Chapter 294: Foundation Building Begins

The foundation-building pills have been distributed, which has caused quite a stir in Lingyun Sect.

Even including some elders, many people are wondering how many of the ten disciples who stood out in the Ascension Conference this time can successfully build their foundation.

"There should be three to four. After all, they are all the chosen ones. They stand out from the Ascension Conference, and their cultivation aptitude is not bad."

"That's hard to say. Remember twenty years ago, only one of the ten immortal seedlings who obtained the foundation-building pill successfully built their foundation."

"It shouldn't be so bleak this time. Not to mention the ice attribute spiritual roots, the other two immortal seedlings with two spiritual roots have reached the ninth level of Qi Refining and the great perfection of Qi Refining, and their cultivation aptitude is very good."

"Hehe, don't forget that there is another disciple who got the foundation-building pill through the Ascension Order."

This time, eleven foundation-building pills were distributed. Except for Li Qing, the other ten people all got the qualifications by standing out in the Ascension Conference.

In this way, Li Qing, who stood out, looked a little abrupt.

"I heard that the man is a friend of Elder Wu, and he must be quite old. Although he has reached the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage, it is not bad, but his hope of building a foundation is a little slim."

"Tsk, anyone with four spiritual roots can get a foundation-building pill. Isn't it a waste to give it to him?"

"Why don't I have such bad luck? Alas, things like the Ascension Order haven't appeared for hundreds of years, and this man actually has one."

"Hehe, I'll see him make a fool of himself. So many people are paying attention to him. If he fails to build a foundation, I want to see how he ends up."

"."

Not long after receiving the foundation-building pill issued by the sect, Li Qing inevitably became one of the focuses of everyone's attention.

A cultivator with four spiritual roots got a foundation-building pill, which would arouse some interest in people, wanting to know whether Li Qing would end up sadly or ascend to heaven.

Li Qing, who returned to his courtyard from Yunxiao Island, was unexpectedly calm and composed. He was just recuperating and sorting out his thoughts.

Even if he didn't deliberately ask about the outside world's discussions about him, Li Qing could guess what they were talking about.

In the past two months, he has rejected six fellow disciples who wanted his foundation-building pill. Some of them were disciples who entered the sect at the same time, and some were senior brothers with more experience.

And those who were rejected by him would definitely make some slanderous noises against him.

If Li Qing fails to build his foundation, they will more or less think that Li Qing has wasted such a precious foundation-building pill, and even think that Li Qing has hindered their path.

If Li Qing knows what's good for him, he should give this foundation-building pill to them, and the hope of success in building his foundation will be greater.

"This kind of thing that becomes the focus of attention is a disaster rather than a blessing for me."

"This time, I can't fail in building my foundation no matter what."

Sitting in the courtyard to regulate his breath, Li Qing couldn't help but sigh. Treasures are very tempting, not to mention a sacred object like the foundation-building pill.

That is to say, within the sect, if he were in the outside world, he would definitely be attacked by countless people to snatch the foundation-building pill in his hand.

A man is innocent but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. For the sake of building a foundation and a longer lifespan, who cares whether you are a fellow disciple or not? In front of lifespan, no one can escape the common customs!

Finally, among the ten immortal seedlings who got the foundation-building pill, someone began to try to build a foundation.

In the Xiyun Pavilion area, in a courtyard where a Qi Refining Stage disciple lived, a subtle breath fluctuation suddenly spread, attracting the attention of a small number of people around.

"That's where Ji Bai lives. After a few days, is he going to start building a foundation?"

"He is very courageous. He dared to be the first to try to build a foundation. He is worthy of being a cultivator who once aspired to form a pill."

"This kind of daring to be the first mentality is very good. I think Ji Bai has a great chance of success in building a foundation."

Generally speaking, it is a very good thing for five of the ten immortal seedlings recruited in each Immortal Ascension Conference to succeed.

Even in the best case since the establishment of Lingyun Sect, only seven out of ten immortal seedlings successfully established their foundation, and this was a long time ago.

In most cases, only two or three immortal seedlings can cross the dragon gate and jump directly from the newly-entered Qi Refining Stage disciples to the elders of the sect.

Looking at Qingling Region, which covers the three major immortal sects, there has never been a case where ten immortal seedlings who received the Foundation Establishment Pill were promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage at the same time in any Ascension Conference.

Just because this is the foundation building, as long as you are not a natural spiritual root, even if you have the best aptitude for cultivation, there is a possibility of failure.

So it can be said that among the ten immortal seedlings, for every one who successfully establishes the foundation, the remaining disciples who have not yet started the foundation building will have a lower probability of success.

There may be personal reasons for this, or there may be psychological pressure from the outside world. In short, it is so mysterious.

