Start from the Martial Arts

A month passed quietly.

Tianhuo Xiancheng.

Inner city.

Near the Changlefang residential area in the south, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around a remote courtyard suddenly accelerated and gathered, forming a spiritual energy vortex with a diameter of several feet.

"Someone is trying to build a foundation in the inner city!"

"The spiritual energy in the inner city is definitely not enough..."

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth fluctuated abnormally, attracting the attention of some nearby cultivators.

A day later, the spiritual energy vortex above the house shrank rapidly, turned into a thin white mist, and gradually faded away.

"Failed!"

"I guess they rushed to build a foundation without even preparing the foundation pill, and wanted to try their luck."

"This time failed, it will be difficult next time, alas...

"Why don't you go to the cave away from the volcano? "

Some nearby cultivators were shocked, some were regretful, and some were gloating.

The reason why Tianhuo Xiancheng can gather a large number of independent cultivators is that it is close to the volcano and can enjoy the effect of the second-level spiritual vein.

The independent cultivators living in the inner city are mainly cultivators in the middle and late stages of Qi Refining.

These people stay in Tianhuo Xiancheng and work hard to accumulate spiritual stones. The ultimate goal is to build a foundation.

Many people may only have one chance to impact the foundation in their lifetime.

There are three levels in the foundation.

The first level is the Qi and blood level.

It requires that the body has no hidden injuries and is full of Vitality. Qi and blood must be pure and full.

If a cultivator is injured in a fight with others or is old, it will cause the body to age and the Qi and blood to decline.

As a result, when the spiritual energy vortex is poured into the body, the body is overburdened and may not be able to bear it.

If the Qi and blood are not pure, the efficiency of spiritual energy absorption and transformation will also decrease.

The second level is the mana level.

The mana of the Qi Refining cultivator is in gaseous form, while the mana of the Foundation Building cultivator is in liquid form.

The higher the purity of the mana, the smoother the process of mana condensation will be.

For cultivators who take too many pills, the poison of the pills accumulates, reducing their potential. , will be greatly affected in the stage of mana condensation.

The grade of the spirit vein will also play an important role in this stage. The spiritual pressure of the second-grade lower-grade spirit vein is stronger than that of the first-grade spirit vein, which can assist in refining qi and compressing the mana.

Therefore, it is easier for elite disciples in the sect to build a foundation. They can even use the formation to adjust the concentration of spiritual energy in a specific area.

If you can withstand the effect of the second-grade middle-grade spirit vein, use the formation to adjust the spiritual energy near the cave to the second-grade middle-grade.

The third stage is the spiritual consciousness stage.

The spiritual consciousness assists in controlling the mana and guiding the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Qi compresses mana.

The stronger the consciousness, the easier this process will be.

Only after passing three levels can one become a foundation-building cultivator.

The foundation-building pill is mainly prepared for the first and second levels.

Some cultivators at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining have physical Qi and blood that are not at their peak, or have poor spiritual roots and insufficient potential, so they need the pure mana provided by the foundation-building pill to reduce the difficulty of the first and second levels.

There are risks in breaking through the bottleneck.

Taking the foundation-building pill can reduce the risk of serious injury or death after the cultivator fails to break through the realm, and can save a life at a critical moment.

"Let's go."

"It's over..."

"Disperse, disperse! "

The nearby cultivators gradually dispersed.

If the cultivators in the courtyard succeeded in building their foundation, they would definitely go over to congratulate them, wish for good luck, and become familiar with the seniors who built their foundation.

But the other party failed in building their foundation, and they must be in a bad mood at the moment, and no one wants to touch this bad luck.

Inner room of the courtyard.

The spiritual pressure rose and fell.

Fang Xiu sat cross-legged on the couch, and a strong fluctuation of magic power emanated from his body.

[Qian Kun Eight Phases of Qi Refining Chapter: Ninth Level (100%)]

[Cultivation: Tenth Level of Qi Refining (92%)]

"The magic power doubled..."

Fang Xiu slowly opened his eyes, feeling the changes in his body.

"The spiritual consciousness increased by twelve feet! ”

You should know that the consciousness of a normal cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining is only fifteen feet.

This time Fang Xiu broke through the small realm and increased his consciousness by twelve feet.

In addition, he practiced the first level of "Three Souls Concentration Technique", and his consciousness increased by three feet. Now his consciousness range has reached an exaggerated thirty feet.

It is twice the limit of a normal Qi Refining cultivator.

Even the sect disciples who practiced the spiritual consciousness method can't compare with him.

"The spiritual consciousness bonus of Liang Jingyun's soul pattern is... How come it became fifteen feet?"

Fang Xiu tried to activate the fourth page of the Book of Destiny and found that the spiritual consciousness bonus of Liang Jingyun's soul pattern increased.

Before, he could only get a spiritual consciousness bonus of twelve feet.

Now it is fifteen feet.

"It seems that as my cultivation and spiritual consciousness improve, the spiritual consciousness bonus of the soul pattern can also be improved. ”

The spiritual consciousness of a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building who has not practiced spiritual consciousness techniques is only forty feet.

Fang Xiu's spiritual consciousness can reach an exaggerated forty-five feet in a short period of time.

A strong spiritual consciousness can often seize the initiative in battle, which is very critical.

‘Now my mana is finally not the bottom among the same level...’

Fang Xiu felt the mana filling his body.

With his current spiritual consciousness and mana, it should not be a problem to activate the best magic tools.

In order to reduce the difficulty of cultivation and increase the chance of breakthrough for cultivators with inferior spiritual roots, the eight phases of Qiankun's Qi training techniques are really weak, and the mana is definitely the bottom among the techniques of the same level.

It is only slightly better than some low-grade techniques.

