for the rest of the time.

Xu Changshou continued his retreat.

He secluded himself for three months in a row, but had to stop practicing after three months because the wind talisman had been used up and he had to draw more talismans.

This time, Xu Changshou spent more than two months drawing a thousand wind-moving talismans.

He roughly calculated that one thousand tickets were enough to pay for seven months of tasks.

After another seven months of practice, he would be able to break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Then, he immersed himself in hard practice.

Someday after July.

boom!

Suddenly.

A barrier in Xu Changshou's body was broken through, and spiritual energy rushed into his body like a tide.

A huge amount of spiritual energy gathered at the Guanyuan acupoint, where it converged into a golden cyclone the size of a goose egg.

Xu Changshou only felt that the spiritual energy in his body was rich and his spirit was a hundred times stronger.

After a year of seclusion and hard training, he finally broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refining.

After completing the breakthrough, the next step is to continue drawing talismans.

It's nothing but boring.

Xu Changshou was lucky as he still had plenty of time to retreat, but the other menial disciples were miserable as they had to complete their tasks before they could meditate and practice.

Without complete time for seclusion, the speed of cultivation would of course be greatly reduced. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Yang Bailao to have only reached the tenth level of Qi Refining now.

He is already over fifty years old, so there is no hope for him to build a foundation in this lifetime.

Calculating the time, half of this month has passed, and there are only thirty Wind Talismans left in my hand, which is not enough to complete this month's tasks.

Next, draw the talisman.

In half a month, Xu Changshou drew 270 wind-moving talismans, plus the original 30, a total of 300.

As his cultivation level increased, Xu Changshou drew more talismans and could draw three more talismans every day.

That’s right, now he can draw eighteen wind talismans every day, and without consuming any spiritual energy.

Of course, the more talismans you draw, the more tasks you will have to complete in the future.

The last afternoon of the month.

Yang Bailao came to Xu Changshou's Taoist temple.

Now he has gotten used to it, and every month when he has to hand in his tasks, he goes with Xu Changshou.

"Huh? Junior Brother Xu, you actually made a breakthrough."

Yang Bailao was very surprised to see Xu Changshou break through the eighth level of Qi Refining.

You have to know that Xu Changshou's spiritual roots are far inferior to his. When he came to Green Ink Peak, he was also at the seventh level of Qi Refining. It took him ten years to break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining.

It’s not that his cultivation speed is slow, but because drawing talismans requires the output of spiritual energy. After the output of spiritual energy, it has to be restored. Only after the spiritual energy is restored can he cultivate.

Going back and forth is not only laborious but also a waste of time.

It took Xu Changshou only more than a year to break through the eighth level of Qi Refining, which was far beyond his imagination.

"Junior Brother Xu, how did you do it?" Yang Bailao asked curiously.

"My ancestors were born in Mengyin..."

After saying this perfunctorily, Xu Changshou said no more.

"congratulations!"

Yang Bailao did not ask any more questions. Everyone has their own secrets, let alone cultivators.

The biggest taboo in the cultivation world is to pry into other people's privacy. If you are not careful, you may bring about fatal disaster.

Therefore, if others are unwilling to talk more, try not to ask.

"Junior Brother Xu, let's go and hand in the mission."

"Yes!"

……

"Eighth level of Qi refining!"

Li Daitu couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Xu Changshou's cultivation level.

However, he quickly calmed down and said with a smile, "Not bad, not bad. You've broken through to the eighth level of Qi Refining. That's good news. This month's tasks will remain the same. Starting next month, you will have to hand in 180 Wind-Moving Talismans every month. At the same time, your monthly salary will be increased by 20 Broken Spirit Stones."

"The disciple understands."

……

Rest the next day.

Xu Changshou did not go out or practice, and planned to have a good rest at home.

He has just made a breakthrough, so he shouldn't be too anxious about cultivation.

Just combine work and rest.

Tuk-tuk-tuk...

Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.

"Who?"

"Junior Brother Xu, it's me!"

A strange yet familiar voice came from outside the door.

Although they had not seen each other for a long time, Xu Changshou immediately recognized that the person coming was Ye Shanhu.

"Is it Senior Sister Ye?"

"Exactly."

"Hold on!"

Xu Changshou removed the formation and then walked over to open the gate.

I saw a pretty girl in a green Taoist robe standing at the door.

The girl has red lips, white teeth, bright eyes, and a slender figure that is eye-catching.

Xu Changshou couldn't help but stare in amazement. It is said that girls change a lot when they grow up, and Ye Shanhu at this moment was so beautiful that it was impossible to take your eyes off her.

Ye Shanhu didn't care about Xu Changshou's gaze, and subconsciously puffed out her chest: "Why, you won't invite me in?"

"Please, please, please come in, Senior Sister Ye."

Xu Changshou brought Ye Shanhu into the house, poured her tea, and then sat opposite her.

"Senior Sister Ye, long time no see."

"Long time no see, eh? Eighth level of Qi Refining? You've broken through to the eighth level."

Suddenly, Ye Shanhu's beautiful eyes widened a little, as if she saw something incredible.

You know, among the ten people in their Gengzi Academy, Xu Changshou has always been the slowest in cultivation, and the one with the worst spiritual roots. Moreover, when tasks were assigned, Xu Changshou was assigned to the Green Ink Peak with the worst conditions.

Under such circumstances, it took him less than two years to break through the eighth level of Qi Refining. This is simply unbelievable.

It is a well-known fact that the menial disciples of Green Ink Peak are notoriously slow in their cultivation because they have to draw talismans.

Why was Xu Changshou's cultivation speed not affected? How did he do it?

Xu Changshou glanced at Ye Shanhu, secretly shocked, and said with a smile: "You have already broken through the ninth level of Qi Refining, why can't I break through the eighth level of Qi Refining?"

That’s right, Ye Shanhu is already a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining, one level higher than his.

This is the difference between the second generation of immortals and ordinary cultivators.

In terms of spiritual roots, Ye Shanhu is not much stronger than Yang Bailao.

In terms of cultivation, Ye Shanhu is at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and Yang Bailao is at the tenth level of Qi Refining.

But Ye Shanhu was only fifteen years old, and Yang Bailao was already fifty years old.

This is the effect of cultivation brought about by the gap between the rich and the poor.

"That's not what I meant. I just didn't expect Junior Brother Xu to cultivate so fast. Please don't be offended!"

"You're welcome, Senior Sister Ye. I don't mean to blame you."

"By the way, Senior Sister Ye, how are they?"

Xu Changshou couldn't help but ask. Since entering Green Ink Peak, he had never seen anyone from the Gengzi Academy again.

"It's hard to describe in words."

Ye Shanhu shook her head slightly and said, "There are a few people I haven't contacted, including Li Linhao, Su Mo, Han Zong, Shi Wantong, and Qian Yuanbao.

Zhang Feixian is preparing to break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Lin Xian'er's cultivation speed is quite fast. She broke through the eighth level of Qi Refining a month ago."

Xu Changshou was surprised: "Lin Xian'er also broke through?"

He thought that apart from Ye Shanhu, he was the only one who had made a breakthrough.

"Where's Jiang Xiaochuan?"

“I’ve met Junior Brother Jiang before. He asked me to help him buy some pills and he seemed to be planning to break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Oh, and he also said that after the breakthrough, he would come to you first."

"Oh?"

Xu Changshou laughed when he heard this.

He knew that Jiang Xiaochuan was holding his breath, waiting to break through the eighth level of Qi Refining so that he could call him senior brother.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed away from seeing me for so long.

"Senior Sister Ye, what do you want from me today?"

"Junior Brother Xu, I came here to ask for a favor."
