Chapter 219 Foundation Building Tribulation Cultivation
Arowana Island.
Morning light Xiwei.
Zhong Hongyu walked out of the retreat room, stretched out comfortably towards the morning glow, and began to pick up a broom to sweep away the fallen leaves and dust.
In the fish farm, the old and white-haired Zhong Qi smiled and held a bucket of fish food to feed the sapphire carps.
In the Spiritual Medicine Valley, Xiahou Zun shouted to each spiritual farmer and began to work hard...
None of them noticed what happened last night.
It seems... that no robbery cultivators came to attack Dragon Fish Island at night.
In fact, this is exactly the case.
Due to the characteristics of the third-level formation, Fang Xi actually directly brought those tribulation cultivators into the demonic realm, and then allowed the internal chaos to be turned upside down without the outside world noticing at all.
This is the horror of the Forbidden Formation!
If Fang Xi hadn't wanted to use her hands and feet, she wouldn't have even shown up. She could have easily tricked this group of robbery cultivators to death just by relying on the power of the formation itself!
The forbidden area of Dragon Fish Island, under the demon tree.
Fang Xi bared her teeth and looked at the half-destroyed second-level puppets, and began to repair and replace the damaged parts...
"Sigh... I have only studied half of the Heavenly Wolf Roaring Moon Formation... Now even if I make the monsters stand like human pillars to cast spells, the backlash will be too strong..."
This is not a mobile formation, but a semi-mobile formation. The advantage is that it is easy to arrange, but the disadvantage is that the monsters must "stand still". Once moved, the formation is at risk of collapse...
"Also...the formation flag and formation plate are not strong enough...it is best to use third-level materials, otherwise they will be damaged after just a few uses...it is also best to replace the spiritual stones with high-grade ones...where can I find high-grade spiritual stones?
Go?"
"The Sirius Roaring Moon Formation created this time can barely calculate the level of the third level. Even if it will be scrapped after two or three uses, it is already very good..."
After finishing processing the previous batch of second-level puppets, Fang Xi looked at another batch of wooden puppets that had been standing next to them like walking zombies.
Each of these wooden puppets is missing arms and legs, and the two leaders are clearly at the early stage of foundation building!
It was the Jiexiu group that he captured last night!
Although all of them were missing arms and legs under the attack of the quasi-third-level Sirius, and their death was very horrific, but for the wooden puppets, these are not problems!
As for those who died too miserably and in pieces, Fang Xi directly used them as fertilizer and buried them under the demon tree.
He looked at the two foundation-level wooden puppets and suddenly pointed at one of them.
The expressionless middle-aged man stepped forward, made a hand gesture with his hands, and spit out a white bead from his mouth.
This bead is only the size of a dragon's eye. It is surrounded by a layer of dreamlike mist and is constantly emitting white light. It is obviously a rare treasure.
After Fang Xi took away the bead, the man's face squirmed, and he turned into a man with a beard and angry eyes, a powerful appearance, and he was very familiar with it.
"Li Lei?!"
He took a look and was not surprised. He just murmured to himself: "This Lingkong Island really has bad feng shui. It's Tianke's foundation... Yu Lingzi, the ancestor of the Yan family, now it's Li Lei's turn.
...It only takes a few years?”
"Next time if I see someone unhappy, I might as well give Lingkong Island to him... maybe it will have a miraculous effect, I don't know."
Fang Xi did not pick up the bead spit out by Li Lei with both hands. She directly scanned it with her consciousness and used her magic power to refine it. A piece of information emerged, which was the operating instructions for this treasure.
"Mirage bead? It is said that there is a genus of mirage dragon, which is best at manipulating mirage energy and creating illusions... Even monks can confuse it. This mirage bead is taken from a mirage shell that has been used for hundreds of years. After being sacrificed by monks, it can hide the appearance.
With my own magic aura?"
"To me, I have the Martial God Transformation and the Hundred Illusion Techniques, which seem to be repetitive."
"What's more, I have always acted openly and aboveboard, and I have no enemies!"
Fang Xi sighed and carefully collected the mirage beads and put them into the storage bag.
Susu!
The demon tree trembled, and air roots dropped down, lifting each puppet up.
Fang Xi sat cross-legged under the demon tree and began today's practice of 'immortality'.
The green energy of vegetation entered the demon tree tattoo on his back through the air roots, and went through purification procedures before flowing throughout his body.
"The last time we planted trees on Peach Blossom Island, Yimu Dharmakaya was affected by the instinct of the demon tree, and the progress was all in vain... This time we can truly appreciate the difficulty..."
"But I am neither sick nor slow, and my life is long anyway... I can continue to spend it."
Fang Xi looked inside and realized that the silver seal script representing the 'Yimu Dharmakaya' on her Aoki spirit body had been mostly completed, and she couldn't help but nod secretly.
"At this rate... we will be able to achieve the 'Yimu Dharmakaya' in about ten years at most!"
"Before that, maybe I will break through to the late stage of foundation building first..."
Moreover, during this training, he felt that the feedback from the demon tree was very strong.
After all, there is a middle-stage foundation-building and a few late-stage Qi refining, and the perfect monks will be used as fertilizer.
"It adds a lot of longevity..."
"I don't know how much feedback it will bring to me if Liu Sanqi, who seems to be pregnant with a plant-like spirit body, is buried?"
