Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 141 Foundation Building
Half a year later, in a cave in Jingyangfang City.

Lu Zhong sat cross-legged on the futon motionless, a small porcelain vase in front of him was already empty.

Just now, he took the second Foundation Establishment Pill.

The Foundation Establishment Pill contains a large amount of pure spiritual energy, and has a strong catalytic effect. Once it is taken, it will start to work immediately, like a raging furnace. change.

The strands of gaseous spiritual energy gathered into Xingxuan are rapidly collapsing towards the center.Quickly running the method of gathering elements, the speed of the collapse of spiritual power increased a lot.

During this process, Lu Zhong felt the familiar deep-seated pain.

After all, the process of building a foundation is also a process of rebirth and cleansing the I Ching.

In ancient times, foundation building was the beginning of immortality, which represented a monk who had achieved initial success in cultivation and officially embarked on the path of pursuing the path of longevity.

Therefore, the monks who established the foundation will be called "true cultivators".

Time passed by every minute and every second, affected by the power of the foundation pill, the collapse process of Dantian Xingxuan was still going on, and the level of spiritual power at the center was constantly increasing.

Lu Zhong has been gritting his teeth and persisting.

Continuously running the four spiritual skills, absorbing spiritual energy from the outside world, refining it into spiritual power and tempering the meridians, making them wider and tougher, so as to meet the basic requirements for containing liquid true essence.

During this process, part of the medicinal power of the Foundation Establishment Pill was diverted to help him protect his meridians.

The collapse continues.

Finally, the first drop of liquid true essence finally appeared!
Lu Zhong became energetic for a while, and immediately endured the severe pain on his body, and manipulated the drop of true essence.

The last time he tried to build a foundation, he failed in this step. The reason was that in the previous step of washing the essence and cutting the marrow, he had consumed too much energy, so that he couldn't even control the true essence in his body.

As if playing with a greedy snake, the liquid essence kept stretching, devouring all the gaseous spiritual energy encountered along the way, and he himself gradually became bigger and bigger from a small droplet at the beginning.

In the end, a pool of "small puddles" formed.

The pain in his body immediately receded like a tide.

Then, it was replaced by an indescribable ultimate comfort.

The whole body, as if soaked in amniotic fluid, returns to the happy time of life.

At this time, Lu Zhong was pleasantly surprised to find that the strength of his spiritual consciousness was increasing rapidly. From the initial range of ten feet, it quickly rose to the hundred feet that a monk should have in the early stage of foundation establishment, and finally rose to one hundred and twenty feet.

Before he had time to rejoice, he immediately looked inside his dantian with his spiritual sense.

He suddenly discovered that all the spiritual power in the dantian had been transformed into liquid viscous real essence.

True Yuan can also be called mana, and it is another proof of embarking on the immortal path.

"Unexpectedly, I succeeded in building the foundation!" Lu Zhong muttered to himself.

He casually pinched a breath-watching technique, and he found that he could see the world more clearly, and even the dust particles in the air could be captured clearly. Objects that seemed to have no aura before could be found to be faintly glowing after careful observation. Light, this also explains why the foundation-building monks can easily see through the breath-holding technique of the Qi-refining monks.

This is determined by the difference in strength levels.

"and also……"

Lv Zhong held his hand, and immediately a airflow cover formed on his body surface.

Flipping his hands to sacrifice the Golden Devouring Sword, he unhesitatingly activated the "Armor Piercing" magical power, stabbing towards the cover of his body.

With a clang, the Golden Biting Sword was directly bounced away.

If you look carefully, you can find that the so-called mask is actually formed by streams of airflow, which can deflect and deflect the attack.

"This...is this the method of stellar qi that only a true foundation builder can do?" Lu Zhong was secretly pleased.

Try the Shining Golden Sword again, this time is no exception, the attack is also deflected.

He finally knew why the monks in the qi refining period would be powerless to fight back in front of the foundation building true cultivator, and this qi was probably one of the reasons.

As long as the external attack does not break through the upper limit, the stellar qi will not be broken and defeated, and it can be maintained until the true energy in the body of the foundation establishment is exhausted, and it will have a great advantage in the face of the monks in the qi refining period.

In addition, the divine consciousness within a range of hundreds of feet, and the true energy that is several levels higher than the spiritual power.

The combination of the three created the fact that the foundation building true cultivator crushed the Qi refining monks.

Overjoyed in his heart, Lu Zhongcai restrained his mind.

In his mind, he recalled the "Heling Flying Star Sutra" inherited by Feixing. Since he had successfully established the foundation, he started to practice directly from the chapter on foundation establishment.

There are nine levels of this skill in the foundation building chapter, which just corresponds to the early, middle and late stages of foundation building.

Every small realm has a secret technique to practice.

