Chapter 316 New Cave Mansion, Late Stage of Foundation Building (Please subscribe!)
  The mountain behind the Xu family, Linghu Lake!
  Xu Zhiyu, his ancestor, and grandfather landed on a small island in the middle of the lake with their swords.

The island is about two miles long, the widest part is only fifty feet, and the narrowest part is only about ten feet. It is wide at both ends and narrow in the middle. It is shaped like a gourd, small at the front and wide at the back. There is a new cave mansion built at the front of the island, which is a one-entry courtyard. I saw Yao Cao Linghua on the left and right, and green bamboos and pines on the front and back.

"Let's go! Yu'er, go down and take a look to see if this new cave abode suits your liking. If you are dissatisfied with anything, you can raise it and I will ask the tribe to change it!"

Xu Deming stood on the flying sword with his hands behind his back and said with a smile.

The three of them pressed the flying sword and came to the door of the courtyard. When they looked up, they saw the dark red wooden door hidden under the giant pine trees. A closer look showed that it should be made of second-order low-grade spiritual wood.

He opened the door gently and let the two elders go first. Then he stepped into the courtyard. What he saw was a screen wall. The whole body was made of first-grade high-grade spiritual material granite. It shimmered under the sunlight. Extremely Beautiful.

After bypassing the screen wall and continuing forward, we came to the courtyard. The ground was paved with first-grade high-grade spiritual wood, Tian Xiangmu. Walking on it was not only effortless, but also exuded a refreshing fragrance, which was intoxicating.

Standing in the middle of the yard and looking around, what you see in front of you is a three-room main house facing north and south, with two wing rooms on the left and right sides.

Without staying too much, the three of them walked into the main room again. The furnishings here are also extremely simple, with a set of bedding. However, people who cultivate immortals generally do not sleep, so when they get closer, they can find that this is a spiritual energy node, but with this kind of It's just a way to cover it up, and its main purpose is to meditate and practice on it.

In addition, on the back wall facing the door, there is also a table made of ebony, with a golden animal-shaped incense burner placed on it. It is a second-level high-grade magic weapon, and there is also a A stick of light yellow incense was not lit.

This object is of exquisite jade quality, elegant and simple appearance, smooth lines, carved with inscriptions and animal patterns, hollowed out and clean, with natural skin, supported by three legs, and more than a foot high.

The best thing is that there is a small hole under each of its three legs. From here, you can put spiritual incense such as concentration and tranquility into it. Then when you light the first incense, after it is burned out, the incense stored in the foot will be stored. The spiritual incense will pass through the belly of the furnace, come to the inner chamber of the incense burner, and continue to burn continuously.

And the spiritual incense inserted in the incense burner is also extraordinary. After getting closer and carefully identifying it, I realized that it is an extremely precious spiritual object that assists monks in retreat. It is called Baiye Jingshen Incense, ranking in the second-level middle grade. , just a piece of this short foot is worth five hundred spiritual stones, but the effect of this spiritual incense is said to be excellent, and it is highly praised by monks.

Moreover, this kind of spiritual incense is extremely flame-resistant. Basically, one stick can burn for a month. Calculated in this way, if he retreats for five years and lights this spiritual incense at the same time, then this alone will cost 30,000 spiritual stones. From this we can see that this incense can definitely be regarded as a luxury product in the world of immortality.

After accompanying him around the main room, Xu Shengsheng and the two said goodbye, but before leaving, Xu Deming took something out of the storage bag and handed it to him.

"Yu'er, this is what you need to draw the foundation-building talisman. It is a talisman made from the third-grade low-grade spiritual wood Purple-spotted Polygonatum as the barrel, and the second-grade high-grade Tianpu Golden Tail Wolf's tail hair as the tip."

"Thank you, Grandpa. With the help of this talisman pen that my ancestor personally refined, I am even more confident about drawing the foundation-building talisman!"

The Butianhan tobacco was available, the second-grade high-grade talisman paper was also available, and now even the talisman pen that met the requirements was available. Everything was ready, all he needed was Dongfeng. He was so happy that he couldn't put it down while holding the talisman pen, and facing it The ancestor kept thanking me.

"Okay, you are not drawing this foundation-building talisman for your own use, but for your family. I will help you refine the talisman pen, which is what you should do. I just hope you can draw the foundation-building talisman as soon as possible!"

At the end of the sentence, Xu Deming's tone was obviously wrong, but when Xu Zhiyu asked him, he didn't say much, just patted him on the shoulder and left. Before his grandfather Xu Shengsheng left, he gave him an encouraging look, Then he left, which made him feel a little uneasy and felt that something had happened.

