Chapter 238 Blue Water Bell
This bottle of Earth Spirit Dew is almost worth the nearly ten years of hard training of a foundation-building monk. As Huofeng said, with Song Qingming's cultivation level, now he can directly refine this bottle of Earth Spirit Dew, which is almost enough for him. Immediately break through to the fourth level of foundation building.
However, Song Qingming did not plan to refine this spiritual object immediately. It had only been a year since he broke through to the third level of foundation building, and now he has immediately improved his cultivation. It may attract the attention of others or the Xiaoyao Sect. He thought about it. After a while, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he decided to wait a few years before refining this thing.
After returning to Funiu Mountain, Song Qingming began to enter seclusion, preparing to practice the bronze bell magic weapon he had obtained in the secret realm.
After returning from this trip to the secret realm of Taiyue Lake, Song Qingming felt deeply that his strength was still lacking. Facing slightly more powerful foundation-building monks of the same level, he had no confidence that he could defeat them.
In the battle with Chen Yuan, although Song Qingming finally defeated and killed the opponent, he mainly relied on strategy and luck. If he was unlucky and the opponent did not fall into the trap, he might be the one who died in the secret realm.
Ever since Song Qingming established his foundation, he has been in a state of embarrassment. His family has consumed a large amount of spiritual stones in order to improve his spiritual veins, and there is no way to subsidize him.
The spiritual stones he earned by making talismans and other methods were used to maintain the daily practice of a foundation-building monk. After purchasing elixirs, there was not much left. Although he had a few second-level magic weapons over the years, they were all It is the most common low-grade magic weapon, and its help to him is very limited in the battle between monks of the same level.
However, after this trip to the secret realm of Taiyue Lake, Song Qingming, who is now richer, finally has the resources to improve his strength.
Refining this magic weapon is only the first step. Next, he plans to go to the surrounding market to find a way to get some more powerful second-level magic weapons to protect himself, so that he can meet Chen Yuan next time he goes out. In this way, ordinary monks with similar cultivation levels to him would not have to worry too much.
This time, it took Song Qingming nearly a month to complete the ritual refining.
Song Qingming, who was sitting in the cave, was constantly pouring mana into the small, palm-sized copper bell in his hand.
Under his control, the bronze bell suddenly began to grow in size, and did not stop until it completely reached the highest point of the cave.
At this time, the widest point where the bronze bell was in contact with the ground was already several feet long. As Song Qingming activated his magic power again, the bronze bell suddenly became several times smaller, returning to the top of his head and slowly falling. He came down and protected his entire body.
After a few days of refining this magical artifact, Song Qingming was finally able to fully control the bronze bell next to him, and gradually understood some of the special abilities of this magical artifact.
In addition to its outstanding defensive capabilities, this bronze bell can also be released to control the opponent. Once it is covered by this bell, as long as the opponent is not a monk or a monster in the late stage of foundation building, it is absolutely impossible to escape in a short time. possible.
In addition to its outstanding defense and containment capabilities, this bell can also release several very powerful water-attribute defense spells when facing enemies. It also has some restraint effects on monks and magic weapons who practice fire-attribute skills.
In view of its characteristics, Song Qingming gave this clock a name, Bishui Bell.
Song Qingming's current cultivation is only at the third level of Foundation Establishment. Although he can use the Bishui Bell, a second-level high-grade magic weapon, he can only use 60 to 70% of its strength. When his cultivation reaches the later stage of Foundation Establishment, this bell The power can also be improved a lot.
After completing the ritual refining of the Blue Water Bell, Song Qingming's ability to fight with others has improved by at least 30 to 40% compared to before.
Now, as long as he doesn't run into any monks who are in the late stage of foundation building or above, even if he can't defeat someone who is one or two levels higher than him, he won't be in great danger for his life.
After establishing the foundation, the biggest goal of all monks is to form a golden elixir and become a high-ranking golden elixir master.
Over the years, Huang Shengxin of the Huang family has gone deep into the Fuyun Mountains to collect high-level elixirs and entered the secret realm of Taiyue Lake to find life-extending spiritual objects. The reason why he was willing to take such huge risks was just for the illusory opportunity to form elixirs.
Even if there is a glimmer of hope, these strong men who have reached the pinnacle of foundation building will be willing to take the risk. This is the fate that all monks cannot escape. If they cannot successfully form the elixir, after more than two hundred years, their cultivation will eventually become... For Loess, who has already reached the peak of foundation building and is only one step away from changing his destiny, who would be willing to fall here.
Almost all the large-scale mineral resources in the Wei Kingdom are in the hands of the Xiaoyao Sect. Immortal cultivating families like the Song family, in addition to regularly sending disciples with good spiritual roots to the Xiaoyao Sect, also only help the Xiaoyao Sect control the management of some remote sites. That’s all.
Even those immortal clans with several foundation-building monks in their clans have very limited resources. If they want to establish a market in their own territory to collect cultivation resources, they have to give part of the profits to Xiaoyao Sect.
In the entire cultivation world, monks below the Golden Core level can only be regarded as the lowest level monks. It is also difficult for them to obtain too many cultivation resources. Without enough cultivation resources, it is difficult for them to go to Qi Refining or Foundation Building. They have to improve their cultivation to obtain more resources. After entering this cycle of death, they can only become vassals of large sects from generation to generation.
If you want to break away from the control of Xiaoyao Sect and get more cultivation resources, only if someone in the clan successfully forms an elixir and becomes a golden elixir family like the Ma family in Tiexian Valley.
The entire world of immortal cultivation around the Fuyun Mountains is similar. Only monks above the Golden Core level are qualified to sit on the table where resources are allocated, and only those at the Nascent Soul level are qualified to control a party's rights and give orders.
Compared with building a foundation, it is at least ten times more difficult for a monk to form a pill. From all the major cultivating families in the entire Wei Kingdom, plus casual cultivators, there will be people with good luck like Song Qingming who can succeed in building a foundation almost every year. However, Among the alchemy monks, in the past hundred years, only one casual cultivator, Li Xianyun, had successfully formed an alchemy.
As a casual cultivator from the Wei Kingdom, Li Xianyun was extremely talented. He had practiced Taoism for less than a hundred years and successfully formed an elixir with the help of his two spiritual roots. His feat shocked even the Supreme Elder of the Xiaoyao Sect, Li Mufeng, at the time. He personally invited him to join the Xiaoyao Sect. Unexpectedly, Li Xianyun was very angry and unwilling to be tied down by the sect, so he directly rejected the matter. He didn't even give the Yuanying ancestor the face, and he left Wei after a while. I have traveled abroad and have not returned here for decades.