Fang Xiu's previous fighting methods mainly relied on martial arts, spiritual tools, and talismans because of too little mana.

If you use a magic tool, it is easy to use up your mana before the enemy.

After refining the second-level green vine wood, his mana increased a lot, and he should be at the upper-middle level among the same level.

Now he has broken through to the state of Qi Refining Great Perfection, and his mana has doubled again.

It is enough to support him to fully activate high-grade and even top-grade magical weapons in battles of the same level.

"Even if I don't have to practice martial arts now, my strength should be the best in Qi refining..."

Fang Xiu breathed a long sigh of relief, it felt wonderful to become stronger.

The breakthrough in mana and spiritual consciousness also led to the growth of Qi and blood.

Although it is not much, it is still a small amount of growth that breaks through the limit under the premise of perfect Qi and blood.

For the next month, Fang Xiu still lived in seclusion.

While adapting to the change in strength, he waited for the start of the medium-sized auction.

It seems that there is only one opportunity left for a breakthrough when Qi, blood and strength are complete.

Fang Xiu is ready to be on the safe side and buy some medicinal materials to assist in body refining.

In this auction, there are many second-level good things, including medicinal materials and elixirs needed by body refiners.

"The Red Star Sword is just one step away."

Fang Xiu released the Red Star Sword.

The three-foot long sword was as scarlet as blood and emitted a strange red light.

The fluctuations of fire attribute spiritual power are more than twice as high as those of high-grade magic weapons.

Strictly speaking, its power is comparable to that of ordinary top-grade magic weapons.

But a little more fire is needed to make it a truly top-notch magic weapon.

"After digesting the gains from this auction, my strength should be able to achieve an explosive growth before I can leave the inner room.

When he came to the inner city of Tianhuo Fairy City, he stayed at home for half a year.

I eat spiritual rice when I'm hungry, sleep when I'm tired and sleepy, and spend the rest of my time practicing.

It may seem a bit boring, but it’s also wonderful to be able to continue to feel yourself improving.

Fang Xiu walked out of the courtyard, and the door to the opposite courtyard opened, and an old man with white hair and a goatee walked out.

"Fellow Daoist Fang didn't move out?" When the old man saw Fang Xiu across from him, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Fellow Taoist is really an ascetic cultivator!"

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Sun." Fang Xiu returned the gesture.

Across the street lived two people, grandma and grandson.

The old man's name is Sun Chuan.

I met Xiu several times when he first moved in half a year ago, and he was quite enthusiastic.

Fang Xiu was deeply impressed.

Because Sun Chuan's granddaughter Sun Miaoling has very beautiful eyes, a bit like Ye Jin'er. "Grandpa! What are you doing at the door? You're blocking me!"

The girl's screams came from behind the door, gently pushing Sun Chuan at the door.

A girl of thirteen or fourteen years old came out, holding an emerald green jade flute in her arms, with two big black and bright braids, and a pair of watery eyes, which were darker and brighter than the braids.

"Xiao Sun is here too." Fang Xiu nodded towards Sun Miaoling.

"I have met...Fellow Daoist Fang." Sun Miaoling responded with a smile, a little reserved.

"You two fellow Taoists are busy first, I'll take the first step."

Fang Xiu smiled and thought of his daughter Fang Xianlan who was far away in Yan Kingdom.

A few days later.

Fang Xiu headed to the center of the inner city.

Tianhuo Fairy City holds a small auction every year and a medium-sized auction every three to five years.

Generally, if there are more good things, medium-sized auctions will be held more frequently.

Small and medium-sized auctions are held in central congress halls in the inner city.

As for the large-scale auction that is held only once every ten or twenty years, the venue is located at the foot of the mountain away from the volcano.

Generally, only foundation-building monks are eligible to participate.

Fang Xiu came outside the central conference venue.

The entry requirement for the medium-sized auction is to be in the late stage of Qi refining, or to have a VIP token.

"Guest, please follow me." A graceful female cultivator of the first level of Qi Refining led Fang Xiu into the venue.

Compared with the auction in Anpingfang City, the medium-sized auction hosted by Lihuoshan was much larger in scale.

Fang Xiu came to his seat in the hall and looked around.

The upper level of the hall is the stands and private rooms.

Generally speaking, those who are from a major force or are led by foundation-building monks can enter the stands and private rooms.

"As the level increases, there will be more foundation-building monks.'

After a while, Fang Xiu saw several foundation-building cultivators who contained powerful spiritual pressure in their bodies.

This is the first time he has felt the power of the foundation-building monks up close since he has been practicing.

The huge gap in realm is truly terrifying.

"A few are not only in the early stages of foundation building."

Just by glancing at him, Fang Xiu felt something like real pressure.

Fang Xiu secretly compared them.

If you want to match the foundation-building and earth-building skills, you still have to wait for martial arts to break through to the Martial God Realm.

Otherwise, relying solely on the cultivation of Qi Refining Dzogchen, even if all means are used, it is difficult to pose a fatal threat to the foundation-building monks.

Half an hour later, the auction started.

An old man in green robe who was in the early stage of foundation building appeared on the auction stage and greeted everyone present.

"This is the Heavenly Fire Auction. All fellow Taoists are welcome to attend. The rules of this auction remain unchanged...

The old man in green robe briefly explained the rules of the auction.

"There are a lot of good things in this auction, and some of them come from the immortal cultivating families from neighboring countries. I hope all fellow Taoists can buy what they need."

"The first item on the lot, 'Pulse Protecting Pill', when the Qi Refining Monk attacks the Foundation Establishment, he can take the auxiliary pill with the Foundation Establishment Pill. How effective is it? I believe you all...:

When the old man in green robe introduced the auction items, the enchanting female cultivator walked onto the auction stage with a tray and showed the items to everyone.
