Mid-stage foundation building
"Why are you so…"
Chi Zhao, who returned to Wendao Mountain, poked his head out of the spirit beast bag. He was a little confused as to why Qian Luo had completely different attitudes towards District 9 and District 8, being gentle towards District 9 and harsh towards District 8.
Qian Luo sat cross-legged on the mat. "Because of Wang Tongtian's various methods, they fostered their greed. Didn't you hear what they said? Their rebellious spirit is stronger than that of the people in District 9. It's just that Wang Tongtian was at the Foundation Establishment stage at the time, so they couldn't overthrow him."
"The biggest difference between District 9 and District 8 is that District 9 suffers deeply, while District 8 suffers deeply but is unaware of it and instead becomes complacent. The Colosseum has aroused their bestiality and greed, turning them into wild beasts with extremely violent personalities."
"If I don't show up, use powerful tactics, and act moody, then Xiaoqing and the others will be hindered. After all, their cultivation is low, and there are more monks in District 8 than in District 9."
"Some people will definitely be dissatisfied and come out to obstruct their plan to merge District 8."
She had been in District 8 for the previous 18 years, so how could she not know the nature of the monks there? Selfish, greedy, and possessed of strong desires, because becoming a monk allowed them to act as rent collectors, and the first step in a rent collector's job was to clean up their own kind and kill each other.
Chi Zhao looked at the plain-looking girl and felt a little awkward. He wondered how the stinky master could be so clever. "Hmph, I didn't expect you to... teach students in accordance with their aptitude? And adapt to local conditions?"
Qianluo rolled her eyes at him and said, "If you don't know how to say idioms, then don't say them."
"Okay, I'm going to practice in seclusion. If you have nothing to do, you can play in the Dao Mountain."
Chi Zhao loved hearing this. His round eyes immediately curved, and he stretched out his little paws and bowed: "Thank you, beautiful lady, but I still want to eat..."
Qianluo fed it two strange fires. Chi Zhao was full and immediately ran away: "Wait! Send the Jade Blood Silver Anaconda to a nearby lake and let it heal its wounds."
Chi Zhaocai turned back reluctantly and took the storage bag: "It's so cold in winter, and you still want to put it in the lake. Aren't you afraid of freezing to death?"
Qianluo raised an eyebrow and poked her head: "What are you thinking about? She likes shade and cold weather, and lakes are her favorite in winter."
"Hurry up and go! I may need a year to practice in seclusion before I can go to District 7. During this time, you'd better behave yourself and practice well. Don't let me be in the middle stage of foundation building and you still be in the early stage by the time I reach the middle stage of foundation building, and then you will be holding me back."
Chi Zhao exploded when he heard this. He threw the spirit beast bag around his neck, swayed, and said, "Who can compare to you who is so amazing! It's been less than a year, and you've already reached the foundation building stage. I even suspect you have some treasure on you, otherwise how could you improve so quickly?"
Qian Luo raised her eyebrows when she heard this. Of course, all this was thanks to the Immortal Cultivation Simulator. Finding people, looking for opportunities, and improving cultivation all depended on it.
"Why is this snake so heavy? It must have eaten a lot. I'm going to soak it in cold water!" Chi Zhao muttered to himself as he staggered away with his short legs.
The turquoise spiritual beast bag around his neck swayed with his movements. The Green Blood Silver Anaconda inside had just woken up, spitting out its tongue. Listening to Chi Zhao's mumbling, it rolled its eyes and said, "You bastard! You have no respect for elders at all!"
Along the way, Chi Zhao was fed by many people. When they saw the little spirit beast that hadn't been out for a long time, their eyes curved and they exclaimed in admiration: "It's Zhao Zhao! So cute! Baby!"
"Zhao Zhao, you're so cute! Put away your flames, I want to touch you!"
Chi Zhao reveled in the crowd's flattery, his head held high and chest puffed out, walking back and forth on the ground with small steps, letting everyone admire his heroic appearance. His large eyes shone like pearls, and his round face exuded a naive spirit. Whenever he raised his head proudly, the monks nearby would exclaim, "How adorable!"
