Chapter 128: Perfection of Fire Path Foundation
Taixuan Holy Land took great care of Song Lingxue, specially opened a separate residence for her and introduced a spiritual spring.
The jade pool with a square area of three meters was filled with spiritual spring water, which circulated day and night.
Due to the influence of the environment of heaven and earth, the water temperature was extremely high, which was just right for cultivators to quickly stretch their numb muscles and bones.
The jade pool with a radius of three meters would not seem crowded even if two people bathed together.
"Why did you suddenly come to Taixuan? Will there be trouble? Where are my father and others?"
Song Lingxue's face, which had become more red, contained some worries.
Geng Yiyang's words before had made her a little uneasy, and she had always been a little worried about Chu Zheng's current situation.
The identity of a cultivator of another way was undoubtedly a huge hidden danger. If you were not careful, something big would happen.
"Father is in Juze, with your uncle's family. I have seen Lingqing before, and everything is fine."
Chu Zheng closed his eyes to rest, adjusting the Yuan Qi that had grown a lot in his body, and said casually:
"As for me, you don't have to worry about me, I know what's going on."
Before he finished speaking, he slowly raised his hand, and a necklace appeared in his palm. The dark blue clam pearls looked even more dazzling under the water light.
Song Lingxue's eyes lit up slightly, and she reached out to grab it.
She didn't like jewelry. When she was in the Song Mansion in the past, her clothes were all simple, but Chu Zheng remembered to bring her a gift, which was enough to make her happy.
"I spent some time looking for that piece of martial arts wall, and it has been completely repaired, which can save you a lot of detours."
Chu Zheng took a breath, rubbed the teeth marks on his shoulders and neck, and felt a little helpless.
Song Lingxue's habit of leaving marks on him always reminded him of certain animals.
Hearing about the broken wall of the martial arts, Song Lingxue's attention was instantly drawn back, and she was overjoyed for a moment: "Where is it?"
In the martial arts, she is now like crossing a river by feeling the stones, with difficulty. Every step she takes requires a lot of effort, and she urgently needs a guiding light.
Chu Zheng stood up and walked out of the spirit pool, put on his robes, and walked into the inner room. Song Lingxue hurriedly followed.
The fully restored martial arts wall is about three feet wide and nearly half a foot long. The magical marks on it and the complete map of the practice route are clearly visible.
The moment she saw the Xuantian martial arts wall, Song Lingxue's eyes could not be moved away.
For a martial arts cultivator who is groping, the lifelong efforts left by a martial god are better than all treasures.
Song Lingxue was very fascinated by it. Chu Zheng did not disturb her, stepped out of the door, and walked towards the mountainside.
Li Mingzhou and other martial arts practitioners were arranged on the mountainside. The temperature here was not as scorching as that on the top of the mountain, so it was more comfortable to live there.
Without Li Mingzhou, the possibility of Song Lingxue coming into contact with the original piece of martial arts remnant was very small.
If it weren't for Song Lingxue's martial arts cultivation as a cover, it would be difficult for him to escape the search of several major holy places at the beginning, which helped him gain a very precious period of time.
From this point of view, Li Mingzhou was very kind to him.
After not seeing him for a long time, Li Mingzhou looked more energetic than at the beginning. At a glance, he was only forty years old, with black hair, extremely vigorous blood, and his cultivation was completely stabilized at the second level of Yuan Gang Realm.
The other martial arts masters have also successfully condensed their qi into Gang.
With living examples, their road will be much easier.
Although the Taixuan Holy Land is a bit hot and unbearable, its spiritual energy is much stronger than the outside world, and practicing here is much faster than the outside world.
These martial arts masters are already quite old, and have seen many ups and downs. They have long learned to take things as they come, and they don't seem to be uncomfortable at the moment.
"Chu Zheng? Why are you here?!"
Seeing Chu Zheng, Li Mingzhou was a little surprised.
They were very isolated from the news, and didn't know much about the outside world. They knew very little about Chu Zheng's current situation, but they knew that he was in danger.
"General Li." Chu Zheng greeted with a smile.
