Chapter 55: Cloudy Sky Breakthrough

These spirit stones, in addition to the more than 300 fire and earth spirit stones left by Su Aotian, the other spirit stones were used to redeem slaves, and more than 400 slaves were rescued successively. At the same time, he also continued to use the toxins of the sixth-level fierce beasts to quench his body, making the toughness of his flesh stronger and stronger, and his ability to resist poison was also greatly enhanced. Over the years, the ultimate killer has not lost a single battle against the fierce beast, the Colosseum has earned a lot of spirit stones, Su Aotian's bet has dropped again and again, and it has been reduced to one to two, and the beast's bet has climbed to one to twenty, which has caused many monks to continue to bet heavily, and they also wish that Su Aotian would lose his hand and die in the game, but every time they were disappointed. There are also some monks who unswervingly buy Su Aotian to win, although the profit is not much each time, but it adds up a lot, and the harvest is also very considerable, and these monks have become loyal fans of Su Aotian. But for Su Aotian, the two-percent bet is really a drop in the bucket, although he gets a lot of compensation from the Colosseum, but it is not enough to redeem slaves.

While Su Aotian was fighting beasts on the one hand and worrying about the spirit stone on the other, Gu Yuntian's cultivation also came to an important juncture.

On that day, after Gu Yuntian opened up the meridians in the Ice and Fire Cave, he began to cultivate according to the family heirloom method. After practicing for three or four months, I felt that although the entry of vitality into the body was getting smoother and smoother, after all, the meridians were small and the progress was slow. At this time, Luo Wentian also learned the news that he had broken through the cultivation barrier, and rushed over with great joy. After carefully probing the state of Gu Yuntian's cultivation with his divine sense, Luo Wentian thought about it again and again, and suggested that Gu Yuntian should do the opposite, after introducing the vitality into the spleen, and then output the vitality from the spleen to impact the main meridians, first open up the meridians and then cultivate, so as to speed up the cultivation speed. At the same time, he could use his divine sense to check and try to open up a few more small meridians to speed up the speed at which the vitality entered the body. I have to say that Luo Wentian is indeed an out-and-out cultivation genius, and the method he came up with is similar to the method that Su Aotian himself has figured out randomly. The difference is that Su Aotian came out by mistake, while Luo Wentian has a systematic understanding. During the experiment, Luo Wentian accompanied him throughout the whole process, took care of Gu Yuntian's cultivation with his divine sense, and stopped it in time when he found that something was wrong, and after half a year, Gu Yuntian developed seven or eight small meridians, and finally opened up the main meridians, and his cultivation speed made a qualitative leap. Before leaving, Yin Yin told Gu Yuntian not to blindly try to be fast because he had delayed the best cultivation period, but to consolidate the foundation more and more, not to break through in a hurry, and to enter the next stage until he couldn't suppress it. Moreover, he found that Gu Yuntian's body meridians seemed to have changed after the baptism of the Ice and Fire Cave, and the pores and meridians on the surface of his body had been developed, so he told Gu Yuntian that he must make every effort to develop the meridians in all parts of his body, which should be of great benefit to his future cultivation.

After Luo Wentian left, Gu Yuntian acted according to the law, and the small meridians were constantly developed, and when his main meridians were opened, as experienced in the Ice and Fire Cave, there were constantly some fine white powders washed down, and finally discharged from the body with the operation of the aura. During this period, the pain in the meridians was like an axe and a saw, it was simply painful, and Gu Yuntian struggled to support it with amazing perseverance and faith. Later, he finally discovered that the reason why he couldn't cultivate was because the meridians were filled with this white solid substance, and as these white solids were washed down little by little, the speed of cultivation became faster and faster.

Three years later, Gu Yuntian cultivated to the first phase of qi refining, and five years later to the second phase of qi refining, and at this time, the white solid in the main meridian was finally cleared and completely unblocked. In the past eight years, as soon as he cultivated, he had to endure the pain of life being worse than death, and by the end he was already a little numb. Gu Yuting and his wife saw that their son's cultivation had already started, and they were finally relieved to retreat and impact the realm of refining the void.

