The sky is already slightly bright outside, the cool summer morning breeze is gentle, the birds are chirping, and the air is filled with the fragrance of vegetation.
He walked to the courtyard and circulated Zhou Tiangang Jin. The next moment, it was like an invisible flame ignited on his body, the air around him was distorted, and his figure became extremely blurry.
He lightly stamped his foot.
As if high explosives had been injected into it, the ground shook violently. The ground rolled violently within a radius of more than ten meters. Several large trees were broken from their roots and collapsed with a roar.
"The power has not increased much?" Chen Li thought to himself.
But it’s normal…
Cultivation is a gradual process, and the first and second levels of foundation building are only quantitative changes, not qualitative changes.
"I am currently on the second level of foundation building, which is equivalent to having second-level and third-level magic protection. Zhou Tiangang Jin's attack is a little weaker than the defense, but it is estimated to be more powerful than the average second-level low-grade magic weapon!" Chen Li
Thoughtful in my heart.
This is the advantage of esotericism.
It will improve as your cultivation level improves.
Unlike spells, the power is almost fixed. As his cultivation level gets higher and higher, many low-level spells have become useless and cannot keep up with him.
"Oh, I really want to try it with an opponent who is in the middle stage of foundation building!" He was eager to try.
However, as soon as the thought flashed across his mind, it was suppressed by his reason and disappeared.
Can't waste.
Only by being low-key can you live longer in this world.
"Husband!" Zhang Shuniang walked out.
"Did I wake you up just now?"
"No, I'm already ready. I'll cook for you."
"Um!"
His breakthrough was so silent that no one noticed it, and Chen Li was not prepared to make it public. Zhou Hong is still at the seventh level of Qi training. Zhang Shuniang also stopped after breaking through to the sixth level of Qi training. I don't know how long she will have to wait.
Only then can we enter the later stage of Qi training.
Ordinary people's talents are generally like this, and they may not even have the slightest chance of building a foundation throughout their lives.
He let out a long sigh.
We continue to test the changes on the second floor of the foundation.
…
In the next few days, Chen Li stayed behind closed doors every day, meditating and practicing Qi, trying to stabilize his state.
Seven days later.
Chen Li checks the game panel.
"Realm: Foundation 2nd Floor: 2/100"
"Is it a seven-day progress? Compared to the six-day progress on the first floor of foundation building, it is slower... It will take about two years to reach the third floor of foundation building." Chen Li calculated in his mind:
"According to this progress trend, it is estimated that the foundation construction should be completed within fifty years."
Fifty years later.
He is only a hundred years old.
Compared to a life span of nearly three hundred years, only one-third has passed.
It is equivalent to a mortal around thirty years old.
He is still in his youth, in the prime of his life, and in his thirties.
"At that time, you no longer need to be so cautious. The world is so big that you can come and go as much as you like."
The Wild West is no more than a frontier land.
The Real Realm is even more of a border among borders.
"I don't know what kind of world the hinterland of mankind is. It should be extremely prosperous!" Chen Li thought in confusion and stood up.
Suddenly my heart moved, and I was ready to try the effect of practicing the Immortal Muscle and Jade Bone Kung Fu during this period.
He first performed a hemostatic treatment on himself.
Immediately, he took a fierce step forward and punched the stone wall. His figure was like a phantom, and there was a faint sonic boom.
He didn't dare to use too much force, he only used five points of force.
There was a loud noise of "Boom!"
Debris splattered everywhere.
A large hole of thirty to forty centimeters was punched into the wall.
At the same time, his arm was broken, and his right hand was bleeding and blurry.
"Hiss, the bone strength is still far from enough!"
With his intact left hand, he carefully groped for the broken arm and set the bones for himself. He broke into a cold sweat from the pain. Then he took out a rag from his storage bag, tied the broken arm in place, and waited for recovery:
"Oh, you really brought it upon yourself!"
It took half an hour for the broken bone to completely heal.
At this time, he felt the formation control token in his arms beat slightly.
Then I knew someone was coming to visit.
Chen Li used a cleaning technique to remove the blood stains on his body, straightened his appearance, then stood up and walked out of the quiet room.
It was Guo Xingquan who came, and Chen Li opened the formation and welcomed the people into the cave.
Guo Xingquan smiled and was obviously in a good mood: "Fellow Taoist, why don't you plant some spiritual grasses and flowers in this cave? Although the harvest is not much every year, it is still an income."
Chen Li saw the happy look on his face, clearly he had advanced to the second level of foundation building: "I'm just too lazy to take care of it."
The courtyard of the cave was his usual training place. How could he waste it growing spiritual grasses and flowers? He could not afford the income from more than ten or twenty mid-grade spiritual stones every year.
"Have not yet congratulated you for successfully advancing to the second level of foundation building." Chen Li said with a smile.
"Hahaha, I can't hide it from fellow Taoists. I just broke through the second level of foundation building the day before yesterday! Alas, I have seen how difficult it is to practice foundation building. It took nearly ten years to reach the second level." Guo Xingquan said with a smile on his face:
"Fortunately, real skills require accumulation and accumulation. I heard that the first level is the most difficult. I think it will be much smoother in the future!"
"Fellow Taoist, all the hard work has finally come to an end!" Chen Li echoed with a smile.
"Hahaha, fellow Taoist has been building the foundation for three years, I guess it will be soon..." Guo Xingquan was halfway through his words when he suddenly stared closely at Chen Li, feeling that his spiritual power was faintly leaking out, which was a sign that he had just broken through.