They could no longer conceal their excitement, and started to attack Chi Zhao violently while holding the mad Chi Zhao. Especially the younger female monks, seeing such a cute creature, could not help but bury their faces in Chi Zhao's belly.
"So furry and warm."
"Give it to me, I want to bury it too!"
"Line up, line up, line up one by one!"
Chi Zhao was being toyed around by the women. Only now did he realize that the flames on his body were protecting himself. These women were so terrifying!
He now finally understood the saying, "If you don't work hard, you will become a woman's plaything!"
The Jade Blood Silver Anaconda in the bag opened the spirit beast bag, took a quick look at these monks, and snorted. "They all like this stinky brat. What's so good about being furry? Hairless is the most beautiful!"
Two hours later, Chi Zhao, who had been sucked dry, shook his head and stood up weakly. Seeing the spirit beast bag around his neck, he realized that he had not completed the task yet.
He looked around and found a clear lake. He placed the Jade Blood Silver Anaconda from his spirit beast bag into it. As soon as it touched the icy water, the Jade Blood Silver Anaconda slid down and sighed, "Finally, there's water."
Chi Zhao collapsed by the lake. The Jade Blood Silver Anaconda's tail teased the little cub. Chi Zhao was annoyed: "What are you doing! Stinky snake!"
"Splash--" A tail of water fell on Chi Zhao, and he became a drowned chicken.
"You! You've gone too far!" Do you really think he has no temper? He does have a bad temper!
"Silver Anaconda! My master worked so hard to take you in. Before he went into seclusion, he even asked me to put you in the lake. I ran so far to get you to the lake, and you actually said this to me! Not even a word of thanks!"
Listening to the little fellow's complaining tone, the Jade Blood Silver Anaconda knew she had gone too far, but she wasn't one to bow her head and apologize easily. She still held her tail high with her head submerged in the water. "Humph, your master owes me a drop of blood. I destroyed her high-level magic weapon and gave her a high-level spiritual weapon. She should be thanking me!"
"You! That's totally unreasonable!"
Chi Zhao was so angry that his round face became even rounder!
The Green Blood Silver Anaconda coughed a few times and said, "You look like you've only been in the initial stage of foundation building for a short time. If you have any questions about cultivation, you can come and ask me. After all, as your senior, I have the obligation to help you."
Suddenly, Chi Zhao's round eyes flashed a light: "Really? How dare you, a snake that failed to form a pill, say that to me?"
The Blood-Silver Anaconda narrowed its eyes, spitting out its tongue, and said in a dangerous tone: "What did you say?"
Frightened, Chi Zhao shrank his neck: "Ahem, ahem, it's nothing!"
"Hahaha, enjoy playing in the water. I'll come to see you again when I have time!" He ran away, leaving the Blood-Silver Anaconda behind with a sneer.
The water of Cuishan Lake was crystal clear, which was very suitable for her to recuperate. The Silver Anaconda looked at the Wendao Mountain not far away. When she extended her spiritual sense, she could naturally see a different world.
"That little girl is right. This place is green and beautiful, bustling and noisy. It's really suitable for me to live in."
She smiled slightly, shifted her body, and stretched. Countless splashes of water fell on the trees by the lake, freezing into ice and hanging on the branches. The green mountains almost merged with her body, the same green. Even if she sank to the bottom of the lake, no one would notice.
A silver anaconda with a green body slowly sank deeper, closed its eyes quietly, and hibernated peacefully.
——
After finishing all the things, Qianluo set up a small defensive formation to prevent outsiders from disturbing her. Her cave was in a secluded place, undisturbed by others. She finally had time to practice in peace. She opened her storage bag and took out two books: "Basic Formation Encyclopedia" and "Soul Consolidation Method"
"Methods to Consolidate the Spirit and Soul" is the most basic book. It does not contain much useful information, but only two methods.
First, train your spiritual consciousness. Enter the illusion more often and repeatedly train your spiritual consciousness to lay a solid foundation.
