Chapter 16 Huangfu Family
"Hey, how can it be so easy to build a foundation?"
"To be honest, Xuan had already hit the foundation building bottleneck a few months ago. Unfortunately, he made a bad move. Not only did he fail to succeed, but he was seriously injured and his vitality was damaged."
"My grandfather arranged for me to recuperate my body in Zhenbao Pavilion and take care of the shop to exercise my mind. However, this time I failed. I don't know if I will have the chance to hit the foundation building stage again before I turn sixty."
Huangfu Xuan recounted his failure experience with a bitter look on his face.
Qi Yunxian also looked in disbelief when he heard this, and asked with some doubts,
"Did you, fellow Taoist Huangfu, go straight to the foundation-building stage without taking the foundation-building pill?"
With the talent of Huangfu Xuan's high-grade spiritual root, even without the foundation-building pill, there is a 60% certainty that he can achieve foundation-building.
With the financial resources of the Huangfu family, even if he could get a foundation-building pill with one pattern, which would increase his chance of success by 30%, it would increase his chance of success to 90%. How could there be a chance of failure?
Could there be other unknown secrets happening in it?
"Hey, this matter is also difficult to explain."
Huangfu Xuan also told the story with a bitter look on his face.
"As early as a year ago, my Huangfu family secretly purchased a foundation-building pill with one pattern, and my grandfather personally took it back. However, I don't know when the news was leaked. On the way, I was intercepted and killed by a monk in the late stage of foundation-building.
The twelfth uncle and the third uncle who went with him were directly killed. My grandfather had no choice but to lead the enemy away with the Foundation Establishment Pill. But even so, he could not save the Foundation Establishment Pill, and he returned seriously injured. He has not been able to survive until now. Complete recovery. "
"That Foundation-Building Pill has consumed the entire Huangfu family's accumulation of more than ten years. It also caused Xuan's uncle to die and his grandfather to be seriously injured. How can I dare to ask the family to buy a second Foundation-Building Pill for me? I can only try Just build the foundation directly, but it’s a pity that I have a 40% chance of failure because of my shallow luck.”
Qi Yunxian was also sighing after hearing this, and casually said with relief,
"Fellow Daoist Huangfu, you are only over forty years old this year. Even if you fail this time, after your vitality is restored, before your sixtieth birthday, you will still have a chance to attack the foundation. Based on your experience of failure last time, you will definitely be able to do it next time. It’s a sure thing, don’t take this failure too seriously.”
The sixty-year limit mentioned by Qi Yunxian refers to the age limit for monks to build foundations during their Qi training period. Once a cultivator exceeds the age of sixty, his blood energy will also begin to decline due to age.
It is recognized in the world of immortality that the optimal age for Qi training and foundation building is before sixty. After that, the probability of attacking the foundation will drop crazily, with almost no possibility of success unless the person can find some heavenly material and earthly treasure to take.
Otherwise, even if you have Tianpin spiritual roots, you will not be able to break this age limit.
During the Qi refining period, the life expectancy is about 125 years.
The foundation period doubled to two hundred and fifty years.
The Zifu period increased to five hundred years.
The golden elixir has a longevity of one thousand years.
Yuanying's longevity soared to three thousand years.
It is said that the best ones can live up to 10,000 years.
Therefore, when cultivators break through the realm, the younger the better. The younger you are, the higher your potential is. It is also during the Qi training period to break through to foundation building. However, Qi Yunxian's breakthrough in his teens in his previous life is completely different from the monks who only broke through in their fifties. Not a concept.
In this way, the importance of spiritual root talent to monks is highlighted.
Considering the cultivation speed of lower-grade spiritual roots, there are not enough cultivation resources to support him. By the time he reaches the peak of Qi refining, his age will have already exceeded the sixty limit, and there is no chance of breaking through the foundation building.
If you cultivate your middle-grade spiritual roots normally, you will at least have a chance to hit the foundation building stage.
High-grade and ground-grade spiritual roots often have more than one opportunity to build a foundation.
As for Tianpin spiritual roots below the golden elixir stage, there will basically be no bottleneck. As long as the cultivation level is reached, the breakthrough will be successful.
In the world of immortality cultivation, 80% of the spiritual roots of those who cultivate immortality are low-grade spiritual roots.
Among the remaining 20%, most of them are middle-grade spiritual roots.
High-grade spiritual roots can be said to be one of a kind.
The earth-grade spiritual roots and heaven-grade spiritual roots on it are even rarer.
Generally, among forces that do not have Golden Elixir and Nascent Soul in charge,
The middle-grade spiritual roots are the mainstay among them.
For example, among the twelve contemporary foundation-building monks of the Qi family, there are only three with high-grade spiritual roots. One of them is Qi Yongren, the head of the Qi family. The rest have medium-grade spiritual roots. Among the elders of the Keqing family, only the head of the Huangfu family is Huangfuqi is a top-grade spiritual root.
"Then I'll lend you some good advice. Since fellow Daoist Yunxian is on the second floor, he must be trying to purchase the best magic weapon!"
Huangfu Xuan asked with a smile,
"Yes, I want a top-quality magic weapon in the spirit sword category, as well as an alchemy furnace."
Qi Yunxian also went straight to the point and stated his needs directly.
Huangfu Xuan looked at him with some confusion and continued,
"As far as I know, Taoist Yunxian doesn't know how to make elixirs! To be honest, the Foundation Establishment Pill last time was sold to my family. I sold many top-quality magic weapons before I purchased a Foundation Establishment Pill from other auctions. , There are not many top-quality magic weapons in the store at the moment.”
Huangfu Xuan waved his hand and several brocade boxes appeared on the tea table.
He opened the brocade boxes one by one, revealing the top-quality magic weapons inside.
"As expected of the Huangfu family, in terms of the number of magic weapons, apart from the Qi family's treasure house, it is probably the highest on Baiyun Island! I have recently become interested in alchemy, so I am looking for an alchemy furnace everywhere."
Qi Yunxian looked at the top-quality magic weapon in front of him and said,
"So that's how it is. According to your requirements, the best magic weapons of the spirit sword type are rare, and last time my family sold a lot of best magic weapons to buy foundation-building pills. Now only this Moon-Watching Sword meets your requirements."
Qi Yunxian carefully checked and found that although this sword is a best magic weapon, it is a water-attributed magic weapon, which conflicts with his attributes. It is not impossible to use it, but it cannot exert all its strength.
"Although this sword is good, I have both fire and wood spiritual roots, and the cultivation method I practice is also a fire-attributed method. Under the conflict of water and fire, it can only exert 80% of its power at most."
For this kind of magic weapon containing the power of the five elements, it is better to use a magic weapon with the same attributes as your own, which can not only maximize all the power, but even exert a stronger power beyond the ordinary.
"That's really unavoidable. This furnace does have a top-grade magic weapon with fire attribute."
Huangfu Xuan saw that Qi Yunxian was not even interested in testing the sword, and knew that he did not like the Moon-Watching Sword, so he turned around and began to introduce the furnace.
"This Yanyun Ding was originally reserved by a certain alchemist, but unfortunately, after the ancestor was injured last time, the refining of the weapon was not normal, causing the low-grade spiritual weapon originally intended to be refined to drop in grade unexpectedly and become a top-grade magic weapon.
But the material of this top-grade magic weapon is completely made according to the spiritual weapon, so the price is higher than the magic weapon of the same level. Considering our friendship, this furnace can be sold to you for 8,000 spirit stones."
