In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

The peak of the early stage of foundation building!

How can it be!

Han Li wouldn't believe it to death. He and Zhang Tie were already Foundation Establishment monks, and they both understood that the spiritual power required for each small level of cultivation in the Foundation Establishment stage was vastly different from that in the Qi Refining stage.

Especially during this year, because there was no assistance from Lu Yuan in alchemy, and Han Li had to practice hard for a year with his four spiritual root qualifications, his magic power hardly increased.

Now Lu Yuan told himself that he would reach his early peak in half a year. Isn't it a fantasy?

But when I thought about it, I really couldn't see Lu Yuan's depth, and looking at Lu Yuan's thick eyebrows and big eyes, it didn't seem like he was lying. As his thoughts changed rapidly, the shock on Han Li's face immediately disappeared and turned into a flattering expression.

"Junior brother is still awesome. How did you do it? Brother Zhang and I have made little progress this year. Please help us."

"That's right, although my qualifications are better, my cultivation level is not much better than that of Senior Brother Han." Zhang Tie also looked curious.

"It's very simple. From the remaining medicinal materials, I refined twenty or thirty Foundation Establishment Pills, and then drank them all!" Seeing Han Li's well-behaved appearance, Lu Yuan was very satisfied.

"You're bored? Junior brother, don't be joking!" Han Li almost spat out a mouthful of blood after hearing this.

When he first built the foundation, he took eight foundation-building pills. The remaining medicinal power almost made him explode, so he had no choice but to practice the Qingyuan Sword Art. It took four or five months to refine it completely.

Moreover, he took the eight Foundation Establishment Pills separately, but Lu Yuan said that he took them all at once, and he had already swallowed ten pills before. How did he refine such a powerful medicine in half a year?

"I am a Heavenly Spiritual Root, and my refining speed is faster than your four-attribute pseudo-spiritual root. This is also common sense, don't you understand?" Lu Yuan said with a mocking look on his face.

"That's right, it's the Tianlinggen after all!" Zhang Tie admired Lu Yuan greatly.

"That's impossible! I tried taking two more Foundation Establishment Pills, but the potency became weaker each time and it couldn't have much effect on the growth of mana!" Han Li defended.

"Took two more pills? You idiot, why are the Foundation Establishment Pills missing? It turns out you stole them!" Lu Yuan pointed at Han Li's nose and laughed and cursed.

"What's the matter of stealing? I just wanted to test the effect with Brother Zhang. Besides, if you eat all the leftovers, you won't lose!" Han Li realized that he had let the news slip.

At that time, he discovered that the Foundation Establishment Pills were so effective, so Han Li took two of them with him when he left, intending to use them to assist his future cultivation. However, after trying to take it in the cave, he found that the effect was minimal, so he gave up the idea of ​​using the Foundation Establishment Pill to practice.

"What a shame, I didn't even see the two Foundation Establishment Pills." Zhang Tie curled his lips and looked down upon Han Li.

"You can steal things so confidently, you are really not very stable!" Lu Yuan couldn't help but tease Han Li when he saw that his face was not red and his heart was not beating.

"Don't change the subject, tell me why this is happening!" Han Li knew that he could not defeat Lu Yuan, and Zhang Tie was also helping him, so he refused to let go.

"Two reasons, first. You have been a medicine jar since you started practicing. Taking the elixir too frequently may have caused your body to develop a certain resistance to the medicine, so the elixir slowly lost its effectiveness on you."

"But I am different. I am not very dependent on pills. I only take them occasionally," Lu Yuan said slowly.

"Senior Brother Lu has profound knowledge in medicine and alchemy. This conclusion should be correct!" Zhang Tie, as a loyal supporter of Lu Yuan, was naturally convinced.

Although Han Li didn't want to admit it, he felt it made sense.

"What about the second reason?"

"The second one is the skills and physique. You have four attributes of pseudo-spiritual roots, and the Qingyuan Sword Art is not a brilliant skill. You can see how rubbish it is from the fact that Li Huayuan threw it to you casually."

"Don't forget, Brother Zhang and I practiced the Five Elements Golden Technique back then. As a result, my spiritual roots were delayed for so many years." Lu Yuan got angry when he said this.

"I can't help it. I listened to you and insisted on building the foundation in the Earth Fire Chamber, but in the end, I forgot to prepare the appropriate exercises!" Han Li said angrily, throwing the blame to Lu Yuan.

"I didn't know that I had to change my exercises immediately after building the foundation. At that time, the three of us were in a critical period, and we couldn't go out and do it temporarily." Lu Yuan also shied away the responsibility.

Of course, he actually knew it all in his heart. However, Han Li must practice the Qingyuan Sword Technique, and he cannot change it casually, so he naturally pretends to be ignorant about this matter.

"If you want to complain, just blame Li Huayuan. No matter how unreliable Tian Fei is, at least the Jin Yuan Gong he gave me is pretty good!"

