Seeking Immortality

The entire world of immortal cultivation is in chaos. Sects are destroyed every day, and monks die every day. Under the mysterious methods of the "Eight Desolate Palaces", once yesterday's comrades are arrested, they are likely to kill themselves the next day. The murderer, at the same time, more sects and monks disappeared one after another, and the entire world of immortality was in panic.

At the same time, in response to the arrogance and crazy expansion of the "Eight Desolate Palaces", a large number of monks led by the Righteous Path Alliance also launched a series of revenge. The main hall and the seven branch halls of the "Eight Desolate Palaces" were successively destroyed by the Righteous Path Alliance, but the barbarians There was no trace of the heavenly calamity. Although it killed a large number of "Eight Desolate Palace" monks, it did not harm the roots.

In short, the entire world of immortality, and even the mortal world, is in chaos.

But no matter how noisy and chaotic the world of immortality is, for the time being it still has nothing to do with Jiuhua, which is closing the mountain. The entire Jiuhua, under the protection of the reversed "Nine Extremes Formation", is still peaceful. Every monk is practicing hard, either consciously or under the supervision of his master.

Although the "Bahuang Palace" was extremely arrogant during this period, it did not cause trouble to Jiuhua. After all, everyone knew the power of reversing the "Nine Extremes Formation".

However, four years after the catastrophe began, although Jiuhua Mountain was still peaceful, some tension gradually emerged beneath the calm.

Originally, Jiuhua Mountain contained nearly three thousand years of accumulation from the beginning of the Jiuhua Master to the present. However, whether it is to reverse the "Nine-pole Formation" or to open the "Nine-Pole Cave", it requires the consumption of a lot of material resources. In addition, The supplies for the elders, the gifts for the disciples, and some emergency supplies should be left aside. In just a short period of time, these reserves have been almost consumed.

It is rumored. Jiuhua's closure can only last for another year, and one year later, Jiuhua will inevitably be involved in this catastrophe.

Thinking of the various legends of previous catastrophes, even the elders felt a little panicked. Because of this, Jiuhua Mountain rarely gave up their disputes during this period and focused entirely on practicing and increasing their cultivation.

In a way. This is a good thing for Jiuhua. While the Righteous Alliance was busy fighting with the people of the "Bahuang Palace", Jiuhua Mountain was cultivating and recuperating. It must be said that Liu Huaxiang's decision to close the mountain after the damage to Jiuhua's statement was correct.

At the same time, Jiuhua back mountain. Xu Qingfan's cave was even more peaceful.

At this time. Xu Qingfan's retreat has lasted for a full eleven years. Such a long period of retreat is rare even in the entire world of immortality. Except for those masters in the Mahayana period, they often stay in retreat for dozens or even hundreds of years. . Generally speaking, monks in the alchemy stage. Each retreat lasts for up to six or seven years.

You should know that although the longer the retreat lasts, the greater the effect it will produce, but similarly, the longer the retreat lasts, the stronger the irritability and monotony produced in the heart will be, resulting in an unstable mood. The consequences are likely to be not only a long retreat but a loss of all previous efforts. There is also the danger of going too far.

Therefore, those great masters in the alchemy stage spend six or seven years in retreat. Even after four or five years, he would go out to calm his mind, and then continue to retreat after a period of time. It is extremely rare for people like Xu Qingfan to engage in risky behavior in retreat for more than ten years.

However, most of the time, risk-taking and success go hand in hand.

Ting'er naturally understands these things, so after Xu Qingfan spent seven years in retreat, her expression has always been full of worry. Did she stop in front of the house where she was retreating with Xu Qingfan, as if she was expecting that Xu Qingfan would break through at the next moment? Close out. It's just that the scene she expected has never appeared in the past eleven years.

As for Xu Qingfan's cave, it has been silent since the sudden and terrifying explosion. Only a few barriers outside the house that shone with various colors of light under the sunlight proved that Xu Qingfan did not have any accidents at this time.

At this time, the scene in Xu Qingfan's cave was still the same as it had been every day for the past eleven years. Ting'er was giving a lecture to Zhang Ningmei, while Bai Yu was practicing martial arts alone.

During the eleven years of Xu Qingfan's retreat, his three disciples have also been making continuous progress. Just three days ago, Ting'er reached the middle stage of Xudan's cultivation after three months of retreat. On the other side, Zhang Ningmei and Both Bai Yu and Bai Yu have reached the late stage of Bigu cultivation, and according to Ting'er's judgment, Bai Yu has broken through to the Spiritual Silence stage in the past few days.

