Chapter 119 The chance of this breakthrough is only 95%, too unstable!
Realm breakthrough is very dangerous, this is the consensus of almost all cultivators.
Even when breaking through the foundation-building stage, which is recognized by all cultivators as the "safest" stage.
There are also dangers that belong to this stage.
That is if the cultivator cannot achieve success in one go during the first breakthrough.
That will not only damage the foundation, but also greatly reduce the success rate of the next breakthrough.
After that, he was destined to be unable to achieve a Heavenly Dao Immortal Foundation above the third rank.
The price of this failure was undoubtedly unacceptable to Lu Chen, who was determined to achieve the foundation of the Heavenly Dao.
Therefore, even if Lu Chen already has the conditions to start a breakthrough.
But the first thing he did was not to choose a place for a breakthrough.
Instead, he first asked those who had completed the Heavenly Dao foundation in Qingyun Sect one by one.
See if you can learn from the experience of your predecessors and further improve your success rate in becoming a first-grade immortal.
The first person he found was Yi Hanqing, the chief third-grade Heavenly Dao foundation-building master of Cangjian Peak.
Qingyun Sect, Cangjian Peak.
"What's wrong, Junior Brother Lu? Is there something urgent you want to talk to me about?"
Yi Hanqing had gained a lot from his discussion with Shangguan Yunmeng, so he was preparing to find a place to go into seclusion.
After all, the True Immortal Trial will begin in five years.
Although Yi Hanqing was not interested in the so-called True Immortal inheritance in the True Immortal Trial.
He believed that relying on his status as the "number one genius of all time", he could completely ascend to heaven with his true abilities.
But he was still very interested in some special immortal techniques and natural treasures in the True Immortal Trial.
In addition, he felt that as long as he successfully entered the Hedao, he would be able to demonstrate his strength and potential.
I think the master will no longer stop him from freely falling in love with the "witch girl" in the mortal world.
Therefore, he attached great importance to this retreat.
If an ordinary person came to visit, Yi Hanqing would definitely refuse politely and then start his retreat.
But it was different when it came to Lu Chen.
Because he had sensed the existence of many kinds of sword intent during Lu Chen's discussion with Shangguan Yunmeng.
Although that feeling was fleeting.
But Yi Hanqing is very confident in his own judgment.
This Junior Brother Lu from Danyang Peak...
It is definitely not what others think. It is the sword intent that he comprehended during the discussion with Shangguan Yunmeng.
He should have understood the sword intent before the Five Peaks Discussion! He is like Shangguan Yunmeng of Yuxu Mountain, a peerless genius who understood the sword intent during the Qi training period! And for Yi Hanqing, who thinks highly of himself, only a genius like Lu Chen is worthy of his serious treatment.
Lu Chen looked at Yi Hanqing who opened the cave to greet him in his busy schedule, and said politely: "Greetings, Senior Brother Yi. I do have a few things I want to ask you this time. I wonder if it's convenient for you?"
Yi Hanqing was stunned for a moment, then he also noticed Lu Chen's perfect cultivation in the Qi training stage, and soon knew the purpose of his visit.
"Junior Brother Lu, you are here for the foundation-building matter, right?"
Lu Chen nodded, and then without wasting time, he asked directly: "I wonder what preparations did Senior Brother make when he was building his foundation, and how did he complete the Heavenly Dao foundation?"
I heard Lu Chen mention the words "Heavenly Dao Foundation Building".
A hint of pride suddenly appeared in Yi Hanqing's eyes.
Afterwards, he invited Lu Chen to his cave and began to talk about his foundation-building experience.
From his description, Lu Chen quickly understood how he had built his foundation back then.
Generally speaking, Yi Hanqing's foundation building was not complicated.
The things prepared are relatively conventional.
Magical formations to gather spirits, elixirs to restore spiritual power, elixirs to help with breakthroughs in the foundation-building stage, and some special magic weapons.
These things are what almost every cultivator prepares when building their foundation, and there is nothing special about them.
Yi Hanqing felt that the reason why he was able to complete the foundation of the Heavenly Dao back then.
