Chapter 110: Life Fire Profound Radiance, Reflecting the Tiangong
This night, Xu Qing had a full harvest.
He caught a total of more than seven hundred ammonites.
At this moment, looking at the pieces of ammonite frozen in the storage bag, six or seven poison formulas using this object had already emerged in Xu Qing's mind, and each one was quite impressive in power.
"And my Ghost Desire Horseshoe Crab, combined with ammonite to prepare, it is best to add some herbs for yin and yang bipolar transformation... maybe I can make poison powder that even Foundation Establishment cultivators will die suddenly?"
Xu Qing pondered for a while, feeling that his thoughts were still a bit optimistic. He recalled the battle with the Jin Gang Sect ancestor. The opponent's ability to resist poison was extremely strong. He thought this was not an isolated case.
And according to the combination of Ghost Desire Horseshoe Crab and ammonite, it is highly likely that what is refined is a lure to attract fierce beasts. Of course, with ammonite, the strength of the attraction can be reconciled.
"So I need more violent poison!" Cold light flashed in Xu Qing's eyes. He prepared to find an opportunity to go to sea later to search for poisonous objects to strengthen his poison path.
Thinking of this, he withdrew his gaze from the storage bag, picked up the three jade slips given by Ding Xue, and after spiritual energy poured in instantly, he began to view them.
After a while, Xu Qing's expression was a bit strange, muttering in a low voice.
"Hundred-Day Foundation Establishment?"
Xu Qing pondered for a while, then picked up the second one to view. Just like that, time passed slowly, and a day passed.
When dusk arrived at the main city of the Seven Blood Children again, Xu Qing finally thoroughly understood the contents of these three jade slips. At this moment, he put them all down, rubbed his eyebrows, and horror remained in his eyes.
"Life Fire Profound Radiance, Reflecting the Tiangong!"
"Hundred-Day Foundation Aperture, Concealing Heaven and Hiding Cultivation!"
Xu Qing muttered. According to the content on the jade slips, there exists a great terror in the process of cultivators in this world breaking through Qi Condensation and promoting to Foundation Establishment.
It seems that unknown evil will interfere with cultivators breaking through.
At the same time, the time for Foundation Establishment is also very long, which is called Hundred-Day Foundation Establishment.
It does not mean that it must take a hundred days to complete Foundation Establishment, but once Foundation Establishment starts, it cannot exceed a hundred days at the longest, and the longer the time, the greater the terror.
As for the specific terror, the three jade slips did not mention it in detail, but implicitly mentioned that when cultivators are establishing their foundation, they will attract strangeness. Once encountered, it is a narrow escape from death, often miserable to the extreme.
Therefore, cultivators in this world must pay attention to the changes in time when establishing their foundation, just as if they were stealing opportunities and cannot be discovered by the owner.
At the same time, in order to avoid the appearance of this great terror, cultivators often choose to use some special magic weapons to cover themselves and protect their safety when breaking through.
This type of magic weapon is not uncommon, but most of them are mastered by major sects and families. The Seven Blood Children also have them, placed in a fixed place. Generally speaking, Seven Blood Children disciples who want to break through will apply to go there.
But the cost is extremely high, calculated by the hour, one hundred spirit stones per hour.
As for those loose cultivators, or those who do not have a place to rent magic weapons for protection, they need to take huge risks when they want to establish their foundation.
The death and failure rate is extremely high, so breaking through without the protection of magic weapons is a method that will not be chosen unless absolutely necessary.
Xu Qing thought of the divine remnant face. There is no need to analyze anything. The reason why breaking through the realm will be like this is inevitably related to its existence.
For a long time, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and continued to sort out the information of the three jade slips in his mind.
The principle of Foundation Establishment is to use the accumulated spiritual sea to impact and open up one's own magic apertures!
The so-called magic aperture is a hidden point of hiding gods in the human body, which possesses mysterious power within it. After opening, the level of life will be changed.
Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment are fundamentally different. What is practiced in Qi Condensation is accumulating spiritual sea, while what is practiced in Foundation Establishment is constantly opening one's own magic apertures.
After Qi Condensation Great Perfection, when attempting to step into Foundation Establishment, the first stage is to sense the position and quantity of one's own magic apertures.
