73 Build the foundation and renovate the exercises
Spring went to autumn, and two years passed.
Lingque Palace, the door of the No. 37 practice room opened, and Shen Long walked out, he was still the ninth layer of qi refining, and in the past two years, he had been polishing his mana.
There are three major difficulties in building a foundation, one is mana, the second is divine consciousness, and the third is the physical body.
The mana level generally relies on the Tsukidan, and if you want to pass the physical level and the divine consciousness level, you usually take a panacea.
Shen Long is planning to attack the foundation building period, he already has the foundation building pill, and he also needs to buy a elixir to strengthen his physical body and divine sense.
Out of the Lingque Palace, Shen Long sacrificed a flying magic weapon and came to the Free Trade Valley.
After walking around the street, he came to the Golden Toad Tower.
Shen Long walked to a counter and said to a green-shirted attendant, "This junior brother, are you deacons there? I want to buy something, I want to talk to him alone."
The green-shirted attendant nodded, and called a blue-shirted man in his early forties, and the blue-shirted man led Shen Long into a side hall.
"I want to buy a first-order elixir to strengthen my physical body and divine sense, do you have any good introductions?"
Shen Long asked, he had looked through the relevant books and knew that he should buy those elixirs.
"The first-order pills that strengthen the physical body are the Blood Ginseng Pill, the Quenching Bone Pill and the Jin Shan Pill, the Green Lotus Pill and the Nourishing Divine Pill can strengthen the Divine Sense, this is the price list, the junior brother can take a look."
The man in the blue shirt took out a blue magic disc and handed it to Shen Long.
Shen Long checked it, bought a bottle of Blood Ginseng Pill and a bottle of Green Lotus Pill, and spent eight hundred spirit stones, one Blood Ginseng Pill thirty spirit stones, and one Green Lotus Pill fifty spirit stones.
Leaving Jin Toad Tower, he wandered around the Free Trade Valley, ran to two stores one after another, and bought a bottle of Quenching Bone Pill, a bottle of Nourishing Divine Pill, two bottles of Spirit Feeding Pill and the corpse of a first-order late twin-tailed scorpion, and left the Free Trade Valley.
Shen Long came to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to check the experience of his predecessors in the foundation building period, and have more references.
Half a day later, Shen Long left the Scripture Pavilion and returned to the Lingque Palace.
He came to the thirty-seventh practice room, opened the door with a token, and walked in.
Closing the door, Shen Long patted a spirit beast bag on his waist, and the iron-tailed scorpion flew out, it had already advanced to the late stage of the first order, and it had not yet mutated.
Shen Long took out the body of the twin-tailed scorpion he bought, let the iron-tailed scorpion devour it, fed it two twenty-year-old mustard plants, and took it back into the spirit beast bag.
He sat cross-legged on the stone bed and meditated and pranayama.
A quarter of an hour later, Shen Long opened his eyes, he first took a Bigu pill, then took out a blue porcelain bottle, and poured out a blood-red pill, the surface of the pill had three Dan lines.
The lower grade blood ginseng pill has the effect of enhancing qi and blood and strengthening the body.
If it is a medium-grade blood ginseng pill, the price will be more expensive, but it is just an impact on the foundation building period, and there is no need to take a body forging pill that is too powerful, which is the experience of many disciples of the Imperial Spirit Sect during the foundation building period.
Shen Long put the Blood Ginseng Pill into his mouth, the pill melted in his mouth, and it didn't take long for him to feel a slight heat in his abdomen, qi and blood surging, and his body had a feeling of dryness and heat.
Shen Long hurriedly exercised his skills and refined this medicinal power.
······
Jin Chan Peak, a vast manor, pavilions, waterwheel promenade.
Xu Feng and a slender young woman in a blue dress sat in a cyan stone pavilion, drinking tea and chatting.
"Senior Sister Chen, are there no other spiritual fluids?"
