Sorry, I'm Slightly Better Below

Chapter 86 Foundation Building

After watching Xianling, Chen Ze felt that his Taoist heart had become much firmer.

After continuing to move forward for about a few miles, a large mountain appeared in front of us.

There are dozens of rays of light blooming on this mountain.

Chen Ze's eyesight was amazing and he could tell at a glance that these were dozens of Cave Mansions carved into the mountains.

"This must be the place where the inner disciples practice in the secret realm."

Chen Ze thought to himself, and then climbed directly up the mountain. Not long after, he came to a Cave Mansion.

The Cave Mansion gate is wrapped in a formation, and there is a dent near the gate, which looks like a switch that turns on the formation.

After taking a look at the dent, Chen Ze took out the inner disciple token from the storage ring and put it in.

The token obviously also contained a formation. Under the influence of the two factors, the restriction at the entrance of Cave Mansion slowly disappeared.

Seeing this, Chen Ze quickly took off the token and stepped into it quickly.

The layout inside the Cave Mansion is very simple, with only a futon, a green lantern and an incense burner.

Chen Ze took a deep breath and felt relieved.

This Cave Mansion is obviously equipped with some kind of formation to gather spiritual energy, and the intensity of the spiritual energy is several times stronger than outside the Cave Mansion.

"What a perfect place for retreat and practice."

Chen Ze praised in his heart, then closed the ban on Cave Mansion, then lit the incense in the incense burner, sat cross-legged on the futon and started practicing.

The purpose of his training this time is naturally to step into the Foundation Building.

The so-called Foundation Building actually means to liquefy the spiritual energy in your body.

In the Qi Refining stage, the monk absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and forms a cyclone in the Dantian.

The higher the cultivation level, the bigger the cyclone.

When the cultivation level reaches the tenth level of Qi Refining, the cyclone reaches its limit.

If you want to go further at this time, you have to compress and liquefy the spiritual energy.

The Foundation Building Pill is the catalyst for the liquefaction of Reiki.

Whether the monk can succeed in Foundation Building depends on two points.

The first point is to break through the richness of the spiritual energy in the environment.

Because the process of liquefying spiritual energy requires absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy to replenish oneself, if the surrounding spiritual energy is not strong enough, it is naturally impossible for Foundation Building to succeed.

The second point is your own talent.

Different monks absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at different speeds.

Some monks are naturally extremely sensitive to spiritual energy and can easily incorporate the spiritual energy in the environment into themselves. This is their extraordinary talent.

Some monks can only absorb bits and pieces of pills, and the digestion speed is extremely slow even if they swallow the pills. Such monks usually make slow progress in cultivation, and it is even more difficult to break through.

…

Chen Ze sat cross-legged on the futon, closed his eyes, and performed basic exercises. After adjusting his condition to the best, he decisively took out the Foundation Building Pill from the storage ring and swallowed it.

After the Foundation Building Pill entered the abdomen, it quickly turned into a pure force and merged into the Dantian. The spiritual power vortex in the Dantian boiled instantly, and then a large amount of spiritual power began to mist, and then settled...

Chen Ze closed his eyes tightly, and at the same time, a large amount of spiritual energy gathered towards him.

It didn't take long for the Spirit Gathering formation to light up in the Cave Mansion, which began to draw spiritual energy from the entire secret realm to replenish the Cave Mansion.

…

One drop...

Two drops...

…

I don't know how much time passed, but the cyclone in Chen Ze's dantian became smaller and smaller, and more and more spiritual liquid precipitated. Finally, the cyclone disappeared completely, and the faint liquid spiritual energy filled the entire dantian.

"It's done!"

Chen Ze opened his eyes with a faint smile on his face.

As expected, with his talent and this cultivation environment, Foundation Building was a natural progression.

Then he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for his father.

Even if a small family monk like my father can cultivate to the tenth level of Qi Refining, it will be difficult to break through the Foundation Building.

First, there is no such a good environment, second, there is no Foundation Building Pill, and third, the talent is not very good...

