Chapter 7 Building a Foundation

Practice has always been boring. Although Su Jianming is very talented, no matter how talented you are, it is impossible to break through without the accumulation of time. It has been nearly a year since the last breakthrough of the ninth layer of gas refining. In the past year, Su Jianming believes that he has made no less efforts than before, but the true element in his body has always been unable to be complete.

Su Jianming knew that after the nine layers of gas refining, the foundation was built, and after the foundation was built, he could fly with the sword. However, it has been a whole year, but the day of building the foundation is still far away, and Su Jianming can't help but be a little anxious.

Su Jianming is now ten years old, and many things can be learned from elsewhere without his master.

As early as when he was promoted to the seventh layer of qi refining, a senior who had just built the foundation told him that for the monks of the ninth layer of qi refining, whether they can build a foundation is actually just a matter of whether you have a foundation elixir and how many foundation elixirs there are, which has little to do with talent. That is to say, if you have enough foundation elixirs, as long as you can cultivate to the ninth level, then you must be able to build the foundation.

The nine layers of gas refining to build the foundation is a hurdle. The true element needed to cross this cutting is extremely huge. If it is still slowly refined to build the foundation as before, it may take more time than the previous whole layer to nine layers.

But if there is a foundation elixir, it will be much easier. The foundation elixir contains huge energy. Ordinary people will basically explode and die directly if they eat it. But if it is a monk with nine layers of gas refining, as long as they are well guided, the huge energy can instantly turn into the true element in the body of the practitioners, making it break through the gas refining period in one fell swoop. , directly to build the foundation.

The efficacy of the basing elixir is powerful, but its rarity is also crazy.

Some large sects are better. They generally have their own special Dantang. As long as you are well qualified and have done enough sect tasks, you can go to the Danfang in exchange for a corresponding number of foundation elixirs. But Dantang is not qualified by ordinary sects. After all, not every sect has the financial and material resources to train alchemists. Therefore, some small sects often fight for a foundation elixir.

Mingjian Villa naturally has a Dantang. If Su Jianming wants to get Jiandan, he has two ways.

The first is naturally to do the teacher's task like most people, and the second is to ask the master directly from the master. Generally speaking, those outside disciples can only choose the first way without the care of their masters and elders. And after those famous families, even if they don't say it themselves, their teachers will give a lot.

For Su Jianming, both roads can actually be chosen, but he finally chose to do the task by himself. Although Liu Xingyun is very good to him, he has always been stubborn. Master didn't say he wanted to give it to him, and he would not take the initiative to ask for it.

......

Since he had decided, he would no longer hesitate. After a little preparation, Su Jianming went to pick up the task.

The elder in Mingjian Villa is in charge of the release of the task. He is fat and fat. He is about 60 years old, but he has to build a foundation in the later stage. It is estimated that he knows that he has no hope of breakthrough and entrusted someone to get such a position.

There are many people like Mingjian Villa who come to pick up the task every day. Su Jianming took a general look. The people who came to hand over the task were very messy and of different ages. The oldest one was 50 or 60 years old, and the smaller one was estimated to be 17 or 18 years old. The cultivation is also different, from the refining period to the golden elixir period. The whole scene was noisy, like a vegetable market. Su Jianming didn't figure out who to take the task for a long time.

When Su Jianming was confused, a palm patted his shoulder heavily from behind him. Although Su Jianming had not experienced any real battle, he still instinctively shook the huge palm with a reflex. The owner of the palm was a very fat young man. Maybe Su Jianming's reaction was too unexpected. He only heard him whisper and bullied him again.

Su Jianming did not dare to neglect and quickly used a control introduction to push himself away to be careful. The fat man is also a nine-level monk, about 17 or 18 years old, but on the surface he looks quite friendly.

I saw him jump, and there was already a lot of earth thorns between the crisscross. Seeing this, Su Jianming was greeted by a thorn in his chest. With a bang, the two earth thorns turned into yellow sand all over the ground, and both of them also shook back a few steps.

Su Jianming pinched his hands and was about to fight back, but he heard a woman in red in the distance shout, "Sh on, fat man, you're fighting again?" While talking, the woman jumped between Su Jianming and the fat man, put one hand in her waist and grabbed the fat man's ear with the other hand and shouted.

