"Foundation building is the true starting point of the path to immortality and the key step for mortals to shed their mortal bodies.
During this stage, the cultivator needs to condense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, temper the body, and open up the meridians throughout the body to lay a solid foundation for future practice.
Before building the foundation, one generally needs to find a place with abundant spiritual energy in order to absorb enough vitality from heaven and earth.
At the same time, adjusting your mentality is also crucial. You need to focus your mind and body so that you can better sense the heaven and earth and guide spiritual energy into your body.
When building the foundation, the cultivator uses a specific method to enter a deep meditation state, breathing in and out, resonating with the heaven and earth.
As the mental method was put into operation, the spiritual energy around seemed to be summoned and slowly gathered together, passing through the cultivator's pores, flowing along the meridians, and warming every inch of the body.
The vast spiritual energy enters the body, giving the whole body a feeling of fullness.
There may be severe pain when the meridians are unblocked, which requires an unyielding will to overcome.
As time goes by, when the spiritual energy in the cultivator's body reaches saturation, the meridians are completely opened, and the body is strengthened unprecedentedly, the moment of successful foundation building will come.
At this time, the cultivator will feel an unprecedented power surging in his body.
With his spirits rejuvenated and his lifespan extended, he officially entered the door of cultivating immortals and began the long journey of pursuing immortality and becoming a saint.
Successfully building the foundation is an important milestone on the road to immortality, and it also lays a solid foundation for the subsequent cultivation of the chain. It is the foundation for eternity and should be handled with extreme caution. "
Cheng Qian closed the book “Miscellaneous Methods of Foundation Building” again.
Close your eyes and recall what the book says.
These are some experiences written by foundation-building monks that were found in the Lingyun Sect’s Scripture Library.
After all, we have never built a foundation before.
I don't know what the rules of building the foundation are. What if I just rush in blindly and make mistakes?
This is not a clone. If it is gone, it is gone. It is just the loss of some origin.
This is the real body, if it’s gone, it’s really gone.
There were four jade bottles in front of him.
The first and largest one contains three foundation-building pills, which are pills to assist in breaking through to the foundation-building stage. They can provide a large amount of spiritual power and protect the meridians.
It ensures that even if you fail, you will have another chance.
The second one contains three Xingxin Pills, which are used to maintain clarity of mind when breaking through the major or minor realms.
The third one contains Guiyuan Dan, a healing pill for the foundation-building period.
The last one contains a Spirit Concentration Pill, one of which can provide spiritual power when transforming the foundation-building spiritual consciousness.
Cheng Qian recalled all the steps again, and then put the pills away in different categories.
Today he is going to build his foundation.
This is the capital city of Bibo Prefecture, a place of retreat specially prepared for monks who want to break through to a higher realm.
Although the city is covered by fourth-grade high-quality spiritual veins and has abundant spiritual energy, it does not mean that you can break through at any location.
These retreat caves are all built on the nodes of spiritual veins.
From the second to the fourth order.
That’s right, even if you want to break through the Nascent Soul stage, you can still find a suitable cave here, but the price is more expensive.
What Cheng Qian used was the second-level spiritual vein node.
He wrapped a foundation-building pill with magic power and swallowed it into his stomach.
Another foundation-building pill was pressed under the tongue in case of emergency.
There were no strange phenomena in the world, nor any thrills or excitement. It was just plain and ordinary. With the help of a large number of spirit stones, Cheng Qian succeeded in building his foundation.
"Damn it, all the preparations I made were in vain."
He now felt the abundance of magical power in his body, and his body had also undergone some changes.
After stabilizing the state, put away all preparations.
"Should I find a physical training method to practice?"
"Don't those novels all say that cultivating both the Dharma and the body is the best way to go?"
"Let's create the clone first, then we can find a book on body training. A real man must be hard!"
Cheng Qian's body was light and emitting the spiritual energy fluctuations of the first level of foundation building. This was because he had not yet adapted to the realm of the foundation building period.
No one paid attention to him along the way, after all, this was the provincial capital.
Golden elixirs are everywhere, while foundation-building is worse than dogs. This may be a bit exaggerated, but golden elixirs and foundation-building are indeed often seen.
