Chapter 54: The First Heart Demon Tribulation
Chapter 54: The First Heart Demon Tribulation
bottleneck.
I often saw this word when reading novels in my previous life.
Now that I have encountered it myself, I realize what a deep helplessness it is.
Ye Yunqi asked again about the subsequent cultivation, and the answer he got was almost the same as what Jiang Qingzi had said before.
After returning home, Ye Yunqi went into the quiet room to practice.
He hoped to rely on the essence of blood and energy to force his way through the bottleneck.
The spiritual energy in Dantian was impacted, with more coming and more going.
Just like a cup filled with water, if you continue to pour water into it, it will overflow.
The overflowing spiritual energy dissipated in the body, and only a small part of it was used to nourish the body.
This is also due to the blessing of his own physique and blood essence, which opened up the limits of the body and allowed the essence of bones and blood to absorb spiritual energy and be strengthened.
For ordinary people, this part of nourishment can be almost ignored.
Most of the spiritual energy returned to the air and was then reabsorbed by Ye Yunqi.
It was absorbed and overflowed repeatedly like this. Under the constant pressure, the mist in the Dantian seemed to be a little thicker, but also seemed not to be.
"This is the bottleneck. It's really... futile..." A trace of helplessness flashed through Ye Yunqi's mind.
No wonder the word "bottleneck" is so terrifying. Many immortals who encounter bottlenecks give up practicing and turn to look for opportunities to break through the bottleneck.
Because it’s so discouraging, that feeling of futility.
It's like a coal miner who will never become a coal boss in his lifetime.
Just like there is no room for promotion without background.
It's just as depressing as working 996 hours a day at your workstation, which ends up enriching others but wasting your own time.
Suddenly, Ye Yunqi stopped thinking, feeling somewhat puzzled: "Why did I suddenly think so much?"
"Especially those depressing thoughts from the previous life, which came out uncontrollably and made people lose the ambition to practice."
"I'm different from others. I have a system in my hands. If the eighth-grade spiritual root doesn't work, then the seventh-grade one will do! The sixth-grade one! As long as I have more offspring, everything will be fine!"
The word "system" seemed to rekindle the fire of hope and swept away the dejected atmosphere.
Ye Yunqi calmed down and continued to practice. Although the system could solve the problem, he still wanted to try it again on his own before the system solved it!
After a sleepless night of practice, Ye Yunqi slowly ended his practice, and the mist in his body became a little thicker.
Even if you are at a bottleneck, struggle may not lead to success, but struggle is always more useful than no struggle, right?
"Only the eighth-grade spiritual roots have such a bottleneck, what will the seventh-grade spiritual roots be like?" Ye Yunqi thought of this and hurried to the farm.
Jiang Qingzi held the baby and felt a little regretful.
As a virgin girl, how could I have ever taken care of a child?
Now Zhenzhen feels that taking care of a child is too much trouble, and she was unable to practice well last night!
Seeing Ye Yunqi coming, Jiang Qingzi suddenly realized that it was already morning, and there was no magic chicken in the quiet room.
So he hurriedly handed the child to Ye Yunqi and said, "Junior Brother Ye, please help me take care of him. I'll go catch some chickens."
Suddenly, he saw Ye Yunqi's spiritual energy was flourishing and his blood was active. It was obvious that he had just finished practicing.
Jiang Qingzi asked, "Junior Brother Ye, are you practicing for another night?"
Ye Yunqi nodded: "That's right." Jiang Qingzi sighed: "I thought you wouldn't. After all, you are at a bottleneck."
Ye Yunqi took the baby. Although most children in the family were taken care of by concubines, Ye Yunqi would often play with the baby when he was free. He was much more experienced in taking care of the baby than Jiang Qingzi.
"How can you break through the bottleneck without practicing?" Ye Yunqi asked curiously.
Jiang Qingzi nodded: "That's the truth, but the truth is easy to understand but hard to practice, especially since there is more than one truth and one path in this world. There are always people who see the backs of people on other paths and are unwilling to follow their own path."
Jiang Qingzi continued, "People who have just reached a bottleneck will encounter their inner demons for the first time. Don't blame me for not telling you. The more others help you, the harder it is to overcome your inner demons. You can only rely on your own determination to seek the truth. I saw that my junior brother had an inner demon yesterday, but he has overcome it today. This shows how determined you are to seek the truth."
Ye Yunqi suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he was so depressed yesterday. It turned out that this was the so-called inner demon.
He just smiled and said, "So that's the inner demon! It would be great if the inner demon was that simple!"
Jiang Qingzi said with a light sigh: "That was just the first time I faced my inner demon on the road of cultivation. It was the weakest inner demon tribulation. You, don't be so frivolous."
Having said that, he turned around and went to catch the magic chicken.
Jiang Qingzi had nothing to say. Although it was her first inner demon tribulation, it was definitely not an easy tribulation to encounter.
There are many people who are trapped throughout their lives.
Even Jiang Qingzi himself didn't dare to say that he could get out of his inner tribulation so quickly.
Strictly speaking, Jiang Qingzi has not yet entered the inner demon calamity, but some precursors of the inner demon calamity have troubled her for more than half a year. It was not until she met Ye Yunqi that she felt that there was hope for her to build a foundation and that the opportunity was ahead, thus she was able to walk out of the shadow of the inner demon.
This is also the reason why Jiang Qingzi values Ye Yunqi so much.
This is not just an opportunity, a bit of blood and essence.
It is also a little reliance and hope for facing the inner demons.
Ye Yunqi didn't know what Jiang Qingzi was thinking. Seeing Jiang Qingzi walking out of the door nonchalantly and reaching for the spirit chicken, he thought that this first inner demon calamity was nothing worth mentioning, so he didn't think much about it.
While taking care of the baby, she waited for Jiang Qingzi.
After Jiang Qingzi caught the spirit chicken, he handed the baby to Jiang Qingzi and went into the quiet room to refine it.
After refining, the two divided the blood essence.
Ye Yunqi said, "Sister, if you take care of this baby, won't it affect you? How about I take it down the mountain and let the concubines take care of it?"
Jiang Qingzi was really moved.
I didn’t think taking care of a baby was difficult at first, but when I got one, I found it tedious.
Especially since Jiang Qingzi had too many things that she couldn't tell anyone, she didn't even want anyone to serve her.
There was no one to share the care for her.
Seeing Jiang Qingzi's hesitation, Ye Yunqi guessed that it was related to the promise between Jiang Qingzi and Jiang Li, so he said, "There is still some time left. Senior Sister Jiang can't keep wasting her time like this, right?"
"Leave the child to my concubine to take care of. When the time comes, Senior Sister Jiang can go get him. It won't be considered a delay."
Jiang Qingzi nodded: "That's the truth, I'll give you the child... No, I'll deliver it myself, and I'll get it back when the time comes."
At this point, Jiang Qingzi suddenly asked again: "Jiang Li entrusted the child to you before, but you refused. Why are you so kind now?"
Ye Yunqi smiled and said, "It was Jiang Li who begged me before. Even if he begged me, I would not be willing to do it. Now that he is my junior brother, I am taking the initiative to share my worries. It is different."
Jiang Qingzi's heart skipped a beat and she quickly pretended to look down at the baby in her arms.
