I just want to torture you to death, don't force me to beat you to death

Ask Jinfeng.

A cave with extremely rich spiritual energy.

It's a bit inappropriate to call it a cave. It's more like a platform the size of a small village was dug directly on the mountain peak.

Pavilions, stone tables, alchemy furnaces, houses... everything is available.

Chu Ning was standing here at the moment, and he could feel a hot breath emanating from the cave in front.

Earth fire.

It is rumored that there are two earth fires in this sect, one is on the mountain peak, which is exclusively used by the fifth elder, and the other is in the villa below. Chu Ning has felt it before.

Earth fire may not have much effect on low-level elixirs, and may even increase the difficulty of the alchemist's operation, but to refine high-level elixirs, earth fire is indispensable.

Chu Ning still knows these theoretical knowledge.

Xie Shouping did not take Chu Ning into the cave, but said directly: "I have already accepted you as my disciple in the competition, so there is no need for any apprenticeship ceremony. From now on, you will be my disciple, Xie Shouping."

"Disciple, thank you, Master, for your attention."

Chu Ning nodded. According to his own judgment, his master seemed to have a hot temper. From the words he said when they first met to a series of subsequent behaviors, this was verified.

"Stop saying these polite words, tell me first, tell me, are you asking if this sect has any enemies?"

"You are my disciple. If you have enemies, my master will naturally help you to kill them, so as not to plot against you one day."

Chu Ning was startled. Is it so direct?

However, it seems that Bao Huining and Qiong Liangyou are the registered disciples of the master.

Is it appropriate to speak up yourself?

"Why are you hesitating? I only have you as my disciple. If anyone in this sect dies in front of me, I won't even look at it."

As soon as these words came out, Chu Ning understood.

So Bao Huining and the other registered disciples were nothing.

"Master, this disciple is aggrieved."

…

"Bao Huining and Qiong Liangyou can be killed, right? But I can't do it well. In this way, I will arrange a task for these two people. When they leave Wenjin City, they will find a strong Jindan person to do it."

Listening to his master's words, Chu Ning was a little confused. Is the powerful golden elixir a Chinese cabbage?

Listening to the teacher's words, it's like the powerful Jin Dan is a thug, always on call.

"The most powerful thing about an alchemist is his connections. If you are facing a strong Nascent Soul master, no matter how strong your connections are, it will be useless. However, they are just two junior foundation builders. They originally sought out the master to make alchemy, and they owe the master the favor of the golden elixir master. The person was happy to return the favor."

Xie Shouping saw Chu Ning's confusion and explained: "When more people come to you to make alchemy in the future, you will understand what the teacher means."

Chu Ning nodded. He actually understood. He knew that the alchemist must have a wide network of contacts, but he didn't expect him to be so powerful.

It can only be said that the monks are all used to taking drugs.

"If you have any questions, just ask them."

Hearing what the master said, Chu Ning didn't hide it and asked curiously: "Master, why do you want to hold this alchemy master competition?"

According to Chu Ning's principle, he should try his best not to be in the limelight. This time he signed up for the alchemist competition just to save himself.

If you want to accept yourself as your disciple, there is no need to create such a big battle.

"That's to help you gain momentum." Xie Shouping said with a look of pain on his face: "A hundred years ago, I accepted a disciple, your senior brother, whose talent in alchemy was probably inferior to yours. But it’s not bad compared to that entertainment.”

"I am very excited to see your senior brother. Your senior brother is in a similar situation to you. He has no background and is only a first-class alchemist. Being accepted as a disciple by my teacher, he has reached the sky in one step."

Reach the sky in one step.

Chu Ning knew that the master's description was correct. Compared with before the alchemy competition, his current situation could indeed be said to have reached the sky in one step.

"At that time, I only thought about cultivating your senior brother, but ignored the human heart. The alchemists in the sect were very worried about your senior brother being accepted as a disciple by me, and many of them were even jealous..."

After Xie Shouping's story, Chu Ning knew why the master had done this.

In order to convince other alchemists.