After Gu Yuntian's main meridian was opened, his cultivation speed improved by leaps and bounds, although he kept in mind Luo Wentian's entrustment, he couldn't suppress it and didn't break through, and he also cultivated to the third stage of qi refining two years later, the fourth stage of qi refining three years later, and the sixth stage of qi refining seven years later. It only took twenty years to cultivate to the sixth stage of qi refining, although it was very inconspicuous in the family, but compared to Su Aotian's speed, it was simply a heaven and an earth. At this time, the hidden spirit root of his wood attribute was also revealed, so he began to open up the liver meridians again and practice the wood system exercises. During this period, it was another painful experience, with previous experience, it only took six years to open up the main meridians this time, and it was also cultivated to the third stage of qi refining, and the small meridians were also developed as much as possible. However, he couldn't be a two-soul cultivator like Su Aotian, and as a result, the cultivation of the earth attribute slowed down, and he never broke through to the seventh stage of qi refining. And because the attributes of wood and earth are mutually restrictive, the cultivation of the two exercises affects each other, and the cultivation speed is slower than before. During this period, Luo Wentian came once, and when he saw this situation, he told Gu Yuntian not to be discouraged, not to give up the two exercises, and to solve the problem of mutual restraint after breaking through the foundation building.

After that, Gu Yuntian concentrated on cultivation, and after the cultivation speed slowed down, some people who originally questioned him found an excuse again, and all kinds of cynicism continued, and several disciples of Gu Yuming's family were even more active, often coming over to find excuses to learn from him, and after winning, he was proud, ridiculing him that even if he could cultivate, he was a waste, and it would only bring shame to the family. After making trouble a few times, under the intervention of the head of the Gu family, they didn't dare to blatantly come to find fault, but they still spread some foul language to ridicule him. Fortunately, Gu Yuntian has a calm and resolute personality, and he only regards these as tempering on the path of cultivation, and his heart of cultivation has not been damaged in the slightest.

After another ten years, the earth-based exercises were cultivated to the seventh stage of qi refining, twenty years later to the eighth stage of qi refining, sixty years later to the ninth stage of qi refining, and at this time, the wood-based exercises were cultivated to the seventh stage of qi refining. At this time, he has reached the age of one hundred and fifty, and the people in the family are not optimistic about his future, even if he is the head of the family, for the sake of his father's face, there is no shortage of resources, but a disciple who has not built a foundation before the age of a hundred is really not worth cultivating, not to mention that this disciple has passed the age of one hundred and fifty, and it seems that there is no hope for building a foundation in this life. Gu Yuming's family had already sentenced him to death, asserting that it was impossible for him to break through the foundation, and they didn't bother to concoct any more gossip about him at this time. Losing the special attention of these people, Gu Yuntian was finally able to cultivate with a clear heart, he had practiced all these years without being shocked, and the gossip of others did not cause a trace of waves in his heart at all. At this time, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to consolidating the realm of earth-based exercises on the one hand, and cultivating wood-based exercises on the other, and he was sure to break through the wood-based exercises to the ninth stage of qi refining in the remaining fifty years.

The days flew by in a peaceful cultivation, and fifty years passed quickly. At this time, Gu Yuntian inevitably became the focus of attention again, because he became the first Qi Refining Cultivator in the family who had not broken through to the foundation building before the age of two hundred, in other words, he was the longest-lived Qi Refining Cultivator in the family. According to the life limit, he should have fallen, but because he has been forging since childhood, his physical fitness is far better than others, and because of this, he does not look old when he is about to turn two hundred, and he is still full of energy, and there is no sign of imminent fall.

During this period, his unusually slow cultivation speed was once again criticized. There has never been a single monk in the family who has been preparing for the ninth stage of qi refining for fifty years and has not broken through to the foundation building stage, although he has spent most of his time practicing the wood system exercises, but no one will pay attention to this, everyone is talking about it, all he talks about is that he has not broken through the foundation building for fifty years, and the humiliation he has brought to the family. After all, in the entire Xuanwu City, even among some other forces with weaker strength, there had never been a monk who could not break through for such a long time.

