The words say:

Flying snow fills the sky, freezing smiles. But the number of gentlemen, dare to take the lead in spring. Don't go to the flowers to compete for beauty, a branch is beautiful, the most pitiful.

People love Peony, and I praise you proudly. The most knowledgeable gentleman, experienced the cold. Wait for me to cultivate the immortal achievement day, move the festival order, and change the year. - "Tang Duoling"

It is said that Li Shijian took a spirit stone to test according to the request of the Nine Elders.

The Nine Elders stared intently, silently calculating the time in their hearts. After about two and a half hours, a spirit stone the size of an egg was sucked up from the spiritual energy inside, turning into a small pile of broken stone slag.

The Ninth Elder said happily, "Shijian, your absorption speed is not slow! When I was cultivating in your realm as a teacher, it would take more than three hours for such a large piece of medium-grade spirit stone to absorb it. ”

As he spoke, the Ninth Elder took out a storage ring and handed it to Li Shijian, and then said, "Shijian, there are all high-grade spirit stones in it, a total of one hundred pieces. The natural aura contained in a spirit stone is ten times that of a medium-grade spirit stone, you absorb one piece a day, and the rest of the time will be refined, in this way, without delay, the entry will inevitably be very fast!"

When Li Shijian heard this, he was not polite, so he took it and said to the Ninth Elder: "Master, the disciple is very eager to strengthen himself now, otherwise, I can't kill the snowy demon, and I always have to stay under the low eaves of the people on the heart mirror to suffer their anger!"

The Ninth Elder smiled and said, "Well, Shijian, you can cultivate with peace of mind, for a while, why can't they treat you, after all, there is still a teacher for me!"

Li Shijian said: "Yes, Master, I want to fight for your face, and even more for myself! If I don't fight hard, they won't give me a way!"

The Ninth Elder patted Li Shijian's shoulder and left with a smile.

Li Shijian clenched his fists and said to himself: "Li Shijian, you have to fight! If you don't fight, God won't give you a way out!"

Li Shijian made a simple plan for his next step of cultivation: in the first half of the day, he continued to learn to refine Dao weapons, increasing from one metal to two metals, and gradually increasing to a variety of metals, including non-metals.

Wait until you can refine that kind of space dao magic weapon, and then carefully study refining the elixir.

The second half of the day is used to comprehend the self-created sword moves, to complete his own "Poetry and Sword Technique", and he still thinks about creating fifty-six moves, and now is just the beginning; the rest of the time, it is used to practice, first practice Confucianism's "Haoran Zhengqi Jue", after all, this exercise pays more attention to the foundation, and then practice the "Thunder and Lightning Body Exercise".

Li Shijian set a plan and set a time and goal, the time is within three years, and the goal is to reach the seventh level of the spiritual path in the realm of cultivation. Refining weapons and alchemy must be completed.

As the saying goes, the eye is the egg, the hand is a hero, and the things that seem to be big in the eyes can eventually be reclaimed and moved by doing it.

At this time, it was the time of refining, and Li Shijian put the first pure steel sword he refined into his storage ring, and began the refining training of fusing the two metals.

Li Shijian still chose to put in muddy iron to melt it first, and then added a certain proportion of silver. I don't know how many times the refiner has practiced this ratio before he has formed an understanding of the optimal ratio.

Fortunately, Tang Rong, the master of the Qitang Hall, did not hide his selfishness, and Li Shijian remembered what he taught.

Lifting control, constant control, wave control, impurities, rough billet forming, engraving formation, finished products out of the oven. Melt again, and the finished product is baked again......

Another three-grade small sword was put into the storage ring by Li Shijian.

In the afternoon, Li Shijian began to realize his sword moves.

Artistic conception, the artistic conception I have comprehended, with the help of swordsmanship to show, just like what I said, it must be drilled into the opponent's ears, what I want is that you must hear, my artistic conception you must see, my attack is realized in the artistic conception!

The first move of the starting hand, the will of heaven does not ask, the second move, the dragon is born of wind, the third move, the moon and Huaiyuan, the fourth move?

The poem says "a little snow is boundless", white plums, red plums, one day the wind is urgent, the snow is boundless, the wind and snow are vast, a branch of red is gorgeous, and naturally attracts endless eyes!

