Longevity starts with learning

"Three hundred and ninety-one..."

In the house, Chu Mu counted the belongings in the storage talisman.

After half a year, excluding his own consumption and a small part given to Xu Yuan, he still had three hundred and ninety-one Yangmai Pills left, and there were as many as thirty-one of them with a Dan pattern!

As for the spirit stones, even if he spent a lot of spirit stones in magic practice in half a year, he still had a huge fortune now.

Nearly three thousand five hundred low-grade spirit stones!

If the remaining three hundred and ninety-one Yangmai Pills are counted, then in just over half a year, his net worth has exceeded ten thousand spirit stones.

Not to mention, in the storage bag given by Wang Mazi, there are still raw materials for Yangmai Pills worth nearly one thousand seven hundred low-grade spirit stones.

All refined, at least three hundred and forty Yangmai Pills, the value is also more than five thousand low-grade spirit stones.

Such a huge wealth, it is not surprising that people noticed, spied on, and hunted down!

If it were him, as long as he had the ability, he would probably be tempted and even take action!

"Money can move people's hearts..."

After counting, Chu Mu leaned against the head of the bed and sighed.

Wealth, friends, Dharma, and land, the path to immortality, the most important thing is money!

Now, he can be considered to have a lot of wealth.

The next step is how to turn this wealth into his own foundation.

Chu Mu's eyes moved slightly, thinking silently.

After a moment, he had a general idea in his mind, but thinking about today's changes, Chu Mu temporarily suppressed his thoughts.

For the time being... it's better to lie dormant for a while.

After a Yangmai Pill entered his stomach, Chu Mu sat cross-legged to practice.

His cultivation, which had reached the critical point, was also slowly increasing under the surging power of the medicine.

In three days, three Yangmai Pills, the critical point in the dark became clearer and clearer.

But this time, it seemed different from usual.

In the past, after feeling the critical point, practicing again was like a natural process, crossing the critical point and entering a new realm.

Since opening up the source of wealth, practice has entered the fast lane, from the first level of Qi training to the seventh level of Qi training now.

And this time...

Stuck?

In the perception, the critical point in the dark is very clear, but it seems that there is an invisible obstacle that blocks this critical point.

The natural process that is used to it has also become... difficult to move forward!

"Bottleneck?"

Chu Mu opened his eyes, and his brows were already a little more solemn.

The bottleneck of the big realm is an indispensable experience for every cultivator.

But the bottleneck of the small realm is different.

One spiritual root, two elixirs.

In terms of his overall cultivation, the process of the spiritual root breathing in the external spiritual energy and refining it into magic power cultivation is obviously rare for him.

And his cultivation is basically... built up by elixirs.

"Pills...Pill poison impurities?"

Chu Mu stood up, frowning.

He had predicted this problem long ago and was mentally prepared.

After all, although pills are good, their disadvantages are also very clear.

As far as he knows, in Changsheng Sect and some big families, there are strict requirements for the use of pills by some genius disciples.

This is to prevent disciples from being obsessed with the rapid progress of cultivation under the accumulation of pills, and ignoring the disadvantages brought by pill poison impurities, thus affecting the entire immortal path.

There are many disadvantages of pill poison impurities, one of the most important of which is that they will pollute the mana and body imperceptibly, and eventually form the so-called bottleneck in each small realm.

These bottlenecks can be forcibly crossed by realm-breaking pills, but pill poison impurities will naturally continue to accumulate imperceptibly.

Continue to imperceptibly pollute the mana, thus forming a stronger and more difficult barrier to cross in the next realm.

And to remove pill poison impurities, there may be related secret methods in the world of immortal cultivation, but obviously, it is not something he can access at present.

This is undoubtedly a vicious cycle, a vicious cycle known to everyone.

But...

There is a fact that is undoubtedly also very clear, and also known to everyone.

Spiritual root aptitude is destined by heaven. With his pseudo spiritual root aptitude, without elixirs, and with such a slow progress in cultivation, he may not be able to reach the current seventh level of Qi training in his lifetime!

What's more, the factors that affect the appearance of bottlenecks are not only elixirs. The complexity of spiritual root aptitude will also make the mana unconsciously complex, which will also affect the appearance of bottlenecks.

In other words, if the spiritual root aptitude is low, there is no choice.

He is still lucky. At least, he has a sufficient supply of elixirs for practicing in the Qi training realm!

And this trouble caused by too many elixirs is not experienced by most immortal cultivators.

After all, one Yangmai Pill costs fifteen spirit stones. How many immortal cultivators can eat Yangmai Pills like candy beans like him?

If you practice spiritual energy bit by bit, and spend dozens of years, but are still affected by the mixed spiritual roots, then it is really... you want to cry but have no tears!

