Chapter 319 Crossing the Ming River and the Four Spiritual Roots

This tributary of Ming River is small, but this is only relative to the entire Ming River.

It is generally difficult for late foundation-building cultivators to cross this small tributary of Ming River, one of the reasons is the problem of spiritual power.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Qianqing planned to obtain the second opportunity in the late foundation-building period.

If the foundation-building period and the Qi-refining period want to cross this tributary of Ming River, the method they use is basically to take a boat.

Every year in Lu State, there are special spiritual ships going to Daming State or Fanyang State. Daming State is in the east, Fanyang State is in the west, and there are three small countries between the two countries, and then they are divided by two small Ming Rivers.

The difference between the two tributaries of Ming River is not big. Generally speaking, the tributary of Ming River that needs to be crossed to Daming State is wider.

There are occasionally special spiritual ships going to Daming State in Zhao State, but they are very few, and there are none in Yue State at all. The reason why Yue State is long from north to south and narrow from east to west is naturally related to the tributaries of Ming River.

In his previous life, Li Qianqing traveled to Daming Kingdom on a special spiritual ship in Lu State. At that time, he was also in the late stage of foundation building, but he was over 150 years old at that time, unlike now, he is not yet 105 years old.

In his previous life, it was also because of this opportunity that he was fortunate enough to successfully form a pill and become a Jindan stage cultivator.

As time went by, Li Qianqing had seen the endless river water in the distance. The water of Ming River has a characteristic that it will not make any sound when it flows, even when there are waves on the surface.

From a distance, people who don’t know would think that this is a pool of stagnant water that will not flow.

When he came to the edge of Ming River, Li Qianqing did not go over immediately. He put away the flying spiritual tool, sat down on the ground, held the spiritual stone in both hands, and began to recover his spiritual power.

When his spiritual power was fully restored, he started to cross the Ming River directly. He would not take out the flying spiritual tool he had put away. On the Ming River, except for the special spiritual boat made of spiritual wood that needed to be irrigated with the water of the Ming River, using ordinary flying spiritual tools to cross the Ming River would increase his burden.

When a cultivator crosses the river alone, it is best to fly directly in the air.

Half a day later, Li Qianqing had recovered all the spiritual power he had consumed.

"Recovering spiritual power here is really slow."

Sit down in a normal place. Even if there is no spiritual energy around, the speed is still good if you use spiritual stones to restore spiritual power.

Li Qianqing looked into the distance again, and then started to cross the river!

Above the Ming River, the higher you fly, the more spiritual power you consume. Therefore, Li Qianqing, who was flying in the air, kept a distance of about ten feet from the surface of the Ming River. This is a real low-altitude flight.

Between ten feet and three feet is more reasonable. The higher the spiritual power consumed, the more spiritual power is consumed, but it is not good to fly directly close to the surface of the Ming River. There are also threats below the Ming River. If it is too low, it is easy to fail to react.

He is flying like this now, and the spiritual power consumed is almost three times more than the normal flight.

According to the speed of his spiritual power consumption, if he wants to cross the Ming River, the remaining spiritual power will be about 40%.

This is why ordinary late-stage foundation-building cultivators cannot cross the Ming River. The spiritual power consumption is too large. If they choose to cross in a narrower place, even if they can barely reach the other side of the river, it is actually quite dangerous under the condition of extremely high spiritual power consumption.

When he entered the late stage of foundation-building, his spiritual power quality was three points stronger than that of ordinary peak foundation-building cultivators. After a period of practice, he also practiced "Zhongyuan Gong" to make his spiritual power more powerful.

If he chose a narrower place to cross the Ming River, perhaps the remaining spiritual power could be close to 50%.

This is not important to him now. As long as he does not go to Yueguo to cross the Ming River, it is actually the same. If he is now at the peak of the middle stage of foundation-building, the location of crossing the Ming River really needs to be carefully chosen.

Flying eastward at low altitude, Li Qianqing has consumed 30% of his spiritual power so far.

He has now reached the center of this tributary of the Ming River.

Be more careful here, as the threat from below is greater, and be prepared for sneak attacks from below at any time.

If you are lucky, in the process of crossing the Ming River, there will be no other places where spiritual power is consumed except for flying.

This time, Li Qianqing's luck in crossing the Ming River was not particularly good, but it was not bad. At least he did not encounter any attacks when crossing the first half.

'Here it comes! '

Li Qianqing quickly noticed the movement below. Not to mention ordinary late-stage foundation-building cultivators, even normal early-stage Jindan cultivators would find it difficult to feel the threat from below as quickly as he did.

