In fact, Qin Bufan's words were not wrong, if he only honestly cultivated according to the rules followed by other monks in the future, then with his spirit body of three spirit roots, the hope of building a foundation in the future can definitely be said to be negligible.

Why?

Because Qin Bufan is the spirit body of the three spirit roots, and for the monks, the first and most important thing is the spirit root. Only the better the spiritual root, the higher the monk's achievements in the future. Of course, this is not absolute, but it is enough to show that a monk's future achievements must have a lot to do with his spiritual roots.

There was once a monk on the Tianyuan Continent who counted that among the disciples in the Qi refining period, among the disciples of the Four Spirit Roots, that is, the pseudo-spirit roots, if this type of disciple did not go through the action of external forces, such as what kind of spirit pill was eaten, or if it was an elixir such as the Zhuji Pill, then the proportion of the foundation building in the future would basically be equal to zero!

Although Qin Bufan's spiritual roots are three spiritual roots, they are not much better than those four spiritual roots. According to the statistics of that senior, if a monk with the Three Spirit Root Spirit Body did not rely on the action of external forces, then the only one out of a hundred people who could successfully build a foundation naturally!

What is the concept of this layer?

Take the Xianyun Sect as an example, the Xianyun Sect has a total of about 10,000 Qi refining stage disciples, and the disciples of the three spirit roots and the four spirit roots account for more than half. In other words, if it is converted, then among the disciples of the Immortal Cloud Sect, who are in the 10,000 Qi refining period, those cultivators who account for more than half, and the number of people who can successfully build the foundation in the end is less than a hundred at most!

And that's just under normal circumstances, not counting the unexpected fall of the monks, or those who gave up halfway. It can be said that during the foundation building period, it was indeed too difficult for those ordinary disciples of the three spirit roots and the four spirit roots.

It's not an exaggeration to say that it's really one in a hundred.

At this time, when Elder He heard Qin Bufan's words, he naturally couldn't make any rebuttals, because he had also come from a small Qi Refining Stage disciple back then. In the past hundred years, he has seen too many monks who have not been able to build a foundation and become successful.

Of course he understood Qin Bufan's words, and he understood them very well.

"Qin Bufan, the old man understands what you mean. But the old man wants to ask you, what are our monks cultivating immortals for?" Elder He looked up at Qin Bufan's eyes and asked suspiciously.

"For what?"

When Qin Bufan heard Elder He's words, he muttered a sentence in his mouth, but after thinking about it for a few breaths in his mind, he blurted out:

"For eternal life!"

"In order to no longer be bound by heaven and earth!"

"In order to transcend the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements!"

"For the sake of your own freedom!

When Qin Bufan said this, his tone was excited, his chest was wide open, and the thought that had been hidden in his heart for a long time finally broke out at this moment.

"For eternal life, for freedom?" Elder He frowned slightly, as if thoughtful, and after repeating Qin Bufan's words, he closed his mouth and pondered.

For a while, the originally noisy Yuxian Pavilion loft suddenly quieted down.

But this kind of death-like silence only lasted for a dozen breaths, and Elder He suddenly woke up from his contemplation, stretched out two hands, grabbed Qin Bufan's arms, and said, "Qin Bufan! Okay, you are very good! I didn't expect that the old man had lived for so many years and cultivated immortals for so long, and he didn't even think of this!"

When Elder He said this, his face flushed, and he looked very excited, as if Qin Bufan's words just now had given him great inspiration.

Qin Bufan looked at the face of Elder He, who was originally calm and unfazed when the sky fell, turned into like this, Qin Bufan couldn't help but touch his nose at the moment, and secretly laughed in his heart.

I didn't expect that it was just such a small feeling of my own that made this Elder He so excited, but it was really weird!

But what surprised Qin Bufan even more was still to come.

After Elder He said such a thing to Qin Bufan with an excited face, suddenly, he saw that his face, which was originally full of smiles, suddenly stopped in an instant.

As soon as Elder He's strange face appeared, Qin Bufan looked at Elder He's face and saw that he was surprised, as if something had happened that made him feel very strange.

But Qin Bufan turned his head and looked behind him, but he didn't find anything unusual. At that moment, he also looked at Elder He with a puzzled look, not knowing what he was thinking at this time.

However, just when Qin Bufan was wondering, Elder Nahe suddenly came to his senses again. I saw him grabbing Qin Bufan's arm with both hands, swinging it up and down vigorously, shaking Qin Bufan's arm and saying, "Qin Bufan, you are really the old man's lucky star!"

