One month later, on the top of the main peak of Qingzhu Mountain, in a secret room in a certain courtyard.
Lin Tianfeng clasped his hands together and breathed evenly, consolidating his cultivation.
I don't know how much time passed, but after he finished the exercise, he opened his closed eyes and felt the overwhelming power in his body, with a thick smile on his face.
This time, the process of attacking the foundation-building realm was relatively smooth. He broke through the foundation-building bottleneck after just a few attacks, which surprised him.
However, when he felt the effect of the Foundation Establishment Pill and recalled the gentle spiritual power and huge energy when he broke through, he felt relieved.
Lin Tianfeng chuckled and whispered to himself:
"No wonder those Jindan sects can endure for a long time. This Foundation Establishment Pill plays a vital role. In addition, they have many talented disciples. The bottleneck of the Foundation Establishment realm is not a big obstacle to them. "
After regaining his consciousness, he stood up and left the secret room.
In less than a cup of tea, he arrived at the cave where Lin Shilu was.
At this time, Lin Shilu and Lin Shihua were sitting opposite each other, drinking tea, chatting and laughing, looking very happy.
Lin Tianfeng quickly stepped forward to salute with clasped fists, and respectfully said: "Tianfeng pays homage to the twelfth grandpa, and pays homage to the fifteenth grandpa!"
Lin Shilu chuckled and waved his hand and said: "Tianfeng, don't be too polite, come and sit!"
Lin Tianfeng then raised his head, walked over, found a free seat, sat down, and stopped talking.
Seeing Lin Tianfeng's somewhat restrained look, Lin Shilu smiled and told him not to be nervous.
Lin Tianfeng nodded awkwardly, and then chatted with the two elders, reporting some breakthrough experiences and feelings.
After a while, Lin Xingzhi and Lin Xingcheng, who had completed their cultivation, came together to pay tribute to the two elders.
The two of them looked excited and seemed to have not yet calmed down. They paid homage respectfully and acted very sincerely.
Lin Shilu pulled the two of them up with an easy-going smile, and then asked a few people to sit down. After chatting for a few words, he began to teach some cultivation experience, which benefited a few people a lot.
The three generations, old and young, chatted for a long time before they left and were busy with their own affairs.
A few days later, Lin Tianming was in the secret room.
He sat on the ground. Although his face was slightly pale, the sweat on his forehead dripped on the ground, and his clothes were already wet with sweat, he still looked like an old monk in trance, and his thick body looked very upright.
He has been holding on to this posture for a year.
For a year, he stayed at home and concentrated on practicing in seclusion.
Under such hard work, his cultivation has reached the peak of the third level of foundation building, and he is ready to try to break through to the fourth level of foundation building.
At this time, he had already tried several attacks, but all ended in failure.
He was not surprised at all. Entering the fourth level of foundation building was the realm of the middle stage of foundation building. It was very difficult to break through the bottleneck at this level. It was several times more difficult than breaking through the third level of the second level of foundation building.
Undeterred, he plucked up the courage again and tried the fifth impact. He had reached the critical moment of breakthrough.
He looked determined at this moment, gathering his spiritual power together and preparing to launch the final attack.
In his Qihai Dantian, the gathered spiritual power was like a flood, hitting the bottleneck on the fourth floor of the foundation.
Over and over again, I don’t know how long it has been.
Just when his whole body was about to be paralyzed and his consciousness was a little blurred, a sudden warmth spread throughout his body, like a body of mud suddenly falling into warm water. The comfortable feeling made people feel comfortable.
Lin Tianming was overjoyed and quickly put his consciousness into the body to observe.
In his own dantian, the solidified spiritual power merged into the greater qihai dantian, and then quickly became more viscous.
Not only that, when the barrier was breached, a large amount of energy emerged from his body, washing his body.
A fishy smell came, and some foul-smelling dirt suddenly oozed from his body.
This was obviously because after the breakthrough, the spiritual power combined with the medicinal power contained in his body strengthened his body again. This situation had happened many times, and he didn't take it to heart at all.
He clasped his palms together and circulated the technique for a large circle. When the true energy spread throughout his body through his veins, he let out a long sigh.
It has been nearly five years since breaking through the third level of foundation building to now.
