Chapter 748: Swallowing the Mountains and Rivers
At the moment when the bottleneck was broken, the energy in the elixir pool rushed into Qingyang's body at a faster speed, and the meridians in his body were pushed to the limit. The skills were running frantically, and his strength was constantly improving at a speed visible to the naked eye. Not long after, Qingyang's cultivation was officially raised to the fourth level of foundation building, becoming a veritable mid-stage foundation building cultivator.
Finally breaking through, Qingyang wanted to roar to the sky to vent his excitement. In the past few years, there was no shortage of elixirs. Qingyang's cultivation had long been raised to the peak of the third level of foundation building. This bottleneck had stuck him for two years, and there was no movement at all. He even doubted whether he would be stuck in the early stage of foundation building forever. Now that he had broken through, how could he not be happy?
After a long time, Qingyang gradually calmed down. Looking at the depth of the Danchi, which had dropped by half a foot, Qingyang couldn't help but sigh with emotion. The speed of improving cultivation in the Danchi was hundreds of times faster than outside. Two days was equivalent to two or three years of hard cultivation for others. This good opportunity might be hard to come by again. Only one day of the three-day soaking time had passed. It couldn't be wasted.
Having just broken through the bottleneck, his cultivation was not very stable. Qingyang didn't get up and continued to absorb the energy in the Danchi, constantly consolidating his cultivation.
After another hour, a strange energy fluctuation came faintly. Qingyang suddenly felt that the energy in the Danchi seemed to be attracted by something, and it was gathering towards a certain place of the barrier according to a certain law.
Although there was a barrier in the middle, Qingyang still noticed a clue after careful perception. The energy fluctuation before was very similar to his breakthrough in the foundation-building stage. It seemed that someone was breaking through the foundation-building stage. Among the six people who passed the first level, only Duanmu Fei was a perfect cultivator of Qi Refining, so she was the only one who could break through the foundation building in the Danchi at this time.
Qingyang was happy for Duanmu Fei's breakthrough, but why did the energy of the Danchi gather in that direction? Could it be that this Danchi was connected? The barrier could not block the flow of energy?
Qingyang was too excited when he broke through the middle stage of foundation building and did not notice this situation. Now, when Duanmu Fei broke through, he carefully observed and finally found the law.
Danchi communicated with each other, and how much could be absorbed depended on each person's ability, that is, whoever grabbed it belonged to him. In this case, what was he waiting for? Qingyang quickly moved his mind and took out the Iron Arm Spirit Monkey and the Alcoholic Queen Bee from the Drunken Immortal Gourd and put them all in the Danchi.
Before, because Qingyang himself wanted to break through the bottleneck of the middle stage of foundation building, he was worried that the energy in the Danchi would not be enough, so he did not have so many extra ideas. Now that Qingyang has completed the breakthrough, he has no worries at all. He has also discovered the law of the interconnection of the Danchi, so he naturally has no more scruples. He released the Iron Arm Spirit Monkey and the Alcoholic Queen Bee, and took as many as he could.
As a spiritual insect, the Alcoholic Bee can also feel the benefits of the energy in the Danchi to him. Without Qingyang's reminder, they all lie on the surface of the Danchi water and absorb the energy inside crazily, especially the Alcoholic Queen Bee, who is at the peak of the middle stage of foundation building, and even sinks her whole body into the Danchi.
Not to mention the Iron Arm Spirit Monkey, who directly performed the Soul Swallowing Technique in the Danchi. The Soul Swallowing Technique is not of high level, but extremely domineering. It is to swallow the spiritual energy from the outside world, refine and compress it in the body to become one's own cultivation, which is simple and rough.
The efficiency of this kind of practice depends on whether the energy provided by the outside world is sufficient. If the spiritual energy from the outside world is scarce, no matter how powerful the practice is, it will be useless. Therefore, the Iron Arm Spirit Monkey relies more on Qingyang's elixir and spiritual wine to improve his cultivation, and the Soul Swallowing Technique is only used as an auxiliary.
The most abundant thing in the Danchi now is energy. After the Iron Arm Spirit Monkey performed the Soul Devouring Technique, the energy in the Danchi seemed to be attracted by something and quickly gathered towards the Iron Arm Spirit Monkey. The efficiency was actually two or three times higher than Qingyang.
Compared with the Iron Arm Spirit Monkey's swallowing of mountains and rivers, the alcoholic bees were much more gentle. They lay on the water surface one by one, as if they were dead, but Qingyang could clearly feel that the energy in the Danchi was gathering towards their bodies, and the strength of the alcoholic bees was also slowly increasing.
The alcoholic bees were small in size and absorbed less energy. Those ordinary alcoholic bees that had not entered the rank absorbed even less, which was almost negligible, but they were too many. More than 500 alcoholic bees absorbed the energy in the Danchi at the same time, faster than the speed of five foundation-building cultivators. With the addition of the Iron Arm Spirit Monkey and Qingyang, the water level of the Danchi dropped rapidly.
On the first day, Qingyang and Duanmu Fei broke through the bottlenecks one after another, and they definitely needed more energy. However, the water level of the Danchi only dropped by half a foot. On the second day, no one broke through, but the water level of the Danchi dropped by a full foot, more than twice the speed of the previous one. If it continues at this speed, it will take at most half a day for the entire Danchi to bottom out.
In the past, only one or two people passed the first level of the Dan King Conference. They soaked in the Danchi for three days, and the water in the Danchi dropped less than two or three inches. This time, the Danchi was drained in two and a half days. Qingyang could already imagine the faces of others now.
However, he couldn't care so much at this time. All cultivators are selfish. He couldn't stop improving his strength just because others looked unhappy. If he wanted to blame them, he should blame them for not raising monsters and spirit insects.
Time flies. Less than halfway through the third day, the Danchi has already begun to dry up. After absorbing a large amount of Danchi energy, the Iron Arm Spirit Monkey's strength has been raised to the level of the fifth stage, which is roughly equivalent to the sixth level of the foundation building among cultivators. If his bloody body-building skills are added, his comprehensive strength is almost invincible in the middle stage of the foundation building.
The alcoholic queen bee is already at the peak of the middle stage of the foundation building. This time, she broke through to the late stage of the foundation building. As for the other alcoholic bees, their strength has improved to varying degrees. The number of purple-backed alcoholic bees has reached sixty or seventy. When they gather together, their momentum cannot be underestimated.
Seeing that the energy in the Danchi was exhausted, Qingyang quickly collected the Iron Arm Spirit Monkey and the alcoholic bee, fearing that the secret would be exposed and cause public outrage. He continued to sit in the Danchi and meditate, pretending to be unaware of it.
After a few more hours, the three-day deadline had expired. Qingyang stood up from the Danchi and walked to the corner of the hall. Soon the hall began to shake again, and the ground of the alchemy pool gradually rose up and became the same ground as the surrounding area. No trace of the alchemy pool could be seen anymore.
The surrounding barriers also began to weaken and thin until they finally disappeared, revealing the figures of other people, and the whole picture of the hall appeared in front of Qingyang.
