Drunk Immortal Gourd

In four years, Qingyang has changed a lot. First of all, his age has reached forty, and his face has become more mature and stable. If you were an ordinary person, you would be a grandfather at this age, but it is not too old for a monk. Joining Qingyang can break through the Foundation Establishment in the near future. Compared with the two hundred years of life of a Foundation Establishment monk, forty years old is still youth.

Of course, Qingyang's cultivation has also reached the stage of perfecting Qi. In fact, Qingyang's cultivation has reached the stage of Qi refining more than a year ago, but he felt that the foundation seemed to be a little unstable, so he spent another year Spend more time consolidating your cultivation and constantly refining your true energy.

Now Qingyang's whole body's true energy has almost condensed to the limit of a Qi refining monk. If Qingyang participated in the inner courtyard competition with his current strength, Tong Yan's strength at that time would not be able to last long under Qingyang's hands. As for Kou Yuchang is even easier to deal with.

However, Qingyang also knows that his idea is very unreliable. Others cannot stand still and wait for him. As early as two years ago, Qingyang heard that Tong Yan successfully broke through to the foundation building stage and became one of their batch. The first foundation-building monk among his disciples, leaving others behind.

The situation is there. He has excellent qualifications, has the elder Jin Dan as his master, and has also obtained a foundation building pill. Breakthrough is a matter of course, and there is nothing to envy. What Qingyang needs to consider most now is himself. If he fails to build the foundation, everything will be in vain.

In the past four years, in addition to his cultivation, he has made huge gains in other aspects. First of all, he has completely mastered the Five Elements Sword Formation and has become more and more proficient in its use. The complete version of the Five Elements Sword Formation is several times more powerful than the Four Elements Sword Formation. Once used, it is extremely powerful.

If the Three-Element Sword Formation can only increase Qingyang's strength by a small level, the Four-Element Sword Formation can increase his strength by a small level. As for the Five-Element Sword Formation, it can directly increase his strength by a large level. In other words, with With his current cultivation level, he can fight even if he encounters a third-level foundation-building monk, and this improvement increases with his strength. The stronger the strength, the more powerful the sword array will be.

Because of the Concentration Art, Qingyang's spiritual thoughts were much stronger than those of monks at the same level. During this retreat, he also tried flying with a sword. Flying with a sword seems to be very exciting, but it is not that easy to practice, and it can even be said to be extremely embarrassing.

Qingyang first used his spiritual thoughts to control the green bamboo sword to fly into the air, and then jumped on the flying sword. Because the flying sword suddenly increased in weight, it sank suddenly, almost falling to the ground, and Qingyang became unsteady. , fell from the flying sword.

The space in the yard was too small, and the flying sword only flew about a foot high, and the speed was very slow. There was almost no danger to Qingyang at such a height. He boldly jumped on Feijian again. This time he was mentally prepared. Feijian was much more stable. Although it sank a little, it was not serious. Qingyang's feet were firmly nailed to Feijian. He went up and didn't fall down.

After gradually adapting to the weight of his body, Qingyang began to control the flying sword to move forward. Because he had to use his mind to control the flying sword while keeping his body stable, the difficulty seemed a bit high, so in a short time , Qingyang fell several times in the yard.

For Qingyang, who has a strong spiritual sense, it is not difficult to control a flying sword or even to carry a person. What is difficult is to do two things at once, but practice makes perfect. The more times you practice, Qingyang will gradually become familiar with flying with a sword. Get up and gradually master the tricks.

Nowadays, Qingyang can carry himself with his flying sword and move freely up to an altitude of more than one foot. Even if he suddenly makes a big spin, he doesn't have to worry about falling. Just because the yard is too small, the flight is not high, and the speed is not too fast, so I can only wait and practice slowly outside in the future.

In these years, Qingyang's most important thing is alchemy. There is only one Foundation Establishment Pill left, which is not enough for Qingyang to break through the Foundation Establishment stage in one go. Therefore, refining the Foundation Establishment Pill has become the most important thing at the moment. Now that the materials for ten foundation-building pills have been prepared, the only thing missing is the pill technique.

A long time ago, Qingyang tried to refine the Yangyuan Pill, which is a pill taken by foundation-building monks. If the success rate reaches a certain requirement, then Qingyang will grow from a Qi-Refining Pill Master to a Foundation-Building Pill Master. , only by becoming a Foundation Establishment Pill Master can one have the confidence to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Before going to Jingfeng Mountain, Qingyang's success rate in refining the Yuan Yang Pill was only about 10%, which was far from meeting the requirements of a Foundation Establishment Pill Master. Because the materials of the Yangyuan Pill are relatively expensive, most of Qingyang's spiritual stones are spent on purchasing the materials of the Foundation Establishment Pill. He often tries to refine one or two after a long time when he feels that his condition is almost adjusted. Well, the improvement of alchemy skills is very slow.

However, after receiving the seven thousand spirit stones traded to him by the Qin family, Qingyang's money was much looser, so he purchased a large amount of materials for refining the Yuan Yang Dan, and tried to refine it when he had some free time. Qingyang was quite talented in alchemy, and after investing in it regardless of the cost, his alchemy improved by leaps and bounds, and he soon reached the level of a foundation-building alchemist.

Cultivating an alchemist requires a lot of spiritual stones, which can only be cultivated by some powerful forces. However, it is extremely difficult for ordinary monks without background to become an alchemist. The resources available to ordinary monks are limited, and if they are used to improve their alchemy skills, their cultivation will be delayed.

Even if the alchemy master's alchemy skills have improved to a certain level and he can earn spiritual stones through alchemy skills in exchange for training resources, he still has to spend a lot of time refining alchemy. This is something that you cannot have your cake and eat it too. Qingyang did not reveal his identity as an alchemist to others casually. He only made alchemy for himself or for Chen Biwang and Lu Dingshan who were close to him, just for fear of wasting too much time.

After this period of consolidation, Qingyang's alchemy skills are not much worse than those of the veteran foundation-building alchemists of the Qingfeng Palace Alchemy Institute. At least when refining the Yuan Yang Dan, the success rate has exceeded 30%. In order to improve his alchemy skills, Qingyang basically squandered all the 7,000 spirit stones he got from the Qin family. Of course, he also gained something. In addition to the alchemy skills, he also got nearly 400 yuan-nourishing pills, worth four Qingyang didn't sell any of the Thousand Spirit Stones. This thing was extremely scarce outside, and he and the Iron-armed Monkey both needed it.

After becoming a Foundation-Building Pill Master, it does not mean that Qingyang will be able to refine the Foundation-Building Pill. After all, this is another type of pill that cannot be mastered immediately, and the refining of the Foundation-Building Pill is more difficult than that of the Qi-Nourishing Pill. There are a lot of troubles, and it is almost the most complicated among the foundation-building elixirs. What's more, the materials of the foundation-building elixir are too precious, and Qingyang does not dare to try it easily.
