Chapter Thirty: Building Foundation Skills

  "Kid, you're a Spirit of Mystical Ice and Fire. How did you get this?" The mysterious man's mouth was agape, clicking his tongue in astonishment.

  "It's a coincidence, I met him at Gougu Gully..."

  Wang Fei recounted the events of Gou Pu's stream, leaving the mysterious person stunned. In the end, the mysterious person simply said to wait until after the foundation was laid before researching this matter again and planned to continue sleeping. However, when Wang Fei heard "foundation", he thought of the upcoming Xiuzhen Easy Meeting and asked: "Senior, do you have any techniques for the foundation period?"

  "What is the foundation of your cultivation method?" The mysterious person paused, saying, "There is a set."

  Wang Fei heard that and felt a surge of joy in his heart, but the next moment, the mysterious person's words poured cold water on him.

  This technique, although it can be practiced from the foundation-building period to the embryonic stage, and is of the highest quality, after cultivation, it is almost invincible at the same level. However, to cultivate this technique, one must first cultivate a middle-grade or higher technique of the same realm boundary.

  Must first cultivate the Gongfa above the intermediate level of the same boundary!

  Wang Fei was stunned, he didn't even have time to cultivate one technique, yet he had to cultivate two techniques at the same time, and before that, he had to cultivate a middle-grade or higher technique.

  Vomit blood! Mid-tier cultivation method, it's not a common cabbage, can be found casually?

  The Ling Yu period only has the Ling Qi Kou Jue, there is no such thing as a Gong Fa, so the high and low of one's real strength depends entirely on their cultivation. Of course, there are also various magical tools and talismans, but after entering the foundation-building period, it becomes different. One's real strength depends entirely on what kind of Gong Fa they cultivate; if the Gong Fa is superior, then one's real strength will be formidable.

  Generally, low-level gongfa can be found in ordinary sects, but mid-level gongfa requires some larger sects to produce, let alone high-level and top-level gongfa.

  It's actually quite difficult for him to get his hands on a mid-tier foundation-building technique at this point.

  But in the next moment, Wang Fei had an idea. This time, the Cultivation Easy Meeting didn't have a middle-grade or higher foundation-building method appear, did it? Perfect for me!

  Thinking of this, Wang Fei snapped his fingers and calculated that the exchange meeting was about to begin. At present, he had a large number of spiritual crystals in his hands, as well as more than a dozen low-grade talismans, and even three mid-grade ghost symbols.

  In addition to this, there are two medium-grade artifacts, a mysterious ancient flying sword, and all the wealth and defensive items were brought along.

  Next, Wang Fei slightly mobilized his spiritual energy and looked inward at the spiritual root within his body.

  At present, Wang Fei has three spiritual roots in his body, two of which are fire spiritual roots and one is a golden spiritual root. However, the three spiritual roots have not merged together but instead overlap within the Devouring Spiritual Root, making it difficult to concentrate his strength when practicing breathing exercises.

  It's just like a rope, pulling three twisted ropes together is much harder than pulling them apart one by one. Similarly, when the three spiritual roots are fully integrated, their absorption of spiritual energy and cultivation speed will definitely be more efficient than absorbing separately.

  Then, Wang Fei arrived at the practice room, sat down cross-legged, circulated his Qi in the Dan Tian, and burst out with spiritual power. He followed the meridians, flowing towards the three spiritual roots that wrapped around the swallowed spiritual root.

  Jin Linggen didn't say anything, and Wang Fei decided to first merge the two Huo Linggens.

  Ling root fusion, with alchemy elixir has a similar subtlety, Wang Fei is an alchemist, for ling root fusion, also more familiar than ordinary people, according to his own alchemy experience, he transformed spiritual power into two strands of spiritual threads, each controlling one strand of ling root, using spiritual power as a guide, gradually fusing in.

  Merging the spiritual roots is equivalent to implanting them in his own body. Every inch Wang Fei moved the spiritual power thread, the two spiritual roots would move a fraction, and his whole body felt like it was being cut through its tendons, with waves of stabbing pain invading his mind and body. In less than a moment, Wang Fei's entire body was drenched in sweat.

  However, Wang Fei did not dare to stop, gritted his teeth and persisted, pinched the law, continued to control the spiritual power, and pulled each other.

  Half a day later, Wang Fei's whole body was drenched in sweat, but the two Fire Spirit Roots inside his body were getting closer and closer, almost fusing together.

