Xue Yun arrived at the Artifact Hall, Senior Brother Qin on duty was naturally grateful to him, and after receiving the spirit stones and pills he had received in the past two months, Senior Brother Qin took out more than twenty spirit stones and seven or eight pills to Xue Yun, and then saw that Xue Yun's cultivation had reached the third layer, and it was another compliment, and Xue Yun listened to it and was quite useful.

After leaving the artifact hall, Xue Yun was not in a hurry to return to his wooden house to continue cultivating, but walked around the Tianmeng Mountain where the Qingxuan faction was located, along the way, a few small beasts could be seen frolicking in the grass, and a few fish swimming happily in the murmuring stream, Xue Yun looked at the natural beauty of this scene, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but outline a faint smile.

Xue Yun slowly flew forward with a stick of incense, only to see a hut on the mountain in front of him, a little smoke coming out of the chimney, two five or six-year-old children in front of the house were playing and playing, and there was a man in his thirties dressed as a hunter on the side who was looking at the two children with a smile. Xue Yun couldn't help but have a trace of strange emotions, recalling that he had embarked on the immortal road for more than three months, and during this period, he had spent himself alone in boring cultivation, and on the other hand, he had never left the shadow of his parents, seeing this scene in front of him, I have to say that Xue Yun was a little homesick, even if his mind was much more mature than that of people of the same age, but after all, he was only a twelve-year-old boy, how could he easily do it if he wanted to cut off the common fate?

Xue Yun sighed lightly, tried to calm his mood, turned around and flew in the direction of his wooden house.

Returning to the residence of the disciples of the Qi Refining Period, Xue Yun met several senior brothers, Xue Yun greeted them one by one with a smile, and when these senior brothers saw Xue Yun, the personal disciple of the Yuan Infant Elder, they naturally did not dare to slack off, and they also returned the salute one by one. Xue Yun didn't talk to them anymore, he casually found a reason to prevaricate them, and returned to his wooden house.

After returning to his wooden house, Xue Yun first took a nap for an hour, and when he woke up, he was naturally full of energy and smooth. Then he took out the jade slip that recorded Sen Mudu's decision, and carefully examined it with his divine sense.

After looking at it for a while, he put away the jade slip, and according to the content recorded on the jade slip, his right hand shot out a cyan magic decision, and a layer of green light curtain flashed around Xue Yun's body.

"This Aoki Spirit Shield looks good, but I don't know what the defense ability is?" Xue Yun said to himself, and then his left hand was raised slightly, and a green willow leaf condensed in the palm of his hand, Xue Yun pointed forward with his left hand, and the lancet slashed towards the light curtain, with a "bang", the lancet and the light curtain collided fiercely, and the lancet suddenly turned into nothing, and although the light curtain was constantly trembling, the luster was extremely dim, but it was not broken. Seeing this scene, Xue Yun recalled the scene where the light curtain turned by the lancet and Zhao Fei's talisman was annihilated at the same time, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he thought in his heart: "It seems that the power of this Aoki Spirit Shield is good, and it is slightly stronger than the defensive talisman used by the low-level Qi Refining Stage disciples. ”

After Xue Yun learned this spell, he couldn't help but think carefully about the current cultivation path, because according to the information recorded above by Sen Mu Jue and what Master Zhang Qi said, the breakthrough from the third layer to the fourth layer in the Qi refining period was not like the previous layers, as long as the first three layers were cultivated, it would naturally break through, while the third layer would have a bottleneck if it broke through to the fourth layer. Those with very poor spiritual roots, such as disciples with five-attribute spiritual roots, might even take up to five or six years to break through this bottleneck.

Of course, the so-called blessings and misfortunes depend on, although the bottleneck is a troublesome thing, but unlike the previous layers are only an increase in spiritual power, breaking through to the fourth layer is a qualitative leap, the monk will naturally experience a process of washing the marrow of the I Ching from the third layer to the fourth layer, after which the monk's body and spirit will be very different from before, although it cannot be said that it is invulnerable, but since then most of the poisons in the world will also lose their effect on the monk, and the spirit is much more abundant than before, even if he meditates and cultivates without sleep for a few days, he will not feel the slightest fatigue。

Although Xue Yun has a fairly good dual-attribute spiritual root, and the aura of the Qingxuan Sect can also be said to be very sufficient, it is also possible that he will be trapped for half a year because of this bottleneck, plus from the cultivation that has just reached the third layer to the peak of the third layer, then he will have to add half a year on top of this, Xue Yun does not want to delay such a long time.

According to Master Zhang Qi, there are two ways to overcome this bottleneck, one is that the person who needs to cultivate has an extraordinary state of mind, so the probability of successfully passing this bottleneck will also be greatly increased, and the other is to use the power of the pill to forcibly break through the bottleneck.

Xue Yun didn't have much hope for the first method, although Xue Yun passed the mood illusion exam when he was like a faction, but it was also a fluke, his own state of mind was not much stronger than others, and Xue Yun was still self-aware. Therefore, Xue Yun wanted to quickly break through from the third layer to the fourth layer, leaving only the second way, using the pill to force the bottleneck.

And the pill that broke through the bottleneck naturally couldn't be said on the same day as the Qi Condensation Pill that increased cultivation on weekdays, but fortunately, Xue Yun's spirit stones were not consumed much on weekdays, plus those given by Senior Brother Qin, he also had a lot of savings. Therefore, Xue Yun was going to wait for his cultivation to reach the peak of the third layer, and then go to the sect's Baodan Hall to buy a few spirit stones with spirit stones, fortunately, Xue Yun's spirit root was not bad, and about three or four spirit pills that broke through the bottleneck would be enough.

Thinking of this, Xue Yun couldn't help but make up his mind to cultivate to the peak of the third layer faster, and if he wanted to cultivate to grow faster, the elixir was of course the first choice, in the past, because his cultivation was not enough, he was afraid that the meridians would not be able to withstand the medicinal power of the elixir after swallowing, so he couldn't swallow it, but at this time, Xue Yun's cultivation had reached the third layer, and this problem was naturally solved.

With his right hand brushing over the storage bracelet, Xue Yun already had a celadon vial in front of him, Xue Yun opened the cap, leaned his nose over and sniffed it, and suddenly felt a strong medicinal fragrance coming to his face.

Xue Yun slowly poured out a Qi Condensing Pill from the bottle, put it in his right hand and looked at it carefully, only to see that this pill was snow-white all over, like a small and round pearl.

Two fingers gently picked up the pill and put it into his mouth, the pill melted in his mouth, and he seemed to feel a refreshing fragrance in his mouth, but at this moment, a mutation protruded.

The elixir had turned into liquid in Xue Yun's mouth, Xue Yun was closing his eyes and enjoying the wonderful taste of the elixir at this time, but at this time, it flew out of Xue Yun's mouth by itself, as if he was attracted by something, Xue Yun involuntarily opened his eyes, his face was full of confusion, but in just a moment, his confusion turned into shock.

I saw that the white liquid of the elixir was slowly rotating with an object on his chest, which exuded a colorful light, driving a trace of air flow around him, and when these air currents were close to the liquid, they turned into a little crystal and merged into the liquid, and the liquid slowly merged into the object after rotating with this thing for a while.

When the liquid is fully integrated into the object, the light fades away, as if everything around it has returned to normal. At this time, Xue Yun's face was full of shock, and he muttered stupidly: "Could it be...... Will this jade pendant take pills?"