After adapting to the foundation-building stage at home for a few days and completely settling into it, he began his mission of creating human figures.
He skillfully twisted out a middle-aged male monk who looked to be in his thirties and somewhat plump.
After putting on the clothes that I had bought earlier.
At first glance, he looks like a wealthy man or a businessman.
The cultivator with earth-grade fire spiritual roots, Chen Shiyan is online!
He handed over a storage bag, which contained his ID. This was a 100% authentic identity that he had bought with a thousand spirit stones.
A cultivator from Chongchuan County in the border area of the Purple Lion Dynasty, his family had been doing business for generations. During a robbery by bandits, his family was in trouble and he was the only one who survived, doing business outside.
These are all true and he is not afraid of being investigated. It is also Cheng Qian’s habit to do things in detail.
Chen Shiyan lived in the courtyard for a month.
Ten thousand spirit stones reached the second level of foundation building.
Eighteen thousand spirit stones reached the third level of foundation building.
...
A total of 240,000 spirit stones were spent to reach the seventh level of foundation building.
A terrifying pressure enveloped his entire body.
Cheng Qian looked at it with some envy. What a talent! It seems that the higher the realm, the more obvious the effect.
Once his spiritual root values are raised, and he has a spiritual root clone of heavenly grade or even above heavenly grade, he can’t imagine how powerful it will be.
He was not idle during this period. He used the remaining earth vein ginseng from last time and added a little bit of dragon bone frost liquid obtained from the Yu family to replenish the lost essence.
He felt that the value of his spiritual roots should have increased a little.
The exact number will have to wait until the next clone is pinched to know.
Now everything is ready, just need to see how to break the impasse.
In the middle of the night, Chen Shiyan left Cheng Qian's courtyard.
He is now a mature clone, and it is time for him to figure things out on his own.
Holding two hundred thousand spirit stones in his hand.
I am full of confidence. As long as I can find the key person, I should be able to easily buy a county magistrate position.
Ideals are full, but reality is skinny.
The mature clone Chen Shiyan returned to his loyal courtyard.
At this moment, he was sitting at the table staring at Cheng Qian.
"That doesn't make sense. Why don't you take the spirit stones?"
"Yeah, you can take other people's spirit stones, but not mine?"
“Is there a problem with your identity?”
"That's impossible. If they find a way to do this, they will not be able to do business if something goes wrong."
"How about taking the imperial examination?"
"Damn it, this place uses a recommendation system."
I am indeed a little worried. The late emperor died before he could start any business.
The two of them asked around in the city, and after combining various pieces of information, they finally found out the reason.
Sit down at the small table again.
"It's just that the world of immortal cultivation is so ruthless."
"The recommendation system requires recommendations from aristocratic families. This is useless. It solidifies the class system."
"They are all members of the old Purple Lion Banner. My father followed the first generation of Saint Emperor into the country."
"How about making a new one? Make a purple flame blood lion and go find the guardian beast in the imperial city to recognize him as a relative?"
"Forget it, forget it. He's a fifth-level demon that has transformed into a human form and is equivalent to a spirit. Don't get involved with him."
The Purple Lion Dynasty, there is a saying that the first Holy Emperor borrowed the name of his loyal partner, contracted monster, the fifth-order monster Purple Flame Blood Lion.
Monsters can live much longer than cultivators. The Holy Emperor of the dynasty is already in the fifth generation, nearly two thousand years, and this lion has just entered old age.
It can truly be considered a sacred beast that protects the country.
After running around the city for a few days and gathering information, Cheng Qian finally saw a glimmer of hope.
"The Huang family, a prominent family in Bibo Prefecture, is looking for a live-in son-in-law. You can go and give it a try."
Chen Shiyan's qualifications perfectly meet the requirements for a live-in son-in-law.
The obvious conditions are good looks, good spiritual roots, and no family ties.
The hidden conditions are having a strong background, being good at work, and being sweet-talker.
Cheng Qian thought that they could give it a try, infiltrate the dynasty’s internal plan and restart it.
The county magistrate started out as a son-in-law.