It is too difficult to overcome these three hurdles. It is no wonder that he regards Foundation Building as a powerful one.

Chen Ze let out a breath and then looked at the incense burner.

Judging from the incense ashes accumulated in the incense burner, he probably practiced in this Cave Mansion for three days.

"It's only been three days... My Foundation Building speed is much faster than ordinary monks."

Chen Ze said to himself.

Since there are still four days left, he can just consolidate his cultivation.

Just entering the Foundation Building stage, the spiritual energy has just finished liquefying. At this time, the state is actually still a bit unstable. If you fight with others, it will return to the gaseous state accidentally, causing the state to fall.

Therefore, Azure Sun Sect's inner disciples who have just stepped into the Foundation Building often continue to practice in seclusion for another month after leaving the secret realm to completely stabilize their realm.

…

Chen Ze closed his eyes and began to stabilize his cultivation.

Four days passed by in a flash, and with the help of Cave Mansion's rich spiritual energy, he completely stabilized his cultivation in the early stage of Foundation Building.

Seeing that the seven days were up, Chen Ze stood up and began to sense the changes in his condition.

First of all, the biggest change is naturally the liquefaction of spiritual energy in the Dantian.

After liquefaction, the first qualitative change occurred in quantity.

Compared to when he was at the tenth level of Qi Refining, the amount of spiritual energy contained in his Dantian at this moment was more than ten times greater.

In addition, there has also been a qualitative change in the amount of spiritual energy mobilized.

With a thought in Chen Ze's mind, a drop of spiritual liquid instantly gathered along his meridians and reached his fingertips, turning into Xuanyang Sword Qi.

This Xuanyang Sword Qi is two feet long, and its color is much richer than at the tenth level of Qi Refining. Although it has not been released, Chen Ze can clearly sense that the power contained in it is far greater than before.

Then Chen Ze took out the Zhiyang Sword from the storage ring and threw it into the air.

Seeing the Zhiyang Sword fall, he immediately stretched out his hand, and suddenly a large amount of spiritual power burst out from his palm, completely wrapping the Zhiyang Sword and locking it firmly in the air.

Chen Ze flipped his wrist, and the Sunburn Sword was swung in the air under the control of spiritual power.

Compared with the Qi Refining stage, the biggest feature of the Foundation Building Stage is that it can control objects through spiritual energy.

After waving for a moment, Chen Ze controlled the Zhiyang Sword to his feet, then stood up, and then controlled the Zhiyang Sword to lift him up.

This Cave Mansion was relatively short, so he controlled the Zhiyang Sword to lift him about a foot high.

"This is flying with a sword..."

After dangling in the air for a few times, Chen Ze was all smiles.

Although the flying speed of the sword in the initial stage of Foundation Building is quite slow, even far inferior to running at full speed, but in any case, it is capable.

In the future, if you travel far away and fly directly with a sword, no matter how slow it is, it will definitely be faster than riding a horse.

As for fighting...

Unless you are bullying Qi Refining monks who cannot fly, otherwise this ability will be of little use for the time being.

"Let's wait until the cultivation level is stronger before using this skill. Flying with a sword in the early stage of Foundation Building is too high-profile."

After Chen Ze muttered to himself, he began to feel other changes in his body.

Compared with the tenth level of Qi Refining, his five senses are obviously sharper, and his physical strength has also been improved to a certain extent.

This should be because the body is nourished by liquid spiritual energy.

However, he has just stepped into the Foundation Building, and his cultivation time is still a little short.

After a while, his five senses and physical strength should be able to improve further.

In addition, being nourished by liquid spiritual energy all year round, his longevity should have been greatly improved. If he is not beaten to death, there is no problem in living to 200 years old.

“This is the Foundation Building!”

After feeling the change in his body condition, Chen Ze clenched his hands slightly, feeling a sense of stability in his heart.

After entering the Foundation Building realm, he is no longer a weakling around Azure Sun Sect.

Seeing that there was not much time left, Chen Ze quickly put away the Scorching Sun Sword, then opened the Cave Mansion ban and left the Cave Mansion.