The main reason is of course that he has good talent and a solid foundation.
But there is also a lot of luck involved in breakthroughs.
If he were to do it again, he would not be 100% sure that he could complete the Heavenly Dao Foundation Building again.
Hearing this, Lu Chen nodded calmly.
Then prepare to ask the next person.
But just when Lu Chen was about to leave, Yi Hanqing suddenly thought of something and reminded him, "Junior Brother Lu, although my method may not be useful, I think you can give it a try."
Lu Chen turned his head and asked curiously, "Brother, please speak."
"It's very simple. When you are in the foundation-building stage, it is best to choose an auspicious day."
"As for me, I chose to break through on my birthday. You can think about whether you should do the same."
"After all, this method is quite metaphysical, and I can't guarantee that it will work, brother."
Breakthrough on birthday?
Lu Chen thought for a moment, then thanked him: "Thank you for your reminder, Senior Brother. I will pay more attention to it."
"It's okay, it's okay. This is just a special method that I can't verify. The specific effect is unknown."
"But I think if you break through on your birthday, your mentality will definitely be much better than usual."
"After all, I am also a veteran, and I know very well how nervous a cultivator is when he or she breaks through for the first time."
Although Yi Hanqing said so, Lu Chen still thanked him: "Brother, you are right. I will learn from your teachings. I will not disturb you any further."
"It's okay, it's just a small favor."
After leaving Yi Hanqing's cave, Lu Chen rushed towards Qingyun Peak.
Soon, he found King Meow basking in the sun outside the cave.
"Brother Wumiao, Junior Brother Lu Chen is here to pay his respects."
Hearing Lu Chen's voice, the fat orange cat Meow King rolled over on the lawn and stood up from the ground.
"What's wrong, Junior Brother Lu? Why did you suddenly come to see me? Did Lao Jing ask you to come and ask me to play chess with him?"
Seeing Wu Miao Wang's puzzled look, Lu Chen explained, "It has nothing to do with Master. I am the junior brother who came to see you, Wu Miao Wang, because I have something to do."
King Meow looked at Lu Chen in surprise, then asked, "What's the matter?"
"Junior brother, I want to ask you what preparations you made when you were building your foundation that day, and how did you complete the Heavenly Dao foundation?"
"You're talking about this!"
King Wu Miao patted his bulging belly and said, "Actually, there was nothing special about my foundation building back then. After I reached a normal level of cultivation, I directly chose a place in the mountains to start trying to break through."
"If I have to say there is something special, it might be that Mr. Fox helped me write a poem "Ode to the Heaven" before I broke through."
"After all, Mr. Fox said that the Great Dao seems invisible, but it is actually tangible. Everything we do is under the watchful eyes of the Great Dao."
"So if I can have a better attitude and say some nice things to God when I'm breaking through, maybe it will be easier when I break through."
“So Mr. Hu helped me write a poem called “Ode to Heaven” and asked me to sing it to God when I have a breakthrough.”
"I'm not sure if the 'Song of Heaven' is useful, but my breakthrough was indeed smooth and I completed the foundation building process very quickly."
Hearing this, Lu Chen asked curiously, "Who is Mr. Fox?"
"You are talking about it. Mr. Fox is the only spiritual animal in our mountain who has read books, and he is the first spiritual animal to leave our Daliang Mountain. Many spiritual animals in our Daliang Mountain grew up with it."
Hearing this, the image of a fox with a feather fan and a scarf immediately emerged in Lu Chen's mind.
How could King Wumiao, a spiritual beast that originally lived in Daliang Mountain, end up running to the peaks next to Yuxu Mountain to cheat and deceive people, and even be captured by Yi Hanqing and sent to Qingyun Sect?
Perhaps guessing Lu Chen's thoughts, King Wumiao sighed and said, "You are probably wondering why I appeared around Yuxu Mountain, right?"
Lu Chen nodded.
"That's because Mr. Fox came down the mountain to take the imperial examination, and I thought there was nothing to do in the mountain, so I came down to play."
"Who knew that before I could play for long, I would be found by Yi Hanqing."
