Liang Cheng had been sitting there since they left, pondering what the master had just taught, and had been sitting for more than an hour, but he didn't realize that it was evening, and the sky was gradually darkening. After a long time, Liang Cheng, who was sitting in the dark, took a long breath, slowly stood up, and said to himself: "I have finally deduced all the key points, there should be no problem." ”

Liang Cheng stood up and walked around a few times, thinking in his heart: "Since the master said that no one will come to disturb me during this period, why don't you go to Shi Meng's cave mansion to build a foundation." It's the perfect place to be spiritual. ”

The plan in his heart has been decided, so he walked to the painting, called Shi Meng out, and said his thoughts, Shi Mengxi said: "Okay, Brother Cheng is willing to come to me, welcome, but after the foundation is successful, don't forget to help my brother get out of trouble, if you succeed in building the foundation, it is not difficult to help me out of this big array." Liang Cheng said: "This is natural, with you by my side, help me eat nightmares, I can't ask for it." The two looked at each other and smiled, and the blue light flickered, and the quiet room was empty.

When they arrived in the cave, the two sat down in the hall, and Liang Cheng said: "It will take about ten days for me to build the foundation for this retreat, and if I succeed in building the foundation by luck, I will definitely help you get out of trouble." I don't know exactly what to do, and how you're trapped in this formation, can you tell me about the ins and outs of this?"

Shi Mengdao: "I have been sealed for a long time, and my mind was erased earlier, and I don't remember what the situation was. It's just that I was idle later, and I studied the formation outside, this formation seems to be extremely exquisite, and I don't understand it very well, but I just see that this formation contains a very powerful illusion when facing the enemy, and my role in this formation is probably to assist in the casting of illusions, but why arrange such a big formation in such a small broken place as the Infinite View, it is completely inexplicable, anyway, I have never seen outsiders break into this big array. As for how to help me get out of trouble, it is actually very simple, and it is also beneficial to you. Now you don't have to be distracted to think about this, first go to the spiritual spring to prepare to build the foundation, and this kind of thing that may occur in the process of building the foundation is that the demons will retaliate, and you can rest assured with me. ”

Liang Cheng saw that there was nothing wrong with thinking about it, so he got up and planned to go to the spiritual spring to retreat and build a foundation, when Shi Meng's face suddenly changed and said: "Someone broke into the formation!"

Liang Cheng was stunned, Shi Meng smiled: "I just said that no one has ever entered this big array, and there will be one soon, there is such a coincidence, let's go and see." After speaking, he couldn't help but say that he took Liang Cheng out of the cave and went out again.

When they arrived, the two walked out of the quiet room, and Liang Cheng saw a familiar figure standing at the gate of the courtyard from a distance, which turned out to be Ah Shen. It's just that Ah Shen's figure is very blurry, with his head bowed and his eyes closed, and he stands there swaying slightly like a ghost.

Shi Meng said in a low voice: "This person is a little familiar, it seems to be a person from the medicine garden, as long as he takes a few more steps, the phantom array will be urged." ”

Liang Cheng hurriedly shouted to Ah Shen: "Ah Shen, don't stand still!"

Ah Shen's body trembled, opened his eyes and saw Liang Cheng, and said, "Brother Cheng, is it you?"

"You must not move. Liang Cheng said as he asked Shi Meng, "Can you make the big array stop?"

"I'm afraid it won't work to stop, but I can take him into the cave and bring him over, but is this person reliable? The fewer people who know about the situation in my cave, the better, let's ask what is going on first. ”

Liang Cheng saw that Shi Meng was cautious, so he had no choice but to nod and say to Ah Shen: "Ah Shen, don't go forward, and then go to the demon subduing array in the view will be urged." Something happened, it doesn't seem right with your complexion. ”

Ah Shen raised his head and smiled miserably, and said: "It's not just that my complexion is wrong, I was originally the body of the medicine spirit, and this true body has been destroyed, only half of the spirit soul is left, and it will be wiped out soon." ”

"Who harmed you?" Uncle Shi has great powers, how could something happen to you in the medicine garden?" Liang Cheng was surprised.

"It's hard to say, and I can't talk about who hurt me, it's the owner himself who shot it. He saved me back then, and he had the grace to save my life, and now he wants to take my life into medicine and refine the 'Five Ginseng Pill', there is nothing wrong with it, this is the fate of our medicine spirit clan. ”

"Is it Uncle Shi who made the shot...... Liang Cheng was stunned.

