Chapter 109 Foundation Building
The three sisters of the Zhao family lived in the other courtyard for three days, and returned home with the elders of the Emei Sect. Li Yu and Zhou Zixuan also began to stay behind closed doors, spending all their time compressing their mana and preparing for foundation building.

Practice has no time, half a year is fleeting.

In the past six months, the world of cultivating immortals has been quite peaceful, and nothing major has happened.

It is nothing more than Tiandaozong recruiting a few more talented disciples, exterminating a small evil sect with a lot of bad marks, discovering a secret realm rich in resources, and blocking all entrances, not allowing people from other sects to enter, Those who have already entered are also forcibly driven out...

These are the routine operations of Tiandaozong, and those who are familiar with the situation in the world of cultivating immortals will not find it so novel.

Inside the Kunlun Cave, a few things happened, which caused a short-term heated discussion.

First of all, a certain patriarch of the late Nascent Soul found a pair of twins with outstanding talents during a trip. Although the talents of the two were not as good as Junior Sister Jiang of Tianlingmai, they were better than some core disciples. It is much higher. It can be said that the talent is second only to Tianlingmai. If there is no accident, the future achievements will be at least Nascent Soul.

The patriarch of the late Yuanying period accepted them as his own disciples. In the past six months, he applied for a lot of resources from the sect, and piled them up from two ordinary people to the foundation-building stage. No small amount of fame.

This naturally aroused the envy of countless disciples. For the cultivation of these geniuses, not only the sects provided pills, the bottleneck from refining Qi to foundation establishment, but also the ancestors in the Nascent Soul stage spent a lot of mana to help them break through. In half a year, they exceeded The vast majority of disciples have spent decades of hard work.

The second thing is about the talented girl of Cuiwei Peak. In the last Alchemy Apprentice Competition, because of Li Yu's appearance, Junior Sister Zheng of Cuiwei Peak only won the third place.

A year later, Junior Sister Zheng easily won the championship with a furnace of nine top-grade pills, and won the first-rank alchemist competition four months later. She copied Li Yu's legend from last year and once won the championship in Kunlun The alchemy peaks caused quite a stir.

This kind of talent, even in Kunlun, where alchemy masters are born in large numbers, is rare in history.

After winning the first-rank alchemy master competition, in just half a month, she successfully established her foundation, passed the second-rank alchemist assessment, and was promoted to a second-rank alchemist at the age of 16.

There is no doubt that the Kunlun alchemy lineage, which belongs to her era, has come.

She and Li Yu are known as Kunlun's "Twin Stars of Alchemy and Dao".

This name has even been passed down to the Outer Sect, and like the Seven Sons of Kunlun, it is widely known by all sects.

One of the twin stars of Alchemy and Taoism has been in the limelight in Kunlun for the past six months, but Li Yu, who would spark heated discussions in the sect every few days, has not heard from him for half a year before he knew it. .

Only at the end of the month and the beginning of the month, his figure would appear in Lingyun Peak and Tianzhu Peak, and every ten days and a half months, the disciples of Yuzhu Peak would also see him, and for the rest of the time, he never left his home. The other courtyard did not do anything that attracted much attention.

However, although Li Yu has disappeared from Kunlun, there are still legends about him.

Five months ago, several Kunlun disciples who went out to do missions encountered a powerful snow wolf king when they were hunting a group of snow wolves, and were almost wiped out by the wolf group led by the snow wolf king. A disciple of the Soul Refining Sect suddenly appeared.

Those Kunlun disciples originally thought that even if they were not eaten by monsters, they would die at the hands of the disciples of the Soul Refining Sect. Their souls would be hard to escape and they would become their spirit ghosts.

But those disciples of the Soul Refining Sect not only did not take advantage of the danger, but also extended a helping hand to them, helped them kill the wolf pack, and after taking away the wolf soul, they even left them the snow wolf's fur and spiritual blood.

Kunlun and Soul Refining Sect, one righteous and one demon, have different positions. When the disciples of the two sects meet outside, although they will not kill each other as soon as they meet, they will definitely not be so friendly.

This incident aroused quite a heated discussion in Kunlun at that time.

Later they discovered that it wasn't just the Soul Refining Sect who were friendly.

