In the stone room, Shen Cheng sat cross-legged on the stone bed, his buttocks back, his stomach bulging, his chest straight, his hands folded in the dantian, and the tongue in his mouth against the upper tooth hall.

Since the day he got the "Mind Control Decision", more than a month has passed, and these days Shen Cheng has been meditating and practicing all the time, striving to get through the second vein of Ren Du as soon as possible and advance to the next level - the cultivation of the Great Zhou Tian Cycle!

During these days, Shen Chengcheng even ate and slept simply. If you are hungry, you can grab a cold steamed bun and bite a few bites in the bowl on the stone bed next to you, and when you are sleepy, you will lean on the stone wall and squint for a while!

Sometimes he also thinks about his father and little sister, and thinks of Nanhe Town, which is not worth much nostalgia except for his father's grave. But Shen Cheng always tried to control his thoughts, quickly recovered his mind in time, and continued to meditate intently!

However, the progress of cultivation in the past month can only be described as ineffective, and it can't even be described as having little effect!

During this time, the little old man was not idle, he got some unknown herbal tree roots, put them in the bathing vat, and let Shen Cheng soak for an hour every day. He also boiled two pairs of decoction a day and let him drink it without interruption, saying that these would have an effect on him to break through the first layer of melting qi as soon as possible!

Even if you take a bubble bath in a vat every day, Shen Cheng can still accept it. But Shen Cheng didn't want to drink this decoction at first, because it was too bitter and too difficult to drink! Shouldn't an immortal cultivator take the elixir? How could he change to drink the decoction? But in order to break through the first layer as soon as possible, the bitterness should be bitter! As long as it is not poison, as long as it has an effect on his breakthrough, then drink it!

In fact, how did Shen Cheng know that ordinary mortals, especially underage children, should not take pills to assist in cultivation when they first began to practice exercises! If they forcibly take pills to cultivate, the body of an immortal cultivator would be unable to adapt to the medicinal properties of the pills, and the eight veins of the Qi Jing would be broken by the medicinal power, and it was not impossible for one to accidentally cause the meridians to break off and die!

For example, if a person has been in the dark for a long time and suddenly sees the dazzling sunlight, he will not be able to adapt to it and may even hurt his eyesight! After the body can slowly accept the medicinal power, then use the pill to assist in cultivation.

The end of Shen Cheng's hard cultivation was seen by the little old man. He was relieved that Shen Cheng could cultivate hard, but he was also a little worried!

For this apprentice, the little old man can be regarded as having put in a lot of effort, except for the necessary meditation every day, the rest of his time is spent on preparing herbs for Shen Cheng, trying to help Shen Cheng break through as soon as possible.

The little old man also used the Dan furnace that he hadn't touched for more than 20 years, and specially refined some "Seven Grass Pills" to improve the exercises for Shen Cheng to open the furnace for later use!

To say that although the little old man's alchemy attainments are not high, this Seven Herbs Pill is relatively easy to refine, and it belongs to the primary and low-level pills that strengthen the mana and increase the mana, and the success rate is very high. There are no special requirements for Danhuo and Dan furnace.

Moreover, the medicinal materials used, except for a main medicine "Melting Spirit Grass", which is a little difficult to find, and you need to go to Fang Market to buy adult grass, or buy seeds to plant yourself, other auxiliary medicines are available on Jinxia Mountain, so it is not a big deal to refine another thirty or twenty furnaces. The little old man planned to wait for Shen Cheng to break through the first layer of the Qi Melting Period, and then start giving him this "Seven Herb Pill".

The only problem now is that the growth years of these herbs are too short, so the quality and medicinal properties of the pills are not ideal, which makes the little old man not very satisfied! But in fact, there is no need to deliberately ask for the herbs that are old now, and first see if Shen Cheng's cultivation effect has any cultivation value, and then it is not too late to make a decision!

Time flies, and more than four months have passed in a blink of an eye.

On this day, Shen Cheng pushed open the stone door of the stone room with an excited face and walked out. Not long ago, he had just broken through the first layer of melting qi, which made him feel very good at this time.

