Chapter 91 Foundation Building!
"You bastard! You bastard!"
"It's too much to bully others! It's really too much to bully others!"
The Cao family's supreme elder is over 150 years old. Even considering the maximum lifespan of 180 years in the Foundation Establishment stage, it is already an extremely old age and his death is not far away.
In a place like Nanshanfang, his strength and seniority are considered top-notch. He is used to being respected and no one disobeys him.
Even though Cao Hao, the rising star of the Cao family, was stronger than him, he still needed to seek his opinion on many things.
Now, he was being mocked and ridiculed by a junior who was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, which was almost like pointing at his nose and scolding him!
One can imagine the anger inside the Cao family's supreme elder.
Seeing Cao Hao coming back, he angrily said: "Master, why did you agree to this Xiao Changqing? Who does he think he is? I don't believe that even if we get rid of him, Luoxia Sect will do anything to our Cao family. It is our Cao family that is guarding Nanshanfang now! Not Luoxia Sect, let alone Lingfu Pavilion!"
"Grand Elder, calm down." Cao Hao sighed and said, "Xiao Changqing is not a big deal. But let's be fair, can the guards of our Nanshanfang be separated from his second-level talisman?"
The Cao family's Grand Elder was furious: "Then capture this boy, lock him up, and use him as a puppet of the talisman master. Make him draw talismans every day, otherwise he will die! I want to see how tough he is. Does he dare not draw? He is just a second-level talisman master. He will not live for more than 120 years. Does he really think he is a foundation-building cultivator?"
After saying this, he himself felt that this method was not feasible.
So he sneered and said, "When the war is about to end, he will have a hard time! By then, it won't be surprising if some evil cultivators who have escaped the net enter Nanshanfang and kill some people, right?"
Cao Hao understood what his supreme elder meant.
This is all a matter for the future, so don’t think too far ahead now.
Their mission is to resist the evil cultivators and keep Nanshanfang safe.
……
……
Three days later.
A cave.
In the training room, Xiao Changqing had already instructed the Lin sisters not to go anywhere during this period of time and to help him protect the law in the cave.
At the same time, Xiao Changqing gave Lin Ziyu more than a dozen second-level talismans, both offensive and defensive.
Not long ago, Lin Ziyu's cultivation had broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining. With the magic power of the late Qi Refining period, he could cast second-order attack talismans with ease, so there would be no problem.
As for Lin Zixi, whose cultivation level was still at the sixth level of Qi Refining, Xiao Changqing gave her mainly second-order defensive talismans, while the offensive talismans were first-order top-grade ones.
With these two sisters helping him to protect him, even if there are villains during his breakthrough, he will be able to deal with them.
and.
It takes a long time to break through the Foundation Establishment Stage, perhaps ten days or half a month.
But the final stage that causes the strange phenomena in heaven and earth will not last too long.
"almost."
Xiao Changqing felt that his energy and spirit had reached its peak, and his mood changed from the initial excitement, nervousness, and slight uneasiness to calmness. He no longer thought about the future and only focused on the present.
"Build the foundation of the great way and leave your name in the world of immortal cultivation, starting today!"
As the thought came to his mind, the vast magic power in Xiao Changqing's body began to roll and move, like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, rushing towards the bottleneck that trapped him.
boom!
The invisible force of shock spread throughout his body. As the magic power became more and more active, Xiao Changqing's body began to change. His whole body began to feel numb and his skin began to get hot, as if it was burned by fire. His blood also began to surge along with the magic power.
Laying the foundation is not just a breakthrough in magic power and soul.
First of all, the physical body must also undergo some changes!
After all, after breaking through the Foundation Establishment Stage, one's lifespan will directly increase by sixty years, and all aspects of the body will naturally evolve, and the strength, aging speed, and so on will all increase.
If Xiao Changqing's knowledge from his previous life is used to explain it, then it is a leap at the genetic level of life, even the cells will change!
"So sad……"
Xiao Changqing felt the pain.
The flushing of qi and blood may just cause numbing on the surface at first, just like taking a hot bath at a relatively high temperature. But as time goes by, a day and a night have passed unknowingly, and it penetrates into the meridians and even the bone marrow, and you will feel like being roasted on a fire.
At this time, most cultivators with ordinary spiritual roots, medium-grade spiritual roots, and high-grade spiritual roots will choose to take foundation-building pills to alleviate the side effects and pain brought about by the breakthrough.
This is why foundation building must be completed before the age of sixty.
Because people over the age of 60 have a declining body function, it is difficult to complete the transformation even through the first stage of physical cleansing.
Xiao Changqing's foundation-building pill was placed next to him, and he could take it anytime he wanted.
But Xiao Changqing closed his eyes tightly, and although his face showed pain, he gritted his teeth and persisted, with no intention of taking the Foundation Establishment Pill.
buzz~
Xiao Changqing's powerful magic power far exceeds that of ordinary cultivators. It wraps his whole body. During this painful burning process, it is like streams of cold water are slowly flowing through him, which makes him feel more calm and prevents him from going astray.
Two more days passed.
At a certain moment, Xiao Changqing suddenly felt his body relaxed, as if he had transcended the mundane world and had become pure after being cleansed. Xiao Changqing knew that he had successfully passed the first stage of his foundation building without taking the foundation building pill.
