Zhang Shiping sat cross-legged on the futon. After meditating in the quiet room for several days and nights, he adjusted his body and mana to the best state he could adjust. Without hesitation, he lit the bronze lamp in front of him. , issued a few more red lights, activating the previously arranged spirit-gathering formation, nearly a thousand pieces of spiritual stones piled up in the formation, shining with red, yellow and blue light, corresponding to Zhang Shiping's three spiritual roots of fire, earth and wood, among which the red fire attribute spirit There are the most stones, fully accounting for 70%.

After the formation was activated, this pile of spirit stones slowly turned into pure spiritual energy in the formation, and the rising spiritual energy was so much that it turned into mist, ethereal.

Zhang Shiping picked up a small sapphire box in front of him, and tore off the yellow talisman attached to it. After he opened it, there was an emerald green elixir three times bigger than longan wrapped in red silk in the box.

Zhang Shiping picked up the elixir, and before he put it in his mouth, his nose could smell the scent of the elixir, which was more refreshing than the first-grade high-grade Huangya elixir he had eaten.

As soon as this emerald green foundation building pill was ingested, the medicinal power had already dissipated in Zhang Shiping's body before it went down the esophagus.

The icy and cool medicinal power flowed through Zhang Shiping's meridians with vitality, and finally Zhang Shiping felt warm in his dantian, and the refreshing feeling made his mind jumpy. The mana in it spun up and turned into a small vortex, constantly absorbing spiritual power.

Except for a small part of the Zhuji pill that was taken to protect the meridians in Zhang Shiping's body, the other warm medicinal power gathered in the dantian suddenly turned into a stream of heat, continuously pouring into the vortex, and the heat rose all over his body. , as if to roast him.

This hotness has not gone away, and there is a sense of suffocation, as if his mouth and nose are sealed and unable to breathe, but his body is like dead wood and ashes, and his own vitality is slowly dissipating. .

He was constantly alerting himself in his heart, guarding his mind tightly, Zhang Shiping tightly guarded his aura, and kept absorbing the aura of the outside world under the bronze light.

But because it was too late to turn Zhou Tian, ​​he could only roughly **** into the vortex of his dantian, and his meridians became more and more painful. Zhang Shiping, who originally planned to have one of his own foundation building pills, flipped his palm and took out another one from his storage bag. In the small sapphire box, another emerald green pill was eaten.

With the help of the second Foundation Establishment Pill, vigorous medicinal power was added to the dantian, and the extremely uncomfortable feeling of burning, suffocation, and withering, combined together, was greatly relieved.

The bronze lamp was gradually extinguished, and a bright moon rose from the east. For a whole day, the swirling vortex in Zhang Shiping's dantian gradually slowed down after the first drop of liquid mana fell. Zhang Shiping, who was covered in cold sweat, opened his eyes, a feeling of exhaustion welling up in his heart, but there was joy in his eyes, resisting the urge to laugh up to the sky.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Shiping poured a bottle of spiritual milk called Qingyan Spiritual Liquid from the storage bag. He bought this spirit liquid after many inquiries, and it could increase the chance of condensing the green spirit fire. Even though the price of this spiritual liquid was high, Zhang Shiping gritted his teeth and bought a bottle.

He sat cross-legged in the spirit-gathering array, refilled the bronze lamp with oil, and after lighting it, while absorbing the remaining medicinal power of the Foundation Establishment Pill in his body, he slowly absorbed the spiritual energy from the outside world into his meridians.

Until the moon was in the middle of the sky, Zhang Shiping got up, put away the bronze lamp and the remaining spirit stones in the spirit gathering array, walked out of the quiet room, flew up the mountain, and drank sweet spring water on the boulder on the top of the second-order spirit tea garden. Next, a blue flame appeared on his hand, and the water was evaporated.

Zhang Shiping lay on the boulder with his hands on the back of his head, looked at the clouds and moon in the sky, and gradually fell asleep.

…

At the foot of Jiaozuo Peak, stands a huge piece of jade about ten feet high, with the words "Jiaozuo Zong" written on it. Two monks who established the foundation flew from afar, landed in front of the boulder, and walked into the pavilion. The two were standing in the pavilion. Sitting cross-legged for chess, the chessboard is full of stars, black chess and white chess, two big dragons are entangled, and they both want to seize the opportunity and strangle each other.

The two foundation-building monks were fighting in full swing, and the other two monks who came to take over came to the pavilion, quietly looking at the black and white pieces on the chessboard without making a sound.

