Chapter 163 Foundation Building Level 5

After cleaning up the poison pool at the bottom of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, Zhang Zhixuan immediately returned to Lingjing Mountain.

His cultivation has reached the peak of the fourth level of foundation building, and he may break through at any time.

Up to now, Zhang Zhixuan has been building the foundation for twenty years. Since he started practicing Taoism, he has gone through more than forty years. Even becoming a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building has taken eight years.

After more than eight years of practice, Zhang Zhixuan just returned to the mountain gate and sensed the best time for breakthrough. He broke through the realm without any effort.

After twenty years of foundation building, Zhang Zhixuan finally became a cultivator of the fifth level of foundation building.

Because he did not take the foundation building pill to build the foundation, his mana and consciousness are much stronger than cultivators of the same level.

Up to now, his mana and consciousness are equivalent to those of the seventh level of foundation building. Compared with the patriarch who has been building the foundation for a hundred years, Zhang Zhixuan is now more powerful.

After twenty years of continuous practice, the family's martial arts method, the Heavenly Fire Golden Sword Art, has also made great progress.

Because his mana is equivalent to that of a seventh-level cultivator, after breaking through the realm, Zhang Zhixuan is ready to condense this Heavenly Fire Golden Sword.

The most important key to this technique is to condense the golden sword.

Zhang Zhixuan is a cultivator with three spiritual roots: gold, fire, and wood. His gold spiritual root is the best, his wood spiritual root is the worst, and his fire spiritual root is between the two.

Fire can overcome gold, and wood can produce fire. The gold spiritual root in Zhang Zhixuan's body is very powerful. Even with the help of the wood spiritual root, the combined power of wood and fire is far less powerful than the gold spiritual root.

His spiritual root attribute is very suitable for practicing the Heavenly Fire Golden Sword Technique.

If his fire spiritual root is the strongest, the fire attribute mana will have a violent conflict with the gold spiritual root. With the help of the wood spiritual root, it may be better to practice a single attribute fire attribute technique.

Fiery fire can forge real gold, and appropriate fire attribute mana can temper the golden sword a little sharper.

In the twenty years since Zhang Zhixuan established his foundation, he has practiced the Samadhi True Fire and Fire Yang True Thunder spells, and today he has finally begun to condense the most powerful Heavenly Fire Golden Sword.

From the perspective of learning spells, Zhang Zhixuan's talent and comprehension are still good. He has twenty years to lay the foundation, and he is already familiar with this technique.

Although he cannot draw inferences from one example and modify and create subsequent techniques, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has mastered it thoroughly after twenty years of continuous efforts.

The process of condensing the golden sword was very smooth. After half a year of smelting, the Heavenly Fire Golden Sword finally took shape.

The golden sword has just been practiced, and because the time of warming and smelting is still short, its power is not very great, which is only equivalent to a third-level inferior gold spell.

However, the growth potential of the Heavenly Fire Golden Sword is very good. As long as time is invested and continuous condensation is continued, the power of the Heavenly Fire Golden Sword will become greater and greater.

Even after Zhang Zhixuan opened up the Purple Palace, as the mana and true fire in his body gradually became stronger, the power of this golden sword would not fall behind, and it could still be his trump card.

After refining the Heavenly Fire Golden Sword, Zhang Zhixuan had another trump card in his hand. However, the progress of another spell, Purple Qi Divine Light, was far less smooth than the Heavenly Fire Golden Sword.

The further you practice this spell, the more difficult it is. Although Zhang Zhixuan has been practicing day and night for so many years, the progress is only halfway through.

The more you practice the acupoints, the more dangerous they are. Almost all of them are concentrated inside the brain. If you are not careful, you will cause sequelae that are difficult to deal with.

Every step Zhang Zhixuan takes, every time he opens an acupoint, he is almost trembling and treading on thin ice. When he just built his foundation, he expected to be able to refine this spell in 30 years, but according to the current progress, it may take more time.

Zhang Zhixuan was very cautious and steady. Although the progress of the Purple Qi Divine Light was not great, he would not be impatient to take risks to open the acupoints.

To practice this spell, one must not be impatient. One must proceed steadily and open the acupoints blocked in front little by little. Only cultivators with a calm personality can practice it.

And for cultivators who are resolute and impatient, nine out of ten will go astray when practicing this spell that is not suitable for their personality. They will either die on the spot or become fools.

Seeing that the Purple Qi Divine Light could not make any progress, Zhang Zhixuan did not force it and chose to come out of retreat immediately.

During the year he was in retreat, the family had good news again.

Eight months ago, Qingchan also successfully broke through the first level and became a cultivator of the second level of foundation building.

Qingchan is a cultivator of heavenly spiritual roots. According to the normal progress of cultivation, his cultivation should have caught up with Zhang Zhixuan.

Unfortunately, when she was young, an evil cultivator took away one of her souls. In order to grow this soul again, she spent fifteen years at the ninth level of Qi training.

Even so, Qingchan's soul consciousness after building the foundation is slightly weaker than that of normal cultivators.

For this reason, it took her five years to break through the first realm after building the foundation, which is slightly slower than Zhang Zhixuan and Hanyan.

However, as her cultivation level increases, her soul will slowly recover, and her cultivation level will increase faster and faster.

It may still take five years to break through the next realm.

According to Zhang Zhixuan's current estimate, in the early stage of foundation building, Qingchan needs five years to break through a realm, which is not as good as the second spiritual root cultivator.

But after the middle stage of foundation building, as the soul has begun to slowly replenish the foundation, it is estimated that Qingchan will break through a realm in five years, which is faster than the second spiritual root cultivator. Even Hanyan, who has a different spiritual root, cannot break through a realm in five years after the middle stage of foundation building.

After reaching the late stage of foundation building, Qingchan's cultivation speed was almost the same as that of a normal Tianlinggen cultivator. In less than 20 years, he would be able to cultivate to the peak of the foundation building period and prepare for the opening of the Purple Mansion.

Because of the hidden dangers in her soul, Qingchan did not show the cultivation speed of a Tianlinggen cultivator. In addition, for so many years, except for a trip to Black Mountain with Zhang Zhixuan, she basically never left the protection of the family.

Although her successful foundation building also surprised others, her identity as a Tianlinggen cultivator has not been exposed, and others have not suspected it at all.

Zhang Zhixuan and the clan leader had already discussed it and told the outside world that Qingchan was a cultivator who took the foundation building pill to build the foundation.

Although the Zhang family now has three foundation building cultivators, there is also Hanyan in the Qingxuan Sect.

But they still dare not expose Qingchan's Tianlinggen identity, so as not to bring hidden dangers to the family. In addition to Qingchan's breakthrough, the family also has an elder of the ninth level of Qi training during this period.

This person is Zhang Zhixuan's ninth brother, named Zhang Zhifan. He is already 57 years old and is also a four-spiritual root cultivator. It is basically impossible for him to build a foundation.

However, Zhang Zhifan's level of refining is good. She learned refining from her eighteenth aunt Zhang Mengqin and was already a second-level lower-grade refiner.

After nearly 20 years of exploration, his refining level finally caught up with Zhang Mengqin and became a second-level upper-grade refiner.
