Thirty years have passed by in a hurry. This has been the most comfortable thirty years since Xu Wen embarked on the path of cultivation.
Without the influence of fighting, and with the company of his beloved wife, the yin and yang complement each other, and the red sleeves add fragrance to the Tao at night, the cultivation life suddenly has a sweet flavor.
There is no shortage of cultivation resources, with spiritual stones, spiritual rice, spiritual peaches, moonlight essence, etc. being supplied in various ways.
It not only helps with cultivation, but also satisfies the appetite and spiritual desires.
Occasionally when we were tired, we would go with Hai Zhenzhu and call Chu Yin, Zhang Jiuting and others to invite friends to go around.
This is the way to cultivate immortality and seek the great road, and this is the life that a person among immortals should have.
If you are like what is said in a certain point and many articles, you will intrigue and fight all day long, or even hide in an underground cave where the sun is not visible and torture yourself to practice hard.
Is that still cultivating immortality? Is it completely self-abuse?
Cultivation of immortality and seeking the great road will lead to longevity and greater freedom.
Longevity is the end, and freedom is the foundation. If you put the cart before the horse, you are on the wrong track.
After thirty years of happy and peaceful life, Hai Zhenzhu's cultivation has taken a step forward and entered the middle stage of foundation building, which is similar to Nie Laojiu and Chu Yin, and even better than Zhang Jiuting and Liu Minghe.
As the Taoist couple improves their cultivation, Xu Wen, a seven-foot man, naturally cannot lag behind others. The breakthrough to the late stage of foundation building is just around the corner.
It is difficult to seek the way, and it is more difficult to reach the sky. The farther you go, the narrower and steeper the road becomes, and it is insurmountable.
The environment in Jietian City is peaceful, there is no shortage of spiritual things, and there is no confusion in Taoism. However, after forty years of hard training, he finally got the chance to break through the situation.
With a wave of his hand, three second-level spiritual peaches were smashed together, and the fresh peach juice was poured into the amber bowl containing the essence of moonlight.
Two high-grade spiritual stones flew out, and with a jolt of magic power, the spiritual stones shattered into pieces. The pure spiritual energy had no time to escape and was forced into the amber bowl.
The essence of moonlight, peach juice, and high-grade spiritual energy merged quietly, like a combination of essence, energy, and spirit. The amber bowl suddenly lit up with the light of jade flowers, like the legendary nectar and jade liquid.
It's elegant, long, and restrained. Just one whiff made Xu Wen feel the mana surging all over his body.
After taking spiritual things for so long, this is a rule that Xu Wen and the two discovered. The reasonable blending of the three in a certain proportion will have a much better effect than taking them one by one.
Sea Pearl gave it a nice name, called Sanguang Jade Liquid.
No longer hesitating, he drank the Sanguang Jade Liquid worth tens of thousands of gold in one gulp, and the already impatient mana burst out like burning fire cooking oil.
Overcoming obstacles and defeating generals all the way, leading straight to the majestic road.
Before the dark wounds on the body caused by the rush of mana could appear, they were smoothed away by the essence of the Sanguang Jade Liquid.
Trying to control the violent magic power, the soul will inevitably feel tense and uncomfortable, but as soon as this feeling appears, it is quietly eliminated by the Sanguang Jade Liquid.
After a long time, the restless and violent atmosphere gradually became calm and restrained, and the later stage of foundation building was quietly completed.
To Xu Wen, time seemed to have passed only a moment, but the hundreds of middle-grade spiritual stones he had placed around him had all been consumed.
At the later stage of foundation building, unless you stay at a higher level of spiritual veins, it is difficult for ordinary spiritual veins to help cultivators.
Since practicing, most of his breakthroughs have been like walking on thin ice or facing an abyss. This is the easiest breakthrough for him.
Calculating the time, with the multiple bonuses from the environment and spiritual objects, it did not take much time for him to advance to the late stage of foundation building. It would be nearly forty years, which was slightly faster than the early stage of foundation building to the middle stage of foundation building.
He is just over a hundred years old now. Compared with the 360 years of foundation building, he is still a young man.
As long as he can complete the foundation construction within forty or fifty years, he will have three or four chances to attack the golden elixir.
