The sky is clear and the air is fresh at a high altitude.
A cloud boat was speeding in the wind, with clouds and mist flying upside down on both sides.
The girl at the bow was dressed in white clothes as white as snow, with her body covered in frost. She was usually calm and composed, but at this moment, her eyes were bright as she stared in the direction of Tianyan Sect.
"Lu Nanzhi, slow down. Shen Huaixi has vomited."
At the back of the cloud boat, a handsome and spirited young man, also dressed in white, was supporting another young man in white and patting him on the back.
"Ugh~ I'm sorry, I'm really dizzy~"
Shen Huaixi was holding the wooden barrel, originally with a smile of vitality on his face, but now he looked listless and lifeless after vomiting.
"You studied medicine, can't you find a way to cure your strange disease? You might as well change your name to Shen Huaixi. You vomit like you're pregnant."
Shen Huaixi smiled and apologized, "Sorry, sorry, I made you sick~"
Xie Jingshan shook his head repeatedly, walked to the bow and tugged at Lu Nanzhi's sleeve.
"Can you slow down? Since Jiang Yuebai has returned to the sect, she can't run away. She is not an inner sect disciple who can leave the sect at will. What are you afraid of?"
Lu Nanzhi glanced over, and Xie Jingshan subconsciously shrank his neck, saying in a weak voice: "It's been five years, and you still blame me? Isn't she fine?"
"If anything happened to her, you'd be dead."
Xie Jingshan was furious, "You two are friends, but you are not friends with me! You are worried about her, and I am worried too. She was the one who insisted on leaving in the first place, so how could I tie her up?"
Lu Nanzhi said nothing, and Xie Jingshan sat down with his hands in his pockets, looking aggrieved.
He really didn't know that the mine was so dangerous. When he and Lu Nanzhi went to the mine to look for Jiang Yuebai, he was stunned when he heard that she was missing.
That was also the first time he saw Lu Nanzhi crying like a real child, standing helplessly in front of the mine, distraught.
He even went to ask his ancestor to buy the Yinshan Mine so that he could mobilize everyone to find Jiang Yuebai, but ended up being scolded by his ancestor.
It was then that he realized that there were still things in this world that his ancestors and the spirit stones could not resolve.
After all, he was indeed wrong for not forcing Jiang Yuebai to stay.
"Hey, you said that she has been in the mine for five years. Wouldn't her cultivation level have fallen behind too much?" Xie Jingshan asked cautiously.
Just now at the mine, when Lu Nanzhi heard that Jiang Yuebai had returned to the sect, he turned around and left, and he didn't have the time to ask any further questions.
"No, no matter where she is, she will definitely seize every opportunity to practice."
Xie Jingshan nodded, "That's good. You are now at the eighth level of Qi training, and I am at the seventh level. Our training environment is better than hers. Even if I win, I will be embarrassed to ask her to call me senior brother. I always feel that the victory is unfair."
Lu Nanzhi glanced down at Xie Jingshan and rolled his eyes.
"You, you, you roll your eyes just like Jiang Yuebai. You are no longer the Lu Nanzhi who used to be indifferent to worldly matters."
"The fireworks of the world are not as delicious as the food of the world."
Coo coo
Lu Nanzhi held his stomach and said, "I'm hungry. Let's hurry back to the sect and eat!"
“… … ”
"Senior Sister Lu, please, don't speed up anymore~"
＊
Spring is in full swing, with grass growing and birds singing.
The backyard of Wanfa Hall is full of peach blossoms, in full bloom.
The bamboo curtain was half rolled up, and the two of them sat opposite each other in the corridor, fetching water to make tea.
Boom!
Jiang Yuebai threw something on the table, causing the teacup to vibrate.
When Li Jiuchuan saw the booklet that was thicker than his head, he almost lost his composure and spit out the tea in his mouth.
"Is this the little problem you mentioned?"
Jiang Yuebai took a look, scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.
