The night is quiet and the sky is full of stars.
A figure flew slowly in mid-air with a sword, and finally landed on the top of a barren mountain. He found a large stone with a smooth surface and lay down on it. He stared at the night sky, wondering what he was thinking.
As time goes by, it has been two years since Li Qiao started to build the foundation of dual cultivation. He knows that it is not easy to build the foundation of dual cultivation. It depends not only on luck but also on time. In his initial thoughts, he always felt that he might be different, as long as he With a correct direction of practice, even if you are lucky enough to build a foundation through dual cultivation, there is hope for success. You can even imagine that you can successfully build a foundation within a year by relying on dual cultivation.
But the reality did not go according to the idea of a young monk like him. What his cultivation level was when he first started dual cultivation, he is still the same now. After two years of dual cultivation, there is not even a trace of foundation building.
There are only two things that have improved in the past two years. One is that the level of formation has improved a bit, and the other is that the relationship with Ji Qianyan has become much closer.
At first, the two of them just played in the city. Later, as they became more familiar and at ease, they would leave the city and play outside. However, no matter what, there was no sign or omen of the so-called foundation-building opportunity.
I know in my heart that this is something that requires long-term persistence, but there is always some restlessness in my heart.
In general cultivation, no matter how slow it is, whether it is decades or hundreds of years, monks can feel the progress to some extent, but with this dual cultivation foundation, they can't feel anything. Especially as time goes by, monks who choose dual cultivation foundations will think of it. One question: It is very possible to continue like this until death, and as time continues, this fantasy becomes stronger and stronger.
It's okay for him to be the kind of monk who just lays down and gives up. But for the monks who are still thinking about building the foundation, it's a bit torture. Even Li Qiao gave birth to a question about whether the dual cultivation partner is not good. Should he try another one? idea.
If Li Qiao was a carefree little monk, he would probably have been sinking in his efforts to build the foundation of dual cultivation. When will he find a different female cultivator to try, and in the end he would most likely die due to exhaustion of his lifespan. After all, the number of monks who successfully build a foundation through dual cultivation is not only one in a million, but only one in a thousand, and the probability is very low.
But he is not. Although he spends very little time with his family after cultivating immortality, the status of his family in his heart has never changed. At this moment, he will run to the top of the mountain to lie down at night. He has just returned from visiting his relatives and feels that his parents are getting older. I feel a little sad.
The lifespan of a monk in the normal Qi training period can reach more than a hundred years, while a mortal can live up to a hundred years. He knew that his father's greatest hope was that his family would not be killed by the fifth generation of the family. The rest of the family should not be able to count on it, and he If you want to be recognized by the family, you need to build a foundation.
As for why this is the case, he has also thought about it. It's just that his quick cultivation does not require high qualifications and is easy to succeed. If he is easily recognized by the family, it is easy to have some problems. Moreover, now he has some understanding of the world of immortal cultivation. He knew in his heart that the family did not need his kind of quick cultivation, because the hope of advancing to foundation building was too low. In the past, a mortal child like him would be attracted by the spirit. At this time, he also understood why.
He said that the family was not good, but it was the support of all family monks and mortals. He said that the family was good, but he was not friendly to the desire of the mortals to cultivate immortality.
"If we continue to try to build the foundation of dual cultivation, I don't know how long it will take. Even if I succeed in a few decades, my father will not be able to see it anymore!" On the desolate mountain top, faint words rang out in the cold night.
At this moment, Li Qiao wavered for the first time in his choice of dual cultivation foundation, not because of himself, but because of the expectations that had been placed on him since he was a child. When he was testing his qualifications when he was young, his expectations failed. Later, he seized the opportunity of Na Ling and put this expectation on himself.
Of course, he can choose not to care about this expectation. After all, it is so difficult to build a foundation, so I can't blame him, but I don't want to give in.
What if we don’t choose to double build the foundation?
Orthodox foundation building is not suitable for his kind of quick cultivation. There are also foundation building methods suitable for quick cultivation, but it is too difficult for a young monk like him to accumulate so many resources.
Even if you don't die in an accident, you may not have enough accumulated until you die. Cultivation resources are basically in the hands of sects and cultivating families. It is difficult for casual cultivators to have anything good in their hands, and sects and
How could he easily provoke the Immortal Cultivation Family? Not to mention other things, it was obvious that he couldn't kill Ji Yunbo who was plotting against him near his own clan.