When the master accepted his senior brother, he did not pay attention to those first- and second-grade alchemists at all, because with the master's strength, he did not need to explain to these alchemists why he accepted the senior brother as his disciple.

This made the alchemists very dissatisfied with the senior brother. Not long after, the senior brother went out to pick a herb, and encountered a monster in the late stage of foundation building, and was killed by the monster.

If this was the case, it could only be said that senior brother was really unlucky, but at that time senior brother came down from the mountain gate with other alchemists from the sect.

The master suspected that the death of his senior brother was related to these alchemists.

It's not that these alchemists dare to plot to harm their senior brother. They just choose to stand by and watch, or don't inform their senior brother of some situations in the mountains, allowing him to mistakenly enter the territory of the late-stage foundation-building monster.

And this is not because the master is suspicious. After investigating the cause of his brother's death, the master discovered that the late-stage foundation-building monster had appeared in that mountain range two years ago, and there were alchemists in the sect who knew this information.

After the master caught the alchemist and forced him to find out the truth, the reason why the second-grade alchemist didn't tell his senior brother this information was because he was not convinced by his senior brother.

Of course, the last batch of alchemists were all secretly dealt with by the master.

The senior brother's matter made the master suddenly understand a truth. He cannot consider his disciple's matters from his own perspective.

The path to becoming an immortal is difficult and difficult. Disciples will eventually have their own social circle. No one can succeed in cultivation by hiding in a greenhouse.

If you ask the alchemists of this sect who knew about your senior brother's talent and even witnessed your senior brother's ability in alchemy, the jealousy will be much less.

Because they will give up, and they will not think that the master accepted the senior brother as his disciple because the senior brother was unlucky, but because the senior brother's alchemy talent is much better than them.

They will know clearly that even if their senior brother dies, their master will still look down upon them.

This is the master's purpose in holding this alchemist competition, which is to let the alchemists of Wenjin Sect and even the alchemists of Wenjin City and other cities know about it.

The master accepted him as his apprentice because of his talent.

These alchemists will be jealous and envious, but they will not hate themselves, nor will they dig holes for themselves when they meet in the future, because digging holes for themselves will not bring any benefit to them.

On the contrary, if you make friends with yourself, you are equivalent to making friends with a third-grade alchemist who has a backer.

As long as they are not the kind of extreme monks with brain problems, they all know how to choose.

Chu Ning said: "Master has good intentions, and the disciple will bear them in mind."

As for the senior brother's matter, Chu Ning felt that it would not happen to him. With his master as his backer, he still had no need to find medicinal materials by himself?

He won't do that anyway, all he has to do is chew on his old age.

If you really need any medicinal materials, you can just buy them with Hua Lingshi.

"Disciple, there is still one thing that I don't understand. What about the last round of message transmission you gave to me?"

"That was a bet between Wei Shi and Zhao Yangming. That You Xing is Zhao Yangming's disciple, and he came here specifically to sabotage Wei Shi's alchemy competition. How can I make it easy for him? If he loses, he will give you the Immovable Mountain Technique. , it just so happens that you can practice after establishing the foundation."

Xie Shouping didn't hide it, and his expression became serious at the same time: "I will make a bet with him because of the Immovable Mountain Technique. The origin of this technique is unusual, but I can't tell you the origin now. If you can practice this technique , it will be of great help to you in your future practice.”

"Thank you teacher for your kindness."

Chu Ning was no longer polite when he said this. If the Immovable Mountain Technique was really powerful, then as a bet, the teacher would definitely have to come up with treasures of corresponding value.

"Don't be too happy too early. Not everyone can practice the Immovable Mountain Technique. Otherwise, Zhao Yangming would have practiced it himself. My teacher also thinks that the Immovable Mountain Technique is a good match for your temperament. It is possible for you to succeed in practicing it." Take this bet."

"Does it match your disciple's temperament?"

"Well, don't you like to hide your clumsiness? It's so dangerous to be a Dannu without showing your talent for alchemy. And this Immovable Mountain Technique has a nickname, called "Hundred Ninja Technique"."

Hundred ninja?

