At the beginning, you will meet a fox demon and be taught the art of immortality

The third floor of the Qingcheng Sect's Sutra Library is quiet and silent, as if it were isolated from the world.

Su Rui was sitting in front of the Wordless Heavenly Book Monument, motionless like a sculpture. Under his buttocks was a thatched cushion obtained from the Langya Immortal Palace, emitting waves of sandalwood fragrance that made people calm. In his hand, he tightly grasped a silver-white sword ball, flashing a cold light, as if it contained endless sharpness.

On the left and right sides behind Su Rui stood two guardian statues.

On the left is a tall and mighty bronze heavy armored mechanical man, covered with heavy armor and emitting a cold metallic luster; on the right is a wooden warrior made of peach pits, lifelike and like a real person. These two guardians are like loyal guards, quietly guarding Su Rui.

Not long ago, Su Rui used the Sky Peng Dharma to successfully kill the ferocious Tiger God and suppressed its body. As the victor, Su Rui obtained an extremely precious Mountain God Seal. However, the territory corresponding to this Mountain God Seal is located in the southeast of Xitang, where there is an ancient and mysterious Nanling Mountains.

Since ancient times, the Nanling area has been known as the land of southern barbarians. The southern barbarians here have a relatively low level of civilization and are keen on primitive religious rituals such as blood sacrifices. Perhaps it is precisely because of this special cultural background that the vicious tiger god happened to be born, and eventually gave birth to such a bloody and cruel evil god who enjoys eating the hearts and livers of young boys!

Since it was an evil god, the Nanling Mountain God Seal it held naturally had no merits, but was instead filled with karma. After Su Rui obtained the seal, he sealed it with his own true energy without hesitation, and threw it into the space of the copper ring without paying attention to it. As for the body of the tiger god, Su Rui kept it in the Jiuyi Ding, allowing it to be constantly washed and strangled by the innate embryo until its soul completely dissipated and turned into a ball of pure dark golden divine power.

Since Su Rui followed the will of heaven and eliminated the evil god, it was undoubtedly a great merit, so the merit of humanity naturally came to him. However, this merit was taken away by Xiaotu and used to repair the cracks in the Dragon Chart Bagua. As the Dragon Chart Bagua was further repaired, Xiaotu's deduction ability was further improved. As a result, Xiaotu quickly deduced two sets of foundation-building plans according to Su Rui's ideas.

This is why Su Rui went to the third floor of the Sutra Library—he was ready to start building his foundation!

There are two main ideas for Su Rui's foundation building:

The first is the pure Taoist path. This method relies entirely on Taoist techniques, Taoist formations, Taoist spells, and flying sword techniques to build the foundation, and ultimately condenses a pure and flawless Taoist golden elixir in the Dantian.

The second one is more complicated, it requires the fusion of the Taoism that Su Rui has practiced, the blood power of the demon body, the magic skills and the golden body method of the Buddhist family, so as to create a mixed primordial golden pill. However, through the deduction of the small picture, it is found that although the second foundation-building idea combines the power of the four schools of magic, Taoism, demon and Buddhism, theoretically it may be able to condense the most powerful and top-grade mixed primordial golden pill, but due to the significant differences in the paths of each school, if it is not handled properly in the subsequent stage of pill formation and pregnancy, it is very likely to give birth to a monster that looks like nothing!

Therefore, after careful consideration, Su Rui finally decided to choose the first option, which is to condense a pure Taoist golden elixir. In this way, although the remaining demon body blood power, magic skills and Buddhist golden body method failed to be integrated into the golden elixir, it would not affect his continued practice and use of these methods. It's just that he needs to spend more time and effort on this!

In fact, for a long time, he has always adhered to the Taoist method of the soul as the main direction of cultivation. As for the acquisition and practice of the demon body, magic skills and Buddhist skills, it was just the result of a momentary impulse or a whim. If he had to make a single choice among many paths, then Su Rui would definitely abandon all other ways of cultivation without hesitation. In his eyes, these are just insignificant details, and the Taoist orthodoxy is the real foundation!

However, since he had decided to embark on the pure Taoist foundation-building path, why did Su Rui still not take action? The reason was that he planned to improve his swordsmanship to a higher level before officially building his foundation!

As for why he didn't use the Thunder Scale, it was because although the Thunder Scale was incredibly powerful, it was after all a legacy left by a senior immortal, and it already had intelligence, and its killing methods had already been finalized, making it difficult to control at will. Therefore, even after re-refining it, he still chose to let the Thunder Scale kill the enemy on its own.

He had originally refined a Nine-Child Mother Yin Demon Sword, which took him a lot of effort to refine. Unfortunately, when he was fighting with the White Bone God and the Five Ghost Heavenly Kings in the underground Yinjing of Black Sand Island in the South China Sea, he had to use this sword to resist the terrifying golden flames of the Five Ghost Heavenly Kings. After that, the sword disappeared, and it was unknown whether it was destroyed in the fierce battle or taken away by the Five Ghost Heavenly Kings in some mysterious way.

The two swords, Purple Swan and Blue Luan, that he used with ease had long been taken away by the Kunlun boy Minglang in a sword box. Therefore, if he wanted to practice swordsmanship, he could only rely on the sword pill he got from the Langya Immortal Mansion.

In fact, the quality of this sword pill is quite excellent, but because it has not been refined, its power cannot be fully demonstrated for the time being.

However, after Su Rui's careful sacrifice and refining, this originally silver-white sword ball underwent a miraculous change. It began to emit a cold light, and the breath was cold and sharp, like a small and exquisite cold moon hanging high in the sky.

Just now.

Su Rui raised his head to the sky outside the window of the Sutra Repository, and saw a bald eagle soaring in the sky thousands of miles high.

As soon as he had a thought, the sword in his hand shot out and turned into a long silver-white rainbow that spanned a thousand miles. Like lightning, it shaved off the most gorgeous tuft of white hair on the top of the bald eagle in the sky. Then, it fell back in the bald eagle's frightened expression, turned into a long rainbow again, and returned to Su Rui's hand.

This sword was as fast as lightning, going back and forth as it pleased, making Su Rui feel extremely comfortable.

"I have finally mastered the fifth level of the Xiantian Gengjin Sword Qi Art, Flying a Thousand Miles Away Sword!" Su Rui thought to himself, "But it's still not enough. I need to master the sixth level of Sword Qi Thunder Sound, and even the seventh level of Sword Qi Differentiation!"

Normally, all of this would have taken a great deal of time to comprehend, but with the wordless heavenly book in front of him, the thatched cushion to sit on, and the help of the small picture, it was not impossible to comprehend it in a short period of time!

Three days later, it was still the bald eagle.

Even though it had been prepared, the sword energy with a thunderous sound still shaved off the softest fur on its abdomen, making it feel that "the life of an eagle is so difficult"!

"The sixth level of Sword Qi and Thunder Sound has also been refined! Continue..." Su Rui held the sword ball in his hand, muttered silently, then closed his eyes and continued to comprehend.

However, three days later, Su Rui sighed and put away the sword pill.

The seventh level of sword energy differentiation was not cultivated. The reason was very simple: the cultivation level was not enough.

The first six levels of "Xiantian Gengjin Sword Qi Jue" were not difficult. Even the sixth level of Sword Qi Leiyin was just about pursuing the ultimate sword-controlling speed, which was not difficult for Su Rui. But when it came to the seventh level of Sword Qi differentiation, it involved very deep sword theory and sword skills, which required the huge mana support of the Dancheng realm before it could be refined!