Then the spiritual sea in the body impacts a magic aperture in an all-round way. After opening it, it becomes the first magic aperture opened by oneself.
Spiritual energy will merge into this magic aperture and gather into a vortex, giving birth to magic power far exceeding spiritual energy!
In the body of Qi Condensation is spiritual energy, and in the body of Foundation Establishment is magic power!
The level of the two is as different as heaven and earth!
Due to the inconsistency of the spiritual energy of different cultivators, the magic power born from the opened magic apertures is also different. When Qi Condensation, the more majestic the spiritual energy, the more magic power, and this advantage will be reflected in every magic aperture. After accumulation, the gap gradually becomes extremely large.
In addition, the point here is sensing.
To impact and open magic apertures, one must find the position of the magic apertures. To impact and open more, one must sense the quantity of more magic apertures. The role of Foundation Establishment elixirs also lies here.
This will determine how far one can go in the future, so it is crucial for cultivators.
And heterogenous matter is the biggest obstacle to sensing magic apertures.
In this world invaded by divine aura, except for a very small part, nine out of ten life forms contain different degrees of heterogenous matter.
Cultivators are affected by heterogenous matter at the moment of Foundation Establishment, and the magic apertures become more hidden.
Generally speaking, being able to sense eighty is already quite good.
If one can sense ninety, one must be an outstanding person. This kind of thing can only be done by major sect disciples.
And sensing magic apertures is like exploring in the dark night, so there is a great terror. It will be paid attention to by some strange existences.
Thus, there is the saying of Hundred-Day Foundation Establishment, Concealing Heaven and Hiding Cultivation.
As for the limit quantity of magic apertures, it is one hundred and twenty, but this is only the limit in theory. Those who can do it are rare.
The jade slips also mentioned that in the human origin land of the Wanggu Continent, only those who use special methods to make themselves pure without any heterogenous matter have the qualifications to try to do it.
But it also needs majestic spiritual energy to support it. After all, even if there is no heterogenous matter, the difference in aptitude will also affect sensing.
And such people, the background and strength of any one of them are extremely terrifying. They are often the seeds cultivated by super sects and ancient families in the human origin land of the Wanggu Continent who want to walk the path of the ancient emperor masters.
Although the Seven Blood Children are strong, they are only relative to the Southern Wilderness Continent. Only the Seven Sect Alliance above it can barely be considered a super sect in the human origin land of the Wanggu Continent.
Therefore, there is no qualification for such disciples to appear in the Seven Blood Children. Throughout the ages, there has been none.
"None..." Xu Qing's eyes were restrained. He withdrew from the jade slips and looked up at the pitch-black sky. Tonight's firmament was darker than ever, but he could still see a few bright stars shining.
Looking at those stars, Xu Qing's mind emerged the description of Foundation Establishment in the jade slips for the second stage.
The first stage is sensing magic apertures.
The second stage is impacting and opening the first magic aperture, giving birth to magic power, and this magic power will walk through the whole body, changing the level of life!
Up to this point, it is considered successful Foundation Establishment.
After this, cultivation is to impact and open one magic aperture after another according to different cultivation techniques and the methods of each sect. After opening thirty magic apertures, the magic power emitted by the thirty magic apertures will form the first cluster of life fire for Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Then open sixty magic apertures to form the second cluster of life fire.
Ninety magic apertures, the third cluster of life fire appears.
By this time, one can try to break through and promote to Golden Core. As for the fourth cluster of life fire, it requires great opportunity and great talent.
And once the life fire appears, even if there is only one cluster, it is enough to cover the whole body, like a star fire in the dark night, reflecting the Tiangong.
At the same time, Foundation Establishment with life fire and Foundation Establishment without life fire are two completely different levels of existence.
Because this involves the iconic ability of Foundation Establishment cultivators, which is opening the Profound Radiance State.
Because life fire consumes a huge amount and its power is astonishing when erupting, it is generally in an extinguished state. Only when Foundation Establishment cultivators fight with all their might will they choose to ignite it.
Once ignited, one's own combat power increases greatly. This state exceeds ordinary too much, so it is called the Profound Radiance State.
Generally speaking, the magic apertures formed by a hundred-zhang spiritual sea can maintain the Profound Radiance State for one thousand eight hundred breaths after opening the thirtieth magic aperture and forming life fire.
