Chapter 162 Foundation Establishment Divine Sense and Foundation Establishment Seed Assessment (Please subscribe)
After continuing to refine for seven days, Zhou Ling tried to draw three or four high-grade sword imprints every day.
Use talents such as [Intermediate Observation], [Intermediate Analysis], and [Innate Talent] to continuously observe and analyze to improve your proficiency in the sword imprint.
Finally gained proficiency in the sword imprint.
Drawing the sword imprint three or four times a day also consumes a lot of his soul.
But also with the assistance of the talents [Soul Training] and [Soul Like a Knife], the cultivation of the soul is also progressing rapidly.
This day.
In the training room.
Zhou Ling placed the spiritual paper and spiritual ink and took out the spiritual pen.
The pattern of the sword's imprint appeared in the sea of consciousness, and he began to draw.
Soon, Zhou Ling gradually drew the seven ranked sword inscriptions.
I feel a mysterious light flashing on the spiritual paper.
But at this time, my consciousness was flowing away quickly like a dam releasing flood.
The bright inscriptions on the spiritual paper seemed to be freed from their restraints in an instant.
A light flashed.
The entire imprint collapsed instantly.
Whoosh.
A puff of green smoke emerged from the spiritual paper.
“It’s just the last step!”
Feeling a stinging pain from the sea of consciousness, Zhou Ling muttered helplessly.
Looking at the broken imprint on the table, he reached out and rubbed his face to cheer up.
[You are drawing the Pinjian Seal, your soul is like a sword +1, your soul is +2, and your Pinjian Seal proficiency +1]
After recovering a little, he continued to observe the spirit paper. imprint marks on it.
[You are observing the grade sword imprint, intermediate observation +1, grade sword imprint proficiency +1]
[You are analyzing the grade sword imprint, intermediate analysis +1, grade sword imprint +1] Sword Seal Proficiency +1】
Based on the analysis results, Zhou Ling thought for a moment and quickly summarized the next fine-tuning plan.
However, he felt a dull pain in his head and did not continue drawing.
Then he took out a pill bottle and poured out a black pill.
This is the soul nourishing pill, with two faint pill lines flashing on it.
This soul nourishing pill was specially refined by Wang Xin to restore his consciousness.
It was also refined today.
After all, the materials for Soul Dao Pills are relatively scarce. Fortunately, Xuanyuan Taoist Academy has no shortage of various materials.
Of course, the price is not cheap either.
Then he threw the elixir into his mouth.
Operation of magic, refining and absorbing medicinal power.
[You are absorbing the power of the soul-nourishing elixir, the elixir stress +1, the power of the soul-nourishing elixir +1]
As the power of the medicine spreads rapidly, Zhou Ling, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, had blue veins popping up on his forehead. , with a look of pain on his face.
Originally, the Soul Nourishing Pill of the Erdan Pattern contains abundant divine soul power. Coupled with the stimulation of [Elixir Stress], the surging medicinal power turned into a torrent of soul power and violently washed away the surrounding area. Ling Shihai.
Zhou Ling could only continue to run the "Qing Hui Spirit Nourishing Technique" to refine the medicinal power.
But the overwhelming power of the medicine left him no time to refine and absorb it.
[You are absorbing the soul power of the soul nourishing pill. The more frustrated you become, the braver you become +1, and the proficiency of "Qinghui Soul Nourishing Technique" +20]
At this moment, [the more frustrated you become, the braver you become] comes into play, Zhou Ling I felt a cool breath suddenly emerge in the sea of consciousness.
The soul seeds in the sea of consciousness flashed with light, quickly absorbing the soul power of the soul nourishing pill.
In just a few breaths, Zhou Ling's painful and ferocious complexion began to relax, and his complexion gradually recovered.
Half a quarter of an hour later, as the medicinal power was completely absorbed and refined, Zhou Ling opened his eyes with bright eyes.
"The power of the soul-nourishing pill with the Erdan pattern is so powerful!"
Zhou Ling exhaled, and was shocked by Xin'er's rapid improvement in her alchemy level.
Originally, Xin'er could only refine a soul-nourishing pill with one elixir pattern. Over the past few days, the dark fire spirit body in her body has recovered.
The level of alchemy has also been significantly improved.
Zhou Ling didn't think much about continuing to run the "Qing Hui Soul Nourishment Technique" to stabilize the sudden surge in soul cultivation.
On the soul seed, the shadow of the fire maple tree has grown several red leaves.
This is a situation where the first level of "Qing Hui Soul Nourishing Technique" has been cultivated to a perfect state.
