Chapter 52 The foundation of heaven
The name is very clear and concise.

Lin Yu picked up the book and started reading.

The book is very thick, but Lin Yu has his spiritual sense and can remember most of it with just a glance.

So I quickly went through this book “Detailed Explanation of Foundation Building Knowledge”.

“It turns out that there are so many aspects to building a foundation.”

Lin Yu closed the book and sighed inwardly.

According to the records in the book, there are many ways to build a foundation, but after careful examination, they can be divided into three categories:

The first is to build the foundation of the ordinary way, which is the path most people take. After reaching the peak of Qi training, one can take the foundation-building pill to achieve a breakthrough.

The foundation-building cultivators who achieve this method have relatively weak roots and thin spiritual power. After successfully building the foundation, their lifespan is only a hundred years longer than that of the Qi training stage.

The second is to build a foundation through earth veins, which is the path taken by geniuses in cultivation. They absorb the energy of the earth veins to achieve foundation building.

The cultivators who achieve foundation building through this method will have a solid foundation and abundant spiritual power, and their life span can be extended by two hundred years. The earth vein foundation building is divided into nine levels, one to nine levels, and the higher the level, the stronger the strength.

The third method is a foundation-building method that only exists in rumors, called Heavenly Dao Foundation-building, which involves absorbing the Heavenly Dao Qi to achieve foundation-building.

Ancient creatures were favored by Heaven, and their bodies were filled with Heaven’s aura when they were born.

When these ancient creatures break through the foundation, they can achieve the Heavenly Dao foundation by absorbing the Heavenly Dao Qi in their bodies.

The Heavenly Dao foundation can extend one’s life span by 500 years. The foundation is perfect, the spiritual power is strong, and most importantly: the potential is unlimited.

Humans can also use special formations or tools to invoke the Heavenly Way, allowing it to send down Heavenly Way energy for cultivators to complete their Heavenly Way foundation.

As for the specific formations and artifacts, the author has no idea because he had only heard about them.

“It has unlimited potential.”

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes, feeling a little yearning.

But he quickly shook his head and brought his thoughts back to reality.

The foundation building of the Heavenly Dao was too illusory. Even the great man who wrote the book had never seen a human complete the foundation building of the Heavenly Dao, so there was no need for him to think too much about it.

What he should consider now is to find a way to build up the foundation of the earth veins a few layers higher.

Unfortunately, this book “Detailed Explanation of Foundation Building Knowledge” explains the theory in great detail, but is very vague on how to improve the level of ground vein foundation building.

It only talked about the divisions from one to nine levels, without a single word about anything more specific.

While Lin Yu was thinking, he suddenly heard a gentle voice:
“Junior brother, can I borrow the book in your hand?”

Lin Yu turned his head and looked in the direction where the voice came from. It was an acquaintance, Ye Mingfeng.

Ye Mingfeng was also a little surprised when he saw Lin Yu turning his head:

“So it’s you, Junior Brother Lin.”

“Senior Brother Ye.” Lin Yu clasped his hands together.

“Junior brother, can you lend me the book you have in your hand?” Ye Mingfeng said again.

“Naturally.”

Lin Yu handed the book over, since he had already finished reading it.

“Thank you, junior brother.”

Ye Mingfeng took the book and flipped through it quickly, reading ten lines at a glance, as if he was looking for something.

While Lin Yu was looking for other ancient books related to foundation building, he was silently paying attention to this Senior Brother Ye.

I saw him flipping through the ancient books over and over again, looking for something. He looked through them several times, but it seemed that he didn’t find what he wanted.

He put down the book, said hello to Lin Yu, and left disappointed.

That area explains the earth vein foundation building. Brother Ye, are you here to look for knowledge related to the earth vein foundation building?
Is there no one to teach such a Taoist body? Lin Yu made a blind guess in his mind, then put away his thoughts and continued to look through the ancient books.

There are many ancient books related to foundation building, especially some ancient books that explain physical cultivation and foundation building, which look as good as new.

It should be the batch that was snatched from the Tianlong Sect. In order to prevent disciples from damaging the ancient books during the borrowing process, a new replica was made.

It took Lin Yu an entire afternoon to go through all these ancient books.

He knew nothing about foundation building before, but after an afternoon of study, he has completely changed.

He also saw in a book how to improve the foundation level of the earth veins, which is to cultivate the spiritual body at the same time.

When one of them reaches its peak, the higher the level of the other one, the higher the level of the formed ground vein.

But the contents of the nine-level foundation building and the Heavenly Dao foundation building, which he wanted to know most, were vague in every book and did not provide detailed introductions.

Lin Yu estimated that the author himself probably didn’t know either.

While Lin Yu was soaking in the book collection area, something happened in the outside world again.

The list of monks who entered the Dao Body Spirit Pool was released.

This list has not been made public, and many disciples who did not sign up are completely unaware of this matter.

But for some people, this list is not difficult to get.

Lin Yu’s name was on the list.

In the high-end private room of Xiaozhu Peak, a group of second-generations were eating spiritual food while cursing.

“Why don’t the sect master and several elders consider us for this free opportunity to enter the Dao Body Spirit Pool?” One of the second-generation took a sip of spiritual wine and his mouth was strong with the smell of alcohol when he spoke.

“We need talents and cultivation, and maybe we can awaken our spirit bodies.”

“I think the elders really chose randomly.”

Qin Ding from the Alchemy Hall was also among them: “Lin Yu, who was promoted to an outer disciple of our Alchemy Hall just over a month ago, was selected. Why am I not so lucky?”

“What? A guy who was just promoted a month ago was selected? The people above are probably the brains.”

“Be careful!”

A harsh rebuke interrupted what the second generation was about to say.

After being scolded, the second generation immediately realized what he had just done, and quickly apologized to Xu Yunxing who scolded him: “Sorry, Brother Xu, I was drunk and said some nonsense.”

“The higher-ups naturally have their own considerations. Maybe these people have some special characteristics that we can’t see.”

Xu Yunxing said these polite words, but even he himself didn’t believe them.

Although several second-generation soldiers went to the battlefield, they only did logistical work behind the battlefield and did not fight on the front line.

I got some merit points, but not much. Naturally, I was unwilling to spend fifty merit points to exchange for an illusory opportunity.

But when they saw that someone was able to enter the Dao Body Spirit Pool without paying any price, they were still a little angry.

“Brother Xu, if you want to get in, I have a way.”

When Qin Ding saw Xu Yunxing’s expression, he guessed what he was thinking.

“What method?” Before Xu Yunxing opened his mouth, a second-generation man next to Qin Ding asked impatiently.

Seeing Xu Yunxing also showing an interested expression, Qin Ding said maliciously:
“We can’t force the places designated by the three real people, but if those people voluntarily give up their places to us, even if they are real people, we can’t say anything more.”

“We use spirit stones to buy a vague opportunity to awaken the Dao body. How can it be as attractive as real spirit stones?”

“Like Lin Yu, the young cultivator in my Alchemy Hall who just started his career not long ago, you threw a thousand spirit stones in front of him, can he resist such temptation?”
