Three days later, Chen Mo rented a secret room with abundant earth fire in Lingdan Peak and prepared to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill by himself.
After these few days of training, Chen Mo has initially mastered the key elements of refining the Foundation Establishment Pill. Next is the opportunity to prove the theory.
Although Elder Shen didn't let him practice it himself, with careful observation, Chen Mo felt that there was a high probability that he could follow the instructions and refine a foundation-building pill.
Nowadays, there are only two problems before Chen Mo:
First, how to calm down the fluctuation of the medicinal power of Millennium Bauhinia Fruit?
He once pretended to ask Shen Mingyue casually, what would happen if the age difference between the redbud fruit and chalcedony was too big.
The latter replied: "Every monk knows that the redbud fruit is the root, and chalcedony is the supplement. If the spiritual power in the root is too strong, not to mention the difficulty of refining, just taking it will cause the Tao base to fluctuate too much, causing inability to The collapse of recovery, but excessive auxiliary things will have no effect, at most it will be an overflow of Qi and blood, which can be eliminated after three to five years of cultivation."
The current solution that Chen Mo can think of is to mix mild medicinal liquid into the Foundation Establishment Pill, which will have the effect of slightly reducing fluctuations.
But there is no precedent for this kind of risky behavior. Chen Mo is just trying to cross the river by feeling the stones, and the result is hard to say.
"Whether it fails, it only proves that I don't have this blessing..."
Chen Mo paced back and forth in the spacious space, thinking silently in his heart:
"Relying on the harvest in the secret realm and the foundation accumulated with the sect, I can exchange it for a foundation-building pill. To say the least, I have left a way out. This matter... is over for now."
Chen Mo pinched the jade slip passed from the sect yesterday, feeling extremely melancholy. He had been reluctant to make elixirs for a long time, mainly because of this reason.
Lan Ruoxian is dead.
Liu She is dead.
Ye Yunqi also died.
There were also two Qi-refining stage monks he was familiar with. They both couldn't bear the effects of the medicine after taking the Foundation-Building Pill, and their Taoist foundations collapsed and died.
The 30% success rate was not meant to scare people. He didn't dare to ask any more and immediately retreated to prepare for alchemy. He was afraid of hearing the news of Lin Yuqin's death again. Similarly, he was also worried that he would become one of them next.
Chen Mo thought about it and decided to draft two letters. Regardless of whether the alchemy was successful or not, he would build a foundation here today!
He originally thought he had a lot to say goodbye, but he hesitated when he started writing. Chen Mo smiled bitterly, yes, why did he need so much nonsense in the suicide note he wrote to himself?
...
"Cheng An, when you read this letter, it proves that I am dead. A monk is mortal, just like Mount Tai compared to a feather. He dies for cultivation. A well-deserved death is heavier than Mount Tai. How happy!"
"It's just that I still have an unfulfilled wish. I hope you can complete it for me. After it is accomplished, you will inherit all my magic weapons: Go to Qinfeng County in Chu State, find an old man named Li Qing, and give me the magic weapon in my package. Give him the Fate-Resisting Pill, and then go..."
When Chen Mo wrote this, he originally wanted Cheng An to go back to his birthplace to tell his parents about his death, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind and hastily crossed out this sentence.
"So be it!"
Chen Mo read it again. It was smooth and easy to understand. He took out his pen and wrote another letter. There were five words on the outer page, and Lin Yuqin signed it personally.
"Junior Sister Lin, no matter whether you misunderstand or you are sincere, I, Chen Mo, have never liked you, and naturally I will not love you. I hope you find a husband and grow old together!"
The signature was appended with the word "ultimate note". Chen Mo thought for a while and determined that he would no longer owe anyone in his nearly thirty years of life. He placed the two letters in a storage bag and threw them in the corner.
Chen Mo stood quietly for a cup of tea. This might be the last evidence of his survival in the world. He was saying goodbye.
At this moment, his mind was completely empty, except for the two definite goals of alchemy and foundation building!
"here we go!"
'Boom' sound!
Chen Mo took out the borrowed red maple cauldron, which caused the secret room to shake violently. Then a floor tile in the center opened with a 'snap', and raging fire erupted from the ground, completely igniting the inside of the alchemy cauldron!
"Chalcedony!"
Chen Mo didn't say anything. He held the silver-white Ganoderma lucidum in his empty hand. As the spiritual power was activated, the thing expanded more and more. Just before it was about to explode, Chen Mo shouted and opened the top lid and threw it into the alchemy furnace. middle.
The colorful herbs completed their last journey of life in his hands. It was quite a laborious task to stimulate the herbs. Chen Mo had Yin spiritual power at his side. Nearly 80% of the elixir was gone, and he was about to be unable to bear it. .
"Millennium Spiritual Liquid!"
How could Chen Mo not expect such a thing to happen? The vial that he fought with Meng Qianqiu came in handy. After taking a few drops, he felt rejuvenated and his eyes widened, prompting him to activate the medicinal herbs again!
