Chapter 114: Hidden Spirit, Begin to Build the Foundation! (5k, 8 a day, th day, please subscribe)

“So what should the family do recently?”

Shang Haoran frowned and said.

Shang Ting shook his head directly:

“Don’t do anything. I have [Enter Space]. This time I can try to build my foundation in complete concealment.”

And these family enemies, the Hu family, the Blood Demon Sect
As long as I achieve the foundation, all conspiracies and tricks will be suppressed.

“Okay, the family has already made preparations. I bought you a set of the second-level concealment formation [Spiritual Hidden Curtain]. The effect will definitely be better than before. Take a look.”

Shang Haoran smiled faintly, and then took out a set of carefully compiled formations.

“Lingyin Youmu” is a complex concealment formation.

It combines the three effects of spatial concealment, spiritual power interference and breath camouflage. It is an advanced formation specially designed to deal with the fluctuations of spiritual energy when practitioners break through.

Shang Haoran was able to buy it at a huge price at an auction in Qinglan Market.

Shang Haoran explained, and said:
“I have tested this set of Spirit Hidden Curtain. It can hide the fluctuations of your spiritual veins when you break through the foundation. Even the aftermath can only spread within the entire Shangjia inner city and will not spread out, so you can rest assured.”

This is a good tool.

Shang Ting smiled and said, “The master is thoughtful.”

Shang Haoran stood up, his face solemn:

“That’s it, just rest assured to build your foundation, I promise that no one outside will come to disturb you.”

At the same time, in a secret room of the Hu family.

This secret room is secluded in a deep house, and its walls are made of huge blue-gray square stones, covered with moss.

The room was dimly lit, with only a few faint rays of light coming in from the narrow vent above the head.

The ground was paved with cold bluestone slabs with several shallow depressions on them.

Hu Xueleng, Hu Yi and another man in a blue robe were sitting inside, discussing something with each other.

Hu Yi, the head of the Hu family’s foreign affairs department, is over seventy years old and has a head full of white hair.

At this time, he looked at the head of the family, Hu Xueleng, respectfully, and said in a deep voice:
“Congratulations, Master. The plan you implemented a year ago has gradually taken effect.”

“Calling the Blood Demon Sect disciples to rob merchants and caravans is a great move. It not only gives the family monks a legitimate opportunity to rob and kill, but also deals a heavy blow to their caravan trade.”

“Now, that old man got the foundation-building pill at an auction outside, but he can’t go back either, haha!”

At the end, Hu Yi couldn’t help laughing.

Hu Xue Leng, who was in front of him, was wearing a blood-stained robe and looked quite pleased with himself. Hearing this, he said:

“Don’t brag about me, Patriarch. Although I proposed the plan, you were the one who manipulated it in secret, and the results were very good.”

“Now that merchant has lost the foundation-building pill, that merchant pavilion will definitely not be able to build a foundation for the time being.”

“Of course, this is all thanks to Elder Mu’s help.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Hu Xueleng and Hu Yi both looked at the sitting man in blue robe.

This person is the elder Mu Xiufu invited by Hu Xue Leng!

The foundation-building cultivator, who mainly studies the water path and supplements with the blood path, is a middle-aged man with an extraordinary appearance and a calm demeanor.

Hearing this, Mu Xiufu remained calm with a faint smile on his face and said:
“I take money from others to help them get rid of disasters. It’s just a transaction. No need to thank them.”

Hu Xue Leng noticed that he was wearing a light blue robe, and the robe seemed to have flowing water waves.

The fabric of the dress was spiritual silk, which shone with a faint blue light in the dim light. The corners and cuffs of the dress were embroidered with fine water ripples, like a trickle of water.

This could be a precious vestment!
This man is really wealthy.
Hu Xue Leng said in his heart.

Then, Mu Xiufu said:
“Elder Hu, you and I have signed the contract now. When do you plan to make the move?”

The voice was as gentle as water, low yet clear, just like the sound of a spring flowing through rocks.

Every word uttered is as moist as water, making people feel calm and peaceful when listening to it.

Is this pushing yourself?

Hu Xue Leng frowned slightly.

According to the contract, Mu Xiufu must help him completely occupy the entire Huangyan Mountains.

Only when that day comes will Hu Xue Leng hand over the complete “Spiritual Blood Yuan Gong” to him.

Therefore, for Mu Xiufu, this task should be completed as soon as possible.

Hu Xue Leng suppressed his dissatisfaction, smiled and said:
“According to the plan, we will take action soon!”

“Now my Blood Spirit has been refined to a stable level, and its strength has reached the middle stage of the second transformation. The Blood Zombie Bat has also been successfully refined, and its strength has greatly increased!”

