Castle Peak.
In the secret room, Lin Changan, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes, and could not help but reveal a hint of joy in his brows.
"This method of increasing spiritual consciousness is really good. It was a bit difficult to use three top-quality magic weapons at the same time before. It is best to use two magic weapons at the same time. Now that I have reached the first level, I can clearly feel that three magic weapons It’s not as difficult to use the magic weapons at the same time as before.”
Ordinary foundation-building monks control two magic weapons for one attack and one defense. It is rare to be able to control three magic weapons at the same time. After all, there are always only a few monks who are born with strong spiritual consciousness.
Feeling the growth of his spiritual consciousness, Lin Changan couldn't help but smile, "But Chen Yi is really good at calculating. For individual monks, this kind of exercises can only increase their combat power, but they can only help the family and sect forces." It’s the biggest.”
"I'm afraid that's why the Chen family uses it for trading." Lin Changan knew that he was a casual cultivator, so he was relieved. Even if he wanted to establish a sect or form a family, it wouldn't be possible in a short time.
Therefore, this type of technique poses little threat to him, and the Chen family is indeed too weak at the moment.
"But this skill is a bit strong. Even the resources it consumes are enough to drink a pot. Ordinary families really can't bear it."
Looking at the disappearing spirit stones around him, Lin Changan couldn't help but chuckle teasingly. He had consumed nearly 10,000 spirit stones just to reach the first level. It is conceivable that although this technique is powerful, it is not heaven-defying. of.
"It's time to get out of seclusion. Although my cultivation has not increased much, my combat power has improved a lot."
With the enhancement of his spiritual consciousness, Lin Changan can control one more magical weapon at the same time. This is a direct increase in combat power.
After leaving the customs, Lin Changan came to the main hall.
"Senior Brother Lin, in the past six months, the He family has relied on their connections in Tianyuan City to continuously purchase goods. With the Bai family's channels, they have made a lot of money, especially since the He family has recently seen three foundation-building monks appear one after another."
Li Han, who is in his fifties, has already perfected his Qi training. He was indeed the most dazzling among the people when he was able to reach this stage with his low-grade spiritual roots.
You must know that even Qi Feng, who possesses a medium-grade spiritual root, has been able to break through to the sixth level of Qi training in recent years, which is the late stage of Qi training, but that will be the case in this life.
Listening to Li Han's report, Lin Changan couldn't help but nodded, with a hint of surprise on his brows.
"I never thought that the He family would add three more foundation-building monks. It seems that the He family has firmly established itself as the largest family in Qingshan City."
Li Han didn't know that the He family's Foundation Establishment Pill was given to him by his senior brother, but Lin Changan knew it very well. Six Foundation Establishment Pills produced three Foundation Establishment monks. The He family's background was really good. But whether it is hidden or not is unknown.
After all, he gave the He family six foundation-building pills, but the He family would not hang themselves from a tree. They would definitely find foundation-building pills from other channels, such as the four major families, or the closer Bai family.
As long as the He family has young monks with perfect qi training, they will naturally work hard.
But Li Han didn't know all this. Seeing Lin Changan's surprise, he nodded with emotion and said: "Yes, the eight foundation-building monks, although the three new ones are only in the early stage of foundation-building, they can already sit firmly on Qingshan. He is the leader of the largest family in the city."
"Now that the He family is in the limelight and they are married to the Bai family, many small forces in the city have chosen to attach themselves to it. The strength of the He family is increasingly colliding. The other clans in the city have also begun to join forces to resist the He family."
Listening to Li Han talking about the intelligence about the city in recent days, Lin Changan narrowed his eyes.
"The He family's popularity is indeed eye-catching, but they must also face a certain amount of pressure."
Lin Changan's affirmative tone made Li Han immediately grin and nodded: "Senior Brother Lin, the He family has been boycotted by all the major families in Qingshan City. These are still minor matters."
"Many people outside are staring at the He family. Although there is help from the Bai family, in the final analysis, what the He family did at the beginning was to betray the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. Nowadays, many people in the Jie Cultivator and Rogue Cultivator Alliance outside They all secretly keep an eye on the He family and will attack whenever there is an opportunity. Although the He family has grown stronger in the past six months, the business outside is also not going well."
"I even heard that it was in Tianyuan City!" When Li Han said this, he glanced at Lin Changan who had a calm expression and couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
"After I heard that the He family took root here, and the Huang family who had been offended in Tianyuan City found out, many people also targeted the He family's business. However, the world is a bit chaotic now, and the Huang family cannot cover the sky with one hand. Although the He family's business A little affected, but there are still people secretly making deals with the He family."
As Li Han said this, his face was not red and his ears were not red. He would not believe it if he, Senior Brother Lin, did not help to beat him to death, but his many years of experience have enabled him to face it all calmly.
