Chapter 148 Late Stage

Although Daqing is lazy all day long and looks very tired, he is actually very dedicated to training, so his strength has improved a lot in the past two years.

However, perhaps due to racial reasons, Daqing still has not reached the perfection of the early stage of foundation building, and is still a short distance away from breaking through.

Xiaoqing brought a huge surprise to Li Zhirui!

He actually broke through from the fifth level of Qi training to the eighth level of Qi training, and he is not far from the ninth level of Qi training. He is expected to break through the foundation building within three years.

Moreover, Xiao Qing has also grown from the original eagle appearance to the current giant eagle with a height of more than ten feet and a wingspan of two or three feet. The tough green feathers are like claws of steel and the sharp and keen eyes. These all show that Xiao Qing Already entering adulthood!

The most important thing is that after Xiaoqing grew up, his intelligence also improved a lot. Although he was still not as smart as Daqing, he could at least understand some simple words of Li Zhirui.

"Thank you for your hard work." Li Zhirui patted Daqing's head.

He had been concentrating on refining his magic power this year and only came out a few times, and every time he came out he was in a hurry and had no time to observe their specific situation.

In fact, if he hadn't needed to refine Yuan Ning Dan for his family and replenish spiritual objects for Daqing and the others, Li Zhirui wouldn't have wanted to leave the quiet room.

And for the naughty Xiao Qing to achieve his current level of cultivation, Da Qing is definitely the number one contributor.

"Xiaoqing, go out and relax. Remember to come back early and don't leave Jiuquan Island!"

Li Zhirui walked to the door, took the message from his tribe, opened the door, turned to look at Daqing, and asked, "If you feel bored, you can go out for a walk."

Now all the casual cultivators on Jiuquan Island know that he, the foundation-building cultivator, has raised a Blue Wind Eagle, and they dare not do anything to Xiao Qing, but after he goes out, that may not be possible.

twitter!

Xiao Qing flapped his wings excitedly, causing a huge gust of wind, and disappeared in an instant. It was obvious that the past two years of practice had exhausted him.

Daqing shook his head gently, came to his side and lay down again.

Li Zhirui smiled and said nothing more. He looked at the jade slips quietly. One person and one turtle were in harmony.

During his period of seclusion, the family was peaceful and nothing major happened.

What is worth mentioning is that Li Zhiyue broke through the foundation building, and since then the family has the seventh foundation building monk.

In addition, after more than two years of moving to the island, Li Shiqing has built a bridge made of islands from Darong Island to Sequoia Island, which is more than 300 miles long but only a dozen miles wide.

However, the price of doing so is that there are no islands that Li Shiqing can move within a hundred miles of sea near the island bridge.

After all, he is only in the early stage of Jindan. Some larger islands will be unable to move due to insufficient mana. If it exceeds a hundred miles, Li Shiqing will have to stop halfway to recover his mana.

In addition to the internal affairs of the family, the jade slips also recorded news about Yuan Mingzong.

Jiang Tianming later showed up, and together with Zhenren Mingli, cleared away the hidden dangers in Guangqingzhou, and used practical actions to prove that he was not injured, shattering the suspicion of the outside world.

But Yuan Mingzong, who only had two golden elixirs, was no longer enough to make the Li family truly surrender, so the few resources offered last year were just a symbol.

"This is good, it can give the family a stable development time." Li Zhirui murmured.

"Daqing, do you want to go to space with me and have a look." Seeing Daqing nod, Li Zhirui thought, and the two figures disappeared immediately.

In fact, as Li Zhirui weeded and killed insects again and again, and the spiritual seeds were produced in space, he no longer needed to take care of them all the time. He just looked at them occasionally.

So even though he didn't come in much this year, the elixir in the space grew very well.

"The queen bee has broken through the second level?" Li Zhirui looked at the obviously larger giant spirit poisonous bee and said with some surprise.

You know, he got a nest of giant spiritual poisonous bees, and after signing a master-servant contract with the queen bee, he threw them into the space and let them brew spiritual honey for him to use in making elixirs.

But he didn't expect that today would give him a big surprise. The second-order queen honey is a good thing.

Li Zhirui happily came to the huge beehive, used his spiritual consciousness to control the queen bee to take out half of the queen honey, and packed it in a jade bottle for later use in refining elixirs.

Then I inspected this private spiritual field and found no problems.

He walked up to the Phoenix Grass with great expectation, hoping to find a second-level Phoenix Grass that had broken through the shackles.

These dozens of phoenix grasses were planted when he decided to raise a spiritual bird. The purpose was to get a second-level phoenix grass, and then slowly cultivate a fourth-level phoenix grass!

