Chapter 90: The Bottleneck
After Chen Zhi gently inserted the knife into his pocket, he suddenly raised his hand, and a shining talisman flew out of his hand, and then, he turned around with his eyes closed and stopped looking.
At the moment when Chen Zhi's figure had just turned, a round of scorching sun with a diameter of a foot suddenly burst out in mid-air, which was the flash charm inspired by Chen Zhi.
As soon as the flash charm exploded, the bodies of the black-robed people lying on the ground suddenly erupted into a burst of screams, and then on those bodies that seemed to have nothing, clusters of light of various colors suddenly appeared, but these light clusters were under the strong light of the flash charm, and after a few screams of pain, they burst out with a "poof", and the faint light flashed out, turned into a few curling green smoke, and disappeared into the air.
It turned out that Chen Zhi had discovered early on that these black-robed people were all ghost cultivators of the Evil Ghost Valley, and his experience of dealing with the people of the Evil Ghost Valley many times made Chen Zhi quite a little bit of research on the ghost path exercises. He knew very well that the most difficult thing about the Ghost Dao Exercises was that it was difficult to really kill them with ordinary methods.
Due to the special nature of the ghost path exercises, their primordial spirits can leave their bodies in the sunlight of normal intensity without being burned, so even if these people's bodies are destroyed, the primordial spirits will easily escape from their bodies to find a new one, and in the cultivation world, this behavior is called seizure.
However, this kind of behavior of taking away the renunciation, which is deeply hated by ordinary cultivators, is encouraged in the ghost path, and due to the special reasons of the practice of cultivation, people in the ghost path are not like ordinary cultivators who can only take away the sacrifice once in their lifetime, but can repeat it, which also causes many people to be quite disgusted with ghost cultivation.
And this is also one of the reasons why ghost cultivation is extremely difficult.
However, after dealing with these ghost cultivators many times, Chen Zhi also came up with a way to completely kill these ghost cultivators.
That is, when he just escaped from his body, he suddenly illuminated it with a strong light, so that if the other party was caught off guard, most of them could be killed, of course, it is difficult to say about a strong man like Si Guqian.
You must know that the Yuan Shen is the most delicate thing, if you want to kill them, it is actually very easy, a random ball of fire or a spell can kill them, but Chen Zhi does not do this. Because this is only for ordinary monks, for ghost cultivation, there is a need to find another way.
And if you kill one by one, the speed is too slow, and the rest of the ghost cultivators may take the opportunity to rush into his body to snatch it, although his Yuan Shen is thick, one or two are not afraid, but a good tiger can't stand a group of wolves, so he didn't hesitate to sacrifice a sunshine talisman, so that these ghost cultivators' Yuan Shen completely disappeared from the world.
"Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Senior Brother Chen, but I didn't expect Senior Brother Chen to help me solve such a big fence just now, Huiyuan is here to thank you. After a while, a gray-robed monk came to Chen Zhi and bowed with his hands folded.
Chen Zhi nodded slightly, and after a deep groan, Chong Huiyuan said: "There seemed to be some violent aura fluctuations coming from the top of the mountain in the south just now, but now this fluctuation has disappeared again, you are closer, do you know what happened on the other side of the road?"
"This ...... It's a shame to say that because we have been hiding in this Luo Mi cover and struggling to resist the attacks of these ghost cultivators, we didn't notice the aura fluctuations that Senior Brother Chen said, but in fact, after being blocked by Luo Mi cover, we couldn't feel the aura fluctuations of the outside world. At this time, another monk stepped forward, and when he heard Chen Zhi ask this, he immediately said with some shame.
"Yes? Thank you so much, Chen still wants to confirm, how many senior brothers do you want to go along?" Chen Zhi listened, his face did not show any surprised expression, as if he had already been mentally prepared for the two of them to answer like this, and after seeing that several people did not mean to go together, he turned around and left without saying more.
"This ...... Senior Brother, what do you think of Senior Brother Chen's body method just now? Between movements, there are still so many afterimages coming out, and there doesn't seem to be a similar exercise in our Guangyuan Temple?" After seeing Chen Zhi leave, another monk stepped forward and asked with some surprise.
"Senior brother, although it is the first time I have seen Senior Brother Chen perform this set of exercises, but I have also heard of it a little, this is not a kind of exercise, but a martial arts body method in the secular world, but such a clever body method, I really have never seen it, in fact, I should have never even heard of it. "Monk Huiyuan seems to be richer than these people in terms of experience, and he really recognized the origin of Chen Zhi's body at once.
A strange look suddenly flashed in Monk Huiyuan's eyes, and then he said something that made everyone present stunned.
"It seems that you don't seem to have noticed that Senior Brother Chen Zhi is not only superb, but also has broken through the middle stage of qi induction and reached the realm of the late stage of qi induction, although he entered the temple later than ours, and he also majored in the art of making talismans, but his progress is still so fast, and the realm is already higher than everyone we are here, is it really a legendary cultivation wizard?"
