In the days when Zhou Daoyi was not in Lanzhou, a lot of things happened in Lanzhou.

At that time, after hearing the news of the destruction of the Mu family, he was also shocked in Yunzhou.

If it weren't for the fact that the Zhou family still had Zhou Mingde, the pillar of the town, he was afraid that he would have to replace him.

The fierce battles he has participated in and witnessed in Yunzhou have also given him a great sense of crisis about the current situation.

He knew in his heart that the Zhou family must have an explosion in terms of overall strength in order to stabilize itself and seek development in the next complex situation.

So after returning with Tsukidan this time, the first thing he did was to ask Zhou Chun to start retreat and concentrate on improving his cultivation to prepare for foundation building.

Now that the Zhou family has two Zhuji Dan in hand, as long as Zhou Chun's luck is not extremely bad, the success of building the foundation is not a problem.

If you are lucky and succeed with only one Zhuji Dan, then the extra Zhuji Dan will have another chance to create another foundation building monk for the Zhou family!

And although Zhou Chun didn't understand why Zhou Daoyi was so eager to let himself build a foundation, since this was the patriarch's order, and it was beneficial and harmless to himself, he naturally would not object.

So after handing over the affairs of the clan with Zhou Daoyi, he returned to his residence to concentrate on cultivation.

Of course, Zhou Chun couldn't spend all the time of the day on cultivation, and cultivation only took up part of that time.

The rest of the time, he was thinking about what to do after the foundation was built.

When Zhou Daoyi asked him to retreat and build the foundation, he took the opportunity to let him bring a copy of "Detailed Explanation of Building the Foundation" from the library, which was specially compiled by the senior monks of the Zhou family for the new monks of the later generations.

The book lists in detail the development of the monk's path after building the foundation, including the selection of exercises, the skills to be elected, the secret techniques to focus on, and the direction of methods to improve themselves.

I don't dare to say that this "Detailed Explanation of Foundation Building" has written all the situations of the foundation building monks, but it will definitely let the monks who read this book take fewer detours and wrong roads, and have more opportunities to impact the Purple Mansion.

Therefore, although this book is not a secret technique, it is not something that the monks below the foundation of the Zhou family can read.

Originally, Zhou Chun should have waited until the foundation was successfully built before he could read this book.

But the patriarch Zhou Daoyi decided that he could build a successful foundation, so he let him see it in advance, so that after the foundation was successfully built, he could quickly make a choice.

To be honest, after reading this book, Zhou Chun's eyes were indeed opened, and he grew a lot of useful knowledge.

But soon he also faced a choice difficulty.

Because there are a lot of trade-offs to make!

In many places, once you make a choice, you can basically go down one path, and if you want to change it, it will be very difficult.

This made it easy for Zhou Chun to be in a daze at the sky when he was idle for many days in the future.

And in addition to the various choices that he needs to make after building his foundation, Zhou Chun also has one more thing to worry about, that is, the promotion of the Rock and Earth Turtle and the Silver Lightning Thunder Python to the second order.

Among them, the Silver Lightning Thunder Python is an intermediate-level demon beast, and there is no bottleneck in promoting to the second order.

But if it is allowed to grow normally, the time span from the first-order high-grade demon beast to the second-order demon beast will be very long.

If you want it to be promoted to a second-order demon beast quickly, you still have to prepare some precious pills and spiritual objects that can accelerate its growth.

And the rock and soil turtle is only a low-level demon beast, although it has used a piece of "Tian Huangshi" to purify the bloodline, but if you want to sublimate the bloodline and evolve into an intermediate demon beast, you also need to use some special spiritual objects to help.

Those special spiritual objects are often not cheap, and they are extremely difficult to find.

Don't look at Zhou Chun's net worth now, but if you want to support these two spirit pets to be promoted to the second order, I am afraid that most of the family wealth will also be dispersed.

This is because after he successfully built the foundation, he didn't need to spend money to buy exercises and tools for himself.

Otherwise, if he is just a casual cultivator, he will have accumulated tens of thousands of net worth before building the foundation, and he will soon spend it after the foundation is successfully built.

Earn more and spend more, which is a very normal phenomenon after building the foundation.

"So it's actually still a money word!"

"If I succeed in building the foundation, I can make ten times more money than a monk of the same level, and I will have a lot more choices, so I don't have to worry so much about how to choose!"

