The three Zhao sisters stayed in the other courtyard for three days, and then returned home with the elders of the Emei Sect. Li Yu and Zhou Zixuan also began to stay behind closed doors, spending all their time compressing their magic power and making preparations for foundation building.
.
There are no years to practice, half a year is fleeting.
In the past six months, the world of cultivating immortals has been quite peaceful, with nothing major happening.
It's nothing more than Tiandao Sect recruiting a few more talented disciples, annihilating a small evil sect with bad records, discovering a resource-rich secret realm, and blocking all entrances, not allowing people from other sects to enter.
Those who had entered were also forcibly evicted...
These are the routine operations of Tiandao Sect, and people who are familiar with the world of cultivating immortals will not find it very strange.
Several things happened in Kunlun Cave, which caused a short-term heated discussion.
First of all, a certain founder of the late Nascent Soul found a pair of twins with extremely outstanding talents during a trip. Although their talents were not as good as those of Junior Sister Jiang from the Tianling Pulse, they were better than some core disciples.
It is much higher. It can be said that the talent is second only to the Heavenly Spiritual Vein. If nothing unexpected happens, the future achievements will be at least Nascent Soul.
The founder of the late Nascent Soul stage immediately accepted them as his direct disciples. In the past six months, he applied for a lot of resources from the sect, and brought them from two ordinary people to the foundation building stage, and they have a lot of resources in the sect.
Quite a reputation.
This naturally attracted the envy of countless disciples. For the cultivation of these geniuses, not only did the sect provide elixirs to refine Qi to the bottleneck of foundation building, but also the founders in the Nascent Soul stage spent great mana to help them break through. In half a year, they exceeded
Most of the disciples have practiced hard for decades.
The second thing is about the talented girl of Cuiweifeng. In the last Alchemy Apprentice Competition, due to the appearance of Li Yu, Junior Sister Zheng of Cuiweifeng only came in third place.
A year later, Junior Sister Zheng easily won the first place in the competition with a furnace of nine top-quality elixirs. Four months later, she easily won the first-class alchemy competition again, replicating Li Yu's legend last year.
The Alchemy Peaks caused quite a stir.
This kind of talent is rare in history, even in Kunlun where there are many alchemy masters.
After winning the first-grade alchemy competition, in just half a month, she successfully established her foundation, passed the second-grade alchemist examination, and was promoted to the second-grade alchemist at the age of sixteen.
There is no doubt that the Kunlun Alchemy lineage and her era have come.
She and Li Yu are known as Kunlun's "Alchemy Twins".
This name has even spread to the outer sect, and like the Seven Sons of Kunlun, it is generally known by all sects.
One of the Alchemy Twins has been very popular in Kunlun in the past six months. But half a year ago, Li Yu, who would cause heated discussions in the sect every few days, unknowingly, there has been no news for half a year.
.
Only at the end of the month and the beginning of the month, his figure will appear at Lingyun Peak and Tianzhu Peak. Every ten and a half days, the disciples of Yuzhu Peak will also see him. The rest of the time, he will never leave his side.
The other hospital did not do anything that attracted much attention.
However, although Li Yu no longer exists in Kunlun, there are still legends about him.
Five months ago, several Kunlun disciples who were out on a mission encountered a powerful Snow Wolf King while hunting a group of snow wolves. They were almost wiped out by the wolves led by the Snow Wolf King. At the critical juncture, several
The disciples of the Soul Refining Sect suddenly appeared.
Those Kunlun disciples originally thought that even if they were not eaten by monsters, they would die at the hands of the Soul Refining Sect disciples, and their souls would be difficult to escape and become their ghost ghosts.
But those disciples of the Soul Refining Sect not only did not take advantage of others' danger, but also extended a helping hand to them and helped them kill the wolves. After taking away the wolf souls, they even left the snow wolves' fur and spiritual blood with them.
Kunlun and the Soul Refining Sect, one good and the other evil, have different stances. When the disciples of the two sects meet outside, although they won't kill each other as soon as they meet, they will definitely not be so friendly.
This incident caused quite a heated discussion in Kunlun at that time.
Later, they discovered that it wasn't just the Soul Refining Sect that was friendly.
Three months ago, a Kunlun disciple met a Hehuan Sect disciple while collecting an elixir in a secret place.
