Chapter 13: Building the Foundation
At dawn, the first ray of morning light shone on the square platform, and Nutian was showered in the sun, did not open his eyes as usual, looking at the rising sun, because he would usher in a new sunrise, abandoning the old mundane. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After three consecutive days of penance, Nu Tian finally refined that breath and raised his cultivation to the edge of foundation building. If it weren't for the shred of sanity that still remained, Nu Tian would have been eager to build a foundation immediately and become a true cultivator. But he knew that because he relied on Fangzhengtai to cultivate, his foundation was not thick after all, and for the sake of the future, it was better to build a foundation as late as possible. However, everything may not be as good as it should be, and at this moment, he can't suppress his cultivation no matter what, and he is about to hit the foundation building barrier!
Reciting the "Song of Righteous Qi" over and over again, using the newly learned refining method to refine the Haoran True Qi in the body repeatedly, regardless of whether it was effective or not. But there were more and more true qi pouring into his body, and what was even worse was that these true qi entering his body were also becoming more and more refined, and in this case, it became even more difficult for him to suppress his cultivation!
"Ahh A small vortex suddenly appeared on the Founder Stage, and more and more Haoran True Qi gathered on Nu Tian's body, and occasionally one or two traces of agile aura also rushed into the vortex......
"Someone has built a foundation!" The students on the Founder Platform couldn't help but raise their heads and look in the direction where Nu Tian was.
"Hey, this momentum is a bit too much!" Many students immediately noticed the anomaly.
"This kid is really lucky, he fused the spiritual Haoran True Qi before the foundation was built!" Although many people didn't know what was going on, many people who knew the reason cast envious or jealous glances.
Every inch of the skin of the body was moaning in front of Haoran True Qi, seeing that the body was about to reach the limit of bearing, there was a sudden "boom" in Nu Tian's mind, as if something had burst open, and then a magical fluctuation quickly spread throughout the body, and the Haoran True Qi in the body instantly became obedient, and slowly fluctuated with that magical fluctuation. Nu Tian also entered a mysterious state at that moment, and unconsciously cultivated in the realm of forgetting things and self.
Haoran True Qi is very special, it is not known for its richness, but the purer the better. The most special thing is that with just a trace of pure true qi, it can produce an endless amount of Haoran true qi, which can almost be said to be inexhaustible - the reason why Fangzheng Tai is known as the first treasure of the academy is because it has a trace of the purest Haoran true qi. For those who practice Haoran True Qi, foundation building is the process of endowing the body with the spirituality of Haoran True Qi and washing the whole body with Haoran True Qi. In order to strengthen the foundation of students, the academy will mobilize the true qi on the square platform to help students optimize their physical fitness and achieve the best practice effect when building the foundation.
The students on the Founder Terrace did not show excessive concern about the foundation building of Nutian, after all, after the new students went up the mountain, there were people building the foundation almost every day, and the birth of a relatively outstanding student could only be regarded as a small splash in the sea for the academy with hundreds of thousands of students. As usual, people gradually left, and the lucky ones who had just built the foundation were forgotten in the corner almost instantly. When Nu Tian opened his eyes, the entire Founder Platform was actually empty except for him, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, because it was the first time he saw the empty Founder Terrace!
The body is stronger than before, and when Haoran True Qi is running in the body, there is no sluggish feeling before the foundation is built, which can be described as easy and easy. But it was a pity that Nu Tian didn't really bring him strong strength after building the foundation, although Haoran's true qi was strong and tenacious, but he didn't have the slightest strength in the early stage;
"At best, my body is a little stronger, and my thinking seems to have become a little clearer, this is the change brought about by the foundation building!" "The foundation building is not as magical as imagined, which makes Nu Tian unconsciously a little disappointed.
After shaking his head slightly, and throwing away the negative emotions in his mind, Nu Tian raised his head and looked around suspiciously. There are endless stone faces on all sides, and there is no such vibrant scene as when I read in the morning, as if I am the only one left in the whole world. A sense of loneliness welled up in my heart, and the joy and disappointment of the foundation suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving only a peace—a calm in which Mount Tai collapsed and remained unchanged.
Slowly stood up, and did not have the usual feeling of being teleported out, and couldn't help but take curious steps and walked on the square platform. It's ridiculous to say, although I read on the Founder Stage every day, but this is the first time I have walked on the stage!
"Isn't it just a few steps, it's become a novelty!" Nu Tian chuckled and laughed to himself.
"I'm afraid this is a reward after the foundation is built!" Being able to stay alone on the Founder Terrace, of course Nu Tian would not be naïve enough to think that this was an accident: "Although I don't know what the benefits will be, I should know it as I walk!"
