Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

Chapter 108 The Path to Foundation Building (2)

In fact, people would only think there was something wrong with Zhang Yan if he wanted to leave seclusion.

After all, Zhang Yan's combat strength upon emerging from seclusion was equivalent to that of a Qi Refining stage cultivator.

What's the use of a hammer?

In the pioneering war, what is most needed is the combat power of the Foundation Establishment stage and the combat power of the Golden Core stage.

As for cultivators in the Qi Refining stage, they could only serve as cannon fodder and do some simple tasks during the pioneering war.

……

now.

Zhang Yanjing, who was in the cultivation room, had already begun cultivating metal-type magic.

The cultivation of metal-based magic is now much faster than the cultivation of fire-based magic.

It can be said that his cultivation speed is getting faster and faster.

Towards the end, it even became abnormally fast.

But this is a good thing for Zhang Yan.

The faster he cultivates, the more time he has to make the remaining preparations.

Finally, in less than a year, he cultivated his water-based magic to the perfect twelfth level of Qi Refining.

At this point, it had been almost ten years since he went into seclusion.

His magical power had reached its peak.

At this point, theoretically speaking, Zhang Yan could have already attempted to establish his foundation.

However, he did not immediately begin the foundation-building process.

The main reason is that foundation building is extremely dangerous. If it fails, not only will all previous efforts be wasted, but it may even cost you your life.

This is the reason for the failure.

This is because Foundation Establishment allows cultivators to communicate with the power of heaven and earth.

Let the Daoist principles flow into your body.

If you are not careful, you will lose everything.

Generally speaking, ordinary cultivators will choose to take Foundation Establishment Pills to increase their success rate.

The Foundation Establishment Pill will take on a portion of the power of heaven and earth in place of the cultivator.

Zhang Yan had thought about this long ago.

Foundation Building Pills are not needed.

He is a foundational cultivator in magic, and the most important thing for him is the infusion of the power of heaven and earth.

And the understanding of the Dao.

If he uses the Foundation Establishment Pill, he will have no need to undergo spell foundation establishment at all.

Therefore, after thinking about this, I decided not to use the Foundation Establishment Pill and to proceed directly to Foundation Establishment.

"However, before that, we need to cultivate all the Yuan techniques to perfection."

Before reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, Zhang Yan decided to cultivate all his Yuan techniques to perfection, so as to be worthy of his hard work over such a long period of time.

The cultivation of Yuan techniques did not take too long.

It only lasted less than a year.

Zhang Yan had already mastered all the Yuan techniques to perfection.

"This is my peak performance."

"The next step is to convert all the magic power into Hunyuan Qi."

Zhang Yan began to mix the five types of magical power, and then generated true primordial energy.

This is not a simple process.

In the Taiyi Yantian Record, many people died from their bodies exploding because they couldn't control the magical power in their bodies when they tried to cultivate Hunyuan Qi.

In response to this situation, the Taiyi Sect has specially developed elixirs.

Zhang Yan could not entrust the refining of this kind of elixir to others; he could only refine it himself.

However, the Taiyi Sect is a sect that has existed for a very long time.

Therefore, many of the medicinal materials in this prescription are very rare, and some have even been renamed.

Zhang Yan spent a long time trying to gather the complete set of medicinal herbs, but he still couldn't.

Finally, we're missing one ingredient: red salvia miltiorrhiza.

It's quite infuriating to think about.

In the past, red salvia miltiorrhiza was not considered a rare medicinal herb.

However, someone later adjusted the formula for the Foundation Building Pill.

I put the red salvia miltiorrhiza in.

The effects were surprisingly good, which led to a shortage of red salvia miltiorrhiza, and it was once extinct.

Later on, there was too little red ginseng.

The Foundation Building Pill was replaced with other medicinal herbs.

Zhang Yan felt somewhat helpless.

The path to foundation building is truly arduous. He had to find red ginseng on his own.

Fortunately, he was, after all, a true disciple of the Qingheng Sect.

The war to reclaim wasteland is about to begin, but it hasn't really started yet.

Therefore, the sect can still spare some manpower to help him search.

Finally, news came that it was being sold in a market town in the state of Zhao.

Zhang Yan pondered this for a long time.

He did not go directly to the market town of Zhao, as that place was too far away from him.

Moreover, he hasn't reached the Foundation Establishment stage yet, so it would be too dangerous for him to go alone.

Therefore, he broke away from Musen.

"Leave this to me." After more than ten years, Mu Sen had hardly changed at all.

Ten years have passed.

For the foundation-building period, it is not considered long.

"Thank you very much, Senior Brother." Zhang Yan said to Mu Sen with a serious expression.

"You're welcome, it's nothing." Mu Sen nodded with a smile.

Zhang Yan is from Muling Peak.

Moreover, he was Zhang Yan's mentor.

He gained many benefits simply because of this identity.

Therefore, he did not give Zhang Yan any perfunctory treatment whatsoever.

……

As expected, Musen lived up to expectations!
He returned from the State of Zhao in less than a month.

They brought red salvia miltiorrhiza.

"Thank you, Senior Brother. I'll celebrate with you after I reach Foundation Establishment." Looking at the red ginseng in his hand, Zhang Yan took a deep breath; he needed this very thing.

"Of course." A smile appeared on Mu Sen's dull face, and then he looked at Zhang Yan: "There is something I don't know whether I should say, senior brother."

"Given our relationship, what is there that we can't say?"
"Please, senior brother, speak up."

Zhang Yan said to Mu Sen without any concern.

"The war of reclamation is about to begin."

"I think your seclusion could be extended a bit longer." Mu Sen's words were quite meaningful.

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Yan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"What are you laughing at?" Mu Sen asked, puzzled.

"I will definitely participate in this pioneering war."

"I, Zhang Yan, have not yet reached the point where I need to use seclusion to avoid war." Zhang Yan smiled as he returned to his cultivation room.

The next step was to refine the Hunyuan Pill.

The refining of this Hunyuan Pill is extremely difficult.

For this purpose, Zhang Yan even specially found several magical artifacts for alchemy furnaces.

Using other people's alchemy techniques, I tried several times.

Finally, the Hunyuan Pill was successfully refined.

"In this way, you can concentrate on cultivating Hunyuan Qi."

There are only six pills in this batch.

But that was enough for Zhang Yan.

He put a pill in his mouth and immediately began to try to mix the five types of magical power in his body.

The five magical attributes are different and are mixed in a certain structural proportion.

This is not an easy task.

On his very first attempt, Zhang Yan sustained a wound from the impact.

However, as the effects of the Hunyuan Pill took hold, the wound healed instantly.

The power of the elixir also made the five magical powers more moderate.

Even so, it took Zhang Yan a lot of effort to get them to completely obey and integrate.

It took two whole months.

It took him two months to finally cultivate the first level of Hunyuan Qi.

"It's finally done!"

Zhang Yan looked at the wisp of primordial energy within his body and couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright, continue!" With the success of the first wisp of primordial energy, the subsequent wisps of primordial energy followed naturally.

With almost no effort, Zhang Yan converted all his magical power into Hunyuan Qi.

"That's about it." Feeling the abundant magical power within his body, Zhang Yan couldn't help but let out a long roar.

Foundation building begins today!
