Chapter 163 Foundation Building Five
After cleaning up the poisonous pool at the bottom of Ten Thousand Snakes Cave, Zhang Zhixuan immediately returned to Lingjing Mountain.
His cultivation has reached the peak of the fourth level of foundation building, and he may break through at any time.
Up to now, Zhang Zhixuan has been building the foundation for 20 years, and more than 40 years have passed since he started practicing Taoism. It has already taken eight years to become a monk in the middle stage of foundation building.
After more than eight years of practice, Zhang Zhixuan sensed the best opportunity to break through as soon as he returned to the mountain gate. He spent almost no effort and broke through the realm calmly.
After twenty years of foundation building, today Zhang Zhixuan finally became a monk on the fifth level of foundation building.
Because he did not take the Foundation Building Pill to build the foundation, his magic power and spiritual consciousness were much more powerful than those of monks with the same level of cultivation.
By now, his mana and consciousness were equivalent to those of a seventh-level foundation-building monk. Compared with the patriarch who has been established for hundreds of years, Zhang Zhixuan is now more powerful.
After twenty years of continuous practice, the family’s technique, Heavenly Fire Golden Sword Technique, has also made great progress.
Because the mana is equivalent to that of a seventh-level foundation-building monk, after breaking through the realm, Zhang Zhixuan is ready to condense this golden sword of heavenly fire.
The core key of this skill is to condense the golden sword.
Zhang Zhixuan is a monk with the three spiritual roots of metal, fire and wood. His metallic spiritual roots are the best, his wood spiritual roots are the worst, and his fire spiritual roots are in between.
Fire can overcome metal, and wood can create fire. The golden spiritual root in Zhang Zhixuan’s body is very powerful. Even with the help of the wood spiritual root, the combined power of wood and fire is far less powerful than the golden spiritual root.
His spiritual root attributes are very suitable for practicing the Heavenly Fire Golden Sword Technique.
If his fire spirit root is the strongest, the fire attribute mana will violently conflict with the golden spirit root. Coupled with the assistance of the wood spirit root, it may be better to practice a single attribute fire attribute technique.
Fierce fire can forge real gold, and appropriate fire-attribute magic power can temper a golden sword to be sharper.
In the twenty years since Zhang Zhixuan established the foundation, he has successively mastered the two spells of Samadhi True Fire and Fire Yang True Thunder, and today he has finally begun to condense the most powerful Heavenly Fire Golden Sword.
From the perspective of learning spells, Zhang Zhixuan’s talent and understanding are quite good. He has spent twenty years laying the foundation, and Zhang Zhixuan is already familiar with this technique.
Although it is impossible to draw inferences from one instance and modify and create subsequent exercises, it is not an exaggeration to say that after twenty years of continuous hard work, it has been mastered.
The process of condensing the golden sword was very smooth. After half a year of smelting, this heavenly fire golden sword finally took shape.
The golden sword has just been mastered. Because the temperature and smelting time is still short, the power is not very powerful. It is only equivalent to a third-level low-grade gold spell.
However, the growth potential of the Sky Fire Golden Sword is very good. As long as you invest time and continue to refine it, the power of the Sky Fire Golden Sword will become more and more powerful.
Even after Zhang Zhixuan opened the Purple Mansion, as the magic power and true fire in his body gradually became stronger, the power of this golden sword would not fall behind, and it could still become his trump card.
After refining the Heavenly Fire Golden Sword, Zhang Zhixuan has another trump card in his hand. However, the progress of the other spell, Purple Qi Divine Light, is not as smooth as the Heavenly Fire Golden Sword.
The further you go in practicing this spell, the more difficult it becomes. Although Zhang Zhixuan has been practicing it for so many years, the progress is only half way.
The further back the acupuncture points are, the more dangerous they are. Almost all of them are concentrated inside the brain. A slight mistake will cause unmanageable sequelae.
Every step Zhang Zhixuan takes, every time he opens an acupuncture point, he is almost trembling and walking on thin ice. When he first established the foundation, he estimated that it would take thirty years to refine this spell, but according to the current progress, it may take even more time.
When practicing this technique, you must not be in a hurry, but work steadily and open the blocked acupoints bit by bit. Only monks with a calm personality can practice it.
As for the resolute and impatient monks who practice this kind of out-of-character magic, nine out of ten will go crazy and either die on the spot or become a fool.
Seeing that it was impossible for Ziqi Shenguang to make any progress, Zhang Zhixuan did not force it and immediately chose to leave seclusion.
During his year of seclusion, another good news came from his family.
Eight months ago, Qingchan also successfully broke through the first-level level and became a second-level foundation-building monk.
Qing Chan is a Tianlinggen monk. According to the normal progress of cultivation, his cultivation level should have caught up with Zhang Zhixuan.
It’s a pity that she was seduced by evil cultivators when she was young. In order to regenerate this soul, she spent fifteen years at the ninth level of Qi training.
Even so, Qing Chan’s soul consciousness after establishing the foundation is slightly weaker than that of a normal monk.
For this reason, it took her five years to break through to the first realm after building the foundation, which was slightly slower than Zhang Zhixuan and Han Yan.
However, as her cultivation level increases, her soul will slowly recover, and her cultivation level will grow faster and faster.
It may still take five years to break through to the next level.
According to Zhang Zhixuan’s current estimate, in the early stages of foundation building, it would take Qingchan five years to break through a realm, and this progress was not as good as that of the Erlinggen monks.
But after reaching the middle stage of foundation building, as the soul has slowly begun to replenish the foundation, Qingchan’s breakthrough to a realm is estimated to take five years. This progress is faster than that of the Erlinggen monk. Even the cold smoke of the alien spirit root cannot break through a realm in five years after the middle stage of foundation building.
After reaching the later stage of foundation building, Qing Chan’s cultivation speed is almost exactly the same as that of a normal Tianlinggen cultivator. In less than twenty years, he will be able to reach the peak of the foundation building stage and prepare for the opening of the Zi Mansion.
Because of the hidden dangers in his soul, Qingchan did not show the cultivation speed of the Tianlinggen monk. In addition, for so many years, except for following Zhang Zhixuan to Montenegro, she has basically never left the protection of her family.
Although she succeeded in building the foundation, which also surprised others, her identity as a Tianlinggen monk has not yet been exposed, and no one else has suspected it at all.
Zhang Zhixuan and the clan leader had already discussed it, and everyone said that Qing Chan was a monk who took the Foundation Establishment Pill to build the foundation.
Although the Zhang family currently has three foundation-building monks, there is still Han Yan within the Qingxuan Sect.
But they still dare not reveal the identity of Qingchan Tianlinggen, so as not to bring hidden dangers to their family. In addition to Qingchan’s breakthrough, the family also gained a ninth-level qi-training elder during this time.
This person is Zhang Zhixuan’s ninth brother, named Zhang Zhifan. He is fifty-seven years old and is also a four-spiritual root monk. It is basically impossible to build a foundation.
However, Zhang Zhifan’s skill in weapon refining was pretty good. She studied weapon refining with her eighteenth aunt Zhang Mengqin, and she was already a second-level low-level weapon refining master.
After nearly twenty years of exploration, his level of weapon refining finally caught up with Zhang Mengqin’s and he became a second-level high-grade weapon refining master.