Three months ago, when a Kunlun disciple was collecting an elixir in a certain secret place, he met a disciple of the Hehuan Sect.

According to the past practice, the disciples of the two factions will definitely fight, and the outcome of the fight will determine the ownership of the elixir.

I thought that the two would have a fierce fight because of this elixir, but the Hehuan Sect disciple was very polite to the Kunlun disciple. Not only did he join forces with him to repel a monster guarding the elixir, but he also generously sent the The elixir was given to him.

At the same time, several Kunlun disciples discovered a small star iron ore in a secret cave, and reported it to the sect. They would have been rewarded, but the star iron ore they discovered was brutally occupied by several disciples of Tiandaozong. , violently drive them away...

Some new disciples who have just started, don’t know much about the forces in the world of cultivating immortals. They once thought that Tiandaozong was a demonic sect, and Soul Refining Sect and Hehuan Sect were righteous brother sects. Although their names didn’t sound very nice, but For the Kunlun disciples, it really takes care of them like a door...

It was only later that the Kunlun disciples gradually found out that the reason why the disciples of the two factions took care of them was because of Li Yu.

When he was in Qiandu Cave, he was kind to the Tianjiao of the Devil Dao. He once specially asked the Tianjiao of the two factions to take care of them when they met Kunlun disciples outside.

Many Kunlun disciples were extremely moved when they heard about this.

For someone like Senior Brother Li, who always thinks about the Kunlun disciples, there are still people who suspect that he has an affair with the devil. Do they really have no conscience?
Ziyun Peak, No. 69 courtyard.

Li Yu hasn't shown his face in public for half a year. Every month, he goes to Lingyun Peak to collect elixirs to collect inferior elixir, to Tianzhu Peak to pay Zijin, and to Jade Everest to see Jiang Li. See Xu Yi and Tian Qi.

Most of the time, he spent on practice.

His hard work was not in vain, just now, he finally compressed the mana of the five spiritual veins into ten acupuncture points.

Foundation Establishment Pill randomly selects spiritual veins, so he has no way to choose a certain spiritual vein to build the foundation first, he can only compress the mana in all the spiritual veins to the extreme, and then build the foundation at the same time.

The mana of 72 acupoints will become extremely thick after being compressed to ten acupoints, and it will be more difficult to compress again, and it will take longer. Generally, at this level, it is necessary to use the foundation pill.

Li Yu sat cross-legged in the quiet room, a white pill emerged in his hand.

On the pill, two pill patterns are looming.

This is a middle-grade foundation building pill. The foundation building pill is a third-grade elixir, and it is more difficult to refine it. Even a third-grade alchemist can hardly refine a top-grade one.

However, the middle-grade Foundation Establishment Pill is enough. After all, most immortal cultivators will only take one or a few Foundation Establishment Pills in their lifetime. The erysipelas accumulated in the body is not much, and it can be refined in a little time.

Li Yu held this middle-grade Foundation Establishment Pill in his hand, and after a while, his forehead was slightly sweaty, and he stretched out his palm again, and the pill patterns on the pill had turned into three lines.

The potion improves the quality of the first level, and the possibility of breaking the boundary is also greater.

Without hesitating for long, Li Yu put this Foundation Establishment Pill into his mouth.

After the elixir was imported, it turned into a powerful flow of spiritual power and hit a spiritual vein in his body. This foundation establishment pill chose the fire spiritual vein. Li Yu's body shook, only feeling that the spiritual power Under the collision, the mana in his fire spirit vein was compressed all the way, and soon broke through ten acupuncture points.

Nine, eight, seven...

Although the process of forcibly compressing the spiritual power was somewhat painful, it was within the tolerable range.

In the end, after the mana of the Huo Lingmai was compressed to three acupuncture points, the flow of spiritual power slowly dissipated.

Obviously, the first Foundation Establishment Pill did not allow him to successfully establish a foundation.

But Li Yu didn't panic at all. In the past six months, he had saved more than 20 Foundation Establishment Pills, and it didn't matter if a few were wasted.

He took out another Foundation Establishment Pill, purified it, and continued to try.

This Foundation Establishment Pill selects the water spirit veins, and still has not succeeded in establishing a foundation once. All the mana has been compressed into four acupuncture points.

