Before trying to break through the foundation building, Chen Dengming secretly meditated on some essential formulas in the "Detailed Explanation of Foundation Building" in his mind, silently guarded the mourning platform, and began to mobilize the aura of his Dantian to go to the entrance.
"The Tao is in one orifice at the entrance, and the orifice contains the vitality and essence. The essence and vitality nourish the soul, and the spirit is filled with natural movement and stillness. Movement and stillness turn three times and nine times, and the circulation changes the universe.
The spirit is silent, the energy is dark, the energy returns to the mysterious orifice, and the breath is left to nature."
The more the mantra revolved in his mind, the more Chen Dengming entered the state.
With the utmost emptiness, a calm state of mind, and his past foundation in martial arts, he easily entered a state where Qi returned to the mysterious aperture, where he could rest and let nature take its course.
With the spiritual energy flowing throughout the body, when you reach Xiao Zhoutian, follow the steps and take a 'Maoyou bath' to rest.
Maoyou refers to the position in the Xiao Zhoutian stage, not the time. The place in front of the human body, the navel and the kidneys, is called Maoyou.
When bathing in Xiaozhoutian, it means resting.
Soon, this energy traveled to the Great Zhoutian.
At this time, the spiritual energy continues to swim upwards in the body, which is the stage of foundation building.
According to the detailed explanation of foundation building, we must accumulate the power of the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit throughout the body and make them not leak out.
This requires locking the natural leakage channels of the human body.
The only way to truly ensure the success of foundation building is to keep the land closed forever.
This time of permanent closure takes most people a hundred days or even a year.
Only a very small number of people with extremely strong accumulation may complete it in three to seven days, so there is also a saying of building a foundation in a hundred days.
Chen Dengming once understood that if the house is not leaking, does it mean that the nose is blocked?
In Taoist terms, the place of residence is called a person's nose.
Building the foundation is to keep the nose from leaking. According to the understanding of modern people in previous generations, isn't it just a cold and stuffy nose?
If the nose is not ventilated, it will naturally not leak. If a cold and nasal congestion lasts for a hundred days, the foundation building will be successful.
This is not the case.
This air that does not leak is not ordinary air such as breathing, but the condensed energy of the Three Treasures of the human body.
If this breath is missed, not only will the foundation building fail, but the vitality will be severely damaged. This is why it is said that the first time the foundation building fails, the success rate will be even lower the second time, and the third time there will be almost no hope.
Because the vitality damage is too great and involves life potential, it is almost irreparable.
However, when it comes to life potential in the book, Chen Dengming has a bold idea.
But because he is cautious by nature, this idea carries huge risks. He cannot be 100% sure, and he only dares to think about it in his mind. He will not try it unless it is absolutely necessary.
…
At this time, as Qi became more concentrated, Chen Dengming only felt a whining sound in his Dantian.
The spiritual power in his body became stronger and stronger, and the range of his perception of the spiritual energy around him was also expanding. Gradually, his face shone brightly and his eyes were dazzling.
Outside the house, Li Rong lives next door. After being persuaded by some neighbors, Li Rong reluctantly used the donkey down the slope to stop embarrassing his daughter. Suddenly, he felt a powerful and heart-stopping aura.
"Cousin is here?"
Li Rong was stunned.
Li Xue, whose eyes were red from crying after being scolded and beaten, also screamed with joy when she felt the spiritual power, "Uncle, my father hit me again."
"You girl!"
Li Rong cursed lowly and looked back at the door but there was no one there.
Neighbors all around also came out to watch, talked a lot, and looked at Chen Dengming's house in surprise.
Li Rong also looked over in surprise, and was shocked when he determined that this powerful spiritual power came from Lao Gao's house.
"What's going on? Lao Gao invited a foundation-building monk to be a guest at home?"
Although this spiritual power is much weaker than his brother's, it is definitely stronger than that of a Qi-training monk. He must be a Foundation-building monk.
Li Rong immediately looked at the girl Li Xue.
"I don't know." Li Xue almost didn't ask Li Rong to ask, and immediately shook his head in confusion.
At this moment, the powerful spiritual power from Chen Dengming's residence quickly shrank back like the ebbing tide.
Feeling this strange scene, Li Rong's heart moved and a shocking thought came to his mind.
"Is this fellow Taoist Gao trying to break through the foundation building?"
He himself was shocked by this thought.
A tenth-level qi-training monk who can start trying to break through the foundation building, how rich a foundation must he have accumulated?
It is not that after reaching the tenth level of Qi training, you can try to break through the foundation building. It still takes a long time to accumulate, so that the spiritual energy of this state reaches its peak. When the spirit, energy and spirit are at their most perfect, the spirit is complete and the energy is sufficient. Only then can you try to break through.
