Chapter 324: Exploring the Foundation

Gu Dan returned to his cave in the yellow level area.

In a year's time, the cave that he had accidentally destroyed had long been repaired, but he had stayed in Lingzhen Hall to recuperate and had not returned yet.

Now that I'm back, nothing has changed much, even the flowers and plants around me look the same.

The passage of time is invisible to the naked eye in the mortal world, let alone in the Immortal Pavilion.

The Grand Master no longer looks old. After practicing Taoism, he looks even younger. Even when he is over a hundred years old, there are countless Grand Masters with a head full of black hair.

It is no exaggeration to say that during the meeting in the Law Enforcement Hall, if you just pick up a bamboo pole and hit it a few times, you will find that the old men are over a hundred years old, and they would all be centenarians in the mortal world.

But these centenarians not only do not have the desolate scene of old age, but they are also able to split rivers and move mountains. They can even lift a tripod with just one finger.

Therefore, the age of a person is not used as a criterion in the Immortal House. It does not mean that whoever is older is "highly respected". Most of the evaluations are based on strength or status.

The phenomenon of seniority-based discrimination does exist, but it is very rare.

Age is hardly a concern here. Even if there is a huge age difference, as long as the strength is similar, you can still call each other a fellow Taoist. Of course, if the other person has an extraordinary status, you can also choose his or her position.

Some of the standards for measuring things in the mortal world are not very applicable to the immortal way.

This is the place where learning has no order and those who achieve the most are the first.

Those who are capable enough will be able to shine here.

For example, the Huang Dynasty, or Gu Dan, who was already quite famous at that time, or Kong Zhai.

That's why he can have a good fight with Lingzhentang. This is because there is no dominant force in Ningfang and no decisive force has emerged.

"Now I have reached the sixth level of Qi training, and I am only one step away from the late stage of Qi training."

Back in his cave, Gu Dan was thinking.

If you don't think about the future, you will have immediate worries.

Even if one wants to be immortal, before having sufficient foundation, one must accumulate strength, observe the general trend, follow the trend, and act after careful planning. Only then can one be immortal and avoid the suffering of death.

Therefore, it is particularly important to analyze your own strengths and clearly understand your position.

"In the early stages of Qi training, he was weak and his own spiritual energy was insufficient. He could not even use the proper immortal arts for a few times before his Qi ran out. Although he was as famous as the Grandmaster, he was actually far inferior.

In the middle stage of Qi training, the spiritual energy foundation is already quite good. Even if you fight with a master and are inferior in strength, you can still turn around. With the help of the power of immortal spells, it is not impossible to fly in the air for a short time. You can protect yourself without any problem and you are not much weaker than a master.

As for the later stage of Qi training, the spiritual energy is sufficient to cope with a major battle. In a one-on-one battle, the power of the immortal law is so great that even the master has to avoid it. This is already an advantage. If the master does not have the ability to burn flesh and blood, he will be at a disadvantage.

This is only because of the current "fairyland" drag. If it is really a prosperous era for cultivating immortals, with the blessing of spiritual tools, elixirs and other means, the influence of the Grandmaster will be greatly reduced, and it may not even be worth mentioning. "

Gu Dan muttered to himself.

Although his strength has reached the sixth level of Qi training, he has almost never used his immortal power, because compared with his achievements in martial arts, his current immortal attainments are far inferior.

But if converted, he has only practiced for a mere nine years, which is equivalent to the grandmaster's forty to fifty years of effort, and there are higher realms waiting for him to explore in the future. In terms of growth, he has completely crushed the martial arts.

"The way of immortality cannot be slack, and daily practice will naturally not fall behind. But the way of martial arts is the foundation of my life now. I have found hope for the innate realm, but the commotion of refining acquired qi is too great. Now the situation has come to this point, and it is impossible for me to leave Ningfang and run to a secluded place to refine it."

Gu Dan was thinking.

Although the locking of Ningfang’s doors was fake, it was definitely true that the monks were not allowed to come out.

The cultivator who can really walk out of Ningfang at this time to gather information must be the most trusted confidant of the Ningfang’s top leaders and someone who can absolutely be trusted.

Even though he had received great courtesy from the Huang Dynasty as Kong Zhai, he would probably be arrested immediately and interrogated severely because he had just learned the secret of the source of spiritual energy and asked to leave the Immortal Pavilion.

The reason is very simple: there is no spiritual energy outside, so why would you, a master and a mid-level Qi training guy, come out at this time? Apart from tipping off, there is no other explanation!

Because of the current situation, the time for refining the acquired Qi can only be postponed.

