[Foundation Building 3rd Floor 10/100]
Seven months ago, Luo Chen broke through to the third level of foundation building.
Now, more than half a year has passed, and the progress bar has reached 10.
Take away the foundation and protection for Wang Yuan, and fall into a long sleep after the simulation of the Heart-Questing Mirror.
In other words, it took almost exactly half a year to complete one-tenth of the third level of the foundation building period.
If you want to break through to the fourth level, you need to practice non-stop for about five years.
This speed is definitely not slow.
It was worthy of the huge amount of spiritual stones he paid.
In the lower-grade cave, the Shenglong Pill has never stopped, and there are also supplements such as strong divine incense and rich spiritual meals.
These external cultivation environments are not something ordinary foundation-building monks can enjoy.
Just like the group in Dahefang during the foundation building period, they didn't even have a stable second-level spiritual land.
Even if he is better qualified than Luo Chen, he will overtake him in a straight line.
If ordinary people knew about Luo Chen's cultivation speed, they would definitely be envious.
But Luo Chen still felt that it was not enough!
When he was in Dahefang, relying on the remaining foundation-building elixir and the second-level high-grade spiritual land, he retreated for three years to reach the second level of foundation-building.
When I came to Tianlan Immortal City, I had better resources and spent two and a half years building the third floor.
It will take at least five years to break through to the middle stage of foundation building.
This has been going on for more than ten years!
The progress of cultivation in the middle stage is ten times that of the early stage.
The progress of cultivation in the later period is dozens of times, or even hundreds of times that of the initial stage of foundation building.
ten years! century! millennium!
After all, Luo Chen had only doubled his cultivation efficiency on the original basis.
"Not enough, far from enough!"
"Now that the shotgun has been replaced by the cannon, the external training environment has been comprehensively improved. I hope to improve more training efficiency!"
Thoughts are flowing.
The master-level "Yi Mu Yao Wang Sutra" was in full operation.
In the quiet room, the huge spiritual energy bound in the cave rushed towards him like thousands of rivers returning to the sea.
Half an hour later.
Luo Chen opened his eyes, looked inside the Qi Sea, and examined it carefully.
Finally nodded slowly.
The concentration of spiritual energy in the cave has doubled, so that the amount of spiritual energy captured and refined by the natal skills at the same time has also doubled.
But this growth is not all his.
"Normal foundation-building monks can only run their natal skills at full strength two to three times a day. But before, I could run my natal skills five times a day."
"With the assistance of Lieshenxiang, I can do it seven times a day."
"But I still haven't made perfect use of the Lieshen Incense. I can only absorb a little more than two-thirds of it."
"After going through the Heart-Questing Mirror simulation, I felt weak for a while, but after recovering recently, I feel that my spiritual foundation has greatly increased."
"I don't know exactly how much it has increased."
"But by running the natal skills to the extreme, you can test one or two!"
"continue!"
Luo Chen took a deep breath and closed his eyelids again.
In the quiet room that had already calmed down, as Luo Chen began to practice, the rich concentration of spiritual energy became restless again.
twice!
three times!
…
Soon, it exceeded the original seven times.
The eighth time to run the natal skills!
The ninth time!
When the nine times were over, Luo Chen felt faintly tired.
But he almost got the data he wanted.
The foundation of the soul has indeed increased!
The spiritual soul that was infinitely close to the late stage of foundation building was now a genuine spiritual soul in the late stage of foundation building!
"But I feel like it's still not the limit!"
The ice silkworm futon under his butt exuded a hint of icy moisture, making him, who was a little tired before, become energetic again.
Again!
With his mind settled, Luo Chen took out a jade bottle.
A mid-grade Aiki pill!
This time, he will practice with the elixir.
It is said that the potency of the middle-grade Heqi Pill is more than double that of the lower-grade Heqi Pill. I wonder how much more powerful it is than the lower-grade Shenglong Pill?
"Yi Mu Yao Wang Jing" is in operation again.
The elixir inside melts and releases a large amount of spiritual energy.
There is a rich spiritual energy from the second-level high-grade cave outside, which is swallowed into his body.
Within the Luo Chen Qi Sea, a torrent of spiritual energy poured in.
The spiritual whirlpool constructed by the "Qingyuan Wonderful Pill Method" was almost washed away.
Fortunately, it took three years.
He has already practiced this technique to perfection.
It has been possible to get to the root of the disease and remove most of the erysipelas.
The crumbling spiritual energy vortex finally held on.
Another half hour passed.
Luo Chen looked slightly tired and opened his eyes.
His eyes are full of surprises!
This night's experiment made him sure of everything.
First of all, the foundation of the soul has indeed grown to the late stage of foundation building.
Secondly, in the second-level high-grade cave, the spiritual energy is doubled, and the external spiritual energy captured during the cultivation process is also doubled.