Li Yu's luck was not good. For the next three foundation building pills, the other three spiritual veins were chosen fairly. None of the spiritual veins succeeded in establishing the foundation. Except for the fire spiritual vein, the mana power of the other four spiritual veins was all taken away. Compressed into four acupuncture points.

He used to rely mainly on pills to improve his cultivation, and compared with those disciples, he couldn't see the difference in talent.

But at the time of foundation establishment, the gap is very obvious. For those disciples with little talent, one foundation establishment pill can successfully establish a foundation, while his talent needs two. For those who are worse than his talent, two may Neither is enough.

Fortunately, he has a lot of money, so if he can't get five Foundation Establishment Pills, he can only get ten.

Li Yu took out another Foundation Establishment Pill and put it into his mouth after purification. This Foundation Establishment Pill chose the Shui Lingmai, which can compress all the mana into the four acupuncture points just now. When this Foundation Establishment Pill enters, then Dao Lingli flow easily compressed all the mana into one acupuncture point.

At this time, the gaseous mana in the spiritual vein was finally compressed into a drop of liquid.

Even if the flow of spiritual power disappeared, this drop of liquid mana did not turn into a gaseous state again, but produced a kind of suction, and the spiritual energy around Li Yu, attracted by it, began to slowly converge towards his body.

This way of absorption was too slow, Li Yu directly took a second-order return qi pill, the pill entered, and instantly turned into spiritual power, rushing to the water spirit vein.

After a while, Li Yu felt a liquid thread running through the water and spirit veins, and Li Yu was surprised. Is this the magic power of the foundation building period?

Judging from the energy fluctuations, the mana in the early stage of foundation establishment seems to be only five times thicker than at the peak of Qi Refining, but the degree of condensed mana is not the same.

This liquid filament, which seems to be only as thick as a hair, contains extremely huge energy.

Li Yu shot a water arrow with his fingers, and the wall of his room was directly pierced by the water arrow. The water arrow blasted outside, and even the protective formation of the other courtyard fluctuated violently.

Li Yu was amazed at this scene. An ordinary small spell, the power of the foundation-building stage and the energy-refinement stage are simply vastly different.

He took out four Foundation Establishment Pills again, purified them, and took them one by one.

With the first Foundation Establishment Pill as a base, the second Foundation Establishment Pill went very smoothly. After taking these four Foundation Establishment Pills, the mana of the five spiritual veins in Li Yu's body were all transformed into a thin liquid thread .

Five spiritual veins, all of which were established.

At this time, almost two years have passed since he succeeded in entraining qi, and it has been four years since he embarked on the road of cultivating immortality.

After the foundation was established, Li Yu obviously had a feeling that compared with when he was refining Qi, his lifespan had greatly increased. This is the intuition of the immortal cultivator, it cannot be described, but it really exists.

After the foundation of the five spirit veins was established, Li Yu turned his attention to the second vein of Ren Du.

In the past six months, besides compressing his mana, Li Yu was also trying to compress his true energy.

The speed at which he compressed the true energy was not slow. With the help of the magic power of the five spirit veins, he compressed it to fifteen acupoints in half a year. Unfortunately, the foundation building pill was useless to Ren Du's two veins. He had to complete the martial arts foundation building by himself.

After the foundations of all five spiritual veins were established, the fused mana also experienced a qualitative change. Li Yu tried to use it to compress the true energy in Ren Du's two veins, but as he expected, the fused mana compressed the true energy. , all the way was overwhelming, Li Yu didn't work hard, all the true energy was compressed into an acupuncture point, and transformed into a drop of liquid...

The feeling he felt when he opened up Ren Du's second meridian reappeared. After the true qi liquefied, he suddenly became very hungry. The drop of liquid was swallowing all the energy in his body.

At the same time, a lot of black matter was deposited on Li Yu's body again.

Fortunately, Li Yu's elixir was sufficient. A bottle of Peiyuan elixir entered the abdomen, and after being transformed into energy, it was absorbed by Ren Du's two meridians, and finally transformed into a trace of liquid zhenqi, which filled the entire meridian.

The middle finger and index finger of Li Yu's right hand were raised together, and an invisible energy came out through the fingers, and the hard jade bed was pierced by the energy as if it were made of tofu.

