Enter the library.

Among the rows of information placed on dozens of bookshelves, Zhou Ming began to search.

There are more than ten thousand volumes of information in the bookshelf, most of which are research results summarized by some immortals.

and some exquisite theories on spiritual practice.

Not to mention the largest number of experiences on how to break through bottlenecks.

Zhou Ming took out a copy of "Song Minzi's Encyclopedia of Breakthrough Methods" and started reading.

After more than two hours, he put the book back on the shelf.

I generally feel confident.

According to the probability from small to large, he has three ways to break through.

The first type: retreat.

In a place where the environment is relatively comfortable, the concentration of spiritual energy is high, and there are basically no people to disturb you, you can retreat for a long time for more than two months. If you can enter the "complete comprehension" state, Zhou Ming, who is at the peak of the late stage of condensation, will quickly Find opportunities for breakthrough.

What's more, in Zhou Ming's system warehouse, he has never used any of the 100 [1% probability cards] and 10 [10% probability cards], a total of 110 probability cards.

If you use a few cards at the critical moment of retreat, the probability of breakthrough will definitely increase.

The second type: external assistance.

That is, in an environment with a high concentration of spiritual energy, and supplemented by elixirs such as Shen Gathering Pill and Spirit Transformation Pill, the probability of breaking through the bottleneck can be increased by more than 10 percentage points after taking it.

If you add probability cards, the probability of breakthrough is even higher.

The third type: Change the method.

With Zhou Ming's physique, any technique can be practiced, and there will basically be no side effects, no attribute conflicts, and no obsession, so the risk is very low.

If he no longer practices the "Chaos Immortal Art" and instead practices the techniques practiced by the character Ye Kong, the system's "experience sharing" function will be 100% effective and there will be no problem in becoming an immortal.

Of course, the "Chaos Immortal Art" broke out in the later period. It is impossible for Zhou Ming to give up this set of skills. After he becomes an immortal, he will scatter all the techniques Ye Kong has practiced and pick up the "Chaos Immortal Art" again.

Other monks would definitely fail in this kind of operation, but Zhou Ming's physique would not cause any problems.

This is the advantage brought by the body of all spirits.

As for the success rate, it's close to 100%.

There are three methods, which one is better?

Zhou Ming began to weigh.

"If you want to take a shortcut, changing your technique is the most efficient method with the highest probability of breakthrough, but..."

"The system has said that the most important thing in cultivation is the state of mind. If the cultivation level grows too fast and the state of mind remains in the same place, the further you go, the more likely it is that a spiritual energy riot will occur and you will become possessed."

"Moreover, this is just the first bottleneck. I just want to take a shortcut. What if there are more bottlenecks later and there is no shortcut?"

Furthermore, Zhou Ming is still very young at less than 15 years old, so there is no need to be so anxious.

There is no need to rush into changing the method.

"You can buy some elixirs and use external assistance. With the probability card, the probability of breakthrough will not be very low, but..."

"Elixirs are more or less erysipelas, which will pollute my pure physique and overdraw my future potential..."

Therefore, the elixir should be taken as little as possible, and as little as possible.

So can we only adopt the first method and conduct a longer period of retreat?

"It's better to try the first method first, shut up for two months and see the effect. If you can't make a breakthrough, try the second or third method."

After all, Zhou Ming is indeed still young and has plenty of time, so let him try something with less hidden dangers.

So after making up his mind, Zhou Ming borrowed a few books from the library and found his class teacher, saying that his cultivation had reached a bottleneck and he wanted to apply for a two-month "retreat leave."

The head teacher agreed. It is very normal to apply for "retreat leave". Each student can apply for it once per semester. The long term can be three months and the short term can be two months.

But the class teacher also told him that the four Spirit Gathering Towers in the school, the tower floors with higher spiritual energy multiples, were already overcrowded. If Zhou Ming wanted to apply to use the Spirit Gathering Tower, only the tower floors with 20 times the concentration could apply.

Zhou Ming nodded, indicating that he knew, but had no intention of applying to use the Spirit Gathering Tower.

Because 20 times the spiritual energy concentration is not enough for him.

His minimum requirement is 100 times.

So he asked Ah Fu to go to the refining mall and buy a high-end small spiritual gathering tower for personal use... which cost 15 million spiritual coins.

The maximum adjustable spiritual energy concentration of this small spirit gathering tower is 150 times, which is higher than the spiritual energy multiple on the top of the giant spirit gathering tower of Daxian Academy.