Not long after, another monk in black fell in front of the boulder at the foot of Jiaozuo Peak. It was Zhang Shiping who came to Jiaozuo Peak after waking up from his sleep on the boulder. He saw four people in the pavilion, all of whom were foundation-building monks. , walked towards Shiting.

A bearded green-robed monk who was watching chess saw a black-clothed disciple approaching. He thought it was a Qi-training disciple, but Zhang Shiping approached and found out that he was a foundation-building disciple.

Only then did he put on a good face, walked out of the stone pavilion, walked towards Zhang Shiping, clasped his fists and saluted, and said: "This is a fellow daoist who has just established a foundation, and I have met fellow daoist under Li Huanzhi."

Li Huanzhi saw that Zhang Shiping was still wearing the black clothes of the outer disciples, and there were more than a dozen fellow Taoists who had recently succeeded in building a foundation. He immediately concluded Zhang Shiping's intention for coming, and he must have come to visit the head of the sect, Uncle Chang.

"Next, Zhang Shiping, I have met Senior Brother Li." Zhang Shiping cupped his fists in return, he felt the other party's aura was calm, obviously not a monk like Zhang Shiping who had just built a foundation, Zhang Shiping secretly performed a sky eye technique when he just landed, and did not see the other party of cultivation.

Zhang Shiping didn't use his spiritual sense to sweep the opponent, which is extremely impolite, because a monk's spiritual sense is like an extension of his hands and feet, and he can't touch others directly.

"Come on, go this way." Li Huanzhi led Zhang Shiping to the stone pavilion. The two players who happened to be playing chess each kept black and white pieces. The foundation-building cultivator felt that it was no fun to play chess like this.

Li Huanzhi took out a sound transmission talisman, integrated it into the formation, and flew towards the main hall of Jiaozuo Peak.

Zhang Shiping followed to the stone pavilion, met with the other three, and introduced them to each other. Not long after, a red flame came from the top of Jiaozuo Peak and flew down the mountain with a whoosh. Li Huanzhi reached out to catch the flame. It was clearly a sound transmission jade slip.

He scanned the jade slips with his spiritual sense, and after getting permission, he took out a token, murmured words, and made dozens of gestures, flipping his fingers, dazzled. The white spiritual light emitted by the token became more and more intense, and after a circle in the air, the light condensed into a beam and shone on the large formation protecting Jiaozuo Peak.

The formation revealed a portal just enough to pass through people. After receiving permission, Zhang Shiping passed through immediately, and another foundation cultivator Chen Feng, who was with Li Huanzhi, also came in, leading Zhang Shiping along the direction of the bluestone steps in the mountain, UU Reading www. uukanshu. Com The two drove the flying magic weapon, stuck to the ground, and flew upwards. It didn't take long for them to see a continuous palace in front of them.

Guided by the disciples of the palace, Zhang Shiping re-entered the Jiaozuo Peak Hall after more than a year.

This time there was only Chang Younian in the main hall, and the smoke from the censer was wafting. The head of the golden elixir had closed his eyes to rest, but when he sensed Zhang Shiping coming, he opened his eyes and looked at him with a smile.

"Disciple Zhang Shiping, meet the master." Zhang Shiping saluted, and sat on the futon with Chang Younian's permission, and the two talked.

Then a disciple came in carrying a tray with a token and neatly folded clothes on it.

The inner disciples of Jiaozuo Sect also wear black clothes, but the styles are different from those of the outer disciples.

Chang Younian took out ten middle-grade spirit stones with sparkling aura from his storage bag, all of them were red and sparkling, and they were all middle-grade spirit stones with fire attribute.

Putting all these together in front of Zhang Shiping, Zhang Shiping looked at the ten middle-grade spirit stones in surprise, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"This is the Zongmen's reward for the foundation-builder monks. I see that you major in fire-attribute exercises, so I will give you ten medium-grade fire spirit stones." Chang Younian said to Zhang Shiping. The ten middle-grade spirit stones rewarded by the Zongmen to the foundation-building cultivators did not specify any attributes.

After Zhang Shiping took all the things in front of him, Chang Younian turned his hand over and took out a green jade tablet. The jade tablet gave off a hazy aura, and after a while, a map of Jiaozuo Zong was placed on the main hall, with large and small pieces on it. There are a lot of small spiritual mountains. "The foundation-building cultivators of our sect can choose a spiritual mountain as their cultivation cave. The ones marked with red dots already have owners, and the ones marked with green dots can be chosen." Zhang Shiping looked at the green dots Looking at it, he chose a second-order spiritual mountain named Ye Kunshan.
