Chapter One Hundred and Forty Two: White Horses Over the Gap
The next day, it was already bright when I woke up.
Chen Li was served by Zhou Hong and put on clothes.
Zhou Hong's face was rosy, and her watery eyes exuded an astonishing charm.
Live the Qi and nourish the body.
When we first met her, she was sharp-tongued, had a fiery personality, and was completely like a careless and casual cultivator. Now, after so many years, not only has her body been nourished and matured, but her temperament has also become as gentle as water. Compared with before, she is almost
They are completely different.
He couldn't help but kiss her.
"I hate it!" Zhou Hong was happy in her heart, but she said angrily: "You've ruined the lipstick I just put on again. It wasn't enough yesterday. I'm still sore today. What a bully."
"Hehe, a lifetime is not enough!" Chen Li said with a smile...
It would be great if it really lasted a lifetime, Zhou Hongxin said.
…
Chen Li finished washing and walked into the dining room.
Zhang Shuniang had already made breakfast and had been waiting. When she saw Chen Li coming out, she quickly brought the warm food from the kitchen and ran around, her face flushed, as busy as a nimble bird.
Chen Li stopped her and asked about her recent practice.
It was learned that she had reached the peak of the fourth level of Qi training a few months ago, but there were only signs of breakthrough.
This is also the situation that most people will encounter. It is not that they are not practicing fast enough, but that they are stuck at a bottleneck and have been unable to break through.
Chen Li gave some words of encouragement.
After breakfast, he walked out of the cave.
In the early morning, the mountains were filled with thick fog.
The fresh air was mixed with the smell of rotting wood and dead leaves. He did not use any magic, and his body naturally rose into the air and headed for the top of the mountain.
The purpose of his trip was to find a suitable store to sell on consignment the fifty or so golden amulets he had painted recently.
The foundation-building monks in the mountain gate each have their own means of making money.
The simplest thing is to plant some spiritual flowers and spiritual grass.
Each foundation building cave has a yard of several acres, and it is also a third-level spiritual land with rich spiritual energy. If you buy a few mortal servants with planting experience, you can grow whatever you want, and you will have more than ten or twenty middle-grade spiritual lands every year.
Harvest of Stone.
Plus salary and mission rewards.
I basically earn two or three high-grade spiritual stones every year.
Of course, it is impossible to make such an income as decent as I thought, but it can barely sustain the annual expenses of foundation building. But my life is a little tight, and I want to buy a better set of magic weapons, robes, and formations. Basically,
Forget it.
Of course, if you choose to lie flat.
There is no outlook for the future.
With such an income, life will definitely be easy and happy.
Secondly, there are craftsmen like Chen Li.
The three arts of cultivation are elixir refining, weapon refining, and talisman making. Although the talisman making line ranks at the bottom, it is not as good as those above.
Finally, there is the management of business. Luanluo City, various large and small shops in Dafang City, and some large merchants are all controlled by foundation-building forces.
Especially those big foundation-building families, which have huge families and many talented people, and penetrate into all walks of life. In addition to paying high rents, the rest are still making money every day.
Regardless of whether it was the former Changsheng Sect or the current Huanzhen Sect, they basically did not collect any taxes from Luanluo City and major cities, or they collected them in another special form of tax.
That's the rent.
Whether it is the shanty town at the foot of the mountain or the houses in Luanluo City, they are only for rent and not for sale.
As for shops, as far as Chen Li knows, bidding is required. Bidding takes place every ten years, and you cannot participate unless you build the foundation. Unfortunately, he built the foundation too late. Now, the shops in Luanluo City and various Dafang cities have been auctioned for several years.
It was divided up before.
But, then again.
If the foundation had been established a few years earlier, it is still unclear whether a person would have been able to survive on the broken ship of the Changsheng Sect.
Chen Li flew down from the sky, walked another hundred meters, and arrived at a talisman shop belonging to the Zhen Sect. He quickly negotiated a price with the shopkeeper, charging 22 low-grade spiritual stones per ticket, and
Delivery is agreed upon once a month.
After solving this small matter, Chen Li went to the pill shop again, bought fifty bottles of Qi Gathering Pill and Body Tempering Pill each, and quickly returned.
…
After joining the Huanzhen Sect, Chen Li practiced every day in the mountain gate and lived a leisurely and peaceful life.
Time flies by like a flash, and a year and a half has passed in the blink of an eye.
Late one night.
‘Realm: Foundation Level 1: 37/100’
‘Kung Fu: Longevity Kung Fu (Foundation Building Chapter) Master: 1632/3200’
In the quiet room, Chen Li opened his eyes and checked the game panel: "Huh, we've made a little more progress!"
He counted with his fingers:
"The last time was ten days ago... When the Immortality Skill is fully leveled, it will probably be shortened to about six days."
The speed of cultivation in the foundation building period is much slower than that in the Qi training period.
This is only the first to second levels of foundation building. As the cultivation level increases, it will inevitably become slower and slower, not to mention encountering bottlenecks in the middle. If the foundation building can be completed within fifty years, it will be great.
"Fifty years later, I will be a hundred years old. If Zhou Hong cannot build the foundation by then..."
He quickly stopped his thoughts and stopped thinking about it.
Over the past year, Zhang Shuniang's cultivation has entered the fifth level of Qi training, while Zhou Hong is still lingering on the seventh level of Qi training.
Chen Li sometimes wonders what this cultivation qualification is. It feels like IQ and destiny. The two of them are not short of pills and pills, and their spiritual land is still a third-level spiritual land, but their cultivation speed is still extremely slow.
Although Zhang Shuniang has better qualifications than Zhou Hong.
But compared to those inner disciples, they are still far behind. Zhang Shuniang is already twenty years old this year, and the standard for inner disciples of the Huanzhen Sect is seven periods of Qi training before the age of twenty.
Chen Li also taught Zhou Hong the full-level Immortality Kung Fu (Qi Training Chapter).
Unfortunately, after Zhou Hong practiced, not only did his cultivation not become faster, but he almost lost his energy and almost went crazy.
Obviously this longevity skill was optimized based on him as a template and was completely tailor-made.
"The two-year buffer period is about to pass, and there will be no such leisure time in the future." Chen Li patted his robe and stood up from the futon.
However, he was not very afraid.
In the past two years, he has not been idle.
Zhou Tiangang Jin and evil-breaking skills have all been upgraded to the full level by him.
Especially the full-level Zhou Tiangang Jin, which can be used both offensively and defensively, and its protective power is comparable to second-level and second-level spells. It is completely instantaneous when activated. Although it can only last for about thirty seconds, it is enough to resolve a battle.
.
Moreover, his biggest advantage is that he is comprehensive and has strong survivability in various situations.
Investigation includes the art of distance vision, earth hearing, seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, looking at the air, and clairvoyance.
The attacks include Zhou Tiangang Jin, swordsmanship, magical weapons, and various auxiliary attack spells such as flashing spells and scolding spells.
Escape methods include magnetic slip escape, invisibility, and breath concentration.
Whether it is against monks, evil spirits, or huge monsters, he has corresponding methods to deal with them. As long as he does not encounter anyone who is too powerful, he who is generally in the middle stage of foundation building may not be incapable of fighting.
