Chapter 200 A Natural Outcome
"Hu——"
Fang Chen opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air.
Looking up, the moonlight shone down through the skylight, falling on the Moon God Flower and Moon Spirit Grass below, and the light emitted by the two complemented each other, forming a beautiful picture.
But he didn't have the heart to appreciate it now.
After more than a month of continuous polishing of his cultivation, his spirit and energy finally reached the peak of Qi training and he could start to try to build a foundation.
Without any hesitation, adjusting his breathing, Fang Chen took out a small porcelain bottle from the storage bag.
More than a month ago, it was also here that Ye Qingyang handed him this porcelain bottle, which contained a foundation-building pill.
At that time, his state had not yet fully met the requirements for building a foundation. Even if he had spiritual consciousness, second-level spiritual roots and foundation-building pills, he was theoretically 100% sure, but forcing the foundation would also have a considerable risk.
So he waited until today.
Polish everything about himself to perfection to ensure that the foundation is foolproof.
Pulling out the small stopper on the porcelain bottle, Fang Chen poured out a pill about the size of an egg yolk, opened his mouth and put it in his mouth, but did not hold it.
Then he closed his eyes and silently recited the general outline of the foundation-building part of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sutra.
This general outline was modified by Li Daoxuan based on the original breakthrough of the foundation-building period of the Five Elements Sutra, referring to the foundation-building period exercises purchased from Xingyue Sea, and relying on his understanding of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sutra.
Of course, it is not so good to want to transform mana into true essence just by relying on this general outline.
The general outline is just a trigger after all, and its purpose is to induce spiritual thoughts and mana to confront each other.
What is true essence?
It is liquid mana.
Therefore, it is undoubtedly a foolish dream to want it to transform itself, and it needs to rely on another kind of power to condense it.
Then let the mana become more and more condensed, and finally it can be transformed into true essence.
This other power is naturally spiritual thoughts.
As the mana becomes more and more condensed, the spirit has to condense itself in order to fight against it, so it will also be transformed into spiritual consciousness.
However, the spirit and the mana belong to the cultivator themselves, and it is not easy to let them fight against each other.
The general outline of breaking through the foundation-building period is to solve this problem.
Under the guidance of the general outline, the spirit and the mana will regard each other as enemies and continue to fight against each other, so as to condense themselves until the cultivator successfully builds the foundation.
Just looking at this process, you can know how difficult it is.
Many Qi training masters did not die of old age, but because the confrontation between the spirit and the mana was too intense during the foundation-building process, and they could not suppress it, which led to the devil.
Finally, they died on the way to break through the foundation.
In the world of cultivation, this situation is also quite common.
The biggest role of the foundation-building pill is that it can control the conflict between the mana and the spirit within a reasonable intensity, ensuring that it will not affect the cultivator himself, thereby increasing the success rate of foundation-building.
Even if the foundation-building fails, there will be no devil, which can save the cultivator's life.
With this information flashing through his mind, Fang Chen continued to recite the general outline silently. Soon, his spiritual thoughts and mana began to fight in his dantian.
To be precise, it should be spiritual consciousness.
Thanks to the feedback from the Blood God Vine during the breakthrough, his spiritual thoughts were transformed into spiritual consciousness in advance. Therefore, in the battle with mana, spiritual consciousness completely gained the upper hand.
Mana was defeated step by step. In order to fight against spiritual consciousness, under the pressure of spiritual consciousness, it began to gather together and curled up collectively in the mana cyclone.
Unfortunately, the spiritual consciousness was too powerful and directly pressed down on the entire mana cyclone, so that the entire cyclone began to slowly shrink under the pressure of spiritual consciousness.
The mana in it naturally became more condensed.
The mana vortex of the great perfection of Qi training was ten inches in diameter. At this moment, under the pressure of spiritual consciousness, it has become nine inches in diameter, the same volume as the mana vortex of the twelfth level of Qi training.
It’s just that the quality of the mana in it is far superior to the latter.
The spiritual consciousness was also relentless, and soon compressed the mana vortex to eight inches in radius.
This was definitely not the limit of the spiritual consciousness.
Not long after, the mana vortex was seven inches in radius.
Six inches in radius.
Five inches in radius.
Four inches in radius.
The mana vortex was getting smaller and smaller. Just when Fang Chen thought that he could successfully build his foundation without the help of the foundation-building pill, the spiritual consciousness stopped.
"What's going on?"
As soon as this thought came up, he figured it out.
The spiritual consciousness was too strong, and the mana vortex had no power to fight back. Therefore, even if the general outline triggered a conflict between the two, when one side had a strong advantage, the other side surrendered directly.
The mana vortex no longer resisted, and the spiritual consciousness stopped compressing the mana vortex.
"Fortunately, I was prepared early."
Ye Qingyang reminded him about this, and he naturally had a way to deal with it.
The second-level spiritual root entrenched in the Dantian emitted light and began to speed up the absorption of spiritual energy, and then injected the spiritual energy into the mana vortex, which was assimilated into mana.
With a constant supply of spiritual energy as a supplement, the mana cyclone finally stopped playing badly and continued to provoke the spiritual consciousness.
Of course, the spiritual consciousness did not tolerate it and immediately continued to compress the mana cyclone.
Soon, the entire mana cyclone became a three-inch square.
Fang Chen could see a trace of misty mana beginning to appear on the mana cyclone.
Mana has begun to transform into a business form and has the prototype of true essence.
The process of spiritual consciousness compressing the mana cyclone was also instantly hindered, and it began to get serious. With these mist-like powers between mana and true energy, the mana cyclone also became frightened and resisted desperately.