Finally, the middle-grade Heqi Pill is far more powerful than the lower-grade Shenglong Pill, almost twice as powerful.
And when these three points are finally added up, the result is—
"My cultivation speed has more than doubled compared to before!"
"Compared to when I first entered the foundation building and only had the second-order low-grade spiritual land, the speed has increased five times!"
It may not be very vivid to say so.
It is much simpler to calculate it based on the time it takes to practice to the foundation-building perfection.
When he first entered the foundation building, Luo Chen judged that it would take two thousand years for him to complete the foundation building.
After coming to Tianlan Immortal City, after many efforts, he shortened this estimated time to one thousand years.
And now!
His cultivation speed allows him to complete the foundation construction within four to five hundred years!
Even at this time, it is still far beyond the life limit of a foundation-building monk.
But such an intuitive improvement gave Luo Chen hope.
"I still have a lot of room for improvement."
"The foundation of the soul is only in the late stage of foundation building. If I refine the top-grade Netherworld elixir, I will have a chance to improve it again."
The upper limit of the soul affects the number of times the skill is run, and the number of times affects the amount of external spiritual energy captured.
In addition to the soul foundation.
"It also has the quality of elixirs!"
"This is just a middle-grade Heqi pill. What if there is a high-grade one?"
"I couldn't get high-grade elixirs in the Asking Heart Mirror simulation, but it was just a simulation, which naturally ignored my subjective initiative, my system plug-in, and the changes in the outside world were not static due to my cognition. Under the changes in the general trend, my There will definitely be a lot of opportunities.”
"In addition to the elixir, there is also my body!"
Luo Chen could feel that he was not far away from the second stage of transformation and body refining.
When his body becomes stronger, it will in turn enhance his immortal cultivation.
"In the Simulation of Asking the Heart Mirror, I relied on the magic way to practice, and I was able to complete the foundation by the age of three hundred and thirty."
"In reality, can't I do this before the end of my life on the path of righteous cultivation?"
Luo Chen didn't doubt himself at all!
There may be hardships along the way, but his repeated successes have already forged his firm Taoist heart.
The heart towards the Tao, the heart to practice the Tao.
He won't stop!
…
the next day.
Luo Chen woke up early in the morning.
He only slept for an hour.
But I didn’t feel very tired, I just couldn’t practice excessively anymore.
This is generally how monks practice.
The limit that Luo Chen tested before was actually the limit that could be measured without excessive loss of the soul's foundation.
But the monk won't care about this when he breaks through the level.
Don't say ten times a day.
When it is fully prepared, it can be run dozens of times in a row, and there are always people there.
As long as you succeed in breaking through the level, all the losses will be worth it.
Not only did Luo Chen not feel tired, but because of the Ice God Jade, his energy became even stronger.
"This piece of jade given to me by the Heartless Fairy is not a magic weapon, nor a magic weapon, but the effect is so strange."
"I don't know what kind of material it is, but it was directly polished."
Luo Chen touched the jade pendant around his neck and came to the living room in high spirits.
Qu Lingjun and four others were already waiting outside.
"Master!"
"Um."
Luo Chen nodded and came outside the cave, his eyes falling on the acre of spiritual land.
He will definitely live here for a long time.
Then this acre of spiritual land must not be planted with flowers and plants as it is now.
"After you go back, ask Yuan Dongsheng to come over."
Yuan Dongsheng is at the eighth level of Qi refining.
Luo Tianhui’s number one spiritual husband!
Now he is married to the Qinhua Li family and becomes the future son-in-law of the Li family, and his status is even more respected.
Only under the three major foundations of Luo Tianhui and President Sima Huiniang.
More than ordinary ninth-level Qi refining monks.
Compared with those hall masters, they can all be equal.
When I asked him to come here, I naturally wanted to rely on his knowledge and think about how to make good use of this spiritual field.
Qu Lingjun responded immediately.
"In addition, I may not go to Danxia Peak during this period."
"If something happens, just use this sound transmission jade to notify me."
While talking, he took out two pieces of jade.
"One piece is yours, and you can give the other piece back to President Sima."
Qu Lingjun nodded quickly and put away the two pieces of sound transmission jade that Luo Chen had injected with his spiritual consciousness.
This specially made sound-transmitting jade is far more effective than musical notes and sound-transmitting paper cranes.
Not only can sound be transmitted thousands of miles, but the speed is almost synchronized.
Of course, with such good results, the price is naturally high.
One piece would require three thousand low-grade spiritual stones.
Moreover, there is also the threshold of injecting spiritual consciousness into a foundation-building cultivator!
After putting the jade away, Qu Lingjun couldn't help but ask: "What about the chalcedony pill business?"
