Chapter 171 - My Way

"That's right, it's Foundation Establishment Pill. Junior brother doesn't know much about Foundation Establishment, do you want me to explain it to you?" Yun Li smiled and looked at Zhou Shu with a sincere attitude.

For Zhou Shu who has no master, this is a rare opportunity. He hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Please brother Yun for advice, I will listen to you with all my heart."

For cultivators, foundation building is the real threshold for cultivating immortals. From then on, they will be reborn, without food and drink, free from all diseases, and no longer a mortal.

There are three ways to build a foundation, direct foundation building, using foundation building pills to build a foundation, and using spiritual objects to build a foundation.

After the cultivator reaches the level of Qi refining, he can directly build the foundation. The advantage is that there is no need to spend anything. The disadvantage is that once the foundation fails, the cultivator has only two endings, either the body dies and the dao disappears, or the soul is seriously injured. It may not be possible to recover in eight years, and the possibility of serious injury is many times greater than death.

Because of this, many cultivators are stuck in the Qi Refining Realm and do not dare to build a foundation at all. For example, the two secret cultivators of the Zhang family, once they fail to build a foundation, they will lose their value and the consequences will be worrisome.

But with the Foundation Establishment Pill, there is no such worry.

The Foundation Establishment Pill will not increase the success rate of the cultivator's foundation building, nor will it increase the strength of the cultivator, but it can perfectly protect the cultivator. A cultivator who uses the Foundation Establishment Pill to build a foundation will not die even if the foundation fails, and even if the soul is damaged, it will only take a few months to recover.

But Jidan is not so easy to get.

This kind of medicine pill with no grade is worth more than 20,000 middle-grade spirit stones, and it is very difficult to buy.

This is because the materials needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill are various and precious, ranging from the first level to the fourth level. Basically, only the larger sects can collect them all. Even if the small sects have alchemists, they cannot find the materials for refining system.

In the world of cultivating immortals, most cultivators build foundations directly, and there are very few cultivators who can afford foundation building pills.

After listening to the introduction of the two kinds of foundation building, Zhou Shu pointed to the spirit grass, "Senior brother wants me to choose one of the two. Is that spirit grass the spiritual thing for foundation building?"

"Yes, it's called Condensing Sword Grass, a third-order spiritual grass, and it's also used for foundation building, but..." Yun Li hesitated to speak.

"but what?"

Yun Li stared at Zhou Shu, and said word by word, "Use Congealing Sword Grass to build the foundation, if you fail, you will definitely die."

"The key is what are the benefits?"

Yunli's expression was rather cautious, and he mentioned the third method of foundation building.

Use spirits such as spirit grass, spirit fish and spirit fruit to attack the foundation building.

The use of spiritual objects during the foundation building process may allow the cultivator to transform the body with the spiritual objects while shedding the mortal body, thereby obtaining certain characteristics of the spiritual objects. For the cultivator, this can only be achieved at the only pass of foundation establishment and escape, not at any other time, if you miss it, there will be nothing.

However, the advantages and disadvantages of this method are extremely obvious and polarized.

The success rate of foundation establishment decreases, and the cultivator will suffer great pain. Once the body cannot bear it and the foundation establishment fails, he will die immediately. There is absolutely no other possibility. , the cultivator will get additional benefits - stimulate the potential, increase the strength, the higher the degree of compatibility, the greater the benefits, if the spiritual object and the cultivator are perfectly matched, the cultivator may obtain a special characteristic, but the chance is very low , one in a million.

Zhou Shuruo realized something, "Condensing Sword Grass, if you use it to successfully build a foundation, it will be of great benefit to sword cultivators?"

"Yes. It is said that the Ningjian grass is transformed by the sword intent of the ancient power. If it is used to build a foundation successfully, the cultivator may be more friendly to the sword, and it will be easier to comprehend the sword intent. If it fits perfectly, you can even comprehend it Ancient sword intent, but the probability of this is close to zero, don't think too much about it."

Yun Li looked at Zhou Shu cautiously, "Now you can make a good choice, be careful, this is a crucial step for a cultivator."

"Thank you for your guidance, brother, I am very grateful."

Zhou Shu saluted seriously.

The problem of foundation establishment bothered him before, but he didn't want to get a clear solution now.

Yunli's guidance was extremely detailed, and after talking for half an hour, he also learned a lot of knowledge that could not be obtained from classics.

The Zongmen gave him such a rare Foundation Establishment Pill, which also represented sincerity. It seemed that after several trials, he had really been recognized by the Zongmen.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Shu suddenly said, "Can I choose both?"

"No, they cannot be used at the same time."

Zhou Shu nodded, "Then I want to build Jidan."

"You chose Zhu Jidan?"