This is due to the strength of his spiritual consciousness. You must know that the spiritual consciousness strength of normal mid-stage Jindan cultivators is only about 70% of his.

He was well prepared. When he saw a strange fish with sharp teeth showing its head, the flame blade condensed in his right hand slashed it out.

One flame, cut off the river!

Without any hesitation, Li Qianqing directly used one of the magical powers of the Nine Flames Art.

The first magical power that has been cultivated to perfection is a powerful magical power against a single enemy, and its power is particularly strong!

Even a cultivator in the early stage of Jindan would have some difficulty in taking his move.

The flaming blade directly split the head of the strange fish in half, and the moment the flame touched the water of Ming River, it disappeared directly.

"Solved."

After killing the strange fish, Li Qianqing did not even look at it and continued to head east.

The realm of this strange fish just now is the second-stage late stage. In the Ming River, its strength is actually stronger than that of ordinary cultivators at the peak of foundation building. If Li Qianqing's strength is only at the normal level, he would have died when he was attacked by this strange fish just now.

What do the cultivators in the Five Kingdoms call this thing?

It seems to be a demon beast big-headed sharp fish...

Li Qianqing knows that the species living in the Ming River are actually not demons, but real Ming people.

Whether it is a demon or a Ming, they are all alien races. For most human cultivators, they will fight directly when they meet.

This tributary of the Ming River is very small, and there are basically no Ming people above the third stage. Therefore, the strange fish just now is already very powerful here. If there are a small number of third-stage Ming people, he will not cross the Ming River directly. It is better to take a special spirit ship like in his previous life.

In the second half of the flight.

He also encountered a Ming tribe, but compared with the previous strange fish, this Ming tribe was weaker and only entered the second stage. After being dealt with more easily, it did not delay his flight.

On the Ming River, seeing Li Qianqing on the other side, he increased his speed again.

His previous speed to cross the Ming River was the most reasonable. If he accelerated again, the consumption of spiritual power would be greater, far exceeding the benefits brought by the increase in speed, but it didn't matter now.

"Finally arrived."

After Li Qianqing landed, he found a place to recover his spiritual power.

He didn't have a map of the Ming Dynasty. According to his memory, this should be Xiangyuan County of the Ming Dynasty, one of the 99 counties of the Ming Dynasty. The area is almost half of Zhao State, and it is one of the counties with the largest area in the Ming Dynasty.

The place where he got the opportunity was in Yanyu County of the Ming Dynasty, which is still a long way from here.

As one of the two major countries in the Five Kingdoms, every county in the Daming Kingdom has at least a Jindan-level force. For Li Qianqing, he must be careful when he moves here. It's okay to meet a Jindan-mid-stage cultivator, but he is not sure he can deal with an ordinary Jindan-late-stage cultivator.

...

Zhao State.

Xiangshui County.

Li Xingwei, who was originally engaged in affairs in Changqing Mountain, came to Changqing Mountain.

Li Xingwei ranked thirty-seventh in the Xing generation. There were no cultivators of the Qian and Li generations after the thirtyth. When the new cultivators in the family were mainly the Xing and Xun generations, it was also the time when the mortals of the family began to increase in large numbers. Therefore, there were more cultivators starting from the Xing generation.

Currently, the lowest Xing generation is ranked forty-three. The current Li family basically does not give birth to cultivators of the Xing generation, and the Xun generation cultivators have ranked fifty, and the next one to appear is fifty-one.

Li Xingwei, who ranked thirty-seventh in the Xing generation, is sixty-four years old this year.

At the beginning of last year, he, who had four spiritual roots, had cultivated to the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining. Because he had practiced body refining in his early years, his Qi and blood began to decline after he was sixty-five years old.

It has been more than a year since he entered the peak of Qi Refining, and he has also prepared for more than a year to build his foundation. Although he has four spiritual roots, the chance of building a foundation is pitifully small without using the foundation-building pill, but he still wants to build his foundation, even if he sacrifices his life. Of course, it is good to survive if the foundation-building fails, so that he can contribute to the family for the rest of his life.

When he returned to Changqing Mountain, he wanted to build his foundation with the help of the foundation-building cave of the Li family cultivators.

Dongdong——

Li Xingwei knocked on the stone door of Li Qianqing's cave.

After about three breaths, there was no response.

"Is Thirteenth Uncle not here?"

If he is in seclusion, there must be a sign outside the cave that he is in seclusion. Don't disturb him if there is nothing particularly important. If he is in the cave normally, the door should be open now.

