Chapter 1: Foundation building failed, crossing two realms
The wind is strong and the sky is high, and the autumn mood is depressing.
Over Tanyuan Immortal City, a whirlpool of spiritual energy swayed for a few times and suddenly collapsed.
The monks looking up in the fairy city couldn't help but sigh in unison: "Alas..."
In the main hall of the fairy city, a Taoist wearing a Tai Chi crown shook his head: "Another Taoist You have failed in building the foundation. The path of cultivation is full of misfortune!”
Another Taoist wearing a lotus crown also had a look of regret: "It's a shame that Taoist friend Li has been fighting for decades to achieve today's achievements, but in the end it was all in vain."
He then ordered the maid next to him: "Still as usual, The cave will be opened again after half a month. If Fellow Daoist Li has passed away, the remains will be returned to his clan members. "
"Yes!" the maid responded.

In a cave in Tanyuan Immortal City rented exclusively for foreign monks.
"Pfft -" Li Qing spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his originally rosy face turned pale.
He hurriedly took out a bottle of pills from his storage bag, poured out three pills and swallowed them into his stomach. After adjusting his luck, he finally regained his breath.
"Cultivation is more difficult than reaching the blue sky!" Li Qing took a deep breath, "The middle-grade spiritual root foundation is still too hard after all."
He looked complicated. Looking at a porcelain bottle on the ground: "Fortunately, I secretly bought this foundation-building pill before. Otherwise, I might have died."
Li Qing is a time traveler who was born more than fifty years ago. Traveling into this world, he was born into a small practicing family, the Li family of Qinghe Valley. At the age of five, he was diagnosed with a medium-grade spiritual root and embarked on the path of spiritual practice.
In this world, everyone has spiritual roots, and the evaluation of qualifications is not based on the number of attributes, but on the quality of the spiritual roots.
Li Qing has a middle-grade wood spirit root, supplemented by a lower-grade fire spirit root, and other spiritual roots are ignored. Born in a small family like the Li family, it is considered good to be able to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi refining when one's life span is about to expire.
Fortunately, Li Qing is determined, has good understanding, and has a deep understanding of the practice methods, which makes up for the slight gap in practice speed.
In addition, he has considerable talents in spiritual cultivation and alchemy. With the support of the family, in just over 20 years, both skills reached the first level, and gained a lot of practice resources.
The combination of various factors allowed Li Qing to reach the peak of Qi refining before the end of Jiazi's life span, and he had the capital to build a foundation.
It's a pity that even if he secretly planned and spent all his wealth to buy a low-quality foundation-building pill, he was ultimately hampered by his spiritual root qualifications and failed to successfully build the foundation.
Fortunately, with the protection of the Foundation Establishment Pill, he still managed to save his life and his cultivation at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Unlike those monks who build the foundation on their own, they will die if they fail.
"Youyou Cangtian, how can you be inferior to me!" Li Qing felt the mana flowing wildly in his Dantian and the broken and broken meridians. He sighed and started practicing the "Qingmu Jue".
Foundation building requires second-level spiritual veins, which are not available in Qinghe Valley. Li Qing can only rent them from Tanyuan Immortal City.
There was still half a month left before the lease expired. He did not want to waste the spiritual stones he had paid, so he decided to simply retreat and adjust his breath.
"Hey, what is this?" Li Qing suddenly became surprised.
At this moment, in his Dantian, a vague microcosm of the portal appeared, and it was shining brightly and darkly.
Li Qing tentatively touched it lightly with his spiritual consciousness. The next moment, Li Qing was no longer in the retreating cave.

Li Qing was shocked by the sudden feeling of weightlessness. He quickly made a finger gesture and used the feather falling technique.
A breeze lifted him up and slowly floated down. He suppressed his emotions, looked around, and found that the sea and sky were vast around him, and he was falling towards a small island.
What frightened him the most was that the spiritual energy around him was gloomy and difficult to mobilize, and he could only rely on his own cultivation to cast spells.
He quickly changed his spell to wind control and landed quickly. After a while, he landed on the small island.
When he was in the air before, he had observed the situation of the island.
The island is medium in size, about the size of a county town in the previous life. There are two villages to the southeast, and hills and jungles to the northwest.
Although the place where he landed was in the jungle, it was not far from the smaller village. It was approaching dusk, and smoke was already rising over there.
Li Qing stood still holding a tree, silently sensing his Dantian, and found that the door-shaped shadow was still glowing.
Obviously, he learned that this was a fragment of the innate spiritual treasure "Gate of Heavenly Dimensions" that was scattered throughout the world after it was broken. It had been sleeping in his Dantian until now.
It was not until he built the foundation today and activated a huge amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth that he activated it and anchored the world where he is now.
What worries Li Qing is that it will take half a month before the door can be activated again.
“I hope Tanyuan Immortal City will abide by the rules and don’t look at my failure in building the foundation. Just open my cave halfway.”
Li Qing breathed a long sigh of relief and turned his gaze to the place in the distance. A small village: "I wonder if this world can add some help to my practice."
Considering that this world also has spiritual energy, and without knowing the details for the time being, Li Qing did not approach rashly. : "Let's recover from the injury first."
In order to buy Foundation Establishment Pills and rent the Spiritual Vein Cave, he had given away almost all his wealth. At this moment, except for the pill furnace, energy-boosting and healing pills beside him, , not even the talisman formation that covered his figure was left.
As a last resort, he walked some distance deep into the jungle, found a hole in a big tree and hid in it. With a flick of his hand, he drove away the snakes, insects, rats and ants, and then silently used the magic power in his body to repair the damaged Dantian and meridians.
What surprised him was that underneath the door-shaped shadow, there was actually a pool of green spiritual fluid, which was contracting and relaxing as if it was breathing.
"Is this... true essence?" Li Qing hesitated and sensed it for a while, and finally confirmed, "This is really great!"
You know, promotion from the Qi Refining Stage For the foundation building period, the three most important manifestations are: first, the Dantian builds the Dao foundation; second, the mana is liquefied into true essence; and third, the lifespan is increased to three hundred years.
Li Qing failed to build the foundation, and naturally there was no Dao foundation. Due to the damage to the foundation, he lost twenty or thirty years of his life.
"I've never heard of anyone who failed to build a foundation and still had true energy remaining?" Li Qingming thought hard, "could it be the credit of this phantom?"
He tentatively touched it with his spiritual consciousness. Touching the true essence, I found that I could mobilize it at will, like an arm and a finger: "In this way, the safety is more guaranteed."
The true essence is the basis for casting foundation-building spells. When Li Qing reached the peak of Qi refining and had no progress, he also studied several foundation-building spells.
Although the foundation building has failed now, it can still be used with the support of true essence: "The quantity of true essence is limited, and I estimate that it can only be used about ten times. Without the support of Dao foundation, the power and second-order The talismans are similar, but not as good as those performed by serious foundation-building monks personally..."
Li Qing shook his head and silently ran the "Green Wood Jue". Soon, the chaotic mana in the Dantian was sorted out and swam along the spiritual veins. All limbs and bones.
It's just that in this world, the spiritual energy is too weak. Even if he is in the forest, it is still difficult for Li Qing to introduce the energy into his body, and the healing progress is very limited.
With no choice but to take out three more healing pills, he raised his head and drank them: "Tsk, do you feel a little miserable?"
