Daoist friend, you are a treasure, let me refine it for you

"Three refinements of mana, it's time to break through the foundation, can't delay any longer."

In the cave, Jiang Yu's eyes were bright. After months of seclusion, he finally reached the level of three refinements of mana.

It was all thanks to the refining method attached to the Golden Elixir Method that he could condense mana at such a speed. Of course, the pain to the body during this period was also non-stop.

The turmoil in the South Region was getting more and more intense. Just as he had guessed at the beginning, only the foundation-building cultivators were qualified to barely save their lives. A demon was hovering in the hearts of all the cultivators in the South Region, ready to bite and eat at any time.

Xinming, as expected, had been completely affected by the madness. I'm afraid he had completely forgotten about trying to leave the South Region, escape the cleansing of traditional cultivators, and escape the covetousness of the demon clan.

Fortunately, Xinming did not appear in Xiangyun, but in other places, avoiding their troubles.

"Foundation-building pills, tranquilizing incense, a large amount of spirit stones, and two thousand bottles of soul-refining liquid, all prepared."

There are several difficulties in breaking through the foundation-building process - spirit pills and spiritual objects, foundation-building methods, an environment with rich spiritual energy, and one's own talent.

For the first three, Jiang Yu destroyed the Dehuo Sect, and he still had enough materials for the three people to break through.

But for the latter, he had no way out. The talent of the inferior wood spirit root was definitely the worst talent, and there was no hope of building a foundation without some opportunities.

The affinity of inferior spirit roots for spiritual energy was too low. Even if a high-concentration spiritual energy environment was artificially created, when constructing the foundation, it was possible that the spiritual energy required for the foundation construction could not be supplied due to the slow absorption rate, resulting in a failure to break through.

Two thousand bottles of soul-refining liquid were to cover this. Once they could not keep up, the soul-refining liquid would be used directly to replace the spiritual energy to build the foundation.

As for the higher-level spiritual object foundation, terrain foundation, and celestial foundation, I dare not even think about it.

Lighting the tranquilizing incense, the green smoke soon made the cave hazy. Jiang Yu's soul gradually settled down at this moment, and many distracting thoughts gradually dissipated, leaving only the thought of building the foundation.

The spiritual stones piled around began to release spiritual energy one by one under the activation of the formation, which suddenly increased the spiritual energy level in the cave, comparable to the core area of ​​the first-level spiritual vein. Such a concentration of spiritual energy is enough to break through the foundation.

Absorbing spiritual energy and starting to build the foundation.

With a thought, Jiang Yu began to operate the foundation-building method. A miniature building appeared in his dantian. The spiritual energy in the cave was attracted and rushed to his body.

All his limbs and bones were instantly under tremendous pressure.

When building the foundation, because the foundation of Taoism needs to be solid, the speed of absorbing spiritual energy far exceeds the limit of the physical body. Unless a lot of time is spent on boiling the meridians before building the foundation, the only way is to use pills or spiritual objects to protect the spiritual veins.

After taking the foundation-building pill, Jiang Yu instantly relaxed. The medicinal power protected the meridians of his whole body and even increased the speed of absorbing spiritual energy.

The miniature ninety-nine-story building began to solidify layer by layer. All the spiritual energy from his limbs and bones was poured into it and converted into pure mana.

The amount of mana in his dantian increased rapidly, and even after taking the foundation-building pill, he began to feel the pressure.

Next, it was a competition between the speed of solidifying the foundation and the speed of solidifying mana.

Contemplating the meaning of sunburn, the suddenly increased mana began to condense.

Condensed four times, five times, six times...

The seventh time, it was no longer possible.

The more condensed the mana, the more difficult it was to control. Even if all of this mana was contaminated with one's own spirit, the affinity for spiritual energy and the strength of the soul determined the upper limit of the mana condensation that one could control.

But the foundation of the Tao continued to be built, the mana continued to grow, and the pressure on the dantian became greater and greater.

"Pressure!"

The soul-refining liquid began to pour in, bringing a steady increase in mana and strengthening the dantian at the same time.

Seven, eight times of condensation.

The foundation of Taoism was finally condensed to the final degree, and a ninety-nine-story building stood in the dantian.

The foundation of Taoism was completely built!

Immediately, the ninety-nine floors began to absorb all the mana in the dantian into their bodies. After a moment, eight drops of liquid mana flowed out from the top of the building and surrounded the foundation.

The soul was also improved because of the construction of the foundation of Taoism. In a moment, it could sense everything within a radius of a thousand meters, and it was more sensitive to the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

"Spiritual pressure."

The soul controlled the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth to become stagnant, and the people in it would feel the pressure from heaven and earth.

After successfully breaking through the foundation, Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief. It was not easy for him to come all the way with his lower-grade spiritual roots.

Just when he was about to walk out of the cave, Yishu suddenly appeared on his own.

"What is this?"

He put down his footsteps and looked at Yishu. This was something he had never seen before.

As a companion, Yishu was completely under his control, and its appearance and disappearance were all determined by his will. This was the first time that Yishu appeared on its own initiative.

Yishu began to turn pages continuously, making a scratching sound that only Jiang Yu could hear.

On it, the characters like insect galls kept twisting, combining, overlapping, and separating, changing constantly.

Jiang Yu stared at it intently. Why did Yishu suddenly change?

Was it because he had broken through the foundation?

He didn't know the reason, so he could only wait for the change. Yishu would tell him.

The twisted characters gradually became clear in their meaning, and their meaning was transmitted into Jiang Yu's mind through his sight.

The soul is enhanced, and the next skill of the same type can be obtained from the skills that have been mastered, or a completely new type of skill can be obtained.

If you want to obtain skills from the art book, you must bear the backlash. Only by constantly strengthening your own soul or protecting your own soul with respect can you obtain the next skill safely.

However, the acquisition of skills is also random, and Jiang Yu himself does not know what the next skill will be.

The four skills he has obtained now are of different types - alchemy, animal breeding, gathering and replenishing, and spiritual plants.

According to the hundred arts mentioned in the art book, there are unknown how many small skills under each skill type. No one knows what the next skill will be, but now there is a certain choice.

Is it to obtain a skill from the four types that have been obtained, or a new type of skill.

The choice is up to Jiang Yu himself.

"There are countless skills. It is good to obtain a new type, but it is not easy to make a choice now."

Looking at the art book, the improvement of the soul can actually give me more choices. In the future, as the soul continues to strengthen, the range of choices may continue to increase. But the current choice is particularly important.

The South Region is in turmoil, and the demons from the outside world may enter the South Region at any time, which is not good for him. So should he choose an existing type of skill or a new skill?

After a little thought, Jiang Yu made a decision.

Among the four types, only the spiritual plant has brought a huge improvement in strength as soon as it appears. The strength of the cultivators who have been planted is obvious to all, and even now they can obtain a large amount of raw materials for soul refining liquid. The foundation of the planting has contributed greatly.

Therefore, for the next skill, choosing spiritual plants is the most conservative choice.

For the other items, the materials for alchemy are uncertain, the time is uncertain, and the effect is uncertain. Breeding beasts may obtain a new beast comparable to the sacrifice pig, but it takes a long time to cultivate it. Caibu focuses on improving his own strength but it is unlikely to make him not afraid of the golden elixir in one leap.

"It just happened that the soul of the foundation-building soul was enhanced, and the conditions for obtaining the next skill were met. Let's see what the new skill is."
