Chapter 242 The Third Floor of Foundation Building
On this day, Zhou Ling came to the master’s courtyard.
I brought it to Master, the fine spiritual wine newly brewed by my mother.
And told her about building her own spiritual place.
Zhou Ling planned a small courtyard and planned to keep it for his master in the future.
With the master sitting at home, maybe this magic circle can be saved.
Of course, this is just his temporary thought, and the master may not agree.
In his heart, he naturally still hopes that Master can live in the Zhou family in the future.
“You are serious about it!”
Hearing Zhou Ling’s words, Zi Ling smiled and did not comment.
"Looking at your aura, you are not far away from breaking through the third level of foundation building."
"You can reach the first level in half a year by practicing the Five Elements Qianyang True Technique. This efficiency is still very good!"
"You can be considered as my disciple."
Looking at the aura on Zhou Ling's body, Zi Ling said with slight satisfaction.
Hearing this, Zhou Ling couldn't help but smile and said, "It's all Master who taught me well!"
However, I feel helpless to have such high demands on my master.
His speed is already very fast in the inner courtyard of Xuanyuan Taoist Academy.
According to Master’s intention, it seems to have barely reached the passing mark.
You must know that he has made such progress now with the help of talents such as [Five Elements Thunder Gang] and [Spiritual Affinity], as well as Five Elements Heart Fire and other assistance.
Generally, even inner court disciples, even if they have good talents and top-grade or top-grade spiritual roots, can reach the first level within a year, which is already good.
However, this time he went to Qingyang Fairy City to participate in the Tianwei assessment.
The disciples of the top aristocratic families that I have seen have much higher cultivation than him.
Children from aristocratic families like He Yunshan and Bai Jing were two or three years older than him and were already in the late stages of foundation building.
He Yunshan has already reached the eighth level of foundation building.
Of course, the skills practiced by these children of aristocratic families are of high quality.
We have enough resources since we were young, so this kind of progress is reasonable.
Zhou Ling's current progress is already rare in Xuanyuan Taoist Academy.
Especially when he practices the Five Elements Qianyang True Secret.
The difficulty is much higher than that of ordinary monks.
With the speed at which he has broken through the first level in a few months, he can definitely rank among the top five in the inner court.
"These are two Jade Clear Pills that I exchanged for my Taoist training points. They can help break through the foundation building bottleneck."
"I guess you are almost done breaking through. You and Xin'er will take one pill each!"
Zi Ling took out a pill bottle and handed it to Zhou Lingdao.
“Thank you, Master!”
Taking the elixir bottle, Zhou Ling cupped his hands and thanked him.
It seems that the master has been paying attention to the progress of the two people's cultivation.
Master now only has himself as his disciple.
I haven’t gone out to give lectures, so I probably won’t have many points in a year.
But in exchange for the Yuqing Pill, which helps break through the bottleneck of the lower level of foundation building.
Zhou Ling was also very grateful to Master.
"I still have 300 Taoist points on hand. Although it's not much, I can exchange it for some items."
"I can't use it anymore. Find some time and see what's suitable." Go and exchange it."
Zi Ling said again.
Then he handed a jade plaque to Zhou Ling.
“Thank you, Master!”
Zhou Ling took the jade token and thanked him.
Three hundred points is a lot, enough to exchange for two second-level high-grade elixirs and some second-level materials.
Of course, now with the refining of the five elements natal sword.
With the help of Five Elements Sword Qi, he can also refine second-level high-grade elixirs.
So there is no need to exchange for elixirs.
However, with these three hundred points, plus my own points, it is enough to exchange for a second-level top-quality magic circle.
Subsequently, Zhou Ling asked his master some questions about the cultivation of Five Elements Qianyang Zhenjue, and then left the small courtyard after burning a stick of incense.
After leaving the small courtyard, Zhou Ling went to his own workshop in the Taoist courtyard.
Now, under the management of Bai Ji and Song Yue, the workshop seems to be in good order.
In the past few months, Bai Ji's cultivation has also successfully entered the eighth level of Qi training.
"Greetings, Master!"
"Greetings, Master!"
Seeing Zhou Ling's arrival, the two of them put down their crafting utensils and bowed to Zhou Ling.
Now that Zhou Ling has become Tiangong Si Tianwei, the reputation of the two of them in the Taoist Academy has been greatly enhanced.
Nowadays, there is an endless stream of people who come to Bai Ji to refine treasure weapons every day.
And the price is several times higher than before.
Bai Ji is simply too busy.
Sometimes you can only call on other disciples to help build the magic weapon.
"Song Yue, Bai Ji, next month is the Taoist Academy Foundation Seed Assessment, you must strive for it with all your strength."
Zhou Ling nodded and smiled with the two of them.
He also obtained the top grade Foundation Establishment Seed and obtained the Heavenly Grade Foundation Establishment Pill.
This is the opportunity to achieve the foundation of heaven.
Therefore, this assessment is extremely important for the freshmen of the Taoist Academy.