Because the fourth-level phoenix grass can allow spiritual birds to derive a trace of phoenix blood, and the phoenix bloodline is one of the top bloodlines among monster beasts. Even just a trace can improve the spiritual beast's grade and qualifications.

It's just that if you want the first-level Phoenix Grass to break through its shackles, how can it be done easily?

So Li Zhirui is destined to be disappointed this time.

Fortunately, he was mentally prepared and knew the difficulty of this matter, so he was not disappointed.

Of course, it is also because Li Zhirui has this magical space that does not require him to spend time and energy taking care of it.

Otherwise, like other monks who have this idea, he will not be able to hold on for long.

At sunset, Xiaoqing, who had been outdoors for a day, finally came back, and Li Zhirui was also preparing to retreat again.

Before retreating, he went out and left a jade slip for his family and a storage bag containing a large amount of Yuan Ning Dan.

There is not much content in the jade slip, except that he will continue to retreat, and this retreat is for a breakthrough, so he will not come out again in a short time, and has prepared a large amount of Yuan Ning Dan for the family in advance.

After everything was arranged, Li Zhirui activated the formation in the quiet room and placed a large number of spiritual stones around him to give himself a layer of insurance.

After adjusting his state, calming his mind, and clearing away many distracting thoughts in his mind, he began to operate his skills and breath out spiritual energy.

Li Zhirui's process of breaking through to the middle stage of foundation building was very uneventful, because he had already reached perfection in cultivation. He only practiced in seclusion for more than a month, and then the breakthrough came naturally.

The realm is so stable that he can leave directly without spending any time consolidating the foundation.

However, this time he wanted to break through the late stage of foundation building in one fell swoop, so he did not get up and remained in his current state.

It was not until half a year later that Li Zhirui felt that the time had come, and he took out the barrier-breaking pill and swallowed it without hesitation.

boom!

As soon as the spiritual elixir entered the mouth, it quickly turned into a mighty torrent of mana, rushing into the dantian and 'smashing' into the sea of ​​​​fa.

"ah!"

Fahai was being supported and expanded rapidly, and a wave of heartbreaking pain made Li Zhirui tremble all over and almost fell off the futon.

He only knew that the Barrier-Breaking Pill could help people break through quickly, but he didn't know that after taking it, it would make people miserable!

But now, Li Zhirui could no longer give up, because once he gave up, he would not only waste the barrier-breaking pill, but also cause damage to his Fahai, which would take a lot of time to repair.

He could only grit his teeth and work hard, trying to absorb this magic power quickly.

Li Zhirui had never felt that time was so slow, and the endless waves of pain made him think about giving up several times.

Fortunately, he was determined and persisted in the end.

After overcoming the crisis, Li Zhirui tasted the most delicious fruit!

The vast sea of ​​​​fa in his dantian, as well as the insignificant wisp of light golden yellow buds in the center of the sea of ​​​​fa, both indicate that he has successfully broken through to the late stage of foundation building!

It's just that this realm is only achieved by relying on external objects, so the mana in his sea of ​​​​dharma is very illusory. It is not like the liquid mana that a foundation-building monk should have, but presents a rich mist state.

Li Zhirui didn't care much about this. At most, he would just spend a few years refining his magic power.

If he were to cultivate slowly, it would be at least ten years before he breaks through to the current state, which is almost twice as long! Anyone would make the same choice as Li Zhirui.

And with Li Zhirui's breakthrough, Daqing and Xiaoqing, who had contracted with him, received another wave of mana feedback.

Xiao Qing didn't know why, but he was very happy, because with this second wave of feedback, he was only one step away from the foundation building stage, and could even directly hit the second level.

But Daqing found it strange. He had refined a ball of mana not long ago, so why did he have it now?

But soon, he was immersed in the excitement of his upcoming breakthrough and had no time to think about it.

Time flies, and five months later came in the blink of an eye.

The door to the quiet room that had been sealed for a long time was opened by Li Zhirui on an ordinary morning.

After this period of practice, the magic power in his body is no longer a 'light' mist, and there is no risk of falling.

"I have been in seclusion for several years, and I have finally broken through to the late stage of foundation building!" Li Zhirui stood up and raised his head, exhaling a long breath.

Daqing and Xiaoqing, who heard the sound, looked over and shouted excitedly.

"I know you guys have also made a breakthrough." Li Zhirui smiled with a smile on his face. If they hadn't made a breakthrough and allowed him to obtain two groups of mana, thus quickly consolidating his realm, he might still be in the quiet room now.

This is one of the benefits of practicing the "All Spirits Sutra".

The monk's own breakthrough will bring mana feedback to the spirit beast, making it easier for the spirit beast to break through, which can then in turn affect the monk.

