Chapter 212 The Fourth Floor of Foundation Building
One month later, at the top of the main peak of Qingzhu Mountain, in a secret room in a certain courtyard.
Lin Tianfeng clasped his hands together and breathed evenly, consolidating his cultivation.
I don’t know how much time passed, but after he finished the exercise, he opened his closed eyes and felt the overwhelming power in his body, with a thick smile on his face.
The process of attacking the foundation building realm this time was relatively smooth. After only a few attacks, he broke through the bottleneck of foundation building, which surprised him.
However, when he felt the effect of the Foundation Establishment Pill and recalled the gentle spiritual power and huge energy when he broke through, he felt relieved.
Lin Tianfeng laughed and whispered to himself:
"No wonder those Jindan sects can endure for a long time. This Foundation Establishment Pill plays a vital role, coupled with their talents There are many outstanding disciples, and the bottleneck of the foundation-building realm is not a big obstacle to them."
After regaining his composure, he stood up and left the secret room.
Within a cup of tea, he arrived at the cave where Lin Shilu was.
At this time, Lin Shilu and Lin Shihua were sitting opposite each other, drinking tea, chatting and laughing, looking very happy.
Lin Tianfeng hurriedly stepped forward to salute with clasped fists, and respectfully said: "Tianfeng pays homage to the twelfth grandpa, and pays homage to the fifteenth grandpa!"
Lin Shilu laughed and waved his hand and said: "Tianfeng, don't do it. You’re so polite, come and sit!”
Lin Tianfeng then raised his head, walked over, found a free seat, sat down, and stopped talking.
Seeing Lin Tianfeng's somewhat restrained look, Lin Shilu smiled and told him not to be nervous.
Lin Tianfeng nodded awkwardly, and then chatted with the two elders, reporting some breakthrough experiences and feelings.
After a while, Lin Xingzhi and Lin Xingcheng, who had completed their cultivation, came together to pay tribute to the two elders.
The two of them looked excited and seemed to have not yet calmed down. They paid homage respectfully and acted very sincerely.
Lin Shilu pulled the two of them up with an easy-going smile, and then asked a few people to sit down. After chatting for a few words, he began to teach some cultivation experience, which benefited a few people a lot.
The three generations, old and young, chatted for a long time before they left and were busy with their own affairs.
A few days later, Lin Tianming was in the secret room.
He sat on the ground. Although his face was slightly pale, the sweat on his forehead dripped on the ground, and his clothes were already wet with sweat, he still looked like an old monk in meditation, and his thick body looked very upright.
He has been holding on to this posture for a year.
For a year, he stayed at home and concentrated on practicing in seclusion.
With such hard work, his cultivation has reached the peak of the third level of foundation building, and he is ready to try to break through the fourth level of foundation building.
At this time, he had already tried several attacks, but all ended in failure.
He was not surprised at all. Entering the fourth floor of foundation building is the realm of the middle stage of foundation building. It is very difficult to break through the bottleneck of this level. It is several times more difficult than breaking through the third floor of the second floor of foundation building. more than.
He was not discouraged. He mustered up the courage again and tried the fifth impact. He had reached the critical moment of breakthrough.
He looked determined at this moment, gathering his spiritual power together, preparing to launch the final impact.
In his Qihai Dantian, the gathered spiritual power was like a flood, hitting the bottleneck on the fourth floor of the foundation.
Over and over again, I don’t know how long it has been.
Just when his whole body was about to be paralyzed and his consciousness was somewhat blurred, a sudden warmth spread throughout his body, like a body of mud suddenly falling into warm water. The comfortable feeling made people feel happy.
Lin Tianming was overjoyed and quickly put his consciousness into his body to observe.
In his own dantian, the solidified spiritual power merged into the greater Qihai dantian, and then quickly became more viscous.
Not only that, when the barrier was breached, a large amount of energy emerged from his body, washing his body.
A fishy smell came, and some foul-smelling dirt suddenly oozed from his body.
This is obviously after the breakthrough, the spiritual power combined with the medicinal power contained in the body strengthened his body again. This situation has happened many times, and he didn't take it to heart at all.
He clasped his palms together and circulated the technique for a large circle. When the true energy spread throughout his body through his veins, he let out a long sigh.
Nearly five years have passed since breaking through the third level of foundation building to now.
