One day three years later, Li Zhe, who was sitting naked on the stone bed, completed the exercises again in a sweat as usual.

At this time, Li Zhe's skin on his body faintly turned black. He stretched out his hands, rubbed them his face a few times, and then stretched out two fingers to lightly uncover his face, and actually tore off a black film.

As the amplitude of his movements increased, he actually shed a layer of black skin all over his body like a snake molting.

The black skin that peeled off emitted a pungent stench. Getting rid of his black skin, Li Zhe put on his clothes and jumped off the stone bed in high spirits.

Unconsciously, Li Zhe had been practicing penance in Yunmeng's lower courtyard for three years. The life of ascetic cultivation is extremely boring, that is, cultivation, rest, rest, and repeat, and when I reach the first and fifteenth days of junior high school, I go to listen to Wang Ziyan's lectures.

Even in such a boring life, Li Zhe does not think it is bitter, the flame of revenge does not burn in his heart for a moment, and he is willing to bear any pain as a support.

In the past three years, he has hardly left home, and he will never miss a chance to do his work.

Every time a monk in the early stage of spiritual guidance did his homework, he would lead some spiritual energy into the dantian. Due to the limited ability of the monk dantian to absorb the aura in the early stage of spiritual induction, most of the aura introduced into the dantian will be lost uncontrollably.

However, no matter how it is lost, there will eventually be some pure aura left in the dantian. As the number of exercises increases, there will be more and more aura left in the dantian.

When the aura fills the entire dantian, it means that the monk's cultivation has reached the limit of the initial stage of spiritual attraction, and then the monk will meet the first bottleneck on the road to cultivation.

At this point, if the monk wants to move forward, he needs to break through this bottleneck. Otherwise, no matter how many times you perform the exercises, the aura in the dantian will not increase again.

If you're lucky, maybe the next day, when you do the exercises, when the spiritual energy reaches the dantian, you will break through the limit, causing the spiritual energy to compress, forming a cyclone, and reaching the middle stage of spiritual induction. If you're unlucky, you may not be able to break through in ten or eight years.

The eight junior brothers who started at the same time occasionally got together to exchange their cultivation experiences, but Li Zhe rarely participated.

The reason is very simple, in addition to the gentle and lovely Zhong Ling'er, the relationship between the other six juniors and Li Zhe is very stiff, and the most prominent of them is Du Hairong, who is empty-eyed.

Li Zhe and him seem to be born to clash with each other, and they have to quarrel a few words when they meet.

Du Hairong put on a dead face all day long, making other juniors and disciples stay away from him.

However, as the saying goes, Cao Cao also has a close friend, and Guan Gong also has a rival. Du Hairong has such a stinky character, and there is actually a little fat man, Qian Youde, who obeys his words, follows up, and fights hotly.

The juniors and disciples decided in their hearts that Li Zhe must have gone through the back door to join the sect, and he was not a person from the same way, and often regarded Li Zhe as a transparent person.

Li Zhe also knew this, but he was helpless, and he was very depressed.

Of course, with Li Zhe's character, it is impossible to slap them in a low voice.

Li Zhexiu's main purpose is really to avenge his father, but this does not mean that he can ignore the contempt of his junior disciples for him, after all, he is still a young man with strong blood.

Everything is illusory, only strength is real, this is the consensus of the cultivation world.

So, Li Zhe secretly held his breath and worked harder to cultivate, hoping that one day he would be able to use his strength to win his rightful position.

He practiced hard day and night, and he also achieved amazing results. With the qualification of a two-star spiritual root, Li Zhe's cultivation progress actually ranked second among all the junior brothers, second only to Du Hairong, and even faster than the four-star spiritual root junior sister Zhong Ling'er. This has to be said to be a small miracle.

Li Zhe's cultivation speed made the juniors and disciples feel incredible in private, and some people even wondered if Li Zhe had secretly taken some pills to increase his cultivation speed.

In fact, an important reason for achieving such results is that Li Zhe's meridians are too strong.

The meridians of the monks in the early stage of spiritual guidance were very fragile and could not withstand too much spiritual energy passing through. Therefore, in cultivation, they did not dare to use all their strength to attract spiritual energy into the meridians.