"In fact, if I think about it carefully, I was lucky at the beginning. If it was not Yi Hanqing but cultivators from other sects who came, they might have regarded me as a demon who was causing trouble and killed me."
"Don't be surprised. Not all sects in this world are the same as Qingyun Sect. It's better to let go than to kill the wrong person."
"Many sects don't care whether you are a spirit beast or a demon beast. When they meet you, they will try to subdue you first. If they can't subdue you, they will kill you directly. That is so unreasonable."
Lu Chen did not comment too much on the practices of other sects.
Because this is indeed a very common phenomenon.
But Lu Chen was indeed very curious about the fact that Mr. Fox went down the mountain to take part in the imperial examination.
Can foxes take part in the imperial examinations these days?
"Did Mr. Fox, whom you mentioned, pass the exam?"
"I don't know, but I think it should be okay."
"Because before I left Daliang Mountain, it was already a successful candidate in the Wei Dynasty."
"It said that if it passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar, it would ask the emperor to let it serve as an official in the area around Daliang Mountain. This way, many of the spirit beasts in Daliang Mountain would be able to visit the mortal world more often, and they wouldn't have to stay in the mountains all the time."
Hearing this, Lu Chen suddenly felt a little respect for Mr. Fox mentioned by King Meow.
A fox demon can actually have such foresight.
This is undoubtedly an anomaly in the spiritual beast world, which is accustomed to the law of the jungle.
Not to mention that it actually passed the imperial examination before King Meow Meow left.
I think Mr. Fox really put a lot of thought into earthly literature.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen said with emotion: "If I have time in the future, I really want to meet Mr. Fox that my senior brother mentioned. I think he must be an old man with outstanding knowledge and rich experience."
King Meow nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call you when I get back down the mountain. I'll be going down the mountain to take a look soon."
"After all, I have been away from Daliang Mountain for six or seven years. It is about time to go back and take a look."
"But Junior Brother, your current cultivation is still a little lacking. Let's talk about this matter after you have a breakthrough."
Lu Chen nodded and said goodbye to King Meow.
Like Yi Hanqing before, he still couldn't get any reliable breakthrough method from King Meow.
The only thing I got was a metaphysical method of "writing a "Song of Heaven" in advance".
Regardless of whether it is useful or not, it won’t cost much when you use it, so make a note of it!
After leaving Qingyun Peak, Lu Chen came to find the last person he wanted to visit this time.
That is his master, Taoist Linghuo, Jing Gong.
"What's wrong, Xiao Lu? Are you here to break through the foundation?"
Lu Chen nodded and said politely: "Master, I am here for a breakthrough."
"Before that, I would like to ask Master about some things I need to pay attention to when breaking through the foundation building stage, and whether there are any special things I need to prepare."
Upon hearing this, Jing Gong immediately asked Lu Chen to sit down and talked to him carefully about the foundation building matters.
According to Jing Gong's description, building a cultivator's foundation is actually a process of "gathering qi into liquid".
In this process, the cultivator's approximate foundation-building level has actually been determined before the foundation is built.
There are actually not many things that a monk can decide at the last minute.
After all, foundation building is different from the later stages of forming the elixir and forming the Nascent Soul.
Except for the first-grade Great Dao Immortal Foundation, most cultivators will not encounter heavenly tribulations when they are building their foundation.
Even the heavenly tribulation that occurs when one has a first-grade Dao Immortal Base is much smaller than the subsequent tribulations of Jindan and Yuanying, both in terms of intensity and number.
Therefore, most cultivators do not need to consider this issue when building their foundation.
To sum up, Jing Gong feels that there are actually two most important points when building the foundation.
One is to choose a safe environment, and the other is to adjust your mindset.
Because this is why many cultivators are unable to successfully build their foundation.
Either the foundation is unstable or the preparation is insufficient.
Or there's something wrong with your mentality.
Lu Chen's foundation and preparation were obviously sufficient, and now he just had to pay attention to his mentality.
On this point, what Jing Gong said was actually similar to what King Wumiao and Yi Hanqing said.