They are Xingyang Gang, Star Pulling Art, and Star Explosion Art.

Xingyanggang is a method of collecting energy to refine astral, which can transform the originally non-attributed astral energy into star-yang aura, which has a stronger defensive effect than ordinary aura, and also has the characteristics of a long mana aura of flying stars. Qi recovery speed is also very fast.

The star-stretching technique that can be practiced in the middle stage of foundation establishment is a secret technique of inheritance.

Once this technique is used, it can be used to attract the stars, whether it is to attract the opponent or to increase one's speed suddenly, it is a very good practical use.

As for the star explosion, it is a secret attack technique.

By casting the spell for a long time, the true essence of the whole body can be gathered at one point, and then a terrifying and unparalleled power can be erupted, comparable to the power of a single strike of a golden elixir.

Lu Zhong looked at the following two secret arts, naturally he was extremely greedy.

Unfortunately, you can see but not eat.

Throwing away the distracting thoughts in his mind, he began to practice the Heling Flying Star Sutra. The process took less than an hour, and all the true energy in his body was completely transformed into the flying star mana.

In this regard, Lu Zhong still felt a little pity.

After all, the spiritual power of the Four Spiritual Skills has the characteristic of "purification", which is very suitable for the cultivation of four spirit root monks. If there is no follow-up to this exercise, then he will definitely not choose to switch to practice, but will continue to practice.

……

More than half a year has passed.

Lu Zhong finally stabilized his cultivation.

Opening his eyes in the quiet room, he stood up from the futon, glanced at the bottles and cans on the ground, gathered them together casually, and then gently rolled them with Gang Qi.

In an instant, it was ground into powder.

The strength of the spiritual consciousness of the establishment of the foundation is enough for them to use this to interfere with reality.

Just like now, with just a slight push of Lu Zhong's spiritual sense, the door of the room opened directly.

Immediately afterwards, a cloud of dust like a dragon blasted out, hovered in the courtyard for a while, and landed in the flowerbed full of bright flowers, and swept away a figure that was unable to dodge beside it.

"Ah!" Li Hejun screamed and was dragged into the quiet room.

At sunset and dusk, the two came out from inside.

Li Hejun, whose face was still flushed, looked at the younger Lu Zhong, his expression startled slightly, and then he smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations to the success of the master's foundation, I am really very happy in my body and mind!"

Lu Zhong's five senses at this time are far more sensitive than before, so he naturally noticed her abnormality.

That's right, after I broke through the foundation establishment, my lifespan doubled in an instant.

As long as you don't lose your vitality too much, you can live for at least two hundred years.

As for Li Hejun, she is just an ordinary person.

Lu Zhong didn't think about it deeply. After all, everyone has his own destiny, and there is no way to deal with such a number of days.

"Come on, let's go have a good meal."

After retreating for so long, he was so hungry that he wished he could go to the restaurant, order a table full of spiritual food, and feast on it. Anyway, there are [-] spiritual stones in the bag.

Coming to the streets of Jingyangfang City, the annual big auction is about to start again, so now there are more people, including monks like Lu Zhong who are accompanied by beautiful women.

While walking and watching, the two had a great time shopping.

Soon, I came to a riverside planted with willow trees.

"The spring breeze and the south bank of the green river..." Lu Zhong was touched by the scene and could not help but read an ancient poem from his previous life.

Mr. Li He next to him didn't understand what he meant, and said doubtfully, "This is obviously Jiangbei..."

After hearing this, Lu Zhong just smiled slightly.

Without explaining at all, after all, this is a hidden secret in his heart. Suddenly, his eyes moved forward, pointing to a food boat moored by the river and said: "Zhen Food Boat, let's go there to eat."

When I came to the dining boat, there was a waiter waiting at the door, and I saw Lu Zhong approaching.

He looked carefully at first, then smiled and said: "Senior, please come to the private room inside, today a batch of good ingredients happened to arrive on the boat, I hope you will enjoy it after eating!"

It was the first time for Lu Zhong to hear that someone called him senior, and he felt secretly refreshed.

So he nodded and said, "Lead the way ahead."

Walking through the well-decorated lobby, he felt more at ease when he felt the surprised and revered eyes of the Qi-refining monks in the hall, after all, he was like this before.

It's so cool to be in a different place now.

"Refrain from impetuosity and impetuosity! Be cautious in your words and deeds!" Lu Zhong quickly performed the Bing Xin formula to calm himself down.

It's enough to have a good time, there is no need to indulge in it.

The achievement of foundation building is just the beginning of the road to immortality, and there is still a more rough and bumpy road to go. From the division of talismans into nine grades, we can know that there are at least seven great realms to cross in the future.

After the formation of the alchemy, there is the formation of the baby, and after the Nascent Soul stage, there is the stage of transformation...

