Black Whale Blessed Land, a high-level cave residence.

This cave is located in a valley, and is a hundred feet in size.

There are formations in the cave that can gather spirits and isolate auras.

After Shen Lian entered the cave, he activated all the original formations in the cave, and also rearranged his own Five Elements Hunyuan Formation.

After some arrangements, half a day had passed.

He gently wiped the spirit beast bracelet with his palm, and Dahei jumped out at once.

"Owner……"

"There is a contract between you and me. If the master dies, you will not be able to survive either. Do you understand?"

Dahei nodded.

Shen Lian patted Dahei's head gently, then took out a handful of second-level Tiangang Thunder and Fire Talismans and stuck them on Dahei's body one by one.

"Master...Master...I am...scared..."

"Don't be afraid. If something happens, it will just go away with a bang. It won't hurt at all. Can the master lie to you?"

“…”

"Don't fight with your upper and lower fangs, I'm not afraid..."

"Master, this is just in case. Just in case... I mean just in case, someone rushes into the cave, you can throw the talisman out."

Dahei lay in the corner of the cave with a wronged look on his face, his two black eyes flashing constantly.

Shen Lian sat cross-legged beside the spiritual spring in the center of the cave, and his spiritual thoughts penetrated into the storage bag.

I checked the capital I had accumulated over the past three years.

A second-level low-grade talisman array plate, with seventy-two second-level talismans embedded in it.

In addition, when he inherited the throne to become a second-level lower-grade talisman master, he also inherited a set of Tiangang Disha Leihuo sequence talisman arrays.

This talisman formation is composed of a total of 108 second-level low-grade talismans. If all of them are activated without any effort, the power can be comparable to the late stage of foundation building.

In fact, there is also a set of Nine-Nine Heavenly Thunder Talisman Formation in the inheritance, which only requires eighty-one talismans, and its power is stronger than that of the Heavenly Gang and the Earthly Demons.

The Heavenly Thunder Liquid that can be used to draw talismans is hard to come by.

Shen Lian also thought about it and found that even if he had the Heavenly Thunder Liquid, the thunder was too explosive. If he did not advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, he would not be able to control it.

The means of attack is to be prepared for any eventuality.

What remains is the accumulated resources for practice.

In a flash, several jade bottles and jade boxes flew out of the storage bracelet.

Eight Treasures Essence Pill, Concentrating Sea Spirit Liquid, Qi Replenishing Pill, Tianxing Tea, and Three Treasures Pulse Protection Pill.

Although there was no foundation-building pill, Shen Lian had prepared everything else.

If his fire spirit root is perfected, he practices the golden elixir technique, and condenses the five elements of Taoism, but he is unable to build the foundation on his own, then what is the point of his becoming an immortal?

Turn left when you go out, go to the mortal world, marry three thousand wives, and start a family. Then we can directly turn the family into a cultivation center.

Of course, having said that, Shen Lian still prepared the Three Treasures Meridian Protecting Pill.

This pill is very rare. Shen Lian had never heard of this kind of pill in the alchemy world of Black Whale City. He found it from the pill recipe he inherited.

This pill is an upgraded version of the meridian-protecting pills on the market. Its function is to protect the heart meridian when the cultivator fails in building the foundation. It allows the cultivator to recuperate and then have another chance to build the foundation.

As for the Foundation Establishment Pill, it is really impossible to get it. The Hailing Sect does have it, but there are too many additional conditions to obtain it. It depends on when the other party is willing to give it out.

…

After the spirit gathering array in the cave was activated, spiritual energy as thick as fog enveloped Shen Lian, and his every breath could cause the spiritual fog to roll.

There was no rush to go into seclusion. Shen Lian took out the alchemy furnace and used it as a kettle. He began to boil water and make Tianxing tea.

For more than half a month, he took pills such as Babao Jingqi Pills every day.

In the past two years, his spiritual power has already reached the peak of Qi training, with no room for improvement. He did this to adjust his mental state.

This day.

Shen Lian, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes.

“It’s time to build the foundation!”

For cultivators, there are only two stages in building the foundation: spiritual consciousness and spiritual power.

The spiritual power of the foundation-building cultivator is liquid, and needs to be compressed from gas to transform into liquid to form the Dantian sea.

The Divine Mind Gate is to try to expand the Divine Mind and derive the Divine Mind Sea, which is similar to the Dantian Sea and serves as a storage place for Divine Mind.

The spiritual thoughts of Qigong practitioners have no support points, so they are below a hundred feet and their improvement is relatively slow.

