Chapter 143: Fourth Level of Foundation Building

Since the battle of Zihuai Mountain, the three counties in the southeast have been peaceful for a while. Zhao Xinlian of Qingxuan Sect also took his disciples to Shuangjiao Mountain and cooperated with You Nianwei to guard this stronghold deep in the southern wilderness.

Both of them are purple mansion cultivators. There are a lot of disciples. In addition to recruiting some casual cultivators, there are more than a hundred cultivators on Shuangjiao Mountain. In a few hundred years, it will be a black mountain again.

Since refining Sanyang Pill, Zhang Zhixuan has lived a peaceful period. Today, he finally touched the bottleneck and prepared to take the elixir to break through the realm.

Since he built his foundation, he has been relatively smooth on the road. He has not encountered a bottleneck for more than ten years and has easily broken through two levels.

Today is the first time he has encountered a bottleneck. Zhang Zhixuan felt that his mana was stagnant and a tingling sensation came from his flesh. He took Sanyang Pill without hesitation.

Sanyang Pill is full of fire and yang. If a water spirit root cultivator takes it, it will immediately conflict with mana. Not only will it not be beneficial, but it will also have hidden dangers.

Zhang Zhixuan has studied this kind of elixir for six or seven years and is very familiar with its effects.

Any elixir basically has elixir poison, unless it is a rare high-grade natural treasure, which has no side effects.

Taking elixir is a very serious matter. At least you should understand the side effects of elixir to avoid hidden dangers in the future.

Some cultivators from famous sects even have special elixir methods to eliminate elixir poison and refine various elixirs.

Small family cultivators like Zhang Zhixuan naturally do not have elixir methods. They can only rely on their own body regulation and rely on long years to resolve elixir poison.

Therefore, as a casual cultivator, you must have the ability to be self-disciplined and cannot be tempted by various elixirs and easily take elixir with different effects.

There are conflicts between elixir. You take an elixir with sufficient fire spirit today, and take an elixir with sufficient water spirit tomorrow.

The previous elixir has not been refined yet, and taking another elixir that counteracts it is equivalent to burying a bomb in your body.

Zhang Zhixuan started practicing, and in his early years, he was short of resources and had no resources to take elixir to practice.

After coming down the mountain, he quickly found Qingchan. After half a year of hardship, they soon found the Qingling Taiyi Pot thanks to her, and they no longer lacked cultivation resources.

The cup of spiritual water condensed by the Qingling Taiyi Pot every day, although it was only equivalent to a spiritual stone, was made of pure water spirit without any impurities, which was enough for the two of them to practice, and they rarely took spiritual pills.

After building the foundation, although he lost the Qingling Taiyi Pot, his family quickly cultivated a third-level spiritual vein, and he practiced on the third-level spiritual vein. Basically, he has not taken any spiritual pills for more than ten years.

Zhang Zhixuan has a detailed pill formula in his hand, and he clearly knows the weakness of taking Sanyang Pill.

After taking this spiritual pill, the yang fire will be strong within three years, and there will be a dryness in the blood. It is impossible to practice in a spiritual place with strong yang fire.

Fortunately, the water and wood spirits are the most abundant near Lingjing Mountain, and this weakness is easy to overcome.

After taking the spiritual pill, Zhang Zhixuan felt a heat all over his body, and even his spirit felt a manic feeling. He suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and immediately took this heat to refine the medicinal power, and madly attacked the bottleneck of mana.

Breaking through the bottleneck was very painful, but Zhang Zhixuan had experienced the pain in his bones when he was building the foundation. This pain was almost unnoticeable to him.

After three hours of hard work, he finally broke through the barrier and broke through the fourth level of foundation building at the age of forty, becoming a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building.

Zhang Zhixuan's progress was already very fast. Aunt Hanyan was a cultivator of Qingxuan Sect with ice spirit roots. At the age of forty, her cultivation was only the third level of foundation building, not as good as Zhang Zhixuan now. She broke through the middle stage of foundation building at the age of forty-two, two years later than Zhang Zhixuan.

Time passed very quickly, spring went and autumn came, and three years had passed.

Since Zhang Zhixuan broke through the realm, another three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

During these three years, Zhang Zhixuan lived in the house next to the spirit well almost every day, and even the white jade beehive in the spirit field was taken care of by him personally.

In addition to refining one or two furnaces of elixirs from time to time, Zhang Zhixuan has been honing his vigorous yang energy almost every day for the past three years.

After three years of meditation, he finally completely eliminated the poison of the Sanyang Pill and eliminated the hidden dangers in his body.

This year is the tenth year that Qingchan has practiced the soul-nourishing technique.

After ten years of practice, her soul has improved a little. As long as she can successfully build a foundation, she can restore her soul and find the lost soul again. After one or two months of study, she can speak.

When Qingchan was building a foundation, she not only had to go through three levels and three difficulties, but also had to concentrate on refining the soul. The task was heavier than Zhang Zhixuan's.

However, she was a water spirit root cultivator. This kind of heavenly spirit root cultivator, the meridians and dantian are naturally tougher than ordinary cultivators. Even without the foundation pill, she can successfully build a foundation, and the pain she endured is far less than Zhang Zhixuan.

Moreover, Qing Chan has practiced the Qi Condensation Technique for a longer time. She is already 36 years old this year. She has been learning this magic for almost 30 years. She has refined a lot of purple qi. With the help of the innate purple qi, her chance of building a foundation is higher than Zhang Zhixuan.

Zhang Zhixuan was meditating by the spirit well when his seventh uncle Zhang Mengyuan came hurriedly. He held a letter and handed it to Zhang Zhixuan respectfully.

Ever since he killed his fourteenth uncle Zhang Mengchen in Zihuai Mountain in the South Wilderness, the cultivators of the Meng generation in the family dared not regard him as a junior.

Although Qi Bo is nearly a hundred years old, he is still in good health. In recent years, he has not resigned from his position as an elder and returned to the mountain gate to take care of his old age. Instead, he has been staying in Lingjing Mountain to take care of the spiritual field.

With Zhang Zhixuan's foundation building, especially after the spiritual measuring platform was built, the family's finances have improved, and three hundred spiritual stones have been used to open up spiritual fields every year, and this has been going on for three years now.

Compared with when Zhang Zhixuan first came down from the mountain, twenty-seven years later, the family's spiritual land has increased by almost fifteen acres. Now, at the foot of Lingjing Mountain, the Zhang family has successfully opened up forty-five acres of spiritual land.

Zhang Zhixuan took the letter and read it. The letter was from the patriarch Zhang Leqian.

It turns out that Zhou Wennian, the head of the Zhou family, had already made plans to move back after seeing that Hongliu Mountain had been peaceful for the past ten years.

The patriarch’s letter was to ask Zhang Zhixuan’s opinion.

The old head of the Zhou family, Zhou Wenjian, died at the mouth of the snake demon in Black Python Mountain. Another ninth-level Qi practitioner, Zhou Yanghu, also died of old age at Tiantai Peak. Now the head of the Zhou family is the new clan leader, Zhou Wennian.

"Zhou Wennian is over sixty years old, and he is still at the eighth level of Qi training. He is destined to have no hope of building a foundation. This person's desire for power is not great. I don't know why he must leave Lushan?"

Zhang Zhixuan couldn't figure it out, so he decided to ask Zhou Wenian himself to see what he thought.

As for the monks and population of the Zhou family, Zhang Zhixuan still hopes to integrate them into the blood of the Zhang family. If Zhou Wenian can be persuaded to change his mind, Zhang Zhixuan is still willing to try it himself.
