This tributary of the Ming River is small, which is only relative to the entire Ming River.
Generally, it is difficult for monks in the later stages of foundation building to cross this small tributary of the Ming River. One of the reasons is the problem of spiritual power.
This is one of the reasons why Li Qianqing planned to get the second opportunity in the later stage of foundation building.
To cross this tributary of the Styx during the foundation building and Qi refining stages, the method used is basically to take a boat.
In the State of Lu, there are special spiritual ships that go to the Kingdom of Ming Dynasty or the Kingdom of Fanyang every year. The Ming Kingdom is in the east and the Fanyang Kingdom is in the west. There are three small countries between the two countries, and they are divided by two small Ming Rivers.
The two tributaries of the Ming River are not much different. Generally speaking, the tributary of the Styx River that needs to be crossed to reach the Ming Dynasty is wider.
Zhao Guozhong occasionally has special spiritual ships heading to the Ming Dynasty, but they are very few, while Yue Guozhong does not have them at all. The reason why Vietnam is long from north to south and narrow from east to west is naturally related to the tributaries of the Styx River.
In his previous life, Li Qianqing took a special spiritual ship from the Lu State to the Ming Dynasty. At that time, he was also in the late stage of foundation building, but he was already over 150 years old at that time, unlike now. He is not yet one hundred and five years old.
In his previous life, it was also because of this opportunity that he was lucky enough to successfully form an elixir and become a monk in the elixir-formation stage.
As time goes by, Li Qianqing has seen the endless river water in the distance. The water of the Minghe River has a characteristic. It does not make the slightest sound when flowing, even when there are waves on the surface.
Looking at it from a distance, people who don't know better think it is a pool of stagnant water that will not flow.
When he came to the edge of the Ming River, Li Qianqing did not go over immediately. After putting away the flying spiritual weapon, he sat down on the spot, holding the spiritual stone in both hands, and began to restore his spiritual power.
When the recovery of spiritual power is completed, he will directly start crossing the Ming River. The flying spiritual weapon that has been put away will not be taken out again. On the Ming River, except for the spiritual wood that needs to be watered with the water of the Ming River, In addition to the special spiritual boat that was created, using ordinary flying spiritual weapons to cross the Ming River would also increase one's own burden.
When a monk crosses a river individually, it is best to fly directly in the air.
Half a day later, Li Qianqing had recovered all the consumed spiritual power.
"It's really slow to restore spiritual power here."
Sit cross-legged in a normal place. Even if there is no spiritual energy around, if you use spiritual stones to restore spiritual power, the speed is still good.
Li Qianqing looked into the distance again, and then started to cross the river!
Above the Ming River, the higher you fly, the greater the spiritual energy consumed. Therefore, Li Qianqing, who was flying in the air, kept a distance of about ten feet from the surface of the Ming River. This was a true low-altitude flight.
Between one foot and three feet is more reasonable. The higher the height, the more spiritual power is consumed, but it is not good to fly directly against the surface of the Ming River. There are also threats below the Ming River. If it is too low, it will be difficult to react.
The way he is flying now consumes almost three times more spiritual power than when flying normally.
According to the speed at which his spiritual energy was consumed, if he wanted to cross the Ming River, he would only have about 40% of his spiritual energy left.
This is why ordinary monks in the late stage of foundation building cannot cross the Ming River. The spiritual energy consumption is too large. If they choose to cross in a narrower place, even if they can barely reach the other side of the river, in the spiritual energy It is actually quite dangerous when it consumes a lot of money.
When he entered the late stage of Foundation Establishment, his spiritual power quality was three points better than that of ordinary Peak Establishment monks. After a period of practice, he also practiced the "Chongyuan Gong" to improve his spiritual power. More robust.
If he had chosen a narrower place to cross the Ming River, he might still have close to 50% of his spiritual power left.
This is not important to him now. As long as he does not go to the country to cross the Ming River, it is almost the same. If he is at the peak of the middle stage of foundation building, the location of crossing the Ming River really needs to be carefully chosen.
Continuously flying eastward at low altitude, so far Li Qianqing has consumed 30% of the spiritual power in his air.
Now he has arrived at the center of this tributary of the Ming River.
Be more careful here. The threat from below is greater. Be prepared for sneak attacks from below at any time.
If you are lucky, during the process of crossing the Ming River, apart from flying, which consumes a lot of spiritual energy, there will be no other places where spiritual energy is consumed.
Li Qianqing's luck in crossing the Ming River this time was not particularly good, but it was not bad. At least he did not encounter any attacks during the first half of the crossing.
‘Here it comes! ’
Li Qianqing quickly noticed the movement below. Not to mention ordinary late-stage foundation-building monks, even normal early-stage pill-building monks would be hard-pressed to sense the threat from below as quickly as he did.