Completely meet Zhou Ming's needs.

It also illustrates a truth: if you have money, you can really do whatever you want.

After saying hello to his classmates and brothers, Zhou Ming spent the next two months in seclusion.

…

The retreat lasted for a month.

In the large bedroom on the second floor of the small villa.

In a small nut tower-shaped gathering spirit tower.

Under the illumination of the psychic light, the interior was gleaming white.

Sitting cross-legged on a futon, Zhou Ming closed his eyes, clasped his hands, and used his five-body Tianxin to run his skills and practice completely selflessly.

His expression was calm, but in reality he was very sinister.

Because the liquefied spiritual energy in his body was flowing along the meridians and Dantian at an extremely exaggerated speed.

Its flow speed can be said to be a thousand or ten thousand times faster than the blood flow speed, or even higher.

The high-speed spiritual energy flow went through at least hundreds of cycles in his body in one second.

He is now in an extremely dangerous state.

Once someone disturbs or interrupts him and makes him unable to control the violent spiritual energy in his body, his body may explode into pieces in an instant.

There is also a saying in the monk community: among all bottlenecks, only the solid elixir stage is the most difficult to break through, is the most dangerous, and has the highest mortality rate.

Why?

Because in order to compress the liquid spiritual energy into a pure solid state, the spiritual energy flow must be given a greater speed, otherwise it cannot be compressed.

Moreover, the rhythm of this compression process must be grasped, and after the attempt fails, enough soul power is still retained to complete the deceleration of the spiritual energy flow... But there are always people who are too impatient and cannot grasp this speed. In the end, the soul power is exhausted and the spiritual energy is exhausted. The flow was not able to slow down completely, resulting in severe damage to the meridians and Dantian.

Not only did they fail to break through, but they suffered heavy losses.

Zhou Ming has abundant soul power, so there is no need to worry about insufficient soul power. He can also increase the speed of the spiritual energy flow in the meridians and Dantian to a very high level and maintain it for a long time. He can also use a small amount of his spiritual consciousness to capture the key to the elixir. point.

Therefore, in terms of hardware from all parties, Zhou Ming, who is both in the late stage of liquid condensation, has great advantages and more breakthrough opportunities than ordinary monks.

But 1% of inspiration is really far more important than 99% of sweat. In the past month, Zhou Ming tried ten times in total and used ten [1% probability cards], but he got nothing and failed to break through.

This time it also ended in failure.

After the high-speed spiritual energy flow in his body slowed down and he rested for two days, his soul power was fully restored, and Zhou Ming continued to try.

But this time, Zhou Ming added "chips."

Used a [10% probability card]!

He gritted his teeth and said: "There are still ten chances to try, so I will use all ten [10% probability cards]! I don't believe it, I can't even catch a chance!"

Zhou Ming was furious. He clicked on a [10% probability card] worth 10 billion and was ready to spend all his money. Anyway, he still had several hundred billion in his account, which was not enough to buy more.

He just didn't believe that if he smashed so many probability cards, there would be no effect at all!

So, he started trying again.

[10% probability card] Consumed three cards in a row.

The effect finally appeared.

Shortly after using the third [10% probability card], Zhou Ming made a surprising discovery.

In the upper Dantian where the spiritual energy flow passed, his consciousness sensed a mysterious crystal with a special structure.

He immediately transferred a large amount of spiritual consciousness to this crystal.

That moment.

"Kacha~"

It was like the sound of a glass bottle neck cracking and breaking.

The high-speed spiritual energy flow approaching the riot seemed to be undergoing a fusion reaction.

The mysterious crystal in the upper dantian is like a dry black hole at this moment, sucking the liquid spiritual energy into it at an extremely alarming speed, like a long whale sucking water.

After a while, all the spiritual energy in Zhou Ming's body was absorbed into the mysterious crystal.

Even so, the size of the mysterious crystal is only slightly larger than a toothpick.

This is far from enough.

The spiritual energy in the small Spirit Gathering Tower, the spiritual energy outside the Spirit Gathering Tower, and the spiritual energy within a few kilometers of the small villa... all became the "food" for the mysterious crystal to strengthen itself.

As a result, an invisible vortex of spiritual energy that only monks could sense was created in the sky above the small villa.

This also indicates that a new immortal will soon appear in front of the world!
