Chapter 17: Ancient and Modern Foundation Building

Xu Xing noticed Zhang Yunlu, and she also saw Xu Xing standing in front of the counter after she came in.

what?
Did you read that right?

This is what happened?
Zhang Yunlu was a little confused. She was tortured by that scene all night last night, and when she woke up today, she was inexplicably promoted to the ninth level of Qi training.

So after breakfast, I ran to the mall, intending to look at the spiritual medicine for preparing the foundation-building spiritual liquid, so as to prepare for the subsequent foundation-building.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she still walked up to Xu Xing.

"Hello again, little girl. Although I thought we would definitely meet again, I didn't expect fate to come so soon."

"...I didn't expect that either." Zhang Yunlu paused, "The scene that appears in my mind every night, is it you who did it?"

"To some extent, it should be, but witnessing the great masters of Hedao fighting with your own eyes is also a good opportunity for your current cultivation." Xu Xing smiled and said, "How is it, have you learned anything in the past two days?"

"Comprehension? Does it count as me having reached the ninth level of Qi training?"

"emm..."

Zhang Yunlu: “…”

Okay, there's nothing more to say now.

At this moment, the salesperson came out and handed the empty storage ring to Xu Xing: "Hello, customer, the number of spirit stones has been checked. This is your storage ring."

"Thank you."

Xu Xing took the storage ring and threw it over, and Zhang Yunlu quickly caught it.

"You probably don't have space equipment yet, so I'll give this to you."

Zhang Yunlu was stunned. Could this be the nice little gift he mentioned last time?

The salesperson who witnessed all this was filled with envy. The storage ring was not cheap, and the spirit stones that were just in it were only enough to make up a small portion of it.

"Let's go, let's go out and talk. Since I said I would give you a nice little gift, I won't break my promise."

Ok?
Aren’t you referring to this storage ring?

Zhang Yunlu put on the storage ring and hurriedly followed Xu Xing.

When we arrived at the door, the receptionists on both sides bowed slightly.

“Welcome next time.”

Zhang Yunlu paid no attention to what they said and followed behind Xu Xing. She felt very nervous but also a little excited.

Not long after they walked, Xu Xing slowed down and let Zhang Yunlu walk side by side with him.

"To be honest, I'm a little surprised to meet you here today."

Accident?
"Shouldn't practitioners at a high level be able to predict the future?"

"That doesn't mean you have to calculate everything. Besides, if you meet someone by calculation, can you still call it 'destined'?" Xu Xing chuckled. "Let's get back to business. With your current state, you can't control a powerful magic weapon even if I give it to you. I will first tell you how to practice next."

Zhang Yunlu was concentrating.

"Since you have already reached the ninth level of Qi training, the next thing you should consider is foundation building. Has the school told you about the grades of foundation building?"

The grades of foundation building... Zhang Yunlu thought for a moment and replied, "The teachers in school haven't taught it yet, but I heard that there are three grades of foundation building."

"The lowest level is after reaching the seventh level of Qi training, taking the Barrier Breaking Spiritual Liquid to build a foundation. This kind of foundation is superficial, and some cannot even beat stronger Qi training practitioners, and there is no hope of further progress, so it is also called a false foundation."

"The intermediate foundation building is achieved after a cultivator is promoted to the ninth level of Qi training and takes foundation building spirit liquid or foundation building pills. This is also the most orthodox method of foundation building at present."

"As for the superior level, not only must the practitioner himself reach a state of full spiritual power, but he must also swallow a spiritual power storage capsule when he is promoted, and at the same time use the spiritual energy cabin to atomize the purified foundation-building spiritual liquid to accelerate absorption. Only when all three conditions are met can there be a chance of building a superior foundation."

That was all she knew.

Xu Xing seemed to be thinking about something.

Pseudo foundation building, barrier-breaking spiritual liquid, spiritual energy storage capsule, spiritual energy cabin, foundation building spiritual liquid purification and atomization?

