The grand auction held once every ten years in Sanshanfang City has finally come to an end.
Many things at this auction will inevitably become a topic of conversation for many monks after dinner.
For example, the overt and covert struggle between the Black Blood Sect and the Green Cauldron Sect's foundation building, such as those cherished top-level magic weapons, the stunning furnace cauldron...
Among them is a wealthy monk with a black face. As a Qi Refining monk, he actually has tens of thousands of spiritual stones!
Not only did he participate in the battle for the Foundation Establishment Pill, he almost succeeded!
Although the success failed due to the intervention of Zongji Foundation, in the subsequent competition for the Pulse Protection Pills, Leng Shi won two Pulse Protection Pills at the price of 4,500 and 5,000 spirit stones!
This makes many monks secretly curse and puzzle. After all, the Pulse Protecting Pill does not have the magic effect of the Foundation Building Pill to increase the chance of foundation building by 30 to 40%. They can only fight for the 10% chance of building the foundation by themselves. And with the other party's financial resources, in the next auction
, the possibility of getting a foundation-building pill is still very high.
However, some mature and prudent monks knew that this was a rational move.
After all, your wealth has been revealed, do you still want to wait for the next ten years?
Moreover, the Foundation Establishment Pill is too precious, so what if the next auction fails? The one you can get is the best!
…
Regardless of the distractions from the outside world.
After the auction, Aaron went directly to the rented Lingmai Cave and began to retreat and prepare to build the foundation.
Theoretically speaking, the retreat place is full of spiritual energy, which will naturally have a bonus for foundation building.
Inside the cave.
Aaron sat cross-legged, with two white jade bottles in front of him. Inside the bottles was a pill as red as blood.
"Try it once first. If you fail this time, go hide in a mortal city and practice your skills again!"
Aaron poured out a carefully inspected 'Pulse Protection Pill', stuffed it into his mouth, and then began to silently perform the 'Mingyu Jue' technique.
He had already practiced this technique to the tenth level of Dzogchen. For the next twenty years, he meditated every day to restore his magic power and become familiar with the technique.
It has already reached the point of no further progress.
At this moment, he gathered his strength, activated his magic power, and began to break through to the eleventh level of skills!
Build the foundation!
A monk who has perfected Qi Refining can trigger a magic breakthrough at any time, and has a 10% success rate in building a foundation by himself before the age of sixty!
Once you fail, your meridians will be severed and you will die!
Aaron's body instantly became hot, and his magic power became violent.
His whole body began to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth crazily, and then wandered through his meridians, and finally returned to his Dantian, constantly compressing and compressing...
The violent magic power even caused his meridians to feel a stinging pain.
At this moment, the 'Pulse Protecting Pill' in his abdomen also turned into cold currents, traveling throughout the meridians.
Aaron no longer cares about this.
Forgetting everything else, I was immersed in the sea of qi and dantian, and the huge mental power continued to compress the mist-like magic power.
The so-called 'foundation building' is actually the process of the monk's mana becoming liquid!
I don’t know how long time has passed.
Boom!
The highly concentrated mana mist suddenly collapsed infinitely and turned into a drop of liquid mana!
This is the true mana of the foundation-building monk!
Then came the second drop, the third drop...
Whoosh!
Aaron's body seemed to turn into a black hole, greedily devouring the spiritual energy around him, forming a small whirlpool.
The liquid mana in his dantian finally filled up at a certain moment, rushed out of his dantian, and traveled through his limbs and bones.
At this point, Mingyu Jue suddenly breaks through the tenth level and enters the eleventh level!
Foundation building successful!
…
"This foundation building is successful? Isn't it too simple? I originally planned to practice it again."
Feeling the breakthrough in cultivation, Aaron couldn't help but feel speechless: "But after all, I have been practicing hard for more than two hundred years... Foundation building is considered normal, right? Should I recite a closing poem?"
He was a little caught off guard by the success of this breakthrough, but he quickly accepted the reality.
'Well... there are many reasons why I was able to successfully build the foundation in one go.'
'First of all, of course, having lived for so many years and having strong mental power is of great benefit to compressing mana into liquid real energy?'
'Secondly...because of the experience of re-cultivating San Gong and staying in the Dzogchen realm for decades, the technique is proficient?'
'And...I haven't taken a pill to increase my mana yet...Maybe it's because I don't use drugs and my mana is extremely pure?'
…
Aaron ranked the possibilities one by one, and finally decided not to think about it: "No matter what, it is a good thing to be able to successfully build the foundation in one go!"
"I've also completed a foundation building overhaul!"
"From then on, I became one of the few masters in the world of immortality between Lin and Wu... a proper middle-level and high-level person, and even started a family of cultivation myself..."
"The biggest benefit of foundation building is undoubtedly the skyrocketing lifespan, which can increase lifespan by hundreds of years. It is completely different from mortals and Qi refining monks..."
As Aaron thought about it, he felt a little depressed: "One hundred years of life? Is it enough for me to be burned by the Black Sun Demon several times?"
"Forget it, ignore it...The next step is undoubtedly the spiritual consciousness that only monks in the foundation building stage have."
Aaron closed his eyes and allowed his consciousness to spread outward.
Everything in the cave seemed to be vivid in his mind.
Thirty feet, forty feet...one hundred feet!
Aaron's consciousness spread outward for a distance of nearly a hundred feet, and then he felt that it was a bit too much and had to stop.
"The spiritual consciousness spreads hundreds of feet? According to the information I have inquired about before, if ordinary monks in the early stage of foundation building have not practiced any techniques to temper their spiritual consciousness, then the range of their spiritual consciousness can reach tens of feet at most. I can catch up with the middle-stage and even late-stage monks.
Alright?"
Aaron thought for a while and suddenly had the answer: "Or have I lived too long, making me equivalent to the kind of monk who is born with powerful spiritual consciousness?"
In addition, there is a qualitative change in the true essence of mana!
Aaron took out the high-grade magic weapon 'Hundred Ghost Banner'. At this time, there was no need to enter many magic formulas. The mana and essence belonging to the foundation-building stage poured into it, and the small banner was activated immediately, without the need for other fancy things.
"Compared with the mana of Qi refining in the foundation building stage, there is indeed a qualitative change between the mana and the power of Qi refining... and the total amount has also increased several times... using this mana to activate spells and magic weapons... it is indeed difficult for Qi refining monks to resist!"
"Speaking of which, Hyakki Banner is not easy to see people around. After becoming a foundation-building monk, it's time for me to change my magic weapon."
A top-grade magical weapon can easily cost hundreds of spiritual stones, and a top-grade magical weapon can cost thousands of spiritual stones!
This time, thousands more spiritual stones were spent, which made Aaron feel his head was spinning: "How come after the breakthrough, there is even less spiritual stone?"
"Forget it, top-level magic weapons are generally used by monks in the later stages of foundation building. I'll just use the top-level magic tools first..."
Aaron glanced at the properties panel:
