Chapter 40: The Problem of Building a Foundation

The shopkeeper nodded, "So when building a foundation, you need to choose a place with abundant spiritual energy, and it is best to arrange a spiritual gathering array, which can continuously provide sufficient spiritual energy!"

"Why don't you just absorb the aura in the spirit stone?" Zhang Hao asked curiously.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "Don't you know?"

"I don't know what?" Zhang Hao really doesn't know!

"Fellow Daoists, you can crush a piece of lower grade spirit stone to try. The shopkeeper replied.

The spirit stones on Zhang Hao's body were all consumed, so he took out another talisman and handed it over.

The shopkeeper took it and looked at it, then handed Zhang Hao five lower-grade spirit stones.

Zhang Hao crushed a low-grade spirit stone with all his might, and saw that the spiritual energy inside the spirit stone slowly fell.

The shopkeeper asked, "What did you see?"

Zhang Hao shook his head, and the aura just fell.

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "When Daoist friends are pharming, they absorb the spiritual energy that is free between heaven and earth, and these spiritual qi will not fall, and will even float upward. ”

"So what?" Zhang Hao still didn't understand.

The shopkeeper said directly: "Because the aura in the spirit stone has impurities, it is not as pure as the aura that is free between heaven and earth. ”

Zhang Hao nodded, slandering the shopkeeper in his heart: Didn't you say that earlier, it would be over!

Isn't it just that the turbidity is sinking and the clear air is rising, Zhang Hao still understands this truth.

"And then?" Zhang Hao asked again.

The shopkeeper continued: "Therefore, the aura in the spirit stone cannot be inhaled into the body, because the impurities in the aura will cause damage to the body, especially the meridians in the body! ”

Zhang Hao frowned, no wonder every time he used the spirit stone to cultivate, the meridians would swell and ache, it turned out that there were impurities in it!

The shopkeeper continued: "Most of the places with abundant spiritual energy are occupied by sect forces, and the Spirit Gathering Array is not something that can be arranged by casual cultivation, so this has become the first problem in building the foundation!"

Zhang Hao thought about it, this is indeed a problem, if it is a disciple of the sect, it is better. But he had long been abandoned by the Danding Sect! Now it is a loose cultivator!

"The second question: to absorb so much aura, it will inevitably cause a heavy burden on the meridians! Therefore, before building a foundation, it is necessary to strengthen the meridians, use pills or medicinal baths, or practice certain exercises, which will require a lot of spirit stones!" said the shopkeeper slowly.

Zhang Hao didn't have to worry about this problem, because the thirteenth layer of Qi cultivation needed to constantly "cultivate" the meridian channel, which was actually strengthening the meridians.

It is equivalent to what the shopkeeper said about practicing certain exercises to strengthen the meridians!

The shopkeeper paused for a while, waiting for Zhang Hao to ask about the elixirs and medicinal baths that strengthened the meridians, so he could take the opportunity to sell them.

Zhang Hao urged: "What about the third question?"

The shopkeeper sighed secretly, he saw that Zhang Hao didn't need it, this was a lot of income.

"The third question: the choice of the foundation building exercise! Whether the cyclone can be smoothly integrated into the immortal root is determined by the exercise. Good exercises can make the cyclone easily integrate into the immortal roots, thus greatly reducing the difficulty of building a foundation! On the contrary, a bad exercise is increasing the difficulty of building a foundation! Of course, this process can also be assisted by using pills, but the effect of pills is not very large, at most two percent! It mainly depends on the exercises!" The shopkeeper paused again.

Zhang Hao asked: "What is a good exercise? What is a bad exercise? Isn't that a bit too general!"

The shopkeeper shook his head, "It's because the quality of the exercises depends on the Daoist friends themselves to comprehend them! I wonder if Daoist friends need good foundation building exercises?"

Zhang Hao waved his hand, "Let's make the problem of building the foundation clear first!"

The shopkeeper continued: "In addition, the exercises will determine the spiritual power attributes after foundation building!

As he spoke, the shopkeeper began to sell the exercises again.

"What is spiritual power, and what is the difference between it and aura?" Zhang Hao skipped the question of the exercises.

"Spiritual power is transformed from spiritual energy, and it is a matter of cultivation after the foundation is successfully built, if you understand this problem, please pay ten lower-grade spirit stones!" the shopkeeper smiled lightly.

