Chapter 137
137. Chapter 137: Two Pieces (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Foundation Establishment!
It is the first major threshold for immortal cultivators.
It is said that in the ancient times when spiritual energy was prosperous, only Foundation Establishment cultivators could be considered to have truly entered the immortal cultivation path, known as Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.
Generally speaking, the process of Foundation Establishment is often related to the cultivator's spiritual roots and techniques, and it takes no more than a hundred days at the longest, so there is also the saying of "Hundred-Day Foundation Establishment."
……
Ten days later.
Outside the Rank 2 cave dwelling cluster, a stream of light flew over.
The stream of light landed, revealing a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
He wore a purple dharma robe, looked heroic, and had a purple jade spiritual sword on his back.
He looked silently at those rented cave dwellings, and suddenly sent out a sound-transmission talisman.
Not long after, he saw Manager Wang running over in a hurry, bowing respectfully: "I have met Elder Min!"
This Elder Min Yixing is at the Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivation, directly under the City Lord's Mansion, manages Daoist Zi Yuan City law enforcement, and is a sword cultivator with amazing combat power.
His status in Daoist Zi Yuan City, of course, goes without saying.
Anyway, it's not something a small cave dwelling manager like him can offend.
"Have you seen this person?!"
Min Yixing casually threw over a jade slip, in which there was a silver-shirted youth, who was exactly the appearance of the immortal cultivation clone.
"Reporting to the Elder, I saw him ten days ago; this kid called himself surnamed Fang, is a loose cultivator, and rented a Rank 2 High-Grade cave dwelling, preparing for Foundation Establishment..."
Manager Wang felt that there must be something wrong with this person, so he didn't dare to be negligent and told everything one by one.
"Foundation Establishment? And brought someone with him?"
Min Yixing nodded: "It seems the Zhou family tragedy should be the work of this person..."
"What?"
Manager Wang was shocked; a few days ago, the Zhou mansion was discovered to have been exterminated, the whole mansion died, even the Zhou family ancestor with Foundation Establishment cultivation was like this.
He had always thought it was the work of some demonic cultivator, but he didn't expect it to be such a graceful youth.
'It really is knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts; fortunately, I didn't deliberately make things difficult, otherwise this old bone would have been handed over...'
Manager Wang felt lucky in his heart and hurriedly said: "That person rented the Jia-7 cave dwelling... does the Elder want to?"
"Lead the way!"
Min Yixing let Manager Wang lead the way, arrived in front of the cave dwelling where Fang Xing was in seclusion, his eyes deep, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Is the Elder really sure it's this person's work? This person is only at Qi Condensation cultivation, and brought a martial artist servant... it's impossible to kill the whole Zhou family, right?"
Manager Wang had some difficulty on his face: "Although this cave dwelling formation has a secret door, if we force our way in, our reputation in the future will be ruined..."
"Hmph, before the Zhou mansion was exterminated, only this person visited the Zhou mansion, and later someone saw this person bring someone out of the Zhou mansion... so fearless, it seems that the martial artist servant is his protector; people are at least Foundation Establishment cultivators, slightly restraining their aura, and naturally you can't see anything..."
Min Yixing snorted coldly, looking at the cave dwelling, but didn't rashly break in.
Manager Wang saw this, and immediately had a bottom in his heart.
It seems that although this Elder Min is a sword cultivator, he is also quite cautious and doesn't want to completely confront the murderer who slaughtered the Zhou family.
Otherwise, breaking directly into someone's cave dwelling would be an endless situation.
He thought for a moment and stood there, accompanying Elder Min to wait.
A few days later, the sky above the cave dwelling suddenly shook, and then a spiritual energy vortex appeared, crazily swallowing the spiritual energy mist all around.
"This is... a spiritual energy vortex? No mistake... someone is impacting Foundation Establishment?!"
Many cultivators were attracted by the spiritual energy vortex, saw Elder Min and Manager Wang, and were shocked again, standing on the side one after another, guessing the identity of the cultivator in the cave dwelling.