"Fuxing?" Qin Bufan was immediately stunned, not understanding what this Elder He was talking about. It's just that looking at his excited face, if Qin Bufan hadn't known that this Elder He was a normal person, I'm afraid he would have thought that this Elder He had lost his mind.

After this Elder He shook Qin Bufan's arm a few times, he seemed to find that he was indeed too excited at this time, so he immediately let go of the hands that were tightly gripping Qin Bufan's arm, closed his eyes, and took a few deep breaths before he opened his eyes and explained to Qin Bufan in an embarrassed tone:

"Oops, I was so excited, so happy, I didn't scare you, right?"

When Qin Bufan heard Elder He's words, he realized that Elder He's actions just now were originally because he was happy. But the thing that made Qin Bufan wonder even more came out again, what did you say you were happy about? I just said a few words just now, and I didn't give you any panacea, what are you excited about?

Of course, although Qin Bufan thought so in his heart at this time, even if Qin Bufan was stupid, he couldn't say that, so he muttered for a few breaths before asking, "Oh, happy, Elder He, you're confusing me, we were just chatting just now, what can be worth getting you excited about?"

After hearing Qin Bufan's question, Elder He smiled embarrassedly, and then said to Qin Bufan in an excited tone:

"Since you asked so, the old man naturally can't hide it from you. To tell you the truth, the old man is already in the middle of the foundation building period, but do you know that the old man has been wandering in the middle of the foundation building period for a full seventeen years! In these seventeen years, the old man has not thought that he can break through to the late stage of the foundation building period. I don't want this card to be stuck with my husband for a full seventeen years!"

When Elder He said this, a few traces of anger flashed in his eyes, he had been extremely uncomfortable in the past seventeen years.

"The old man doesn't hide it from you, I am already more than one hundred and thirty years old this year, and there are only less than seventy years left before the two hundred years of life in the foundation building period. Originally, the old man had no intention of attacking the Dan period again. Because the old man knew that he was just lucky to build a foundation. But I also understand that if this foundation building stage monk wants to hit the foundation building stage, that difficulty may be even more difficult than that of a disciple in the qi refining stage to attack the foundation building stage!"

Speaking of this, Elder He's face was slightly gloomy, as if he had thought of something. It's just that this gloomy look only stayed on his face for a few breaths before disappearing, and then this Elder He continued: "But compared to you, you should also know that the ability mastered by the monks of the Dan Stage and the Foundation Building Stage is not at the same level at all. Although the old man said that he had no intention of attacking the Dan period, do you understand? The old man actually wants to, and he really wants to! Who doesn't want to have more powerful power, who doesn't want to live longer, live longer!"

Elder He said this, I don't know why, maybe the excitement in my heart has slowly calmed down with the passage of time. After saying this, Elder He's face no longer had the excited and crazy look he had before.

"Do you know, Qin Bufan, the old man actually wants to thank you very much! Because of what you just said, after the old man heard it, he seemed to have an epiphany in his mind, although he didn't completely understand what that epiphany was, but to the old man's surprise, in his body, the dantian that had been quiet for seventeen years seemed to have been reborn!"

Although this Elder He had not yet made his words clear, hearing this, Qin Bufan's heart had already roughly understood what this Elder He wanted to express. So, Qin Bufan just listened to what Elder He said, and he was just quietly a listener.

Seeing that he had said so many words to Qin Bufan so excitedly, but he didn't get the slightest reaction from Qin Bufan, he was also anxious at the moment, and even pulled Qin Bufan's arm tightly with both hands, and said loudly:

"Do you know, Qin Bufan! The old man has a hunch that after I retreat for a while, I may be able to break through the middle stage of foundation building and enter the late stage of foundation building!

Qin Bufan heard Elder He say so much, and finally said what he wanted to say in the end. Although Qin Bufan had already guessed what Elder He wanted to express, Qin Bufan did not continue to look at Elder He calmly.

So, after listening to Elder He's words, Qin Bufan deliberately pretended to be surprised, his eyes widened, staring at Elder He's eyes, and pretending to ask, "Really, Elder He, are you really sure that you will be able to enter the late stage of foundation building after a period of retreat?"

"Haha, why did the old man lie to you! The old man has always said one thing and two things when he speaks, let me tell you the truth, the old man is confident that after three years of retreat, he can break through to the late stage of foundation building in one fell swoop!" Elder He laughed and stroked his beard with one hand, as if he was very satisfied with Qin Bufan's surprised appearance.
