Sky.
The howling wind slapped Zhang Qing's cheek, which felt a little painful, but it still couldn't stop the cheerful smile from emerging.
Watching the earth beneath his feet recede, and looking at the rivers and lakes in the distance, Zhang Qing's heart was full of pride at this moment.
Every qi-training monk will imagine what the realm of foundation building is like and what flying feels like. Now Zhang Qing can feel it.
Although in another form.
Looking at the golden koi swimming beside him, to be precise, it was a koi with a dragon head, Zhang Qing reached out and stroked the other person's head.
"If we tell this, I'm afraid no one will believe that a demon can break through from the fifth level of Qi training to foundation building in less than three years."
Koi's intelligence is not very high, but after listening to Zhang Qing's words, he still cupped his palm.
Zhang Qing's help was indispensable for Koi's ability to build the foundation, but it was all worth it.
"The power of foundation building is much greater than that of Qi training." Zhang Qing couldn't help but admired as he felt the clear water aura around him.
The first is mana. Qi-training monks refine wisps of spiritual energy into the body and turn it into mana. Even at the ninth level of qi-training, the mana in the body is not strong.
And the most important thing is that the magic power in every Qi Practitioner's body is the same, whether it is immortal or mortal magic, good or bad talent, as for the qualitative difference, it is the difference in real strength.
It is precisely for this reason that Zhang Qing's triple mana is particularly special.
Therefore, during the stage of Qi training, monks are still fair among themselves, but once they enter the foundation building stage, this small amount of fairness will have no restrictions.
Monks with strong inheritances will have more mana. On the contrary, those with inheritances that can only build foundations may not even have half of the mana of the former.
Just like Zhang Qing at this moment, feeling the power of demons and the inheritance of immortal magic he has practiced, the difference in strength between the two has exceeded ten times.
This is because Long Li has just broken through. If he waits for another ten days and a half, after his cultivation is stable, it may reach a terrifying fifteen times.
Of course, this is also because of the demon factor. If it were a human monk, the gap with the ninth level of Qi training would be about ten times. If the inheritance of the skills was poorer, it might be only eight or nine times.
There is such a big gap in just the first level of foundation building. When the cultivation level is improved, even the mana of the ninth level of Qi training cannot be used as a unit of measurement.
This is also the reason why foundation-building monks can squander spells wantonly.
In addition to unlimited mana, another power of the foundation-building monks is that they can use their own mana to mobilize spiritual energy of the same attribute between heaven and earth.
Therefore, the fighting dynamics between the foundation-building monks are also very different. Some can move rivers, while others can only condense small streams. This is caused by the difference in the activation of surrounding spiritual energy.
The mana within the body and the control of external spiritual energy are the two most powerful differences between foundation building and Qi training.
The golden dragon at Zhang Qing's feet fell into the lake below and turned into nothing. Zhang Qing landed calmly on the lake, and then the power in his body surged wildly, and the entire lake boiled in an instant.
A whirlpool condensed in the center of the lake, and then grew larger and wider at a speed visible to the naked eye, directly enveloping the entire lake.
However, this did not stop. The turbulent water flow rotated, and the boundary was surrounded by blades, tearing up the soil on the shore of the lake, and the area of the lake began to expand.
Zhang Qing stood in the center of the vortex, his palms trembling slightly. He controlled the vortex formed by all the water in the lake to expand and erode around it little by little, until the area of the vortex was twice the size of the original lake.
At a certain moment, the power in Zhang Qing's body was violent, and at the same time, all the water aura around him lost control. The huge lake made a deafening roar, and then the lake water jumped into the air like boiling water, and then curtains of water fell down, filling the entire lake again. lake.
Among them, Zhang Qing was inevitably soaked in the rain, but the light in his eyes became sharper.
"This is the power of foundation building..."
"One Qi transforms into three pure beings, allowing me to perfectly master the power of a foundation-building demon."
Shocked, Zhang Qing became more and more in awe of his own special methods.