Xu Feng frowned and asked, two years ago, he bought four eggs of the hundred-eyed golden cicada, and he tried all kinds of means, but they failed to hatch.
"Yes, Yun Ling Jade Liquid, but this is a third-order spiritual object, I can't get my hands on it, the vitality of those four insect eggs is too weak, you better give up!" There's no need to spend too many spirit stones and energy on it."
The young woman in the blue dress opened her mouth to persuade.
Xu Feng is a well-known insect idiot, and when he got the eggs of the hundred-eyed golden cicada, he naturally wanted to hatch.
"Thank you Senior Sister Chen for reminding me, I'd better think of other ways! If there is anything to help hatch the hundred-eyed golden cicada, please help me keep an eye on it."
Xu Feng said politely.
The young woman in the blue dress nodded and agreed.
······
Five months passed quickly, and the Lingque Temple.
In the No. 37 practice room, Shen Longpan was sitting on a cyan stone bed, with several porcelain vases in front of him, and his aura was much stronger than before.
Shen Long took the pill of forging his body and increasing his divine consciousness to strengthen his physical body and divine consciousness, and then took the Zhuji Dan, which came naturally and successfully entered the foundation building period.
"Is this the foundation?"
Shen Long muttered to himself, he could clearly feel that his divine sense had increased a lot, and at the same time, the mana at the dantian had changed from gaseous to liquid.
There was a layer of black impurities on the surface of Shen Long's body, emitting a disgusting fishy smell, which was the impurities that he discharged from his body during the foundation building period.
He performed a dust purification technique, and the impurities came off his body.
A spirit beast bag on Shen Long's waist shook a little, and he patted the spirit beast bag, and the iron-tailed scorpion flew out of it, and the tail thorn was pitch black and shiny.
"It's mutated!"
Shen Long was surprised, he had used the corpse of the first-order two-tailed scorpion and the Cuttle Grass to feed the Iron-tailed Scorpion for less than three years, and the Iron-tailed Scorpion had actually mutated.
According to the experience of the predecessors of the Imperial Spirit Sect in cultivating mutant spirit insects, a few will take ten or eight years, and higher-level spirit objects are needed to have a probability of mutation.
Shen Long gave the order to the Irontail Scorpion to attack him.
A blue light lit up on the surface of his body, revealing a thick blue curtain of water, protecting his whole body.
The iron-tailed scorpion opened its mouth and spewed out a pungent yellow poisonous mist, hitting the blue water curtain, a burst of green smoke appeared, the aura of the blue water curtain dimmed, its tail thorn shook, hit the blue water curtain, and the blue water curtain shattered like a bubble.
Shen Long's figure recoiled, avoiding the tail spines of the iron-tailed scorpion.
The iron-tailed scorpion has mutated, and its attack is highly poisonous, and its attack power has increased a lot.
The iron-tailed scorpion let out a sharp hissing sound, and its tail spur swayed left and right, as if it was asking Shen Long for credit.
Shen Long took out a spirit feeding pill and fed it to the iron-tailed scorpion.
He took out the Spirit Tower and injected mana.
His mana poured into the Imperial Spirit Pagoda uncontrollably like a flood of floods, and the Imperial Spirit Pagoda suddenly lit up with a dazzling blue light, generating a powerful suction, and Shen Long's body was sucked into the Imperial Spirit Pagoda uncontrollably.
He appeared next to the Imperial Spirit Pool, and unlike before, there was a blue light ladder, and at the end of the light ladder was a blue light door, which led to somewhere.
"What is this?"
Shen Long was slightly stunned, he entered the foundation building period, and there was actually an extra blue light door, could it lead to the second layer?
"There won't be any monsters!"
Shen Long said to himself, tower magic weapons are usually used to trap enemies, and it would not be strange if the previous owner of the Imperial Spirit Pagoda raised spirit beasts on the second layer.
He thought about it and planned not to go to find out first, and go to receive the benefits of the sect first.
The disciples of the newly built foundation can obtain an immortal cultivation resource from the Imperial Spirit Sect.
