Chapter 68 Foundation Building Banquet, the secret of raising a dragon (please vote for me)
Li Qing’s arrival really surprised Xuan Jing. After all, the Xuanjing Secret Realm has now closed its door and is hiding in the void.
For example, those secret realms that require tokens can generally only be activated when they are opened. When retreating to a secret realm, the token will also fail.
Li Qing himself discovered that he could still sense the existence of the secret realm through small supernatural powers after leaving the Xuanjing Secret Realm.
He was also shocked: "It's just the Mysterious Crystal Realm. If there are great opportunities, but time is limited, and the secret realm cannot be fully explored..."
Li Qing chatted with Xuan Jing for a while, then called the three Asuns out of the Dantian, and then asked it to borrow the Spirit Vein Cave.
Xuanjing learned and applied it flexibly: "Others need to pay rent if they use their spiritual veins to achieve breakthroughs. If you are cultivating here, you should also be given some personnel support, right?"
Li Qing couldn't help but feel happy. He took out a pot of spiritual wine from his storage bag: "Here, I brought this specially for you. The ten-year-old black wine is refreshing in the mouth, like drinking from a cold spring..."
Xuanjing exhaled a cloud and took the wine. Stop, and then waved his paw: "Go. But don't pick at the Xuan Jing this time. New ones haven't grown yet."
This Jiangjiang wine is only the first-level mid-grade, for Li Qinghe As far as Xuan Jing is concerned, it's just a taste to satisfy her appetite.
Li Qing thanked it with a smile and went to practice in his spiritual veins. The strong spiritual energy surged in, making Li Qing's technique run a little faster.
"The three veins of Qinghe Valley on the left and right merge together, which is enough for the use of the clan. If it were not for fear of arousing suspicion, the family's spiritual veins would not rise."
"Unfortunately, this Xuan Jing The secret realm is so weird that it actually inhibits the growth of plants. Otherwise, it would be very profitable to use it for farming."
Li Qing retreated in the spiritual veins, and the three of them followed Xuan Jing to play and help him. Take care of the three spiritual plants.
Three days passed.
In Qinghe Valley, the Li family's land was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the faces of the clan members were filled with smiles.
Near the ancestral hall, the main hall used for holding major ceremonies was renovated and used to host Li Qing's foundation-building banquet.
The world of self-cultivation revered Emperor Yuan. It was said that he was born from the fire spirit of the great sun and attained enlightenment. Therefore, they also valued noon, the moment when the sun ascended to the zenith of heaven.
Li Qing’s foundation-building banquet followed the trend and was set at noon.
Early in the morning, many patriarchs or elders of the surrounding qi-training families, as well as casual cultivators from the ninth level of qi-training, came with gifts, and were led by Li Hui, Li Yao and others to sit down in the hall.
Liu Yuan, who was recovering from a serious injury, was also among them. He looked at the Li family with flowers and brocades, and thought of Li Qing who jumped to build the foundation, and couldn't help but feel bitter in his mouth.
At six o'clock, when the sun was three high, a clan member came to report: "The ancestor of the Fan family of Zhuxin Island came with his children to congratulate us!"
Li Hui couldn't help but perked up, and led everyone out to greet him: "I've met Senior Fan!"
The ancestor of the Fan family, Shu Yun, is a female cultivator, dressed in light green neon clothes, with a yellow jade bamboo hairpin on her head, her face is like a hibiscus, and she is smiling. Cozy.
She nodded gently towards Li Hui: "Fellow Taoist, you are polite. I wonder if Taoist friend Li Qing has left seclusion?"
Newly promoted Foundation Establishment monks go through a process of consolidating their realm, so as a rule, there is no need to personally greet guests at the Foundation Establishment Banquet.
Li Hui led Fan Shuyun to the seat: "Excuse me, senior, my ancestor will be here in a moment."
A disciple who was traveling with Fan Shuyun presented the gift list, and immediately there were people from the Li family Zhike sings.
"The Fan family of Zhuxin Island will give you a pair of second-grade middle-grade Qingxin Bitter Bamboo Shoots and a box of second-grade low-grade Liquan Lianshi to congratulate the ancestor Li Qing for establishing the foundation!"
Main Hall Inside, all the qi-training family leaders were greatly envied.
"The Fan family actually gave me a pair of fresh bamboo shoots? I remember that their bitter bamboo seeds are never exported to the outside world."
