Qi Refining Level 3000, Accepting The Empress As A Disciple At The Beginning

Ye Kong was startled and sat up straight instantly.

The dark, huge mass in front of him made Ye Kong shout "Ah!"

Ye Kong reached out and slapped it, making a "splat" sound, and the black stuff got all over the bed.

"What is this thing?" Ye Kong wondered.

However, he had hit it a bit hard, and it was completely unrecognizable. He could only roughly judge that it was some kind of spirit.

Ye Kong got out of bed, took off the bed sheet, and used the boiled water to wash the bed sheet over and over.

This thing would fall off when it touched water and dissolve in the rain, making it completely unrecognizable.

It was very strange.

When Master Suchuan finished copying the scriptures and came out, he saw Ye Kong squatting on the ground washing the bed sheet.

"Benefactor, you don't have to do it yourself. I'll do it," Master Suchuan said, taking the bed sheet.

Ye Kong waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need help, and reached out to flip the bed sheet over, revealing the stains on it.

When he saw the dark stuff on the bed sheet, Master Suchuan's expression changed, "Did this thing come looking for benefactor?"

Having said that, he turned to look at Ye Kong, his voice urgent, "Did benefactor open the windows and doors?"

Ye Kong nodded, he really did.

"Oh dear, I forgot to tell benefactor. When the rainy season comes to Yunhao Ancient Town, you must not open the windows, especially the windows near the bamboo forest. You must keep them tightly closed."

"Why is that?" Ye Kong asked.

"When the rainy season comes, the ground's barrier loosens, and those wandering souls will use the momentum of the bamboo forest to transform into black lumps and possess the living things within sight.

It's all my fault for being negligent and forgetting to remind benefactor," Master Suchuan explained, his voice full of guilt.

"It's okay, let them come. I'll beat one if one comes, and I'll take on a billion if a billion come!" Ye Kong said.

Master Suchuan shook his head, "Now that these things have entered benefactor's room, benefactor can no longer stay here. Benefactor should remember the way to the cave. While it's still night, I'll use a talisman to teleport benefactor over.

But benefactor must remember to keep your eyes tightly closed on the way, no matter what happens, do not open your eyes!"

"Very well." Since the trouble was already done, Ye Kong simply listened to Master Suchuan's arrangement.

"But I happen to have something to ask you," Ye Kong said, thinking of the stone in the cave, "By the way, the thing I was sitting on in the cave, is it the Longevity Stone?"

However, if it is the Longevity Stone, it is said that it can help to break through the fifth level of Nirvana, which is quite effective."

"Really?" Ye Kong's heart stirred, this was really heaven helping him!

"Then send me over immediately," Ye Kong said.

Master Suchuan returned to the east hall, and after a while, he took out a yellow talisman and placed it in Ye Kong's hand. Instantly, a burning sensation came from the palm of his hand. Ye Kong couldn't help but want to take a look, but was immediately stopped by Master Suchuan.

"From now on, benefactor must keep your eyes closed until the talisman is completely burned out and you return to the cave before you can open your eyes."

After saying that, Ye Kong heard the sound of the wind suddenly rising beside his ears, blowing up his sleeves. Instantly, a chill struck.

The talisman in his hand was burning brightly, and the rustling of bamboo leaves and the sound of rain falling on the ground mixed together beside his ears. In these sounds, Ye Kong heard someone calling his name.

"Ye Kong…"

"Ye Kong!"

The voice was neither fast nor slow, but it carried a hint of gentleness, a kind of familiarity, and a sense of certainty.

Ye Kong ignored it, but unexpectedly, the voice became closer and closer, and then, it directly appeared behind Ye Kong, and something tapped Ye Kong's back.

Ye Kong almost turned his head back in an instant, and was about to open his eyes, but he immediately remembered Master Suchuan's instructions in his mind.

"No matter what happens on the way, don't open your eyes."

Ye Kong waited for a moment, but the thing in front of him did not make the next move. Ye Kong turned back again, and his forehead collided with a cold, sticky thing.

With a "poof" sound, the dirty stuff smeared all over his face.

Ye Kong cursed in his mouth, knowing that it was those black things that were playing tricks. He clenched his other hand into a fist and hammered the ground. With one punch, golden light shone everywhere, blasting all the black filth. The entire bamboo forest instantly became bald, all the bamboo leaves fell, leaving only bare trunks.

Master Suchuan stood in front of the window and muttered to himself, "Who did you offend? You even dare to plot against Ye Kong!"

The wind became stronger, and Master Suchuan gathered his clothes and took out another quilt from the cabinet.

Ye Kong felt the burning sensation in his palm disappear, and the surroundings became quiet, even the smell was the same. It seemed that he had returned to the cave.

What came into view was the unremarkable boulder, which he had been padding under his buttocks before, and he didn't feel anything special about it.

Now that he suddenly knew it was the Longevity Stone, it was completely different. Ye Kong felt that this stone looked very unusual, and even the uneven ravines were medals proving its existence.

Even now, when he sat on it, he could feel a trace of warmth.

As soon as Ye Kong sat down, a voice came from his ear.

[Is the host ready to break through the fifth level of Nirvana?]

"Of course, I'm already prepared."

Ye Kong was proud of himself.

The blessing of the Longevity Stone made him even more powerful. With just a slight effort, he had already reached the limit of the fifth level of Nirvana.

Ye Kong closed his eyes again, put his hands on the Longevity Stone, and accepted the gift from the Longevity Stone. Ye Kong's path to breakthrough was particularly smooth.

It can also be said that Ye Kong easily broke through the shackles and rushed to the fifth level of Nirvana without much effort, and successfully broke through.

Layer after layer of holy light protected his body. Ye Kong opened his eyes in such an environment. The entire cave was a natural cultivation place built for Ye Kong. With such favorable timing, geographical advantages, and harmonious human relations, breakthrough was a matter of course.

The difference between the fifth level of Nirvana and the fourth level of Nirvana was only a difference in name, and the bonus was not much different. Even the spiritual power, Ye Kong reached out his hand and circled it around, and there was no difference.

"What's going on?" Ye Kong asked.

[System prompt: Host has successfully broken through the fifth level of Nirvana.]

"But I don't feel anything at all?" Ye Kong questioned, "Putting aside other things, since it's a big level, I should be able to clearly perceive the difference."

[Actually, it's not like that. The fifth level of Nirvana is just stepping up a step compared to the fourth level of Nirvana. It's just a handy thing. Therefore, it is impossible to obtain reward functions.]

[But without breaking through the fifth level of Nirvana, you cannot break through the sixth level of Nirvana, so it is still very necessary.]

"Excuses!" Ye Kong didn't listen, "Since it's so simple, then directly let me break through the sixth level of Nirvana!"

[Due to the host's recent frequent breakthroughs, the breakthrough function is temporarily closed. This function will be available after three months.]