During this period of time, Zhang Ningmei's cultivation has gradually caught up with Bai Yu's, but this is beyond Ting'er's expectation. Thinking about the reasons, firstly, Bai Yu's interest is more focused on practicing martial arts. Unlike Zhang Ningmei, who meditates every night to have a peaceful mind, the second reason is that although Zhang Ningmei's qualifications are far inferior to Bai Yu's, her understanding is higher than Bai Yu's. The third point is what Xu Qingfan and Ting'er have ignored before, that is, as Zhang Ningmei's spiritual consciousness becomes stronger and stronger, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth she activates through her spiritual consciousness is far more than that of ordinary people, so although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth intercepted is only Bai Yu's Half, but the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that was aroused was more, but the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered in the body was not much less than that of Bai Yu.

Of course, the most important thing is the numerous and extremely precious elixirs given by Xu Qingfan before retreating, which greatly shortened the progress of the two people's cultivation.

It is worth mentioning that Bai Yu has now mastered all the martial arts of Xujiazhai passed down by Xu Qingfan. You should know that there are many martial arts that even Xu Qingfan does not know. Of course, this is also related to Xu Qingfan's lack of practice, but Bai Yu has created some martial arts suitable for his own use through the martial arts passed down by "Xujiazhai". In just over ten years, he has gone from learning to creating. He can only be described as a gifted person.

In addition, as Zhang Ningmei's cultivation level improves, her spiritual consciousness, which was originally at the level of ordinary people, grows faster. At this time, she is only in the late stage of fasting, but her spiritual consciousness has reached the peak of spiritual silence. According to Xu Qingfan's previous instructions, Ting'er taught her the "art of destroying gods" three years ago. Now, Zhang Ningmei can skillfully use spiritual consciousness to attack.

At this time, Ting'er absent-mindedly told Zhang Ningmei some methods of spiritual energy circulation, while looking at the room where Xu Qingfan was from time to time.

Zhang Ningmei soon discovered Ting'er's abnormality. In fact, Ting'er's condition had been like this since five years ago.

After understanding Ting'er's thoughts, Zhang Ningmei smiled slightly and asked: "Sister Ting'er, if the master wants to come out of retreat, it should be within this year, right? After all, Jiuhua will be opened in a year."

Ting'er nodded silently. Although Xu Qingfan was obviously in the same courtyard, and it was normal for a cultivator not to see each other for more than ten years, Xu Qingfan began to retreat shortly after he had just untied his knot, and he retreated for such a long time. In addition to some worries, Ting'er also had a strong longing in her heart.

Seeing the trance hidden under Ting'er's cold expression, Zhang Ningmei's smile became even stronger. Just when she was about to say something else, she saw Ting'er's face suddenly change. She turned her head and looked at the house where Xu Qingfan was. At the same time, an extremely powerful aura suddenly came out from Xu Qingfan's house. With this sudden aura, the spiritual energy between the heaven and earth was in chaos and rushed into this house in large quantities. At the same time, the fluctuation of the spiritual energy turned into fairy clouds, and the vibration sound turned into fairy music, which constantly surrounded the outside of Xu Qingfan's house.

In the world of cultivating immortals, there are two terms: qualitative breakthrough, big breakthrough, and small breakthrough. Qualitative breakthrough refers to the breakthrough of the entire realm, such as the breakthrough from the foundation-building stage to the elixir stage, and from the elixir stage to the Mahayana stage. After the breakthrough, the entire person's cultivation and realm will have a qualitative change, while the big breakthrough is the breakthrough of the small realm within the big realm, such as the breakthrough from the virtual elixir stage to the real elixir stage, and from the real elixir stage to the golden elixir stage. The breakthrough of the sub-realm within the small realm is called a small breakthrough, such as the breakthrough from the middle stage of the real elixir to the late stage of the real elixir.

And this situation shows that someone has made a small breakthrough. Ting'er, Zhang Ningmei, and Baiyu ran nervously to the outside of Xu Qingfan's house, quietly waiting for something.

Obviously, Xu Qingfan's realm has broken through again, and after eleven years of seclusion, Xu Qingfan is finally going to come out.

After a long time, the strange situation surrounding Xu Qingfan's house finally subsided slowly.

At the same time, Xu Qingfan was standing quietly in his house, closing his eyes and carefully experiencing the changes in his body.

Although long-term seclusion is dangerous, the effect is also great. After improving the "Wild Wind", after eight years of continuous practice and meditation, Xu Qingfan's realm finally reached the late stage of the solid elixir from the middle stage. After the realm breakthrough, the last four spiritual seals left in his body by Niu Hualian were instantly unlocked and merged into Xu Qingfan's body.

Now, Xu Qingfan is not far from the golden elixir stage in terms of the spiritual energy in his body.

At the same time, the improvement of "Life and Death Art" has made great progress in eight years of meditation. The reason why Xu Qingfan can break through to the late stage of the solid elixir is also related to the understanding of a lot of heavenly ways when perfecting "Life and Death Art".

It can be said that Xu Qingfan has completed four of the five goals set before the seclusion that year. The only thing left is to improve the "outside body incarnation" technique.

After a long time, Xu Qingfan finally slowly opened his eyes and took a step to walk out the door. His eyes swept through the room, but the scene he saw made him stunned.