If you can win the first prize and obtain the Heavenly Grade Foundation-Building Pill, then the rest of your training will be smoother.
If you don’t get the heavenly quality, the earthly quality is also good.
After all, even if Xuanyuan Taoist Academy is full of geniuses, its ability to build foundations is already better than 90% of its disciples.
Tianpin is extremely rare.
Not only the Tianpin Foundation Building Pill, but also many other conditions are required.
“Yes, Master!”
“Yes, Master!”
They both replied in unison.
“This is the method for drawing the second-level mid-level and low-level inscriptions. In the next month, you will practice hard.”
“It contains my analysis and comments, which will be useful to you. Very helpful!”
Zhou Ling took out two jade slips and handed them to the two of them respectively.
The imprints in this jade slip are all analyzes he wrote after understanding through [Intermediate Observation] and [Intermediate Analysis].
This experience is absolutely correct, and practicing it will get twice the result with half the effort.
Other teachers will never have it in their hands.
It will definitely be of great help to the two of them to quickly improve their imprinting level in a short period of time.
Originally Zhou Ling wanted to give it to them after a while.
After all, the two of them are not like him, and they have something to worry about.
So we still have to work steadily and practice step by step.
But this assessment is crucial.
That’s why I gave it to them in advance.
“Thank you, Master!”
“Thank you, Master!”
The two took the jade slip and expressed their thanks with joyful faces.
Especially Bai Ji, who has already mastered the method of refining the first-order top quality imprint.
It’s just that the cultivation level is a little low, and it’s a bit difficult to refine.
But after joining Zhou Ling's sect, resources gradually became abundant, and his cultivation progressed significantly.
Today, the success rate of refining the first-level top quality imprint has reached over 60%.
But he also knew in his heart that if he wanted to achieve good results in this assessment, it would not be enough to just rely on the first-order best imprint.
Now, Master’s second-level imprint comes at the right time.
“There is no need to feel any pressure, just practice step by step!”
Zhou Ling reminded again with a smile.
The strength of this year’s group of disciples is not weaker than last year’s.
Moreover, there are Liu Yu and Ye Zhilan from last year who are competing for the Tianpin Foundation Establishment Pill. So the competition will be more intense.
With Bai Ji's cultivation at the eighth level of qi training, the chances of getting into the top three are probably slim.
However, his cultivation has progressed rapidly this year. Zhou Ling feels that even if he does not get good results this year, with such progress next year, there will probably be no problem in the top three.
As for Song Yue, she really wants to compete.
"Master, don't worry. With your experience, I will definitely be able to get the title. Otherwise, you will be so embarrassed!"
Song Yue said confidently.
She was originally talented and her cultivation level was not low.
Belongs to the popular candidate to win this time.
Now that Zhou Ling has the experience and support, he is naturally at home.
Full of confidence.
Zhou Ling nodded and told them that if they didn't understand anything, just ask themselves.
Both of them responded in unison.
Zhou Ling also knew the situation between the two of them.
Bai Ji was obviously under a lot of pressure and a little eager for success.
However, he naturally understands this mentality.
But in the process of cultivation, there is no need to rush. Only by slowly polishing can he have a solid foundation that allows him to let nature take its course.
But Song Yue was ideal in all aspects, with no problems.
According to this progress, he will always be a genius of the Taoist Academy in the future.
If you can get the Heavenly Grade Foundation Building Pill this time, you can prepare to build the foundation in September.
After leaving the workshop, Zhou Ling came to his monastery.
After drinking a cup of spiritual tea, we came to the practice room.
Sitting cross-legged on the futon, he then took out the Yuqing Pill given by his master.
After these days, the mana in his body has already been abundant, and he can attack the third floor of the foundation at any time.
It takes almost 130 points to exchange for Yuqing Pill.
Among the second-level elixirs, it is not difficult to refine, but the elixir recipe is difficult to find.
However, the species exchanged in Xuanyuan Taoist Academy are relatively common elixirs.
After all, with the assistance of the Jade Clear Pill, it will be easier for the foundation-building monks to break through the small realm.
The last time Zhou Ling broke through to the second level of foundation building, it was mainly due to the Qianyang True Fire absorbing the soul of the Golden Soul Burning Sky Flame that he could directly enter the second level of foundation building.
If it is the third level of foundation building to the middle stage of foundation building, you need the assistance of Dayu Qing Dan.
The points exchanged for this are more, about 150 points.
"This elixir is also a commonly used elixir. It is obviously not cost-effective to exchange it like this. Let's look back and see if we can exchange it for this Yuqing elixir recipe?"
Zhou Ling thought to himself.
After all, besides him, Xin'er and her mother will also need to use it.
If you exchange it with the Taoist Academy every time, a lot of points will be consumed.
Therefore, it would be the most cost-effective if you could refine it yourself.
If the Taoist Temple does not have it, then go to the Tiangong Department to look for it, there will definitely be one.
In addition, in June, in addition to the foundation seed assessment of the outer courtyard.
