Sect Leader! Please strengthen our Dao Sect!

"Could it be that the sect is hiding a big treasure?"

Shen Shanshui muttered to himself, then released his divine sense, which instantly enveloped the entire mountain.

The Qi Refining Realm is the mainstream realm in the secular world. Reaching the ninth level of Qi Refining is like ascending to heaven with each step, while a rogue cultivator can call himself a master after reaching the third level.

With his perfected Qi cultivation, he had already taken a step beyond the realm of mortals, and his divine sense could cover an area of ​​dozens of miles.

Only after refining one's Qi to perfection and opening one's Qi Sea to become a Foundation Establishment True Person can one be considered to have truly embarked on the path of immortality.

But this very foundation-building stage is the barrier between immortals and mortals, blocking countless people.

Shen Qingfeng has cultivated for a hundred years, yet he has only reached the sixth level of Qi Refining.

"There's nothing unusual. Did I misunderstand, or am I just too weak to sense anything?"

The so-called blessed land is the place created by heaven and earth, and the fundamental reason why major sects of immortals can develop in the long term.

If the Heavenly Dao Sect truly had a glorious past, it's not impossible that it possesses a hidden and sealed blessed land.

"Forget it, with my current strength, even if there really is such a blessed land, it will probably only bring trouble."

Shen Shanshui withdrew his divine sense, not dwelling on it too much. He had been stuck at the Qi Refining Perfection realm for a long time, and whether he could break through to Foundation Establishment in this lifetime depended entirely on fate.

The gate between the mortal and immortal realms is a gateway to transcendence; it is not easily opened.

Of course, that was his previous idea. Now that he has the system, will things turn out differently?

[Would you like to claim the opening gift pack?]

Absolutely! It's crazy not to use cheat codes.

[Rewards: Heavenly Dao Foundation Stone x1, Human Dao Foundation Building True Understanding x1]

[For the long-term development of the sect, please, Sect Leader, strive to improve your cultivation.]

"Two Foundation Establishment opportunities!"

Shen Shanshui's pupils contracted slightly as he turned his head to look at Shen Lingxi, who was still tied up.

His cultivation has stagnated for many years, isn't it because he lacked this opportunity to establish his foundation?

The silly girl shouted for a long time but couldn't move her senior brother, who was just playing around with his head down and kicking his feet.

Seeing Shen Shanshui looking over, Shen Lingxi Federation once again put on that pitiful expression.

"Senior brother..."

Shen Shanshui still ignored him and turned his head away again.

The system provided two opportunities for foundation building, just the right amount.

There are roughly two types of foundation building: one is to seek one's own potential, and the other is to rely on external things.

The so-called self-cultivation is the simplest and most direct method, relying entirely on one's own understanding. When the opportunity arises, opening the Qi Sea and completing the foundation building will be a natural process, which is regarded as the foundation building of humanity.

The advantage of this method is that it does not rely on external factors; it is naturally perfect and considered flawless, also known as perfect foundation building. Of course, the disadvantages are also obvious. In addition to innate talent and comprehension, it also depends on fate, which, to put it bluntly, is entirely up to destiny.

For a poor cultivator like Shen Shanshui, this was the only path he could take before.

The second path to foundation building involves relying on a spiritual entity to open up the sea of ​​qi and suppress it; cultivators call this their natal object.

The strength of one's natal object has a significant long-term impact on one's cultivation path. It can be further divided into mortal foundation building, earthly foundation building, and heavenly foundation building.

This method, barring extremely bad luck, almost guarantees a successful foundation building, and it is currently the mainstream foundation building method.

Even so, how difficult it is to find a creature with a spirit! Only blessed lands that have seized the essence of heaven and earth can nurture such a creature, which is either in the hands of powerful sects or under the control of the imperial court.

"The system is really extravagant. Even disciples of top sects would probably be envious of these two items."

Shen Shanshui's breathing was somewhat heavy. As a transmigrator, he had now cultivated to the point of perfect Qi Refining. How could he not yearn to embark on the path of immortality?

"How to choose?"

Although the Human Foundation Building is called flawless, it is not much better than the Heavenly Foundation Building, and its success rate is extremely low.

Even with the Humanity Foundation Establishment True Understanding rewarded by the system, Shen Shanshui was not absolutely certain.

He turned and walked towards Shen Lingxi.

"Hehe... Senior brother."

Shen Lingxi pouted pitifully.

"What are you thinking about all day? You've even set your sights on your elder brother!"