This is due to the strength of his spiritual consciousness. You must know that the spiritual consciousness strength of a normal monk in the middle stage of pill formation is only about 70% of his.
Having been prepared for a long time, when he saw a strange fish with a mouth full of fangs showing up, he slashed out with the flaming blade condensed in his right hand.
One flame cuts off the river!
Without any hesitation, Li Qianqing directly used one of the magical powers of the "Nine Flame Art".
The first magical power that has been cultivated to great perfection is itself a powerful magical power against a single enemy. It is extremely powerful!
Even for monks in the early stage of forming pills, it would be difficult to catch his move.
The flame-burning blade directly split the head of the strange fish in half. The flame disappeared the moment it touched the water of the Ming River.
"Solved."
After killing the strange fish, Li Qianqing continued eastward without even looking at it.
The monster fish just now is in the late second level. In the Ming River, its strength is actually more powerful than the ordinary monks at the peak of foundation building. If Li Qianqing's strength is only at the normal level, he just encountered this monster The fish was already dead when it struck.
What do the monks from the Five Kingdoms call this thing?
It seems to be a monster big-headed fish...
Li Qianqing knew that the species living in the Ming River were actually not monsters, but genuine Ming tribes.
Whether it is the Monster Clan or the Ming Clan, they are all alien races. For most human monks, they will do it immediately when they meet.
This tributary of the Ming River is very small, and there are basically no Ming people above the third level. Therefore, the strange fish just now is already very powerful here. If the third level Ming people will appear in small numbers, , he would not cross the Ming River directly. It would be a better choice to take a special spiritual boat as in his previous life.
During the second half of the flight.
He also encountered a Ming tribe, but compared with the previous strange fish, this Ming tribe was weaker. It was only the second level, and it was easier to deal with it without delaying his progress. flight.
Above the Ming River, seeing Li Qianqing on the other side, he speeded up again.
In the past, his speed for crossing the Ming River was the most reasonable. If he accelerated again, the consumption of spiritual power would be greater, far exceeding the benefits brought by increasing the speed, but it doesn't matter now.
“We’re finally here.”
After Li Qianqing landed, he found a place to recover his spiritual power. He did not have a map of the Ming Dynasty. According to his memory, this should be Xiangyuan County of the Ming Dynasty. It was one of the ninety-nine counties of the Ming Dynasty. Its area was almost half that of the Zhao Kingdom, and it was among the largest counties in the Ming Dynasty.
The place where he got the opportunity was in Yanyu County of the Ming Dynasty, which was still far away from here.
As one of the two major countries in the Five Kingdoms, every county in the Ming Dynasty has at least a Danjie-level force. For Li Qianqing, he must be careful when moving here. If he encounters a mid-Jiedan monk Everything was fine, except for ordinary late-stage pill-forming monks, who he didn't have much confidence in dealing with.
……
Zhao Guo.
Xiangshui County.
Li Xingwei, who was originally engaged in business in Changqing Mountain, came to Changqing Mountain.
Li Xingwei ranks thirty-seventh among the Xingzi generation. The monks from the previous generation and Lizi generation are not ranked after thirty. The newly born monks in the family are mainly from the Xingzi generation and Xunzi generation. At the time of the Xingzi generation, it was also when the number of mortals in the family began to increase in large numbers, so from the Xingzi generation onwards, there were more monks.
Currently, the lowest ranking of the Xingzi generation is forty-three. There are basically no monks of the Xingzi generation in the Li family. The Xunzi generation of monks has already been ranked fifty. The next one to appear is fifty. one.
Li Xingwei, who ranks thirty-seventh in his generation, is sixty-four years old this year.
With four spiritual roots, he reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining at the beginning of last year. Since he had practiced the body refining technique in his early days, his Qi and blood did not officially start until he was sixty-five years old. decline.
It has been more than a year since he reached the peak of Qi refining, and he has also been preparing for foundation building for more than a year. Even though he has four spiritual roots and still has no chance of building a foundation without using the foundation building pill, he still has a pitiful chance of building a foundation. To build a foundation, it doesn't matter even if you sacrifice your life. Of course, it's still good to survive if you fail to build a foundation, so that you can contribute to the family for the rest of your life.
When he returned to Evergreen Mountain, he wanted to use the Li family monks to build the foundation cave to build the foundation.
Dong Dong——
Li Xingwei knocked on the stone door of Li Qianqing’s cave.
After about three breaths, there was no reaction at all.
"Isn't the Thirteenth Uncle here?"
If you are in retreat, there must be a sign outside the cave that you are in retreat. If you don't have anything particularly important, don't disturb me. If you are in the cave normally, the door should be open by now.
