Chapter Ninety-Six: Building the Foundation (II)
Meng Zhou took advantage of the fact that the sea of knowledge had just been opened up, and the soul had just been stripped from the flesh and blood, and he was in the short window period of the most plasticity to complete the reshaping of the framework of the large system.
With the three poles of essence, energy, and spirit, the cardinal further clarified the direction of the future and the general outline of cultivation.
To say how much strength has been improved by this adjustment, Meng Zhou does not have an obvious feeling.
But many of the doubts that had plagued him had a sense of fog disappearing at this moment.
After dealing with all this, the next step was to take the opportunity to take advantage of the five professions that he had cultivated to the limit of the first order.
Sublimate your career path and use it to validate the idea that certain vocational skills have the opportunity to become certain innate endowments.
Meng Zhou has not fully understood the principle behind this "talent of vocational skills".
But one thing that is certain is that this is an opportunity that can only be found during this kind of great realm breakthrough.
This is a profound insight that has only been verified by him.
He was able to reshape his soul form seemingly easily, reset his cultivation framework, and expand the essence qi bipolar system into the essence qi and spirit tripolar system, all thanks to this, he took advantage of this precious and short window period.
On weekdays, the human body is like a tightly sealed earth.
Only when this great realm is broken through and life as a whole is sublimated and transformed, will this closed earth take the initiative to reveal many gaps.
At this time, whether it is to transform it or plant something, it is the best, or even the only time.
Meng Zhou thought to himself, the so-called Great Dao Foundation and the implantation of "Great Dao Seeds" should have taken advantage of this.
Just as the soul is the easiest to reshape at this moment, the meridian mana, body, qi and blood that are undergoing a comprehensive transformation are also the most active and open time.
In Meng Zhou's understanding, this time is the window period for the temporary failure of the stubborn gene lock.
And this is the premise of vocational talent.
"However, there are not many of the notes I have collected about this.
Whether there will be skill talent, or what kind of skill is talented, there seems to be no pattern to it.
It's like a matter of complete chance. ”
"It would be nice if I could personally specify which skill is talented!"
Meng Zhou was thinking like this in his heart, in the sea of knowledge, in the water surface of the soul pool that was as clear as a mirror, a ball of light suddenly appeared.
"Hey, what is this?"
They come in different sizes and colors, both light and dark.
When Meng Zhou thought of a certain skill in his heart, a light cluster would immediately appear in the soul pool.
"Could it be that as long as I can see in my mind, there will be a corresponding light cluster appearing in the soul pool?"
In order to verify this conjecture, Meng Zhou deliberately went through all the skills he had mastered from beginning to end.
Then an implicit premise was discovered, that is, only when a skill reached the perfection level, would a group of light appear in this soul pool and have a place.
Because it was the only Feihong technique that had not been cultivated to perfection, he tried it many times, but he couldn't put it into the soul pool.
"Why do we need to be perfect?"
This question rose in his heart, and soon, Meng Zhou had some guesses.
In the past, Meng Zhou had thought that when he cultivated an ability to perfection, it meant that he broke free from the shackles of this ability itself and touched a certain "truth" and "truth" behind it.
It is a bit exaggerated to say that he has glimpsed the shadow of the Great Dao, after all, the first-order abilities are still too shallow, floating on the surface, no matter how complete they are, they are still too far away from the Great Dao.
But it deserves the word "true".
Get "true", see "true", touch "true".
Therefore, the essence of these light clusters is not in skills, but in the "truth" and "truth" that he touches through those skills.
When such a thought flashed in Meng Zhou's heart, the large and small light clusters scattered all over the soul pool suddenly dispersed, revealing specific "true forms" one by one.
It's like half-dreaming and half-waking up, and everything you see is just a cloud of light of different sizes, different colors.
It is only when you wake up that you focus your eyes on them again that you can see what they really are.
The true form of the Perfection Water Step is the undulating water surface and a pair of footprints on it as if walking on the ground.
The true shape of the sword palm knife is a rotating blade and a sharp cone tip.
The true form of the straw grasshopper is really a vivid grasshopper;
This is a more realistic form of the true form, and there are many true forms that are more stream-of-consciousness.