Second, match it with soul-related materials. For example, the Hundred-Year Soul Nurturing Wood, the Hundred-Year Red Soul Snake...
This was unfortunate because she had cut down a bunch of trees in the secret realm of the Lost Valley and was worried about where to use them.
"We also need the Hundred-Year Soul-Nourishing Tree to nourish our spirit."
"Basic soul attacks can be combined with the Hundred-Year Red Soul Snake..."
Qianluo blinked and put the matter aside. She continued to grind the Migu wood. After she had laid a solid foundation, winter passed and spring came, and all things revived, she would practice quietly in her cave.
The book "Basic Formation Collection" introduces six categories of formations: defensive formations, offensive formations, auxiliary formations, teleportation formations, forbidden formations and transformation formations. ①
The most important part of a formation is the center, where key materials can be placed. The formation also requires the placement of spirit stones, the quality of which also determines the concentration of spiritual energy in the formation.
Formation flags are materials needed to set up some advanced formations. Good formation flags can achieve twice the result with half the effort. The formation diagram is the map of the formation, and you can place the materials according to the formation diagram.
The array plate is a miniature array. After the array is completed, the array plate can be made. It can be given away next time. It can also be given to others or sold. It is very convenient.
The quality of formations is divided into three categories: primary, intermediate, and advanced, so formation masters are also divided into three categories: primary formation masters, intermediate formation masters, and advanced formation masters.
There may be more mysterious and advanced formations further up, but they are not recorded in the book.
Qian Luo watched with great interest. She had not expected that the knowledge of formations was no less than that of alchemy. With so much unfamiliar knowledge entering her mind, she felt a little dizzy. It turned out that she was not cut out to be a formation master.
Fortunately, she copied all these books, hoping that there would be talented players in Wendao Mountain who could stand out, otherwise the whereabouts of Wendao Mountain’s protective formation would be unknown!
Training her soul, learning formations, advancing in alchemy, refining spiritual tools, processing the various materials in the storage bag... She didn't know how much time had passed, but when she opened her eyes again, she found that it was already spring.
——
The ice and snow outside had melted long ago, revealing a fresh green grass. In the distance, there were green mountain shadows and white doves flying by, reflected in the lake. A breeze blew through the willow branches, the sun was shining, and it was spring.
"Has it been a year, or two?"
Qianluo admired the scenery outside the cave and was in a good mood: "Oh, I almost forgot about the Immortal Cultivation Simulator."
[This simulation consumes 100 points, and there are 2 simulation opportunities left, with a total of 200 points remaining.]
Start simulation
[At the age of 20, you practiced in seclusion, learned how to consolidate your soul, arrange formations, and successfully refined several bottles of elixirs. Your use of the Jade Blood Orchid Sword also became increasingly proficient.]
[Three days later, you decided to head to District 7. You found the escape route that Jiang Liang had accidentally left behind, and headed to District 7, changing your appearance.]
Five days later, you followed the directions you remembered and found Sun Rushuang, who was imprisoned in the palace. You explained your purpose, but Sun Rushuang was skeptical.
You took Sun Rushuang and fled District 7, using every trick in the book to evade District Chief Chen Ziqiu, but were ultimately defeated.
[You and Sun Rushuang were hit by Chen Ziqiu and both died.]
[After the simulation is over, you can choose one of the options to convert.]
[Choose your cultivation level at 1 or 20 years old]
[Choose training items for ages 2 and 20]
【Select life memories of 3 and 20 years old】
"It's been so long..." Qianluo found out that she was already 20 years old, which meant that more than a year had passed.
She sighed. Cultivating immortals is about time, no wonder there's never enough time. She had to cultivate and improve her skills, learn the five arts of cultivation, and search for materials: alchemy materials, weapon refining materials, soul-nourishing materials, rare ores, and rare treasures...
She chose the cultivation item: [You have obtained a number of low-grade spirit stones.]
Qianluo continued to simulate and use the immortal cultivation simulator to improve her cultivation. She has now reached the peak of the early stage of foundation building and is only one step away from the middle stage of foundation building.
