Chapter 62: Preparations for Foundation Establishment
"Three to five years!" Uncle Xu sighed and said, "In fact, I have felt that I have been unable to do what I have done in the past two years, and the absorption of spiritual energy is not very smooth. All functions of the body are rapidly deteriorating. Three to five years is too much.
That’s what you said!”
Jiang Dong didn't know what to say. He lowered his head and looked at the wine glass in his hand. The old man in front of him was his mentor and the person who helped him the most. Without him, Jiang Dong would still be limping like that.
, maybe even hacked to death by Ding Hao and Ding Hui, let alone refining Qi and building a foundation!
But his cultivation had just achieved some results, and when he was about to step into the threshold of cultivation, this old man had to leave. Jiang Dong really couldn't bear to stay with him for so long! Uncle Xu was also a teacher, a friend and a father to him.
His mentor was also a good friend, and he was a bit like an elder in his family. This complicated emotion made Jiang Dong's eyes become moist.
Jiang Dongzhong picked up the wine glass and pointed it at Uncle Xu without saying a word. After touching it, he raised his head and drank it all, using the wine to suppress the sad emotions in his heart.
Uncle Xu also drank a glass of wine and chuckled: "Don't talk about anything else, let's talk about you! I found that the effect of this spiritual lotus is not only to break through the bottleneck, but also to refine the foundation building pill!
"
Upon hearing the Foundation Establishment Pill, Jiang Dong raised his head again, and a glimmer of light seemed to flash in his moist eyes.
Xu Bo continued: "In fact, spiritual herbs that have been cultivated for more than a thousand years have the effect of improving one's cultivation. This spiritual herb has probably been cultivated for more than two thousand years! In addition, it has the effect of helping to achieve breakthroughs, so it is even more rare.
It’s a great foundation-building medicine!”
Jiang Dong asked: "Is it possible to use spiritual lotus to refine the Foundation Building Pill?"
"It's definitely possible! But..." Uncle Xu frowned at this point, and then said: "But in addition to the aid of elixirs, this foundation building also requires a large supply of spiritual energy, both of which are indispensable.
! It’s a pity that the spiritual energy here is only enough for you to use during the Qi refining period. If you use it to break through the barrier and build the foundation, I’m afraid it’s far from enough! And the weather is about to turn cold, so this spiritual energy will be even less!”
Jiang Dong thought about it and felt that it was the case. The Foundation Establishment Pill was found, but where to find this large amount of spiritual energy? After thinking about it, Jiang **ran saw the military kettle hanging on the wall, and suddenly felt ecstatic in his heart.
Isn’t there also a pot of spiritual liquid? A small sip of this concentrated spiritual liquid is enough to fill me up with energy. Wouldn’t it be just right to use it to build the foundation?
Then he smiled at Uncle Xu and said, "Okay! Don't worry about it anymore. You can refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, and I will be responsible for the spiritual energy!"
"Are you responsible? What are you responsible for?" Uncle Xu couldn't help but sneered, "I've searched all over Shennongjia a long time ago, and only this place has the densest spiritual energy! Do you want to search all over China?"
"Anyway, just leave it alone, I have a clever plan!" Jiang Dong smiled mysteriously and gave Uncle Xu a pass.
"Okay, okay! It's up to you! I'm only responsible for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill for you, the rest depends on your own destiny!" Uncle Xu picked up the wine glass again.
The next day, the two officially began preparations to build the foundation for the Jiangdong attack.
After a year of catalysis, the spiritual herbs in the front yard were ripe and ready to fall. Jiang Dong picked them all, dried them and crushed them. Xu Bo took out all the good medicines and herbs he had collected for many years and selected the ones he needed.
Make elixirs for Jiangdong.
There are many herbs in the recipe for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, some are for forging the body with bacon, some are for improving the soul, and some are for improving the cultivation level. Not all of these herbs must be strictly added, and other herbs with the same effect can also be used.
Instead, this saves Uncle Xu a lot of trouble, because many spiritual herbs have become extinct for thousands of years, and even if you search all over China, you may not find one.
The refining of the Foundation Establishment Pill was a big job. The two of them worked hard for a month to prepare all the required herbs, and finally added all the dried spirit lotus. All the herbs together were enough.
It weighs five or six kilograms, and it actually fills a wooden barrel! Jiang Dong couldn't help but wonder, how long will it take to eat so many herbs?
Uncle Xu had regained his energy and stored up his true energy. He took the alchemy cauldron and began to refine the foundation-building elixir.
As usual, Uncle Xu stretched out his hand and popped a fireball into the cauldron, and then slowly added herbs into it. After the herbs were thrown in, they first emitted a puff of black smoke and then slowly melted into juice, and then the volume was reduced a lot.
, presumably some of the impurities were burned and volatilized.
An hour had passed since the previous herbs had completely melted. Uncle Xu calmly added some infuriating energy to keep the fire burning, and then sprinkled in a handful of herbal powders.
