When Chu Bai absorbed all the Earth Essence released from the towel, his continuously bulging Dantian finally broke, but then it formed again and broke again, over and over again.
The way he builds the foundation is different from any other monks. Other monks build the foundation by just stretching the Dantian to the size of a football, but his method is broken and reborn, and the cycle is repeated.
This is equivalent to him repeatedly building the foundation over and over again. Others have built the foundation once, but he has built it more than ten times.
With a "boom" sound, five days and five nights later, as the thin ice around Chu Bai's body cracked, he stood up suddenly. At this moment, the true energy all over his body turned into a white rainbow, flowing continuously.
The foundation building was finally successful. It took just over a month for him to come down the mountain. The foundation building threshold that had troubled him for several years was finally passed, and he was able to truly join the ranks of ascetics in one fell swoop.
Whether they are acquired or born, they are not cultivators. Although they are also called monks, in the eyes of true Taoist masters, they are just babies waiting to be fed. But once the foundation is established, it is equivalent to embarking on the superior path.
The way of heaven is the way beyond the cycle of life and death.
"Successful, finally successful. I thought it would take at least three years for me to successfully build the foundation, but I didn't expect it to be so soon!" Chu Bai clenched his fists with excitement. When he looked inside his dantian, he found that a layer appeared around his dantian.
The hazy light enveloped the entire Dantian, and because he successfully built the foundation with Earth Element Essence, the elixir light formed in his Dantian was blue, like a point of light.
Danguang is a point of light that will be formed in the Dantian when every foundation-building monk succeeds in building the foundation. And this point of light, countless years later, will also become the legendary golden elixir!
Of course, everyone has different creations and different experiences, so this elixir light is also different. Some foundation-building monks have practiced for a hundred years, and the elixir light is just light, and will not turn into substance, let alone gather liquid.
Dan light appears after foundation building, which is the early stage of foundation building.
When the elixir light turns into solid particles and changes into liquid golden water droplets, it is the middle stage of foundation building.
When the golden water droplets turn into liquid and fill the Dantian, it is the later stage of foundation building. At this point, a golden wall will appear in the Dantian, that is, a golden halo will surround the Dantian.
After the golden wall is formed, when the golden fluid inside begins to condense, it is a sign that the foundation is complete and ready to form elixirs.
Of course, some monks are unable to form elixirs in their lifetime, and even if they are able to form elixirs, they will be punished by heaven when the elixir calamity occurs. Five out of ten monks can survive the divine punishment, which is considered a blessing.
"The elixir light is blue. It is exactly as stated in the Five Elements Refining Technique!" Chu Bai smiled bitterly. It is recorded in the Five Elements Refining Technique that if the foundation building is successful with the water attribute, the elixir light will be
blue.
If it is metallic, the elixir is yellow, the earth attribute is black, the wood attribute is green, and the fire attribute is red!
The reason why Chu Bai smiled bitterly was not because the elixir light was blue. What he smiled bitterly was that he still needed to gather four more elixir lights, because those who practice the Five Elements Refining Art must form five-color elixirs.
This is no ordinary golden elixir!
"Five-color elixir!" Chu Bai's head felt heavy when he thought about it. After other monks entered the foundation building, they focused on turning the elixir light into substance and gathering it into gold liquid. However, he had to gather the five-color light first before he could proceed to the next step.
That is to say, we are entering the middle stage of foundation building!
"Chu Bai, what magical power are you practicing?" Suddenly, Yang Zhen's voice came to Chu Bai's mind.
"The Five Elements Refining Technique is a secret technique that has never been practiced by anyone else. It is a secret that is not taught by my Tianji Sect!" Chu Bai did not hide it. Yang Zhen was the one with the right temperament, and he only asked what the magical power was, but did not ask.
The oral judgment of magical powers.
"Five Elements Divine Refining Technique? It sounds very overbearing, but it is so difficult for you to build the foundation. I am afraid it will be even more difficult to form an elixir. I also have a magical power that I have practiced here, called the 'Guiding Star Technique'. This technique is my
It is obtained from an ancient cave and is of a very high level. Your practice of this technique will not affect your practice of the Five Elements Refining Technique, because the Star Guiding Technique is for self-cultivation!"
"Cultivation of the body?" Chu Bai was surprised. This was the first time he had heard of magical powers for cultivating the body. You must know that when monks cultivate elixirs, build babies, refine gods, and finally emerge from the body and ascend, their physical bodies have to be thrown away.
, so monks mostly don’t exercise when they practice.
In Buddhist terms, the human body is a piece of stinky skin, and when it reaches a certain level, it must be thrown away. Therefore, usually, the physical body of a monk is very fragile.
What's more, when one reaches the level of Nascent Soul, one can have flesh and bones, and even if one's arms are cut off, they can still grow back. Therefore, when monks pursue the path to immortality, they don't care about the physical body.
Of course, this does not mean that the body of a monk is weak. Every monk will use Qi, spells, protective gear or elixirs to protect his body. Therefore, under normal circumstances, monks with advanced cultivation
, cannonballs can’t kill either.
Even if you are a foundation-building monk, as long as you use your true energy to protect your body, bullets will not be able to penetrate.
"Yes, it is for cultivating the body!" Yang Zhen's voice sounded again: "Don't think that the physical body of a cultivator is useless, and don't think that the physical body cannot ascend. The ancient gods and demons, all of them are not the same as the physical body."
