Zhou Xuanhao went into seclusion to attack the foundation, which was a big event for the entire Zhou family.
All in all, no one from the Zhou family has tried to build a foundation for decades. The last monk from the Zhou family who didn't take the "Foundation Building Pill" to build a foundation was a member of the Zhou family who had the name "Light" more than fifty years ago.
elder.
Therefore, after Zhou Xuanhao entered the retreat room, not only Zhou Yang and Lin Yuting stayed outside the retreat room to protect him, but Zhou Xuantai and Zhou Xuanbin, the two elders of the Zhou family, also temporarily put down everything they were doing to join the protectors.
in the team.
It makes sense for them to be so cautious.
This is because when a cultivator builds the foundation, not only the magic power of his whole body cannot be moved at all, but also his mind cannot be disturbed by any external force.
At this time, there is no need for anyone to directly attack the immortal cultivators in the foundation building. As long as they make some noise outside the spiritual veins of "Haoyang Cave" and stir up the spiritual energy of the spiritual veins, it is possible to disturb the surrounding cultivators in the foundation building.
Xuan Hao, causing its direct foundation construction to fail.
Therefore, before attacking the foundation building level, cultivators will first ensure the safety of the outside environment and let their closest and most trusted people stay outside the retreat room to protect themselves. Only then can they dare to attack the foundation building level with confidence.
Generally speaking, there is a time limit for cultivators to attack the foundation period, which can be as short as one month or as long as three months. If there is no news after three months, it is 100% a failure.
After Zhou Xuanhao went into seclusion, for the first month, Zhou Yang and others were still meditating and reading outside with calm expressions.
However, when a month passed without any movement in the retreat room, Zhou's mother, Lin Yuting, felt a little unbearable at first, and a look of anxiety appeared on her face.
This is no wonder, because according to the experience summed up by the senior monks, the longer the attack on foundation building, the lower the success rate of foundation building. After two months, even if the foundation building is barely successful, it will leave sequelae and hinder future practice.
.
"Father has not taken the Foundation Establishment Pill. It is normal for the Foundation Establishment to take a longer time. Mom, you should have confidence in him."
After Zhou Yang noticed that his mother, Lin Yuting, looked anxious, he moved his mouth slightly and comforted his mother in a very low voice.
"I..." Lin Yuting opened her mouth. When she saw her son and two clan brothers looking at her, she immediately realized her gaffe. She quickly closed her mouth and silently recited the Qingxin Dharma in her heart to control her anxiety. She gently
Nod to show that you understand.
However, when they didn't see any movement inside after guarding outside for fifty days, Zhou Yang, who had always been very calm, changed his face, let alone Lin Yuting.
"Don't worry, the lack of movement is the best news. With Brother Xuanhao's cultivation, even if the foundation building fails, there should still be movement. If you mother and son feel uncomfortable, why not go out and be quiet for a while to avoid making any noise?
It disturbed Brother Xuanhao."
"Second uncle is right, no movement is the best news!"
The message from his second uncle Zhou Xuantai shocked Zhou Yang. He instantly recovered from his anxious state and nodded in agreement.
Then he stood up and walked to his mother Lin Yuting, who was looking anxious. He grabbed her mother's hand and comforted her: "Mom, we have to believe in father, he will definitely succeed!"
"Son, mother is so scared, so scared that she will never see your father again!"
Lin Yuting tightly grasped her son's palm with her beautiful hand, her pretty face had turned pale, and her eyes were full of fear.
In fact, she had always opposed Zhou Xuanhao's risk of attacking the foundation, and had tried to persuade her husband to give up this dangerous idea, but the result was obvious, she did not persuade her husband who wanted to give it a try.
For this reason, she has always been very pessimistic in her heart. As Zhou Xuanhao's time in seclusion became longer and longer, this pessimism became more and more intense, almost to the point of despair.
"No, I believe that father will succeed. Mom, you must also believe in father, he will not let us down!"
Until now, Zhou Yang could only use this to comfort his mother.
Although he knew in his heart that there had been no movement for so long, it was obvious that Zhou Xuanhao's attack on the foundation this time had nothing to do with the words "smooth sailing".
But for Lin Yuting, who was close to despair, his words of comfort were like a life-saving straw. Even though she knew it was of little use, she still held it firmly in her hands as hope.
"Yes, my husband will not let us down. He has never let my mother down, and he will definitely not let us down this time!"
She murmured to herself, and her expression slowly returned to calm.
Time passed slowly, and soon it had been more than two months since Zhou Xuanhao entered the retreat room.
At this point in time, the faces of Zhou Xuantai and Zhou Xuanbin also became heavy.
Over the years, no one in the Zhou family has succeeded in attacking the foundation building level for more than two months. Can Zhou Xuanhao break this record?
Finally, sixty-seven days after Zhou Xuanhao entered the retreat room, a strong wave of spiritual energy finally erupted in the silent retreat room.
"It's spiritual energy filling the body! Brother, is he going to succeed?"
Zhou Xuantai had the highest level of cultivation and was the first to sense the changes in spiritual energy. His face changed wildly as he stood up from the ground and looked towards the retreat room with shock on his face.