So Zhang Hao skipped the question of aura and spiritual power again, and asked again, "What is the attribute of aura?"

The shopkeeper smiled even more happily, "This is another question, please pay ten lower grade spirit stones!"

Well, the more questions are asked!Zhang Hao decided to return to the topic, "What about the fourth question?"

The shopkeeper was not in a hurry, and then replied: "The fourth problem: After all the cyclones have been integrated into the immortal roots, the immortal roots have not been able to transform for a long time! This is the key to the fact that the miscellaneous immortal roots cannot build a foundation!"

"Are you saying that miscellaneous immortal roots can't be transformed?" Zhang Hao asked with a frown.

The shopkeeper nodded, "As for why the miscellaneous immortal roots can't be transformed, no one can say clearly, after all, why there are immortal roots can't be explained!

Zhang Hao didn't ask anything, because the immortal root was a question he couldn't get around.

The shopkeeper waited for a while, he thought Zhang Hao was thinking about something.

After a while, Zhang Hao said, "Please continue!"

The shopkeeper then said: "Even the five-grade immortal root can't complete the transformation most of the time, and at this time, the genius earth treasure is needed to nourish the immortal root and promote the transformation of the immortal root." And most of the so-called genius earth treasures are thousands of years old medium-grade elixirs, and it is very difficult to get them!"

Zhang Hao looked at the shopkeeper again.

The shopkeeper smiled, "If you solve these four problems, you can successfully build the foundation! As for the foundation, there are other problems involved, so ......"

Zhang Hao didn't pick up the shop owner, but he had a clearer understanding of the foundation, and the next step was to solve these problems one by one.

But the core problem: I don't have a fairy root!

So Zhang Hao then asked, "Is there any way to let people who don't have immortal roots have immortal roots?"

The shopkeeper was directly stunned by the question, not because the question was difficult, but because the question was very ...... Idiot!

"There are always immortal cultivators who have tried for some of their relatives, right?" Zhang Hao assumed.

The shopkeeper shook his head, "How can I, a small Fang City shopkeeper, know about those immortal cultivators! I can't answer this question, so I won't charge your spirit stones." ”

"Would it be possible if I took the immortal medicine?" Zhang Hao assumed again.

The shopkeeper didn't smile bitterly: "Even if a mortal has a great fortune to eat the immortal medicine, he will only be directly exploded by the immortal medicine! The immortal medicine is not something that mortals can digest!"

That's just as well!

But he is not a mortal, and he is also an immortal cultivator who has opened up three Qi Sea Dantians.

This is a backup way to obtain the fairy root!

Or back to the first question:

Whether you want to join the sect forces, so as to have a place with abundant spiritual energy to build a foundation. Zhang Hao was a little hesitant and hadn't thought about it yet.

Zhang Hao asked, "Do you have a Spirit Gathering Array here?"

The shopkeeper immediately smiled and said, "I have a way to arrange the Spirit Gathering Array here, which is ......"

"What price?" Zhang Hao asked directly.

"Twenty low-grade spirit stones at a fixed price!" the shopkeeper shouted.

Zhang Hao didn't bargain, took out four more talismans and handed them over.

The shopkeeper smiled and took the talisman and looked at it, then took a jade slip and handed it to Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao took the jade slip and pressed it on his forehead, accepted the mystery inside, and at the same time used the comprehension +1 attribute to collect it, and a line of text inexplicably appeared in his mind: In the comprehension of "Gathering Spirit Array", 1/10, only 10 progress is needed.

And then there's the second question:

This problem is easy to solve, just continue to use the spirit stone to "cultivate" the meridian channel according to the mysteries in the "Haotian Sect's Thirteen Layers of Qi Cultivation Extension Exercises".

But it takes a lot of spirit stones!

It seems that it is necessary to find another spirit stone waste mine!

Here's the third question:

Zhang Hao thought of the "First Part of the Magic Book of Bliss" that he had already comprehended, and there was a part of the foundation building period in it, but this exercise had great flaws, and it was too exclusive to be compatible!

Zhang Hao asked, "Do you have the follow-up exercises for the Danshu Outer Dao Qi Cultivation Chapter?"