"But... they are not my enemy, so this is not good."
After a long time, Fang Xi stood up, feeling the vitality coming from her body, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
……
Evergreen Pavilion.
Fang Xi walked out of the forbidden area of the Demon Tree and found Zhong Hongyu.
"My lord, the island owner..."
Zhong Hongyu saluted with a guilty conscience, her calves were trembling, thinking that Fang Xi had discovered her whispering to Xia Houying, and she didn't know how to punish herself.
"How is your cultivation now? Are there any problems?"
"Although I don't know much about "Xuanyin Gong", I still have a foundation-building friend. Don't miss the opportunity. If you don't understand, I can write to you and ask..."
Fang Xi looked very kind and asked Zhong Hongyu many questions.
The Xuantian Clan has a great cause and may receive many disciples with special spiritual roots every year, but he is different.
It is rare to encounter an ethereal root, so it naturally needs to be studied carefully.
‘Actually, the level of the spiritual root is the most important. The lower-grade Five Elements Spiritual Roots are not as good as the lower-grade Foreign Spiritual Roots, but the lower-grade Foreign Spiritual Roots are not as good as the middle-grade Five Elements Spiritual Roots…’
Fang Xi asked a few questions, and after learning that Zhong Hongyu was quite successful in the 'Flash Sky Technique', she immediately became interested: "Give me a demonstration..."
"Yes!"
Zhong Hongyu came to the open space in front of Changqing Pavilion, made hand gestures, and muttered something.
The next moment, a layer of silvery white light enveloped her whole body.
Then, as if she was traveling through the void, her dashing figure disappeared and flashed ten meters away.
"Huh... This time I use the Sky Flash Technique, and I will consume 10% or 20% of my mana..."
Zhong Hongyu panted slightly, and there was some fragrant sweat on her forehead.
Even if the 'Flash Sky Technique' is practiced to the level of Dacheng, it can only flicker a hundred meters away at a time. A foundation-building monk can control the spiritual weapon and attack it in one go.
"Mana can be gradually accumulated... but after practicing this technique, it will be more than enough to protect yourself in the future."
Fang Xi was quite satisfied, so she asked Zhong Hongyu to step forward, stretched out her white wrist, and put two fingers on it.
A layer of foundation-building mana suddenly spread along Zhong Hongyu's meridians, followed by spiritual consciousness.
Zhong Hongyu turned red behind her ears.
After all, allowing the monks' magic power to detect such things is almost completely revealed, which is even more shameful than being naked.
If you are a casual cultivator who has grown up on your own, you will immediately fall out if you encounter this kind of intrusion into privacy.
However, Zhong Hongyu has been used to this by Fang Xi since she was a child...
Now I am just a little shy.
‘Sure enough... I still can’t understand it thoroughly!’
Fang Xi sighed in her heart, but her face softened a bit. She gave some instructions on Zhong Hongyu's cultivation, and even rewarded her with a 'Wooden Knife Talisman'.
When Zhong Hongyu bowed and left, he thought thoughtfully: "The monk's spirit body is very hidden, and it is difficult for outsiders to detect it... The same is true for the spiritual roots... Even if I input magic power like this and probe inch by inch, I still don't feel it.
How are women different from ordinary monks..."
But this is normal. If Konglinggen was really a treasure, Xuantian Sect would have come to ask for it long ago.
In fact, although alien spiritual roots such as ethereal roots and blood spiritual roots appear very rarely, the Xuantian Sect's soul-seeking envoys can always find them every once in a while.
Even if there is a lack of suitable skills, the path will not be as smooth as the Five Elements Spiritual Roots, Wind, Thunder and Ice and other strange spiritual roots.
Moreover, even the ancestor of Pill Formation did not study anything from these ethereal roots and blood spirit roots.
Over time, few people took it seriously.
After all, Fang Xi possesses the "Treasure Mirror of All Heavens" and is very interested in the power of the void, so she takes Zhong Hongyu to her side and supports her cultivation.
It's just that he couldn't understand the magic of the empty spirit root even though he watched it day and night.
Even in terms of what he gained, it was not as good as the insights he gained from comprehending the third-level formation of Shifting the Void!
"However, I am able to make smooth progress in the third-level formation, perhaps because I have studied the 'All Heavens Treasure Mirror' and the Sky Spiritual Root day and night..."
Although, Fang Xi herself didn’t know what she had comprehended.
But there is a vague feeling that when thinking about the third-order formation to move the restriction of the void, it seems to be easier than before, and it is easier to break through with a flash of inspiration.
"Now... Zhong Hongyu in the Qi refining stage seems to be of no use to me..."
"How about... support her foundation building? I'll watch from the side?"
"When a monk breaks through to a great realm, it is the time when his foundation is most likely to be exposed! If you can observe more carefully at that time, maybe you can gain something?"
Fang Xi touched her chin and thought to herself.
With his current net worth, it is not a huge burden to help a monk who is sixty years old to break through and build a foundation.
The worst-case scenario is to wait until his Qi refining is complete, and directly reward Zhong Hongyu with the 'Black Wind Evil Qi'.
After all, this woman has a middle-grade spiritual root. After obtaining a foundation-building spiritual object, she is still a little sure of breaking through to the foundation-building stage.
