After resting for the entire night, Tang Lichuan had fully recovered his energy. Facing a bottleneck that was about to break through the Qi Nurturing stage, Tang Lichuan did not dare be careless one bit.

In the dark training room, Tang Lichuan sat cross-legged with more than a hundred stalks of spirit herbs he had gathered from the Myriad Herbs Forest as well as three rosewood boxes he had gotten from members of the Liu Family.

The resources for the breakthrough were all prepared, but Tang Lichuan did not immediately use the Spirit Grasses and Spirit Pills. Instead, he flipped through a thin booklet a few times, stopping to think over it carefully from time to time.

Tang Lichuan had never experienced martial arts before, even if he cultivated to the Qi Nurturing Stage, he would still be able to pass by rocks by simply relying on his strong willpower.

Without the guidance of a master, Tang Lichuan's path of martial arts had been filled with grievances. Now that he had to use the Spirit Grasses and Spirit Pills that only the martial cultivator had the right to take, he naturally had to be cautious.

Moreover, breaking through the bottleneck was no small matter. If there was even the slightest mistake, there would be an irreparable backlash.

The small booklet that Tang Lichuan was holding in his hand was the basic knowledge manual that Profound Dragon Sect had specifically given to newbies. The booklet was originally in the hands of the new manager, Zhao Xiong.

The things recorded in the booklet could not be considered profound and profound, but to Tang Lichuan who knew nothing about the way of martial arts, it was already very useful.

"Breaking through the bottleneck of the Qi Cultivating Stage doesn't seem to be that difficult. Even the book only has the words' spiritual qi into the body, water into the body 'in it. There doesn't seem to be anything special I need to pay attention to." Tang Lichuan recited the information that he had flipped through tens of times in his mind once again. Only then did he slowly close the booklet and prepare for a breakthrough.

Since Profound Dragon Sect had opened a mountain to accept disciples, it would definitely not use its fake knowledge to deceive them. Since Profound Dragon Sect had opened a mountain to accept disciples, it would definitely not use its fake knowledge to deceive them.

Using Spirit Opening Pills to break through bottlenecks is a waste. Spirit Grass and Spirit Pill are naturally cheaper than each other, and spirit herbs are easier to obtain for me to obtain, but Spirit Pill is hard to say, since breaking through bottlenecks only requires the spirit energy in my body to reach a certain level, why would I waste a Spirit Pill?

Tang Lichuan held his chin and thought, he did not plan to use the three Spirit Opening Pills.

He extended his hand, and grabbed onto a green and glistening Spirit Grass, and immediately, a gust of refreshing wood energy assaulted his senses, and before Tang Lichuan could even absorb, he felt that the Spirit Qi contained within the Spirit Grass was much denser than the Spirit Qi that existed in the surrounding air.

"According to the records in the booklet, you only need to place the Spirit Grass in your hand and absorb the inner force directly. This is the easiest way to absorb the Qi, but directly absorbing the Qi will be a waste compared to refining a pill."

Tang Lichuan smiled and shook his head, it didn't matter if he wasted it, he had a lot of spirit herbs, but no matter how much he wasted it, it should be enough for him to breakthrough the bottleneck!

Thinking to here, Tang Lichuan placed his palms on his legs. In his overlapping hands was a stalk of spirit grass that was filled with spirit energy.

Suddenly, Tang Lichuan's brows twitched, and his mouth made a light "yea" sound.

Before he could use his Qi to absorb the spiritual herbs, he felt a warm current flowing through his meridians into his body. This warm current was the spiritual energy that the spiritual herbs in his palm contained.

The heat flowed into the body, but it was uncontrollable. Furthermore, the movement trajectory was not recorded in the booklet as it rushed towards the Dantian. After gathering at the Dantian, it transformed from a gaseous state into a semi-liquid state.

The trajectory of this heat wave was actually the exact same as the orthodox method of breaking through. It was heading straight for his sky spirit!

