Chapter 106: Successful Foundation Building

Chongtai Daojun pointed to a courtyard and told Ji Qingling to get ready and then go directly to the inner gate to build the foundation. No one would disturb him here.

Because Shen Rushi came to ask the master about puppetry techniques.

Ji Qingling and Ji Zuo, as one had not learned yet and the other could not learn, both withdrew.

"Brother Ji Zuo, has Senior Sister Shen Ru learned puppetry well?" Ji Qingling asked while fiddling with the puppet in his hand.

Ji Zuo nodded, "Master said that Shen Ru is more talented than him, and will definitely achieve more than him in the future."

Now it was Ji Qingling's turn to be surprised, "Such a high evaluation?"

"He is indeed very talented." Ji Zuo's tone was a little sour.

Ji Qingling felt that this topic could be dropped, after all, there was a person here who finally worshipped a puppet master but couldn't learn~ "By the way, Brother Ji Zuo, I heard from Senior Sister Shen before that you ate something wrong at that time, so you suddenly wanted to build your foundation?"

Ji Zuo stopped and said, "Xiao Qingling, everyone says you are smart, but how come I don't see that at all!"

Just pointing at a person's scars and picking them up? "Hehehe~hehe~"

Today is indeed not a suitable day for chatting.

Since Taoist Chongtai said that she could prepare to build the foundation, she naturally had to start preparing.

Ji Zuo had made it very clear about the courtyard at Sunset Peak. Once the foundation was established, it would become her exclusive courtyard. This was a benefit for direct disciples, and all of them had it.

There is actually nothing to pack at the outer gate, and almost all the things are placed in the storage bag.

This is the case for most monks. Every time you go out, it may be the last time you leave.

She had nothing to worry about after handing Wu Ya over to Ji Hui. He would be out of confinement in a month at the fastest and six months at the slowest.

Ji Qingling himself did not expect that this retreat would take a full year to complete the foundation-building process.

When he entered the state of seclusion, Ji Qingling discovered that the spiritual energy he needed to build his foundation was much more than everyone thought.

The characteristic of the small tender bud is that it is slow and long-lasting. It can help you refine your spiritual energy continuously, but it cannot provide Ji Qingling with huge spiritual power in a short period of time.

The foundation-building process begins with constantly tempering the meridians and the body, over and over again. During this period, a large amount of spiritual power is required to support it.

The huge vortex in Dantian was constantly absorbing Ji Qingling's spiritual power, like an insatiable giant beast, constantly demanding it.

Ji Qingling began to work hard to absorb and refine the spiritual energy, and the little buds did not stop for a moment.

The elixir given by Taoist Chongtai took effect at this time, filling the gap, and the situation began to slowly stabilize.

The elixir was soon used up, and that was because Taoist Chongtai had given her enough of it. She was quite confident at the time that she would not need it.

When the elixir ran out, she began to use soul-replenishing talismans to make up for the shortfall, one by one. Fortunately, she had saved a lot of them. These soul-replenishing talismans also supported her for a long time.

The spirit-replenishing talismans had been used up, and Ji Qingling took out all the spirit stones in the storage bag. This was the last supply, and if he didn’t finish this foundation-building effort, he would fail.

Fortunately, the vortex began to slow down. When the last spiritual stone was at its lightest, with the spiritual energy absorbed by Ji Qingling himself and the full supply of the small bud, the riot in his dantian began to gradually subside.

"father!"

Just then Ji Qingling saw Ji Linhai. He was curled up in the corner with a look of pain on his face. It must be the injury in his dantian that was torturing him again.

Although he always tries to keep smiling and optimistic in front of his family, the pain is real and he will not stay away from you just because you smile.

Seeing Ji Linhai groaning in pain in the corner, Ji Qingling burst into tears. But she was powerless. She wanted to go over and hug her father, but she couldn't move, couldn't take a single step forward, and there was an invisible force pulling her further and further away.

"Dad! Dad~"

No matter how she screamed, Ji Linhai didn't change at all and just stayed in the corner, suffering alone.

An invisible force pulled her out of the house, and the next moment she appeared outside the yard, where there was another person!

That was Mo Sanniang! Mo Sanniang stood outside the courtyard gate with her head lowered, like a child who had done something wrong.

She wiped her face roughly with her sleeves, and her clenched fists with her lowered hands betrayed her current mood.

Ji Linhai cannot use his spiritual sense, but Mo Sanniang can. She can see clearly everything that happened in the room. She saw Ji Linhai's pain, but did not enter the room.

She had to pretend that she didn't know, so that Ji Linhai could still face her with a smile. If he knew that Mo Sanniang already knew, it would only make him more miserable.

Perhaps he already knew, as long as Mo Sanniang didn't expose it, he would keep holding on. They both had a glimmer of hope in their hearts - Qingmu Gate, maybe he could really wait until that day.

Ji Qingling's heart was in a knot. Her father and mother were insisting, so there was no way she would give up.

She must build a foundation, must go to Zhongzhou, must find Qingmu Gate, and she must cure Ji Linhai!

With a loud bang, the vortex of spiritual energy in Ji Qingling's dantian suddenly dispersed.

She opened her eyes and a light flashed in them.

Done!

The foundation has been laid successfully!

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

~ Time flies, and half a year has passed since Ji Qingling successfully established his foundation.

She had a lot of things to do in the past six months, including consolidating her cultivation and formally becoming disciples of Chongtai Daojun and Ji Zuo and becoming their senior and junior brothers.

The courtyard now belonged to her, and the Deacon Hall wanted to assign a menial disciple to her, but Ji Qingling refused.

She didn't like strangers getting too close to her, and there was nothing to clean up in the yard, and no spiritual plants, so Zhou Yan and Ji Hui divided her yard.

Both of them were learning alchemy, and they each grew half of the herbs for alchemy.

There is only one spiritual beast, Toothless, and it does not need any care from anyone. The little guy is cute and clean by himself, and strangers cannot get close to it at all.

Ji Zuo gave her a set of defensive formations, which were set up in the yard and were enough.

She has a few things to do first.

For example, the flying magic weapon, the Tongtian, has finally reached the time when it can play its full role.

First she needed to find an open place to practice. Sunset Peak was very large, and the place she chose was close to her yard.

She arrived very early and just caught the sunrise.

Ji Qingling thought that she and Tongtian were already very familiar with each other, so it must be easy for her to control it.

"Pah~"

"Pah~"

…

In the end, Ji Qingling didn't know how many times he fell. He finally stood up, but the speed that alternated between fast and slow made Ji Qingling fall again and again.

Why did others fly so gracefully, but it was so funny when it was her turn? Every time she failed, she learned from experience. From the first time she succeeded, Ji Qingling flew while holding Tongtian, and now she could sit on it safely when she returned to the yard.

After flying a few circles in the air, she really wanted to fly to find Ji Hui and Ji Qingyuan, but unfortunately, Taiyi Sect did not allow disciples in the foundation-building stage to fly within the sect.

No matter how long it took, Ji Qingling finally learned to fly with a sword, or should I say, with a pen? 　Thank you book friend 19170, October Ling's monthly ticket, and I don't know the name of another fairy, I only know one of the three characters. So thank you XX Lake for the monthly ticket.

I've been a bit busy at work recently, and I've used up all my saved manuscripts. I got up at six today to start writing, and I feel like I'm going crazy.

My husband said that if he didn’t really like it, he would never be able to do this, even though I love sleeping in!
