Chapter 138 Foundation Building (Congratulations to the leader of zzyzzx123)


    Build the foundation!


    It is the first big threshold for cultivating immortals.


    It is said that in ancient times when spiritual energy was prosperous, only foundation-building monks could truly be considered as the entry-level cultivators of immortality, and they were known as foundation-building true cultivators.


    Generally speaking, the process of foundation building is often related to the spiritual roots and skills of the monks, and the longest time does not exceed a hundred days, so there is also a saying of hundred days of foundation building.


    …


    Ten days later.


    Outside the second-level cave complex, a stream of light flew towards me.


    The light fell to the ground, and a foundation-building monk appeared.


    He was wearing a purple robe, had a heroic appearance, and had a purple jade spiritual sword on his back.


    He silently looked at the rental caves and suddenly issued a transmission note.


    Not long after, Manager Wang hurried over and saluted respectfully: "I''ve met Elder Min!"


    Elder Min, who is in the middle stage of foundation building, is directly under the city lord''s palace and manages the law enforcement in Ziyuan City. He is a swordsman with amazing combat power.


    Of course, there is no need to say more about his status in Ziyuan City.


    Anyway, it''s not like he, a small cave manager, can be offended.


    "Have you ever seen this person?!"


    Min and his entourage casually threw a jade slip. Among the jade slips was a young man in a silver shirt, who looked like a clone of a cultivator.


    "Elder Qi, I met him ten days ago. This boy calls himself Fang. He is a casual cultivator. He has rented a second-level high-grade cave house and is preparing to build the foundation..."


    Manager Wang felt that there must be something wrong with this person, so he immediately didn''t dare to neglect and came to tell them one by one.


    "Foundation building? Are you still bringing one person with you?"


    Min and his party nodded: "It seems that this person is responsible for the Zhou family tragedy..."


    "What?"


    Manager Wang was shocked. A few days ago, it was discovered that the entire Zhou family had been wiped out, and everyone in the family was dead, even the ancestors of the Zhou family who had built their foundation.


    He always thought it was the work of some demonic cultivator, but he never expected that it turned out to be such a handsome young man.


    ‘You really know people but don’t know their hearts. Fortunately, I didn’t deliberately make things difficult, otherwise this old man would have confessed...''


    Steward Wang secretly rejoiced and said quickly: "That man rented Cave No. 7... Elder, do you want it?"


    "Lead the way!"


    Min and his party asked Manager Wang to go ahead and arrived at the cave where Fang Xing was retreating. Their eyes were deep and they didn''t know what they were thinking.


    "The elder is really sure that this person did it? This person is just a Qi practitioner, and he brought a warrior slave with him... It is impossible to kill the entire Zhou family, right?"


    Manager Wang had some embarrassment on his face: "Although this cave formation has a secret door, if we break in by force, our future reputation will be ruined..."


    "Hmph, before the Zhou Mansion was destroyed, this person was the only one who visited the Zhou Mansion. Later, someone saw this person leading people out of the Zhou Mansion... So confident, it seems that the warrior servant is his protector, and he is at least building a foundation. Monk, if you calm down your breath a little, you won''t be able to see anything..."


    Min and his party snorted coldly, looking at the cave but not rushing in.


    When Manager Wang saw this, he immediately felt confident.


    It seems that although Elder Min is a swordsman, he is also very cautious and does not want to completely confront the murderer who slaughtered the Zhou family.


    Otherwise, if you break into someone''s cave directly, you will never stop fighting.


    He thought for a moment and then stood here, waiting with Elder Min.


    A few days later, the sky above the cave suddenly shook, and then a whirlpool of spiritual energy emerged, madly sucking in the surrounding spiritual energy mist.


    "This is... a spiritual energy vortex? That''s right... someone is attacking the foundation?!"


    Many monks were attracted by the spiritual energy vortex. When they saw Elder Min and Manager Wang, they were startled. They quickly stood aside and guessed the identities of the monks in the cave.


    "Arouse the spiritual energy of heaven and earth so quickly?"


    When Manager Wang saw this scene, his heart felt sour and astringent.


    Although he failed to build the foundation back then, he understood the foundation building process very well.


    I didn''t expect that the young man who seemed to have not yet perfected his qi practice could reach this point in one go?


    "The spiritual energy vortex is quite stable, so it should be possible."


    Elder Min spoke at this time, with a look of surprise on his face: "With such a sharp aura, could he also be a swordsman?"


    …


    A few days ago.


    Inside the cave.


    Fang Xing opened the Wanhua Cauldron and took out two Foundation Establishment Pills.


    I saw that a faint black line on the inferior Foundation Establishment Pill had long since disappeared.


    The other genuine Foundation Establishment Pill shrank in size at this time, exuding a crystal-clear luster like jade.


    "Excellent foundation-building pill."


    He nodded, sat cross-legged, and silently operated the foundation-building method in the ''Gold Transformation Technique''.


    Almost instantly, he entered a state of divine enlightenment. The aura inside the cave was madly attracted and injected into his limbs and bones.


    "Foundation building...has begun."


    Fang Xing murmured and swallowed the top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill directly.


    Wow!