Tang Lichuan was secretly shocked for a few seconds, but after calming down, he realized that the thing that was automatically absorbing the Spirit Grass' Spirit Qi was the mysterious water droplet in his mind!

Without Tang Lichuan's control, the Spirit Grass's Spirit Qi was automatically absorbed by the mysterious water droplet, and in the blink of an eye, all that was left in his hand was a pile of burnt ashes, which was the Spirit Grass' impurities!

The mysterious water droplet absorbed spirit energy of its own accord, and could even differentiate between impurities and spirit energy. The speed and purity of the absorption was much more precise than Tang Lichuan himself, so logically, Tang Lichuan should be happy, but Tang Lichuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The reason was because a large portion of the Spirit Grass' spirit energy had been absorbed by the mysterious water drop, leaving Tang Lichuan with almost no spirit energy at all. It was as if the mysterious water drop had first enjoyed a delicacy, and then mercifully rewarded Tang Lichuan with some leftover food.

The tiny bit of spiritual energy that was left behind was like charity. It couldn't even reach his Dantian through his meridians, and disappeared into his limbs and bones like smoke being blown away by the wind.

When the Spirit Grass entered his stomach, Tang Lichuan's Dantian's Qi did not increase at all!

Regarding this, Tang Lichuan could not be angry. After all, the mysterious water droplet could absorb spirit energy by itself, which was a good thing for Tang Lichuan.

He had never known how to repair the mysterious water droplet, but now that the mysterious water droplet had taken the initiative, absorbing spiritual energy must be beneficial to the water droplet itself.

Even the spirit energy from a mere spirit grass could not tell whether or not it had any healing effects on the mysterious water droplet, it was unable to verify his guess, and Tang Lichuan felt helpless.

Judging that the mysterious water droplet's actions were beneficial to him, he was no longer worried, but the greed of the water droplet gave him a headache. It was good enough to absorb 50% of the spiritual energy, but the mysterious water droplet actually took more than 90% of it.

It had absorbed almost all the spirit energy, how could Tang Lichuan make a breakthrough? No matter how easy it was to break through a bottleneck of the Qi Nurturing stage, it required the enhancement of spiritual energy.

"Since the mysterious water droplets are able to absorb the impurities in the spiritual herbs quickly and precisely, then I won't have to worry about anything else. The spiritual energy that enters my body is all pure energy, so why don't I compete with him in terms of spiritual energy?"

Tang Lichuan thought for a while and relaxed his worry. Judging from the state of the first Spirit Grass was being absorbed, the absorption rate of the mysterious water droplet was extremely fast, and the spirit grass was quickly finished absorbing. He might not be able to snatch too much spirit energy from the mouth of the mysterious water droplet.

Right now, he had about a hundred or so spirit grasses in his hand. Rather than being completely absorbed by the mysterious water droplets one by one, it was better to grab them in his hand one by one. This way, he would be able to absorb a lot of spirit energy into his meridian, even if the mysterious water droplets were absorbed very quickly, he would still have enough time to snatch a small amount from the mysterious water droplets' mouth.

With his mind set, Tang Lichuan did not count carefully. Both of his hands grabbed onto a handful of Spirit Grass, and sure enough, without using his Spirit Grass, the mysterious water droplets started to absorb the Spirit Grass in his hands.

Tang Lichuan felt two huge warm currents flow through his blood vessels and into his head. The mysterious water droplet, on the other hand, did not reject it, as though it was a bottomless pit.

This time, Tang Lichuan, who was prepared, was caught off guard by its absorption speed. In the time it took for lightning to shine, the spirit grass in his hands had already turned into a pile of black ash, and when the last bit of spirit energy entered his palm, Tang Lichuan finally reacted and fought over the "food" with the mysterious water droplet.

Tang Lichuan, who had only snatched a little bit of spirit energy from the tail, had a wry smile on his face. Looking at the mysterious blue drop of water in his mind, he muttered to himself, "Why do you think you're like a reincarnated hungry ghost, just don't leave me some!"
