In Fenbaoyan, Zhou Chen has been meditating in seclusion for a whole month.

After he came back from the beggar Taoist, he asked Old Man Luo for half a month's leave. He expected that it would take him half a month to break through, so he specifically asked for a long leave.

Unexpectedly, it took longer than he thought to break through the realm. After a full month, he sat quietly by the small lake, with flower slaves taking care of him every day, meditating alone, and it took him a month to break through the shackles.

.

He made a lot of progress in the fighting skills at the Xiaoxian Conference this time. Tang Zheng's step-by-step approach not only greatly improved his fighting skills, but also made him realize a lot.

It is said that when the oil is exhausted, it is easiest for a person to break through himself.

When competing with immortal magic, although there was no danger of life, it did allow Zhou Chen to immerse himself in operating magic and displaying magical powers like never before.

Several difficult and complicated problems in the first small part of the first chapter of the Luofu Sutra were also solved. This is why Zhou Chen is sure that he will make a breakthrough.

Having eaten the extremely precious quasi-immortal medicine grade blue glass fruit, and having access to Fenbaoyan, the number one paradise in the world, Zhou Chen's cultivation speed was faster than others.

Now, by chance, his cultivation is finally approaching the middle of the foundation building period. It is easier than he thought, but now it seems that it is a little more difficult than imagined.

Over the course of a month, Zhou Chen woke up at least three times, always looking at the sky and sighing, unable to break through. It was as if he was missing a final kick and could not cross the threshold of the early stage of foundation building and could not enter the middle stage of foundation building.

"well!"

Zhou Chen let out a long sigh and opened his eyes. He had all kinds of opportunities, and now he had clearly realized them, but he couldn't break through them. It was really disappointing.

"Hua Nu, give me a piece of Immortality Fruit. I want to take it."

After much deliberation, Zhou Chen only guessed one possibility, that is, he did not have enough magic power to break through the bottleneck. In addition to cultivation awareness and magic power, a breakthrough in the spiritual realm also requires some chance. He believed that the biggest reason why he could not break through was his magic power.

"Um!"

The flower slave nodded seriously, and a fairy flew up to the top of the lush longevity fruit tree. She selected the immortal fruit with eight remaining fruits, took out a small golden hammer, and knocked down an immortal fruit neatly.

Looking at the immortality fruit wrapped in a brocade handkerchief, Zhou Chen let out a long breath. With a move of his hand, the immortality fruit flew into his mouth and turned into a stream of sweet juice, bringing with it a wave of heat that instantly made him angry.

Blood surges.

"puff!"

The essence and blood all over his body seemed to be on fire. Zhou Chen only had time to spit out a mouthful of essence and blood before he felt the world spinning. Amidst Hua Nu's screams, he lost consciousness.

I don't know how long it took, but Zhou Chen just felt that his whole body became very comfortable and very strong. He felt as comfortable as if he had finally put down a load of hundreds of kilograms that he had been carrying all day long.

Transparent, the whole person feels very transparent, as if he can communicate with the outside world and directly absorb spiritual energy.

"Woooooooo..."

A whining sound woke Zhou Chen up, and when he slowly opened his eyes, he found that he was lying on the Taigong chair, with his flower slave and the old prison guard looking nervously at him.

"The little god congratulates the great immortal for successfully entering the middle stage of foundation building."

The first sentence of the old man from prison was congratulations, which made Zhou Chen a lot happier. He also felt that he had made a breakthrough, but he didn't expect it to be like that.

The large amount of medicinal power contained in the immortal fruit cannot be taken directly, just like a large tonic cannot be eaten alive. Only the injured or even dying people use it to heal their injuries.

In a dangerous move, Zhou Chen took it as a mana catalyst. Unexpectedly, he managed to break through to the middle stage of foundation building.

"However, after all, external help is not the right way to practice Taoism. As the saying goes, the best thing is like water, what is more important in Taoism is to let nature take its course and practice against nature with one's own strength. Every state should be a test and a breakthrough for oneself.