After five years, he experienced the baptism of the journey of experience, and his cultivation was extremely solid. He refined the only two remaining seven-color golden lotus seeds, plus three years of concentrated retreat, and finally The bottleneck was successfully broken through.
Even though he worked so hard, he got the rewards he deserved.
Feeling the vigorous spiritual power and explosive power throughout the body, it is thicker and more solid than before, and the energy contained is also more powerful.
After finally calming down, he did not get up immediately, but began to exercise his power and adjust his breath, preparing to consolidate his cultivation to avoid falling due to instability after the breakthrough.
He sat on the ground and circulated the technique for a large circle, quickly circulating the spiritual power throughout his body.
Half a month has passed...
In the practice room, Lin Tianming, who was sitting on the floor, opened his closed eyes, and two rays of light flashed from the corners of his eyes.
Lin Tianming stood up and felt the vigorous spiritual power in his body. It was running extremely smoothly. Every move contained great energy. It was more than twice as strong as when he was on the third floor of the foundation.
Now we have broken through to the fourth level of foundation building and entered the middle stage of foundation building.
If he had to fight those three mid-level second-order Qilin beasts again, he would be sure to easily defeat them without using any spiritual skills.
He clenched his fists, and several crackling sounds were heard all over his body, echoing in the quiet secret room.
After consolidating himself in seclusion for a period of time, his cultivation level was stabilized at the fourth level of foundation building and was very stable.
"Huhu..." He breathed out.
Looking at the smelly black mud on his body, he pinched it with one hand, cast a five-element spell, cleaned the dirt on his body, and put on a new set of green shirt.
After doing this, he tidied up the secret room as usual, and then walked out of the secret room and appeared in the small courtyard of the cave.
“It’s been a long time since I left seclusion. Tianyue and the others should have returned to the family. A few years have passed, and I don’t know how her and her mother’s cultivation has improved. Whether they have met the basic requirements for the foundation building period.”
Lin Tianming thought to himself, and after sending two summonses, he quickly walked out of the cave, preparing to visit his grandfather first.
After a while, he came to the alchemy hall and met Lin Shigong.
Lin Shigong was very satisfied when he saw that Lin Tianming had come out of seclusion and his cultivation had reached the fourth level of foundation building.
And he himself has practiced very hard in the past few years, but his cultivation has been stuck at the peak of the second level of foundation building, and there is no sign of breaking through to the third level of foundation building.
"Sigh... It is true that he is older, and the talent gap is not small, so every step forward is extremely difficult." Lin Shigong thought to himself.
Soon he came back to his senses. The grandfather and grandson sat opposite each other, and Lin Tianming asked about various things that had happened to the family in recent years.
After Lin Shigong finished speaking, he learned that Lin Tianfeng, Lin Xingzhi, and Lin Xingcheng had successfully broken through the foundation building a year ago without any failure, which shocked Lin Tianming.
"This success rate is too high. Is the effect of the Foundation Establishment Pill so strong?" Lin Tianming thought to himself.
Soon he returned to normal, his face was extremely excited, and he asked about his parents and sister.
According to what Lin Shigong said, his father came back once during his retreat, and his cultivation broke through the third level of foundation building. He was transferred to Qianchuanfang City to replace Lin Xingping, and Jinjiao Mountain was handed over to the replacement Lin Xingping to guard it.
As for the mother and sister, they have all entered the Qi Refining Dzogchen cultivation level for a while and need to settle for two years before they can try to hit the foundation building stage.
At this time, Lin Tianming sighed with emotion. The next few years will still be extremely critical for the Lin family.
Although Lin Tianfeng and the others have broken through the foundation building, there are probably more tribesmen who will attack the foundation building in the future. Clan members of the Tianzi generation like Lin Tianhong and Lin Tianqin have already reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and there are also many Xingzi generations. The clan members have also reached this level. As long as the Foundation Establishment Pill is enough, the clan will not be short of clan members above the ninth level of Qi Refining. A few years ago, the family was in a gap period and lacked clan members above the ninth level of Qi refining.
To the current situation, this is a huge change, and the family has really begun to make a qualitative leap.
Thinking of this, he was extremely excited. Lin Shigong also became excited due to Lin Tianming's emotions.
The grandfather and grandson finally calmed down. After chatting for a while, they walked out of the alchemy hall and walked towards the small courtyard of the cave where their mother lived.
