In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

"Then, can't I practice for a few more years until my magic power increases?"

"It has nothing to do with the number of years of practice. This is caused by poor basic skills." Old Man Ma shook his head.

"Then why did you ask me to quickly take the Foundation Establishment Pill to try to establish the Foundation?"

"Because if you fail to build the foundation this time, you will just catch up with the trip to the forbidden area every five years. At that time, someone will collect and refine the main medicine for the foundation building pill. When another batch of foundation building pills are refined inside the door, Maybe we will give you another chance because of your spiritual roots. If you miss it, after the foundation-building pills are distributed, if you really fail to build the foundation, where can I get you a foundation-building pill?"

Listening to Old Man Ma's words, Lu Yuan was so deep in thought that he didn't notice when Old Man Ma left.

He didn't think this was alarmist. Senior Brother Ma was a monk in the late stage of foundation building, so there was no need to lie to himself. Moreover, he was able to remind him mostly because of the uninterrupted supply of medicinal materials in the past two years.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Yuan got some more wine and went to Tian Fei to listen to his opinion.

Tian Fei agreed with Lu Yuan's view that foundation building might be difficult. When Lu Yuan tried to ask if he could get a few more foundation-building pills, Tian Fei shot them out.

Find your own way!

"I heard that there is a Yuelu Palace in the valley. There are many ancient books in it. There may be a solution." Han Li suggested.

"I've also heard from other stewards that it's all junk and useless." Lu Yuan waved his hand and refused.

"That's not necessarily true. The blinking sword technique I learned back then is not popular among the Qixuan Sect."

Seeing Han Li's unwillingness to give up, Lu Yuan didn't want to fight with him, so the three of them went straight to Yuelu Palace.

Halfway up Wujun Mountain, there is a wide platform of tens of feet paved with rocks.

At the end of the platform, there is a huge cave that is completely covered by the formation - "Yuelu Hall".

"Yuelu Hall" is a special collection place that collects the refining of Huang Maple Valley's magic weapons, elixir formulas, methods of making talismans, various ancient books, and related esoteric techniques. It also provides various commonly used raw materials. It is the most important place in the entire mountain gate. one.

There are many restrictions here, and there are often more than a hundred disciples patrolling nearby to prevent foreign enemies from invading. It is even said that the master's uncle who was in the alchemy stage stayed in seclusion in the temple all year round.

When the three of them landed, they felt several vigilant eyes looking at them several times in the dark.

After putting away the leaf-shaped magic weapon, before they could step forward, there was a sudden space fluctuation in front of the three of them, and a red light wall suddenly appeared. Then two disciples in red also appeared in the light. behind the wall. One of them is similar in age to Lu Yuan and others, while the other is younger, only about fourteen or fifteen years old.

"Who are you?" Behind the light wall, the younger disciple in red asked coldly.

"The three people below are..."

"Who do we care who you are? You are just juniors in the Qi Refining Stage! If you are not at the level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, you must have a guarantor. Bring the guarantor's token!" The disciple in red interrupted Lu Yuan's explanation and asked Lu The original three people were extremely impatient.

After Lu Yuan heard this person's rude words, although he was not angry, he did not dare to show it and directly took out Tian Fei's token from his arms.

"It's Master Tian's token!" The man in red said in surprise.

"Uncle Tian!" Hearing the other party's name, Han Li and Zhang Tie looked at each other, feeling horrified in their hearts. This man in red is not very old, but he is actually a master in the foundation building stage!

"I've met two senior brothers." Lu Yuan secretly gritted his teeth and still cupped his fists.

"I have long heard that the two-year valley accepted a junior with heavenly spiritual roots and became a disciple of Uncle Tian. It turns out it is you."

"Speaking of which, Junior Brother Lu, you are really a disgrace to the Heavenly Spiritual Roots. It has been two years since you entered the valley and you haven't even established a foundation yet!" The young red-clothed disciple had obviously heard of Lu Yuan, but when he saw that Lu Yuan only had an eleventh level of cultivation , with an arrogant tone and a condescending attitude.

As soon as these words came out, not to mention the person involved, Lu Yuan, even Han Li and Zhang Tie felt a little angry in their hearts. But since the other party was a foundation-building monk, the three of them naturally tolerated it.

You must know that in the Xiuxian Sect, seniority is not determined by how early or late you enter the school, but by the depth of your realm. After all, the path to immortality is still guided by the capable!

"Okay, Junior Brother Li, let them come in." After checking the token, another older man in red said calmly to his younger companion without wanting to cause any unpleasantness.

Junior Brother Li had some dissatisfaction on his face, but he still cooperated and fired a spell onto the light wall, creating a passage about ten feet wide, which could accommodate one person in and out.

The three of them could not hesitate. They immediately flashed and entered. After paying the price of one spirit stone per person, he quickly disappeared into a circular magic circle.

"You really think of yourself as a person. You haven't even reached the foundation building stage yet, but you still have the nerve to come here!" Junior Brother Li said with disdain.

The other person chuckled and shook his head slightly.

Junior Brother Li also entered the valley two years ago, a little later than Lu Yuan, but his qualifications are also extraordinary. He had reached the peak of the ninth level without relying on any pills, and he was one of the most highly regarded geniuses in the sect.

In order for him to practice hard, Lu Yuan, who has Tianlinggen, is often used as an incentive in the sect. Therefore, he knew about Lu Yuan's existence, which also aroused his dissatisfaction.

Now that we meet, after some training in the valley, Junior Brother Li has successfully established a foundation in just two years. However, Lu Yuan was still lingering in the Qi-building stage, and he seemed to have disappeared from everyone.

After all, Junior Brother Li is young and frivolous, so it is reasonable to take the opportunity to ridicule him.

No wonder Gu Nei would arrange for him to be on duty here. Presumably he was worried about his unstable state of mind and wanted to temper himself.

In a large cylindrical room, the teleportation array in the corner flashed, and Lu Yuan and the others walked out.

"A little kid with no hair, but a temper bigger than my athlete's foot!" Zhang Tie looked at Lu Yuan with a gloomy face and couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.

"Junior brother, don't be as knowledgeable as this kind of person. If you hadn't given the elixir evenly to both of us, with your qualifications, your cultivation would have been above him."

"It seems that Brother Zhang and I were the ones holding you back." Han Li patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder with a guilty look on his face.

"Senior brother, why don't you leave us alone. From now on, the elixirs will be given to you. You can quickly build the foundation and save yourself from these people!" Zhang Tie clenched his fists, his honest face full of sincerity.

Han Li also nodded while blaming himself. If he had not insisted on coming to Yuelu Hall, Lu Yuan would not have suffered this humiliation.

"I accept your wishes. Foundation building is a big deal. I think we should proceed step by step and not be too eager for quick success."

"As for what is holding us back, we have walked all the way from Caixia Mountain, why do we need to say these hurtful words." The words of Han Li and the two made Lu Yuan feel warm in his heart, and secretly sighed that his efforts to these two brothers were not in vain.

"But--"

Seeing what Zhang Tie wanted to say, Lu Yuan raised his hand to stop him.

"I believe that as long as the three of us brothers work together, we will definitely have a place at the top of the world of immortal cultivation in the future!" Lu Yuan said and raised his palms to the two of them.

"Ok!"

Han Li and Zhang Tie also raised their palms and looked at Lu Yuan firmly.