Some people can kill the foundation building at the ninth level of Qi training, but they are still practicing Qi. Some people are at the ninth level of Qi training, but at the same time, they are also at the first level of Foundation building.
The former can be many people, but the latter can only be Zhang Qing.
The flames on his body flashed away, evaporating all the moisture on his body. Zhang Qing stood on the water of the lake and smiled softly.
"From now on, I also have the strength to confront Foundation Establishment head-on."
Although he was only at the ninth level of Qi training, Zhang Qing could already boldly set his sights on the group of foundation-building monks.
"It's not in vain that I spent so many resources to train you, but..." Zhang Qing looked at the golden dragon-head koi swimming beside him.
"The time you spent in your cultivation is too short. Now that you have established your foundation, you have to find a way to learn water-attribute spells. You can't just use your talent to inherit spells every time you deal with the enemy."
This demon has not learned a single spell since Zhang Qing discovered it two years ago. Apart from the inherited Mirror Flower Water Moon Sword Formation, he can only use instinctive control methods to attack and defend.
Although this alone is powerful enough, Zhang Qing cannot satisfy this.
His one-qi-to-three-purity method has one biggest flaw, and that is that he cannot improve all the power he gets from others.
For example, the koi demon in front of him, apart from the demon's instinct, only has the inherited Mirror Flower Water Moon Sword Formation spell. When Zhang Qing controls the opponent, he can only do this.
When he was in Zhulinfang City, Zhang Qing tried to practice water-attribute spells, but all failed without exception.
He controls the power of the demon's water attribute, but that's all. If the demon doesn't know any spells, then neither can he. Everything he masters is what the demon must possess.
Zhang Qing is unable to enhance the power of others within himself, and if one day this demon learns other things, then Zhang Qing will naturally become self-taught.
He cannot learn and does not need to learn.
The same is true for the body refining power obtained from Yun Shanhe. He cannot replace the blood totem on his body with more powerful demon blood. He can only do this depending on the strength of Yun Shanhe's body.
The reason why Zhang Qing calls this his only flaw is actually his confidence in himself.
As a disciple of the Zhang family who practices the inheritance of immortality, he does not think that he is a loser. On the contrary, the demons around him are not as good as him, and neither is Yun Shanhe.
One day in the future, he will break through the foundation and his strength will surpass this monster. At that time, this monster will have very little effect on him.
The same is true for Yun Shanhe. Zhang Qing actually needs nothing more than the opponent's powerful physical training during the Qi training period to control him.
As for body refining, it will naturally be included in the scope of practice after he builds the foundation. By then, when his own body refining has surpassed that of Yun Shanhe, the latter's effect on Zhang Qing will have completely disappeared.
Why would he make himself weaker when his body was stronger?
This is also the reason why Zhang Qing does not control others on a large scale. He does not know where his biggest limit is now, but until now, all he has controlled is a demon and a body-refining casual cultivator. Both of them are still weak. It is when you are dying and have no willpower.
Of course, this flaw cannot actually be regarded as a flaw. The basis for all this is actually because Zhang Qing's own talent is not low, which reduces his choices.
At the same time, the various benefits of One Qi Transforming Three Purities also cover everything up perfectly.
Everything varies from person to person, but if it can be enhanced on top of these countless benefits, Zhang Qing would be even more satisfied.
Every cultivator is greedy, and their ultimate goal is to ascend to immortality and live forever, and Zhang Qing is no exception.
But before that, he had to complete small goals one by one, such as letting the koi demon learn one hundred and eighty water-attribute spells.
"I don't know how your current strength compares with normal foundation-building monks, so I can only let you work hard. If you can beat other foundation-building monks, then so can I."
Zhang Qing patted the head, and the latter nodded in confusion.
Looking at the mess around the lake, Zhang Qing chose to leave alone with great satisfaction. After all, he couldn't return to Chihu with this monster.
Along the way, Zhang Qing felt extremely comfortable, as if he had sown a seed, which grew into a towering tree by his own efforts, and then the fruit was easily picked by him.