Don't underestimate this small step; a slight mistake can lead to a huge loss. Many people fail to grasp this small step to advancement, leading to lifelong regret and hopeless advancement. The higher the level of cultivation, the harder it is to break through the bottleneck.
[This simulation consumes 100 points. 1 simulation opportunity is left, and 100 points are left.]
Start simulation
[At 20 years old, you are practicing in seclusion...]
[You continue to practice and prepare various materials for advancement.]
[10 years later, you finally broke through to the middle stage of foundation building.]
You go to District 7 and follow the directions you remember, finding Sun Rushuang imprisoned in the palace. You explain your purpose, but Sun Rushuang is skeptical.
You took Sun Rushuang and fled District 7, using every trick in the book to evade District Chief Chen Ziqiu, but were ultimately defeated.
[You and Sun Rushuang were hit by Chen Ziqiu and both died.]
[Simulation ends…]
Qian Luo chose [Cultivation] and became a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building. She used up the last simulation opportunity and found that her cultivation was still not enough.
She left the things she had looted in Area 8, such as the magic weapons of the three elders, to recharge the simulator because they were too evil and unsuitable for the people of Wendao Mountain.
【Congratulations to the host, recharge successful! 】
[This recharge is 300 points, a total of 300 points, and 1 simulation remaining! ]
[This simulation consumed 200 points, 0 simulation opportunities remaining, and 100 points remaining.]
…
"The price has increased again!" Sure enough, the mid-stage foundation building simulation is 200 points!
Qian Luo recharged and simulated at the same time, and her cultivation level was at the middle stage of the foundation building period. She continued to recharge and improved to the great perfection of the foundation building period. No matter how much she simulated afterwards, she would be killed or her lifespan would end.
Qian Luo also knew that if she didn't get out of the predicament, the simulator would not be able to help her get out of Area 7 or the lower three areas. If she wanted to improve her cultivation, she still needed to go to the middle three areas or even the upper three areas.
She rummaged through her storage bag. Apart from the low-grade spirit stones and magic tools that should have gone into the treasury, she still had some miscellaneous items left that were of no use but took up space.
【Congratulations to the host, recharge successful! 】
[This recharge is 1000 points, a total of 1000 points, and 5 simulations are left! ]
"Well, now I'm a pauper again!" Qian Luo collapsed and found that after killing people and stealing treasures, he was still a pauper. The low-grade spirit stones were all used to build the Asking Dao Mountain, and the magic tools were left to the cultivators, which meant that the elixirs were self-sufficient. The other formations were useless and there were not many of them. The quality was only at the elementary level, and the talismans were even pitifully few.
With tears in her eyes, she took out 1,000 low-grade spirit stones from her storage bag and prepared to go to District 7 as her pocket money: "I must be the poorest grandmother in the sect!"
By the way, I sorted out the storage bag: 1,000 low-grade spirit stones, several basic pills, several primary formations, a pile of maze valley powder, 1 green-blood silver-striped snake, and 1 green-blood silver python.
High-level magic weapon: Tiger Tail Void Pen [Useless Version], High-level spiritual weapon: Blood Orchid Sword [Useful Version], Low-level magic weapon: Fahua Jade [Damaged Version]
There is also a sweetheart, the Little Black Tripod [Super Invincible and Easy-to-Use Version]
"...So my belongings are so few?"
Qian Luo couldn't believe it, and she dug for a long time, but found a lot of Mi Gu powder on the ground. She didn't find anything extra, so she thought that another handful of Mi Gu powder was missing.
"...I'll check the talismans and grab a few attack, defense, and teleportation talismans in case of emergency."
She tried to find a way to cheer herself up and discovered that Yan Bufan and Wang Tongtian were also very poor, with only a pile of low-grade spirit stones and few talismans. She accepted them with tears in her eyes, stuffed them into her storage bag, and tied her pocket tightly.
"I'm out of seclusion now, let's see what Chi Zhao is up to next."
——
Among the mountains and valleys, mountain streams are rushing happily, birds are flying freely, the air is overflowing with spiritual energy, white clouds are floating, and jade buildings are towering into the clouds.