Yun Li was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhou Shu with a lot of surprise in his eyes, and after a while, this surprise turned into disappointment.

Zhou Shu nodded and repeated, "Yes, Zhuji Dan."

Yun Li sighed slightly, "Junior Brother made the right choice. If you use Condensing Sword Grass to build the foundation, you will die if you fail. It is indeed difficult to accept. It makes sense to choose the stable Foundation Establishment Pill."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Zhou Shu, and couldn't help but said, "But junior brother, have you ever thought that no matter what method you use to build a foundation, the success rate will not increase. Instead of mediocre foundation building, it's better to give it a try." , greater achievement."

This sentence is indeed well-intentioned, like a teacher-like teaching.

Yunli, who was about to congeal his pulse, knew very well that in the world of cultivating immortals, the foundation-building realm was a watershed. Most accomplished cultivators used spiritual objects to build their foundations. If the starting point is one step higher, they will surpass ordinary people in the future. And the Foundation Establishment Pill is only prepared for mediocre people. If you use the Foundation Establishment Pill, unless you encounter a great opportunity, it is difficult to have a good future.

As a senior who has been paying attention to Zhou Shu, seeing Zhou Shu's various performances, he doesn't want Zhou Shu to become a mediocre person.

Zhou Shu was very grateful when he heard Yunli's words, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother Yun, Junior Brother understands."

Yun Li frowned, "Why do you still choose Zhu Jidan when you understand?"

Zhou Shu laughed, "Because the foundation building pill is expensive."

A flash of anger flashed in Yun Li's eyes, and he scolded, "Ridiculous!"

"Brother, don't get angry," Zhou Shu explained quickly, "The first is because the Foundation Establishment Pill is rare and expensive, so of course I want it, and the second is because I don't need the Sword Condensation Grass, but I will still use spiritual objects to build foundations. Strive for a higher starting point."

If Yunli realized something, he looked at Zhou Shu with doubts, "Oh? You mean to use other spiritual objects?"

"right."

Zhou Shu nodded seriously, "If I use Condensed Sword Grass to build the foundation, then the direction will be determined, and I will be destined to be a sword cultivator in the future. I don't want to do this, so I don't need Condensed Sword Grass."

"Is sword repair bad?"

Yun Li was quite puzzled, "In my opinion, although your aptitude is not good, you are very talented in sword tactics, and being able to resist Elder Shen's Chunhui sword intent shows this. If you concentrate on sword cultivation, you will probably be successful Not to mention Nascent Soul, Golden Core should not be difficult, but if you are distracted by other things, you may not accomplish anything. Otherwise, physical training is also fine, I can persuade Elder Shen to replace Ningjiancao with Heiyu."

Zhou Shu was grateful for Yunli's sincerity, but still shook his head, "Brother, I practice swords, but I don't do swordsmanship. I train body, and I don't do body training. I don't want to do anything."

Zhou Shu has always had his own ideas, he will not do simple talisman or sword cultivation, physical training or something, that is tantamount to self-limitation, his goal is to live a long life and become a fairy, rather than focusing on swords and talismans. Such things, those are just means of cultivating immortals, not the end.

He has the ability to deduce and calculate, no matter what he does, he can get twice the result with half the effort, such as Dan Fu Jian array, even Zen, etc., and so on, he will dabble in it at that time, and will not be limited to one point.

"Sword training, but not sword training, body training, but not physical training?"

Yun Li paused, and thought for a while, "I see, I understand, but your thinking is simple. If you don't devote yourself wholeheartedly to anything, it will be difficult to get the Tao. What are you talking about cultivating immortals? All cultivators obtain the Tao from one thing. They first obtain the Tao and then become immortals. Such as the way of swordsmanship, the way of alchemy, etc., they have been accumulated for thousands of years and are full of truth. They are very promising to become immortals."

"Brother is right."

Zhou Shu nodded his head, remained silent for a while, then raised his head, with a strange look in his eyes, Jie Jie was like a star, "These swordsmanship, talisman and dao are mostly the crystallization of inheritance after tens of millions of years, and they do contain the essence of becoming an immortal." There are only a few people in the world who can learn the Tao and become immortals from it. There are only a handful of them, and you can count them on your hands. Instead of struggling to find the way to become an immortal among countless sword cultivators and alchemists, it is better to try to create your own way."

"My own way."

Yun Li muttered a few words, staring at Zhou Shu, "The ambition of junior brother is really amazing."

For the first time, there was a surprised expression on his face, and even a bit of admiration. In his eyes, Zhou Shu was very different now.

Zhou Shu shook his head hastily, "Brother is so talkative for a while, I made him laugh."

Yun Li shook his head, "Since you have such an ambition, I won't say anything more, I hope you won't regret it in the future."

Zhou Shu is very serious, "I will definitely walk on the path I chose." (
