Chapter 123, Foundation Establishment and Evil Exorcism
"It's just a fluke!" Lu Nan didn't intend to hide it. This location was several kilometers away from the Foreign Affairs Office's residence. Li Ming could sense it, and he was very sure that he was in the Foundation Establishment Realm. There must be something there that he couldn't hide.
If you hide it any more, you will treat the other party as a fool.
The two fell into the Foreign Affairs Office.
It didn't alert anyone else.
Lu Nan asked doubtfully: "I wonder how senior knew that I was a foundation-building monk?"
Li Ming explained: "Your aura has not been restrained. It is as strong as the sun in my spiritual consciousness. I wonder who from the Foundation Establishment Realm is looking for trouble!"
Listening to his explanation, Lu Nan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Li Ming smiled and said: "However, fellow Taoist has just advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm, so it is normal for him to be unable to contain his aura. After a while, this overflowing aura will naturally dissipate!"
Next, Lu Nan asked Li Ming many things related to foundation building. Li Ming didn't hide anything, which was completely different from his cold demeanor the last time they met.
"Fellow Daoist Lu is now building the foundation. I don't know what his plans are. Should he continue to stay at the Foreign Affairs Office or enter the mountain gate?" Li Ming said suddenly.
"What's the difference between the two?"
"Of course there is! If you stay in the Foreign Affairs Department, you only need to follow the agreement in the later stage of Qi Refining! If you enter the mountain gate, it will be different!"
"Senior, please elaborate!"
Li Ming smiled and said: "Forget it, I'll tell you and you can decide for yourself! I won't talk about the former situation, you have the confidence in your heart, but in the latter situation, you need to renegotiate, and then you can get the guest.
With your identity, the foundation-building level spells collected by Iron Sword Sect will also be open to you, as well as benefits, including 500 mid-grade spiritual stones per month. In addition, there are many hidden benefits!
"
"You can't get foundation building spells without becoming a guest?"
"no way!"
"Then do you still have a choice?"
Lu Nan smiled bitterly.
Li Ming laughed and said: "At first, I was just like you. I was helpless when I heard these two choices, but later I found that they were actually good. After becoming a guest guest, there are people below to help with many things. We just
Just stay in one place if you need to!”
As he spoke, he took out a transmission note and activated it.
"Guangming, come here!"
"Foundation building is not a trivial matter. After the procedures here are completed, a foundation building banquet will be held at the mountain gate! By then, Fellow Daoist Lu will be in great glory!"
"Foundation Building Banquet?" Lu Nan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable when he thought about how he was being watched by countless people. At this moment, he didn't want to stand out at all. "Can it be canceled? It's so hard to hold a banquet!"
No, Li Ming shook his head and said, "This is an inevitable procedure, unless you don't want to be a guest!"
He sighed: "If you want to get the benefits of the sect, you must pay some price! Nowadays, other sects are eyeing the door, and the sect needs to continuously enhance its deterrence, and Taoist friend, a newly promoted foundation-building realm, is the most suitable one.
Great help!"
"Okay! Just can it be a little later? I have some things to deal with!"
"There's nothing wrong with this, as long as it doesn't take too long!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Guang Ming hurried over and was about to pay his respects. The next moment, a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes.
This fellow Daoist Lu is actually sitting together with Senior Li?
"Guang Ming, Fellow Daoist Lu will go with me to the mountain gate. You can take someone to handle the procedures here!"
"Okay!" Guang Ming said subconsciously, and was about to retreat when he suddenly woke up.
Fellow?
He quickly asked: "Senior, how should I handle the procedures for this fellow Taoist?"
"Fellow Daoist Lu will hold a foundation banquet in the near future. If you are still working in the Foreign Affairs Office, it will be unreasonable! So, you go and sort out Daoist Lu's information. Someone from the mountain gate will come to get the information.
!”
Foundation banquet?
Guangming was stunned for a moment.
······
That night.
The lantern outside the Duobao Talisman shop swayed gently.
Lu Nan walked to the back door of Fu shop.
"Bang bang bang!"
"who?"
"it's me!"
Eee!
In an instant, the door inside opened, and Han Ping hurriedly stepped out with a hint of excitement on her face.
"You're back? Come in quickly!"
Lu Nan went in and sat for a while, while Han Ping was busy making tea. Seeing this, Lu Nan said: "Don't bother me, I'll come over and tell you that I have something to go out later!"
"What's up?"
"I want to go to the mountain gate with a guest from Iron Sword Gate, and I will come to see you after the matter is finished!" Lu Nan stood up and said.
Mountain gate? Guest guest?
