Chapter 141 Passing Three Levels
When the foundation was being built that day, Song Qingming also experienced dangers.
At the beginning, he followed the foundation-building steps he knew and used the marrow-cleansing pill in his hand to temper his physical body.
Although this step was a little painful, the overall process went smoothly. Although the bone and marrow training for more than ten days was a bit difficult, Song Qingming, who had been practicing Taoism for many years, had experienced this level of physical pain several times.
The marrow-cleansing pill has the best effect on tempering the monk's body when it is taken for the first time. If you take it later, it will basically have no effect. The average monk will only take one such pill in his life.
After tempering his physical body, Song Qingming did not waste any time. After adjusting his magic power to its optimal state, Song Qingming also began the formal first step of foundation building.
The first step for a monk to build a foundation is to use the magic power in the body to cleanse the marrow and change the tendons through the meridians. Although this is similar to the effect of refining the marrow-cleansing pill, the process and results are different.
The Marrow Cleansing Pill only helps the monks to temper their own bone marrow through the power of the pill, thereby improving the physical strength of the monks from within. The step of the monk's foundation-building, marrow-washing and tendon-changing is to penetrate all his magic power into the tiny meridians and blood vessels of his limbs. Not only the bone marrow, but every inch of flesh and blood in the monk's body will undergo a thorough process. Refining.
Only after passing this step can the monk's physical body make a qualitative leap, thus reaching the level of physical body that only Foundation Establishment monks can achieve.
Although Xu Ziyan had warned him beforehand that it would be very uncomfortable when washing the marrow and tendons, Song Qingming did not expect that the process would be so painful, as if he had experienced a long period of torture.
The process of washing the marrow and loosening the tendons is not only very painful, but also extremely slow. It will take at least half a month to complete. Every inch of flesh and blood that the magic penetrates feels like someone is constantly scraping the bones and devouring the flesh. Not long after, Song Qingming's whole body Because of the pain, big beads of sweat broke out involuntarily.
In the world of cultivating immortals, at least 60% of the monks who failed to break through and build the foundation failed at this first step. This level is not only very difficult, but also very dangerous. If you are not careful, you can easily get injured. own physical body.
A few days later, Song Qingming, who had just refined less than a quarter of his body, felt that he could no longer hold on, so he quickly took the Foundation Establishment Pill that he had prepared.
After the elixir entered the body, its power took effect very quickly. In an instant, Song Qingming felt a warmth coming from his Dantian, which immediately relieved him of a little pain. The huge spiritual power contained in the Foundation Establishment Pill also helped him speed up. The speed of his body's refining was such that after more than ten days, Song Qingming's body was slowly covered with a layer of excess substances refined from his body, and then he completed the step of marrow cleansing and tendon refining.
Fortunately, Song Qingming had taken the Marrow Cleansing Pill before, which had already strengthened his physical strength. With the help of the Foundation Establishment Pill, he passed the first level of Foundation Establishment without any danger.
But when it came to the second level, the step of condensing Qi, he was not so smooth.
Condensing Qi means condensing all the magic power in the monk's body into the Dantian. Through continuous contraction, the magic power is condensed from the original gaseous state into a liquid state. As long as the monk passes this step, even half of his foot has stepped into the building. Basic level.
Based on his own summary and the experience taught by Xu Ziyan, Song Qingming tried several times without success. In the end, the power of the first foundation-building pill was completely exhausted, and he had just touched a little bit of the doorway.
Fortunately, Song Qingming had already passed the most difficult first step of washing marrow and tendons. Although it was easy to fail in condensing Qi, with the protection of the Foundation Establishment Pill, the monk's own Dantian would basically not be hurt.
After experiencing a failure, Song Qingming was not discouraged. After refining his magic power, Song Qingming decisively took the second Foundation Establishment Pill with the help of a sense he had already grasped.
After gaining a certain amount of experience, Song Qingming finally did not let himself down this time and successfully completed the second level, successfully condensing the huge mana in his dantian into a liquefied state.
When it came to the third level of foundation building, forging the soul, it went smoothly beyond Song Qingming's expectations.
This level is mainly to strengthen the soul in the monk's body. It may be because Song Qingming has practiced the Soul Forging Art, and the soul in the body is already relatively powerful. Although Song Qingming has spent a lot of time tempering the soul in this level, Basically, no major bottlenecks were encountered, and the soul was successfully promoted to the foundation building state.
Unexpectedly, practicing the Divine Soul Technique would be somewhat helpful in building the foundation, which was somewhat beyond Song Qingming's expectation.
Although practicing the Divine Soul Technique is not that easy, it is useful for foundation building after all. Song Qingming is a little confused, "Why are there still not many people practicing the Divine Soul Technique in the world of immortality?"
However, after he came out of seclusion and communicated with Xu Ziyan, he soon understood that the most difficult part for monks to build the foundation was the first two levels. Very few people would fail in the third level when building the foundation. Generally, qi refining monks spend too much time practicing the soul skills. It is really better to put this energy on raising foundation building resources.
After nearly a year, Song Qingming stumbling and stumbling, finally succeeded in building the foundation without any danger.
It has been three years since he left home and came to Xiaoyao Sect. Song Qingming, who has now successfully established the foundation, is naturally very eager to tell the Song family members thousands of miles away about the good news.
After exchanging foundation-building experiences with Xu Ziyan for a few days, Song Qingming was also preparing to leave Xiaoyao Sect.
After bidding farewell to Xu Ziyan, Song Qingming returned to his own cave in Yangshanfang, packed up his things, and after checking out the rented cave, Song Qingming immediately set off back to Qinghe County.
When leaving Xiaoyao Sect, Xu Ziyan unexpectedly made a request to Song Qingming, asking him to bring her a Huiyan Pill the next time he came back, saying that he wanted to give it to a friend.
Song Qingming happened to have two more pills on him, so he simply gave them all to her. Anyway, these things were of no use to him, so he put them on him to give away. Unexpectedly, Xu Ziyan saw Song Qingming take out the Huiyan Pill this time, and his heart She was so happy that Song Qingming was almost confused. She didn't know whether she liked it or not.
After building the foundation, the first thing Song Qingming learned was the art of flying with a sword. It was thousands of miles from Xiaoyao Sect to Qinghe County, so it just came in handy.
In the past few years in Xiaoyao Sect, Song Qingming has also experienced flying in the air several times with Xu Ziyan. What he yearns for most is the magical power of flying to the sky and escaping from the earth that can only be used by high-level monks. Now he has finally achieved this wish and can travel alone between heaven and earth. .
