Lonely Immortal

Of course, even if Taoist Zhang Wensheng didn't remind him, Zhang Zhiwen would subconsciously restrain his breath, but now he is more aware of the need. Taoist Zhang Wensheng is right. If the Qingxuan Sect really has a cultivator like Zhang Zhiwen who practices the Nine Heavens Blue Sword Art, what will happen? It will inevitably attract the covetousness of all parties, and they may even not hesitate to capture Zhang Zhiwen and force him to tell them how to practice the Nine Heavens Blue Sword Art successfully, or simply destroy Zhang Zhiwen to eliminate future troubles. Anyway, no matter which situation, Zhang Zhiwen will definitely be in danger of death. This Tianshui Fairyland not only has foundation-building cultivators, but also Jindan cultivators and even fake infant cultivators. Any of these cultivators is enough to kill Zhang Zhiwen. No matter how powerful Zhang Zhiwen's Nine Heavens Blue Sword Art is, no matter how powerful the sword cultivator is, how can they be their opponents?

Therefore, even if Zhang Zhiwen succeeded in building his foundation nine times, he still needed to keep a low profile and restrain himself. He could not let anyone know that he had cultivated the Nine Heavens Blue Sword Art. Only when his cultivation reached a certain level, enough to compete with those Jindan cultivators or even false infant cultivators, would it be better.

In this case, Zhang Zhiwen would definitely not tell anyone about the true foundation building situation. There was no need to say more about this. At least he had been instinctively restrained and low-key for a long time.

As for Zhang Wensheng, Zhang Zhiwen would not reveal any information, and Zhang Wensheng had no doubts. The success of the Nine Heavens Blue Sword Art was extremely unlikely, but failure was a high probability event. Therefore, after Zhang Wensheng explained a few words, he left.

After Taoist Zhang left after hearing the voice, Zhang Zhiwen actually had a plan. He did not plan to continue to complete the foundation building here. He needed to find a secluded place to complete the foundation building. Of course, there were many excuses for going out, such as having no money and going out to get some money, so he could go out to take some tasks. Most of the disciples of Qingxuan Sect were also outside, probably doing chores for others, and basically would not come back for a while.

So, Zhang Zhiwen left here, and then found a more remote place to hide and practice. Tianshui Fairyland is extremely vast. The ten major immortal gates occupy the central position of Tianshui Fairyland. It is naturally the place with the most resources. The ten major immortal gates gather in a circle. Each large immortal gate governs a dozen medium-sized immortal gates outside, and these ten medium-sized immortal gates also gather together to share their resources. Then one of the medium-sized immortal gates also governs a hundred small immortal gates. These hundred small immortal gates are the outermost area of ​​Tianshui Fairyland, which is poor in resources.

Although the resources are scarce, the sphere of influence of the hundreds of small sects is actually very large, including the Qingxuan Sect. On the surface, it is the size of a small village, but in fact, the territory within a hundred miles is the territory of the Qingxuan Sect. Of course, there are no resources within this hundred miles, and it is just covered by some mountains and jungles. So Zhang Zhiwen just found a remote place to hide and build his foundation. If he was found, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack, so it is extremely safe.

This cultivation has no time, especially the foundation building, which is quite important. The general cultivators are very cautious, and Zhang Zhiwen is even more so. He would rather spend more time, and he can't act hastily. In addition, the eight foundation building is more difficult than the last time, and each foundation building is a kind of hell torture. This requires Zhang Zhiwen to have an extremely strong willpower, coupled with reasonable time allocation, he can't complete the eight foundation building continuously, and each time he completes it, he needs to rest for a while, otherwise this person will really be mentally unbearable.

Therefore, nearly half a year passed in a blink of an eye. During this time, Taoist Zhang did not summon Zhang Zhiwen. He seemed to know that Zhang Zhiwen must be practicing hard and would not disturb him casually. Zhang Zhiwen also successfully completed the nine foundation building.