"It turns out that you are the embodiment of the spirit ginseng, I know what is going on. Shi Meng whispered to Liang Cheng excitedly: "It seems that it's okay, I'll go and take him into the cave, but it just so happens that I can save him." ”

Shi Meng then cast a spell to bring Ah Shen and Liang Cheng to the cave mansion respectively, seeing that Ah Shen was already gray, in a trance, and his figure was getting darker and darker, he hurriedly took him to a garden.

Liang Cheng was very worried about Ah Shen's condition, and also followed into the garden. As soon as he entered, he smelled a very special smell, which seemed to be smelly and some like mold, Liang Cheng looked at the ground, the garden was full of black particle-like soil, and the smell seemed to be emanating from the ground.

Ah Shen smelled this smell, his spirit was a little better, he struggled to stand still, nodded to Liang Cheng, and turned into his true form before he could say anything.

It turned out that he was a golden ginseng about two feet long, with many roots, golden skin, a very humanoid shape, and even his facial features were faintly visible, and there was a stalk about a foot long on his head, which was divided into three clusters of leaves, each with five blue-green leaves of different sizes. At the top of the stalk there is a small cluster of fiery red fruit, which is very eye-catching. It's just that the whole ginseng is a little translucent, which looks very illusory.

I saw that the ginseng squirmed slightly, and soon burrowed into the soil, revealing only the leaves and fruits.

Shi Meng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's okay now, even if this Ah Shen is lucky to meet me, this land is not trivial, it is called 'Xuanhei Soil', it was originally used by the true immortals of the fairy world to grow elixir and spiritual grass, as long as the grass and tree spirits in our mortal world, as long as the soul is not scattered on the spot, there is a wisp of spirit left, you can slowly recover your vitality here, re-emit branches and leaves, and restore your original appearance is nothing more than a matter of time." ”

"How's the situation with Ah Shen?" asked Liang Cheng.

"He is a golden spirit ginseng that has been transformed, and this time only half of the spirit soul is left. If you want to restore your appearance as much as possible, it is not surprising that it will take decades or even hundreds of years if there are no other opportunities. But after a few months of recuperation, the true body will slowly grow, and after a few months, it is possible for the spirit to come out and move freely for a few hours a day. ”

"Well, in that case, let him recuperate here first, and talk about anything until he recovers a little. ”

Shi Meng naturally had no objections, so the two left the garden together, and then Liang Cheng himself came to the spiritual spring, retreated and breathed, and began to build the foundation.

Liang Cheng breathed for a long time, waited until his body and mind were in the best state, and then took out the "Pei Yuan Dan" given by the master and took it.

At this time, Liang Cheng used the method of internal vision, carefully checked the changes in his body, and saw that the spiritual energy in the dantian was surging, hovering and circling. Seeing this, Liang Cheng picked up the exercises and began to compress the aura in his body, so slowly, it took about three days, and the aura in the dantian finally slowly showed signs of liquefaction, and a drop of spiritual liquid slowly dripped down, slowly forming a small spiritual pool, and at the same time, a small point of light appeared in the center of the spiritual pool, which was dim at first, but gradually brightened with the liquefaction of the spiritual energy in the body. Liang Cheng was happy in his heart, knowing that this was the aura that was slowly condensing into the shape of lotus seeds, and when the lotus seeds were fully developed and stabilized, the foundation would be completed.

This process is very slow, and it consumes a lot of energy, the body is gradually drenched in sweat, and some gray-black ointment-like substances are discharged from the pores, and there is a foul smell of stickiness. On the fourth day, Liang Cheng was already very tired, so he stopped, meditated and breathed, and breathed in the spiritual energy beside the spiritual spring. Master has said many times that Liang Cheng understands this truth, so he is naturally not impatient and slowly accumulates strength.

The spiritual spring in this cave was really extraordinary, and after breathing for a few hours, Liang Cheng felt full of strength again, and the surging spiritual breath swam in the meridians of the whole body, gradually gathering in the dantian. In this way, Liang Cheng either rushed through the level with his luck, or meditated and rested, alternately, and the time passed slowly before he knew it.

On the ninth day of Liang Cheng's retreat, he suddenly let out a long howl involuntarily, and suddenly felt that his limbs were hundreds, and his aura was agitated, and he was busy looking at the dantian, only to see that most of the spiritual energy in the dantian was condensed into liquid, and the spiritual pool formed by gathering together had been significantly expanded, and there was a glowing lotus seed-like core in the spiritual pool, but this thing was very small, not as big as a quarter of the real lotus seed.

At this time, Liang Cheng was sweating like pulp, but this time there was no longer that black substance in the sweat, and at the same time, the trickle of spiritual breath in his body quickly circulated in the veins of his body, and in a short time, he swam away for a few days. Every time he traveled for a week, Liang Cheng had an indescribable feeling of comfort, and at this time, the spiritual power in his body was several times higher than the realm of the thirteenth layer of the previous Qi cultivation period. Liang Cheng was overjoyed in his heart, knowing that he must have succeeded in building the foundation.