    This top-quality foundation-building pill turned into a stream of warmth as soon as it entered the abdomen, seeming to completely ignite the spiritual energy.


    Countless spiritual energy crazily washes through the limbs and bones, performing the ''muscle-changing and marrow-cleansing'' process again and again!


    Only a little bit of sticky sweat appeared on the surface of Fangxing.


    "Hmm... This is because I am gifted with a hundred meridians, and when I practice, I only take top-quality elixirs, and there is no erysipelas... Therefore, I can''t wash out any impurities even if I wash my marrow."


    "I passed the physical level among the three levels of foundation building without any pain."


    "Even the power of the top-grade foundation-building pill has not been consumed much..."


    He nodded and felt that in the sea of ??Qi in Dantian, most of the medicinal power of the Foundation Establishment Pill was gathered here, causing his ninth-level Qi training power to skyrocket again, and he soon reached Qi training perfection!


    Then, there was a hint of viscosity in the magic power, which condensed into a vortex.


    Tick ??tock!


    In the center of the vortex, a drop of pale golden liquid mana emerged.


    It is extremely viscous, like a golden pearl, floating in the air sea of ??Fang Xing''s dantian.


    "One drop of the liquid mana of a foundation-building monk is enough to compare with the entire mana of an ordinary Qi-training monk. This mana is turned into a true energy shield, which is difficult to break through with ordinary first-level means."


    Fang Xing nodded, watching drop after drop of pale golden mana emerge.


    One, two, three...


    Six, seven, eight...


    In the end, a total of nine pale golden ''pearls'' floated and sank in the Dantian Qi sea. Each one was crystal clear and full, and even had the slightest sense of solidity.


    "Generally speaking, how much liquid mana can be refined during the first foundation building is related to the monk''s foundation and skills..."


    "The worst foundation-building monk may have only one or two drops of liquid mana condensed in the mana gate..."


    "I am a Tianlinggen, and even more so. Although the Golden Transformation Technique is average in my opinion, it is still a technique that can be practiced to the point of forming a pill. Most casual cultivators can''t even see it..."


    "Taking it all together, it''s nine drops of liquid mana? If I practice until the Qi training is complete and then build the foundation, it might be ten drops of liquid mana."


    "However, this upper limit of mana can also be increased through practice after foundation building..."


    Fang Xing manipulated nine drops of liquid mana and reluctantly followed the foundation-building route of the Golden Transformation Art.


    Every time he ran the technique, he felt that his body was strengthened and his magic power became more powerful.


    The most important thing is that between his eyebrows, something mysterious is about to sprout.


    This is a sign that spiritual consciousness is about to transform into divine consciousness!


    "Now!"


    Fang Xing poured all the remaining power of the Foundation Establishment Pill into the Niwan Palace and felt his head explode.


    Then, a third eye seemed to open between the eyebrows, slowly looking around the whole body and touching the outside world.


    Five feet, ten feet... twenty feet!


    Thirty feet!


    With experience in spiritual powers, Fang Xing''s process of becoming familiar with divine consciousness was very easy.


    Soon, he controlled his spiritual consciousness and saw the entire cave and the ''self'' sitting cross-legged in the outside world!


    He even tried to penetrate deep into the body of the deity, but was stopped by a spiritual force.


    "The spiritual consciousness sees the outside world, and its subtleties are far beyond the perception of spiritual powers. It even has some clairvoyance. It is difficult for ordinary objects to block it. No wonder it can see through my puppet..."


    Fang Xing opened his eyes: "But I remember that when Su Ye just broke through, her consciousness could only cover ten feet... So is the ''god'' among her three treasures of spirit, energy, and spirit so weak? Or am I too strong?"


    After foundation building, there is indeed an all-round increase.


    He thought for a moment, then raised his hand.


    A several-foot-long Gengjin sword energy emerged. Its golden color was brilliant and dazzling, and there seemed to be runes wandering inside.


    Presumably, it only takes one sword to destroy the defense of a high-grade magic weapon.


    "Sure enough, the foundation-building monks simply crush the Qi-training monks..."


    Fang Xing sighed, then looked at himself, and shook his head: "After establishing the foundation, the magic weapons are basically useless. It''s best to replace them all with spiritual weapons. That cattail leaf fan spiritual weapon is not suitable for me at all. I should sell it and exchange it for a second-level weapon." A flying sword, a defensive spiritual weapon, and preferably a flying spiritual weapon..."


    Although foundation-building monks can fly physically.


    But if you are traveling a long distance, you definitely cannot waste mana like this.


    He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his body was already suspended in mid-air as if instinctively.


    "Is this physical flight? Wrapped with the power of the domain and combined with the air dance, it is indeed a different feeling."


    Fang Xing played for a while longer, then landed, walked out of the practice room, and stood side by side with him.


    "When we were in retreat, it was quite lively outside."


    He took out the cave token and slightly relaxed the restrictions.


    One after another, the transmission notes flew in like butterflies.


    Most of them are Qi practicing monks. Congratulations to this senior on his successful foundation building.


    There is only one that emits foundation-building level mana fluctuations.


