I landed in the prehistoric world in the world of cultivation

Chapter 106 Middle Stage of Foundation Building
Next, as the seniors reported one by one, Su Ze also figured out what they had been doing over the years and what he would do in the future.

To put it simply, the Qingping Market and Qingping Villa where several third- and fourth-year brothers and sisters are currently stationed are one of Master Song Wan's industries in this world, and they bring a certain amount of income and some special resources to Master every year.

The annual income of the market is 6 top-grade spirit stones.

Beppu’s annual income is 3 top-grade spirit stones and 400 Yunmeng spirit beads.

But this is not all the Master has. After all, he is a True Lord of the Nascent Soul, how could he have only so little property?

It's just that other industries are too high-end, and they are temporarily not qualified to participate. The two fourth-year brothers Ji Jinglun and Dai Yucheng are now in the late stage of foundation building. This level of cultivation is enough to preside over the market town and the villa, but they cannot participate in higher interests because those are presided over by some former seniors who have graduated and have reached the golden elixir level.

After graduating from college for four years, you can choose to stay in school, which is also a way out.

For first-year students like Su Ze, their first year is free.

You can choose to do nothing and just concentrate on your practice.

You can also choose to take on some tasks from your instructor to earn some credits and spirit stones. This is suitable for students who have no support and come from an ordinary background.

Logically speaking, Su Ze was of an ordinary family, so the financial support from his family would not be much. Unless he showed great potential to advance to the Nascent Soul stage in the next ten years, the family would increase the investment.

Su Ze’s current plan is to concentrate on his training first and worry about future matters later.

In the following days, Su Ze entered the academy state and practiced in a low-key manner every day.

However, considering that the mysterious spiritual light used for landing can only be condensed once a month, and the instructor has to gather three freshmen every month to test their progress in cultivation, it is impossible to retreat for more than a month at a time, which means that the mysterious spiritual light cannot be saved.

In addition, there are only 4 spiritual lights left, which will be gone if I do anything. I can only enter the prehistoric world for a month and stay in reality for a month to accumulate ten spiritual lights first.

But it’s also good this way. I can spend half of my time in the main world, which gives me more time to build good relationships with my fellow brothers and sisters.

After a while, he basically knew everything about Professor Song Wan and the other eight disciples except himself.

Song Qingyang and Wu Yan, who were of the same generation as him, were indeed from Ziyun Immortal Palace and were both second-generation.

Among them, Song Qingyang is a relative of tutor Song Wan and counselor Song Jia. They all come from a large family in Ziyun Fairy Palace.

Wu Yan is also like this, but she is very tight-lipped and no one has been able to find out her true background.

But seeing that Song Qingyang was quite respectful to her, he must have a good background.

The two of them are from the upper sect and are young. They usually behave with a bit of arrogance and have a sense of superiority. They are not very close to Su Ze, a special recruit from outside the sect.

Su Ze felt that they paid attention to him because they were from the same sect. If they were not from the same sect, they probably would not pay any attention to him at all.

In this situation, Su Ze certainly would not approach with a shameless face. He also kept his distance and only interacted with people from the same school.

On the contrary, several other senior brothers were quite close to him. Most of them also came from the upper sect, but they had probably been beaten by reality and did not have that kind of arrogance towards people outside the sect.

Except for the beautiful second sister Wei Xiyu in the third grade, she is a bit cold and not very sociable.

As he continued to learn more, Su Ze realized that several of his senior brothers had indeed been beaten by society.

Logically speaking, Su Ze should have eleven senior brothers and sisters, but now there are only eight left, and the other three brothers have died during their training.

Having seen life and death, there is always growth.

The three who fell were the third in the fourth grade, and the eldest and third in the third grade.

There are four grades. The first and second grades focus on cultivation. Students usually stay in the school to cultivate. Even if they accept tasks to earn money, they are mostly refining or collecting tasks. They are not far from the school and the difficulty is not too high.

But when the third grade starts, there will be various mandatory tasks away from the campus.

For example, in a garrison mission, you need to garrison a place and maintain security, such as a town or Beppu.

Killing missions, wanted indigenous monks, demonic cultivators, etc.

Or go to dangerous places to hunt monsters, etc.

Half of the six brothers in grades three and four have died.

There is no smooth sailing on the road of cultivation. The risks that one may face in conquering foreign lands are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Colleges and universities are not middle schools, and a comfortable environment cannot cultivate true elites.

So any university has a mortality indicator, and it is not low.

It is worth mentioning that the school will never issue missions that will result in death. All missions will indicate the difficulty and risk.

Most of these students who died midway had high self-esteem and looked down upon the natives.

The basics of ordinary indigenous foundation-building cultivators are average, and most of them practice ordinary Qi-refining techniques. The spiritual weapons in their hands are messy and of low quality, and the various secret techniques are mixed. Most of them have never heard of such a thing as supernatural powers.

The elites in higher education institutions have a solid foundation. At the very least, they have mastered the exquisite-level Qi-refining techniques. They often have top-grade or even super-grade spiritual weapons, as well as talismans, a large number of fine talismans and elixirs, and all kinds of magical powers and secret techniques.