Zhou Ling was overjoyed. He could feel that at this moment, his soul cultivation was very different from before.
It can be released freely even without the help of [Spiritual Soul as a Knife].
This is something that can only be done when the soul enters the foundation building.
Originally, practicing the "Qing Hui Soul Nourishing Technique" laid a solid foundation for his soul.
With the help of [Soul Training], [Soul Like a Knife], and [Illusion Simulation] soul talents, he will make considerable progress in his soul every day.
Coupled with the fact that he obtained soul nourishing pills from Wang Xin from time to time, he quickly raised his soul to the ninth level of Qi training.
This time, I entered the first level of Dzogchen with the "Qing Hui Spiritual Cultivation Technique".
His spiritual consciousness cultivation level directly broke through the foundation building.
This was something he never expected.
Although it mainly benefits from taking a soul-nourishing pill every few days.
Coupled with the auxiliary effects of talents such as [Spiritual Consciousness Training] and [Spiritual Soul as a Knife], his consciousness continues to improve.
But Zhou Ling was still overjoyed to enter the foundation-building consciousness.
Soon his consciousness quietly released, passing through the room in a moment.
It was already nightfall outside, and there were several figures walking on the bluestone path in the dormitory area.
The surrounding dormitory rooms all have the function of the spiritual consciousness next door.
Zhou Ling did not visit, but his spiritual consciousness stretched along the bluestone slab until he was about sixty feet away, and then stopped.
After passing this area, you will exit the dormitory area.
His consciousness does not dare to pry into other areas at will.
Immediately, his consciousness quickly retreated like running water.
“Now if the spiritual consciousness is extended with all its strength, it can reach a distance of a hundred feet!”
Withdrawing the spiritual consciousness, Zhou Ling murmured with joy on his face.
Generally, the soul of a foundation-building monk is enough to extend a distance of a hundred feet.
Although his spiritual consciousness has just entered the foundation building, but with [spiritual training] and [spiritual soul like a knife], even ordinary monks in the early stage of foundation building cannot compare with him.
"It should be easier now to refine the sword seal and spirit seal."
Zhou Ling murmured.
Originally the refined sword imprint was just a little short of the mark, but now the cultivation of spiritual consciousness has been greatly improved.
Zhou Ling intuitively felt that the Sword Imprint, which was originally too difficult for him to do his best, did not seem to be too difficult at this moment.
And when the "Qing Hui Soul Nourishment Technique" is used to cultivate the soul attack, combined with the "Spiritual Soul is Like a Knife", the power will be able to reach a higher level.
By that time, it might even be possible to defeat the Foundation Establishment Monk.
Of course, this is just Zhou Ling's idea.
Now in the Taoist Temple, he is living a comfortable life, and he does not have to worry about meeting any foundation-building monks.
Immediately, Zhou Ling laid out the spiritual paper again, picked up the spiritual pen, and continued to draw the sword seal.
As the divine consciousness and spiritual flames were laid out at the same time.
Soon, a sharp aura flashed on the spiritual paper.
“It’s done!”
Zhou Ling’s face was full of excitement.
As the last node was successfully condensed, the sword seal flashed with a faint golden light.
Like a golden sword.
"This awareness is enough to draw an additional spirit seal!"
Zhou Ling felt it carefully and thought to himself.
With the addition of a spirit seal, the power of this sword imprint can be increased by 20 to 30%.
The power of controlling the spirit sword will also increase a bit.
Then, Zhou Ling did not dare to be careless and continued to observe and analyze.
Make sure that when drawing on the appliance, you can get it right the first time.
After all, sword plate equipment is valuable.
Two passes cost almost two mid-grade spiritual stones.
In addition, there were three middle-grade spiritual stones with water and earth attributes that he absorbed and refined.
In addition, these days cost a lot of money.
In addition to the daily spiritual food, there is also the cost of the meat of two spiritual beasts, which is also a big expense.
Now, there are only five middle-grade spiritual stones left in hand, plus three hundred low-grade spiritual stones.
Such an expense is too much for Zhou Ling!
The only things Xu Qiang earned were the Hunyuan Shield and three hundred spirit stones from last time.
“After the Foundation Establishment Seed Assessment is over, go to Xu Qiang’s place and have a look! Take more orders.”
"Or let Sun Dajie take the order yourself, and then find Xu Qiang to cooperate!"
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the imprint, Zhou Ling thought to himself.
Then, I sat cross-legged in meditation and recovered.
The next day, early morning.
In front of Zhou Ling, a green jade formation plate flashed with faint golden light.