On this day, Gu Yuting and his wife were out of the customs. It was not that both his husband and wife had broken through to the refining period, but that the two of them knew that the threshold of two hundred years had arrived, so they deliberately put down their cultivation to see if Gu Yuntian had broken through to the foundation building. As soon as he heard this bad news as soon as he got out of the customs, Bai Xiufei's eyes turned red, and he couldn't help crying.

Gu Yuting endured his grief and took Bai Xiu to his small courtyard. Walking outside the courtyard, I saw that there was a person wandering in front of the door, and after a closer look, I recognized it as Luo Wentian's personal servant Long Yunfei, who was also a monk in his infancy.

This person had been with Luo Wentian a few times, and Gu Yuting was also familiar with him. He had received the great favor of Luo Wentian's father, Luo Xiaoyun, and after Luo Xiaoyun unfortunately died, he voluntarily came to Luo Mansion as a servant, vowing to take care of Luo Wentian for the rest of his life. Seeing that he was loyal, the Luo family never regarded him as a slave, and Luo Wentian also treated him as an uncle.

At this time, Long Yunfei saw Gu Yuntian and his wife, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "I've seen Master Gu and Mrs. Gu." Gu Yuting hurriedly helped him up, and complained in his mouth: "Brother Long called the little brother how to deserve it." I told you a long time ago that you and I are quite cultivated, and we can be friends with each other, so why bother with all this red tape every time. Long Yunfei said: "I don't dare to do this." ”

The two were polite for a while, and Gu Yuting asked, "Why doesn't Brother Long go in and only wander outside the courtyard?" Long Yunfei said: "The little young master is practicing, and I'm afraid that there will be idlers to harass me, so I'll take care of it outside." Gu Yuting said: "Brother Long is too worried. This is my Gu family, who will come to harass me?" Long Yunfei said with a wry smile: "It is the Gu family. In the past few days, from time to time, people have come to watch whether the little master has broken through or not, and it is very annoying. Bai Xiufei raised his eyebrows and said, "They came to see when my son fell, right?"

Long Yunfei said, "Mrs. Gu is not in a hurry first. I came this time to serve the young master on the order of my young master to break through the foundation. My young master wanted to come in person, but he felt that the bottleneck was loosening a few days ago and a breakthrough was imminent, so he couldn't come, so he had to let the old slave come by himself. Gu Yuting was taken aback and said: "With Wentian's qualifications, he should have already formed a pill, why is he only breaking through now?" Long Yunfei said: "My young master has already succeeded in forming a pill, and this time he is going to impact Yuanying." ”

As soon as these words came out, Gu Bai and the others exclaimed in unison: "What?" It took a while before they came back to their senses: "It's really amazing to ask Tianxian's nephew, a two-hundred-year-old Yuanying monk, how many people can there be in Chengtianzhou throughout the ages?

Long Yunfei observed the words, he didn't know what the two of them were thinking, and hurriedly said comfort: "Master Gu and Mrs. Gu are not busy and sad first, my young master said, he has been paying attention to the cultivation of the little young master, and there is no problem with this breakthrough." The reason why there has been no breakthrough is that the little young master is extremely talented, and the amount of heaven and earth vitality needed is huge, and the little young master is preparing for a breakthrough, and when the time comes, he will naturally break through. When Bai Xiufei heard this, he was skeptical, and said: "Really, life and death are fate, I have been mentally prepared, and Brother Long doesn't have to lie about comfort." Long Yunfei said: "The matter is big, and the old slave dares to talk nonsense." Mrs. Gu, please rest assured, the old slave came this time, and my young master still has a gift for him. After that, he took out a bag of tricks, took out three things from it, it was a jade belt, a ring, and a bracelet, handed the jade belt and ring to Gu Yuting, and said: "These two things are for Master Gu and Mrs., this bracelet is for the little young master, they are all storage utensils, although they are not a tool, but they are refined by my young master himself, please smile." ”

Gu Yuting and his wife were shocked again: "Ask Tianxian's nephew to be able to refine space equipment?" Long Yunfei said: "My young master has a little experience in space, so he can refine some gadgets. Gu Yuting said: "Brother Long is too modest. The space is so profound, all those who refine space instruments are all geniuses who will never be born, and asking Tianxian nephew is really embarrassing for my generation!" This... , this space is so big, this is not just a storage utensil, it is simply a space magic weapon!"