Lin Changan even smiled calmly after hearing this, "No matter what, the He family's roots in Qingshan City will directly come into contact with the interests of other families. This is an irreversible situation, so the He family has only one way, and that is to continue to grow stronger."
"The He family has no choice. Even if they know that they will offend everyone, they can only move forward with their heads down. But now it seems that the He family has chosen the right path. After all, the three newly promoted foundation-building monks, plus the members of the family, Five veteran monks and eight foundation-building monks are enough to guarantee the family's century-old legacy."
It has to be said that although the He family took a little risk, the gains were huge.
Five foundation-building monks were lost in Tianyuan City, but the descendants of the elite within the clan were well preserved. This is the foundation of a family.
This is also the current situation of the He family, green and yellow are connected, a new generation of foundation-building monks has emerged, and the older generation is still going strong, perfectly interpreting the meaning of the word inheritance.
"But other families are doing well recently. With you here, Senior Brother Lin, the other families have more or less new foundation-building monks. Especially the Chen family, two foundation-building monks have appeared, which makes the already somewhat declining family The Chen family suddenly revived..."
Li Han said with envy. Lin Changan waved his hands and smiled angrily after seeing this scene, "Li Han, Li Han, you have something to say."
Facing Lin Changan's laughing and scolding tone, Li Han scratched his head in embarrassment.
And Lin Changan is naturally not stupid. Although Li Han's talent was poor at the beginning, he has never delayed his cultivation over the years, and has even been practicing hard. In addition, he has a lot of resources to follow him, and he actually reached the level of cultivation nearly fifty years ago. Late stage of Qi training.
but!
When talking about foundation building, Lin Changan couldn't help but show a solemn look, looked at Li Han and said solemnly: "There are no outsiders here, and you and I will not talk about outsiders."
"Right now, you are at the end of your hard work in Qi training. Although you are close to perfection with the help of spiritual stone pills, you are actually still close to reaching perfection. At least you haven't touched that threshold yet!"
After talking about foundation building, Li Han also sighed and nodded with a wry smile.
"Senior Brother Lin, my family knows my own affairs. If I were ten or twenty years younger, I would not be in a hurry. But now I am forty-seven. Every year of delay will increase the difficulty of breakthrough."
"And I know my talent well. It will take at least five or six years of hard training to reach this threshold. But although there are many monks in the world of immortality, how many people can build a foundation after fifty years of age? Those who can build a foundation every year are even rarer.”
Li Han's current age is at the most embarrassing stage. If he waits any longer, he will be over fifty, and monks who are over fifty to build foundations are already considered old.
As for building a foundation when you are over sixty years old, this is no longer an old age, but an advanced age! Those who can build a foundation are really rare, and most of those who can build a foundation at this age are good at maintaining their health, and their future growth will be limited.
The younger you are when building a foundation, the better. For example, some genius disciples from some large sects even built a foundation before they were twenty. There is no natural reason for such a thing.
The best time to build a foundation is in your thirties, but most casual cultivators in the world of immortality try to build a foundation around the age of forty, and they will take the risk even if they are close to success.
Because as he gets older, the difficulty of foundation building will also increase, especially since he is almost fifty now and is already a little anxious.
Looking at Li Han's determined look, Lin Changan couldn't help but sigh: "Time flies so fast. We were only so young when we came here. Now you and I are almost at the age where we know our destiny."
Because of his early foundation construction, Lin Changan's appearance has always remained in his mid-twenties, while Li Han's plain appearance is obviously much more mature than him, and he already has an ordinary middle-aged appearance.
Li Han is forty-seven years old, and he is forty-six years old. In mortal terms, both of them are not young anymore. But in the world of immortal cultivation, foundation-building monks like Lin Changan are still young, and Lian Lian Li Han in Qi stage has reached his final peak moment.
"Have you decided yet?"
Looking at Li Han, Lin Changan asked again. However, this was a difficult choice for Li Han. He was a determined man with a rare look of embarrassment on his face, and he nodded with a wry smile.
"I am in the most difficult situation now. Continuing to practice hard will naturally increase the chance of a breakthrough. However, every additional year of hard training will make me one year older, which will also increase the difficulty of a breakthrough."
This is the most difficult point for Li Han to make a choice. If he continues to practice hard, he can improve the success rate of his breakthrough, but the difficulty of his breakthrough will also increase as he gets older. This means that one increase and one decrease does not seem to be of much help.
Therefore, the choice can only be in Li Han's hands.
Lin Changan looked at Li Han's embarrassed smile, and he also sighed melancholy, this is fate, spiritual talent is innate.
Among the middle-grade spiritual roots, relying on the untainted body of the exotic treasure, after many years of hard work after the breakthrough to the early stage of foundation building, one can feel that the cultivation has stagnated. This is the reason for the limitation of talent, let alone someone like Li Han. A low-grade spiritual root talent.