When cultivating at this stage, the biggest constraint is the strength of the meridians, and the advantages of the spiritual root qualification are basically impossible to play, which gives Li Zhe a chance to catch up.

Relying on the powerful talent of his meridians, Li Zhe attracted his aura to the limit every time he performed his exercises.

The retrograde movement of a large amount of spiritual energy in the meridians brought great pain to Li Zhe, making every time he performed the exercises, it was like a punishment.

Every time he did the exercises, he was sweating profusely, but Li Zhe never slackened and kept gritting his teeth and persevering.

God rewards hard work, and three years of perseverance have not been in vain, making him in the forefront of the eight.

When performing gong, Li Zhe also has a unique phenomenon that is different from the rest. That is, after the exercises, a layer of black dirt like skin was attached to his skin, and a foul smell was emitted.

Li Zhe also inquired about Zhong Ling'er and made sure that no one else had this phenomenon.

Therefore, Li Zhe estimated that this phenomenon should be related to his cultivation of "Yin Yang Zhou Tian Xuan Linggong". And this is a secret that Li Zhe must keep, so he didn't dare to ask Wang Ziyan about it.

No one could ask, Li Zhe had to think his own. In this regard, Li Zhe had a rough guess, and it was estimated that when he practiced the gong to the Yin Zhou Tian stage, a large amount of spiritual energy and impurities were discharged from the meridians into the body, and then through the body and discharged from the body.

In this process, the impurities in the physical body are also taken out of the body by the way, and the physical body is purified and nourished.

The reason why Shen Zhoutian didn't tell himself about this phenomenon is probably because neither the Eastern Patriarch himself has practiced this skill, but even the Eastern Patriarch himself doesn't know about the existence of this phenomenon, let alone Shen Zhoutian.

After three years of cultivation, when Li Zhe used the internal vision technique to inspect his physical body, he would find that the flesh and blood had become very pure, and the combination was more compact. Not only has the hardness been greatly strengthened, but the strength is several times greater than before.

After the monk's realm is raised, it can indeed strengthen the strength of the physical body, but the effect is very different from the degree of Li Zhe's physical body enhancement, and Li Zhe's physical body strengthening effect is several times higher than that of ordinary monks.

Fortunately, this phenomenon only brings Li Zhe benefits, so he is not too worried.

Half a month ago, Du Hairong was the first among the eight senior brothers to reach the middle stage of the spirit induction.

Stimulated by this, Li Zhe worked harder to cultivate. After practicing the exercises just now, Li Zhe found that the spiritual energy stored in his dantian had reached the limit, and he could try to break through the bottleneck next time he practiced the exercises.

With excitement, Li Zhe waited for the passage of the meridian fatigue period day by day.

As soon as the four hours passed, Li Zhe immediately began to perform exercises to hit the bottleneck.

At this time, Li Zhe's dantian was densely covered with white points of light, like a sky full of stars, and there was no place to store it.

Therefore, when Li Zhe introduced the aura after the practice into the dantian, the newly added white light point had nowhere to stay, and he wanted to retreat into the meridians.

Li Zhe naturally couldn't allow this to happen and forcibly pressed them into the dantian.

Under pressure, the white points of light in the dantian began to merge and devour each other, converging into some larger white points of light. However, these large white points of light were not stable, and they exploded from time to time, and the chaotic white points of light were scurrying around in the dantian, and some of them tried to enter the meridians.

Li Zhe knew in his heart that the white light points penetrating into the meridians would cause a decrease in the aura in the dantian and reduce the chance of forming a cyclone. If a cyclone cannot form, then the shock bottleneck has failed. Not only that, but a large amount of spiritual energy in the dantian penetrated into the meridians, which would also cause the cultivation to regress.

Before the next impact, a lot of time will be wasted to refill the dantian with aura.

Of course, Li Zhe couldn't let this happen, and tried his best to block the chaotic white dots back into the dantian.

"Yin Yang Zhou Tian Xuan Linggong" showed its wonder at this time, Li Zhe showed the power of complete control over the aura in the body, and easily controlled all the aura in the dantian, and no trace could escape.

Eventually, white points of light that had nowhere to escape converged and triggered an aura explosion in the dantian.

After the explosion, a white point of light formed a white cyclone the size of a fingernail in the center of the dantian.

