The immortals of the two worlds started from farming and refining pills

The wind was strong and the sky was high, and the autumn was bleak.

A vortex of spiritual energy shook a few times in the sky above Tanyuan Immortal City, and suddenly collapsed.

The cultivators in the Immortal City who looked up could not help but sigh in unison: "Alas..."

In the main hall of the Immortal City, a Taoist wearing a Tai Chi crown shook his head: "Another Taoist failed to build a foundation. The path of cultivation is full of twists and turns!"

Another Taoist wearing a lotus crown also looked regretful: "It's a pity that Taoist Li has overcome many difficulties for decades to achieve today's achievements, but in the end it is still empty."

He then ordered the maid next to him: "Still follow the usual practice and open the cave house in half a month. If Taoist Li has passed away, return his remains and relics to his clansmen."

"Yes!" The maid bowed and responded.

In a cave house specially rented by foreign cultivators in Tanyuan Immortal City.

"Puff——" Li Qing suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his originally rosy face turned pale.

He hurriedly took out a bottle of pills from his storage bag, poured out three pills and swallowed them into his stomach. After adjusting his luck, he finally recovered his breath.

"It is more difficult to cultivate than to ascend to heaven!" Li Qing took a deep breath, "It is too difficult to build a foundation with a medium-grade spiritual root."

He looked at a porcelain bottle on the ground with a complicated expression: "Fortunately, I sold everything I had before and secretly bought this foundation-building pill. Otherwise, I would have died."

Li Qing is a time traveler. He traveled to this world more than 50 years ago and was born in a small cultivation family, the Qinghe Valley Li family. At the age of five, he was diagnosed with a medium-grade spiritual root and embarked on the path of cultivation.

In this world, everyone has spiritual roots. The evaluation of aptitude is not based on the number of attributes, but on the quality of the spiritual root.

Li Qing has a medium-grade wood spiritual root, supplemented by a low-grade fire spiritual root, and other spiritual roots are negligible. Born in a small family like the Li family, it is considered good to be able to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining when the life span is about to end.

Fortunately, Li Qing was determined, had good comprehension, and had a deep understanding of the cultivation method, which made up for some of the differences in the speed of cultivation.

In addition, he had a good talent for both spiritual plants and alchemy. With the support of his family, in just over 20 years, both skills reached the first-class upper grade, and he gained a lot of cultivation resources.

Due to the superposition of various factors, Li Qing was able to reach the peak of Qi Refining before the end of his life span, and had the capital to build a foundation.

Unfortunately, even if he secretly planned and spent all his wealth to buy a low-quality foundation-building pill, he was ultimately dragged down by his spiritual root qualifications and failed to successfully build a foundation.

Fortunately, under the protection of the foundation-building pill, he still saved his life and the cultivation of the ninth level of Qi Refining. Unlike those cultivators who built their own foundations, they would die if they failed.

"How can the vast heaven be so unkind to me!" Li Qing felt the chaotic dantian of mana and the broken meridians, sighed, and started to practice the "Qingmu Jue" he was practicing.

Building a foundation requires a second-level spiritual vein, which Qinghe Valley does not have at all, so Li Qing can only rent it in Tanyuan Immortal City.

There is still half a month left before the lease expires, and he does not want to waste the spiritual stones he paid, so he decides to retreat and adjust his breath.

"Hey, what is this?" Li Qing suddenly became suspicious.

At this moment, in his dantian, a vague miniature of a portal appeared at some point, flashing a clear light.

Li Qing tentatively touched it with his spiritual sense. The next moment, Li Qing's figure disappeared from the retreat cave.

The sudden feeling of weightlessness gave Li Qing a start. He quickly pinched a finger gesture and used the feather fall technique.

A breeze lifted him up and slowly floated down.

He suppressed his emotions, looked around, and found that the sea and sky were vast and he was falling towards a small island.

What shocked him most was that the spiritual energy around him was gloomy and difficult to mobilize, and he could only rely on his own cultivation to cast spells.

He quickly changed his spell to wind control, accelerated his landing, and soon landed on the island.

When he was in the air before, he had observed the situation of the island.

The island was of moderate size, about the size of a county town in his previous life. There were two villages in the southeast, and hills and jungles in the northwest.

Although the place where he landed was in the jungle, it was not far from the smaller village. It was near dusk, and there were already curls of smoke rising over there.

Li Qing stood still with the help of a tree, silently sensing his Dantian, and found that the door-shaped shadow was still glowing.

In the dark, he learned that this was a little debris scattered in the heavens and the world after the innate spiritual treasure "Gate of Heavenly Dimension" was broken, and it had been sleeping in his Dantian before.

It was not until he built his foundation today and attracted a huge amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth that he activated it and anchored it to the world he was in now.

What made Li Qing a little worried was that this door would not be activated again until half a month later.

"I hope that Tanyuan Immortal City will abide by the rules. Don't look at my failure in building the foundation, and open my cave halfway."

Li Qing took a long breath and cast his eyes towards the small village in the distance: "I wonder if this world can add some help to my practice."

Considering that this world does have spiritual energy, Li Qing did not approach rashly without knowing the details for the time being: "Let's recover from the injury first."

In order to buy foundation-building pills and rent spiritual vein caves, he almost spent all his wealth. Now, except for the pill furnace and the pills for nourishing the essence and healing the wounds, he didn't even have a set of talismans to cover his body.

As a last resort, he walked a distance into the depths of the jungle, found a big tree hole to hide in, and brushed away the snakes, insects, rats and ants with his hand, and then silently circulated the magic power in his body to repair the damaged dantian and meridians.

What surprised him was that under the door-shaped phantom, there was actually a pool of green spiritual liquid, which seemed to be breathing, contracting and expanding.

"Is this... true essence?" Li Qing hesitated to sense it, and finally confirmed, "This is really great!"

You know, the three most important manifestations of advancing from the Qi Refining Stage to the Foundation Building Stage are, first, the foundation of Taoism is built in the Dantian, second, the liquid of mana is transformed into true essence, and third, the life span is increased to 300 years.

Li Qing failed to build his foundation, so he naturally had no foundation, and because of the damage to his foundation, he lost 20 to 30 years of his life.

"I haven't heard of anyone who failed to build his foundation and still had true essence?" Li Qing thought hard, "Could it be the credit of this door-shaped phantom?"

He tried to touch the true essence with his spiritual sense, and found that he could mobilize it at will, as if he was using his arm: "In this way, safety is more guaranteed."

True essence is the basis for casting foundation building spells. When Li Qing reached the peak of Qi Refining and could not make any progress, he also studied several foundation building spells.

Although the foundation building failed, he could still perform it with the support of the true essence: "It's just that the amount of this true essence is limited, and it can only be used ten times. Without the support of the Tao foundation, the power is similar to that of the second-level talisman, but it can't compare to the performance of a proper foundation-building cultivator in person..."

Li Qing shook his head and silently operated the "Qingmu Jue". Soon, the chaotic mana in the dantian was sorted out and flowed along the spiritual veins to the limbs and bones.

It's just that the spiritual energy in this world is too weak. Even in the forest, Li Qing still had difficulty in drawing the air into his body, and the progress of healing was very limited.

In desperation, he had to take out three more healing pills and swallowed them with his head raised: "Tsk, it feels a bit miserable?"
