It took Li Xuangang four years to finally break through the Qi refining stage and successfully become a foundation-building monk.
When he transformed the golden mist in his Dantian into the first drop of liquid spiritual energy, he knew that he had entered another level of life.
Not only has the spiritual power in his body undergone essential changes, but his lifespan will also be extended from one hundred and fifty years to three hundred years.
Li Changqing was still standing on the flat ground at the top of the mountain, waiting. Li Xuangang quickly walked over and saluted him:
"Xuan Gang paid a visit to the fifth uncle. Fortunately, he fulfilled his mission."
Li Changqing smiled and asked him to stand up, and then looked at the other cave with a hint of worry.
Inside was Li Xuantian, who entered the state of seclusion before Li Xuangang.
He sat down in front of Li Changqing, who handed him a black token.
"This is your new family elder token. In the future, you can issue some tasks in the Shanggong Hall, and you will also be asked for your opinion on some family affairs."
Li Xuangang solemnly took the token of the family elder from his hand. He knew that this was not only a right, but also a responsibility to the family.
Later, Li Changqing took him to the magic circle of the foundation fruit tree and told him about the family's situation in the past few years.
For example, the third uncle Li Qinghuan was seriously injured on Limeng Island and brought back a small flying boat.
His seventeenth uncle, Li Qingshui, broke through the realm one step ahead of him and has now gone to Binhaifang City to take charge of family affairs.
The monsters in the Hengduan Mountains have launched a counterattack in recent years. The Corpse Ghost Sect has suffered heavy losses. The family's Lingshan stronghold there has also been attacked, and many clan members have died.
.
.
.
Li Xuangang's mood sank little by little as he listened to Uncle Wu's fair and flat talk about the major events that had happened over the years.
Although the family has indeed been developing rapidly in recent years, the crisis it faces is not small.
He originally thought that he might be a little more relaxed after entering the foundation building stage and not be as nervous as during the Qi refining stage, but judging from the current situation, he still couldn't relax at all.
Li Changqing opened the magic circle hiding the foundation-building fruit tree, and explained the ins and outs of the foundation-building fruit tree to Li Xuangang's surprised eyes.
After that, he immediately understood the origin of the Foundation Establishment Pill that he and his second brother had.
"Xuan Gang, you are good at spiritual plants. Since your eighth uncle went into seclusion, no one in the family has taken care of this foundation-building fruit tree. Since you have broken through to the foundation-building realm, you might as well go up and check it out."
After hearing this, Li Xuangang walked to the foundation-building fruit tree and released his spiritual consciousness, which was much more powerful than the same level, to observe.
The icy blue tree has spiritual energy flowing around it, and there are two light blue fruits hanging between the branches and leaves. I think they will mature again in more than twenty years.
After a full quarter of an hour passed, Li Xuangang straightened up and said to Li Changqing:
"Fifth uncle, there is no big problem with the fruit tree. You just need to replenish the spiritual energy in time after picking the foundation fruit. Generally speaking, you can bury one to two medium-grade spiritual stones at the root."
Hearing that the problem was not serious, Li Changqing breathed a sigh of relief, because when he picked the foundation fruit last time, he found that the foundation fruit tree was a little wilted. Although it didn't seem to be a big problem, it still made him a little worried.
Now that Li Xuangang found the reason, he was naturally relieved.
After closing the magic circle again, Li Changqing said:
"You go back to the original cave to clean up first, and then choose an empty cave on the top of this mountain to use as your family's training place in the future."
After a short pause, he took out something else from his storage bag and continued:
"In addition, I will give you one of the magic circle tokens here first, and you will be responsible for taking care of this foundation fruit tree in the future."
"This foundation-building fruit tree is very important to the family. Xuangang, you have to be more careful. When speaking to others, just say that you have broken through the foundation-building realm on your own."
After taking the token and saluting, Li Xuangang replied:
"Don't worry, Fifth Uncle, Xuan Gang knows the pros and cons involved."
Afterwards, after a few more pleasantries, Li Xuangang prepared to go down the mountain to his original cave.
But the moment he turned around, he stopped again, turned around and made a request to Li Changqing.
After hearing this, the latter subconsciously raised his head and looked at the third-level spiritual peach tree above his head.
Above, hundreds of round, red-in-white peaches are exuding an alluring aroma.
Li Changqing nodded slightly, and Li Xuangang thanked:
"Thank you, fifth uncle."
...
In fact, there was nothing in his previous cave, and what was useful to him had already been taken into the realm source space by him.
When Li Xuangang moves out of the original cave, the family will send people to recover it so that it can be distributed to other clan members with suitable cultivation levels in the future.
