Chapter 253 Weighing
“Not bad! I can see it so quickly. It seems that you have really not delayed your practice in these years, and you have made a lot of progress.”
As Song Qingyu said, Song Qingming It took more than three months of retreat, and I finally broke through to the fourth level of foundation building.
"Seventh Brother, don't praise me too much. If you hadn't been there to guide me all these years, my cultivation would probably be a lot worse than it is now." Hearing Song Qingming's praise , Song Qingyu quickly smiled and said modestly.
After four years, Song Qingyu has not yet made a breakthrough in cultivation. But the second level of foundation building is not too far away. As long as there is another year or two, her cultivation breakthrough will be a matter of course.
"There is actually only so much help I can give you. You still have to rely more on yourself in the future. In terms of spiritual root talent, you are better than me. You may be able to go further than me in the future, but don't You must live up to your own Taoist heart. "
"Qingyu will definitely remember the teachings of Brother Seven."
Song Qingming nodded to her and continued, "Have Uncle Six been here recently? Has anything happened in the clan? ?”
"Uncle Liu came here half a month ago. The output of the mineral veins in Lingyuan Mountain this year has dropped by 20% compared to last year. Some miners living there have no work to do. Uncle Liu wants to discuss it with you. Let's see. Let’s see if we should migrate some mortals back first.”
“You have lived in Lingyuan Mountain since you were a child. How do you think we should handle this matter?” Song Qingming did not answer directly, but asked Song Qingyu, thinking. Listen to her opinion.
Seeing that this seventh brother seemed to want to test himself, Song Qingyu quickly said: "There are already more than 3,000 mortals in Lingyuan Mountain, but the fertile fields that can be cultivated in the deep mountains are very limited, and the food supply is still limited every year. It is indeed too heavy a burden to ask for help from Funiu Mountain.
< br>Now that the black iron veins are almost exhausted, the family has no other properties there except this mine. If this continues, it will be a matter of time before some mortals come back.
But now. The family currently has two mortal towns, Mujiao Town The population of Hemu Ancient Town is already very saturated. It may be difficult to relocate so many mortals back at once. Our top priority is to quickly build another mortal town and expand the living space of mortals under Funiu Mountain."
“You are right, The family has developed too fast in the past twenty years. It is really time to make some preparations in advance. As you said, take the time to choose a suitable place to build the town and let Uncle Liu and the others do it first! Song Qingyu still had some opinions of his own, and Song Qingming nodded happily.
After Song Qingyu left, Song Qingming walked alone to the cliff not far in front of the cave, sat down quietly and enjoyed the cool breeze while enjoying the scenery at the foot of the mountain.
Funiu Mountain has gone through more than two hundred years of changes, from a dangerous place where monsters were rampant to a place where smoke is everywhere and thousands of families are happy. This change is also the painstaking work of five generations of monks from the Song family.
This time Song Qingming broke through to the fourth level of foundation building, but it actually didn't go well. If he hadn't finally made up his mind to directly take the Earth Spirit Dew given to him by Huofeng, he would not have succeeded in breaking through this time.
Song Qingming has seen the spiritual object Earth Spirit Dew in ancient books. This kind of natural spiritual object can only be produced when monsters go through the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation. It is an extremely precious thing. Spiritual objects rarely fall into the hands of humans. The effect of this product is similar to what Huofeng said. Generally, if a foundation-building monk takes it directly, it can almost help improve one level of cultivation. Song Qingming originally wanted to save it until he breaks through the ninth level of foundation-building.
The reason why he took this product in such a hurry is because when Song Qingming broke through the small realm of the fourth level of foundation building this time, he found that he had fallen into a big bottleneck. If Without the help of Dilinglu, if I want to break through this bottleneck normally, I don't know how long it will take. It is estimated that I may not succeed in ten years.
There won't be much of a bottleneck in the first three levels of the foundation-building realm. It usually takes about twenty years for a monk to reach the third level of foundation-building.
But when you break through the fourth level of the middle stage of foundation building, the difficulty begins to be different. Almost every level will be much more difficult. The cultivation of more than half of the foundation building monks in the world of immortality will be reduced for a long time. Stuck here.
By the time they slowly broke through to the late stage of foundation building, their longevity was no longer enough, and these monks completely lost the opportunity to form pills.
Among the foundation-building monks that Song Qingming is more familiar with, Lu Yuanfeng from Qinghefang, Gao Jinhe from the Gao family, and Wang Chengliang from the Wang family are almost all like this, including Huang Shengyue and Lu Xingde, who will almost have the same fate in the future. .
The lifespan of a foundation-building monk is only two hundred and fifty years. Without a large amount of resources or special opportunities, few people can raise their cultivation to the ninth level of foundation-building within a hundred years of building a foundation.
In the entire Qinghe County, there was only one genius named Huang Shengxin. He had reached the ninth level of foundation building before he was 160 years old and had a chance to form an elixir. Unfortunately, he was still not prepared enough to form an elixir and could not succeed.
If he wants to form pills, Song Qingming must speed up his cultivation and raise his cultivation level to the ninth level of foundation building as soon as possible, so that he can give himself several more opportunities to form pills.
After discovering that his cultivation had encountered a bottleneck, Song Qingming had only two choices before him, either to wait for time to pass by and save the Earth Spirit Dew for use in the later stages of foundation building. Although this could Maximize the effect of this spiritual object, but the disadvantage is that his cultivation level cannot be improved now, and his own strength can only stay at this level temporarily.
Or you can decisively use the Earth Spirit Dew to break through, which will allow you to enter the middle stage of foundation building faster, so that your strength will be improved a lot immediately, but you can only rely on yourself to make breakthroughs in the future. Let’s go look for other spiritual things.
After weighing it again and again, Song Qingming decided to take the Earth Spirit Dew immediately to help break through the cultivation base and give priority to improving his own strength. Although he also wanted to make better use of this spiritual object, but now he After all, his strength is not particularly outstanding among foundation-building monks. Compared with the future, he still has to consider his ability to save his life first.
However, this Earth Spirit Dew not only helped him break through the bottleneck of the fourth level of Foundation Establishment, but the excess spiritual power in it also helped him shorten at least five years of hard training. His current cultivation level has reached the Foundation Establishment level. The fifth floor is actually not too far away.
The sky has gradually darkened, and various lights are slowly lighting up under the mountain, adding many vivid scenes to the entire Funiu Mountain. Song Qingming, who had been sitting for a long time, slowly stood up and returned In his own cave.