After saying that, he clapped his hands and took out a group of bloody zombie monsters from his spirit beast bag!
This bat is as big as a golden eagle, and its wingspan is more than ten feet long!
Its body is rotten and gray-black. The surface of this gray-black skin is covered with blood vessels that wriggle like earthworms. Dark red blood flows in the blood vessels, emitting a faint smell mixed with rot and blood.

Its head was a twisted skull, and its two eyes were burning with faint green flames. The flames flickered restlessly, revealing endless greed and cruelty.

“Wow”

The bloody bat proudly opened its bloody mouth, which was full of jagged fangs.

“This is exactly what I made from the flying zombie I captured. It’s at the lower level of the second transformation, so it can be of some help.”

Hu Xue smiled indifferently.

He glanced at the fleeting look of surprise on Mu Xiufu’s face and felt satisfied.

A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Mu Xiu Fu’s arrogant attitude had already made him dissatisfied.

If they were not in the secret room, he would have wanted to sacrifice the Blood Spirit to severely suppress this man’s arrogance.

Mu Xiufu asked calmly:
“Since Elder Hu’s strength has greatly increased, how do you plan to attack him?”

Hearing this, Hu Yi also looked at Hu Xue Leng with curiosity.

Hu Xue Leng’s face turned serious and he said solemnly:
“Although we have the advantage, the Shang and Yao families also have their own trump cards. I plan not to make a move, but once I do, I will attack with all my strength and not give them any chance to react!”

“good.”

Hu Yi and Mu Xiufu showed approval on their faces and nodded.

The three of them discussed some details and finalized how the plan would be implemented.

Suddenly, Mu Xiufu frowned, as if he remembered some bad news. He stretched out his hand to interrupt the conversation between the two and said:

“Elder Hu, there is one thing we must pay attention to.”

“Our Blood Demon Sect’s spy in the Yanyang Sect sent us information that the Shang Family’s son and daughter, Shang Jianfeng and Shang Ruyao, have now taken Yun Ji Jia Dan Zhenren as their master. They are currently in the eighth level of Qi training and are striving to establish their foundation. Do you know about this?”

Shang Haoran’s children take Master Jiadan as their master!

Hu Xue Leng’s expression paused, and he said in surprise:
“I really don’t know. Is this true?”

Mu Xiufu raised his eyebrows and said:
“Firstly, although the Yanyang Sect prohibits elders from intervening in external family affairs, if this Yunji Master is dissatisfied and sends someone to investigate, you may not be able to handle it.”

“Secondly, if Shang Jianfeng and Shang Ruyao succeed in building their foundation, they will be two people building their foundation. The Shang family was destroyed by you, and they will definitely take revenge in the future. What should we do about this matter?”

As soon as these two sentences came out, Hu Xueleng and Hu Yi looked at each other and fell silent.

“I didn’t know this information before.”

But Hu Xue showed no fear at all and said directly:

“Master Yunji can’t do it himself, so don’t be afraid. Even if he sends people to investigate my Hu family, they won’t find any traces. All the family members are taking missions in Liang Country. As for practicing the Blood Path, he can’t catch us killing innocent people. So what if we practice it?!”

“These two are indeed a big problem, two foundation-building seeds. But that’s not the case. Foundation-building is difficult, and they may not succeed.”

“Even if I succeed, it will be at least ten years later. By then, I will have already made further progress, and there will be new foundation builders in the family. I will not be afraid. How can the great cause of my Hu family shrink back because of two little kids?!”

These words were full of heroic spirit, and Hu Yi and Mu Xiufu were slightly shocked when they heard them.

Mu Xiufu pondered for a moment, then smiled and said:
“It’s actually okay. I can also let the hidden agents in Yanyang Sect interact with these two foundation-building seeds, and then lure them out and kill them. But what’s the price?”

No wonder he brought this up, and in the end he still wanted me to pay more money, he is indeed an old fox!
Hu Xue Leng cursed in his heart.

But Shang Jianfeng and Shang Ruyao are indeed a major threat in the future. It would be best if they could be eliminated at a small cost.

“Oh? Elder Mu, please tell us in detail. My Hu family is very interested in this.”

Seven days later, the merchant.

Inside the room, the alchemy cauldron was blazing with heat and white smoke was rising.

Shang Ting sat in front of the alchemy cauldron and took out a magic medicine.

It turned out to be the 200-year-old Jade Liquid and Flowing Golden Flower!
This is an extremely rare spiritual plant. After two hundred years of growth, it contains extremely rich spiritual power.

It is about half a foot tall, with a slender yet extremely tough stem, as if carved from jade, with a faint halo flowing around it.