It took another two days to consolidate the realm, and Liang Cheng finally switched out. As soon as he came out, he saw Shi Meng standing at the door with a smile on his face, looking himself up and down a few times, and then congratulated: "Congratulations to Brother Cheng on his success!"

Liang Cheng smiled and nodded, and he also looked up and down all over his body, only to see spots everywhere, and his skin was covered with black stains, dirty like a mud monkey, Liang Cheng has always liked to be neat, and suddenly felt unbearable, and said: "Oh, I have to go out to take a shower, it's really dirty." ”

Shi Meng smiled: "You human beings are like this after successfully building the foundation, it's really interesting, you should take a good bath." But you don't have to go out, there is a stream outside my cave, Brother Cheng, you can go there, come to the hall to find me when you get it, there are a lot of things, you and I have to talk about it. ”

Liang Cheng hurriedly walked out of the cave while agreeing, walked a few steps along the woods on the edge of the small valley to the stream, took off his clothes and jumped into the water, and took a bath carefully.

After washing his whole body, Liang Cheng was open-minded, and then washed his clothes and dried them on the tree. After all, it is the nature of a teenager, Liang Cheng soaked in the water and didn't want to get up, played for a long time, and thought: "Shi Meng's cave is really good, there are mountains and waters, I don't know how big it is, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant." But why are there no fish in this water?"

Liang Cheng had fun for a long time, then he got up and put on his clothes, gently transported his mana, and his whole body suddenly steamed, and he dried his clothes after a while. Then he returned to the cave and entered the hall, where Shi Meng was waiting for him.

Liang Cheng sat down lightly and waited for Shi Meng to speak, since the foundation building was successful, the next step was naturally to fulfill his promise and help him get out of the control of the Great Array.

Sure enough, Shi Meng opened his mouth and said: "Brother Cheng, if you want me to get out of the big array, there is only one way at present, that is, you want to use this space treasure and drip blood to recognize the master, and I, as the instrument spirit of this treasure, can leave the big array with you." It's just that in this way, although I can leave the big array, I have become a tool spirit controlled by you, and in your thoughts, I may just leave the tiger's mouth, enter Longtan again, and make a chicken and egg fight, and lose both people and money. The gains and losses in the middle are really hard to think about, so I have been thinking about it for a long time and want to make a two-benefit agreement with you. ”

"Then what kind of agreement do you want?" replied Liang Cheng.

"What I need is a promise, you are now a foundation building period monk, I can be your contract spirit animal, follow you around, and listen to your dispatch. But I also have three conditions, first, this agreement will last for 300 years, and after 300 years, it is up to me to decide whether to leave or stay, and if I decide to leave, you must not stop it, and you must lift the prohibition on confessing to my lord. Second, if I have a strong opponent against others, I can refuse to fight. Third, you have to help me find the cultivation methods of the Phantom Tapir Clan and try to provide me with the materials I need for cultivation, the elixir. ”

"About three hundred years!" Liang Cheng was a little stunned.

Shi Meng smiled: "Why, don't you know? As long as the monks who build the foundation don't die in an accident, the longevity can easily exceed three hundred years, and with the gradual improvement of the cultivation realm, the longer the longevity will be." ”

"I see. Liang Cheng was very happy when he found out, and then carefully considered these three conditions, and said: "These conditions are very reasonable, I can accept them, but although I have successfully built the foundation, I will immediately embark on the path of an immortal cultivator in the future, and I don't have an opinion yet." As for helping you find cultivation exercises and pills, I'm in a dark eye right now, and I don't know how to do it, but as long as I have the ability, I will definitely do my best. ”

Shi Meng said with a smile: "Hehe, it's good to agree, with your qualifications, you must be a core disciple in any sect, the road to cultivation will definitely be very smooth, and you don't have to worry about the pill materials or anything, as for the exercises, I have some clues, and I am not in a hurry." And I've never heard of anyone who has succeeded in building a foundation and who has given up the path of cultivating the truth, and there is no turning back when he opens his bow. All I have to ask you now is to swear an oath to your demons, and I can tell you how to confess the Lord with blood. ”

It turns out that this kind of oath to one's own inner demon is the most reliable constraint for cultivators, if anyone violates the oath they have made, it is nothing at the low level, and the more they cultivate to the high level, the more powerful the inner demon will become, and in the end, they will often ruin their own path of cultivation because the inner demon is difficult to restrain themselves. Liang Cheng had also heard about this situation, so he solemnly made an oath in accordance with Shi Meng's request.