"It seems a bit too much, but it's not all text. There are also some battle formations, runes, puppet diagrams and so on. I forgot to bring a blank jade slip when I went there, so I could only write it down with charcoal on bamboo paper I made. After five years, I have remembered so much without realizing it."
Li Jiuchuan put down the teacup and pinched his brows, "I am not very knowledgeable, if there are some questions that I cannot answer, please don't force it. I am also a cultivator, not an omniscient heavenly way."
"Well, I'll start asking questions then."
Jiang Yuebai took out a fasting pill and ate it. Li Jiuchuan had a very ominous premonition when he saw this.
Sure enough, Jiang Yuebai is still the curious girl with many questions and asks endless questions.
Li Jiuchuan was able to talk fluently at first, but as the questions became more and more serious, he gradually found it difficult, and finally had to go into the house to find a book and look for arguments in the book.
(Picture from book friend [Soy Sauce 0 Fatty])
The sun rises and the moon sets, the moon sets and the sun rises.
So on the evening of the seventh day, Li Jiuchuan poured out the tasteless old tea and took new tea, but found nothing.
He picked up the tea can and turned it over. It was empty. This was the one he had just bought.
Click!
The teapot cracked due to continuous burning for days.
"… I understand here. The next question is also the one I have never dared to try. If I pinch one seal with each hand and combine the two seals at the last moment, what kind of changes will occur?"
"How would I know? A Jindan cultivator doesn't need to make hand gestures when casting a spell."
Li Jiuchuan held the teapot, feeling a little irritable, and his voice was a little hoarse.
"Elder Li, is there something wrong with my question?"
"No."
Jiang Yuebai glanced at the teacup, his eyes moved slightly, and continued: "It's not difficult to pinch the seal with one hand, it just takes long-term practice. Watch me show you..."
Li Jiuchuan: … …
After taking a breath, Li Jiuchuan interrupted, "In the mortal world, there is a etiquette of serving tea to see off guests. You have been to the Lin Mansion before, haven't you seen it?"
"Miss of the Back House, where did these rules come from? Thank you Elder Li for your guidance. I have learned something new."
Li Jiuchuan raised his eyebrows, so what
"… I've always wanted to try it but I didn't dare to, for fear that it would explode and hurt myself. Otherwise, can you help me watch and let me try what happens when the two techniques collide?"
Li Jiuchuan held his forehead with his hand, "How many weird things have you learned in that valley in the past five years to have so many weird questions?"
Jiang Yuebai was stunned, "How do you know I'm in the valley..."
Li Jiuchuan sat up straight and looked at Jiang Yuebai, "No matter how useless I am, I am still a Jindan Zhenren. No matter how big the Yinshan Mine is, I will mobilize my spiritual sense with all my strength and scan it a few more times and I will always be able to find places that others cannot find."
"How do you think Xuan Cheng Zhenren, who was in seclusion at the bottom of the mine, could ensure that there would be no problems in the mine?"
"I see. No wonder you only went there once and never came to see me again. Let's continue talking about the one-handed hand gesture."
“… … ”
This went on for another three days. Li Jiuchuan held up his head with a lifeless look, his eyes tired and distracted.
"… It turns out that the bottleneck between the seventh and eighth levels of Qi training is because the spiritual energy to temper the body is close to the limit. Continuing to do so will have little effect. The spiritual energy should be collected in the Dantian, and the inner wall of the Dantian should be strengthened to prepare for the foundation building in advance…"
Jiang Yuebai suddenly realized, and his whole body was filled with spiritual energy.
"Elder Li, my bottleneck is loosening and I am about to break through. Can you lend me your quiet room?"
Li Jiuchuan's eyes lit up again, he straightened his body and raised his hand to point.
Seeing Jiang Yuebai trotting into the house, Li Jiuchuan considerately closed the door for her and opened the spirit gathering array, and also locked a layer of barrier on the outside.
After doing all this, Li Jiuchuan let out a long sigh, as if he had been pardoned.
He admired Jiang Yuebai's intelligence and thoughtfulness, and wanted to do his best to help her, but it was too tiring.