"If I can be dozens of times stronger than the earning power of a monk of the same level, then even if I say everything arrogantly, I will have enough confidence to support it!"

In the courtyard, Zhou Chun looked up at the sky and muttered to himself.

I have seen the appearance and realized the true meaning.

Being rich in the world of cultivating immortals is definitely not everything.

If you have money, you can't let immortal cultivators do whatever they want.

However, for monks below the Jindan stage, the spirit coins that do not worry about expenses can still solve most of the problems and troubles encountered.

Whether it is magic weapons, elixirs, magic runes, or exercises, secret arts, these things can be bought with spirit coins.

A certain high-level monk once said that even a pig could be cultivated into a third-order demon beast as long as it was willing to cultivate it regardless of the cost of spirit coins!

This is somewhat exaggerated.

But it's also mostly true.

But if you want to be rich, it's easier said than done!

As Zhou Chun himself said, a person whose earning ability is ten times stronger than that of a monk of the same level is how rare it is in the world of cultivating immortals!

I'm afraid that only one person in a thousand people can be found, which can be described as one in a thousand!

And those who are dozens of times stronger, I'm afraid that they have to choose one out of ten thousand!

It is precisely because of the great demand for money that after the monks build a foundation, they will begin to try to cultivate one or two immortal cultivation skills in order to earn some extra money.

After all, raw materials are not valuable, and low-level materials are not difficult to obtain for foundation building monks.

If you can do self-production and self-sale, it is also good.

However, the skill of cultivating immortals also requires talent and understanding, and it will take up a lot of time and energy of immortal cultivators, so not everyone can learn to do it well.

However, if he really has the talent and cultivates any of the four skills of the Dan Weapon Rune Array to a high depth, then his earning ability can indeed exceed that of ordinary monks of the same level.

It's like an immortal cultivator family like the pill Li family, the amount of spirit coins that an alchemy master earns for the family in a year can reach half of the income of the entire family!

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a humanoid money-making machine.

"I have a purification stone jar, and after the foundation is successfully built, I have mastered the method of purifying the turbidity in the spiritual object, and I can use it as a cover to try to sell a large number of purified elixirs to earn the difference!"

"And with this treasure in hand, as long as my strength allows in the future, I can also go alone to hunt demons in the uninhabited wilderness to collect medicine, and stay in the wilderness for a long time, without worrying about battery life."

"And with the convenience that purifying the turbid qi is much easier than others, I can also get more training materials at the lowest price by cultivating the immortal cultivation skills of the Dan Weapon Rune Array."

"I still have family support, as long as I am in a high position in the family, when it is really critical, I can use my family savings to help me buy some important things!"

Zhou Chun was thinking about his own way of making money, and felt that he still had a great advantage over other immortal cultivators.

In this case, it is not impossible to choose a little more widely.

After all, dreams still have to be had!

Thinking of this, he held the book "Detailed Explanation of Building the Foundation" and re-studied it.

Five months later, with the help of the medicinal power of the Golden Bud Pill, Zhou Chun finally broke through the last three points in one breath, and all the one hundred and eight points in his body were opened.

At this time, his mana cultivation had reached the limit that a Qi Refining Stage cultivator could reach, and he could no longer advance an inch.

If you want to make progress in mana cultivation, you can only build a successful foundation.

And just after he completed his deeds and went to meet the patriarch Zhou Daoyi.

Zhou Daoyi just asked him a few words, then took out two pill bottles containing Zhuji Dan on the spot and handed them to him: "These two Zhuji Dan will be given to you first, you can relax and go to retreat and build the foundation, don't have any worries!" ”

"Yes, the younger generation must live up to the high expectations of the patriarch!"

Zhou Chun took a deep breath, and without hesitation, he took the two Zhuji Dan and put them into the storage bag, his tone was very solemn.

Then he entered the secret room on the top of the pagoda peak that was specially used for the clansmen to build the foundation in Zhou Daoyi's personal send-off.

The secret room used to build the foundation is in an excellent location, just on the main vein of the Jiufeng Ridge spiritual vein, and the aura is very strong.

Moreover, this place is very quiet, and a separate isolation formation is arranged outside the secret room.

After entering the secret room, as long as the formation is opened, there are people fighting outside, and there is no sound inside.

After Zhou Chun walked into the secret room, he closed the thick stone door and locked it from the inside.

Then he took out a piece of "sunglowstone" and placed it on the lampstand in the room, illuminating the stone room of about thirty or forty square meters.