"Drawing heaven and earth spiritual energy so quickly?"
Manager Wang saw this scene, his heart was both sour and astringent.
He knew the Foundation Establishment process very well when he failed Foundation Establishment back then.
Didn't expect that the youth didn't look like he had reached the perfection of Qi Condensation, and he could actually walk to this step in one go?
"The spiritual energy vortex is quite stable, it should succeed."
Elder Min opened his mouth at this time, his expression a bit surprised: "Such a sharp aura, could it also be a sword cultivator?"
……
A few days ago.
Inside the cave dwelling.
Fang Xing opened the Wan Hua Ding and took out two Foundation Establishment Pills.
Only seeing that the black line attached to the inferior Foundation Establishment Pill had long since disappeared.
And the other genuine Foundation Establishment Pill was even smaller by a circle, emitting a crystal-clear luster like jade.
"Premium Foundation Establishment Pill."
He nodded, sat cross-legged, and silently operated the Foundation Establishment method in the "Hua Jin Jue."
Almost in an instant, he entered a certain state of being divine and clear, and the spiritual energy inside the cave dwelling was crazily attracted, injecting into his limbs and bones.
"Foundation Establishment... has begun."
Fang Xing murmured and directly swallowed the premium Foundation Establishment Pill.
Swish!
This premium Foundation Establishment Pill turned into a warm current as soon as it entered his abdomen, seemingly completely igniting those spiritual energies.
Countless spiritual energies crazily washed his limbs and bones, carrying out one "easy tendon and marrow washing" after another!
On Fang Xing's body surface, only a little sticky sweat appeared.
"Hmm... this is my innate talent, all veins are clear, and when cultivating, I only take premium medicinal pills, and there is no pill toxin... so I can't wash out any impurities."
"The physical body pass of the three Foundation Establishment passes was passed directly, and it didn't seem very painful."
"Even the medicinal power of the premium Foundation Establishment Pill didn't consume much..."
He nodded, feeling that most of the medicinal power of the Foundation Establishment Pill gathered here in his dantian gas sea, causing his Qi Condensation Level 9 magic power to surge again, and soon reached the perfection of Qi Condensation!
Then, the magic power carried a trace of stickiness, condensing into a vortex.
Drip!
In the center of the vortex, a drop of pale golden liquid magic power appeared.
It was incomparably sticky, like a golden pearl, floating in Fang Xing's dantian gas sea.
"The liquid magic power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator... one drop is enough to compare to the entire magic power of an ordinary Qi Condensation cultivator; using this magic power to turn into a true essence shield, ordinary Rank 1 means are difficult to break through."
Fang Xing nodded, watching one drop after another of pale golden magic power appear.
One, two, three...
Six, seven, eight...
Finally, a full nine pale golden "pearls" floated in the dantian gas sea, each one crystal clear and full, even carrying a trace of solid feeling.
"Generally speaking, how much liquid magic power can be refined during the first Foundation Establishment is related to the cultivator's foundation and techniques..."
"The worst Foundation Establishment cultivators might only have one or two drops of liquid magic power condensed in the magic power pass..."
"I have Heavenly Spiritual Roots, and even exceed them a bit; although the Hua Jin Jue seems average to me, it is at least a technique that can be cultivated to Jin Dan, which ordinary loose cultivators can't even see..."
"Combined, it's nine drops of liquid magic power? If I cultivated to the perfection of Qi Condensation and then came for Foundation Establishment, it might have been ten drops of liquid magic power."
"However, this kind of magic power upper limit can also be improved after Foundation Establishment..."
Fang Xing manipulated the nine drops of liquid magic power, barely operating according to the Foundation Establishment route of the Hua Jin Jue.
Every time he operated the technique, he felt his body strengthened by one point, and his magic power became more and more sharp.
The most critical thing is that between his eyebrows, there is some kind of thing that is about to sprout.
