Cultivation begins with the Shen family

Chapter 22 Determined to Build a Foundation
In the quiet underground secret room, Shen Xiangchi stared closely at the jade slip and two dark green jade bottles placed in front of him.

This jade slip records the foundation building experience left by the foundation building monks, and the two jade bottles contain two kinds of pills that can protect the meridians.

As we all know, the most difficult thing for a monk to build a foundation is to compress the violent spiritual power of the whole body into the dantian. If he is not careful, his tendons will be broken, and eventually he will explode and die.

The biggest function of these two elixirs is to protect and strengthen the monk's meridians when the monk builds the foundation, thereby increasing the possibility of the monk's foundation building success.

Therefore, although these two elixirs are only at the first-tier top-grade level, the words "can increase the possibility of monks building a foundation" are enough to make all qi-training monks jealous.

Even these two kinds of elixirs are rarely circulated in the market, and almost all of them are in the hands of the three foundation establishment forces including Xuanlingmen.

Looking at the jade slip and the two bottles of pills, Shen Xiangchi felt like he was dreaming at this moment.

If he thought that the chance of success in building a foundation based on his own background was only [-]% to [-]%, now that he has these two things, he thinks that the chance of success in building a foundation has exceeded [-]%, or even reached [-]%. into about.

After all, he has been in the realm of Qi training for more than ten years, and because of some opportunities in the early years, his attainments in body training can be regarded as the top among Qi training monks.

Although the practice of body training has greatly delayed Shen Xiangchi's practice speed to a certain extent, otherwise, with his aptitude of earth and fire dual spiritual roots, he should be able to reach the state of great perfection in Qi training earlier.

However, the benefits brought to him by practicing body training are also huge. Not only does it give him a combat power far superior to that of the same level, but his strong physical body also tightly locks his blood.

Otherwise, calculated according to the age of a normal monk, Shen Xiangchi, who is nearly [-] this year, has already begun to lose his blood.

It is precisely because of the practice of body training that his qi and blood can still be kept at the peak state.

Of course, the reason why Shen Xiangchi chose to practice body training since he was a child is not only the above two points.

The most important reason is that it is rumored that practicing body forging to a certain level can increase the possibility of foundation building.

Although it is not known whether this rumor is true or not, it is believed to be true by the lowest-level qi cultivators.

After all, for those disciples of small Qi training families and casual practitioners who have no one to rely on during Qi training, they basically have no ability to obtain other methods or panacea that can increase the success rate of foundation building.

And for the foundation-building dream in their hearts, all they can do is believe that the rumor is true, and then silently start cultivating the physical body.

However, the beginning of body training is extremely difficult, not only need to spend a lot of time but also spend a lot of resources.

Therefore, most people can't persevere for a long time, but Shen Xiangchi has persisted for decades, and by virtue of his own efforts and talent, he has already cultivated body training to a certain level.

And after reaching this step, he realized where the body forging technique helped monks build their foundations.

The physical body that has been tempered for many years can hold more spiritual power, and the meridians in the body can also withstand the violent spiritual power during foundation establishment, so as to better help the monks condense the whole body's spiritual power into spiritual liquid in the dantian.

For Shen Xiangchi, after decades of accumulation and polishing, his mana and physical body have reached the peak of what a Qi training monk can achieve. In addition, now that he has obtained this foundation building experience and two bottles of auxiliary pills, he has succeeded in building a foundation. The probability is as high as [-]%.

Compared with the chances of an ordinary monk breaking through the foundation establishment, his chances of breaking through are already very high.

At this moment, Shen Xiangchi already had an idea in his heart, and he planned to give it a go.

And the reason why he made this decision is also after careful consideration, not only because of the things in front of him that can help him build a foundation, but also because he feels the sense of urgency that the chaos is about to happen.

In the past few decades, although the Xuanlingmen, the Kuangsha faction, and the Liu family's foundation-building forces often had some frictions and even small-scale wars, most of them were caused by the qi training forces under each family's command. The three foundation building forces will not take action directly.

However, the series of events that happened in Shayu County have shown that the situation is going to the worst.

The Liu family in Shiyi County not only sent members of their tribe into the hinterland of Shayu County, but also pretended to be casual cultivators to plunder the taxes paid to Xuanlingmen by various families in Shayu County.

He even directly led the second-tier monsters to Sha Yu County, and when Sha Yu County was in chaos due to the monsters attacking the city, he sent monks to attack the county government and rob the money in the county government treasury.

It is impossible to hide this series of operations from Xuanlingmen, and doing so is undoubtedly declaring war on Xuanlingmen.

The Xuanling Sect, which suffered heavy losses in the future, will definitely not let it go, and will definitely send monks to wait for the opportunity to attack Shiyi County, which will trigger a war between the two foundation establishment forces.

And the war between the two foundation building forces will definitely affect the whole body, and the qi training families affiliated to each family will also be involved.

As a vassal family of Xuanling Sect, the Shen family will inevitably be arranged to fight against the Liu family and the vassal forces.

At that time, it will be a tragic scene again, and a large number of clansmen will be injured or die in the war.

And this is just what is about to happen right now. What really worries Shen Xiangchi is that there may be greater dangers to come.

First, the Xuanlingmen, the Kuangsha faction, and the Liu family's foundation-building forces all increased substantially in taxes on their vassal forces.

After that, the Liu family tried their best to plunder property in Shayu County even at the risk of going to war with Xuanlingmen.

These two things don't seem to have much connection, but they faintly imply that something big will happen.

It's just that Shen Xiangchi is still not sure what this matter will be because of his own knowledge and level.

However, the only thing he can be sure of is that this incident that has just begun to emerge is definitely not trivial. Not only does it involve the three foundation building forces in this area, but it will even involve a wider range.

So in order for the family and the clansmen to gain the power to protect themselves in the ensuing chaos, he must give it a go.

Of course, Shen Xiangchi still needs to make some preparations for himself and his family before he is really ready to retreat and build a foundation.

I saw that his eyes slowly turned to Shen Zhirui in front of him, looked up and down the latter extremely seriously, and then asked after a long time:
"Where is your cultivation now?"

Faced with this sudden inquiry, Shen Zhirui was slightly taken aback for a moment, and then gradually restrained the disguised aura that had been surrounding him.

And as the disguised aura dissipated, the spiritual fluctuations and aura on his body became more and more intense.

"Eight layers of Qi training."

Shen Xiangchi looked at the grandson in front of him with relief, as if he had already made preparations in his heart.

"You pick some useful things from these storage bags, and strive to break through to the ninth level of Qi training in the next year or two."

After hearing this, Shen Zhirui's eyes immediately flashed with joy, but he quickly reflected on it.

"Grandfather, is something going to happen?"

On this side, Shen Xiangchi didn't answer directly, but sighed heavily after glancing at him.

"This world will be in chaos, and the future of the family depends on you"
