The cool breeze from the mountain stream disturbs people's thoughts.
The loud sound of the silver dragon rumbled into my ears.
Luo Chen stood on the edge of the cliff, his eyes filled with sadness.
Suddenly, there was a sound of surprise from the side.
"Fellow Daoist Luo Chen, you are here again, maybe Luo Tianhui wants people to build the foundation again!"
Looking sideways, it was Nangong Jin who looked surprised.
He still lives next to here.
Luo Chen smiled reluctantly, "Someone built the foundation, but unfortunately, it failed."
Hearing this, Nangong Jin wanted to express his regret, but subconsciously he also felt lucky.
This weird scene made him look a little weird.
Luo Chen frowned and stared at him.
Nangong Jin coughed dryly, "It is human nature to fail in foundation building. As long as you are not a Tianlinggen monk, no matter how excellent your qualifications and preparations are, there is still a possibility of failure. Fellow Taoist, don't take it to heart."
Luo Chen was puzzled.
"Why are there no obstacles for cultivators with Tianling Roots, but not those with other qualifications? What about those with Second Spiritual Roots? What about those with Foreign Spiritual Roots?"
Nangong Jin smiled slightly.
"Why is the Tianling Root not called the Single Spiritual Root, but the Heavenly Spiritual Root? Isn't it because we are uniquely blessed by nature and favored by Heaven!"
"As for other qualified candidates..."
Nangong Jin paused and said casually: "Let me ask you, how much can a low-grade foundation-building pill increase the chance of success?"
"Thirty percent!"
"Then such a Qi refiner, even if he is extremely careful, can he still get the remaining 70% chance?"
Luo Chen opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment.
Even though his body had reached the perfection of the Vajra Realm at the beginning, his soul was comparable to that of a monk in the foundation-building stage, and his meticulous control of spiritual power was unparalleled among his peers.
With all these preparations, he also experienced four failures.
The last time was a success!
If it weren't for the Dantian with the Five Spiritual Root qualifications, which gave him a strong and ample space, the huge medicinal power of the five foundation-building elixirs would have flowed backwards through his meridians, causing him to be seriously injured.
He even felt that his state at that time was no longer the nine-level perfection of the Qi Refining Stage.
Instead, under the expansion of five foundation-building elixirs, it once hit the tenth, eleventh, and twenty-third floors!
Seeing Luo Chen speechless, Nangong Jin couldn't help but laugh and said:
"Stop worrying."
"Did anyone survive?"
Luo Chen nodded, "Although he was seriously injured, he is fine after treatment."
"As long as you survive, take good care of your injuries. There will be another chance in the future... How old is the one who is trying to break through?" Nangong Jin asked one more question.
Luo Chen thought for a while and gave an uncertain number.
"About fifty-two years old!"
"That's quite young!" Nangong Jin said casually: "After a few years, you can try to build the foundation again!"
yes!
still young!
Luo Chen came back to his senses and solemnly thanked Nangong Jin.
Nangong Jin waved his hand, chatted for a few words, and left Tianlan Peak.
Looking back, Luo Chen looked at the entrance of the cave.
"Brother Qin, you should have heard it too!"
In the cave, Qin Liangchen walked out with a face full of vicissitudes of life.
After three days of treatment, Murong Qinglian finally woke up from her coma.
Her current condition is not very good.
Luo Chen's healing technique is mainly based on his pure spiritual power, and the effect is extremely good.
But in fact, it is impossible to rely on spiritual energy to recover from injuries for no reason.
During the healing process, what was lost was the "vital energy" accumulated by Murong Qinglian over the years.
According to Luo Chen's understanding, this vitality can be attributed to the cell vitality of the human body, the power of qi and blood hidden in the body through years of cultivation, the dispersed spiritual power, etc.
Only in this way, a two-pronged approach, can most of his severely damaged meridians be restored.
But the rest is up to her to nurse back to health quietly.
Take elixirs and eat more foods containing innate energy and spiritual energy.
This process cannot be accomplished overnight.
Therefore, in the next one or two years, she will have to take good care of her body.
Otherwise, it is best for monks to build their foundation before the age of sixty.
If after the age of sixty, the breakthrough fails.
Even if he didn't die on the spot, the time needed to recuperate his body would still take five to six years, or even more than ten years.
The older you get, the worse your body functions become.
The decline of Qi and blood is not just talk.
Fortunately!
Murong Qinglian is still young. After spending a year or two recuperating her body, she will have the opportunity to try to build a foundation after she recovers as before.