It has been four years since he entered the Jie Yuan space. The first time he returned to the cave was to open the Sancai Spirit Separation Formation and spit out the Jie Yuan Pearl.
In the Jieyuan space, a black figure was loosening the soil beside the spiritual field and carefully tending the red red grass planted inside.
Zhengda felt the aura on Li Xuangang's body, and immediately stopped what he was doing, turned around, bowed his head slightly and saluted Li Xuangang:
"Your Majesty."
Li Xuangang approached him slowly, and with a casual sweep of his spiritual consciousness, he fully understood Jongda's cultivation realm.
Although Zhengda has not been able to successfully break through in the past few years, he is not far from the ninth level of Qi refining, and he believes that he will be able to enter the last state of the Qi refining stage in a few years.
Wandering around in the Jieyuan space, Zongda was as stiff as before, following closely behind him.
Everything in sight was in order, and the three Juyuan Bamboo plants were already very close to the second-level high-grade ones. Due to the characteristics of the three Juyuan Bamboo plants, the several spiritual plants around them also grew very luxuriantly.
When he reached the spiritual peach tree at the entrance of the cave, Li Xuangang stopped. The spiritual peach tree in front of him was already as high as him, and judging from the aura emanating from it, it was about to reach the first-level mid-level.
Smiling and touching its branches and leaves, Li Xuangang turned around and walked into the cave. When he came out, he already had two jade tubes and a jar of Yuluo Bee honey collected by Zhengda. He took these three
Something like this has walked out of the boundary source space.
But Zhengda still stayed in the space, taking care of the Zhudan grass in the spiritual field. After the thirty acres of spiritual fields were taken care of, he also sat down cross-legged in an open space and fell into a state of cultivation.
Of the two jade tubes Li Xuangang took, one recorded the Qi-controlling Flying Technique of the Foundation Establishment Monk, and the other recorded a breath-containing technique called Qi-Zang Jue.
The former was recorded from his family library, while the latter was obtained from the storage bag of the casual cultivator named Yang Jian after he killed him in the mine.
He placed the two jade tubes in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then put the jade tube containing the Qi Jue into his storage bag.
He decided to practice air control and flying first.
Place the jade tube on your forehead and browse its contents with your spiritual consciousness.
After about half an hour, he put down the jade tube with a smile on his lips.
In fact, the magic of air control flying is quite simple, and it is not difficult for monks with foundation-building cultivation to master it.
After just a brief browse, Li Xuangang was sure that he had roughly mastered the key points. He thought that with a period of practice, he should soon be familiar with Feidun's movement.
After opening the cave, Li Xuangang prepared to go to Shanggong Hall to return the prohibition token of the cave.
Along the way, the clan members of the Yu clan who saw him saluted him one after another, and the other elders would also smile and nod in greeting.
After all, he is now the elder of the family, and to a certain extent, he has become one of the protective umbrellas of the entire family. However, the family is not like the sect, and the level of cultivation strength is still inferior to the suppression of seniority.
Even though he has already reached the foundation building level, when he sees his elders, he will still be the first to salute.
After coming out of Shanggong Hall, Li Xuangang hesitated for a moment, and then walked towards the back mountain of Taiqiu Mountain.
That's where Han Yuru's cave is.
From a distance, Li Xuangang saw some low-level spiritual flowers blooming in front of her cave. Judging from the variety, they were the seeds he had given to Han Yuru before.
Approaching the cave, among flowers, a smile appeared on Li Xuangang's face.
He sent a message crane into the cave and then waited quietly outside.
Not long after, Han Yuru pushed open the door of the cave and saw Li Xuangang with a little surprise on her face.
At this time, Li Xuangang was standing in front of her, blocking the dazzling midday sun.
"I got two things that I don't have much use for. I wanted to give them to someone, but there was no suitable candidate. After thinking about it, it is most appropriate to give them to you."
Han Yuru stared blankly and took a large jar of Yuluo Bee's honey and a sweet-smelling spiritual peach from Li Xuangang's hand.
This sounds like an excuse for the other party.
The two looked at each other and were speechless for a long time.
In the end, Han Yuru smiled brightly and said:
"Yu Ru hasn't had time to congratulate Fellow Daoist Li for entering the Avenue of Foundation Establishment."
When saying this, Han Yuru narrowed her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing the two shallow dimples on her pink face.
The beautiful face appeared in front of Li Xuangang. He was ready to say a few words, but he didn't know what to say at this moment.
Finally, after a few hasty words of farewell, without waiting for Han Yuru to reply, he transformed into a black escaping light and stumbled towards the top of the mountain.
Watching Dun Guang leave, Han Yuru stayed where she was, still holding the honey and spiritual peaches sent by Li Xuangang in her arms.