The flowers are the most magical part of the Jade Liquid Golden Flower.

The flowers are in full bloom, the petals are crystal clear, with strands of golden veins on them, as if flowing with golden juice, which is also the origin of its name.

These golden veins are not static, but flow slowly, as if they have life, transmitting the flower’s spiritual power among the petals.

The stamens of the Jade Liquid Flowing Gold Flower are like white lychees, emitting bursts of fragrance. This fragrance contains pure spiritual power fluctuations, which can attract the surrounding spiritual energy to gather. “Go.”

After Shang Ting used his magic power to nurture the Jade Liquid Flowing Golden Flower, he threw it directly into the alchemy cauldron without any regrets.

The fire was so fierce that it quickly refined the spiritual flower.

What is being refined now is naturally the first-level top-grade elixir, [Hua Ling Pei Yuan Dan]!
The most significant effect of this pill is that it can increase the success rate of foundation building by half.

In the path of cultivating immortals, foundation building is a crucial step. Many immortal cultivators have been stuck at the peak of Qi Refining for many years but have never been able to break through that threshold.

However, [Hua Ling Pei Yuan Dan] can increase their precious chances of success at the critical moment when they are trying to build their foundation.

A half-improvement may not seem like much, but in this foundation-building process that is full of variables and dangers, it may become the key factor that determines success or failure!
Moreover, Shang Ting has this two-hundred-year-old Jade Liquid Golden Flower as the main ingredient, which doubles the efficacy of the Hualing Peiyuan Pill!
It can increase the success rate of a cultivator’s foundation building by a full ten percent!

I had refined it before, so it would be a piece of cake for me to refine it this time.

Shang Ting carefully controlled the fusion of the medicinal liquid in the alchemy furnace.

The spiritual power contained in the Jade Liquid Flowing Golden Flower is gentle and mellow.

This mild property allows it to blend well with other medicinal ingredients during the alchemy process without causing violent spiritual power conflicts.

At the same time, Jade Liquid Golden Flower is used as the main medicine, and its spiritual power becomes the core spiritual power source of the elixir.

The spiritual energy of other medicinal materials merged and transformed around it, eventually creating this top-grade first-level pill.

Half an hour later, without any accidents, the refining was successfully completed easily.

“rise!”

Shang Ting used his magic power to hold this [Hua Ling Pei Yuan Dan] and observed it for a while.

The whole thing is a warm jade white color, as delicate and smooth as mutton-fat jade.

There are faint patterns on the surface of the pill, which vaguely outline the shape of the petals of the Jade Liquid Flowing Golden Flower, sealing the charm of the Jade Liquid Flowing Golden Flower into the pill.

In the center of the pill, there is a tiny golden light spot, emitting a soft golden light. That is the spiritual essence of the Jade Liquid and Golden Flower.

At the same time, it also exudes a faint fragrance, which is a mixture of the fragrance of Jade Liquid Liujin Flower and the unique scent of other auxiliary medicinal materials.

The fragrance of this elixir is not strong, but it has a penetrating power that reaches deep into the spiritual orifices.

When Shang Ting smelled the fragrance of the elixir, he felt the spiritual power in his body tremble slightly, as if it was awakened by this breath.

The body becomes lighter and the spirit is lifted!
Shang Ting smiled faintly:

“Yes, good quality.”

Then he took the Hua Ling Pei Yuan Dan directly!
A warm and powerful spiritual power immediately surged in the body.

This spiritual power flowed out of the elixir like a trickle of water, but quickly spread throughout the body, like morning mist spreading in the valley.

Peiyuan Dan, nourishes the essence and strengthens the foundation.

The spiritual power first acted on Shang Ting’s internal meridians, as if they were being nourished and repaired.

The efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy has been significantly improved, and the spiritual root meridians that were originally blocked or not functioning smoothly have begun to become unobstructed.

Wherever this spiritual power passes, the remaining impurities in the meridians are washed away bit by bit, making the meridians purer and able to accommodate more spiritual power.

The dantian area of ​​Shangting was undergoing significant changes.

The spiritual power of the elixir poured into the dantian, gradually condensing into a more powerful and pure ball of spiritual power.

This provides a more solid spiritual power foundation for cultivators to reach the foundation-building realm!

Moreover, the fluctuations of spiritual power around Dantian became more orderly, and the originally chaotic spiritual power began to operate according to a specific rhythm.

As if it was a rehearsal for the upcoming foundation-building process, Shang Ting’s Dantian Lingqiao was in a vibrant, stable and orderly state.

“Okay, everything is ready, let’s build the foundation today!”

Shang Ting looked indifferent and left the room.

Alone, dressed in green, he came to an unknown hill outside the Beast Taming Pavilion.

