“Three ways to build a foundation?
This is the first time Song Jie has heard of information related to foundation building.
The foundation building he knew was the foundation building method obtained from the memory of the original owner.
This method of foundation building is very simple. Most monks in the Qi refining stage know it. It is considered a common sense in cultivating immortals.
When a monk’s cultivation in the Qi Refining Stage breaks through to the tenth level of the Qi Refining Stage, he can take the Foundation Building Pill to build the foundation.
The higher the quality of the Foundation Establishment Pill, the higher the chance of success in attacking the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Anyway, in the more than half a year since time traveled, Song Jie has not heard of other foundation building methods.
When chatting with Shi Lei and Li Caiwei before, they also talked about foundation building.
Apart from lamenting the difficulty of foundation building, the couple did not talk about other foundation building methods.
Song Jie guessed that most monks probably only knew how to take foundation-building pills to build foundations.
As for other foundation building methods, they are probably not accessible to ordinary monks.
“Last time, fellow Taoist Huangfu said, don’t take foundation-building pills to build foundations until you are desperate.
“It seems that there may be some drawbacks to taking the Foundation Building Pill to build the foundation.
“And most ordinary monks probably don’t know about this disadvantage.
“Even if someone knows, there may not be any way to obtain other foundation building methods.
“For most monks, taking the Foundation Building Pill to build a foundation may be the only way to advance.”
Thinking of this, Song Jie suddenly felt emotional.
This world of immortality is, to a certain extent, the same as the world before he traveled through time.
The monks at the bottom are equivalent to the ordinary people at the bottom. Without the corresponding connections and resources, they can only live in obscurity at the bottom for the rest of their lives.
Very realistic and cruel…
The original owner was a typical low-level monk who had spent ten years refining Bigu Pills and could not see any hope for the future.
It’s no wonder that later on, the original owner will gradually give up on himself.
There seems to be no difference between this and those young people who were lying flat on their backs before Song Jie traveled through time.
“If I didn’t have something special about me, fellow Taoist Huangfu probably wouldn’t notice me, let alone invest in me.
“So if you have the opportunity, you should make more friends with the young talents of those sect forces, so that you can get more intelligence information.
“The prerequisite for making friends with those young heroes is that I myself must be of sufficient use value.
“Otherwise, they won’t pay attention to me…
“It seems that the operation of this store really requires a lot of effort.
“My own cultivation and alchemy skills must also be improved as soon as possible.”
After some thought, Song Jie had a clearer plan for the future.
“Cultivation of immortality is not just about practicing hard behind closed doors…
“Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
“Even in the world of cultivating immortals, human nature is inevitable.”
Song Jie smiled softly, then walked to the small hall, started making tea and waited for Huangfu God’s arrival.
Not long after, God Huangfu came to Song Jie’s home.
“Fellow Daoist Huangfu, this is the first-grade Yuanyang Pill you want.
“Eighteen of them are of inferior quality, and the other thirty-two are of inferior quality.”
After both of them sat at the round table in the small hall, Song Jie took out the ceramic jar containing the first-grade Yuanyang Pill and handed it to Huangfu God.
Huangfu God did not open it to inspect the goods, but directly put the ceramic jar into the storage bag.
Then he chuckled and said, “Fellow Daoist Song’s talent for alchemy is truly remarkable.
“The first-grade elixir that I just mastered was actually of lower quality so quickly, and a lot of it was refined.
“Even in the Alchemy Sect, I’m afraid there are few people who can compare to Fellow Daoist Song.
“Perhaps Mu Lingxuan can be compared with fellow Taoist Song.
“No wonder Mu Lingxuan invited fellow Taoist Song last time to talk about alchemy together next time we meet.
“It seems that Mu Lingxuan’s vision is indeed extraordinary…”
When Song Jie heard this, he smiled modestly.
“The main reason is that I have Golden Horn to assist me, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to refine so many first-grade low-grade Yuanyang Pills.”
“Golden horn?” A trace of doubt flashed in Huangfu’s eyes, and then he suddenly said: “It must be the one-horned alchemy beast.”
“Exactly, I named it Golden Horn, hahaha…”
“That’s a good name.”
Huangfu Shen blinked and looked at Jinjiao, who was napping at Song Jie’s feet.
“It seems that Fellow Daoist Song is getting along well with Golden Horn. It won’t be long before the beast control circle restricts its movements.”
This kind of elementary beast control circle can only play a restrictive role when the monster is weak.
