(Sorry, I'm busy with work recently, so I've been getting less updated these two days, so I've tried to resume two updates on weekends!)

"Oh." Hearing that Xiao Lin's cultivation level had reached the false pill realm, Wang Ruyan nodded, but there was not much joy. She didn't know how difficult this step was? Throughout history, I don't know how many monks were stuck in this step and could not move forward at all. They took a step to reach the sky, and the vast sky was impossible to cross it. There was only aging, death, and a turbid and dry tomb and wilderness.[]

This step may be next month, maybe one year, maybe three years, ten years, or even a hundred years, or even a little further. No one knows how long it will take. Thinking of this, Wang Ruyan not only smiled bitterly, but although Xiao Lin did not mention when he would leave here, he thought that it must be after the elixir.

"Create a pill?" If this person formed a pill in thirty years, wouldn't he have to wait until thirty years later? Thinking of this, Wang Ruyan not only showed a bitter smile, but the words Xiao Lin said that day escorted him away sounded as ridiculous as a lie.

"Senior Brother Xiao has encountered a bottleneck when he broke through?" Wan Qiushui, who was more thoughtful, seemed to see an abnormality and asked in a timid voice.

Xiao Lin nodded without saying much. He turned his head and looked at a place inside the stone room, as if it were some spiritual herbs planted by Wang Ruyan.

I don’t know where she got the soil and these seeds, and they all survived. Looking at the soil under the spirit grass, Xiao Lin asked casually, "These soil is like mud, and it is about to fall out in his hand. How can they condense into a ball?"

"Senior Brother doesn't know anything." Wan Qiushui smiled, "Senior Sister Wang failed to refine the alchemy a few days ago. She thought it was a demon pill to refine the pills, and the chance of success was still too small, so she wanted to try to add some herbs to it when refining the pill. The combination of the two might increase the chance of success."

"So, I picked some herbs and soil back. The soil was indeed like a ball of dilute mud, and it could not condense together at all, and the spirit grass could not grow. However, I added some ground rock particles to it, and these stone particles would absorb the moisture in the soil and eventually become part of the soil, and the soil became dry and hard and could be condensed."

"Add the stone grain..." These plain words were nothing at first, but Xiao Lin sounded a different taste at this moment.

"Yes, it is impossible to dry and condense together by relying on mud alone. Even if you keep adding mud, it will only add fuel to the fire and will be useless. Even if you keep squeezing, it will be useless, because once the pressure is lost, it will return to its original state."

"What!" Hearing this, Xiao Lin's mind was suddenly shocked. He grabbed Wan Qiushui's hand and looked excited, "What did you say just now, say it again!"

"I..." Wan Qiushui suddenly became nervous and began to stutter, "I said, rely on me to stick to myself...even if you keep squeezing... Once the pressure disappears, it will return to its original state..."

"The pressure disappears and returns to its original state!" Xiao Lin grabbed this sentence tightly and muttered repeatedly. This situation was exactly the same as when he condensed the golden elixir. He had tried countless times. Wan Qiushui said the "forced squeeze" behavior, but just as Wan Qiushui said, once this squeeze force disappeared, the golden elixir that had finally condensed would suddenly dissipate and turn into liquid spiritual energy again.

"Stone grains...sinking the stone grains..." Xiao Lin immediately thought of another sentence. If mud is like liquid spiritual energy, then what is this stone grain?

It seemed that Xiao Lin's mind suddenly had a sudden light of inspiration, but it came without a trace. He could not catch it at all. Just when he was worried, he suddenly bit the word "invest" and found clues.

"Invest..." Xiao Lin thought again, "The investment means to invest from outside to the mud, so the thing that is to be invested from outside must not be the thing that is to be clay itself, but the thing that is outside!"

Xiao Lin's eyes suddenly shone with brilliance, "If the stone grains are foreign objects, then for me, it is an external force!" Xiao Lin murmured to himself, "I have always wanted to use my own strength to solidify the spiritual energy and condense the golden elixir, but I didn't expect to use external force to help myself!"

"Hahaha!" Xiao Lin suddenly laughed in the stone chamber, "Since my own power cannot be solidified, then I will find a 'stone grain' and put it in it. It is natural and successful!" Xiao Lin took a deep breath, turned around, and walked towards Wanqiushui.

Wan Qiushui looked nervous and had a pale face. I wondered if Xiao Lin had a mistake in his cultivation, and his mind was suddenly stimulated, and he was crazy, or if he suddenly changed his temperament in this Wuyoutian Island, and wanted to do something shameless to himself.

Thinking of the latter, not only did she look paler, her lips slightly bit, and her body tightly retreated to the base of the wall. Just as she was about to say something, Xiao Lin suddenly grabbed her hand again and smiled at her, "Thank you!"

After saying that, he rushed out and left the cave. His figure turned into a ray of residual light and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Wan Qiushui looked dull and had a lot of thoughts in her mind. She looked at the hands that were held by Xiao Lin, and there was a strange feeling in her heart. Before she knew it, it was a kind of thought that she had never had before.

If she was suddenly attacked when she was held for the first time and had no reaction, then in the moment just now, she was so close to Xiao Lin's face, especially the cold smile at the end, which made her mind suddenly sway.

Her face suddenly turned red for no reason.

Wang Ruyan, who was beside him, suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart when she saw Wan Qiushui's appearance, as if her mind was a little empty and very strange.

Only the pointed-mouthed monk on the side felt very difficult to understand Xiao Lin's behavior. When he saw Xiao Lin go out, he not only prayed in his heart, "Ancestor, you are really my ancestor. Please be safe and sound. Even if you die, you have to endure until you come out of the cave to die..."

Xiao Lin's figure shook, and he used his full strength to fly towards one place. After understanding the reason why he could not condense, his heart suddenly felt like he was clearing away the clouds and fog. This time, he was fully sure that he could solidify the spiritual energy.

Three days later, he arrived outside the Beast Valley of that day, and drove toward the Fourteenth Valley.

When he arrived at the entrance of the Fourteenth Valley, he took a deep breath and stepped into it resolutely.