No matter whether Yi Hanqing chose to break through on his birthday.
It was King Meow who chose to write a "Song of Heaven" first to please the heavens before making a breakthrough.
In essence, they are all seeking psychological comfort so that they can be as calm as possible when they make a breakthrough.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen asked, "Then what did you do when you broke through, Master?"
Jing Gong thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I didn't do anything. I just took a shower, changed my clothes, adjusted my mindset, and then I made a breakthrough naturally."
After hearing this, Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "I see. Then I have an idea."
At this point, Jing Gong also understood that Lu Chen should be ready to start building his foundation.
So he immediately took out a storage bag and handed it to him.
"Please keep this storage bag. It contains a lot of pills that I made specifically for you to build your foundation, as well as some other things that can help you build your foundation."
"In addition, there is a key to a special cave inside. When you want to break through, you can go there to break through. It is located behind my cave."
"This way, I guarantee that no one will disturb you when you break through, and if anything unexpected happens to you, I can rush over as soon as possible."
Lu Chen took the storage bag and thanked him, "Thank you, Master."
"It's okay, after all, I went through the same thing back then."
"By the way, when you were in seclusion before, that Shangguan girl from Yuxu Mountain came to see you once."
"It's just that I saw that you seemed to have reached a critical moment, so I helped you reject her first."
"If you are free in the future, you can go to Yuxu Mountain to find her. I think she seems to have something to say to you."
Lu Chen was stunned, and then quickly figured out why Shangguan Yunmeng was looking for him.
If he was not mistaken, it was because he saw the shadow of the immortal in the Mingyue Sword Intent at that time.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen nodded and said, "Okay, Master, I will keep it in mind now."
Jing Gong smiled and said: "That girl is a true immortal. If you can really take her down, it will be a great achievement for our Qingyun Sect. I am optimistic about you!"
Looking at the weird expression on Jing Gong's face, Lu Chen's mouth twitched slightly.
He has not yet gotten it. He has only met him once or twice.
At most, she and I are just nodding acquaintances. Master, your suggestion of a lovebirds is a bit too blunt! Without dwelling on this topic, Lu Chen immediately said goodbye to Jing Gong and went to the special cave he had prepared for him.
Not long after, Lu Chen found a self-contained paradise behind the cave of Jing Palace.
After taking out the key to the cave, Lu Chen strode in.
As soon as he entered the cave, Lu Chen felt a strong spiritual power.
Upon closer inspection, there was actually a huge Qingyun apricot tree in the cave.
[Name: Qingyun Apricot Tree (5,000 Years Old)]
【Quality: Perfect】
[Effect: Can increase the concentration of spiritual power within a radius of ten kilometers by five times]
[Special Effect: Concentrate the Mind and Purify the Qi: It can calm the mind of the monk and prevent him from going astray.]
"No wonder Master wants me to break through here. With this 5,000-year-old Qingyun Apricot Tree, I can achieve twice the result with half the effort when breaking through."
In addition to this special Qingyun apricot tree, Lu Chen also saw many traces of formations in this cave.
There are many types of these formations, some are defensive formations, and some are spirit gathering formations.
There were also some formations whose effects Lu Chen could not see.
I think this place should be prepared by Jing Gong for himself to break through the Nascent Soul stage in the future.
It’s just that I’m about to make a breakthrough right now, so I’d like to borrow this cave for my use first.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen once again felt his position in Jing Gong's heart.
Although he is currently only an inner disciple, not a true disciple.
But in Jing Gong's opinion, he is no different from a true disciple.
As long as he completes his foundation, he will immediately become the true disciple of Danyang Peak.
Lu Chen came to the depths of the cave and immediately opened the storage bag given to him by Jing Gong.
Soon, the contents were taken out and placed in front of him.
There are quite a lot of things, but there are only a few important ones.
[Name: Foundation Building Pill]
【Quality: Perfect】
[Effect: After taking it, the success rate of foundation building can be greatly improved. A maximum of ten pills can be taken per day.]
