Immortality

Chapter 63 Perfect Bottleneck
Half a month later.

A piece of news reached Ziyan Valley.

"Do you still remember Zhou Yan back then?"

"The Chen family sent his head and body here, saying that they encountered him by chance outside and recognized him as the one we wanted, so they killed him..."

Taoist Shuimu took out the token from Zhou Yan.

It was the wooden plaque on the flying boat that year, engraved with Zhou Yan's name and the number of Dao Yun.

"So, the Chen family is trying to show goodwill to me?"

Fang Sheng pretended to be confused, as if he had just learned the news.

Taoist Shuimu nodded and said:

"You never leave Ziyan Valley, so the Chen family can't communicate with you, so they can only do this kind of trick."

"The Chen family's actions are also a statement that the fight between our two families will not affect you in the future."

"The past grudges are all written off, you can rest assured..."

Fang Sheng did not comment on this.

He just gently picked up Zhou Yan's token and weighed it in his hand.

There was some sincerity in this apology, but not much.

Obviously, in the eyes of the Chen family, he was just a cultivator with mixed spiritual roots.

Even if you get Xingyun's token, you just need to give him some face, give up chasing you, and then give him a pawn.

They have all achieved this level.

If you are still unwilling to reconcile, it would be a lack of sensibility.

Send away Taoist Shuimu.

Fang Sheng sat alone in the yard, recalling the night a few days ago.

He had stayed in the inn for two days and noticed that there were always birds and animals flying in the sky.

Zhou Yan didn't show up yet.

The Chen family also has some rudimentary skills in controlling beasts, and it is very likely that they are monitoring the entire market through these birds and beasts...

So, he left the market town the next day and went to wait in Zihe River.

Most of the cultivators coming out of the market town have to pass through Zihe.

Moreover, Zihe is also the only way to reach the Chen family’s residence.

Then I ran into the Taoist master from the Chen family.

He just showed his head above the water in the distance, but was noticed keenly.

"That old Taoist is at least at the eighth level of Qi Refining."

"Moreover, this person is also a cultivator. I'm afraid he has already reached the level of a treasure body, and his combat power is very good..."

The unique breath-retaining method of Shuiyungui Daoguo, after several times of blessing, is now quite useful for ordinary people in the late stage of Qi Refining.

But when encountering this kind of battle-hardened family elite, they seem to be stretched to the limit.

The Chen family lacked skills and industries and was relatively poor, which also led to the general bellicosity of the clan members.

"I have been in the world of immortal cultivation for so many years, and among all the enemies I have encountered, that old Taoist should be the strongest."

Fang Sheng was taking stock in his mind.

Currently, his magic weapon is of intermediate quality, and would be very weak against a person in the late stage of Qi Refining.

"But my magic has to be taken into account..."

"As for fire magic, my Spirit Fire Sutra is equivalent to the middle level of human rank. Over the years, I have also practiced dozens of fire magic spells, all of which have reached great perfection, plus the slight blessing of the Fire Fox Dao Fruit."

"I should be able to hold my own against an ordinary sixth-level Qi Refining cultivator."

On the contrary, it is the water law.

With the upper-grade Mingshui Gong of the human level and the blessing of the fifth-level Shuiyungui Dao Fruit, he can control 40% of the water spiritual power within the range of spiritual light.

It is equivalent to the level of top-grade Xuan-level martial arts.

It can probably withstand the ordinary seventh level of Qi Refining, unless the opponent also has Xuan-level skills.

Of course, the above does not take into account the trump cards.

"I have three trump cards now."

"First, there are only ten of the top-grade talismans that Master Li had in his hand back then."

"The second is to upgrade the Red Kite Spirit Fire to the second level..."

Fang Sheng had tried it before.

A top-grade defensive talisman can usually withstand attacks from the ninth level of Qi Refining.

As a result, in front of the second level spiritual fire, the top-grade defensive talisman only lasted for a few breaths before it was completely ineffective. This was his strongest means of attack at the moment.

As for the third trump card...

Fang Sheng used his magical power and lowered his eyes to examine his hands.

There was only a soft glow flowing faintly across the skin, which was not as dazzling as the magical light.

Rather, it seems like a rare thing nurtured by time, exuding a calm and solid aura.

"Treasure body!"

After bringing back twelve portions of wild rhino blood from Sishuifang Market.

The Barbarian Horn Rhino Dao Fruit has already reached the second level.

[Barbarian Horn Rhino Dao Fruit·Second Level]

[Effect: Born to be savage, moderately increases physical strength, and additionally blesses savage blood and special magic. ]

He was originally only in the middle stage of the Jade Bone Body Refining Realm, but was forcibly raised to the Treasure Body level.

As for the Barbarian Blood Technique, it can squeeze out the essence and blood to quickly restore the injuries and condition of the body.

Plus these three trump cards.

Fang Sheng was not sure whether he was a match for the old Taoist priest from the Chen family.

"After all, real combat is not a numerical competition."

"I lack combat experience and my realm is much lower. I'm afraid it's still uncertain..."

Your life is your own.

So, that night Fang Sheng evacuated from the water without even showing up.

The old Taoist priest was obviously not good at naval battles and had no intention of going into the water at all.

Thereafter.

Fang Sheng pondered over it for several days and came to a conclusion:
"It's best to keep the Red Falcon Spirit Fire for my use as an alchemist. It's said that the spells developed from the Red Falcon Spirit Fire will be good enough."

"There are traces of this on Zhulong's side. Just pay attention to it and deepen your impression in the future."

"As for the secret identity's trump card, it needs to be replaced with the Dao Fruit abilities of other wild bone monsters, preferably ones that are strong in killing..."

The effectiveness of the Tao Fruit is obviously linked to the talent and bloodline of the monster.

A demon beast with a powerful bloodline must possess powerful Dao fruits.

Fang Sheng only needs to search the monster list, and then find the corresponding blood essence to verify the ability of the Tao fruit...

……

Time is like water.

Nine months passed in a flash and everything was back to normal.

Qingfenglin Dojo.

Fang Sheng slowly stopped breathing, and a ripple appeared in his heart.

The magical aura emerging from the body's surface is as pure and flawless as the first light of dawn.

The light was five feet across, illuminating the entire body, and every ray of light contained deep and pure water spiritual power.

"The fourth level of Qi Refining has been completed!"

Fang Sheng exhaled a breath of foul air, not feeling very happy.

"I now have fourteen strands of Dao Yun. The small bottleneck is just at the perfection of the fourth level of Qi Refining, and the big bottleneck is at the perfection of the sixth level of Qi Refining..."

In other words, he has now hit a small bottleneck.

This is the observation and summary of the immortal cultivation world over the years.

Ordinary cultivators cannot escape from this system.

Only those monks with powerful backgrounds.

One can rely on elixirs or the constant supply of spiritual energy from high-level spiritual veins to forcibly continue one's cultivation career.

In the eyes of others, Fang Sheng just took the path of elixirs.

Only Fang Sheng himself knew that he had never taken any elixir for cultivation.

"With the top-grade inheritance, my problem of refining the Fire Sky Pill has been solved. Now I can build a level of Barbarian Horned Rhino Dao Fruit in less than two years."

"In addition, in the past nine months, the progress of the third level of Savage Horned Rhino Dao Fruit has exceeded halfway..."

Fang Sheng calculated with his fingers and immediately came to the conclusion:

"In two and a half years, my spiritual root rhyme will reach sixteen strands."

"By then, the small bottleneck will move back to the fifth level of perfection, which will be the perfect time for me to leave the Zheng family..."