"How can I still be a general now?" Li Mingzhou shook his head, his face slightly dim.
From an ordinary martial artist, he directly came into contact with a holy place for cultivating immortals.
The span between these two is difficult for many cultivators to complete in their lifetime, but he did it in an instant. It can only be said that fate is playing tricks on people.
"I came here to give you something." As he spoke, Chu Zheng took out a copy of the rubbing:
"You gave me a fragmentary copy, and I'll give you a complete copy today."
"This..."
Li Mingzhou was stunned for a moment, looking at the rubbing in Chu Zheng's hand, his breath sank.
No one knew the importance of the fragmentary copy better than him. It was with the fragmentary copy that he deduced part of the path after martial arts.
The reason why Song Lingxue could condense Qi and transform into Gang so quickly was also closely related to this.
"It's not easy for us to stay alive now. Isn't this map too precious..."
After coming to his senses, Li Mingzhou hesitated for a while. He didn't think he had helped Chu Zheng a lot, most of it was just a piece of cake.
Now they are still alive and can continue to practice martial arts, which is inseparable from Chu Zheng, and they have already received a favor.
"It's just a copy of the map."
Chu Zheng stuffed the copy into Li Mingzhou's hands and said in a deep voice:
"You guys just practice here and wait and see. I'll find a way to deal with the rest."
The original copy of the incomplete map was also very important to Li Mingzhou. Li Mingzhou still gave it to him. Chu Zheng always remembered this favor.
Now there is still some time before the arrival of the martial arts people. Li Mingzhou and others may not only have the way to leave Cangyun Realm with the people in the martial arts hall.
There are still some opportunities.
If it is not to the point of extreme helplessness, Chu Zheng does not want Song Lingxue and Li Mingzhou to leave Cangyun Realm with the people in the martial arts hall.
The universe is too big and the starry sky is too vast. It is difficult for ordinary cultivators to find the boundary in their lifetime.
Once separated, it is hard to say whether there will be a chance to see each other again.
Chu Zheng had a certain concept of the universe in his previous life. This kind of distance that is often calculated in millions of light years is enough to make people despair just by hearing it.
"I caused you trouble."
Li Mingzhou felt a little ashamed. He had always thought that it was because of him that Song Lingxue had come to this point and alarmed the Holy Land.
If he hadn't taken Song Lingxue to find the broken wall of martial arts, perhaps nothing would have happened.
"Don't think too much. The current situation has nothing to do with you." Chu Zheng frowned slightly. He couldn't explain the reason to Li Mingzhou.
After a while, Chu Zheng left the residence of the martial arts masters and went straight to the Dan Hall of Taixuan Holy Land without stopping.
He didn't want to waste time. He wanted to improve his foundation as soon as possible and speed up his own cultivation progress.
Without strength, everything is empty talk.
…………
…………
The Dan Hall is located on a spiritual peak in the central area of Taixuan, not far from the main peak. The temperature here is obviously higher than other areas.
With Chu Zheng's current cultivation, he was sweating slightly when approaching this place. It is estimated that ordinary Lingquan Realm cultivators need to protect their bodies with spiritual energy before they can approach.
The surface of Lingfeng is a bare rock wall. The entire mountain of Lingfeng is hollowed out, with many alchemy rooms.
When Taixuan was at its peak, the alchemy rooms here were in short supply and almost full every day.
Nowadays, most of them have been idle for many years. The doors of most of the alchemy rooms are covered with thick dust and no footprints.
After entering the mountain road, the temperature suddenly rose a lot. The breath inhaled into the body was like a ball of fire burning, burning the heart and lungs.
Chu Zheng calmed the breath in his body, went down all the way, and soon entered a cave.
The cave was more than thirty feet long and wide, and in the center was a nearly ten-foot-high alchemy furnace, with a faint blue flame burning at the bottom of the furnace.
After entering the cave, the temperature around it actually dropped a little. Chu Zheng saw the clue at a glance. The scorching breath had been absorbed by the furnace, and it was contained inside without leaking out.
This furnace must be a rare treasure.
"Holy Son."