Among ordinary casual cultivators, it is considered a big deal to have a tenth-level Qi practitioner. Almost all of them are worshiped by cultivating families. While working for the family, they enjoy the resources provided by the family and slowly accumulate knowledge, and only then will they reach the opportunity for breakthrough.
It is really difficult for a casual cultivator with no financial support to reach this point alone.
In the room at this time.
Chen Dengming slowly contracted his spiritual energy. After some experience, he gave up his reckless approach and chose to break through.
He felt that it still lacked some heat and could not maintain a long-term state of keeping the land intact.
"Huo Hou" refers to the use of subtleties such as the changes and movement of Qi during the practice process.
At present, he cannot maintain this subtlety.
Because when his three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit were condensed and rushed to the top, although his spiritual roots were shaken and swayed, they produced extremely strong resistance.
When the energy and energy passed through the spiritual root, he had only moved forward one-fifth of the way, and his energy and energy were almost squeezed apart.
This is the Five Elements Mountain in the foundation building.
The feeling of breaking through the foundation building is like the earth falling apart, a feeling like Sun Wukong jumping out of the Five Elements Mountain.
All of a sudden, I broke out of the shackles and gained great liberation and freedom!
I want to ask, this kind of breakthrough is so big, how difficult would it be to concentrate the 'spirit, energy, and spirit' completely by one's mind and will without losing any breath, and directly rush through the level?
Chen Dengming remained cautious and followed what was said in "Detailed Explanation of Foundation Building". He just tested the door first to develop his feelings and did not rush directly into the gate.
If you fail to pass the level, the vitality of the Three Treasures of Essence, Qi, Shen, and Shen will be leaked, and your life potential will be lost, which will be a huge loss.
It is said in the book that for those with low-grade spiritual roots, the perfect success rate of breaking through the foundation building is only 10%. If it is not perfect, it may not even be 10%.
The so-called perfection means that one’s personal character, environment, current state of the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit must be taken into consideration.
If all these factors are perfect, there is only a 10% success rate.
Because the low-grade spiritual roots are too heavy in the 'image' induction, they are like the Five Elements Mountain with the Tathagata talisman attached to it. Monkey Sun cannot lift the mountain even if he wants to.
For those with middle-grade spiritual roots, the perfect success rate of breaking through the foundation building is 30%.
For those with high-grade spiritual roots, the perfect success rate of breaking through the foundation building is 80%.
The function of the Foundation Establishment Pill is to provide powerful medicinal power to enhance personal foundation, strengthen and condense the Three Treasures of Essence, Qi and Shen within a certain period of time, helping people to break through barriers in one go.
"Generally, after taking the Foundation Establishment Pill, the success rate of Foundation Establishment can be increased by 30%. Therefore, the Foundation Establishment Pill is extremely precious and is very difficult for disciples of large sects such as the Longevity Sect to obtain. They have to fight for it."
Chen Dengming got up from the futon on the floor and paced around the room, "It depends on competition. I'm a casual cultivator, so I won't think about that much for the time being, let's not talk about whether there is such an opportunity.
Even if there is, it is estimated that it will be very dangerous to fight for it. It is better to do some research on your own and slowly break through."
After just giving it a try, Chen Dengming found that it seemed that there was no chance.
After all, he also has a high-grade spiritual root.
Even if the two spiritual roots are in conflict, it seems that it has not had much impact for the time being, and the success rate may be quite high.
However, I am not familiar with the process yet, so I cannot rush through it in one go.
According to the explanation in "Detailed Explanation of Foundation Building", many people with medium and low spiritual roots find it difficult for their energy and spirit to penetrate deeply into the mountain of spiritual roots during the first test, let alone break through the Five Elements Mountain.
He originally thought that he would just stop at the door and not go in.
As a result, I accidentally got a fifth of it in.
Although his energy and energy were almost lost, he still managed to get out in time without any danger.
According to the "Detailed Explanation of Foundation Building", the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit must never be crushed.
When the pressure is dissipated and the Qi leaks out, the breakthrough fails.
Therefore, give it a try and try again. Don’t be too reckless and keep digging in.
If you can't get in, get out first, then explore slowly and go deeper bit by bit.
Chen Dengming concentrated slightly and checked his current status.
"Tenth level Qi training monk [Chen Dengming]
Life span: 84/238/437 (actual age/consumption/expiration date)
Spiritual roots: gold, wood (high grade 0/100)
Martial Arts: "General Guide to Chen's Martial Arts" (Dzogchen)
Taoism: "Gu Refining Chapter" (Master 77/100), "Three Yuan Spirit Gathering Technique" (Tenth Level 1000/1000), "Chen's Taoism Chapter" (Master 6/100) "Destroying Life and Pulling Out Seedlings" (Level 78/100), "Water Yin Wood Yu Poison Gu Technique" (entry level 37/100), "Horned Dragon Bone Forging Technique" (entry level 26/100)"
After breaking through to the tenth level of Qi training, his lifespan at that time was also increased by fifteen years.