Listening to this name, Chu Ning felt that it seemed like a good match.

"You first build the foundation safely. Then Bao Huining and Qiong Liangyou, have you ever thought about doing it yourself when you reach the advanced stage of foundation building?"

Chu Ning was startled, he really hadn't thought about it.

"I'd better trouble you, master, to take action."

Don't keep enemies that can be dealt with early. What if you keep them alive and become tigers?

"Very good. You are better than your senior brother at this point. You can just build the foundation in that bamboo house. The formations are arranged here for the master. No one can disturb you."

Xie Shouping glanced at the bamboo house with a look of nostalgia in his eyes. Chu Ning understood that the bamboo house should be where his senior brother lived back then.

"By the way, master, I can escape danger this time. There is an alchemist named Huang Fei in the sect who is kind to me. I'm afraid Bao Huining will attack him."

"Huang Fei, now that I know it, I can build the foundation with peace of mind."

Xie Shouping's figure disappeared on the spot, and Chu Ning was indeed relieved. His master, a powerful golden elixir who had lived for hundreds of years, would only handle such matters more thoughtfully than he thought.

Chu Ning flipped his right hand and took out two pills from the storage bag, one Foundation Establishment Pill and one Foundation Continuation Pill.

Well, this Foundation Continuation Pill and this Foundation Establishment Pill are both freshly baked and come from You Xing.

You Xing gave it to him and left a message: I look forward to discussing alchemy again in the future.

The high-grade foundation-building pill has already increased the probability of foundation-building by more than 80%. With the addition of this foundation-building pill, the foundation-building is stable.

"Old Hei, we are finally going to build the foundation."

There was a hint of hope in Chu Ning's voice, building the foundation... building the foundation for cultivating immortality.

If cultivating immortality is compared to building a building, condensing energy is equivalent to practicing the skills of building a house. Only by building the foundation can one truly start to climb the peak of cultivating immortality.

"In the past, when people built a house and laid the foundation, they had to choose the one with auspicious zodiac signs. We won't do this anymore."

Originally, Chu Ning could build the foundation without the foundation building pill, but because he signed a life contract with Lao Hei, it became more difficult to build the foundation. Without taking the foundation building pill, it would take more than ten years to build the foundation.

Chu Ning did not enter the bamboo house, but chose an open space and sat down cross-legged, putting the Foundation Building Pill and the Foundation Continuing Pill into his mouth.

The first level of foundation building.

Divine consciousness level.

That is to strengthen the soul so that the soul can sense foreign objects.

This level is not difficult for Chu Ning. His consciousness can already sense a distance of thirty meters.

At this moment, as the Foundation Establishment Pill began to take effect in the body, Chu Ning did not have the tearing feeling in Chu Ning's mind that other Foundation Establishment monks had when they were building the foundation.

This kind of tearing is to reveal spiritual consciousness, but some people with poor souls will suffer damage to their souls under this tearing, and the foundation building will fail.

There was no sense of tearing, and Chu Ning just felt that his consciousness began to expand continuously. With himself as the center, his consciousness continued to spread to the surroundings.

Ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters, forty meters, fifty meters...

It wasn't until eighty meters later that the growth slowed down, but it still didn't stop.

After seven days of this, when the spiritual consciousness expanded to a hundred meters, it completely stopped growing.

A hundred meters away, this is already the range of spiritual consciousness in the middle stage of foundation building.

Chu Ning is very satisfied. What Lao Hei said is right. Although foundation building is more difficult, the rewards are still huge?

Now it's time for step two.

Spiritual energy liquefies.

Under the effects of the Foundation Establishment Pill and the Foundation Continuation Pill, the gaseous condensation in Chu Ning's body was already compressing crazily.

The gaseous spiritual energy leaked out during the compression process, impacting his meridians. Fortunately, there was Xuji Dan protecting his meridians.

The difficulty of the second level lies in this, fearing that the impact of spiritual energy will damage the meridians, causing the foundation building to fail.

As long as the meridians can be protected, liquefaction is only a matter of time.

One drop, two drops...

