Xuanxia

Chapter 229 First attempt
"Well……"

A ray of sunlight shone into Fu Qingzhou's eyes, forcing him to tilt his head, but it was difficult for him to fall asleep again, so he had to wake up.

At the same time, a hot towel was gently handed to his cheek and wiped gently.

He opened his eyes and saw Tang Jiao at a glance.

"Brother, are you awake?"

She smiled and said, "You drank too much last night."

Fu Qingzhou smiled bitterly.

He had indeed drunk too much, so much that even his powerful cultivation couldn't resist it, and in the end he was drunk to the point of blacking out.

There were more than a hundred people, and they fought hard to get through the game. In the end, they had to offer you another bowl of rice. If one bowl was not enough, they had to give you another bowl of rice.

Thinking of this, Fu Qingzhou's forehead veins suddenly jumped, and he sat up abruptly, eyes wide open: "Jiaojiao, how much did you drink last night?!"

Tang Jiao smiled helplessly.

"Brother, the restaurant owner hasn't figured it out yet..."

She held her forehead and said, "We drank too late, and the shopkeeper and the waiter couldn't hold on any longer and went to sleep, saying that we would settle the bill today. I took a look last night, and I saw that we emptied their wine cellar. They left because they had no more wine to drink."

Fu Qingzhou took a breath of cold air.

"and many more……"

He narrowed his eyes and said, "We drank so much, and the restaurant owner actually went to sleep without worrying about it?"

"Oh...it's okay. We bet a lot of things."

At this point, Tang Jiao smiled bitterly again: "First, the young leader put his sword box on the line. After that, the others saw this and took out their own treasures and put them on the line. Sister Qiu even put her Immortal Prison Formula on the line."

Fu Qingzhou: “…”

"Big brother, you also bet."

Tang Jiao whispered, "It's, it's the jade pendant you always carry with you."

Fu Qingzhou was shocked and reached out to touch his waist - sure enough, the jade pendant that the smoker had hidden was gone!

"Ahhh, drinking will cause trouble!"

He wailed.

"It's okay, big brother. I'll go get it back for you in a minute." Tang Jiao smiled sweetly and handed over a glass of water. "Don't worry. Money is a small matter. If we don't have money, we can borrow from the Young Alliance Leader and Young Master Zhao. At worst, we can go back to the mountain and get some treasures to pay them back."

Fu Qingzhou shook his head and sighed: "That's the only way."

As he said this, he reached out and took the glass of water.

The next second, the cup suddenly exploded in his hands!

The ceramic pieces shattered all over the bed and water spilled everywhere, scaring both him and Tang Jiao.

"what's going on?"

Fu Qingzhou looked down at his hands: "I, I didn't use any force?"

But he soon reacted.

The two powers in his body were now surging wildly like huge waves!

They are several times stronger than their previous peak state. Not only have they filled the meridians in the body which are much wider than those of ordinary people, but they have even overflowed into the bones and muscles.

That's why he couldn't control his strength and accidentally crushed the cup.

Fu Qingzhou understood and chuckled.

Although he had voluntarily given up the part of Qi Ran Jue cultivation that had been left in Yuan Wu's body, the sadness he felt when observing the lives of those victims could not be erased.

At the same time, destroying the Fanyin Temple was what he had been thinking about doing since he came down the mountain. Now that it was finally done, he felt extremely relieved.

These two emotions reached their peak last night when I was drunk.

So when he lost consciousness, the Qi Ran and Yi Ran skills quietly grew to a point where he could not control them temporarily...

"Jiaojiao."

Fu Qingzhou said: "I seem to be about to break through."

"Really?!" Tang Jiao was overjoyed: "Then I won't disturb you, big brother. Just focus on your breakthrough. I'll go guard the door for you! That jade pendant... I'll get it back for you in a minute!"

As she said this, she ran out of the room excitedly in small steps, even skipping a little.

Fu Qingzhou smiled, then crossed his legs and sat cross-legged, closing his eyes.

Since ancient times, there have been three major gates in the nine realms of martial arts.

The first hurdle is to break through the four realms, which means that you have entered the realm of martial arts and your cultivation has been finalized.

After the fourth realm and before the sixth realm, as long as one does not have extremely poor aptitude like Meng Zhugang in Wan Du Mountain, as long as one works harder and has some understanding, it is only a matter of time before one advances to the fifth realm.

The second hurdle is to break through the six realms.

The sixth realm requires activating the Dantian and transforming the internal energy into true energy. This process can be summed up in two words - compression.

To put it simply, internal breath is gas and true essence is liquid.

Breaking through the sixth realm may not involve life-threatening dangers, but it is extremely difficult. Practitioners in the fifth realm are as numerous as carp crossing the river, while most practitioners in the sixth realm have already left their names in the world. Therefore, only those who have reached the sixth realm or above can be truly called a "master" in the world.

The third hurdle is to break through the ninth realm and reach the pinnacle of martial arts.

To reach this state, one needs to open all the acupoints in the body, inhale and exhale the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with each breath, and cultivate the physical body to the extreme. After that, even if one advances to the Dongtian or Xuanxing realm, the physical body will always maintain the peak state of martial arts if it is not blessed by special spells and magical powers.

This must be done in one go and cannot be interrupted. According to the notes of the predecessors of Wuwei Temple, breaking through the peak of martial arts always takes at least ten days to half a month. Some people even spend a full four months in seclusion to break through.

During this process, one does not eat or drink, and does not defecate or urinate. Although those who can cultivate to the eighth level of martial arts can survive for several months without food or water, this is an extremely demanding test of one's spirit, patience, and perseverance.

Now Fu Qingzhou is about to break through the second mysterious barrier - the sixth realm of martial arts!
In fact, the time he stayed in the fifth realm was not long, it could even be said to be very short.

Half a month before leaving Langhuan Mountain, he barely broke through the fifth realm.

But after going down the mountain for several months and experiencing many troubles, the two techniques of Qi Ran and Yi Ran made great progress and pushed him to the edge of the limit of the fifth realm.

Perhaps... there is no better time to break through than now.

Fu Qingzhou took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. During this process, his mind became calm as water.

Now he no longer needs anyone's guidance. As early as in Wuwei Temple, he had already read a large number of books on opening up martial arts and breaking through realms.

Under his guidance, the two powerful forces in his body rolled to the vicinity of his dantian.

The next thing to do is to compress them all into the Dantian in one go and control them tightly. Before they turn into true essence, not a single bit of them is allowed to leak out of the Dantian!

If this is accomplished, all the spiritual energy that comes from breathing in and out in the future will go straight into the Dantian, turn into true energy, and then flow into the meridians.

If a breakthrough fails, the Dantian will be damaged. In mild cases, one will have to recuperate for several months before trying to break through again. In severe cases, the Dantian will be shattered, and it will be difficult to make any further progress in cultivation in this lifetime. It may even cause the meridians to collapse, resulting in the waste of all cultivation.

But Fu Qingzhou didn't think about these things at this time.

He cleared all distracting thoughts, and quietly moved all the internal energy in his body to the vicinity of his dantian. He took a deep breath, his chest rising high, and then shook his body, violently pouring the internal energy into his dantian!
