From time to time, people took the initiative to join the conversation. Now Chen Li is no longer the unknown person he was back then. Many people come here to get to know him.
It has to be said that even now, Chen Li has not recognized all the foundations of the Huanzhen Sect. At each gathering, many foundations are either in retreat, traveling, or stationed in various cities for a long time.
"Alas, many familiar faces have disappeared!" Xiao Yuan sighed with a desolate look on his face: "Now the scene is much deserted."
The atmosphere was somewhat silent.
Chen Li couldn't help but think of Guo Xingquan, with whom he had the best relationship at the time:
"Fellow Daoist Guo Xingquan, do you have any family members?"
"Probably not. I remember that Fellow Daoist Guo was born as a casual cultivator and has always been alone. It's not clear whether he has any relatives." A middle-aged and elder Xu Zhuji thought for a while and said: "A young man like him
Foundation-building monks still have prospects for the road, so how can they think about building a family?"
"Alas, many people can't even find anyone to receive their pension, so we have to leave heirs early, otherwise our death will be in vain, and we will be buried on any mountain without anyone paying homage." Another monk sighed.
road.
"If you give birth to an unworthy descendant, you will have even more headaches. Sometimes I would like to strangle them to death with one hand, and pretend that I never gave birth."
"The descendants are gone and sent far away. Women are troublesome. When they are young, they are jealous. When they are old, they are not only jealous but also nagging. They have no self-knowledge at all. They look disgusting and get angry when they see them!"
Chen Li listened to a group of middle-aged and elderly people building foundations talking about their parents' filial piety, but he listened with great interest.
After the ceremony, there was a lunch banquet, and then there was a small exchange meeting as usual.
The price of second-level magic weapons has remained at a low level for the past two years. Now it has begun to slowly rise, but compared with before, it is still pitifully low.
The number of foundations added each year in the surrounding areas is limited. If he wants to return to the previous price, Chen Li estimates that he will have to wait for five or ten years.
He wandered from stall to stall, looking for something of interest.
His eyes suddenly fell on the wooden sign of one of the stalls, which read: '70% new second-grade low-grade spirit wood shuttle, price negotiable'.
His eyes lit up.
Such low-level small flying instruments are rare.
Different from ordinary magical weapons such as flying swords, this kind of thing is not so much a magical weapon as an array weapon. The large flying boats of the Huanzhen Sect are like this, but the latter are much larger and more expensive. Only
Only a behemoth like the Jindan Sect can afford to purchase it.
This kind of magic weapon does not need to consume its own spiritual power when flying, but uses spiritual stones as fuel and has its own defensive array. As long as the spiritual stones are not exhausted, it can continue to fly.
Of course, the price is not ordinary, it is higher than ordinary magic arrays of the same quality.
Thinking of the current situation inside the door, Chen Li felt that he needed to prepare one to be prepared.
If he was traveling alone, he would naturally not need this kind of flying magic weapon, but after all, he was not alone. He had a wife, concubines, and a family. If something went wrong, it would be difficult to escape.
"...it can accommodate five to eight people. When the defense is turned on, it can withstand the mid-stage Foundation Establishment Royal Envoy's medium-grade magic weapon for one stick of incense.
...The defense is indeed relatively average, but on the other hand, it saves spiritual stones, and the speed is not slow. Even if it is fully loaded, it is faster than the first-time Foundation Establishment monk. If I hadn't been in urgent need of money..."
One finds fault, and the other talks about the advantages.
Chen Li bargained for a while and finally won with 23 high-grade spiritual stones.
It can be said that it was thanks to the low prices after the war. Otherwise, I might not be able to buy thirty high-grade spiritual stones.
Chen Li put the Lingmu Shuttle into the storage bag.
‘There are only twelve high-grade spiritual stones left!’ He sighed inwardly.
Fortunately, I have bought everything I should buy now.
The third-order low-grade evil-killing sword, the second-order mid-grade Shuiyue Robe, the second-order mid-grade Silver Frost Sword, the second-order low-grade Divine Mirror, and the second-order low-grade Buyun Boots are all effective against a person who is not even in the middle stage of foundation building.
For a monk, it is already considered a luxury.
There are basically no big expenses in a short period of time.
