Pagoda Immortality

The foundation-building stage is more difficult than the Qi-training stage.

The difficulty lies in that in the Qi-training stage, only the corresponding spiritual energy needs to be transformed into true energy to be used for acupuncture, while in the foundation-building stage, not only the corresponding spiritual energy needs to be transformed into true essence, but also the most essential part of the true essence needs to be used to condense the foundation.

This most essential part is called Yuan Jing, which is very rare. It takes a huge amount of true essence to extract a little Yuan Jing, so the foundation-building stage is more time-consuming than the Qi-training stage.

Although the life span of the cultivator will soar by 200 years to 300 years after the foundation-building stage, if there is no sufficient opportunity and talent, most of the foundation-building cultivators will not be able to break through to the Jindan stage within 300 years.

They can only watch their lifespan run out and die unwillingly.

Of course, those geniuses with single and double spiritual roots are blessed by nature. They only need to condense one or two foundations, so the breakthrough is relatively simple. If they do not die prematurely, it is not difficult to break through the Jindan stage.

Unfortunately, Lu Li did not receive the favor of heaven. Not only was he not as good as the geniuses with single and double spiritual roots, he could only envy the pseudo spiritual roots with four or five spiritual roots.

Therefore, he, who had tasted the sweetness, was eager to get more such pills.

After being excited for a while, Lu Li finally calmed down and began to count the things he could use to prepare for going to the mysterious valley. According to his speculation, there might really be a secret place there, or it could be said that there was once a cave of a master.

In any case, one fact cannot be erased, there is a big monster there.

Lu Li guessed that this big monster was most likely a second-level spirit beast, because Liu Changhe was chased to the valley by a first-level top-level monster beast. The top-level monster beast stopped chasing after it reached the outside of the valley, which was enough to show that the monster beast in the valley was stronger than it.

Six low-grade flying swords, a medium-grade Seven-Star Sword Order, a medium-grade Fiery Sun Mirror, a low-grade Qingmu Rope, a low-grade Qingmu Pearl, and a second-low-grade Blood Soul Banner.

There were a total of ten magic weapons, but only four of them could be used in combat.

After putting away the magic weapon, Lu Li counted the spiritual stones on his body. Last time he went to Chuyang Peak, Lu Li was the biggest winner. He got 390,000 spiritual stones from the five corpses and the loot from the three elders.

Excluding the 50,000 he gave to Wu De and the expenses along the way, he still had more than 330,000 left, which was considered a small fortune.

The next day.

Lu Li went to Wanbao Pavilion alone. The Wanbao Pavilion here was a level higher than that in Donghuang. There were countless mysterious instruments and talismans, and there were also many kinds of elixirs.

However, there were fewer magic weapons. There were only a few inconspicuous low-grade magic weapons, and the price was quite expensive. One cost 40,000 to 50,000 spiritual stones. Lu Li just took a look and skipped them.

After a round of shopping.

Lu Li spent 5,000 low-grade spiritual stones with a painful feeling, bought a bottle of second-level low-grade Yangyuan Pill, and left Wanbao Pavilion.

Yangyuan Pill has a miraculous effect on recovering internal injuries, and carrying it with you can be prepared for any eventuality.

After leaving Wanbao Pavilion, Lu Li was strolling on the street when he found that there was a tail following him. It seemed that he was greedy after seeing him buy so many Yangyuan Pills at once.

However, this person's cultivation was too low, only the seventh level of Qi training, and Lu Li didn't even have the desire to attack.

However, this person was a little ungrateful. He followed him all the way to Zuixian Tower and called three or four companions at the same time, which made Lu Li's heart suddenly angry.

His eyes turned slightly and he left the city without making a sound.

The five people were overjoyed when they saw this, and hurriedly followed him stealthily, thinking that they were doing it very secretly, but they didn't know that they were about to face a disaster.

After leaving the city, Lu Li went into the grove, and they immediately rushed in like bandits and surrounded Lu Li. The fierce man in the lead grinned: "Boy, don't blame us, blame you for being too young, and you don't even know the rule of not showing off your wealth!"

The other people also laughed when they heard this, and under the shouting of the strong man, they all sacrificed talismans and smashed Lu Li.

For a moment, the air was filled with dust and smoke, and the rumbling sound of explosions was endless.

After the black smoke cleared, several people couldn't wait to go forward to collect the results of the battle, but unexpectedly, a golden shock wave suddenly rippled out from the mist, and with a few puffs, several people were instantly split into two, rolling on the ground, screaming.

Hearing the screams, Lu Li couldn't help but feel extremely annoyed. Suddenly, a cruel look flashed across his face. The five fingers of his left hand grabbed downwards and turned slightly.

In an instant, something terrible happened.

A series of blood-colored silk threads flashing with spiritual light flew out from several sections of the body, quickly gathered in Lu Li's claws, rolled and entangled, just like winding wool, and soon condensed into a thumb-sized blood bead.

Looking at the five people again, all their skin and flesh shrank, and their wide-open pupils were full of horror. They had already died.

Lu Li turned his palm over, letting the blood drop quietly floating on his palm, staring at it, and suddenly opened his mouth and swallowed the blood essence directly.

Next, he frowned and shook his head, "The cultivation is too low, there is no effect at all." Then he flicked his finger, and several flames rolled out, instantly burning several people to ashes.

He just performed the Nine-Turn Blood Refining Technique of taking blood from the air. As for why he wanted to eat the blood essence, it was mainly to verify that the blood essence mentioned above contained a large amount of pure true qi and true essence, which could be used to improve cultivation.

However, the cultivation of several people was too low, and there was only true qi in the blood essence, but no true essence, which had no effect on him.

After releasing his spiritual sense to investigate and confirming that no one was spying around, Lu Li left the jungle in a flash.

After returning to the room, Lu Li started to practice in seclusion.

The speed of extracting essence to build the Dao platform was very slow. Lu Li did not dare to waste any time, otherwise, with his nine spiritual roots, he did not know when he could reach the peak of foundation building.

In a blink of an eye, another nine days passed.

On this day, Lu Li was suddenly interrupted by a knock on the door outside. When he opened the door, he saw that it was Liu Changhe.

Liu Changhe was wearing a light blue shirt today. Although his breath was still a little unstable, his complexion had improved a lot. Liu Changhe did not see Lu Li's face clearly that day. When he saw Lu Li at this time, he was shocked.

This person looked so young that he could not see the bottom of the eighth level of Qi training. He was shocked and bowed his hands and saluted, "Hello, senior."

It is almost a convention in the cultivation world that in the Qi training stage, if you are three small realms higher than yourself, you can be called a senior. In the foundation building stage, you have to be called a senior for a small realm, because a small realm in the foundation building stage includes four small stages.

Of course, it all depends on the individual. If you don't call it, no one will force you.

Lu Li nodded, "Come in and talk."

Lu Li did not feel strange about Liu Changhe's politeness. He walked to the soft couch and sat down, smiling, "Fellow Daoist, please sit down."

Liu Changhe had seen many arrogant young geniuses. He did not think there was anything wrong with Lu Li's lukewarm attitude. He nodded and sat down: "I wonder what you want me to do?"