As the monster grows, the circle of control will gradually lose its function, and it will be easily torn off by the monster.
This requires the monks to establish an emotional bond with the monster when it is weak and completely gain the monster’s approval.
Song Jie nodded lightly and said with a smile: “Jin Jiao’s character is relatively docile.
“In addition, I happen to be an alchemist, so it is willing to follow me.”
“It seems that what I said that day was right. This unicorn alchemy beast appeared just for Fellow Daoist Song.”
God Huangfu chuckled, with a hint of deep meaning flashing in his eyes.
Song Jie poured tea for God Huangfu and said with a smile: “Thanks to fellow Taoist Huangfu…
“Fellow Taoist Huangfu mentioned in the transmission just now that there are three methods of foundation building. I wonder which three methods they are?”
After a few words of greeting, Song Jie went directly to the topic and asked the question that he had been thinking about.
Hearing this, God Huangfu said with a smile: “I think the only way to build a foundation that Fellow Daoist Song knows so far is to take a foundation-building pill to build a foundation, right?”
“It is indeed as Taoist friend Huangfu said, and I would like to ask fellow Taoist Huangfu for advice.”
“Then I will talk to fellow Taoist Song about this foundation building.”
God Huangfu rarely stopped smiling and said seriously: “The so-called foundation building means building the foundation of the great road.
“This step is extremely important for any monk.
“Most monks’ understanding of foundation building is to take foundation building pills to build the foundation, in order to break through the cultivation level to the foundation building stage.
“But few monks know that taking the Foundation Establishment Pill to build the foundation is actually cutting off the path to immortality.”
“Self-destructing the path to immortality?” Song Jie was shocked when he heard this.
He originally thought that there might be some disadvantages to taking the Foundation Establishment Pill to build the foundation, but he did not expect that this disadvantage would directly interrupt the path to immortality.
If you don’t know anything, you will take the Foundation Establishment Pill to establish your foundation in a daze.
In the future, after cultivating to a higher level, you suddenly find that the path to immortality has been cut off, how tragic it will be…
However, this foundation-building method of cutting off the path to immortality is the most widely circulated in the world of immortality.
This really made Song Jie feel a little hard to accept.
Huangfu Shen glanced at Song Jie, as if he guessed what the other person was thinking, and immediately laughed.
“Do you feel something bad in your heart?
“Strictly speaking, taking the Foundation Building Pill to build a foundation is not actually a true foundation building.
“There are only two types of true foundation building: heavenly foundation building and earthly foundation building.
“As for the foundation building pill, it’s just a mortal foundation building.
“How can I become an immortal if I am a mortal?”
“Building the foundation of the heavenly way, building the foundation of the earthly way, building the foundation of the mortal way…
“Mortals cannot become immortals…”
Song Jie lowered his head to taste Huangfu Shen’s words, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
The more he thought about it, the more desperate Song Jie felt for the monks at the bottom.
After a while, Song Jie raised his head and said with burning eyes:
“So the reason why the mortal foundation-building method is so widely circulated is that the real people in power are cultivating a group of tool men to serve them?
“If the low-level monks do not have certain opportunities, they are destined to be unable to turn over…”
“Tool man…” God Huangfu laughed and said, “This word is used well and wonderfully!
“Fellow Daoist Song is right, in the eyes of those in power, the low-level monks are just a group of tools.
“The spread of Mortal Dao Foundation Building is just to give this group of tool people a seemingly hope, but in fact it does not exist at all.
“Only those who build foundations in heaven and earth can be qualified to attack the Immortal Road in the future.”
When Song Jie heard this, he did not rush to ask God Huangfu about the methods of heavenly foundation building and underground foundation building. Instead, he asked: “What Taoist friend Huangfu told me today cannot be easily revealed to the public…” “
If this cruel truth were known to those low-level monks, it would inevitably cause widespread riots.
There are even many monks who have established a foundation in the mortal world. After learning this news, their Taoist hearts will be shattered.
“Fellow Daoist Song is indeed a smart man. Of course, this kind of news cannot be disclosed to the outside world casually.
“If it spreads, it will offend the interests of those in power, and cause widespread riots.
“The final result is that those who spread the news and the low-level monks who know the truth will be wiped out.”
As he spoke, Huangfu Shen even scratched his neck with his hand.
Song Jie had already expected this consequence, but he did not show any excessive surprise.
He put his hands together and saluted God Huangfu sincerely.