But as long as Meng Zhou focused his thoughts, he would immediately know all the information about it.
And just after these abilities showed their original form in the soul pool, Meng Zhou felt the strangeness of qi, blood, and mana.
It's like craving something.
“???”
Because of the framework system he has constructed, the sea of consciousness and the body and mana are not independent, but circularly integrated.
When these true forms appeared in the soul pool, it was equivalent to opening the door to the circulating qi and blood mana.
Although he had some doubts about the abnormality of qi, blood and mana, Meng Zhou still allowed this change to be allowed and did not forcibly stop it.
Then, Meng Zhou saw that the true form representing the perfection of the fourteen martial arts disappeared from the soul pool, mixed with the circulating qi and blood, and with the flow of qi and blood around his body, it turned into the limbs and hundreds of bones little by little.
These true forms disappeared, but the miraculous thing was that the corresponding abilities he had mastered did not disappear, but instead perfectly matched with this strong and horizontal physique that had completed the transformation from Qi training to foundation building.
From martial arts to a talent that this spirit is born with.
Meng Zhou is confident that he can still tread water.
With a wave of his hand, he can still easily use the finger sword palm sword, and the power is even stronger than the previous consummation martial arts, and it is more in line with the current strong and horizontal physique.
"Isn't this the reason why skills are turned into innate endowments?!"
This wonderful change made Meng Zhou's heart both surprised and happy, as well as the joy of solving a puzzle.
He had already known that if he ascended to a professional level during the period of building a foundation, he would have the opportunity to allow cultivators to obtain some innate endowments related to professional skills.
Among them, the most common is that alchemists and refiners will receive the innate endowment of controlling flames, or be further strengthened.
This is exactly the same change that is happening in my body now!
The biggest difference is that other professionals rely on the summary of experience.
And I have seen the essence.
Therefore, he also understands that the promotion of career level card points is not a real necessary condition.
It's not just professional skills that can be talented, any kind of skill, as long as the method is right, in this window period, can be talented!
Since this is the case, he naturally does not need to rush to devote his efforts to the promotion of the professional level at this time.
It is most important to take advantage of this short window to maximize the discovery of this discovery.
Just as these thoughts were spinning in Meng Zhou's heart, the true forms of the eight medicine master spells had also been taken away by the mana, and they had been transformed into the meridians, dantians, and mana.
Its effect is the same as that of the true form of martial arts after it is integrated into the body, and the original spell ability has become a special innate endowment of this body.
In addition to the natural fit between the true form of the fourteen martial arts and the physique, qi and blood, the mutual attraction between the true form of the eight medicine master spells and the mana of the meridians, there was no situation where anyone looked at whom was "more pleasing to the eye".
"Since there are no people who take the initiative to go to each other, then let me connect you with the media."
Meng Zhou thought like this in his heart, the first test object, selected the true form of the breathing technique.
Don't feel sorry if you fail, if you succeed, wouldn't it be a talent for earning interest?!
Meng Zhou used his divine sense to wrap the true form of the Breath Gathering Technique, and took the initiative to send it into the flowing qi and blood, watching it flow with the qi and blood, and little by little into the muscles, bones, and skin membranes.
"It's really doable!" Meng Zhou laughed in his heart.
But also because the fit between it and the physique is far less than the true form of the fourteen martial arts, the efficiency of transformation is much slower.
If the former is like a mixture of wine and water, it is easy to fully blend.
The latter, on the other hand, is like injecting oil into water, which is more difficult and takes longer to fully fuse.
But this time the initiative was successful.
Then, Meng Zhou looked at the four talismans again.
After thinking about it carefully, Meng Zhou sent the True Form of the Light Body Talisman, the True Form of the Flying Arrow Talisman, and the True Form of the Ice Talisman into his qi and blood, wanting to let them melt into his body.
The true form of the Cleansing Talisman is sent into the mana, so that it is transformed into the meridian dantian with the flow of mana.
The reason for this choice, Meng Zhou still has his own considerations.
At first, he just wanted to maximize the effect of the talent.
I felt that the true form of the Flying Arrow Talisman and the True Form of the Ice Talisman should be matched with mana and turned into the meridian dantian, and there was a high probability that he would be able to pick up two innate spells that could grow with his cultivation.