Just a few days ago, Shen Cheng, who was meditating, suddenly felt a trace of faint air flow in his body, which slowly condensed in the lower abdomen dantian, but in a blink of an eye, it dissipated and became invisible.

This made Shen Cheng couldn't help but be surprised, this was the first time he had a different feeling since he cultivated! So he continued to concentrate his mind and focus on the dantian, and after a while, that trace of air flow slowly condensed again, and in this way, this air flow condensed and dissipated, dissipated and condensed, and after several cycles, he finally grasped the essentials, and stabilized this precious true yuan qi that was warm and slightly swollen!

But later, Shen Cheng tried a few times, but found that he couldn't control this True Yuan Qi, so he could only let this trace of air flow slowly and wantonly swim in the dantian!

Shen Cheng tried to use his mind to manipulate and guide the direction of this trace of air flow according to the method expounded in "Controlling Thoughts". After many failures, you gradually grasp the main points and can control them as you like!

After that, he led this air flow out of the dantian, and swam all over the limbs and hundreds of bones all over his body.

And this airflow has also increased every day since that day, and in just a few days, it has condensed as thick as chopsticks, and condensed in the dantian. During this period, Shen Cheng controlled this small stream of air again, and swam around his body many times. After making sufficient preparations, and after thinking carefully and feeling that there was nothing wrong with any details, he guided this air flow last night, opened up the second pulse of Ren Du in one go, and broke through the barrier of the first layer of melting qi!

Now Shen Cheng only feels refreshed and transparent, and he has long forgotten that his stomach is still growling, and he just wants to happily turn two heels on the ground in the stone hall. Otherwise, he really doesn't know how to vent the sullenness and fire that has been accumulated in his heart these days!

"By the way, I have to tell the master. He would not have thought that he would rush through the level so easily to reach the first floor of melting qi. Shen Cheng thought happily.

The little old man went out at sunrise yesterday to look for medicine for Shen Cheng and returned to the cave, and after confirming that the apprentice had really succeeded in rushing through the level, he couldn't help but show a look of great satisfaction. Even the wrinkles on his face have bloomed a lot. These days, the joint efforts of the master and apprentice have finally seen results, how gratifying is it!

The little old man listened to Shen Cheng's excited description of the process of rushing to the level, and while twisting his beard and thinking about something with a smile on his face.

He really didn't expect that Shen Cheng would reach the first level of the Qi Melting Stage in just over four months! Although this kid cultivated the exercises that were known for his speed, it was really not easy for Shen Cheng to break through to the first layer so quickly with Shen Cheng's poor qualifications.

In fact, even those immortal cultivators with single-attribute spiritual root qualifications, who only practiced diligently without the assistance of external forces, wanted to break through the first layer of melting qi, and it was estimated that this was what it would look like. Back then, the little old man practiced very hard, and although the exercises were not as good as Shen Cheng's current practice, he was also known for paying attention to the speed of cultivation. But with the qualification of his own dual spirit roots and the assistance of elixir, it took more than half a year to break through the first layer of melting qi, and he also succeeded after rushing through the level more than once! It seems that Shen Cheng, this kid, is really a bit blessed and spiritual.

"Well, that's good. Apprentice, you have been practicing hard and making rapid progress in the past few months, and you are naturally happy to see it in your eyes. But you have to understand that this is just the first step in your spiritual development. The road to immortality is long and bumpy, and you still have a long way to go in the future. Remember the words of the teacher, 'In good times, we should be humble and prudent, guard against arrogance and rashness, and in the face of adversity, we must be indomitable and diligent.' 'In this way, we can go further on the Immortal Avenue!'" the little old man encouraged by twisting the few white hairs on the side of his mouth.

"Yes, Master's words are remembered by Shen Cheng", Shen Cheng also respectfully hugged his fist at the little old man and replied solemnly. He could feel that the master was sincere to him and did not hide anything from himself. These days, without the help of the master, it is impossible for him to break through the melting qi layer so smoothly, and he is also very grateful to the master.

The little old man was about to say something more, but before he could say anything, he raised his eyebrows and said "Huh", and then pointed in the direction of the cave. A moment of "whoosh" fire shot in from outside the cave entrance.
