"Hopefully, it won't really be ...... what I thought it would be. Tintze took out a box from the side and thought worriedly in his heart.

When I opened the box, there was a medicinal herb inside, which was the red Ling grass that Ding Qi picked on the mountain yesterday.

Red Ling grass is not a precious herb, this herb is not long, and it is completely different from the piece of purple mushroom that Ding Qi picked before.

When Ding Qi was able to pick that piece of purple mushroom, it was completely a big luck. Otherwise, it would be impossible to find that precious medicinal herb on the outskirts of the mountain forest.

Every time he went up the mountain, he paid attention to his surroundings, and only yesterday he encountered a red grass that was not very precious.

Now, Ding Qi looked at this red grass intently, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

If he wants to verify the conjecture in his heart, he can just use this medicinal herb.

Although this red grass is not precious, it is the main material for refining medicines that assist in cultivation.

This kind of medicine used to assist in cultivation is an extremely ordinary commodity in the rivers and lakes, and it is not a powerful thing, and its effect on increasing power is very limited.

Ding Qi just wanted to use the red grass in his hand to refine this medicine.

He wanted to refine this medicine, not because he wanted to rely on it to increase his strength. With Ding Qi's understanding of this drug, if it is not taken for a long time, the effect of this drug on the growth of power will be very small, and it will be meaningless to take it, and there is no comparison with the powerful effect of the Soul Enhancement Pill he refined at the beginning.

The purpose of refining this medicine was to help Ding Qi judge the cause of the problem in the cultivation of the exercises.

Ding Qi knew that if a martial artist's cultivation encountered a bottleneck, he could only wait patiently, relying on time to grind little by little, even if he took the pill, the growth rate of his true qi would not increase in any way.

He refines medicine to verify this.

"After taking the drug, the growth rate of true qi still does not change, which means that it is still in the bottleneck period, but if the growth rate increases, it can only be the bad situation that I guess. Ding Qi frowned when he thought of this.

It's just a bottleneck problem, that's okay to say, at most, it only shows that the innate skills are more special, and the time it takes to lift the bottleneck is longer than that of ordinary martial arts. Wait a few more days, and you can be lifted and return to your normal cultivation speed.

But if something else happens, it's very bad.

What that means, Tincey knows very well.

He looked at the red grass in the box, and whispered to himself: "Wait until tomorrow when the medicine is refined, you can make a judgment, I hope it is not that case." ”

Suppressing the worries in his heart, Ding Qi arranged his plans for tomorrow.

He needs to go to Liangcheng tomorrow and buy several other medicinal materials that he needs to use in addition to the red Ling grass. These herbs are very cheap and don't cost much money. Compared with the medicinal materials used by Ding Qi to refine the Soul Enhancement Pill at the beginning, the price is very different. Even with the small amount of money he has now, he can easily afford it.

This medicine is also very easy to refine, and after buying the herbs, it can be refined on the same day.

As planned, Ding Qi went to Liangcheng the next day to buy all the medicinal materials he needed, and successfully refined the medicine and swallowed it.

The verification results, which came out in the afternoon of the same day, were the last thing Ding Qi wanted to see. After swallowing the medicine, the True Qi experienced a rapid increase for a short period of time, and then quickly returned to its original state, becoming slow.

"It's not a bottleneck at all...... It's a cultivation dilemma. ”

After having this judgment, Ding Qi's heart sank.

When a person in the martial arts cultivates a certain exercise, due to the limitations of his own qualifications, it is likely that he will not be able to cultivate the exercise to the highest level. After cultivating to a certain level, it becomes extremely slow and difficult.

This situation is different from the bottleneck, there will be no breakthrough, and the growth of true qi will become rapid and continuous, that is, the cultivation dilemma.

This is the case that Ding Qi is encountering now. It also shows that his cultivation of innate skills in the future will become extremely difficult. Without the assistance of external objects such as pills, it is very likely that you will not be able to break through the third layer for more than ten years, not to mention the exercises behind the innate gong, which will only become more and more difficult to break through.

"But this is obviously only the third layer, it is the very beginning stage of innate power, how can it be ....... Ding Qi thought of this, his face was full of doubt, and full of solemnity.

When a martial artist's cultivation enters a predicament, it will not appear until the later stage of the exercises. Ding Qi has only just cultivated to the second layer now, and compared to the innate skills of the thirteenth layer, it can only be regarded as just beginning. Now he is in a predicament, which makes him quite stunned.

So much so that at the beginning, Ding Qi always thought that his cultivation was slow, just because he had encountered a bottleneck.

How did Ding Qi know that the exercises he practiced were very different from ordinary martial arts exercises.

If it was just the Jianghu Exercises, even if it was the top-notch kind, it would indeed not enter the cultivation dilemma so quickly. At most, it will only be when you cultivate to a high level that you will find it difficult to cultivate. In the previous cultivation, you will only encounter a few bottlenecks, and it will take some time to break through.

Innate Gong, but it is a method of cultivating immortals.

This immortal cultivation technique is almost every two or three layers, and the cultivation difficulty of the exercise will be greatly increased. For cultivators with good qualifications, the feeling may not be obvious, and they can be overcome by relying on their excellent qualifications. But for Ding Qi, who had ordinary qualifications, he immediately felt the sharp increase in difficulty.

His cultivation speed has also plummeted.

Since he had a judgment on the current situation in his heart, Ding Qi also tried to use other cultivation methods to stimulate his current slow cultivation speed.

First of all, he gave up the cultivation of the method of deep water, and built a set of facilities that could be used to cultivate the method of fiery water in a short period of time, trying to use this new method to stimulate his cultivation, hoping to have some effect.

But to Ding Qi's regret, his cultivation situation has not improved.

As a last resort, Ding Qi picked up the cultivation method of ordinary meditation again, hoping for a miracle. However, the final result was that the cultivation speed had naturally decreased instead of increasing, and it had become even slower, and the speed had dropped several times compared to when the method was in dire straits.

In the end, after all kinds of attempts, Ding Qi finally didn't find any way to increase his cultivation speed.

At this time, Ding Qi also had to worry about picking anchovies and military service in the coming year, and his mood became anxious.

According to his original estimate, if he wanted to pick enough anchovy grass to pay for military service in the coming year, he needed to cultivate to the third level of innate skill. But with the current cultivation speed, it is obviously impossible.

Ding Qi took out the brocade silk that recorded the innate skills from his arms again, and held it in his hand with a look of hard thought: "Only by cultivating the innate skills to the third layer can the search efficiency of the anchovy grass be improved to more than five plants a day, it was only my original guess." However, with the magic of this innate skill, everything is still difficult to say. It is very likely that you don't need to cultivate the third layer, but you can actually pick a sufficient amount of anchovies. ”

Thinking of this, Ding Qi put away the brocade silk again, and his original anxious mood gradually calmed down a little.

Ding Qi knew that the cultivation speed of the Innate Gong had become slow and could not be changed. What he can do now is to practice the method of water depth as usual, slowly increase his true qi, improve the search efficiency of medicinal herbs as much as possible, and wait for the arrival of the solar term for the growth of anchovy grass.