But, at that time...
Qin Liangchen looked sad.
In the Luo Tianhui, they are not the only ones who are expected to build a foundation!
But there are only a few Foundation Establishment Pills that can be obtained.
A year or two later, it won't be Murong Qinglian's turn at all.
Seeing his speechless and sad expression, Luo Chen frowned.
He could probably guess what the other person was thinking.
But he couldn't make the promise in person.
Patting Qin Liangchen's shoulder, Luo Chen comforted him: "At least, he's fine."
Qin Liangchen nodded, "I think too much. I'm so lucky to be here. Luo Chen, I've taken up too much of your time these days. You go ahead and do your work. I'm enough here. .”
Luo Chen hummed and left.
…
Returned to Cave No. 17.
Luo Chen sighed and stopped worrying about the matter.
For some things, he has done his best.
Whether it succeeds or not depends on the circumstances.
Murong Qinglian had obviously made sufficient preparations.
There is not even the hidden danger of Min Longyu's weak heart.
Even so, they all failed.
"Probability of success..."
Luo Chen muttered this word, as long as he breaks through the great realm, failure and success will go hand in hand.
In order to increase the probability of success, besides the panacea, there is actually another way.
That’s the number of improvements!
But if you try to break through multiple times, the price will be higher.
Enough foundation-building elixirs, plus enough body to withstand the backlash of every failure.
Both are indispensable!
"Then when I form elixirs in the future, can I still use the idea of foundation building?"
"With my qualifications, I'm afraid that one pill-forming elixir will not be enough."
"It seems that I will have to pay attention to the pill-forming elixir at every major auction in the future."
"However, the most urgent task is to raise the realm first. It will be difficult to participate in the competition for the elixir of pill formation until the later stage of foundation building!"
Taking a deep breath, Luo Chen adjusted his mentality, cleared his mind, and entered a state of spiritual cultivation.
…
After Sima Huiniang formulated the new merit policy, Luo Tianhui once again embarked on the path of full speed development.
This time, because of the new merit policy, the motivation of the Luo Tianhui monks was boosted in a short period of time.
Whether it is Biyou Valley Square Market or the spiritual fields in the Medicine Hall, there are monks running around all day long.
The rest of the halls are not willing to lag behind.
The good news first came from the Alchemy Hall.
Someone is coming from Taoshan!
As the property of Baihua Palace Peach Blossom Patriarch, Taoshan’s business has always been excellent.
As the actual manager, Xuan Yu, who was in the later stage of foundation building, gained a lot from it, which provided him with great help in competing for the ice castle's elixir.
But it's clear that they are not satisfied with this.
Therefore, Taoshan focused on Zhongmiao Pills sold by Luo Tianhui.
A Peach Mountain Builder went to Danxia Peak in person and signed a batch of orders with Sima Huiniang.
At the price of ten spiritual stones per pill, the pills that the rice grains refine each month are directly wrapped up!
In this way, this order alone can create a profit of nearly a thousand spiritual stones every month.
In one year, that’s tens of thousands!
This income is naturally not as good as Luo Chen's original achievements in refining the chalcedony pill.
In terms of the entire Luo Tianhui, it was nothing.
But it’s a great start!
For this reason, Sima Huiniang specially rewarded rice grains.
Being stimulated, the other three alchemists in the alchemy hall also worked harder to refine their own kind of elixir.
The changes in Dantang are just the tip of the iceberg.
Over there in the Qi Hall, there are real earth-shaking changes!
Duan Feng's foundation construction made him more calm in the process of casting weapons.
Min Longyu, a master of formations in the foundation-building stage, also joined the Qi Hall as an elder.
With his formation ability, he can provide a lot of help in refining magic weapons!
However, in just three months, he and Duan Feng successfully refined a top-grade magic weapon!
You know, a high-grade magic weapon, no matter how rubbish it is, can be sold for thousands of spirit stones.
If the attributes are excellent, it is not impossible to sell it for four to five thousand.
It can be seen that the two of them cooperated in making the weapon to make preliminary preparations for repairing the eighteen formation disks and completing the two magic weapon embryos.
But during these running-in processes, the strength of Qitang was also improved.
The casting apprentices that Duan Feng brought out over the years have also begun to master various difficult magic weapon casting tasks.
It can be said that everything in Luo Tianhui is developing in a good direction.
And as the leader of Luo Tianhui.
Luo Chen appears less and less often and lives in seclusion on Tianlan Peak all year round.
