real Ascending Star Range is extremely dangerous, and mortals basically can't get close to it, even first-class Jianghu masters don't dare to go deep into the Ascending Star Range. Someone once said that he saw a centipede two feet long in the Ascending Star Mountain Range, and the centipede bit a long-famous master of the rivers and lakes with one mouth.
Han Ming's heart was a little uncertain when he heard these rumors, this Ascending Star Mountain Range was so strange, that side showed that he was not looking for the wrong place, after all, how could the Immortal Gate let mortals get close! But he was also a little worried, he didn't want to die in the mouth of the beast before he found the Immortal Gate, after all, he didn't believe that the centipede that grew to two feet was an ordinary beast, not a demon beast that could devour immortal cultivators.
After staying in Yangzhou for a few days, Han Ming bought a horse and went in one direction, and he didn't plan to pass through Yuezhou again, but directly took the path towards the Rising Star Mountain Range.
As for Liu Erzizi, Han Ming left him in Yangzhou, and now that he has that map, he doesn't need Liu Erlezi as a guide. When Han Ming left, he detoxified Liu Er's leprosy, and left some silver money for him, which can be regarded as the reward for these dozens of days, but Han Ming did not lose his trust.
And Liu Erlezi took a large amount of silver money left by Han Ming, and immediately thanked Han Ming for his kindness, these money are just dung for Han Ming, and they are of no use, but for Liu Erle, it is a decade of wealth and glory, so that he will never do anything to steal chickens and dogs in the future, and he will become a man all of a sudden.
Having tasted the benefits of following Han Ming, Liu Er's leper actually wanted Han Ming to poison him again, and wanted to follow Han Ming all the time, and always help Han Ming run errands, which suddenly made Han Ming a little speechless.
Of course, Han Ming refused verbally, he didn't want to take Liu Er's leper with him, he was completely blocking himself.
Han Ming found an unusually hidden cave in the nearby mountains, and after laying some small warning mechanisms around, he turned around and walked towards the cave, but before he entered the cave, he turned around and came back, and laid a faint layer of poisonous miasma in place, and then he entered the cave with peace of mind.
"I'm really timid. Han Ming laughed at himself.
"But it doesn't hurt to be careful. Han Ming comforted himself again.
After entering the cave, Han Ming chose a clean and flat place to sit cross-legged, and then took out a small porcelain vase from his arms.
The pill in this porcelain bottle was the pill he had prepared with the 400-year-old herb ginseng, and it was the basis for him to hit the six-layer bottleneck this time.
Han Ming wanted to take the prepared pills in Yangzhou City before, but he was a little worried about his safety, after all, there were dragons and snakes in Yangzhou City, and there were all kinds of people, so he really couldn't give him a sense of security.
Han Ming thought carefully before deciding to go to the mountains outside Yangzhou City first, looking for a secluded place to break through the bottleneck, after all, the mountains were basically inaccessible, even if something happened, the room for maneuver was much larger, so he had no scruples.
It took Han Ming more than half a day to adjust the state of his body to the best, ready to do his best to attack the bottleneck of the sixth layer. He calmed down for a moment, turned over his hand and poured out a pill, swallowed it as soon as he raised his head, and then directly closed his eyes and ran the nameless magic trick in his body.
After the pill was swallowed by Han Ming, it turned into a stream of heat after a few breaths, which made Han Ming can't help but snort, and at this time he felt as if there was a fire in his stomach scorching his internal organs.
"The medicinal properties of the four-hundred-year-old herb ginseng are really more than a little stronger. Han Ming secretly thought that at this time, his face was flushed, and there were constant bubbling hot swells on the top of his head, looking like he was being roasted.
Han Ming sped up the operation of the nameless magic technique, constantly transforming the heat flow in his abdomen into streams of pure mana, which were then stored in the dantian.
When Han Ming converted all the heat flow in his abdomen into mana, his dantian was already full of mana, even his meridians had stored a large amount of mana.
After being sure that all the medicinal properties of the pill had been absorbed, Han Ming tried his best to stabilize the mana in his body, for fear that these mana would go out of control and blow him up.