According to past practice, the disciples of the two factions will definitely fight, and the outcome of the battle will determine the ownership of the elixir.
I thought that the two of them would have a fierce fight over this elixir, but the Hehuan Sect disciple was very polite to the Kunlun disciple. Not only did he join forces with him to repel a monster guarding the elixir, but he also generously killed the elixir.
The elixir was given to him.
At the same time, several Kunlun disciples discovered a small star iron mine in a secret cave. They reported it to the sect and would have received a heavy reward. However, the star iron mine they discovered was arbitrarily occupied by several Tiandao Sect disciples.
, violently drive them away...
Some new disciples who have just started don’t know much about the forces in the world of immortality. They once thought that the Tiandao Sect is a demonic sect, while the Soul Refining Sect and the Hehuan Sect are the righteous brother sects. Although their names don’t sound very nice, they
To Kunlun disciples, he really looks after them like a door...
Later, the Kunlun disciples gradually found out that the reason why the disciples of the two sects took such good care of them was because of Li Yu.
When he was in the Thousand Poison Cave, he was kind to the geniuses of the Demonic Path. He once specially asked the geniuses of the two factions, hoping that they would take more care of the Kunlun disciples when they met outside.
When many Kunlun disciples learned about this, they were extremely moved.
For someone like Senior Brother Li who always thinks about the Kunlun disciples, there are still people who suspect him of having an affair with the devil. Do they really have no conscience?
Ziyunfeng, No. 69 Villa.
Li Yu has not been seen in public for half a year. Every month, apart from going to Lingyun Peak to collect elixirs and receiving inferior elixirs, going to Tianzhu Peak to hand over Zijin, and going to Yuzhu Peak to see Jiang Li, he occasionally leaves the sect.
Meet Xu Yi and Tian Qi.
He spent most of his time practicing.
His hard work was not in vain. Just now, he finally compressed all the magic power of the five spiritual veins into ten acupuncture points.
The Foundation Building Pill selects spiritual veins at random, so he cannot select a certain spiritual vein to build the foundation first. He can only compress the mana in all the spiritual veins to the extreme, and then build the foundation at the same time.
After the mana from the seventy-two acupuncture points is compressed to ten acupuncture points, it will become extremely thick. It will be more difficult and take longer to compress it again. Generally, when it reaches this level, it is necessary to resort to the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Li Yu sat cross-legged in the quiet room, a white pill appeared in his hand.
On the elixir, two elixir patterns are faintly visible.
This is a mid-grade foundation-building pill. The foundation-building pill is a third-grade elixir, which is more difficult to refine. Even a third-grade alchemist would find it difficult to refine a top-grade pill.
However, a mid-grade Foundation Establishment Pill is enough. After all, most immortal cultivators will only take one or a few Foundation Establishment Pills in their lifetime. The erysipelas accumulated in the body is not much, and it takes a little time to refine them all.
Li Yu held this middle-grade foundation-building pill in his hand. After a while, sweat appeared on his forehead. He stretched out his palm again. The pill lines on the pill had turned into three lines.
As the quality of the elixir increases by one level, the possibility of breaking through the realm will be greater.
Without hesitating for long, Li Yu put the Foundation Building Pill into his mouth.
After the elixir entered his mouth, it turned into a powerful flow of spiritual power and hit a spiritual vein in his body. This foundation-building pill chose the fire spiritual vein. Li Yu's body was shaken, and he only felt that the spiritual power was there.
Under the collision, the mana in his fire spirit veins was compressed all the way, and soon broke through ten acupuncture points.
Nine, eight, seven...
Although the process of forcibly compressing spiritual power is somewhat painful, it is still within the tolerable range.
Finally, after the mana of the fire spirit vein was compressed to three acupoints, the flow of spiritual power slowly dissipated.
Obviously, the first Foundation Building Pill did not allow him to successfully build the Foundation.
However, Li Yu was not panic at all. In the past six months, he had saved more than 20 Foundation Establishment Pills, and it didn't matter even if he wasted a few.
He took out a Foundation Building Pill again, purified it, and continued to try.
This foundation-building pill chose water spirit veins, but it still failed to build the foundation once. All the mana was compressed into four acupuncture points.
Li Yu's luck was not good. The next three foundation-building pills fairly chose the other three spiritual veins. None of the spiritual veins succeeded in establishing the foundation. Except for the fire spiritual vein, the mana of the other four spiritual veins were all destroyed.
