Chapter 53 The monk has a disaster

Tai'an Island, inside the island protection array.

"Bottleneck? Calamity?" Li Fan frowned slightly as he flipped through the purchased "Cultivation Miscellaneous Notes".

Since he came back from Wanxian Island a few days ago, he has not stopped practicing for a moment.

Originally, he wanted to strike while the iron was hot, and broke through to the late stage of Qi refining in one fell swoop.

However, he clearly felt that he was not far from a breakthrough, but no matter how Li Fan practiced, he still felt that he was still a little short.

It was this seemingly slight gap that stood in front of Li Fan like a moat.

After reading "Cultivation Miscellaneous Notes", Li Fan finally confirmed that he had encountered a bottleneck.

When practicing in ancient times, there was a saying that there was a bottleneck in practice.

During the cultivation process, the cultivation base may be stuck at a certain node, and one cannot make progress.

In today's world of cultivating immortals, the bottleneck has a greater impact on monks.

Since the middle stage of Qi refining, every immortal cultivator will inevitably encounter bottlenecks when breaking through each small realm.

This kind of bottleneck cannot be broken through by blindly practicing hard.

One must find the opportunity in one's own dark sense, in order to dispel it and break through successfully.

This opportunity may be seeing a painting and drinking a cup of tea.

It may also be a temporary epiphany, a flash of inspiration between life and death.

It may also be the casual remarks of others, the careful guidance of the seniors.

In short, there are no rules to follow, and we can only look at the "number of days" in the dark.

The existence of this bottleneck undoubtedly suppressed the cultivation speed of the immortal cultivators to a large extent.

Like a disaster from heaven, it hinders the cultivators from cultivating.

Therefore, the monks called it the disaster of heaven.

In short, today's catastrophe has come to Li Fan's head.

The plan to let him break through in a short time fell through.

Sitting in the big formation for a few days, Li Fan didn't feel the slightest chance of his breakthrough.

Knowing that this matter cannot be forced in a short period of time, he was not in a hurry, and temporarily put down the practice of "Xiao Yan Shuijue", and started practicing "Golden Medal of Thousand Machines and Jade Universe".

"Thousand Machines Yuhuan Golden Medal" has five layers, corresponding to the five realms of innate, qi refining, foundation building, golden elixir, and Yuanying in ancient times.

The innate realm is a special kind of existence in some sects' martial arts in ancient times.

What is important is to expel all the filthy aura contaminated after birth and return to the state of innate purity.

Those sects believed that it would be easier to comprehend the way of heaven if one started to cultivate from the innate realm.

Both the speed and upper limit of practice will far exceed that of ordinary monks.

Tianji Sect is one of the sects that advocate that all practice starts from the innate.

But since the new law replaced the old law, the monks plundered the world and no longer paid attention to the unity of man and nature.

Naturally, there is no such thing as qi returning to the innate.

But the most basic part of the entire exercise of "Thousand Machines Jade Huan Golden Medal" is the innate realm.

So what Li Fan has to do is to replace the innate with qi refining, and complete the first level of practice.

Generally speaking, replacing a low realm with a high realm will naturally be compatible downwards, and it will often be easier to practice.

But when it comes to the difference in the practice system between the ancient method and the modern method, it is not so easy.

In particular, Li Fan is just a beginner who has practiced for a few years, and his relevant knowledge reserve is seriously insufficient.

This is why it took Li Fan a lot of time just to get started.

This is still in the case of taking Liuli Dan, which has the bonus of understanding.

Now, when Li Fan encountered a bottleneck in practicing "Xiao Yan Shui Jue", he began to practice the second level of "Golden Medal of Thousand Machines and Jade Circles".

He planned to practice the two exercises at the same time to the middle stage of Qi refining, to see if he could use this to break through the bottleneck.

After all, in this era, exercises are precious, and ordinary monks like him who can practice multiple exercises together are really rare.

According to the description in "Golden Medal of Thousand Machines and Jade Circles", after the second layer of the kung fu is successfully cultivated, one can master the supernatural power of "distinguishing the machine".

The so-called "discrimination mechanism", as the name suggests, is to be able to distinguish and sense various qi mechanisms in the world.

This is also the foundation of "Thousand Machines Jade World Gold Medal".

Only by distinguishing and sensing the Qi mechanism first, can there be subsequent capture and refining.

The difficulty of practicing the second level of exercises is even more difficult than Li Fan imagined.

If "Xiao Yan Shui Jue" tells you how to practice in a simple and clear way, there is no nonsense.

Then this "Golden Medal of Thousand Machines and Jade Universe" is to hide how to practice in a bunch of pretentious and mysterious words, so that you can speculate and ponder it yourself.

Not only that, but also from time to time, there are some perceptions of the way of heaven, anecdotes that happened in the ancient practice world, and so on.

All kinds of messes were mixed together, Li Fan just looked dizzy, and his blood was surging.

After reading it once, it seems to understand.I didn't realize it until I was cultivating, but I didn't understand anything.

Fortunately, Li Fan is not someone who gives up lightly.

Even though there were many difficulties, Li Fan was patient and studied every word and sentence.

In Li Fan's assiduous practice, another year has passed.

There was almost no progress in the cultivation of "Golden Medal of Thousand Machines".

Li Fan was not discouraged.

When I went to Ten Thousand Immortals Island for the second time to receive the agency fee, I exchanged 800 contribution points and 5 Tai'an fruits accumulated in two years for some ancient kung fu practice experience.

Afterwards, Li Fan activated the auxiliary cultivation mode in the Profound Sky Realm.

I didn't practice any exercises, I just read these experiences and compared them with my experience summed up in the past year.

Like enlightenment, all kinds of problems that I couldn't figure out in the past have all been answered at this moment.

Seeing the highlights, Li Fan couldn't help dancing and dancing with joy.

At this moment, Li Fan understood a little bit about the so-called hearing of the Tao in the morning, and death in the evening.

Five days passed quickly.

Having realized something, Li Fan hurried back to Tai'an Island, and began to retreat again.

Practicing again this time, it really is not the same as before.

All the obscure and difficult parts of the exercises have been clarified, so naturally there is no obstacle to practice.

Li Fan's mind was quickly immersed in it.

Practice does not know the years.

On this day, a golden fog-shaped aura that was completely different from the water-attribute aura suddenly appeared in Li Fan's dantian.

Li Fan opened his eyes suddenly, with a happy expression on his face.

"The second level of "Golden Medal of Thousand Machines and Jade Circles" has finally been practiced." Li Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

Stretching his slightly stiff body, he turned his head and looked at the time, feeling a little dazed for a while.

Unexpectedly, this retreat actually lasted for a whole year.

In Li Fan's senses, he just felt like he had slept.

Fortunately, hard work always pays off.

Li Fan's heart moved, and as the golden aura gathered in his eyes, he displayed "discrimination".

"Let me see what the so-called Heaven and Earth Qi Mechanism really looks like." Li Fan was a little excited when he tried his supernatural power for the first time.

He looked towards Tai'an Island.

But he saw a scene that made him feel terrified.

Thick black dead air, like a dense cloud, shrouded the entire Tai'an Island!
The thick dead air is almost as real as it is, setting off Tai'an Island, which is still in the daytime, like a hellish hell!
Remove the spell and cast it again.

After reading it several times in a row, Li Fan was sure that he was not mistaken.

"How could this be?" Li Fan was puzzled.

Suddenly, as if he finally remembered something, he quickly conjured up the water mirror technique and looked at himself in the mirror.

only see,
Li Fan in the mirror, the dead energy gathered on his head is a thousand times higher than that of ordinary people on the island!
