Pagoda Immortality

Wu De chuckled: "It's hard to say this. A person can't just have hands, right?"

Hearing what Wu De said, Lu Li felt that this matter was really not simple. However, with his own cultivation level, even if he wanted to do something, he couldn't do anything.

After drinking a few drinks alone in silence, Lu Li suddenly said: "I almost forgot about business, old man. I have already reached the perfection of Tianji Realm, but I don't know how to build the foundation. Do you think...?"

"I don't know how to build a foundation? Your master Lu Li is really... Bah, I'm really convinced by you." Halfway through his words, Wu De suddenly remembered that this kid is Lu Li. He had been fooled around by this guy before, and he couldn't help but think. Lu Li glanced at:

"If you want to build a foundation, you must understand one thing. Otherwise, even if you build a foundation, you will be confused and have no idea what it means."

"What's the matter?" Lu Li asked immediately.

"Why build the foundation?"

Lu Li was stunned: "Isn't it to improve your cultivation?"

"Hmph! If you think like this, even if you build a foundation, you still won't be able to find the root of the avenue!"

"What's that for?"

"I tell you, foundation building is to build the foundation of the Dao. Why build the foundation? The purpose is to avoid Dao tribulation."

"Dao Jie?"

"That's right, practitioners are thieves who steal the resources of heaven and earth. They only know how to take but don't know how to give back. And the later they get, the more they take. The way of heaven is the incarnation of the rules that protect the balance of the world. In order to prevent practitioners from breaking the rules, When a practitioner touches certain thresholds, a heavenly calamity will be sent down as a punishment. If you pass it, you will be one step closer to the great road. If you cannot pass it..."

Is there such a thing?

After hearing this, Lu Li was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.

According to Wu De, practitioners will experience three heavenly tribulations from practicing Qi to ascension, namely the thirty-nine heavenly tribulations in the Nascent Soul stage, the sixty-nine heavenly tribulations in the integration stage, and the ninety-nine annihilation thunder tribulations in the transcending tribulation stage. .

The three heavenly tribulations were all divine tribulations, that is to say, they were aimed at the souls of the monks. You must know that the soul is the foundation of a person. If the soul is destroyed, there will be no chance of reincarnation.

Therefore, practitioners have developed a training system for heavenly tribulations.

This system is what it is now, Qi training, foundation building... system.

The purpose of foundation building is to build an altar in the Dantian that can transform spiritual energy into true energy, also called Dao foundation.

Once the Tao Foundation is fully formed, the true essence can be condensed into the Golden Elixir. The Golden Elixir evolves again to become the Nascent Soul. Shaping the Nascent Soul is the ultimate goal of foundation building.

Because after the formation of the Nascent Soul, the soul can be injected into the Nascent Soul to cope with the bombardment of the soul by the Three Nine Heavenly Tribulation. The more stable the Nascent Soul is, the greater the hope of surviving the heavenly tribulation.

As for the subsequent sixty-nine heavenly tribulations and the ninety-nine annihilation thunder tribulations, at that time, the monks' souls and bodies had undergone qualitative changes, and they had mastered magical powers and a trace of the power of laws. The souls could hide directly in the main body, using the monk's main body as its body. The barrier comes to answer the calamity.

Of course, these are still too far away for Lu Li.

Now he just wanted to know how to condense the Dao Foundation, so he asked: "Then how to condense the Dao Foundation?"

Wu De smiled and said, "It's very simple. Use the Foundation Establishment Pill. If nothing unexpected happens, one Foundation Establishment Pill can make a single spiritual root monk successfully build the foundation."

"Foundation Pill."

Lu Li's eyes suddenly lit up and he thought it was a good thing he met this old man. Otherwise, with his cautious character, he wouldn't dare to ask about this or that, and he didn't know how many detours he would have to take.

He was sincerely grateful and said, "Thanks for the advice!"

Wu De's detailed narration really benefited Lu Li a lot.

"Haha, you kid, being so polite makes me a little uncomfortable. I still like your mean look before." Wu De shook his head and said.

"Hey, it's hard to look back on the past. You and I have never known each other before, so how can I trick you again?"

"Oh? Really, that body technique..."

Lu Li was stunned, thinking that this old man was still thinking about his body skills, but even if he wanted to give it to him now, he couldn't give it to him. He said helplessly: "You may not believe it, but I really don't have my body skills. I gave it to one of my brothers. If I can see him again in this life, I will definitely ask for it and give it to you..."

"Hey, forget it, as long as you have your heart, I'm just talking casually."

"All right."

Lu Li drank another drink, "I'm going out to see if there are any foundation-building pills for sale. Do you want to come with me?"

Wu De shook his head, "These casual cultivators won't sell Foundation Establishment Pills. If you want Foundation Establishment Pills, you can buy them at the auction ten days later, but the price may be astonishingly high."

"Astonishingly high? How high?"

"A spirit stone of at least three thousand lower grades."

"So expensive!"

Lu Li frowned slightly. He only had 4,000 spirit stones in total now. According to Wu De, he would have to prepare at least nine foundation-building pills. Wouldn't it take 20,000 to 30,000 spirit stones to suffice?

Seeing Lu Li frowning, Wu De sighed and threw out a storage bag, "There are a total of eight thousand spirit stones in it. They are all my belongings. You can take them and spend them."

Lu Li was greatly moved when he saw this, and without any pretense, he put the storage bag away and said, "Old man, I will never thank you for your kindness. I will return these spiritual stones to you!"

Although these spiritual stones are not enough, they are still better than nothing.

Seeing that Wu De was already a bit drunk, Lu Li stopped disturbing him. After saying goodbye, he came to the square again, walked around the square, and finally found Gu Hong's stall.

Gu Hong was meditating with his eyes closed. He seemed to sense Lu Li coming over. He opened his eyes and asked, "Brother, are you ready to go shopping?"

Lu Li smiled faintly, "Okay, okay, but I would like to ask, brother, are the elixirs good for sale here?"

Along the way, he found that there were quite a few people selling strange and weird things, but not one selling elixirs, which made him a little confused. And he doesn't have anything valuable on him now, except for a lot of first-level elixirs harvested from the medicine garden.

Gu Hong said: "There are very few alchemy masters in casual cultivation. The elixirs we have are sold directly to Taixuan Taoist Sect."

He pointed to the tower in the middle and said, "There is a place on the first floor of the tower dedicated to buying elixirs. If you want to sell elixirs, you can go there. But the price is up to them, and there is no room for bargaining."

"Oh?" Lu Li's eyes lit up, and he cupped his hands and said, "Thanks for clarifying my doubts, brother. I'll go take a look right away."

There is a circular hall at the entrance of the first floor of the tower. There are many rooms distributed in a ring around the hall. There is a bar counter on the right side of the hall. Behind the counter, an old man wearing a blue robe is sleeping soundly.

Lu Li walked in and looked around for a while before he noticed the old man's presence. He lay down by the counter and coughed twice. It wasn't until the old man stood up sleepily that he handed over his hands and said:

"Senior, I heard that you are buying elixirs here, right?"

Seeing that Lu Li was only in the Qi training period, the old man was a little uninterested, but seeing that he was still young, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, showing a bit of surprise: "The elixir is collected, but...it's less than a thousand spirit stones. This is a deal, don’t you want me to accompany you here?”