Compressed into four acupuncture points.
In the past, he mainly relied on pills to improve his cultivation. Compared with those disciples, he couldn't see the difference in talent.
But when it comes to foundation building, the gap becomes obvious. For those disciples with small talents, one foundation building pill can successfully build the foundation, but his talent requires two pills. For those who are worse than his talent, two pills may be needed.
Not enough.
Fortunately, he has a rich net worth, so if five Foundation Establishment Pills are not enough, ten will be enough.
Li Yu once again took out a Foundation Establishment Pill, purified it and put it into his mouth. This Foundation Establishment Pill chose the Water Spirit Vein. The Water Spirit Vein had just been able to compress all the mana into four acupoints. The entrance of this Foundation Establishment Pill, then
The flow of spiritual power easily compressed all the mana into one acupuncture point.
At this time, the originally gaseous mana in the spiritual veins was finally compressed into a drop of liquid.
Even if the flow of spiritual power disappeared, this drop of liquid mana did not turn into a gaseous state again, but produced a suction force. The spiritual energy around Li Yu was attracted by it and began to slowly gather into his body.
This method of absorption was too slow, so Li Yu directly took a second-level Qi-recovering pill. After entering the pill, it instantly turned into spiritual power and surged into the water spirit veins.
After a moment, Li Yu felt a liquid thread running through the water spirit veins. Li Yu was surprised. Is this the magic power of the foundation building stage?
Judging from the energy fluctuations, the mana in the early stage of foundation building seems to be only five times as rich as the peak of Qi refining, but the degree of concentration of the mana is not the same.
This liquid thread, which seems to be only as thick as a hair, contains extremely huge energy.
Li Yu shot out a water arrow with a flick of his finger. The wall of his room was directly pierced by the water arrow. The water arrow shot out and even the protective formations in other courtyards fluctuated violently.
Li Yu was shocked when he saw this scene. The power of an ordinary little spell cast during the foundation-building stage and during the Qi-refining stage were completely different.
He took out four more Foundation Building Pills, purified them, and drank them one by one.
With the first Foundation Establishment Pill as a base, the second Foundation Establishment Pill went smoothly. After taking these four Foundation Establishment Pills, the mana of the five spiritual veins in Li Yu's body was all transformed into a thin liquid thread.
.
Five spiritual veins, all building the foundation.
At this time, almost two years have passed since he successfully channeled Qi, and it has been four years since he embarked on the path of cultivating immortality.
After building the foundation, Li Yu clearly had a feeling that his longevity had increased significantly compared to when he was refining Qi. This was the intuition of immortal cultivators. It was indescribable, but it was real.
After establishing the foundation of the Five Spirit Meridians, Li Yu turned his attention to the Second Meridian of Ren and Du.
During the past six months, in addition to compressing his magic power, Li Yu also tried to compress his true energy.
He was not slow at compressing the true energy. With the help of the magic power of the Five Spirit Meridians, he compressed it to fifteen acupoints in half a year. Unfortunately, the Foundation Establishment Pill was useless against the Rendu Second Meridian. He could only complete the martial arts foundation building by himself.
After all five spiritual veins were established, the fused mana also underwent a qualitative transformation. Li Yu tried to use it to compress the true energy in Ren Du's second vein. As expected, the fused mana compressed the true energy.
, the whole journey was overwhelming, Li Yu didn’t put much effort, all the zhenqi was compressed to an acupuncture point, and turned into a drop of liquid...
The feeling he had when he opened up the Ren and Du meridians reappeared. When the true energy liquefied, he suddenly became extremely hungry. The drop of liquid was devouring all the energy in his body.
At the same time, a lot of black substance was once again deposited on Li Yu's body.
Fortunately, Li Yu had enough elixirs. Bottles of Peiyuan elixirs entered his abdomen, and after being converted into energy, they were absorbed by the Ren and Du meridians, and finally transformed into a trace of liquid Qi, which filled the entire meridians.
Li Yu raised the middle finger and index finger of his right hand together, and an invisible force of energy came out from his fingers. The hard jade bed was like made of tofu, and was directly penetrated by the energy.
The release of true energy is a sign of establishing the foundation of martial arts.
