Chapter 875 “Foundation Building” and Promotion (Please subscribe and collect)
"Tending various low-level elixir gardens and planting various low-level elixirs day after day seems to be of no use to the advancement of cultivation, but it is very effective in tempering the state of mind."
"If I can successfully achieve Nascent Soul this time, all these years of training will also be indispensable, and the foundation of my cultivation will also be somewhat consolidated."
After Sun Mingsheng took care of all the elixirs, he returned to a wooden attic. Compared with when he entered the Zhenyan Gate just now, it can be said that he changed his mind from a shotgun to a cannon.
"But if you really achieve Nascent Soul in the True Flame Sect, how can the cause and effect be so easily repaid? It is not so easy to repay the kindness of helping others become enlightened."
Soon a brand new question arose in my mind, but it didn't occupy the mainstream. After all, all the worries are to successfully achieve Yuanying. If the promotion fails, the only outcome is death. If it disappears, there will naturally be no so-called causal relationship.
"It's a pity that the current cultivation level is still slightly inferior. The monks in the Qi Refining Period cannot enter the depths of Zhen Yan Ling Mountain to choose a suitable location for retreat. It seems that it is time to complete some sect tasks in exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills to break the bottleneck and advance to the Establishment Establishment Pill." It’s the base period”
In any sect in the world of cultivation, except for some talented people or descendants of senior monks, most of the monks in the Qi Refining Stage are just peripheral members. They are not worth investing too much resources in cultivating. The only promotion is Only after building the foundation can one be called a true sect monk.
It is naturally the same in Zhenyan Sect. Only after being promoted to Foundation Establishment can one be qualified to open a cave on the mountainside of Zhenyan Lingshan for daily practice needs.
Sun Mingsheng was at the ninth level of Qi training when he started. After all these years of hard work, it is not too surprising that he was successfully promoted to Foundation Establishment with the help of the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Two days later, Sun Mingsheng received a task from the sect to pick a second-grade low-grade snake waist fruit from the snake nest. According to the sect's regulations, one snake waist fruit can be exchanged for a foundation-building pill.
The Snake Waist Spirit Fruit is not very useful in the entire endless sea cultivation world, and it can even be called an unpopular spirit fruit with a cooler nature.
But it is this kind of spiritual fruit that has a wide range of uses in Zhenyan Sect. It uses the coolness in the snake waist spiritual fruit to suppress the coldness in the body of some masters who have been refining spiritual weapons and magical weapons in the earth fire all year round. Hot and dry air.
Other second-level high-grade spiritual fruits are almost impossible to successfully pick for the ninth-level Qi Refining monks. In the snake nest, the snake waist spiritual fruit is just a kind of spiritual fruit cultivated by useless snakes, and it is not too valued. As long as you are careful, there is a certain possibility of stealing it when it is out hunting for blood food.
In the entire Zhenyan Sect, entering the snake nest to pick the snake waist spirit fruit can be said to be one of the tasks with the lowest difficulty and the highest success rate in exchange for foundation building pills.
Of course, the so-called lowest difficulty is only a relative term. For a normal ninth-level Qi Refining monk, if he cannot leave before the second-level snake demon returns, he will also have to pay the price with his life.
"This is the first time I've heard of the Snake Waist Spirit Fruit. Given the vastness of the world of cultivation, all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures emerge in endlessly. It's impossible for a single person to figure them all out in his lifetime."
Sun Mingsheng didn't take this task seriously. With his strength and cultivation, ordinary third-level demon snakes were nothing to worry about, let alone only a second-level low-level snake?
Two days later, Sun Mingsheng returned to Zhenyan Sect with scars and faltering steps, and successfully redeemed a foundation-building pill. Half a year later, following a vortex of spiritual power, Sun Zhao, a disciple of Zhenyan Sect, was successfully promoted. In the foundation building stage, you have entered the foundation building threshold and gained the right to enter the Zhen Yan Ling Mountain to open up a cave.
Because he was good at taking care of and cultivating the elixir garden during the Qi refining period, the task he got this time was to take care of a second-level low-grade elixir garden, which can be regarded as making the best use of his talents.
By the time he was successfully promoted to the foundation building stage, it had been thirteen years since Sun Zhao entered the Zhenyan Sect. His speed was neither fast nor slow, and it was not eye-catching.
In a very large sect such as Zhenyan Sect, which has three Nascent Soul stage monks, the foundation building stage is just the beginning of gaining recognition from the sect.
After being promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage, Sun Mingsheng still maintained his usual schedule. The slightest disturbance caused by his promotion to the Foundation Establishment Stage quickly disappeared, and he once again became the most ordinary person among the hundreds of True Flame Sect Foundation Establishment Stage monks.
Perhaps the only one in the entire sect who remembers Sun Zhao, a newly promoted monk in the early stages of foundation building, are the only sect disciples who come to the elixir garden every year to collect elixirs and some who specifically collect extra elixirs from him and sell them for profit. middlemen.
"In the early stages of foundation building, we were only at the foot of Zhen Yan Ling Mountain, but our spiritual veins had already reached between the second-order high-grade to the third-order low-grade. This is the foundation that a large sect should have. Although the family has developed over the years, , but it’s still quite a long way from the real big sect.”
Sun Mingsheng sighed as he felt the spiritual power around him. At the same time, the sense of urgency in his heart was increasing day by day. It was still unknown whether choosing to become a Nascent Soul in such a sect would be a blessing or a curse.
An idea flashed through his mind, but it did not shake his subsequent plans and choices. In addition to his daily practice, he also began to appear in different locations in Zhen Yan Ling Mountain, trying to choose the most suitable place for promotion. The nascent and unobtrusive location is used for future retreats.
Because it is related to the future achievement of Yuanying, the first requirement is that the intensity of spiritual power reaches at least the fourth level of low-grade. Even among the Zhenyan Sect, there are only a few such positions. Most of them are located on the top of the mountain. It provides the spiritual cultivation needs of the Yuanying-stage ancestors of the Zhenyan Sect and the late-Jindan monks.
Although he had sufficient confidence in his own strength, he still did not dare to go wild in these places, so he could only patiently search for them one by one.
Fortunately, with his current cultivation level, as long as he has never met the three Nascent Soul Stage ancestors of Zhenyan Sect head-on, he is confident enough to protect himself. Otherwise, how could he act recklessly?
During the entire search process, Sun Mingsheng invested unprecedented patience and time. Day by day, month by month, year by year, he eliminated the spiritual vein locations that were initially selected and then canceled one by one. However, We are not willing to take risks if there is any slight flaw.
It wasn't until Sun Zhao, a disciple of the Zhenyan Sect, was promoted to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment and entered the threshold of the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. After twenty-five years of comparison, several different positions were initially selected as final alternatives.
"The four positions are all located in relatively hidden positions at the back of Zhen Yan Ling Mountain, and the degree of spiritual power dissipation on the surface is below the third-level mid-level. As long as a set of formations are arranged to cover up the aura, all of them can naturally be By suppressing all the aura, the danger level is reduced to the lowest level."
After several days of repeated inspections, Sun Mingsheng finally selected the best location.