The release of true energy is a sign of foundation building in martial arts.

And once the true qi can be separated from the body, it can easily take the head of a person ten feet away. Compared with the immortal cultivator, the disadvantage of martial arts at the low level will no longer exist.

Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief. After the foundation was established, he had only officially taken the first step in his long journey of cultivation.

He walked out of the room, and a white shadow that was playing in the courtyard flew into Li Yu's arms. I don't know if it was because of his practice. In the past two years, Linger hasn't grown very much. A bigger white cat.

But if you really regard it as a big cat and think it is easy to bully, you will be very wrong.

In the past six months, Li Yu has collected a few jade spirit fruits from Xu Yi and Tian Qi every month, and refined a lot of pills for Tongmai. Feed it until the qi refining is complete.

Now it has all 81 acupoints of the spiritual veins in its body opened up, and it is trying to compress the mana according to Li Yu's guidance, and the foundation building is just a matter of these few months.

Don't look at it looking cute and cute, the peak of qi refining who usually cultivates a single spiritual meridian is not Ling'er's opponent.

Zhou Zixuan stood in the yard watering the flowers. The flowers, plants and trees in the garden grew more luxuriantly, and seemed to have infinite vitality. This was also because her wood spirit veins had already established the foundation.

Zhou Zixuan established the foundation a few days earlier than Li Yu.

It's not that her talent is better than Li Yu's, but that Li Yu has too many foundation building pills, which save her the time of compressing mana. After practicing to the peak of Qi refining, it is not necessary to compress mana by herself. Directly with the aid of Jidan.

It's just that if you compress it to a certain level first, one or two Foundation Establishment Pills will be able to establish the foundation.

If you want to save time, you need to spend more foundation building pills, maybe five or six can't stop it, even those disciples of the Yuanying Patriarch, there is no way to be so extravagant, like Li Yu who cultivates the five spirit veins , more foundation building pills are needed.

Zhou Zixuan is different, she only has a single spiritual vein, Li Yu has the capital to make her extravagant, in half a year, she compressed her mana to the level of thirty acupuncture points, Li Yu used four foundation building pills, and let her successfully build base.

So her foundation building time was a few days earlier than Li Yu's.

Looking back on the past few years of practice, the most correct thing Li Yu did was to follow Senior Sister Xu's advice and become an alchemist.

If you have the opportunity, you must repay her well.

After a while, Li Yu walked out of the other courtyard. Several old people were still playing cards at the door. Ziyun Peak seemed to be the same as it was half a year ago, but their aura was more vicissitudes and decay than half a year ago. It seemed that half a year had passed , but half a century.

In the few years when Shouyuan is approaching, the bodies of immortal cultivators will quickly decay. This is also a normal situation. The current appearance of the few people is better than that of Elder Sun back then, but it is not much better. years.

Lao He raised his sagging face, glanced at Li Yu, his cloudy eyes moved, and asked, "Foundation established?"

Li Yu nodded and said, "The foundation was just established."

The actions of the few old people who established the foundation were stunned. When they looked at Li Yu, they were not only envious, but also deeply complicated.

They saw the shadow of themselves in Li Yu's body.

200 years ago, they were also so high-spirited and high-spirited, everyone had the dream of Jindan in their hearts, just like Li Yu now, but in a blink of an eye, 200 years have passed...

After leaving Purple Cloud Peak, Li Yu went to a mountain where Faxiu disciples lived.

That's Chen Ming's residence.

Both he and Zhou Zixuan have successfully established the foundation, and there are more than a dozen foundation-building pills left. Ling'er can't use so many, and the extra ones are useless to Li Yu. He naturally thought of his friend back then.

Chen Ming's talent was not very good in the first place, so naturally the sooner the foundation was built, the better.

Li Yu doesn't have many friends, and Chen Ming is one of them. Although the two of them had some unhappiness, they have experienced life and death together. What's more, that guy promised to make him a prince and choose a concubine for him. , it is worth two Foundation Establishment Pills.

When he came to Chen Ming's residence, Li Yu knocked on the door, but there was no answer for a long time. He thought that Chen Ming was out to refine purple gold, but the courtyard next door opened with a "squeak", and a disciple came out and asked: "Are you looking for Chen Ming?"