"The Fan family is the best at cooking, and a feast of bamboo shoots is full of flavors. But they are not messy, they complement each other, and they are memorable.”
“I heard that the ancestors of the Li family are good at spiritual cultivation, aren’t the Fan family afraid of being left alone to make a living?”
Soon, other foundation-building ancestors came to the door one after another and presented them with heavy gifts, which made these Qi-training families dumbfounded.
Only the foundation-building ancestor of the Niu family in Xinghua Village only gave him a bottle of second-grade low-grade elixir. For Li Qing, a well-known alchemist, it was purely superficial.
Until the end of the hour, another member of the Li clan came to report: "The ancestors of the Zhou family in Qixingtan and the ancestors of the Lou family in Cuiyunfeng came to congratulate me!" Everyone looked curious: "I didn't know that Daoyou Li also had friendship with these two people?"
The Li family members accompanying the guests were also surprised. After all, the five foundation-building monks who came first came from families around Xuefeng Lake.
Qixingtan and Cuiyun Peak are far away from Xuefeng Lake. Moreover, the ancestors of the two families have been famous for a long time and have profound cultivation skills. How can they congratulate Li Qing, the newly promoted foundation builder?
Li Qing was resting in the back hall as usual. When he heard these two people coming over, he was not surprised when he thought of the two people Zhou and Lou he met in the secret realm.
The congratulatory gifts sent by the ancestors of the two families were also heavy. They were all second-order high-grade spiritual objects, but they were all consumables.
In other words, except for the Fan family who gave them the bamboo shoots that can produce pure hearts, the other gifts from the foundation-building monks were just gifts.
After the ancestors of the Zhou and Lou families entered the hall and took their seats, Si hour passed and noon came.
Li Qing calmly adjusted his clothes, walked out of the apse, walked leisurely through the atrium corridor, and entered the main hall behind the main screen.
“I’m sorry for waiting. I’m sorry for the poor hospitality.”
Because it was a foundation-building banquet, everyone present showed respect and did not reveal their spiritual consciousness. They only heard a clear voice coming from the back of the palace.
Everyone looked up and saw Shi Shiran, a young monk wearing a lotus jade crown and a green crane cloak, with a handsome face and a rich spirit walking into the hall.
From the perspective of Qi-training monks, Li Qing has an extraordinary bearing and has the demeanor of a great foundation-building monk.
But in the eyes of all the foundation builders, they only felt that Li Qing's aura was solid and there was no air of vanity about new breakthroughs. Instead, he looked like a veteran foundation builder who had been practicing for many years.
"Fellow Taoist Fengshen is handsome and handsome, just like the rising sun. Seeing this, I feel like the waves behind the Cangjiang push the waves ahead." An old monk with slightly frosty temples and cloudy eyes sighed. .
He is Sang Yuwan, the founder of the Sang family in Yanglong Lake on the north shore of Xuefeng Lake.
The Cangjiang River is the longest river in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is a vast and endless river. It is said that the dragon vein of the Royal Family of the Great Zhou Dynasty is located below.
Li Qing smiled slightly: "Friend Daoist Sang is joking. You have only lived for more than three decades, so how can you say you are old? It's just a little bit of weather."
The other foundation-building monks also laughed. While joking, the atmosphere in the palace was harmonious.
After Li Qing greeted everyone, he took his seat in the main seat in the middle, and immediately got straight to the point: "Today I invite all my fellow Taoists. Except for the two Taoist friends Zhou and Lou, the rest of you have taken root at Xuefeng Lake. In the future, we will also serve as Let’s share what we need and help each other.”
Fan Shuyun smiled gently: "What Fellow Daoist Li said is true. Since we are friendly neighbors, we should consider peace as the most important thing."
The other foundation-building monks also said a few polite words. As for the Zhang family and Chen family in Qinghe Valley, no one cares about them at all.
Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, the ancestor of the Zhou family pointed at Zhou Jingxing behind him and said: "This bastard of mine, who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth, broke into the retreat of fellow Taoists. I will pay compensation on his behalf."
As he spoke, he raised his head and drank the glass of Lingya deer antler wine on the table.
"Fellow Taoist, you are serious. It's just a misunderstanding." Li Qing was very considerate and drank a full drink.
The ancestor of the Lou family also apologized for Lou Qingyun. Li Qing drank another drink with him.
Of course Zhou Jingxing and Lou Qingyun also apologized.
