The Immortal Spiritual Picture

Chapter 256 Bottleneck

Gu Changze has advanced to the ninth level of Qi training for several years, and has also tempered his spiritual power once. Although his foundation cannot be compared with Gu Changhuan, it is also solid.

Now that he has the foundation-building pill, the possibility of advancing to the foundation-building stage is still very high.

In order to make himself more likely to advance to the foundation-building stage, he chose to retreat in the Gu family's special foundation-building cave.

Gu Shi Ning personally protected him.

This is the first clan member who is preparing to build a foundation after he took over the position of clan leader. He naturally hopes that Gu Changze will succeed in building a foundation smoothly.

And Gu Changze did just as he hoped. It took only six days to successfully build a foundation smoothly.

After Gu Changze successfully built a foundation, the number of foundation-building cultivators in the Gu family reached 15!

Fortunately, the Gu family has expanded a lot of industries in recent years, otherwise, it might not be possible to pay so many foundation-building cultivators.

After Gu Changze successfully built a foundation, he naturally wanted to tell Gu Changhuan the good news immediately.

However, when he arrived at the courtyard where Gu Changhuan lived, he found that Gu Changhuan was also in seclusion.

Although he wanted to tell Gu Changhuan the good news quickly, he couldn't do anything to disturb his cultivation, so he left a communication talisman, told Gu Changhuan that he had successfully built his foundation, and expressed his gratitude.

Afterwards, Gu Changze returned to his residence, had a good sleep, and began to practice in seclusion.

Advancing to the foundation-building stage is just the beginning. If you are complacent about it, you may not be able to go further on the road to immortality.

At the same time, on the Bifeng Mountain.

Gu Changqing frowned slightly with the jade slip of the "Sword Manual of Immortal Slaying" in his hand.

After revising the "Sword Manual of Immortal Slaying", his cultivation level advanced to the third level of foundation building, and it took only five years from his successful foundation building to now. From the first level of foundation building to the third level of foundation building in five years, such a progress in cultivation is second only to Gu Changhuan in the Gu family.

First, it was because Gu Changqing practiced hard enough. Apart from the necessary things, he spent most of his free time on practicing.

Second, it was because he had enough spiritual objects to assist in his practice. Accordingly, he had already used up half a bottle of the hundred-year-old spiritual milk found in the spiritual stone mine.

Finally, it was because the practice he changed was quite compatible with him.

Gu Changqing's own qualifications were mediocre, with only three spiritual roots.

As we all know, the worse the spiritual roots, the more bottlenecks one encounters. After Gu Changqing advanced to the third level of foundation building, he encountered a small bottleneck.

After advancing to the third level of foundation building, he found that no matter how he practiced, his true essence could not be improved at all.

After thinking about it, combined with the experience of his predecessors, he knew that he had encountered a bottleneck.

There is no specific rule for the emergence of bottlenecks. The only thing that can be determined is that it is related to personal qualifications;

There are generally two ways to break through bottlenecks.

One is to rely on external objects to forcefully break through the bottleneck. Such external objects are generally elixirs such as barrier-breaking pills. However, the Gu family does not have a recipe for barrier-breaking pills, so naturally they cannot refine such pills;

The second way is to go out and look for opportunities. The most common way is to find an opponent and then look for opportunities to break through the bottleneck between life and death. This is also one of the purposes of Gu Changqing entering the Qianlong Mountains;

When he was fighting the golden-haired iron-backed bear before, his bottleneck had already loosened slightly. As long as he practiced a little, he could break through the bottleneck and continue to practice. After returning to Bifeng Mountain, he only spent ten days to break through this small bottleneck.

However, the problem arose again.

He could not understand the meaning of the technique.

It was obviously a text that he could understand, but when he read it in a coherent manner, it was like a heavenly book that made him confused.

To practice the technique, you must be able to understand the technique thoroughly before you can practice it. If you force yourself to practice with only a little understanding, you will get into big trouble.

He is not a casual cultivator. There are so many elders in the family, many of whom have higher cultivation than him. He can ask the elders for advice, so why should he think hard on his own?

So Gu Changqing put away the jade slip and left his residence.

Not long after, he came to the outside of Gu Wanchang's cave.

Since Gu Wanchang stepped down as the patriarch, his life has been much more leisurely, and he has plenty of time to practice.

At this time, the formation of Gu Wanchang's cave was open. It was obvious that the owner of this place was in seclusion and did not want to be disturbed.

Gu Changqing was slightly disappointed. Just when he was about to leave here to visit Gu Wanhua, the formation of the cave suddenly lit up, and a voice came out

"It's Changqing boy! What do you want to see me for?"

It was Gu Wanchang's voice.

Gu Changqing turned around and saluted:

"Elder, Changqing encountered some difficulties in cultivation, so I came to ask for advice.

I didn't mean to disturb you."

Gu Wanchang laughed twice and said:

"In that case, you can come in!"

As soon as Gu Wanchang finished speaking, the formation suddenly changed, revealing a one-person-wide passage, and Gu Changqing hurried in.

After entering the cave, Gu Changqing saluted Gu Wanchang who was sitting on the futon

"Hello, elder."

Gu Wanchang had been the clan leader for many years and had great prestige. Even though he had stepped down now, the clan members were still respectful to him and did not dare to overstep the mark.

"No need to be polite. If you have any doubts, you might as well sit down and talk about it."

Gu Wanchang said with a smile, and raised his hand, and a futon flew out and fell to the ground.

After bowing, Gu Changqing sat on the futon and expressed his confusion about the practice.

Gu Wanchang stroked his beard after listening to him and said:

"For immortality, hard training is necessary, but it will not work if the cultivator just does hard training blindly;

Some techniques need to be infinitely in line with the state of mind of the creator of the technique in order to be fully understood, which is what we call entering the world;

I have also briefly read a few sentences of your technique, which requires a lot of practical experience to practice it smoothly;

You have had quite a lot of experience fighting monsters over the years, but you don't have many opportunities to fight with cultivators of the same level. My suggestion is that you might as well go out and travel, find some cultivators with similar strength and cultivation level to challenge, and take a look at the world outside the Jiuqi Mountains;

In this way, you may be able to understand the meaning of the technique;

However, you can also ask Chang Huan, who contributed this technique, and maybe he can give more suggestions."

After listening to Gu Wanchang's words, Gu Changqing suddenly realized and made a decision:

It seems that I should go out and travel.

After making up his mind, Gu Changqing thanked Gu Wanchang and went to the current clan leader Gu Shining.

After explaining his purpose, Gu Shining nodded and said:

"You can travel outside, but it's not like being in the Jiuqi Mountains. You have to be careful everywhere. If it's not necessary, don't show off too much to avoid disaster;

Don't show off your wealth when buying spiritual objects outside. Remember to bring all the elixirs for cultivation and healing. Be more careful when making friends with monks..."
