I don't know how long it took, the first light appeared in the sea of knowledge. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Then the second filament, the third filament, appeared.

Slowly, the sea of consciousness became brighter and brighter, until it was completely bright.

Yu Ting finally opened his eyes, shook his still dazed head, and paused for a while before feeling better. What happened just now, well, I fainted in pain, it seems that I have woken up now, that is, I am still alive!

Without further hesitation, he immediately began to check his condition. The result was surprise and delight.

Obviously, he had completed the foundation building process, and now he was a foundation building monk. The liquid true qi in the sea of qi still occupied almost half of the space, but it was obviously different from what he felt before he fell unconscious. What is the difference, I can't tell for a while, but I feel that the current liquid true qi is extremely thick, and the energy contained in it is extremely terrifying.

However, Tu Yunfeng, which was still spinning in the center, looked extremely thin, like a small feather floating on the surface of a lake. And the light filament in the sea of consciousness is also much stronger, which obviously shows that the spiritual power has also increased. It can be seen that his mana has increased many times, which is not the same as before the foundation was built, and this makes this Tuyunfeng look like a small toy.

There is also a sense of otherworldliness, which is very special. What he learned from his uncles was that this state was unique to monks entering the foundation building period, indicating that his physical condition had changed dramatically, the organs in his body were aging more slowly, and his longevity had increased to at least two hundred years old. If you can advance to the middle and late stages, you can increase the longevity of about one more nail every time you advance.

Another thing that makes people happy is that their appearance can stay in their twenties. Although he still looks so young, after many years of training and the risk of advanced foundation building, his slightly dark face has a trace of vicissitudes and old age. Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of Lan Xiao. Lan Mei is also going to build a foundation, if she can also build a foundation in the future, then won't the two of them always look so young?

He hurriedly entered the core of Zhihai with a thought, to see if there was any change, and the expectation in his heart was of course that the wall disappeared.

One of the changes is that there are many thick filaments of light inside the core, which makes people feel extraordinary when they see it. And what about the second change? I wish the wall could easily pass through. Without further hesitation, he immediately manipulated a thick filament of light to poke out, and sure enough, he quickly encountered the wall, and it was easy to penetrate it. However, what disappointed him was that although the distance he could see was many times larger than what he had seen before, it was still far from the distance he could see from a random thin filament outside the core, and he still couldn't see it clearly, and the obvious wall was still working. Due to the presence of this wall, these thick filaments of light seem to be too thick to overflow the core, and can only wander within it. So in this way, there is still nothing to use inside the core of Zhihai.

Depressed is depressed, but there are indeed changes, and they are changing for the better, which makes him look forward to it again. Is it possible to completely break through this wall when you reach the True Dan Period?

What about the birthmark? He quickly checked it, and found that it had returned to its previous appearance, lifeless, and there were no runes in it.

I don't know if I advanced this time, I didn't get hurt to death, did the three-element self-protection array work, if it worked, I don't know how much it worked, then take a look. When he checked the three-element self-protection array, he was stunned for a moment. The three medium-grade spirit stones that were originally placed in it were all consumed, could it be that the Qiankun Thorn "attack" didn't stop after he passed out?

When did that run out, that is, how many days did he stay unconscious? Only by asking the head of the sect after leaving the customs how long he had been in the cave mansion, except for the previous time and the time he had to stay for a period of consolidating his cultivation, could he know how long he had been in a coma.

It's good not to die in a big disaster, and if you successfully advance, you're still in a very happy mood. He took a deep breath and wanted to move his muscles. Hmmm, why does it smell so bad, a sour smell is all over the body. Looking at it again, the filth on the original body was covered on the skin, and the clothes were also soaked with sweat, and the two were even dirtier together.

However, Yu Ting was not in a bad mood, and he was very happy, this is the effect of washing the essence and removing the marrow, and the debris in the body was excreted. In this way, his body has become stronger many times, and he can try to slash it with Tuyunfeng for a while, which should not cause any damage.

After cleaning his body and changing into a new set of clothes, he began to observe the situation around him. By the way, since he has become a monk in the foundation building period, according to the rules of the Qiyun Sect, Yu Ting no longer needs to wear the Dao robe exclusive to disciples in the Spirit Period, and can wear whatever he wants. Now he has changed into clothes, which his mother Wang Huixiang specially made for him before he left home.

When he changed into this set of clothes, his heart throbbed again, when can he go home to see his parents again, especially when can he open up his mother's blocked meridians? Thinking of this, Yu Ting was stunned for a long time, and finally only sighed, and continued to check other things.

After checking it for four weeks, I was relieved to find that the spiritual power density around the cave had not decreased any longer, and it seemed that it was still a wise move to activate the Spirit Gathering Array. Then he was ready to put away the Spirit Gathering Array and the spirit stones that had not been used up, but to his surprise, the hundreds of thousands of spirit stones he had invested were all consumed.

