Chapter 185 Foundation Building Success

But the road of cultivation has always been a pyramid.

This means that at every step of this road, someone will fall.

Those who received the foundation-building pill but failed to build the foundation have undoubtedly become the paving stones on this road.

And once the foundation-building fails, it means that you have also lost the qualification to participate in the "Five Prisons Illusion" trial, which basically means that the road of cultivation is cut off.

This is also an extremely helpless thing. After all, even for the five major sects, the resources of cultivation are limited, and the foundation-building pill is extremely precious. Each foundation-building pill represents an opportunity for life evolution.

It is precisely because of the scarcity of the foundation-building pill that it is almost impossible for a person to be given multiple foundation-building pills.

Even for outer disciples with earth spirit roots, the same is true. However, as long as outer disciples with earth spirit roots get a foundation-building pill, the probability of successfully building the foundation is still very high.

Of course, if it is a heavenly spirit root, even if you don't take the foundation-building pill, there is a high probability that you can successfully build the foundation.

But such geniuses are always very rare.

For most of the outer disciples of Dancao Mountain, they cannot escape the path of building a foundation with the help of the foundation-building pill.

In just one month, Dancao Mountain has more than a dozen foundation-building cultivators. These are more than a dozen people who have stood out from more than a hundred people who have obtained the foundation-building pill through the cave trial and the five-prison illusion trial.

Of course, there are some overlaps between the two. They have not only passed the cave trial, but also passed the five-prison illusion trial, so like Xiao Lin, one person has obtained two foundation-building pills.

The probability of such people successfully building a foundation is undoubtedly much higher than that of cultivators who have only obtained one foundation-building pill.

In a year, more than a dozen foundation-building cultivators are naturally a happy event for Dancao Mountain, but the senior leaders of Dancao Mountain are also very clear that the reason why there are more than a dozen foundation-building disciples this time is mainly because of the opening of the cave trial.

In the future, it will be very good to have a few foundation-building disciples every year.

Those outer disciples who had successfully established their foundation naturally received the sect's welfare with great joy, and then left the foot of the mountain where they had lived for a long time, either going to the palaces on the mountainside or going outside the mountain to open up their own caves.

A month later, with the departure of these disciples who had successfully established their foundation, the bottom of the entire Dancao Mountain calmed down again.

......

Xiao Lin, who had been sitting in the stone chamber with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, and two divine lights flashed and disappeared.

He stared at the wall in the stone chamber for a long time, and his face was full of doubts.

After taking two foundation-building pills in succession and breaking through in a closed-door manner for a month, Xiao Lin couldn't even tell whether it was a success or a failure.

After taking two foundation-building pills and breaking through the bottleneck in a closed-door manner for a month, Xiao Lin now felt much lighter, and the mana in his dantian had also turned into a viscous state of gas and liquid.

According to the information Xiao Lin got from those foundation-building seniors in the Chuanfa Building, it seemed that only when the mana in the dantian had all turned into liquid could it be considered a successful foundation.

Xiao Lin thought for a long time before guessing that his current state should be the legendary eleventh level of Qi Refining, also known as the semi-foundation state. If he had one or two more foundation-building pills, Xiao Lin believed that he would definitely be able to enter the foundation-building stage immediately.

This feeling made Xiao Lin feel uncomfortable. It was like a person swimming in a river, and his legs suddenly cramped when he was about to reach the shore.

"It seems that it is time to refine the foundation-building pill." After thinking for a moment, Xiao Lin muttered to himself.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lin closed his eyes again, and a moment later, he appeared in the spirit wood space.

Looking at the lush purple spirit flowers in front of him, Xiao Lin's gloomy face finally had a smile. He took out a bunch of jade boxes from the storage bag beside him and began to pick purple spirit flowers and dust-cleansing grass.

It took more than an hour to pick the two main medicinal materials for refining the foundation-building pill and put them into a storage bag.

After doing all this, Xiao Lin came to the central sapling, flicked the tender leaf, and left the spiritual wood space.

Xiao Lin stood up after returning to the stone chamber again. He left the stone chamber and headed straight to the halfway point of Qingzhu Peak.

There are several earth fire rooms on the halfway point of Qingzhu Peak, which are specially rented out to disciples in the sect for alchemy and refining. The reason why Xiao Lin did not go to the alchemy room on the spiritual field of Qingdan Peak was mainly because he was worried that the process of refining the foundation-building pill would be discovered by Master Tao.

Although Master Tao rarely came to the spiritual field, Xiao Lin decided to rent an earth fire room to refine the foundation-building pill just in case, and he could also break through directly in it.

After paying 100 low-grade spirit stones, Xiao Lin entered the stone chamber. After passing through a long corridor, he came to a mountain belly. After the Dragon-breaking Stone fell, the mountain belly was completely isolated from the outside world.

This kind of underground fire room is extremely hidden and safe. Many outer disciples in the Qi Refining Stage will choose to retreat in this underground fire room when they are building their foundation.

The underground fire room that Xiao Lin chose is the one with the most stable underground fire among these underground fire rooms, and Xiao Lin directly spent 100 low-grade spirit stones to rent it for half a year.

In Xiao Lin's opinion, half a year was enough time for him to refine the foundation-building pill and successfully build the foundation.

Looking at the underground fire pool in front of him, the underground fire pool was just a small hole about a foot square, covered with a piece of black metal with a little red on it.

Xiao Lin lightly touched the black metal, and the black metal flew up and landed steadily on the side.