When it comes to the foundation-building stage, the sea of ​​divine consciousness is opened up. In this small space, all mysteries are revealed and it becomes a place where divine consciousness accumulates.

Only at this time can the divine consciousness enter a period of rapid growth.

It is rumored that only when one’s divine consciousness reaches a hundred feet can one be considered to have reached the level of opening up the sea of ​​divine consciousness.

This is a bit difficult for many Qigong practitioners.

If the barrier of magic power is broken when breaking through the foundation, the divine consciousness generated by oneself will not be able to extend more than a hundred feet to reach the bottom line of opening up the sea of ​​divine consciousness, and the foundation will fail.

These two points are not difficult for Shen Lian.

With the five qi of Chaoyuan as a supplement, it is enough to achieve a qualitative change in spiritual power.

The divine consciousness is currently close to two hundred and thirty feet, which is far beyond the Qi training level, and is not weaker than some cultivators at the first or second foundation building level.

After adjusting his sitting posture, Shen Lian released his spiritual power.

The five elements of spiritual power that had been suppressed in the body suddenly began to circulate violently in the body after being freed from restraint.

Shen Lian looked inward at his body and began to practice his skills, gathering the five elements of spiritual power circulating between his dantian and the acupoints towards his dantian.

A large amount of spiritual power gathered in the Dantian, and turbulence began to appear in the Dantian. The five elements of spiritual power collided back and forth repeatedly, bombarding every part of the Dantian.

Shen Lian's expression also became serious, and he began to liquefy the turbulent gaseous spiritual power in his dantian.

After guidance, the first drop of liquid spiritual power was generated in the Dantian.

With a good start, he continued to guide the spiritual power in the meridians and acupoints towards his dantian, allowing the gaseous spiritual fluid to be continuously transformed into liquid.

As time goes by, a part of the liquidized spiritual fluid in Dantian begins to circulate in the meridians under the guidance of the practice.

Since the spiritual power that had previously passed through the meridians was only gaseous, it was a little difficult to resist the first surge of liquid spiritual power into the meridians.

The liquid spiritual power became even more violent, constantly hitting the meridians, and tingling began to spread throughout the body.

During this process, the meridians were repeatedly washed by liquid spiritual power and began to become more solid.

The first stage of foundation building, the spiritual power test, is just such a process.

If you are not careful, the meridians will be broken.

In this process, once the spiritual power is insufficient to complete the circulation of the meridians and the spiritual power cannot be returned to the Dantian, then opening up the Dantian sea will become an empty talk.

After sensing that most of the gaseous spiritual power in the Dantian had liquefied, the liquid spiritual power circulating at the other end of the meridians had not yet reached the Dantian and was unable to complete the first liquid spiritual power circulation. Shen Lian directly mobilized the Chaoyuan Five Qi.

Boom! The five energies of Chao Yuan that were entrenched in the positions of the five internal organs poured into the Dantian like five torrents, directly filling up the empty Dantian.

A steady stream of liquid spiritual fluid flowed into the meridians.

Soon, at the other end of the meridian circulation, the liquid spiritual power that had undergone a large circulation also returned to the Dantian, forming a complete circulation in the body.

The Dantian was still filled with energy derived from the five elements of Chaoyuan, which was constantly liquefying into liquid spiritual power. Gradually, the liquid spiritual power in the Dantian gathered into a small lake, turning into the core Dantian sea where spiritual power also circulated.

Boom! In the cave, the spiritual power gathered in the spirit gathering array formed a vortex several feet in size, pouring into Shen Lian's body, replenishing the deficiency of spiritual power after the advancement.

At the same time, as the spiritual power circulated, it began to wash every inch of the body, washing out the dirt in the pores.

…

Half a day later, the atmosphere in the cave calmed down.

Another day passed.

Shen Lian sitting cross-legged on the cushion.

His whole body trembled slightly, and waves began to grow between his flesh and blood. His essence, energy, and spirit merged into one at this moment, evolving into the power of divine consciousness and gathering in his skull.

Half a day later, a divine light suddenly appeared between the eyebrows.

The divine consciousness that was compressed into a point expanded and turned into an inch in size, generating a gurgling divine consciousness force that was as pure as spiritual liquid and as light golden as pulp.

In a flash, waves appeared in the inch-sized sea of ​​divine consciousness, and divine consciousness spread out like ripples.

Two hundred feet... three hundred feet... four hundred feet...

The foundation has been laid, please keep reading!

The author has mentioned at the end of the first chapter that the settings related to divine thoughts are redeemed.

Thank you fellow Taoists for your tips and suggestions.