Those who are in the early stage of foundation building can easily challenge indigenous cultivators in the middle and late stages of foundation building. I just want to ask you, will you look down on them?
People are selfish. No matter how much others advise them, they will not listen. They will not wake up until they are deceived themselves.

The fight is a matter of life and death. When you find yourself being tricked into a trap and unable to fight back, it is often too late.

Time passes slowly, and before we know it, a year has passed.

This year Su Ze kept a low profile and stayed in the sect to practice.

The assessment held every six months went smoothly. He logged into the prehistoric world three times in half a year, and officially started learning the Nine Yang Burning Heaven Manual. All his magic power was converted into liquid magic power of fire attribute, which greatly increased the power of various fire spells he cast.

The nine top-grade fire spirit stones have been refined and have now been turned into spiritual weapons, their levels equal to his cultivation level.

The cultivation level in the initial stage of foundation building is equivalent to a low-grade spiritual weapon, and the cultivation level in the late stage of foundation building is equivalent to a high-grade spiritual weapon.

If it forms a pill in the future, it will automatically be promoted to a third-level magic weapon.

However, considering that this treasure is related to his own cultivation, Su Ze never thought of using this treasure to fight the enemy.

In addition, the Dragon Demon had cultivated to the fifth of the Nine Transformations, and this speed of progress earned Song Wan rare praise.

In the second half of the year, the fourth landing.

Honghuang, landing point number two.

A tall figure stood in the open space in front of the bamboo house. The breeze blew through the bamboo forest, making a rustling sound, and also made the burning blood flames sway in the wind.

It has a dragon head and a human body, with dragon horns on its head. Under the almost translucent blood flame are dark golden dragon scales, which are engraved with extremely fine runes.

"Nine Transformations of Dragon Demon!"

The eyelids lifted, revealing amber-like ryukin pupils.

He possesses the blood of a fourth-level true dragon. When he completed the ninth transformation of the Dragon Demon's Nine Transformations, his blood was linked with that of the true dragon, allowing him to complete the manifestation of his ancestral bloodline ahead of schedule and forge a half-dragon body.

In other words, what he manifested at this time was his true form manifested by his bloodline, and also his true form of the Nine Transformations of the Dragon Demon.

The minor magical power of the Dragon Demon Nine Transformations has been cultivated to its limit and cannot be improved any further.

After nine transformations, the Dragon Demon's true body alone possesses the physical strength and flesh power that is not inferior to that of a cultivator who has achieved perfect physical fitness after establishing the foundation.

Combined with the power of his bloodline and his body that had almost turned into gold and jade, Su Ze's physical strength now exceeded that of an average cultivator who had completed the foundation-building stage.

In addition, his cultivation level also improved to the middle stage of foundation building.

Even though he worked hard for three days and rested for two days without making any effort, the mana accumulated from daily life had unknowingly accumulated to more than 40 points of liquid mana, and he had broken through to the middle stage of foundation building.

With a thought, the huge dragon demon's true body quickly shrank into the form of an ordinary human.

Su Ze looked up with a smile on his face, his pupils still showing a hint of true dragon characteristics.

The figure became ethereal and slowly disappeared. "Crack!"

The door of the secret room opened and Su Ze walked out.

Soon Su Yuting and Su Ke came back. Su Ze lay on the sofa and enjoyed Su Yuting's service while listening to Su Ke's routine introduction.

Not long after he finished listening to the information and eating his food, he wiped his mouth and his eyes fell on the two people.

After a year, after refining six drops of thousand-year-old stone milk, both of them have reached the perfection of Qi Refining and are ready to build the foundation at any time.

Su Ze took out two Foundation Establishment Pills from the storage space and placed them on the table. The two men were obviously excited, but Su Ze waved his hand and took the two Foundation Establishment Pills away. The two men were slightly stunned.

"I have more than a dozen foundation-building pills, so you won't be short of them."

Su Ze took the foundation-building pill away, raised his hand and grabbed Su Yuting's arm beside him and kneaded it back and forth, causing the girl's pretty face to twist slightly in pain.

He shook his head and said:

"With your current physique, the success rate of building a foundation is less than 10%."

"You're almost there, Zuko."

He snorted coldly and asked:

"Do you have any special body-refining techniques?"

"Do you think that taking some pills to strengthen your body is enough? Far from it."

He stretched out his hand and opened the internal network. After a few operations on it, he spent 30 credits to exchange for two Taixu Shenlian method jade slips, two Longxiang Gong jade slips, and two Qianjun Yuanlian methods.

After completing the operation, he closed the panel and looked up and said:
"I have exchanged one Dragon Elephant Skill, one Taixu Spirit Refining Skill, and one Qianjun Yuan Refining Skill for each of you. They can improve the purity of your mental and magical powers, as well as the strength of your physical bodies."

"I will give you one year to practice these three techniques, and then you can prepare to build your foundation after one year."

"I don't need you to break through the realm quickly, and I don't need you to be cannon fodder. First, lay a good foundation and practice well. I hope that both of you can successfully build a foundation and even condense a golden elixir in the future."