Once the true energy can leave the body, it can easily decapitate people ten feet away. Compared with immortal cultivators, the disadvantage of martial arts in lower realms will no longer exist.
Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief. After building the foundation, he finally took the first step on the long road of cultivation.
He walked out of the room, and a white shadow that was playing in the courtyard flew into Li Yu's arms. I don't know if it was because of his practice. In the past two years, Ling'er has not grown much. At first glance, he would just think it was a shadow.
A larger white cat.
But if you really think of it as a big cat and think it is easy to bully, you would be completely wrong.
In the past six months, Li Yu has collected several Jade Spirit Fruits from Xu Yi and Tian Qi every month, and refined a lot of Tongmai Pills. Together with the waste pills recovered from the sect every month, the spirit pills have been refined for a long time.
Feed the child until the Qi refining is complete.
Now, all eighty-one acupuncture points of the spiritual veins in its body have been opened, and it is following Li Yu's guidance to try to compress its magic power and build its foundation in the past few months.
Even though it looks cute and cute, even those at the peak of Qi refining who have cultivated a single spiritual vein are no match for Ling'er.
Zhou Zixuan stood in the yard watering the flowers. The flowers, plants and trees in the garden grew more lush and seemed to have endless vitality. This was also because her wood spiritual veins had been established.
Zhou Zixuan established the foundation a few days earlier than Li Yu.
It's not that her talent is better than Li Yu's, but that Li Yu has too many foundation-building pills, which saves her the time to compress her mana. After reaching the peak of Qi refining, she doesn't actually have to compress her mana by herself. If conditions permit, she can
Directly use the Foundation Establishment Pill.
However, if you compress it to a certain level first, you can build the foundation with one or two Foundation Building Pills.
If you want to save time, you have to spend more Foundation Building Pills. Five or six pills may not be able to stop them. Even those disciples of Yuanying Patriarch cannot afford such luxury. People like Li Yu who cultivate the Five Spiritual Veins
, the required number of Foundation Establishment Pills is larger.
Zhou Zixuan is different. She only has a single spiritual pulse. Li Yu has the capital to let her be extravagant. In half a year, she compressed her magic power to the level of thirty acupuncture points. Li Yu used four Foundation Building Pills to successfully build her
Gay.
Therefore, she established the foundation a few days earlier than Li Yu.
Looking back on the past few years of practice, the most correct thing Li Yu did was probably to listen to Senior Sister Xu's advice and become an alchemist.
I must repay her well if I have the chance.
After a while, Li Yu walked out of the other courtyard. Several old people were still playing cards at the door. Ziyunfeng seemed to be the same as half a year ago, but the aura on their bodies was more vicissitudes and decay than half a year ago. It seemed that not half a year had passed.
, but half a century.
In the few years when longevity is approaching, the bodies of immortal cultivators will decay rapidly. This is also normal. The current appearance of these people is better than that of Elder Sun back then, but not much better. They are only a few days away from returning to the ruins.
years.
Lao He raised his drooping face, glanced at Li Yu, his cloudy eyes moved, and asked, "Has the foundation been established?"
Li Yu nodded and said, "We just established the foundation."
The movements of the several foundation-building old men were all paused. When they looked at Li Yu, they felt not only envy but also deep complexity.
They saw the shadow of themselves in Li Yu.
Two hundred years ago, they were so high-spirited and high-spirited. Everyone had the dream of golden elixir in their hearts, just like Li Yu now. But in the blink of an eye, two hundred years have passed...
After leaving Ziyun Peak, Li Yu went to a mountain peak where Dharma disciples lived.
That's where Chen Ming lives.
Both he and Zhou Zixuan had successfully built the Foundation, and there were still a dozen Foundation-Building Pills left. Ling'er couldn't use so many, and the extra ones were useless to Li Yu. He naturally thought of his friends from back then.
Chen Ming's talent is not very good to begin with, so naturally the sooner he builds his foundation, the better.
Li Yu didn't have many friends, Chen Ming was one of them. Although the two had some unpleasant experiences, they had experienced life and death together. What's more, that guy also promised to make him a prince and choose a concubine for him. Just based on this intention
, it is worth two Foundation Building Pills.
When he arrived at Chen Ming's residence, Li Yu knocked on the door, but no one responded for a long time. He thought Chen Ming had gone out to refine purple gold, but the courtyard next door opened with a creak, and a disciple walked out and asked:
"Are you looking for Chen Ming?"
