The Immortal Way is Fierce

Chapter 157 The Seventh Level of Qi Refining, the Foundation of the Great Dao

Returning to the training room, Zhang Jingyuan directly took out 360 spirit stones and formed the Zhoutian Star Formation.

Well, that's right, Zhang Jingyuan has now decided to be extravagant.

The previous time, in order to test whether his body could practice the skills of his previous life, he used spiritual coins to set up a large array of stars in the sky to increase the spiritual power content in the house and assist his practice, but unfortunately, it did not have any effect. role.

But that was mainly because the "Swallowing Sea Yantian Jue", as the top skill in the world of cultivation, was really not something that he, a young monk who had just started practicing Qi, could practice. It didn't mean that there was anything wrong with the Zhoutian Star Formation.

No, even with the spirit coins as the base, the Zhoutian Star Formation still successfully attracted the power of the stars in the sky, more than doubling the spiritual power in the room in a short period of time, and the power of the stars it attracted was actually originally It is much more refined and condensed than the spiritual power wandering between heaven and earth.

Such star power, after simple polishing and tempering by the three great suns in his body, can be turned into the golden spiritual power of the Five Qi Chaoyang Jue. It is no exaggeration to say that he can get twice the result with half the effort.

It’s just that although the Dao Alliance stipulates that ten thousand spirit coins can be exchanged for one spirit stone, in fact all the spirit coins are made from leftover materials of spirit stones, and their spiritual power content is not even one ten thousandth of that of spirit stones.

Someone once did a test and found that the spiritual power contained in ten thousand spiritual coins was only one-third of that of spiritual stones.

As for the remaining two-thirds, the Tao Alliance naturally collected seigniorage.

This also led to the fact that the Zhoutian Star Formation he deployed last time lasted too short, and it completely exploded in just a few seconds, wasting more than 300 spiritual coins.

However, the actual Zhoutian Star Formation actually consumes very little. After all, the monks do not rely on the spiritual stones arranged in the formation to practice, but rely on the power of the stars drawn down by the formation to practice.

In other words, these 360 ​​spirit stones are just an introduction responsible for guiding the power of the stars, and the actual consumption itself is not much.

This applies even to the Spirit Gathering Array, etc. The consumption of spiritual stones in the Spirit Gathering Array is mainly used to attract more spiritual power from heaven and earth, rather than directly providing spiritual power to the monks.

If you just rely on the spiritual power in the spirit stone, I'm afraid there is no formation that can be faster than practicing directly with the spirit stone.

However, if you want the Zhoutian Star Array to achieve better results, spirit stones are definitely not the best choice. Instead, the Dou Tian Star Banner, which is refined from the star cores when the stars die, serves as the base of the array.

In Zhang Jingyuan's previous life, he had such a set of Dou Tian Star Flags. When he set up an array with this flag, the sky was really filled with starlight. All the surrounding stars would emit dazzling light and come straight towards the Dou Tian Star Flags, forming a line. The Starlight Falls looks like the sky and the earth hanging upside down, it is truly magnificent.

Sitting cross-legged on the formation eye, Zhang Jingyuan activated the Zhoutian Star Formation, and saw the three hundred and sixty spiritual stones flashing at the same time, and the subtle and invisible power of the stars descended directly down, following each spiritual stone. The stones correspond to each other.

At this moment, a faint fluorescence appeared on these spirit stones. These fluorescences followed the formations, blended with each other, and finally converged on Zhang Jingyuan's body. The fluorescence shone and flickered non-stop.

Zhang Jingyuan used all his strength to drive the Five Qi Chaoyang Technique, and it seemed that even the sacred sycamore tree could sense it. The only leaf on the tree slowly stretched out, and crystal clear green light emitted from the leaf patterns. A large amount of starlight was instantly attracted and turned into a substance. There is a general mist.

The green light reflected on the dense mist, and a burst of dazzling light burst out from his dantian, a strange light.

Zhang Jingyuan couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling extremely comfortable all over his body.

This familiar feeling is the feeling of Tianlinggen. The cultivation speed is at least four times that of the Four Spiritual Roots. Moreover, coupled with the complete Zhoutian Star Array, the spiritual energy that enters his body can be transformed without much transformation. Turn into this golden spiritual power in his body.

To be honest, when Zhang Jingyuan said that his cultivation speed was ten times faster than before, there was absolutely no exaggeration.

He was fully confident that he would enter the seventh level of Qi Refining and begin to condense the foundation of the Dao before enrolling in the Taoist Academy.

Even Zhang Meifeng seemed to feel the sufficient power of the stars, her breathing became obviously much faster, and every time her nose moved slightly, a large amount of star power poured into her body.