A small golden sword energy field was formed around it.
It seems as if the sword energy inside it can be stimulated at any time.
“The sword plate is finally ready!”
Zhou Ling’s face was filled with joy.
However, now he cannot directly activate the sword disk, and still needs Wang Xin to help him set up a portable sword formation.
Only then could he control the sword formation with the help of the formation disk.
Afterwards, Zhou Ling put away the formation disk and left the training room.
·······.
One night's practice consumed a lot of energy, and Zhou Ling was already so hungry that his stomach growled.
After Wang Xin came over, the two of them went straight to the cafeteria.
The cafeteria is also extremely busy in the morning.
Zhou Ling bought meat buns, soul eggs, soul porridge, etc., and then found a place to sit down.
"Brother Ling, this way." Not far away, Sun Dajie greeted Zhou Ling.
Zhou Ling and Wang Xin went over immediately and sat at the same table with Sun Dajie.
“Brother Ling, the Tiandao Academy has released some tasks these days, have you read them?”
Sun Dajie said as he ate the meat buns.
“I am busy practicing now and did not pay attention to the Taoist mission!” Zhou Ling said with a smile.
These days, he also knows that the Taoist Academy will announce some tasks every once in a while. If the disciples of the Taoist Academy complete these tasks.
You will be able to obtain corresponding Tao point rewards.
Daofen is the best thing for Taoist disciples.
As long as you have enough Tao points in your hand, you can exchange various cultivation resources with the Taoist Academy.
Including foundation building pills, high-level exercises, etc.
Take the dormitory where Zhou Ling lives now as an example. He has to turn in thirty low-grade spiritual stones to the Taoist Temple every month.
But if there are Tao points, only three Tao points are enough.
Of course, obtaining Tao points is not that easy.
"The most attractive task announced this time is to recruit dozens of skill mages to go to the Star Sea Region."
"Especially the four major monks who major in skills are even more popular."
"You can get thirty points every month, plus some training resources!"
"It's a pity that we don't recruit a puppet master!"
Sun Dajie said helplessly.
"Star Sea Region?" Zhou Ling murmured after finishing the meat buns.
"The Star Sea Territory is a third-order star territory! It is a realm developed by our Taoist Academy and has a lot of resources."
Sun Dajie introduced it to Zhou Ling.
Zhou Ling nodded and thought to himself, "For now, let's practice step by step. When we get stronger, we may try it in other realms." Looking at the treatment of thirty points, it seems good, but Zhou Ling was not tempted.
Now that my strength is limited, there is no need to rush to other realms.
And there is also a realm gate passage in hand.
It was given to him by his master, who has some foundation there. It might be easier if he goes there by himself.
Of course, to activate the Five Elements Thunder Gang Body as soon as possible, sufficient resources are needed.
“Don’t worry, I will consider taking on the mission again when my cultivation level improves a bit.” Zhou Ling smiled again.
After the three of them finished eating, they left the cafeteria and headed to their training quarters.
·······.
On September 12th, the foundation seed assessment came as scheduled.
Early in the morning, many disciples had come to the Taoist Square.
Zhou Ling and Wang Xin are also among them.
On the jade platform, there are six Taoist teachers.
Among them were Zhou Ling’s teacher Hu Jiaoxi, Dean Zhong and others.
In front of the jade platform, a magic circle is used to isolate an assessment area.
As Dean Zhong began to announce the assessment rules.
Since the disciples participating in the assessment this time mainly majored in the four major techniques of Dan, Qi, Talisman, and Formation.
Therefore, as long as the refined treasure is of the highest grade, it will be the leader.
Of course, the scoring criteria are determined by the six judges.
As the ancient bell rang, the disciples followed the jade tablets in their hands.
Enter the Jade Terrace.
Zhou Ling came to the assessment table No. 16.
Scanning his eyes, he saw that several other disciples around him were also inscription masters.
Looking at Zhou Ling, some young men had a look of contempt in their eyes.
After all, among all the disciples who participated in the foundation building test last time, Zhou Ling was the only one who failed to successfully build the foundation.
The acquisition of this foundation-building seed identity feels a bit unworthy of its name.
“The qualifications of foundation building seeds are very good, and they are basically high-grade spiritual roots.”
"There are even top-quality and spiritual bodies!"
"Twenty-four people can generally refine second-level treasures!"
"Yes! Liu Yu is both a second-level alchemist. , Weapon Refiner!”
“It is indeed a foundation-building seed.”
In the square, many disciples looked at the twenty-four foundation-building seed assessment disciples. Discussed from time to time.