As he stated his purpose, both of them showed touched expressions on their faces.

Zu Ke knelt down and said:

"My Lord, your kindness is so great that I will never forget it. I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation!"

Su Yuting was not as passionate, but from her eyes one could tell that she was equally excited.

Su Ze stood up to accept his oath, then took out the foundation-building pill again and handed it to them, saying:

"Keep it for yourself. Although you don't need to rush to build your foundation, no one knows which will come first, tomorrow or an accident. If an accident occurs one day and you need to break through your realm to deal with it, don't hesitate."

Zu Ke took the foundation-building pill and nodded vigorously.

After pacifying his two followers, Su Ze went out to Tianqing Tower.

At the door, he saw the senior brother Ji Jinglun from the fourth grade. He saw Su Ze from a distance and waved, looking him up and down, and said with a smile:

"Junior brother's aura has become much stronger, which means his strength has greatly improved."

“There is some progress.”

As the two walked, Ji Jinglun said:
"Junior brother, you have been practicing all year this year. Will you still stay in school and practice hard next year?"

Su Ze shook his head and said:
"No, I will try to take on some tasks and earn some credits next year."

Ji Jinglun immediately said:
"If that's the case, Senior Brother, I have a mission here. Qingpingfang City is short of a manager. Are you interested in coming over to help?"

"Qingpingfang City needs a manager?"

"Yes, some time ago, there was a fight between two demon kings in Yunmeng Lake, and the aftermath affected the market. Two market managers who were out to purchase supplies did not have time to withdraw to the market formation and disappeared. Now they have not returned and are estimated to have died outside."

"Demon King?"

"A Nascent Soul demon?"

"Yes."

Su Ze suddenly gave a slap and waved his hands repeatedly:
"That's too dangerous. I won't go."

Ji Jinglun waved his hands quickly and said:

"Don't get me wrong, this is an unexpected situation. Our principal signed a contract with the demon kings of Yunmeng Lake a thousand years ago, prohibiting them from attacking our students. Our principal is a divine master, and as long as you don't take the initiative to attack, the demon kings and their demon generals will never attack us."

Su Ze remained silent and did not say no, but his expression clearly showed his unwillingness.

Seeing that he was so stubborn, Ji Jinglun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he waved his hands helplessly and said:
"Okay, since you are not interested, forget it. I will go to the regular class to recruit two."

Seeing this, Su Ze breathed a sigh of relief and explained briefly:
"Brother, please don't blame me. It's mainly because I don't know the situation outside and I don't dare to go out rashly."

Ji Jinglun smiled and waved his hand:
"I understand. Being careful is a good virtue."

"But you are too cautious. This Qingping Market is Master's property. There will be no danger. Moreover, if you go there to help, in addition to the 100 credits reward every year, you can also get about 100 high-quality spirit stones."

"Let's talk about it after we meet the master."

"Row."

The two of them arrived together and entered the hall. The master had not come yet. Several senior brothers who had arrived earlier were sitting on cushions and chatting. When they saw them, they greeted each other.

After one year of study, I am already very familiar with it.

Su Ze picked up a cushion and sat down, listening to the information exchanged among several senior brothers.

He has been staying in school to practice this year, so there is not much to say. Several senior brothers have been mostly out this year, so there is room for communication.

After they chatted for a while, the second-year leader Duan Zhengrong suddenly said:
"I went to Mangcang Mountain to garrison for a while in the second half of the year. I heard from one of my brothers that Director Zhang of Qingming Academy mentioned the matter of the Mangcang Mountain Development Campaign to the dean. During this period, the number of reconnaissance missions on the Mangcang Mountain Range at the front-line base suddenly increased by more than ten times, and a mission was issued to scout the nests of several Nascent Soul Demon Kings deep in the Mangcang Mountain Range."

He lowered his voice and said:

"I'm wondering if the dean will restart the war to develop the Mangcang Mountains?"

Everyone's expressions immediately became solemn, and Ji Jinglun nodded and said:
"The sudden increase of ten times in reconnaissance missions is indeed suspicious, but it does not prove that there is a possibility of launching a pioneering war, unless the price of war materials changes drastically. By the way, have you paid attention to the prices of elixirs and talismans?"

"No."

"I do not have either."

Su Ze spread his hands and said:
"I have been practicing at home this year and have not paid attention to these things."

"But I can ask my followers to investigate."

"Yeah, check it out."

Su Ze nodded, and immediately sent a message to Su Ke via Feixun, asking him to adjust the price fluctuations of various war materials on the school market.

Next, their topic turned directly to the pioneering war. Su Ze listened to their chat and gradually understood what the pioneering war was.

The so-called pioneering war, as the name suggests, is to expand the map and add new territories.

The Mangcang Mountains Development War is aimed at developing territory within the Mangcang Mountains.

The Mangcang Mountains are a huge mountain range that stretches for millions of kilometers. It is located at the southernmost part of the sect represented by the school. It is rich in resources but is inhabited by monsters and beasts.