How can we show the flying snow? How can we show a red branch?

The fourth trick is difficult in this red branch, how to show it!

The sword dance was full of brilliance, the sword was condensed like snow, Li Shi squandered the pure steel sword, waved it slowly, closed his eyes and pondered.

No solution. The time has come to cultivate.

Li Shijian took the small sword, sat cross-legged slowly, between his palms, clamped a spirit stone, clasped his teeth and held it firmly, shoveled his shoulders, and then, his tongue touched the palate, and the magpie bridge penetrated.

The immortal family spirit dao true yuan aura, Zhou Tian run, from both hands of the palace acupoint through, the natural aura in the high-grade spirit stone, little by little, absorbed, taken away, carried into the meridians, and then injected into the dantian, into the immortal inner danli.

The stars shifted and the moon shadow was long, the night was halfway over, the operation of "Haoran Righteous Qi Jue" was over, the thunder and lightning body exercise was running, and the white silk thread that was hovering and wrapped around the dantian inner pill had just a trace of movement, and it was silent again.

It's so difficult! Li Shijian's subconscious two words appeared.

The natural aura contained in the top-grade spirit stone was still absorbed and fused with the flow of the immortal family's true yuan aura, and then injected into the inner dan.

A piece of high-grade spirit is petrified into gravel powder.

Li Shijian took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes.

The sun was rising, and the sunlight could not shine into the secret room, but Li Shijian clearly perceived: it was dawn.

The refining of the way of refining begins again.

This time, it is necessary to combine muddy iron and crystalline copper to refine.

However, it didn't work once, it didn't work twice. Dozens of times failed to succeed, see that the time is almost up to comprehend and create sword moves on your own. Li Shijian took the top and pondered for a while, it seems that tomorrow's refining training should still be based on a single metal! Refining a single metal such as gold, silver, copper, and iron one by one, it is necessary to ensure that every kind of small sword is above the third grade.

Reflect, summarize, finish. Once again, comprehend the artistic conception and create new tricks. The snow is flying, the sword is condensing the snow, where does the wind come from?

Li Shijian slapped it with a palm, and the wind came.

This move must be a combination of swords and palms! However, a red branch, where is the plum blossom?

Riding a donkey across a small bridge, the snow flakes on the hat drift in the wind. Who is the donkey rider? It's me, it's you, it's me, it's you, it's you, it's you, it's red, it's born in the artistic conception, it's in your eyes! It's born in your eyes, it's in your heart!

The fourth trick is named: Amazing and compelling! The poem says: A branch of red and dark incense.

From the starting hand to the fourth move, it must be coherent, it must be done in one go, and it must be practiced. Li Shijian's body was stunned, and his murderous aura was everywhere, circling around, and he whispered in his mouth: Heaven's will has never been difficult to ask.

The sword came out, the wind rose, a wisp condensed, and the straight stab, the angle was strange, accompanied by a soft groan: the dragon flew without a trace and moved the eight wildernesses.

The sword wheel becomes the moon, pushing the window, the oblique moon flies and slashes, Li Shijian whispers: Slim and looking at the sky.

- "Ouch!" Li Shijian couldn't help but exhale in pain, and his heart ached, like a pinprick!

The artistic conception disappears, the sword shadow disappears, the third move stops, and the fourth move can't be connected, so it's "out of breath"!

Li Shijian touched his chest with his hand, and felt that the pain was completely gone.

This is different from the last pain! The last time I fought Hulagus, the pain was unstoppable, and this time, the sword stopped, and the pain stopped!

Again!

Again, the pain stopped. Li Shijian gritted his teeth and tried again, no matter how hard the pain was, he had to grit his teeth and hold on! As long as he passed this trick, he should no longer be in pain!

"If you don't fight, God won't give you a way to go!" Li Shijian muttered silently in his heart, the sword came out, pushed the window to look at the moon and slashed at the moon, and chanted in his mouth, "Misty and looking at the sky—ah!"

The sword moves are connected!

"Poof!" Li Shijian spurted out a mouthful of blood, and a sweetness appeared in his mouth, this blood vomited so fiercely!

