Chapter 32: The End of the Chapter, the Elders Visit
Chapter 32: Returning from the Exercise, the Elders Visit
After coming out of the excitement of the promotion, Wei Zhong discovered that more than three months had passed since he started to build his foundation.
The time passed so quickly that I didn't even feel it was real.
Wei Zhong gathered his overflowing aura. He had just established his foundation and was not yet able to control it freely.
I'm afraid everyone in the market has forgotten about me, an old farmer. And the few acres of spiritual fields, Wei Zhong disappeared for more than three months, according to the rules of Qingmu Sect, they will be taken back.
There is no point in going back now, so it is better to spend some time consolidating my cultivation.
With this thought in mind, Wei Zhong closed his eyes, practiced his skills, and entered the state of cultivation again.
A month passed in the blink of an eye. Wei Zhong stood up from the practice room, stretched, and let out a comfortable groan.
Practicing is really hard. His eyes moved slightly and he shifted his attention to the panel.
【Name: Wei Zhong】
[Cultivation: Foundation Building Level 5 (%)]
[Kung Fu: Spring and Autumn Water Refining Technique·Mastery (42%); Health-preserving Kung Fu·Mastery (83%)]
【Shouyuan: 115/240】
In just one month of consolidating his cultivation, he had advanced the first level of foundation building by 5%. This speed was quite astonishing.
But Wei Zhong knew that his past cultivation would not be so easy and quick. This was just the result of him striking while the iron was hot while he had just established his foundation and his realm was unstable.
There is also the foundation-building realm divided into nine levels. According to the jade slips recorded by Senior Bai He, this is the realm of the new method.
Unlike the methods of ancient times, which only divide the Qi Refining into specific levels, the subsequent stages are divided into three major stages: early, middle and late stages.
The new method has its advantages. Qi refining, foundation building, and even the subsequent Dan formation, Yuanying, etc. are all divided into nine levels. It is more convenient to level up by yourself, isn't it?
However, out of tradition, today's cultivators often use large stage terms, such as the early stage and middle stage of foundation building to describe the realm of others.
Wei Zhong shook his robe and exhaled a breath of foul air.
The progress of mastering "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Art" can be said to be extremely fast. The foundation building level was raised from 18% to 42% in one go, and it only took four months.
The Health Preserving Skills had been somewhat slack because of the foundation-building issue, but it had also been improved to 83%, which was not far from the master level.
What is more important is life span.
Once the foundation is established, the life span will immediately increase to two hundred and forty years. Now, his bone age is only over a hundred years old, which is considered to be in the prime of life. There is still plenty of time to waste, no, to practice.
Now that I have achieved my foundation, I can feel a little relieved. Before, I was always worried that my secrets would be discovered by the big guys, and I had a serious lack of sense of security.
Now that I have opened the Way of Time, casting a spell once will consume twelve years of my lifespan and I will reach the middle stage of foundation building. Casting a spell twice will consume twenty-four years of my lifespan and I will reach the late stage of foundation building. In forty-eight years, I can directly enter the stage of Jindan and be called a real person.
In the world of immortal cultivation, he is a person who can establish his own sect.
Although this state can only be maintained for an hour, it is also a trump card.
Ordinary cultivators can only hide one or two small tricks, but I have a Taoist method. Who can hide a great realm better than me?
"Go back, go back."
He also had to go back and check on his spiritual fields. Although the spiritual rice in them was not worth many spirit stones, he was a foundation-building cultivator after all, and he couldn't let others occupy his fields.
Walking out of the training room, Wei Zhong smiled as he looked at Da Jin gurgling at him.
He raised his hand and got a bottle of Soul-Feeding Pills.
"I have successfully built my foundation. I am happy today and I will give you this as a reward."
After saying this, Wei Zhong paused, as if he had forgotten something.
He slapped his head and took out a birdcage from the spirit beast bag, inside which was the listless Jiucai.
He was building his foundation but forgot to release it.
Making it stay in the spirit beast bag for four full months was a torture for Jiucai, who often watched the stars and the moon.
Fortunately, he felt the abundant spiritual energy in the cave, and the anthropomorphic expression relaxed for a moment.
But he was soon frightened by a big fish by the pond. It flew out of the cage with two gurgling sounds, flapping its wings and hovering in the air.
But Da Jin thought that Wei Zhong had found some snacks for it, and was pushing its big mouth towards the birdcage.
Wei Zhong laughed and scolded:
"You lazy bird, you usually don't make any noises no matter how I tease you, but now you are scared by this fool and you make noises."
Wei Zhong threw a bottle of Soul-Feeding Pills into the air, which was caught by Jiucai's little mouth.
