The Path to Immortality

As his mana increased, Fang Ping's aura also skyrocketed.

Not only that, the biggest change from the middle to the late stage of Qi training is the growth of spiritual consciousness.

Spiritual consciousness is a special ability that a monk can only have after he introduces Qi into his body and reaches the first level of Qi training. It is an external manifestation of the power of the soul.

Before the seventh level of Qi training, the monk's spiritual consciousness is very weak and can only be used to detect the contents recorded in the jade slips of Taoism.

However, after the seventh level of Qi training, spiritual consciousness will experience a significant improvement. From then on, one can observe the meridians and mana flow in the body, which is of great benefit to practice.

At this stage, spiritual consciousness can also be used to copy Taoist jade slips and modify items such as identity tokens.

This is also the reason why monks who are at least in the late stage of Qi training can hold the position of outer deacon or elder of a monk family.

However, in the world of immortal cultivation, the spiritual objects and techniques that can improve the soul are too scarce. Most monks can only rely on passive growth through the improvement of their realm.

The improvement from the middle to the late stage of Qi training is the most obvious and important one during the entire Qi training period.

At this moment, when Fang Ping concentrated on sensing, his spiritual consciousness seemed to be an extension of his sight, and he could easily penetrate every flesh, blood, organ, and meridians in his body.

Under this kind of exploration, the route of the exercise is clearly visible, and any slight deviation in the practice process can be discovered immediately and corrected in time.

Some hidden injuries to the body's meridians during past training and fighting are also clearly visible in the inner vision.

"Is this how powerful you are in the later stages of Qi training?"

After a brief period of joy, Fang Ping returned to a calm state of mind and put all his energy into the final stage of promotion.

Finally, as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth subsided, Fang Ping's strength gradually stabilized and settled at the level of the seventh level of Qi training for the first time.

The improvement from the middle stage of Qi training to the late stage of Qi training is not comparable to the improvement of ordinary small realms.

Fang Ping sensed his current mana and found that it was nearly twice as much as before his promotion. The Dantian, which was originally slightly empty, was filled with a large amount of gaseous pure mana.

He even has a feeling that his current self can at least beat two or three of his pre-promotion self!

"Finally another step towards foundation building!"

Slowly opening his eyes, Fang Ping was in a very good mood.

Compared with the early and middle stages of Qi training, the late stage of Qi training can be regarded as the beginning of getting rid of the bottom of the world of immortality.

In many monk families and small sects, there are existences that can serve as elders and are the backbone of the sect.

Putting it in some casual repair shops, he can be regarded as a master with a name.

If we include formations, Taixu Sword Talismans, Yin Lei Beads and other means, there may not be many monks below the foundation level who can easily defeat Fang Ping.

At the worst, he would have a chance to escape unscathed.

"By the way, Yuanding!"

Thinking of something, Fang Ping released Yuan Ding from his dantian.

Just like when he was promoted to the middle stage of Qi training before, some new changes also took place in Yuanding during this key breakthrough.

The most important thing is that the power it displays has been further revived.

Now, it has reached the level of a high-grade magical weapon.

It can provide him with greater help when refining elixirs and magic weapons!

"A single example does not prove it!"

"Since this has happened twice in a row, I can now confirm that Yuan Ding's power will indeed gradually recover as my realm improves!"

After confirming this change, Fang Ping felt relieved and continued to stabilize his current state.

………

It took a week for Fang Ping to initially stabilize his cultivation.

Although there is still a long way to go from the seventh level of Qi training to the completion of Qi training, and it may even require more time and energy than the first level to the seventh level of Qi training combined, but after all, there is only one left left to build the foundation. A critical realm.

Unless they are monks who think that foundation building is hopeless, most monks in the late stage of Qi training will start to consider preparing for future foundation building from now on.

Fang Ping is naturally no exception.

In the Sutra Collection Pavilion of the Luoyang Sect, there are classics specifically discussing foundation building matters.

Fang Ping had also borrowed it when he occasionally had free time.

As mentioned above, there are three major difficulties for Qi-training monks who want to build a foundation, namely the spiritual consciousness level, the physical body level, and the magic level level.

The former requires spiritual consciousness to be condensed and transformed into divine consciousness.

For the physical barrier, it is necessary that the physical energy and blood should not decay too much and be able to withstand the erosion of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth when building the foundation. This is why it is said that it is best to build the foundation before the age of sixty.

Finally, the mana needs to be powerful enough to be able to condense from gaseous mana into liquid mana for foundation building.

All three are indispensable.

If you only rely on the monk's own foundation, it will be difficult to successfully build the foundation.

This requires some external assistance.

For example, various foundation-building spiritual objects!

However, if the breakthrough fails only by relying on foundation-building spiritual objects, oneself will inevitably be seriously injured or even die on the spot.

In comparison, Foundation Establishment Pill is a more perfect choice.

For most monks who are trying to build a foundation, their first goal must be the foundation building pill.

Only when you really can't get it, will you settle for the next best thing and consider getting one or two foundation-building spiritual objects before you turn sixty.

"The Foundation Establishment Pill!"

Fang Ping muttered silently in his heart, got up and rushed to the Scripture Collection Pavilion.

As early as when he first entered the inner gate, he saw the prescription of the Foundation Establishment Pill in the Sutra Pavilion.

It was just that the sect's contribution was not enough at that time, and the realm was still far behind, so there was no rush to redeem it.

Now is the time to get the foundation-building elixir.

………

Half an hour later.

Fang Ping paid 500 sect contributions and obtained the foundation-building pill recipe. He also copied a few jade slips that taught the foundation-building experience, and then returned to the cave in Yunyang Peak.

Then, he couldn't wait to browse the recipe of the foundation-building pill.

"Main ingredients: Dragon Ginseng, Soul Condensing Dew, Purple Jade Marrow."

"Supplementary ingredients: Xuanyuan Fruit, Tianling Flower, Wuliu Root, Blood Essence Grass, Sanyang Spirit Water..."

Among the three main ingredients, Dragon Ginseng corresponds to the physical barrier during foundation building, and it needs to be at least two hundred years old before it can be used.

But it doesn't mean that the older the Dragon Ginseng, the better.

If the medicinal power of a certain medicinal material is too abundant, it may cause an imbalance in the medicinal properties, which will affect the effect of the pill.

This kind of spiritual medicine has extremely strict requirements on the concentration of spiritual energy and the growth environment.

The five major immortal sects in Liang State all have special medicine gardens to produce this kind of spiritual medicine, ensuring that the sect can continuously produce foundation-building pills.

However, the growth of Dragon Ginseng requires a lot of soil power and spiritual energy. Even the five major immortal sects have extremely limited production, which is not enough to meet the needs of the entire sect.

Soul Condensing Dew corresponds to the Divine Consciousness Level in the three levels of foundation building.

This spiritual liquid is produced in very unstable places and is the most difficult to obtain among the three main materials of the foundation building pill.

At least the information Fang Ping found and the recipe of this foundation building pill did not mention how to get Soul Condensing Dew.

On the contrary, the purple jadeite corresponding to the last level of mana level is relatively common.

It occasionally appears in auctions in some large immortal cities and markets in Liang State.

As for the auxiliary materials, Xuanyuan Fruit and Tianling Flower, although not as difficult to collect as the three main materials, are also very valuable.

In addition, Xuanyuan Fruit is also a material used in the first-level ancient pill recipe [Yangmai Pill] that Fang Ping once bought.

In addition to these two important auxiliary materials, other materials are relatively more common.

As long as you spend more time and spirit stones, there is always a chance to slowly collect them.