"It's really good. It's very easy for me to practice. Now I can use the magical power 'Jin Yuan Jia' inside." Zhang Tie added.

"You and him are the same, and I can still emit a green sword light!"

"Brother Zhang, look, this guy has to bite whoever he wants!"

"Oh, stop arguing. Brother Han, didn't you get the follow-up technique of Qingyuan Sword Technique later? It also said that it can increase the probability of forming pills and practice it to the stage of becoming a god." Zhang Tie saw Han Li and Lu Yuan A bit tit-for-tat, he quickly became a peacemaker.

"Oh, don't mention it. It's so difficult to practice in the foundation building period now, so why do you use it to form pills?" Han Li said with a frown.

He already had a hint of regret for his decision to major in Qingyuan Sword Technique.

Even with the assistance of the triple Yuan Transformation Skill, the probability of forming a pill can be greatly increased. But if you practice hard on your own, even if you reach the middle stage of foundation building, you can't even think about it for more than a few decades. This has not taken into account the bottleneck of the mid-stage impact.

One level is as difficult as climbing to the sky, let alone three levels!

"Isn't it just that the effectiveness of the pills has declined? If there is no Foundation Establishment Pill, there will naturally be Duck Establishment Pills and Goose Establishment Pills. We can just go back and look for other pills." Lu Yuan didn't care.

"You!" After hearing Lu Yuan's nonsense, Han Li had no choice but to sulk on the sidelines.

"By the way, Senior Brother Lu, have you also practiced Jin Yuan Gong?" Zhang Tie asked with a hopeful face. If this is the case, then it won't be long before he can reach the peak of the early stage of foundation building.

"No, I practice another kind of technique, which can only be practiced with Tianlinggen." Lu Yuan's answer poured cold water on Zhang Tie unintentionally.

"Do you have other techniques?" Han Li frowned even more, and there was something wrong with Lu Yuan's eyes.

"Yes, this technique was accidentally acquired during my trip to the forbidden area. It's called the 'Five Elements Transforming into Gold Heavenly Technique'!"

"'Five Elements Transforming into Gold'! It sounds very powerful!" Zhang Tie's eyes lit up.

"Of course, it's all because of this skill that I can reach the peak of the early stage of foundation building in one fell swoop!" Lu Yuan glanced at Han Li and said proudly.

We can't hide the matter of the exercises, so it's better to tell them now.

About a year ago, Lu Yuan finally succeeded in refining the Foundation Establishment Pill after several failures.

Next, the three of them began to try to build the foundation. Because their foundation was too poor due to the Five Elements Golden Jue, Lu Yuan also took three foundation-building pills before consolidating his magic power during the Qi refining period.

But when he was taking the fourth one to build his foundation, he thought of the Golden Spirit Vine in his body. The golden gourd on it helped him escape two killings. The second time, he blocked the killing move of the old monster Qiong who was in the late stage of the Linking Pill.

Therefore, he decided to make the gourd grow as big as possible before building the foundation. Maybe there would be unexpected effects in the future.

Therefore, he planned to refine all the medicinal power of the next seven Foundation-Building Pills into spiritual power and let the Golden Spirit Vine absorb it, which was equivalent to adding nearly a hundred years of medicinal age to it.

After taking seven foundation-building pills in a row, Lu Yuan endured the bone-piercing pain and forced the potion to reach his dantian. Moreover, relying on the strength of the Golden Spirit Vine, it suppressed this huge medicinal power and avoided death from explosion.

This is why Lu Yuan took ten foundation-building pills but failed to succeed in foundation-building.

However, the efficiency of the Five Elements Golden Jue was too low. Until half a year ago, Lu Yuan had not refined even half of the remaining foundation-building pill power.

This is too slow!

Can't delay it any longer!

Therefore, Lu Yuan decided that he must build the foundation as soon as possible, so after refining the remaining medicinal materials into the foundation building pill, Lu Yuan no longer suppressed the power of the pill in his body and forced himself to break through.

To Lu Yuan's expectation, the foundation building went extremely smoothly, and everything seemed to fall into place.

After successfully building the foundation, Lu Yuan immediately switched to the Ten Thousand Dao Metal Transformation Technique.

Although he is not in the ancestral gold body yet, he has the golden spirit vine rooted in his body, which can be used as the foundation for cultivation.

You don’t know if you don’t practice it, but you will be shocked once you practice it. It is indeed the work of the Taoist ancestors. This technique is simple and crude, and the refining speed is abnormal. The remaining medicinal power of the ten Foundation Establishment Pills was completely refined in less than a month.

Compared with Han Li's practice of Qingyuan Sword Art, it took four to five months to refine the eight foundation-building pills. Although Zhang Tie's Jin Yuan Gong was not slow, it took nearly two months to refine the five Foundation Establishment Pills.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan took all the remaining Foundation Establishment Pills without hesitation.

