I use my supernatural powers to prove my immortality

Chapter 218 Keys and Portals

Diling Peak.

Xue Jingliang, with snow-white hair, wrinkled face, and even extremely confused eyes, was bowing and paying homage to Zhong Lixiao who was sitting on the armchair.

"Thank you Master for your cultivation over the years. Jingliang has finally reached the threshold of building a foundation!"

When Xue Jingliang said this, his voice was even choked up.

The man did not shed tears, but he did not go to the sad place.

As the former Grand Marshal of the Chu State, Xue Jingliang had experienced many ups and downs in the first half of his life, but he never felt discouraged.

No matter what difficulties he encounters, Xue Jingliang believes that with his talent and perseverance, he can eventually overcome them.

but.

After embarking on the journey of cultivation, Xue Jingliang really suffered a lot along the way.

I finally understand what it means to "bully me because I am old and powerless."

Obviously, he is a genius with dual spiritual roots, but because of his age, every step he takes is extremely difficult.

The body is like a leaky sieve. Of every ten percent of water that enters the body, at least six or seven percent will leak out.

As age increases, the five signs of decline become more severe, and in the end, even if you absorb ten percent of the water, you may lose eight or nine percent.

If his master had not provided him with medicinal pills like candy beans over the years, he would have become discouraged and passed away with endless regrets.

To this day, Xue Jingliang's resentment towards the old immortals who once lined up to ferry him across the country, but ruthlessly turned him away when he went to find them again when he was old, has completely disappeared.

What else is there to resent?

What they said is correct!

He is really too old, and the probability of him achieving enlightenment is too low. No matter how many resources are invested in him, it is essentially a waste.

Now he understood these words too well!
Over the years, the resources that his master has invested in him can at least train three or four people to achieve great foundation building.

The more this is the case, the more it reflects the great kindness and virtue that the Master has shown to him!

Xue Jingliang himself was not afraid of failure in building the foundation. The only thing he was afraid of was that he would not be able to repay his master's great kindness.

Zhong Lixiao stood up, supported the elderly Xue Jingliang with both hands, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Jingliang, you have finally reached the threshold of building a foundation. Once you build a foundation, you will immediately be able to return to the mountains and fish in the sea."

Following Zhong Lixiao's words, the second disciple Ning Yunzhi and the third disciple Hu Xiaolu also congratulated in unison, "I wish that Senior Brother can establish his foundation as soon as possible, like a fish entering the sea and a tiger returning to the mountains."

Ten years have passed, and Ning Yunzhi and Hu Xiaolu have grown a lot.

Ning Yunzhi's appearance hasn't changed much, but she is more confident and gentle than before, and even her facial features have become much gentler.

Appearance is determined by the mind, and this is essentially a sign of a happy life.

Monks who really struggle in society, and even encounter obstacles at every turn, often develop a sour look because of this.

As for troubles, of course I do have them.

That's because junior sister Hu Xiaolu is too talented. She is surpassed by Hu Xiaolu in every way, and even has to wait for her everywhere.

If there is one regret, perhaps it is that to this day, Ning Yunzhi has still not been able to awaken her magical powers.

Zhong Lixiao could only try his best to comfort her.

As for Hu Xiaolu, ten years later, she has grown into a graceful young lady.

Perhaps it is because of the company of my master, fellow brothers and sisters, and my father, the fierce temper in my heart has been much lessened over the years.

However, from Hu Xiaolu's rapidly improving cultivation, it can be seen that Hu Xiaolu is still very uneasy in her heart.

She craves strength and the sense of security that strength brings!

In just twenty years, Hu Xiaolu had made the leap from an ordinary person to the twelfth level of Qi training.

As long as she wanted, she could build her foundation almost at any time, and she didn't even need a foundation-building pill.

And this was even when Hu Xiaolu took Second Senior Sister Ning Yunzhi's feelings into consideration, slightly suppressed her realm, and worked hard to consolidate her foundation.

I have to admit that talent is sometimes so unreasonable.

Seeing the sincere blessings from his second and third junior sisters, Xue Jingliang, who was somewhat old and blind, felt ashamed but also somewhat warm in his heart.

He is too old, and his former relatives, friends, comrades-in-arms, and even the political enemies who once made him hate him have now all turned to dust.

but.

With the company of his master and fellow apprentices, Xue Jingliang has lived a very fulfilling life over the years.