It seems that he is indeed a big appetite, so many spirit stones have been eaten up by him, this amount has been consumed by the entire sect for several months, Yu Ting scratched his head very embarrassedly, fortunately he did not invest all the spirit stones, at least some were left for the sect.

No, if all the spirit stones put in were exhausted, then why didn't the surrounding spirit energy be further reduced? unless the spirit stones put in were exactly what they needed, or they were just lacking a lot. It's a possibility, but it's a small chance anyway. Could it be that there is still some spiritual energy hidden in this cave? Yes, that spiritual spring is possible.

Thinking of this, he immediately used his divine sense to check the spiritual spring in the room next to him, and there was nothing wrong with it, besides, the spiritual energy in this spiritual spring should not be enough for his consumption when he advanced.

This is interesting, it seems that the number of spirit stones is just enough, is it really such a coincidence?

But just as he put away the array flag of the Spirit Gathering Array, he noticed that the array flag where the spirit stones were stored was a little strange. This array flag was placed in the depths of the cave mansion, and the original intention was to avoid affecting the aura around the cave mansion, but Yu Ting felt that behind this array flag, that is, in the deeper part of the cave mansion, there was actually a strong aura of spiritual power connecting this array flag.

What's going on? Could it be that some spirit stones can't be put into the outside of the formation flag, then it shouldn't be, their own techniques won't be so bad. After the Spirit Gathering Array is activated, it will absorb the spiritual power in the middle of the array flag that stores the spirit stones, of course, this will also have a range, and the spirit stones around the array flag and deeper places can also be absorbed. Could it be that there are still some spirit stones hidden in the depths of this banner, or treasures with spiritual power?

Thinking of this, Yu Ting became interested, so let's go to the depths and take a look. After exploring, he found that although his divine sense was much stronger after advancing to build a foundation, and he could already reach a radius of dozens of miles outside, when he tried to go deep into the underground of the mountain peaks in the cave, he couldn't penetrate far, at most more than ten zhang. In addition to the fact that the earth and stone itself are blocked, the spiritual veins under this Qiyun Peak are also extremely powerful existences for him, which will prevent his divine consciousness from working. Then you can only use the earth escape technique to go deep and take a look.

Let's wait for now, it's important to consolidate your cultivation. Yu Ting thought about it for a while, and first put down the idea of going deep into the mountain.

Two months later, Yu Ting already felt that his cultivation in the early stage of foundation building was very good, so he was relieved and thought about exploring the situation in the mountains below the cave.

There was still a little remnant of the aura of those spiritual powers, making it easy for Yu Ting to follow the route of this spiritual power and go deep into the mountains. He has an earth attribute spirit root, and using the earth escape technique is naturally a bonus. In the past, when tracking the Huang Tanuki Beast, it was easy to escape into the ground, but now that the cultivation has increased many times, this earth escape technique should be easier to use. But what made him depressed was that his current speed of earth escape was very slow, and the deeper he went, the slower it became, and the shorter the distance that his divine sense could reach. This is obviously caused by the obstruction of the spiritual veins below.

After going deep into the bottom of the mountain for several miles, the pressure caused by the spiritual veins was so great that it was difficult to exhale, and his speed was as slow as a snail, and the distance he could reach was only within a kilometer. His physique is extremely strong, and his spiritual strength is far beyond that of the same level, but it is so difficult, obviously other monks in the foundation building period don't want to go much deeper at all.

However, the aura of spiritual power was still there, and it had become very strong, as if there was a major shareholder in front of him exuding terrifying spiritual power. Could it be that there is a big monster in front of it, could it be that the spiritual veins under Qiyun Mountain are a big monster? Thinking of this, Yu Ting sweated a lot on his back.

It has become very difficult to go any further, so why don't you go back here and explore it again when you are stronger. Even if it was a big monster in the mountain, it was probably sleeping, otherwise the Qiyun Sect would not have been safe and sound for so many years.

Just as I was about to turn around and give up this exploration, a thought suddenly came to mind. Why don't you try those thick filaments of light inside the core of the sea of knowledge? They can't go far outside, and they can't see things clearly, but maybe they have a special effect here?

Thinking of this, he immediately went to the inside of the core of Zhihai with a thought, and called a very thick light filament to look out. Sure enough, what made him happy was that this time he was able to probe dozens of feet away, although he still couldn't see clearly.

Hey, there's really something down there, it's confused, it feels very tempting, and there are very powerful spiritual power fluctuations.

It doesn't look like a monster, so what could it be? Could it be some kind of exotic treasure, wouldn't it be a little too lucky?

Curiosity exploded all at once, driving him to slowly and further down like a snail in his mana. After a few hours, it is estimated that he has squeezed down for another twenty or thirty zhang, and he can no longer move, at this time he is already tired and sweaty, and the strange thing below is getting clearer and clearer, but he still can't see what it is, but the dense spiritual power that makes people feel refreshed almost pounced.

