this infinite world

Refining Qi is still a mortal, only building the foundation is the beginning of transcendence.

This is a clear division of realms marked in the cultivation books. After all, strictly speaking, there are actually only four realms of cultivation, Qi refining, foundation building, the golden elixir stage corresponding to the fourth level, and the immortal level corresponding to the saint level. .

As a stage of accumulating and refining energy, the Qi refining period actually has no clear boundaries. As long as the cultivator has made certain progress in cultivating energy, it can be regarded as successful Qi refining, which is more about the cultivator's own energy. The natural transition of accumulation... And for orthodox cultivators, foundation building is an important milestone.

Foundation building means that the cultivator can transform the energy accumulated in the body into true energy, which is a complete transformation of the cultivator from the outside to the inside. Whether it is the use of spells, magical powers, magic weapons, rune analysis or energy running speed, it is ten times or a hundred times faster than the Qi Refining level. It can be regarded as entering the palace and officially embarking on the road of cultivation.

The importance of the foundation-building stage is self-evident. It not only requires the quality of the cultivators themselves, but is also a comprehensive test of their talent, state of mind, perseverance, and depth of understanding of the path of cultivation. Each link may have an impact on the foundation-building stage. the key to success.

So far, only Yang Yun and Qi Tengyi in the Zhongzhou team have successfully built a foundation, which in itself reflects the difficulty of building a foundation. And even Cheng Xiao, who has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, dare not say that he will be able to complete this important transformation before the next mission world begins.

"Use formations to help me build my foundation?"

Listening to Chu Xuan's words, Zheng Zha's eyes suddenly lit up: "That's a big help, Chu Xuan. This saves me a lot of things."

As the core figure of the Zhongzhou team, Zheng Zha's efforts and achievements in cultivation are obvious, but the challenges and pressures he faces are also huge. On the one hand, he needs to invest a lot of time and energy to optimize his own genes and shape and perfect his perfect body; on the other hand, Zheng Zha also needs to spend time practicing the Seven Strikes of Purple Thunder and developing and improving his own self-created skills. .

The shaping of a perfect body is a long and difficult process that requires constant tempering and adjustment; and the complexity of the Seven Strikes of Purple Thunder is extraordinary. To truly master and use it freely requires profound understanding and continuous practice; regardless of Whether it is "destruction", "falling stars" or "magnificent thunder that cuts off the universe", all require Zheng Zha's deep understanding of the nature of martial arts...

In a situation where energy needs to be invested in many aspects, even if Zheng Zha is a martial arts genius, it is impossible for him to achieve perfection in all aspects. So when he heard that Chu Xuan could use this method to help him save time in foundation building, Zheng Zha readily agreed.

"...Wait a minute, Chu Xuan, you said you want to use this formation to help Zheng Zha build his foundation, but how to do it specifically?"

However, compared with Zheng Zha's optimism, Yang Yun instantly remembered the scene in the original work where Chu Xuan used the magic cannon to help Zheng Zha build the foundation, and couldn't help but think more carefully: "Although there are also examples of external forces forcibly building the foundation in the cultivation books. method, but the core of this formation should be the word 'suppression', which sounds very professional and inappropriate. Shouldn't it be better to use a formation such as the Spirit Gathering Formation?"

"No problem. The essence of foundation building with external force is the infusion of a huge amount of energy. In terms of Zheng Zha's physical quality, it is enough to withstand the corresponding energy reaction."

Chu Xuan waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Zheng Zha has a strong accumulation, so the conventional spirit gathering array will not have much effect on him. He needs to use a more powerful array to build the foundation. This way Only then can he convert the huge energy in his body into true energy in one step... Considering the function of the formation itself, this formation is obviously the most suitable choice." - If I heard correctly, Chu Xuan seems to Did you just say the word "power"? Such a simple and crude method... Could it be that Zheng Zha was considered a guinea pig because he thought he was thick-skinned and could not be manipulated?

There was a trace of confusion on Yang Yun's expression. He originally planned to ask Chu Xuan to return to the Cursed Plane and ask Setsuna if there was a safer way to use external force to build the foundation. However, looking at it now, it is clear that this guy did it on purpose. He just dug a big hole for Zheng Zha...

When Yang Yun turned his head to look at Qi Tengyi, he noticed that the other party also had an expression that was hesitant to speak. Obviously, Qi Teng, as an orthodox cultivator, had similar confusions and concerns in his heart, but because it was Chu Xuan who made the suggestion, and the atmosphere was so harmonious at the moment, he couldn't express it.

"In other words, this method is actually exclusive to Zheng Zha and does not apply to us?"

Yang Yun and Qi Tengyi both smelled the danger, but everyone else was attracted by Chu Xuan's idea of ​​foundation building and did not notice the waves hidden under the water. Even Cheng Xiao, who had just exchanged a bunch of materials from the Lord God, was quite disappointed when he heard Chu Xuan's explanation: "I thought I could save the time to build the foundation in this way, so that I can build it earlier." I used a new weapon and saved a lot of effort... but the result is still not good."

"For now, this method of foundation building is only suitable for Zheng Zha."

Chu Xuan gently pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose. For some reason, a cold light flashed unexpectedly on the lenses of his glasses, which made Yang Yun next to him tremble: "I need a lot of research data to verify the corresponding Guess, but if this method of foundation building is successful, then I will consider promoting it in the future..."

——No, Chu Xuan, are you a little too extreme?

Yang Yun stared at Chu Xuan in stunned silence, not knowing what to say for a moment. The most unsettling thing is that Zheng Zha, who heard that he could save the effort of building foundation, didn't care about Chu Xuan's specific words at all, but was completely attracted by the beautiful prospects described by the other party, just like Cheng Xiao before. He even nodded and said in agreement: "Yes, yes, my body is indeed very strong. It is appropriate to use a stronger formation to build the foundation... How do you say that? Real gold is forged with fire."

——It is indeed gold forged by fire, but I don’t know if you will regret it...

Hearing that Zheng Zha's words were full of expectations for the future and confidence in his own abilities, Yang Yun and Qi Tengyi looked at each other again and wisely chose to remain silent.

The next moment, Qi Tengyi contacted the main god without saying a word under a B-level branch plot supported by Zhao Yingkong. Anyway, for him who had no special requirements, it was no problem to exchange for this set of Five Spirit Suppressing Pulse Diagrams; and Yang Yun Ze floated to Zheng Zha, who was beginning to enjoy the wonderful life after his successful foundation building, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Zheng Zha..."

"Ah? What's wrong?"

"You have to think carefully about what to exchange for your two A-level side plots this time." (End of Chapter)