At this moment, he was meditating in a cave, with nine sword pills suspended in his sea of ​​qi. These nine sword pills were full of strong sword intent, and sword energy was emitted from time to time. These nine sword pills also consumed all of Zhang Zhiwen's assets, including the quasi-top spiritual tools such as Lingdong, all of which were absorbed. Fortunately, the materials were just enough, and the nine drops of Taoist power were also completely absorbed. Therefore, the foundation building has reached the final stage. The next step is to fuse these nine sword pills to form a brand new natal sword pill.

In fact, this process has exceeded the foundation-building requirements of the Nine Heavens Blue Sword Art. Zhang Zhiwen has figured out the inner meaning of the foundation-building art in the past six months. He can be very sure that the ancestors of the time definitely did not have his situation, that is, condensing nine sword pills in one breath. The ancestors did not have such a situation, and even the cultivators who compiled the Nine Heavens Blue Sword Art probably did not have such a situation. Moreover, the compiler himself did not mention such a thing. It seems that they all entered the sword path from the beginning of Qi Refining, and then accumulated sword path insights through practice, and finally integrated sword path insights into sword pills. Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen's situation has been regarded as a pioneering one. Regardless of whether there are later ones, it is definitely unprecedented.

Of course, the natal sword pill is the same. The so-called natal sword pill is the root of Tao. Any foundation-building cultivator who reaches the foundation-building level and produces the root of Tao will be closely connected with his life and property. The root of Tao is the cultivator, and the cultivator is the root of Tao. This is called the unity of man and nature, and the unity of man and nature is the true entry into the innate. Therefore, the foundation-building cultivator can communicate with heaven and earth, and his magic power will be endless from then on. This is the truth, and Zhang Zhiwen also deeply felt that this innate realm of the unity of man and nature is far beyond the strength of the Qi Refining period.

Now we have to complete the last step, and let the nine sword pills merge into one to form the natal sword pill. This process is not recorded in the foundation-building formula, so Zhang Zhiwen needs to be careful. Any mistake will definitely lead to a complete loss.

Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen also stopped for nearly half a month, until everything was extremely stable, he decided to condense the natal sword pill.

At this moment, the nine sword pills in Zhang Zhiwen's sea of ​​qi began to slowly gather, but as they kept approaching, things changed. Originally, there was only occasional flash of sword energy on each sword pill, but after they approached, the sword energy suddenly became extremely strong, and the nine sword pills generated a huge repulsive force between each other, and the repulsive force generated a huge sword energy riot, and even formed a sword energy storm, which began to rage in the sea of ​​qi.

When Zhang Zhiwen saw this, he immediately had a familiar feeling, because after nine foundation building, he was tortured to pieces by the sword energy every time, and this final condensation foundation building would probably be a layer of skin peeled off. Sure enough, the sword energy swept away in an instant, and then Zhang Zhiwen immediately felt the crazy cracking of the Xuanyin Jade Embryo, and his flesh was instantly swept by the sword energy. The bloody flesh was swept by the sword energy, and the severe pain swept over like a frenzy. Zhang Zhiwen's mouth and nose spurted blood instantly, and his eyes went black. He almost fainted on the spot, because the degree of the sword energy this time was as much as the sum of the previous nine times. If Zhang Zhiwen's body was not strong enough, his willpower was complete enough, and he had the blessing of the Xuanyin Jade Embryo, he would probably die on the spot.