Xue Jingliang returned the gifts one by one, and finally made up his mind to go into seclusion.

Life is like chess, without regrets.

Xue Jingliang, who had just been helped up by Zhong Lixiao, knelt down again and kowtowed to Zhong Lixiao several times.

This time, Zhong Lixiao did not refuse. His core purpose was to hope that Xue Jingliang could have less psychological burden.

This moment in Xue Jingliang's life might be one of the most uneasy moments in his life.

He had heard that when people reach a certain age, they can even sense the coming of their death.

Xue Jingliang probably sensed something!

However, Zhong Lixiao also believed that once Xue Jingliang overcame this hurdle, he would be able to become the unbridled commander-in-chief of the world's army again.

After kowtowing several times, Xue Jingliang bowed deeply to Ning Yunzhi and Hu Xiaolu, and said with great sadness, "I am leaving now. If there is a future, please ask the two junior sisters to show filial piety on my behalf."

Ning Yunzhi and Hu Xiaolu quickly returned the gift.

Both of them are still young, but this time they felt the power of time in a very rare way.

If you cannot make rapid progress along the path of cultivation, no matter how much effort and hard work you put in, it may all turn to dust in the end.

Zhong Lixiao was also deeply touched by this.

More than 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye. I don’t know how Yuliangzhuang is doing. Maybe I should take some time to go back and take a look.

Zhong Lixiao looked at the elderly Xue Jingliang and said, "Do you remember the pill bottle I gave you ten years ago?"

Xue Jingliang was stunned.

The scenes from ten years ago suddenly came to my mind.

While other Qi-cultivating practitioners were still worrying about the Foundation-Building Pill, his master had already prepared it for him ten years ago.

However, his progress in cultivation was extremely slow. Ten years had passed before he had just reached the minimum threshold for foundation building.

Seeing that Xue Jingliang had remembered, Zhong Lixiao smiled and said, "It's good that you remembered. Go and retreat. You will definitely succeed!"

Xue Jingliang was stunned, not knowing where his master's confidence in his foundation building came from. But seeing his master so confident, the doubts in his heart dissipated a little.

"Yes."

Xue Jingliang chose to go into seclusion.

And Zhong Lixiao chose to help him protect the law outside the cave!

However, this scene made Zhong Lixiao sigh a little, and he even couldn't help but recall the scene when his ancestor helped him protect the law before he went into seclusion more than 20 years ago.

One has to admit that even from the perspective of a cultivator's time perspective, this orderly scene of master-disciple inheritance had some impact on his heart.

Afterwards, Zhong Lixiao found a stone bench outside the cave where Xue Jingliang was in seclusion and sat down, then took out a book and began to read it with relish.

What this book describes is the secret manual related to refining equipment.

In the past ten years, apart from becoming an alchemy maniac, Zhong Lixiao has spent most of his time studying the art of refining equipment.

Being in a big sect like Baiyun Temple, the thing that is most in demand is secret manuals like this.

In addition, Zhong Lixiao is a master of alchemy. Whenever he shows a little interest in refining equipment, naturally a large number of professionals will come to him.

Through research, communication, observation and hands-on practice, Zhong Lixiao has made great progress in the past ten years.

I am very confident in refining my own magic weapon.

While Zhong Lixiao was reading, Ning Yunzhi took out a teapot and boiled water on a small red clay stove to make tea in public.

Hu Xiaolu took out the pastries she had carefully made, and everyone was in a good mood for a while.

at the same time.

In the quiet room, Xue Jingliang first meditated for a while, and finally adjusted his mentality to a calm state.

Then, he used a secret method to open the pill bottle that his master had given him ten years ago.

Xue Jingliang was already very familiar with the restrictions on this pill bottle.

He had fantasized about opening the pill bottle more than once, but he had not yet reached that level of cultivation, so he had put it off until today.

Now he is finally qualified to open the foundation-building pill given to him by his master. If he fails, he will die!
As the spells were cast one after another, the restrictions on the pill bottle gradually disintegrated.

When he pulled out the cork and took a look, Xue Jingliang was stunned.

He was even a little bit incredulous for a moment, he put it to his ear and shook it, and after confirming that the sound was not caused by a foundation-building pill, Xue Jingliang had just adjusted his state of mind to a calm state of mind, but it was inevitable that he would be stirred up by storms again.