"Let's go. I haven't been back to Darong Island in a few years. Now it's time to go back and surprise Second Grandpa and the others."

Phew!

Since Xiaoqing grew up, his screams have become very sharp and not childish at all.

"Okay, you can take me back."

But in this case, Daqing would have to go into the space to stay.

Speaking of which, this was his first time flying in Xiaoqing, but he didn't know how fast Xiaoqing could fly.

Li Zhirui sat on Xiao Qing's broad back, and his huge body rose into the air, blowing up a strong wind. The sound was so loud that nearby tribesmen ran out to check the situation.

"It's okay, it was Xiao Qing who made the noise while I was out of quarantine returning to my family." Li Zhirui explained.

Only then did everyone put aside their suspicions and uneasiness, and turned to look at the huge spiritual eagle, which glowed blue under the sunlight.

"As expected of a third-grade spiritual beast, its size is several times larger than the jade-billed eagle cultivated by the family." A certain tribesman said with envy.

Another person's attention was completely different, saying: "Do you think Zhirui's release this time is because he has broken through the middle stage of foundation building?"

Their realm is too low. If Li Zhirui didn't take the initiative to expose him, it would be impossible to tell his realm.

"It should be, right? Hasn't he been in seclusion for more than a year this time? He must have broken through the middle stage of foundation building." The man said: "And didn't you notice? That Blue Wind Eagle has also broken through the foundation building."

"As expected of the genius of the family, he has made another breakthrough just a few years ago."

The reaction of the tribesmen was quite dull, because they also practiced the "All Spirits Sutra" and knew that Xiaoqing would definitely be able to break through the foundation building.

But when Xiao Qing came to the sky above the spiritual fields cultivated by casual cultivators outside the station, he aroused a wave of exclamations.

Li Zhirui ignored these casual cultivators, but they fell into a heated discussion.

The content is nothing more than that spiritual beasts like Xiaoqing have established their foundations, but they are still lingering in the Qi training period.

When Xiaoqing flew out of Jiuquan Island and reached the sky above the sea, he showed his true flying speed.

The sudden increase in speed caught Li Zhirui off guard. The oncoming strong wind slapped him hard on the face, and the sound of breaking through the air rang in his ears. In the end, he used his magic power to hold up a defensive shield to block these "attacks".

Xiao Qing's speed after breaking through the Foundation Establishment had surpassed that of his spirit ship, and Li Zhirui later learned that this was not Xiao Qing's ultimate speed. If he exploded with all his strength, it would be twice as fast!

However, the price of doing this is that Xiao Qing's mana is consumed rapidly, too fast, and his current physical body is a little unable to bear it.

After a journey of two to three hundred miles, Xiaoqing landed safely on Darong Island in less than half a quarter of an hour.

Phew!

Xiaoqing shouted in a low voice, as if she was acting coquettishly to Li Zhirui.

He glanced at Xiaoqing, shook his head and laughed, and said: "Go and play with those jade-billed eagles."

Before the words left his mouth, Xiao Qing disappeared. Li Zhirui shook his head helplessly. He didn't expect that Xiao Qing would still remember his group of younger brothers after not coming back for several years.

But now, he doesn't need Daqing's help to hold down the battle.

"Daqing, are you going to stay in the space, or come out to see Darong Island, which has almost changed its appearance?" Li Zhirui asked.

Today's Big Banyan Island no longer has tall banyan trees everywhere, but instead is planted with various spiritual fruit trees and spiritual wood trees.

Before Li Zhirui got close to the tribe, he noticed a faint spiritual energy in the air. This was also the reason why those low-level spiritual plants were able to survive.

Flat and wide bluestone avenues also appeared, and small paths extended from them, connecting the various mortal villages on the island. Mortal figures also appeared in places that were originally empty and sparse.

grumble!

Daqing wanted to slowly walk towards the tribe with Li Zhirui, so he naturally would not refuse.

Li Zhirui and Daqing met many mortals on the road. They looked at them with respect but not fear. There was even a child who ran up to him and wanted to sit on Daqing's back.

‘Is this the family’s intention to keep secular people and monks close to each other? ’ Li Zhirui secretly guessed in his heart.

The reason for doing this is nothing more than to enhance the sense of identity and belonging of the Li family among mortals with foreign surnames, especially children and monks with foreign surnames who have tested their spiritual roots.

Children are the most easily affected. Although they are still young and cannot exert much power now, in ten or twenty years, the benefits of the Li family's current move will be revealed.

Those monks with foreign surnames should want to deepen their connection and bond with Darong Island, and tie them to the Li family ship with family ties, friendship and other ties.