But they were not even qualified to sit down and drink a cup of apology wine. They could only stand with their eyes and noses in mind, listening to Li Qing talking and laughing with his ancestors. Because the two ancestors mentioned the matter in the secret realm of Xuanjing, the one who intercepted Li Qing that day finally couldn't help but asked: "Dare to ask fellow Daoist Li, what is the significance of foundation building in the secret realm?"
Others in the palace, especially the many Qi practicing families, are even more curious about Li Qing's experience and want to take his place.
Li Qing learned from Zhike that this man came from the Niu family in Xinghua Village east of Xuefeng Lake, and his name was Niu Xinjing.
What he is most famous for is the feat of one man reviving a clan - the entire Niu family, except for his wives and concubines, are his descendants.
He is so worried because there are so many children who have reached the threshold of foundation building. Whether it is renting spiritual veins or buying foundation building pills, there is a huge gap, and there is an urgent need to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
As a foundation-building family, the Niu family naturally has second-level spiritual veins.
But except for those who are blessed with Tiandao foundation building, whether they take pills to build a foundation or build a foundation on their own, they need to extract a large amount of spiritual energy from their spiritual veins, which can easily damage the foundation and even risk downgrading.
Unlike Tanyuan Immortal City and other golden elixir forces, which have third-level spiritual veins, with the enrichment of spiritual energy, the attached second-level spiritual veins are stronger and stronger.
Therefore, except for a few who have deep foundations, other children of foundation-building families tend to rent spiritual veins if they want to break through.
After all, I don’t feel bad about other people’s spiritual veins.
Li Qing had already discussed with Xuan Jing to start a business of leasing spiritual veins. When he saw someone complimenting him, he took the opportunity to introduce him.
"So that all fellow Taoists will know that the guardian spirit beast of the Mysterious Crystal Realm is the most generous lion. I am willing to rent out the Spirit Vein Cave at 50% of the market price for the monks who enter it to break through."< br>
"I met it in the early years, and was entrusted by it to be a broker for you. If you are interested, fellow Taoists, you can pay the rent in full before the next secret realm is opened. If you go in with my token, you will naturally be able to enter the cave."< br>
Hearing this, an elder from the Qi Lian family bravely stood up and said, "Finding the secret portal also depends on chance. What if you really can't find it?"
Li Qing chuckle Said: "It's a coincidence, but how can we live up to our expectations? After the secret realm is opened, the rent will not be refunded."
"Before the secret realm is opened, those who know that there is no hope of entering can get 90% of the rent refunded. Just as a precaution. Anyone involved in a malicious run will no longer be able to exchange for tokens in the future."
Someone asked: "How many unknown quotas are there?"
Li Qing replied: "The second-order spiritual veins in the Xuanjing Secret Realm are hidden underground. They don't appear to be visible, but they are actually vast. To a certain extent, they are not inferior to the third-order spiritual veins."
"The secret realm has been open for ten days. Twelve monks can be divided into three groups and attack the foundation at the same time. It will not be a big problem."
"As for the quota, I would like to adopt the method of registration and lottery. If you are interested, please come back after the banquet. "That's it."
Niu Xinjing was convinced, and he raised a glass to apologize for Meng Lang's behavior that day.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, several fellow foundation builders were already transmitting messages to Li Qing’s spiritual consciousness, trying to take all twelve places.
It's not that they need so many places, it's just that they don't want a few more foundation-building families to take a share of the Xuefeng Lake pie.
While dealing with the crowd, Li Qing raised his glass and picked up chopsticks, casually tasting the spiritual meal, spiritual wine, spiritual fruit, and spiritual tea on the table in front of him.
Although the Li family has a weak foundation, even for the foundation banquet, they only prepared two or three second-level spiritual meals for appearance, but Li Qing still felt very happy.
He tastes spiritual food just for the sake of his appetite, and it does not necessarily have to be beneficial to his practice.
Fan Shuyun saw that he looked leisurely, like an old gourmet, and couldn't help but feel moved in his heart: "If you are interested in spiritual food, you can come to my Zhuxin Island when you have time. It will definitely be a worthwhile trip."
Li Qing knew that this was a second-level spiritual chef. The spiritual meals he cooked were not only beneficial to the foundation-building monks, but also tasted excellent. He couldn't help but be tempted: "If I have time, I will definitely come and visit him."
That's it. Half an hour later, the banquet came to an end.
Li Qing summoned his clansmen, removed the leftovers from the table, and then entered the next stage of the foundation-building banquet—discussing the Tao.
