Chapter 143 Foundation 4
Since the battle at Zihuai Mountain, the three southeastern counties have been peaceful for a while. Zhao Xinlian of Qingxuan Sect also took his disciples to Shuangjiao Mountain and cooperated with You Nianwei to prepare to guard this stronghold deepest into the southern wilderness.
Both of them are cultivators of the Zifu period. They have a large number of disciples. In addition, they have recruited some casual cultivators. There are already more than a hundred monks on Shuangjiao Mountain. In a few hundred years, there will be another Black Mountain.
Since refining the Sanyang Pill, Zhang Zhixuan has spent another peaceful period. Today, he has finally reached the bottleneck and is ready to take the spiritual pill to break through.
Since he established the foundation, his journey has been relatively smooth. He has not encountered any bottlenecks in more than ten years, and has easily broken through two realms.
Today was the first time he encountered a bottleneck. Zhang Zhixuan felt a stagnation in his magic power and a stinging pain in his body. He took the Sanyang Pill without hesitation.
Sanyang Pill is full of fire and Yang energy. If Shuilinggen monks take it, it will immediately conflict with the magic power. Not only will it have no benefit, but it will also cause hidden dangers.
Zhang Zhixuan has been studying this elixir for six or seven years and is very familiar with its efficacy.
Any elixir basically contains erysipelas. Unless it is a rare high-grade natural treasure, it will not have any side effects.
Taking the elixir is a very serious matter. At the very least, you must understand the side effects of the elixir to avoid hidden dangers in the future.
Some monks from famous sects even have special elixir-making methods to eliminate erysipelas and refine various elixirs.
Monks from small families like Zhang Zhixuan naturally do not have the method of converting erysipelas. They can only rely on their own body regulation and long years to resolve erysipelas.
Therefore, as a casual cultivator, you must have the ability to self-discipline and not be tempted by various elixirs and easily take various elixirs with different effects.
There is a conflict between elixirs. You take a elixir with sufficient fire aura today and a elixir with sufficient water aura tomorrow.
The last elixir has not yet been refined, and taking another elixir that is incompatible with it is equivalent to planting a bomb in the body.
Since Zhang Zhixuan began to practice, he had insufficient resources in his early years and did not have the resources to take spiritual pills to practice.
Qingchan was quickly picked up after going down the mountain. After half a year of hard work, the two of them quickly found the Qingling Taiyi Pot thanks to her, and they no longer lacked cultivation resources.
The cup of spiritual water condensed by the Qingling Taiyi Pot every day, although rarely equivalent to one spiritual stone, is made of pure water spiritual energy without any impurities. It is enough for the two of them to practice, and they rarely take spiritual pills. .
After establishing the foundation, although he lost the Qingling Taiyi Pot, his family quickly cultivated the third-level spiritual veins. He practiced on the third-level spiritual veins and basically hasn’t taken any spiritual pills in more than ten years.
Zhang Zhixuan had a detailed prescription for the pill, and he clearly knew the weaknesses of taking Sanyang Pill.
After taking this elixir, the yang fire will be strong within three years, and there will be a feeling of depression in the blood, so one cannot practice in a spiritual place where the yang fire is strong.
Fortunately, the water and wood spiritual energy near Lingjing Mountain is the most abundant, so this weakness can be easily overcome.
After Zhang Zhixuan took the elixir, he felt a heat all over his body, and even his spirit felt manic. He suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and immediately used this heat to refine the medicinal power, crazily attacking the mana bottleneck.
Breaking the bottleneck is physically very painful, but having personally experienced the pain that penetrates the bone marrow when building a foundation, this kind of pain is almost insignificant to Zhang Zhixuan.
After three hours of hard work, he finally broke through the checkpoint and broke through the fourth level of foundation building at the age of forty, becoming a mid-stage foundation building monk.