I couldn’t help but look shocked:
"Hiss, you actually... also advanced."
"Uh, yes!" Seeing Guo Xingquan's surprised expression, Chen Li felt slightly embarrassed: "I didn't mean to hide it from fellow Taoist."
Guo Xingquan's smile suddenly became unbearable. Although he knew that the other party did not want to hurt him, he still had mixed feelings in his heart: "I understand, I understand, fellow Taoist is really amazingly talented."
Chen Li quickly said a few more words of modesty.
…
Send away the somewhat depressed Guo Xingquan.
"Why did you leave so quickly? You haven't even finished the tea." Zhou Hong came over to clear the table and asked strangely.
"I guess he's busy with something!" Chen Li said with a smile.
Zhou Hong handed over a wedding invitation and said enviously: "Well, Gu Mengqing sent it this morning. After sending the wedding invitation, he left and couldn't keep it no matter what. His wife just gave birth to a fat son and came over to invite us to drink.
A child’s full moon drink.”
Chen Li took the invitation, opened it, took a look, and said with some surprise: "I didn't hear him say anything about it when I came here during the New Year last year."
Gu Mengqing was much older than him, and he was already an old man. Unexpectedly, when he was getting old, the old tree blossomed and he gave birth to a son.
"I just got pregnant during the Chinese New Year, and my belly hasn't even shown that I'm pregnant yet. It's unlucky to say it." Zhou Hong said with a smile, "Are you going then?"
"We'll definitely go there!" Chen Li said, "Let's all go there when the time comes. It's so lively!"
…
In the afternoon of that day, Chen Li went to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
There are also only three spells on the second level of foundation building, namely: summoning wind and rain, resurrection of the dead, and escape from the earth.
Chen Li only chose one earth-escape technique and prepared to study it slowly.
After the technique reaches the second level, its cost-effectiveness becomes increasingly lower.
The spells and seals are becoming more and more complex and take too long to activate, making them difficult to use in battle.
Chen Li's enthusiasm for learning new techniques has been greatly reduced, but the escape technique is a pretty good escape technique.
When you go out and encounter danger, you can avoid most of the danger by digging into the ground.
…
One month later.
Luanluo City.
"Brother, sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law is here, hurry up, please come inside!" Gu Mengqing and his wife went out to greet them with red faces and happy faces. When they saw Chen Li and his family coming, they immediately felt bright in their faces.
Generally, casual cultivators cannot hire anyone to build a foundation, let alone a large family.
"Today is your child's full moon, a happy day, so there is no need to talk about these customs." Chen Li said a few words of blessing to the child according to the custom here, and then presented him with a jade pendant-like magical instrument:
"This jade pendant has the effects of warding off evil spirits, calming the mind, and protecting the body. Remember to wear it with your child."
Gu Mengqing accepted it with a grateful expression. This was absolutely a top-grade magic weapon.
It's really a big deal.
Then several of Gu Mengqing's friends who came over to attend the full-moon banquet also hurriedly came forward to pay homage to him.
Zhang Shuniang had a smile on her lips and kept her eyes on Chen Li. She and Chen Li were harmonious. In less than a year, she had lost her virginity and looked like a new woman. She became more and more moist and gorgeous.
.
"This little guy is still smiling at me. He doesn't recognize life at all. Can he let me hug him?" Zhou Hong teased the child and asked Gu Mengqing's wife.
"Look what my sister-in-law said, this child is very noisy at night, so he is calmer during the day." Gu Mengqing's wife hurriedly smiled and handed the child to Zhou Hong.
Zhou Hong took it carefully and held it in her arms, with a motherly smile on her face: "This child looks so much like you. Look at his features and eyes, he looks exactly like him."
"It's not bad for an old man like me." Gu Mengqing's wife looked after the child closely and said with a smile.
Gu Mengqing doesn't have many friends either.
Only two tables were set up.
Chen and Li occupied a seat to themselves, and were personally attended by Gu Mengqing and his wife.
The rest were at another table.
Perhaps because Chen Li, a foundation builder, was present, the atmosphere was a bit restrained and not lively.
…
In the evening, after coming back.
"What's going on? It's like you've lost your soul." Chen Li couldn't help but laugh as he saw Zhou Hong sitting on the bed, unconscious.
"Let's have a child!" Zhou Hong suddenly said softly: "I am no longer young. In a few years, crow's feet will appear, but you are still young. I don't want to be alone when I grow old."
Chen Li was startled for a moment, his heart suddenly extremely complicated. He sat by the bed and held her hand:
"What are you thinking about? How can you be old? Even if you get old and lose all your teeth in the future, I will always be with you... If you want to have a baby, then go ahead. When the time comes, we will have seven or eight babies."
It’s not that I can’t afford it.”
"I hate it! How can monks be so fertile? I heard that it is much more difficult for monks to get pregnant than for ordinary people." Zhou Hong burst into tears and laughed, and slapped Chen for a moment.
"As the saying goes, no matter how hard you work, you will reap something. As long as you cultivate a lot, you will definitely gain something." Chen Li said with a smile.
Zhou Hong glanced at Chen Li charmingly, stood up and walked towards the door.
"Where are we going?"
"I'll call Shu Niang over!" Zhou Hong said.
What is this for?
Chen Li was confused.
Soon, Zhou Hong pulled the blushing Zhang Shuniang over: "I'm giving you an advantage today."
Under the dim oil lamp, the light and shadow are swaying. One of them is bright and the other is shy. They are really more delicate than flowers.