  Just then, with a loud "bang", a huge noise came from within Wang Fei's body. The spiritual energy threads were like a broken violin string, and the two fire spirit roots that were about to merge also separated again. Wang Fei suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face deathly pale.

  "Cough, how could this be? The spiritual root cannot merge?" Wang Fei was shocked and hastily circulated his Qi to stabilize his injuries.

  The silk threads of spiritual power repaired the damaged meridians, and after a while, Wang Fei's complexion gradually recovered. He stared at the broken spiritual threads inside his body and the two spiritual roots that had split apart again, unable to understand. His senior had said before that swallowing spiritual roots could absorb others' spiritual roots and then merge with them.

  Wait, fusion?

  Wang Fei was taken aback, recalling the scene from that day. Only then did he realize that it seemed to be himself who had said something about merging and expanding his spiritual root. The senior had merely echoed him.

  At this moment, Wang Fei was speechless.

  It seems that in order to merge them, another method must be used. However, for now, it is temporarily impossible.

  Then, Wang Fei took a deep breath and decided to go out for a stroll to see if there were any new things, after all, it's about balancing work and rest.

  Li Mu was no longer there, and there was nothing around that could threaten him. However, the next moment, a figure flashed through Wang Fei's mind, surprisingly it was Shao Chongyang, the guardian disciple of Beigong.

  On that day, Shao Chongyang had victory within his grasp, but was ruined by the sudden appearance of Wang Fei. Before he left, he gave Wang Fei a fierce stare, which sent a chill down his spine and is still remembered by Wang Fei to this day.

  However, the other party is a prestigious disciple, and their status and position are vastly different from mine. Moreover, it's been three years, they should have long forgotten about me, especially since I've kept such a low profile.

  However, out of caution, Wang Fei was still careful and fortunately, Shao Zhongyang's cave mansion was in the north, relatively far from their central location.

  Wang Fei walked out of the main courtyard, heading towards the outside. Wang Fei didn't deliberately hold back his cultivation, and his actual strength was at the sixth layer of Ling Xuan. Among the many formal disciples, he wasn't considered top-notch, but rather mid-to-upper level. Ordinary disciples wouldn't usually look for trouble with him.

  After circling around for a while, Wang Fei decided to go to Hongfei Building.

  Hongfei Building is the place where Dan Ge teaches his skills, every half month, specializing in teaching various techniques and cultivation experiences. Every once in a while, it will be repeated, after all, the Lingyue period's technique is limited, and it can't be taught indefinitely. Moreover, some new apprentices need to be taken care of.

  Before long, Wang Fei arrived at Hongfeilou.

  Outside Hongfei Building, there was a cyan-colored ban, Wang Fei took out the jade token of his formal disciple and drew a stroke on it.

  The green light flashed, the ban was lifted, and Wang Fei walked in.

  There weren't many people inside, only twenty or thirty, with three to five people gathered together discussing something. Wang Fei's gaze swept across the room and he discovered that except for two or three people whose cultivation was higher than his own, everyone else was below the sixth layer of Qi Refining. Roughly estimating, his own strength already ranked as a mid-tier figure in Dan Pavilion.

  Wang Fei, having just been promoted to a formal disciple, had gone into seclusion and had not interacted with the other disciples. So when he appeared, he attracted attention from the people around him, who cast sideways glances at him. Wang Fei's expression remained unchanged as he walked directly to the front row and sat down.

  "What should I call you, young master?"

  Wang Fei sat down, and soon after, a clear voice came from behind him. He turned his head to look back, and saw a man in his thirties standing before him. The man had a square face, with a typical Daoist hairstyle, and an expression of calmness.

  And his cultivation was actually a level higher than his own, Ling Yu's seven layers, but he didn't know why someone with a higher cultivation level than himself would come to get close to him.

  Curiosity returned with curiosity, and Wang Fei politely replied: "Wang Fei."

  Upon hearing this, he was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said: "Wang Fei? Could it be that Brother is the Wang Fei who was brought in by Shifu's sister Yao Shu?"

  Wang Fei suddenly looked up, his expression changed. The man seemed to realize something and quickly explained: "Brother Wang, don't misunderstand, I just heard it from our fellow disciples who returned from the last trial. Hehe, forgot to introduce myself, my name is Mo Zixuan."

  "Master Mo is looking for me, what's the matter?"