With his accumulation and the help of many spiritual objects, the success rate of promotion will not be much lower than that of promotion and foundation building.
Even in big sects such as Zhiyuanmen and Bazhoushan, those who can have such confidence are absolute core disciples, seeds among golden elixir seeds.
After thinking about this, Xu Wen suddenly opened his eyes and used both hands to perform magic arts.
After a few breaths, there was a loud sound of wind and thunder, and he suddenly disappeared from the spot and appeared a few feet away.
But there was a shadow of him left on the spot, exactly like a real person. It was difficult to distinguish the true from the false. It lasted for several breaths before disappearing.
After being promoted to the later stage of foundation building, he finally mastered the most critical spell in Kunpeng Xiaoyao Jue, Wind and Thunder Flash, also known as the Shapeshifting Technique.
Unlike the Five Elements Escape Technique, which merges into the Five Elements objects, the Shadow Transformation Technique not only quickly escapes, but also uses mana to create a virtual shadow.
The deeper the magic power, the more phantoms there are. Although it is not a direct offensive technique, it is used to assist in fighting. With the wind and thunder wings, it is an excellent spell that is first-class in both offense and defense.
After practicing the spell for a while, Xu Wen took out the treasures on his body and activated the Heavenly Eye Treasure Light Technique.
Every time he advanced to a level, this magical power would inevitably be promoted accordingly. He was looking forward to what changes would happen this time.
Scanning many spiritual objects one by one, there is no obvious difference.
Thinking about the direction in which this magical power had changed in the past few times, Xu Wen tentatively looked at the storage bag. Several rays of precious light rose from the storage bag, intersecting with the precious light of the storage bag itself.
Turning to the black jade ring, several things inside it seemed like seeing them in person.
After being promoted to the Heavenly Eye Treasure Light Technique, he could actually penetrate the cover of the storage bag and see the treasure inside.
"good!"
Even though Xu Wen had seen many kinds of treasures and supernatural powers, he couldn't help but slap his thigh heavily at this moment and cheered loudly!
The storage bag is not absolutely safe. Some special magical powers may bypass the space barrier and detect the things inside.
However, this kind of magical power is either extremely limited or time-consuming and labor-intensive. In either case, it is not within the reach of foundation-building monks, and it is far from as easy and convenient as the Heavenly Eye Treasure Light Technique.
With this magical power, Xu Wen can predict the enemy's opportunities whether he is fighting against others or otherwise.
In the thin line between life and death, the first move is often the difference between life and death, which naturally makes Xu Wen extremely happy.
But what makes him even more happy is that after the foundation building period, the changes in the Heavenly Eye Baoguang Technique are getting bigger and bigger.
From the beginning of penetrating ordinary obstructions and mana, to now penetrating storage bags, it is changing from purely auxiliary spells to offensive spells.
This is just foundation building. If you advance to the golden elixir, this magical power will definitely show stronger power.
Thinking about it, this magical power is probably the original spell that leads directly to the avenue. If it is only used as a purely auxiliary function, it will not be worthy of the name of the original spell.
After remaining quiet for a few more days, stabilizing his state and adapting to the changes in mana, Xu Wen broke through the barrier and came out.
Hai Zhenzhu was already waiting outside. Looking at Xu Wen who was looking relaxed, she immediately understood that everything was going well. She stepped forward with a smile on her face and gave him a full embrace.
After talking warmly for a long time, the two sat down side by side. Hai Zhenzhu took out two transmission notes and said:
"Brother, Chu Xingyun and Yulongwu are urging you again. Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Brother Chu are here to ask for your opinion."
The agreed time has passed, and the Ancestor Cave Mansion is on the agenda again.
Chu Xingyun and Yulong Wu have not yet completed the foundation building process, but over the years, they have developed several powerful magical powers.
Long before Xu Wen went into seclusion, they had made several attempts to explore the Immortal Cave again, but Xu Wen and the other three had pushed them back.
Of course, both Chu Yin and Zhang Jiuting knew that what Chu Xingyun really valued was Xu Wen.
Over the years, although Xu Wen has spent his main energy on cultivation, he still spent a lot of energy on formations in his spare time, and has promoted the position of formation master to the first level.