The second-level spiritual roots also absorb the spiritual energy from the outside world at the fastest speed, and even the spiritual energy in the Five Elements Cave inside is provided to the mana cyclone, allowing it to compete with the spiritual consciousness.
Suddenly, the Dantian became extremely lively.
Spiritual roots, Five Elements Cave, Mana Cyclone, and Spiritual Consciousness are fighting together. The first three have formed an alliance. Even though the Spiritual Consciousness is a power in the foundation-building stage, it is still somewhat powerless after the three join forces.
No matter how hard you try, you can't compress the legal whirlpool even half an inch.
This situation was unexpected by Fang Chen. He originally planned to use his second-level spiritual roots to quickly absorb the spiritual energy from the outside world as a backing for the mana vortex.
Possessing second-level spiritual roots in advance can increase the chance of a monk breaking through the foundation building stage. This is also the reason.
But no one expected that Five Elements Cave Heaven would also participate in this struggle.
You must know that there is a first-order high-grade spiritual vein in the Five Elements Cave Heaven, and the amount of spiritual energy can be said to be unlimited.
In an instant, the mana cyclone, which was originally in a weak position, can resist the compression of spiritual consciousness.
Even with these two major backings, the quality of the mana itself is not high and cannot play a role in polishing spiritual consciousness.
It also caused the whirlpool of spiritual consciousness and mana to stalemate in Fang Chen's Dantian.
This is obviously not what he wants to see.
So he planned to stop absorbing spiritual energy first and let his spiritual consciousness take over again.
Before he could do this, the spiritual consciousness had already begun to find allies on its own.
It just so happened that there was something in Fang Chen's dantian that could help him.
Ghostland Yinhuai.
The combined spiritual plant composed of eighteen Yin Ling locust trees and Jie Qiao Ling Bamboo contains a large ghost realm inside, and can also absorb spiritual energy and transform it into the power of Yin Ling.
And absorbing the power of Yin spirits can greatly increase the power of the soul.
The basis of spiritual consciousness is the power of the soul.
So the spiritual consciousness was doing two things, while continuing to suppress the mana whirlpool, it probed into the ghost realm.
"Ah? Master, what can I do for you?"
The penetration of spiritual consciousness was instantly sensed by the tree spirit, and he thought it was Fang Chen who wanted to know the current situation in the ghost realm.
"No, this is the spiritual consciousness that is out of the master's control. Oh, the master is building the foundation. Do you need the help of the power of the Yin spirit?"
After being confused at the beginning, he was proficient in soul power and immediately discovered the truth of the incident.
Immediately, the power of the Yin spirit that controlled the ghost realm was injected into this spiritual consciousness.
With the help of the Yin Spirit, the power of spiritual consciousness also increased greatly, and it continued to compress the mana cyclone.
Seeing this scene, Fang Chen did not stop absorbing the spiritual energy and continued to watch the changes.
Not long after, the mana cyclone continued to be compressed by spiritual consciousness to a radius of two inches.
At this time, the mana cyclone was already filled with mist-like mana.
It is no longer appropriate to call them mana. After all, the mist is already in a liquid state, but if you want to be called true energy, you need the mist to continue to condense.
Fang Chen then called it Half True Essence.
Anyway, it’s just an intermediate state, it doesn’t matter what it’s called.
After the whole body was transformed into half true essence, the confrontation between the mana vortex and the spiritual consciousness became more intense, and involved the spiritual roots in the Dantian, the Five Elements Cave and even the ghost realm.
Fang Chen felt that he couldn't control the struggle between the two.
It's possible to go crazy at any time.
However, the half-genuine cyclone is still compressed, and is about to become an inch in diameter, which will also represent the success of foundation building.
Even without the Foundation Establishment Pill, he still has a high probability of success.
However, to be on the safe side, Fang Chen still swallowed the Foundation Establishment Pill that had been in his mouth for a long time.
As the Foundation Establishment Pill was digested in the body, the semi-real energy cyclone and spiritual consciousness were replenished, but the intensity of the confrontation between the two decreased.
The semi-genuine cyclone was still being compressed, but it was no longer like it was at the beginning. He could feel his Dantian trembling every time it was compressed.
It seemed like there was a risk of explosion at any time.
With the help of the Foundation Establishment Pill, everything fell into place, and the spiritual consciousness successfully compressed the semi-real cyclone to a radius of one inch.
The originally free mist condensed together and turned into a drop of colorful water one inch in diameter.
This is true essence.
With the formation of true essence, spiritual consciousness was completely unable to affect Qi, and Fang Chen also stopped reciting the general outline silently.
Without the suppression of spiritual consciousness, this colorful water droplet rotated and formed a colorful vortex.
This is the true energy vortex of the foundation-building monk.
The spiritual consciousness left, but the absorption of spiritual energy by the spiritual roots did not stop. A steady stream of spiritual energy was injected into the vortex of true energy, turning into true energy and flowing in the Dantian.
"boom--"
When the amount of true energy was enough, there was a muffled sound in Dantian, and a ball of five-colored flames appeared in the center of the true energy vortex.
Really hot.
The sharp weapons of foundation-building monks can not only be used in combat, but can also assist in refining elixirs and refining weapons. They are more useful than charcoal made from ordinary spiritual wood.
The formation of true fire also means that Fang Chen has officially entered the ranks of foundation-building monks.
Just as he was about to finish his practice, some information suddenly came to his mind.
It has something to do with his ability to bestow spiritual plant characteristics.