If the clan leader is not here, the first elder who builds the foundation in Li Xingwei's mind is Li Lilong.

This matter is the same as Li Lilong. Fourth Grandfather can also open a cave for him, of course, this is when Thirteenth Uncle is not around.

"If Fourth Grandfather is not around, I can only go to Seventeenth Brother."

There are three foundation-building cultivators in Changqing Mountain. It is impossible that all of them are not around.

Soon, he came to Li Lilong's cave.

This time, when he knocked on the stone door, the stone door finally opened.

"Fourth Grandfather." When he saw Li Lilong, Li Xingwei first saluted, and then said, "The clan leader is not here, so I came to find you."

"Your Thirteenth Uncle is out for training." Li Lilong explained briefly.

There is no need to hide Li Qianqing's training from the clan members, and of course there is no need to explain it.

Such news should spread naturally in the family.

Thirteenth Uncle is out for training...

Li Xingwei repeated a sentence in his heart, and soon he thought that it was rumored that Thirteenth Uncle was out for training last time, and it seemed that he was still in the ninth level of Qi Refining. If he was out for training this time in the late stage of foundation building, it is very likely that Thirteenth Uncle is looking for a chance to form a pill.

Although he had not had much contact with Thirteenth Uncle, he was a legend in his memory.

When he just became a cultivator, it was Li Qianou who guided and trained him. If he had become a family cultivator more than ten years earlier, even if he was a cultivator with four spiritual roots, he could have received guidance and training from Li Qianqing.

For three spiritual roots to form a pill is like him wanting to build a foundation with four spiritual roots now, but he thinks that Thirteenth Uncle has a much greater chance of forming a pill than building a foundation.

"Xingwei, are you planning to build a foundation?" Li Lilong didn't know what Li Xingwei was thinking, so he asked directly.

"Yes, Fourth Grandpa, I want to build a foundation. My blood and qi will start to decline next year."

Li Lilong nodded. So far, there is only one cultivator with four spiritual roots in the family who has tried to build a foundation, and Li Xingwei is the second one.

In the current Li family, cultivators with three spiritual roots in the family basically have the opportunity to build a foundation, and cultivators with four spiritual roots have to work harder than others to cultivate to the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining before their Qi and blood decline.

In the previous Li family, cultivators with four spiritual roots wanted the opportunity to build a foundation, but it was not enough to rely on their own efforts, because the resources of the family were limited, and the resources that could be exchanged every year were only a few, and the resources that helped the middle stage of Qi Refining to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining were particularly scarce and expensive, which made them even less likely to build a foundation.

Going out to experience and try to get opportunities was the only choice for the cultivators with four spiritual roots in the Li family at that time.

As for cultivators with five spiritual roots who want to have the opportunity to build a foundation, let alone their top family of foundation-building immortal cultivators, even the family of Jindan immortal cultivators cannot solve it. The cultivation of cultivators with five spiritual roots is too slow, and it is a waste to give them resources to cultivate, unless this guy with five spiritual roots is the child of a Jindan cultivator, so that the Jindan cultivator can solve his cultivation problem by himself.

"Have you finished reading the book "Foundation Building Experience"?" Now the Li family has a book summarizing the foundation building experience of the family's foundation building cultivators, which was written by Li Qianqing. Anyone in the family who has not declined in Qi and has cultivated to the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining can exchange and read it without consuming any contribution points.

Li Xingwei nodded. When he cultivated to the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, he immediately went to the family library to exchange for this book. Although the book is not very thick now, Li Xingwei believes that it will become thicker and thicker in the future.

"Okay, come with me."

"Yes, Fourth Grandpa."

Li Lilong took Li Xingwei to the cave where the family cultivators built their foundation. After using a medium-grade spirit stone to fully open the spirit gathering array, he closed the stone door of the cave and left.

In addition to the foundation building pill, the family also has spiritual objects that are a little bit helpful for foundation building.

These spiritual objects must be exchanged.

Only the three spiritual root cultivators at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining can exchange these spiritual objects. They have cultivated to this level and have accumulated a lot of contribution points.

The clan members with four spiritual roots are different. Just to cultivate to the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining before their Qi and blood decline, they basically consume all their contribution points. And this is only when they are lucky. If they are unlucky, when exchanging for pills that can break through from the middle stage of Qi Refining to the late stage of Qi Refining, they fail to break through and get stuck in this realm. They have a slow cultivation speed, and they have even less time.

Compared with the clan members with three spiritual roots, the cultivators with four spiritual roots really can't use any external objects to build their foundation. (End of this chapter)