"I promised you and Qi Feng that I would leave you a Foundation Establishment Pill, whether it's you or your descendants. After all, you gave the spirit stone a long time ago."
When he said the last sentence, Lin Changan even gave a rare teasing smile, and Li Han also had a look of joy on his face, and at the same time, he looked at Lin Changan with even more gratitude.
When Lin Changan left Tianyuan Kingdom, news of refining the Foundation Establishment Pill broke out. The entire Qingzhushanfang City knew that he had let go of an alchemist with unlimited potential.
As the two of them had been in contact for many years, they had naturally negotiated a foundation-building pill through their friendship, and even paid a deposit for the spirit stone.
Lin Changan is in Tianyuan Kingdom, and the Qingzhushanfang City Sect is also in the hands of Murong Yue and them. Although the power is much smaller, there are a lot of spiritual stones every year. After all, the status is different.
At that time, the war had not yet started, and the price of a foundation building stone was a bit expensive in Miaowa Kingdom, but in Tianyuan City, it was still a normal price of more than 3,000.
Therefore, the price Lin Changan promised to the two of them was three thousand spirit stones for one Foundation Establishment Pill, which was considered a sincere price. Not to mention that the price of the Foundation Establishment Pill has doubled now, and it is even more expensive and has no market.
"Senior Brother Lin, I gave you 1,500 spirit stones at the beginning. Now I have accumulated some over the years. I only have more than 2,000 spirit stones. I know it is not enough, but I will make up for it in the future."
The current value of the Foundation Establishment Pill made Li Han feel a little embarrassed and took out his spirit stone bag from his arms. This was indeed his entire net worth.
Although Li Han has earned a lot of spiritual stones over the years, he has also consumed a lot in cultivation. To be able to accumulate more than two thousand spiritual stones, he must have practiced frugally and hard.
After seeing the bag of spirit stones in Li Han's hand, Lin Changan waved his hands with a smile and said: "Who do you think I am, Lin? Since we agreed on three thousand spirit stones at the beginning, we will have three thousand spirit stones. If it were someone else, I Of course the price will go up, after all, the current market situation is just like this."
"But you and I don't have to be so open to each other." Lin Changan smiled and waved his hand, directly rejecting the other party's spiritual stone.
When Li Han saw this scene, his eyes were full of gratitude. He naturally knew that Lin Changan was doing it for the sake of their friendship. You must know that a Foundation Establishment Pill is currently selling for eight or nine thousand spirit stones, and even some At that time, even ten thousand spirit stones might not be able to buy it.
Purchasing Foundation Establishment Pills on the black market was risky, and Lin Changan was definitely at a loss if he could still give him the spirit stones at the price he had mentioned.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Lin."
Even though there were thousands of words, Li Han only turned into a word of thanks in the end. They also knew that gratitude was much better in their hearts than in their mouths.
"You should adjust your condition during this period. I happened to have some extra when I was refining elixirs for other families some time ago."
Putting aside the relationship between the two, Lin Changan had to think twice about making the original promise. After all, he was still in business, especially the alchemy business.
Integrity is there, and this golden sign is naturally there. Once there is a stain, integrity is gone.
Even in the world of immortality, if an alchemist wants to go far, he must have integrity.
Even an ordinary alchemist knows it, not to mention that he can intercept so many materials secretly, so Lin Changan will not mess around whether it is because of the relationship between the two or something else.
And if this matter spreads, it will definitely attract a lot of people. After all, the Miaowa country itself is in chaos, and it has become even more chaotic due to the wars in these years.
Integrity is more precious in troubled times. After all, who doesn’t want to find a reliable alchemist?
"Well, I will adjust to the best condition during this period."
Li Han nodded firmly, now it was time for him to build the foundation, but there was a trace of worry deep in Lin Changan's eyes.
Li Han is someone he can trust no matter what. It would be best if he could build a foundation. After all, he has one more capable helper, but!
Having experienced stagnation in his cultivation and personally experiencing the potential of his spiritual roots, he knew more clearly how difficult it was for Li Han to break through.
Most of the foundation-building monks in the world have high-grade spiritual roots. The middle-grade spiritual roots only have less than one level. There are too few low-grade spiritual roots that can break through to the foundation-building monks.
As for the earth spiritual roots and the heavenly spiritual roots, these two categories are rare in themselves, so naturally they are not among them.
Li Han has survived these years solely by relying on resources and hard work of water dripping through stone. Therefore, the potential of his low-grade spiritual roots has reached this point at this age, which has exceeded 99% of the monks with the same spiritual roots.
It’s just this last step that’s missing. What’s missing is not just will, but opportunity!
When thinking of this, Lin Changan sighed secretly. He could only try his best to help this friend, but whether he could succeed or not depended on God's will. (End of chapter)