Li Qiao broke into the world of immortality in search of opportunities, and spent several years. Although some gains were only a drop in the bucket, opportunities and other encounters were encountered, and the scenes between life and death were encountered several times. It was precisely because he saw through this kind of Due to the situation, he chose to return.
He once thought about finding other methods of cultivation, but now it seems that he was young and ignorant at that time. How could that kind of cultivation method be easily found? Even if he found it, it was unknown whether it would be suitable for him to practice. This is an even more unreliable idea than dual-building foundation building.
Feeling a little upset in his heart, Li Qiao suddenly rose up with his flying sword and quickly went in a certain direction.
In the darkness, there was a violent sound of water, as if something was falling into the water quickly.
This is indeed the case. Li Qiao came to the water pool where he was fighting in the past. After arriving, he plunged directly into the water pool. He didn't know if the low-level monsters from back then still existed. He wanted to kill a few of them. Two years later. He only spent time fighting with a female cultivator, and he felt that his fighting skills could not be improved. He was feeling depressed and came here to relax.
If there was danger here back then, now with multiple magic weapons and Ah Piao's body protection, he could basically be invincible.
The waterway from that year still existed. It was very narrow at the beginning and gradually widened. Li Qiao wandered all the way and didn't see the shadow of the monster for a short time. So he first searched for the place where Zhuyan Grass was found according to the situation in his memory. . .
The distance is not far, and with the help of spiritual consciousness, it is easy to find it. However, the year is too short, and only close to ten Zhuyan grasses are mature. In this regard, I plundered all the mature Zhuyan grasses, and then turned around and left. .
But before Li Qiao could go far, he suddenly stopped in place. Although he said he wanted to relax and hunt low-level monsters, all he could think about was the issue of foundation building.
Above the water, a small vortex was somehow formed. The water flow continued to revolve around the vortex, and soon the vortex disappeared.
This was the scene Li Qiao saw, but when the vortex disappeared and the water surface returned to calm, he remained motionless, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, Li Qiao suddenly stretched out a hand and drew a circle on the water surface, and then another vortex appeared on the water surface, but under the control of his spiritual consciousness, this vortex became bigger and bigger.
Looking at the scene in front of him, an idea that seemed a bit crazy to other monks gradually took shape in his mind: instead of dual cultivation of foundation building, he would try to quickly repair the normal foundation building.
How does foundation building work? To put it simply, it is to compress the spiritual energy in the body into spiritual power. Normal monks rely on Dantian Qi sea compression, dual cultivation foundation relies on zhu compression, and historical quick cultivation relies on meridians.
The meridians are narrow and long, how to compress the spiritual energy? To put it simply, the meridians that belong to the nine levels of Qi training are connected to form a large circulation of meridians. Just like the deeper the water, the greater the pressure. The longer the meridians circulate around the world, and the things running in it are The stronger the gathering power of spiritual energy, the greater the pressure on the meridians.
Under normal circumstances, the monk's meridians would not be able to withstand the pressure, and the meridians throughout his body would basically burst.
What to do with the precious elixir needed for quick foundation building? It relies on powerful medicinal power to maintain the strength of the meridians.
Li Qiao knew all this. Just looking at the vortex in the water, he suddenly thought of a question: How does the air in the vortex prevent the water from entering?
Then I thought, can a similar method be used to prevent the spiritual energy in the meridians from exerting so much pressure on the meridians? Is it necessary to make the spiritual energy in the meridians rotate?
He knew that when the spiritual energy rotates, it may become as destructive as a tornado, and the running routes of the meridians are even more complicated. If the spiritual energy in the meridians really rotates, then the meridians will be easily torn apart like paper.
But I know, I know, is there any solution? For example, control the speed of spiritual energy rotation in the meridians, or only allow some meridians to do so? Although it is definitely not easy, it is not impossible to succeed!
With this discovery, Li Qiao had no intention of continuing to wander around here, and turned around directly to return to the clan.
In the following days, besides
In addition to continuing to try dual cultivation, more thoughts are put on thinking about this foundation-building method.
"What did you put in me?"
When a certain male and female monks were mixing together, the female monk's voice suddenly sounded in surprise. Although the monks had spiritual consciousness, at this time, the male cultivator took the initiative.
