Chapter 187: "Longevity Skill" Foundation Building

After buying what he needed in the market, Song Wen saw Ai Kun standing outside his yard as soon as he entered the alley where his courtyard was located.

Song Wen took two steps at a time and quickly came to Ai Kun and asked.

"Senior Ai, are you waiting for me?"

In the past two years, Ai Kun's unrestrained indulgence made his body more and more weak. He was not as vigorous as a cultivator should be. Instead, he looked like an ordinary old man in his twilight years, with a gloomy mood and even a hunched body.

Song Wen pushed open the gate, led Ai Kun into the courtyard, and sat down in the courtyard.

Ai Kun said, "I'm leaving the market. I'm here to say goodbye to you."

Song Wen looked surprised and asked, "Why did you suddenly decide to leave the market?"

Ai Kun sighed and said with some regret.

"My health has been getting worse in the past two years, and I am not able to draw talismans. It is no longer suitable for me to stay in the market. It is time to find a place to retire."

"It is also my fault. I could not resist the temptation of the witch of the Hehuan Sect, and my energy was seriously depleted."

"You are still young and there is still a glimmer of hope to impact the foundation-building realm. Don't learn from me. I indulged in desires and wasted my time."

"Looking back now, I was also full of vigor and vitality when I was young, and I had a place among the casual talisman masters in the market."

"I don't know when I fell into the love and desire of men and women, indulged myself wantonly, and couldn't extricate myself. My cultivation stopped there."

"Looking back on the past, it is really sad."

Looking at Ai Kun who was full of emotion, Song Wen did not interrupt, but listened to him quietly. This was the only thing he could do for the old man at the moment.

However, he couldn't help but complain in his heart:

When he was strong and strong, he was a fairy of the Hehuan Sect.

When he was weak and powerless, he became a witch of the Hehuan Sect.

People are really fickle.

After Ai Kun finished sighing, Song Wen spoke.

"Senior Ai, where do you plan to retire?"

Ai Kun said, "When I was young, I had a close friend who was from the Su family of Qingping Mountain. He invited me to the Su family many times to be a talisman master. But considering that the ancestor of the Su family was a Jindan strongman, I, a talisman master in the middle stage of Qi training, would not be able to show my face and would not be taken seriously if I went to the Su family, so I refused."

"A few days ago, he invited me to the Su family again to teach the younger generation of the Su family to draw talismans. I am lucky to be able to retire in the Su family in my current situation, so I agreed to my friend."

Song Wen said, "Then congratulations to Senior Ai."

Ai Kun waved his hand, "You don't have to call me Senior Ai anymore. Your cultivation is not lower than mine. You are about to break through the seventh level of Qi training, right?"

Song Wen shook his head, "It's not so easy to break through in the late stage of Qi training."

"I remember you are practicing "Changsheng Gong", right?" Ai Kun asked suddenly.

Song Wen nodded. He had asked Ai Kun about the techniques sold in the market. He knew that there was a foundation-building technique called "Changsheng Gong" in the market shop, and he also learned about it from Ai Kun.

After learning that there was a foundation-building technique called "Changsheng Gong" for sale, Song Wen immediately disguised himself and bought a copy.

"Changsheng Gong has the effect of prolonging life. It seems that you will live longer than me, an old man."

Song Wen didn't want to talk more about techniques and cultivation, so he changed the subject.

"When will Senior Ai leave the market? I will give you a farewell party."

"No need. You and I, who are cultivating immortals, why should we be bound by the mundane world?"

Ai Kun got up and left the courtyard.

Two days later, Ai Kun left the Donghua market, where he had struggled for decades, alone.

......

Song Wen continued to work hard, either refining pills or refining elixirs.

Spiritual stones were spent like running water. In the past two short years, more than 80,000 spiritual stones were spent.

To feed six holy armor Gu, one hundred spiritual stones were consumed every day. This was when he refined the elixir himself. If he bought elixirs for cultivation, the spiritual stone consumption would at least double or triple.

Three months passed in a blink of an eye. The "Changsheng Gong" had reached the perfection of Qi training, and it was time to build the foundation.