Coupled with the fact that he has broken through to the basic level of "The Horned Dragon Bone Forging Technique", his lifespan has already been extended to 437 years, and he still has 199 years left to live.
If he didn't pursue the Tianling Root, which might be a bit illusory, Chen Dengming felt that a life span of almost two hundred years would be enough.
"Go out for a walk first and get some fresh air. I just tried to break through and the spiritual power I deliberately exuded must have attracted Li Rong's attention, right?"
Chen Dengming opened the door and stepped out.
At the door, there were actually many neighbors wandering around.
After seeing Chen Dengming walk out, some people immediately gave him a friendly smile, while others reached up to their necks and looked into the room with expressions of surprise and uncertainty.
At this time, Xiao Li's head suddenly appeared on the wall of the next courtyard, and then Li Rong's head appeared. The man with a sallow complexion said with a naive smile.
"Gaodao, Brother Dao, what were you trying just now?"
Li Xuexin said bluntly, "Uncle Gao, are you trying to break through the foundation building?"
"Why?"
Li Rong glanced sideways at his daughter, his eyes reproachful, and then looked at Chen Dengming embarrassedly.
Chen Dengming nodded with a smile, "Yes, I feel that I have accumulated enough recently, so I tried it a little bit, but found that it still lacked a little heat.
"Lack a little?"
Li Rongdao, "Yes, how much is missing? Are you sure? Oh, this, if it's not convenient to say it, Brother Gao Dao doesn't have to say it."
Chen Dengming muttered, "I've just tried it now, so I'm not sure yet. However, Fellow Daoist Li, you also know my spiritual root qualifications."
Li Rong hissed in his heart, his eyes were blank for a long time, and then he realized what he was doing. He immediately clasped his fists at Chen Dengming on the wall and said with a smile, "Fellow Taoist Master Gao is diligent in his practice and has extraordinary talent. He will definitely succeed. Li is here." First of all, I would like to congratulate fellow Taoist."
Chen Dengming was surprised, smiled and clasped his fists, "Gao Mou will accept Li Daoyou's good words first. After the success, I will invite Li Daoyou to have a drink to celebrate."
After a brief exchange between the two, seeing Li Rong hesitate to speak, Chen Dengming took the initiative to end the awkward conversation at the right time.
Then he opened the door and walked out of the house, preparing to go for a walk in the market. He also went to the bookstore in Fangshi to read more books related to foundation building.
Cultivation methods in the world of immortality are very important. As long as they are fundamental methods and Tao methods related to cultivation, they are the top priority of all major sects and are not easily spread to others.
But just some popular science books, legendary travel notes or treasure records are not so precious.
There are many book collections in many places, and you can borrow a lot for just a little money.
"Brother Gao Dao, stay!"
After walking a few steps, a neighbor called out to Chen Dengming, hurried over with a smile and handed Chen Dengming a gift bag.
"Fellow Taoist Ma, what are you doing?" Chen Denming looked surprised.
The monk surnamed Ma smiled naively, "Fellow Taoist Gao, you visited me last time and gave you a gift. I was worried about how to give you a gift in return. Now that you are about to break through the foundation building, I will give you the gift first. My little horse, I wish you the best. You are about to succeed!”
After saying that, seeing that Chen Dengming was still going to refuse, the monk surnamed Ma quickly excused himself and had other things to do, so he immediately slipped away.
This scene was witnessed by many monks in the surrounding area.
Some people who felt that they had a good relationship with Chen Dengming were wondering whether to go up and congratulate him. Seeing how quick and clever this soldier was, they immediately cursed secretly.
"What a flatterer! I don't usually see him being so flattering, but now he runs very fast and is very good at flattering."
"This old horse can talk. If it succeeds, it will be irresistible. My surname is Zhu. How should I wish Brother Gao Dao, Zhu, success?"
"Mother-in-law, Brother Gao Dao is a righteous person. He often sends us monsters that he hunts in daily life. This Brother Gao Dao is almost building a foundation. Do you think we should also return some gifts? How should we respond? Okay?"
In the house, Li Rong lay in the corner and eavesdropped on the discussions of the neighbors. He felt very complicated and was wondering whether he should return the favor.
Suddenly a head popped out of the wall and looked at Li Rongdao in surprise.
"Old Li, what are you doing lying in the corner? Hey, let me ask you, you usually have a good relationship with Brother Gao Dao. Do you know what Brother Gao Dao likes?"
Li Rong hurriedly left the corner in embarrassment, frowned and waved his sleeves and shouted, "I don't know, I don't know, what does he like, how do I know? You flatterer!"