Although he was not a body-refining cultivator, he felt that his physical strength had increased a lot at this moment.
Although cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage have magical powers, if they do not have special body-refining techniques, their bodies will not be much different from those of ordinary mortals.
Even if a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage is careless and has no defensive robe to protect him, a sneak attack by a martial arts master from the mortal world, even with an ordinary iron sword, can take his life.
But it is different for cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Even if they do not practice physical training specifically, their physical strength is enough to block ordinary mundane swords and knives.
There is no indulgence in the pleasure of physical cleansing.
Next comes the most important step in building the foundation, the transformation of magic power!
This is also the level that has blocked countless Qi Refining cultivators.
Even cultivators with superior spiritual roots basically have to take foundation-building pills to break through.
Because this step requires compressing one's own gaseous mana into liquid mana, which undergoes a qualitative change!
I don’t know how many times it needs to be concentrated.
This is also the most essential difference between cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage and cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage.
The improvement in the essence of magic power can easily overwhelm the Qi Refining Realm cultivators in terms of casting spells and controlling magical instruments.
Any cultivator who has completed the foundation-building stage will know how big the difference is between the foundation-building stage and the Qi-refining stage.
Laying the foundation is the foundation of building the great way. Only when one truly enters the stage of laying the foundation can one be said to have embarked on the path of cultivating immortals. From then on, one will be able to remain an immortal forever, and be completely distinguished from ordinary people.
Looking at the Foundation Establishment Pill quietly placed next to him, Xiao Changqing did not reach out to take it. He closed his eyes and continued to break through.
The transformation of magic power is the most difficult for other cultivators, but for him, whose magic power foundation is extremely strong and has been compressed to the extreme and is only one step away from liquefaction, it is not that difficult.
This is the benefit of earth spiritual roots.
If he could go one step further and become the legendary heavenly spiritual root, Xiao Changqing suspected that breaking through the foundation-building stage might be just like an ordinary cultivator breaking through the late stage of Qi refining. There was no such thing as a threshold. With just a casual retreat, the magic power would naturally transform.
hum!
Like a whale sucking in water, the spiritual power in the training room was stirred wildly and rushed towards Xiao Changqing. At this moment, Xiao Changqing's body seemed to have turned into a bottomless pit that could accommodate any amount of spiritual power.
Even the two sisters who were guarding outside could clearly sense that the spiritual energy around them had become thinner and was being siphoned away.
At this time, the importance of the cave is revealed.
If one wants to build a foundation in Nanshanfang, one must break through in a Cave A or a Cave B that ranks high.
The spiritual vein level of the cave at the back is not high enough, and there is not enough spiritual energy required for breakthrough!
"Does it take so much spiritual energy to break through the foundation?"
Lin Zixi looked towards the training room nervously.
It is a wartime state now. The spiritual energy level of Jiayi Cave has been slightly lowered, but it is still above the second level, close to the middle level of the second level. Now that the master has made a breakthrough, he actually feels that the spiritual energy is still not enough!
"It will definitely succeed!"
Lin Ziyu nodded firmly, seemingly very sure, but her hands were clenched so tightly that the veins were almost showing, and her tense cheeks and bitten lips betrayed her.
How can you not worry?
No matter how gifted the lord is, no matter how amazing his achievements are, he still only has low-grade spiritual roots. How difficult is it to build a foundation?
Fortunately, the eldest daughter of the Mu family sent them the Foundation Establishment Pill, otherwise the two of them would be even more nervous.
……
The violent spiritual power of heaven and earth rushed into his body frantically, and the raging impact made it a little difficult for him to control. However, with the restraint of his own powerful magic power, he gradually held on and adapted.
If one has a mid-grade or high-grade spiritual root, and his own magic power is not pure and strong enough, he will most likely lose control at this moment and need the help of the power of the foundation-building pill. Otherwise, under such a violent impact, his spiritual veins will be damaged at best, his cultivation will regress, and at worst he will lose his life.
"It seems that I don't need the Foundation Establishment Pill at all!"
The situation is much better than Xiao Changqing expected!
Not only is his magic power pure and strong, but his soul power is also the strongest! With the bonus of the Dragon Prison Bracelet's consciousness, his current soul strength is comparable to that of a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building.
Not to mention the cultivators with earth spiritual roots, even the cultivators with heaven spiritual roots are not half as good as Xiao Changqing in the Qi Refining Stage!
Although spiritual consciousness cannot replace the effectiveness of magic power, it can help Xiao Changqing use magic power better and make breakthroughs more efficient.
And so time passed slowly.
Before I knew it, it was the fifth day.
Suddenly, Xiao Changqing became alert. He saw that when the powerful magic power gathered in his dantian, it was in the form of mist, but at this moment, it began to turn into drops of "rain" and began to fall.
Like spring breeze and rain!
One drop, two drops, three drops...
After a short while, a vortex of spiritual energy formed above Xiao Changqing's dantian, and a steady stream of magic power gathered here and began to transform.
As a result, Xiao Changqing absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth even faster.
At this point, the foundation-building process is almost complete, and the most difficult hurdle has been successfully overcome.