Shen Long looked at the Imperial Spirit Pool, the hundred-eyed golden cicada was lying in the Imperial Spirit Pool, it was still in the early stage of the first order, and it did not recognize the master.
He entered the foundation building period, so naturally there was no need to sell the hundred-eyed golden cicada.
He has more than 20,000 spirit stones on his body, and there is no shortage of resources for the time being.
Shen Long planted a ban on the Hundred Eyes Golden Cicada, and the difference in strength was too great, and the Hundred Eyes Golden Cicada couldn't resist at all.
After feeding the Hundred Eyes Golden Cicada a Spirit Feeding Pill, he withdrew from the Imperial Spirit Tower.
Walking out of the practice room, Shen Long walked outside and came to the main hall, he returned the token, and the imperial weapon went to the Deacon Tower.
According to the regulations of the Imperial Spirit Sect, the newly promoted foundation building monks can obtain 5,000 spirit stones and a medium-grade magic weapon, they can go to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to choose a practice, and they can also move to the inner peak and have a new cave mansion.
After receiving the benefits of the newly promoted foundation building, Shen Long Imperial Weapon came to the Hidden Scripture Pavilion and walked towards the second floor.
The layout of the second floor of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is similar to that of the first floor, there is a cyan counter at the entrance of the stairs, and an old man in a green robe with a ruddy face sits behind the counter, holding an ancient book in his hand and reading it with relish.
Some of the disciples of the Imperial Spirit Sect were consulting the classics and had selected them
Give it to the old man in the green robe to copy, and it takes good deeds to copy the classics.
Shen Long walked towards a cyan bookshelf, on which hung a wooden sign with "Gongfa" written on it, and there were many classics on the shelf, and he flipped through it.
"The Lion's Roar Skill requires the essence and blood of the lion demon beast to assist in cultivation, and if the first three layers of cultivation are successful, you can spew sound waves to attack the enemy, and your physical body will also be strengthened, and your strength will be infinite."
"The Golden Cicada Treasure Book, you need the essence blood of the cicada demon insect to assist in cultivation, the first three layers of cultivation are successful, and the eyes can see the situation in the distance, the higher the cultivation layer, the farther you can see."
"Xuanying Dafa requires the essence and blood of eagle demon birds to assist in cultivation, the first three layers of cultivation are successful, the body is as light as a swallow, the reaction is quick, and it has a good bonus effect on cultivating wind spells."
······
Shen Long picked up a book and looked through it carefully, the Imperial Spirit Sect had three major Zhen Sect exercises, but he didn't have great merit and was not qualified to cultivate.
Most of these exercises require the essence and blood of demon beasts to assist in cultivation, and there are also some kendo and Dan Dao exercises, but they are general.
After a cup of tea, Shen Long picked up a red jade slip and immersed his divine sense in it.
"Nine Transformation Jiaogong, a total of twelve layers, this sect only includes the cultivation method of the first seven layers, obtained from the Five Dragons Sect of the Beihai Immortal Cultivation Realm, this set of exercises is the Zhenzong Gong of the Five Dragons Sect, you need to collect the essence blood of the dragon to assist in cultivation, the first three layers only need to collect the essence and blood of the demon beast with the blood of the dragon to assist in cultivation, the first three layers of cultivation are successful, the strength and body can get a lot of increase, the higher the number of layers, the greater the increase, the cultivation to the tenth layer, you can incarnate into the form of the dragon, and use the dragon's magical power to attack the enemy."
Shen Long's eyes are hot, and the "Nine Transformation Jiaogong" can be used as the Zhenzong Gong of the Five Dragons Sect, and it is definitely not comparable to those big roads.
The wealth and law are in the second place, which shows that a good practice is very important.
As far as Shen Long knew, in terms of the power of the physical body alone, Jiaolong was also among the best among many demon beasts, and Jiaolong's supernatural powers were far from being comparable to ordinary demon beasts.