Combining the modular and concise thinking of his previous life, he also tried to make several small magic weapons, which greatly facilitated the lives of ordinary casual cultivators and was quite famous among the casual cultivators in Jietian City.
The ancestors' cave has many institutions, and formation masters are indispensable.
Chu Xingyun has also been studying the art of formations over the years, but formations are the most important talent. He spent a lot of time and was only an entry-level formation master, far behind Xu Wen.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Wen slowly said:
"It's better to go and discuss a time with them."
In fact, after the investigation that year, Xu Wen and the others had completed their commitments in the deal, and they could no longer pay attention to the requests of Chu Xingyun and others.
But people in this world naturally cannot act like this. To do so is simply to find enemies for yourself and make the whole world hate you.
Moreover, there are indeed some opportunities in that cave and it is worth exploring.
Hai Zhenzhu was obviously a little reluctant. With their current cultivation conditions, such a risky thing was actually unnecessary.
But she also understood Xu Wen's scruples, so she didn't stalk him, she just whispered:
"I will go with you!"
Xu Wen didn't want Haizhu to take the risk with him. Haizhu's firm face and determined eyes clearly told him that she had to go. If Xu Wen didn't agree, she would be angry.
The hardest thing to accept is the kindness of a beautiful woman. Reassuring your lover is the most important thing a man should do.
As for life and death, Xu Wen was confident that he could survive intact, otherwise he would not have participated.
After thinking for a while, he nodded and said:
"Okay, let's go together!"
"We, husband and wife, are of the same mind, and our sharpness can cut through metal. This time we have to figure out what kind of dragon pool and tiger's den that cave is."
Ten days later, everyone gathered outside Jietian City again. This time the people were somewhat different from last time.
Xu Wen had more sea pearls here, but Zhang Jiuting did not participate.
He was still in the early stages of foundation building, and it was too dangerous for him to explore this cave. The last time he explored it, he barely put any effort into it and simply gave up.
On Chu Xingyun's side, Bao Hengye was seriously injured last time and was basically cut off from his journey. He didn't come this time. He was replaced by his older brother, Bao Hengguo, who was in the late stage of foundation building.
The two companions of Yulong Wu that day all died. This time she brought two newcomers, both of her relatives, Yu Shenzhou in the late stage of foundation establishment, and Yu Baifu in the middle stage of foundation establishment.
Of course, both those who participated and those who withdrew had an agreement with Chu Xingyun that within a hundred years, the location of the ancestor's cave could not be revealed, nor could it be explored privately.
As for who will supervise this, the long life of a cultivator is the best supervisor.
Compared with the last time, the number of people in this expedition team has not changed, but the strength has been greatly enhanced. There are five people in the late stage of foundation building, and none in the early stage of foundation building.
Xu Wen did not hide his cultivation. Sensing Xu Wen's cultivation in the later stages of foundation building, Chu Xingyun could not help but be secretly shocked at how quickly Xu Wen's cultivation improved.
However, for an exploration team, this is obviously a good thing. He laughed, stepped forward and pulled Xu and asked:
"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Xu for improving your magic power. Let me introduce you..."
After some introduction, everyone knew each other and roughly knew the characteristics of each other's spells and magic weapons.
This is an indispensable step for a real expedition team. Otherwise, if they encounter a battle, they will not only be unable to cooperate but also hold each other back.
After exchanging a few words, everyone began to discuss how to distribute the spoils.
Being an official for thousands of miles is only for wealth, and taking risks and adventures is just for spiritual stones. Mature people will never think that it is embarrassing to talk about interests.
Those who cannot do this, whether individuals or organizations, are either immature or too weak.
During the first expedition, because Chu Xingyun paid for the Foundation Establishment Pill and other spiritual items in advance, it was equivalent to hiring Xu Wen and others, and they had to give up a lot in the distribution of the spoils.
But this time it is pure cooperation, and the previous distribution method is definitely not feasible.
After some discussion, as the organizers of the expedition and the discoverers of the ancestral cave, Chu Xingyun and the others still retained the right to first select the loot.
Others are allocated according to the amount of effort.