Li Yu nodded and asked, "Is he not at home?"
The disciple shook his head and said, "He no longer lives here."
Li Yu was stunned for a moment and asked: "He moved?"
The disciple showed envy on his face and said: "I moved. I moved more than three months ago. I really don't know what's so good about this guy. He was actually noticed by a third-level alchemist and made him a Taoist companion."
, and gave him the Foundation Building Pill to build the Foundation. Damn it, how am I inferior to him? This world is so fucking ungrateful. It makes me so angry..."
When the disciple mentioned Chen Ming, he was obviously very angry. He cursed and closed the door. Li Yu walked far away and heard him cursing in the yard.
Li Yu could feel that kind of sourness from dozens of feet away.
However, it should be said that that disciple is really not as good as Chen Ming. Although Chen Ming's appearance is not as good as his, he is still decent, and can even be said to be a little handsome. After all, he is a secular royal family, and his parents have similar genes.
Where to go, otherwise the previous Elder of the Foundation Establishment Stage would not take a fancy to him.
Especially after he came to Kunlun and endured the hardships of cultivation, his whole person was no longer cynical and had a decadent temperament. This type is still very attractive to middle-aged and elderly women.
But his ability to meet a third-grade alchemist was beyond Li Yu's expectations.
A third-level alchemist can refine the Pulse-Opening Pill. Even if you give Chen Ming one pill a year, he can reach the peak of foundation building within fifty years. If you give him one pill a month, he will reach the peak of foundation building in less than ten years.
If you can complete the foundation building and have more than two hundred years of life left, you can form a golden elixir with your eyes closed and fulfill Elder Sun's lifelong wish...
Although he was not very talented, he always practiced the life motto that Elder Sun taught him.
The sect had many golden elixir masters, but not many third-grade alchemists, and even fewer female alchemists. Li Yu easily found out Chen Ming's new address.
When he saw Chen Ming again, Li Yu discovered that he had indeed established the foundation. Not only had he successfully established the foundation, but his magic power was also deeper than that of the immortal cultivator who had just established the foundation, at least to the extent of having his pulse expanded five times.
It seemed that the third-grade alchemist was very kind to him.
Li Yu smiled at him and said, "Congratulations on establishing the foundation. I originally wanted to give you two foundation-building pills, but I didn't expect you to be one step ahead of me..."
The two reminisced about old times, and Li Yu couldn't help but asked curiously: "How did you do that, kid?"
Chen Ming lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "The royal family of the Chen Kingdom has a secret technique... you know."
Li Yu raised her eyebrows: "Elaborate..."
After a while, Li Yu and Chen Ming said goodbye.
When he left, he left behind a bottle of second-level Yuan-preserving Pill and took away a book of secret techniques.
Later, Li Yu came to Yuzhu Peak.
Now that he comes to Mount Yuzhu, it is no different from going home. The disciples guarding the peak have long been exempted from notification. Li Yu can also walk through the various halls of Mount Yuzhu at will. When he came to Jiang Li's residence, Xu Qingxin was talking to Jiang Li.
While chatting, he saw Li Yu come in and left silently, standing at the door of the palace, habitually letting the two of them have a look.
In the past six months, Li Yu successfully built the foundation, and Jiang Li also successfully formed the elixir.
Her water spirit vein is the heaven spirit vein, and there was no bottleneck in the golden elixir before. She only joined the sect for two years, and with the help of Patriarch Xuanzhen, without taking the realm-breaking pill, her water spirit vein formed the elixir first and entered the golden elixir stage.
The other four spiritual veins are still some distance away from the peak of foundation building. After all, the monthly share of Tuomai Pill is too small. Even if she has Tianling veins, if they are all given to her, the other Yuan Ying ancestors of the sect will not agree.
.
Senior Sister Xu was beside her, and the two of them just held hands. After Jiang Li formed the elixir, Master Xuanzhen no longer restricted her freedom. Li Yu patted her on the head and said, "Let's go out and take you to eat something good.
Piaoxiang Pavilion has added several new dishes..."
When passing by Xu Qingxin, Li Yu said: "Senior Sister Xu, let's come too, oh, let's go, let's go, what are you so polite about as a family..."
