Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 100 Foundation Building
After leaving the medicine garden, Ji An flew to the top of the mountain on a gray-feathered sand goose.

Next month is midsummer, and the day for distributing the Foundation Establishment Pill will be soon. He heard that the sect's medicine garden is preparing various medicinal materials for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Once the medicinal materials are prepared, the alchemists will start to refine the foundation-building pills.

It will take another five years to get the foundation-building pill that Ji An exchanged for, but the master is one of the famous alchemists in the sect, and it is unknown whether he has received the task of refining the foundation-building pill.

If the master accepts the task, with her craftsmanship, she will definitely be able to refine more foundation-building pills than the sect requires. He wants to exchange the foundation-building pill from five years later for one from this year.

If Master has not received this kind of task, you can also help to say hello and see if there is a chance to exchange it for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

The earlier you build your foundation one year, the earlier you can enjoy the treatment of a foundation-building cultivator.

Having his own cave and being able to freely control twenty acres of spiritual fields was simply too good to be true for him.

Ji An landed at the entrance of the cave and was just thinking of finding a maid to ask if his master was free today when the magic barrier of the cave automatically opened, revealing the door.

He stepped into the cave and saw his master sitting in a chair sipping tea.

"Greetings, Master," he bowed and told his plan with a smile.

Success depends on heaven, but man proposes. If you can get the foundation-building pill in advance and succeed in building the foundation, you can save at least several years.

Ge Ying did not respond to his request immediately. She put down the teacup and asked:

"It takes quite a while to train your spiritual consciousness and open up branches of your immortal veins. Have you finished it?"

This disciple used to be very concerned about the time to nourish the immortal veins and improve his qualifications, but in the past two years he had not asked her such questions, which surprised her.

“Well, it’s all done.

According to the sect's secret method of opening meridians, I opened up all the branches that can be opened up during the Qi Refining Stage.

In terms of improving my spiritual consciousness, I have been practicing diligently. In addition, my spiritual consciousness is naturally stronger than others, so as long as I can get the foundation-building pill, I will definitely be able to build my foundation."

Ji An said with full confidence that all necessary preparations had been made and building the foundation should be a natural process.

"Since the past two years, I have noticed that your Qi is becoming increasingly smooth. Now it is completely round and unified. It is indeed time for you to build your foundation.

A few years ago, the three main ingredients for the foundation-building pills in my medicine garden happened to be ripe, so I started refining a batch. You can use this exquisite foundation-building pill."

Ge Ying nodded secretly. Compared with Lingyu's hesitation, Ji An seemed full of confidence, which was good.

Laying the foundation is just a small threshold in cultivating immortals, it is not that difficult.

She took out the elixir she had prepared long ago, repeated what she had said to Li Lingyu, and said with a smile:

"As a sword cultivator, Luo Ying will need many high-level spiritual objects to refine his flying sword. However, sword cultivators are not good at business, so it is difficult for them to accumulate any property to buy spiritual objects. He can only look for them on his own.

You are good at planting and making talismans, and you have a stable income. In the future, if you are able, please help her out for the sake of your teacher."

Although she was able to leave some property to this beloved descendant, it would not last long if she lived off the family fortune.

Ji An immediately stood up and said:
"If I can help in any way, I will not put Senior Sister Luo Ying in any difficult position."

He agreed very readily, thinking that his master was really doing his best and had long-term plans for this younger generation.

Ge Ying was very satisfied with his attitude and asked gently:

"When are you going to build your foundation?"

"It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. Let's do it tonight.

Master, are there any special techniques or things to pay attention to when building your foundation?"

"Only after building a foundation can one truly embark on the path to immortality. This requires a heart-wrenching transformation, and the process is not pleasant.

But as long as you hold on to your heart and don't fear the pain, you will eventually emerge from the cocoon and become a butterfly."

Ge Ying had read Ji An's detailed information. He was the first disciple of the same academy to wake up during the sect's Illusionary Heart Formation test.

