Chapter 10: Breakthrough

The mountains don't know the years.

In front of the waterfall in the depths of the valley, there was Zhang Yan cultivating "Qingling Gong" every morning, and now he had reached the peak of the first layer of the Qi refining period, but no matter how he cultivated, the increase in mana was minimal.

However, after a period of time, he found that every time he cultivated, the mana in the dantian was more condensed, and his originally depressed mood became invigorated.

And at noon and in the afternoon, he specialized in cultivating the Flame Bomb Technique and the Winding Technique.

The Flame Bullet is an instantaneous spell that requires little to no concentration and time-running spells, and can be taken by surprise against enemies.

And the winding technique, in the fighting method, can not only slow down the enemy's action, in the dense forest, as long as the cultivation is not too much higher than yourself, you can generally trap the opponent, if the two spells are used properly, you can make yourself have a greater chance of winning in the fighting method.

The trick of the Flame Bullet Technique was very simple, and Zhang Yan only read it once and remembered it.

However, when he really cultivated, he still encountered a lot of difficulties, and the first time he cultivated, he felt a slight heat flow from the meridians of his arm, and the heat flow slowly spread from his arm to his fingers and disappeared.

Zhang Yan was not discouraged, and began to carry the magic of the flame bomb technique over and over again, and the operation of the mana in the meridians became smoother and smoother with his continuous cultivation, until the end of the day, but between a few breaths, a fireworks-like energy gathered on the index finger, but the flame bomb technique was condensed.

In this way, he worked hard to practice the flame bullet technique for several days, until the mana in the dantian was almost exhausted, although the flame bullet technique was still condensed, but now as long as the mind moved slightly, the heat instantly condensed on his fingertips, which made Zhang Yan excited for a while.

So Zhang Yan changed his cultivation method, no longer a monotonous meditation and cultivation of Qingling Gong, but a crazy practice of Yantan every day, and only after the mana was exhausted did he meditate and cultivate, restore his mana, and so on.

On this day, Zhang Yan meditated and recovered his mana, and once again practiced the Flame Bullet Technique.

Now he almost didn't need to run the spell for this spell, and as soon as his mind moved, the mana instantly condensed in his fingertips.

But this time, unexpectedly, he only used the magic slightly, and suddenly a thumb-sized firework shot out from his fingertips, and under his unpreparedness, the fireworks instantly pierced through his coarse cloth robe, but fortunately he moved fast enough, and at the moment when the clothes were burning, he had already jumped into the waterhole in front of him.

Zhang Yan looked at his clothes that had been burned out of a big hole in the waterhole, speechless for a while, but he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes, after nearly a month of hard work, he finally practiced the flame bomb technique.

After returning to the house and changing into clean clothes, Zhang Yan began to practice the flame bomb technique in the front yard of the house, and the spell became more and more proficient.

However, when he saw that the yard was scorched everywhere by himself, he felt that he was too excited, and he had to stop, and his cultivation place was changed to a waterfall deep in the valley.

The power of the fireball emitted by the Flame Bullet Technique made Zhang Yan very happy, for the current early stage of the Qi Refining Period, the attack power of his spell could completely threaten the enemy of the second layer of the Qi Refining Period, and with his current mana, he could almost send out more than a dozen rounds in a row.

Zhang Yan was already very satisfied with this, even if he was given a high-level spell, with his current cultivation, he would not be able to cultivate.

However, the life-saving spell is more important than the attack spell, so in the next few days, after getting familiar with the flame bomb again, Zhang Yan began to practice the winding technique frantically.

The Winding Technique is generally easier to practice in dense forests, but once fully mastered, it can almost be unleashed as long as it is not in the Wasteland Desert.

In just half a month, Zhang Yan basically mastered the winding technique, but he did not stop practicing the two spells, but used the two spells together.

The two sets of spells are used in a staggered manner, and the most important thing is the control and conversion of mana.

This made Zhang Yan exert a lot of effort, and it didn't take more than a while to start before his mana was exhausted.

Zhang Yan was happy about this, practicing the cooperation of the two spells while cultivating, and the mana in the dantian was constantly condensed.

After disappearing for five months, the tiger re-entered the elixir garden, still with a fat figure, squinting slightly, humming an out-of-tune tune, swaying from side to side as he walked, with a cloth bag draped over his shoulders, obviously coming to fetch elixir for Elder Hu again.

Tuesday Tiger arrived at the gate of Zhang Yan's courtyard, ready to step in, but was suddenly entangled in his feet by a huge green vine that appeared out of thin air, and was directly imprisoned in place.