“Thank you, Taoist Fellow Huangfu, for telling me this today. If Fellow Taoist Huangfu needs any help in the future, just ask.
“As long as it’s not something harmful to nature, I will do my best to help fellow Taoist Huangfu.”
Although this is just a piece of news, in Song Jie’s opinion, this news is far more important than a luck beast.
This piece of news may directly change his future destiny.
So Song Jie sincerely expressed his gratitude to the other party.
God Huangfu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and smiled.
“Don’t worry, Fellow Daoist Song, if I really need your help in the future, I will definitely not be polite to you.
“Of course, I won’t let your work go in vain. There will definitely be benefits for Fellow Daoist Song when the time comes.”
“This news from fellow Taoist Huangfu is the greatest benefit to me.
“Fellow Daoist Huangfu, please rest assured, I will not disclose it to anyone at will.”
If you tell others this kind of news casually, it will not only harm yourself, but also others.
If those in power are really held accountable, no one will survive.
Song Jie still has this sense of propriety.
“Hahaha… Fellow Daoist Song just needs to take matters into his own hands.”
God Huangfu smiled indifferently and seemed not to care whether Song Jie would disclose the information about mortal foundation building to the outside world.
Song Jie nodded lightly and did not continue to delve deeper into this topic. Instead, he asked: “I think that the methods of heavenly Dao foundation building and underground Dao foundation building should be in the hands of the major forces, right?”
God Huangfu nodded approvingly and said, “What Taoist Fellow Song said is right.
“The so-called tunnel foundation building is a way of building a foundation with the help of earth vein spiritual energy.
“This earth vein spiritual energy cannot be seen everywhere. In Yunmo Continent, there is only one place where earth vein spiritual energy can be produced.
“And the output is extremely rare, and all of them are firmly in the hands of the major forces.
“There are very few ordinary monks, let alone those who have obtained the spiritual energy of the earth’s veins, who know the spiritual energy of the earth’s veins.
“Even within the major forces, not just anyone can know about the existence of the earth’s spiritual energy.”
Having said this, God Huangfu picked up the tea cup again and took a sip.
“And the foundation building of heavenly path is much more difficult than the foundation building of earth path.
“Underground foundation building relies on the energy of earth veins to build the foundation, while heavenly foundation building relies on the energy of heaven to build the foundation.
“The Qi of Heaven only exists in the heavenly realm and cannot be found in the earthly realm.
“But there is a secret realm called the ‘Secret Realm of Tongtian’. Although the road to the sky has been cut off, the energy of heaven escapes from the heaven into the secret realm of Tongtian.
“If you want to build the foundation of heaven, you can enter this secret realm that reaches the sky and look for the energy of heaven that escapes from the heaven.”
When Song Jie heard this, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly and said: “There should be a quota limit for entering this secret realm, and these quotas are all in the hands of major forces.”
“Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Song, you are right again!” God Huangfu chuckled and continued: “There is no clear rule for the opening time of the Tongtian Secret Realm.
“It may be opened once every few decades, or it may be opened only once every few hundred years.
“The entrance to the secret realm is not fixed. Every time it is opened, the entrance will appear in a different place.
“But no matter how the entrance changes, one thing never changes.
“That is, every continent has one and only one entrance to the secret realm.
“After the entrance to the secret realm appears, the number of monks that can enter is also limited.
“There is no fixed number of how many people can enter, and every situation is different.
“But the quota to enter the Tongtian Secret Realm is indeed in the hands of the major forces as Daoist Fellow Song said.”
“This is really disappointing…” Song Jie felt helpless.
According to what Huangfu God said, ordinary monks, even if they know that there are two methods of foundation building: heavenly foundation building and underground foundation building.
In the end, you may still have to choose mortal foundation building.
After all, whether it is the earth’s spiritual energy or the quota to enter the Secret Realm of Heaven, all are firmly in the hands of the major forces.
For the monks at the bottom, there is no hope at all.
Since there is no hope, it is really better to be kept in the dark and not know anything.
At least when you don’t know anything, you will still be full of hope for your future life, and you will also have energy and motivation.
God Huangfu chuckled.
“As the saying goes, there must be a road before a car reaches the mountain, and it will be straight when a boat reaches the bridge.
“This method is always more difficult than it is, and there is no need to be discouraged, Fellow Daoist Song.
“Also, I received a piece of gossip some time ago.
“A piece of news about the next opening time of the Tongtian Secret Realm…”
