Chapter 9: That Bit

"By the way, how old was Senior Brother Gu when he built his foundation? And how long does it normally take a Three Spirit Root like me to build a foundation?" Anyway, the topic was already here, so Jiang Chen took the opportunity to ask.

Who has neither a master nor a family background or anything like that?

Qi Nian froze for a moment and didn't seem to have thought about this question, he just said ambiguously, "Senior Brother Gu, it seems to take about seven or eight years of cultivation to build the foundation, and then again, since some students build the foundation naturally and some students use the Foundation Building Dan to build the foundation, there is no limit to the time.

I had forgotten that there was such a thing as Foundation Building Dan, it seems that I need to go back and look for information to see what the difference is between natural foundation building and using Foundation Building Dan to build a foundation.

Since Gu Qing had already completed her task in the Contribution Hall, she had more free time, so of course she didn't need Jiang Chen's help to look after the Elixir Garden.

Jiang Chen had ten contribution points and went to the Contribution Hall to exchange things in a hurry.

Looking at the wide variety of things in the booklet, they all started at twenty or thirty contribution points, and they were all of the lower yellow rank, and the higher the rank, the higher the price.

Ten contribution points could only buy two bottles of the cheapest grain prevention pills, or two bags of spirit medicine seeds, or a lower yellow-ranked spell, or ten pieces of lower-ranked spirit stones, but they were all things that Jiang Chen could no longer look at at the moment.

Jiang Chen came in a flurry of excitement and ended up leaving with his head hanging down.

"System ah, do you think this sect is too black-hearted, a month of hard work is only two bottles of Valley Resisting Dan, this cheap labour is also too cheap"

System: ...

Returning to the small courtyard, Jiang Chen resumed the cultivation path, there were still two bottles of grain-expelling pills left, so he could concentrate on cultivation for another two months.

Then he added two small spells, both of which contained Red Gold Wood.

One was the Cleansing Spell, which was convenient to use in everyday life, saving time to cultivate more.

The other was the Fireball Spell, which was an attack spell, a little more means to protect oneself.

In these two months, Jiang Chen, who had been burying his head in the sand and cultivating hard, if it wasn't for the fact that he still had to enroll, Jiang Chen couldn't wait to not go out every day. Every day, he would just take care of the spiritual medicine field.

Then he would practise his spells, and when his spiritual qi ran out, he would meditate and cultivate, and the cycle of days would go on and on.

To learn about the outside world, Jiang Chen would go to the mess hall every ten days or so. It was also to enjoy the delicacies, so that life would be tasty and something to look forward to.

At this end, the Tianji Pavilion, which was one hundred thousand eighty thousand miles away from the Danding Sect.

A white-haired old man who looked like a mortal suddenly opened his eyes.

The disciple standing guard on the side hurriedly asked.

"Pavilion Master, is something wrong?"

The old man shook his head, "It seems that another great power is pouting in our human realm.

"Pavilion Master, do we need to inform them? It is rumoured that he is about to leave the gate."

The old man still shook his head, "Everything is as it should be."

...

"Whew, I always feel like I'm going to break through to the third level of Qi Refining, but I'm still a bit short, it should be in these few days," Jiang Chen muttered and prepared to go to the canteen, and by the way, he went to the Dan room to have a look, after all, he had finished eating his Gokudan.

In the past, everyone would eat quietly in the canteen, but today, the canteen was unusually lively, everyone seemed to be discussing something.

Jiang Chen was not moved in the least, his first reaction was still to rush to the window and attack the meals first.

Even though he knew that all the meals in the Immortal Cultivation World had formations to keep them warm, Jiang Chen still felt that the meal he typed first would be a little hotter and smell better.

After beating the rice, Jiang Chen looked around, his eyes fixed on one of the groups with the most heated discussions, then he sat down on the empty seat next to them, his ears pricked up and listened intently, his hands still picking at the rice.

"Have you heard, that person's 100 year period is up, he's going to come out soon, I wonder if there will be many people to challenge him this time?"

"Hey, that person is just the model for my generation to follow, ah, so many years, repeatedly winning ah"

"I don't know how many more centuries he can have, maybe he'll ascend in the next hundred years, do you know what level that person's cultivation has reached?"

"It is said that he is only half a step away from Ascension."

"Really, the path to immortality is right in front of us, unlike us who are still wandering in the lower dimensions?"

"In that case, this might be the last chance to try, so I want to go and see."

"I want to go too, it's just that you and I have low levels of cultivation and low status, so of course we can't go to the place to watch, and we can only buy the Shadow Retention Stone to watch when the time comes"

...

Jiang Chen listened in confusion, but his mouth couldn't rest, a large plate of rice had already dried up.

Although the news is not much, also know that this news has nothing to do with such a small person like himself, the great power of the transition stage ah, if years to get to this step.

After eating, Jiang Chen went to the door of the Dan Room to hang around again.

For the next five or six days, every day at the door of the Dan Room, you could see a second-level qi refining disciple, every time he came, he didn't do anything, he just looked at it in fascination and left.

The immortal world, everyone is busy cultivating, grabbing resources, there is no conflict of interest, others are not even willing to look at you.

After Jiang Chen had saved enough grain prevention pills for half a year, he began to cultivate behind closed doors in order to break through to the third level of qi cultivation.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.

Jiang Chen also finished his seven days of bitter cultivation, not only did he break through to the third level of qi cultivation, he also took the opportunity to stabilise his cultivation.

During these seven days, he had been busy breaking through and indulging in cultivation, and in the middle of the two days, he didn't have time to apply Spiritual Rain to the elixir fields, so naturally, this signing activity would be put on hold for the time being.

After moving his arms and legs, Jiang Chen's body was much cleaner after a cleansing technique.

Immediately, he went to the elixir field, to the Spiritual Rain elixir, originally, he already had a little bit of the elixir, in the Spiritual Rain irrigation, each of them lifted their chests, full of power.

After Jiang Chen finished pouring the spiritual rain onto the elixir field, he felt a vibration in his waist.

When he looked down, it was a message from Gu Qing, saying that he was going on a trip and asking Jiang Chen to go to his courtyard.

At the top of Spiritual Qi Abundant Mountain, amidst the lush green forest, there was a simple courtyard.

Jiang Chen knocked on the door, and when the door to the room opened.

He saw the high and mighty Gu Qing rubbing mahjong tiles in the courtyard.
