Chapter 106 Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment
As the senior brothers and sisters reported one by one, Su Ze also figured out what the senior brothers and sisters have been doing these years, and what he will do in the future.
To put it simply, Qingpingfang City and Qingpingbiefu, where several third- and fourth-grade seniors are currently stationed, are one of Master Song Wan’s industries in this world. They bring a certain amount of income and some special resources to Master every year. .
Fangshi's annual income is 6 pieces of top-quality spiritual stones.
Beppu's annual income is 3 top-quality spiritual stones and 400 Yunmeng spiritual beads.
But this is not all of the Master's property. After all, how could a Nascent Soul True Monarch only have such a small property?
It's just that other industries are too high-end, and they are not qualified to participate for the time being. The fourth-year seniors Ji Jinglun and Dai Yucheng are currently in the late stage of foundation building. Their cultivation is enough to preside over Fangshi and Beppu, and they cannot participate in higher interests. , which is hosted by some former seniors who have graduated from Jindan cultivation.
After four years of college graduation, you can choose to stay in school, which is also a way out.
And freshmen like Su Ze are free in their first year.
You can choose to do nothing and just work hard.
You can also choose to take some tasks from the tutor and earn some credits and spiritual stones, which is suitable for students with ordinary backgrounds who have little support behind them.
Logically speaking, Su Ze is from an average background, and the family's support will not be too much. Unless he shows great potential to be promoted to Nascent Soul in the next ten years, the family will increase investment.
Su Ze's temporary idea is to immerse himself in cultivation first and talk about the rest later.
In the following days, Su Ze entered the academy state and practiced in a low-key manner every day.
However, considering that the mysterious aura used to log in takes a month to condense, and the instructor has to summon three freshmen every month to test their cultivation progress, there is no way to retreat for more than a month at a time, which means that the mysterious aura cannot be saved.
In addition, there are only 4 spiritual lights left on hand. If you do anything, they will be gone. You can only enter the prehistoric world for one month, stay in reality for one month, and accumulate ten first.
But this is fine, as I spend half of my time in the main world, and I can spend more time building relationships with my fellow brothers and sisters.
Over time, he basically understood the situation of Professor Song Wan and the other eight disciples except himself.
Song Qingyang and Wu Yan who were at the same time as him did indeed come from Ziyun Immortal Palace, and were both second generation.
Among them, Song Qingyang is a relative of tutor Song Wan and counselor Song Jia. They both come from a large family in Ziyun Palace.
The same goes for Wu Yan, but she has a very strict tone and has never been able to find out her true origin.
But seeing that Song Qingyang was quite respectful to her, he must have a good background.
The two of them were from Shangzong and were young. They usually behaved with a hint of arrogance and a sense of superiority. They were not very close to Su Ze, a special move from outside the sect.
Su Ze only paid attention to him when he felt that they were from the same sect. If they were not from the same sect, he probably wouldn't pay attention to him at all.
Of course, Su Ze would not approach him shyly in this situation. He would also keep his distance and limit himself to people from the same family.
On the contrary, several other senior brothers were quite close to him. Most of them were from the Shang Sect, but they had probably been severely beaten by reality and did not have that kind of arrogance towards people outside the Sect.
Except for Wei Xiyu, the beautiful second senior sister in the third grade, she has a somewhat cold temperament and is not very social.
As he continued to understand, Su Ze learned that several senior brothers had indeed been severely beaten by society.
Logically speaking, Su Ze should have eleven senior brothers and sisters, but now there are only eight left, and the other three senior brothers have all died on the way to practice.
Having seen life and death, there is always growth.
The three who died were the fourth grader and the third grader.
There are four grades. The first and second grade major in cultivation. They usually stay in school to practice. Even if they receive tasks to make money, they are mostly refining weapons, alchemy or collecting tasks. They are not far from the school and the difficulty is not too high.
But when the third grade begins, there will be various mandatory tasks away from the campus.
For example, a guard task requires guarding a place to maintain security, such as Fangshi or Beppu.
Killing missions, wanted indigenous monks, demon cultivators, etc.
Or go to dangerous places to hunt monsters and so on.
Half of the six senior brothers in the third and fourth grades were dead.
There is no smooth sailing on the road to spiritual practice, and the risks you may face when conquering foreign lands are beyond ordinary people's imagination. Colleges are not middle schools, and a comfortable environment cannot cultivate real elites.
Therefore, any university has a death indicator, and it is not low.
It is worth mentioning that the school never releases missions that require death, and all missions are marked with difficulty and risk.
Most of these students who died midway had high self-esteem and looked down upon the natives too much.
Ordinary indigenous foundation-building monks have a mediocre foundation. Most of them practice ordinary Qi-refining and mental techniques. The spiritual weapons in their hands are in a mess, and their grades are not high. Various secret techniques are of varying quality. Most of them have never heard of magical powers.
The elites of higher education institutions have a strong foundation. At best, they all have exquisite qi-refining and mental techniques. They often have top-grade spiritual weapons and super-grade spiritual weapons in their hands, as well as talismans, a large number of high-quality talismans, seals, elixirs, and all kinds of magical powers and secrets.
