After returning home, Meng Zhou did not immediately start preparing the longevity pill, but returned to regular practice.

He picked up the water escape technique again and started practicing it.

The next day, magic rain was cast on thousands of acres of spiritual fields.

Late at night on September 30th, Meng Zhou escaped from the pond and prepared to return to the quiet room for retreat.

After taking a little inventory in my mind, I was surprised to find that although many adjustments were made to the cultivation plan due to delays, the gains were not great.

The mastery of Shengling Dan can directly advance from a small level to perfection.

With the completion of the Soul Ascension Pill, the Knot Master profession has also improved slightly, from "Second Level 900/1000" to "Second Level 920/1000".

The longevity pill has been developed from scratch and has reached the level of Dacheng.

"The Life Extension Pill Dacheng 700/2000"

In addition, the progress of the Soul Shocking Technique has not been affected at all, with a steady gain of 2240 experience points and a further step towards the master level.

"Master of Soul Shock 7180/16000"

The Myogenic Technique has also been improved due to the proper care of the two mysterious turtles, adding a total of 1500 experience points.

"Master of Myogenic Technique 7700/8000"

The one that really had the biggest impact was the Water Escape Technique, which only gained 2,400 experience points in total, which was more than half less than before.

"Master of water escape 3600/8000"

…

Early morning on the third day of October.

After finishing his practice, Meng Zhou did not leave the seclusion immediately. Instead, he adjusted his breath for a while and confirmed the gains from this practice.

Cultivation progress +70, foundation building level 5 708/1000.

Second level Spring Water Sutra +700, Grandmaster 6300/32000;

Soul Pool Refining Moon Heart +600, Master 12200/16000;

Black Turtle Body Refining Technique +600, Grandmaster 2230/24000.

Everything is business as usual, steadily improving.

After a little adjustment, Meng Zhou turned Yaya into a thin rope, held it in his hand, and quickly knitted it while filling it with portions of the longevity elixir ingredients.

The materials were sent out one by one, and the longevity pills were put into the spirit-sealing box one by one.

At the same time, there is also a rapid increase in experience, an ever-increasing understanding of alchemy, and even the attainments of the rope knot are also rapidly improving.

By the time late at night on the third day of September, Meng Zhou temporarily stopped making the Life-Extension Pill, sat cross-legged in meditation, and restored his spiritual state, the skill of making the Life-Extension Pill, which was originally only at the Dacheng level, had already advanced to the master level.

And among the masters, more than half of the accumulation has been completed.

On the morning of the fourth day of October, when the 266th Life-Extension Pill was picked up by Meng Zhou and placed in the spirit-sealing box, Meng Zhou's mastery of the Life-Extension Pill was successfully promoted from Grandmaster to Perfection.

Because the spiritual transformation of the Life-Extension Pill is more complicated than that of the Spirit-Shengming Pill, and to be more secure, Meng Zhou did not prepare the remaining thirty-four raw materials at once, but divided them into two times.

There were no accidents, and Meng Zhou finally harvested thirty-four second-level life-extending pills of perfect quality.

With these changes, Meng Zhou's attainments in the rope knot have been improved, from "second level 920/1000" to "second level 950/1000".

…

Meng Zhou tidied up a little, then left the quiet room and came to the elegant house.

He first brewed a pot of spiritual tea for himself to relax his mind.

Then he took out a life-extending pill of perfect quality, held it in his hand, played with it, and looked at it carefully.

With the continuous improvement of cultivation and Chun Shui Jing, the upper limit of life continues to increase.

But as the upper limit of life increases, a feeling in my heart becomes stronger and stronger.

It felt like there was an invisible barrier blocking the way.

The higher the life limit, the stronger this feeling is.

"Then let's try it."

With this thought in his mind, Meng Zhou opened his mouth and sucked it gently, and then he swallowed the second-level life-extending pill of perfect quality in his palm.

He sat cross-legged and meditated, feeling the strong yet warm medicinal power spreading through his body and integrating into the origin of life, making it thicker and more active.

After the power of the elixir was completely absorbed by him, Meng Zhou opened his eyes and looked at his personal state.

Other information has not changed, except that the upper limit of life has changed from "506 years" to "546 years", which is an increase of 40 years.

not end yet.

After adjusting his breath for a while, Meng Zhou took out his second second-level longevity pill of perfect quality.

"continue."

The second longevity pill was swallowed by him.

The medicinal power contained in it was completely digested and absorbed by him.

The upper limit of life has been increased by another 35 years. In the life span information, the upper limit of life has been raised from "546 years" to "581 years".

"Closer."

Meng Zhou felt it carefully, and the invisible barrier became clearer and clearer.

Then, Meng Zhou swallowed the third Perfect Quality Life Extension Pill, and he clearly felt the existence of the limit.

There is a feeling that no matter what, I can never move forward.

In the life span information, the upper limit of life has changed from "581 years" to "600 years".

According to the rules of the first two Perfection Life Extension Pills, this Life Extension Pill can add thirty years to his life, which will increase his life limit to "611 years".

But the actual situation is that this improvement stops at the age of 600.

"Is this the maximum lifespan that a foundation-building monk can have?" Meng Zhou thought in his heart.

Meng Zhou was a little shocked when this idea first came to his mind.

But after thinking about it a little more carefully, I feel that this is what should be done.

Foundation-building monks are just newbies on the road. No matter how talented they are, they have their limits.

If it really exceeds this limit, it will not be foundation building, but pill formation, or even a higher level of cultivation.

When he felt the invisible barrier, Meng Zhou gradually accepted this fact in his heart. The only uncertainty was where the limit was.

He wanted to test and verify it, which was an important reason why he spent so much effort to obtain so many longevity elixir materials this time.

Now, the results are out.

"Six hundred years old, exactly ten years old. Does this have any special meaning?"

"Is this limit only for me, or does it apply to all foundation-building monks?"

Such a guess flashed through Meng Zhou's mind, but it could only be a guess because it was difficult for him to verify it.

After taking the elixir this time, in addition to the change in lifespan information, the status information also changed.

[Status: Complete]

This also confirmed his guess about the limit of life span.

"I don't know what will be different if the realm is broken through in the future and the Chun Shui Jing is broken through."

Meng Zhou was curious and couldn't help but have a little expectation.

After the matter was settled and his doubts were answered, Meng Zhou's mentality became peaceful again.

He processed all the newly made longevity pills with the processing technique, and then stored them in different areas in the spirit sealing box according to their quality.

Among them, there are 31 most precious perfect-quality elixirs, 160 master-quality elixirs, 80 master-quality life-extending elixirs, and 73 ordinary-quality second-level life-extending elixirs, for a total of 344.

Not long after he started practicing regularly, Meng Zhou received a message from Kan Yue at noon the next day, which was an invitation to a party tomorrow.

…

The sixth day of October, morning.

In the courtyard of Kanyue.

He smiled at a group of friends who attended the meeting and said, "The exchange meeting is now over, and I can finally take a breather."

While others were communicating, Kan Yue asked Meng Zhou to sit down in a remote corner and asked in a low voice:

"Fellow Daoist Zhuang, I saw that you were not very enthusiastic about this exchange meeting. Except for participating on the first day, I didn't see you in the following days."

Meng Zhou smiled bitterly and said "Frankly": "I also want to participate, but I really can't find what I want."

"What do you need?" Kan Yue asked curiously.

Meng Zhou was slightly startled when he heard this, but he didn't hide it and said:

"To be honest with you Taoist friend Kan, I am not interested in either magic weapons, elixirs, or ordinary cultivation methods.
To be continued...
