Day after day of study, physical exercise, and internal strength cultivation, another month passed in a blink of an eye.

The night sky is shining with stars in summer.

In the hut, Shen Yun had just finished cultivating a round of Zhou Tian, he opened his eyes, with a puzzled look on his face, and said to himself: "It's strange, it's not that it hasn't increased, but why is it just a little bit?"

When I was cultivating last night, I found that my true yuan power had barely increased, and I felt strange, so when I was cultivating today, I carefully sensed it and tried it.

After this round of Zhou Tian was completed, I found that the total amount of True Yuan Power was not not increasing, but only a trace of it, as if the container had reached a critical point, it was already full, and it was difficult to fit in.

"I didn't have any guidance, so I had to try again. Sigh softly and close your eyes again.

After another two rounds of Sunday, Shen Yun touched his chin and looked uncertain.

In the dantian, it is like an extra layer of film barrier, and every time after Zhou Tian, the true yuan force enters the dantian, and it is hindered, and it seems that there are very few people who enter.

However, after each round of cultivation, the True Yuan Force will actually form a certain impact on the film, but the impact force is insufficient, and the film is not broken, as if the container is so big.

"Bottleneck?" Shen Yun's eyes lit up.

Bottleneck is a term mentioned on the "Red Flame Jue", once you cultivate to the peak of the first layer, you will sense the bottleneck, and only after breaking through the bottleneck of the first layer can you start cultivating the second layer of exercises.

Shen Yun suddenly became excited, and even the noisy frog chirping outside seemed pleasant.

Encountering a bottleneck means that the exercises on the first level of the "Red Flame Jue" have been cultivated to the peak, and as long as they break through, they can enter the second layer of cultivation.

With a happy smile on his face, he calmed down his emotions again, and then began to operate his mind step by step.

As time passed, and the nine rounds of Zhou Tian were over, Shen Yun opened his eyes again, and his face could not distinguish between joy and anger.

After each week, although it is small, there will still be some true yuan power absorbed by the dantian, but unfortunately, the total amount of the impact of these weeks on the bottleneck is still too small, and it is not enough to break through.

Looking out the window, it was still early, it was pitch black outside, and dawn was coming.

Suddenly wrenched his fingers, and his face gradually became gloomy.

"There are still five days left in June, and I don't know if I can break through to the second-layer realm in five days. ”

On the first day of June, it is the time to test the drug by yourself, and if you can break through the second layer, you will naturally be more afraid of the sequelae of poison.

It seems that only a little bit is missing to break the bottleneck.

Shen Yun gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and used his mind to guide the spiritual energy empowerment, this was the tenth Zhou Tian.

Suddenly, a sharp pain came from the meridians, as if the meridians of the whole body were about to burst.

Shen Yun's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly stopped his mental method, however, that spiritual power didn't listen to him, even if he stopped guiding, the spiritual power still stubbornly followed the established route, rushing left and right in his meridians.

Shen Yun shivered in pain, large beads of sweat hung down on his face, and even his clothes were soaked in an instant.

After the mental method stopped, the spiritual power gradually dissipated, and the pain became less and less.

"Whew!"

He let out a long breath, rubbed the sore muscle meridians all over his body, and scolded himself: "It's really damn, the cheats clearly say that you shouldn't practice more than nine times a day, it's really stupid." ”

The classics don't talk nonsense, nine times should be the limit that ordinary people's meridians can bear.

Shen Yun wiped a handful of sweat and secretly warned himself that he couldn't mess around like this in the future, he would die.

Fortunately, the amount of spiritual energy inhaled this time is small, otherwise the meridians will be completely cracked and it will be unknown if you will become a waste.

......

Five days later, after Shen Yun finished dinner, he sat nervously in the room, thinking wildly.

After a few days of cultivation in a row, I obviously felt that I was only a little bit short of being able to break through the bottleneck, but it was just a little bit worse.

The total amount of True Yuan Power is not without improvement, but the total amount of increase is too small and almost negligible. However, he felt that the True Yuan Force was a lot more refined, and Shen Yun knew that if this continued, one day this bottleneck would be broken.

As time passed, Shen Yun became more and more nervous, and even his palms were sweaty, slippery and wet.

All his energy was paying attention to the movement outside the door, but in addition to the sharp cries of summer cicadas, he only heard the chirping of countless frogs in the farmland in the distance.

"Click, click!"

The slight rhythm of footsteps fell on Shen Yun's ears, which immediately made his hairs stand on end and his thinking stopped.