The natal spirit beast of the Red Jiao Zhenren, one of the nine masters of the Imperial Spirit Sect, is a third-order Red Fire Jiao, which does not fall behind with one enemy and two enemies, and moves one side in the name.
Shen Long put down the jade slip, picked up a cyan jade slip, and immersed his divine sense in it.
He checked all the exercise books on the bookshelf, and through comparison, he found that the "Nine Transformation Jiaogong" had the strongest supernatural powers, and the cultivation conditions were also the most demanding.
The first three layers of "Nine Transformation Jiaogong" need to collect the essence blood of the first-order demon beasts with the blood of the dragon, the fourth to sixth layers need the essence blood of the second-order Jiaolong to assist the cultivation, and the tenth to twelfth layers need the essence blood of the fourth-order Jiaolong to assist the cultivation.
If the amount of essence blood is too small, it is not good, it does not mean that a bottle of essence blood can successfully cultivate the third layer.
Shen Long walked towards another bookshelf, and there was a wooden sign with "Lessons from Predecessors" written on it.
On the bookshelf, there are many jade slips of different colors, divided into multiple areas, and each area is placed with a golden wooden plaque with the words "toad", "cicada", "tiger", "eagle", "ape", "python" and so on.
Shen Long came to a golden wooden plaque with "Jiao" written on it, and dozens of jade slips of different colors were placed behind the wooden plaque.
The jade slips are all forbidden, and only part of the content can be seen, which is enough.
Shen Long checked all the contents of the jade slip, and held a red jade slip in his hand, this jade slip was written by the real person of the Ice Silkworm, and recorded his experience in cultivating the "Nine Transformation Jiaogong".
The Ice Silkworm is one of the Nine Masters of the Imperial Spirit, and has raised a third-order blue-eyed ice silkworm as a natal spirit worm.
Shen Long selected two jade slips, recorded the "Nine Transformation Jiaogong" and "Transformation Jiaogong Cultivation Experience" respectively, came to the counter, and took out the identity plate.
"Senior brother, I want to copy the contents of these two jade slips."
Shen Long handed the identity plate to the old man in the green robe and said politely.
The old man in the green robe swept the two jade slips with his divine sense, took out two blank jade slips and a magic disc with golden light flashing, and put the two blank jade slips on the golden magic disc one after another, and the golden magic disc lit up with a golden light one after another.
He took out another cyan magic plate and put Shen Long's identity nameplate on the cyan magic disk
Face, after the cyan magic disk lit up with a blue light, he returned the identity plate to Shen Long.
"That's it!"
The old man in the green robe picked up the classics and continued to read them.
Shen Long thanked him, put away the two jade slips and the identity plate, and walked downstairs.
As soon as he walked out of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, he saw Chen Qingqing standing not far away.
"Congratulations! Senior Brother Shen!"
Chen Qingqing smiled slightly and opened his mouth to congratulate.
"Senior Sister Chen, you came here specifically to find me!"
Shen Long said that he didn't believe that Chen Qingqing happened to be in the Scripture Pavilion.
"That's right, you've just entered the foundation building period, and you haven't had a cave yet! Let's go to my place first, and we'll have a good talk, I know you have a lot of confusion."
Chen Qingqing said.
"Then it's going to trouble Senior Sister Chen."
Shen Long agreed, he had already thought of this day.
Chen Qingqing sacrificed a blue flying boat and walked up, and Shen Long followed.
As soon as she pinched the trick, the blue flying boat suddenly lit up with a dazzling blue light and flew towards the sky.
After a cup of tea, the blue flying boat appeared over a small valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there was a manor house with blue bricks and blue tiles, pavilions, garden fish ponds, and rockery mountain wheels.
Chen Qingqing's magic trick was pinched, and the blue flying boat landed in front of a blue stone pavilion, and an energetic blue-robed old man sat in the stone pavilion.