Li Jiuchuan looked away and saw that there was only one-third of the book left on the table, and his breathing paused.
Li Jiuchuan tried hard to maintain his composure, pursed his lips, picked up the pen, wrote a few lines of not-so-peaceful large characters, slapped them on the table, then left with a flick of his sleeves.
[Old illness relapses and requires seclusion for an indeterminate period of time]
[In addition: Practicing Qi from level eight to level nine and then reaching perfection is a slow process, five or six years is not too long. In addition to practicing, you should also plan a good recipe for building the foundation early, and foundation-building pills are also indispensable.]
[Five Spiritual Roots Foundation Building, to get to the third-grade Daoist platform, at least five foundation-building pills must be prepared. The top three in the minor competition can get one, and the rest can be planned by yourself]
When Jiang Yuebai successfully broke through to the eighth level of Qi training and came out of the quiet room, he saw the note on the table, curled his lips and frowned.
She really should plan to build a foundation.
The so-called foundation-building is to build an immortal foundation platform in the Dantian. This is the first step to go against the heavens, and one will face two major hurdles: the inner demon and the prohibition of heaven and earth.
To let go of worldly ties and cut off inner demons is a matter of spiritual enlightenment. It depends on personal fate and others cannot interfere.
The Forbidden Heaven and Earth Society will constantly destroy the immortal foundation of a cultivator when he is building it, for a total of nine times, leaving nine marks.
The fewer traces there are, the higher the quality of the foundation.
Nine marks and ninth level means that the foundation-building efforts are wasted, and one’s life will stop at the initial stage of foundation-building.
Eight marks and eighth grade can reach the middle stage of foundation building, and seven marks and seventh grade can reach the late stage of foundation building. This is the lower three grades of foundation building, and there is no hope of golden elixir.
The middle three grades are: the sixth grade enters the golden elixir, the fifth grade strives for the Nascent Soul, and the fourth grade stops at the divine transformation.
Only by building a foundation of the top three can one hope to reach the top of the avenue. The higher the quality, the smoother and further the road ahead will be.
Jiang Yuebai has five spiritual roots, so he will have to gather five Taoist platforms in his dantian. The more Taoist platforms there are, the more cracks there will be.
The key to repairing the Taoist platform is the Foundation Establishment Pill, whose medicinal power can enhance spiritual energy, help fight against the prohibitions of heaven and earth, and accelerate the repair of cracks after they occur.
What Jiang Yuebai wanted was naturally the third-grade foundation-building pill, so she had to prepare at least five foundation-building pills.
That was why she cultivated a large amount of land in Huaxi Valley to earn contribution points for the sect.
There are only three ways to obtain Foundation Establishment Pills: making them yourself, buying them from the market auction house, or from a sect.
The first two are too difficult and may not yield results even if they consume huge amounts of resources. Only the sect produces Foundation Establishment Pills stably every year. The price of these pills is higher than that of the Ten-Year Longevity Pill, at 50,000 contribution points per pill.
Many cultivators start planning from the middle stage of Qi training, constantly accepting sect missions to accumulate contribution points. It may take five or six years at the fastest, or ten years at the slowest, to exchange for one.
She could rely on the sect for the foundation-building pill, but there was no good recipe for foundation-building in the "Five Elements Return to Truth". Once the plan for Huaxi Valley was finalized, she would go to explore the place her grandfather mentioned.
If there is a harvest, you can farm with peace of mind and prepare for the competition.
Jiang Yuebai put away his things, glanced at Li Jiuchuan's teacup, and smiled slyly.
"Serving tea and seeing off guests, of course I know."
But during her five years at the mine, she had so many spiritual questions that no one could answer. In the Tianyan Sect, only Elder Li treated her the best and with the most patience.
In the future, when she becomes powerful, she will definitely repay Elder Li. Now, she has offended him first!
Leaving behind a gourd of four seasons spirit wine each, Jiang Yuebai left humming a little tune. He had gained a lot in the past few days, which would be of great use to the next planning of Huaxi Valley.