"Don't you want to build a foundation? I asked you to find someone and you came to fight again." The woman is also a nine-level monk. She looks fourteen or fifteen years old, but her tall figure looks very "small" in front of the fat man. She pulled the fat man's ear and had to let the fat man lower his head down.

The fat man was fighting with Su Jianming with a serious face. As soon as he heard the voice of the woman in red, he immediately died. He let her pinch her ears and said with a flattering face, "Why did Sister Linger come here? I can handle this kind of thing by myself."

"Well, you still said that you haven't found someone here to fight with. If Grandpa hadn't asked me to come and see me, I wouldn't have been too lazy to come over," the woman who was called Ling'er replied angrily.

"I'm looking for it. Didn't you find it?" The fat man pointed to Su Jianming and explained. Do you think I'm really fighting? I'm testing the boy's cultivation. Our task can only be taken by the ninth level of gas refining. It took me a long time to find this boy. But as you can see, he is so small that I have to try it.

When the woman heard the fat man's words, she let him go. She looked at Su Jianming again, nodded and said, "Yes, you still know how to try it. It seems that you have to change your name. I can't call you sloppy in the future." With that, she approached Su Jianming and met a monk and said, "Hello, welcome to join our team. My name is Song Linger."

Su Jianming has been on guard. At this time, when he saw the woman coming to salute, he also relaxed his vigilance, but he felt puzzled by what the woman said and did not respond to her for a moment.

When Song Linger saw that he ignored her, she turned her head to look at the fat man.

But I heard the fat man hesitate and said, "That... that... I just tried his cultivation, and the task... I haven't told him yet..."

As soon as Song Linger heard it, she immediately understood that Ma Hu's trial practice was just a temporary excuse. Suddenly, her face showed a "fierce light" and the warning in her eyes was sloppy, which made Ma Hu tremble with fear.

After receiving the satisfactory effect, she no longer pursued the careless matter, but explained to Su Jianming with a smile.

"I think this brother is already a nine-level cultivation of gas refining, and he should have come here to take over the task of building a foundation elixir, right? It happens that we have taken on a task of building a foundation elixir, which can be completed by four people, and after completion, each person has two pieces of foundation elixir to receive. We have three people now. I wonder if my brother would like to go together?

After listening to Song Linger's words, Su Jianming finally understood why Ma Hu attacked him for no reason. It's just that he was confused about the task. Su Jianming inquired about the task of building a foundation elixir independently, and there has always been only one foundation elixir to receive. At this time, when he heard Song Linger's words, he was puzzled. However, he is not afraid that Song Linger will lie to him. He will know if he picks up this task, but he is thinking about what kind of task allows four people to form a team to complete?

Su Jianming raised his doubts. In the face of Su Jianming's question, Song Linger was not surprised at all. Obviously, it was the first time she encountered such a task. I only heard her say enthusiastically:

"There is a high risk with high returns. Generally, the mission of building a foundation is completed by one person, which is about the same as hunting a second-level monster. However, the task we received allowed four people to form a team, and the reward was still double, and the degree was naturally higher." At this point, she stopped for a moment before continuing, "Our goal this time is to hunt a three-level flame moon fox."

Even if he was prepared, Su Jianming was still shocked. In the Forgotten Continent, beasts are generally divided into ordinary beasts and monsters that can do some powerful demons. Ordinary beasts have nothing to say. As for monsters, they are generally divided into nine levels according to human standards. From one to nine, it corresponds to human gas refining, foundation building, early Jindan, middle Jindan, late Jindan, early Yuanying, middle Yuanying, late Yuanying and Yuanying. Therefore, the third-level flame moon fox is almost the initial strength of Jindan. No wonder Su Jianming was surprised.

"We know what the strength of Yan Yuehu is, and we also know our own strength, so if you don't want to participate, we won't force it," seemed to see Su Jianming's hesitation, Song Linger said in advance.

"How many levels of certainty do you have?" Su Jianming did not refuse directly. He thought about it first and then said in a low voice.

"seven floors!" Song Linger saw Su Jianming's movement and said hurriedly.

"Okay, I'll participate!" After estimating in his heart, Su Jianming replied decisively.