Tuesday Tiger's face was pale, and he instantly pinched his hands, only half a breath, and a half-human-high ice wall had been erected in front of him, and when the ice wall appeared, the inch of fireworks just hit it.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the ice wall exploded, filling the smoke, and the violent coughing of the Tuesday Tiger could be heard in the smoke.

When the smoke cleared, the ice wall was gone, the fireworks were gone, and half of the green vines that had been wrapped around Tuesday Tiger's feet were shattered, and Tuesday Tiger's face was covered with a layer of black ash.

"Ahem...... Which bastard of his grandmother sneaked up on Lao Tzu?" Tuesday Tiger staggered up from the ground and yelled and cursed in all directions.

"That, Fat Zhou, you're okay, right?" Zhang Yan came out of the courtyard at this time, scratched his head with his hand, and asked with an embarrassed expression.

"I said junior brother, the spell just now couldn't have been released by you, right?" Zhou Erhu looked at Zhang Yan's embarrassed expression, instantly saw the clue, looked aggrieved, and said, "Ouch, you almost took my senior brother's life! I said junior brother, why did you also go to the second layer of qi refining, I think I have worked very hard, plus I can often pick up the cheapness of the semi-finished pills discarded by my master, and now I have the cultivation of the second layer of qi refining, is it that you are smarter than me? How is this possible!"

Tuesday Hu's previous sentence made Zhang Yan feel a little guilty, but the latter words couldn't help but make him speechless for a while, and said: "Fat Zhou, I am still cultivating at the first level of Qi cultivation now, but I just attacked you by surprise, that, just now I thought that a beast broke into the park......"

Tuesday Hu rolled his eyes, and he didn't care anymore, he smiled proudly: "I'll just say, how can you be smarter than me, senior brother is now a second-level Qi cultivator, if it wasn't for your sneak attack just now, how could I suffer a loss." ”

"By the way, Elder Hu asked me to bring you two Qi Refining Scatters that have improved your cultivation, saying that they are a reward for you in the past few months. Tuesday Tiger said and took out a cyan porcelain vase and handed it to Zhang Yan.

"Refining Qi Dispersion? Great!" Zhang Yan happily took it, he had been looking forward to this elixir for a long time, with his cultivation now, eighty percent of a Qi refining dispersion should be able to let him enter the second layer of Qi refining, opened it and smelled it, patted Zhou Erhu on the shoulder, and said, "Xie Lu, thank you Fat Zhou, there is something I need to help in the future, just say it!"

"Hehe, this is a good junior brother, but don't worry, it's probably my senior brother who will take care of you in the future!" Tuesday Tiger patted his chest, raised his bag, walked towards the elixir garden, turned his back to Zhang Yan, and said, "Senior brother, go and cultivate, otherwise you will be pulled further away by me in the future." ”

Watching the chubby back of the Tiger on Tuesday go away, Zhang Yan couldn't help but smile, and then rushed to the waterfall in the depths of the valley with the medicine bottle in his arms.

When he came to the waterfall, Zhang Yan immediately sat down cross-legged, slowly transported the Qingling Gong, and let himself reach the best state, and swallowed a refining qi dispersion with excitement and apprehension.

The pill melted in the mouth, and a huge spiritual power instantly spread all over the limbs and hundreds of remains, Zhang Yan did not dare to slack off, and carried the exercises, and the spiritual power was guided along the meridians around the body to slowly gather towards the dantian.

Zhang Yan could feel that his mana suddenly became more powerful, but what made him depressed was that when the effect of the medicine dissipated, he still couldn't break through to the second layer of qi refining, and he felt that he only needed to make a little more progress to break through to the second layer.

I was still too optimistic, and my qualifications were worse than expected.

As a last resort, I originally wanted to leave a Qi Refining Powder as a second layer of Qi Refining to improve my cultivation, but now I can only take it.

What made Zhang Yan really relieved was that after he took the second Qi Refining Pill, Xiu Wei finally broke through to the second layer of the Qi Refining Period, feeling the mana in the dantian that was much thicker than the first layer, Zhang Yan turned around and plunged into the pool under the waterfall, until his whole body was dripping with pleasure.

With the improvement of cultivation, the power of the Flame Bomb Technique and the Winding Technique has also increased a lot, and the number of times it can be released has also increased, which made Zhang Yan excited for a while, and also made him look forward to the spell Gathering Spirit Technique, which can only be cultivated at the fourth level of Qi refining.
