Chapter 20: Building the Foundation
In the next few days, there was a kind of stalemate between Lin Xi and the Son of Heaven.
The taste of strong confrontation could not be more obvious.
Thanks to this, many people jumped out and said good things for Lin Xi.
Then he went to Lin Xi to lobby.
A prime minister who has a considerable amount of power, but is dissatisfied with the emperor, can satisfy the political needs of many people.
And it was in their interests to lock Lin Xi in Yong'an City and not let him return to the southern border city of Shannan to preside over the overall situation.
The word balance exists in every corner of the right.
It's not just the Son of Heaven who is qualified to play with balance.
He is just a relatively large weight on the scale.
After a stalemate of four days, Lin Xi still entered the city.
As a compromise, the tigers and leopards grazing in the mountains and forests outside the city did not enter the city.
Someone is fed blood food at a fixed time every day.
But the barbarian warriors did not undress or surrender their weapons.
The prime minister's mansion in the city is still there.
Lin Xi heard that the Son of Heaven had re-bestowed Wen Yuanxiang's old mansion in Yong'an City to a close minister who was good at slapping horses.
But now, that close minister was imprisoned for corrupting the law and disregarding people's lives.
The mansion was empty again, waiting for its former owner to move in again.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lin Xi also met Wen Yuanxiang's family.
The three sons are just honest people, not enterprising enough, and barely defending Chengdu.
There are also two daughters who have long been married.
There are many grandchildren, about twenty of them, and Lin Xi has not found a complete list in Wen Yuanxiang's memory, and then he is seated.
Obviously, this old man, who is dedicated to the public and even does not hesitate to exchange his soul for the community, is not very concerned about his family affairs.
What relieved Lin Xi was that Wen Yuanxiang's wife had already gone.
The concubines in a few rooms who are already old and decrepit don't have to care, just leave them alone.
Although after regaining his body, no matter which body Lin Xi had, the sword never opened.
But he didn't care about this kind of thing.
Maybe after being reincarnated as a heavenly demon, this kind of 'distracting thoughts' that belong to the mortal flesh can no longer affect and interfere with him!
This will make him stronger!
In the study, Lin Xi was under the lamp, watching the classics sent from Lantai, as well as some old recitals that had been reviewed and annotated.
Wen Yuanxiang's memory, although there is a lot of content that can be read.
But after all, he has been away from the center for a while, and his grasp of the current situation is no longer keen.
What's more, those memories are full of Wen Yuanxiang's own understanding.
Lin Xi had long known that the memories of the Soul Reavers were not so reliable.
Crunch!
The door to the study was gently pushed open.
A girl with a goose egg face, fleshy, and two small dimples when she laughed, rolled her big eyes, and slipped in lively, carrying a lunch box in her hand.
Looking at the girl's clever appearance, Lin Xi smiled kindly, and then beckoned: "Nuo Nuo is here?"
The girl is the second daughter of Wen Yuanxiang's eldest son, and now of course she can be regarded as Lin Xi's granddaughter.
Wen Nuo carried the lunch box, light as a fawn, ran to Lin Xi's side, and hugged Lin Xi's neck.
This made Lin Xi a little unnatural.
However, it belongs to Wen Yuanxiang's body memory, and he is obviously familiar with this kind of contact.
As long as you immerse 'yourself' into Wen Yuanxiang's memory and substitute his emotions, all the awkwardness will disappear.
At the same time, it will also make Lin Xi feel more like a person.
But he also had to remind himself not to indulge in this feeling of total immersion.
What Lin Xi was experiencing was something that all the Heavenly Demons couldn't understand and perceive.
Generally speaking, Heavenly Demons who have not reached a certain level have no chance to dive into the material realm, let alone escape into the souls of some people to feel the feelings of 'people'.
And when they reached the corresponding level of Heavenly Demons, their will and thinking were strong and firm, and they already possessed otherworldly power.
Not to be fooled by the memories of mortals.
Blocked by mortal emotions.
"Grandpa, it's good that you're back!" the girl leaned her head on Lin Xi's shoulder coquettishly, and her bright big eyes were full of sadness for a moment.
Lin Xi smiled and said, "Your master, have you come to you again recently?"
Wen Nuo is the only practitioner of the Wen family.
Past··· She also shoulders the responsibility of protecting Wen Yuanxiang.
Wen Nuo's master is very mysterious, and it seems that he is not a wandering cultivator, but from a large sect.
This can be seen from the fact that Wen Nuo never lacked cultivation resources.
It's just that for some reason, Wen Nuo's master never took her into the sect to practice, but only privately accepted her as a disciple and taught her carefully.
The girl nodded and said: "Master has been coming, but the latest ones are only her water spirit clones, I heard from the master, her body is in the depths of the big crack in the ancient ice field, looking for a magic weapon embryo suitable for building a foundation for Nuo Nuo." ”
Foundation building is a process of true qi breaking through to true yuan, and it is also the beginning of truly entering the threshold of cultivation.