This time is the same as last time, and the method of building the foundation in secret is also adopted.

Inside the hill, there is a secret room with an ancient charm.

The entrance to the secret room is narrow and hidden, only wide enough for one person to pass sideways.

After entering the kiosk, the space suddenly becomes bright.

The ground is paved with smooth bluestone, the stone surface is smooth and has fine patterns engraved on it.

It twists and turns like a spiritual vein and is part of a spirit gathering formation, faintly emitting faint fluctuations of spiritual energy.

Shang Ting entered and instantly inhaled a huge and pure spiritual energy through his nose.

High-level spirit gathering arrays have been set up in this secret room and around the hill to gather the large amount of spiritual energy from the second-level spirit veins here in advance.

The surrounding walls were made of huge rocks, and inlaid between the cracks in the rocks were spiritual crystals that emitted soft light. These spiritual crystals were arranged in an orderly manner, like stars adorning the night sky, illuminating the secret room.

On the wall, there were formation flags inserted at regular intervals. The flags were flashing with a faint blue light and were connected to each other, forming a series of small bans!
It must be to reinforce the secret room, and also to prevent the leakage of spiritual energy.

“The family’s preparations are extremely sound.”

Shang Ting was satisfied.

Looking at the top, the top of the secret room is dome-shaped, with a circular depression in the center of the dome, like a sky lake.

The spiritual energy here is the most concentrated. Wisps of spiritual energy are like materialized clouds, floating slowly and continuously falling down.

This is the core where the spiritual power of the entire spirit gathering array is gathered. The design is so wonderful that it is amazing.

In the center of the secret room, there is a circular formation area about one meter in size, with a coarse linen cushion placed on it.

This formation is made up of many spiritual materials and emits brilliant spiritual light.

This is the key to the high-level spirit gathering formation!
The spiritual energy from the surrounding second-level spiritual veins is guided through layer by layer and continuously gathers here.

“buzz”

Around the formation, there are several small spiritual energy whirlpools that are slowly rotating, making a slight humming sound.

Like the heartbeat of a spiritual vein, it indicates that this vast and pure spiritual energy is rushing towards this place endlessly.

Shang Ting sat upright on the futon, took out a communication jade slip, and spoke:
“Uncle Haoran, I’m ready.”

A gentle voice immediately responded from the side of the jade slip:

“Okay, then I will activate the [Spiritual Hidden Curtain] now. When the concealment formation is fully activated, you can take the foundation-building pill and start the breakthrough.”

“Remember the experience I have given you over the past seven days. You cannot avoid the obstruction of the spiritual energy transport in the meridians, the spatial transformation of the spiritual orifice barrier, the condensation of the sea of ​​qi and its subsequent consolidation. Be extremely careful.”

“Finally, I wish you success!”

The words were spoken with great solemnity and sincerity.

Shang Ting smiled and said:

“Do not worry.”

“Okay, then I’ll start.”

The sound of the jade slip was cut off.

Immediately afterwards, there was a slight shock inside and outside the secret room!
The Lingyin Mysterious Curtain has been fully activated.

In an instant, invisible mist rose up, and Shang Ting felt that an independent small space was formed inside the secret room.

This space creates a wonderful isolation effect from the outside world.

Looking at this hill from the outside, it appears to be shrouded in an invisible fog. Light is distorted when it approaches this area, making it difficult for the naked eye to perceive the scene.

This spatial concealment effect is not only a visual block, it can also prevent external spiritual detection methods from penetrating into it.

Whether it is a magic weapon that relies on the perception of spiritual power fluctuations, or a technique that is good at detecting the spiritual power in space.

Once you touch this space barrier, you will be bounced away or misled, thinking that this area is just an ordinary open space or a place where spiritual energy fluctuates normally.

At the same time, the spiritual interference effect also began to take effect.

Inside the formation, it will interfere with the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations generated when Shang Ting breaks through.

This kind of interference is like throwing countless stones into a calm lake, disrupting the originally orderly ripples of spiritual power.

The formation will release a series of complex spiritual runes. These runes are like nimble little fish, shuttling between the spiritual energy overflowing from the practitioners.

They constantly change the frequency, direction and intensity of spiritual energy fluctuations.

The originally surging and distinctive breakthrough spiritual energy fluctuations are transformed into a chaotic and weak signal similar to the spiritual energy fluctuations in the surrounding environment.

So from the outside, the fluctuations of spiritual energy here seem as weak as those of a cultivator in the early stages of Qi training.

“The effect is good, I bought a good thing.”

Shang Ting’s eyes lit up and he immediately took out the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Without hesitation, he swallowed it in one gulp and started building the foundation!
