Chapter 185 Foundation Building Successful
But the road of cultivation has always been a pyramid.
This means that at every step of this road, someone will fall.
Those who received the foundation-building pill but failed to build the foundation have undoubtedly become the paving stones on this road.
And once the foundation-building fails, it means that you have also lost the qualification to participate in the "Five Prisons Illusion" trial, which basically means that the road of cultivation is cut off.
This is also an extremely helpless thing. After all, even for the five major sects, the resources of cultivation are limited, and the foundation-building pill is extremely precious. Each foundation-building pill represents an opportunity for life evolution.
It is precisely because of the scarcity of the foundation-building pill that it is almost impossible for a person to be given multiple foundation-building pills.
Even for outer disciples with earth spirit roots, this is the case. However, as long as outer disciples with earth spirit roots get a foundation-building pill, the probability of successfully building a foundation is still very high.
Of course, if it is a heavenly spirit root, even if you don't take the foundation-building pill, there is a high probability that you can successfully build a foundation.
But such geniuses are always very rare.
For most of the outer disciples of Dancao Mountain, they cannot escape the path of building a foundation with the foundation-building pill.
In just one month, Dancao Mountain has more than a dozen foundation-building cultivators. These are more than a dozen people who have stood out from more than a hundred people who have obtained the foundation-building pill through the cave trial and the five-prison illusion trial.
Of course, there are some overlaps between the two. They not only passed the cave trial, but also passed the five-prison illusion trial, so like Xiao Lin, one person got two foundation-building pills.
The probability of successful foundation building for this kind of people is undoubtedly much higher than that of cultivators who only got one foundation-building pill.
In a year, more than a dozen foundation-building cultivators are naturally a happy event for Dancao Mountain, but the senior leaders of Dancao Mountain are also very clear that the reason why there are more than a dozen foundation-building disciples this time is mainly because of the opening of the cave trial.
In the future, it will be very good to have a few foundation-building disciples every year.
Those outer disciples who had successfully established their foundation naturally received the sect's welfare with great joy, and then left the foot of the mountain where they had lived for a long time, either going to the palaces on the mountainside or going outside the mountain to open up their own caves.
A month later, with the departure of these disciples who had successfully established their foundation, the bottom of the entire Dancao Mountain calmed down again.
......
Xiao Lin, who had been sitting in the stone chamber with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, and two divine lights flashed and disappeared.
He stared at the wall in the stone chamber for a long time, and his face was full of doubts.
After taking two foundation-building pills in succession and breaking through in a closed-door manner for a month, Xiao Lin couldn't even tell whether it was a success or a failure.
After taking two foundation-building pills and breaking through the bottleneck in a closed-door manner for a month, Xiao Lin now felt much lighter, and the mana in his dantian had also turned into a viscous state of gas and liquid.
According to the information Xiao Lin got from those foundation-building seniors in the Chuanfa Building, it seemed that only when the mana in the dantian had all turned into liquid could it be considered a successful foundation.
Xiao Lin thought for a long time before guessing that his current state should be the legendary eleventh level of Qi Refining, also known as the semi-foundation state. If he had one or two more foundation-building pills, Xiao Lin believed that he would definitely be able to enter the foundation-building stage immediately.
This feeling made Xiao Lin a little uncomfortable. It was like a person swimming in a river, and when he was about to reach the shore, his legs suddenly cramped.
"It seems that it is time to refine the foundation-building pill." After thinking for a moment, Xiao Lin muttered to himself.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin closed his eyes again, and a moment later, he appeared in the spirit wood space.
Looking at the lush purple spirit flowers in front of him, Xiao Lin's gloomy face finally had a smile. He took out a bunch of jade boxes from the storage bag beside him and began to pick purple spirit flowers and dust-cleansing grass.
It took more than an hour to pick the two main medicinal materials for refining the foundation-building pill and put them in a storage bag.
After doing all this, Xiao Lin came to the central sapling, flicked the tender leaf, and left the spirit wood space.
Xiao Lin stood up after returning to the stone chamber again. He left the stone chamber and headed straight for the halfway point of Qingzhu Peak.
There were several earth fire chambers on the halfway point of Qingzhu Peak, which were specially rented out to disciples in the sect for alchemy and weapon refining. The reason why Xiao Lin did not go to the alchemy chamber on the spiritual field of Qingdan Peak was mainly because he was worried that the process of refining the foundation-building pill would be discovered by Master Tao.
Although Master Tao rarely came to the spiritual field, Xiao Lin decided to rent an earth fire chamber to refine the foundation-building pill just in case, and he could also break through directly in it.
After paying 100 low-grade spirit stones, Xiao Lin entered the stone chamber. After passing through a long corridor, he came to a mountain belly. After the Dragon-breaking Stone fell, the mountain belly was completely isolated from the outside world.
This kind of earth fire chamber is extremely hidden and safe. Many outer disciples in the Qi Refining Stage would choose to retreat in this earth fire chamber when they build their foundation.
The underground fire room that Xiao Lin chose was the one with the most stable underground fire among the several underground fire rooms, and Xiao Lin directly spent 100 low-grade spirit stones and rented it for half a year.
In Xiao Lin's opinion, half a year was enough time for him to refine the foundation-building pill and successfully build the foundation.
Looking at the underground fire pool in front of him, this underground fire pool was just a small hole about a foot square, covered with a piece of black metal with a little red.
Xiao Lin lightly touched the black metal, and the black metal immediately flew up and landed steadily on the side.
Dark red flames spurted out from the small hole about a foot square, and the temperature in the entire mountain suddenly rose a lot.
