Chapter 417 Nine levels of foundation building
In addition to the monks who come to Yangshanfang to live permanently, many monks from all over the country come here every year to purchase cultivation materials. Naturally, there are also some monks and Song Qingming who are eager to break through and come here temporarily to rent a cave.
After hearing Song Qingming's explanation, the little old man didn't bother too much. He nodded with a smile and turned around to check in.
After a while, the little old man returned to the place with a smile on his face and handed the prohibition token he had just taken into Song Qingming's hands.
"Senior, this is the prohibition token for your selection of Cave No. 11. This thing will automatically expire after half a year. If senior still wants to continue renting at that time, just come here and find junior to help you renew the lease. "
After Song Qingming took the token, he nodded with a smile, gave the other party a bag of spiritual stones from the rented cave, and gave him an extra spiritual stone as a reward.
After seeing the spirit stone, the little old man expressed his joy and thanked him repeatedly, and happily sent Song Qingming out.
Outer disciples like him have a very low status in the Xiaoyao Sect. Once they reach an age, they will be sent out to help carry out sect tasks or take care of some Xiaoyao Sect properties. Basically, they are not allowed to do so. Are there any opportunities for foundation building?
I think it would be safer for him to stay here in Yangshanfang to perform his mission, but compared to other dangerous mission sects, the rewards for his good deeds and spiritual stones would naturally be relatively smaller. If he could have a few more guests like Song Qingming in a day , their lives will be much easier.
With the guidance of the cave's token, Song Qingming quickly found the cave he rented in the back mountain.
After feeling that the spiritual energy in the cave was close to the third-level low-grade, Song Qingming nodded with satisfaction.
"After spending more than a dozen spirit stones, the difference in treatment is different. With such sufficient spiritual energy, there is no need to specially set up the spirit gathering array. If it doesn't work this time, then God will really be unfair to me."
When he was in Funiu Mountain, Song Qingming had already tried to break through several times. Although they all failed, he had laid a certain foundation. In addition, with the help of Wangyue Dan in this retreat, Song Qingming was still very sure of the success of the breakthrough. of.
When a monk breaks through the realm, his own character and cultivation state are also very important. If the Taoist heart is not firm enough, even with the help of better elixirs, the breakthrough will easily fail.
After muttering to himself, Song Qingming took a deep breath, lit a stick of Jingshen Incense, slowly calmed down and sat down, and began to adjust his cultivation state with the help of the yellow talisman in his hand.
This kind of yellow talisman that doesn't look very eye-catching is the Pure Heart Talisman that Song Qingming has been using for a long time. After practicing Taoism for so many years, Song Qingming also cherishes this talisman very much. No matter when and where he is, he will basically have a few of them on him. .
Although the Qingxin Talisman is not of a high grade and is only a first-level spiritual talisman, Song Qingming doesn't know if he has become accustomed to using it. Whenever he breaks through in retreat or practices new techniques and needs to stabilize his mind, he still feels the Qingxin Talisman in his hand. Best to use.
After a stick of incense, Song Qingming closed his eyes and felt that his physical condition had almost been adjusted, and he began to use his hands to perform the Jade Mysterious Sutra.
As a ray of cyan light began to wrap around his body, the aura on Song Qingming's body suddenly seemed like a calm lake, and whirlpools began to roll up.
The mana stored in the Dantian of the foundation-building monk is like liquid water, and it is constantly impacting various acupoints in Song Qingming's body.
After a monk reaches the foundation building realm, as his magic power continues to improve, his body's Dantian will gradually expand. From practicing on the first level of Foundation Building to the eighth level of Foundation Building, Song Qingming's current Dantian capacity has been compared to when he first broke through Foundation Building. It has increased in size four to five times.
After the mana in his body had washed away the acupoints all over his body and returned to the Dantian, Song Qingming ran the Jade Mysterious Sutra again to gradually stabilize the mana, and then took out the Moon-Watching Pill that he had obtained not long ago.
Song Qingming's failure in attacking the ninth level of foundation building several times before was actually not due to lack of mana in his body, but because he failed to control his mana in time and stabilize his cultivation when he successfully attacked the bottleneck, which led to his cultivation not long after. Because he fell down again.
The effect of the Moon Watching Pill is to help monks stabilize their magic power when they break through. When Song Qingming broke through from the seventh level to the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment, he took the Moon Watching Pill and successfully broke through in one retreat.
After reaching the late stage of foundation building, the difficulty of breaking through each level has become much more difficult than before. Without the assistance of elixirs, Song Qingming would probably still be like most monks, with his cultivation still stuck in the middle stage of foundation building. Even the seventh level of foundation building is difficult to pass.
After swallowing the Moon Watching Pill in one gulp, the spiritual power contained in the pill gradually began to integrate into Song Qingming's body. Soon Song Qingming felt a gentler spiritual power in his Dantian.
Seeing that the effect of Moon Watching Pill had begun to show, Song Qingming no longer hesitated, closed his eyes and concentrated on raising the mana in his body, and began to attack the last bottleneck of the foundation-building realm.
A few months later, a white aura suddenly lit up at the door of Song Qingming's cave, which was already covered with fallen leaves. After a wave of spiritual power emerged from the restriction at the entrance of the cave, Song Qingming, with a calm expression, strode out of it.
At this moment, the aura exuding from him was obviously different from before the retreat. After several months of retreat, Song Qingming's cultivation had reached the peak of the foundation-building realm, and he was only one step away from the golden elixir realm.
This time the retreat took several months to break through the ninth level of foundation building, but it was relatively smooth and there were no unexpected incidents.
Standing in front of the cave gate, Song Qingming looked up at Yangshanfang at the foot of the mountain, and felt very happy in his heart.
After practicing Taoism for hundreds of years, he has finally broken through the last level of the foundation building stage and reached the stage of forming a pill.
Recalling that when I was weak, I worked hard to improve my cultivation just to be able to survive in this world of immortality. When I first succeeded in building the foundation, I was still a little confused. I don’t know where my path will lead.
But now Song Qingming, even though he is not so sure about the success of forming pills in the future, his eyes are more determined than before. The monk's pursuit of Taoism is nothing more than fighting for that sliver of immortality, no matter what he will encounter in the future. Regardless of the difficulties and dangers, we must continue to pursue the path firmly.
Even if he fails to make it to the end, at least he will not regret himself in the future.
I wish you all a Happy New Year
