Chapter 146: Cultivation Breakthrough to the Late Stage of Foundation Building
Although the fire-preventing spider clan has bred more than a hundred first-level fire-preventing spiders this time with the help of the Spirit Breeding Method, it will still take a long time for them to truly grow up.
Zhu Yue is the second second-level monk of the Fire Spider Clan, so Zhu Yan naturally hopes that Zhu Yue can recover as soon as possible.
Lu Chengan didn't ask too much about the situation of the Fire Spider Clan. After giving those pills to Zhu Yan, he went to practice next to the fire spring.
He used to spend all his time practicing magic in the family, but after returning to Green Crocodile Island, he will change his previous plan.
Cultivation is the most important thing. It has been some time since he broke through to the middle stage of foundation building. Next, he will still prioritize improving his cultivation.
Of course, he will not give up on the cultivation of second-level magic.
Shi Ningyu also told him one thing after fighting him. Although his strength was not weak, his attack and defense methods were too single.
If you are facing casual cultivators or cultivators with lower backgrounds, you can definitely gain the upper hand by relying on this single and powerful technique.
But if you encounter a foundation-building monk who is from the Jindan Sect or trained by the Yuanying Sect, this single method will become a fatal shortcoming.
Because it would be easy for a monk with that kind of background to find a weakness, and he might be killed with one hit.
Lu Chengan has now reached a relatively deep level of understanding of the Earth Flame Manual, and has already made more than half of the progress towards Dacheng.
Nowadays, it only takes four hours for him to run his skills for a full cycle. He now uses eight hours a day to improve his cultivation. The remaining three hours are used to practice the skills, and the last hour is used to meditate and adjust his breath. Summarize the day's gains.
After ordinary people become monks, they basically no longer need to sleep and rest. Meditating and regulating the breath can restore energy much faster than sleeping.
Lu Chengan's cultivation has now reached the middle stage of foundation building. He only needs half an hour a day to meditate and adjust his breathing to recover the lost energy.
In this way, he can spend more time on cultivation.
Lu Chengan did not feel that such a life was boring. After a day of intense training, when he looked at the improvement in strength displayed on the panel, he felt very happy.
Cultivation is timeless, and more than half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period of time, Lu Chengan never left the side of Huoquan. He spent all his time practicing.
His long-term cultivation has allowed him to improve his strength very quickly. He has perfected the six-level second-level magic that Shi Ningyu gave him, as well as the Hidden Movement Technique and Spark Escape Technique that he had not yet perfected before.
But they are all just at the stage of reaching perfection. If you want to practice these eight techniques to complete perfection, it will take at least more than a year.
Because the further you practice the technique, the more difficult it will be to improve it.
This is also the main reason why many foundation-building monks can only practice second-level magic to great success, but cannot practice it to perfection.
With the power of the panel, Lu Chengan was confident that he would be able to practice all these second-level spells to perfection, but it would take more time.
In the past half year or so, Lu Chengan had only spent a small part of his time practicing magic, and he spent more time improving his cultivation.
Lu Chengan's cultivation level has improved extremely rapidly in more than half a year, and he is not far away from breaking through to the late stage of foundation building.
The reason for this was not only because he had a deeper understanding of the techniques of the Earth Flame Manual, but also had a very important reason, which was that he took the elixir Jade Spirit Pill given to him by Shi Ningyu.
This kind of elixir is specially taken by the Shenyu Sect for the sect's monks in the middle stage of foundation building, and only Nascent Soul successors like Shi Ningyu can take it, so one can imagine its value.
Lu Chengan has taken a total of four Jade Spirit Pills in the past six months, using half of them, and there are still four pills left.
Lu Chengan made a rough estimate in his mind. He only needed to take two more Jade Spirit Pills to successfully break through to the late stage of foundation building.

Talent skill: Red Glazed Flame]
Lu Chengan frowned slightly after glancing at the changes in his situation on the panel.
He has practiced both the Burning Spirit Technique and the Purple Flame Resurrection Technique to perfection. These two techniques complement each other and can achieve the best results when used together.
