Zhang Cong came from a wealthy mortal family. He was intelligent from a young age and was discovered to have a Spiritual Root at the age of eight. He was recommended to the Qingfeng Sect as an Immortal Seedling.
After more than forty years of Qi Refining, he successfully reached Foundation Establishment.
He had once dreamed of reaching Core Formation, but unfortunately, after cultivating for over thirty years to the Peak of Early-Stage Foundation Establishment, he remained stuck at a bottleneck.
He took several Barrier-Breaking Pills but failed to break through. Gradually, he developed a resistance to the elixir, and its effects became negligible.
If he wanted to rely on the power of Spirit Pills to break through his bottleneck again, he would have to use a higher-tier elixir.
He saved up Spirit Stones for many years and won a Water and Fire Yin Yang Pill at an auction in Zengguang Immortal City, but he still failed in the end.