Dark red flames spurted out from the small hole about a foot square, and the temperature in the entire mountain belly rose a lot at once.

Xiao Lin gently patted the storage bag on his waist, and a silver-shining alchemy furnace flew out and landed on the small hole, splashing a cloud of smoke and dust.

Looking at the purple silver furnace that was constantly being heated, Xiao Lin silently took out the medicinal materials for refining the foundation-building pill from the storage bag one by one and placed them on the open space beside him.

Then Xiao Lin sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and entered a state of meditation.

......

Three months later, Xiao Lin looked at the three jade bottles beside him with a gloomy face. He held a green elixir the size of a pigeon egg in his hand. The whole mountain was shrouded in a faint fragrance, refreshing.

Xiao Lin looked at the three jade bottles, and his face showed a little depression.

For three months, Xiao Lin refined no less than fifty furnaces of foundation-building pills, but only three furnaces succeeded, a total of twenty-one foundation-building pills.

This success rate made Xiao Lin ashamed. If the task of refining foundation-building pills was given to him after the cave trial, I am afraid that the five major sects would directly break the inheritance. According to his current success rate, it is less than half.

Although a little depressed, Xiao Lin did not feel bad. Although the success rate of refining foundation-building pills was so low that he blushed, after all, he refined twenty-one foundation-building pills, which was enough for his foundation-building.

Xiao Lin first put away the purple silver furnace, cleaned up the medicine residue that was splashed everywhere, and then sat cross-legged again, closed his eyes and entered a meditative state.

Three days later, Xiao Lin woke up from his meditation. After a moment of hesitation, he poured out a foundation-building pill from the jade bottle beside him and gently put it into his mouth...

One month later.

Xiao Lin drove the Seven Blades Slash and flew in the sea of ​​clouds. His eyebrows were full of energy. Feeling the majestic mana in his body, looking at the scenery above the sea of ​​clouds in the distance, Xiao Lin couldn't help but let out a long howl.

The howl echoed between heaven and earth, and the white clouds within a few dozen feet around Xiao Lin also rolled and disappeared in the howl.

More than half a month ago, after taking the third foundation-building pill, the mana in Xiao Lin's dantian finally turned into liquid. At that moment, Xiao Lin felt a trance, and then he was surprised to find that the world had changed in his perception.

Everything became clear in his eyes. In Xiao Lin's view, it was as if a layer of translucent window paper was blocking his eyes in the past. Although he could see clearly, it was always a little blurry.

Now, as long as Xiao Lin wanted, he could hear the sound of insects and ants more than ten feet away clearly.

At the moment of entering the foundation-building period, Xiao Lin's spiritual power also skyrocketed. Originally, it could only cover a range of thirty feet. After entering the foundation-building period, this distance suddenly expanded to two or three hundred feet away, which means that his spiritual power has increased by at least ten times.

Not only that, after entering the foundation-building period, the mana in Xiao Lin's Dantian was at least ten times stronger than that of the great perfection of the Qi Refining Period. Now Xiao Lin finally understood why the first of the Nine Evils of Snow Ridge was proud of escaping from the hands of the foundation-building cultivator.

In Xiao Lin's opinion, with his current combat power, if he wanted to kill a cultivator who had reached the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage, even without using a spiritual weapon, a primary spell would be enough to turn him into ashes.

The exhilarating feeling brought by this life level upgrade made Xiao Lin intoxicated and unable to extricate himself for a long time.

After building his foundation, Xiao Lin was able to break through the forbidden air ban of Dancao Mountain and fly with a weapon. It can be said that this is also a privilege given by Dancao Mountain to the disciples of the foundation building stage in the sect.

Driving the Seven Blades Slash, Xiao Lin turned into a huge dark green light that was more than ten feet long and headed towards Qingdan Peak.

After building his foundation, the Seven Blades Slash in Xiao Lin's hand was finally able to exert its full power. The smooth feeling of controlling it made Xiao Lin feel very comfortable.

In almost an instant, dozens of miles of mountain roads whizzed by, and Xiao Lin landed on the square in front of the Merit Hall.

Seeing Xiao Lin descending from the sky, several Qi Refining Outer Disciples who were close to him all bowed and called him "Senior." Those who were far away all looked at Xiao Lin with envy, which greatly satisfied Xiao Lin's vanity.

With a cold face, Xiao Lin nodded indifferently, and then went straight to the Cangzhen Hall.

After entering the Cangzhen Hall, Xiao Lin swaggered past the many Qi Refining Outer Disciples who were queuing up and came to the window.

The man at the window saw that Xiao Lin didn't queue up and came directly to the window. He was about to show dissatisfaction on his face, but when he sensed the huge spiritual pressure emanating from Xiao Lin, his face immediately turned pale and he forced a smile on his face.

"It turns out to be the senior. I wonder what the senior wants you to do?"

After sensing the aura of a Foundation Establishment cultivator on Xiao Lin, the Qi Refining Outer Disciples queuing up next to him were all shocked, and hurriedly made way for him, while bowing to Xiao Lin.

He glanced at the man coldly, and the changes in his expression were naturally seen by Xiao Lin. While feeling secretly happy, he said lightly: "I just broke through, and now I am here to change my token."

As he spoke, Xiao Lin threw his Outer Disciple's token over.

"I see, please wait a moment, Senior." The envy on his face flashed away, and the man hurriedly took Xiao Lin's Outer Disciple's token and went into the stone chamber behind.