The nearly thirty Foundation Establishment Pills only took him less than three months.

However, at this moment, something happened to the Golden Spirit Vine.

Because when refining the medicinal properties, Lu Yuan did not distribute them deliberately, resulting in only a small part of the refined spiritual power being absorbed by the Golden Spirit Vine.

Even so, the golden gourd obviously grew in size, and then the golden flower core on the head of the gourd began to wither, and finally withered and disappeared without a trace.

In addition to the golden gourd, the leaves at the base of the vine are beginning to fall off. However, unlike the flower core, the fallen leaves did not disappear, but actually stayed in Lu Yuan's dantian.

Lu Yuan speculated that according to what Han Li said in his reincarnation, the Golden Spirit Fruit blooms for thousands of years, bears fruit for thousands of years, and matures for thousands of years.

Now should be the last thousand-year stage. As long as you continue to make offerings, the gourd will naturally mature and fall off. It is normal for the spiritual leaves to fall off now.

Lu Yuan then did a little research and was surprised to find that the leaves of the Golden Spirit Vine were not withered, but fell off because as the golden gourd grew larger, too much spiritual power was needed, resulting in insufficient supply of the main vine.

This gold leaf is much stronger than ordinary top-level magic weapons, both in terms of sharpness and hardness.

Lu Yuan had tried it before, using the red flying knife that he had collected from Han Tianya during the blood ban trial to strike each other. As a result, Jin Ye easily cut off the flying knife, which really shocked Lu Yuan.

However, the surprises Jinye brought him were far more than that. The Golden Spirit Vine had taken root in his body for many years, absorbing his own essence and blood. It could be said that it had long been integrated with him.

Therefore, the gold leaf does not need to be sacrificed at all, and can be controlled by the mind alone, like an arm and a finger.

What's more important is that although the golden leaves have fallen off, they are still connected to the main vine, similar to the broken silk connection of the lotus root.

In other words, as long as you provide enough spiritual power in the future, you can still make the golden leaves grow back and continue to grow.

After playing around for a while, Lu Yuan turned his attention to the Ten Thousand Dao Transformation Gold Technique.

In the original reincarnation, Han Li once said that this technique can convert the attributes of wood, water, fire, earth and other elements belonging to the five elements into gold. Lu Yuan naturally wanted to try such a heaven-defying method.

The result was true as Samsara Han Li said. After Lu Yuan used his heavenly skills, he actually transformed several magic weapons with different attributes into metal.

However, it is a pity that the power of the transformed magic weapon was greatly reduced, and it only lasted for less than half an hour before being scrapped into a pile of debris.

It was so useless, Lu Yuan was extremely disappointed.

But after some thinking, he simply applied this magical power to his practice. The magic weapon was originally made from various materials containing spiritual energy. After turning it into metal, Lu Yuan directly drained the metallic spiritual power in the magic weapon and used it for his own cultivation.

In the end, the magic weapon was destroyed, and Lu Yuan turned his attention to the endless fire.

Earthly fire is rich in fire-attributed spiritual power. Why not convert earthly fire into metallic spiritual power?

Although the success rate of transformation is only about 30 to 40%, it is much faster than refining spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

In the last month or so, Lu Yuan began to practice this method.

Of course, in order to avoid being burned to ashes by the earth fire, Lu Yuan initially only dared to extract the earth fire from a dragon head. After you gradually become proficient, you can start to increase the number of dragon heads that draw earth fire.

two.

four.

Six.

eight.

At the end, the earth fire spewed out from the eight dragon heads was adjusted to the maximum, and the earth fire raged throughout the stone chamber for a while. Lu Principle used the Heavenly Power to transform his body into gold to protect himself from being burned by the earthly fire.

But other items in the stone room were damaged and turned into ashes by the endless fire. Even the dock stones that were said to be able to isolate the fire were scorched black.

In this environment, Lu Yuan's Tianlinggen cultivation efficiency was maximized. In just over a month, his cultivation level has soared, reaching the peak of the early stage of foundation building.

Just when Lu Yuan wanted to use this to break through the bottleneck in the mid-term, the arrival of Han Li and his two men unexpectedly interrupted his progress.

Otherwise, if you give him another month or two, he will definitely break through the bottleneck and enter the middle stage of foundation building.

After listening to Lu Yuan's story, Zhang Tie could hardly close his mouth.

Practicing earth fire as spiritual energy?

Is this also possible?

"Luckily we called you out, otherwise you would have stabbed you in a big trap again!"

"This earth fire is the lifeblood of Huang Maple Valley. If it continues to be smoked, something big will happen."

"Don't waste time talking here, let's go first!" Han Li calmed down a lot. When he heard that Lu Yuan was responsible for the abnormal movement of the ground fire, he, who was always cautious, couldn't sit still, so he picked up Lu Yuan and the two of them and walked out.