Sure enough, when I turned to the fourth move, my heart no longer hurt.

Consolidate it. Li Shijian rehearses again!

"Poof!" was another sharp pain in my heart, and a mouthful of blood spurted out!

Li Shijian sighed secretly in his heart: The moves are connected, however, if the poison in his body is incomprehensible, he will inevitably vomit blood when he is against the enemy! It is impossible not to affect the performance of combat power!

Come on, can I connect the second move directly with the fourth move?

Li Shijian, practice swords!

......

A pile of spirit stone slag powder. It's time for the next training session.

Li Shijian's heart moved, and when he looked at the dantian again, his inner dan, the original gold, seemed to fade a little!

There is no nail in the secret room, and I don't know how many years it will be cold.

I don't know how long it has been, in the first half of the night, Li Shijian took out the spirit stone to absorb the natural aura in it.

When the spirit stone turned into gravel powder, Li Shijian was about to end his cultivation of Haoran Righteous Qi and turn to practice the Thunder and Lightning Bowl Exercises, at this moment, Li Shijian suddenly found that it was not yet half of the night, and it was not yet time to practice the Thunder and Lightning Body Exercises set by himself!

Li Shijian was stunned for a moment, thought for a long time, and then patted his head: Ouch, I'm really stupid, what's so strange about this?

......

In the first half of the night, Li Shijian carried out the cultivation of "Haoran Righteous Qi Technique" step by step, but when his divine sense looked at the storage ring, he was stunned and realized: The spirit stone is gone!

Li Shijian hurriedly opened the secret room, came to see the Nine Elders overnight, and after the visit, Li Shijian said: "Master, are there any spirit stones? I'm about to be promoted, and the spirit stones are gone." ”

"Shijian, what are you talking about? You have used up a hundred high-grade spirit stones? This is too fast, right?" the Ninth Elder was taken aback and said in surprise.

Li Shijian heard it and wondered: "Master, is this too fast?"

The Ninth Elder smiled and said: "One hundred high-grade spirit stones, I calculated, one piece a day, enough for you to use for more than three months—maybe you can break through to the realm and step into the third order of the spirit path with about sixty pieces, never thought that you had used up the spirit stones after only forty-nine days, and you, you actually didn't advance to the rank, but you were only about to advance?"

Speaking of this, the Ninth Elder patted Li Shijian on the shoulder and said, "I haven't prepared enough high-grade spirit stones for you as a teacher—I've only gathered thirty-six high-grade spirit stones until now, so you can take them." ”

Li Shijian took the spirit stone, and asked the nine elders some questions, but he didn't realize that the east was white, and a new day began.

Li Shijian thanked the Ninth Elder and returned to the secret room.

The Ninth Elder followed behind and said, "Shijian, if you feel that you are about to break through, stop your cultivation, notify me, and I will take you to Nanfeng Bay for the sake of my teacher, and go to the North Stygian Sea to cross the tribulation, which is secluded, and will neither affect others nor be affected by others." ”

Li Shijian said, "Yes! Thank you, Master," and the figure disappeared into the night.

A relieved smile appeared on the Ninth Elder's face.

Li Shijian returned to the secret room and began to cultivate again. In the first half of the day, two kinds of metal alloy swords were refined; in the second half of the day, the "Poetry and Sword Technique" was practiced, and from the starting style to the fourth move, the heart was distressed and heartache, and blood was vomited again! However, from the second move directly to the fourth move, it has not yet succeeded, and if it is not successful, it is impossible and unnecessary to create the fifth move for the time being.

At night, it was time to start cultivating the Haoran Righteous Qi Technique. This time, Li Shijian made a record of his attention and recorded his current daily consumption of spirit stones.

In the first half of the fifth day, when Li Shijian began to cultivate the "Haoran Righteous Qi Technique" again, his heart moved, and he immediately looked inwardly at the dantian, and found that the color of his Immortal Spiritual Dao True Yuan Inner Dan was originally the color of gold, but now it had become extremely light, almost transparent!

Li Shijian muttered in his heart, Jin Dan Jin Dan, this has all become a transparent inner Dan, can it still be called Jin Dan?

However, thinking about it like this, Li Shijian only felt that the true yuan aura was stagnant!