He could have used this opportunity to improve his strength, but it was temporarily delayed, so Gu Dan could only make up for it from other places.

Internal Breathing Technique! Using this skill, he could make faster progress in the immortal path and make up for the time wasted in the Immortal House.

Although Gu Dan did not think that the foundation building at this time was a threat to him, the immortal who had not returned yet always made a dark cloud hang over Gu Dan's head.

How could he not know that he possessed the ability to save the world and had the Qingmu Huasheng Jue to consume his lifespan, and that every time the Qingmu Huasheng Jue was promoted, it would bring him a huge increase? This was a shortcut.

But the problem is, when the requirements for life span increase, even now it already requires a million life spans to reach the next level, do we still have to cure diseases and save people one by one? Slow, too slow, too slow! Small cures for people, medium cures for countries, and large cures for the world.

The gifts given to him by the people of the Xia Dynasty actually say it all.

The real purpose of saving the world is to directly change the world's atmosphere, make people live better, stop killing and war, and live a healthy life.

Although the life span donated by one person is quite small compared to the direct treatment and saving of lives, when the huge amount is accumulated, the life span donated will also show a soaring trend.

If you want to receive the gift of a huge amount of longevity, the best way is not to find patients one by one, but to change the world.

This is a win-win situation for both parties.

Be it universal love and non-aggression, benevolence, righteousness, propriety and law, or even truth, goodness and beauty, as long as changes are made and someone benefits, he will always get the gift that belongs to him.

Even if he didn't get it during his lifetime, he will get everything he deserves after his death.

No one can outlast an old man.

The only question is, what is the price of doing this? Would those high and mighty immortals want to see someone do this?

I’m afraid not.

He is an immortal, not a gambler, so he should not and cannot gamble.

Porcelain should not collide with tiles. Even for the highly respected immortality, the highest pursuit is nothing more than immortality, or even the second highest level of longevity that equals heaven.

He has already achieved the ultimate goal of cultivating immortals, so he cannot be impatient.

Taking shortcuts can sometimes be the biggest risk.

At the beginning, he did not even make any changes to the Xia Dynasty's system. He only chose one medical clinic to promote throughout the country as a compromise.

If human life is finite, he wouldn't mind being a firework that appears out of nowhere, shining brightly in the eternal night, to show them what it means to be the first of its kind in history.

But his life span is endless.

Then there are too many choices.

He cannot be a firework, but should be the bright moon in the sky, shining silently and moistening quietly.

The most appropriate and feasible way is to wait until you can shine like the sun, illuminating thousands of places.

To achieve this, he does not need to practice to the limit of the immortal way. Once he reaches the Nascent Soul stage or even the Divine Transformation stage and is considered a giant in this world, he can naturally let go and do what he wants.

But these things are not something that the grandmaster can think about.

Those who sit in a well and think that the grandmaster can sweep away everything here, so he should have the final say in the world, is too much of a disdain for the way of immortals.

It took him several years to get from the Xia Dynasty to the Buzhou Mountains!

In this vast world, a grandmaster is only a ripple, not a dragon in the sea.

Even if he really did that, how much benefit would it bring? A moment of joy would only add to countless troubles, and it would not be possible to achieve full success. Instead, it would expose himself and make him a target.

It’s hard to do good things these days.

"The refining of acquired qi has been postponed for the time being, but fortunately, there is still Qingmuye to help. In the next period of time, I just need to devote all my energy to the pursuit of immortality. Although Qingmuye is comparable to the heavenly spiritual root at this time, my own aptitude is the key to breaking through the realm. It is a good time to start seeking to build a foundation now."

Gu Dan continued to think.

It is true that Qingmuye is comparable to natural spiritual roots, or even extraordinary spiritual roots.

But when he was promoted, it was he himself who was promoted, not the Qingmu Liquid.

With the help of Aoki Liquid, it was like he was riding a fast train while others were jogging, but when it came time to leap forward, he still had to do it himself.

The Green Wood Liquid can give him the cultivation speed of a natural spiritual root level, but it cannot help him advance. These are two different things.

Even so, the Green Wood Liquid was already extremely powerful, giving him a cultivation speed four times faster than that of a lower-grade spiritual root. Moreover, the effect of the Green Wood Liquid was far more than just a little bit . Now, all he lacked was a chance to snowball.

"It is not necessary for me to conquer the Immortal Palace. What I really need to pay attention to is the spiritual objects for building the foundation."

Gu Dan found his goal in an instant. As he kept thinking, everything became clearer and clearer, and he had found the way forward.

"Kong Zhai, are you back?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

While he was thinking, a sound was heard outside the cave.

