Chapter 136 Late Stage of Foundation Building

In the blink of an eye, another five years passed.

Late at night, when the clouds were turning and the rain was turning, Li An took out a pill and swallowed it!

This was a liquid-surge pill, which could assist cultivators to advance from the middle stage of foundation building to the late stage of foundation building.

Even though Li An used his position to get it, he still spent more than four thousand spirit stones.

After taking the pill, the Yin-Yang magic power went wild. When Xu Qiuhui cried out in pain, Li An finally broke through the barrier and tried to explore a new secret realm...

...

For a month, Li An and Xu Qiuhui stayed indoors.

Even the servants in the mansion did not dare to disturb them.

A month later, Li An finally opened the door and walked out.

Late stage of foundation building, success!

Two hundred and five years old, late stage of foundation building.

If it were an ordinary person, this would have reached the ceiling of this life, and it would be impossible to look forward to forming a pill again in this life.

But Li An still has at least a hundred years to slowly endure.

Enough!

"Get some water and help Miss Xu wash up. Also, keep some spiritual birds for her to nourish her." Li An gave some instructions and then went into the study room. He carefully checked his current condition. The life seed grew more and more vigorously. Above the first branch, a bulge was full of green, as if the second branch could grow out at any time... His spiritual root was also nourished by the life seed, and the sensitivity finally increased to 125 points! Now, his spiritual root level is as high as the upper grade of the yellow level. It is almost the same as in his previous life. The Dantian pool has doubled in size compared to the middle stage of foundation building. His Dantian pool is larger than that of ordinary people, and the spiritual liquid in the pool is purer than that of ordinary people. So in terms of spiritual power alone, a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building will only be killed instantly when facing Li An! The vigor, purity, and recovery ability of his spiritual power are not comparable to those of ordinary cultivators in the late stage of foundation building. This realm is already a "major cultivation" for low-level cultivators. "The range of spiritual consciousness reaches twenty miles..." This is very amazing. Generally, cultivators in the late stage of foundation building, even those who are strong in spiritual consciousness, will not exceed ten miles. Li An is twice as strong as ordinary late stage foundation building cultivators. Moreover, he can still grow slowly in the late stage of foundation building. "Spiritual consciousness and spiritual power should be enough to support me to refine third-level runes and third-level formations..." This is one of the biggest benefits brought by the advancement of cultivation. Generally speaking, only masters in the Jindan stage can refine third-level things. But Li An's spiritual power and spiritual consciousness are obviously special cases. Then, he stared at the demonic energy in the dantian again. After so many years, he has refined three-fifths of it. Only two-fifths are left. Entering the late stage of foundation building, the life seed power is stronger, and the refining speed will be faster... "Three Yuan Slash..." He suddenly raised his hand, used his hand as a knife, and slashed it fiercely. The air exploded, the sound of the sonic boom was extremely piercing, and wherever the force of the slash reached, the air became a vacuum!

"I can break a second-level defensive magic weapon with my bare hands!"

Li An was very satisfied.

This is the first move of the Three Yuan Slash, slashing the Yuan body!

It has been a small success.

Then, he picked up a piece of second-level black iron on the table.

The kidney exerted force and gently squeezed it.

The black iron was directly deformed!

The Jinzang Jue, the kidney has been broken in half.

"If the five internal organs of the Jinzang Jue are perfect, maybe I can tear apart a Jindan cultivator with my bare hands..."

He couldn't help but imagine the future.

But it's too far away.

It requires a huge amount of resources to accumulate!

Although the Treasure Pavilion is already the largest auction house in the northern border and has abundant resources, it is still not enough for practicing something like the Jinzang Jue.

If you want to perfect the five internal organs, you may need to support it with an entire empire.

This is the cruelty of cultivation. The higher you go, the better the skills you get, the more resources you need to accumulate. For a powerless cultivator, even if you are a genius in this life, you can only be buried in the countryside and turn into dust after a few years.

In addition, his five-color flower explosion technique and the seventy-two steps of the earthly evil have already been perfected.

With Li An's current strength, he can walk sideways below the Jindan stage.

At the same time, he also looked at the formations and talismans in his hand.

Back then, he spent all his family's wealth on refining the ice sword and the black poison sword. After more than ten years, he has not recovered much vitality. Currently, he only has more than 40 second-level talismans and three sets of second-level formations.

It is enough to deal with second-level cultivators, but it is far from enough for Jindan.

"Start making third-level spiritual talismans tonight..."

Li An took out a worn-out old talisman pen and a small stack of talisman paper.

The hair of the talisman pen is almost gone. It has obviously been used many times and is close to being scrapped.

Those talisman papers were emitting brilliant light, each of which was radiant and colorful, like a golden book or jade.

The talisman pen was a third-level talisman pen, the only one Li An had found over the years. According to his estimation, it could be used no more than forty times.

There were a total of twenty-seven pieces of talisman paper, which he had collected various resources to make by himself since arriving in Baihu City.

Third-level talisman paper was basically not sold on the market, so he had to find resources and make it himself.

He couldn't help but worry. Twenty-seven pieces of talisman paper, plus the success rate...how many could he make?

As for the third-level formation, he still had no clue.

Materials for formations and prohibitions were even rarer, and he hadn't found any in all these years.

According to his understanding, even the third-level formations of cities such as the Divine Sword Sect, the Hundred Beasts Sect, and Baihu City were purchased from the Central Plains.

He had no chance to make it in the Northern Frontier.

...

The next night.

Li An carefully picked up the old talisman pen, prepared special spiritual ink, and began to make talismans.

In his previous life, the highest talisman he had ever made was the third level.

Carefully, stroke by stroke...

His goal was the third-level "scattering spirit talisman".

The effect of this talisman is that it can affect the materialized spiritual power of the Jindan cultivator and make it virtual.

It should be noted that the most fundamental change of the Jindan cultivator compared to the foundation building is that the spiritual power is materialized!

At this point, with a casual wave of the hand, the spiritual power will be condensed, and it will have the power to destroy mountains and cities. The spiritual power is like a magic weapon and sword everywhere, and it can even carry the cultivator to fly in the air.

And the scattered spirit talisman can weaken some attacks of the Jindan cultivator when fighting against the enemy.

But it is limited to one or two hits.

This is also the third-level spiritual talisman that Li An can refine with the highest probability at present.

"Bang——"

With a slight sound, the spiritual ink spontaneously ignited, and the first spiritual talisman was destroyed.

...

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

Li An's cultivation has finally stabilized completely.

Because the talisman pen was destroyed and the talisman paper was exhausted, his attempt at the third-level talisman had to be terminated. After spending a sky-high price of spiritual stones, the only result was a "low-quality third-level" scattered talisman.

It only has half the effect of a normal scattered talisman.

Li An had no choice but to continue making second-level talismans.

"Pavilion Master, there is a letter from the main pavilion. It is a letter from the new pavilion master--"

That day, in the Treasure Pavilion, the general manager delivered a letter.

Li An opened the envelope, read it, and couldn't help but feel dazed:

The old pavilion master Qin Xuan, who fell out of favor a few years ago, was finally abolished by the palace this year. The new pavilion master Su Xiuwan used thundering means to wipe out all Qin Xuan's foundation in the pavilion.

The current chief treasure appraiser Guo Ling was even abolished.

Su Xiuwan's letter was to invite Li An to return to the main pavilion and serve as the chief treasure appraiser.
