Fengluanzhou, Tianyao Village, under a big tree somewhere in Taoyuan Holy Valley.
A sturdy man in his thirties said with full compliments to a middle-aged man in his forties: "Congratulations to Brother Zhao for successfully establishing the foundation. You have made another step forward in your cultivation!"
The middle-aged man surnamed Zhao also said with a smile on his face: "Yeah, I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to build a foundation in this life. I have to thank our newly returned village leader. If he hadn't given it to me as a gift, Foundation Establishment Pill, how can I still have a chance to establish a foundation!"
The sturdy man said with envy on his face: "Brother Zhao has at least succeeded in building the foundation, but I don't know if I will have this opportunity to build the foundation in this life, alas..."
The man surnamed Zhao glanced at the strong man and said in surprise: "Huh? Brother Sun, I remember when I saw you yesterday, you were still at the fifth level of Qi training. How come you have broken through to the sixth level of Qi training today?"
The sturdy man surnamed Sun replied with some joy: "Isn't this also thanks to our newly returned village master? He gave a red training flame to all the monks in the Qi training period in our village. Pill, I also took this pill and broke through a small level."
The man surnamed Zhao patted his forehead and said: "Oh, you said this about my memory. If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten that Master Tianzhai sent the Scarlet Flame Pill to everyone. This is our new Tianzhai. The Lord is so generous. He gave so many rare elixirs to everyone as soon as he said they would. This kind of good thing would not happen among the sects in the Cultivation Alliance. Brother Sun, we have something like this in our village. Leader of the sect, are you still worried about not being able to build the foundation?"
The sturdy man surnamed Sun sighed and continued: "Oh... Brother Zhao, please stop comforting me. I have just taken the elixir and have only advanced to the sixth level of Qi training. This is far from the foundation stage. It’s still early, when I reach the perfection of Qi training, I still don’t know if I will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse, and it’s hard to say whether our village master will give me the Foundation Establishment Pill again.”
The man surnamed Zhao shook his head and said: "Brother Sun, it seems to me that our newly returned head of the village may want to do something big when he comes back this time. Didn't you see that he had a total of How many elixirs were taken out? There are so many rare elixirs. I don’t know where our village master got them from. Moreover, I don’t know how high his real cultivation level is. He was able to defeat the golden elixir. The first monk is so amazing!"
The sturdy man surnamed Sun also agreed: "Indeed. I also feel that the origin of our village master is not simple. Just say yesterday, because of the elixir sent by the village master, how many people in our village collectively built the foundation? And even Lu The deputy village leader has successfully formed the elixir, and we have another golden elixir-level monk in our village. Let’s see if people from the Cultivation Alliance will dare to come and harass our village in the future!”
The man surnamed Zhao said with approval: "Yes, I didn't expect that our deputy village master Lu, after so many years of perfect foundation building, would actually have the opportunity to form a pill. This is like an opportunity falling from the sky! Yesterday, in our village, , except for the three deputy village leaders Li Tianliang, Deng Feng and Shan Tong who have not yet built the foundation, all the other monks who practice Qi Dzogchen have collectively built the foundation. The thunder disaster during the foundation building made our village behind There are many big holes carved out on the slopes of Xiangtian Peak and Yingtian Peak.
The sturdy man surnamed Sun said with pride: "Who says otherwise? In just one day, our Tianyao Village suddenly had one more Golden Core Stage monk and more than a dozen Foundation Establishment Stage monks. This is simply the whole trend. What a strange news in the Luanzhou cultivation world! I just don’t know why the three deputy village leaders, Li Tianliang, Deng Feng, and Shan Tong, didn’t go to build the foundation with everyone?”
The man surnamed Zhao pretended to be mysterious and said: "That's it. I heard that our Tianzhai master gave the three deputy village masters Li, Deng, and Shan extra elixirs for rebuilding Tiangen. The three of them seem to be We plan to reshape the Heavenly Roots first and then build the foundation. Perhaps this is to prevent the foundation building from failing without Heavenly Roots."
When the strong man surnamed Sun heard this, he also said mysteriously: "I heard from Lao Gu and others in our village that our newly returned village owner did not have Tiangen at the beginning. Later, he used a secret method to reshape Tiangen. , but they have failed to build the foundation many times. Aren’t the three deputy village leaders, Li, Deng, and Shan, afraid that they will not be able to succeed in building the foundation even after they reshape Tiangen?”
Man surnamed Zhao
He looked around, and then said cautiously: "As for the past deeds of our newly returned Tianzhai Master, it is best for us to talk less, in case the gossip reaches the ears of the Tianzhai Master and offends the Tianzhai Master, If the cottage distributes benefits again in the future, will we still have a share?"
After hearing this, the sturdy man surnamed Sun also carefully looked around, and then said with some worry: "Brother Zhao reminded me that I was negligent for a moment. Fortunately, there are only you and me here, otherwise, If what you and I said today is spread, it will not do anyone any good."
The man surnamed Zhao nodded and said: "Yes, Brother Sun, no matter where you are, talking less and doing more is the right way. Brother Sun, you go about your business first. I have to go back and see my unfulfilled son. I have to watch him. We can't cause any trouble." After saying that, he clasped his fists at the strong man and turned around to leave. .
The sturdy man surnamed Sun only said: "Brother Zhao, walk slowly!" Then, after standing there for a while, he turned around and left.