Standing on the steep cliffs are magnificent palaces with carved beams and painted buildings, gorgeous and magnificent, like a heavenly attic that has accidentally strayed into the human world.
The water flows far away, and the trees are deep with shadows of flowers.
When Qianluo came out, she didn't find Chi Zhao, but she found a different Wendao Mountain, which looked like a big sect.
The majestic and magnificent palace has nine floors. On the plaque are written three large characters "Council Hall" in a flamboyant style. The three-story palace on the right is the "Alchemy Pavilion", and the three-story palace on the left is the "Formation Pavilion".
A flat road lay ahead. Three palaces sat amidst the mountains, shrouded in mist and clouds, like a fairyland. Coming and going were monks in blue robes, their sashes fluttering. Some carried heavy swords, some held compasses, and some wore flutes at their waists...
There are palaces on both sides of the road, a mission hall on the left, and a treasure pavilion on the right, selling elixirs, magic tools, talismans, formations...
Further ahead is a large circular area used for sect competitions. Winning rewards can get you magical weapons for free.
Qianluo was puzzled: "Where's the cafeteria?"
Some people didn't recognize her and, seeing that she wasn't wearing a Taoist robe, thought she was new. "You're new here, right? The cafeteria is behind the Treasure Pavilion. With the addition of a chef from the Zhenwei Building, the food has changed a lot! If you pay a few more spirit stones, you can even eat spirit rice and spirit meat!"
The female cultivator was beautiful and fair, but unexpectedly, she was a foodie. She wiped her saliva and said, "The mission hall accepts groups to hunt monsters. The meat can be sold to the cafeteria, and the blood and bones can be sold to the Treasure Pavilion. With the spirit stones, you can eat spirit rice and drink spirit wine, and buy a few handy magic tools!"
"Now we're really motivated. We don't have to keep it in a storage bag every day, or it'll get moldy!"
"Master Liu is right. This is called stimulating demand, promoting consumption, and balancing supply and demand!"
The female cultivator was extremely enthusiastic and pointed to the peaks next to the meeting hall. "There's also the Hundred Beasts Garden over there. Although there's only one spirit beast, Chi Zhao, in there, and only one Blue-Blooded Silver Anaconda in the lake, but with the support of Foundation Establishment cultivators, it's definitely there!"
"There's a Hundred Herb Garden on this mountain peak. Tending to these spiritual plants is incredibly valuable! This quest is incredibly popular! I can't even get one!"
"By the way, if you go to District 8, you only need to pay two spirit beads to visit District 8 and travel at the same time. There is a branch of the Asking Dao Mountain in District 8, right in the old District Chief's Palace!"
"Why are you laughing? Are you listening to me? Are you stupid?"
Qian Luo turned around and smiled: "No, I just feel that it's really good to go to Daoshan. The benefits, infrastructure, and everything else are good."
She had never expected that after more than a year of seclusion, the changes in Wendao Mountain were so great. It was originally just a rudimentary sect, but now it has the momentum of a major sect.
"It's time to go and bring Chi Zhao back."
She summoned the Green Blood Orchid Sword, jumped lightly, her eyes shining slightly, and flew on the sword towards the mountain. Her movements were graceful and free, which stunned the female cultivator.
"Wow! This is the sect's ancestor!"
"It's Grandma Qianluo! The idol!!!!!"
"How could I, a wooden-headed person, have forgotten? I couldn't tell her cultivation level because it was so high, and I just couldn't see it!" She slapped her forehead and ran after the figure, venting her passion. "Grandma, grandma, my name is Wen Yutong! Wen means culture, Yu means rain, and Tong means parasol tree!"
"Grandma, don't worry. I will work hard to learn alchemy and formations. I want to practice both alchemy and formations. I will work hard and will not let you down!"
Then, a ball of blue light fell from the sky. She looked closely and was overjoyed. It turned out to be a bottle of third-grade Spirit Gathering Pill.
"Practice hard, Wen Yutong."
"I will remember your name."
