Half a day later.

Shen Lian shook his head. No matter how much he thought about it, he still had no clue. This was too difficult for him, a young cultivator at the ninth level of Qi training.

Even if the guess is correct, only when Chengzong becomes the ancestor will he be qualified to consider this matter.

This speculation can only be put on the table for now.

"Tianyan Fire Region."

Then, Shen Lian mobilized his spiritual power. The fire power among the five elements was originally red, but now it had a hint of gold, and the aura also became different.

It became even more intense, exuding a breath of destruction.

It seems that this should be the qualitative change after the fire spirit root is perfected.

After resting for a few days, Shen Lian left the Anwen Cave and appeared on a deserted island.

He casually cast a first-level spell, Fire Spirit Spell.

This fire magic is common in the world of immortal cultivation. When performed by a person at the ninth level of Qi training, it can produce a fireball or flames of different shapes.

At this moment, after Shen Lian performed it, it evolved into a firebird mixed with golden flames, and its aura suddenly surpassed the original appearance of the Qi training level spell.

Boom! The firebird fell, and all the soil, rocks, and vegetation within a radius of fifty feet were burned into black, red, and other colored crystals by the flames. The splashing energy even covered a hundred feet away.

Shen Lian looked at his hands and then at the ground.

He casually threw out a second-grade inferior Tiangang Thunder and Fire Talisman.

The talisman swept out instantly, thunder rumbled, and fire shot up into the sky, mainly covering the area within a radius of more than ten feet nearby.

Shen Lian once again used the Fire Spirit Technique. The firebird spread its wings and flew out. The golden flames covered the raging fire derived from the Thunder and Fire Talisman, tearing apart the thunder and fire pressure released by the talisman and suppressing it easily.

With the blessing of the fire element magic, the power of the first-level spell has reached the foundation-building level.

Then Shen Lian took out a few Tiangang Thunder and Fire Talismans, activated them together and threw them out.

Boom! The firebird descended with golden-red flames all over the sky, shattering the lightning and fire attacks formed by the five Tiangang Thunder and Fire Talismans into a piece of broken energy, and then gradually consumed all the energy.

Shen Lian sensed the spiritual power in his body and found that it was less than one tenth.

Staring blankly at the dancing flames, the corners of his mouth twitched.

"I practice the five elements."

The power of the Tiangang Thunder and Fire Talisman is between the first and third levels of foundation building. The reason for this difference in attack power comes from the different spiritual inks used to draw the talisman.

Second-level spiritual ink requires second-level monster blood as the main ingredient. The strength of the monster and the process of mixing it will result in differences in the power of the talisman.

No matter what, Shen Lian also came to the conclusion that the power of the first-level spell blessed by the Tianyan Fire Domain is at least comparable to the third level of foundation building.

It seems that I need to study this magical power more in the future.

Shen Lian did not feel proud for too long. He took out his magic weapon and began to divide up the ruins in the area. He then put them into his storage bag and quickly left.

On the way, when crossing the ocean, the collected ruins crystals were scattered into the sea in batches.

After doing all this, he returned to Black Whale City.

After returning to Jingxin Danpu and resting for a day, Shen Lian's fluctuating mood calmed down.

Thinking back on it again and again afterwards, he felt that the appearance of the Tianyan Fire Domain magical power was nothing to be surprised about.

A spiritual root is complete. In other words, it can also be regarded as tracing back to the source.

Although he still doesn't understand why he sees endless flames, it would be abnormal if his magical power did not have such power.

He even felt that his magical powers were not powerful enough.

If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have felt dizzy and would have looked at more fire scenes.

“Perhaps we need to observe that fire region more deeply to further enhance the power of our magical powers.”

After thinking about it, Shen Lian had a guess in his mind.

But he had no idea how to enter that kind of scene again.

After three years in Black Whale City, it is time to achieve the original goal.

The fire spiritual root was upgraded to perfection, and the other four spiritual roots also entered the category of intermediate spiritual roots.

The ninth level of Qi training has been completed.

The five qi of Chaoyuan have also formed the foundation of the five elements.

The east wind has arrived, and it is time to lay the foundation.

In the following time, Shen Lian practiced every morning, made pills in the afternoon, and rested at night.

Occasionally go out to purchase some spiritual items.

It looks no different than before.

I was busy until two months later.

Letting the Luo Yang siblings look after the store, Shen Lian headed towards the north city of Black Whale City.

The North City is an accommodation area with many inns and high-end caves built on the mountain.

After much consideration, Shen Lian decided to build a foundation in the city.

There is no other reason, there is a big formation in the city, so it is safe.

A promotion to the foundation building stage has no impact at all on the Hailing Sect, and they don't care at all.

The blocks in the north city were obviously much better than other places, with rows of exquisite attics, rolling hills and springs surrounding them, and the concentration of spiritual energy was also higher than in other city districts.

Shen Lian had already done some research. The best spiritual cave in the North City was called the Black Whale Blessed Land, which was built on a second-level spiritual vein.

Those who live here are either foundation-building cultivators or cultivators from wealthy families.

In the past, many cultivators at the ninth level of Qi training would spend a huge amount of money to come here to build their foundation, just to take advantage of the spiritual veins.