However, since the two elders were unwilling to speak frankly, he could not forcefully ask, so he could only bury his doubts in his heart and prepare to retreat to achieve breakthroughs in cultivation.

But before that, he still had things to do. He walked out of the main house and flew to the back of the courtyard with his flying sword. There was a large bamboo forest in which there were all kinds of bamboos and spiritual bamboos, but mostly ordinary bamboos, which stretched out from here. When you reach the back of the island, you will find lush greenery and the fragrance of bamboo.

Touching the storage ring, two white lights flashed, and two spiritual beasts appeared in front of him. The half-lying black and white one was the iron-eating beast Huahua, and its body was more than ten feet long. At this time, this one was sitting cross-legged, and at the same time The thing that is constantly spitting out crimson letters, and the whole body is red and yellow, is the alien silver-scaled little gold.

When he arrived at the family's Spirit Beast Valley and explained his purpose, the clan members were not overjoyed. They immediately informed the manager Xu Zhian. Under his leadership, the two of them headed down the valley until they reached the deepest point of the Spirit Beast Valley. I just found these two items.

At that time, Huahua's legs were straddling two first-class dromedary blue camels. At the same time, he was roaring loudly, trying to get the two dromedary blue camels to run. However, with its size and weight, It's simply not something that a top-grade dromedary blue camel can carry.

The two dromedary blue camels tried their best to suck milk, but their legs just couldn't take a step forward. Not only that, they were also choked by the pressure. At this time, Huahua was a little unhappy. She shouted loudly, and the two camels were completely frightened and fell down.

And Xiao Jin on the side did not hesitate to give in. He was commanding several brown-scaled pangolins that were trained by the family to explore the earth's veins, and used their claws to dig caves for him. It turns out that he likes to stay in cold and damp caves, but he is too lazy to open them himself. So we paid attention to these pangolins and let them work as free coolies.

Seeing the embarrassing performance of the two spirit beasts, Xu Zhiyu couldn't help but immediately gave them instructions through the spirit beast contract. The two spirit beasts were also very excited after receiving the message that they had not seen for several years, and immediately left them to be exploited or bullied by them. The spiritual beast quickly approached him.

Before they came close enough to him and before they could react, he put both spirit beasts into the storage ring.

Seeing this scene, Xu Zhian, in addition to sighing at the power of the foundation-building monks, also breathed a sigh of relief. He saw that he first comforted the bullied dromedary blue camels and brown-scaled pangolins, and sent them to them. Where it should rest.

After that, he held Xu Zhiyu's hand, refusing to let him go. He insisted on having a drink with him and having a good chat. He was able to escape after finally moving out of his ancestor and grandfather.

It wasn't that he looked down upon the third brother who was still practicing Qi since he was now a foundation builder, but he was afraid that the third brother would talk about the 'great achievements' of the two spirit beasts while he was drunk, which would make him feel ashamed. The two spirit beasts who had just been released were still a little confused. Why were they put away in a 'swish' and released again in a 'swish'? But after all, they had spent a lot of time with their master. He understood that the current atmosphere was not right and the owner was not in a good mood, so after being released, he just stayed there quietly, motionless.

"You two, please listen to me. Next, I will go into seclusion for as short as three to five years or as long as seven or eight years. During this period, the scope of your activities will be limited to this small island and this lake. , you are not allowed to go anywhere else, do you understand?" Xu Zhiyu warned the two spirit beasts sternly.

"Yeah!" Huahua probably didn't understand it clearly, so he just responded vaguely. Looking at its current appearance, he felt uncomfortable, and he was thinking that he would have to find a better alchemist to treat it. , it’s not okay to stay like this.

"I understand, Master!" Xiao Jin answered simply and neatly, sounding as if he had completely understood the meaning of his order.

Then he pulled off several large storage bags from his waist and explained to the smarter Xiao Jin:
  "Did you see it? This is filled with first-order monster meat, which was exchanged from the family's charity hall. These are your rations in the past few years. I exchanged a lot, which is enough for you to eat for seven or eight years."

"Have you seen the spiritual bamboo on this island? If you are tired of eating monster meat, you can also use these spiritual bamboo shoots and other things to improve your life, but one thing you have to remember is that you can't eat the fish in the lake. You must not catch it, I have great use for this fish.”

After admonishing the two spirit beasts, he returned to the main room, lit the Venetian Jing Shen Incense, took out the futon, placed it on the bedding, sat cross-legged on it, and felt the equivalent of the aura emanating from the aura nodes under his buttocks. He was extremely satisfied with the spiritual energy concentration of the third-level low-grade spiritual veins.