Gong Rulong stood beside the furnace with his hands behind his back, nodded and greeted. Chu Zheng had just approached this place, and he had already noticed it.
"I'm sorry to come here rashly and disturb the elder's alchemy." Chu Zheng bowed.
"It's okay. Alchemy doesn't require full concentration all the time. What can I do for you, Holy Son?"
Gong Rulong waved his hand and moved his eyes back to the furnace.
"Disciple wants to obtain some spiritual objects to improve the quality of the immortal base." Chu Zheng said bluntly.
Hearing this, Gong Rulong's eyes moved slightly, and he stroked his snow-white beard, and asked with a little curiosity: "May I ask what level of immortal foundation the Saint has now?"
"Sixth level."
"It is indeed a little low. It must be because the cultivation environment was bad and there were no spiritual objects when the foundation was built."
"Elder, you have a keen eye, it is indeed so." Chu Zheng complimented.
Immortal foundations are divided into three, six, and nine levels. Only those above the seventh level are of the highest level and have the potential to become immortals.
The best among the top-grade immortal bones have a certain chance of condensing a seventh-level immortal foundation.
With his current super-grade immortal bones, the immortal foundation he built should have started with the seventh level, unless there was some problem when building the foundation.
From this perspective, Gong Rulong's guess is not wrong at all.
It's just that he had the immortal foundation first, and then the immortal bones grew, so the order was slightly deviated, so it naturally cannot be explained by common sense.
"Holy Son, please wait."
Gong Rulong raised his hand and cast a spiritual spell, which sank into the furnace. The fire under the furnace suddenly changed.
After a moment, the flames under the furnace suddenly surged out and were swallowed by Gong Rulong, followed by a light sound.
Bang——
The heavy furnace lid flew high, and dozens of spiritual lights flew out of it and fell into Gong Rulong's palm. Then he threw one at Chu Zheng:
"Holy Son, please take a look and see how good this furnace of spiritual pills is."
Chu Zheng took it subconsciously, and the prompt of the panel soon came to his mind.
[Soul Cleansing Pill (Level 4): Soul-related pill that can cleanse impurities in the soul and improve cultivation. When the pill was formed, the fire was too fast, and a small part of the medicinal power was lost, but it is still a masterpiece of a master and can be repaired (0/20)]
"The elixir that the elder refined is of the highest quality."
Chu Zheng was a little surprised. Refining a fourth-level elixir was so easy. Gong Rulong's attainments in alchemy were indeed amazing.
The pill in his hand was extremely precious to the Divine Infant cultivators and was priceless in the outside world.
"There are some flaws in this furnace of elixir. Can the Saint see the clues?" Gong Rulong asked casually.
"It should be because I was a little hasty when collecting the elixir, so the medicinal power was lost. I disturbed the elder and damaged a furnace of top-grade elixir."
Hearing this, Chu Zheng thought that Gong Rulong was expressing some dissatisfaction, and immediately apologized.
"You also know how to make pills?"
Gong Rulong originally just asked casually, but after hearing Chu Zheng's answer, he was a little surprised.
With Chu Zheng's current cultivation speed, he actually has the energy to dabble in alchemy, which is really too exaggerated.
"I know a little bit, I can only distinguish the quality of pills, I dare not say I know it." Chu Zheng shook his head immediately.
"With your eyesight, it's a waste if you don't learn alchemy."
Gong Rulong sighed for a long time, his face full of regret, but he didn't want Chu Zheng to practice alchemy.
For a monster like Chu Zheng, there is no need to waste energy on this little path. If he delays his own cultivation progress because of alchemy, it will be more than worth the loss.
"There are still a few Tianyan grass in the treasure house, which are used to improve the quality of the fairy base. It's just right. Saint son, wait a moment, I'll be back soon."
Before he finished speaking, Gong Rulong's trace disappeared in the cave.
After a moment, Gong Rulong turned around again, and a foot-long strange grass appeared in his palm. It had six leaves, and the leaves were edgeless and blood-red, like a group of burning flames.
"The effect of the Tianyan grass is extremely strong. It needs to be swallowed in six times. This bottle of Snow Lotus Pill can protect the internal organs of the Holy Son and reduce the torture."