Inside the stone room, there is a desk and bookshelves, on which are placed some foundation-building experiences left by predecessors.

There is another cold jade collapse.

Hanyu is a kind of spiritual jade, and when it is made into a jade bed, the monks meditate cross-legged on it, which has the effect of concentrating and calming the mind.

In the first half month of Zhou Chun's stay in the secret room, he just meditated daily to sort out his mana and qi machine and read the foundation building experience of those predecessors.

When he was hungry, he took a Bigu pill, and when he was thirsty, he cast a spell to gather clear water, and when he was sleepy, he went to the cold jade.

After half a month like this, he felt that his state had adjusted to the best.

So he sat down cross-legged on top of the cold jade collapse, took out a Tsukidan and put it in his mouth, and slowly dissolved it with the liquid in his mouth.

The matter of building a foundation is subtle, but in fact, it is like that.

In addition to some unexpected factors, there are three main factors that hinder the success of the monk's foundation, namely, the spiritual root qualification, the monk's mental will, and the physical state.

The better the spiritual root qualifications, the easier it is to build a successful foundation.

If you have the qualification of a high-grade spiritual root, if you take a Zhuji Dan, the success rate of building the foundation will be directly more than five or six percent.

On the other hand, looking at the Zhongpin Linggen qualification, the success rate of taking Zhuji Dan is only between three or four percent, and it is difficult to exceed fifty percent.

As for the lower grade Linggen qualification, the success rate will only be lower.

The reasons for this are not complicated.

Because the better the spiritual root qualifications, the less "impurities" in his body, and a big use of Tsukidan is to help monks get rid of "impurities".

It is said that on top of the high-grade spiritual root, there is also a "Heavenly Spirit Root" qualification, and a monk with that kind of qualification can easily build a foundation without even building a foundation Dan!

However, the monk of that spiritual root is a great sect such as Qinglian Guan, and it is difficult to produce one person in a hundred years.

The Zhou family has been inherited for more than 1,700 years, and there has never been a monk with this kind of spiritual root, which shows that it is rare!

Compared with the importance of spiritual root qualifications, the monk's mental will has less influence on the success of foundation building.

Once the twelfth layer monk of the Qi refining period begins to attack the foundation, many illusions will arise in his mind to confuse the monk's consciousness, and if the monk cannot penetrate these illusions and let the consciousness detach, he will eventually exhaust his spirit in the boundless illusion.

The stronger the mental will, the faster the illusion will be explored, and the less the illusion will consume too much energy and waste the medicinal power of the Tsukidan that has been taken.

As for the physical state, as long as the monk is not seventy or eighty years old, the flesh and blood qi begin to decay, the meridians begin to shrink, or there are any internal injuries that are difficult to heal, in fact, it does not have much effect.

Zhou Chun's spiritual root qualification is medium-grade, not very good, but not very bad either.

After he took Tsukidan, it didn't take long for him to feel the effects of the medicine on his body.

A tingling sensation seemed to grow from his bones, making him extremely uncomfortable.

This situation has long been recorded in the foundation building experience of the predecessors, so he didn't panic at all, just silently ran the exercises, absorbing the cool cold air emitted by the cold jade collapse under him.

With the help of the cool and cold air, the tingling sensation was suppressed to a more bearable force.

At this time, on the surface of the skin where Zhou Chun had already removed his clothes, a gray-white substance secretion could be faintly seen.

This thing is the "impurity" in the monk's body, something that hinders the monk's longevity and detachment.

The classics do not describe this object too much, only saying that it is a kind of impurities that are innate in the human body.

This process of removing "impurities" was very slow, and it took seven days and seven nights for Zhou Chun to have no impurities overflowing from his body.

This is not to say that the impurities in his body have been removed, but the medicinal power of Tsukidan can only be removed here.

Generally speaking, when the medicinal power of the Tsukidan no longer removes impurities from the monk's body, it also means that the monk can build the foundation.

So Zhou Chun quickly calmed down and entered the next stage.

That is, the stage of real foundation building.

Rumble!

As if touching some kind of taboo, Zhou Chun's consciousness darkened in his mind, and when he woke up again, he already found that his whole body was tied to the pillar, and the other "himself" was holding a barbed iron whip and looked at him coldly.

"Outsider, you can't imagine it, after walking in the immortal cultivation realm under my identity for more than ten years, you will fall into my hands again today!"

"What do you think I'm going to do to quench the hatred in my heart?"