In the early stage of foundation building, you can easily challenge the indigenous casual cultivators in the middle and later stages of foundation building. I wonder if you will look down upon them?
Everyone is self-centered. No matter how much advice others give, they will never listen. Only when you are fooled yourself will you wake up.
Fighting is a matter of life or death. When you find that you have been deceived and trapped in a trap that you cannot beat, it is often too late.
Time is passing slowly, and one year has passed before I know it.
Su Ze kept a low profile this year and stayed in the sect to practice.
The semi-annual assessment went without incident. He landed in the wilderness three times in half a year. He officially entered the Nine Yang Burning Sky Manual. All his mana was converted into fire-attribute liquid mana. The power of the various fire-based spells he cast was greatly increased.
The nine top-grade fire-type spiritual stones have been refined, and are now refined into spiritual weapons, with levels equal to his cultivation level.
In the early stage of foundation building, the cultivation level is equivalent to a low-grade spiritual weapon, and in the later stage of foundation building, it is equivalent to a high-grade spiritual weapon.
If you form an elixir in the future, you will automatically be promoted to a third-level magic weapon.
However, considering that this treasure was related to his own cultivation, Su Ze never thought of using this treasure to fight the enemy.
In addition, the Nine Transformations of the Dragon Demon reached the fifth transformation, and Song Wan was rarely praised for this speed of progress.
In the second half of the year, we landed for the fourth time.
Prehistoric, landing point No. 2.
A tall figure stood in the open space in front of the bamboo house. The breeze rustled through the bamboo forest, and the burning blood flames swayed with the wind.
It has a dragon head and a body, with dragon horns on top of its head. Under the almost translucent blood flames are patches of dark golden dragon scales, imprinted with extremely fine runes.
"Nine Transformations of the Dragon Demon!"
The eyelids were raised, revealing golden pupils that were like amber.
He possesses the fourth-level true dragon bloodline. When the dragon demon completed the ninth transformation of the nine transformations, it was linked with the true dragon bloodline, allowing him to complete the manifestation of the bloodline's return to his ancestors in advance and forge a half-dragon body.
In other words, what he manifested at this time was not only the true body of the bloodline manifestation, but also the true body of the Nine Transformations of the Dragon Demon.
The minor magical power of the Nine Transformations of the Dragon and Demon has been cultivated to its limit and cannot be improved any further.
After nine transformations, the Dragon Demon's true body alone possesses physical strength and physical strength that are not inferior to those of Foundation Establishment Perfection.
Combined with the power of his bloodline and his physical body that was nearly half transformed into gold, muscle and jade, the strength of Su Ze's physical body at this time has exceeded that of ordinary foundation-building perfect physical cultivation.
In addition, his cultivation level has also been upgraded to the middle stage of foundation building.
Even though he spent three days fishing and two days drying nets without any effort at all, the mana accumulated daily had unknowingly accumulated to more than 40 points of liquid mana, reaching the middle stage of foundation building.
With a thought, the huge dragon demon's true body quickly converged into a human form.
Su Ze looked up with a smile on his face with pupils that still had the characteristics of a real dragon.
His body became weak and slowly disappeared. "Creak!"
The door to the secret room opened and Su Ze walked out.
Soon Su Yuting and Su Ke came back. Su Ze was lying on the sofa enjoying Su Yuting's service while listening to Su Ke's routine introduction.
It didn't take long for him to finish hearing the information and finish the food. He wiped his mouth and looked at the two of them.
One year later, after refining six drops of thousand-year-old stone milk, both of them had reached the perfection of Qi refining and were ready to build the foundation at any time.
Su Ze took out two Foundation Establishment Pills from the storage space and placed them on the table. The two of them were obviously excited, but Su Ze took away the two Foundation Establishment Pills with a wave of his hand. The two of them were slightly startled.
"I have more than a dozen Foundation Establishment Pills, and I won't be short of them for you."
Su Ze took away the Foundation Establishment Pill, raised his hand and grabbed Su Yuting's arm beside him and kneaded it back and forth, causing the girl's delicate face to twist slightly in pain.
He shook his head and said:
"With your current physique, the success rate of foundation building is less than 10%."
"Zuko, you're about the same."
He snorted coldly and asked:
"Do you specialize in body-building exercises?"
"You think it's enough to take some body-enhancing elixirs to strengthen your body? That's far from the truth."
He reached out and made a gesture, opened the internal network, did some operations on it, and spent 30 points to redeem two jade slips for the Tai Xu Divine Refining Technique, two jade slips for the Dragon and Elephant Technique, and two Qianjun Yuan Refining Techniques.
After completing the operation, he closed the panel and raised his head and said: "I have exchanged for each of you a Dragon Elephant Technique, a Tai Xu Divine Refining Technique, and a Qianjun Yuan Refining Technique, which can improve your mental power and the purity of your magic power. , and physical strength.”
"I will give you one year to practice these three techniques, and prepare to build the foundation after one year."
"I don't need you to break through the realm quickly, and I don't need you to be cannon fodder. I need to lay a good foundation first and practice well. I hope you both can successfully build the foundation and even condense the golden elixir in the future."
