Chapter 142 Breakthrough
Chapter 142 Breakthrough
Hua Yan Ridge is located in a plain area. Looking at the scale of the mountains from a distance, this place is somewhat similar to Heng Mountain, which had suffered a mountain collapse due to over-exploitation.
However, when comparing the richness of spirit qi, the two are vastly different.
Hua Yan Ridge is a normal Spirit Vein that has emerged in recent years. Judging by the richness of spirit qi here,
the Spirit Stone Mine contained within it can be mined for several hundred more years without any problem.
It is precisely because of this that,
the rogue cultivator Huang Family cherishes this hard-won opportunity.
Not only did they move their entire family into Hua Yan Ridge,
they even mobilized all the power they could to guard the Spirit Vein,
displaying a stance of either coexisting or perishing with the Spirit Vein.
As soon as he stepped into the area of Hua Yan Ridge,
Li Lan was scanned by no less than dozens of divine senses.
He could clearly sense that among those divine senses, there was even a strong cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
After showing the qualification token issued by the 'Jingxiu Cave Abode',
and verifying his identity,
he was able to successfully enter the Hua Yan Ridge Spirit Vein.
Responsible for leading Li Lan was a Huang Family cultivator with a sharp mouth and monkey-like cheeks.
This person seemed to greatly enjoy chatting with others, talking incessantly along the way, his mouth never stopping.
"Senior's cultivation is truly profound and unfathomable. My Cultivation Base of Qi Refining Late Stage cannot sense even a bit.
May I ask which immortal clan or family Senior comes from? Does Senior have a say in the clan?
If possible, this junior would dare to wish to form a connection with Senior's family.
This way, you won't have to waste extra spirit stones in the future.
Like the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators of my clan, you can directly choose a place with abundant spirit qi in this Spirit Vein, excavate a cave abode, and settle down. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Li Lan was wrapped in a black robe, not revealing a single bit of himself,
and wore a spirit-concealing black veil over his face, so naturally, his expression of joy or anger could not be seen.
In fact, he was quite moved by what the other party said.
If he could settle down in a Grade A cultivation cave abode within a normal Spirit Vein for the long term,
it would definitely be greatly beneficial for his cultivation.
But unfortunately,
Li Lan was just a rogue cultivator, with no prominent family or immortal clan behind him.
His cultivation realm was also disguised.
Given the unequal strength, he naturally didn't have the qualifications to negotiate terms with the other party's family.
Li Lan remained silent throughout the journey, following the other party to the vicinity of the Shen No. cultivation cave abode.
As soon as he stepped inside,
he felt a rich, almost moist, aura of heaven and earth spirit qi rush towards him, vying to drill into every pore of his body.
Although over the years,
Li Lan had seen many Spirit Veins.
This was the first time his true body had personally stepped into the central area of a normal Spirit Vein.
At this moment, Li Lan clearly realized again why cultivation resources like Spirit Veins are so highly valued in the Cultivation World.
Li Lan felt as if he were in an ocean of spirit qi,
his whole body felt warm, his cultivation technique automatically circulated within him, and wisps of magical power were quickly converted and gathered into his dantian.
The only slight drawback was that,
at this moment, the magical power in his body was already overflowing, reaching a bottleneck.
He could no longer accommodate even a tiny bit of new magical power.
This was also the reason why Li Lan was so eager to break through his realm.
Once his cultivation reached a bottleneck,
as long as he couldn't break through, there would be no new space in his dantian,
and he would be unable to accommodate new magical power. A cultivator's realm would be stuck here for life.
"Each Grade A cave abode is equipped with many formations and restrictions. Senior does not need to worry about his safety during cultivation or problems like making too much noise.
As long as the magical power fluctuations are below the Foundation Establishment (Early Stage), these formations can completely conceal them, not revealing a single bit.
Senior's cave abode is Grade A No. 14. This is the token to control the restrictions and a sound transmission talisman.