In the absence of the patriarch, the first foundation-building elder that Li Xingwei thought of was Li Lilong.
This is the same thing as Li Lilong. The fourth grandfather can also open a cave for him, of course, this is in the absence of the thirteenth uncle.
"If Grandpa Four is not here, we can only go to Brother Seventeen."
There are a total of three foundation-building monks in Evergreen Mountain, and it is impossible for them all to be absent.
Soon, he came to Li Lilong's cave.
When he knocked on the stone door this time, the stone door finally opened.
"Fourth Grandpa." When he saw Li Lilong, Li Xingwei bowed first and then said, "The patriarch is not here, so I came to find you."
"Your thirteenth uncle is out. Experienced." Li Lilong explained simply.
Regarding Li Qianqing's outing for training, there was no need to hide it from the clan members, and of course there was no need to explain it specifically.
This kind of news should spread naturally within the family.
The Thirteenth Uncle went out to practice...
Li Xingwei repeated in his heart, and soon he thought that it was rumored that the last time the Thirteenth Uncle went out to practice, it seemed that he was at the ninth level of Qi Refining At that time, if this outing was in the late stage of foundation building, it is possible that the thirteenth uncle just wanted to find an opportunity to form a pill.
Although he didn’t have much contact with the Thirteenth Uncle, the Thirteenth Uncle was a legend in his memory.
When he first became a monk, it was Li Qianou who guided and trained him. If he had become a family monk more than ten years earlier, even if he was a monk with four spiritual roots, he would have been mentored and trained by Li Qianqing.
If the three spiritual roots wanted to form an elixir, it would be like him trying to build a foundation with the four spiritual roots. However, he felt that Grandpa Thirteen’s possibility of forming an elixir was much greater than that of him building a foundation.
"Xingwei, are you planning to build a foundation?" Li Lilong didn't know what Li Xingwei was thinking, so he asked directly.
"Yes, Fourth Grandpa, I want to build the foundation. Next year my energy and blood will begin to decline."
Li Lilong nodded. So far, the four spiritual root monks in the family have tried to build the foundation. There is only one, and Li Xingwei is the second one.
In the current Li family, the three spiritual root monks in the family basically have the opportunity to build the foundation, and the fourth spiritual root monks want to cultivate to the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining before their Qi and blood decline, so they have to work harder than others.
In the previous Li family, the Four Spiritual Root monks wanted to build a foundation, but their own efforts were not enough, because the family's resources were limited, and the only resources that could be redeemed every year were those to help refine Qi. The resources from the mid-term breakthrough to the late stage of Qi refining are still very scarce and expensive, which makes them even less likely to build a foundation.
Going out to experience and try to gain opportunities was the only choice for the four spiritual root monks of the Li family.
As for the Five Spiritual Root monks who want to have a chance to build a foundation, let alone their top foundation-building immortal cultivating family, even the Pill Formation Immortal Cultivation Family cannot solve it. The cultivation of the Five Spiritual Root cultivators is really too slow. It would be a waste to give them resources to practice, unless this Five Spiritual Root guy is the child of the Danjie monk, so that the Danjie monk can solve his cultivation problems by himself.
"Have you finished reading the book on foundation building experience?" Now there is a book in the Li family that summarizes the family foundation building monks' foundation building experience. Li Qianqing took the lead in writing it. The family's qi and blood have not declined, and they have cultivated to the point of refining qi. All nine-level peaks can be redeemed for viewing without consuming any contribution points.
Li Xingwei nodded. When he reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, he immediately went to the family treasury to redeem this book. Although the book is not very thick now, Li Xingwei believes that it will become more and more popular in the future. It's getting thicker.
"Okay, come with me."
"Yes, Fourth Grandpa."
Li Lilong took Li Xingwei to the cave where the family monks built the foundation. After a medium-grade spirit stone opened the spirit gathering array with all its strength, he closed the stone door of the cave and left.
In addition to the foundation-building pill, there are also spiritual objects in the family that can help a little bit with foundation-building.
These spiritual items must be exchanged to obtain them.
The only ones who can redeem these spiritual objects are the third spiritual root monks at the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining. They have cultivated to this level and have accumulated a lot of contribution points in their hands.
The people of the Four Spiritual Roots are different. Just by cultivating to the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining before their Qi and blood decline, they have basically consumed all the contribution points in their hands, and this requires better luck. In this case, if they are unlucky and redeem the elixirs that can be used to break through to the late stage of Qi refining, but they fail to break through and are stuck in this state, their cultivation speed is already slow, and they will have even less time.
Compared to the three spiritual root monks in the clan, the four spiritual root monks really cannot rely on any external objects to build their foundation. (End of this chapter)