Gong Rulong obviously thought very carefully and handed over the Tianyan grass and a jade bottle:
"The Holy Son, take it now, and I will protect you."
[Tianyan Grass (fifth level): a top-grade spiritual object, a spiritual grass that grows in the reverse direction of the divine flame from the sky, using wood to overcome fire, can greatly increase the affinity for fire-attributed spiritual energy. ]
[Snow Lotus Pill (third level): It is made from three thousand years of nine-leaf snow lotus. It is extremely cold in nature and needs to be taken with caution. The cold air can easily damage the internal organs and is difficult to remove. 】
Chu Zheng's expression changed. He did not refuse. He immediately tore off a leaf, sat cross-legged, and then poured out a snow lotus pill and swallowed it all.
The fifth-level spiritual objects are very useful for the cultivators in the God Transformation Realm. Their medicinal properties are naturally extremely fierce. Chu Zheng is not afraid of pain. It is naturally good to suffer less.
The entrance of the Tianyan grass instantly turned into a ball of extremely blazing energy. Attracted by the fire-based Dao base in the dantian, it went straight to the lower dantian.
This energy passed through the internal organs along the way, bringing an unbearable burning pain.
The cold and chilly snow lotus pill can only play a certain role in resisting. The so-called difficult-to-remove cold air has no place to hide in front of the Tianyan grass, and is consumed at an alarming rate.
Chu Zheng concentrated his energy and sent this energy into the dantian.
The fire-based Dao base shook with a bang, glowed slightly, and immediately began to expand and transform. The other four Dao bases were squeezed and retreated to the side.
Ka--
After a while, the immortal bone behind Chu Zheng stretched, and the speed of absorbing spiritual energy increased. His fire-type foundation rose one level without any obstacles, and entered the seventh level.
A seven-level immortal foundation means the ability to become an immortal, but this is far from the upper limit of Chu Zheng.
Chu Zheng opened his eyes, tore off another piece of Tianyan grass and stuffed it into his mouth, and continued to improve his fire-type foundation.
After swallowing two more pieces of Tianyan grass, the red foundation rose again, and rose one level, reaching the eighth level!
The eighth-level foundation, stepping over the immortal tribulation and entering the realm of true immortals, is almost certain.
After a while, Chu Zheng opened his eyes again, poured all the snow lotus pills in the jade bottle into his mouth, and then ate the remaining three pieces of Tianyan grass, together with the rhizomes, in batches.
Until the medicinal power of Tianyan grass was completely digested, Chu Zheng's foundation underwent another transformation, and it rose a level.
Rich red fairy light emanated from Chu Zheng's body, dyeing the entire cave red.
"Nine-layer fairy foundation, the potential of the fairy king..."
Seeing this, Gong Rulong looked a little dazed for a moment. The Sky Flame Grass was just an auxiliary, stimulating Chu Zheng's own potential.
Nine-layer fairy foundation, stepping into the realm of true fairy, is a foregone conclusion, becoming a heavenly monarch is almost certain, and has the qualifications to touch the realm of the fairy king.
Most of the ordinary super-quality fairy bones entering the Tao are at the level of the eighth-layer fairy foundation, and there are very few who can forge the ninth-layer fairy foundation.
Chu Zheng frowned slightly and began to sort out the disordered five elements in his dantian.
This time, the improvement of the fire element foundation was too fierce, causing the five elements in the dantian to be unbalanced again.
Now, the Fire Element Dao Foundation occupies half of the Dantian, almost monopolizing it, pushing the other four Dao Foundations to the other side.
If there is no support from the Five Elements Yuan-shaping Pill, the balance of the five elements will be broken in an instant. At that time, the well-built Dao Foundation will even be at risk of collapse.
After a while, Chu Zheng slowly opened his eyes, with a little disappointment in his eyes.
After the Dao Foundation was raised to the ninth level, he vaguely realized that there was still room for further improvement above the ninth level of the Dao Foundation!
However, he can only stop here temporarily. At least before the other Dao Foundations are upgraded, he even has to suppress the power of the Fire Element Dao Foundation.
