Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 76 Foundation Building Celebration
Five days later, at the beginning of the Si hour, Ji An's talisman bird landed near the weapon refining hall on Chitong Mountain.

Then he walked around the building and climbed up the mountain path.

The Equipment Refining Hall is a public area, and the caves of all the Foundation Establishment cultivators are located at the spiritual vein nodes on the mountain.

The area above the mountainside has been sealed off by a ban, and entry is impossible without a token.

Halfway through the journey, he saw Chu He, Zhao Mengyao, and a familiar-looking female disciple waiting by the roadside.

Ji An was stunned for a few seconds, recalling that this female disciple also came from Qingsong Taoist Academy, but entered the sect three years earlier than him. She was a descendant of a family in the fairy city near Qingsong Taoist Academy.

He hurried forward and greeted everyone: "Brothers and sisters, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Yue Rong looked at Ji An secretly for a few times, vaguely remembering that he was a rather dull disciple in the Taoist academy. Her vague impression of him meant that he was a casual cultivator with no background.

He wondered what abilities the other party had that made Zhang Yuanshan invite him to the celebration. You know, those invited to this occasion were all people recognized by Zhang Yuanshan or had connections with him.

Chu He laughed and said, "Haha, everyone is here, let's go in."

He took out a token and activated it with a spell, and a golden light of communication escaped into the mountain.

A quarter of an hour later, a ray of fire cloud flew out from inside, and the figure of Zhang Yuanshan, who was in the foundation-building stage, fell from the sky with his spiritual pressure.

"My fellow Taoists, I've been waiting for you."

Zhang Yuanshan was wearing an ink-black Taoist robe, and the two golden lines on his cuffs sparkled in the sunlight.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang."

The four of them bowed and saluted. Calling him "master uncle" at this time would seem awkward and would lower one's generation.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, congratulations on establishing your foundation. This is my gift."

Zhao Mengyao took out a gift box, and Ji An and the other two also took out gifts. He gave a piece of red blood copper ore.

The other party is a weapon refiner, so the ore must be useful.

"Haha, thank you fellow Taoists.

Zhang is just one step ahead. The path to immortality is long. From now on, we will walk hand in hand and never be alone on this path."

Zhang Yuanshan took out a white jade flying boat about an inch long. After he pinched his fingers and performed some magic formula, the flying boat grew against the wind and instantly grew to two meters long.

"Everyone, please get on the flying boat!"

The flying boat carried everyone and entered the forbidden area.

Ji An immediately felt the pure and rich spiritual energy, which was many times stronger than that in his residence. His mind sank into the stone turtle and he took note of how much spiritual energy he currently had.

[Spiritual Motives: Kan Spirit 120.6, Kun Spirit 664.8, Xun Spirit 389.7, Zhen Spirit 6.6]

Soon, the flying boat landed halfway up a mountain. This was the cave chosen by Zhang Yuanshan.

The cave has a large area, with a small lake, garden and medicinal fields outside, and a guest hall, purification room, animal-taming room, weapon-refining room, etc. inside.

At this time, more than ten monks gathered in the spacious guest hall.

Seeing Zhang Yuanshan personally welcoming the four Qi Refining disciples in, everyone looked at them with curiosity.

The moment he entered, Ji An felt his consciousness tremble suddenly. Inside the cave, there were seven or eight cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Even if these Foundation Establishment cultivators did not deliberately exude their aura, the invisible pressure from so many eyes converging on them was enough to make them breathless.

Zhang Yuanshan led them to a table in the corner and said with a smile:

"My fellow Daoists, please don't be so formal. Enjoy your meal and drinks. I'm going to leave you for now. Those coming over there are my senior brothers and sisters."

Chu He suppressed the slightly shaken mind in his heart and smiled slightly:

"Fellow Daoist, go and get busy."

He knew in his heart that the other person had already entered another level. If the gap between them gradually widened, they would disappear from each other's memories. As the cultivation level of immortal cultivators gradually increased, their lifespans also became longer. If they could not advance together, they would inevitably drift apart.

This is cruel, but it is also true, because the monks do not want to experience the sadness of losing their close friends, so it is better to break off the friendship as soon as possible.

He clenched his fists lightly, and his desire to build his foundation increased a little more.

At this moment, Chu He suddenly discovered that among the four people who came, he had the lowest possibility of building a foundation.

Senior Sister Yue has already completed Qi training and is currently refining her spiritual consciousness. She already holds the Foundation Establishment Pill in her hand.

Senior Sister Zhao has top-grade qualifications and will be able to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill in a few years, so building the foundation will definitely not be a problem.

Junior Brother Ji is helpless, but he earns crystals very quickly and is definitely ranked first among the four.

Zhao Mengyao secretly observed around and found that the rest of the invited Qi Refining disciples were all at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

By observing the temperament of these people, it is easy to find that most of them are disciples from large families.

Needless to say, in Zhang Yuanshan's mind, these people are all considered as foundation-building reserves.

She said softly:
"Junior Brother Chu, do you know those Qi Refining disciples?"

Chu He nodded slightly:

"They are disciples from the Weapon Refining Hall. Several of them are of the same age as us. They all have talent for refining weapons."

He felt a little embarrassed. He had been forced to leave the Equipment Refining Hall back then. Now that he saw his old friends again, everyone was doing better than him, and he felt quite bitter.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators sat at one table, while the Qi Refining disciples sat at two tables, just like the circles of interpersonal relationships, clearly divided.

Ji An didn't think about expanding his network. The current situation was that people's status was unequal, and sticking his head out would only make people look down on him.

Just like selling insurance in the previous life, if a customer talks to you with a condescending attitude, it will be impossible to close the deal.

He sat down and followed Zhang Yuanshan's instructions, eating and drinking well.

"My name is Yue Rong. I haven't asked for my fellow apprentice's name yet, or which mountain he's assigned to."

Looking at someone who started to eat and drink calmly, Yue Rong asked curiously.

"I'm in Xia Ji'an. I've met Senior Sister. I've been assigned to the valley near the Bishui Lake and can only be a spiritual farmer."

Chu He smiled and said:

"Sister, don't listen to his nonsense. Although Junior Brother Ji has planted a few acres of spiritual fields in the Blue Water Lake, he has a deep understanding of magic. He has mastered the Small Cloud Rain Technique to perfection within three years of joining the sect.

At the same time, Junior Brother is also quite talented in fighting. A few days ago, we were hunting monsters together in Moya Mountain, and Junior Brother was the one who changed the situation several times."

He began to describe the scene of hunting monsters vividly.
Although Chu He's voice was low, all the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage could hear it clearly.

A cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage laughed and said:
"Everyone knows how difficult it is for a disciple who has just entered the sect to master a spell within three years.

Junior Brother Zhang, your guest may have a special physique. If he can obtain a technique that suits him after building his foundation, his future achievements cannot be underestimated."

Someone chuckled and said:
"Brother, this is hard to say.

Being assigned to cultivate spiritual fields means that one's qualifications are average and there is no support behind him, so it is still difficult to build a foundation.

Moreover, the competition for Foundation Establishment Pills is extremely fierce right now, and I don’t know how long it will take for the other party to exchange for one.”

Qualification is not everything, but it is extremely important in the two stages of Qi Refining and Foundation Building.

There are many disciples with special physiques in the sect who have wasted their time due to lack of qualifications, which is the most tormenting thing.

Cultivating immortals requires courage and perseverance. If a cultivator's confidence is often undermined during the long-term pursuit of external objects, he will gradually lose his indomitable fighting spirit.

Zhang Yuanshan nodded slightly. Building the foundation was indeed just a threshold.
