The knight in the abyss

Chapter 37 The Three Methods of Building Foundations

"I'm sorry, Pluto, this idiot, hasn't grasped the essentials for so long. I'm afraid it's difficult to explain it to you in one or two sentences." Let the latter cover his head in grievance. "My current position is a senior craftsman. There will be a day off in four days. I will accompany you at that time. However, I need to report this to the artisan committee first, apply for access to their mine records, and find the most likely The place."

"Then it's settled, we can just use these few days to recharge our batteries." Lancelot put his hand into his pocket, "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I want to ask you."

Facing the doubtful gaze from the old dwarf, he shoved three clear sapphires into Barende's hands.

"I need a one-handed longsword for fighting in a relatively small space, and this is my advance payment."

"How can this work!" Barende refused to accept it. "You are our savior, and I must refuse this money."

"I will order a lot of weapons and equipment from you in the future." Lancelot explained patiently, "If you don't charge any fees every time, it will only make me feel guilty and go to other blacksmiths. "

"Okay." Barende glanced at the beautiful gems again, and finally accepted them. "You really are an honest human being. So, do you have any special requirements for this sword?"

"Well... I wish it was a little longer so I could swing it with both hands. It's going to be a heavily used weapon, so it doesn't need any fancy decorations. I don't need any enchantments either, I'm afraid that would overwhelm me. budget, and the production cycle may be too long, so I just need it to perform well enough.”

"Understood, in this case, four days is more than enough."

Lancelot nodded, saluted Barende, and took Caralin and Isabella to get up and leave, while Pluto planned to stay here tonight and accompany his father.“€?br />
The moment before dawn three days later.

Lancelot was sitting cross-legged in the master bedroom on the first floor of Hagrid's Manor, carrying out Zhou Tian's transportation without any haste.

He was in a very mysterious state, and he seemed to be in a strange perspective, and he seemed to be able to clearly see the wind and grass within a hundred feet.

Karalin was lying in a bedroom on the second floor. He turned over from time to time, and his sleep was not sound.Pluto was sleeping soundly in another bedroom on the first floor, unaware that he had rolled from the bed to the floor.

Isabella, a nocturnal creature, was reading a book in the living room. A few days ago, Kalalin took her to visit some vampire neighbors around, and they showed kindness to little Isa as Kalalin expected.Karalin borrowed some books from them, allegedly to let little Isa understand her own condition, such as the book "Dark Night Blood" she is reading, which records several main subspecies of vampires, research on hunger control and Various do's and don'ts of being a vampire.

Karalin believed that this knowledge was very important to little Isa. After all, a vampire who ignorantly walked into the sun and then screamed and turned into ashes was too stupid to die.

Lancelot took advantage of the rare few days to calm down and practice well, and took the time to sort out the next cultivation path.

Before, the true qi in his dantian was already full, which was a sign of great perfection in the middle-level qi training period.After completing today's practice, he noticed that a trace of true qi remained in the meridians, flowing slowly like water in a small stream, which means that he has officially attained the high-level cultivation level of the Qi training period. When he comes down, he will face the first big hurdle on the road of self-cultivation: foundation building.

According to the information left by Han Tianzun, the dantian is like the ocean. When the cultivator reaches the high-level Great Perfection during the Qi training period, the meridians of the whole body are like a big river, full of rushing infuriating energy.From the promotion stage to the foundation-building stage, it is necessary to let the 'water' in this big river, that is, the true qi, overflow the bank formed by the body, and use the true qi formed by the heaven and earth to wash the body, and form a treasure that can carry the 'dao' body, and truly step into the world of cultivation.

There are two common methods for advancing from the Qi training period to the foundation building period. One is the most primitive method, relying on the practice day after day and year after year to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Foundation building is also a matter of course.

The reason why this method is called primitive is because the progress of this method is too slow, and it cannot be successful without more than 30 years of accumulation.Except for those ancestors who pioneered the path of self-cultivation millions of years ago, as well as casual cultivators who have no sect and only want to prolong their lives, this method will be used.After successfully breaking through, he is nearly fifty years old. Even if he gains extra lifespan, there is no hope for the golden core in this life. I am afraid that he will stop at the stage of foundation establishment on the road of seeking immortality.

The other method is the method used by the vast majority of cultivators who have successfully established foundations today, relying on a medicinal pill called foundation building pills.This broad bean-sized medicinal pill can greatly enhance the activity of infuriating qi, so that cultivators can try to build a foundation when they reach the high-level Great Perfection state of the qi refining period, which greatly compresses the time for cultivation, and also provides a higher impact in the future. The realm creates possibility.

The only problem is that the various medicinal materials needed to refine this medicine do not exist in this world, at least not in the disgusting place like the abyss.Han Tianzun, who gave him the inheritance, claimed to be the 'Extreme Alchemy Dao' and passed on a complete set of alchemy methods, and even analyzed the principles of various elixirs and the idea of ​​how to create elixirs with existing raw materials, but that would have to wait until the foundation was established. After the primordial spirit is formed, it can only be done after the divine consciousness can be released to check the items.

Finally, there is a method that is theoretically feasible, but no one has ever tried it, that is, relying on the spiritual power provided by the spiritual stone to forcibly impact the foundation.Han Tianzun anticipated the problems that Lancelot might encounter, and specifically mentioned this method in the bamboo slips he left behind.

According to Han Tianzun's speculation, it takes about a hundred high-grade spirit stones to build a foundation through this method.This is a crazy number in the world of self-cultivation. The price of a foundation building pill is about [-] spirit stones, that is, two high-grade spirit stones. Therefore, although this method is theoretically feasible, no one has tried it at all. .

However, this is the most promising solution for Lancelot at present. Seven or eight of the earth crystals he obtained by killing the sandworm lord last time reached the level of high-grade spirit stones. It is not easy to find a way to save a hundred , but at least it's possible.If the spirit stone is separated from the properties of currency, it is only used as a recovery product during battle, as well as a source of energy for organs, formations and prohibitions. It does not have a very good function of storing wealth for Lancelot.

In fact, there is an addition to the lifespan of the elf blessing. It is not impossible for Lancelo to use the first method, but if possible, he still wants to improve his strength as soon as possible. After all, this is the abyss. The wind blew, and an abyss worm on the side of the road suddenly turned into a Balor Fire Demon, and he at least had the ability to run away.

Speaking of escape, I have to mention some of the exercises that Han Tianzun left him.

Han Tianzun said that this world is different, and the cultivation path in the later stage needs to be explored by Lancelot himself, but that is also the realm after the integration period, and the exercises of each realm in the early and middle stages are still reserved for Lancelot.Advanced exercises can only be obtained after he reaches the corresponding realm, but the exercises that he can see now are far from what Lancelo expects.

Why are there so few attack-type exercises like 'Gathering Slash', and most of them are 'survival' exercises for running away?
