Chapter 37: Cultivation Breakthrough, Golden Light Becomes Armor

Ever since he mastered the Ning Yuan Zhen Jue, Shi Jian began to actively practice the San Hua Wu Qi Chao Yuan Zhen Jue without any hesitation.

The amount of true Qi in the body also changes day by day. Although the overall speed of cultivation has declined, Shi Jian soon discovered that the amount of true Qi flowing into the body is increasing with each practice of the Three Flowers and Five Qis Returning to the Origin True Art.

As one thing increased while the other decreased, his cultivation speed did not decrease...

After the Three Flowers and Five Qis Converging to the Origin Art has reached a peak, even if the Condensing Origin Art is used to refine it, the speed of cultivation will be faster than before!
This was something Shi Jian had not expected.

One night two months later...

Inside Shi Jian's bamboo house, he continued to practice the Three Flowers and Five Qis to the Origin Technique and purify his true qi as usual. Soon, Shi Jian discovered that the amount of true qi in his dantian had reached its limit!

A strong desire to break through rose in his heart, but Shi Jian remained calm. It had been more than a week since he broke through the eleventh level of Qi training, and he had not planned to break through so quickly.

But now I can no longer suppress it...

The true Qi in his body surged like a mighty river, one wave higher than the other. There was no bottleneck at the eleventh level of Qi training, and Shi Jian broke through easily!
The entire Dantian space also expanded accordingly.

At the same time, the sense of comfort brought by the breakthrough in his cultivation also made Shi Jian's face flush.

His eyes suddenly opened, and a strong breath poured out!

But soon, he regained his composure...

On the second day, Wu Chenzi came to check on Shi Jian's condition as usual. Although there seemed to be no change in his appearance, his temperament had improved.

Because of the jade pendant on Shi Jian's neck, Wu Chenzi did not know that Shi Jian had made a breakthrough.

Just think that my apprentice is born with a natural temperament...

When Shi Jian saw his master coming, he did not choose to inform him proactively. Who made Wu Chenzi not ask?

cough cough...

Well, actually Shi Jian also wanted to hold back a big move and give his master a big surprise!

"Disciple, if the Condensation Secret is difficult to practice, don't be so stubborn and keep practicing it.

In fact, in my mind, the true Qi in your body is already pure enough, and purifying it is unnecessary.

When you break through to the Foundation Establishment Real Person, your Qi will turn into True Essence, and combined with the Lightning Thunder Fist, you will be powerful enough!"

Finally he sighed. Wu Chenzi still couldn't bear to watch his disciple wasting time, even though he didn't need this little time for cultivation...

Unfortunately, Wu Chenzi miscalculated. No one in Maoshan could successfully practice the Ning Yuan Zhen Jue. That was because there were not many people who practiced Qi, and Qi practice was not easy. Instead of choosing to purify it, it would be better to speed up the practice and achieve the foundation building.

Haven’t you seen that the few Qi-training elders in Maoshan almost all started to build their foundation at the ninth level of Qi-training?

None of them chose to cultivate to the tenth or even twelfth level of Qi training...

It’s because the speed of cultivation is too slow. Building the foundation in advance means a surge in strength, increased lifespan, and improved status!
They are afraid...

They don’t dare to gamble…

I don’t know how to gamble!

But Shi Jian...

He was too special, and even Wu Chenzi, with all his years of cultivation experience, was unable to judge him. In the end, Wu Chenzi still underestimated Shi Jian's cultivation speed.

"Master, I am very satisfied with this Condensation Technique. My cultivation speed has not slowed down because of it. Master, please rest assured. I will not make you worry about the choices!"

Shi Jian's eyes were determined, and he looked unstoppable.

Wu Chenzi frowned immediately and said no more. His disciple was very opinionated and would not change his mind easily, so Wu Chenzi could only give up.

"Forget it. After all, I was too worried and still treated you as an ordinary twelve or thirteen-year-old child. And you...