Han Ming calmed down again, then gritted his teeth violently and urged the mana in the meridians to go towards the center of the dantian, and suddenly the mana in his dantian began to become unstable.
"Ahh Han Ming spurted out a mouthful of blood violently, and he fainted directly, the mana in his dantian instantly lost control, and the mana that was squeezed in the dantian rushed frantically along the dantian towards the meridians, and then continued to wreak havoc in Han Ming's body, until it slowly dispersed for several hours.
Five or six hours later, Han Ming woke up slowly, and then he found that all the mana obtained from transforming Baicao Pill before had dissipated, but he was not too surprised, if the realm did not go up, the excess mana in his body would quickly dissipate.
"It was so dangerous just now! If it weren't for the fact that Hua Lao nourished the meridians with poison before, and I have been paying attention to protecting the meridians, the ravages of mana in the meridians would have killed me just now. Han Ming wiped the blood from his mouth, and muttered to himself with some palpitations.
Han Ming shook his head and continued to meditate on his knees to breathe, and after about half an hour, his state was at its best again.
Han Ming raised his head and swallowed another pill without thinking about it, he felt a stream of heat appear in his body again, and Han Ming didn't dare to slack off and transform these medicinal properties with a nameless mouth.
After about three or four hours, Han Ming woke up leisurely again: "Failed again!"
Han Ming's eyes were a little cloudy, and after thinking for a while, he meditated again.
It took a full hour to adjust his state this time before Han Ming opened his eyes, and at this time, his spirit and mana in his body were adjusted to the best state.
"Gollum. The third pill was swallowed by Han Ming, but this time Han Ming did not immediately close his eyes to refine the medicinal properties, and felt the stinging burning in his abdomen.
Half an hour later, Han Ming closed his eyes and started running the Nameless Technique again, this time Han Ming's speed of running the Technique was already a little overloaded, making him feel a faint pain in his meridians.
This time, Han Ming was in a coma for only about half an hour, and after he woke up and turned around, he found that his cultivation was still at the peak level of the fifth layer of qi training, and he had not broken through to the sixth layer of qi training.
Looking at the only pill left in his hand, and touching his gurgling stomach again, Han Ming shook his head vigorously, leaving all the negative emotions behind.
Han Ming got up and walked out of the cave, only to find that it was already dark, and it was already the second half of the night, and there was a terrifying atmosphere in the woods of the black hole.
Han Ming raised his hand with one hand, and an orange-red fireball appeared an inch away from his hand, and this fireball emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the surrounding area of dozens of zhang.
After casually making a torch, Han Ming extinguished the fireball, and then walked towards the depths of the woods with the torch, after all, the spell of the fire bomb technique should not be used casually, although there is no one here.
After about half an hour, a terrible tiger roar woke most of the beasts around it, and the woods were no longer as quiet as before.
Han Ming carried a tiger leg back to the cave, and after cleaning it up, he used a fireball to roast the tiger leg, and in just twenty breaths, the tiger leg was roasted and cooked thoroughly.
With a tiger leg in his stomach, Han Ming sat up straight on his knees again, and worked hard to adjust the state of his body.
A quarter of an hour later, Han Ming swallowed the last pill without hesitation, and then didn't think about anything, and directly refined the medicinal properties in his body.
For the first time, Han Ming pressed all his mana into the dantian, and at this time, his dantian was completely filled with mana, and it was even about to burst open.
This time, Han Ming did not pass out, but he did not break through the bottleneck, and the dantian did not expand.
Feeling the slightest trace of mana in the dantian, Han Ming knew that this breakthrough was a complete failure, he couldn't expand the dantian with the help of the mana obtained from refining pills, and that four-hundred-year-old herb was completely wasted.
Although Han Ming desperately tried his best to curb the passage of mana, the mana in the dantian still continued to leak out, Han Ming estimated slightly, and in about another hour, the excess mana in his body would completely disappear.
Although he knew that the probability of success of this breakthrough was less than one percent, Han Ming still refused to give up, and he had been trying his best to curb the loss of mana, always hoping for some miracle.