But he quickly reacted, which may increase his immediate combat power, but from the perspective of the big picture, the cold physique is the most suitable for it.
Let it melt into the life pole mana, which may increase some instant combat power, which is beneficial in the short term.
But if you look further, you are creating trouble for your future self.
The speed at which these four talismans were transformed into the muscles, bones, physique, and dantian meridians was slower than the previous true form of the breathing technique, and it was still getting slower and slower.
It looks like one side is getting harder to digest and the other is getting worse and worse.
Meng Zhou had a hunch, "There is one last chance!" ”
Meng Zhou immediately selected the true form of the Imperial Sword Technique, wrapped it with his divine sense, and forcibly stuffed it into his qi and blood.
Watching it scatter little by little into the limbs and bones, and finally completely melt into the muscles and bones, Meng Zhou breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.
"I'm bored!"
Meng Zhou seemed to see that from the sea of knowledge, to the body, to the dantian, the portal that had only been briefly opened when the Great Realm had broken through was closing the last gap.
Meng Zhou didn't do anything more, and he didn't feel regretful.
Although he still doesn't know what the "Great Dao Seed" is, he is confident that he has made the most of this short window period.
The harvest has even exceeded his most optimistic expectations before the retreat, so he has nothing to be satisfied with.
Meng Zhou withdrew from the state of concentration with a satisfied emotion, and saw that the foundation building vision centered on his body and spreading out to the surroundings was slowly retreating.
Because the quality of the aura in the ashram had reached the quasi-third order, the rich aura was completely liquefied, and the foundation-building vision that was supposed to spread wantonly in the sky was condensed in the liquid aura.
Although it was inevitable that some of the aftermath had spread outside the ashram, the vast majority had been compressed into the ashram, and Meng Zhou was already very satisfied.
If he hadn't been able to cover it up, he wouldn't be able to do it.
After all, he's done his best, so what?
It didn't take long for the foundation building vision, which had begun to slowly dissipate from the periphery, to completely retract into the ashram.
Meng Zhou quietly compared in his heart, and breathed a sigh of relief again: "Looking at the speed of dissipation, the scope of the foundation building vision outside will not be too large.
Excluding those who failed to pass the level, among the monks who successfully built the foundation, they should be at the middle and lower level. ”
Meng Zhou retracted his thoughts and closed his eyes to feel.
With the infinite power of divine consciousness, it can shine like the sun, or it can disperse like light smoke, or sneak into the night with the wind, invading things silently.
The completely liquefied mana is surging like a river in the meridian dantian, and it can be struck at any time and anywhere.
After completing the transformation, the power of qi and blood is more subtle and delicate, scattering into the limbs and hundreds of remains.
It seems to be endless, but as long as he wants, this power can respond to his call at any time.
Like water gathering and scattering.
It can manifest "together" anywhere in the body, or "dissolve" and disappear anywhere.
But Meng Zhou, who closed his eyes and realized it carefully, did not focus on these changes.
What he was feeling was the change in this body at the level of the root bones.
From the musculoskeletal membrane to the dantian meridians.
Seem......
It's really a little different.
There's a more transparent feeling.
If he used to close his eyes and feel the world through this body, it was like looking at the world outside the window through the ground glass filled with water vapor.
Now, the water vapor is gone, and the frosted glass has become more crystal clear.
But in a short period of time, it was difficult for him to accurately grasp those changes.
He didn't have this idea either, and he did it just to confirm his feelings and collect first-hand information.
Confirming that the root bones of this body had indeed changed, Meng Zhou opened his eyes and directly checked the current state.
At first glance, Meng Zhou was shocked.
Compared to when practicing qi, this is simply a complete revision and upgrade.
……
[Name: Meng Zhou]

[Status: Energetic]
[Talents: Variety Spirit Body (Disabled), White Lotus Spirit Body (Disabled), Natural Sword Body (Disabled)]
[Realm: 0/1000 on the first floor of the foundation]

【Skills:
Grandmaster of Flying Hung: 330/960

[Oath: Rope Spirit 1st Order: 100/100]
[Occupation: pentathlon first-order limit (specific omitted)]
……
There are too many points worth paying attention to.