Especially for the Burning Spirit Technique, Lu Chengan's current cultivation level is very close to the late stage of Foundation Establishment. If he now performs the Burning Spirit Technique at the Perfect Realm, the strength he unleashes will not be weaker than that of a monk at the Perfect Realm of Foundation Establishment.
Moreover, this kind of monks with a perfect foundation-building realm are not ordinary monks with a perfect foundation-building realm, but foundation-building monks with tyrannical strength like Shi Ningyu.
"The Burning Spirit Technique requires strong physical strength as support. My physical strength is not weak among monks of the same level, but it is definitely not strong."
"The flesh and blood of the phoenix-billed black fish can indeed enhance my physical strength, but I only got an early-stage second-order phoenix-billed black fish, and its flesh and blood can only improve my physical strength to a limited extent."
Lu Chengan's mind was spinning rapidly. After he glanced at the cultivation status on the panel, he made a quick decision in his mind.
When his cultivation reached the late stage of foundation building, he asked Zhu Yan if there were any treasures in the Burning Flame Mountains that could enhance physical strength.
The physical bodies of monster beasts and spirit monks are far stronger than those of human monks. In addition to their natural physical strength, it also has a lot to do with their cultivation methods and the food they eat.
Human monks also learn physical training from monsters and spirits to temper their bodies, but this is only at the bottom of the world of immortality.
Because the achievements in physical cultivation are limited, at most the golden elixir realm has reached its peak, and there is basically no possibility of further promotion after that.
There is no physical cultivation in the world of immortality where the Huanggu Sect is located, and there is no method of physical cultivation spread at all.
If Lu Chengan wanted to improve his physical strength, he had to find a way on his own.
After a while, Lu Chengan suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind and re-entered the state of previous cultivation.
Three months later, Lu Chengan refined two Jade Spirit Pills again. As expected, his cultivation level successfully reached the late stage of foundation building.
"Later stage of foundation building!"
Lu Chengan silently felt the changes after his breakthrough in cultivation, the first of which was mana.
The mana accumulated in the Dantian is twice as much as that in the middle stage of foundation building, and the quality of the mana has also been greatly improved.
"This time the cultivation base has broken through and the mana has changed a lot!"
Lu Chengan stretched out his fingertips, and a burst of black-red mana emerged.
This black-red magic power was the magic power cultivated by Lu Chengan, and the fire evil gas contained in it was several times more than before.
"Perhaps I can no longer stay on Green Crocodile Island for the next training, but go to a place where the fire evil spirit and spiritual energy are more intense!"
Lu Chengan felt a change in his magic power. Now his magic power contained violent fire poison.
The poison of the fire evil will spread out when he strikes. Even if his attack does not cause much damage to the opponent, as the poison of the fire evil accumulates, it can slowly poison the opponent to death.
Lu Chengan has used this method to kill powerful opponents before. Now that the fire poison contained in his magic power has increased again, it will be easier to do so again.
In addition to the change in mana, Lu Chengan's spiritual power has also been greatly improved.
Monks need the support of spiritual consciousness to perform spells and activate magical weapons. The stronger the spiritual force, the more magical weapons they can perform in a shorter time and control more magical weapons at the same time.
Lu Chengan's soul power has always been very strong, which is his natural advantage.
And after he started practicing, this advantage continued to expand.
"My lifespan has increased by one period, and now my total lifespan has reached three hundred and seventy years!"
After Lu Chengan saw the change in life span displayed on the panel, although he was still excited, his reaction was not as strong as when he broke through the middle stage of foundation building.
Because it has not been long since he broke through the middle stage of foundation building, and he has also slightly adapted to this change.
"My understanding of the Earth Flame Scripture has reached perfection, but the progress is only fifteen!"
Lu Chengan was also quite satisfied after seeing the progress of the Earthly Flame Manual displayed on the panel.
His cultivation has now broken through to the late stage of foundation building. As his understanding of the Earth Flame Scripture deepens, the time for him to operate the Great Zhoutian can be shortened, so that the speed of his cultivation can be increased again.
In addition, Lu Chengan's physical strength has also improved a lot with his breakthrough in cultivation, but it is still not enough to support him in performing the Spirit Burning Technique.