The last highlight is the Millennium Bauhinia Fruit. After being stimulated, it has undergone new changes. Sometimes it appears dark purple, sometimes it is covered with a layer of orange, and it even appears mysteriously black in a very short period of time. It is quite For strange.
Chen Mo didn't think too much and threw it into the alchemy furnace. He squeezed the magic with both hands and sealed the furnace lid with great spiritual power. He controlled the earth fire with spiritual power outside the furnace and calcined the spiritual liquid.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the properties of the medicine in the furnace were stable. Chen Mo formed a pen with one finger and injected spiritual energy into the front of the furnace cauldron to suppress the irritability of the medicine. Chen Mo carefully and cautiously described what Sun Xing taught him. A simple spiritual formation diagram.
Seeing that the situation in the furnace was still calm, Chen Mo slapped his chest again, and the blood he spat out uncontrollably sprinkled on the alchemy furnace, causing the temperature of the entire secret room to rise suddenly by a few points. Chen Mo suddenly felt sweat on his forehead, and he could not walk for hundreds of miles. Half a century later, there are still many key places waiting for him.
.......
The morning sun was rising and setting in the west. It was an ordinary day for everything in the world, but Chen Mo was living like a year. Sixteen hours had passed, and a strong scent of medicine began to overflow from the secret room. Chen Mo's eyes flashed, but fortunately he had done all the preparations before. Enough, this is about to become a pill!
"open!"
Chen Mo's voice was hoarse, and he hit the hot outer furnace with his palm, causing the alchemy furnace to shake violently, and the ground fire inside also swayed.
"Open again!"
Chen Mo took two steps back, gathered all his spiritual power between his arms, jumped up with a loud shout, and placed his hands on both sides of the stove lid. He only heard a 'bang' sound and a strong white flow. The smoke spread crazily, and a small ball with flowing light flew out along with the furnace lid!
Chen Mo's heart was beating wildly. The tray he had been preparing for a long time was covered with red cloth. In an instant, he caught the purple foundation-building pill. It was full of luster and full of medicinal fragrance. It was almost three times larger than the outside one. !
Chen Mo laughed and closed the floor tiles in the secret room. The furnace stopped rotating and fell. He sat cross-legged and took out the thousand-year spiritual liquid to replenish his spiritual power. He struck while the iron was hot. He wanted to attack the foundation-building realm in one go!
After another five hours, Chen Mo returned his body to its peak state. He was not in a hurry to swallow it, but observed the elixir. The three colors of yellow, purple and black coexisted. It was an ordinary foundation-building elixir from the outside world. , only purple will remain after the surface is formed.
"It's all this bastard Meng Qianqiu's fault! I will definitely kill her if I get the chance!"
Chen Mo blamed Meng Qianqiu's troubles for his failure to obtain the Millennium Chalcedony Zhi, but thinking about it now was in vain. He tried hard to clear away his anger and immediately bit into the Foundation Establishment Pill!
This elixir was as big as a steamed bun, but there was nothing real when he took a bite of it. When Chen Mo was surprised, he felt a cool spiritual energy pouring down his throat into his stomach, and then he tasted the bitter herbal taste.
At the same time, in Chen Mo's dantian, the Daoji, which is composed of a jade plate composed of 30% vitality and Yin spirit power, is about to withstand an unprecedented storm. Whether they will fall together or be reborn, it all depends on God's will!
The airflow of the Foundation Establishment Pill was divided into two streams in the abdomen. One stream poured into the spiritual veins and began to transform Chen Mo's limbs and acupuncture points throughout his body. The other stream rushed directly to the Dantian and turned into a sea of mist. , will soon dominate all things in this world!
Chen Mo's whole body felt a numbness like an ant bite. He knew that this was just the beginning. Although there was some pain, it was still within the tolerance range. But the next thunder in his dantian made him feel as if he was being hit by a sharp ax from the sky. Split open, his mind exploded like a firecracker at this moment.
"Crack!!"
The sea of mist transformed by the foundation-building elixir gradually piled up over Dantian, forming a dark cloud that covered the sky and the sun. There was a faint resonance of thunder. In the atmosphere that was about to condense, a thunder that shrank several times. , and struck hard at the jade plate in the center of Dantian!
"--boom!"
Chen Mo was so shocked that he vomited blood. He never thought that the jade plate would withstand such a violent attack. After a bolt of lightning, the green and white jade plate had fine cracks!
If Chen Mo was just a jade plate composed purely of Yin spirit power, or a Dao foundation composed of all vitality, he would never be unable to resist a blow. Hate is hate. Chen Mo in the Qi refining stage will not refuse anyone who comes, what? Absorbing all kinds of spiritual power and practicing all kinds of techniques, his body became a hodgepodge. Although the power was more amazing than a single one, when he encountered the real power of cultivation, his little tricks showed their true colors!
"No! If this continues, I will collapse after three thunderbolts!!"