What Meng Zhou cares about the most is naturally the new [talent] item, and the talent constitution of three of which are all displayed as "crippled".
Except for the comprehension of the Innate Sword Body, as the name suggests, Meng Zhou didn't know anything about the other two "Hundred Variety Spirit Body" and "White Lotus Spirit Body".
This knowledge has long been beyond the scope of his access.
"It seems that after this time, we must make up for this knowledge." Meng Zhou thought so in his heart.
In addition to the new talent and the content in it, the second thing that Meng Zhou paid attention to was the change in longevity.
As the cultivation broke through from Qi cultivation to foundation building, the upper limit of life was doubled.
And because of the high base, this has just broken through the foundation building, and the life span has exceeded that of the vast majority of foundation building monks.
But for him, this is just the beginning.
As his cultivation improves, even if his growth will not be as exaggerated as when he broke through this great realm, his lifespan will inevitably increase.
For the current Meng Zhou, the biggest significance is that he is fifty-two years old and can barely be called middle-aged and old, and his life state has once again returned to the stage equivalent to that of a twenty-year-old youth.
If we think of a complete life as the whole process from sunrise to sunset, then its most dynamic stage is the first quarter, or even one-sixth of the process.
The so-called "rising sun" and "you are the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning".
The background color of its life is positive, high-spirited, and upward.
More than half of it, in terms of strength, it is indeed the most prosperous peak, but the so-called "peak" does not mean that in the future, it will get worse and worse, and it will go lower and lower.
There are many cultivators who have a persistent pursuit of the Great Dao in order to keep their life state at the time of "eight or nine o'clock sun".
This is the most fascinating and irresistible aspect of the practice.
The breakthrough of the great realm is not only the length of the rest of the life.
is still really against the rules of heaven and earth, turning back the clock of his life.
Turn back the sun that has passed through the middle of the sky to eight or nine o'clock, and return to the time of youth.
Because of this, Fang is "full of vitality".
Then there is the realm item, which also changes significantly, and the percentage progress bar becomes a thousandth ratio.
[Realm: 0/1000 on the first floor of the foundation]
Meng Zhou's first feeling was that the progress improvement after building the foundation was bound to be much slower than that of the Qi training stage.
Of course, there is no obstacle to not changing, but in that case, every time the cultivation progress is increased by +0.1 or even lower, that kind of dispensable sense of gain.
In the long run, it may also be an additional psychological burden.
……
Closing the information, Meng Zhou looked at the room in the quiet room that was so thick that it turned into water.
Now he can't wait to get out, and there are too many things he wants to do immediately.
But the current state of the ashram is obviously not allowed to go out.
"Gotta get it cleaned up as soon as possible...... I started to officially rush through the level on March 26th, and since the transformation of mana, I have basically blocked all interference from the outside world, and I don't know how long it has been. ”
If you want to restore this quiet room to its original appearance as soon as possible, it is not a matter of collecting the Spirit Gathering Rune Array.
If there were no Gathering Talisman Array and Shielding Talisman Array that circled around the house, it would be like a dam full of water suddenly disappearing, and the liquid aura condensed in the quiet room would inevitably flow away quickly.
Immediately the monk will notice the abnormality.
However, Meng Zhou also has a way.
He reoriented the rope spirits that circled the meditation room and formed forty-nine spirit gathering rune arrays and forty-eight shielding rune arrays, from gathering spirits in the quiet room to "gathering spirits" in all directions outside the quiet room.
At this time, the "Gathering Spirit Rune Array" has essentially become a "Scattered Spirit Rune Array", and its quality is not high enough, which is the original shortcoming, but it has the effect of a flow limiting valve.
Let the aura dispersed through the Spirit Gathering Array not run out too much at once.
Coupled with the shielding array of shields, after the aura spreads out, as long as there is a slight difference in concentration, it will quickly spread farther away, and it will not be enriched in one place.
It's like quietly pouring water into a pool of water through a hidden hole.
Unless they are caught, no one will know what happened.
"Now, there's just a matter of waiting."
After dealing with these, Meng Zhou finally sat back on the clean futon again.