"Zhuyancao, this is for you." The male cultivator's voice sounded.
"You have your heart." The two of them spent more time together than they originally agreed on, whether it was the number of times or the time they spent together. Although neither mentioned it, both of them understood that it was impossible to continue like this.
Li Qiao, who had just taken the Zhuyan Grass, was thinking about another problem. As the idea of building a foundation became more and more perfect, his ambition to build a foundation became stronger and stronger in his heart.
He knew that it was dangerous to build a foundation according to his own ideas. It was best to be more stable and wait until there was really no choice before trying again, but he really didn't want to wait forever. He even thought about dying silently somewhere if his attempt failed. land.
If he is really going to die, there are some things that need to be arranged.
There was nothing to arrange for his family. If he left too many resources and there were no monks at home, it would easily bring danger, so he would not leave anything more.
The second thing that worries me is Ah Piao. Although it doesn’t speak and doesn’t seem to be very intelligent, and can only circle around him, it has always been by his side without saying a word, and has helped him through crises several times. He doesn’t know that he If he dies, will Ah Piao die with him?
But this guy A Piao is killing people by running into other people's bodies. There is no way to send him out. He can only hope that he can survive well even if he dies.
After that, Li Qiao's eyes fell on the crystal white snow in front of him, thinking that it had brought him a lot of joy after all, and he wanted to verify whether the technique he created was not worth mentioning. If the technique was not like Normal ghost cultivation techniques are so bad that if he dies, he will leave behind a backup plan and hand over this technique to his family, hoping to give his dead self the status of a formal monk.
If you die in the process of foundation building, you can count yourself as a foundation building monk.
But Li Qiao will let her choose whether to use Ji Qianyan as the person for verification.
"Do you want to learn the invisibility method of ghost cultivators?" he asked.
Normally, a monk who knows what the method of ghost cultivation is, would probably refuse. It is obvious that the monk Ji Qianyan does not know. Instead of hesitating, he turned around and asked excitedly: "Really?"
"But one thing I have to say in advance is that my invisibility method is somewhat different from normal ones, so you probably won't be able to use it."
"Is it the same invisibility method you used before?" she asked.
"Yes."
"I'll learn!" The female nun's watery eyes were full of excitement and desire.
After that, Li Qiao transferred the coldness in her body to Ji Qianyan's body through dual cultivation, and started to operate according to the path of the ghost vein.
"What is this? It's so cold!" Facing the unfamiliar energy entering her body, Ji Qianyan was worried and a little panicked, but in the end she chose to believe in Li Qiao.
"The ghost energy that runs the exercise, remember the route of the exercise."
When Ji Qianyan's icy running route was completed, she instantly disappeared in front of her eyes. However, Li Qiao's eyes moved slightly, and the pupil technique was activated, and the hidden figure of the other party was directly exposed.
"This technique is so powerful, what's its name?" When the female cultivator appeared again, she turned around and hugged the male cultivator, and asked happily.
"...Ghost Vein Destruction!" Li Qiao, who had never thought of giving the technique a name, made up one at random after being asked this question.
After that, Li Qiao took Ji Qianyan out again, and now the other party almost obeyed his words.
"There's something wrong with a monk there, go and have a look." Not far outside the family's sphere of influence, Li Qiao pointed at the monk who suddenly fell not far away and said.
In fact, there was nothing wrong with him, but he killed Ah Piao by letting him go.
"You go check on the monk's condition, and I'll observe the surrounding situation." Li Qiao then continued.
"I'm going..." Female cultivator Ji Qianyan was still a little scared when she saw such an inexplicable accident. After all, who knew the danger?
Have you left?
"There must be something wrong with the monk himself. It's fine."
After Li Qiao persuaded her again, Ji Qianyan insisted on going.
Soon, Li Qiao, who was pretending, also came to the death monk. He felt the slightest bit of coldness entering his body and sighed in his heart.
It was passed to Ji Qianyan's Ghost Vein Mie Xing, but the other party did not absorb the cold ability of the Death Monk. It seems to be related to Ah Piao.
If Ji Qianyan could also absorb the coldness, he would ask the other party to make a soul oath at this moment to ensure that the technique would not be spread to outsiders, but with this result, he felt that it was unnecessary.