Han Ping suddenly opened her mouth wide and looked at him in disbelief, "You - established the foundation?"
Lu Nan smiled and said: "Yes! The foundation has been established!"
Han Ping suddenly seemed to have lost all strength and sat on the chair.
"What's wrong?" Lu Nan quickly went over to help her.
She grabbed Lu Nan's clothes and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm so excited. I didn't expect that one day I would be so close to a Foundation Establishment monk!"
Lu Nan smiled helplessly and said: "Don't take it too seriously, just get used to it. In fact, the Foundation Establishment Realm is nothing special. It's just one head, two eyes, one nose, and two ears!"
Han Ping said: "But it can live for three hundred years!"
"Nonsense, I can live for two hundred years now! Besides, if I say I can live for two hundred, how many people can reach this age? Maybe one day someone will give me -"
Lu Nan realized that it was a bit bad to say this to him, so he said, "No more talking, where is that girl Li Yu?"
"She went back two months ago!"
Lu Nan nodded.
It took him nearly half a year to build the foundation. It was normal for Li Yu not to wait that long. Fortunately, he also had the addresses of Li Yuan and the others. He would just go there when the matter was finished.
After coming out of the Duobao Talisman Shop, Lu Nan returned to the Foreign Affairs Office, and soon flew to Iron Sword Mountain with Li Ming's sword. At the speed of the two of them, they arrived in front of the mountain gate in a short time.
Li Ming had already communicated with this place through the transmission notes, so as soon as he arrived at the mountain gate, several streams of light flew out.
"Friend Daoist Li!"
"Is this fellow Taoist Lu? What a talented person!"
"To successfully build the foundation at such a young age, I'm afraid we will have to rely on fellow Taoists in the future!"
"No, seniors, you are so humble. It was just a fluke that I built the foundation!"
Several monks are major cultivators at the foundation level and are considered the backbone of Iron Sword Mountain.
During the conversation, Lu Nan also roughly knew the names of several people.
Everyone was talking and laughing, and the two disciples guarding the mountain were frightened.
"A new foundation-building monk?"
"It seems that he is not the few people we know. Where did this person come from? He could actually be promoted to Foundation Establishment!"
There was envy and disbelief in their eyes.
The Iron Sword Sect has evaluated the late stages of Qi refining within its jurisdiction. Among them, the ones with the highest evaluations are all in the sect, but even they have not established a foundation. Now, a casual cultivator who doesn't know where he came from is actually one step ahead.
How could you not be surprised when you were ahead of so many disciples?
······
Everyone walked up the stairs of the mountain gate. The scenery all around was beautiful. From time to time, there were some spirit beasts traveling at the foot of the mountain, but they were all less aggressive spirit beasts, such as rabbits, deer, cranes, etc.
Standing here, Lu Nan could feel a strong spiritual power permeating the air, and even the pores all over his body relaxed a bit.
It is said that the gate of Iron Sword Gate is located on a spiritual vein. The energy of the spiritual vein can not only cultivate various spiritual objects, but also make the monks' practice faster.
"For an ordinary monk to practice here for a month, I'm afraid he can save several Qi Gathering Pills!"
I was secretly speechless.
No wonder, many people yearn for this place.
Looking around, you can sometimes see some buildings in the rugged foothills, which look like the residence of a certain disciple.
Although everyone walked slowly, their speed was not slow at all, and they arrived at the management office in a short time.
Monk Chen Ming walked inside, and after just a cup of tea, he came out with a jade identity card.
"First arrange a place for fellow Taoists to stay!"
"Let's go! I'll wait for you!"
Several other people laughed.
Do these people have nothing to do?
Lu Nan was speechless, but did not refuse.
During the chat, I learned that there are still a few people in the Foundation Establishment realm in the mountain gate, but they are still cultivating. Otherwise, they would have come out to greet them.
The residence is halfway up the mountain. There is an irregular platform there, about the size of four or five acres of land, with a courtyard built on it, which has a somewhat refined and elegant feel.
"What do fellow Taoists think of this place? If you don't like it, you can still choose!"
"Okay, good!"
"That's good! Let's go in and take a look!" Chen Ming enthusiastically pulled Lu Nan into the yard.
Medicine garden, training room, function room, guest room, school grounds, etc. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the five internal organs.
Both sides of the corridor are planted with plants that can soothe the mind and refresh the mind.
Everyone watched for a while and then left one after another.
Lu Nan glanced around, at the quiet foothills, shrouded in spiritual energy, and faint clouds and mist floating on the mountainside.
"It is indeed a place of spiritual veins!"
This is life!
Even breathing is spiritual energy, in other words, it is money!
