Chapter 473 Seven Years
After another three days, the Iron Arm Monkey finally woke up and washed off the dirt. The black hair turned navy blue, and the tuft of white hair on the jaw became more shiny. The whole Iron Arm Monkey seemed to be more vital and spiritual than before.
As for the more detailed changes, it is still unclear now. How much impact it has on the blood and qualifications of the Monkey King needs to be observed slowly. However, it can be judged from the changes in the appearance of the Iron Arm Monkey that the blood jade paste is really a good thing, and the benefits to the Iron Arm Monkey are huge.
Qingyang asked the Iron Arm Monkey to try to practice the Soul Devouring Technique he had obtained before, and the efficiency seemed to be much higher than before. According to the previous practice speed of the Iron Arm Monkey, it would be very difficult to improve his cultivation to the perfect Qi Refining before his lifespan is exhausted. However, according to the current practice speed, before the Iron Arm Monkey's lifespan is exhausted, he can definitely improve his cultivation to the perfect Qi Refining. I am afraid that the only thing missing from the foundation-building period is a foundation-building pill.
A few days later, the alcoholic bees also woke up one after another, but there was no change in them, and they were almost the same as before. But think about it, each of them only ate a piece of blood jade paste the size of a soybean, and the changes would certainly not be as obvious as the iron-armed monkey. Maybe there are some changes that you can't see, and you will know it later.
The difference between the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard is not very big. Except for the different treatment, other aspects are almost the same. Usually you practice in your own courtyard, and the sect will not interfere too much with your practice and life. When you encounter problems, you can go to the Transmission Court to listen to lectures and ask questions. There are not only many disciples who can communicate, but also elders in the sect regularly give lectures in the Transmission Court. In addition, you can also go to the Gongfa Pavilion to check the classics yourself, of course, this is charged.
If the spirit stones are not enough, go to the inner courtyard office hall to receive tasks to earn spirit stones. Of course, Qingyang doesn't need it, because he doesn't lack spirit stones. At the same time, he also works part-time as a deacon of the Farming Court, with an extra twenty spirit stones every year, and many inner courtyard tasks are not as good as him.
Even a mosquito leg is meat, and more than 20 spiritual stones a year is an extra income for him. Moreover, the tasks of the Farming and Planting Institute are only good for Qingyang, and the alcoholic bees can feed and grow, and Qingyang can also harvest extra spiritual nectar and pollen to help improve his cultivation.
In the days that followed, Qingyang resumed a life similar to that in the outer courtyard. Most of the time, he practiced hard in his own courtyard. When he encountered problems, he would go to the Transmission Institute to take a look and walk around, discuss the problems encountered in cultivation with others, and listen to the teachings and teachings of the elders of the sect.
When there was something going on in the Farming and Planting Institute, Senior Brother Cai would personally inform Qingyang, and then Qingyang would take the alcoholic bees to take over the spiritual fields that needed to be taken care of. Although it was called taking care, Qingyang didn't need to do anything, and the alcoholic bees would do everything, so he just had to stay nearby and practice.
The fields in the Farming and Planting Institute were all public fields, and occasionally someone would come to Qingyang for their personal help, but the number of privately planted spiritual herbs was relatively small, and it would not delay Qingyang too much time. After the trial in Chaos Demon Valley, Qingyang's fame increased greatly. Many people were more polite when they asked him for help, and they would give him some rewards, so it was not in vain.
With a large number of spiritual flowers and spiritual honey to eat, the strength of the alcoholic bees increased rapidly, and the entire tribe was gradually growing. In addition, they could also divide a part of spiritual honey and spiritual pollen for Qingyang to use. This thing is much better than elixir, without impurities, no side effects, and no drug resistance. As an auxiliary to elixir, the effect is amazing.
Time passed quickly, and Qingyang's cultivation level also improved by leaps and bounds. After returning from Chaos Demon Valley, it took him only two months to break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining. After that, it took more than a year to successfully improve his cultivation level to the sixth level of Qi Refining. Then, it took more than two years for Qingyang's cultivation level to finally break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, becoming a veritable inner courtyard disciple.
After more than two years, Qingyang's cultivation has reached the level of perfection of the seventh level of Qi Refining. It is only a matter of time before he breaks through again. At this time, it has been seven years since the end of the trial in Chaos Demon Valley, and Qingyang is thirty-four years old.
It is rare to reach the seventh level of Qi Refining at the age of thirty-four, even in the entire Jiuzhou Continent. Generally, only disciples with extremely excellent qualifications or the direct descendants of some high-level cultivators can achieve it. In the inner courtyard of Qingfeng Hall, there are not many people who are better than Qingyang in this respect.
There are more than a thousand disciples in the inner courtyard of Qingfeng Hall, and 70% to 80% of them are between 40 and 60 years old. The remaining 10% to 20% are over 60 years old, and only half of them are under 40 years old. The closer they are to 40, the more people there are, and their cultivation is generally not as good as Qingyang.
Qingyang's qualifications are very ordinary compared to others, but he does not lack spirit stones, so he does not lack elixirs, and even has more than many direct descendants of high-level cultivators. In addition to the addition of spirit pollen, spirit honey and a large amount of spirit wine, it is nothing to have such a cultivation speed.
Despite this, Qingyang still did not dare to slack off in his cultivation, because he knew very well that the next inner courtyard competition would begin in two years. If he missed this time, he would have to wait another ten years. Qingyang's current cultivation level was only the seventh level of Qi Refining, which was almost at the bottom of the entire inner courtyard. It was impossible for him to win the Foundation Establishment Pill by participating in the competition with his current strength.
Even before the competition, Qingyang successfully broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refining, but he still felt that it was not very safe, because there were thousands of people in the inner courtyard, and there were two or three hundred people who had perfected Qi Refining. Many of them had deep backgrounds and extraordinary abilities. How difficult would it be to defeat such people across levels? Unless his cultivation reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, he would be sure.
However, he was not even at the eighth level of Qi Refining now. It was almost impossible for him to improve his cultivation to the ninth level of Qi Refining in just two years. You know, it took him more than two years to improve his cultivation from the seventh level of Qi Refining to the seventh level of Qi Refining Perfection. In short, the hope was very slim.
But no matter what, every bit of improvement was a bit, and the more strength, the more confidence. Now Qingyang’s primary goal was to break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining first, and the rest would be dealt with later.
The bottleneck from the seventh level to the eighth level of Qi Refining is a small bottleneck within the late stage of Qi Refining. It is not very difficult to break through. Qingyang had already made preparations before this. The true Qi in his body has been condensed and compressed countless times. His soul has also reached the edge of a breakthrough because of frequent practice of the Concentration Technique. The breakthrough is just a natural thing, and only the finishing touch is left.