    Fang Xing picked it off gently, swept his consciousness, and couldn''t help but smile: "Have you come to the door? It seems that we still have to talk, otherwise we will just start fighting..."


    "It''s a pity, I still want to see the real combat power of Fake Dan."


    …


    outside world.


    The cave door opened with a bang.


    Fang Xing wore a silver robe, his face was like a crown jade, his eyes were like paint, and he walked out calmly with the pressure of a foundation-building monk lingering on his body.


    The main body is like an ordinary warrior, following behind.


    "As expected, he is the foundation-building ancestor!"


    "Looking at his face, he should have practiced some kind of beauty-preserving technique..."


    The capable monks bowed their heads one after another and said congratulations: "Congratulations, senior, for successfully building the foundation. From now on, we will live forever..."


    "Well, reward!"


    Fang Xing pretended, and the master behind him immediately took out some low-grade spiritual stones and threw them out at will.


    "Senior is awesome!"


    Those cultivators in the late stage of Qi training just paid it back. The minor cultivators in the early and middle stages of Qi training were all overjoyed. They kept saying good things while receiving the spirit stones.


    At this time, Fang Xing''s eyes had focused on the only foundation-building monk present.


    Judging from the fluctuations in his mana, it may not be in the early stages of foundation building anymore.


    "Fellow Daoist Fang!"


    Min and his party stepped forward, bowed first, and then looked at Fang Xing himself, his eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.


    He originally thought that Fang Xing himself was a guardian-like existence, but he just restrained his aura.


    But I didn''t expect that now that I met him face to face, I still felt that the other person was a mortal without magic power!


    This method of condensing the breath is really incredible!


    "Who is this?"


    Fang Xing showed a trace of doubt.


    "Senior Fang, this Senior Min Min is the law enforcement elder of this city, with a distinguished status... he has been protecting senior in the outside world for many days."


    Manager Wang quickly introduced.


    "I see, thank you Daoist Fellow Min for protecting the Dharma." Fang Xing naturally knew that the so-called Dharma Protector was just a joke, but he didn''t reach out to hit the smiling man, so he accepted it as such.


    "It''s so noisy here, why not come and sit in my house?" Min and his party took the initiative to invite.


    "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."


    Fang Xing laughed, and the two of them turned into streams of light, flying into the sky and quickly disappearing in the envious eyes of the Qi Practitioner.


    …


    There is actually a third-level spiritual energy in the cave where Min and his party live.


    It is built on a small peak and is a loft with exquisite and simple shape.


    In front of the attic, there is also a patch of strange flowers and plants planted. Its roots are like swords, pointing straight to the sky, and there are little golden lights, dotting it like fireflies.


    "Is this... Swordweed?"


    When Fang Xing saw these acres of lawn, he couldn''t help but admire: "With this grass as the main material, we can prepare a sword pool, which is perfect for refining flying swords..."


    "Haha, fellow Taoist is indeed a sword cultivator."


    Min and his party invited Fang Xing to the second floor of the attic and made tea himself: "This is my treasured ''Qianyan Jingxiu'', try it."


    "Fellow Taoist invited me here, I''m afraid it''s not just for tea, right?" Fang Xing said as if he was pointing.


    "Haha, that''s exactly it. My friend, what does the case of the Zhou family''s extermination have to do with you?"


    After Min finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on the person behind Fang Xing.


    Fang Xing smiled slightly and sat down directly: "I did it!"


    "Why?"


    Min Yi Xing frowned.


    "My nephew went to him to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, but Old Ghost Zhou actually deceived him, so I killed them all." Fang Xing shrugged.


    "I see, then the Zhou family deserves it. We, Ziyuan Immortal City, are based on integrity in doing business, and the most taboo is for shops to bully customers..."


    Min and his party nodded and seemed to believe it directly: "By the way, I forgot to tell fellow Taoist... The Zhou family in Ziqingtan was exterminated by Jie Xiu a few days ago. Now, there is no Zhou family name in this land."


    As soon as these words came out, Fang Xing couldn''t help but remain silent.


    If he hadn''t killed the ancestor of the Zhou family, the Zhou family would probably still be living in peace.


    But if this happened a hundred times again, he would definitely kill the ancestor of the Zhou family. There was no second possibility.


    "I wonder if you, your nephew, have any plans to open up a spiritual place for practice? If so... I can make the decision and let you rent Ziqingtan, how about that?"


    Min Yi Xing suddenly spoke.


    "Purple Green Pond, is it a place of cultivation?"


    Fang Xing fell into deep thought.


    After establishing the foundation of the immortal avatar, a second-level spiritual land is indeed needed for cultivation.


    But at the same time, I was more frightened: ''The monks in this world are really cold... After his death, especially after I established the foundation, the Zhou family''s personal connections were abandoned... You still want to cooperate with me...''


    This made Fang Xing feel a little uncertain in his heart.


    ''But, is this a test? ’


    After he thought about it clearly, he chuckled and replied: "I have no intention of establishing any power. I just need to have a second-level cave to practice in Ziyuan Immortal City..."


    "I see, it''s me, Meng Lang."


    Min and his party took a sip of spiritual tea, with no expression on their faces.