What he does every day would seem very boring to outsiders.
Read books, practice spells, make elixirs, and practice spirituality.
Just these four things, repeated over and over again, but he never tires of it.
Time flies.
Just half a year has passed.
On this day, Luo Chen sat in lotus position on the ice silkworm futon.
The icy cold air made his mind clear.
In his sight, an attribute panel that only he could see was shining brightly.
【Shouyuan: 40/190】
[Spiritual roots: metal, wood, water, fire and earth]
[Realm: 60/100 at the third level of foundation building, 20/100 at the blood river realm]

[Achievement Points: 25]
Looking at the attribute panel blankly, Luo Chen, who was clear-minded, was in a trance for a moment.
Is this what I achieved when I reached "middle age"?
The third level of foundation building, the body refining level of blood river level.
Even among large sects, he is considered an absolute genius!
After sighing with emotion, he browsed through the attribute panel to confirm what he had gained over the years.
The proficiency level of the main technique "Yi Mu Yao Wang Jing" has reached 840, which is still 160 proficiency levels short of Dzogchen.
To bring it to perfection, it will take about a year.
There's no rush.
As long as you practice every day and keep running your natal skills, you will always reach the end.
In terms of spells, the gains are not small.
Thanks to the advancement of Tuyue Technique and Wave Technique to the Grandmaster level, "Landslide", which he had high hopes for, finally reached the perfect level.
At this level, it can already be initially used in combat.
The power at this time is probably not much different from the extreme burning sun technique.
However, to perform this technique, you need to fuse three first-level spells, which is quite cumbersome.
In the absence of an instantaneous state, you still need to carefully consider and measure the battlefield environment before using this technique.
The promotion of the second-level defensive spell "Liu Li Tian Curtain" came much slower.
After all, the former is a spell that was started during the Qi refining period.
This one was only started after foundation building.
However, the advantages of this technique are quite obvious.
In close defense, the effect is extremely outstanding, and it has been listed as a regular combat method by Luo Chen.
"Turtle Spirit Armor" is a spell I learned a year ago.
Cultivation is a bit complicated and divided into four stages.
For a year, Luo Chen had been adjusting his whole body's breathing rhythm when traveling.
Now I have finally completed the practice of "Turtle Breath".
"If I use Turtle Breath, the effect will probably be a little better than that of the casual cultivator on the Gaolingyuan battlefield!"
With a chuckle, Luo Chen skipped the first-level spell column.
The only thing that can be commended is that the magic of divine deterrence has been promoted to the perfect level with difficulty.
Otherwise, there's not much to say.
What attracted Luo Chen's greatest attention was the alchemy column.
After leaving Dahefang and arriving at Tianlan Immortal City, about five years have passed.
during these five years.
He personally took action and refined hundreds of thousands of chalcedony pills.
There are thousands of Tongyou Pills.
Two hundred Yulu Pills!
With such a huge amount of alchemy, his alchemy skills have been improved unimaginably.
It’s hard to imagine, and not really immeasurable.
This can be understood from the improvement of alchemy skills.
Needless to say, the perfect jade-folding hand.
Su Xin Shou, an alchemy technique that specializes in processing herbs and medicinal materials, has also been promoted to the Great Perfection level.
The Huanxi Shou was promoted to the Grandmaster level, and the Huayun Shou was promoted to the Perfect level.
The speed at which the alchemy can be improved so quickly is staggering.
Among all the alchemy techniques, "Qingyuan Miaodan Technique", the last elixir technique to resolve erysipelas, was what Luo Chen paid the most attention to.
In five years, he raised it from scratch to the master level.
At this moment, within his sea of qi.
A tough and huge whirlpool is spinning automatically.
A stream of spiritual energy entered it, and then was thrown out, washing towards the shore of the air sea.
On the shore, the attached erysipelas were washed away by the pure spiritual power, fell rustling, and were then expelled from Luo Chen's body.
The master-level "Qingyuan Wonderful Pill Method" can completely solve the scourge of erysipelas!
Now.
Luo Chen finally no longer has to worry about erysipelas, which will affect his future breakthrough realm.
You can take drugs with confidence and speed up your cultivation!
Such a huge improvement in alchemy skills naturally means that Luo Chen's proficiency in the elixirs he specializes in has improved.
The Great Perfection of the Tongyou Pill is his biggest gain in these years.
The second-level Jade Dew Pill was occasionally refined and reached the proficiency level.
