Chapter 11: Health and Life Extension, Master-level Kung Fu
"But this inheritance matter has been going on for eight or nine months, and there is still no result. Isn't it a bit strange?"
"Haha, Brother Chu, you don't know this."
"Oh, could it be that Brother Ning has some gossip?"
Wei Zhong poured him a glass of wine and asked.
“Although there are multiple copies of the inheritance this time, each copy contains two items, one is the inheritance secret key, and the other is a jade slip of cultivation method, which contains a method called “Blood Body Method”.
This method is a method of cultivating an external incarnation. The difficulty of cultivation is so great that it has stopped a large number of cultivators.
It is said that if one does not reach a certain level in this method, even if one holds the secret key, there is no chance of obtaining the inheritance at all.”
"Shh! I didn't expect there was such a trick."
Wei Zhong thought of the jade slip of martial arts techniques that he had buried, and wondered if it had been discovered by anyone.
At the same time, he was also a little curious about this method. In order to avoid disaster that day, he didn't even have time to check the method. What kind of strict method could actually stop so many monks?
"Haha, you and I are just laughing at this rumor. Because of this method, a large number of cultivators in Hanzhu City died. The Nascent Soul method is a curse, not a blessing, for Qi Refining cultivators like us."
"Brother Ning, this makes sense."
The two clinked glasses.
On the way home, Wei Zhong was deep in thought.
"This inheritance of True Lord Xuehai has indeed caused a stir in the world of immortal cultivation, just as I expected. It was the right decision for me to abandon this method in the first place."
However, Wei Zhong was hesitant about whether to take this method back in the future.
As his practice deepened and he understood more about the path of immortal cultivation, Wei Zhong became more and more aware of the preciousness of the method of incarnation.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this kind of method is like creating another self, and it can be said to give the cultivator an extra life.
While thinking, he had returned to the courtyard, fed Jiucai, and cast aside all distracting thoughts in his mind.
Wei Zhong came to the training room.
At this time, his cultivation had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining (25%), and one year had not improved his cultivation much.
This is because his "Bilang Kung Fu" remained at the mastery level (99%).
According to this progress, it would take at least another four years for him to complete his Qi training. However, he only had two years left to live.
Will I be relegated again?
······
Two years later, Wei Zhong happily came out of his cultivation.
【Name: Wei Zhong】
[Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 65 (%)]
[Kung Fu: Bilang Kung·Mastery (99%); Health-preserving Kung Fu·Proficiency (1%)]
【Shouyuan: 137/142】
At the end of his life, his "Health-preserving Skill" finally made a breakthrough, healing some of his injuries and increasing his lifespan by five years.
This was truly a pleasant surprise. At the same time, Wei Zhong felt that the injuries on his body were far from being completely healed. Once his "Health Preserving Skills" made another breakthrough, his lifespan would surely increase further.
With these five years, my cultivation can be pushed forward to the next level.
Then Wei Zhong immersed himself in cultivation again.
What surprised Wei Zhong was that along with the breakthrough in "Health-preserving Kung Fu", "Bilang Kung Fu" also broke through to the master level.
【Blue Wave Kung Fu·Master (1%)】
"Could it be that Qigong is also related to the physical body?"
Wei Zhong had practiced for many years and had never heard of such a thing. But in the final analysis, a breakthrough in the technique was a good thing. In the short term, he didn't have to level up again. Perhaps he could consider building a foundation within five years?
In the following years, Wei Zhong practiced while secretly hiding his identity and inquiring about matters related to foundation building.
In ancient times, there were three levels of foundation building: essence, energy and spirit. Essence refers to the physical body, energy refers to the spiritual energy, and spirit refers to the soul. Breaking through all three levels is foundation building.
The current world of immortal cultivation has already separated these three levels, and those who break through one level are building the foundation.
At the same time, people also divide foundation building into physical cultivation, spiritual cultivation, and the most mysterious soul cultivation.
Spiritual cultivation is the largest type of cultivator in the world of immortal cultivation. Some cultivators will also cultivate their bodies to reduce their shortcomings.
As for the soul cultivation techniques, there are few rumors about them in this world, and only some cultivators have one or two soul cultivation secrets.
What Wei Zhong is currently considering is the path of spiritual practice.
Your cultivation is about to reach perfection in Qi Refining. As long as you find a Foundation Building Pill or one or two Foundation Building spiritual objects, you can consider trying to impact the Foundation Building stage.
However, you still have to be careful. You must be fully prepared for the breakthrough to build your foundation. Previous experience has shown that if you fail to break through, your realm will regress at best, and your foundation will be damaged at worst.
Wei Zhong didn't want this to affect his career.
Speaking of the Foundation Building Pill, it is interesting that Wei Zhong actually has a medicinal herb in his hand, which is an important auxiliary material needed to refine the Foundation Building Pill.
It seems to have been obtained from the three spiritual farmers. I wonder how the spiritual farmer from the Yan family got this kind of elixir. Is he preparing it for his own foundation building?
Wei Zhong shook his head. This was not important. What was important was that with this herb, Wei Zhong had the capital to work with others to refine the elixir.
Foundation-building pills are a rare commodity in the world of immortal cultivation, even in the Qingmu Sect where so many immortal cultivators gather.
The Qingmu Sect didn’t even have enough foundation-building pills of its own, and those that fell into the hands of the independent cultivators were even fewer.
However, the recipe for the Foundation Establishment Pill is not expensive in the Qingmu Sect and can be bought with just a few dozen spirit stones.
However, there are very few alchemists who can refine this pill. In Qingmu Sect, only Qi and Duan are able to refine it.
Therefore, a method of joint alchemy was developed in the Qingmu Sect.
Each cultivator collects the medicinal materials in the pill recipe, jointly invites the alchemist to refine the pill, and finally divides the pills according to their contribution.
The main material of the foundation-building pill is a 'Jade Marrow Ganoderma' that is over 300 years old, and the two important auxiliary materials are 'Thousand Knot Flowers' and 'Golden Ginseng' that are over 200 years old. There are more than 30 other auxiliary materials, but the age requirements are not high, and they are all common spiritual medicines that are easy to buy in every store.
In Wei Zhong's hand was a 200-year-old 'Golden Ginseng'.
With this magical medicine, as long as you find two other Taoist friends who possess the 'Jadeite Ganoderma' and the 'Thousand Knot Flower', you can pay the alchemist to help you make the elixir.
If three pills are made, Wei Zhong can take one pill from them and start to build his foundation.
Wei Zhong concealed his identity and posted the news of the joint alchemy on the public notice board in the market town.
Thirty-six spirit stones for one pill is not expensive for Wei Zhong, it is only the price of two top-grade Qi-nourishing Pills.
Over the years, in order to advance his cultivation more quickly, Wei Zhong had already replaced all of the low- and medium-grade Qi-nourishing Pills he used in his daily practice with high-grade ones.
"Could you please leave your address so that I can inform you when we have gathered all the people?"
Wei Zhong was using a disguised identity this time, so it was naturally impossible for him to tell his address. Wouldn't that expose Chu Zhong's alias?
"No need. I come here every three months to check on the progress of the call-up."
After leaving behind the name of Taoist Huai, Wei Zhong left the place.
In the following years, Wei Zhong practiced and honed his skills, and every three months he would check on the alchemy gathering.
What’s gratifying is that within just half a year, another fellow Taoist who possessed the main medicine was found.
At this point, the only thing missing is the main ingredient, the three hundred year old 'Jade Ganoderma'.
However, after waiting for three years, there was still no news of this miraculous medicine.