This shows that one’s state of mind and will are not lacking, and one’s determination to seek the truth is very strong.

Ji An put away the foundation-building pill, stood up and said goodbye:

"I will come back tomorrow to ask Master for advice once I have successfully established my foundation."

"Go ahead, I'll wait for good news."

Back at the bamboo building at the foot of the mountain, Ji An threw a spirit-feeding pill to Sha Yan, and sent the spirit-seeking rat out of the room. The two beasts would have to spend the night outside.

After closing the magic ban, he took out the foundation-building pill and immediately smelled a faint fragrance, which lifted his spirits.

The pill was crystal clear and shiny, with three lines on its surface that looked like a coiled dragon.

Authentic foundation-building pills can increase a cultivator's chance of building a foundation by 20%, while fine-quality pills can increase it by 30%.

Ji An took a bath and changed his clothes, lit a stove of incense, and placed various things he would need, such as the Foundation Establishment Pill, Qingxu Water, and Hundred Flowers Spirit Liquid, within easy reach.

He sat cross-legged on the cushion, calming his mind and adjusting his energy and spirit.

The golden crow sets in the west, the jade rabbit rises, and the moonlight shines through the window lattice, casting silver light on the bamboo building.

Ji An opened his eyes, his glint gleaming like stars. He felt his body and mind had reached peak condition, so he stopped hesitating and began practicing the foundation-building techniques in the Qingyuan Sutra.

The spiritual energy enters the body from the nose, circulates in the immortal veins and is finally refined into magic power, like waves higher than the last, flowing into the dantian.

With the continuous influx of mana, a mana cyclone quickly formed, rotating from slow to fast.

Due to the rapid extraction of spiritual energy from the nearby heaven and earth, spiritual energy from other places converged towards the bamboo building, forming a spiritual energy vortex.

The foundation-building method can quickly draw spiritual energy from heaven and earth, but the large amount of spiritual energy flowing into the body in a short period of time is a huge test for the physical body. This is also the origin of the physical body level among the three levels of foundation-building.

As the spiritual energy of heaven and earth fills the body, the pressure on the immortal meridians is far greater than during normal cultivation. The immortal meridians must be strong enough to withstand the continuous infusion of waves of spiritual energy.

The physical body must withstand the repeated impact of spiritual energy. If the cultivator's body has been seriously injured and the foundation has been damaged, the infusion of spiritual energy into the body will magnify this shortcoming.

In addition, if the cultivator's qi and blood decline, it will be difficult for him to withstand the infusion of spiritual energy for a long time. This is also the reason why it is difficult for elderly cultivators to establish a foundation.

The second stage of foundation building is the stage of magic power.

When a cultivator is building his foundation, he needs to transform the magic power in his dantian from gas to liquid. The purer the cultivator's magic power is, the less resistance he encounters when transforming gas into liquid.

Taking too many elixirs to improve your cultivation level or elixirs that can break through your rank will reduce your magic power, among which taking elixirs that can break through your rank is the most harmful.

Ji An has never taken any elixir that can break through his level. Although he has taken many elixirs to improve his cultivation, he usually focuses on resolving the poison in the elixirs, and his magic power is not complicated.

Later, he spent another two years purifying his magic power. Although the purity of his magic power was not top-notch, it could be considered top-notch.

The third stage of foundation building is the spiritual consciousness stage.

A strong spiritual consciousness can control magic power more subtly, guide and speed up the refining of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and more easily transform magic power into liquid.

The rotation speed of the cyclone in Ji An's Dantian was getting faster and faster, and the gaseous magic mist was getting thicker and thicker, but there was still no sign of it turning into liquid.

This is due to the limitation of qualifications. If the qualifications are not high, the efficiency of refining mana will be slow, and it will be difficult to make the concentration of mana mist reach the minimum standard for liquefaction.