"So, the current Soul Sword is still unable to completely eliminate the poison?"

Chu Mu sensed the waves from the soul, and his mind was flowing.

Then, as his mind moved slightly, a black dot that was almost imperceptible suddenly appeared on his fingertips.

Under the focus of his consciousness, this black dot was also clearly visible.

It was gaseous, but also seemed to have substance, similar to the black ash produced by burning.

As his fingertips moved slightly, this black dot also dissipated between heaven and earth.

And the source of this black ash comes from his mana and the elixir.

His consciousness has been focused on the mana. Under the fluctuations of the Soul Sword, the refined mana seems to have a few wisps of undetectable black smoke from time to time.

And this black smoke, in reality, is the black spot on his fingertips just now, and it is also the impurity in his mana that was refined by the Soul Sword.

And according to his previous observations and experiments, this refined black smoke contains the so-called elixir poison impurities.

A large amount of elixir has been piled up until now, and it has not encountered a bottleneck until the seventh level of Qi training. It seems to prove that his judgment is not wrong.

In the end, his eyes are fixed on the sword skill proficiency value that has been stuck on the light curtain panel.

With his spiritual root qualifications, if he does not use elixir resources to pile up, it is equivalent to making his cultivation stop.

What he needs to consider is how to avoid the influence of elixir poison, rather than restraining the use of elixir.

The current Soul Sword cannot completely remove the poison impurities, so what about the higher level?

Chu Mu pondered silently, and while he was thinking, he took out a Yangmai Pill and took it again.

The effect of the medicine was still surging, but the invisible obstacle was as solid as a rock, and it was still difficult to make any progress.

But for him, the stagnation of cultivation was not difficult to solve.

Perhaps a Yangmai Pill with one Danwen would be enough to cross this so-called bottleneck.

But the key to the problem is obviously not how to cross the bottleneck, but the root of the problem!

That is the mixed poison left by the pill!

To solve the root of the problem, the first thing to do is naturally to know what the mixed poison is, and what position it is in his cultivation, and how it has become an obstacle to his cultivation progress.

It is also necessary to understand the specific quenching effect of the Soul Sword.

Only by understanding all this can we solve it in a targeted manner.

Following the thoughts in his mind, Chu Mu observed carefully.

Taking one Yangmai Pill after another, the medicinal power changes again and again.

Each process is clearly recorded, and finally a clear data comparison is formed.

"Impossible..."

After ten days of observation, the conclusion finally made Chu Mu himself hesitate.

According to his ten days of observation and experiment, plus his previous experimental results, it is an extremely clear conclusion.

He specifically intercepted a part of the mana for a separate experiment, after refining a Yangmai Pill.

At most five days, under the fluctuation of the Soul Sword, although the tempering is still continuing, the mana will become more and more pure, but the part of the mana in the experiment, no black smoke appears.

This is undoubtedly not in line with common sense. The tempering is still continuing, and the mana is still becoming more and more pure under the tempering, which means that the Soul Sword has not reached the limit of tempering the mana.

In other words, if there is still pill poison in the mana, it should continue to be eliminated under such tempering.

It didn't appear again, which seemed to prove that the poison in the mana had been refined.

After all, it was impossible for the quality of the poison to be different, right?

This was undoubtedly contrary to his previous guess.

The poison in the mana had been eliminated, so why did it still form a bottleneck?

Chu Mu frowned, unable to hide his confusion.

After a long time of thinking, a flash of inspiration came to him.

"Mana... soul..."

"Spirit, spirit, mana, soul, body..."

While muttering to himself, Chu Mu felt that he might have missed something.

The original practice of blood and qi was within the framework of spirit, spirit, and spirit, and the current immortal path is also a practice system based on spirit, spirit, and spirit.

Essence refers to blood and qi, and the body.

Qi refers to spiritual energy and mana.

Shen refers to the soul and consciousness.

When practice encounters obstacles and a bottleneck appears in the realm, will it be simply the influence of qi or mana?

The poison of the elixir is complicated. Does it only affect the mana?

Does it have no effect on the body and the soul?

After all, the medicinal power of the elixir is refined by the mana, and the mana is controlled by the consciousness, and finally nourishes the soul and the body. The three are completely like the spirit, energy and spirit, and are a complementary relationship.

As for the current soul sword, the main direction of its tempering is the soul and the mana.

As for the body, it is just a minor effect after tempering the soul and mana.

"Body..."

Chu Mu's eyes became brighter. At this moment, he thought of a lot.

The soul sword is rooted in the soul and has a direct impact on the soul and mana!

And the main focus of Qi training is on the soul and mana.

Only the body has been ignored by him since he stepped into the immortal path...