Every breath consumes a huge amount of magic power.
Xu Qing took a deep breath and pressed the thoughts of Foundation Establishment from his mind.
The information given by Ding Xue was very complete, but Xu Qing's personality was cautious. Although he felt that it was unlikely to be false, he still did not fully believe it and had to verify it later.
In addition, although his spiritual sea had reached two hundred and seventy zhang before, Xu Qing could clearly feel that every time he practiced breathing these days, his spiritual sea was expanding, and now it had reached the degree of two hundred and ninety zhang.
But this was still far from his limit, and the Sea Mountain Secret Technique was the same. So Xu Qing prepared to practice the spiritual sea in his body to the extreme before establishing his foundation.
However, for some preparations before Foundation Establishment, such as Foundation Establishment elixirs, Xu Qing felt that he should find a way to accumulate spirit stones to buy them.
"Although I don't have heterogenous matter, for the sake of stability, Foundation Establishment elixirs still need to be prepared. It is best to prepare two, but the price is too expensive." Xu Qing opened the storage bag and calculated, feeling a bit worried. The gap was not small.
"In addition, renting a Foundation Establishment place that provides protection, although the cost is still astonishing, the jade slips mentioned that the Seven Blood Children, in order to encourage disciples to establish their foundation, can provide interest-bearing loans for the cost of the Foundation Establishment place. The rent for a hundred days can be paid off with the principal and interest with the income of three years after successful Foundation Establishment."
"But Foundation Establishment elixirs need to be prepared by oneself..." Xu Qing pondered. He felt distressed about the interest of the loan. According to this calculation, the interest would be more than 50% of the principal.
"Five thousand spirit stones a month, eighteen thousand spirit stones in three years, and the rent for a hundred days is twelve thousand. It's not cost-effective." Xu Qing sighed. He found that wanting to establish a foundation was too difficult.
At this moment, he suddenly understood why the Captain said that many disciples were suppressing their cultivation and not breaking through, and their goals were all placed on the Grand Competition.
Now that I think about it, it is highly likely that the spirit stones have not been accumulated enough, just waiting for the Grand Competition to make a wave.
So for the upcoming Seventh Peak Grand Competition, Xu Qing had strong expectations.
After a while, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to practice.
A night passed. The next morning, Xu Qing, who was practicing in full swing, suddenly felt his heart shake. His eyes opened suddenly and he walked out of the boat cabin. When he looked at the sky, his cultivation operated, and the spiritual energy around him spread.
Almost the moment he looked over, a long rainbow was flying over rapidly. The target was Xu Qing's boat, approaching in an instant.
It seemed that the other party did not intend to pause, but to ignore the protection of Xu Qing's boat and force his way onto the boat.
But after noticing Xu Qing who walked out, a sound of surprise came from the long rainbow, and it paused suddenly in mid-air outside the boat, revealing the figure of a young cultivator inside.
This young man was wearing a dark purple Dao robe, and his Foundation Establishment cultivation was very obvious. He stood in mid-air and looked down at Xu Qing inside the boat protection, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"Seen Master Li."
Xu Qing's expression was calm, but his heart was incomparably vigilant, quickly analyzing the reason for the other party's arrival here.
He recognized the other party's identity. It was the one who took Zhao Zhongheng away during the Dispatch Department incident, a trusted aide beside Elder Zhao. 【
"Interesting. You actually managed to cultivate to the Qi Condensation Great Perfection, ready to attempt a breakthrough at any moment, without a sound."
Deacon Li, suspended in mid-air, looked at Xu Qing with a smile on his face, his attitude clearly better than before.
"You need not overthink it. My arrival this time is because I was ordered by Elder Zhao to summon you for an inquiry regarding the Giant Dragon Chariot you reported earlier. It has nothing to do with anything else, so you may rest assured!"
Deacon Li saw through Xu Qing's vigilance. He was not a Foundation Establishment cultivator who had been promoted from being a core disciple, but one who had crawled up from the bottom of the mountain, killing his way up, so he was very clear about the temperament of these wolf cubs from the mountain's base.
If it were any other disciple, he wouldn't care, but for a disciple who could break through at any time and had a high probability of becoming a Foundation Establishment cultivator, his attitude was naturally different.