"Knock knock!" With the knock on the door, Chen Xu pushed open the door and walked in.

Shen Yun's face turned pale, and his eyes were stunned.

"I asked Luo Yuan to inform you, did I tell you?" Chen Xu looked puzzled.

"Having said ......" Shen Yun woke up like a dream, and stood up, but he didn't know what to do with his hands.

"Then come with me. Chen Xu nodded slightly and comforted, "Don't worry, there's no danger." ”

Shen Yun was busy, his mind was full of paste, and he followed Chen Xu in a daze.

Elder Wu's room, diagonally opposite the medicine boy's dormitory, consisted of three houses in a row. The entrance leads to the hall, with the bedroom on the left and the studio on the right.

The studio had a single wooden bed, a small table, several chairs, a few medicine cabinets full of drawers, a wooden shelf full of bottles and cans, and three mannequins.

Elder Wu was in his sixties, very short, only slightly taller than a child, with gray hair and an old face like the bark of an old tree, full of wrinkles.

In the studio, the huge butter candle was as bright as day, and as soon as I stepped in, a strange smell of dried herbs mixed with a fishy smell rushed towards me.

And Elder Wu, who was dressed in a white gown, was fiddling with the bottles and cans on the wooden shelf.

Shen Yun hurriedly took a few steps forward and saluted respectfully: "Elder Wu." ”

Elder Wu turned around, and under the candlelight, a trace of a smile appeared on his dark face: "Sit." He turned around and toyed with his things.

At Chen Xu's signal, Shen Yun sat down, his face cloudy.

Will I get seriously ill or accidentally give up my life? I should be fine if I have a miraculous body, right?

The heartbeat is so fast, it seems to jump out of the chest at any time, and even the harsh cicadas outside feel far away.

The breeze blew in, and several shadows jumped to and fro on the ground under the shaking of several large candles.

Elder Wu struggled and tossed for a long time, and finally finished his work, turned around and sat on the chair opposite Shen Yun.

"Shen Yun, right?" Elder Wu grinned, his appearance extremely scary, "Don't worry, there's no danger." As he spoke, he handed Chen Xu, who was standing quietly, two pills.

This kind of comfort was useless, especially Elder Wu's bark-like old face, and the smile looked so ill-intentioned.

Although he was very scared, Shen Yun still nodded and answered.

Silently meditate in my heart, soon, soon, soon, soon.

"However, you have to remember how you feel when you take the medicine, and how you feel after taking the antidote. Elder Wu's face was solemn, and his voice was full of majesty, "You have to tell me tomorrow, understand?"

"Yes, Elder. Shen Yun was taken aback and hurriedly replied.

At Elder Wu's suggestion, Chen Xu handed a pill to Shen Yun in a flat tone: "Remember what Elder Wu said, swallow this." ”

Shen Yun couldn't resist, took the dark red pill, and picked up the cold boiled water on the table. He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and threw the pill into his mouth.

A strong fishy smell rushed to the heart and lungs, and the mouth was extremely bitter, and after pouring saliva, the pill slipped down the throat and into the stomach.

I am slandered in my heart, it smells so bad and unpalatable, I'm afraid I can't trick the enemy into swallowing it, right?

After only a moment's effort, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my lower abdomen as if it was overturning.

It's like there's a knife in my stomach, and it's constantly stirring. Suddenly grinned in pain, his hands couldn't help but clench his stomach, and he groaned.

The pain is getting worse and worse, and I can't have the energy to scold people secretly.

Beads of sweat the size of soybeans kept rolling down his head, and he could only hear his own moans, plus a few coughs, and in a daze, he seemed to see blood stains on the ground.

"It's over! It's over! I'm vomiting blood!"

Shen Yun's consciousness was a little blurred, and he suddenly thought of the True Yuan Force, forcibly endured the severe pain, and moved the True Yuan Force to the lower abdomen.

It was as if a warm current flowed by, and the pain suddenly alleviated a lot, but the true yuan power was consumed so quickly, and it bottomed out in an instant, what should I do?

Shen Yun, who was hazy and painful, suddenly felt that the corners of his mouth were pinched open, and then a pill was stuffed into his mouth, and he swallowed it in a daze.

Suddenly, there was another hot flow in his lower abdomen, although the pain was still there, but it was much milder, and he even found that the clothes on his body were wet with sweat, and Shen Yun's drowsy eyes closed and he fainted.

"Is the dose a little too much?" Before falling unconscious, Shen Yun seemed to hear Chen Xu's exclamation.