Even so, he still found it a little hard to believe.

Gulu!

Xue Jingliang couldn't help swallowing, and then poured out all the foundation-building pills in the pill bottle.

"One, two, three, four, ten!!!"

Xue Jingliang broke out in a sweat, his eyes widened as big as a cow, he could hardly believe his eyes.

Me. Fuck!
Even with Xue Jingliang's self-restraint, he couldn't help but swear. One can imagine how shocked he was at this moment.

Ten foundation-building pills, what does this mean?
You should know that in Wanbao Tower, just one foundation-building pill can make old cultivators, family cultivators, and golden elixir masters put aside all their airs, faces, and dignity and fight with each other until their faces turned red.

As for those independent cultivators, in order to gather enough materials for a furnace of Foundation Establishment Pills, they even spend most of their lives running back and forth for this matter.

But even so, not every casual cultivator would be lucky enough to gather them all.

What’s worse, most of the independent cultivators cannot gather together, so they even have to take huge risks and “group together” with other independent cultivators.

Even if you finally get all the information together, you still have to pay a huge price to find an alchemist.

Some evil-hearted alchemists would even take away 70% of the finished pill as soon as they opened their mouths.

As for his master, he had prepared ten foundation-building pills for him ten years ago.

According to the auction price of Wanbaolou, all of these might be enough to buy a magic weapon.

Xue Jingliang's eyes inevitably became moist again.

Master is not only a wise master throughout the ages, but also the best master in the world!

After Xue Jingliang adjusted his mindset, he immediately began to take foundation-building pills to build his foundation.

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.

Although he had prepared ten foundation-building pills for Xue Jingliang early on, he was still somewhat worried.

Although the foundation-building elixir is powerful, the human body's ability to withstand it is ultimately limited.

I don't know if Jingliang can take this most crucial step? !

But at this moment, Zhong Lixiao suddenly felt that the seed of magical power "King Wucheng" in his body was undergoing some kind of transformation again.

However, this transformation startled Zhong Lixiao, and he immediately began to look inward with his spiritual consciousness.

Afterwards, Zhong Lixiao discovered that the once majestic outer god Wu Chengwang was now shining even brighter.

It seemed that every part of the body was sublimating and transforming, giving birth to some unexpected Taoist rhyme.

Seeing this, Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

This kind of transformation would definitely not happen without reason. It is highly likely that his disciple Xue Jingliang succeeded in building his foundation, which successfully brought his magical powers to life.

After all, when a person is about to die, he will experience the five signs of decay, and even his supernatural powers will inevitably be affected.

If Xue Jingliang really regained his vitality at the moment of death, it would be like a rebirth in Nirvana for Shen Tong.

However, all this is just his guess.

Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but ask, "King Wucheng, why did you transform?"

Unlike Xue Jingliang, King Wucheng had already built his foundation a long time ago, and he started from the thirteenth level of Qi training, so his foundation was extremely solid.

King Wucheng felt the amazing transformation in his body and could not help but exclaimed in ecstasy, "It should be that the original body has successfully established its foundation, which is equivalent to the master and the original body completing a mutual achievement again. I feel like I have seen a door."

"Portal?"

Zhong Lixiao was very surprised.

King Wu Cheng said excitedly, "The feeling is becoming more and more obvious. It seems that there is a voice telling me that this is the door to the martial arts. If I open that door, I will be able to truly touch the great way of martial arts."

The great way of martial arts?

Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but be shocked.

What is martial arts?

In contrast to literature, any means that resort to the use of force can essentially be classified as martial arts.

The way of martial arts is even more ancient than the way of immortality.

The current upper limit is very low, and it has almost become a very small branch of the Immortal Path, or even simply the most basic brick and stone in the Immortal Path.

but.

Before he could say anything more, he seemed to see a door vaguely in his mind.

Moreover, there seemed to be wisps of energy seeping out of this portal.

Not only King Wucheng, even the martial arts spiritual roots that had already transformed into the gold element seemed to have shown some changes.

And during this process, a large number of Tao, Dharma, and principles vaguely emerged in Zhong Lixiao's mind.

Especially his understanding of martial arts and military formations has made great progress.

Zhong Lixiao was shocked.

It was the first time for him to know that his innate magical power "Bo Le's Eyes" could actually grow in this way.