Zhang Zhixuan’s progress has been very fast. Aunt Hanyan is a monk of the Binglinggen Qingxuan Sect. At the age of forty, her cultivation level is only the third level of foundation building, which is not as good as Zhang Zhixuan’s today. She was at the age of forty-two. He only broke through the middle stage of foundation building, two years later than Zhang Zhixuan.
Since Zhang Zhixuan broke through the realm, three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past three years, Zhang Zhixuan lived in the house next to the spiritual well almost every day. He even personally took care of the white jade beehive in the spiritual field.
In addition to refining one or two pots of elixir from time to time, Zhang Zhixuan has been polishing his strong yang energy almost every day for the past three years.
After three years of sitting in seclusion, the erysipelas of Sanyang Pill was finally completely worn away, and the hidden dangers on the body were eliminated.
This year is already Qingchan’s tenth year of practicing the soul-nurturing technique.
After ten years of practice, her soul has improved slightly. As long as she can successfully build the foundation, she can restore her soul and regain her lost soul. After a month or two of studying, you will be able to speak.
When Qing Chan was building the foundation, he not only had to go through three levels and three difficulties, but also had to concentrate on refining his soul. The task was even heavier than Zhang Zhixuan’s.
However, she is a Water Spiritual Root cultivator. This kind of Heavenly Spiritual Root cultivator has natural meridians and Dantian that are tougher than ordinary monks. She can successfully build the foundation even without the Foundation Establishment Pill, and the pain she endures is far less than Zhang Zhixuan.
Moreover, Qing Chan has been practicing Qi Accumulating Technique for a longer time. She is thirty-six years old this year and has been learning this magic for almost thirty years. She has refined a lot of purple Qi. With the help of innate purple Qi, she can build The probability of Ji is higher than that of Zhang Zhixuan.
Zhang Zhixuan was meditating by the spiritual well. Suddenly his seventh uncle Zhang Mengyuan came over in a hurry. He held a letter and handed it to Zhang Zhixuan respectfully.
Ever since he beheaded his fourteenth uncle Zhang Mengchen in Zihuai Mountain in the Southern Wilderness, the monks of the Meng generation in the family did not dare to regard him as a junior.
Although Qi Bo is nearly a hundred years old, he is still in good health. In recent years, he has not resigned from his position as an elder and returned to the mountain gate to take care of his old age. Instead, he has been staying in Lingjing Mountain to take care of the spiritual field.
With Zhang Zhixuan’s foundation building, especially after the completion of the spiritual measuring platform, the family’s finances have improved, and three hundred spiritual stones have been used to open up spiritual fields every year, and this has been going on for three years now.
Compared with when Zhang Zhixuan first came down from the mountain, twenty-seven years later, the family’s spiritual land has increased by almost fifteen acres. Now, at the foot of Lingjing Mountain, the Zhang family has successfully opened up forty-five acres of spiritual land.
Zhang Zhixuan took the letter and read it. The letter was from the patriarch Zhang Leqian.
It turns out that Zhou Wennian, the head of the Zhou family, had already made plans to move back after seeing that Hongliu Mountain had been peaceful for the past ten years.
The patriarch’s letter was to ask Zhang Zhixuan’s opinion.
The old head of the Zhou family, Zhou Wenjian, died at the mouth of the snake demon in Black Python Mountain. Another ninth-level Qi practitioner, Zhou Yanghu, also died of old age at Tiantai Peak. The current head of the Zhou family is the new patriarch Zhou Wennian.
“Zhou Wennian is over sixty years old, and he is still at the eighth level of Qi training. He is destined to have no hope of building a foundation. This person’s desire for power is not great. I don’t know why he must leave Lushan?”
Zhang Zhixuan couldn’t figure it out, so he decided to ask Zhou Wenian himself to see what he thought.
As for the monks and population of the Zhou family, Zhang Zhixuan still hopes to integrate them into the blood of the Zhang family. If Zhou Wenian can be persuaded to change his mind, Zhang Zhixuan is still willing to try it himself.