"Hey, hey - you, Lao Li, you are not authentic."
The face of the monk who appeared on the wall changed. He snorted and jumped off the wall. He cursed in a low voice, "This guy surnamed Li has gotten along well with Brother Gao Dao, so he forgot about me as a brother. I want to get close to him." , he even tried to stop me and drive me away, even a dog can’t protect its food like this.”
"Dad didn't expect uncle to be so powerful, huh? Then if he becomes a foundation builder, wouldn't he be as powerful as our uncle? Then wouldn't our life be better?"
In the yard, Li Xue looked up at Li Rong and said expectantly.
Li Rong was upset for a while and waved his sleeves, "Go, go, go!"
He just rejected Chen Dengming's request more than a month ago. If someone doesn't hold grudges, it's already very generous. Will he help them again?
Thinking of this, Li Rong felt even worse, wondering why he should give Lao Gao a gift to ease the awkward relationship.
"I don't give gifts to curry favor with him. I have my cousin protecting me, so I don't need to curry favor with him.
It's just that this old man, after all, is a very nice person. He also bought a wireless kite for the girl. I should return the gift and thank him. "
"Yes, I want a gift in return!"
Thinking this way, Li Rong felt relieved and could save his face, but soon he became troubled again.
With so many neighbors giving gifts, what could he give better?
If he didn't give him something better and refused to help Lao Gao before, would the other party think that Li Rong had his own backing and was deliberately trying to make things difficult for him?
"Here."
Li Rong stood in the courtyard, looking at the girl who was still ignorant and happy, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Zeng Chen Dengming's request came to mind for no reason.
"How about I go talk to my cousin?"
"I think this old Gao is not a bad-minded person. We have been together for so long and have a very good reputation. There should be no problem."
"Moreover, if this is really a good friendship, it will also be good for my cousin. After all, Taoist Gao is about to break through the foundation building."
As soon as this thought came up, he couldn't hold it back. Li Rong wanted to leave and do it right away. He even felt a sense of urgency in his heart. He wondered whether this late 'help' could still be considered a help.
Giving help in times of need is always more useful than adding icing on the cake.
In the study room, Chen Dengming weighed the gift bag in his hand amusingly, and when he opened it, he saw ten pieces of low-grade spiritual stones.
This was obviously a return gift that Master Matthew had prepared hastily. The price could only be compared with spiritual stones, but the value was about five times higher than what he gave during his last visit. This was a thoughtful and generous gift.
He took out two pieces of spiritual stones, put them on the table, and said.
"Shopkeeper Bi, rent some books and read them."
"Okay, Brother Gao Dao, you don't have to spend the money. Just pick a few books and read them first, ah!"
Chen Dengming was startled. He immediately saw an old neighbor sitting in the house behind the bamboo curtain opposite, reading a book.
The old man also turned around at this time, saw Chen Dengming's eyes, stood up with a smile, clasped his fists and said in a loud voice, "Brother Gao Dao, I would like to congratulate you first."
"Fellow Daoist Hu, you are here too."
This old man Hu was obviously still near his home just now. How come his legs and feet were faster than him, and he went around to the study room to sit down so quickly?
Seeing the old man stuffing his hands into his sleeves, he took out a gift bag.
Chen Dengming couldn't help but feel funny.
This is serious. After ten years of Qi training, no one asked, but once the foundation was established, everyone was shocked.
He hasn't even established the foundation yet, but many quick-thinking people have already begun to actively build good relationships.
When Chen Dengming returned that day, he received many congratulatory gifts from neighbors one after another.
It was called as a return of favors from his last visit to the neighbors. As a result, every return gift was so generous that the threshold was almost broken.
Finally got clean.
Chen Dengming was wondering why Lao Li next door was so arrogant. Ever since he had an exchange with him during the day, he had stopped talking to him. Could it be that his calculation was wrong?
With this thought in his mind, Chen Dengming looked at the swaying lights on the table inside the house and listened to the wind in the courtyard outside. The hustle and bustle of the day and the crowds of people chasing after him gradually peeled away from the depths of his heart.
His mood gradually calmed down again, the glitz was gone, and he returned to his ordinary state.
Zhujili pays attention to fire, and the "fire" in Huohou refers to the soul or mind.
If the mind is not calm, how can one gather the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit, and control this power to build the foundation without missing a beat?
At this point, what can Li Rong do if he helps or not?
With help, he took advantage of the opportunity to join the Changchun Sect, which was also his established future plan.
No help, he slowly achieved the foundation on his own. In the future, he may not be able to join other sects, or go directly to the longevity sect and become a foreign affairs deacon, and then slowly plan.
When you think like this, you feel at ease.
The breeze fills the courtyard in silence, and the mind is as pure as dust.
You can hope to achieve enlightenment by building a foundation, so why bother begging for help everywhere.