The moment Chu Ning once again experienced the effect of the False Realm Pill, at the same time, the spiritual energy around him rushed toward Chu Ning at a very fast speed, wrapping Chu Ning in it instantly.

On the cave platform, there was already a strong amount of spiritual energy, but there was still so much spiritual energy flowing in. One can imagine how terrifying the amount of spiritual energy absorbed by Chu Ning's foundation building was at this moment.

After the incoming spiritual energy was absorbed by Chu Ning, the surrounding spiritual energy was immediately replenished.

And so on.

In the middle of the process, Xie Shouping's figure appeared on the platform. Seeing Chu Ning's condition, his old eyes gleamed. His disciple's foundation building was somewhat unusual.

Xie Shouping formed a seal with his hands, and the spiritual energy from several miles around seemed to be attracted. At the same time, the spiritual energy from further places was also flowing rapidly towards this direction.

"This is enough for Chu Ning to absorb."

After a few breaths, Xie Shouping put down his fingerprints and nodded with satisfaction.

Asked about the caves of the other elders in Jinfeng, the elders looked at the direction of the spiritual energy flow and understood what was going on.

This is Xie Shouping's newly recruited disciple Chu Ning who is building a foundation. It's just a foundation building, does it require so much spiritual energy from heaven and earth?

A month later, Chu Ning's whole body had a radiant luster. To use an appropriate word to describe it, it was swollen.

I was filled with spiritual energy.

There are a full one hundred and seventy drops of spiritual liquid in his body.

This number is close to the middle stage of foundation building.

And when Chu Ning decided to attack the third level, energy flowed out of his dantian.

"He's here. Brother No. 1 is coming with gifts."

Chu Ning's heart moved with a look of expectation. After the late stage of Qi Condensation, the longevity fruit provided spiritual energy every day. It cannot be said that it was ineffective. However, after he went to the outside world, the outside world had the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the effect was a little small.

"The longevity fruit, the longevity fruit, your little master has been feeling very aggrieved during this period. If you don't work harder, the position of the top brother on the list will be that of the secret mirror."

Perhaps he heard Chu Ning's psychological words. The energy that appeared in his dantian was very special. It was not spiritual liquid or spiritual energy, but a warm current, but it suddenly disappeared after flowing throughout his body.

Chu Ning:?

"Kung Fu, you are missing the Kung Fu after foundation building. The energy provided by the longevity fruit this time seems to be related to the Kung Fu."

Lao Hei reminded Chu Ning in time.

"That's it..."

Chu Ning ignored the longevity fruit and continued to start the third level.

Expand Dantian.

In the foundation-building realm, spiritual liquid is stored in the Dantian, and the size of the Dantian determines the upper limit of how much spiritual liquid can be stored.

As you enter the foundation building stage and your realm slowly improves, your Dantian will gradually expand, but this expansion is an increase based on the original proportion.

The wider the Dantian is expanded during foundation building, the higher the potential will be in the future.

The reason why casual cultivation is difficult is that it is difficult to build the foundation first.

Even if you get the Foundation Building Pill, it's just an ordinary Foundation Building Pill, and the effect of the medicine is almost gone at this point.

…

…

One month later.

There was spiritual energy rippling with Chu Ning as the center, hitting the entire platform like a strong wind.

Chu Ning opened his eyes.

Chu Ning's twelve-year calendar, twelve years of practice.

At this moment, he finally entered the foundation building realm.

Thinking back on the path he had traveled in the past twelve years, Chu Ning felt a sense of trance.

There is a sense of unreality.

Even for a moment, Chu Ning felt that this was all a dream. There was no longevity fruit, no monks, no great foundation builder...

All of this is just a dream after being drunk at the table.

"wake up!"

In his ears, a solemn voice sounded, like a blow to the head that made Chu Ning wake up instantly.

Looking forward, the master was standing in front of him.

"Master, my disciple has succeeded in building the foundation."

"The movement of your foundation building is greater than I imagined. It is actually approaching the middle stage of foundation building."

Xie Shouping didn't ask himself what his disciple had thought at that moment, so that the Tao disappeared.