After receiving his summons, my mother and sister had finished their retreat and were waiting for their grandfather and grandson to arrive in advance.
Having not seen his mother and sister for several years, Lin Tianming still missed them a little, and his steps became much faster.
After a while, the two of them entered a familiar courtyard. Their mother and sister quickly came over to say hello.
Seeing the mother and daughter, Lin Shigong smiled and waved his hands, and the four of them sat in the small courtyard and started chatting.
When she learned that Lin Tianming had successfully broken through the fourth level of foundation building, her mother was full of joy. She had always been reassured about Lin Tianming's cultivation. Leaving it behind, he felt extremely proud when he thought about it.
The younger sister is a little frustrated. They are brother and sister, and her own talent is not bad. Although not as good as her elder brother, she is still among the top among her peers.
In the past, during the Qi refining stage, the gap in cultivation between the brother and sister was not obvious, but now it is getting wider and wider, reaching several levels.
"Sigh... If you don't work hard, it will be even harder to catch up with your brother!" Lin Tianyue frowned and thought to himself.
Seeing Lin Tianyue's expression, Lin Shigong quickly guessed it and quickly spoke to comfort her.
“Cultivation does not mean you can make progress by practicing in seclusion. It requires experience and opportunities. Furthermore, among your peers, your cultivation speed is already extremely fast. Except for a few people who can match it, this is already very fast. It’s not easy anymore.”
Before he finished speaking, Lin Tianming also started to persuade.
"Yes Tianyue, blindly practicing in seclusion will only make your cultivation impetuous. If you don't experience the crisis of life and death, even if you are given endless pills, your progress will be limited."< br>
Hearing the words of her grandfather and grandson, she had indeed not participated in training for a long time. Lin Tianyue nodded thoughtfully, and secretly made up her mind to practice once, polish her cultivation, and then experience the impact again. Foundation building period.
Thinking of this, she said: "Grandpa, brother, tomorrow I will invite the third sister and the others to have some experience in the Luoyun Mountains. What do you think?"
Looking at Lin Tianyue's firm eyes, Lin Tianming still wouldn't hurt her self-confidence and quickly talked about his suggestions.
"It is indeed feasible, but the Luoyun Mountain Range has been cleaned up now. The previous safety line has extended hundreds of miles into the interior, but the monsters on the edge are very different from before. Their It is so powerful that even a brother would not dare to enter easily.”
< br>"If you form a team and go to the outer area, it will not be useful at all. It will be too dangerous to go to the inner area."
Lin Tianming thought about the embarrassing scene when he fought three Qilin beasts. Unable to bear the fear, he continued:
"If you really want to experience it, you can consider the remote remnants of the Luoyun Mountains. Not many monks have set foot in those places, and you might be able to encounter some treasures that no one has discovered."
"What's more important is that The strength of the monsters is not very high. At most, there are one or two mid-level monsters of the second level. Most of them are at the late first level or early second level. If you form a team, you can still deal with an early second level monster."
"Yes, Girl Yue, Tianming is right, go to Luo. It's too dangerous inside the Yunshan Mountains, and those remaining veins are great!" Lin Shigong agreed.
"I know, let's go to those remaining veins. I have a lot of second-level talismans on me, and there are countless first-level ones. Together with the third sister, plus Tianhu and the others, we can deal with them. It shouldn't be a big problem for only the early stage monsters."
"Just know it yourself, don't rush ahead for the sake of success, and try to be more cautious!" Lin Shigong warned.
Seeing what his grandfather had said, Lin Tianming didn't say much. He had long heard that Lin Tianhu had outstanding talents and was shining brightly among the Tianzi generation. His cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining and he had rich experience in fighting. He was no better than Lin Tianfeng. Difference.
For such a ruthless person, his cultivation speed is lower than that of Lin Tianming. Even Lin Tianyue, who has always had superior conditions, is ashamed of himself. His strength is unparalleled among his peers.
With him training together, the people who are training should not be in much danger.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming changed the topic and discussed the method of alchemy with his grandfather.
For more than ten years, Lin Shigong has been immersed in alchemy, and his success rate in refining second-level low-grade elixirs has been very high. There are more and more foundation-building monks in the family, and they consume a lot of elixirs. Coupled with the need to train young clan members to make alchemy, the cumbersome clan affairs seriously hindered his practice.