"Senior Brother Shen, let me introduce you, this is Senior Brother Qin of the Deacon Hall, he is responsible for assigning the Cave Mansion to the newly promoted Foundation Building Cultivators, do you want to join that peak?"
Chen Qingqing asked.
"Senior Brother Shen, old man Qin Hai, if you choose the peaks and falls, I will arrange the cave for you."
The blue-robed old man introduced a sentence and said.
"What's the point of picking peaks?"
Shen Long asked, there are seventy-two inner peaks, and the treatment of different inner peaks is different.
"Generally speaking, the stronger the peaks and falls, the better the treatment, but the more monks and less porridge, the stronger the strength, the more immortal cultivation resources will naturally be distributed, the strength of some peaks and falls is not strong, the number of foundation building monks is not much, and if you are a little better, you can get more immortal cultivation resources, these are some of the situations of the seventy-two inner peaks, you can take a look."
Qin Hai took out a magic disk with blue light flashing and handed it to Shen Long.
Shen Long took the magic plate and looked at it carefully.
There is not much content in the introduction of the Fapan, but it only introduces who the peak master is and the treatment of the disciples of the peak.
After some consideration, Shen Long said, "I'll choose Heavenly Tiger Peak!"
The peak master of Tianhu Peak is Qinghu Zhenren, and the monks in the early stage of foundation building can receive 700 spirit stones every year, and there are more than 30 foundation building monks.
Qin Hai took out a golden magic disk, handed it to Shen Long, and said, "This is the cave mansion where Heavenly Tiger Peak is still empty, you can choose one yourself!"
Shen Long took the golden magic plate and carefully selected it.
"I'll choose the Blue Lotus Garden!"
Shen Long said, took out the identity plate and handed it to Qin Hai.
Qinglian Garden covers an area of 52 acres, 40 acres of spiritual fields, a fish pond, a lake and an attic.
Lakes can be planted with water-based elixirs, such as green lotus.
Qin Hai took out a silver flashing magic disk, put the identity nameplate on the silver magic disk, the silver magic disk lit up with a silver light, he took out a square cyan token, engraved with a cyan lotus pattern on the front, and the word "green lotus" written on the reverse.
"This is the key to enter and exit the Blue Lotus Garden, Senior Brother Shen, you take it, if there is nothing to do, I will leave."
Qin Hai handed over the identity plate and cyan token to Shen Long.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Senior Brother Qin, don't talk about today's matter."
Chen Qingqing admonished.
"Senior Sister Chen, don't worry, I know the rules of your intelligence hall, take your leave."
Qin Hai agreed, and the imperial weapon left.
Chen Qingqing picked up the teapot, poured a cup of spiritual tea for Shen Long, and said, "Senior Brother Shen, I know you have a lot of questions for me, just ask whatever you want!"
"Senior Sister Chen, it stands to reason that the Intelligence Hall has a special spy! Why did you send me suddenly? Could it be that something happened to the spies in Zhao Kingdom?"
Shen Long asked.
The Zhao State also has a sect of cultivating immortals and a family of cultivating immortals, strictly speaking, the Zhao State belongs to the territory of the Demon Dao, and the Qin State belongs to the territory of the Righteous Dao.
"That's right, our intelligence network in Zhao State has almost been uprooted, and we need to re-establish the intelligence network, I have taken a fancy to you, Senior Brother Shen, when do you think you are the poorest?"
Chen Qingqing asked.
Shen Long thought for a moment and said, "You are the poorest when you only have five spirit stones on your body."
"I asked this question to the spies sent out by this sect, some said that they were the poorest when they only had 10,000 spirit stones on their bodies, and some spies thought that when they were the poorest, they could only eat five spirit stones and one catty of spiritual rice, and they went to Zhao Country to be spies, first, they couldn't endure hardship, and secondly, they couldn't pretend to be loose cultivators at all, and the intelligence network was terminated, because a spy said that he liked to drink Biyue spirit tea, and his disguised identity was loose cultivation, and he hunted demon beasts for a living."