To him, his eldest disciple Xue Jingliang is like a master key.

Time and time again, it helped him open the door to developing his innate magical powers.

From this perspective, if he could pick out a good horse again and again, and achieve mutual success with the good horse, wouldn't he be able to open one mysterious door after another?

At this point, Zhong Lixiao undoubtedly became much more enthusiastic about guiding other disciples to awaken and develop their supernatural powers.

Zhong Lixiao savored this hint of martial arts charm carefully, and then he felt a vague sense of familiarity.

After a little thought, it suddenly dawned on me.

Isn’t this the same charm that I sensed from him when I was watching Fang Fang doing boxing at Fuyunding ten years ago?

Zhong Lixiao seemed to understand something.

From this perspective, this little guy Fang Fangfang's magical powers are really special.

Could it be related to Hedao?

Seeing that the master seemed to have realized something, Ning Yunzhi and Hu Xiaolu behaved very well and quietly, not daring to disturb him at all.

Time flies, and another three days have passed.

Zhong Lixiao has been immersed in this martial arts rhythm. In his heart, various martial arts moves have been flowing quietly, which has brought him a lot of benefits.

Under the influence of the magical power "Heaven and Earth Bridge", even his magic skills had a bit of this martial style.

The harvest was really huge. The more Zhong Lixiao looked at his eldest disciple Xue Jingliang, the more he liked him!

However, the martial arts charm ended there and began to slowly fade away.

Zhong Lixiao understood that this must be the time when Xue Jingliang completely completed the foundation building and even consolidated it, and this transformation also ended here.

With a creaking sound, Xue Jingliang, who had completed the foundation building, walked out of the quiet room.

Unlike the old and frail appearance when he went in, Xue Jingliang had regained his youth when he walked out again.

Now he looks like a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties.

Not only did his old age disappear, but even the decrepit air in his body was swept away.

The whole person has regained his former heroic appearance and domineering nature, as if a rare talent among men has been reborn from the ashes.

Ning Yunzhi and Hu Xiaolu's eyes lit up at the same time. Is this the foundation building?

This is really stealing life from heaven!

"Congratulations, Senior Brother. Congratulations, Senior Brother." x2
Xue Jingliang was speechless at first, and didn't even know how to respond to his two junior sisters.

Ten Foundation Building Pills! Those are ten Foundation Building Pills. If other cultivators knew that he consumed so many Foundation Building Pills in building his foundation, they would probably be envious to death.

However, I have to admit that Master's calculations were indeed accurate.

He was too old, and the medicinal power of one foundation-building pill was almost lost. He had to stack ten of them together to offset the lost medicinal power and successfully lift him into the foundation-building stage.

Even so, Xue Jingliang could not hide his joy. He returned the gifts one by one. Compared with before, he was much more relaxed and carefree, as if a huge stone had been lifted from his heart.

Xue Jingliang walked up to Zhong Lixiao and was about to kneel down and kowtow again, but this time Zhong Lixiao stopped him.

Zhong Lixiao smiled and said, "There's no need to kowtow. Why should we be so formal as master and disciple? I have to say, Jingliang, you did a good job and lived up to my high expectations!"

Did I live up to Master's expectations?

Xue Jingliang was also overwhelmed with emotion for a moment.

Master Zhong is the best teacher, so he can also be the best apprentice!

Xue Jingliang said solemnly, "Yes, Master, you have been so kind and virtuous. Jingliang will never forget it. I will work like a slave to repay you for your kindness."

Zhong Lixiao shook his head, "You don't have to work like a slave, just be yourself. Today is Jingliang's big day, why don't we have a small gathering together as master and disciple?"

Ning Yunzhi was overjoyed when she heard that. "It's time for us to get together. Let me cook. Master, please try my cooking."

Hu Xiaolu also said excitedly, "I'll go and help. I'm also good at cooking."

"Ha ha."

Soon, the entire Diling Peak was filled with the sound of clinking glasses, and the atmosphere seemed particularly joyful for a moment.

Even for Zhong Lixiao, this was a long-lost relaxing experience.

As a roll king, he has always had a sense of crisis since he was a child, and his footsteps are running all the way along the road, rarely having the opportunity to stop.

But this time, for him, it was a long-lost feeling of enjoying family happiness.

This had some impact on Zhong Lixiao's mood, and made him have more insights and feelings about cultivation and life.
