Chapter 176 The Path to Foundation Building (Part 3)
Lin Changsheng said with a resolute face: "I don't mean to back down. Senior Sister Xue, you have a top-grade spiritual root, so of course you don't care much about the foundation-building stage."
A female cultivator with a cute face also said:
"Yes, yes, Senior Brother Changsheng is right. The foundation-building stage is said to be extremely dangerous. I only have a mid-grade spiritual root.
Sister Xue broke through to the ninth level of Qi Refining a few days ago. She is also a cultivator with a top-grade spiritual root. The foundation-building stage is a sure thing."
This cute female cultivator is Yue Lingshan.
Xue Yubing glanced at Lin Changsheng with some disdain, but after seeing Yue Lingshan's somewhat dissatisfied expression, she stopped making sarcastic remarks.
After all, she has a good relationship with Yue Lingshan and likes Yue Lingshan's playful personality.
A mere low-grade spiritual root dares to talk about the foundation-building stage. It's just a bit of luck.
Otherwise, how could she discuss the Dao with her at the same table.
"I wonder how many people there were back then, and how many are still seeking the immortal path now."
Xue Yubing's thoughts drifted to Juexian Island, and to the several 'fellow villagers' who were on the same spiritual ship at that time.
It's just that Xue Yubing's master didn't allow her to help others before she had completed her cultivation.
Her master was the first deputy head of the Dan Hall, a second-level top-grade alchemist, and a rare female cultivator--Master Qingxia!
Master Qingxia's name was Xue Qingxia. Coincidentally, she and Xue Yubing both had the surname Xue, and her cultivation was in the late stage of foundation building!
She hated evil as much as she hated the heartless man, and hated the male cultivators who had no real ability and could only rely on women.
Therefore, Xue Yubing also learned some of her master's temperament.
Just then, the scene of the backflow of spiritual energy in the distance suddenly became more intense!
It was like the waves in the wind, surging.
The spiritual energy gathered into a column like a substance, rushing straight into the sky.
The strength of that force was guiding the endless spiritual energy to gather crazily in a certain direction.
Di Huaiyi exclaimed: "Look, the backflow of spiritual energy has intensified! This kind of phenomenon is definitely not ordinary.
It seems that the consciousness and body of this fellow have completely adapted to the intensity of the backflow of spiritual energy.
Now it is quickly replenishing the mana in the body and enriching the spiritual lake in the dantian!"
The disciples around also cast envious eyes.
The spectacular scene of the backflow of spiritual energy is both a yearning and a challenge for them.
After all, the road to foundation building is difficult and difficult, and being able to witness such a wonder is undoubtedly an encouragement.
The others also showed envy, even the arrogant Xue Yubing was no exception.
Although she is outstanding in talent and has a high-grade spiritual root.
But for them, foundation building is the most desirable and practical thing.
Because the formation of the elixir is still too far away for them, foundation building is the realm they want to achieve most at present.
Lin Changsheng said with some sourness: "It's so easy to carry the spiritual energy backflow. I think his spiritual roots are extremely active. He should also be a top-grade spiritual root. What a great talent!"
There was a hint of jealousy in his tone.
Di Huaiyi ignored Lin Changsheng's sourness and said: "Since we have encountered it, we must go and congratulate him! We can also get some 'Master's money'.
Looking at the situation, it is estimated that it will be over in half a day. Let's wait. Maybe it will be a senior brother we have met."
'Master's money' is a custom of Ningxuan Sect.
The newly promoted foundation-building master will give some 'Master's money' to the disciples who gathered around to watch the ceremony.
The amount is not much, it is a good start and good luck.
His proposal was responded to by everyone, and everyone nodded.
They all decided to go to the place where the spiritual energy was backflowing and witness this lucky event of foundation building with their own eyes.
This may be a 'new thing' that may not be encountered once a year.
So, everyone followed the weather of the spiritual energy backflow.
The direction where the spiritual energy gathered was not far away, only about ten miles away.
When they arrived, they found that there were twenty or thirty inner disciples waiting to watch the celestial phenomenon of "spiritual energy backflow".
These inner disciples were envious, and some had longing in their eyes.
Among the seven or eight hundred inner disciples of Ningxuan Sect, only one in ten could build a foundation.
This was already very good.
Under normal circumstances, the probability of a Qi-refining cultivator being able to build a foundation was rare.
They were either standing or sitting, some closed their eyes to rest, and some talked in a low voice, but all of them cast their eyes towards the place where the spiritual energy was backflowing.
Di Huaiyi and others also joined the waiting team, and they didn't know whose cave this "Qingyunju" was.
Most of the day passed quietly in the waiting and discussion of the crowd.
Suddenly, a burst of unrestrained laughter broke the silence around.
"Hahahahaha!"
This laughter was full of joy and pride.
Then, a strong pressure swept out uncontrollably.
Like a violent storm, it swept everything around.
This pressure was sometimes close, sometimes far, sometimes high, sometimes low.
It was obvious that its owner was not very good at controlling his own breath and pressure.
The surrounding Qi Refining cultivators were swept by this sudden pressure, and they immediately looked uncomfortable.
Although the cultivators in the late Qi Refining stage could still stand, their faces became a little ugly.
The cultivators in the middle Qi Refining stage were even more embarrassed. Some of those with poor willpower and perseverance even showed signs of collapsing.
This is the difference in life level!
It's like a tiger standing in front of some dogs. The more ferocious dogs can still maintain their combat power, while the weaker dogs are estimated to have their legs soft.
Di Huaiyi and Xue Yubing couldn't help but move when they heard this familiar laughter.
They seemed to have heard this laughter somewhere before, but they couldn't remember it for a moment.
Di Huaiyi said uncertainly: "This voice seems a little familiar, maybe I have seen it before, I have to ask for more 'Master's money' later."
Xue Yubing nodded, frowned slightly and said:
"Indeed, I also feel a little familiar. But which inner sect senior brother could it be? No, now I should call him uncle."
After the pressure lasted for a while, it was as if the huge waves in the sea gradually subsided.
The door of 'Qingyunju' slowly opened.
A figure walked out from inside, wearing the robes of the inner sect disciples of Ningxuan Sect.
This person is Qingchen.
Qingchen's body slowly rose into the air without the help of any magic weapon.
He relied on his own magic power to float steadily in the air.
Standing in the air, the master of foundation building!
Seeing this, the inner disciples around him bowed and saluted, and congratulated loudly:
"Congratulations, uncle, you have successfully built your foundation and have enjoyed two hundred years of freedom. You can expect to become an immortal!"
Qingchen was suspended in the air, feeling the congratulations from all around, and a comfortable smile appeared on his face.
He couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions in his heart.
Once upon a time, he was still an insignificant little cultivator in the early stage of Qi training.
He was always cautious when facing the inner disciples, for fear of offending them accidentally.
But now, these inner disciples who were once high and mighty.
But they saluted him respectfully one by one, it's really unpredictable!
"No need to be polite, all the nephews should practice well and strengthen the prestige of our Ningxuan Sect!"