Chen Qingqing said.
Biyue Spirit Tea is thirty spirit stones a catty, how can a casual cultivator have such a luxurious hobby.
Shen Long frowned, he could only say that the growth environment was different, for that disciple, drinking thirty pieces of one pound of Biyue Spirit Tea was enough to be poor, and a real casual cultivator would not buy thirty pieces of spirit stone one pound of spirit tea at all.
"Senior Sister Chen, why do you want to install spies in Zhao Kingdom?"
Shen Long was puzzled.
"What is the rash move of the Zhao Kingdom Immortal Cultivation Realm, we are good to receive the news, what you have to do is to find out some information about the local forces, such as how many foundation building cultivators there are, the relationship with a certain immortal cultivation sect, and what immortal cultivation resources are controlled."
Chen Qingqing explained.
"That's all?"
Shen Long's face was full of confusion, he felt that Chen Qingqing was not telling the truth.
"That's all for now, if there is a new mission, I will send someone to pick you up, since you have built the foundation, then you don't need to give someone a hand, give you five Qi refining cultivators, they will cooperate with you to carry out the mission, they are currently in Xuanyinfang City, and they don't know each other's identities, this is their real name and portrait."
Chen Qingqing took out five portraits and a cyan jade slip.
"It hasn't been long since the intelligence network was terminated, so it's not appropriate to collect information now!"
Shen Long asked.
"Of course, you go over now, just lurk, wait for new instructions, if you receive important information, go to Biyue Tower in Xuanyin Fang City, the shopkeeper is one of our people, just give him a secret signal and give him the information."
Chen Qingqing said.
"Senior Sister Chen, I'm going to lurk in a foreign country, and the treatment won't be too bad!"
Shen Long asked, since you have to go, then try to fight for as many benefits as possible.
He also considered breaking away from the Imperial Spirit Sect and leaving the country, but in this way, the exercises were a big problem, and there were follow-up immortal cultivation resources, he had already lived a life of casual cultivation, and he didn't want to go back to be a casual cultivator.
"The additional allowance of 500 spirit stones every year, if you make a great contribution, it is not impossible to be selected for the seventy-two shows, you are selected for the seventy-two shows, and you will cultivate to the great consummation of the foundation, and the sect will distribute a knot pill spirit object for free, and provide spiritual land and formations, this is not something that you can have in the scattered cultivation, there are two people in the seventy-two shows who are working in the intelligence hall, I advise you, don't think about going away, you are collecting intelligence in Zhao Kingdom, and the errand is not done well, at most it is dereliction of duty, if you go away, it is a betrayal of the sect, you know the rules of the sect, I won't say more."
Chen Qingqing made the pros and cons clear, a disciple like Shen Long who entered the Imperial Spirit Sect halfway did not have a strong sense of belonging to the Imperial Spirit Sect, and a persecution would only backfire, and he also needed to be tempted.
"I took this errand, but the emperor is not a hungry soldier, so it's no problem for me to go to Zhao State to collect intelligence, and Senior Sister Chen is okay to help me with a few small favors!"
Shen Long said.
"A little favor? What's the matter?"
Chen Qingqing asked.
"Help me introduce a second-order refiner, I want to learn the art of refining from him, and then help me collect the essence blood of a first-order demon beast with the blood of Jiaolong, these two requests are not too much!"
Shen Long said.
After entering the foundation building period, Shen Long planned to learn a skill, and he had nearly 30,000 spirit stones on his body, so he could try boldly.
He is more familiar with refining materials, and learning refining tools is a good choice.
"No problem, but you don't want to return to Qingyun Peak, the less people know about your promotion to the foundation building period, the better, so that you can lurk."
Chen Qingqing admonished.
"Understood, I'll go to Heavenly Tiger Peak first, and if you find a good refiner, you will go to Qinglian Garden to find me."
Shen Long said.
Chen Qingqing nodded, said a few words, and let Shen Long leave.
