Chapter 30: The Method of Building the Heavenly Dao Foundation

"Junior Brother Lu, are you satisfied with this cave?"

Ji Chang, an inner sect disciple of Danyang Peak, pointed to the cave in front of him that was connected from north to south and had magic arrays such as "Gathering Spirits" and "Guarding" inside, and looked at Lu Chen with a smile.

"That's it, Brother Ji."

"Okay, then keep this cave jade talisman. It's not a big deal if you lose it, but it will be quite troublesome to replace it."

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

"No way, Junior Brother Lu, since you have entered our Danyang Peak, you are a member of our Danyang Peak."

"We, the disciples of Danyang Peak, are all of the same blood. It is my duty to take care of you. How can it be a trouble?"

At this point, Ji Chang talked to Lu Chen about what he was going to do in the future.

"Junior Brother Lu, the sect will not have too many requirements for you in this first year of membership. You just need to concentrate on your training and patiently study the way of alchemy."

"And after one year, you will start to complete the sect's mission, which is to refine a batch of elixirs required for the sect's disciples to practice every year."

"You don't have to worry about affecting your normal practice because of alchemy. The sect doesn't ask us to make too many pills, and it usually takes a few months to complete."

"Besides, the sect will not treat you unfairly. Every time you complete a task, you will receive a certain amount of contribution points as a reward."

"These contribution points can not only be used to exchange for cultivation resources, but also for some relatively precious skills and spells within the sect."

"Inside the sect, contribution points are much more useful than spirit stones. You will know it in the future, Junior Brother."

"So, Junior Brother Lu, do you have any questions? I can answer them one by one."

Lu Chen in reality looked at what Ji Chang said in the game.

His hands immediately turned into afterimages on the screen, and he began to type out the questions he wanted to ask.

"Brother, do you know anything about foundation building?"

How to build the foundation is the issue that Lu Chen is most concerned about right now.

Although Los Angeles No. 1 Middle School has explained this issue.

But it was just mentioned briefly without going into details.

It’s not that the teachers at No. 1 Middle School are hiding their personal interests, but that they don’t want their students to be too ambitious.

Although Lu Chen is only at the fourth level of the Qi training stage, as long as he wants, he can reach the peak of the Qi training stage in a short period of time.

Therefore, knowing some things about foundation building now is not considered beyond the scope.

In response to Lu Chen's question, Ji Chang bared his teeth and said, "Hiss, Junior Brother Lu, your question is really a bit tricky."

"But even though I am only at the seventh level of human foundation building, I can still give you some answers."

"As we all know, this so-called foundation building is the process of a cultivator gathering Qi and transforming into a physical form."

"If we use alchemy as an analogy, then building the foundation is equivalent to refining medicinal materials into liquid medicine, taking the essence and discarding the dross."

"So the better the quality of a cultivator's spiritual roots, the easier it will be to build a foundation, and the purer the spiritual fluid will be."

"This first step may not be difficult for others, but for a mixed spiritual root like you... it is a bit troublesome."

"Why?"

Ji Chang took out a wine gourd, shook it and gave an example: "The so-called spiritual roots, in essence, refer to the cultivator's affinity for spiritual power."

"The higher the affinity, the higher the corresponding spiritual root qualification will naturally be."

"And Junior Brother, your mixed spiritual roots show that you have a certain affinity for most of the five elements of spiritual power."

"Of course, this will allow you to practice a variety of skills and magical powers, but it will also make you lose focus and distract from your original talents."

"Not to mention that when building the foundation, the difficulty of having a single spiritual root and having mixed spiritual roots is completely different."

"If a single spiritual root is compared to a bowl of clear water, then mixed spiritual roots are a bowl of colorful water."

"When building the foundation, a single spiritual root only needs to pick out the impurities in the clean water and then put it into the bottle prepared in advance."

"As for the mixed spiritual roots, not only must the impurities in the water be picked out, but the water must also be introduced into the container in batches according to the order of the five elements' mutual generation and mutual restraint to prevent their original balance from being disrupted."

"Which of the two is easier or harder? Junior Brother Lu, you should understand, right?"

"And if you want to reach the foundation building level above the earth level, then it will be even more difficult."

"The first step you need to take is to make each of your spiritual root attributes reach a qualitative change. Fire becomes extraordinary fire, water becomes extraordinary water, and wood becomes extraordinary wood..."

"When refining the elixir, I see that you already have a special magical fire, so you don't have to worry about the fire spirit root."

"You need to cultivate other magical skills right now so that the remaining spiritual roots can also achieve qualitative changes."

"In this way, you will have a slight chance of achieving a foundation above the ground level."

"Of course, these are not the only things that need to be prepared when building the foundation. Auxiliary natural treasures, magic array pills and the like are also indispensable."

"Only when you have all these conditions, you are fully prepared and can try to build your foundation."

"I don't know if you understand my explanation, Junior Brother Lu?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After hearing this, Lu Chen fell silent.

He had thought that it would be difficult to build a foundation with mixed spiritual roots, but he didn't expect that it would be so difficult.

Let alone anything else, just the fact that he has cultivated five special magical powers.

This is enough to dissuade most of the cultivators with mixed spiritual roots.

You have to know that Lu Chen cultivated the 'Purple Cloud Divine Fire' at the cost of a huge amount of experience points.

If ordinary people really rely on themselves to practice, it will take at least dozens or even hundreds of years.

But the lifespan of a cultivator in the Qi training stage is at most one hundred and fifty years.

Lu Chen didn't know if he could cultivate five special magical powers during the Qi training period without the help of experience points.

What kind of amazing talent does one have to have to be able to achieve this?

Fortunately, he has the help of real cultivation, and can exchange experience points for time.

In this way, although it is still not easy for him to build the foundation above the tunnel, it is not impossible to complete.

In general, what he needs to do now is very clear.

1. Raise your cultivation to the peak of the Qi training stage to meet the most basic conditions for building a foundation.

Second, before the foundation-building stage, learn the special magical powers corresponding to the five spiritual root attributes to increase the probability of high-quality foundation-building.

3. Prepare a large amount of auxiliary supplies such as elixirs, magic arrays, etc. used for foundation building.

After completing these three items, Lu Chen felt that he was almost ready to start building his foundation.

As for his cultivation, Lu Chen was not in a hurry with his current cultivation speed.

It is basically a foregone conclusion that you will reach the peak of the Qi training stage before the college entrance examination.

What really gave Lu Chen a headache was actually cultivating a special magical power similar to the 'Purple Cloud Divine Fire' to bring about a qualitative change in his spiritual roots.

"Of the five qualitative changes, one has already been completed by chance, leaving four."

"And finding a special technique comparable to the 'Purple Cloud Health-Preserving Technique' is obviously not an easy task."

"Fortunately, Qingyun Sect is a famous sect in the world. There are a vast number of skills and magical powers in the sect. In the first year of becoming an outer disciple, you can choose a skill or magical power from the sect to learn for free."

"The Five Spirits Primordial Art was given to me by the sect when I was a menial disciple. Although this technique may not be very powerful, it is stable and more in line with my spiritual root attributes. I don't need to change it for the time being."

"In this case, I'd better leave this opportunity to magic."

Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately asked Ji Chang to take him to the Qingyun Sect's Sutra Library...