At this time, you need to show off a foundation-building pill.

The Meridian Opening Pill and the Foundation Establishing Pill are the greatest inventions in the world of immortal cultivation. The Meridian Opening Pill allows humans to draw spiritual energy into their bodies earlier, nourishing their immortal meridians and physical bodies, thus giving them more time to break through to the foundation building stage.

The foundation-building pill can, on the one hand, protect the immortal meridians and dantian, and reduce the pressure on the physical body caused by the infusion of spiritual energy; on the other hand, it can improve the efficiency of low-qualified immortal cultivators in absorbing spiritual energy and converting it into magic power.

After Ji An took the foundation-building pill, more spiritual energy poured into his body like a whale sucking in water, and the spiritual energy vortex above the bamboo building suddenly doubled in size.

In the Dantian, the stone turtle floated up and down happily, swallowing half of the magic power that flowed into the Dantian. The magic power mist became thicker, but there was still no sign of liquidation.

Ji An had anticipated this scene. He swallowed a few drops of Hundred Flowers Spirit Liquid, and the magic power flowing into his dantian immediately increased a lot.

Even though half of it was swallowed by the stone turtle, the mana mist became thicker and thicker.

In this way, he swallowed a few drops of the Hundred Flowers Spirit Liquid every once in a while, and his magic power gradually showed signs of turning into liquid.

However, as the time of spiritual energy infusing his body increased, he gradually felt a dull pain in his immortal veins.

The pain quickly expanded, and the spiritual energy flowing through the immortal meridians actually produced a burning sensation. A trace of cool air flowed out of the Yongquan acupoint, and warm air flowed out of the Yuquan acupoint, slightly reducing the burning sensation, but it did not make much difference to his situation.

The pain quickly spread throughout his body. Ji An felt as if a blade was cutting through his muscles. The tearing pain made his body tremble slightly, and beads of sweat began to flow on his forehead and back.

When people suffer, time seems to slow down.

Ji An felt that every second was so torturous. The spiritual energy he inhaled into his body was like charcoal, burning his immortal veins and internal organs.

Fortunately, he was mentally prepared for this. Although every cell in his body screamed and wailed in pain, he endured all kinds of pain and still maintained the operation of the foundation-building method.

People are most afraid of meaningless suffering. If the pain at this moment can contribute to longevity in the future, then the pain can be endured.

Ji An felt his body gradually becoming numb, but his spirit became more and more high-spirited in the painful ordeal.

Before he knew it, the two bottles of Hundred Flowers Spirit Liquid had been used up. He picked up the bottle of Qingxu Water and swallowed a few drops.

The range of the spiritual energy vortex above the bamboo building expanded a little bit, and the speed of the magic energy cyclone in his dantian increased a bit.

A drop of crystal jade liquid was formed and fell down, and the most difficult step was finally taken.

There are two difficulties in everything: from zero to one, and from quantitative change to qualitative change.

As the first drop of jade liquid was formed, traces of dirty blood oozed out of Ji An's pores. This was the blood poison caused by the accumulation of acquired turbid air in the body.

Ji An took a small sip of Qingxu Water and held it in his mouth. When the concentration of the mana mist in his dantian began to decrease, he swallowed some of it.

The second drop of jade liquid was produced, and then the third drop. Gradually, the speed of producing jade liquid became faster and faster.

Ji An regained consciousness of his body, and the pain became less and less.

Finally, the spiritual energy flowing in the immortal veins was directly refined into magic liquid by the magic formula, and the spiritual pressure of the foundation-building period suddenly rose in the room.

The vortex of spiritual energy from heaven and earth that gathered above the bamboo building emitted a glow, and then slowly dissipated.

Ji An opened his eyes and saw the sunlight slanting on the wall. A night had passed.

　A book friend reminded me that the whereabouts of Jie Xiu’s flying boat was not written, so I made a patch and sold it for 220 spirit stones.