Gu Dan opened the cave door and saw Lu Yu at a glance. He bowed and said, "Brother Lu, long time no see! Come on, I just prepared some spiritual wine here, please have a few drinks!"

When he saw the visitor, Gu Dan was extremely enthusiastic.

"How can this be so embarrassing."

Lu Yu stroked his beard and walked quickly into the cave. "What kind of wine?"

"Ningyu wine."

Gu Dan smiled.

"Hey, you've made it big, kid?"

Lu Yu raised his eyebrows slightly.

The Chijiang wine he often drinks is brewed from spiritual rice that is harvested once every three years and is very valuable.

Even in the Law Enforcement Hall, there are very few monks who dare to be so arrogant.

Ningyu wine is brewed from spiritual rice that grows every five years! Although this stuff is not much better than Chijiang wine in terms of efficacy, the problem is that it is precious!

There are not many of them in stock in the entire Ningfang. They are absolutely not for sale. Only a handful of people can enjoy them, and there is nowhere to buy them even if you want to.

"Master Huang Chao was very generous. He not only gave me a lower-grade spiritual dragon-patterned sword, but also a jar of jade-condensing wine. It's because of you, Brother Lu, that you came. Otherwise, no one else would have the chance to taste it with me."

Gu Dan pulled the table over and took out a wine jar made of white jade. Light was faintly translucent from inside the jar, and even though it had never been opened, one could still smell the faint, refreshing aroma of wine, tempting one's appetite.

"It's really Ningyu wine. It seems that you are really favored by the Huang Chao Hall Master."

Lu Yu raised his eyebrows, and he already understood in his heart that in Huang Chao's eyes, Kong Zhai could be considered one of the Law Enforcement Hall's "own men".

Huang Chao was never stingy with his own people.

"That's not true. When I first came to the Law Enforcement Hall, I troubled Brother Lu a lot. It's just a pity that the most precious spiritual wine outside is only Chijiang. I searched for it for a long time but couldn't find one that suits my taste. Today, I have Ningyu Wine, so I dare to invite Brother Lu to have a drink for once."

Gu Dan said quite politely.

"You're going to such great lengths to flatter me?"

Lu Yu laughed loudly and said with great pleasure: "Boy, do you have anything you want to ask?"

"What are you talking about? What other reasons do you need to invite Brother Lu to drink?"

Gu Dan didn't waste any time and directly opened the seal of the jar.

In an instant, the aroma of wine, which was not strong but extremely pleasant, finally wafted out, and even just smelling it made one's heart flutter.

"Come, let's toast to Brother Lu first."

Gu Dan simply took out a wine bowl, poured out the wine and poured it down.

The nectar poured out of the white jade wine jar was not like ordinary wine. On the contrary, it was thick like paste, white like snow, and like agar jade. The increasingly strong fragrance enveloped the cave.

Ningyu Ningyu, the name was indeed not wrong.

"Come on, do it!"

A cup of jade wine was finished in an instant.

Different from Chijiang's extremely fierce and passionate smell of alcohol.

When you first take a sip, Ningyu Wine tastes like the finest pastry, and even gives you a "soft and sticky" feeling, followed by a hint of sweetness that blooms on your taste buds.

Along with the sweetness, a little bit of alcohol quietly rises up. When it is swallowed into the stomach, the lingering fragrance in the mouth is no exaggeration. Even the body is quietly warmed up a little. It is truly an extraordinary enjoyment. No wonder it is not for sale.

“What a good wine!”

Lu Yu also tasted it carefully, and even smacked his lips with satisfaction. Seeing that Gu Dan really drank a large bowl of it in one breath without any hesitation, although it was not his wine, he still couldn't help but say, "A cow chewing a peony!"

"I am not as knowledgeable as Brother Lu. I am just a rough man. I don't know too many twists and turns, etiquette and rules. Most of the time, I am satisfied to do things according to my heart."

Gu Dan said with a smile.

"Hey, I see you have quite a few tricks up your sleeve."

Lu Yu put down the wine bowl and said, "I've already drunk the wine. If you want to ask something, just ask it quickly. Don't give me this set of tricks, otherwise I won't feel comfortable drinking."

"What are you talking about, Brother Lu?"

Gu Dan naturally shouldn't respond.

"If you don't ask me, I'll fall asleep after drinking."

Lu Yu said immediately.

"Well, okay. Since Brother Lu said so, I really have something I want to ask Brother Lu."

Gu Dan said seriously.

"Tell me about it."

Lu Yu said.

"May I ask, how much do you know about foundation building, Brother Lu?"

Gu Dan asked.

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "You are waiting for me here! I told you that it is impossible to drink Ningyu wine for free!"
