Chapter 93 Powerful spirit and reactions from all parties!
A few more days passed, and it seemed like just a moment.
Xiao Changqing suddenly woke up from a mysterious state, opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashed, and the spiritual pressure unique to the foundation-building period on his body spread in all directions.
It seemed to be the aura coming from a higher being. The two sisters of the Lin family, who had been guarding outside the training room for more than half a month, suddenly felt a tremendous sense of oppression. Their hearts trembled, and they almost couldn't help but kneel down because their legs went weak.
"This is……"
The two sisters looked at each other, and saw each other's guess from each other's eyes.
Such a powerful aura is definitely not something a cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm can possess!
The Lord, has he really succeeded in building his foundation?!
At this time, a hearty laughter was heard from the practice room.
"After traveling through time for more than ten years, this body is now forty-eight years old and has finally established its foundation!"
Xiao Changqing felt extremely happy and heroic.
After being careful, prudent and low-key in Nanshanfang for so many years, I finally got the reward!
Having laid the foundation for the great way, he has finally escaped from the lowest ranks in the world of immortal cultivation and is truly separated from ordinary people.
From now on, the world of immortal cultivation is so big that you can travel around.
Unlike when he was in the Qi Refining Stage before, he was full of fear of the outside world, unwilling to set foot in unknown areas, and extremely unconfident in his own strength.
Every cultivator at the foundation-building stage can be called a "giant" when he arrives at any immortal cultivation market in the immortal cultivation world of Dayu.
Even in a large immortal city, a foundation-building cultivator can barely be considered a top figure, at least he is not someone who can be bullied easily.
In all the first-rate Jindan sects, foundation-building cultivators can also serve as elders.
What's more, Xiao Changqing is far from being an ordinary cultivator in the early stage of foundation building.
Although he had just broken through the Foundation Establishment Stage, Xiao Changqing's gains were much greater than those of ordinary cultivators because of his earth spiritual roots!
The magic power in the body will become more viscous and purer!
Perhaps it would take an average cultivator seven to eight years, or even more than ten years of hard practice after building his foundation, before he could have the refined magic power he has now.
Moreover, he did not take the foundation-building pill, but relied entirely on his own to break through. Xiao Changqing could feel that his "foundation" would be more solid than that of the cultivators who took the foundation-building pill to break through!
Things like foundation are mysterious and may not be clearly demonstrated by strength.
But in the process of future cultivation, you will often feel it.
For example, the cultivators in Nanshanfang before had six major foundation-building stages, but before Cao Hao, all of them were in the initial stage of foundation-building.
Including several elderly cultivators who had been building their foundation for decades, none of them had ever broken through to the middle stage of foundation building!
The reason is that they had difficulty breaking through the foundation-building stage, and after taking the foundation-building pill, they had to go through untold hardships and barely made it through. Their foundation was too weak, so breaking through this small level of the middle stage of foundation-building was extremely difficult for them.
And if Xiao Changqing wants to break through to the middle stage of foundation building in the future, the bottleneck will be very small, almost non-existent.
All it takes is patience and a slow accumulation of time, and eventually, a breakthrough will come naturally.
As for the increase in the soul, it also exceeded Xiao Changqing's expectations.
Without the bonus of the Dragon Prison Bracelet, the range of his soul had already reached a full forty-two feet. After being doubled by the Dragon Prison Bracelet's skill, it reached eighty-four feet!
This is something that only cultivators at the Jindan stage can achieve!
This is because the soul of a cultivator in the early stage of Jindan is only about a hundred feet long!
Xiao Changqing couldn't confirm it yet, but he predicted that if he used the Dragon Roar Technique now, most of the cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage would definitely not be able to withstand it!
Enough to threaten a Jindan Zhenren!
"His lifespan should be more than two hundred years!"
Xiao Changqing sensed the condition of his physical body.
It may be because of the earth's spiritual roots, or it may be because he did not take the foundation-building pill. The benefits of breaking through the foundation are not limited to magic power and spiritual awareness. Xiao Changqing's lifespan also exceeds that of ordinary foundation-building cultivators.
He could clearly sense that if he took good care of himself and did not suffer serious trauma to his essence, he would have no problem living over two hundred years old.
Generally speaking, the maximum limit for a cultivator to build a foundation is only one hundred and eighty years.
"No, it could also be because of the Changsheng Gong."
Xiao Changqing pondered in his mind.
Although the Changsheng Gong is the most widely spread basic martial art in the world of immortal cultivation, it can also be occasionally seen in the mortal world.
Xiao Changqing was able to embark on the path to immortality as a mortal prince because he found the immortal cultivation technique Changsheng Gong.
I don't know why this technique has become so popular.
But to be honest, this martial art is really not bad. It has no shortcomings in terms of mana, training speed, entry difficulty, and upper limit.
Moreover, the name “Changsheng” is not just a beautiful fantasy about the path to immortality, but this method is very real and will help to increase lifespan when breaking through to a higher realm!
Xiao Changqing didn't know about other places.
But in the immortal cultivation world of Dayu, according to records, it is estimated that three out of ten cultivators who practice the art of longevity are like this!
Not only individual cultivators, but even some immortal cultivation families and sects have disciples who choose to practice the art of longevity.
After a brief moment of joy, Xiao Changqing organized his thoughts and adapted to the differences after building his foundation. With a thought, he immediately retracted the spiritual pressure and powerful consciousness belonging to the foundation-building stage, so that the two Lin sisters outside the door no longer felt pressured.
"Zi Yu, Zi Xi, you can go and do your own things." Xiao Changqing smiled and transmitted the message.