After five years, he experienced the baptism of the training journey, and his cultivation was extremely solid. He refined the only two lotus seeds of the seven-color golden lotus, plus three years of concentrated retreat, and finally successfully broke through the bottleneck.
Even though he worked so hard, he got the rewards he deserved.
Feeling the vigorous spiritual power and explosive power all over the body, it is thicker and more solid than before, and the energy contained is also more powerful.
After finally calming down, he did not get up immediately, but began to exercise his skills and adjust his breath, preparing to consolidate his cultivation to avoid falling due to instability after the breakthrough.
He sat on the ground and circulated the technique for a large circle, quickly circulating the spiritual power throughout his body.
Half a month has passed...
In the practice room, Lin Tianming, who was sitting on the floor, opened his closed eyes, and two rays of light flashed from the corners of his eyes.
Lin Tianming stood up and felt the vigorous spiritual power in his body. It was running extremely smoothly. Every move contained great energy, which was more than twice as strong as when he was on the third floor of the foundation.
Now it has broken through to the fourth level of foundation building and entered the middle stage of foundation building.
If he had to fight those three mid-level second-order unicorn beasts again, he would be sure to easily defeat them without using any spiritual skills.
He clenched his fists, and several crackling sounds were heard all over his body, echoing in the quiet chamber.
After consolidating himself in seclusion for a period of time, his cultivation level was stabilized at the fourth level of foundation building and was very stable.
"Huhu..." He breathed out.
Looking at the smelly black mud on his body, he pinched it with one hand, cast a five-element spell, cleaned the dirt on his body, and put on a new set of green shirt.
After doing this, he got used to tidying up the secret room again, and then walked out of the secret room and appeared in the small courtyard of the cave.
"They haven't left seclusion for a long time. Tianyue and the others should have returned to the family. A few years have passed. I don't know how her and her mother's cultivation has improved. Whether they have met the basic requirements for the foundation building period."
Lin Tianming thought to himself, and after sending two summonses, he quickly walked out of the cave, preparing to visit his grandfather first.
After a while, he came to the alchemy hall and met Lin Shigong.
Lin Shigong was very satisfied when he saw that Lin Tianming had come out of seclusion and his cultivation had reached the fourth level of foundation building.
And he himself has practiced very hard in the past few years, but his cultivation has been stuck at the peak of the second level of foundation building, and there is no sign of breaking through to the third level of foundation building.
"Sigh... It's true that he is older, and the talent gap is not small, so every step forward is extremely difficult." Lin Shigong thought to himself.
Soon he came back to his senses. The grandfather and grandson sat opposite each other, and Lin Tianming asked about various things that had happened to the family in recent years.
After Lin Shigong finished speaking, he learned that Lin Tianfeng, Lin Xingzhi, and Lin Xingcheng had successfully broken through the foundation building a year ago without any failure, which shocked Lin Tianming.
"The success rate is too high. Is the Foundation Establishment Pill so effective?" Lin Tianming thought to himself.
Soon he returned to normal, his face was extremely excited, and he asked about his parents and sister.
According to what Lin Shigong said, his father came back once during his retreat, and his cultivation level exceeded the third level of the foundation building. He was transferred to Qianchuanfang City to replace Lin Xingping, and Jinjiao Mountain was handed over to the replacement Lin Xingping to guard it.
As for the mother and sister, they have all entered the Qi Refining Dzogchen cultivation level for a while and need to settle for two years before they can try to hit the foundation building stage.
At this time, Lin Tianming felt emotional that the next few years would still be extremely critical for the Lin family.
Although Lin Tianfeng and the others have broken through the Foundation Establishment, there will probably be more tribesmen who attack the Foundation Establishment in the future. The Tianzi generation tribesmen like Lin Tianhong and Lin Tianqin have reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and many Xingzi generation tribesmen have also reached this level. As long as the Foundation Establishment Pill is enough, the family will have no shortage of clan members above the ninth level of Qi Refining.
A few years ago, the family was in a gap period and lacked clan members above the ninth level of Qi refining.
This is a huge change to the current situation, and the family has really begun to make a qualitative leap.
Thinking of these, he was extremely excited. Lin Shigong also became excited due to Lin Tianming's emotions.
The grandfather and grandson finally calmed down, and after chatting for a few words, they walked out of the alchemy hall and walked towards the small courtyard of the cave where their mother lived.