How can you be distracted at this time? Li Shijian secretly blamed himself, restrained his mind, and concentrated his attention again, focusing on his inner vision.

The spirit stone in his hand became gravel powder again. This night, Li Shijian, in the first half of the night, absorbed two high-grade spirit stones.

Li Shijian once again stopped cultivating the Haoran Righteous Qi Technique, and began to practice the Thunder and Lightning Body Technique again.

At the same time, Li Shijian found that the white silk thread that had originally wrapped around the golden inner pill had become a little thicker, but it was obvious that there was a bit of restraint for the Immortal Family Spirit Dao True Yuan Inner Dan, which had almost become transparent!

"This should be that the thunder and lightning physical skills are lagging behind Haoran's righteous qi skills, right?" Li Shijian muttered to himself.

And so it really is. It's just that Li Shijian is not experienced at this time, and he just stays at speculation.

When I practice the Thunder and Lightning Body Exercises, can I try to inject the absorbed spirit stone aura into this white silk thread?

Yes, I was just afraid that I would go crazy again, and the Haoran righteousness in my body couldn't control the dragon qi to run wild, but now that this Haoran righteousness in my body has a foundation, why don't I give it a try?

Li Shijian did it after thinking about it, and immediately took out another high-grade spirit stone, sandwiched it between his palms, and the two palms were opposite to each other, and began to absorb them.

Looking inward again, I saw that the white silk thread on the inner pill had not only become thicker, but also become active, and I saw the white brilliance flowing, like thunder and lightning during the catastrophe.

Li Shijian's heart moved: the trace of restraint that this white silk thread had on Neidan before had actually disappeared!

At this time, Li Shijian only felt that he was like being in the clouds, as if he had eaten countless ginseng fruits, and every pore of his body seemed to open happily, automatically absorbing the aura of the outside world.

Li Shijian knew that he was about to be promoted, maybe, as long as he absorbed one more spirit stone, it would be fine!

Li Shijian took the credit, and quickly took out the Unicom Talisman and told the Ninth Elder: "Master, I'm about to be promoted, let's go to Nanfeng Bay!"

The Nine Elders laughed, and before the laughter stopped, the person had already appeared, and said, "Shijian, go, hurry up and get on the wind chasing spirit boat for the teacher!"

At that time, the Wind Chasing Spirit Ship took off into the air and flew towards Nanfeng City like an arrow, and after half an hour, the Wind Chasing Spirit Boat came to Nanfeng Bay and continued to fly towards the depths of the North Styx Sea.

The Ninth Elder was familiar with the wind chasing spirit boat, came to a small island, and said, "Shijian, you are here, use the spirit stone to cultivate, and I will protect you for the teacher." ”

Li Shijian nodded, grabbed a high-grade spirit stone between his palms, and began to cultivate.

The Nine Elders watched from the sidelines, quite patiently, and after only half an hour, the Nine Elders found that there was a storm in the sky, thunder and lightning, and a catastrophe descended.

The Nine Elders were full of anticipation in their anxiety, speaking of anxiety, it was the Nine Elders who could clearly see that the thunder and lightning of the Tribulation were clearly more powerful than the third-order Heavenly Tribulation of the Spirit Dao of ordinary people! Moreover, the Nine Elders were worried in their hearts, when the love disciples crossed the tribulation, would the poison of the Blood Gu Love Seed attack?

Speaking of anticipation, it was naturally that the Nine Elders believed that Shijian could survive the Heavenly Tribulation safely, after all, in the memory of the Nine Elders, they had not heard of the failure of the immortal cultivators with dragon qi to cross the tribulation. What's more, this is just a small catastrophe after all.

Sure enough, when the last wave of tribulation thunder and lightning fell, the calamity clouds would disperse. That day, the tribulation thunderbolt only had a tail left, and it was about to disappear.

The Ninth Elder exhaled a sigh of relief, his face was full of joy, and he was about to come to Li Shijian's side, when he saw a black shadow flying over, sucking the tail of the Heavenly Tribulation Thunderbolt, and went straight into the Tribulation Cloud, and in an instant, the Heavenly Tribulation was born again!

The Ninth Elder was shocked: "Ahh
