Peeping into the Immortal Road

Chapter 104 Foundation Building Technique
Ji Chang's spiritual sense gently wrapped around the jade slips and began to explore them carefully.

Under Ji Chang's spiritual sense, the contents recorded on the jade slips gradually appeared.

These jade slips contain records of some trivial notes and cultivation experiences written down by Chen Biqi.

It also records the contents of "Five Poison Fragments", the foundation-building technique that Ji Chang has been thinking about day and night.

Ji Chang quickly calmed down and carefully read the contents of the jade slip.

While reading, Ji Chang was also constantly recording the contents of the exercises.

After breaking through the foundation-building stage, Ji Chang relied on his spiritual sense to not only quickly read the exercises, but also use his spiritual sense to engrave the contents of the exercises in jade slips.

Soon, in less than a cup of tea, Ji Chang had copied down the "Five Poison Fragments" in its entirety.

After copying the "Five Poison Fragments", Ji Chang did not stop, but continued to copy Chen Biqi's insights.

The daily practice experience of these foundation-building monks is also invaluable to Ji Chang.

As a casual cultivator, he could not receive careful guidance from his predecessors at any time on the path of cultivation like those cultivators who came from families or sects.

Now, having the chance to obtain Chen Biqi's cultivation experience, how could Ji Chang let it go easily.

Even Chen Biqi was just a casual cultivator from a self-taught background.

While transcribing the notes, Ji Chang accidentally found a batch of books with different covers in Chen Biqi's storage bag.

These books immediately aroused his great interest.

Logically speaking, since foundation-building cultivators possess spiritual awareness, they usually prefer to use jade slips to record information, because the amount of information a jade slip can carry often far exceeds that of a large number of books.

However, Chen Biqi chose to use books to record, and there must be a reason behind it.

When Ji Chang used his spiritual sense to read these books, he quickly understood the reason.

It turned out that these books were not inherited from the Chen family, but came from the major Qi-refining families in Jiaozhou that were destroyed by the Chen family.

What is recorded in these books is the cultivation heritage of those families.

While flipping through the book, Ji Chang even discovered a very familiar formation inheritance from the Guangping Yuan family.

The Yuan family's formation inheritance in Chen Biqi's hand is actually much more complete than the formation inheritance possessed by Yuan Yixiao, a member of the Yuan family.

Ji Chang didn't think that Yuan Yixiao was hiding her abilities or holding back in front of him, and had not handed over all the formation inheritance she had mastered.

On the contrary, he speculated that when Yuan Yixiao escaped successfully, his cultivation was only at the middle stage of Qi Refining, and he probably could not access the complete Yuan family formation inheritance.

Compared with Chen Biqi, the latter obviously has a better chance of collecting a more complete array inheritance by looting and torturing the top leaders of the Yuan family.

Ji Chang peeked at the items in Chen Biqi's storage bag a few more times, and after making sure that there were no more skills to be passed down, he stopped peeping.

Ji Chang withdrew his spiritual consciousness, put away the jade slip in his hand, closed his eyes and recalled the contents of "Five Poison Fragments" that he had just memorized.

This "Five Poison Fragments" is of extraordinary quality. Although it is only a fragment, it is already a second-level method.

What is even more rare is that this technique combines the two major schools of soul and poison, and contains not only exquisite poison and witchcraft, but also methods to temper the soul and increase consciousness.

The "Five Poison Fragments" in Ji Chang's hand only contains the chapter on snake poison. The methods of refining poisonous insects recorded in it are mostly snake poisons made with spirit snakes as the main material.

In total, more than 400 different types of snake poison have been recorded.

In addition to snake poison, there are more than a hundred other types of poisonous insects.

Each of these recorded poisonous insects has a method of refining and raising them.

In addition, "The Fragments of the Five Poisons" also records some information from the complete version of "The Five Poisons Sutra".

According to the information recorded in it, this "Five Poisons Sutra" is a third-level method. It is divided into five parts, which record the methods of using five poisonous creatures, namely snakes, scorpions, centipedes, toads, and geckos, to refine poisonous insects.

Each chapter can cultivate one Danwen magical power after forming the Dan, and a total of five Danwen magical powers can be cultivated, which is also a leader among the third-level methods.

Ji Chang didn't quite understand this Danwen magical power.

Just from a few words in "The Fragments of the Five Poisons", we can learn that the Jindan Stage and the Foundation Establishment Stage are fundamentally different.

Breaking through the Jindan stage is not as simple as compressing and solidifying the magic power. Instead, it requires smelting the spiritual objects of heaven and earth, seizing the spiritual inspiration between heaven and earth, and finally cultivating the golden elixir, which is the threshold of truly entering the Jindan stage.

If one merely solidifies the magical power, then it can only remain at the great perfection of the foundation-building period, or the level of the false elixir realm.

Although the "Five Poison Fragments" in Ji Chang's hand is incomplete, it can be cultivated to the false pill realm.

Although the strength of the fake dan realm cultivators has not made a qualitative leap compared to ordinary foundation-building cultivators.

However, once the magic power is successfully solidified, their lifespan can be increased by sixty years, reaching three hundred years.

Shaking his head, Ji Chang calmed his mind and sat cross-legged to practice.

……

Half a year later, Ji Chang opened his eyes and let out a breath.

Although he did not have a second-level spiritual vein to practice on, and was only practicing on a first-level spiritual vein that had been amplified by a top-grade spirit gathering array, he could feel the shortage of spiritual energy while practicing.

However, since he mastered the foundation-building method, Ji Chang was pleasantly surprised to find that his cultivation speed had indeed improved significantly.

Although the growth rate was still relatively slow, he could clearly feel the continuous increase of magic power in his body.

"Now that we have the foundation-building technique, the next step is to leave Jiaozhou and head to Baishuixian City near the Imperial Capital."

Ji Chang's thoughts went through the motions and he made a decision.

In the past six months, in addition to practicing, Ji Chang has also mastered a second-level spell from the "Five Poison Fragments".

Although most of the methods in "Five Poison Fragments" rely on poisonous insects to activate the enemy.

But it also records many powerful second-level spells.

Ji Chang selected a second-level spell that did not require the assistance of spiritual objects and had a low threshold for practice.

This second-level spell is called the Blood Python Erosion Heart Seal, and it is a poison spell.

It is extremely vicious and hidden. Once cultivated, it can condense several phantoms of blood pythons. These phantoms are difficult to be detected by spiritual consciousness, and even if one is hit, one is often unaware.

The victim will not realize that he is in danger until he feels severe pain in the heart area as if thousands of snakes are piercing his heart.

However, this Blood Python Erosion Heart Seal also has some drawbacks.

That is, in order to activate this spell, one must consume one's own energy and blood.

If used casually, it is easy to overdraw your own Qi and blood, resulting in Qi and blood deficiency.

However, Ji Changxiu had mastered this killer move, so he had something to rely on.

Once he arrives at Baishuixian City, he can make up for his lack of combat power by purchasing poisonous materials and refining second-level poisonous insects.

Therefore, this Blood Python Erosion Heart Seal can only be regarded as a transitional means, a means of protecting the way when traveling in Zheng State.

Just as Ji Chang was about to get up and leave the cave, he seemed to notice something and his expression changed slightly.

"This is……"