"Before the auction, I refined a large amount of chalcedony pills, enough for Luo Tianhui to sell them for half a year."
Luo Chen naturally took this most important thing into consideration.
Before, he would have been complacent because he had a deposit of 400,000 yuan.
Then as the auction ended, he lost this idea.
In an auction, he spent a total of 240,000 yuan!
I rented the Shangpin Cave Mansion for two years and spent another hundred thousand.
As of now, he only has a mere 60,000 spiritual stones left in his hand.
Among them are all middle-grade spiritual stones and one high-grade spiritual stone.
These two cannot be touched lightly, especially the latter!
That is no longer currency, but a strategic resource, something that can save lives at critical moments!
As a result, Luo Chen is almost a pauper now!
But it happens!
Next, there are many places where he has to spend money.
The elixirs are okay for the time being, and the middle-grade Heqi elixirs bought at the auction can be used for about a year.
But the rent of the second-level high-grade cave must be a point that must be seriously considered.
That’s 48,000 a year!
Ordinary foundation-building monks simply cannot afford it.
Therefore, the elixir still needs to be refined.
"Next, every six months, you guys ask President Sima to send someone over to get the elixir."
Qu Lingjun asked curiously: "Don't you need anyone else to assist Master in refining the elixir?"
"That's not necessary. Apart from handling the medicinal materials for me, those people will spend all their remaining time cooperating with the four of you in refining the pills."
Luo Chen smiled slightly, "Don't let me down!"
"Yeah, I won't let you down, Master!"
Qu Lingjun puffed up his chest and said confidently.
The same goes for the other three.
For low-level alchemists, the most difficult part of alchemy is getting started.
After getting started, many issues can be explored slowly during the refining process.
Luo Chen left them with a lot of experience in alchemy, and also thoughtfully let them take the Tongyou Pill to improve their spiritual foundation.
It can be said that they now have the foundation to take charge of their own business.
As for whether we can truly stand alone in the future?
That depends on their efforts and luck!
Next, Luo Chen gave a few more instructions.
It was agreed that every month, the four of them would take turns delivering the processed medicinal materials.
How to deploy some of the manpower in Dantang?
What are the taboos about those alchemy equipment?
After a series of things happened, Luo Chen let them leave.
…
"Master, why don't I see you so nagging usually?"
Bai Meiling floated out.
It was so mysterious that most people would have been shocked.
Luo Chen had long been used to it. He looked at the backs of the four people leaving in the clouds and mist with a calm expression.
"It's much better than before."
"Now Luo Tianhui has two major foundation builders taking turns taking charge, and Sima Huiniang is in charge of all major and minor matters."
"I just want to put more thought into this third-acre of land in Dantang."
Bai Meiling blinked.
Now, she has recovered most of her memories, and her personality is not as cold as before.
She found that the master seemed to be more and more "free" recently?
This "leisure" does not mean idleness every day.
But, it is no longer like before, hammering here and there, and having to participate in everything.
"Then Master, what are you going to do now?"
"do what?"
The corners of Luo Chen's mouth raised slightly.
Of course that means re-planning your daily routine!
It starts at 9 o'clock in the morning, which is five o'clock in the morning.
From five to seven o'clock, read a book!
Over the years, whether they were purchased, given by others, or captured after battles.
There are many books accumulated in Luo Chen's storage bag.
Alchemy experience, magic secrets, travel notes on the world of immortality, formation books, talisman making books, medicinal materials and demon beast illustrations...
It's all miscellaneous. He has too many books piled up that he hasn't read yet.
Set aside two hours every day to read, increase your knowledge, and deepen your knowledge base.
Only in this way will he have the opportunity to "pick up the slack" when encountering grand events such as large-scale trade fairs in the future.
Then have a hearty breakfast, and after 7:30, start practicing the art of protecting the Tao!
Whether it's the "Landslide" that has been stagnant for a long time, or the divine magic, or the glazed sky curtain.
There is still huge room for improvement in all of these.
In addition, he has accumulated a bunch of magic secrets, and he plans to pick out a few that suit him and practice more.
It can not only enhance your strength, but also increase your proficiency and gain achievement points.
From 7:30 to noon, all is used to practice the art of protecting the Tao.
The afternoon was naturally used for refining elixirs.
This is his foundation!
Being able to go all the way up to now, and even get the appreciation of Jindan Master Ruthless Fairy, is also due to alchemy.
There's no reason to let it go.
After the alchemy was over, it was almost late at night.
At this time, it was Luo Chen's special training time.
The operation of the natal skills ten times means that it takes at least five hours!
In this way, after practicing, the day is almost over.
After an hour or two of sleep, it's almost midnight again.
After planning.
Luo Chen laughed at himself.
"The regular and boring cultivation life is about to begin again!"