This foundation building is so dangerous, then what about the golden elixir in the future? The golden elixir will be attacked by the heavenly calamity. At that time, the internal and external calamities will be raging, which is absolutely unbearable. However, Zhang Zhiwen has no time to think about what will happen in the future at this moment. He will just get through this level first. He really didn't expect that there would be a big reckoning in the end. The Xuanyin Jade Embryo kept cracking and finally couldn't bear it anymore. It collapsed on the spot, but the magical thing was that the collapsed Xuanyin Jade Embryo did not dissipate, but began to condense and recover. But not long after it recovered, it collapsed again. It was like this over and over again. The same was true for the flesh. It healed and recovered again and was torn again. The whole process was simply unbearable to watch. Zhang Zhiwen was covered in blood. The whole person was like a blood man. A lot of blood kept overflowing, dyeing the surroundings red. The sword energy around his body was raging, like crazy, smashing anything he touched. Fortunately, Zhang Zhiwen was hiding in the cave. If he was building a foundation in Qingxuan Sect, he would definitely alarm Zhang Wensheng at this moment.

The Xuanyin Jade Embryo revived again and again, and the physical body also revived again and again. The nine sword pills finally gradually merged together. At this time, everything seemed to become quiet, and the sword energy was no longer rampant. The Xuanyin Jade Embryo shattered again with a bang, and then slowly recovered. When it recovered, it turned into a Xuanyin Spirit Embryo. The Xuanyin Spirit Embryo also instantly transmitted a lot of imprint information into Zhang Zhiwen's mind, and the physical body gradually recovered, even emitting a faint white sword energy light. At this moment, Zhang Zhiwen closed his eyes, and his expression had returned to calm. Finally, he succeeded in building the foundation, and the natal sword pill was condensed!

At this moment, the nine sword pills have all merged into one, forming a fist-sized white sword pill. This sword pill is quietly suspended in the sea of ​​qi, and then slowly rotates. Every time it rotates, a trace of sword energy is emitted from it. These sword energies begin to enter the meridians in the body and wander endlessly. After wandering once, these sword energies absorb some spiritual power and return to the natal sword pill in the sea of ​​qi. This is the first-level foundation-building state of the Nine Heavens Blue Sword Art. However, Zhang Zhiwen's spiritual roots are very poor, and most of the spiritual power absorbed by the natal sword pill dissipates during the wandering process. Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen's cultivation speed must be extremely slow. Even if he has cultivated the Nine Heavens Blue Sword Art, it is still the same as before. If he simply wants to rely on the Nine Heavens Blue Sword Art to cultivate and improve, Zhang Zhiwen feels that it will take at least a hundred years to improve his cultivation level by one level. Therefore, his life span of 500 years is not enough to condense the golden elixir.

Of course, Zhang Zhiwen has long been accustomed to this situation. Insufficient spiritual roots is not the first thing. In addition, Zhang Zhiwen also feels another different thing, that is, the natal sword pill also needs to be improved. In other words, he now not only needs to improve his cultivation and physical body, but also needs to improve his natal sword pill. The natal sword pill needs to absorb spiritual gold. The better the purity of the spiritual gold, the better it is naturally. And the higher the level of spiritual gold, the better it must be.

I am not too worried about the purity. The stone platform furnace of the Immortal Mansion can solve this problem. You can even get some spiritual tools and throw them in to smelt. When it comes out, it will be spiritual gold, and the purity will definitely be first-class. Zhang Zhiwen is very confident about this. The quality of the things coming out of the Immortal Mansion is impeccable, but the spiritual tools or ores required must be a huge expense. However, there is no need to consider too much for the time being. I will slowly find a way to solve it in the future. As for the level of spiritual gold, it is the same reason. Zhang Zhiwen is not considering it for the time being. There will always be a way to solve it slowly in the future.

Generally speaking, after building the foundation, the consumption of each upgrade of a small level of cultivation will inevitably become much greater. It is definitely more than the consumption in the Qi Refining period. In addition, Zhang Zhiwen also needs to prepare to find the elixir needed in the early stage of foundation building, especially the elixir to increase magic power.

Of course, there is no rush now, because after Zhang Zhiwen established his foundation, he was still not very clear about the power of the Nine Heavens Blue Sword Art, but he was very clear about several aspects of his magical abilities at this moment, and these magical abilities were not only brought by the Nine Heavens Blue Sword Art, but also by the Xuanyin Spirit Embryo.