Has the current foundation-building technology developed to be so 'scientific'?
Moreover, the seventh level of Qi training could actually build a foundation, which he had never even heard of before he went into seclusion.

"During a retreat, the world changed drastically, and many things that I didn't understand appeared." If this is the case even for the foundation-building stage, have more scientific methods of advancement been summarized for the subsequent realms?

"Let me tell you about the three types of foundation building that I know of. They are somewhat different from what you said."

"The first type is foundation building, which is supplemented by external substances. Just like what you just mentioned, taking foundation building pills is probably this type."

In ancient times, there were people who sought spiritual objects from heaven and earth and refined them into their foundation, or who built their foundation based on a magical power, and these could also be counted as the first category.

This kind of combat power is not low, but its methods are too simple, so it was eliminated long ago.

"The second type of foundation building requires collecting the sun's essence, condensing the moon's essence, refining the starlight, refining the root bones and spiritual power, taking the rare treasures of heaven and earth, and extracting their divine essence. Once it is accomplished, the foundation of Taoism will be perfect, and it will be a natural foundation of Taoism."

The natural foundation of Taoism is also called the perfect foundation of Taoism. Not only does it have certain requirements for the cultivation method, but the process is also extremely dangerous.

After all, the essence of the sun and the moon are extremely violent to those who practice Qigong. If they are not careful, they will die.

"As for the third type of foundation building, to cultivate the supreme secret, one must also comprehend the superficial knowledge of principles, laws, and intentions, and seize the fortune of heaven and earth. After building it, one will have all kinds of incredible abilities, which are the foundation of the way of fortune."

Principle, law, and intention.

That is a realm that practitioners can only access after they have achieved the state of harmony with the Dao. And how many realms are there between the state of harmony with the Dao and the state of foundation building?

The difficulty involved is self-evident.

Therefore, there are not many practitioners in the entire Taixuan Realm who can build this third type of Taoist foundation.

Seizing the creation of heaven and earth, invading the mystery of sun and moon.

According to mythology, this is the secret of immortality passed down by Patriarch Bodhi to the Monkey King.

When they first created this kind of foundation-building method, they also made some references, but their magical level is definitely not comparable to this one.

Zhang Yunlu looked dazed after listening to what Xu Xing said.

They are the same three types of foundation building, but the gap between the ancient and modern times is too big, isn't it?!
But why did she know so much less?
"Don't think too much about it. If I'm not mistaken, the school is worried that you are too ambitious, and it's not intentionally hiding anything."

Even the magical powers of the seven major immortal sects were sent to the high school library, so it would be even more impossible to deliberately conceal a method of foundation building.

Although there are many human practitioners in the Taixuan Realm today, there are still too few high-level practitioners, which is far from enough.

"The cultivation system will only get better with each generation. What I have said may already be outdated. I suggest that you return to school and report your own realm later."

Although Xu Xing is confident, he is never conceited, and he will never underestimate the wisdom of practitioners around the world.

The two of them had already walked to the entrance of the mall.

A young man wearing black sportswear and sunglasses walked into the mall, followed by two bald strong men in suits and leather shoes.

The two sides passed each other and Xu Xing and Zhang Yunlu left the mall.

The young man took off his sunglasses after entering the mall, turned around and said, "Separate yourselves and buy everything as quickly as possible."

"Yes!"

Then one person walked to one side, and the young man went to the second floor.

"Alas, I am so unlucky."

He was very depressed.

I just came here to practice swordplay, but ended up running into a series of annoying things.

First, a cultivator came out of seclusion, and then he met a senior demon who was refining the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. As a result, not only did he fail to refine the banner, but he himself was also killed. Even the old demon Hedao who appeared later had one arm chopped off.

The small city of Xuanjian has inexplicably become the focus of attention of bigwigs from all sides.

When the two brothers reminded him, he also wanted to escape from this damn place!

But the problem is that he can't escape. The old demon Hedao, whose arm was cut off, is staring at him. He even has to help him collect elixirs and monster blood to recover from his injuries.

Mudd!

What are these things!