"It is indeed the spiritual energy filling! This is the last level in the foundation building level. As long as you can survive the spiritual energy filling and subdue the violent spiritual energy pouring into the body and refine it into the foundation building true essence, the foundation building is considered successful!"
Zhou Xuanbin also stood up from the ground, looking towards the retreat room with a solemn expression, a look of deep envy flashing in his eyes.
That’s the foundation building period!
It is a state that they have no hope of reaching in this life.
Once Zhou Xuanhao succeeds in establishing the foundation, it will not only mean that the Zhou family will have one more foundation-building monk, but it also means that Zhou Xuanhao, the oldest monk of the "Xuan" generation, will be the most active monk of their generation in the future.
The one who has it the longest.
Thinking about Zhou Yang who also had a high chance of succeeding in foundation building in the future, Zhou Xuanbin felt a little jealous.
What an enviable family!
From the corner of his eye, he looked at Zhou Yang and Lin Yuting, mother and son, who were hugging each other tightly and cheering. Only he knew what he felt in his heart.
"Mom, it's successful. Father, he's successful in building the foundation!"
Zhou Yang hugged his mother's shoulders tightly, the worry in his eyes disappeared, and his face was filled with ecstasy.
"Son, son, please pinch my mother. Isn't this a dream? I'm so afraid that this is a dream!"
Lin Yuting also hugged her son's shoulders with force, her face looked like she was crying and smiling, with a dazed look on her face.
All I can say is that the surprise came too suddenly.
Who would have thought that more than two months have passed, and Zhou Xuanhao can still successfully build the foundation without taking the "Foundation Building Pill"!
This kind of thing, let alone the Zhou family, even if it is magnified to the entire world of immortality in the far west, it is probably a rare anecdote in decades.
Boom!
On the third day after the "spiritual energy filling" appeared, the door of the retreat room, which had been closed for seventy days, was finally opened from the inside.
Then, under the wide-eyed stares of Zhou Yang and others outside the door, Zhou Xuanhao, wearing a blue robe, walked out with a smile on his face.
The original Zhou Xuanhao was nearly a hundred years old. Not only did his face begin to relax and wrinkles appeared, but his hair was mostly gray, making him look like an ordinary centenarian.
But now that he has successfully established the foundation, because his lifespan has been greatly increased, both his hair and face have returned to the state of a middle-aged man of about forty years old.
Seeing him walking out with such a middle-aged appearance, both Zhou Yang, the son, and Lin Yuting, the wife, were slightly startled.
"father!"
"Husband!"
Looking at the man walking towards them with a smile on his face, Zhou Yang and Lin Yuting, who were stunned, finally came to their senses and hurriedly stepped forward to hug him heavily.
"Fifth brother, eighth sister, let's go out first. The old patriarch and the family are still waiting for news from us!"
Zhou Xuantai looked at the Zhou Yang family hugging each other tightly, smiled slightly, and winked at Zhou Xuanbin and Zhou Xuanyan who were beside him, and the three of them quietly exited the stone room.
Zhou Xuanhao's success in building the foundation was a great joy for the entire Zhou family to celebrate together.
After receiving the news, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan rushed over from the Yuquan Peak Sword Flying Company as soon as possible. He had to see it in person before he could rest assured.
"Xuantai and the others sent a message saying that it took you more than two months to successfully build the foundation. To be honest, when I first saw the news, my first reaction was that they might have made a mistake, so I even went out of my way to talk to you.
That girl Yu'er had to confirm it before she could believe it was true!"
In the "Haoyang Cave", when the old patriarch Zhou Minghan came over and saw Zhou Xuanhao coming up to him, he talked about this interesting incident with a smile on his face.
Zhou Xuanhao's aura as a foundation-building monk couldn't be faked. As soon as he saw him, the last worry in his heart completely disappeared, so he decided to tease this junior.
Faced with the elder's joke, Zhou Xuanhao didn't care. He just laughed and said: "Haha, don't say that you think it's incredible, old patriarch. Xuanhao himself feels lucky now. If I have to choose again, I will definitely not
Don’t you dare take such a risk again!”
When Zhou Minghan heard his answer, he seemed to feel something for a moment, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Luck is also a kind of strength. We immortal cultivators will always encounter various opportunities throughout our lives. Some people seize the opportunity and ride on the wind.
Well, some people missed the opportunity and were buried!"
When Zhou Yang, who was listening, heard this, his expression changed, as if he had some realization.
He thought of the "Foundation Building Conference" that the old patriarch once told him. After the "Foundation Building Conference", the Zhou family would definitely spend their savings to buy a "Foundation Building Pill".
If he couldn't break through to the ninth level of Qi training before then, wouldn't he miss the opportunity?
Thinking of this, his heart tightened, and he suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of urgency.
He is now only one step away from the ninth level of Qi training, and it stands to reason that he still has a lot of time to break through calmly.
But who knows if there will be any accidents?
What if, what if the "Foundation Building Conference" time is suddenly advanced?
"I heard that many seniors in the world of immortality chose to travel and practice to sharpen their mind and broaden their knowledge after facing bottlenecks. It seems that a trip to the city is inevitable. Maybe this is the opportunity for my breakthrough!"
He seemed to feel something in his heart, and the look on his face gradually relaxed.