Everyone has their own secrets. It seems that my disciple is far from being as simple as I found out.

Fortunately, this situation will only occur during foundation building. If you encounter it again, you have to be Nascent Soul, and it is still a long way away.

"This is the Immovable Mountain Technique. You should study it carefully first and see if you can get started with it. Bao Huining and Qiong Liangyou have been sent out of the city as soon as possible by their masters. As for Huang Fei, since he is kind to you, I will accept him as my registered disciple."

"Let the teacher worry."

"You are my disciple. If my master doesn't worry about you, who else can I worry about? There is no need to say these polite words in the future."

Looking at the master's back that soon disappeared, Chu Ning felt moved in his heart. Along the way, he had been blessed by God and met two good teachers.

"The Immovable Mountain Technique, listen to the master's words, this technique is extremely extraordinary."

Chu Ning put her spiritual consciousness into the jade slip, but was surprised to find that the jade slip did not directly record the exercises. Instead, there was a picture scroll in the jade slip.

Controlling his consciousness, he slowly opened the scroll, which turned out to be a portrait of a green mountain.

The majestic green mountains tower into the clouds, and the misty clouds block the top of the mountains and the bottom of the mountains, making it impossible to see the entirety of the green mountains.

Only part of the mountainside can be glimpsed.

Outside the platform, Xie Shouping did not leave, standing side by side with another figure.

"Do you really think your disciple can practice the Immovable Mountain Technique?"

If anyone familiar with Xie Shouping saw the person standing next to Xie Shouping, they would probably be surprised.

This person turned out to be Zhao Yangming.

Everyone in the Jindan circle knows that Xie Shouping and Zhao Yangming are at odds with each other, and they will always be at odds with each other.

"Not sure, but Chu Ning's temperament is the most suitable for practicing the Immovable Mountain Technique. He is clumsy, tolerant and has a perseverant heart. This is all the information I have found about my disciple."

Xie Shouping raised his hand, and a jade slip fell into Zhao Yangming's hand.

After Zhao Yangming read it, there was also a touch of emotion on his face.

"It is said that the road to Taoism is difficult, and your disciple has suffered a lot. When I was young, I lived with an old man. Although the content in this letter may be exaggerated, it is also spoken from the bottom of my heart."

"The more respectful you are, the more polite you are, and you dare not say a word..."

Zhao Yangming could think of a young man who worked hard to change his destiny and did not hesitate to seize every opportunity to climb up.

Not just Chu Ning, but none of the other monks are like this.

This letter was originally written by Chu Ning to Huang Zhongtai, but I don't know how Xie Shouping obtained it.

"Young master, but he is not famous. He is unknown in the Liang Dynasty. No wonder you are willing to bet with me. The Immovable Mountain Technique is indeed very suitable for him."

Zhao Yangming knew where Xie Shouping got his confidence.

"I'm afraid it's not enough to just rely on your character. After all, this is the Immovable Mountain Technique."

The other monks didn't know what the Immovable Mountain Jue meant, but Zhao Yangming and Xie Shouping knew the origin of the Immovable Mountain Jue.

"Try it. If it doesn't work, try another method."

…

…

The mountain peak was obscured by clouds and mist, but the next moment, in Chu Ning's sight, the clouds and mist slowly dissipated, revealing the true appearance of the mountain peak.

It wasn't that the clouds and mist on the mountain peaks in the scroll had faded away, but Chu Ning knew that this was because his mystical mirror was beginning to work.

The secret mirror allowed him to see the true appearance of this mountain peak.

Boom!

The moment the full view of the mountain peak appeared, Chu Ning's Dantian spiritual liquid suddenly rippled, and under the water waves, a wisp of the mountain peak slowly emerged.

But just this touch of the mountaintop drained all the spiritual liquid from Chu Ning's dantian.

The spiritual liquid is exhausted, and as soon as the mountain top is about to dissipate, heat appears in the Dantian.

The energy of longevity fruit appears.

It was neither spiritual fluid nor spiritual energy. This hot current flowed on the dantian and on the top of the mountain. It actually caused the top of the mountain to continue to rise, and the entire mountain was slowly forming.

