Cultivation begins with ice harvesters

Chapter 92: Qi Refining Level 7

Inside the quiet room, Tong Bingfeng did not immediately attempt to break through the bottleneck. Instead, he sat cross-legged, calming his mind and circulating his energy to stabilize his emotions and ensure that the mana he had consumed during his journey would return to its peak.

He deeply understood the principle that "sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood," and he practiced it diligently. Now, at this crucial juncture, he naturally showed no impatience whatsoever.

In front of the cultivator, there was a jade bottle and a gourd, which were spiritual items he had prepared in advance for this advancement in cultivation.

The jade bottle contained a first-grade superior Hunyuan Pill, a spiritual pill specifically designed to assist late-stage Qi Refining cultivators in their daily cultivation. He had previously obtained it from Liu Guangqing's storage bag and had experience refining this spiritual pill. It was pure and calm, with rich and pure spiritual energy. Once one successfully advances to the seventh level of Qi Refining, it becomes the best spiritual pill to assist in cultivation.

Even if this attempt fails, the effects of the Hunyuan Pill can be used to protect the dantian and meridians, minimizing any substantial damage to the physical body.

The gourd was naturally the water-attribute crystal gourd on which he placed high hopes, and it was also the most fundamental reliance that enabled him to make such a decisive decision to break through the bottleneck.

In the quiet room, apart from the occasional breathing of the cultivators, there was no other sound. Cultivating here, one could not even perceive the passage of time.

Several days have passed in the blink of an eye, and Tong Bingfeng finally opened his eyes, finding himself initially satisfied with his condition.

Not only did he recover all the mana he had consumed on his swift journey back to Ice Spirit Island from the Spirit Ice Mine, but he even attempted to further solidify the mana in his dantian.

"The bottleneck is clearly visible, all preparations are complete, everything is ready except for the final push. The advancement to the seventh level of Qi Refining officially begins today. Success is the only option."

The gleam in Tong Bingfeng's eyes, besides ambition, also contained a special component called determination.

The cultivator closed his eyes again, his face calm and expressionless, but his mind was in an unprecedented state of activity.

In daily cultivation, as one's cultivation level advances, the divine sense accumulated bit by bit, under the cultivator's active command, transforms into the shape of sharp arrows, heading straight for the dantian.

With the divine sense arrow at its core, the magical power within the dantian will gather from all directions without the cultivator needing to mobilize it, surrounding it layer by layer and quickly forming a genuine arrow of magical power.

Moreover, this arrow, which combines divine sense and magical power, is not a single arrow, but a dense array of nearly a hundred, neatly arranged in the dantian. With just a command, it can become a deadly weapon that takes lives.

"Targeting the bottleneck, with magical power and divine consciousness as the core, heed my command!"

As a qualified cultivator, he would not hesitate at all at this moment. After all the arrows were successfully fused together, Tong Bingfeng gave the order.

"call out"

The first arrow, positioned at the outermost edge of the dantian, immediately transformed into a whistling arrow, shooting upwards with a stable target located directly above the dantian, forming a bottleneck that hindered its progress.

"Bang"

The moment the arrow made contact with the bottleneck, this arrow, formed by the fusion of divine sense and magical power, instantly exploded, unleashing its destructive potential to its peak.

Moreover, at the moment the arrow exploded, all the destructive force was concentrated on the arrowhead, which was a typical concentrated explosion. Unfortunately, for the current bottleneck, the damage was limited, leaving only a small black mark to prove that it had existed.

Its effect is roughly equivalent to a burning, exploding torch striking a solid wall; only the black mark left by the high temperature of the burning remains, and the wall itself suffers no other additional damage.

"The bottleneck is so formidable; it truly lives up to its reputation as a mountain that hinders cultivators' advancement."

"Unfortunately, my preparations today are more comprehensive than ever before; this arrow is just the beginning."

Tong Bingfeng remained confident, and under his command, arrows, centered on his dantian, transformed into streams of arrows that flowed upwards and struck the same point on the bottleneck.

Each arrow, formed from divine sense and magical power, disregards its own survival; its sole purpose is to blast a gap in the bottleneck before it.

Of course, as a cultivator who controls everything, he also has to pay a certain price after each arrow fails to strike.

The arrow exploded, and most of its divine sense and magical power naturally returned to the dantian to form the subsequent suicidal attack sequence. However, the consumption of magical power and divine sense was still unavoidable.

At the moment of the explosion, a small portion of magical power and divine consciousness is always consumed as a drawer. In addition, each failed impact will bring some backlash, more or less.

One or two backlashes cannot cause any substantial harm to a cultivator, but after ten, twenty, thirty, or even hundreds of times, the cultivator will also have to pay the price. As time passed, Tong Bingfeng was naturally unable to withstand all of them unscathed, and strands of blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.

However, Tong Bingfeng had already anticipated this level of injury, and his entire focus remained on the impact of the sharp arrows in his dantian, without shifting his attention in the slightest.

There is always a reward for every effort. Under the suicidal attack of one sharp arrow after another, a fist-sized crater has been left on the originally indestructible bottleneck, with fine, barely perceptible cracks next to it.

At this moment, the abundant magical power that was originally full in his dantian was only about half left, and the divine consciousness in his mind was almost gone, unable to continue to support such a suicidal attack.

As long as a cultivator in the Qi Refining stage has not completely exhausted their spiritual sense, they can actively recover it through daily rest and other means.

In the all-powerful world of cultivation, there are naturally some rare elixirs specifically designed to help cultivators in the Qi Refining stage recover their spiritual consciousness. However, they are expensive and scarce, making them unsuitable for impoverished rogue cultivators like Tong Bingfeng.

"My divine sense is almost depleted. I will now launch the second wave of attack. Mana Tide, command!"

As a qualified cultivator, Tong Bingfeng naturally had a backup plan in advance. He was not anxious at all. The chaotic and disordered magic power in his dantian was restored under the cultivator's control, turning into ripples like flowing water, orderly and orderly, just like the shimmering surface of a lake.

The lake, temporarily formed by all remaining mana, began to sway back and forth. With each increase in force and frequency, the amplitude and force of the lake's swaying were constantly accumulating, and its destructive and lethal power was not to be underestimated.
