The Path to Immortality

A few days later.

The restrictions of the cave were triggered again.

"A communication talisman at this time? Could it be?"

Fang Ping, who was concentrating on practicing, suddenly had a guess in his mind. He used his magic power to take the communication talisman and saw that it was indeed from Jiang Yucheng... his Taoist partner?

The communication talisman mentioned a good news. Not long ago, Jiang Yucheng successfully built his foundation and was currently stabilizing his realm.

At the end, the other party also mentioned that the foundation-building ceremony would be held a hundred days later, and hoped that Fang Ping would be able to participate at that time.

"It turns out that he is stabilizing his realm. No wonder it was the Taoist partner who sent the communication talisman on his behalf."

Looking at the good news in the communication talisman, Fang Ping was happy for Jiang Yucheng from the bottom of his heart, but he was not surprised or envious.

As early as when he entered the inner gate, Jiang Yucheng's strength was already at the eighth level of Qi training.

The other party had a lot of connections in the gate and often got such a lucrative job as a duty officer in Zhengyang Hall. Relying on the large amount of practice resources accumulated on weekdays and the help of his master, it is suspected that he got a foundation-building pill.

After that, he was able to use the cave of a foundation-building cultivator to attack the foundation.

With such thorough preparations, the success rate of foundation-building was no less than 50%, and it was natural to be able to break through in one fell swoop.

He immediately sent a communication talisman to express his congratulations, and began to consider what kind of gift to give to this senior brother after he came out of retreat.

Oh, by the way, according to the rules of Liangguo's cultivation world, he should now be called Uncle Jiang.

………

I don't know if it's a coincidence.

It was only a short ten days after Jiang Yucheng's good news came back, Fang Ping received another communication talisman from Liu Wuchen.

The content of the communication talisman was very short, only a few lines.

But it made Fang Ping's eyes freeze for a long time before he finished reading it, and his mood suddenly became a little heavy.

Liu Wuchen failed to build his foundation!

Relying on a relatively solid foundation, Ziyang Pill, and three foundation-building spiritual objects to help, Liu Wuchen successfully passed the physical test.

Then he passed the magic test without any danger.

But in the final stage of spiritual consciousness, perhaps because of bad luck or lack of concentration, when he was just one step away from building his foundation, he failed at the last moment.

Fortunately, Liu Wuchen had made some preparations in advance, and his response after the failure of building his foundation was decent, so he was lucky enough to save his life.

However, his meridians and dantian were severely damaged, and his physical injuries were not light. Without a year or two of recuperation, it would be impossible to recover!

Moreover, even if he recovered, at his current age, his severely damaged meridians and dantian could hardly withstand the impact of building his foundation again.

In other words, Liu Wuchen had no hope of achieving success in this life.

"Failed at the last moment!"

From the emotions contained in the words of the communication talisman, Fang Ping could imagine how heavy a blow this senior brother, who was once full of vigor and vitality, had suffered from the failure of building his foundation.

"It seems that I can only go to visit this senior brother first."

Fang Ping stood up suddenly.

………

Just as Fang Ping had expected after receiving the news, Liu Wuchen looked haggard and his eyes were dull and blank. He looked like an octogenarian, almost making Fang Ping think he had found the wrong person.

Even when he saw Fang Ping coming, his expression was only slightly rippled.

After saying hello, he resumed his posture of not eating or drinking and sitting in frustration.

Facing this kind of heart disease, Fang Ping was helpless.

No matter how sophisticated his alchemy skills were, he could not refine a panacea that could cure this disease. He could only hope that Liu Wuchen would be relieved.

Perhaps only time could make him think it through.

He gave a few instructions to the maids who were serving him attentively, asking them to take good care of him, and then he left with a sigh.

………

For the next three months, Fang Ping's life briefly returned to his previous state of retreat and cultivation.

Senior Brother Liu Wuchen's failure to build his foundation gave him a big warning.

During this period of time, Fang Ping practiced very hard, without any relaxation.

Until he received another communication talisman from Jiang Yucheng's Taoist companion.

This time, the communication talisman mentioned that Jiang Yucheng had come out of retreat, and the foundation-building ceremony was scheduled to be held at noon three days later.

"Has he come out of retreat?"

Looking at the words and tone of this communication talisman, Fang Ping frowned slightly.

Previously, Jiang Yucheng had just built his foundation and was still in a stable state, so it was understandable that he could not send a message to inform his friends in person.

Now a hundred days have passed, and the other party has already come out of retreat, but he still asked his Taoist companion to send the communication talisman on his behalf.

Moreover, judging from the words and sentences on the communication talisman, it does not seem to be a group invitation to a Taoist friend who used to have a good relationship with him, but more like a group invitation to receive gifts...

However, after just a breath, his expression calmed down.

With the improvement of strength and the difference in class, it is also normal for some cultivators to have an inflated mentality.

Even Fang Ping himself, after entering the inner sect, inevitably lost touch with Zhou Yang, Yan Xu and others in the outer sect.

Anyway, he never wanted to rely on their past friendship to get close to this newly promoted foundation-building cultivator. In this case, what does it matter whether the other party is willing to recognize him as an old friend?

For Fang Ping, who can take that step at any time, he doesn't care!

He immediately replied with a communication talisman as a routine, indicating that he would definitely attend the ceremony.

………

Three days later in the morning.

Fang Ping arrived at Jiang Yucheng's cave on time.

Because he had just been promoted to the foundation-building stage, this uncle Jiang had not yet moved into the new cave on the hillside of Luoyun Peak.

To some extent, this was convenient for the Qi training disciples who came to participate in the ceremony.

Thanks to the connections and friendships that Jiang Yucheng had accumulated when he was on duty at Zhengyang Palace, many disciples were invited to the foundation-building ceremony this time.

There were more than 200 disciples in the late stage of Qi training alone.

Most of the gifts they gave were also very valuable.

Various spiritual medicines, spiritual materials, and even some people directly gave middle-grade spiritual stones. For a time, the outside of the huge cave was full of spiritual light and precious energy.

As for why it was outside the cave?

The cave was carefully decorated by Jiang Yucheng to entertain the invited foundation-building monks and a small number of Qi training disciples who were specially invited to watch the ceremony.

Fang Ping and others received ordinary invitations, and even if they were old friends, they were not qualified to enter.

"Master Qian is here!"

"Master Yu and Master Meng are here!"

"Master Ling is here too!"

As time approached noon, the foundation-building uncles who were rarely seen on weekdays arrived one after another, and there were as many as six or seven people.

Among them, the strongest one is Jiang Yucheng's master Ling Kangbao.

This uncle Ling entered the middle stage of foundation building 20 years ago. Although the hope of forming a pill is slim, there is still a chance to advance to the late stage of foundation building.

If he is lucky, he may catch up with the vacancy of the elder position, and he may be able to serve as the elder of the inner sect for a few years in the future.

In the master-disciple faction of Luoyang Sect, he is considered to be a little famous.

Hearing that his master and other foundation-building Taoist friends are coming, Jiang Yucheng, who has specially changed into a new Taoist robe, walked out with a smile on his face, and welcomed the fellow foundation-building Taoist friends and the specially invited disciples to the cave mansion, and entertained them warmly.

Soon, with the festive and lively Taoist music, as all the scheduled foundation-building cultivators arrived, the foundation-building ceremony was held in the cave mansion.

Fang Ping and others were still not allowed to enter the ceremony, and could only wait outside the courtyard for the feast.