The tone is full of surprise!
No wonder they were able to get the quota for the Foundation Establishment Seed Assessment. Basically, these people have top-grade spiritual root qualifications.
If you have high-grade spiritual root qualifications and go well in all aspects, theoretically speaking, you can reach the level of Nascent Soul.
The speed of cultivating high-grade spiritual roots is five to ten times faster than that of mid-grade spiritual roots.
Especially in a place with abundant spiritual energy like Xuanyuan Taoist Academy, the gap between middle-grade spiritual roots and high-grade spiritual roots will be obvious in less than a year.
Especially the higher the cultivation level, the more obvious the advantage of spiritual roots.
And among these twenty-four people, several are still spirit bodies and have top-quality spiritual roots.
They are definitely the elites of the Taoist Academy in the future.
"Hey, how come there is a seventh-level Qi practitioner like me!"
"This person actually has a low-grade spiritual root. How did he become a foundation-building seed?"
Zhou Ling, who was only at the seventh level of Qi training, suddenly attracted the attention of many disciples.
There is no way, these disciples around me are at the eighth or ninth level of Qi training.
His seventh level of Qi training is really conspicuous.
Furthermore, the foundation building seeds are extremely conspicuous in the Taoist temple, and Zhou Ling and others have already attracted the attention of other disciples.
Compared with other genius disciples, Zhou Ling’s qualifications and cultivation are completely at the bottom.
Even worse than the ordinary disciples of the Taoist Academy.
This also made many people curious about Zhou Ling. Why did he obtain the spot as a Foundation Establishment disciple?
You know, a spot in the Foundation Establishment Seed Assessment is something that many disciples are trying to get.
This means that once you become a foundation-building seed, the resources of the Taoist Academy will be far better than those of ordinary disciples.
In the eyes of most disciples, Zhou Ling is inferior to them.
"With this kind of qualification and cultivation, in our fairy city, there is no chance of being admitted to the Taoist Academy!"
"That's right, this kid is so lucky!"
····· ·.
“How can a disciple of the seventh level of Qi training and a low-grade spiritual root appear on the assessment stage?”
Of course, not only these disciples, but also the judges on the jade stage, looked at Zhou Ling also showed surprise.
Compared with others, this cultivation level is indeed very different.
Only Hu Jiaoxi looked calm.
He knew that Zhou Ling had already tried to refine the Spirit Sealing Forbidden Spirit. Even if his cultivation level was lower, he still had a great chance of entering the top eight.
“Dang!”
As the ancient bell rang, Dean Zhong announced that the assessment had officially begun.
Zhou Ling didn't know that, unknowingly, he was even more popular than Liu Yu and other talented disciples.
The assessment items on the jade platform in front of him also opened their seals.
They are two swords and implements, one of the first grade and the other of the second grade of the low grade.
Obviously let the disciples make their own choices.
There are also spiritual inks, spiritual pens, etc.
As for the inscriptions, there are no regulations. Disciples can choose the inscriptions they are best at to draw.
“To achieve good results, we must refine a low-grade spiritual weapon, and the power of this spiritual sword must reach the second-order mid-grade level!”
Looking at the two Utensils, Zhou Ling thought in his mind.
Sweep with [Intermediate Observation].
He quickly learned the material composition of this spiritual sword instrument.
It is made of lapis lazuli as the main material, mixed with black gold stone, Geng gold, and a small amount of demon blood crystals.
This demonic blood crystal is as black as ink, and its properties are quite similar to the black gold stone.
It is mainly used in magic treasures.
But now it is mixed in the spirit sword.
It is undoubtedly necessary to increase the difficulty of the assessment.
If the disciple didn't observe carefully, he would find the demon blood crystal and remove it.
Even if the imprint can be successfully drawn, its power will be greatly reduced.
Learned about the material composition of utensils.
Zhou Ling continued to open [Intermediate Analysis].
Pass [Intermediate Analysis] and combine it with the second-level imprint that you have mastered.
After some thought, he decided to use the Red Sun Seal to refine this instrument.
On the one hand, the material of this instrument is mainly of gold and fire attributes. The red sun imprint is consistent with its attributes and can maximize its power.
In addition, there are seven nodes in the Red Sun Imprint. Using beast flames and divine consciousness to construct nodes, the effect is far better than ordinary nodes.
In addition, with the addition of a spirit seal, the power is enough to reach the second-level mid-level.
After deciding on the refining idea, spiritual flames appeared in Zhou Ling's hand and injected into the second-level sword.
Remove the demon blood crystal contained in it.