Now, he has a recovery rate of Jade Dew Pill as high as 30%, and can even refine a mid-grade Jade Dew Pill.
Supplying ruthless fairies is no longer a problem.
But he still keeps this secret.
The time limit given to him by the other party was ten years later.
It’s only been a year and a half now, so it’s still early days, so there’s no need to rush!
In terms of martial arts, Luo Chen doesn't care much now.
The improvement of Wang's secrets comes from the five internal organs health-preserving boxing he performs once a day and the Shenglong Steps he performs several times.
But this set of secrets involves too many things.
Fists, palms, fingers, kicks, footwork, hidden weapons, swords, guns and sticks, all-encompassing and omnipotent.
It is truly the life-long effort of the great master of martial arts!
But he was just dabbling.
The reason for his improvement in strength was not the practice of this set of secrets, but the weak improvement brought about by the spiritual energy infiltrating his body through his long-term practice.
It is conceivable that this kind of automatic improvement will become slower as it progresses without taking the initiative to practice.
Luo Chen didn't care much about this.
As for the achievement points, the savings reached 25, which is really surprising.
I usually don't pay much attention to it.
A spell improvement, an elixir proficiency improvement, or other weak improvements.
Before I knew it, I had accumulated 25 achievement points.
The ones that provide big heads are mainly related to alchemy.
"25 achievement points can be used to purchase new second-level spells or second-level elixirs."
"But now, I don't have any need in this regard."
He knows enough spells!
No one at the same level would devote part of their time to spells like him.
In the eyes of ordinary monks, this is an approach that is not worth the gain.
But Luo Chen relied on his superb magic skills to kill enemies several times in the past. How could he give up this aspect of practice so easily.
There is nothing much to say about the elixir.
The Chalcedony Pill provides financial resources, the Jade Dew Pill is the key to maintaining connections, and the Tongyou Pill is used to cultivate the soul.
Unless someone gives him a prescription that is comparable to the Heqi Pill or the Shenglong Pill, he will probably desperately get started and upgrade it to the level of refining high-grade pills!
There is no way, Luo Chen has been practicing hard for a long time!
The reason why he was able to improve from [10/100 at the third level of foundation building] to [60/100] in just one year after the auction.
In addition to high-grade caves, ice silkworm futons, and souls promoted to the late stage of foundation building, they can even run their own natal skills multiple times.
The biggest contributor is those thirty bottles of middle-grade Heqi pills!
This middle-grade Heqi Pill was of great help to his cultivation.
but now?
Gone!
All have been used up.
Otherwise today, he would have time to fully browse the properties panel.
"Without the second-level middle-grade elixir, I have to return to the cultivation state of the low-grade Shenglong Dan."
Luo Chen was a little depressed.
After experiencing better elixirs, who would want to go back to the previous "snail" pace of cultivation?
But some things are not subject to human will.
When it comes to higher-level orthodox cultivation elixirs, no major sect will release them easily.
They will only use it for themselves or circulate it between sects.
As for this mid-grade Heqi Pill, the Yaowang Sect was still very wealthy. In order to maintain the reputation of the Alchemy Sect, they would regularly release some at auctions.
"It's a pity that the Jade Dew Pill is only suitable for female cultivators. Otherwise, if I refine it to the top grade, or even the best grade, my cultivation speed will still not take off!"
Jade Dew Pill has a unique effect, but it is only for female cultivators.
For male cultivators, it is a defective elixir.
After swallowing and refining, the cold and cold energy remaining in the Dantian will greatly affect male cultivators.
The higher the level of the elixir, the stronger the coldness!
The female cultivator naturally likes it, but Luo Chen doesn't like it.
Unfortunately, this "defect" for male cultivators is not a congenital defect that is solidified in the Dantian like Chalcedony Pill.
It is beneficial to female nuns.
This is a kind of defect that is deliberately created by humans and can even be caused by people.
Therefore, even the system will not optimize this "defect".
"No, we have to find a way to find more middle-grade and top-grade Heqi pills besides auctions."
"The Shenglong Pill will work too!"
"Counting the time, it's time for Li Jinhuang to come back."
"He is old, well-connected, and has many connections. He may know some ways to get high-grade elixirs."
Luo Chen made up his mind, and he really didn't want to slow down his cultivation speed because of the level of the elixir.
A few days later.
A sound-transmitting paper crane passed through the Tiansheng Water Defense Formation and fluttered to the front of Luochen Cave.
Then, a figure left Tianlan Peak.