Tian Xiaoding still didn't know at this time how many people in Tianyao Village were secretly talking about him behind his back.
Yesterday in the village, more than a dozen monks practicing Qi Dzogchen were building a foundation on the back mountain. This not only shocked the monks outside, but also shocked the people in Tianyao Village.
Xiao Ding did not expect that the people in the village would be so impatient. The day after he gave them the foundation-building pill, they all ran to the back mountain to build the foundation. Moreover, when Lu Tianshuo saw everyone building a foundation together, he ran to Xiangtian Peak to join in the fun on a whim. As a result, with the help of Golden Cherry Pill, he successfully formed the pill and became another member of Tianyao Village. A golden elixir stage monk.
Not only that, other people in the village couldn't wait to take the elixir after receiving it from Xiao Ding. Each of the monks in the Qi training period has made a small breakthrough based on the original foundation.
As for Yue Yurou, Tian Xiao'e, and Ou Muyun, the three monks who had already established their foundations, after swallowing the Purple Qi Pineapple Pill given to them by Xiao Ding, they all advanced to a small level based on their original foundation.
Among them, Tian Xiao'e has broken through to the Dzogchen realm of foundation building. She only needs to consolidate for a while before she can form a pill.
Yue Yurou and Ou Muyun have also reached the seventh level of foundation building and entered the late stage of foundation building. However, the two of them are still far away from the perfection of foundation building, and they still cannot form pills in a short period of time.
As for Li Tianliang, Deng Feng, and Shan Tong, as the man surnamed Zhao said, they were not in a hurry to build the foundation. Instead, after getting the method to reshape Tiangen, they followed the method taught by Xiao Ding. Go and reshape Tiangen.
The three of them had obtained the foundation-building pill from Tianyao Village before, but it was a pity that they failed to build the foundation once. Therefore, they were cautious this time, hoping to reshape the Tiangan first, and then try to build the foundation. They don't care too much whether the foundation building is successful in the end. After all, they are at this age. Even if the foundation building is successful now, it is difficult to say whether there will be a chance to go further in this life.
Different from Li Tianliang and the others, Li Dazhong and Zhang Erfeng also successfully built the foundation on the mountain behind the village together with other people in the village yesterday. Their innate qualifications were better than those of Li Tianliang and the other two, so after obtaining the Foundation Building Pill, they all succeeded in building the Foundation.
Most of the other monks who have successfully built foundations in the village are casual cultivators recruited by the senior sister after Xiao Ding left Tianyao Village last time, including the Zhao who just chatted with the sturdy man named Sun. man.
Ever since the master sister Cheng Yaowa formed the elixir, Tianyao Village has gradually become somewhat famous in the local area, thus attracting many casual cultivators who are in the Qi training period to join. Some of them had already reached the perfection of Qi training when they joined Tianyao Village. There are also people who have reached the perfection of Qi training after joining Tianyao Village. However, there are not many monks who can achieve the Great Perfection of Qi training in Tianyao Village, only a dozen in total.
After yesterday's collective foundation building, now only Li Tianliang and three other monks are left in Tianyao Village to practice Qi Perfection.
Xiao Ding was in the Juyi Hall that day. After publicly distributing the elixirs, he secretly gave away a red beauty elixir to the senior sister Cheng Yaowei, his wife, and Li Tianliang.
The Zhuyan Dan in Xiao Ding’s hand,
It was when he was on earth that he traveled to the ancient Song Dynasty and got the refining materials by chance, which was refined with the help of Yue Yurou.
However, because the refining material he was looking for was the red Zhuyan mushroom, and Yue Yurou's alchemy level was only at the elementary level at that time, the Zhuyan pills that were refined at that time were all low-grade red pills. Its beauty-retaining effect can only last for about a thousand years. It cannot achieve permanent beauty effect.
The reason why the elder sister, his wife, and Li Tianliang were given the Beauty Pills was because they were also Xiao Ding's best friends. The second reason is that they are now in their forties or fifties, their faces have aged, and their appearance has changed drastically. Xiao Ding saw it in his eyes and couldn't bear to watch them age like this. The third reason is that Xiao Ding, Yue Yurou, Tian Xiao'e and others have taken the Beauty Pill before, and more than 20 years have passed, but their appearance has not changed, just like before. They are also Xiao Ding's friends, and Xiao Ding feels that if he doesn't give them some beauty pills to his senior sister, he will feel a little guilty psychologically.
The reason why Xiao Ding did not give them the Beauty Pill before was because when they were together, everyone was very young and could not feel the traces of time on them. Therefore, Xiao Ding did not think of it at that time.
Although it seems a little too late to give them the Zhuyan Pill now, it is not too late to make up for it. Since you can't keep their youth, let's keep their middle age.
Regarding the aging appearance of the senior sister and others, Xiao Ding felt quite emotional after returning to Tianyao Village this time:
The most unbearable thing in the world is that the beauty of beauty is like the flower in the mirror and the tree!
Time is like a butcher's knife, driving people older with each cut. It has cut off youth and carved wrinkles, which is helpless and lamentable.
The flowing light is wanton, the world is vicissitudes of life, and the past is like smoke.
Time passes slowly through people's fingers. It cannot be grasped, retained, or stopped. The endless circle that can be drawn with the pen, the fate that cannot be filled in the heart, the knot that cannot be untied in the brow, the tribulation that cannot be untied in fate, everything will eventually be buried in the grave of time.