There is also a battle prowess competition among the four inner courtyards.
He won the title of Xuanyuan Taoist Academy leader last year, so he will also participate this year.
He had already become a disciple of Tianwei and Taoist Academy, so this kind of competition was dispensable to him.
But thinking about the generous rewards from the competition.
He still wants to participate.
After all, establishing a family in the future requires investing a lot of resources.
And it will take Xin'er the next nine years to successfully condense the golden elixir.
This also requires a lot of resources.
So now he wants to seize every opportunity to obtain resources.
The current level of cultivation on the second level of the Foundation Establishment has no advantage over the inner courtyard disciples of the other three Taoist monasteries.
After all, all the inner court disciples are participating in the competition this time.
For example, Tianxia Taoist Academy, Jiutian Sword Academy, and Feilong Taoist Academy all have disciples in the later stages of foundation building participating.
Moreover, they all focus on combat power, which is no better than Xuanyuan Taoist Academy.
This one is much stronger at the same level.
After all, Xuanyuan Taoist Academy disciples major in techniques.
Of course, for Zhou Ling, he has not fallen behind at all in terms of combat.
Coupled with the Five Elements Spiritual Flame and the Five Elements Life Sword, his combat power is not the second level of foundation building as it seems on the surface.
Against mid-stage foundation building, there is still an absolute advantage.
Only the other three Taoist temples are in the later stages of foundation building, and they are all geniuses.
Basically, most of them have unique methods, some are spirit bodies, sword bodies, etc. None of them are easy to deal with.
However, Zhou Ling is naturally not afraid of these.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ling exhaled.
Now with his reputation in Qingyun Fairy City, if he participates in this kind of competition, he will definitely receive great attention.
After all, he is a heavenly guard.
This identity is completely different from that of other Taoist inner courtyard disciples today.
If you can defeat Zhou Ling, it will undoubtedly be a great honor.
Of course, Zhou Ling would not allow this to happen.
Since he is already an absolute genius in terms of weapon refining, he cannot lag behind in terms of combat effectiveness.
I feel that the spiritual energy in the training room is extremely rich at this moment.
Zhou Ling immediately ran the Five Elements Qianyang True Secret, and suddenly, wisps of spiritual energy poured into his body like a whirlpool of spiritual energy.
Talents such as [Aura Affinity] and [Five Elements Thunder Body] are also activated.
The rich spiritual energy swarmed towards him even more, and Zhou Ling was about to throw the Yuqing Pill into his mouth.
The pure and rich spiritual energy was absorbed into Zhou Ling's body like substantial ripples of water.
As he breathed and inhaled, he was surrounded by five colors of light.
With the blessing of the [Five Elements Thunder Gang Body], the five elements of spiritual power turned into a torrent of extremely pure spiritual power and began to impact the bottleneck in the air sea.
Generally speaking, the improvement of the small level realm is the process of expanding the scope of the Qi sea and making the spiritual power in the Qi sea more compressed and purified.
Since Zhou Ling focused on heavenly grade foundation building, his bottlenecks were far better than those of ordinary foundation building monks.
When Zhou Ling just started to attack, the bottleneck in the sea of qi was as stable as a mountain. Facing the turbulent spiritual power like the waves of the sea, the sea of qi was unmoved.
Under successive impacts, it remains indestructible.
[You are refining the Yuqing Pill, the elixir stress +1, the power of the Yuqing Pill +2]
But at this time, as the power of the Yuqing Pill is melted and absorbed, and the activation of the [Elixir Stress] talent.
A vast amount of medicinal power poured into the Qi Sea.
In an instant, the rock-solid bottleneck was quickly washed away by the force of this medicine.
The entire Qi Sea slowly expanded.
Zhou Ling immediately drained his spiritual power and merged into the sea of air, breaking through the third level of the foundation in a moment.
His Qi Sea also expanded by nearly one-third, and the amount of spiritual energy he could hold doubled.
After the successful breakthrough, Zhou Ling continued to operate the Five Elements Qianyang True Secret.
Consolidate the realm you just broke through.
After all, Qihai is not stable enough now and needs to be stabilized.
Avoid causing the realm to fall.
At the same time, Zhou Ling felt that the spiritual energy around him was rapidly depleting.
It seems that there is no time to make up for the large amount of spiritual power consumed by his breakthrough.
Fortunately, Zhou Ling had also seen the experience of other foundation-building monks breaking through bottlenecks, and was already prepared.
Zhou Ling immediately took out the pill bottle and threw an Erdan Zengyuan Pill into his mouth.
[You are refining and absorbing the Zengyuan Pill, the elixir stress +1, the power of the Zengyuan Pill +2]
As the power of the Zengyuan Pill is refined, a pure The incomparable medicinal power turns into spiritual power and merges into the meridians in the body.
Then it fell into the sea of air and condensed into pure spiritual liquid.
Zhou Ling quickly absorbed and fused it.
Three days later, Zhou Ling, who had stabilized his realm, stood up and left the training room.
