Chapter 128: Building the Foundation

In the early morning of the second day, Jiang Jianqiu and Ling Shengxue began to clean the entire inner courtyard of the Huaishan Sect. There are hundreds of houses in this Huaishan faction, but fortunately, there are precepts for cleanliness and self-improvement in the door, so the environment everywhere is maintained well on weekdays. The two of them cleaned the room one by one, most of them just wiped the tables and chairs, swept the floor, and completely cleaned the inner courtyard of Huaishan in less than three days.

Jiang Jianqiu's words were naturally gushing endlessly, telling Ling Shengxue all kinds of interesting anecdotes about the Huaishan Sect. For example, Senior Brother Wan has a father in Jindanjing who is a big official in the court, Senior Brother Han usually likes to recite poems on the back mountain, and Senior Brother Lu often steals food by himself when cooking.

He is lively and active on weekdays, up and down this Huai Mountain, except for the apse where the master meditates, he has basically touched it all over, although he has only been to this Huai Mountain for a year, but it seems to be a jack of all trades.

Ling Shengxue listened quietly, occasionally asking a question or two, she was actually not interested in these messy rumors, but she had been lonely in the Ice Palace for a long time, and now that someone was by her side to talk to her all the time, she was still very happy.

The other disciples saw Jiang Jianqiu and Ling Shengxue being punished and cleaned together, and they often came over to laugh and talk, and everyone said that the new junior sister was taken by Jiang Jianqiu. In response to this, Ling Shengxue explained in a serious way that the reason for the punishment was herself, but Jiang Jianqiu was much more direct, picking up the broom and slapping it directly.

After the inner courtyard is swept, the next mountain road will be much more troublesome, this mountain road stretches for more than 20 miles, and it takes half a day to walk, and the cleaning is naturally slower. Fortunately, Ling Nanzi was considerate, and on the first day, he took them to the foot of the mountain and flew upside down, and they swept up from the bottom of the mountain, so that he didn't have a lot of time to walk back.

Before leaving, Ling Nanzi handed a bag of spirit crystals to Ling Shengxue, asking her to bless and repair those formations along the road, Ling Shengxue nodded and agreed.

The two of them swept all the way and stopped, and when Ling Shengxue strengthened the formation, Jiang Jianqiu ran to the woods on the side, and found some glowing phosphorite out of nowhere and placed them in the middle of the clearing, so that even at night, pedestrians could see the light of this resting place from a distance, and their hearts were more comforted when they walked.

On the first day, the two of them were busy until the evening, clearing almost a mile away. The next day, they walked to the position they had cleared the day before and continued to sweep the fallen leaves along the road to reinforce the formation. In this way, it took three days to clean the entire bluestone road in front of Huaishan Mountain. In the past few days, the two children are also tired, with sore backs and legs, and their bodies are falling apart. When Wan Qing saw these two dusty dolls, he couldn't help but laugh.

"The two of you have completed the task assigned by Master ahead of schedule, and you have worked hard. Wan Qing said with a smile, and then he said to Ling Shengxue, "Senior Sister Ling, Master asked you to go to the apse, and he will do one last time for you to dispel the cold." From tomorrow, you will be able to attend the morning class with everyone and start practicing. ”

"Okay, thank you, senior brother!" Ling Shengxue looked at Wan Qing with a pair of bright eyes and nodded.

After a few days of physical labor, although Ling Shengxue felt very tired, her body was obviously much stronger than before, and after a few days in the sun, her face was no longer so pale, and her whole person looked a lot healthier, and she was no longer the "sick" little sister in Jiang Jianqiu's mouth.

On the morning of the second day, when she came to Zhan Tiantai, the senior brothers all greeted the little junior sister with a smile, and everyone left a place for her in the front. After Ling Shengxue greeted everyone one by one, her eyes intentionally or unintentionally swept over an empty futon on the side, which should be Jiang Jianqiu's position, this Senior Brother Jiang, he skipped class again on the first day after the punishment, it seems that he is really dead, the corners of Ling Shengxue's mouth turned up slightly.

It seemed like a smile.

A month later, the Huaishan faction made a sensation. Ling Shengxue, the youngest junior sister of the Huaishan Sect, has been in the door for two months, and the cultivation time is only one month, and the foundation building has been successful! This kind of talent, even if you look at the entire Central Continent, is also unique for a while.

Even after Ling Nanzi heard the news, he nodded with a smile and said, "Sheng Xue, this kid has a deep immortal fate, and he will achieve extraordinary achievements in the future. ”

All of a sudden, Ling Shengxue became the brightest star on this Huai Mountain, and there were always people talking around her everywhere she went, just like the stars holding the moon. And Ling Shengxue's eyes always inadvertently crossed the people around her, looking into the distance, as if looking for something.

At the same time, another record on Huai Mountain was also broken. Jiang Jianqiu went up the mountain to practice for fourteen months, but he still couldn't attract the spirit into his body and couldn't build a foundation.

However, Jiang Jianqiu himself seems to be indifferent to these, he still skips class and plays every day, and lives a life of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days.

On the afternoon of this day, Ling Shengxue hurriedly walked by with a book in her arms, and when she passed by the academy, she found that the second senior brother was standing there, reprimanding with a calm face, and opposite him, Jiang Jianqiu, who was smiling, stood against the wall, occasionally opening his mouth to explain a sentence or two.

Ling Shengxue walked over and asked a person next to him, "Senior Brother, what is Senior Brother Han doing?"

As soon as the man saw Ling Shengxue, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Senior Sister Ling, when I was in the evening class today, Senior Brother Jiang fell asleep in class, and when Senior Brother Han taught him, he made a few jokes, Senior Brother Han is a serious person, and now he is a little angry, and it is estimated that he will be trained for a long time." ”

Ling Shengxue nodded after hearing this, and said, "I see, thank you, senior brother." With that, she turned around and hurried away with the book in her arms.

The disciple stood in place, suddenly remembering the name of the book in Ling Shengxue's arms that he had accidentally seen just now, scratching his head and saying suspiciously: ""Outline of Foundation Building, hasn't Senior Sister Ling already succeeded in building the foundation, why do you still need to read this kind of book?"

In the evening, Ling Shengxue sat in his room, using the dim candle flame to carefully read the foundation building compendium in his hand.

"Observe the aura of heaven and earth, lead it to absorb it into the body, circulate back and forth, and repeat the cycle. When the aura around the body is full and the breath in the meridians is surging, you can build a successful foundation and step into the immortal path. ”

These are no different from what Senior Brother Wan said at the beginning, they all mean the same thing, Ling Shengxue nodded and continued to look down.

"Those who possess supernatural abilities, such as the Heavenly Eye, the Five Elements Rebirth, Perception, etc., are more blessed by Heaven when building the foundation, and are more blessed by Heaven than ordinary people. ”

Ling Shengxue gently closed the book, frowning and pondering: "Strange, Senior Brother Jiang obviously has a talent for perception, and it should be easier than ordinary people to build a foundation for success, why can't he advance for a long time?"