Song Wen put away the "Qi Condensing and Isolating Spirit Array" and "Nine Palaces Transforming Yin Array" in the underground secret room of the next courtyard, and went directly out of the market. Thousands of miles south of the market, he found a valley with scarce spiritual energy, dug a cave and began to retreat.

Seven days later, Song Wen, who had adjusted his spirit to the best state, held the foundation-building pill in one hand and the Tianling fruit in the other. After hesitating for a moment, he put away the foundation-building pill and took the Tianling fruit.

Having used the Tianling fruit to build the foundation once, with previous experience, Song Wen decided to use the Tianling fruit to build the foundation this time.

More than a month later, Song Wen walked out of the temporary cave.

This time, the foundation building went smoothly, so smoothly that Song Wen was a little bit unbelievable. He only took one Tianling fruit to successfully build the foundation.

Song Wen did not leave the valley. After he moved around in the valley, he returned to the temporary cave.

When he left the market, he prepared a lot of elixirs and spiritual herbs for refining elixirs. The blood qi elixir he used for cultivation and the beast brocade elixir needed for the holy armor poison were not in short supply for the time being. He planned to cultivate in this valley for a period of time, and return to the market after the elixir and spiritual herbs on his body were exhausted.

He stayed in the valley for three months, during which time he mainly practiced various thunder methods.

He had mastered the North Pole God Thunder and the Great Cave God Thunder among the nine heavenly thunders.

He also refined Lei Tianyu's short spear. The strange thing about this short spear was that it could attach thunder and lightning magic to it, making the short spear have the sharpness of a spiritual weapon and the power of thunder and lightning at the same time. It should be a spiritual weapon tailored for him by the Lei family.

For other thunder methods, Song Wen practiced two spells, Thunder Escape and Thunder Spear.

The Thunder Escape Technique can integrate thunder and lightning into the physical body, allowing monks to escape as quickly as thunder and lightning. It can be used to move around in a small area during a fight, or it can also be used to travel long distances.

However, this technique consumes a lot of spiritual power and is not suitable for long-term use. It can only be used to save one's life.

The Thunder Spear Technique summons five lightning spears, throws them out, and attacks the opponent.

During these three months, Song Wen discovered that the new version of the Blood Qi Pill could no longer improve his cultivation by leaps and bounds like during the Qi training period.

In the recent few times he has made elixirs, the main medicine he has used is Chixueteng, which is five hundred years old. This is already the oldest Chixueteng that can be bought in the market. Improvement is still difficult to satisfy Song Wen.

Song Wen understood that this was because the Blood Qi Pill was a first-level elixir, and the elixirs used were also first-level elixirs. No matter how much improvements were made, it would be difficult to significantly improve the cultivation level of the foundation-building monks.

"It seems that we need to develop a second-level elixir similar to the Blood Qi Pill."

Song Wen thought to himself, took out Rong Jingyun's alchemy experience, and looked at it carefully.

In the jade slips of the experience, Song Wen found a second-level elixir called the 'Blooded Pill'. This is a kind of elixir that is used to stimulate potential and briefly burst out powerful power when desperate. Taking one pill can... Forcibly improve the cultivation level of the foundation-building monks in a short period of time.

However, the side effects of this elixir are also very obvious. After taking it, you will be weak for a certain period of time, and it will cause Qi and blood depletion. If you take it multiple times, it may even affect the foundation of your cultivation.

Violent Blood Pill and Blood Qi Pill have different functions. Blood Qi Pill's improvement in cultivation is permanent, while Violent Blood Pill's improvement in cultivation is temporary.

However, both consume a large amount of essence and blood, and long-term use will cause serious loss of essence and blood, affecting the foundation.

After some brief thought, Song Wen decided to try to get a violent blood pill first to test its effect.

PS: Explanation on the second foundation building of "Longevity Kung".

Many readers are asking, please explain.

As mentioned earlier (Chapter 144), the magic power and the longevity power are independent of each other in the Dantian and do not interfere with each other. They are like the Yin and Yang sides of the Tai Chi diagram, which exist at the same time but are distinct.

The setting of this book: The foundation building requires spiritual energy to turn into liquid. The second foundation building is actually the process of the "Longevity Gong" in the Dantian and the spiritual energy turning into liquid.