That’s right. Blindly taking shortcuts will be detrimental to the long run.”

The prison guard said meaningfully that in his opinion, the Immortal didn't need to be anxious at all.

"Of course I won't do it next time. It's just because the downhill trial is imminent. If I don't improve my cultivation, it will definitely be a disaster."

Zhou Chen briefly talked about the trial going down the mountain. Considering his actual cultivation level, the prison guard couldn't help but nodded.

After asking Hua Nu and the little old man to step aside, Zhou Chen prepared to test the success of his breakthrough.

First, he checked the mana in his body. At first glance, my mana, the mana in the middle stage of foundation building is ten times more than that in the early stage of foundation building. If Zhou Chen's mana before was one, then his mana at this time is one.

It's ten. The immortal fruit is domineering. It not only helped Zhou Chen break through the realm, but also filled his body with mana.

Although I was almost exhausted, it seemed worth it.

The first thing to test is naturally the Heavenly Sword Technique.

With a flip of his right hand and a distant move, the Heavenly Sword flew into his hand. He raised the sword and then moved the sword with extremely smooth movements, all in one go.

Whoosh~

The blood-transforming knife flew out silently, disappearing into the void with a flash of blood. It took a full twenty-five steps before it flew out of the void and struck with a bang.

"receive!"

With the knife retracting gesture, the Blood Transforming Knife disappeared again and then flew back to Zhou Chen's hand.

From the original leap of twenty steps to now being able to fly in the void for twenty-five steps, after breaking through a small realm, he can actually increase by five steps.

Maybe these five steps are a killing distance.

Satisfied that he put away the Blood Transforming Knife, Zhou Chen tried to use the thirty techniques of Cloud Climbing Technique again.

The first method is extremely smooth.

The second method is relatively smooth.

The third method can barely be used easily.

The fourth method is a bit difficult.

The fifth method is very difficult.

Zhou Chen bared his teeth and grinned before finishing the sixth method.

Zhou Chen couldn't even pull out the seventh method even though he had to use all his strength to do it.

"It's a pity that we can only activate six magic techniques. It seems that the Cloud Climbing Technique is indeed extraordinary. I'm afraid that even in the later stages of foundation building, I won't be able to fully activate thirty magic techniques!"

Zhou Chen muttered to himself somewhat depressedly, there was no way, who made the immortal magic so powerful? The more powerful the immortal magic, the higher the requirements. If Master Biluo hadn't broken down its immortal magic into thirty-six magic tricks, he would have

I'm afraid that even if it takes a hundred years, I won't even be able to use the cloud-climbing technique.

It's good to be tricky, but it comes with a price.

Next, Zhou Chen tried several other introductory immortal arts. What made him very satisfied was that these introductory immortal arts had become extremely simple. At least they were different from before, which required careful manipulation of the magic formulas and mobilization of magic power.

Nowadays, it is much easier to use it as you wish.

It was one month and three days before Zhou Chen came out of the Fenbao Rock. At this time, the day of going down the mountain for the trial was already very close.

"It's only been a month and a half."

I didn't expect that the whole thing would take up so much time. Almost a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

When I opened the back door, all I could see was the white snow. Unexpectedly, after practicing for a month, it actually started snowing on Luofu Mountain.

Zhou Chen grew up in the southern part of China and seldom saw heavy snow, but he only had a special liking for heavy snow and heavy rain.

Sitting at the back door, looking at the heavy snow outside, for some reason, Zhou Chen vaguely thought of Le Jiang and wondered how she was doing in this cold winter.

Although a cultivator is not afraid of cold weather, people's hearts are still warm and cold. Could someone treat her badly?

For a long time, Zhou Chen put aside all thoughts and thought that he could only fall in love after passing the test of going down the mountain, so he stopped thinking about it.

The days passed, and most of the time was consumed in daily practice and duty. Gradually, the day of the trial was getting closer and closer. Zhou Chen could even see the cheers or joy on the faces of the new disciples.

Worried look.