As Dongfang Ancestor said, "Yin Yang Zhou Tian Spiritual Skill" can greatly reduce the difficulty of the monk to hit the bottleneck, and Li Zhe has no difficulty breaking through the bottleneck to reach the middle stage of spiritual induction.

After breaking through the bottleneck, Li Zhe went to Wang Ziyan's cave mansion as soon as possible and reported to her the news of his advancement.

Wang Ziyan stared at a pair of beautiful eyes, staring at Li Zhe up and down several times in confusion. Li Zhe is a real two-star spiritual root, and in terms of qualifications, he is a genuine pseudo-spiritual root, and there is a huge gap between the true spiritual root of the three-star spiritual root.

However, his cultivation speed was actually faster than that of Zhong Ling'er of the four-star spirit root, which was indeed incredible. Let's say that Li Zhe secretly took the pill and forcibly increased his cultivation speed.

However, judging from the mana fluctuations emanating from his body, not only was it not messy, but it was even a little more refined than other junior disciples. Wang Ziyan didn't want to delve into it, everyone would have their own secrets, as long as they were loyal to the sect, nothing else mattered.

Wang Ziyan took out a storage bag, took out a jade plaque from it, and placed a porcelain vase and two stones on the stone table.

These three things are the main reasons why Li Zhe hurriedly came to report.

Monks in the middle stage of the spirit introduction can practice all kinds of spells, and this jade plate is a pass that can enter the library cave in the lower courtyard of Yunmeng. With this jade plaque, the registered disciples have the right to enter the library cave and choose all kinds of books at will.

The porcelain bottle contained ten green pills, called "Spiritual Cultivation Pill", which was mainly used by monks during the spiritual introduction period to take when cultivating, which could release a large amount of spiritual energy for the monks to absorb to speed up the progress of cultivation.

As for the two stones, Li Zhe knew at a glance that they were two lower-grade spirit stones.

Li Zhe has lived in the Yunmeng Courtyard for three years, and through Zhong Ling'er's help, he has long understood the common sense of the cultivation realm very clearly.

The spirit stone is a stone that contains the aura of heaven and earth, which is mined from the spirit stone vein. The appearance of the spirit stone vein is completely natural, and it cannot be imitated by manpower, and a vein needs millions of years of evolution to finally form, so the spirit stone is a non-renewable resource, and there is one less piece with one.

The spirit stone contains a large amount of heaven and earth aura, and the monk can directly extract the aura in the spirit stone to cultivate or replenish mana. It's just that the effect of the spirit stone in this regard is much weaker than the elixir, and if there is a corresponding elixir, the average monk will not use the spirit stone in this way.

The main function of the spirit stone is to arrange the magic circle and drive some special magic weapons, such as puppets and so on. The operation of the formation also needs to be driven by spiritual energy, and generally a large formation like the sect's mountain protection array will be directly arranged on the spiritual vein, and the spiritual energy of the spiritual vein will be directly extracted for the use of the large array.

However, those magic circles that are temporarily laid when facing the enemy must rely on spirit stones to provide spiritual energy to ensure operation, and you can't choose the location of the enemy on the spiritual veins every time, so spirit stones are essential.

There is also a more important role of spirit stones, which is circulation. Monks often have to communicate with each other and exchange various cultivation resources. Bartering directly has too many limitations and is very inconvenient. It would be much more convenient if there was something that everyone agreed on to act as currency in the transaction.

Because of its practicality, scarcity, and irreproducibility, the spirit stone was chosen by the monks and became the hard currency of the cultivation world. Of course, when exchanging those rare magic weapons and materials that cannot be bought with spirit stones, the monks will still use them in a bartering way.

The quality of the spirit stone root is divided into four levels, which are the lower grade spirit stone, the middle grade spirit stone, the upper grade spirit stone, and the best spirit stone. The exchange ratio between each level of spirit stones is one hundred to one.

Lower-grade spirit stones and middle-grade spirit stones are more common in the cultivation realm, and ordinary ore veins can be produced. High-grade spirit stones are relatively rare, and only large high-quality spirit stone veins can be produced in small quantities.

As for the best spirit stones, they can only be described as extremely rare, at least there is no vein in Youzhou that can be produced.