As time went on, the news that Ji Bai had started to build the foundation spread quickly, and it attracted a lot of attention at once.

Almost at the same time, several other people who received the immortal seedlings from the sect also began to build their foundations.

Boom!

Several auras began to spread out at the same time, and the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth in the Xiyun Pavilion area seemed to become restless all of a sudden.

"Mo Changfeng has also started to build his foundation!"

"The posture of absorbing spiritual energy in Pan Xiao's courtyard is so exaggerated. He is only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, but the movement is so turbulent. This is a reflection of a strong foundation."

"Who would believe that a layer of frost suddenly condensed over Shen Ningbing's yard? I thought there was something wrong with the sect's formation!"

"."

The news that one immortal seedling after another began to build their foundation came out, attracting more and more people's attention.

Except for a few immortal seedlings who were preparing to build their foundation after reaching the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage for the sake of safety, everyone took the foundation-building pill today, as if it was an appointment.

And Li Qing naturally heard the news, but his attitude was still leisurely and not disturbed by external things.

"Practice is your own business. If you disturb your state of mind because of these things, you will fall behind."

"I don't ask for speed, but for a safe one. Whether the foundation is fast or not is not very meaningful."

Li Qing, holding a volume of classics in his hand, looked into the distance calmly.

He was waiting, waiting for the news of that furnace of foundation-building pills.

At this moment, he was extremely patient. After all, he had waited for so many years, and finally he managed to collect all the spiritual medicines for a foundation-building pill by himself.

Li Qing's mentality has now calmed down. Even if all ten immortal seedlings outside have successfully established their foundations, he will still look at it with an irrelevant mentality.

It's just that he can see things clearly, but others may not think so.

For example, several Qi Refining disciples who were interested in buying the Foundation Establishment Pill in his hand are very concerned about Li Qing's movements at the moment.

"Why, hasn't that Li Qing made any movement yet?"

"I just took a look from a distance, and his courtyard is still as quiet as usual."

"Hehe, he is not in a hurry at all. Is he afraid of failure?!"

"It's just human nature. How can the qualifications of four spiritual roots compare with those immortal seedlings? It's normal to have no confidence."

"It's ridiculous. My generation of cultivators should be brave and enterprising. If you don't even have this courage, how can you pursue the immortal path? This Foundation Establishment Pill is really a waste in his hands!"

"."

Among them, Zheng Donghe was the most concerned. He kept sneering and making some contemptuous sarcasm.

But at the same time, he was praying in his heart, hoping that more of the other immortal seedlings would succeed in building their foundations. In this way, Li Qing might feel pressured and dare not take the foundation-building pill.

At that time, he might have a chance to buy the foundation-building pill from Li Qing.

After a long time, Ji Bai, who started building his foundation first, finally stopped absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

Soon, a hearty laugh came from Ji Bai's courtyard.

"Hahahaha, you have been practicing Taoism for twenty years, but you have already built a foundation before you reach the age of thirty. This matter should be made clear!"

Ji Bai's high-spirited self-talk resounded, and many Qi Refining disciples were envious of it.

From these words, it can be heard that Ji Bai successfully built his foundation before he was thirty years old. Such talent is really good.

Now that the foundation has been successfully built, his life span has been extended again. The future of Taoism can really be said to be limitless!

That's right, a cultivator in the foundation building stage who is less than 30 years old will definitely have the opportunity to launch an impact towards the Jindan stage as long as nothing unexpected happens in this life.

Of course, whether it can succeed or not is another matter.

"Congratulations to Elder Ji Bai! Success in foundation building is a cause for celebration!"

"Hahaha, Brother Ji Bai, I have to call you elder from now on. Congratulations, I'm waiting for your foundation building celebration."

"Elder Ji Bai."

Ji Bai's temperament is very cheerful, and he handles these congratulations very well. He is not arrogant or impatient, and he doesn't put on the airs of a senior in the foundation building stage. He shares the joy of successful foundation building with others in a casual and natural way.

"Hahaha, how are the other brothers?" Ji Bai asked with concern.

"The other immortal seedlings have also started to build their foundations, and the results are still unclear at this time."

"Only three people have not started yet. Two of them should plan to wait until they reach the perfect state of Qi Refining Stage. The other one, Li Qing, seems to be waiting."

Someone answered Ji Bai's question and told him the current situation.

"Well, you can only understand it after you have experienced it. Building a foundation is indeed too difficult. Even I almost failed. It is right to be safe." Ji Bai said with deep conviction.

While talking, Ji Bai waited for the news of the other immortal seedlings building their foundations, while slightly closing his eyes and consolidating his own realm.

After a long while, when the sky gradually darkened, the news of the remaining immortal seedlings building their foundations also came out one after another.

