Peeping into the Immortal Road

Chapter 87 Eighth Level of Qi Refining
As time slowly passed, a deep despair gradually emerged on Chen Qianzhou's face.

His low-grade spiritual roots and the huge loss caused by refining spiritual energy became a gap that he could not cross at this moment.

The effect of the Boiling Blood Pill was almost over, and his body seemed to have reached its limit, no longer able to bear the surging spiritual energy.

Even at this critical moment, taking magic power-enhancing pills seemed futile.

His low-grade spiritual roots also resulted in huge losses in the process of refining the medicinal power, which could not bring him any substantial help.

As the effect of the Boiling Blood Pill gradually wore off, Chen Qianzhou felt the spiritual energy in his body becoming more and more violent.

They were like wild horses that had broken free from their reins, rushing wildly through his meridians and causing unbearable pain.

His face was as pale as paper, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead like rain, and his body began to tremble slightly.

Chen Qianzhou understood that he had reached the end of his life.

The huge amount of spiritual energy that his body cannot bear is pushing him into the abyss of death little by little.

Just when Chen Qianzhou was despairing and thinking that he was about to die, a powerful spiritual consciousness suddenly surged into his body like a tide.

This power was like a stroke of genius, instantly eliminating the violent and raging spiritual energy in his body and solving his urgent problem.

Chen Qianzhou immediately realized that it was the family ancestor Chen Biqi who came to the rescue.

This old ancestor has been silently watching his foundation-building process.

Now seeing that he was in danger, Chen Biqi extended a helping hand without hesitation.

With Chen Biqi's intervention, the spiritual energy in Chen Qianzhou's body quickly returned to calm.

Immediately afterwards, a purple light flashed and Chen Biqi's figure suddenly appeared in front of Chen Qianzhou.

He glanced at Chen Qianzhou slightly, and a complex light flashed in his eyes.

Although Chen Qianzhou managed to escape the disaster, his meridians had suffered serious damage from the impact of the violent spiritual energy just now.

Although Chen Biqi did not have high expectations for him at first, he still felt a little regretful after seeing Chen Qianzhou fail in building his foundation.

Chen Biqi shook his head and said calmly: "Take good care of your injuries. As long as you are still alive, you will have a chance to start over."

These words were like a ray of sunshine, illuminating Chen Qianzhou's gloomy heart and rekindling the fire of hope in him.

……

"Failed."

On the other side, Ji Chang looked at the scene on the screen and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he didn't care whether Chen Qianzhou could successfully build his foundation.

But to be fair, deep down he still didn't want to see Chen Qianzhou succeed in building his foundation.

Ji Chang already had a plan in mind. Once he successfully built his foundation, he would definitely plan to seize the second-level spiritual vein.

However, there are only two second-level spiritual veins in Jiaozhou, one is Zhuya Mountain occupied by the Chen family, and the other is Qinggang Mountain controlled by the Wang family.

If Chen Qianzhou succeeds in building his foundation, the Chen family will have two foundation-building cultivators, greatly increasing their strength.

By then, let alone Ji Chang's attempt to seize the spiritual vein of Zhuya Mountain, I'm afraid even Qinggang Mountain will not be able to escape the control of the Chen family.

In that situation, Ji Chang had no choice but to leave Jiaozhou and travel far away to find a new spiritual vein.

Therefore, Chen Qianzhou's failure in building the foundation became a relief for him, allowing him to see the possibility of planning spiritual veins in Jiaozhou in the future.

Shaking his head, Ji Chang sorted out his thoughts and feelings after observing Chen Qianzhou's foundation building.

Ji Chang could feel that he should be able to break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining within half a year.

From this perspective, you are very close to reaching the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining and then trying to build a foundation.

……

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

On this day, Ji Chang slowly finished his training and exhaled a breath of foul air.

"It took more than five years to reach the eighth level of Qi Refining." "Now I am thirty-eight years old."

At this speed of cultivation, Ji Chang estimated that he would be able to attempt to build his foundation when he was around 45 years old.

There is absolutely no problem with the Qi and blood control for me.

Just live peacefully these years and don't fight with others, otherwise you will get seriously injured.

Based on my previous experience of observing Chen Qianzhou's foundation building, the spiritual consciousness barrier would not be a big problem for me who had practiced "The Fragments of the Five Poisons".

Then only the last level of mana remains.

Ji Chang was not worried about the loss of spiritual energy he refined. After all, his spiritual roots were excellent and of top quality.

What Ji Chang was worried about was the external environment required by the magic level.

He is not like Chen Qianzhou, who can retreat and break through in the core area of ​​the second-level spiritual vein in Zhuya Mountain.

Thinking of this, Ji Chang couldn't help feeling a little angry.

If Zhuya Mountain was still the original Zhuya Market, Ji Chang could rent a cave in the Zhuya Market to practice seclusion.

"Damn Chen family, they ruined my plan." He cursed in his heart.

Now, Ji Chang can only choose two other methods.

One is to purchase auxiliary pills specifically for the mana barrier, which can gain a large amount of medicinal power in a short period of time after swallowing.

Another way is to purchase a spirit gathering array and place it on a first-level spirit vein to create a spiritual pressure environment suitable for his breakthrough.

Both methods have their pros and cons, and you need to weigh them carefully before making a decision.

Although elixirs specifically designed for the mana level are much more common than elixirs such as the foundation-building elixir which have miraculous effects on all three levels of foundation-building, they are much more common.

However, it is almost impossible to buy it in Cangyu Market.

Even if it appears on the market, the Chen family will get it first.

Ji Chang can also choose to refine this kind of medicine himself.

But he was only a top-grade alchemist and did not have the ability to refine such top-grade elixirs.

It took him nearly ten years to break through from a mid-level alchemist to a high-level alchemist.

By the time my alchemy skills improve, I will be in my early fifties.

It's just a waste of time and talent.

Then there is only one way left.

Purchase a spirit gathering array and set it up in the cave in Cangyufang City to create a suitable environment.

However, a spirit gathering array that can achieve this effect must be at least a top-grade spirit gathering array. If it can be a top-grade spirit gathering array, the effect will naturally be better.

Top-grade spirit gathering arrays can be purchased at auctions and array shops.

However, if you want to obtain the top-grade spirit gathering array in Cangyu Market, you can only do so through an auction.

"In this case, we should pay more attention to the auction."

Ji Chang pondered for a moment.

"There are also meridian protection pills, which should also be prepared in advance."

The Meridian Protection Pill is a precious, top-grade elixir whose main function is to protect the cultivator's meridians from damage.

It is often used to prolong the life of seriously injured monks, or play a key role in critical situations such as monks going astray or failing to build their foundation.

Ji Chang is not like Chen Qianzhou, who has Chen Biqi, a foundation-building cultivator, to protect him.

In case the foundation building fails, you have to use the meridian protection pill to save your life.

Although he was confident that he would succeed in building his foundation, he still had to be cautious and make all necessary preparations.