After checking the changes after the breakthrough in cultivation, Lu Chengan began to consolidate the cultivation that he had just achieved.
Three days later, Lu Chengan stood up from the fire spring and walked in the direction of Zhu Yan.
"Congratulations to fellow Daoist Lu for making another breakthrough in cultivation. There is hope for immortality in the future!"
After Zhu Yan saw Lu Chengan, she immediately congratulated him.
Lu Chengan did not hide the aura of his breakthrough in cultivation, and he made the breakthrough on Green Crocodile Island, so the fluctuations in spiritual energy caused by him were naturally noticed by Zhu Yan.
"Haha, it's just hard work!"
Lu Chengan smiled softly and asked, "Are things going well between you and fellow Taoist Zhu Yue recently?"
He has been practicing hard on Qingcrocodile Island for more than a year. After such a long time, he felt that Zhu Yan had basically recovered.
It's just that he has never seen Zhu Yue, and he doesn't know what Zhu Yue's current situation is.
When Zhu Yan heard Lu Chengan mention Zhu Yue, she couldn't help but sigh: "Zhu Yue's condition is a little better, but he still injured his foundation and there is no possibility of recovery. In the future, his strength may be lower than the first level The late-stage monks are much better, and their lifespan may be shorter than those of the late-stage first-order monks in the clan!”
However, this is already a relatively good result. Among the ancestors recorded by the Fire Spider who used the Spirit Pregnancy Technique, not many male spiders were able to survive safely.
Now Zhu Yue has given up cultivation and started to teach the spiderlings he and Zhu Yue had bred.
These spiderlings generally have good talents, and they have basically never stopped taking pills when they were cultivating. Their cultivation level is improving very quickly.
One or two of the spiderlings with outstanding talents will be able to break through to the middle stage of the first stage after a while.
"Will you return to the family next? The first-grade inferior pills you brought before are almost used up. I would like to ask you to help buy another batch!" Zhu Yan said with a smile.
The number of first-grade inferior pills Lu Chengan brought back was not much, but there were so many first-stage early spiderlings to use.
"That's easy. I plan to return to the family today." Lu Chengan said with a smile.
Lu Chengan did have such a plan, because he received news from his uncle before his cultivation level broke through.
Lu Wenhua had been preparing for such a long time and was ready to take the last step. He was ready to take the foundation-building pill to try to break through the foundation-building realm.
Lu Wenhua did not practice the hundred arts of cultivating immortals, so his ability to earn cultivation resources was lacking.
The foundation-building pill is the most effective and the most expensive of all the foundation-building spiritual objects.
Lu Wenhua's accumulation alone is not enough to replace the foundation-building pill stored by the Lu family.
However, Lu Wenhua does not have to worry about these things at all. Lu Chengan has already replaced this only foundation-building pill for his uncle.
Now Lu Wenhua has not started to break through yet, and there are still three days left before the time he said.
Lu Chengan returned to the family at this time just to meet his uncle during his retreat and break through, and to boost his uncle's morale.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist Lu. These are the materials I prepared for the purchase of pills. Do you think they are enough?" Zhu Yan said with a smile.
The materials Zhu Yan took out to purchase pills were still second-level mineral materials. She was not going to buy second-level pills this time, so she took out second-level low-grade mineral materials, and the quantity was not large.
Lu Chengan smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Those first-level inferior spiritual medicines are not valuable, so don't talk about buying them, Fellow Daoist Zhu.
When I come back from the clan this time, I want to ask Fellow Daoist Zhu for help!"
Lu Chengan's eyes fell on Zhu Yan, and he smiled and asked, "Does Fellow Daoist Zhu know what treasures in the Burning Flame Mountains can temper the body?"
His current cultivation has broken through to the late stage of foundation building, which took him more than a year, and there are nearly seven years left before the opening of the Shenyu Sect ruins mentioned by Shi Ningyu.
He is absolutely sure that he can break through to the perfect foundation building within seven years and reach the limit of breaking through the Jindan realm.
Next, he will slow down his cultivation time, and will work hard to temper his body and improve his refining skills.
In the past year, he has not refined magic tools again, which has caused his refining skills to still be stuck at the second-level inferior.
