Absolute control over the start, I will develop my own immortality

The foundation building period is not divided into nine levels like the Qi training period, but only has three small realms: the early stage, the middle stage, and the late stage.

Although there are fewer realms, the difficulty of climbing has become higher.

I don’t know how many monks have been struggling in the early and middle stages all their lives. Even if they are lucky enough to reach the late stages, their potential has been exhausted and there is no hope of golden elixir.

Therefore, even if you reach the foundation building period and have a life span of two hundred years, you can't slack off. Especially when you have just reached the foundation building period, all kinds of affairs are extremely busy.

The technique needs to be replaced.

Spells need to be upgraded.

The weapons also need to be better, at least they must be high-grade spiritual weapons.

The training place must also be replaced. The concentration of spiritual energy in the place where the Qi Refining monks practice is a bit weak for foundation building.

If you have mastered methods such as alchemy and talisman making, you also need to update and upgrade.

All kinds of things are annoying.

But Zhou Ming was not in a hurry.

With a life span of 200 years, he is an ordinary monk.

Zhou Ming's own lifespan had already exceeded a thousand years before he broke through the Foundation Establishment.

After the breakthrough, he discovered that mana nourishes the body and soul more than ten times more effectively than spiritual power.

This means that even if Zhou Ming no longer breaks through and his strength does not increase at all, with his current behavior, he can still live for tens of thousands of years.

The so-called longevity without borders, he has already achieved it!

So he was not in a hurry at all.

"Take your time. In the place of cultivation, although the cultivation method will affect the speed of cultivation, it will not be reflected for a while. The improvement of strength is the most important thing."

There are only two ways to improve your strength the fastest.

Get powerful weapons.

Practice powerful spells.

In terms of weapons, high-grade spiritual weapons are basically the standard equipment for foundation-building monks.

Some poorer foundation-building monks don’t even have spiritual weapons of this level in their hands.

In this regard, Zhou Ming already had three high-grade spiritual weapons, the Blue Thunder Sword, the Dragon Scale Armor, and the Flying Cloud Shuttle.

There is also the ultimate spiritual weapon Frost Thunder Sword as a trump card.

"Speaking of which, the Feiying Sword Technique can also be used for practice. This sword technique is a specialized sword-control technique. When combined with the best spiritual weapon, the power is even more terrifying!"

Zhou Ming thought.

In terms of magic, Zhou Ming also mastered a lot.

In Master Zhu Xin's memory, there are three third-level spells: Earth Dragon Technique, Flying Light Sword Shadow Technique, and Golden Rock Shield.

There is also a secret method called the Listening to the Wind spell, which is used to detect the enemy's situation and provide early warning.

In the Heart Demon Sutra, there are also spiritual spells such as the Heart Seal, the Sound Wave Heart Subduing Technique, the Heart-Breaking Finger, and the Heart Demon Escape.

The Shadow Escape obtained from Black Hand Killer is also a special secret method that will last until the later stages of foundation building.

"Looking at it this way, I'm quite rich..."

Zhou Ming smiled.

Then, among the many available spells, he chose two spells, one for escape and one for defense, and started practicing.

As for the attack, you can leave it to Feijian.

During this period, Zhou Ming discovered that the clone of his inner demon could actually be released so that he could practice magic on his own.

But as a price, Zhou Ming's mental energy consumption will be twice that of practicing alone.

This often makes him mentally exhausted after practicing for a few hours.

Even in a dream, it can only be said to alleviate the situation slightly.

But if both practice at the same time, the speed of progress is quite good.

The only pity is that the inner demon clone cannot practice ordinary spells, but can only practice the spiritual spells recorded in the inner demon sutra.

Time passes slowly while practicing like this.

In the blink of an eye, another year and a half has passed.

During this time, Longling Pavilion held another grand auction and released seven Foundation Establishment Pills.

I don’t know how many people got it and how lucky they were to achieve foundation building.

On this day, Zhou Ming played the role of Wang Lin as usual.

He came to a restaurant for dinner.

Wang Lin's character is obsessed with alchemy. He is alone and naturally cannot cook at home.

So I eat out every day.

Zhou Ming comes to this restaurant often and is already familiar with the shopkeeper and waiter.

"The Lin family has attacked the Li family again. Just yesterday, they just squeezed out one of the Li family's shops."

"I heard that things are not peaceful outside the city. The Li family's fishing ground has been robbed by Jie Xiu again."

"What a coincidence? It's the Li family again? How could the Li family be so unlucky?"

"Hey, are you confused now? How could it be such a coincidence? If you ask me, it must be the Lin family again... Forget it, let's drink and drink!"

"I heard that the people from Baiyun Sect are still looking for the traitor. It's been more than two years, and they still haven't given up?"

"The person who died was the grandson of the third elder of Baiyun Sect. Do you think he was an ordinary disciple?"

"With Baiyun Sect's frantic search, its influence is almost reaching us, isn't it?"

"Isn't it possible? Two days ago, someone saw the disciples of Baiyun Sect."

In the land of restaurants and taverns, there is a mixture of good and bad.

For Zhou Ming, who has no subordinates, it is an excellent place to get news.

Suddenly, a figure rushed into the restaurant and shouted to Zhou Ming: "Master Wang, are you still eating here? People from the Lin family are here and want to buy your shop!"

"Oh?"

Zhou Ming frowned: "Why would the Lin family focus on my shop?"

He put down a spirit stone, stood up and left.

The person who called him was his neighbor Sun Liang, who sold talismans. His business was not very good and he could barely make ends meet.

This is as it should be.

After all, the shop Zhou Ming rents is located at the end corner of a street. The terrain itself is not very good, and there is little traffic, so business is naturally not good.

I thought that this kind of place would be inconspicuous at all, but unexpectedly, it was targeted by the Lin family.

When he returned to this street, Zhou Ming suddenly saw that several shops were closed.

This shop belongs to the Li family.

The location is also good.

In this clear sky and white sun, why is the door suddenly closed?

Zhou Ming suddenly thought of the news he heard in the inn just now.

"Did the Lin family win the battle between the Lin family and the Li family?"

"But why should the Lin family... Could it be that at the big auction a few months ago, the Lin family got another foundation-building pill, and they were so lucky that they succeeded in establishing the foundation again?"

Zhou Ming's heart moved.

If my guess is correct, then including the one who succeeded in foundation building after last year's auction, the Lin family will have three foundation building monks.

Not to mention how terrifying and powerful the Lin family would be with this strength.

Just talking about the daily cultivation needs of these three foundation-building monks, the Lin family is unable to provide them.

Not to mention the requirements for spiritual weapons, techniques, spells, etc.

That all requires spirit stones!

In this way, expansion has become necessary.

Falling Dragon City is only so big. If you want to expand, you will definitely encroach on other people's interests.

"After acquiring the Li family's stores, plus the Lin family's own, now they want to acquire the store in our corner... Could it be that the Lin family wants to buy this entire street? And then create a commercial street of its own? "

Zhou Ming thought: "Even with the support of these three foundation-building monks, this step is too big all of a sudden, isn't it?"