Li Yu nodded and asked, "Is he not at home?"

The disciple shook his head and said, "He hasn't lived here for a long time."

Li Yu froze for a moment, then asked, "Has he moved?"

The disciple showed envy on his face, and said: "I moved, I moved more than three months ago, I really don't know what's so good about this guy, but he was actually taken by a third-rank alchemist and accepted him as a Taoist companion!" , and gave him the Foundation Establishment Dan to let him establish the foundation, damn, how can I not compare to him, this world is so fucking unreasonable, I am so mad..."

When the disciple mentioned Chen Ming, he was obviously very angry and closed the door cursingly. Li Yu walked a long way and heard him scolding in the yard.

Li Yu could feel the sourness from dozens of meters away.

However, should I say it or not, that disciple is really inferior to Chen Ming. Although Chen Ming's appearance is not as good as him, he is still considered Zhou Zheng, and he can even be said to be a little handsome. After all, he is a secular royal family, and his parents' genes are similar Where to go, otherwise the elder of the Foundation Establishment Period would not have taken a fancy to him.

Especially when he came to Kunlun, after suffering enough to practice, he was no longer cynical, and had a decadent temperament. This type is still very attractive to middle-aged and elderly women.

But he was able to get close to a third-rank alchemist, which was beyond Li Yu's expectations.

A third-rank alchemist can refine Tuomaidan. Even if you give Chen Ming one a year, he will be able to cultivate to the peak of Foundation Establishment within 50 years. The foundation is completed, and there are more than 200 years of life left. You can form a golden pill with your eyes closed, and fulfill the long-cherished wish of Elder Sun...

Although his talent is not good, he has always been practicing the life motto that Elder Sun taught him back then.

There are quite a few gold alchemists in the sect, but there are not many third-rank alchemists, and even fewer female alchemists. Li Yu easily found out the new address of Chen Ming.

When he saw Chen Ming again, Li Yu found that he had indeed established his foundation. Not only had he successfully established his foundation, but his mana was also stronger than that of an immortal cultivator who had just established his foundation, at least five times.

It seems that the third-rank alchemist treated him very well.

Li Yu smiled at him, and said, "Congratulations to the foundation, I wanted to give you two foundation pills, but I didn't expect you to be one step ahead of me..."

The two chatted about the old days, and Li Yu couldn't help asking curiously: "You boy, how did you do it?"

Chen Ming lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "The royal family of the Chen Kingdom has a book of secret art in the room...you know it."

Li Yu raised his eyebrows: "Speaking in detail..."

After a while, Li Yu and Chen Ming bid farewell.

When he left, he left behind a bottle of Tier [-] Baoyuan Pill and took away a book of Secret Art.

Afterwards, Li Yu came to Mount Yuzhu.

Now that he came to Mount Yuzhu, it was no different from going home. The disciples guarding the peak had long since notified, and Li Yu could walk through the halls of Mount Yuzhu at will. When he came to Jiang Li's residence, Xu Qingxin was talking to Jiang Li. Chatting, saw Li Yu coming in, left silently, stood at the entrance of the hall, and habitually let the two of them relax.

In the past six months, Li Yu successfully established the foundation, and Jiang Li also successfully formed the alchemy.

Her Shui Lingmai is Tianlingmai, and there was no bottleneck before the golden elixir. With the help of Xuanzhen Patriarch, she did not take the Breaking Realm Pill, and the water lingmai formed a pill first, and entered the golden elixir stage.

The other four spiritual veins are still some distance away from the peak of Foundation Establishment. After all, the monthly share of Tuomaidan is too small. Even if she is the Heavenly Spiritual Vein, if they are all given to her, the other Nascent Soul Patriarchs of the Zongmen will not agree. .

Senior Sister Xu was at the side, and the two of them were just holding hands. After Jiang Li formed the alchemy, Patriarch Xuanzhen no longer restricted her freedom. Li Yu patted her on the head and said, "Go, let's go out and take you to eat something delicious. Piaoxiang Pavilion has added a few new dishes..."

When passing by Xu Qingxin, Li Yu said, "Senior Sister Xu, come along too, oh, let's go, why are you being polite..."