Building a foundation and discussing the Tao is not about being aggressive. We don’t talk about the principles of the Tao, but only about the essence of practice.
Li Qing directly started to refine the elixir, using spiritual fire as a cauldron, and made a furnace of second-level Yuan Yang Dan. The finished elixir was of the highest quality, which shocked everyone.
"So that all fellow Taoists know that my spiritual fire alchemy furnace is a small magical power gained from foundation building. It can improve the rate of elixir formation and the quality of elixirs. It can now refine second-level elixirs."
He revealed his minor supernatural powers, which surprised all the foundation-building monks.
But considering that this spiritual fire elixir furnace is purely an auxiliary magical power, the fear that originally arose due to its self-established foundation and sharp true energy quietly dissipated, and instead became a little closer.
After all, who wouldn’t want to be friends with a powerful alchemist? So, someone placed an order for Li Qing on the spot, and a prescription for the elixir was also included.
Li Qing calmly collected the prescriptions one by one, secretly feeling proud of his empty-handed skills.
He was so honest that the other foundation-building monks couldn't hide it, and they showed some real skills.
Fan Shuyun establishes his Taoism with his spiritual kitchen skills, and controls the knife skills and fire with his own hands. He is also quite powerful when used in battles to win.
Niu Xinjing has a profound knowledge of the harmony of yin and yang. Putting aside personal ethics, his skills in transforming yin and yang and refining the five elements amazed both Zhou and Lou.
“One yin and one yang are called the Tao.” The ancestor of the Zhou family sighed, “Although fellow Taoist Niu is only in the early stages of building the foundation, the road ahead is clear, and there is hope for the golden elixir avenue...”
Li Qing took the opportunity to ask for advice on the essence of practice in the foundation building period.
The ancestor of the Zhou family did not pretend to be profound: "Building the foundation to build the foundation is to build the foundation of the Dao. If you talk about practicing Qi to build the foundation, it is called entering the Dao; then building the foundation to forming the elixir is the enlightenment of the Dao."
< br>“Understanding the Tao of oneself, using true energy to impregnate it, and kneading it into a round big elixir is the realm of elixir formation.”
“As for what it means to build a foundation from one to nine levels , or it’s all bullshit from the early stage to the later stage. If you focus on this and become complacent for the growth of your cultivation, it will all be in vain in the end!”
Li Qing couldn’t help but be surprised when he heard this, and changed his name unknowingly: “ Then what is the significance of the transformation of the skills in the foundation building stage according to the meaning of the predecessor? "
The original Qingmu Jue only reaches the breakthrough of foundation building. Although it has its own magic after transformation, it can only refine the true essence. There is no follow-up practice method.
Li Qing also planned to purchase a foundation-building technique, but now that he heard what the ancestor of the Zhou family said, it seemed unnecessary.
The ancestor of the Zhou family said unceremoniously: "No matter how mysterious those skills are, they are just making a fuss about the change of true energy and do not involve the change of the great road. Even if you practice the flowers, you will not be able to form elixirs."
“If that old ghost from the Lu family hadn’t been obsessed with this, he would have attained the golden elixir long ago. How could he have ended up in a situation where he would have died sitting down, and the family’s foundation-building monks would have been cut off.”
Li Qing felt that it made sense when he heard this. Just as he was about to bow to him to thank him, he heard the ancestor of the Lou family next to him sneer.
"Don't listen to his boast! What this old guy practiced himself is the exquisite skill he got from the Lu family."
"As soon as his true energy turns, he will have three changes. Now that he is about to turn nine, he can produce twenty-seven changes. When fighting with others, he is almost always unfavorable. When he encounters the true disciples of the big sects, he can not fall behind."
< br>Li Qing couldn't help but choke, and didn't know who to listen to.
Sang Yuwan saw his embarrassment and did not point it out. He talked about his own secrets of raising dragons.
This is a powerful method for cultivating dragon seeds and enlightening dragon veins. Although it did not involve specific secret techniques, it still attracted Li Qing's attention.
After all, there are more than a dozen cubs of the Spirit Fish King in his pond. The essence of the inheritance of the Dragon Bearded Golden Carp and the Spirit Fish King, if blessed with this secret, can really do a lot.
What's more, he glanced at A'sun in his dantian. The scaled and horned figure surrounded by clouds and mist made Li Qing hard not to think: "This little thing can also transform into a dragon, right?"