While waiting for nothing, Meng Zhou's only pastime was to pay attention to the three powers of qi and blood, mana, and divine consciousness flowing over and over again in the three-pole cycle.
He had already verified that the fundamental method of the Qi cultivation period, the Water Nourishing Body Technique, had become useless as the cultivation broke through to the foundation building, and the Qi training mana transformed into the foundation building mana.
He couldn't even drive the foundation building mana to carry it every day, let alone refine the external aura into a new foundation building mana.
It's like a child pushing a cart, except that it feels unbearable, and the cart doesn't move at all.
The same is true for the White Bear Cold Extreme Body, which specializes in physical training, and it is no longer able to drive the improvement of physical qi and blood.
The unexpected joy is that when the three powers of mana, qi and blood, and divine consciousness circulate between the three poles, not only are they not consumed, but they will slowly draw out the spiritual energy from the outside world, and slowly recover and grow the power of mana, qi and blood, and divine consciousness to maintain the continuous flow of this cycle.
However, the efficiency is too slow to replace the role of the Fundamental Practice.
Finding the cultivation method of the foundation building period after leaving the customs is already the top priority listed by Meng Zhou in the first sequence.
Although Meng Zhou was already a little impatient in his heart, he could only wait in the quiet room for now, waiting for the aura that was so rich that it turned into water to be continuously drained out of the forty-nine Gathering Spirit Rune Arrays.
……
Outside.
Deacon Zhang, who received Meng Zhou that day, because of Meng Zhou's strange request before entering the ashram, coupled with the fact that he personally agreed, took on an extra layer of responsibility, so he paid more attention to the ashram where Meng Zhou was.
After the other monks took the Zhuji Dan, after a day or two of adjustments, they all began to serve the Dan and rush to the level.
Whether it was a success or a failure, the results were basically six or seven days after the auction ended on March 15.
But only Meng Zhou was in the quiet room, and there was no movement for ten days.
It seems that the whole building has begun to make new arrangements for the auction of treasures in a few days, that is, on March 30.
There was no movement in the quiet room where Meng Zhou was, and his heart was hanging in his throat little by little.
Fortunately, the other party finally did not break his promise.
In the middle of the night on March 26, a little bit of foundation building visions began to appear in the sky outside the ashram.
The scale of the foundation building vision can only be regarded as average, not comparable to the best, but not bad.
But there's something weird about it.
has been gentle, grinding and chirping, neither continuing to expand and grow, nor dissipating and declaring failure, just hanging in the sky so big and small.
On the whole day of March 27, the vision of building the foundation hung in the sky above the Hexin Tower.
Because of such a rare performance, it has attracted a lot of curious attention.
How can anyone who doesn't hurry up during the foundation building period, but grinds foreign workers there?
Deacon Zhang was slandered in his heart.
Fortunately, on the evening of March 27, the foundation building vision finally disappeared.
Looking at it like that, the other party finally succeeded in building the foundation.
Deacon Zhang also breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and waited for the other party to come out.
But waiting left and right, three days have passed, and the new auction is about to start, and people are already entering one after another, and the other party has not yet come out.
Deacon Zhang was angry.
Xindao, this guy won't be the second-order quiet room of Hexin Building after the foundation is successfully built, right?
That's not going to work!
Absolutely not!
Deacon Zhang was already thinking about whether to ask for instructions from above, and arranged for someone to forcibly "invite" the other party out of it.
But the other party is now a foundation building monk!
His heart was tormented, and at that moment, a voice came to his ears.
Listening to this voice, Deacon Zhang was like hearing a fairy sound.
It was the sound of the stone door of the ashram opening.
Meng Zhou strode out of it, looked at Deacon Zhang who was looking here not far away, and said with a smile: "Ah, I bother you to be so careful!" ”
As he spoke, he looked at the crowd queuing up at the Yongdao crossing, and smiled again: "It's better to come out early than to be lucky, I'm just in time for another auction!" ”
Meng Zhou strode towards the auction hall, leaving Deacon Zhang standing there with a resentful expression.
This plot is finished, and I don't know how to evaluate it.
If there are readers who feel that the subsequent plot is a little incomplete, they can refresh it, because I chose to upload it before twelve o'clock and added two or three hundred words.