Seeing this, Zhang Jingyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he once again activated the Zhoutian Star Formation more violently.

Although this will consume more spiritual stones, as long as Zhang Meifeng can recover as soon as possible, it will be worth it.

Just when Zhang Jingyuan returned home and practiced hard, Ruan Baizhi sat blankly on the counter, thinking for a long time.

What Zhang Jingyuan said to her just now and the choice he made seemed to awaken something in her.

To be honest, the past few months as the shopkeeper of Deji Hall can almost be said to be the happiest period of her life. Not to say carefree, but at least she does not need to do anything for her own livelihood and practice. Things she didn't enjoy doing.

When she recalled those days, she felt like a rat in the sewer, dirty, pitiful, and full of sin.

But as Zhang Jingyuan said, as a monk, practice is always the most important. Is she really willing to be the shopkeeper of Deji Hall for the rest of her life?

No! How can this be!

She promised her father that she would go further on the road of spiritual practice, master more powerful power, and live well and live as long as possible.

Thinking of this, Ruan Baizhi suddenly became much more free and easy. Zhang Jingyuan was willing to give up. There were thousands of spiritual stones at his fingertips. Why couldn't she see through this?

Besides, there is no conflict between being the shopkeeper of Deji Hall and practicing cultivation, but she will need to focus more on her practice in the future instead of being the shopkeeper of Deji Hall.

In addition, wasn't the reason why she was willing to stay in Deji Hall just because Zhang Jingyuan promised her that she could learn some alchemy skills?
But now that so much time has passed, has she really studied with all her heart?
Apparently not.

In fact, Feng Xiangyun also mentioned two words specifically, asking him to come and stay while he was refining alchemy. The implication was that he planned to teach him some alchemy techniques.

But I always declined because I had something to do at the counter.

Although the counter was indeed very busy, Zhang Jingyuan also said that she could recruit a waiter, but she was reluctant in her heart, feeling that Deji Hall had too many secrets for outsiders to get in.

But thinking about it on the other hand, if she recruits a man, she can not only concentrate on learning alchemy, but maybe in the future, she can help Feng Xiangyun refine some medicines such as golden gun and immortal pills.

Doesn't this mean that Deji Hall can expand? After all, Zhang Jingyuan just said that the reason why Deji Hall cannot expand is because there are no more alchemists.

Moreover, today is different from the past. With Zhang Jingyuan's current reputation in Yunhua Star, any person who is not discerning would dare to peek into Zhang Jingyuan's business. Does he think that his head can be stronger than An Qingxian's foundation-building Dzogchen?
As for the Jindan monks, the business of Deji Hall should not be able to catch the eyes of the Jindan monks.

The more she thought about Ruan Baizhi's eyes, the brighter they became. She directly wrote some simple recruitment requirements on the paper and posted it at the door. Winter turns to spring, three months have passed, and soon it is the season of recovery for all things.

As one of the few luxury houses in Yanyang City, the house Zhang Jingyuan rented can be said to be surrounded by mountains and rivers, with abundant treasures. As spring approaches, even the willow trees at the door slowly begin to sprout.

Closing his eyes, Zhang Jingyuan looked inside himself and saw that his Dantian had turned into a small pool of water, emitting a dazzling golden light, and he couldn't help but reveal a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.

He is now a seventh-level Qi Refining monk, and has officially condensed the foundation of the Great Dao.

Well, yes, this pool of water is the foundation of his avenue.

If others look at it, they will naturally think that his foundation of Dao is inferior.

After all, he now has the three spiritual roots of water, fire and gold. It stands to reason that the foundation of the great road condensed should not only have the water phase formed by the water spiritual root, but also the fire phase of the fire spiritual root and the golden spiritual root, as well as the metal phase.

Moreover, the ratio of the three great avenue foundations of water, fire, and gold within the Dantian should be the same as the ratio of Zhang Jingyuan's three spiritual roots of water, fire, and gold. The closer the fit, the more the different powers of Zhang Jingyuan's three spiritual roots can be exerted. , can it be called top grade.

But Zhang Jingyuan's family knew about his own affairs. Sooner or later, he would wash away the remaining fire and gold spiritual roots and condense the fire and metal phases on the foundation of the great road. That would be called a brain disease.

And no one can see the sacred sycamore tree in Zhang Jingyuan's body, otherwise they would think there is something wrong with Zhang Jingyuan. He does not have wood spirit roots, and yet he has condensed a sycamore tree. This is not a serious illness.

As Zhang Jingyuan's thoughts moved, he saw that the surface of the water pool suddenly had rough waves, rippling and gushing out as if a dike had burst.