Shen Shanshui raised his hand and gently knocked on the girl's smooth forehead.

The girl, bound like a dumpling, winced in pain, her watery eyes blinking, looking utterly aggrieved.

Shen Shanshui shook his head upon seeing this, but couldn't bear to actually punish the girl.

With a flick of his sleeve, the ropes binding the girl instantly loosened.

"My senior brother loves me the most."

Shen Lingxi jumped up and hugged Shen Shanshui's arm, acting coquettishly while her hands and feet were also restless.

"snort!"

However, with a cold snort from Shen Shanshui, Shen Lingxi obediently stood up straight.

"I'm going into seclusion for a few days, so please stay put. Don't disturb me unless absolutely necessary."

Shen Shanshui looked at Shen Lingxi with a solemn expression.

Shen Lingxi was slightly taken aback, her big eyes darting around. She was already quite intelligent, and she looked at her senior brother with excitement and admiration.

"Senior brother, are you about to break through?"

"I have some insights."

Shen Shanshui nodded, then spoke again: "During my seclusion, I must not neglect my cultivation. You are exceptionally talented, even more so than I am."

May you soon reach the pinnacle of your cultivation, and I will present you with a great gift.

"A big gift?"

Shen Lingxi murmured, her pretty face suddenly turning red.

Shen Shanshui sighed and shook his head. This girl was hopeless. He would definitely burn all those storybooks in her room another day.

Why is your face turning red like a bubble teapot?

Ignoring the girl's wild thoughts, Shen Shanshui turned and went into the temple, closing the door behind her.

I lit three incense sticks and bowed to the memorial tablet on the altar.

"Honorable ancestors and master, please bless your disciple to successfully establish his foundation."

After only a brief moment of thought, he had already made his decision. With a system at his disposal, what was there to be afraid of? If he was going to build his foundation, he would build the most awesome one!

……

……

Half a month later.

At the entrance of Tianyi Temple, Shen Lingxi sat on the high threshold, holding a novel called "The Nascent Soul Daoist Falls in Love with Me" and studying it carefully.

She blushed one moment and covered her eyes the next, yet she couldn't help but continue watching, burying her head in the sand.

"Hehe... When my senior brother becomes a Nascent Soul Dao Lord in the future and asks me for his hand in marriage, how should I accept in a way that is both modest and reserved?"

Shen Lingxi supported her jade-like neck with one hand, her pretty face becoming even more flushed.

It's a pity Shen Shanshui didn't hear these remarks, otherwise he would have felt that his junior sister's worship of him was too blind.

The Governor of Yunzhou in the Great Qin Dynasty, a powerful regional official, was a Nascent Soul Dao Lord. His cultivation level, status, and power were above tens of thousands of people, and he was admired by countless others.

"Sigh... Senior brother, will it succeed?"

Shen Lingxi put down her storybook, turned around and looked at the temple, her beautiful eyes filled with a mixture of worry and anticipation.

The room where Shen Shanshui was in seclusion was now filled with a rich Daoist aura, which rippled out rhythmically.

The reason she sat at the entrance of the temple was because, starting from the eighth day, the Taoist aura surrounding the house seemed to have formed some kind of restriction.

As soon as Shen Lingxi got close, she could feel a powerful aura that made it hard for her to breathe.

"Senior brother can definitely do it!"

"Um!"

Shen Lingxi clenched her fist, her heart filled with confidence in her senior brother.

at the same time.

in the house.

Shen Shanshui's eyes were closed, his palms facing upwards, and he was surrounded by a Daoist aura that was many times stronger than that outside. His whole being was mysterious and elusive, sometimes blurry and sometimes clear, as if he were merging with the world around him.

Right now!

A thunderous roar!

Shen Shanshui suddenly opened his eyes, shooting out two beams of light, and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Suddenly, a gust of wind and thunder swept through the room.

"Certainly!"

Shen Shanshui flicked his finger, instantly locking in all the energy and Daoist principles surrounding him.

"Is it going to rain? I need to bring in the laundry."

Shen Lingxi was about to get up when the door that had been tightly closed suddenly opened.

A figure as graceful as an immortal flew out from it and soared into the sky.

"Senior brother..."

"Ha... Senior Brother, it's Senior Brother! Senior Brother can fly now!"

Shen Lingxi jumped up excitedly, even throwing her favorite storybook away.

Just as she was about to chase after him, her senior brother's voice suddenly rang in her ears: "Don't follow. I'll lead away the tribulation clouds first and wait for my tribulation to end."