"The reason why I used my Nascent Soul cultivation level to kill people at higher levels was because the Qing Ming Sword was only an aid. It mainly relied on my physical body."
"But the physical body can be recorded with talismans, with true energy, and protected with armor, so what's the use of training?" Chu Bai wondered.
"Ignorance!" Yang Zhen snorted coldly: "The physical body is so powerful that you can't imagine it. Can your true energy smash a mountain? Can your armor and your talismans break the formation?"
"Breaking the formation?" Chu Bai became confused again.
"Yes, the physical body is powerful enough to run rampant. When the seven major sects surrounded me, do you think they didn't set up a formation? But just because my physical body can ignore the attack of the formation and escape smoothly, and also, the powerful
The physical body can also resist the natural disaster. Even if your physical body cannot ascend in the end, using your physical body to resist the natural disaster is an excellent guarantee!"
"Understood!" Chu Bai took a deep breath, and practicing the physical body was indeed beneficial and harmless. Although he had never heard of anyone practicing physical training in the Chinese monastic world, it was a fact that Yang Zhen was powerful, so Chu Bai
After hearing this, I was immediately moved. Since I don't want to delay my practice of the Five Elements Refining Technique, why not do it on both sides, cultivating both the spirit and the body?
"Well, there's no rush for the star-guiding technique. You should first refine the Qingming into your body. Although you can't use this Qingming to exert its true power, you can still barely get it into your body."
"Can it be absorbed into the body? I just built the foundation! How is it possible?" Chu Bai was surprised again. It was Yang Zhen's words that really frightened him.
Yang Zhen chuckled: "Nothing is impossible. Don't forget that you already have spiritual consciousness before you build the foundation. As far as I know, ordinary monks may not have spiritual consciousness even if they complete the foundation building."
, but you have it, so you can receive the spiritual treasure into your body if you have spiritual consciousness."
"Then how should I operate? Chu Bai's heart was pounding at this time, and the spirit treasure entered his body. This is something that only Jindan monks can do, but Yang Zhen told him that he can take Qing Ming into his body right now.
My body, this is like pie in the sky, good things happen one after another, my own destiny comes, and my luck comes.
"Cut the artery on your wrist, inject your consciousness into the blood essence that flows out, raise the sword, and I will help you successfully refine it!"
"Okay." Chu Bai did not hesitate, and immediately cut the artery on his wrist with the Qingming Sword, and then the blood spurted out like water. At the same time, he closed his eyes, put the Qingming Sword into the blood, and concentrated it.
Spirit, combining consciousness and blood into one.
After Qing Ming Sword encountered his blood, it seemed as if it opened its mouth wide. The blood he spurted out quickly was actually absorbed by Qing Ming Sword.
A minute passed, and there was no movement from Qing Ming Sword.
Five minutes passed, but Qing Mingjian still hadn't moved. At this time, Chu Bai's face had turned pale. If he cut his wrist artery, wouldn't that be suicide by bleeding?
But in order to receive the spiritual treasure into his body, he had to do this.
After ten minutes passed, Chu Bai's body began to shake, and his blood was almost gone.
"Senior." Finally, Chu Bai couldn't bear it anymore. At this time, he had some doubts about whether Yang Zhen was lying to him, and his purpose was to watch him commit suicide!
"Keep on, you can't die." Yang Zhen joked: "Go back and ask your sister Pingping to make you some tortoise soup and black chicken soup to make up for it. Keep concentrating, that's almost it!"
Chu Bai opened his mouth, gritted his teeth, and continued to release his consciousness.
When the time reached the eighteenth minute, suddenly, Chu Bai had a strange feeling in his heart. He felt that part of his body seemed to be wandering outside. He felt that the Qingming Lingbao was beating rhythmically, and it was in harmony with the rhythmic beat of the Qingming Lingbao.
Beating like my own heartbeat.
At this moment, the blood on his wrist miraculously stopped flowing and gradually solidified.
With a "buzz" sound, Chu Bai's soul was shaken, and he suddenly felt a flesh-and-blood connection with Qing Ming Sword.
That's right, it's flesh and blood, it seems like your soul has merged with it, and you feel like it's waiting for you to call.
"Put it away!" Subconsciously, Chu Bai opened his eyes and shouted "Put it away". The Qing Ming Sword flew up from the ground, turned into blue light and penetrated into his heavenly spirit, then flashed in his Dantian.
"It's done!" Chu Bai stood up in surprise, his body trembling with excitement and said: "Senior, it's done, it's done!"
"I'm so tired and need to rest. You also need to continue to cultivate Qingming and try to control it. Don't call me for a month. I need to recover. My soul is getting weaker and weaker." Yang Zhen said
After that, the voice disappeared. He was just a ray of remaining soul, so helping Chu Bai, a little foundation-building monk, to sacrifice a handful of spiritual treasures cost him a lot, and the soul was on the verge of collapse.
So I need to rest.
Chu Bai did not say anything, but with a thought, he took out the Qingming Sword, and then bowed deeply to the Qingming Sword to show his respect for Yang Zhen.
"Turn!" After standing up, Chu Bai shouted softly, and the Qing Ming Sword above his head started to spin in a circle.
"Down, up. Get out." Chu Bai was trying to control it, wanting to master it as quickly as possible.