The Lin sisters had already guessed the result.
But Lin Ziyu couldn't help but asked with a trembling voice: "Master, have you... have you completed the breakthrough?"
Xiao Changqing replied, "Of course. If anyone comes to visit me during this period, I will not see them. I will be in seclusion for a while to consolidate my cultivation." The two sisters burst into tears of joy and hugged each other.
In addition to being genuinely happy for Xiao Changqing, since their master has become a foundation-building cultivator, they, the sisters, as concubines, will naturally benefit greatly and have a more secure future.
Feeling the excitement of the sisters outside, Xiao Changqing smiled slightly.
Where is this?
For many Qi-refining practitioners, building a foundation is the ultimate goal. If they can build a foundation for a lifetime without regrets, they will be content.
But for Xiao Changqing.
Laying the foundation is just a threshold!
Once you cross this threshold, you will truly enjoy the vast ocean for fish to leap and the sky for birds to fly!
Not to mention further, just looking at what is in front of you, you can equip yourself with the 'Immortality Stone Fragment'!
The two major skills of the Immortality Stone fragment had made him covet them for a long time and he was very excited.
"Let me see how magical 'body transformation' and 'nightmare technique' are!"
He collected his thoughts and called up the inventory. The fragment of the Longevity Stone wrapped in the Evil-Removing Talisman and the Mind-Calming Talisman also appeared in his hand.
"equipment!"
Xiao Changqing growled.
……
……
"Auspicious clouds are covering the sky. Has Master Xiao Fu really succeeded in building his foundation?"
Ruan Qingzhu, who was in Cave No. 1 B, was gazing at the strange sight of heaven and earth above Cave No. 1 in the distance, and he felt extremely envious.
Not long ago, Master Xiao Fu had asked her and Master Zhu Dan how to buy foundation-building pills. He thought that since Taohuafang had suddenly been invaded by evil cultivators, Master Xiao Fu would have no hope of building a foundation in a short period of time and could only wait like him.
Who knew that the breakthrough would happen so quickly.
At this time, her son Ruan Bufan ran over excitedly and asked, "Mother, the auspicious clouds appeared. Does this mean that Master Xiao Fu has successfully entered the Foundation Establishment Stage?"
Ruan Qingzhu nodded and said, "It succeeded. Another foundation-building master was born in Nanshanfang."
Ruan Bufan clapped his hands vigorously and said excitedly: "Master Xiao Fu is worthy of being the number one in Nanshanfang and a role model for countless cultivators! He is the second person in Dayu's immortal cultivation world in more than 400 years to have established a foundation with low-grade spiritual roots! It's really amazing!"
Ruan Qingzhu looked at her son with amusement. He usually made her worry and always liked to go against her. But it was the first time she saw him admire someone so much.
"Master Xiao Fu saved your life, but you just need to remember the favor. You don't have to be closer to Master Xiao Fu than to me, right? If I also have the hope of building a foundation in the future, I don't think you will be as excited as you are today." Ruan Qingzhu said.
Ruan Bufan's face turned cold again when he heard this, and he muttered, "Do you still have the energy to build a foundation now?"
He was very annoyed with the alchemist Zhu Youlong who was relentless in pursuing his mother. He thought that the other party was a toad wanting to eat swan flesh, without even considering how old he was and how much time he had left to live.
If it was Master Xiao Fu who pursued his mother, he would not be so disgusted, and might even be happy to see it.
He always felt that his mother was dragged down because she was a promising disciple in Baihua Valley, but she was demoted and lost her future because of him.
He wanted his mother to remember his identity and not to look down on herself, such as by falling for an old man like Zhu Youlong.
If his mother could be with a second-level talisman master like Xiao Fushi, a foundation-building cultivator, and someone who could kill late-second-level evil spirits, her status would not drop. Instead, Baihua Valley would look at his mother with new eyes and try to win her over again.
But he didn't know how to express what was in his heart. He just kept losing his temper and opposing, so the relationship between mother and son became increasingly strained.
……
Zhu Youlong naturally didn't know about the conversation between Ruan Qingzhu and her son, and he didn't know what Ruan Bufan was thinking or how he viewed him.
He was also in his own cave courtyard, watching from afar the auspicious clouds and auspicious signs after Xiao Changqing established his foundation, thinking, "How extraordinary is this Master Xiao Fu? Or is he the son of luck? He really got the foundation-building pill and successfully established his foundation with a low-grade spiritual root? Should I tell him the secret? Perhaps, he is the best candidate I can find! Even better than the Patriarch of the Cao family!"
Master Zhu Dan comes from Liyang Fairy City and has his own secrets.
Otherwise, with his status as a first-class top-grade alchemist, although he cannot be considered very noble in Liyang Fairy City, at least he is not at the bottom of the society, and he can still live a comfortable life. There is no need for him to go to a small place like Nanshanfang to suffer.
……
Cao family
"The foundation has been successfully established."
Although Cao Hao knew that Xiao Changqing had taken the most difficult step in foundation building when he saw the spiritual energy vortex a few days ago, there was a high probability that he would succeed.
Seeing it with my own eyes now, I still can't help but sigh.
It is extremely rare to establish a foundation with inferior spiritual roots.
In a sense, this is more difficult than forming a pill!
"Perhaps we should find a way to find out what Xiao Changqing is capable of."
"At least, don't catch me off guard like Mu Renjie did back then."
Cao Hao thought to himself.
He didn't take Xiao Changqing, who was in the Qi Refining Stage, seriously, but it was different after he established his foundation.
He always felt uneasy because he didn't know how strong Xiao Changqing was.
