Cultivation starts with taming beasts

"Alas, it's not that easy to build a foundation."

"To be honest, I have already tried to break through the bottleneck of foundation building a few months ago, but unfortunately I made a mistake and not only failed, but was seriously injured and damaged my vitality."

"That's why my grandfather arranged for me to recuperate in the Treasure Pavilion and manage the store to exercise my character. But I failed this time and I don't know if I will have the opportunity to break through the foundation building stage again before I turn 60."

Huangfu Xuan described his failure with a bitter face.

Qi Yunxian was also incredulous when he heard it, and asked with some doubts,

"Did you, Huangfu Daoyou, break through the foundation building stage directly without taking the foundation building pill?"

Huangfu Xuan has the talent of a superior spiritual root. Even without the foundation building pill, he has a 60% chance of achieving foundation building.

With the financial resources of the Huangfu family, even if he gets a foundation building pill with one pattern to increase the probability by 30%, his success rate can reach 90%. How can there be a possibility of failure?

Is there any other unknown secret?

"Alas, this matter is hard to describe."

Huangfu Xuan also spoke with a bitter face,

"As early as a year ago, my Huangfu family secretly purchased a one-pattern foundation-building pill, which was personally brought back by my grandfather, but the news leaked out at some point, and we were actually killed by a cultivator in the late stage of foundation-building.

My twelfth uncle and third uncle who went with us were killed directly. My grandfather had no choice but to lead the enemy away with the foundation-building pill alone, but even so, he could not keep the foundation-building pill, and was seriously injured. He has not fully recovered until now."

"That foundation-building pill has consumed the accumulation of the entire Huangfu family for more than ten years, and even caused Xuan's uncle to sacrifice and grandfather to be seriously injured. How can I I dared to ask my family to buy me a second foundation-building pill, so I could only try to build my foundation directly. Unfortunately, I have a 40% chance of failure. "

Qi Yunxian sighed when he heard this, and comforted him casually,

"Huangfu Daoyou, you are only in your forties this year. Even if you fail this time, you will have another chance to impact your foundation before the sixty-year limit after your vitality is restored. With your experience of failure last time, you will definitely succeed next time. You don't have to take this failure too seriously."

The sixty-year limit mentioned by Qi Yunxian refers to the age limit for cultivators to impact their foundations during the Qi training period. Once a cultivator is over sixty, his blood will begin to decline with age.

It is recognized in the world of cultivation that the best age for a cultivator to impact his foundation is before sixty, after which the probability of impacting his foundation will drop madly, and there is almost no possibility of success, unless the person can find some natural treasures to take.

Otherwise, even if you are a heavenly spiritual root, you cannot break this age limit.

The life span of a cultivator in the Qi training period is about one hundred and twenty-five years old.

The foundation-building period doubled to 250 years.

The purple mansion period increased to 500 years.

The life span of the golden elixir reached 1,000 years.

The life span of the primordial infant soared to 3,000 years.

It is said that the top-level spirit transformation can reach a life span of 10,000 years.

Therefore, the younger the cultivator is when he breaks through the realm, the better. The younger you are, the higher your potential is. Qi Yunxian broke through in his teens in his previous life, and the cultivator who broke through in his 50s is completely different from the cultivator who broke through in his 50s.

In this way, the importance of spiritual root talent to cultivators is highlighted.

In terms of the cultivation speed of low-grade spiritual roots, there is not enough cultivation resources to assist. By the time he cultivates to the peak of Qi Refining, his age has long exceeded the limit of 60, so there is no chance to break through the foundation.

Normal cultivation of medium-grade spiritual roots will at least have one chance to impact the foundation.

High-grade and earth-grade spiritual roots often have more than one opportunity to build the foundation.

As for heaven-grade spiritual roots below the golden elixir stage, there is basically no bottleneck. As long as the cultivation is reached, they will definitely break through successfully.

In the world of immortal cultivation, 80% of the immortal cultivators have low-grade spiritual roots.

Among the remaining 20%, most of them have medium-grade spiritual roots.

High-grade spiritual roots can be said to be one in a thousand.

And the earth-grade spiritual roots and heaven-grade spiritual roots above them are even rarer.

Generally, in forces without golden elixir and Yuanying,

medium-grade spiritual roots are the backbone.

For example, among the twelve foundation-building cultivators of the Qi family, only three have high-grade spiritual roots, one of whom is Qi Yongren, the head of the Qi family, and the rest have medium-grade spiritual roots. Among the guest elders, only Huangfu Qi, the head of the Huangfu family, has high-grade spiritual roots.

"Then I'll borrow your good words. Since fellow Daoist Yunxian has gone up to the second floor, I guess you want to purchase a top-grade magic weapon!"

Huangfu Xuan asked with a smile,

"Yes, I want a top-grade magic weapon of the spirit sword category, and a pill furnace."

Qi Yunxian also went straight to the point and directly stated his needs.

Huangfu Xuan looked at him with some doubt, and continuedSaid,

"As far as I know, Taoist Yunxian doesn't seem to know how to make pills! To be honest, the last foundation-building pill cost my family a lot of top-grade magic tools, and I bought another foundation-building pill from another auction house. Now there are only a few top-grade magic tools in the store."

When Huangfu Xuan waved his hand, several brocade boxes appeared on the tea table.

He opened the brocade boxes one by one, revealing the top-grade magic tools inside.

"As expected of the Huangfu family, in terms of the number of magical instruments, apart from the Qi family's treasure house, it is probably the best in Baiyun Island! I have recently become interested in alchemy, so I have been looking for an alchemy furnace."

Qi Yunxian looked at the top-grade magical instrument in front of him and said,

"So that's it. According to your requirements, the top-grade magical instruments of the spirit sword type are already rare, and last time my family sold a lot of top-grade magical instruments to buy foundation-building pills. Now only this Moon-Watching Sword meets your requirements."

Qi Yunxian carefully checked and found that although this sword is a top-grade magical instrument, it is a water-attributed magical instrument, which conflicts with his attributes. It is not impossible to use it, but it cannot exert all its strength.

"Although this sword is good, I have dual spiritual roots of fire and wood, and the cultivation method I practice is also a fire-attributed method. Under the conflict of water and fire, it can only exert 80% of its power at most."

For this kind of magical instrument containing the power of the five elements, it is better to use a magical instrument with the same attributes as yourself, which can not only maximize all the power, but even exert a stronger power beyond the ordinary.

"That's really unavoidable. This alchemy furnace does have a top-grade magic weapon with fire attribute."

Huangfu Xuan saw that Qi Yunxian was not even interested in testing the sword, and knew that he did not like the Moon-Watching Sword, so he turned around and began to introduce the alchemy furnace.

"This Yanyun Ding was originally reserved by a certain alchemist, but unfortunately, after the ancestor was injured last time, the refining of the weapon was not normal, causing the low-grade spiritual weapon originally intended to be refined to unexpectedly drop in grade and become a top-grade magic weapon.

But the material of this top-grade magic weapon is completely made according to the spiritual weapon, so the price is higher than the magic weapon of the same level. Considering our friendship, this alchemy furnace can be sold to you for 8,000 spirit stones."
