C102 Hard Training
Normally, in such an environment, no one would be willing to enter the Hengduan Mountains. But today, many figures appeared. Each of them had a look of excitement on their faces, as if they were eager to try it out.
These people were obviously the rogue cultivators from the Falling Cloud Town. They were coveting Sun Bing's fortune, and wanted to enter the Hengduan Mountains to reach the sky in a single bound. However, their speed was too slow, and they had only arrived at the outer perimeter of the Hengduan Mountains.
Without any hesitation, they split into groups of three to five and slowly headed towards the depths of the Hengduan Mountains. Each of them had sharp eyes as they scanned their surroundings. Even if there was a slight movement of the wind or grass, they would definitely investigate it thoroughly and wouldn't let go of any clues.
Unfortunately, the final result disappointed them. If they were to chase after an ordinary rogue cultivators, they would have nowhere to hide under such close inspection, because the thick snow on the ground would reveal the footprints of a person.
However, with the Floating Light, Sun Bing would not leave behind any clues. Even the dozen Qi Refining Stage warriors could not find him, let alone these low level rogue cultivators. Therefore, they could only rely on their numbers to slowly search for him.
However, the Hengduan Mountains was huge. It was impossible to find a single person in it, and it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Furthermore, there were countless dangers involved. If one was not careful, he would lose his life.
However, under such tremendous pressure, the Rogue Cultivators didn't back off. It continued to look for Sun Bing with great interest. At this moment, in their eyes, Sun Bing was no longer a powerful cultivator. He was merely a prey.
Time passed in the blink of an eye. Unknowingly, five days had passed.
At this moment, in the cave, Sun Bing was like a rock without any sound. He quietly sat there, because he hadn't moved for a long time. His green robe was even stained with dust, as if he had died.
After a long time, Sun Bing slowly exhaled and opened his eyes. He sighed softly, "After such a long time of recuperation, my injuries have finally recovered."
In these five days, Sun Bing didn't move at all. All of his thoughts were concentrated in his body, quietly healing any injuries on his body. Today, he had barely recovered.
The huge Dantian was once again filled up by the Genuine Essence. Sun Bing could feel how powerful he was at this moment. If it was the previous him, he would be crushed by the Sword Force. It could be said that his combat strength had increased tremendously.
However, Sun Bing still didn't make any moves when he arrived, because only now did he finally realize the influence of his cultivation base on his strength. After a series of battles, Sun Bing's foundation had become quite solid. Furthermore, he had also felt the opportunity to break through during the previous battle. Now, it was time for him to make a breakthrough.
Immediately, Sun Bing continued to sit cross-legged on the spot. His mind was immersed in the Dantian. At this moment, the Dantian was like a pillar. It was rotating slowly, looking extremely charming. Strands of Genuine Qi passed through the circulation of the minor circulation and the jade bead in his arms, but they were all condensed by the sword case. The process of transforming into unknown Genuine Essence was quite ingenious. It moved one's heart and soul.
If Body Quenching Stage could only be considered as laying the foundation, then Qi Refining Stage was the true threshold of cultivation. This was because Qi Refining Stage could automatically absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth through the Big Cycle's circulation, allowing him to become stronger.
Although it sounded simple, without guidance, more than 90% of the rogue cultivators wouldn't be able to break through the barrier of a level 1. At least, Sun Bing didn't see any Qi Refining Stage or above cultivators in the Falling Cloud Town.
Speaking of which, the Qi Refining Pill that Sun Bing extorted from Steward Qin didn't have any effect on him, because as his cultivation realm increased, he became more and more clear that he had to be down-to-earth, even when it came to cultivation.
Although the Qi Refining Pill sounded pretty good, it was prepared for those who did not have talent. It could only increase their chances of breaking through. Even if they broke through, they would never be able to advance for the rest of their lives. With Sun Bing's talent, he was not afraid of this obstacle at all.
Immediately, Sun Bing's mind slowly moved the Genuine Essence in his Dantian, and it rushed towards the Big Cycle's meridians.
The Big Cycle needed the Genuine Qi to follow the Twelve Standard Meridians for a week. From the bottom of the Dantian to the middle of his body, from the three yin to his chest, then from the back of his hand to the top of his head, from the bottom of his back to the bottom of his feet, from the top of his head to the bottom of his back. Then, from the center of his feet, the Three Yin Great Stream and the Three Yin were connected to his stomach, then to his chest, and so on and so forth.
However, Sun Bing's previous Big Cycle had never been broken through, so he had to start from scratch. The condensed Genuine Essence was slowly being instilled into his meridians, continuously, as if it would never stop.
Compared to the minor circulation, the meridians of the Big Cycle were wider. But from what Yang Chao heard, Sun Bing's natural endowment was not as good as he had imagined. Therefore, the current Big Cycle could not help but be blocked. Furthermore, because Sun Bing had not broken through to the front line, the meridians of the Big Cycle were damaged.
This was also good because the injuries weren't serious. Sun Bing didn't care at all. As long as he opened the Big Cycle in one go, he wouldn't be able to recover from such a small injury in a short period of time.
Compared to the minor circulation, there were more bottlenecks in the Big Cycle. There were a total of 36 of them, and each of them was harder to break through than the last.
There was no fear in Yue Jue's eyes. He saw the Genuine Essence in the Big Cycle gather together, and then rush forward at lightning speed. Even when he encountered a checkpoint, he broke through without any hindrance.
This was because Sun Bing knew that this was all because of the Genuine Essence. Normally, the more condensed the Genuine Qi was, the stronger it would become. However, no matter how much a Body Quenching Stage compressed the Genuine Qi, they would only be able to obtain it. It was far from turning into a Genuine Essence. In fact, even a Qi Refining Stage warrior would rarely be able to condense a Genuine Essence.
Compared to ordinary people, Sun Bing naturally had a huge advantage in this aspect. Using a Genuine Qi would take him several times to break through the bottleneck. In front of the Genuine Essence, he was like a piece of paper, unable to stop it at all.
Sun Bing was not blinded by the momentary advantage. His face was still calm and composed. He quietly urged his True Yuan to charge towards the next barrier. The following result was naturally the same. The first barrier did not even consume a little bit of Sun Bing's strength, and he easily broke through it.
Initially, he wanted to break through all the checkpoints in one go, but all of a sudden, Sun Bing frowned. This time, not only did he fail to break through the next checkpoint with his Genuine Essence, he even felt a sharp pain.
In an instant, Sun Bing's expression couldn't help but turn serious. This meant that it would be very difficult to break through the next barrier. Immediately, Sun Bing let out a long breath and calmed himself down. He continued circulating the Genuine Essence in his body and continued to break through the next barrier.
After such a long period of time, Sun Bing couldn't help but feel lucky in his heart. One should know that even his Genuine Essence couldn't break through the next barrier in one go. It would be even more difficult for those ordinary ninth level of Body Quenching Stage warriors to break through the next barrier.
At the same time, a faint Heaven and Earth spiritual energy condensed around Sun Bing's body, forming a visible spiritual energy whirlpool. Finally, it flowed into Sun Bing's body through the meridians that had been opened up.
After all, breaking through was a huge test for cultivators. If one failed halfway because of the lack of Genuine Essence, it would be very difficult to break through again. Of course, this wasn't a problem for Sun Bing.
Because of the sword case and the jade bead, his Dantian was filled to the brim with Genuine Essence. If it was converted into an ordinary Genuine Qi, it would be ten times more than a person of the same realm. One could imagine how terrifying it was. Moreover, with the help of the jade bead... The speed of converting the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy was incomparably fast. It was impossible for one to lack Genuine Essence.
