Tian Xiaoding retreated in the Qiankun Pot to attack the foundation building stage. However, the attack failed and he broke through to the eleventh level of Qi training.
This puzzled Xiao Ding.
He could not find out the real reason why he failed to build a foundation. Therefore, he felt that it might be caused by the difference in the time laws in the Qiankun Pot and the time laws in the world outside the pot.
Therefore, after he left the Qiankun Pot, he took the Foundation Establishment Pill again to try to establish the Foundation.
The final result was still the same as when he was building the foundation in the world inside the pot, he failed to advance, and the huge energy brought by the foundation building pill also penetrated into the dantian and disappeared.
Xiao Ding felt deeply desperate about this. Could it be that he would not be able to build a foundation in this life?
Failure to build the foundation means that there is no chance to step into the threshold of cultivation in this life. Because, only when the foundation is established, can it be considered as the first step in cultivating immortality. Only monks who successfully build the foundation will have the opportunity to become immortals through hard work in the future. And monks without foundation building, even if they can practice for hundreds of thousands of years, will not be able to become immortals.
Although he was very desperate, Xiao Ding still did not give up. During the following days when he was in seclusion in the cave, every three or four days, he would take a Foundation Establishment Pill and try to break through.
Of course, the results were still the same as before, with no successful breakthrough.
On the contrary, under the powerful power of the Foundation Establishment Pill, his cultivation level of the eleventh level of Qi training broke through to the twelfth level of Qi training.
This surprised Xiao Ding.
For others, the Qi training period is only ten levels. After Qi training is completed, the next level up is the foundation building period.
But when it was his turn, after completing the Qi training, he took so many foundation-building pills, but he failed to successfully build the foundation. On the contrary, it continued during the Qi training period.
After reaching the eleventh level of Qi training, he broke through to the twelfth level of Qi training under the influence of medicine. So if he breaks through in the future, will he be the thirteenth or fourteenth level of Qi training?
Xiao Ding thinks this should be very possible.
At this moment, Xiao Ding realized that he was a weirdo in the world of cultivation.
The end of the retreat is coming soon. Xiao Ding feels that he should not continue trying to build foundations in the short term. Although it is the twelfth level of Qi training, it is still not stable to rely solely on the power of medicine to improve your cultivation in a short period of time. If you continue to rely on the power of medicine to improve your cultivation, it will lead to an unstable foundation and affect your future cultivation. .
Therefore, even if you use medicine to assist in advancement, it will still take a lot of time to consolidate your cultivation.
There was still one month left before June 18th, when Xiao Ding ended this retreat. After he took Tian Xiao'e and Ou Muyun back to the village in the valley, he once again amazed everyone in the village.
Although Xiao Ding failed to successfully build the foundation, the senior sister saw at the first glance that Xiao Ding had reached the Great Perfection of Qi training. Tian Xiao'e's eighth level of Qi training and Ou Muyun's seventh level of Qi training also surprised the senior sister and others.
Li Tianliang, Deng Feng, and Shan Tong were extremely envious. They gathered around Xiao Ding and said in a nonchalant voice: "Boss, when you go into seclusion next time, please take us with you."
Xiao Ding smiled and said to them: "Don't worry, it will be your turn sooner or later."
The senior sister said regretfully: "Junior brother Tian, although it is very rare for you to advance to the Great Perfection of Qi training, you still failed to build the foundation. Is it possible that you don't have the foundation building pill? I still have a few other methods here. I wonder if you can use the materials for making the base pill?"
Xiao Ding shook his head, frowned and said: "I have Foundation Establishment Pills here, and there are quite a few of them. However, I don't know what went wrong with my practice. I tried to break through many times, but failed to establish Foundation. "
The senior sister also said curiously: "This is strange. Generally speaking, it is rare for ordinary monks to fail to build a foundation. Most monks can basically succeed in building a foundation as long as they have a foundation building pill. .”
Xiao Ding also sighed and said: "Yes, I am also very surprised. What is the problem?"
The senior sister comforted Xiao Ding and said: "Generally speaking, foundation building failures are most often caused by unstable foundations. Or maybe you continue to use elixirs to improve your cultivation, causing the foundation to be unstable, so the foundation building fails. I think You'd better settle down and stabilize your cultivation before trying to build a foundation. Anyway, there's still one month left until June 18th. We'll be on the road starting tomorrow. During this month on the road, you still There is a chance to build a foundation.”
Although Xiao Ding didn't hold much hope in his heart, he still nodded and said helplessly: "Now, this is all we can do."
Next, Xiao Ding told everyone about some of the conditions in the village during his retreat. He learned from everyone that the farmers they planted in the spring are now growing very well. Tiankun Planet has abundant spiritual energy. Although the spiritual energy on Fengluan Continent is thinner than other continents, it is several times more than the spiritual energy on the earth.
In such an environment, the animals and plants on Tiankun Planet grow much taller than similar species on Earth.
At the same time, in the valley of Tianyao Village, there is also a mountain spring water from Tongtian Peak. This mountain spring water flows into the valley and forms a small river, which has become the daily source of drinking water for everyone in the village and an important source of water for irrigating crops.
Li Tianliang, Deng Feng, and Shan Tong promptly arranged manpower with Li Dazhong and Zhang Erfeng to take turns guarding the field in the valley day and night. Therefore, there are very few places in this field that are damaged by birds and beasts.
In response, Xiao Ding praised Li Tianliang and others for their good work. At the same time, he also proposed that those who are on duty every day should not be allowed to work in vain, but should be given some wages as rewards based on the number of days they guard and the effectiveness of their guarding.
In fact, Li Tianliang and others had already promised this to everyone when they mobilized everyone to guard the crops. However, before Li Tianliang asked Xiao Ding for it, Xiao Ding took the initiative to tell him. This makes those working at the grassroots level in the village feel warm in their hearts.
After dealing with the internal affairs of the village, Xiao Ding discussed with everyone the matter of going to the secret realm of Lingtai Island.
Lingtai Island is in the vast sea, a long way from Tianyao Village. If you want to feel Lingtai Island on June 18, you need to go a month in advance.
On Xiao Ding's Fengluanzhou map, although there are relatively few places marked in the sea, the location of Lingtai Island is indeed marked.
Presumably the abbot of Lingyun Temple who drew the map of Fengluan Continent, Master Zhiguang, must have been to Lingtai Island or knew the specific location of this island, so he marked it on the map.
After everyone's discussion, it was finally decided that Cheng Yaowei and Lu Tianshuo, the only two foundation-building monks in the village, and Xiao Ding, who hoped to build a foundation on the road, were going to set off to the sea together. Head to Lingtai Island.
The others are basically people who cannot build the foundation in a short period of time, so going there is in vain. It is better to stay in the village to look after the family, and at the same time, they can practice with peace of mind.