"What?"
"I really didn't notice. Senior brother, is what you said true?"
"When did you break through, the last time I remember seeing him, he was just an early cultivator. ”
"You're an old Huang Li, he has already broken through the early stage and entered the middle realm, but when he broke through the middle realm, I really haven't found out. ”
As soon as these words came out, it immediately caused a lot of commotion among the monks, and everyone talked about it.
"Okay, who told you that you didn't use your spiritual sense to visit Senior Brother Chen just now, now that people are far away, there is no chance to investigate, but then again, Senior Brother Chen doesn't seem to have been in the cultivation realm for a long time, so it seems that he is very likely to break through the Qi Induction Period and enter the Dan Period, if this really happens, then Senior Brother Chen may become our elder in the future, so it's better for us to talk less behind our backs now." ”
After listening to everyone's words, Monk Huiyuan suddenly frowned and remembered something, and suddenly reminded him.
As soon as they heard Monk Huiyuan say this, the monks remembered something, and suddenly became silent.
However, if Chen Zhi heard these words, he would definitely cry and laugh, his breakthrough was completely made by taking drugs, he was not a genius, and another breakthrough, even he himself was a little confused.
You must know that monks in the Qi Induction Period like them are at the bottom of the monastic realm, and although they are also called monks in popular terms, they cannot be regarded as truly entering the monastic realm. This is because there are so many cultivators at this level in the monastic world, but very few of them really go further, and the reason for this is that there are different opinions.
Some of them believe that the reason why it is difficult for monks in the Qi Induction Period to break through the bottleneck and reach the realm of the Dan Stage is caused by personal qualifications, and whether a person can break through the bottleneck is not only to use the power of the pill to rush through the level, but also to break through the bottleneck by himself in the life and death struggle, in addition to these two methods, it is to break through the bottleneck by his own penance.
The medicine that monks often used to break through the bottleneck in ancient times has basically disappeared in modern society, and if you want to break through the bottleneck by relying on medicine alone, you don't have hundreds of millions of assets, and you basically don't want to reach the Dan stage, such harsh conditions make almost all cultivators choose the other two ways to break through the bottleneck.
But even so, there are still countless cultivators who fail to rush through the level and stay in the qi induction period for the rest of their lives.
The reason for this, in addition to the fact that the life and death fighting method is too dangerous and often causes the fall of monks, is that it is also necessary to rely on one's own cultivation to break through, but this is basically only possible for a few people.
And all this is attributed to the reason of qualifications.
However, there are also some people who believe that whether or not they can break through the bottleneck is related to the cultivation exercises, especially the major exercises, for example, some people's major exercises are very powerful and take advantage of the fighting methods, but such exercises have a fatal weakness when they hit the bottleneck in the future. Even powerful exercises usually consume a lot of mana, and when it comes to impacting the bottleneck, it may be due to the body's habituation, and it also requires a great accumulation of mana before it is possible to break through that layer of bottleneck and complete the leap in cultivation.
In this way, many people who cultivate powerful major exercises have been unable to break through the bottleneck due to the fact that the aura that can be stored in the dantian cannot meet the requirements of breaking through the bottleneck, and in the end, their achievements fall short, and they have never been able to break through that layer of bottlenecks and complete the leap.
Chen Zhi has never chosen his major because of his halfway entry into the Dao, but because of this, he has been blessed by misfortune, and he has some advantages in cultivating breakthroughs.
At this point, if Chen Zhi himself knew the truth, I am afraid he would also cry and laugh, right?
Therefore, people who are born with a fast absorption speed of spiritual energy, or who can store a large amount of spiritual energy in the dantian, are considered to be extremely qualified talents and can easily break through the bottleneck.
Because monks are absorbing aura at the same time, they are also constantly losing these aura, only if you absorb it fast enough, can you ensure the true absorption rate, just from this point of view, people who are born with fast aura absorption speed are also called geniuses in the cultivation world.
It is precisely because of this that only monks who have entered the stage of attainment or higher can they truly be accepted by all the monastic circles and become cultivators in the true sense of the word, concentrating on the pursuit of the Heavenly Dao.
Judging from the current situation, compared with the theory of breaking through the bottleneck of qualifications, there are still more people who support the theory of qualifications, but in the actual acceptance of apprentices, basically no one asks to check qualifications.
In modern society, cultivation has been more difficult than in ancient times, I don't know how many times the Tao of Lu, elixir, aura are extremely scarce, someone comes to worship your door is good, you still pick and choose?
However, not checking qualifications does not mean that the theory that qualifications affect the speed of cultivation does not exist.
It's just that Chen Zhi didn't know all this, at this time he was standing in a basin surrounded by bamboo forests in Bailu Mountain, looking at a stone platform in front of him with a somewhat ugly face.