The voice full of hatred came from the mouth of "himself", and the iron whip in his hand also hit Zhou Chun hard.

Yes!

The intense pain made Zhou Chun can't help but scream, only to feel that he has never suffered such severe pain.

"Is it painful? Pain is right! Feel the pain! Hahahaha......"

The crazy laughter and the painful screams of Zhou Chun rang out.

Under the extreme pain, Zhou Chun felt as if his consciousness was about to be torn apart.

He was also very panicked in his heart, and he didn't understand how the "self" who was beating him had "lived" again.

"Could it be that his remnant soul has not been dispersed, but has been hidden in the sea of knowledge?"

Zhou Chun thought in horror in his heart, and then he was whipped again, so painful that he let out a miserable scream again.

And as soon as this idea came to him, he couldn't help but follow it, and then he thought about it carefully, and the fear in his heart became deeper and deeper.

At the same time, the pain caused by the iron whip became more and more intense, and even made it difficult for Zhou Chun to think about anything more.

"Wait a minute, can you stop and listen to me?"

He struggled to scream, hoping to stop him.

But he was greeted by a rapidly enlarged iron whip that struck straight at his door.

didn't need any explanation, as if he just wanted to vent the hatred in his heart, no matter how Zhou Chun yelled, he never stopped whipping his iron whip.

It didn't take long for him to realize that something was wrong.

Why has he been beaten for so long, but he has been feeling pain and weakness, and his soul has not been significantly damaged?

"I see! You're not an unextinguished remnant at all, you're just a vain thought! ”

A loud shout full of surprise came from Zhou Chun's mouth, and then he ignored the iron whip that had been whipped, no longer had any panic and fear, and faced the iron whip like this.

Suddenly, as if a breeze was blowing, the iron whip and darkness in front of him quickly dispersed, and Zhou Chun's consciousness returned to the retreat room.

"Oops! A lot of Tsukidan's medicinal power has passed! ”

When his consciousness returned to consciousness, Zhou Chunyi looked at his body inwardly, and his mood sank, and he felt that something was wrong.

Originally, to remove the "impurities" in his body, Tsukidan's medicinal power consumed a lot.

And he didn't know how long he had been trapped in that illusion, and the mental deficit he had been consuming was all made up for by the medicinal power of the Tsukidan.

Now there is not much left.

But even so, Zhou Chun could only grit his teeth and continue.

I saw that his divine sense controlled wisps of misty mana to flow into the dantian qi sea cave, forcibly fusing them into a larger wisp of mana, and then trying to make it form a cyclone.

But even after he had taken the "Soul Heart Fruit", his divine sense was much stronger than that of an ordinary Qi Refining Stage twelveth-layer cultivator, and it was not easy to do this.

And every time the formation of a cyclone fails, the forcibly fused mana collapses and collides in the Qi Sea Cave, which will have a great impact on the acupuncture points.

It's just because the medicinal power of Tsukidan can form a protective film inside the acupuncture points that he can keep trying.

In this way, the innocence of the Zhou Dynasty formed a cyclone, and after the mana in the meridians and other points in the body was attracted through the rotating cyclone, the cyclone also became bigger and bigger.

At this time, a very magical scene appeared.

Originally, it seemed to be a small qi sea cave, but as the qi rotated, the space inside gradually became more and more open, as if something had been blown away.

Almost!

After Zhou Chun sensed this scene, he realized that it was time to take the last and most dangerous step!

I saw that his divine consciousness was concentrated in the cyclone in the Qi Sea Cave, and suddenly condensed into an invisible pillar, stirring in reverse to try to push the cyclone to reverse.

As a result, the cyclone quickly shook violently under his agitation, showing signs of instability, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly slowed down the agitation.

Then, when the air rotation stabilized, he continued to stir in the opposite direction.

But after trying like this more than a dozen times, because of one mistake he made, the cyclone suddenly burst out and exploded, turning into countless mist and rushing in all directions.

Suddenly, a sharp pain erupted from Zhou Chun's abdomen, and the pain was so painful that he almost fainted on the spot.

After the pain passed, he was depressed to find that his first foundation building had completely failed!

Because the protective film generated by the medicinal power of the Zhuji Dan in his body had been completely shattered in the impact of the mana storm just now.

Fortunately, he is protected by that protective film, otherwise he is afraid that he would have to break the sea of qi now, and his cultivation will be completely wasted!
