Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 220 Preparing to Build the Foundation
The new long-distance communication system is completely different from the old one.

Traditional relay stations were built on the ground. When choosing routes, they would usually select the territories of friendly sects and negotiate to pass through the territories of neutral sects.

The new relay station is located above the Light Clear Layer, taking advantage of the cultivators' disregard for air power in this world.

Major sects in this world generally do not emphasize airspace rights, at least not as much as they do with the ground.

Even when air superiority is emphasized, it usually refers to the space below the thunderstorm layer.

Zhou Qing took advantage of this psychological bias and built the relay station in the low-lying layer that people did not pay attention to.

However, even if we don't take it seriously, other sects will still feel uneasy having such a big iron lump above their heads.

That's why all sorts of opinions have arisen.

In the past six months, there have been numerous instances of cultivators entering the Light Clear Layer to test the relay station.

Some of these people belong to major sects, while others are greedy small sects or independent cultivators.

However, due to the power of the Eight Sects Alliance, no one has dared to make a move openly so far.

However, some people are already making moves.

The situation reported by Xuanzhe was not unexpected for Zhou Qing.

He had long anticipated that securing his air superiority would inevitably involve several struggles.

He instructed Xuanzhe to continue closely monitoring the relay station's situation before dismissing everyone.

He then went to the library.

"Oh, you're out?"

Mu Zhuosha looked at him with great interest and said, "By the way, what realm are you at now?"

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Guess."

Mu Zhuosha thought for a moment and said, "There must be at least the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refining."

"According to Qingxuan, you only have one spiritual root, so it should be difficult for you to advance so quickly. However, you spend all your time in the Thunder Dragon Cave, so you should have this level of cultivation by now."

Zhou Qing said, "More or less."

Mu Zhuosha nodded in satisfaction and said, "You and the old man agreed to leave within ten years, and five years have passed now."

"If you spend another five years in the Thunder Dragon Cave, you'll likely reach the seventh level of Qi Refining. With your strange and unusual methods, we won't have to worry about your safety anymore."

Zhou Qing asked in surprise, "Are the requirements for going out so high? With my current skills, would I still encounter danger if I went out?"

This guy had witnessed how he dealt with the demonic cultivators of the Seven Emotions Sect.

Mu Zhuosha rolled her eyes at him and said, "I don't have such high expectations of others, but you are different. You still have a great grudge against the Seven Emotions Sect. If they find out that you left the sect, they will definitely take action against you."

"Even among those who cultivate immortality, there are probably many who would like to use you as a stepping stone to achieve their own fame."

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "That's what makes it lively."

Mu Zhuosha shook her head helplessly and said, "You're even crazier than me."

"By the way, you just wanted to chat with me today?"

Zhou Qing said, "Of course not, I want to ask my senior uncle about the Foundation Establishment."

Ok?
Mu Zhuosha looked at Zhou Qing suspiciously and said, "Why are you asking this? You're still a long way from Foundation Establishment."

"It's getting late."

Mu Zhuosha was immediately startled and asked, "What realm are you at now?"

"Ninth level of Qi Refining".

"Impossible!" Mu Zhuosha jumped up immediately and said, "Even if you soak in the Thunder Dragon Cave every day, it's impossible for a single spiritual root to progress so quickly. Don't even mention a single spiritual root, even if you had more than thirty spiritual roots, it wouldn't be possible to advance this fast!"

What a hell!
This guy has only been in the Qingyun Sect for seven years, and he's already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining?
With her talent of forty-two spiritual roots, it took her nearly ten years to reach this level.

Zhou Qing looked at her helplessly and said, "Senior Aunt, smart people have long since learned not to be shocked by my behavior. Only you are still shouting 'impossible, impossible'."

Mu Zhuosha raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "Are you saying I'm not smart?"

Zhou Qing said, "Yes, it's obvious."

"You evildoer!"

Mu Zhuosha was so angry that she wanted to scratch him, but she suppressed her anger and said, "How did you do that?"

Zhou Qing said indifferently, "That's how I did it. My situation is not relevant to this, and others can't learn it anyway."

Mu Zhuosha sat back down dejectedly and said, "I used to say things like that to other people."

Zhou Qing almost burst out laughing and said, "Alright, stop thinking nonsense. Among ordinary geniuses, you are still very outstanding, but you can't compare with peerless geniuses."

"Don't be so smug!"

Mu Zhuosha snorted, but did not refute.

She thought for a moment and said, "Foundation Building is actually very simple. As long as you can accurately identify the acupoints, and then use all your spiritual energy to break through them, that's all."

"There are two difficulties inside. One is that one's Dao heart is weak or there are too many distracting thoughts, and one's mind is not strong enough to control the spiritual energy. Therefore, the spiritual energy is not strong enough to impact the Qi Sea, so it cannot break through the Qi Sea. You don't need to worry about this."

"The second difficulty is that the spiritual energy impact on the Qi Sea cannot be too violent, otherwise it will cause the Qi Sea to suffer damage beyond its limit, ultimately damaging the Qi Sea."

"Therefore, the foundation building process has always required two preparations. One is to consolidate one's Dao heart. In this regard, the standard equipment in the Western Continent is the Anti-Qing Restoration Formation. Hmm, now you can be a little smug."

Zhou Qing smiled and shook his head.

Mu Zhuosha continued, "Another preparation is to protect the Qi Sea. The standard for this is the Foundation Establishment Pill. The Foundation Establishment Pill can protect the Qi Sea acupoint so that it will not be destroyed by spiritual energy."

Zhou Qing said, "In other words, all I need to do now is prepare Foundation Establishment Pills."

Where can I buy Foundation Establishment Pills?

Mu Zhuosha said, "Our Pill Academy has Foundation Establishment Pills, but the effects are so-so. To ensure that everything goes smoothly, you should buy Foundation Establishment Pills from Medicine King Valley, and it's best to prepare a few extra, because Foundation Establishment often cannot be achieved on the first try."

Zhou Qing asked, "What is the price of the Foundation Establishment Pill in Medicine King Valley?"

Mu Zhuosha laughed and said, "Why do you need to ask this? You're not short of money anyway."

"I'll just tell my people to prepare five portions for you."

"You should be able to succeed after five attempts at foundation building, otherwise it means you need to accumulate more experience."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle-Master."

Zhou Qing then inquired about the situation of the Eight Sects Alliance in recent years from Mu Zhuosha, and learned that the Changsheng Sect had later encountered people from the Seven Emotions Sect who had tested them.

The Eight Sects Alliance reacted quickly this time, with more than six Golden Core cultivators arriving at the Longevity Sect within three or four days to provide assistance, scaring away the Seven Emotions Sect members.

From then on, the Seven Emotions Sect never again set its sights on the Longevity Sect.

The Eight Sects Alliance has been closely monitoring the situation in Western Polar Continent for the past few years and has learned that the Seven Emotions Sect is searching everywhere for treasures that can prolong life.

Not only the Seven Emotions Sect, but other sects of the demonic path are also eager to make a move.

West Antarctica is in a precarious state.

Finally, Mu Zhuosha concluded, "In short, the world is not peaceful right now, so you must be extra careful when you go out to travel."