Chen Mo naturally knew what was going on in his body, what should he do? what to do! The only thing he can do at the moment is to forcefully suck out the thunderous fog from his dantian and distribute it to the spiritual veins throughout his body. Only in this way can the complete collapse of the jade plate be prevented!
It is easy to see but difficult to do. Let’s not talk about how to do it. If it just blocks the Dao foundation from forming, the possibility of building the next foundation is almost zero. In order to save your life, you can only stay in the Qi refining period for the rest of your life? !
Just when Chen Mo was hesitating, the second thunder struck again, and the two-color jade plate was shattered by half in an instant. Chen Mo's expression was extremely depressed. He checked himself with his spiritual consciousness. There were at least seven thunderbolts. How to resist the next few attacks? !
Chen Mo desperately scanned everything in his dantian and suddenly discovered the thing he had been ignoring. He was like a drowning traveler who discovered a floating board and shouted: "Black stones! Yes! I still have black stones!" "
Chen Mo relied on his thoughts and immediately controlled the direction of the black stone. It was not his own thing. It might be a good way to use him to resist the thunder!
Being able to resist a thunderbolt, Chen Mo did not sit still and wait for death. Instead, he repaired the two-color jade plate like crazy. Although his speed was far behind the speed of lightning formation, no matter what, it was better to do it than wait to die. .
"Uh-huh!"
The third bolt of thunder came rolling in. Chen Mo yelled and put the black stone in front of the jade plate. He only heard a "zip" sound, as if Chen Mo activated it for the first time. This thing actually absorbed all the The power of thunder actually cast a tiny arc on its own luster!
Chen Mo was surprised and happy!
This sudden change is undoubtedly a great blessing. He has already withstood three lightning bolts. If the black stone can withstand one more lightning strike, he will not be without hope if he fights for the remaining three bolts!
'——Crack! '
The fourth thunderbolt came as promised, but I don't know why. It seemed that the power of the Foundation Establishment Pill knew that Chen Mo was cheating. This thunderbolt was more powerful and crazier than the first three. It promised to make Chen Mo's soul fly away with one blow!
Chen Mo was shocked and immediately let the black stone expand his body. No matter what, catching this wave of thunder would be half the success!
However, a surprising scene occurred.
The black stone seemed to be irritated. It suddenly jumped out of Chen Mo's control. In Chen Mo's astonished expression, the small stone did not retreat but moved forward, unfolding a big black cloth and facing the thunder and lightning!
'puff! There was only a dull sound. The black stone seemed to have absorbed the fourth thunderbolt, but it still did not stop. Instead, it pushed even further. The entire black cloth enveloped the Thunderbolt of the Foundation Establishment Pill. No matter how it shook, it never stopped. Willing to withdraw!
"Boom boom boom boom!!!"
Chen Mo's severe pain disappeared, and soon there were five thunderous sounds, but they all disappeared without a trace under the obstruction of the black cloth!
The calamity cloud dissipated after nine bolts of lightning fell, and Chen Mo regained control of his body. He was a little stunned and said: Is this the end? ! Immediately, an even greater sense of absurdity and panic came over!
The black stone absorbed all of his foundation-building thunder energy, which was equivalent to the power of tempering his dantian being forcibly eaten by it!
Chen Mo's current state can only be said that his physical body belongs to a foundation-building monk, but his spiritual power level is still that of Qi Refining Dzogchen!
"how so?!"
In panic, Chen Mo wanted to turn the black cloth into stone again, but the latter had escaped his control and slowly fell down on its own, just in time to wrap up the broken two-color jade plate.
Chen Mo suddenly felt a burst of warm heat, which quickly exploded in his Dantian. This refreshing feeling made him couldn't help but scream. At the same time, the foundation-building elixir liquid in his body was digested, and the black cloth It actually dissolved into the jade plate and merged with the original two-color jade plate!
The three colors of black, green and white are me among you, and you among me. There are no more obvious boundaries. Slowly, streams and branches begin to appear on the jade plate. There is a recessed position in the center, and the jade plate absorbs The spiritual energy and liquid in the spiritual veins are flowing and flowing into the center drop by drop. Although the speed is extremely slow, overall, a sign of the foundation building period has been formed!
As long as the sunken part passes through cultivation and gathers spiritual liquid to solidify, the moment it becomes a pill, he will be a pill-forming monk!
Chen Mo, build the foundation! !
Chen Mo opened his eyes. He who was invincible in the secret realm was back again! This time it is not a time-limited foundation-building monk, but a genuine early-stage foundation-building!
"I...I...built the foundation!"
Chen Mo couldn't control the joy on his face. He couldn't wait to summon the Condensing Light Refining Color, but the shield was extremely thin and fragile. The moment the silver unfolded, it was not as thick as it was in the secret realm.
Chen Mo attributed everything to the fact that he was just in the early stages of foundation building and was not yet familiar with the operation. He was so excited that he burned the two suicide notes he had prepared. He was still alive, so he had to do the next thing by himself!
"Don't be in a hurry. Wait a little longer and get enough rest before going out!"