In this way, the herbs were slowly added. Jiang Dong and Xu Bo took turns adding Qi to the alchemy until all the herbs were added three days later. Xu Bo added the last fire, and then started to remove the concoction with his own consciousness.
As the impurities are picked out bit by bit, the volume of the herbs in the tripod is slowly reduced and shaped, and finally it becomes a dark brown pill the size of a walnut.
When the real fire faded, Uncle Xu poured the prepared Foundation Establishment Pill onto a plate on the table. Jiang Dong quickly came over to take a look.
The Foundation Establishment Pill is round and lying quietly on the plate. It seems to be enveloped in a circle of faint brilliance, emitting a hazy light. Upon closer inspection, there seems to be a stream of colorful light lingering on the surface of the pill, which is like an elixir.
!
Uncle Xu wiped the sweat from his forehead, exhaled and said: "This foundation-building pill has inherited the spirituality and medicinal properties of Linghe, and it can even emit the same colorful light as Linghe. It seems that I have succeeded in refining the pill this time!
"
Jiang Dong held the Foundation Building Pill in his hand and asked Uncle Xu: "Can this bead really help me build the Foundation?"
"Since ancient times, there are no absolute things! It doesn't matter what is right or wrong, what is right or wrong, it is all human-made differences that cause different results! Although the effect of this foundation-building pill is extraordinary, you should not rely too much on it. Everything is different.
You have to rely on yourself! After all, although this elixir is good, it will still be in vain if you don’t have a true destiny!" Xu Bo said with profound meaning.
Jiang Dong nodded and said "Huh", not sure if he understood what Uncle Xu said.
Uncle Xu got off the bed, straightened his back, and laughed at Jiangdong: "I wonder if we can still catch rabbits in the mountains now?"
Jiang Dong was also happy: "I knew you had to say this, I had prepared it for you a long time ago!" He thought to himself, this old man really likes to eat, and he will never forget it after eating it once!
After eating and drinking, Jiangdong was ready to enter the cave and start retreating to build the foundation.
Before leaving, Uncle Xu told Jiang Dong some precautions. When he said this, there was a faint flash of strange light in his eyes. Jiang Dong thought that Uncle Xu valued his retreat very much, so he said more.
Some, why don't I take it seriously! After all, foundation building is the end of Jiang Dong's hard training in the past two years. After this time, Jiang Dong has no intention of continuing to rush to the golden elixir stage. After all, it is too far away for him.
Putting the kettle on his back and picking up the newly refined Foundation Establishment Pill, Jiang Dong resolutely walked towards the cave where he was going to retreat. When he reached the entrance of the cave, Jiang Dong looked back and found Uncle Xu standing in front of the door in a daze.
Looking at himself, he looked like an old man saying goodbye to his son who was about to go away. His expression was full of love and reluctance! This sight made Jiang Dong's nose sore, and he felt that Uncle Xu had become much older in an instant.
Same.
Entering the cave with Uncle Xu's expectations, Jiang Dong grabbed a few stones to block the entrance of the cave, sat cross-legged on the stone pier, and held the Foundation Establishment Pill in his mouth, then closed his eyes and released his consciousness, immersed in it.
In another world!
As he sat there, his consciousness suddenly felt a wave of radio waves coming in. Jiang Dong felt that it must be Xu Bozhi who was worried and came to inquire about it. He couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart: This old man! You want to see how I absorb the spiritual energy, but I just didn't.
I don’t want you to know, I’ll drink the spiritual liquid after you leave! Just go ahead and scratch your head and speculate!
The heavy snow outside covers the mountains and plains. After the sun comes out, it silently melts into water, gathering into small streams, irrigating the vast land, and finally converging into a big river, rushing eastward!
Jiang Dongduan sat in the dark cave, silently filling his meridians with zhenqi, and finally gathered it into the sea of qi to store it, and then mobilized it to continue circulating, carrying out monotonous actions over and over again. Hungry,
Just take a Bigu Pill; when your vitality is gone, take a sip of the spiritual liquid; when you feel tired, think about He Ye.
One month has passed, two months have passed, three months have passed...
The snow fell and melted, melted and fell again...
Slowly, the grass emerged from the fertile soil and looked at the colorful world again. The chirping of birds came from the branches again, and the fish in the water spit bubbles again, mysteriously.
After a winter of silence, the mountains have regained their former splendid appearance, and everything looks so full of life!
This peaceful scene seems to indicate something...
By the river, a pretty figure sat on the bank, watching the flowing river quietly, as if she wanted to let her thoughts flow away with the river!
Jiangdong has been away for more than a year without any news, which makes He Ye miss him more and more, and he becomes listless every day.
"Woof woof!" A big dog with a slight green light all over its body ran over from a distance, plunged into the figure's arms, and rolled around in a coquettish way!
"Oh! Stop making such a fuss, I've got other things on my mind!"
The big dog suddenly lost its excitement, as if its master's sadness had infected its mood, and lay silently beside it.
"I wonder how Brother Dong is doing now? There has been no news from him for a year."
"Ouch!" The big dog raised its head and barked, as if responding to its mistress.