So far, daily expenses such as medicinal baths and elixirs, as his cultivation level has improved, the number of golden amulets he draws every day has also increased. Now he can basically break even, with twelve high-grade spiritual stones, save some money.
, it can take a year or two.
Even worse, there is blood wealth worth hundreds of high-grade spiritual stones in the storage bag.
As long as you are willing to sell it off at a discount, you can fill up your dry storage bag in no time.
He checked the game panel:
"Realm: Foundation Building Level 3: 57/100"
"It won't take a year to enter the middle stage of foundation building." He exhaled a breath, and his originally depressed mood became slightly lighter.
Three to four floors, six to seven floors.
This is a small qualitative change.
With his strength at that time, as long as the golden elixir did not take action, he would be able to compete with one or two in the later stages of foundation building.
…
Spring passes and summer comes, and then autumn comes again.
Time continued to pass through Chen Li's painstaking practice.
The night was as dark as water and extremely quiet.
In the courtyard in front of the cave.
The two "Chen Li" stand opposite each other, making it difficult to distinguish between true and false.
The two of them each used a golden amulet. Although the phantom body was also controlled by Chen Li himself, he did not dare to be careless at all. If he accidentally got hit, it would really kill him. After reaching the master level, the phantom body transformed into a golden amulet.
It becomes more powerful, even terrifying.
The Illusion Body Technique is originally a second- and third-level magic technique.
It is the most advanced technique that Chen has ever studied.
When you reach the master level, you can compare to the second-level and sixth-level magic. When you reach the full level, you can even reach the second-level and seventh level. How terrifying!
Even if it has not reached the top level, the simulated spiritual power in the phantom body can already be compared to the fifth level of foundation building, and is more than the real body.
This means that all the techniques Chen Li has learned can be released through the phantom body.
Plus, that ghostly speed.
As long as he didn't deliberately let go, or use a scolding spell that would have a fatal effect on the phantom body, Chen Li would have no chance of beating 'him'.
Under the night, a cold autumn wind blew by, and a dead leaf swirled into the air.
The two of them moved instantly.
A large number of low-level spells, like a sudden storm.
"Spiritual power snaps!"
"Flash Technique!"
"Thunder in the Palm!"
…
The fluctuations of the old spells have not yet dissipated, and new spells are coming, the air flow is surging, and smoke and dust are everywhere.
The whole yard crackled and kept making noises.
Fortunately, this area is soundproofed by formations, and it also blocks the line of sight. Otherwise, it won't be long before people are watching.
Chen Li was distracted by two things, fighting against himself, and was very busy.
Only by experiencing it personally can you feel the nausea of the super flash technique. The instantaneous continuous flash technique is almost completely connected, and the night seems to turn into day. The sight is completely white, making it impossible to see anything.
One can barely distinguish objects by building up spiritual sense, but spiritual sense has limitations after all. It is more like a strong intuition. It can only make rough judgments, and it cannot be as intuitive and clear as the eyes.
Fortunately, the intensity of the battle is controlled by oneself, and the thrift is left to others.
"Traction!"
"Ice spell!"
…
As the spells are upgraded, even if the full-level Golden Light Body Protection Technique, which is comparable to the second and fourth levels, is strong enough, even in the face of such violent and continuous attacks, it is broken again and again, and the spells gradually cast are getting higher and higher.
, the battle between the two also moved from the ground to the air.
The two of them came and went like lightning, constantly moving around in mid-air, and fierce magical auras erupted from time to time.
The battle finally ended when Chen Li's spiritual power was about to be exhausted.
After Chen Li landed, he dispelled the phantom body.
‘It’s just that the weakness is too obvious.’ Chen Li took a deep breath and thought to himself.
The phantom body is, after all, a thought body.
There is basically no resistance to psychic attacks.
A scolding spell, even if it is partially offset by the golden light amulet, can still make the phantom body lose consciousness for a long time.
Of course, this refers to the full level scolding technique that is comparable to the first level and seventh level.
Ordinary scolding techniques are naturally not included in this list.
"Fortunately, psychic attacks are rarely encountered. As long as you don't get too close during the battle and cast spells from a distance, it should be fine." Chen Li thought to himself.