Yu Ting no longer hesitated, and searched for a long time in the core of Zhihai, grabbed a thick filament of light, shook his spirit, took a deep breath, and probed down.

This time, I was able to probe farther, and finally saw more clearly. What is that?

It's not very clear, but with a little more effort, it will gradually become clearer. Be.. It's a sparkling chunk of spar lying underneath!

This is...

Yu Ting gasped, although he couldn't see clearly, but he knew these spars, they were a large piece of medium-grade spirit stones! Of course, there were also more ordinary low-grade spirit stones. The Spirit Gathering Array he used actually absorbed some of the spiritual power of the spirit stone mine below. It seems to be incredible, but this is indeed happening, maybe there is a loophole in this spirit stone mine, or there is a window in the direction of his cave, so that he takes advantage of himself, or the suction power when he advances is too great, and he can actually go deep underground. That's all he can think.

Judging from the entire range, he should have only seen a small part of this spirit stone mine. If you continue to go deeper, more spirit stones will be discovered. Judging from this situation, he roughly calculated that there should be tens of thousands of middle-grade spirit stones in this spirit stone mine, plus millions of low-grade spirit stones.

Yu Ting trembled in shock, tens of thousands of medium-grade spirit stones!? Isn't this too terrifying, what a great fortune this is!

But he quickly calmed down. First of all, it can be determined that this spiritual stone mine should be accompanied by the spiritual veins in Qiyun Mountain. In addition, now that he can no longer move forward, the Zhongpin Spirit Stone Mine is still far away from him, and it is estimated that there are dozens of zhang, and it is a fool's dream to get there, and he feels that even if his cultivation rises sharply, it will be very difficult to succeed.

Of course, he quickly thought of several ways to get close to this spirit stone mine. One is to dig a hole in this place first, which is where the ore was originally mined, build a base, and then make the next step, and another idea is to use some treasure to help. With his own flying sword, he would love to try it. But after thinking about it for a while, he gave up, not to mention that it was still underground, not to mention how powerful his flying sword could be, in case this flying sword went too deep and was restrained by the power of the spiritual vein, then he wanted to cry without tears.

There is also the fact that this spiritual stone mine is still the property of the sect after all, so after thinking about it, he decided to go back first, and tell the head of the sect about it after he got out of the customs, and see how they make a decision. Even he thought that maybe the sect had known about the existence of this mine for a long time, but it couldn't be mined.

Of course, he could also hide this matter, and find a way to slowly get close to this mineral deposit in the future, and then find a way to mine it, so that he would not completely swallow this huge wealth by himself? But this thought only flashed in his mind, and did not appear again.

In fact, there is another way to use this mineral deposit, even if it is not mined. That's right, it's to use the Spirit Gathering Array to aim at this window of this spiritual stone mine to absorb spiritual energy. This is a good way, but there is obviously a problem, that is, when he advanced to build the foundation, it was because of the spiritual power infusion that caused such a huge suction, how could there be such a large amount of energy to suck up such a deep spiritual energy in the ground when he was usually cultivating, it is estimated that there is no way to reach the true pill stage, only to see if he can use other formations to try it later. To be able to discover this spiritual stone mine, I can only say that I am really lucky.

First of all, it happens to be an advanced foundation, and it requires too much spiritual power, so the infusion body causes a huge suction force, and the array flag that happens to store the spirit stone is on the window of the spirit stone mine. Of course, it can be found that it also relies on its own earth escape technique, strong spiritual power, and the core of the sea of knowledge that others can't enter, and so on. All of them are indispensable, so it was a fluke to be able to discover this mineral deposit this time.

The process of returning to the cave was very easy, but along the way, he carefully recorded the route he walked, and the location of the spirit stone mine had been deeply remembered by him.

Seeing that everything was normal after seeing that nothing happened, he sent a summons to the head Zhang Wutong, telling him that he had completed the foundation building and would be out of the customs tomorrow. It's already the foundation building period, and it's a lot easier to use this kind of teleportation artifact.

After a while, he received a reply from Zhang Wutong, saying that he would wait for him in Qiyun Hall tomorrow morning.

After nodding with satisfaction, Yu Ting went to the bedroom of the cave mansion, and with a wave of his hand, the dust accumulated over the months was swept away, and then he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

These months of retreat, especially the process of building the foundation, can be described as exhausting. The pain caused by washing the essence and cutting the marrow, especially the huge abdominal pain caused by the onset of the birthmark, and the exploration of the spirit stone mine just now, all made him tired, and it was not even clear how long the abdominal pain had made him unconscious. Now that I've finally finished the process, I'm in a good mood and relaxed, and now I need to get a good night's sleep.

Tomorrow, let's talk to the head first, and then go to Lan Mei. Of course, it is necessary to celebrate it well, and it is inevitable to make out a little. I have built a foundation and my body is more robust, will I become more robust when I make love? Yu Ting is looking forward to it.

Thinking about it, he fell asleep in a daze with a sweet smile on his face.
