What a scam. It was such a scam. Feng Jun had been in seclusion for a full three days, yet he still had not broken through to the Qi Refining Fourth Layer.
For a time, he had thought he had already crossed the threshold of the Qi Refining Fourth Layer and only needed one more step to break through the door.
But when he actually tried, what threshold? He had not even touched the doorknob. He had merely seen the door.
In other words, the Qi Refining Fourth Layer truly deserved to be called Mid Qi Refining. Breaking from the initial stage into the middle stage required an extremely deep foundation.
Feng Jun had still underestimated just how much he needed to accumulate.
But that was normal. After stepping onto the path of cultivation, this was his first time advancing a minor realm. He had no relevant experience. He should not make this kind of mistake again in the future.
Moreover, because of the restrictions of the Primordial Chaos Heaven-Swallowing Art, he had not dared to accumulate energy recklessly at the Third Layer Qi Refining—what if he accidentally advanced? That had also left him at a disadvantage during this breakthrough.

He had used twenty-seven Spirit Stones in Condensation. Although every one of them had already been more than half used, each of those Spirit Stones was roughly equivalent to seven or eight standard Spirit Stones.
Feng Jun had spent three days assaulting the bottleneck, and the twenty-seven Spirit Stones had been almost completely drained. The one with the least spiritual energy left was nearly empty.
He had no choice but to temporarily stop cultivating