This is a sign that spiritual sense is about to transform into divine sense!
"It's now!"
Fang Xing threw all the remaining medicinal power of the Foundation Establishment Pill into his mud-pill palace, feeling his head explode with a bang.
Then, it seemed as if a third eye opened between his eyebrows, slowly observing his whole body, and also involving the heaven and earth outside.
Five zhang, ten zhang... twenty zhang!
Thirty zhang!
Possessing the experience of spiritual power, Fang Xing was very relaxed in the process of divine sense.
Soon, he manipulated his own divine sense and saw the entire cave dwelling, and saw his "main body" sitting cross-legged outside!
Even, he tried to go deep into the main body, but was blocked by a spiritual power.
"Divine sense observing the outside world, the subtle places far exceed the sensing of spiritual power, and even carry a bit of perspective ability; ordinary items cannot block it at all; no wonder it can see through my puppet..."
Fang Xing opened his eyes: "But I remember when Su Ye just broke through, her divine sense could only cover ten zhang... was her 'spirit' among the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit so weak? Or am I too strong?"
After Foundation Establishment, it is indeed an all-around increase.
He pondered slightly, then raised a hand.
. TTKдN. Co
A Geng Metal Sword Qi several feet long appeared, its golden color brilliant and dazzling, and there seemed to be runes slithering inside.
Presumably, it only takes one sword to destroy the defense of a high-grade magic tool.
"Sure enough, Foundation Establishment cultivators are simply crushing Qi Condensation cultivators..."
Fang Xing sighed, then looked at himself, and shook his head again: "After Foundation Establishment, magic tools are basically useless; it's best to replace them all with spiritual tools; that fan spiritual tool doesn't suit me at all, it should be sold, and replaced with a Rank 2 flying sword, a defensive spiritual tool, and preferably a flying spiritual tool..."
Although Foundation Establishment cultivators can fly with their physical bodies.
But for long-distance travel, it's definitely not that wasteful of magic power.
He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his body was already floating in mid-air as if by instinct.
"Is this physical flight? Combined with domain power and the Dancing Sky Step, it's really another feeling."
Fang Xing played for a while longer, then landed, walked out of the practice room, and stood side by side with his main body.
"It was quite lively outside while I was in seclusion."
He took out the cave dwelling token and slightly released the restriction.
Sound-transmission talismans flew in like butterflies.
Most of them were Qi Condensation cultivators, congratulating him, the senior, on his successful Foundation Establishment.
Only one emitted magic power fluctuations at the Foundation Establishment level.
Fang Xing picked it up lightly, scanned it with divine sense, and couldn't help but smile: "Found me? It seems there's still something to talk about, otherwise we would have started fighting directly..."
"It's a pity, I still wanted to see the combat power of a False Jin Dan True Lord."
……
Outside.
The cave dwelling door opened with a bang.
Fang Xing, in a silver robe, with a face like a jade seal and eyes like lacquer, walked out indifferently, surrounded by the pressure of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
His main body followed behind like an ordinary martial artist.
"Sure enough, a Foundation Establishment ancestor!"
"Looking at his appearance, he should have cultivated some kind of youth-preserving technique..."
A group of Qi Condensation cultivators bowed one after another, congratulating: "Congratulations to the senior on your successful Foundation Establishment, from now on long life..."
"Hmm, reward!"
Fang Xing made a gesture, and the main body behind him immediately took out some low-grade spirit stones and scattered them casually.
"Senior is generous!"
Those late-stage Qi Condensation cultivators were still okay, but the small cultivators in the early and middle stages were overjoyed, receiving spirit stones while saying good things without stopping.
And at this time, Fang Xing's gaze had gathered on the only Foundation Establishment cultivator in the field.
Looking at his magic power fluctuations, perhaps he is no longer in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
"Fellow Daoist Fang!"
Min Yixing stepped forward, bowed first, and looked at Fang Xing's main body, his eyes suspicious.