Someone roared unwillingly: "No! Only one step away, why?"

"Puff! Cough, cough, I am unwilling! Give me another chance, I will definitely succeed!"

It can only be said that some people are happy and some are sad. Hearing the voices transmitted from the courtyards where several immortal seedlings live, even if you don't go to find out the results, you can understand what the situation is.

Regret, unwillingness, decadence!

How proud you were before, how discouraged you will be after the failure of building a foundation.

"Shen Ningbing has successfully established her foundation. She is indeed an ice-attributed spiritual root. I suspect that even without the foundation-building pill, she can easily take this step, just because everything went smoothly, as if it was a natural outcome."

"In the future, the sect will have one more elder in the foundation-building period with an ice-attributed spiritual root. His combat power should be very good."

"Pan Xiao failed to establish his foundation and avoided seeing guests. It seems that he suffered a heavy blow."

"."

After all this, the dust finally settled. Today, only three of the eight immortal seedlings who took the foundation-building pill succeeded, and one of them was an ice-attributed spiritual root.

Such bleak probabilities are placed in front of them, making many disciples in the Qi refining stage feel very mixed emotions.

You must know that these eight people are all immortal seedlings. The monks who can stand out from the Immortal Ascension Conference are definitely one of the best in cultivation!

Under such premise, even after taking the Foundation Establishment Pill, only three out of eight people succeeded.

Although they have long known the difficulty of building a foundation, many disciples were still shocked. Especially those ordinary disciples who had just entered the sect in the same group as Li Qing, their mouths were white and their expressions were slightly bitter.

In the end, I could only sigh: The road is difficult and dangerous!

"Even Pan Xiao failed. She has the cultivation qualifications of the Second Spiritual Root, second only to the Heavenly Spiritual Root and the Foreign Spiritual Root."

"Perhaps the preparations are not sufficient. Even a slight fluctuation in mentality may have some impact."

"."

As the news of the results of the immortal seedlings' foundation building came out, Li Qing in the courtyard did not express too many feelings.

Having been in the world of immortality for many years, he understands the cruelty of the avenue better than anyone else.

He didn't care at all about this, and he didn't even have much ups and downs in his mood.

They are all irrelevant things.

And it was on this night that he finally met the person he was waiting for!

I saw a chubby and round figure quietly coming to his yard, it was Wu Chong with an extremely excited expression.

"Li Qing, it's done, it's done!"

"Senior Brother Chen performed exceptionally this time and actually produced four pills. Even he himself did not expect the success rate to be so high!"

As he spoke, Wu Chong took out a white jade porcelain bottle from his arms, which contained four round and plump Foundation Establishment Pills. Each one was very powerful, and there was not a single defective one!

However, unlike Wu Chong's excitement, Li Qing just smiled and praised happily: "Elder Chen's alchemy skills are really good. One furnace of Foundation Establishment Pills can produce four pills. This pill-making rate is probably 90%. Even a second-level alchemist can’t do it, right?”

When Taoist Qingyang refined the Foundation Establishment Pill, there were only three pills in one furnace, and there was also a defective Foundation Establishment Pill, which was now lying in his storage bag.

"Hehe, it should be because Senior Brother Chen is in good condition, but you, when are you going to build the foundation? I have heard that the newly promoted immortal seedlings in the sect have failed many people, and this matter has made a big fuss. "Wu Chong shook his head and said, and began to take out two huge roast chicken drumsticks from the storage bag and started to eat them.

"Now, Fatty Wu, please protect me one more time." Li Qing smiled slightly, but he didn't feel much excitement in his heart.

If it were in the past, everyone would probably jump with joy if they got four Foundation Establishment Pills at once.

At this moment, my state of mind is very stable, just like eating and drinking, which can't be more ordinary.

"So soon, you are no longer ready to prepare?"

In response, Li Qing just shook his head.

"Everything is ready, but now we only need the east wind. There is nothing left to prepare."

After saying that, Li Qing sat down and poured out a Foundation Establishment Pill that had just come out of the oven.

Now he has six foundation-building pills in his hand, only one of which is defective.

Such an astonishing amount, if other monks in the Qi Refining Stage knew about it, they would be so shocked that their jaws dropped to the ground.

Each of the Foundation Establishment Pills is extremely precious. If it were put up for auction, it would fetch at least three to five thousand spirit stones, or even more.

And Li Qing had six in his hands at one time. Even if one was defective, it was still an astonishing number.

This is why Li Qing is so calm now. Although the six Foundation Establishment Pills cannot be taken together to increase the probability of success in Foundation Establishment, if he fails to succeed, he can commit suicide.

In this way, under Wu Chong's protection, Li Qing took the first genuine Foundation Building Pill.