He has a plan for this retreat, which is to break through to the sixth level of foundation building first. This is not difficult for him. He has stayed at the fifth level of foundation building for several years now. The breakthrough is just around the corner. He expects this time It won't take more than half a year. Now that there is such a high-grade spiritual energy concentration blessing, this time may have to be advanced.

The second step, of course, is to spend five to eight years trying to break through to the late stage of foundation building. He has made full preparations for this. He only has an unknown number of second-level elixirs to assist in cultivation, just to break through in one go.

Time passed slowly like this, and the entire Xu family was prospering, but the small island where Xu Zhiyu retreated seemed to be forgotten.

Year after year, spring passes and autumn comes, and the years pass by. In the blink of an eye, seven years pass.

The sun was shining brightly on this day, shining on the fine ripples of the lake, as if it were covered with a layer of sparkling broken silver.

The door of the main courtyard house on the small island in the middle of the lake, which had been dusty for a long time, finally slowly opened. Xu Zhiyu, who stepped out of the door, also got his wish and entered the seventh floor of foundation building, which is the late stage of foundation building.

The time it took to break through the sixth level of foundation building was about the same as he estimated, about half a year. However, it took him more than six years to break through from the sixth level of foundation building to the seventh level.

After breaking through the sixth level of foundation building, he did not stop and continued to practice by taking the Juyuan Pill purchased in Kuixingfang City to increase the cultivation level of monks in the middle stage of foundation building.

After taking it for three years, this elixir actually developed resistance. It gradually had less and less effect on the growth of his cultivation, and in the end it was completely ineffective.

He didn't panic at all when encountering this situation, because this was what he expected. Then he took another second-level middle-grade elixir called Linggang Dan and continued to assist in his practice. Finally, after two days, he After a few years, the cultivation level reached the peak of the middle stage of foundation building, and the bottleneck of the late stage of foundation building lay in front of us.

Following the teachings of the family school lecturer since childhood and the advice of his ancestors and grandfathers, when he first hit the bottleneck, he did not take any pills, but instead ran the exercises over and over again, guiding the spiritual energy into the Dantian and turning it into spiritual liquid. The Dantian was already filled with If you want to store more spiritual liquid, you can only break through the existing Dantian scale and make it larger so that more spiritual liquid can be stored.

However, the bottleneck in the later stage of foundation building was extremely strong. He pulled the spiritual liquid like a tide, impacting again and again, but the levee like a natural chasm did not move at all. More than a year had passed like this, and he had completely exhausted his patience. .

He took out the last elixir prepared for this retreat, the second-level high-grade neck-breaking elixir. It was the best choice for monks to break through to the late stage of foundation building. However, the success rate was not very high, and if you failed to break through after taking it, then what happens next? We couldn't break through in three years.

With a sudden heart, he threw the elixir into his mouth, and then with the help of the medicine, he gritted his teeth and attacked the bottleneck even more crazily. This continued for nearly half a year, and there was a click in his Dantian. Not only the Dantian, but also the meridians were widened. Some.

After breaking through to the late stage of foundation building, the spiritual power from the enlarged dantian began to run independently along the meridians, gradually transforming his blood, and then followed the blood to all parts of the body, constantly strengthening his organs, muscles, bones, and Muscles, etc., until the whole body is strengthened, the spiritual power returns to the Dantian. At this point, his breakthrough path is over.

And his breakthrough to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment also means that the family now has two monks who are in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. One is him and the other is Xu Shengxiao. As for the fact that Grandpa Sixteen has broken through the Zi Mansion, he has never thought about it. , because he knew that was impossible.

It turns out that when Xu Shengsheng broke through the Zifu, he did not use the Ziyang Pill given to him by Xu Zhiyu, but used the top-grade Purple Qi Talisman, and he succeeded in breaking through immediately.

Before he went into seclusion, his grandfather found an opportunity and handed him the unused Ziyang Pill and the top-grade Purple Qi Talisman that had been exhausted, and told him to make the talisman to accumulate energy and charge the talisman.

Now all the Ziyang Pills of the Purple Qi Talisman are with him, so he is sure that the sixteenth grandfather Xu Shengxiao has not made a breakthrough yet!
  "But it's time. It's been nearly ten years since Grandpa Sixteen entered the ninth floor of the foundation building. The polishing of mana should be completed. Now it's time for me to draw the talisman to accumulate energy!"

After walking out of the courtyard, he was pacing and meditating, and unknowingly walked to the back of the courtyard.