······
Early the next morning, not long after Lu Nan got up, she saw a stream of light flying from a distance and landing in front of the courtyard gate.
"Senior Lu, is he here?"
Lu Nan walked out and saw a middle-aged monk waiting with a jade plate in his hands.
"What's the matter, fellow Taoist?"
"Don't take it seriously, don't take it!" The middle-aged monk was a little frightened and said quickly, "This is the guest ration from senior, please check it!"
Lu Nan nodded and opened the black cloth covering the jade plate. Inside was a folded gray robe and a storage bag next to it.
Picking up the robe and checking it, I was slightly surprised.
Is this the work of the sect?
There are five spells in the robe, the minor cleansing spell, the minor lightness spell, the minor wind control spell, the minor golden armor spell and the minor fire protection spell.
The latter two spells are both top-grade spells, so this robe can barely be called a top-grade one.
After the storage bag is processed, it can be refined in an instant.
There is only 1 square meter of space, and there is a small pile of middle-grade spiritual stones placed inside, which is a total of five hundred yuan. Counting the value of the storage bag, Iron Sword Sect has given away a medium-grade spiritual stone worth more than 100 yuan.
A small top-grade robe and 650 medium-grade spiritual stones.
After the verification was completed, the middle-aged monk Yu Jian left.
Lu Nan turned around and went back to have breakfast, then left in the air. Not long after, he arrived at the Treasure Pavilion in the mountain gate.
This Zhenbao Pavilion is different from the Zhenbao Pavilion in the Foreign Affairs Office. It is specifically designed to serve the disciples of the Iron Sword Sect. If outsiders want to enter this place, there are only two ways. One is to become an official disciple of the Iron Sword Sect, and the other is to become a guest minister.
After identifying himself, Lu Nan got the jade book.
The spells in the first ten pages were no different from those in the Foreign Affairs Office. It was not until the last page or two that he saw what he was looking for.
Foundation-building spells and exercises.
Qingfeng Kung (Part 1 of Foundation Building);
Immortality Kung Fu (Part 1 of Foundation Building);
Five Poison Skills (Part 1 of Foundation Building);
Sanyuan Gong (Part 1 of Foundation Building);
Forgetting Fire Technique (Part 1 of Foundation Building);
There are a total of five exercises to choose from.
but--
Lu Nan directly passed the three skills behind him.
The Five Poison Techniques and the Three Yuan Techniques should be the techniques practiced by the Sanyuan Sect and the Chilian Sect. As for the Forgetting Fire Technique, he didn’t know much about it, but there was an explanation at the back of this method that the techniques were incomplete. After purchasing the novella, he would not be able to
Then get the second part of the skills from the Iron Sword Sect.
This is undoubtedly very fatal.
Five Poison Techniques, Three Yuan Techniques, and Forgetting Fire Techniques have obvious characteristics and have attribute bonuses. For example, after practicing Five Poison Techniques, the power of poison spells will be stronger.
For monks who pursue spell strength, it is very attractive. However, for Lunan, the shortcomings are not small.
While these techniques amplify the power of a certain type of spell, they will also repel other spells.
For example, if you practice the Forgetting Fire Skill, some water spells, the power will be reduced to a certain extent.
It wasn't obvious when you were in the Qi Refining Realm, but when you reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, you can't ignore it.
Therefore, these three techniques cannot be used.
Even if you can switch to other spells after building the foundation, it won't work.
As for the Immortality Kung Fu, it's pretty good. Unfortunately, Lu Nan thinks it's better to just stick to it.
Qingfeng Gong cannot compare with the longevity skill in terms of increase in lifespan, but it is not bad. The most important thing is that with the foundation of Qingfeng Gong in the Qi Refining Realm, when practicing the Foundation Building Chapter, it will inevitably be faster.
Besides, no matter what, it still takes a lot of energy to change courses.
Lunan, who owns a panel, knows the advantages and disadvantages of this.
As for magic——
The first-level low-grade spell: Cloud and Rain, selling price: 500 mid-grade spiritual stones.
There are more than ten kinds of first-level spells. The cheapest Cloud and Rain technique only requires 500 medium-grade spiritual stones, while the most expensive sword-cutting technique costs 15,000.
The difference is not huge.
Lu Nan wondered whether the owner of the Iron Sword Sect filled in the price casually.
Of course, for any Foundation Establishment monk, this price is actually not expensive, and you can buy it with a little effort.
"Just these two!" Lu Nan said to the steward.
"Part 1 of Qingfeng Kung Foundation Building, there is also a magic to ward off evil!" The steward of Zhenbao Pavilion registered it, then turned and left.
Not long after, Lu Nan had two more jade slips in his hand.