Xiao Lin gently patted the bag on his waist, and a shining silver alchemy furnace flew out and landed on the small hole, throwing up a cloud of smoke and dust.
After taking a look at the purple silver smelting furnace that was constantly being heated, Xiao Lin silently took out the medicinal materials for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill one by one from the storage bag and placed them in the open space next to him.
Then Xiao Lin sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and entered a meditative state.
...
Three months later, Xiao Lin looked at the three jade bottles next to him with a gloomy expression. He held a green elixir the size of a pigeon egg in his hand. The entire mountain was enveloped by a faint aroma, refreshing.
Xiao Lin looked at the three jade bottles with a slightly depressed look on his face.
In three full months, Xiao Lin refined no less than fifty furnaces of Foundation-Building Pills, but only succeeded in three furnaces, totaling twenty-one Foundation-Building Pills.
This success rate makes Xiao Lin ashamed. If he were given the task of refining the Foundation Establishment Pill after the catacomb trial, the five major sects would have directly discontinued the inheritance. Judging from his current success rate, it is not enough. Half finished.
Although he was a little depressed, Xiao Lin didn't feel bad. Although the success rate of refining the Foundation Establishment Pill was so low that he blushed, after all, he refined 21 Foundation Establishment Pills, which was enough for his own Foundation Establishment.
Xiao Lin first put away the purple silver smelting furnace, and after cleaning up the scattered medicinal residues everywhere, he sat down cross-legged again, closed his eyes and entered a meditative state.
Three days later, Xiao Lin woke up from his trance. After pondering for a moment, he poured out a Foundation Building Pill from the jade bottle beside him and gently put it into his mouth...
One month later.
Xiao Lin controlled the Seven Blade Slash and flew in the sea of clouds. His brows were filled with excitement, feeling the majestic magic power in his body. Looking at the scenery above the sea of clouds in the distance, Xiao Lin couldn't help but roar up to the sky.
The roar echoed between the heaven and the earth, and the white clouds within a few dozen feet around Xiao Lin also rolled and disappeared in the roar.
More than half a month ago, after taking the third Foundation Establishment Pill, the magic power in Xiao Lin's Dantian finally turned into liquid. At that moment, Xiao Lin felt in a trance, and then he was surprised to find, The world changed in his perception.
Everything became clear in his eyes. In Xiao Lin's view, it was as if someone had blocked his eyes with a layer of translucent window paper. Although he could see clearly, it was always a little blurry.
But now, if Xiao Lin is willing, he can clearly hear the chirping of insects and ants more than ten feet away.
The moment he entered the foundation building stage, Xiao Lin's power of spiritual consciousness also skyrocketed. Originally, it could only cover an area of thirty feet. After entering the foundation building stage, this distance suddenly expanded to two to three hundred feet. This shows that His power of spiritual consciousness increased at least ten times.
Not only that, after entering the foundation building stage, the mana in Xiao Lin's dantian was at least ten times stronger than that in the Qi refining stage. Now Xiao Lin finally understands why the number one of the Nine Evils of Snow Mountain is so powerful. I am proud to have escaped with my life from the Foundation Establishment monks.
In Xiao Lin's view, with his current combat power, if he wanted to kill a Dzogchen cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, even without using a spiritual weapon, a basic spell would be enough to turn him into ashes.
Xiao Lin was intoxicated by the refreshing feeling brought about by the improvement of his life level, and could not extricate himself for a long time.
After establishing the foundation, Xiao Lin has been able to break through the air restrictions of Dancao Mountain and fly with weapons. It can be said that this is also a privilege given by Dancao Mountain to the foundation-building disciples in the sect.
Riding the Seven Blade Slash, Xiao Lin turned into a huge dark green light more than ten feet long and headed towards Qingdan Peak.
After establishing the foundation, the Seven Blade Slash in Xiao Lin's hand was finally able to exert 100% of its power. The smooth feeling of wielding it made Xiao Lin feel very comfortable.
Almost in a moment, dozens of miles of mountain roads whizzed past, and Xiao Lin landed on the square in front of the Gongde Hall.
Seeing Xiao Lin descending from the sky, several Qi Refining Period outer disciples who were close together bowed and saluted, shouting "Senior.", while those who were far away all looked at Xiao Lin with envy, which made Xiao Lin's vanity was greatly satisfied.
With a cold face, Xiao Lin nodded lightly, and then walked straight towards Zangzhen Palace.
Entering the Cangzhen Hall, Xiao Lin swaggered past the many Qi Refining Period outer disciples who were queuing up and came to the window.
The man at the window saw Xiao Lin skipping the queue and came directly to the window. His face was about to show dissatisfaction, but after he sensed the huge spiritual pressure emanating from Xiao Lin's body, his face immediately turned pale and his face became crowded. Put on a smile.
"It turns out it's senior. I wonder what the senior's mission is?"
After sensing the aura of the Foundation Establishment cultivator on Xiao Lin's body, the outer disciples of the Qi Refining Stage who were queuing up next to them all showed horror on their faces, hurriedly moved away from their seats, and at the same time bowed to Xiao Lin.
He glanced at the man coldly, and the change in the man's expression was naturally reflected in Xiao Lin's eyes. He felt secretly happy at the same time and said lightly: "I have just made a breakthrough, and now I am here to change the token."
With that said, Xiao Lin threw the token of his outer disciple over.
"I see, senior, please wait a moment." The look of envy on his face flashed away, and the man hurriedly took Xiao Lin's outer disciple token and entered the stone room at the back.