He didn't care about this, he knew very well that it was very difficult for him to break through the foundation building, his potential was almost exhausted, and the hope of breaking through the golden elixir stage was too slim, so he might as well study the elixir path with all his heart and do his best for the family.
Lin Tianming also persuaded him. He was still young, and if he had some heaven-defying treasures, it would not be impossible for him to make a breakthrough.
Grandpa Naihe was not moved at all, and there was nothing he could do.
Lin Shigong chuckled and dismissed the matter for the time being, finally bringing back the heavy atmosphere.
Half an hour later, Lin Tianming and his grandson left the cave and went about their own affairs.
After leaving his mother's cave, he walked on the bluestone square at the top of the main peak.
Walking to the front of his cave courtyard, he bumped into Lin Tianfeng and Lin Tianhong.
Seeing Lin Tianming, Lin Tianfeng and Lin Tianfeng looked happy and hurriedly walked up to say hello. "Tianming, are you out of seclusion?"
"Brother, congratulations on successfully building the foundation!" Lin Tianming clasped his fists and smiled.
Lin Tianfeng smiled bitterly, and then said: "Sixth brother, there is no need to become a brother like this. You have already built the third level of foundation. The gap in cultivation between our brothers is getting bigger and bigger!"
"Yeah...Sixth brother is getting stronger and stronger now, and the gap between us is getting wider and wider. I'm afraid the gap will widen even further in the future, and we probably won't be able to catch up again!" Lin Tianhong also interjected.
Seeing what the two said, Lin Tianming felt helpless and could only say a few words of comfort.
"You two brothers are overthinking it. In the later stages of cultivation, it becomes more and more difficult to break through. It took me five years to break through a realm, and the interval will be even longer. Without the help of treasures, it will take ten years. It is difficult to break through a level. "
"Once you enter the foundation building stage, it will not be difficult to practice, and you will be able to catch up with me soon!"
Lin Tianming's comfort made Er The person's eyes became firm, and a glimmer of hope secretly burned in his heart.
Lin Tianfeng then invited Lin Tianming and Lin Tianfeng to go to his cave for a small gathering, and the two readily agreed.
After a while, the three of them came to a courtyard, which was in the same area as Lin Tianming's cave, not far apart.
With Lin Tianfeng's success in foundation building, the Tianzi generation welcomed the second foundation building monk, and the empty courtyard gradually had an owner.
Sitting in the small courtyard, the three brothers drank tea and chatted, chatting and laughing, having a rare moment of leisure.
Soon, Lin Xingzhi and Lin Xingcheng also rushed over. Seeing Lin Tianming here, Lin Xingzhi said excitedly: "Tianming, I thought you hadn't left seclusion. We happened to meet you today, so we have to get together. Ichiban.”
Lin Tianming chuckled. He just came out of seclusion today. Only his grandfather and mother knew that Lin Tianfeng just happened to meet him. It was normal for them not to know.
However, he was very excited when he heard the news that they were building a foundation. He planned to come to congratulate them, but he didn't expect to meet them here.
After regaining his composure, he chuckled and replied: "Congratulations to the two clan uncles for breaking through the foundation building, and adding a few more foundation pillars to the family."
"Haha... the foundation pillars are not worthy of the title. , It’s just a fluke, if we all have benefited from you these years, otherwise, I’m afraid it will be difficult to break through the foundation in this life,” Lin Xingcheng said sincerely.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xingzhi also sighed with emotion. "Yes...if Tianming hadn't obtained the White Jade Grass from the secret realm, it's hard to say whether we could have built the foundation!"
After getting together, the atmosphere reached its peak again.
The five of them drank and chatted happily while exchanging their cultivation experiences. Everyone gained a lot.
The lively party lasted until late at night before everyone got up and said goodbye.
Lin Tianming and others walked on the bluestone road together. Lin Xingcheng and Lin Xingzhi lived in the courtyard area of the Xingzi clan. Lin Tianhong had not yet built a foundation and lived in his father's courtyard.
Lin Xingzhi and Lin Xingzhi invited Lin Tianming to get together another day. He agreed easily, then said goodbye to a few people and returned to his cave.
Sitting on the futon in the secret room, he clasped his hands together, moved the technique familiarly, and began to practice.