Nu Tian didn't distinguish the direction, he just stepped forward with his feelings, and he didn't worry about finding a way out at all. But when he walked for a long time unconsciously, the sun sprinkled the blazing sun above his head, the original freedom and freehand were long gone, and all he got was panting and sweating fatigue...... It wasn't until the sun went down that the slave saw the edge of the square platform......
I don't know how he returned to the bamboo building, he only remembered that he fell on the bed after drinking half a tank of water, until the "dream bell" rang the next day.
After the morning reading, Nu Tian was teleported out by Fang Zhengtai as usual - the thought that he might not be teleported out Nu Tian's scalp was also numb!
"How about the morning reading after the foundation is built?" At this time, Ming Xinque came over and asked with a smile.
"Compared to before, the Haoran True Qi on the stage is clearer, and it is easier to capture those spiritual breaths......" Nu Tian replied after thinking for a while.
"How many steps did you take yesterday?" asked Ming Xinque suddenly curiously.
"How many steps have you taken?" Nu Tian looked at the senior suspiciously.
"How many steps did you take from your position to the edge of the Founder Terrace?" asked Ming Xinqi corrected.
"Isn't this interesting?" As soon as he mentioned this, Nu Tian immediately became angry: "It was that immoral ghost who came up with this kind ......of bad trick, I walked all day before I walked out, and now I feel weak when I think about it."
"After the foundation is built, everyone is the same, and there is only one chance to walk on the Founder Terrace...... "Ming Xinque didn't care about Nutian's anger, and after a brief explanation, he continued to ask: "How many steps have you taken?"
"In that case, I have the heart to count ......" was very puzzled by the senior's persistence, but when he thought about it carefully, he clearly remembered how many steps he had taken yesterday, and suddenly had a ghostly feeling: "A total of 336,000 and 23 steps......"
"Did anything happen in the process?" asked Ming Xinyu after jotting down the numbers.
"What will happen?" asked Nu Tian in surprise.
"That is, nothing happened!" said Mingxin to himself.
"Senior, you should make it clear, what will happen?" asked Nu Tian anxiously.
"Legend has it that Foundertower will give the students who have built the foundation a great opportunity, but no one knows what it is—because no one has ever encountered it!" explained Mingxin with a lack of interest.
“......”
"Let's go, I'll take you to the Library. Ming Xinqi patted Nu Tian on the shoulder and said.
"Can I choose the exercises?" Nu Tian asked excitedly.
"Calm down! Stand like a pine and sit like a clock...... What do you look like now?" said Mingxin.
"Got it, senior!" replied Nu Tian respectfully.
"Building a foundation is only the beginning of the path, and at this stage, we must slowly lay a solid foundation...... "Ming Xinqi taught as he walked.
"Yes, yes......" Nu Tian replied resignedly, at this time he was completely attracted by the exercises he was about to get, and the words that were lacking in his heart basically became the wind in his ears!
"After the foundation is built, the body will undergo drastic changes, don't ignore it because the body has not changed much at the beginning, this change will become more and more noticeable in the days to come...... Haoran True Qi is extremely domineering, and while controlling it, it will gradually change your body, so that your body will slowly begin to eliminate the existence of other spiritual qi, which is also the reason why Old Dean Liu thinks that you will waste the 'Zhimu Spirit Root' in the academy......"
"Oh, is it?" Nu Tian said absentmindedly, "I don't know what kind of exercises the academy will give me?"
"Listen to me carefully!" Ming Xinqian knocked Nu Tian's head hard, and said unhappily: "The most important thing for a student is not talent, but to learn to listen, you know?"
"I'm sorry, senior!" Nu Tian apologized to Ming Xinqian seriously.
"The academy will give you a choice according to your talent and temperament, and there will usually be about three to five books!" Ming Xinqi said.
"Oh!" this time Nu Tian nodded very seriously.
"You don't have to pay too much attention to the auxiliary exercises, it's just practical and easy to learn, after all, it's ......just a transition," Ming Xinqi continued to teach: "But let me remind you that although cultivation is important, you must not fall behind in learning, otherwise your state of mind will not be able to keep up, resulting in a decrease in the speed of cultivation." It's a very troublesome vicious circle, you have to know, put your studies first......"
"Does learning have anything to do with the state of mind?" asked Nu Tian puzzled.
"Of course, why do we call ourselves cultivators? Because cultivation is the process of sensing the Heavenly Dao. Immortal cultivators often say that the way of heaven is mysterious, but the ancestors of the academy believed that 'nature is the way of heaven'. Life and death are the way of heaven, sunrise and sunset are the way of heaven, flowers bloom and thank you are the way of heaven, and every bit of our life is also the way of heaven...... The more you learn, the more you understand, the wider your knowledge, the clearer your understanding of the Heavenly Dao, and the easier it will be to break through your state of mind......"
"Well, thank you seniors for teaching!" Nu Tian bowed respectfully to Ming Xinque.