It is said that at the stage of transforming into a god, one will ascend to leave this world and enter the legendary spirit world.

"Will I have such a day?" Lu Zhong was not sure.

Soon came to the private room to sit down, and the waiter began to proficiently report the names of the dishes.

Lu Zhong ordered eighteen dishes that the two of them liked to eat, then he hugged Li Hejun, teased him from time to time, and looked at the scenery outside.

I just waited for a while, but no dish came.

A little angry in his heart, he called the waiter and asked: "What's the matter, after ordering for so long, not even one dish was served, could it be that you are just taking it for fun?"

While speaking, he deliberately let out a trace of breath.

The guy trembled suddenly, because he was too frightened to speak.

"Retire first." A mellow voice came from outside the private room, but it was an elegant middle-aged man wearing a Chinese dress and with three long beards.

The clerk, Rumeng Amnesty, hastily bowed and backed out.

The elegant middle-aged man waited for the buddy to leave, and then cupped his hands apologetically and said, "I am the owner of this place, Tan Shihe, and I must first apologize to fellow daoists. Something happened to the back kitchen just now, which happened to affect the ingredients used in the dishes of fellow daoists. , so it’s not our intention to tease Fellow Daoist.”

"How about this, fellow daoist can change eighteen dishes at will, and at the same time, Zhenshifang will waive all expenses as an apology for this accident."

"Fellow Daoist, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhong couldn't help but glance at Tan Shihe in surprise.

The other party's apology is indeed a bit exaggerated.

Not only did he let himself change dishes at will, but he also generously saved nearly four-figure Lingshi.

You know, based on his previous understanding in Helingzong, if ordinary foundation-building monks don't have a good way to make money, then the spirit stones they can earn in a year are basically around a thousand spirit stones.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhong cupped his hands with a half-smile and said: "Tan Daoyou, if you have other matters, you might as well talk about it directly, so as not to save Lu from having a bad meal!"

"Hahaha! Let fellow daoist see through!" Tan Shihe stroked his beard and laughed loudly, then cupped his hands again and said: "In this case, then I will speak directly. Dare to ask fellow daoist Lu if you have a plan for the future? If you don't mind, you might as well join My Tan family, how about being a guest servant?"

It turned out to be recruiting me.

Lu Zhong knew what Keqing was, after all, he had also worked in Wanfa Pavilion before.

Family guest ministers are slightly different from this. They usually take on the responsibilities assigned by the master. They are somewhat similar to sect deacons.

Basically, the main family just borrowed the name of the monk who established the foundation to suppress the place.

In return, the main family will provide certain benefits, or guarantee the supply of cultivation resources, or agree in advance on conditions that both parties are satisfied with, or even directly give a large sum of spirit stones.

Lu Zhong thought for a while, and decided not to hit the smiling person with his hand, and decided to listen to the other party's conditions.

Before that, it is necessary to show your worth.

"I was born in the Heling Sect, and I am also a talisman maker. I have mastered the method of making golden light talismans. I don't know what conditions Tan Daoyou can offer. If you want to try your luck, I advise you not to open your mouth."

After Tan Shihe listened, he glanced at Lu Zhong in surprise.

He thought that the person in front of him was just a casual cultivator who had just established a foundation, but he never thought that he was a former sect cultivator, and he was also very good at making talismans.

The golden light talisman is best-selling in the cultivation world, and with the strength of a foundation-builder cultivator, it is not a problem at all to earn more than a thousand spirit stones a month.

Recalling the confession made by his clan brother before going out, Tan Shihe suddenly became aware of it.

"The Tan family is willing to invite Lu Daoyou to serve as guest minister for five years at the cost of imparting flying talismans!"

"Oh?" After hearing this, Lu Zhong's face was calm, but his heart suddenly felt turbulent.

You must know the method of making the second-order talisman, which is not something you can buy casually with cabbage on the street.

Wanting to be like the first-order talisman, asking someone to teach it or buying a talisman-making book is all wishful thinking.

For this kind of background, no matter it is the sect or the family, the attitude is firm and unified, so it is not easy to spread it to the outside world.

His previous thought, after arriving in Lingyue Immortal City, was just to earn spirit stones by making golden light talismans.

But now, the flying talisman is in front of him.

Suddenly, Lu Zhong was in trouble.

Once this opportunity is missed, it will almost never come back.

After pondering for a while, he still forced himself to calm down, and decided to ask questions before speaking, so as not to suffer a big loss if he didn't know clearly, and even lost his life because of greed.

"I don't know what kind of responsibilities I need to perform as Tan Jiakeqing?"

The other party is so eager, maybe there is something important.

Like this, it usually involves fighting skills, and it may be life-threatening.