This golden spiritual power traveled throughout Zhang Jingyuan's body, including all the acupoints, internal organs, meridians, and meridians. Even every branch and root of the body was washed and cleansed by this golden spiritual power.

At the same time, Zhang Jingyuan's whole body was trembling, his veins were bulging, his blood was surging like the sea, and his meridians were full of vitality, just like an inflated balloon.

I don’t know how long it took, but the golden spiritual power from before seemed to be ebbing out from various places on his body. Hundreds of rivers filled the river, and thousands of streams returned, and finally gathered into a pool again.

However, it is obvious that this pool of water is a full circle larger than before, and is now almost thirty feet in diameter.

Generally speaking, regardless of the quality of the foundation of the avenue, as long as its area reaches a hundred feet in radius, it can be called the eighth level of Qi refining, the ninth level of Qi refining in two hundred feet, and the Great Perfection of three hundred feet in Qi refining.

This is also the reason why it is said that only when the foundation of the avenue reaches three hundred feet can it be said that there is hope for foundation building.

Of course, for monks who have perfected the Qi Refining Dzogchen, it does not mean that they must build the foundation when the foundation of the Dao reaches three hundred feet. They can continue to polish the foundation of their own Dao.

After all, the larger the square area of ​​the foundation of the avenue, the greater the possibility of establishing the foundation, and the higher the strength and potential after the foundation is established.

It's just that most monks don't have that long life to continue polishing the foundation of the avenue.

Seeing that their life span is approaching and the last hurdle to break through to build a foundation is about to disappear, few monks can continue to polish the foundation of their own path indifferently.

Only a small number of talented Qi Refining Dzogchen monks with strong family backgrounds will polish the foundation of the avenue to more than 500 feet, and only when there is almost a 70% chance, will they start building the foundation.

As for Zhang Jingyuan, in his previous life, he only started building the foundation at 700 feet, and then succeeded in one fell swoop. But in this life, he can't be worse than his previous life, right?

In addition, with the nourishment of spiritual power, the sacred sycamore tree not only grew five or six leaves, its roots grew rapidly, and its area also reached an area of ​​thirty feet as large as a golden pool.

After all, this sacred sycamore tree is also the foundation of his great avenue.

To be honest, the number of leaves added by the sacred sycamore tree was really out of proportion to the growth of the tree's roots. Zhang Jingyuan was a little skeptical that the leaves of the sacred sycamore tree had other wonderful uses.

It's just that there are too few leaves now, so he really can't do experiments. He should wait for the sycamore sacred tree to grow for a while, and then talk about it later.

Just when Zhang Jingyuan was about to leave seclusion, meet Zhao Mingyang for a meal and exchange information on each other's current situation, he suddenly saw a golden sword and jade slip flying towards him rapidly.

"You loser bitch, if you can't spend all these spiritual stones, can't you share some with me?"

Zhang Jingyuan stretched out his hand, and the golden sword and jade fell directly into his hand, and he said with some envy.

His realm had improved so quickly, so the old problem came up again. He didn't have enough spiritual stones to spend, and he was about to face a financial crisis.

Although he had nearly 500 spiritual stones before, it cost 360 yuan to set up the Zhoutian Star Array. After three months of practice, it is estimated that the Zhoutian Star Array can be used for another month at most. , it will be completely declared scrapped.

There is no way, he now has the three spiritual roots of water, fire and gold plus the wood attribute heavenly spirit root. The cultivation speed is much faster than the normal heavenly spirit root. In addition, Zhang Meifeng is also constantly trying to attract the Zhoutian star formation. The power of the stars that came over.

Adding the two together, the consumption will naturally be much greater. It is normal that this spiritual stone is not durable.

However, Dejitang can contribute almost thirty spirit stones in profit every month, but he has not taken it yet. However, the most important thing is that as a seventh-level immortal, he still has three hundred spirit stones every year, but he has not taken it yet. .

Yunhuaxing Yamen has no right to issue these three hundred spiritual stones. If he wants them, he can only take them out directly when he goes to Yunhaixing.

By the way, he also has a foundation-building pill and a bottle of mysterious-level elixir, which are also available.

Especially the Foundation Establishment Pill. He still needs some years before he needs to use the Foundation Establishment Pill. This means that if he lacks spiritual stones, he can sell the Foundation Establishment Pill first.

Zhang Jingyuan even has some ambitions. If his Dao foundation is better than that in his previous life, can he succeed in building the foundation by himself without the assistance of the Foundation Building Pill?

Putting away these miscellaneous thoughts, Zhang Jingyuan directly opened the Golden Sword and Jade Slip.

He took a casual look and couldn't help but be startled, and said subconsciously: "Someone from the Feng Clan is here, and they want to see me by name?"
