The Path to Immortality

"I didn't expect that reaching the tenth level of Qi training is really not the limit of the Qi training period."

After flipping through for a long time, Fang Ping returned the ancient books to the bookshelf and fell into deep thought.

It turns out that according to the above records, the general sense of the Qi training period being complete is actually just a small consummation.

On top of this, there are the legendary eleventh level of Qi training and the twelve levels of Qi training!

Compared with the ten levels of perfection in qi training, the twelfth level of perfection in qi training is the true limit of the qi training period, which can be called "Great Perfection".

However, most of the monks in the world are limited by their qualifications and talents and cannot make any progress until they reach the tenth level of Qi training.

After being promoted to the tenth level of Qi training, the monks can indeed attack the foundation directly.

As time goes by, fewer and fewer monks know the theory of the twelfth level of Qi training and the Great Perfection.

"Could it be that I used the Purple Sun Burning Blood Secret Technique before and accidentally got promoted to the twelfth level of Qi training?"

Fang Ping would not easily believe the records in an ancient book, but based on his personal experience in Qingyuan City a few months ago, he had to doubt that the statement about the twelve levels of Qi training, Dzogchen, was probably true!

But this way, he became a little confused.

I have already gathered all three main materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill, and I have also acquired the two relatively valuable auxiliary materials Xuanyuan Fruit and Tianling Flower. I can try to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill at any time.

And Fang Ping's realm is not far from the tenth level of Qi training.

According to the normal progress, the foundation building can be completed within one year at most.

But now I suddenly learned that there is a theory of the Twelve Levels of Qi Training, and that I had briefly reached that state, I suddenly fell into a dilemma.

Should we directly try to build the foundation after the tenth floor?

Or should we work steadily, practice to the twelfth level of Dzogchen, and then build the foundation?

Both options have pros and cons.

There is a huge disparity in the status of Qi-training monks and foundation-building monks in the world of immortality. The benefits of stepping into foundation building early are undoubtedly huge.

The lifespan of a foundation-building monk is only two hundred years, and the improvement is not high.

As for the eleventh and twelfth levels of Qi training, the training time required for each level will only be more than the ninth to tenth levels of Qi training.

Even under the best circumstances, it may take ten years to reach the level of 12th level of Qi training.

Ten years is a long enough time for a Qi Practitioner, and no one knows whether any changes will occur during this period.

If we do not pursue Dzogchen, there will naturally be no such risk.

If you build the foundation ten years earlier, you can also prepare for promotion to Jindan ten years earlier.

This is still very attractive.

But having said that, after all, I only have four spiritual roots, and my appearance is very poor. Even with the help of the Foundation Establishment Pill and two Foundation Establishment Spiritual Items, it is not 100% possible to successfully build the Foundation.

If you fail and want to try foundation building again, the difficulty will only be higher.

On the contrary, if you first upgrade to the twelfth floor and then try to build the foundation, you will be much more confident.

According to the records in this ancient book, the gap between the tenth level of Qi training, Small Perfection, and the twelve levels of Dzogchen, is huge.

Not to mention anything else, the difference in mana alone is 70% to 80%.

This point will play a decisive role in the mana level of the three difficult levels of foundation building.

Not only that, building the foundation means that the monks truly lay the foundation of the avenue.

The more vigorous the accumulation during the Qi training period, the greater the improvement in strength obtained after foundation building.

For the disciples of the five major immortal sects in Liang Kingdom, this is almost common knowledge.

If he succeeds in building the foundation at the level of the 12th level of Qi training, his strength will probably far exceed that of other new foundation-building monks, and it will also be of great benefit to his future path.

This temptation is really too great.

"Hey, wait!"

Fang Ping suddenly realized that he seemed to have fallen into a misunderstanding.

No one stipulates that after reaching the level of Qi training, you must reach the twelfth level of Qi training before you can build the foundation.

In fact, as long as you reach the tenth level of Qi training, you can try foundation building at any time.

There is absolutely no need for me to demand Dzogchen.

If there is any large-scale turmoil in the Liang Kingdom's immortal world or the Luoyang Sect during this period, and the Qi training strength is not enough to protect himself, then Fang Ping can build the foundation in advance according to the situation.

In a word, under the premise of ensuring safety, do as much as possible to accumulate foundation building.

"Yes, this is the best choice!"

The more Fang Ping thought about it, the more he felt that this method was suitable for him.

Moreover, this also has a side benefit, that is, it is low-key enough!

With four spiritual root qualifications, he was only over 40 years old and had successfully built the foundation in one go, which was a bit too conspicuous.

Although the successful foundation building is enough to keep some secrets, it will inevitably attract a lot of attention, prying eyes, and even covetousness.

On the contrary, if in another ten or eight years, you "luckily" succeed in building the foundation before the sixtieth birthday, it will not be so eye-catching, and at most you will only be envied by others for your luck.

It just so happened that with my current alchemy skills, it was still somewhat difficult to refine the foundation-building elixir.

What I originally thought was to rely on Yuanding's backtracking and try infinitely to forcibly refine it. But now that there is still enough time, there is no need to rush. You can improve your alchemy skills first, and then refine the foundation-building elixir calmly.

However, although he already had an inclination in his mind, Fang Ping was still not in a hurry to make the final decision.

He stayed in the Sutra Pavilion for a few more days, continuing to look for other related classics to confirm each other.

The result made him quite gratified. Several classics from different eras had almost consistent records about the twelve levels of Qi training, and it was basically certain that this matter was true.

But at the same time, Fang Ping made a new discovery in one of the most detailed books.

That is: perfect foundation building!

There is no such thing as perfect in the world, and the foundation building of cultivators is no exception. But the world is vast, and there are always some extremely rare exceptions.

If the cultivator has a very strong foundation in all aspects, and has a bit of luck and fortune when building the foundation, by chance, there is a small probability that he can achieve the legendary perfect foundation building!

How to build a perfect foundation and what kind of situation is considered a perfect foundation building are not detailed in the ancient books.

But one point is mentioned.

Only when the twelfth level of Qi training is perfect can a perfect foundation be built.

There are many benefits for cultivators who have achieved a perfect foundation, which are difficult to describe one by one.

The most important of them is that the success rate of impacting the golden elixir in the future can be increased by 10%!

After discovering this record in the newly consulted books, Fang Ping's surprise was simply indescribable.

"Perfect foundation building can actually increase the success rate of forming a golden elixir!"

You should know that the holy medicine [Golden Elixir] that cultivators who have reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Building can only increase the success rate of forming a golden elixir by 20%.

Once you can perfectly build a foundation, it is equivalent to having half a golden elixir in your hand, which is really irresistible!

"In this case, the previous idea of ​​building a foundation in advance at any time depending on the situation is a bit inappropriate. If you want to pursue a perfect foundation building and prepare for the future formation of a golden elixir, it is better not to make any mistakes in the Great Perfection of the twelfth level of Qi training."

Correspondingly, some of the original arrangements also need to be adjusted.