And the foundation building in this material world is also divided into the most ordinary spiritual qi foundation, the spirit pill foundation and the spirit treasure foundation.
As the name suggests, the foundation building of spiritual energy is to pour a large amount of spiritual energy into the body, and then use its own strength to form a strong pressure to liquefy the true qi, transform the true qi into the true element, and cast the foundation of cultivation.
Almost ninety percent of cultivators choose this way to build their foundations.
And the elixir will be one level higher, and some elixirs have the power to break the limit.
It is possible to temporarily raise the skill of a cultivator who swallows the elixir by one or two percent, or even three or four percent, simulating the effect of surpassing the ordinary level of qi cultivation and casting a more perfect Dao foundation.
As for the Lingbao foundation, it is the most extravagant.
Monks who need at least the Jindan stage use natural treasures of not low quality, and spend great effort to cast magic weapon embryos.
Then the embryo of the magic weapon is implanted into the body of the cultivator who is about to break through the Qi cultivation and enter the body of the foundation building.
Allowing the magic weapon to coordinate and advance with the cultivator's own nascent true element can not only obtain a higher quality true element, but also allow the cultivator in the foundation building period to master some extraordinary powers in advance and get close to supernatural powers.
You can also borrow the power of magic weapons to attack or defend.
Usually, even in a large sect, an elder with Jindan stage cultivation is probably only willing to cast a foundation building magic weapon for a descendant who has a very close blood relationship, or a disciple of the mantle.
Wen Nuo's master, who is willing to spend time and energy to do this for her, obviously values it very much.
"Speaking of which, it's time for me to break through the foundation, although what I'm going to do now doesn't depend very much on the cultivation of the so-called monks. But with a certain degree of cultivation and some corresponding means, it is more reliable and safe. After all... Even if it's a barbarian, it's not completely trustworthy. Even if they were deceived by me at first, they should have reflected it now. The reason why they continue to work with me is simply because I can continue to bring benefits to them. Lin Xi couldn't help but think of himself at this moment.
His mind has always been clear, and he has not been paralyzed by short-term successes and has become careless.
He seems to have a lot of chips.
But the components of the chips in his hand are still too single.
As long as someone can replace him, gain the support of most of the barbarians, and become a new link of communication.
Then he will immediately lose all his 'power'.
This is actually very dangerous.
Therefore, after obtaining the rights in Yong'an City, the first thing Lin Xi should do is not to urgently fulfill Wen Yuanxiang's wish, but to obtain the 'power' of another channel first.
After all, walking on two legs is smooth.
No matter how thick a leg is, it will inevitably stumble over it.
"Okay! Remember to learn from your master, don't worry about things at home, there is a grandfather at home. Lin Xi touched the girl's head, and then said.
The girl put down the food box and persuaded Lin Xi a few more words to let Lin Xi rest early.
Then disappeared into the study.
In the dead of night, Lin Xi said to the chickadee who had been lying in the corner of the study, seemingly sleeping: "Titfuck! Look at the door, no matter who it is, I am not allowed to come in until I wake up." ”
"Okay, yes!" The wasn't asleep, he just looked like he was asleep.
After commanding the, Lin Xi turned into the inner room.
Then I found a futon and sat cross-legged on it.
A lot of negative emotions are ignited.
A massive amount of yin and evil aura, like a tide, surged towards Lin Xi.
Before breaking through, Lin Xi first had to use his aura to strengthen Wen Yuanxiang's physical body for another round.
"It's a pity that the cultivation method of the barbarian race is not suitable for ordinary people, otherwise if I can learn, Wen Yuanxiang's body will not be fragile like this, every time I improve my cultivation, I must pay attention to it first, so as not to damage his body. This thought flashed through Lin Xi's mind.
Then Lin Xi paid more attention to letting part of the true qi, wrapped in spiritual energy, protect the hundred veins in his body.
When it was felt that the meridians were enough to resist the impact when the true qi was compressed into the true element, more yin and evil aura was introduced into the body.
In an instant, on top of Lin Xi's head, a gap in the aura collapsed.
A large amount of Yin Evil Spiritual Qi was triggered, and then in the body, a 'tornado' blew up.
In the dantian, the real qi is restless, and the meaning of mania begins to rise inexplicably.
But he was essentially the eye demon clone of Lin Xi, and directly digested these manic meanings.
This is the instinctive feedback caused by the transformation of the true qi of the yin and evil aura when it is compressed.
If it is absorbed like the purple qi of the early morning, or the true qi transformed by the positive aura, when compressed, more of a warm current and mild meaning are formed.
Under the irrigation of a large amount of yin and evil aura.
In the dantian, the first drop of true yuan was finally born.
Then there were more and more true elements.
Gradually, a liquid disc with a black color and a crystalline texture was formed.
At this moment, Lin Xi's cultivation foundation with Wen Yuanxiang's body has been completed.
Although it is the most ordinary aura foundation, the quality of the Dao foundation is also very average.
After all, Wen Yuanxiang's qualifications and age are here, and the ability to successfully build a foundation is also due to the particularity of Lin Xi's nature.