The Black Whale Paradise is built between several hills in the center of the north city. There is a waterfall flowing down from the top of the mountain. From a distance, it is surrounded by mist and rain, and looks like a fairyland.

In the attic, a young monk dressed in the Hailing Sect's sect uniform was sitting cross-legged. After sensing the movement, he opened his eyes casually.

"What level of house do you plan to rent, fellow Daoist?"

Without asking Shen Lian's name, Chi Wencan asked directly.

There are only two levels of houses in the Black Whale Blessed Land, and there are a total of twenty-four high-level cave dwellings, all of which are located on the second-level spiritual veins.

There are one hundred and eight second-rate cave dwellings, built on the edge of the spiritual vein.

Chi Wencan did not start to introduce. In his opinion, the cultivators who came here must know about the Black Whale Blessed Land. Asking a disciple of the Sea Spirit Clan to introduce it to the casual cultivators would be counterproductive to Tiangang.

The Hailing Sect can earn spirit stones even when standing still.

Since you have the courage to come, you must want to rent a cave here. As for not renting it after you come... hehe...

If you play with the inner disciples of Hailing Sect, the consequences will definitely be very funny.

“High-level cave.”

Shen Lian didn't care about Chi Wencan's ugly face.

Anyway, we will never meet again in the future, so I wish him to have facial paralysis for the rest of his life.

"The rental period for this blessed land starts from one month. The spirit stones will not be refunded if you have not occupied the full period."

Glancing at Shen Lian, Chi Wencan spoke calmly, "The rent is 600 spirit stones a month. The spirit gathering array and other facilities in the cave require additional spirit stones."

Those who have reached the ninth level of Qi training and come to rent a high-level cave residence are most likely doing so to forcibly build their foundation. There are too many such cultivators in Black Whale City.

The Black Whale Blessed Land earns its money from the spirit stones of this type of cultivators.

"By the way, this blessed land also provides an additional service of notifying family members. It costs 100 spirit stones in Black Whale City, and different spirit stones according to the distance outside Black Whale City."

“…”

The corners of Shen Lian's mouth twitched. How thoughtful.

Even a service for delivering suicide notes has been set up.

If a cultivator who wants to build a foundation fails, he will most likely die.

"No need."

Chi Wencan nodded. Apparently he was alone, so he continued to speak verbatim.

"This blessed land also provides a collection service, which is personally provided by a female cultivator in the late stage of Qi training... Wanghai Mountain in the south of Black Whale City has beautiful scenery and a terrain that is like a dragon coiling and a tiger crouching. Daoist friends, please..."

“Of course, if you can afford the spirit stones, a female senior who has established her foundation can send you off on your journey…”

"cough……"

The corner of Shen Lian's mouth twitched.

Damn, I wish you facial paralysis for generations.

"As long as you pay an extra 500 spirit stones, you can enjoy the subsequent..."

Chi Wencan's eyelids drooped, not caring about Shen Lian's expression changes, and finished his words word by word.

This is the necessary process for this sect mission.

Shen Lian also realized that people were not cursing him alone, but were cursing any cultivator who came here to build a foundation.

It belongs to the sect culture.

The Hailing Sect... is really awesome.

After reading out all the rules and regulations verbatim, Chi Wencan stretched out his hand and a scroll opened in front of Shen Lian.

This is a virtual map that marks the location of each cave.

"The ones with black light are occupied by Taoist friends, and the ones with green light are unoccupied. Taoist friends can choose whichever one they like."

Shen Lian took a look and found that half of the twenty-four caves were inhabited.

"That's it."

Finally, he chose a residence near a valley, which was relatively remote and the caves nearby were uninhabited.

…

When Shen Lian was choosing a cave, it was in the XC area of ​​Black Whale City.

Pei Huoyu, wearing a loose robe and with a round face, was walking slowly on the street with his hands in his sleeves.

Between the hands, the five elements of Taoism are hidden in the palms, nourished by the five elements of spiritual power.

He was like a staggering old man, walking slowly on the street, attracting a lot of people's attention.

Pei Huoyu didn't care about this at all. He had already confirmed that the Five Elements Mountain was in Black Whale City.

But the breath is sometimes there and sometimes not, and it is impossible to locate the specific location.

However, he was certain that anyone who could control the Five Elements Mountain must be a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Over the past few days, he had secretly investigated many Foundation Establishment cultivators in the city.

As long as this person is still in Black Whale City, he will definitely be able to catch him.

The next chapter is about building the foundation. Some Taoist friends said that the five elements of spiritual roots should be completed before building the foundation.

The author briefly shares his opinion, which is to let things develop naturally, and complete the spiritual roots before achieving the golden elixir. This was set by the author from the very beginning.

The core of this book is not to be arrogant and show off. In previous novels, the protagonists had to have all kinds of magical tools and opportunities all at once, but now the author tends to develop them bit by bit.

There is also the issue of divine consciousness. After looking at the previous part carefully, I realized that if there are too many changes to be made from scratch, some of the already established plots will need major changes. Therefore, the bugs related to divine consciousness will be fixed when laying the foundation in the next chapter.

Today is the fourth round of recommendations, and also the last round of regular recommendations. Next week will be the Sanjiang recommendation. You need to work harder to read and see if there is a chance to be on Sanjiang!