He had originally thought that Fang Xing's main body was a protector-like existence, just restraining his aura.
But he didn't expect to meet face-to-face now, and he still felt that the other party was a mortal without magic power!
This kind of breath-concealing method is truly incredible!
"Who is this?"
Fang Xing revealed a trace of doubt.
"Senior Fang, this Senior Min Yixing is the law enforcement elder of this city, with a noble status... he has been guarding the senior outside for many days."
Manager Wang hurriedly introduced.
"So that's it, thank you Fellow Daoist Min for guarding." Fang Xing naturally knew that the so-called guarding was a joke, but he didn't hit a smiling face, so he recognized it.
"This place is noisy, why not go to my mansion to sit, how about it?" Min Yixing invited actively.
"I respectfully obey."
Fang Xing laughed, and the two turned into streams of light, flying into the sky in the envious eyes of the Qi Condensation cultivators, and disappeared quickly.
……
Min Yixing's cave dwelling actually has Rank 3 spiritual energy.
It is built on a small peak and is an exquisite and antique pavilion.
In front of the pavilion, there is also a piece of strange grass, its roots like swords, straight to the sky, and there are points of golden radiance, like fireflies dotted among them.
"This is... Sword Cage Grass?"
Fang Xing saw this lawn of several acres and couldn't help but marvel: "Using this grass as the main material, you can prepare a sword pool, which is most suitable for washing and refining flying swords..."
"Haha, fellow Daoist is indeed a sword cultivator."
Min Yixing invited Fang Xing to the second floor of the pavilion and personally made tea: "This is my treasured 'Thousand Rocks Competing for Beauty,' taste it."
"Fellow Daoist invited me here, I'm afraid it's not just for tea, right?" Fang Xing said pointedly.
"Haha, exactly, may I ask fellow Daoist, what is your relationship with the Zhou family extermination case?"
After Min Yixing finished speaking, his eyes stared fixedly at the main body behind Fang Xing.
Fang Xing's main body smiled slightly and sat down directly: "It is my doing!"
"Why?"
Min Yixing frowned.
"My nephew went there to refine a Foundation Establishment Pill, and Old Ghost Zhou actually deceived him, so I killed them all." Fang Xing shrugged.
"So that's it, then the Zhou family deserved it; my Daoist Zi Yuan Xiancheng is based on honest business, and the most taboo is big shops bullying customers..."
Min Yixing nodded, seemingly believing it directly: "By the way, I forgot to tell fellow Daoist... the Ziqing Pool Zhou family was exterminated by robbery cultivators a few days ago, and now on this land, there is no Zhou family name anymore."
As soon as this was said, Fang Xing couldn't help but be silent.
If he hadn't killed the Zhou family ancestor, presumably the Zhou family could have lived very stably.
But this matter could come a hundred times, and he would definitely still kill the Zhou family ancestor; there is no second possibility.
"I don't know if fellow Daoist and your nephew have any plans to open up spiritual land for cultivation? If you have... I can make the decision to let you rent Ziqing Pool, how about it?"
Min Yixing suddenly opened his mouth.
"Ziqing Pool, a place for cultivation?"
Fang Xing fell into deep thought.
After the immortal cultivation clone Foundation Establishment, he does need a Rank 2 spiritual land to supply cultivation.
But at the same time, he was more shocked: 'The cultivators in this world are really cold... the Zhou family ancestor's connections were abandoned by everyone after he died, especially after I Foundation Establishment... and then turned around to cooperate with me...'
This made Fang Xing feel a sense of impermanence in the world.
'However, this is a test, right?'
After he figured it out, he smiled lightly and answered: "I have no intention of establishing any forces, it's enough to have a Rank 2 cave dwelling in Daoist Zi Yuan Xiancheng to cultivate..."
"So that's it, it was my recklessness."
Min Yixing took a sip of spiritual tea, and no expression could be seen on his face.
