Chapter 52 Promotion to the Inner Sect

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Yiqiao gradually came to his senses. He jumped up from the futon and carefully understood the changes after the foundation was built.

The most obvious thing is the liquid spiritual power flowing in the Dantian. There is such a huge difference between the liquid state and the gaseous state. Its quality is more than fifteen times higher than that of the latter. Now that Zhou Yiqiao controls Gelsemium, there will no longer be any in the body. Spiritual energy drains away as quickly as a floodgate opens.

Needless to say, there is no need to talk about spiritual consciousness. Zhou Yiqiao released it from his body, and he could see all the scenes within a five-mile radius. It was three points better than the average monk in the middle stage of foundation building. If Zhou Yiqiao focused his consciousness in one direction, even the flapping wings of insects in the grass could be clearly seen.

The most important thing is the physical body. After being baptized by the Heavenly Dao Foundation, the strength of his physical body has increased by nearly a hundred times compared to the Qi Refining stage. Medium and low-grade magic weapons cannot easily hurt Zhou Yiqiao now.

Of course, for monks who pursue longevity, all this is not as gratifying as the increase in longevity to four decades. The change in the nature of life marked that Zhou Yiqiao officially embarked on the road to immortality.

After reopening his seven orifices, a stench spread into his nose. Zhou Yiqiao looked down and saw that his whole body had been covered with a layer of gray and black impurities, making him extremely slovenly.

He took out a bathtub and washed it in a rare leisurely manner. It wasn't until he put on a new piece of clothing that he noticed his regrown left hand.

He looked back at the futon, and saw that the prosthetic body he had been entrusted to build had fallen aside. It must have been left behind when he was in a coma, and the power of heaven was used to make up for the damage.

Heaven believes that human beings are the primates of all things and are the best form for living beings to cultivate immortality. Therefore, they will help monsters and beasts transform into humans after they have established their foundations. Correspondingly, they will also make up for the imperfections of human monks after they have established their foundations.

Zhou Yiqiao already knew this and was not surprised. He put the prosthetic body into the storage bag and sat back on the futon.

He calculated with his fingers that there were still several months before the cave was due to expire. Since his purpose was to escape from the war, it was naturally impossible for Zhou Yiqiao to leave the cave early.

The Five Elements Building Technique distributed by the Yaori Sect is nothing more than Qi Refining Technique. This foundation-building technique still needs to be given by the disciples after they join the inner sect.

Even so, Zhou Yiqiao can still stabilize the realm he just broke through and is familiar with the use of liquid spiritual power.

At the same time, the magical weapons that have been used can also be refined again to deepen the imprint of divine consciousness on them, so that they can be activated more easily when facing enemies in the future.

Zhou Yiqiao spent several days refining several magical weapons on his body, and then he focused on two tasks, controlling Gelsemium and the Golden Silk Sword to fly up and down in the cave.

"After some sacrifices, it is enough to deal with ordinary monks in the early stage of foundation building, but if you face the middle stage of foundation building, the strength of these two magic weapons is far from enough."

"It seems that we need to obtain the spiritual weapon that can only be used after advanced foundation building as soon as possible."

Zhou Yiqiao thought silently, put the two magical instruments into his storage bag, closed his eyes and consolidated his body's cultivation.

Waiting for him to open his eyes again, several months later, the fellow guards guarding the foundation building site were already urging him loudly outside the cave.

Zhou Yiqiao raised his eyebrows slightly. Time seemed to pass much faster after foundation building than during the Qi refining period. The scene a few months ago seemed like yesterday to him. It seems that it is not an exaggeration to say that he is able to stay in seclusion for dozens or even hundreds of years because of his profound cultivation.

There were ripples in the cave formation. It seemed that the fellow disciple outside had not received a response for a long time and planned to use more radical means to remind him.

Zhou Yiqiao took his time and put the objects around him into his storage bag. After erasing the traces, he confirmed it with his spiritual consciousness before closing the cave formation in the face of the other party's constant testing.

Zhou Yiqiao did not have such a cultivation technique, and at this time, the powerful spiritual pressure in the foundation stage was spread out in all directions without concealment.

The cave formation stopped operating, and the spiritual pressure rushed out of the cave in an instant, suffocating the Qi Refining Stage disciple who kept urging him.

This man was nearly fifty years old, and his temples were already white. At this time, his face was red due to Zhou Yiqiao's pressure.

The old man felt the spiritual pressure from Zhou Yiqiao's foundation-building stage, thought that his previous behavior had offended Zhou Yiqiao, and hurriedly apologized.

"Senior Brother Zhou has offended you a lot. Your use of the Foundation Establishment Cave has expired. Junior Brother, please follow the rules. I hope that Senior Brother will forgive you."

Zhou Yiqiao naturally wouldn't blame the other party for fulfilling his duties. After restraining his spiritual pressure, he chuckled and spoke, and in a few words, he directed the topic elsewhere.

"It doesn't matter, Senior Brother Minai has just made a breakthrough and is not yet familiar with how to control it."

"Last time, Fellow Daoist Zheng handled the matter of foundation building for me. I guess he should be preparing to build the foundation, right?"

Seeing that Zhou Yiqiao didn't care, the old man breathed a sigh of relief and stood aside respectfully to answer Zhou Yiqiao's question.

"Senior brother knows things like a god. Senior brother Zheng also applied for retreat a year ago. After handing over the task with his junior brother, he returned to his clan."

Zhou Yiqiao kept this information in mind, took out the token of the cave and handed it to the old man, hugged his fists towards him, and flew away with the golden sword under his feet in the envious eyes of the other man.

Because it was his first time flying with a sword, Zhou Yiqiao was very careful. He was no more than a hundred feet above the ground from beginning to end, and his speed was always kept at a very low level.

But even so, two hours later, he arrived in front of the Tianyin Peak Contribution Hall, two thousand miles away.

Zhou Yiqiao was born with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and his appearance became even more handsome after the foundation was built. In addition, he was full of vitality from the inside out after his breakthrough. As soon as he landed, he received a lot of attention.

He frowned secretly in his heart and walked into the dedication hall as if there was no one else around.

Zhou Yiqiao originally wanted to reminisce with Shi Kai and learn about the current situation of the sect.

After asking, I found out that Shi Kai had resigned from his position as deacon of the Contribution Hall a few months ago, and was taken by his grandfather Jin Dan, who forced him to devote himself to cultivating Taoism.

Although Zhou Yiqiao felt strange, he could not easily ask why, so he had to give up and continue with the real purpose of the trip.

Disciples of the Yaori Sect were promoted to the inner sect after establishing their foundation and were already the backbone of the sect. Naturally, they would not be allowed to deal with trivial matters of the sect. They came here to register and improve their treatment.

There is a huge difference in treatment between the disciples inside and outside the Yaori Sect. After being promoted to the inner sect, not only can the cave be moved to the second level of spiritual veins, but the monthly salary has also increased from the pitiful one Yuan Ning Dan and two spiritual stones in the late stage of Qi Refining. To three spirit-gathering pills taken by foundation-building monks and fifty spirit stones.

In addition, there are many invisible benefits that need not be mentioned.

Zhou Yiqiao simply registered and chose a cave in a second-level middle-grade spiritual mountain. After receiving the white robe and token representing the inner disciples, he hurriedly left the Contribution Hall.