At the same time, on the Jade Platform, other disciples gradually began to make their own preparations.
The first step in alchemy is to process materials, and the first step to draw runes and magic circles is to prepare spiritual ink and so on.
Among them, Liu Yu and Ye Zhilan attracted the most attention.
The two of them are not only at the ninth level of Qi training, but also have special physiques. They are both from famous families, so they have obvious advantages in all aspects.
The person who received the most attention after the two of them was Zhou Ling, who was mediocre and even a bit miserable.
After all, judging from the explicit data, Zhou Ling is definitely at the bottom.
So it seems too special.
At the seventh level of Qi training, he was able to obtain the foundation seed seed quota. The disciples also want to see, what level is he?
“Hey, this is the second-grade spiritual flame.”
"Is he really at the seventh level of Qi training? How can he condense the second-grade spiritual flames at the seventh level of Qi training?"
"I just checked, this Zhou Ling is indeed a low-grade spiritual root, from the remote Lingxia Fairy City, or He is a casual cultivator. "
"You can condense the second-grade spiritual fire at the seventh level of Qi training. You are indeed quite capable."
"A casual cultivator disciple can actually reach this level!"
“With this second-grade spiritual flame, the results shouldn’t be too bad? How can I refine a first-grade high-grade imprint?”
"Maybe it can really become a foundation-building seed."
"Foundation-building seed? Absolutely impossible. I have inside information. Of all the foundation-building seeds tested, he failed the foundation-building test."
< br>"He is only at the seventh level of qi training, and he has low-grade spiritual roots. To enter the top eight is as difficult as reaching the sky!"
Many disciples in the square were discussing.
For a time, Zhou Ling seemed to have become a prominent figure in the Taoist Academy and attracted much attention.
After all, Zhou Ling's current situation is worse than that of many disciples present.
If they can successfully counterattack, it will be a big incentive for them.
To put it simply, Zhou Ling's situation can actually make these disciples feel more sympathetic.
After all, the best spiritual roots and spiritual bodies belong to a very small number.
"Hu Jiaoxi, did you recruit Zhou Ling this time?"
At the judges' table, Taoist Zhang also asked with a rather puzzled expression.
Due to the Xuanyuan Ancient Mirror foundation building test, Zhou Ling was the only one who failed. He also had low-grade spiritual roots and practiced the Five Elements attribute technique, so he was very impressed.
Seeing that Zhou Ling had condensed spiritual flames, and it was still at the second level, he couldn't help but curiously asked Teacher Hu.
“Yes, Taoist Supervisor, although this guy’s qualifications are a bit low, his cultivation understanding is top-notch.”
Hu Jiaoxi nodded and said.
There was still a lot of trust in Zhou Ling in his tone.
Of course, low-grade spiritual roots are also a fatal flaw.
He hoped in his heart that Zhou Ling could achieve good results, so that with the support of Taoist resources, he could successfully build the foundation.
"Being able to cultivate the second-grade spirit flame at this age indeed shows a unique talent for cultivation!"
Dean Zhong, who was sitting in the middle, also praised him loudly.
"It's a pity that it's just a low-grade spiritual root with limited achievements!"
"Whether it can build a foundation is a question. There is no need for the Taoist Academy to waste resources on such disciples who cannot achieve the golden elixir."
>Besides, an old man in a black robe stroked his gray beard, shook his head and said.
"Lin Jiaoxi, you can't say that. A low-grade spiritual root may not be enough to become a Nascent Soul monk!"
Hu Jiaoxi smiled and said lightly.
The old man in Xuanpao was the rune teacher Lin Guan, and he also had considerable interest competition with Hu Jiaoxi in the Taoist academy.
After all, they are both teaching in the Taoist Academy. Whoever brings out disciples with good grades will have high performance in the assessment.
The resources obtained will naturally be more.
And the two of them are in similar situations. If their performance is superior, they may be transferred to the inner courtyard in the next few years.
The grade and treatment are even more different.
"There is no one among ten thousand. It seems that Hu Jiaoxi is very optimistic about this disciple!"
Lin Jiaoxi said with a smile.
“You can see the blood magic crystal on the sword, and the skill of refining the sword is not bad!”
Dean Zhong smiled and said.
Hearing this, several other teachers also looked at Zhou Ling.
As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.
Zhou Ling can quickly discover the existence of the Blood Demon Crystal on a daily basis, which is already at the level of a second-grade inscription master.
At this moment, several teachers were also a little curious.
Can a disciple at the seventh level of Qi training really be able to refine a spiritual weapon?