【Name: Qi and Blood Pill】
【Quality: Perfect】
[Effect: After taking it, you can restore your own qi and blood in a short time, and can be taken multiple times]
【Resilience Pill】
【Quality: Perfect】
[Effect: After taking it, you can restore your spiritual power in a short period of time. It can be taken multiple times.]
Unlike ordinary pills, the efficacy will decrease after taking them multiple times.
The perfect quality of the pills proves that there are not too many impurities in them, and taking them multiple times will not cause much impact on the cultivators.
In addition to the elixir, Lu Chen also found two magic weapons in the storage bag.
That’s right, it’s not a magic weapon, but a magic treasure.
[Name: Shangqingyun Sword]
[Level: Second Realm (Can Grow)]
【Quality: Perfect】
[Entry 1: Breeze: The spirit sword rides on the wind, greatly increasing the speed of flying the sword]
[Item 2: Splitting Light: Can split into twelve swords to fight the enemy]
[Name: Nine Lights Spiritual Pearl]
[Level: Second Realm (Cannot Grow)]
【Quality: Perfect】
[Item 1: Spiritual Pearl Body Protection: Can form a protective aura to resist attacks below the Golden Core Stage]
[Item 2: Nourishing Spirits: Increases the spiritual power limit and spiritual power absorption speed of each spiritual root attribute by 1,000 points. Only effective for those below the Golden Core Stage]
Two magic weapons, one is the Shangqingyun Sword and the other is the Jiuyao Lingzhu.
These two magic weapons are very important to Lu Chen.
Especially the Nine-Star Spirit Pearl, this magic weapon brought a huge improvement to Lu Chen.
Because it increases the spiritual power limit of each spiritual root by 1,000 points.
And Lu Chen has the best five elements spiritual roots.
This is equivalent to giving Lu Chen an additional 5,000 points of spiritual power limit out of thin air.
Not to mention that it can also speed up Lu Chen's absorption of spiritual power.
There is no doubt that these two magic weapons were almost tailor-made for him.
Apparently, these were two magic weapons specially chosen for Lu Chen by Jing Gong after careful consideration.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen once again felt that under Jing Gong's seemingly unreliable appearance, he actually had a steady and reliable heart.
Following a master like this is indeed a promising future!
"I have found the breakthrough location, the elixir, and the magic weapon. I have the right time, the right place, and the right people. I already have the last two. Now I just need the right time."
Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately looked at his panel.
In fact, a few days ago, as his cultivation reached perfection in the Qi training stage, he had already unlocked the attribute panel of 'Realm Breakthrough'.
It was just that Lu Chen felt that the success rate of completing the first-grade Dao Immortal Foundation was not high at the time, so he was not in a hurry to break through.
【Foundation-building period breakthrough panel】
[Humanitarian foundation building success rate: 1%]
[Underground foundation success rate: 4%]
[Success rate of building foundation of Heavenly Dao: 95%]
"The success rate of successfully breaking through the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment this time is only 95%. I don't know how many of them belong to the first-grade Dao Immortal Foundation. It is too unstable."
"With the favorable geographical conditions and good people, I can no longer get any closer. I guess I can only seek the right time."
"Whether it's Yi Hanqing's selection of his birthday, or King Wu Miao's "Heavenly Ode", or Master Jing Gong's bathing and changing clothes..."
"Although they are all just metaphysical methods, if I implement them all, I think they should be able to improve the success rate of my Heavenly Dao foundation building to some extent."
It’s a coincidence, because the time ratio between games and reality is ten to one.
So three days later in the game, it will be his birthday.
Lu Chen was preparing to make a breakthrough on that day.
In addition, he also has to write a "Praise to Heaven" to see if he can please God and make his breakthrough smoother.
For this, he already had a complete breakthrough process in his mind.
'First, burn incense and take a bath to adjust your mindset.'
'Then sing praises to please God.'
'Finally, I kowtow three times and nine times to thank God.'
After going through this process, God should... be more easy to talk to, right?
Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately began to write his own "Song of Heaven"...
In addition, Lu Chen in reality also asked Chen Fugui for a lot of pills needed for breakthrough.
Reality games, two-pronged approach!