After receiving his summons, his mother and sister had finished their retreat and were waiting for their grandfather and grandson to arrive in advance.
Lin Tianming still misses his mother and sister after not seeing them for several years, and his steps have become much faster.
After a while, the two of them entered a familiar courtyard. Their mother and sister quickly came over to say hello.
Seeing the mother and daughter, Lin Shigong smiled and waved his hands, and the four of them sat in the small courtyard and started chatting.
Her mother was filled with joy when she learned that Lin Tianming had successfully broken through the fourth level of foundation building. She had always felt reassured about Lin Tianming's cultivation. His cultivation was far ahead of his peers, and even the Xingzi tribe was left behind by him. Thinking of it, He felt extremely proud of these.
The younger sister is a little frustrated. They are brother and sister, and her own talent is not bad. Although she is not as good as her elder brother, she is still among the top among her peers.
In the past, during the Qi refining stage, the gap in cultivation between the brother and sister was not obvious, but now it is getting wider and wider, reaching several levels.
"Sigh... If you don't work hard, it will be even harder to catch up with your brother!" Lin Tianyue frowned and thought to himself.
Seeing Lin Tianyue's expression, Lin Shigong quickly guessed it and quickly spoke to comfort her.
"Cultivation does not mean you can make progress by practicing in seclusion. It requires experience and opportunities. Furthermore, among your peers, your cultivation speed is already extremely fast. Except for a few people who can match it, it is not easy."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Tianming also started to persuade.
"Yes Tianyue, blindly practicing in seclusion will only make your cultivation impetuous. If you don't experience the crisis of life and death, even if you are given endless pills, your progress will be limited."
Hearing what her grandfather and grandson said, she had indeed not participated in training for a long time. Lin Tianyue nodded thoughtfully, secretly making up her mind to practice well, polish her cultivation, and try the foundation building stage again.
Thinking of this, she said: "Grandpa, brother, tomorrow I will invite the third sister and the others to have some experience in the Luoyun Mountains. What do you think?"
Looking at Lin Tianyue's firm eyes, Lin Tianming still wouldn't hurt her self-confidence and quickly talked about his suggestions.
"It is indeed feasible, but the Luoyun Mountain Range has been cleaned up now. The previous safety line has been extended for hundreds of miles into the interior, but the monsters on the edge are very different from before. They are powerful, and they are for Brother I don’t dare to enter easily.”
"If you form a team and go to the outer area, it won't be useful at all. Going to the inner area is too dangerous."
Lin Tianming thought about the embarrassing scene when fighting three unicorn beasts, and couldn't help feeling scared. He then continued:
"If you really want to experience it, you can consider the remote remnants of the Luoyun Mountains. Not many monks have set foot in those places, and you might be able to encounter some treasures that no one has discovered."
"What's more important is that the strength of the monsters is not very high. There are at most one or two mid-level second-order monsters. Most of them are late first-order or early second-order monsters. If you form a team, you will still be able to deal with an early second-order monster. It can be done.”
"Yes, Girl Yue, Tianming is right. It is too dangerous to go inside the Luoyun Mountains. Those remaining veins are very good!" Lin Shigong agreed.
"Understood, let's go to those remaining veins. I have a lot of second-level talismans on me, and countless first-level ones. Together with Third Sister, plus Tianhu and the others, we can deal with an early second-level monster. It shouldn’t be a big problem.”
"As long as you know it, don't be greedy for success and try to be more cautious!" Lin Shigong warned.
Seeing what his grandfather had said, Lin Tianming didn't say much. He had long heard that Lin Tianhu had outstanding talents and was shining brightly among the Tianzi generation. His cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining and he had rich experience in fighting. He was no better than Lin Tianfeng. Difference.
For such a ruthless person, his cultivation speed is lower than that of Lin Tianming. Even Lin Tianyue, who has always had superior conditions, feels inferior. His strength is unrivaled among his peers.
With him training with him, the clan members who are training should not be in much danger.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming changed the topic and discussed the method of alchemy with his grandfather.
After more than ten years, Lin Shigong has been immersed in alchemy. The success rate of refining second-level low-grade elixirs has been very high. There are more and more foundation-building monks in the family, which consumes a lot of elixirs. In addition, he has to train young clan members. Alchemy and tedious family affairs seriously hindered his practice.