During this time, if Senior needs anything, just contact this junior through this talisman."
The Huang Family cultivator introduced everything as usual and then took his leave.
Li Lan found the Grade A No. 14 cave abode by himself and stepped inside.
Perhaps to maximize the cultivation effect,
or perhaps to better sell the cultivation cave abode slots.
Each cultivation cave abode was chosen in one of the few places with the most abundant spirit qi within the Spirit Vein area.
In the Grade A cultivation cave abode where Li Lan was located, there was even a thumb-sized spirit eye.
At this moment,
that spirit eye was continuously gushing out, streams of spirit qi like smoke and mist.
In the Cultivation World, strength has always been paramount.
This can be easily seen from the detailed arrangements of the Grade A cave abodes compared to the other three grades of cultivation cave abodes, B, C, and D.
To be respected by others, one must have sufficient strength.
Li Lan shook his head, casting aside the distracting thoughts.
The price of a Grade A cultivation cave abode is quite high; it's not an exaggeration to say that an inch of time is an inch of gold.
He naturally didn't want to waste it.
He casually activated all the restrictions,
Li Lan also set up the few sets of formations he carried with him.
Only then did he take out a mid-grade Breakthrough Pill and consume it, quickly entering a state of cultivation,
and once again launched an assault on the Cultivation Base of Qi Refining Late Stage.
After a year,
Li Lan had accumulated much experience from failed breakthroughs,
He was already very familiar with the entire process and had his own unique insights on how to avoid failure and ensure success as much as possible.
The medicinal power of the Breakthrough Pill transformed into a cool current, flowing into his dantian.
The speed at which the eight magical power vortexes circulated suddenly slowed down.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Lan took out the purple sandalwood tree core from his storage bag.
As soon as it was exposed to the air,
this special spiritual material, like the eye of a storm, gathered all the surrounding spirit qi together.
These heaven and earth spirit qi formed a high-speed rotating vortex centered around the purple sandalwood tree core.
The vortex spun faster and faster, emitting bursts of sharp whistling sounds.
This sound, like the wailing of ghosts and wolves, constantly echoed in the cave abode,
the deafening whistling sound was like thunder exploding in his ears, stinging his eardrums.
Li Lan frowned slightly,
He hadn't expected that as the heaven and earth spirit qi became richer, the abnormal phenomena triggered by the purple sandalwood tree core would become more intense.
But soon,
he also relaxed.
Fortunately, the cave abode came with many restrictions,
which could isolate magical power fluctuations below the Foundation Establishment (Early Stage).
The cultivation realm of the purple sandalwood tree core at this time definitely wouldn't reach the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Naturally, there was no need to worry that this commotion would break through the restrictions, spread outside, and be detected by other cultivators.
Li Lan did not worry unnecessarily but fully immersed himself in the breakthrough.
He placed his hand on the purple sandalwood tree core,
the spirit qi within it, which had been partially refined and was like rootless duckweed,
seemed to find an outlet instantly, surging into Li Lan's body frantically.
He had anticipated this situation and calmly circulated his qi, converting it into magical power.
Soon,
in his dantian, the ninth magical power vortex rapidly condensed,
Li Lan injected strands of completely refined magical power into it.
This new magical power vortex steadily grew stronger.
This process lasted for an unknown amount of time. As time passed,
that Huang Family cultivator once again arrived in front of the Shen No. 14 cave abode.
Li Lan had exceeded the agreed-upon time, but out of fear of not being able to see through his cultivation realm,
he didn't dare to disturb him rashly, but just waited quietly outside the cave abode.
After more than four hours had passed,
the Huang Family cultivator hesitated for a long time before finally gritting his teeth and inquiring through a sound transmission talisman.
Soon.
The layers of restrictions covering the Grade A No. 14 cave abode disappeared,
and the tightly closed stone door, with a rumbling sound, slowly opened.