As he revealed his purpose, both of their faces showed moved expressions.
Su Ke knelt down and said:
"Young Master's great love, Su Ke will never forget it. He will go through fire and water for the Young Master without any hesitation!"
Su Yuting was not so passionate, but it could be seen from her eyes that she was equally excited.
Su Ze stood up to accept his oath. After that, he took out the Foundation Establishment Pill and handed it to them, saying:
"Put it away yourself. Although there is no need to rush to build the foundation, no one knows which will come first tomorrow or the accident. On what day, an unexpected accident will require a breakthrough in the realm to deal with it. Don't hesitate."
Suko took the Foundation Establishment Pill and nodded vigorously.
After appeasing the two followers, Su Ze went out to Tianqing Tower.
When he arrived at the door, he saw his fourth-year senior brother Ji Jinglun. He saw Su Ze waving from a distance, looked him up and down, and said with a smile:
"Junior brother's aura is much stronger. This is a great improvement in strength."
"There is some progress."
As the two walked, Ji Jinglun said: "Junior brother has been practicing all year long this year. Will he still stay in school and practice hard next year?"
Su Ze shook his head and said:
“No, I will try to get some tasks and earn some credits next year.”
Ji Jinglun immediately said:
"If that's the case, senior brother, I have a mission here. Qingpingfang City is short of a manager. Are you interested in coming over to help?"
"Qingpingfang City is in need of a manager?"
"Yes, there was a fight between two demon kings in Yunmeng Daze some time ago, and the aftermath spread to Fangshi. Two Fangshi stewards who went out to purchase supplies did not have time to withdraw from Fangshi's formation and disappeared. They have not returned now. They are probably dead in the city. It’s outside.”
"Demon King?"
"Is it the Nascent Soul Great Demon?"
"Yes."
Su Ze took a shower and waved his hands repeatedly: "That's too dangerous, I won't go."
Ji Jinglun quickly waved his hand and said:
"Don't get me wrong, this is an unexpected situation. Our principal made a contract with the demon kings of Yunmeng Daze a thousand years ago, and you are not allowed to do anything to the students of our school. Our principal is the venerable god. As long as you don't take the initiative, all the demons will The king and his demon generals will never attack us."
Su Ze was silent and did not refuse, but his expression was clearly unwilling.
Ji Jinglun couldn't help but waved his hand and said, "Okay, since junior brother has no intention of doing anything, forget it, I'll go to the ordinary class to recruit two."
Seeing this, Su Ze breathed a sigh of relief and explained a little:
"Brother, don't blame me. It's mainly because I don't know the situation outside and don't dare to go out rashly."
Ji Jinglun smiled and waved his hand: "I understand, being cautious is a good advantage."
"But you are too careful. This Qingpingfang City is Master's property, there will be no danger, and if you go to help, in addition to the 100 credit points reward every year, you can also get about 100 high-grade spiritual stones. ”
"Let's wait until we meet the master."
"OK."
The two of them arrived together and entered the hall. The master hadn't come yet. The senior brothers who had arrived early were sitting on the futons chatting. They greeted each other when they saw them.
After one year of entry, I am already very familiar with it.
Su Ze picked up a futon and sat down, listening to several senior brothers exchanging information.
He has been staying at the school to practice this year and has nothing to say. Most of his senior brothers have been outside this year and have places to communicate.
A few people chatted for a while, and suddenly Duan Zhengrong, the eldest son of the second grade, said: "I went to Mangcang Mountain to station for a period of time in the second half of the year. I heard from one of my clan brothers that Director Zhang of Qingmingyuan mentioned something to the dean. Speaking of the battle to open up the Mangcang Mountains, the number of reconnaissance missions on the Mangcang Mountains at the frontline base suddenly increased by more than ten times during this period, and missions were issued to reconnoiter the lairs of the Nascent Soul Demon King deep in the Mangcang Mountains. "
He said in a low voice:
"I'm wondering if the dean will restart the war to open up the Mangcang Mountains?"
Everyone's expressions immediately became solemn. Ji Jinglun nodded and said: "The sudden increase in reconnaissance missions tenfold is indeed suspicious, but it does not prove that it is possible to start a pioneering war unless the price of war materials changes drastically. By the way, have you paid attention to Dan? What’s the price of medicine and talismans?”
"No."
"Me neither."
Su Ze spread his hands and said:
"I have been practicing at home this year and have not paid attention to these things."
"But I can let my followers investigate."
"Well, check."
Su Ze nodded and immediately sent a message to Su Ke using Feixun, asking him to adjust the price fluctuations of various war materials on the school market.
Next, their topic turned directly to the pioneering war. Su Ze listened to their chat and gradually understood what the pioneering war was.
The so-called expansion war, as the name suggests, expands the map and adds new territories.
The war to open up the Mangcang Mountains is to open up territory within the Mangcang Mountains.
The Mangcang Mountains are a huge mountain range that stretches for millions of kilometers. It is located in the southernmost part of the sect represented by the school. It is rich in resources but inhabited by monsters.
