The mortal self is the spiritual root of heaven

Chapter 24 Foundation Building Period! ! !
After bidding farewell to Han Li, Zhou Xun planned to enter a state of seclusion and practice and enter the foundation building stage as soon as possible.

But before going into seclusion, he had to go to his master's cave.Because when he left last time, Ancestor Linghu asked Zhou Xun to find him in a few days.

A ray of light flew through the mountains, and then landed in front of a valley.It is the valley where the ancestor Linghu's cave is located.

Zhou Xun took out the token and played a magic formula.The fog in front of him opened a passage, and Zhou Xun walked in.

Passing through the vibrant medicinal fields, we arrived at the cave of ancestor Linghu.Zhou Xun found that the ancestor had gone into seclusion, the door of the quiet room was closed tightly, and the door was covered with restrictions.

There are two jade slips and several jade bottles placed on the stone table in the hall.It was obviously left by ancestor Linghu, so Zhou Xun quickly picked it up and checked it.

One of them was the message given to him by Ancestor Linghu.

"My child, my master has been in seclusion for at least ten years and as long as five or sixty years. I cannot teach you in a short period of time. However, my master has engraved the insights he gained from practicing the Red Flame True Art over the years on the stone next to him. Inside the jade slip."

"This can basically solve your cultivation problems. If you still have any other questions, you can find the senior sisters and brothers in the valley. I have already told them."

"Master has prepared some treasures for you. They are all placed in the stone room numbered B and you can take them yourself. The stone room C contains the techniques and secret techniques that the teacher has collected over the years. If you are interested, you can also choose one. Second practice.”

"Remember not to be greedy for too much. The Tao is bigger and broader than finer and deeper. I have seen too many monks like this. They are greedy for too much. They have practiced many spells and secret techniques and claim to be geniuses. They seem powerful, but in fact everything is useless. Sparse and ordinary, vulnerable.”

"However, these treasures and techniques are restricted. Only those with cultivation level above the foundation building stage can open them."

"And in the past few years, you just stay inside the door and don't come out until the foundation building period. Practice hard, your cultivation level during the Qi training period is really too low!"

Zhou Xun read the message from Patriarch Linghu, and then checked the cultivation insights next to him.Discovered that Ancestor Linghu understood every level of the Red Flame True Art.Every easily encountered problem is explained clearly, worthy of the Yuanying Patriarch.

Then he picked up the bottles of elixirs.Opening the bottles one by one and smelling them, they were all high-level qi-training elixirs.There is also a bottle that contains the Foundation Establishment Pill.There will be two of them this week.

After reading this, Zhou Xun went to the No. B stone room to check.Discovering that there was indeed a ban on the door, Zhou Xun tried to crack it, but he couldn't open it.Then I went to the C-shaped stone chamber to try, but it still couldn't be opened.

Zhou Xun shook his head, thinking that it would be great to just give these treasures to me, why do I have to wait for the foundation building period to get them.

In fact, this was the good intention of Ancestor Linghu.Zhou Xun is just a monk at the ninth level of qi training. He may be called a small master among casual practitioners, but in this Yellow Maple Valley, he is indeed at the middle to lower level.

If I give you a treasure, I can't help but think that I have it and run out of Yellow Maple Valley to cause trouble.With the level of cultivation during the Qi training period, it is easy for something to happen.Besides, how could there not be a few disciples missing in this Yellow Maple Valley?

It would be better to just give him some cultivation elixirs, and then let him out after he has reached the foundation-building stage and has the ability to protect himself.

Seeing that he couldn't open the restriction, Zhou Xun had no choice but to give up and put away the jade slip and the elixir.

. . .

Qilin Pavilion is a place dedicated to raising and taming spiritual beasts in Huang Maple Valley. It is one of the most important places in Huang Maple Valley.

When Zhou Xun descended from the sky and landed on the welcoming platform of Qilin Pavilion, where the entire green hill belonged to Qilin Pavilion, a low-level female disciple came over.

"Is this junior brother here to rent spirit beasts?" After saying this crisply, the female disciple, who was only one or two years older than Zhou Xun, looked expectant.

Zhou Xun smiled lightly and said:

"I'm here to foster spiritual beasts."

"Junior brother is actually here to foster the spirit beast, but the foster care fee is quite high," the girl said in surprise.She was worried that the boy in front of her didn't know the price.

Because the average monthly income of qi training disciples in Huang Maple Valley is only 3 spirit stones. "It doesn't matter, I don't know how much it will cost." Zhou Xun smiled lightly. He still had the money to foster the spirit beast.

"The first-level and elementary spirit beasts need one spirit stone for one month, the middle-level spirit beasts need two spirit stones for one month, the high-level spirit beasts need three spirit stones for one month, and the top-level spirit beasts need four spirit stones for one month," the girl said seriously. .She couldn't believe that this young man was willing to spend so many spiritual stones to foster spiritual beasts.

"Here are 100 spirit stones. I'm not sure how long they will be fostered. You can just put them in." Zhou Xun took out a mid-level spirit stone from his storage bag and handed it to the girl.

The girl looked at the boy in front of her in surprise.He didn't expect that a young man whose cultivation level was worse than his own would casually take out an intermediate spiritual stone.This would require her to save up for three years without eating or drinking.

The girl took the spirit stone, looked at Zhou Xun a few more times and said:
"Where is your spirit beast? What level is it?"

"High-level one, I wonder where I need to put it?" Zhou Xun replied.

"Follow me," he said, leading Zhou Xun along a stone path.Came to another mountain.

The mountain is restricted and divided into habitats for spirit beasts of different sizes.Every piece of habitat is a fostering place for a spiritual beast.

The spirit beasts are fostered here, and there will be disciples responsible for feeding them.

"This is the place where high-level spirit beasts are fostered. Junior brother can just put the spirit beasts in," the girl said, pointing to a hillside that was nearly dozens of feet in size.

Zhou Xun nodded and placed the shoebill stork on the hillside.

After closing the restriction, the girl handed Zhou Xun a jade plaque.

"Next time you come to pick it up, just bring this jade token with you. If the spirit stones are not used up, all will be returned. If there are not enough spirit stones, you need to replenish the spirit stones before you can take it away." He paused.

"If the spirit stone is used up and you haven't come to pick it up for more than a year, this spirit beast will belong to Qilin Pavilion. You must remember to come and pick it up in time," the girl reminded again.

Zhou Xun nodded, thanked him, put away the jade plaque and left.

After leaving Qilin Pavilion, Zhou Xun went to the Pill Pavilion to exchange for enough Bigu Pills.Make preparations before retreat.

. . .

Inside the cave.

Zhou Xun opened all the restrictions.Although it is only the formation restriction that comes with the cave.But after all, it turned out to be the cave of the Danjie monks, and there was also a spring of spiritual eyes in it.

Therefore, it is unusual for foundation-building monks to break in. Even if the pill-building monks want to enter, they have to attack by force.Therefore security can be guaranteed.

Then Zhou Xun took a bath and burned incense, concentrated carefully, adjusted his physical and mental state to the best state, then entered the quiet room and began to retreat.

The so-called cultivation has no time.

The trees outside the cave changed from fallen leaves and withered yellow to full of green trees, and then from full of green trees to fallen leaves and withered yellow.

After more than a year, the door to the cave finally opened slowly.

A slender figure walked out of it and stretched.Then take a few deep breaths of air and exhale slowly.

"Finally, the foundation is established!"
