Chapter Nineteen: Laying the Foundation Below

  With a wave of his hand and a burst of thunder from his mouth, a loud voice boomed out:

  "The heart stores the spirit, and the spirit is stable. The fire energy of the Southern Red Emperor rises to the origin!"

  "The liver stores the soul, and the soul is calm. The green wood energy of the east direction returns to the origin!"

  "The spleen stores will, then the will is determined, the central yellow emperor's earth Qi rises to the origin!"

  "When the lungs store air, then the air is stable, the golden energy of the White Emperor of the Western direction returns to its origin!"

  "The kidneys store essence, and the essence is stable. The water qi of the North Pole's Black Emperor returns to its origin!"

  The Ling stones in Zhang Hao's hand were like lit firecrackers, rapidly exploding one after another, emitting a dull explosive sound.

  In just a split second, more than three hundred top-grade spirit stones exploded and turned into dust.

  The pressure on his head gradually subsided.

  Zhang Hao's spiritual energy in the sea of consciousness has already tended towards exhaustion.

  "With a mighty clenching of fists, his dry, cracked lips moved to utter in a low voice: 'The Five Elements return to their places, Heaven and Earth are clear and bright!'"

  As the last syllable was uttered, the oppressive force on top of his head vanished into thin air.

  Every pore on his body opened wide, and the surrounding heavenly spiritual energy swarmed in.

  The five internal organs were nourished by the spiritual energy, emitting a strange gurgling sound, and with the vibration of the sound, the five internal organs emitted a strong vital energy.

  The whole body's muscles and bones are tense, like a drawn bow, capable of being stretched or relaxed.

  "The Xingchen practice method is indeed extraordinary, not only can it successfully build the foundation, but also temper the tendons, bones and skin, forging a strong physique, worthy of being the number one practice method of ancient times."

  He gazed at Zhang Hao's entire body, his muscles and bones seeming to be coated with a layer of dark golden oil, and laughed in admiration.

  "Now that you've activated the Fulong Cauldron, you can cultivate the Witch Tribe's Body Refining Technique. I'll pass on this cultivation method to you now, so take some time to get familiar with it. As long as you activate the Fulong Cauldron inside the Tongtian Tower, you can refine your body."

  In just half an hour, Zhang Hao's depleted spiritual energy was fully restored. The spiritual energy in his body surged and flowed like a river, emitting a sound of waves crashing.

  "The meridians are like rivers."

  "The momentum is surging like a tide."

  "Haha, haha...... You little stinker, you've just established your foundation and your meridians are already so powerful. I'm afraid the amount of spiritual energy stored in your body is at least three times that of a cultivator of the same realm."

  Zhang Hao's body was filled with a surge of spiritual energy, and he burst out laughing triumphantly.

  Zhang Hao slowly stood up, feeling the surging spiritual energy in his body. With a casual clench of his fists, he could feel the powerful strength contained within his arms, which was purely physical prowess.

  Can break a big tree with bare hands, and can lift a giant bell or tripod with both hands at will.

  Zhang Hao had read in a book that one Ding of strength in the Three Thousand Worlds was roughly equivalent to about 180 catties.

  Zhang Hao shook hands and felt it for a moment. His current physical strength should be close to that of two Ding.

  Just then, a fiery red shadow suddenly flew out of the woods not far from his side.

  Zhang Hao took a closer look and found that it was only the size of a fist, a small red thing with a small head on which two antennae-like tentacles protruded, and a shell similar to a snail's on its back, with strange and intricate patterns like arrays of symbols on the shell, but this thing was at least a hundred times faster than a snail.

  A small scarlet thing flashed across in front of his eyes at high speed, burning the air into a wisp of cyan smoke.

  "What is this?" Zhang Hao asked, holding up the cup.

  "Chi Yan swallowed the spiritual beast, this is one of the fire-type divine beasts of the Chi Yan clan, and it's on the same level as the Chi Yan Fuxi divine turtle and the Chi Yan Lieyan dragon. Moreover, it's still a young beast! This is a great thing, with this thing, wherever it hides, there will be spiritual veins. Let's chase after it quickly!"

  He shouted anxiously and urgently.

  Zhang Hao took a step forward and suddenly found himself several meters away, shocking him into a loud cry.

  Looking up ahead, all I saw was the Vermilion Flame Beast's four limbs dancing in the air as it climbed up the sheer cliff with incredible agility and speed. The strange, fiery patterns on its protruding carapace flickered incessantly.

  One side was adapting to the physical success of the foundation, while the other was carefully following behind. In a moment, two people were climbing on the cliff and one was chasing on the ground, soon they caught up with the Tian Ti at the entrance of the inner door disciples in Cuigu Valley.

  The Crimson Flame Beast arrived at the Heavenly Staircase, and the fiery red glow on its body suddenly intensified greatly. Its figure charged forward, and it vanished from sight at the entrance of the staircase.

  "Did you go in? Inside is the inner gate, we don't have a token, it's impossible to enter!" Zhang Hao looked at where Chi Yan Xun Ling Beast disappeared and said helplessly to Jiao.

  "Now that you have successfully built your foundation, according to the rules of the Red Dust Sword Sect, you should be able to enter the inner sect and cultivate to become an inner sect disciple of the Red Dust Sword Sect."

  As soon as Zhang Hao thought of the cold and unfeeling face of his senior sister, he felt a little surprised and at the same time vaguely uneasy, because at the same time that cold and ruthless, hysterical and crazy voice echoed in the depths of his heart.

  "There isn't a single good man in this world!"

  As if cursed, yet like a nightmare, gloomy, cold, and eerie, it sent a chill up his spine.

  The female demon of Luo River.

  Muttering to herself as she gazed up at the sky growing brighter and brighter.

  At this moment, he felt that there was a mysterious power controlling his life and death in the dark. Whether it was his master's sister or that strange voice, but he was just an outsider, yet all of this had to be borne by him now.

  Slowly walked back to his own wooden house from Cuigou.

  Inside the inner gate, there was a valley mouth, where Zhang Yuefeng, the duty Daoist, stood. He carried a brocade pouch and had some doubts in his mind. Yesterday's commotion at Cui Valley wasn't small! That scoundrel Zhang Hao actually started cultivating again. The heavenly spiritual energy gathered like a storm beside a deep pool near Cui Valley, but it was soon covered up by him with the Prohibition spell. This was an order given to him by Murong Xue!

  Zhang Yuefeng had personally witnessed his successful foundation-building.

  "This junior sister and junior brother have grown up under my own eyes, but now the situation is quite strange! Just now, junior sister meant to say that I should pretend not to recognize Zhang Hao, but he is the old master's appointed successor! I am the eldest senior brother, but junior sister has the teaching token in her hand. Although the late master made me the only elder of the Red Dust Sword Sect before his death, it means that I shouldn't covet the position of sect leader. Zhang Yuefeng himself also understands that he is not suitable for this role, so he is actually at peace and doesn't have any resentment. But now, these two people, one junior sister and one junior brother, are helping whom is not good."

  Hesitated at the entrance of Wu Ya Valley, walked back and forth for a while, and found that this errand was not easy to handle. "If I were to lose Zhang Hao's face now, if he became the leader in the future, it would be difficult to get along with him. This guy's temperament is indeed vengeful."

  Just as they were in a difficult situation, a beautiful figure appeared at the mouth of the valley shrouded in clouds and mist. It was Xiaozi.

  Zhang Yuefeng was like a mud Bodhisattva falling into the water at this moment, and he met Da Ge Bi Tan, rushing over quickly.

  "Little sister, are you going to see Zhang Shidi?"