Outside the platform, Xie Shouping and Zhao Yangming's eyes shrank sharply, as if they had seen an incredible scene.

Although Xie Shouping asked Chu Ning to practice the Immovable Mountain Technique, in fact he didn't have much confidence in it and just wanted to give it a try.

"It's really done."

Zhao Yangming whispered, even he couldn't see the whole mountain peak when observing the motionless mountain technique. How did Chu Ning do it?

"Old Zhao, you haven't revealed the true origin of the Immovable Mountain Technique to anyone, right?" Xie Shouping was shocked and looked at Zhao Yangming seriously.

"Don't worry, except for you and me, no one in this world knows the true origin of the Immovable Mountain Jue."

Zhao Yangming knew what Xie Shouping was worried about.

The Immovable Mountain Technique was obtained from a special place when he and Xie Shouping were still in the foundation building stage. In order to hide it from some of the golden elixir experts at that time, the two lied that it was called the Immovable Mountain Technique, but the real name of this technique was not Don't call it this.

"Aren't you going to tell your disciple?"

"It's too early to tell now. It won't be too late to tell him after he enters the golden elixir."

"Yes, knowing too early is not a good thing." Zhao Yangming agreed with Xie Shouping's words.

…

…

Spring passes and autumn comes.

This practice took Chu Ning a full year.

This green mountain will eventually evolve.

Chu Ning didn't know how much energy flowed out from the longevity fruit, but based on the fact that one hundred and eighty drops of spiritual fluid were drained from his Dantian on the top of a mountain, the energy that evolved this green mountain must have been tens of thousands of drops. The liquid is gone.

My top brother is really bleeding this time.

"Is this still a foundation-building technique?"

It takes tens of thousands of drops of spiritual liquid to get started. Chu Ning is now extremely confused that the Immovable Mountain Technique is really a foundation-building technique?

Which foundation-building monk can fulfill such a demand?

In the middle stage of foundation building, there are only 200 drops of spiritual liquid, and for more powerful ones, there are dozens of drops, while in the late stage of foundation building, there are only 600 drops.

As for the golden elixir...

Then it is not calculated based on the amount of spiritual liquid.

"This mountain seems to have some origins!"

The black snake appeared on this green mountain without knowing why, circling around the green mountain.

"Can you reach my Dantian?"

Chu Ning was shocked. After Lao Hei signed a life contract with him, he could hide in his body, but he could not enter the Dantian.

"I don't know how I got there. I just looked at this green mountain and suddenly I appeared here. This mountain seems to really exist."

"Oh, I discovered the energy of longevity fruit. It's on the mountainside of this mountain. Chu Ning, have you seen it?"

Without Black Snake's reminder, Chu Ning had already noticed that there was a waterfall hanging down the mountainside.

There is no waterfall in the whole view of the green mountain. It can only be related to the longevity fruit.

Black Snake climbed several times, but there seemed to be an invisible obstacle on the green mountain. It could not go up the mountain from any direction and could only hover at the bottom of the mountain.

"So, what's so special about this Immovable Mountain Technique?"

After spending such a large price, it is even possible that the energy of the longevity fruit will be gone in the future, and Chu Ning has not yet discovered the benefits he has gained.

Just when Chu Ning was confused, the mountain peak in Dantian suddenly moved, and a huge amount of information poured into Chu Ning's mind.

Over a cup of tea, after digesting this information, Chu Ning's eyes sparkled.

Mountain power.

Mountains are more powerful than human power.

The first level of Immovable Mountain Technique: activate the spell, and the power of the spell will be doubled.

Chu Ning's Thirteenth Year Calendar.

Introduction to the first level of Foundation Building and Immovable Mountain Technique.

At this moment, in the distant Sun Moon Mountain, a woman also entered the foundation building realm.

A month later, after the woman asked for a Foundation-Building Pill from the elders of the sect, she took a flying boat and left Riyue Mountain, heading south.

It's almost the end of the month, please vote for me. . . Fourteen thousand words. .