Then he touched Da Jin's fat fish head and whispered:
"Get along well."
Then he flashed and left the cave.
The big jin in the cave seemed to understand that the bird above its head was not food, but its companion. It moved its fat body, took a lotus pod from the pond and held it in its mouth. After making two meaningless gurgling sounds, it stared at the mixed-feather parrot in the sky with a silly look...
Flying in the air with the magic sword, the Qi-refining cultivators passing by did not dare to look directly at Wei Zhong's face, for fear that this Foundation Establishment senior had a hot temper.
He just watched from afar the escaping light whose speed far exceeded that of the Qi Refining level, with one part of awe and nine parts of envy on his face.
'After all, he is a foundation-building cultivator, and his level is different.'
Wei Zhong stepped on the flying sword and sighed.
The spiritual power of the foundation is so strong that the speed of flying the weapon is naturally very fast, but the level of the magic sword under his feet is a little too low.
It was a first-grade, mid-quality magic sword that Wei Zhong had bought decades ago. It seemed a bit cheap when paired with a sword that he had just built.
By the way, Liu Di and the other two haven't had time to search their storage bags yet, but they can check later to see if there is a suitable magic sword in them.
Wei Zhong flew into Mingyue Market, and the disciple guarding the gate saw a strange cultivator entering the market and tried to stop him.
There was no difficulty for the two young Qi-refining cultivators. They showed their spiritual field credentials and entered safely.
"I didn't expect that he was a new foundation-building cultivator. This spiritual farmer can also build a foundation. It's really good luck."
"Be quiet. The senior hasn't gone far yet. Be careful not to be heard by him. You'll be in big trouble."
The latter quickly covered his mouth.
The Qingmu Sect disciple on the opposite side thought that this matter should be reported to the sect as soon as possible, maybe he could get some merit, so he blurted out:
"A new foundation building has been added to the market. I have to go report to the elders. You just watch here..."
Wei Zhong did not return to his own Lingtian courtyard, but went to find Ning Cankun first.
"Brother Chu!"
Ning Cankun was overjoyed when he saw Wei Zhong. He quickly sat up from the rattan chair, came forward and said enthusiastically:
"I heard that you took the elixir and went to the outside of the sect that day. You didn't come back for four months. I thought something happened to you. Now you are finally back. How about building your foundation?"
Wei Zhong smiled casually and slightly opened his arms, revealing his foundation-building skills:
"Of course it's done."
"Okay, then I have to call you senior."
Wei Zhong smiled:
"Brother Ning, you are joking. There is no need for us to be so formal. We agreed to drink. Come, try my improved version of Qingluo Zui."
When Ning Cankun heard about the spiritual wine, his eyes seemed to light up and he even drooled at the corners of his mouth.
"Then I want to have a good taste."
The two of them then sat in a corner, drinking spirit wine and chatting about the major events that had happened in recent days.
Ning Cankun took a sip of his drink:
"Brother Chu, don't worry about those few acres of spiritual fields. Although according to the rules, if there is no spiritual farming in three months, the fields will be taken back, but I suppressed it with my own authority.
I also hired someone to take care of the crops in the spiritual field, and I harvested one crop these days. After deducting the hiring fee, there are still these spiritual stones left."
After saying this, he took out dozens of spirit stones and placed them on the table.
Although these spirit stones are nothing to Wei Zhong, Ning Cankun's friendship is very precious.
Wei Zhong took most of it with a smile and pushed the rest back in front of Ning Cankun.
The latter did not refuse and accepted it.
"I still have to thank Brother Ning."
Ning Cankun waved his hand, indicating that you’re welcome.
“Brother Chu, I don’t know what happened during the days you were away. Four months ago, an inner sect disciple in the inner alchemy hall suddenly disappeared.
It was originally just a small matter, but since he happened to be a first-class alchemist, it still attracted attention in the sect."
Wei Zhong understood that the other party was giving him a warning, and pretended to be surprised:
"A first-level alchemist is no small figure. How could he disappear just like that?"
Ning Cankun nodded:
"Who knows? Maybe he was unlucky enough to run into that robbery cultivator and die."
Wei Zhong lamented:
"The cultivation world is indeed cruel. Even if you join a Jindan sect like Qingmu Sect, you can't guarantee safety."
Ning Cankun touched his red and swollen face and asked:
"Brother Chu, what are your plans after building your foundation? Will you continue to be a casual cultivator, or will you join our Qingmu Sect? I have some knowledge of yours..."
Before he finished speaking, a voice came from outside the door:
"Elder Xu from the Qingmu Sect's Dharma Hall is here to visit!"
It’s going to be recommended soon, everyone hurry up and invest, make some money!!!