While talking, he heard the door of the courtyard open, and Long Yunfei said, "It's the little young master who came out." Gu Yuting and his wife didn't care about anything else, they both rushed into the door, and Long Yunfei followed.

Gu Yuntian raised his eyes and saw his parents, he couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and said: "Father, mother, why did you get out of the customs, did you break through?" Bai Xiufei said: "We are not in a hurry to break through suddenly, but why don't you break through, child?" Gu Yuntian smiled: "Mother, don't worry, the child has already felt the opportunity to break through, this time I can't suppress it, I am going to the holy land in the clan to break through." Bai Xiufei's heart trembled, and said, "Really?" Gu Yuntian smiled: "Of course it's true, how dare the child deceive his mother?"

Gu Yuting looked at his son carefully, and saw that although his appearance had not changed, his forehead was already wrinkled, and his sideburns were gray, and he seemed to be older than his husband and wife, knowing that this was the inevitable aging of his approaching life, but his face was full of red light, and his complexion was excellent, how did he not look like a dying old man, he couldn't help but believe his son's words a little, turned over his hand and took out a jade bottle, and said: "This is Zhuji Dan, you take it, it's really not good, just take it." Gu Yuntian smiled and pushed back: "Father, the child doesn't need it." The child still wants to go further on the path of cultivating immortals, and the use of pills will be detrimental to my future cultivation. ”

Gu Yuntian didn't understand this truth, he was just too worried, and at this time, he sighed slightly, and said: "It's very good that my son has this way..." Gu Yuntian couldn't bear to disobey his mother's kindness, put away the pill and said, "The child won't be reluctant, don't worry." ”

At that moment, the three of them hugged Gu Yuntian and walked towards the back mountain. A famous family like the Gu family all has a cultivation holy place within the family, and they are guarded by the elders of the clan every day, and there is a special place for the disciples of the clan to break through. The group came to the Holy Land, explained the situation to the Guardian Elders, and came to the breakthrough place dedicated to Qi refining disciples. Soon, the news that the eldest Qi refining disciple was going to break through the foundation building spread, and in a moment, it attracted a large number of family members to come and watch, and seven or eight out of ten came to see the joke.

Gu Yuntian said to Gu Yuting and the others: "Dad, mother, Uncle Long, I'm going." He turned and walked towards the site dedicated to the breach. Bai Xiufei's eyes were full of nervousness, and she held her husband's hand tightly. Gu Yuntian walked into the middle of the venue and sat cross-legged, and everyone outside began to wait patiently, because of the prestige of Gu Yuting and his wife, no one gossiped more.

After half an hour, there was a sudden movement in the sky, and the vitality of heaven and earth slowly gathered, and everyone was taken aback. It is common for ordinary monks to break through and prepare for three or five days, and it takes ten days and half a month to attract changes in the vitality of heaven and earth from time to time, and it is indeed unique that Gu Yuntian only has half an hour. Not only Gu Yuting and the three of them wondered in their hearts, but the other monks watching were even more strange, and some people couldn't help but say, "What is he doing? Could it be that he knows that there is no hope, so he just messes around and can't do anything?"

In the midst of everyone's confusion, the gathering of heaven and earth vitality continued unhurriedly, and after two hours, instead of stopping, there was a posture of gathering more and more.

The crowd was even more confused. After the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi gathers, it will quickly form a Yuan Qi funnel and infuse the monk's body until the monk's spiritual energy is liquidated and the breakthrough is completed. During this period, if the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi attracted by the monk is insufficient to support the completion of the process of spiritual qi liquid, the breakthrough will fail, and the monk will also die. Therefore, the monk does not waste too much time gathering vitality, but does the infusion as soon as possible, and continues to gather vitality in the process of infusion. It was unheard of for someone like Gu Yuntian to spend so long gathering vitality. Those monks who were waiting to see the joke couldn't help it even more: "It's just that the cultivation is slow, and when you break through, you have to make such a big fuss, do you think you are embarrassed too much, and you must look different when you break through?"