You are different from ordinary people. You are born with supernatural powers, an innate Taoist body, and you were struck by heavenly thunder, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise. There are too many mysteries about you.

Twelve years old and already at the tenth level of Qi training!
It’s not an exaggeration to say that he is a banished immortal from heaven…”

Finally, Wu Chenzi smiled bitterly. After all, he cared too much.

"There is a fish in the North Sea, its name is Kun, it is born from the innate primordial chaos, and can swallow the dragon!
Perhaps, I shouldn't interfere too much in your growth...

"You can decide your future path yourself, my disciple. If you have any questions, you can always ask me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wuchenzi had already floated away...

Shi Jian stood where he was. He was no fool and could feel his master's strong expectations and concerns for him.

But for some things, especially regarding cultivation, Shi Jian still hopes that he can make the decision himself!

This is also the reason why Shi Jian did not immediately inform Wu Chenzi of his breakthrough in cultivation, and the reason why the purification of the Ning Yuan Zhen Jue was also extremely smooth.

After watching his master leave for a long time, Shi Jian slowly exhaled, compared his own height, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"Master, I am now half a head shorter than you..."

Muttering to himself, Shi Jian's eyes gradually closed slightly. The true energy in his body was extremely powerful. As rays of golden light shone through his body, the golden light spell became more powerful as Shi Jian's cultivation level broke through!
With every move and every technique, Shi Jian began to slowly practice martial arts. His body was shining with golden light and thunder exploded in his palms.

As the breeze blew across his body, Shi Jian's movements became faster and faster, lightning continuously streaked across the void from his palms, and the sound of thunder continued to rise and fall...

In other parts of the body, the Golden Light Mantra was also pushed to the extreme. Rays of golden light shone brightly and gradually began to gather. The originally invisible golden light attached to Shi Jian's body.

In a short while, the golden light had turned into a solid shape like armor!

The eyelashes trembled suddenly, the thunder dissipated, and the golden light shone, like the sun descending, with endless power...

Until he finally calmed down, stopped, clasped his hands together, opened his eyes, and smiled slightly.

"Golden Light Transformed into Armor, the fourth level of the Golden Light Divine Mantra, finally completed!"

There was no excitement, nor too much joy. To Shi Jian, all this seemed to be a natural outcome, and it was supposed to be this way...

Shi Jian's breakthrough in cultivation and the transformation of golden light into armor did not attract anyone's attention. However, at the foot of Damao Peak, other disciples of the same generation who had also practiced hard for two months also reaped great rewards!
Lin Fengjiao had made some progress in internal martial arts, and her Tiangang footwork was becoming more and more proficient. Even her magical powers had improved to a higher level, reaching the third level of magic cultivation.

In addition, Qianhe, Simu, and Yinggu have reached the peak of the second level of cultivation. All they lack is an opportunity.

The other disciples all achieved something. Even the laziest Mamadi had cultivated to the peak of the first level of cultivation...

The elders of each hall naturally noticed these changes. In addition to being happy, they also felt a little more hopeful.

As things stand now, the 72nd generation disciples are much better than the 71st generation disciples in terms of overall talent and hard work at the same time!
Maoshan will surely continue to be passed down because of these two generations of disciples...

What's more, there is a super invincible freak like Shi Jian. The elders speculated that even if it was a disciple of the 71st generation, who had practiced for more than ten years, he would still lose against Shi Jian!
Maoshan, everything is moving in a good direction...

But outside Maoshan, the Qing court was even more corrupt, the people were living in misery, and recently the Eight-Nation Alliance had captured the capital.

In such a chaotic world, demons and evil spirits are constantly born...

　Perhaps, the fact that the eldest brother is so talented means that he has the ability to change some things...

　　Ahem, I've gone off topic. Next, I might tear a few missionaries apart for fun. This should be reasonable, right?
　　Let's talk about it, whether to do it or not, waiting for your suggestions...

　　I didn’t have classes this morning, so I updated it in advance, but I usually update around 10 o’clock in the evening.
