one day,
Two days,
Three days,
…
As time passed, a thick layer of black and yellow blood slowly emerged on Zhao Sheng's body. These were impurities deep inside his body and hidden tissue injuries that had once accumulated.
The ultimate goal of a cultivator's practice is to achieve immortality, and during the practice process, physical fitness will naturally improve.
Reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage is the first qualitative change, shedding the mortal body and evolving to a higher level of life. It is like a piece of stubborn stone, which, through polishing and refining, gradually transforms into beautiful jade.
Eliminating impurities from the body is equivalent to tempering oneself and accelerating the process of "becoming jade".
The changes are subtle, but the effects are incredibly noticeable.
I don't know how much time has passed,
In the dark, Zhao Sheng suddenly felt his mind clear and his thoughts moved as fast as lightning.
At this moment, he suddenly had an epiphany, and the second step of foundation building was achieved.
Zhao Sheng was neither sad nor happy. His mind was elevated to the extreme. He silently mobilized the spiritual power in his dantian, and a wisp of liquid spiritual power began to flow upstream along the twelve-story meridians.
Under the guidance of divine will, this strand of spiritual power quickly touched the purple palace barrier.
And at this moment, Zhao Sheng suddenly had an idea, and a sword light suddenly appeared in his mind. The experience of being killed countless times in the past all condensed into a dazzling sword light in this moment.
The sword flashed like lightning, easily splitting the purple palace in half.
In an instant, the dark and silent Zifu seemed to have become a newborn world. The sword light broke through the darkness and lit up the first ray of divine light in eternity.
The divine light was like a seed. As more spiritual power poured into the Purple Palace, it sprouted and grew vigorously. Then, it involuntarily broke through the Purple Palace and expanded rapidly outward.
The next moment, Zhao Sheng suddenly "saw" everything within fourteen feet around him, from the big ones like Zhao Xuanjing and his son who were watching from afar to the small ones like the water vapor particles in the air, every detail was clearly visible, just like observing the lines on the palm of your hand.
The spiritual consciousness appears in the Purple Palace, and the third step of foundation building is a complete success!
Zhao Sheng gradually drew his spiritual energy back to his dantian, and his consciousness also subsided.
At the same time, water clouds suddenly condensed out of thin air around him, turning into a waterfall that rushed down and continuously washed over his body.
Then, the waterfall carrying a large amount of blood and dirt turned into a water dragon that was as thick as a bucket and five or six feet long.
The water dragon gently swung its tail, raised its head, flew out of the slope, exploded with a loud bang, and finally fell into the abyss.
At this moment, Zhao Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, and the divine light in his eyes shot out for more than an inch, and disappeared in an instant.
"I see, haha!"
Zhao Sheng looked ecstatic, stood up suddenly, and couldn't help laughing.
After reincarnation for four times, he finally advanced to the foundation-building stage!
At this time, Zhao Keru walked forward quickly with a smile on his face and praised: "Chonghe, congratulations on your advancement to the Foundation Establishment stage!"
"Uncle Qi, you are amazing! You succeeded in one try."
Zhao Xuanjing also came over and couldn't help but marvel at it.
Bang!
Upon hearing this, Zhao Keru slapped him on the thigh and scolded him: "What are you talking about, you little bastard! If you can't speak, don't speak!"
Zhao Sheng suppressed his smile, looked at the father and son, and advised: "Uncle Ru, there's no need to make a fuss. Jing'er has always been like this. There's no need to be too harsh on him."
Zhao Xuanjing quickly said, "Seventh Uncle is right. I've always been slow to speak, so you don't have to hit me all the time, Dad. Besides, I'm already over 30 years old."
"No matter how old you are, you are still my son. It is only natural for a father to beat his son."
Zhao Keru finished his argument,
Pa! He slapped his son again.
"Dad, you are right!" Zhao Xuanjing said honestly.
He had a body of steel, and this little force was like a spring breeze on his face; he didn't feel any pain at all.
Beside him, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but laugh as he watched the father and son's unique way of getting along.
After building the foundation, the cultivator's strength will experience a period of rapid growth, and Zhao Sheng is no exception.
After relaxing for a day, he immediately went back into seclusion and practice.
As soon as Zhao Sheng started to practice Xuanling Gong, the Qi sea in his Dantian seemed to become an all-devouring black hole, and the cloud-like spiritual energy that filled the air under the spiritual peach tree was quickly sucked in.
If there were outsiders present, they would be able to see a cloud-like tornado vortex quickly forming above Zhao Sheng's head, with the end of the vortex pointing directly to his Dantian Qi Sea.
At this moment, the branches and leaves of the spiritual peach tree suddenly moved without wind, and as they swayed back and forth, countless mysterious light spots were sprinkled from the tips of the leaves.
In an instant, wind and clouds quickly rose on the slope, and more water spirit energy was attracted from the sea of fog.
Two years passed in a flash.
Under the spiritual peach tree, Zhao Sheng sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and his spiritual consciousness probed into his dantian. He saw that a shallow "puddle" had accumulated in the depths of his qi sea, and wisps of "water vapor" continued to rise from the liquid. The water vapor carried a large amount of mist-like spiritual power, which was then sucked into the vortex and turned into drops of spiritual rain, which returned to the puddle.
Zhao Sheng opened his eyes with satisfaction. After two years of hard training, he not only consolidated his foundation-building realm, but also raised his cultivation to the middle level of the first level.
In another seven or eight years, it is very likely that he would break through to the second level of foundation building.
After a cultivator reaches the foundation-building stage, it becomes increasingly difficult to improve his cultivation.
Sometimes it is very common that one cannot reach a higher level in ten or eight years. More often than not, once one reaches a certain level, one's cultivation may stop forever.
There are many reasons for this, such as going astray, flaws in the skills, damage to the meridians and body, indulgence in pleasure, being too old, etc.
Fortunately, the Xuanling Gong that Zhao Sheng mainly practiced was upright and peaceful. Although his progress was slow, if he continued to practice it with perseverance, he would be able to successfully cultivate to the state of great perfection in foundation building.
Zhao Sheng felt that with his inferior qualifications, it would be difficult for him to even reach the late stage of foundation building in this life, and there was almost no need to consider forming a golden elixir after the foundation building was completed.
Finish the exercise and stand up.
Zhao Sheng pinched his fingers together, and then a miniature water dragon as thick as an arm, with distinct scales and claws, appeared vividly in the air in front of him.
If you look closely, you can see that this water dragon is almost exactly the same as the cloud dragon from decades ago.
Because the memory was too profound, Zhao Sheng subconsciously replicated the Cloud Dragon after he mastered the Water Dragon Chant spell.
"go!"
With a low roar, the water dragon flew quickly to the spiritual peach tree, and its flexible and slender body spun around the trunk at a high speed. At the same time, a large cloud of mist quickly emerged under its body.
These clouds rich in spiritual energy continuously nourish the peach trees, making their branches and leaves more green and spiritual.
Seeing this, Zhao Sheng nodded with satisfaction.
Since he established his foundation, he has used different water techniques three times a day to water the spiritual peach tree.
The reason for doing this is, firstly, to practice magic, to increase the speed and power of spells, and secondly, to speed up the growth of the spiritual peach tree.
Three days later, Zhao Sheng was practicing under the spiritual peach tree.
At this moment, a sizzling sound as if something was corroding suddenly came from above.
Zhao Sheng suddenly opened his eyes and looked up.
In the clouds more than five meters high above the slope, there was an area as big as a washbasin that was dyed blood red.