He didn't care about this, he knew very well that it was very difficult for him to break through the foundation building, his potential was almost exhausted, and the hope of breaking through the golden elixir stage was too slim, so he might as well study the elixir path with all his heart and do his best for the family.
Lin Tianming also persuaded him, saying that he was still young and if he had some heaven-defying treasures, it would not be impossible for him to make a breakthrough.
However, Grandpa was not moved at all, and there was nothing he could do.
Lin Shigong chuckled and dismissed the matter for the time being, finally bringing back the heavy atmosphere.
Half an hour later, Lin Tianming and his grandson left the cave and went about their own affairs.
After leaving his mother's cave, he walked on the bluestone square at the top of the main peak.
Walking to the courtyard of his cave, he bumped into Lin Tianfeng and Lin Tianhong.
Seeing Lin Tianming, Lin Tianfeng and Lin Tianfeng looked happy and hurriedly walked up to say hello. "Tianming, are you out of seclusion?"
"Brother, congratulations on successfully building the foundation!" Lin Tianming clasped his fists and smiled.
Lin Tianfeng smiled bitterly, and then said: "Sixth brother, there is no need to become a brother like this. You have already established the third level of foundation. The gap in cultivation between our brothers is getting wider and wider!"
"Yeah...Sixth brother is getting stronger and stronger now, and the gap between us is getting wider and wider. I'm afraid the gap will widen even further in the future, and we probably won't be able to catch up again!" Lin Tianhong also interjected.
Seeing what the two said, Lin Tianming felt helpless and could only say a few words of comfort.
"Brothers, you are overthinking it. In the later stages of cultivation, it becomes more and more difficult to break through. My little brother, it took me five years to break through a realm, and the interval will be even longer. Without the help of treasures, it will be difficult for me to break through to a level in ten years."
"And once you enter the foundation building stage, it will not be difficult to practice in the front, and you will be able to catch up with me soon!"
Lin Tianming's comfort made the two of them look firm, and a glimmer of hope secretly burned in their hearts.
Lin Tianfeng then invited Lin Tianming and Lin Tianfeng to go to his cave for a small gathering, and the two readily agreed.
After a while, the three of them came to a courtyard, which was in the same area as Lin Tianming's cave, not far apart.
With Lin Tianfeng's success in foundation building, the Tianzi generation welcomed the second foundation building monk, and the empty courtyard gradually had an owner.
Sitting in the small courtyard, the three brothers drank tea and chatted, chatting and laughing, having a rare moment of leisure.
Soon, Lin Xingzhi and Lin Xingcheng also rushed over. Seeing Lin Tianming here, Lin Xingzhi said excitedly: "Tianming, I thought you hadn't left seclusion. We happened to meet you today, so we have to get together."
Lin Tianming chuckled. He just came out of seclusion today. Only his grandfather and mother knew that Lin Tianfeng just happened to meet him. It was normal for them not to know.
However, he was very excited when he heard the news about their foundation building. He planned to visit them to congratulate them, but he didn't expect to meet them here.
After regaining his composure, he chuckled and replied: "Congratulations to the two clan uncles for breaking through the foundation building and adding a few more foundation pillars to the family."
"Haha... The foundation pillar is not worth it. It's just a fluke. If we say that all of us have benefited from you over the years, otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult to break through the foundation building in this life." Lin Xing said sincerely.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xingzhi also sighed. "Yeah...if Tianming hadn't obtained the White Jade Grass from the secret realm, it's hard to say whether we could have built the foundation!"
After getting together, the atmosphere reached its peak again.
The five of them drank and chatted happily while exchanging their cultivation experiences. Everyone gained a lot.
The lively party lasted until late at night, before everyone got up and said goodbye.
Lin Tianming and others were walking on the bluestone road together. Lin Xingcheng and Lin Xingzhi lived in the courtyard area of the Xingzi clan. Lin Tianhong had not yet built a foundation and lived in his father's courtyard.
Lin Xingzhi and Lin Tianming invited Lin Tianming to get together on another day. He agreed easily, then said goodbye to a few people and returned to his cave.
Sitting on the futon in the secret room, he clasped his hands together, moved the technique familiarly, and began to practice.
