Chapter 132 Congratulations
Compared with the Qi training period, the Dantian undergoes a major qualitative change after the foundation is established, and the internal magic power flows endlessly, and its power and strength are incomparable.

"It's true that the gap can't be bridged by quantity."

After slightly exerting his magic power, Li Ji'an felt that he was terrifyingly strong.

"I have taken note of the kindness of my fellow Taoists. Please go back and we will meet again after you come out of seclusion." He mobilized his magical powers and responded to the congratulations from everyone outside the cave.

When we met more than a month ago, I had to respectfully call him "senior". Now I can finally treat him as an equal, which makes me feel a lot more relaxed.

Then he sent a message to Tong Yaoyao and Zhao Shuyao to thank them for their protection.

Now that the foundation has been built, I just need to retreat for a while to consolidate it, and I don’t need to worry about being influenced by others.

After everyone outside the cave had dispersed, Li Ji'an reviewed and summarized his experience of building his foundation for the first time in his life in more detail, and planned for his next life in advance.

"My magic power is pure but not strong enough. The main reason is my cultivation technique. I must cultivate a more advanced technique in my next life."

"There's still room for improvement in my physical body. If I can use the second-level physical body to impact the foundation-building stage, and if I can accommodate twice as much spiritual energy, then perhaps my spiritual pressure will be enough."

"The spirit and soul are completely sufficient, and there is even more. Just follow the steps!"

"The main function of the Foundation Establishment Pill is simply to compensate for one's own shortcomings... If one's own strength is sufficient, wouldn't it be better not to use it?

What exactly is that subtle feeling before taking the Foundation Establishment Pill?
If I don't take the Foundation Establishment Pill in my next life, will I be able to grasp that ray of inspiration? What benefits will that bring?"

……

After the summary, Li Ji'an once again sensed the results of his foundation-building in more detail.

There is no need to explain Dantian and magic power.

The soul was further improved due to the success of the foundation building, and it was faintly touching the level of the late foundation building. This was also expected.

There is no change in the physical body. If one wants to break through to the second level of body refining, he can only further refine his body through the second level demon core.

Then compare horizontally.

"My magical aura... seems to be stronger than Yan Qingwan's aura twelve years ago."

"When Xiao Changfeng first established his foundation last year, his aura wasn't as strong as mine now."

After careful recollection and comparison, Li Ji'an was a little surprised.

If the other two had not used some secret technique to restrain their breath, he felt that his magical power at this moment was greater than theirs.

"Could it be that there really is a difference between strong and weak in foundation building?"

Over the years, he has read a lot of information about foundation building.

There is a view that says that there are good and bad foundations, such as low-grade Taoist foundations, high-grade Taoist foundations, and even heavenly foundations, and it is also said that they have an impact on subsequent realms.

However, this view was denied by many powerful people, including the ancestor of the late True Dan stage of the Biyun Sect. He said that Dan formation has nothing to do with foundation building, and he also refuted it based on empirical evidence that he had observed the differences in foundation building between many core disciples and inner disciples in the sect and found no obvious pattern.

He said that after building the foundation, the dantian of all cultivators is normal, the only difference is that the magic power is weak, which has nothing to do with building the foundation, and should be affected by the practice during the foundation-building period and the quality of the foundation-building pill.

However, there are also records in ancient books that only say that foundation building is related to the path of Taoism, but do not mention the advantages and disadvantages of foundation building.

However, this statement was denied by the ancestor of Wanfa Palace, who had the highest cultivation level in the entire Tiancang Realm, saying that he was at the Nascent Soul stage and had not felt the impact of foundation building on the Nascent Soul.

"Could it be true, as the Biyun Sect's ancestor said, that the grade of the foundation-building pill affects the magic power after the foundation is successfully built?" After a little thought, Li Ji'an compared and argued with the differences between him and Yan Qingwan.

He and Yan Qingwan practiced the same technique, and neither of them took level-breaking pills during the Qi training period. Judging from their mana alone, the biggest difference was that he took high-quality foundation-building pills to assist in foundation-building, while Yan Qingwan took low-quality foundation-building pills to assist in foundation-building.

After personally experiencing the foundation-building process, he determined that the effectiveness of the foundation-building pill was mainly due to its additional mana replenishment to the dantian and its additional increase in spiritual pressure.

"That should be it!" After reasonable argumentation, Li Ji'an came to a conclusion with a high probability.

The extra mana and spiritual pressure added by the premium foundation-building pill are both more and stronger, so the condensed liquid mana is stronger and richer.

Xiao Changfeng's magical power was already strong. Although he did not have the support of the Foundation Establishment Pill, his magical power was already greater than the additional magical power supplemented by Yan Qingwan using the low-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.

After reaching this conclusion, Li Ji'an felt fortunate and even more grateful to the little fire spirit.

The quality of the foundation-building pill not only affects the success rate of foundation-building, but also affects the strength of the foundation after building.

"I established my foundation at the age of thirty-seven in this life, and because I took the fine foundation-building pill, my starting point was unexpectedly much higher. I can't let it go to waste."

After confirming the results of his foundation-building in this life, Li Ji'an made prospects and plans for the future.

"In this life, I should strive to achieve Dan without compromising my safety!"

If you don't plan for the moment, you won't be able to plan for the whole life.

How can you plan for eternal life without planning for your own life?

Moreover, now that his foundation has been successfully established, his vitality has become much stronger, and his lifespan is conservatively estimated to be at least two hundred and fifty-six.

It will take at least two hundred years for me to regain my youth in this life.

Of course, when I was feeding the queen ant with qi and blood in my previous life, I already understood that consuming qi and blood could also advance the time of rejuvenation. It is even reasonable to speculate that some secret techniques like Burning Blood Escape that consume a large amount of qi, blood and vitality can greatly advance the time of rejuvenation.

Strictly speaking, the upper limit of my rejuvenation is now controlled by my cultivation level, but the lower limit is always under my control.

If it is beneficial to his ultimate goal of becoming an immortal for eternity, he can completely regain his youth hundreds of years in advance.

However, looking at it now, this is completely meaningless, and every additional time of rejuvenation is a huge crisis and challenge.

No matter how perfect the arrangements are, how can it be as reassuring as having your own strength?
"Forming a pill!" After having a goal in this life, Li Ji'an's eyes were determined.

There are three levels of foundation building: initial, intermediate and final, and each level also has a qualitative change.

Whenever there is a qualitative change, the power and thickness of the magic power will be greatly improved.

Furthermore, the higher the level of qualitative change, the greater the difference. According to many records, the mid-stage Foundation Establishment stage is more than double that of the early-stage Foundation Establishment stage, while the late-stage Foundation Establishment stage is twice as fast as the mid-stage Foundation Establishment stage.

"With my talent of medium-grade spiritual roots in this life, and the practice of this kind of skills, it will probably take at least thirty years to complete the initial stage of foundation building!" Recalling many records and combining them with his actual situation, Li Ji'an recognized himself and had a clear idea of what he was doing.

“Even if I can complete the foundation building and be qualified to strive for the core formation, it will probably take a hundred years!”

This does not count the two major bottlenecks in the foundation-building period.

The two major bottlenecks in the foundation-building period are more difficult than those in the Qi training period. Even high-grade spiritual roots cannot avoid them. All those except earth spiritual roots and above need to face them.

However, Li Ji'an was not too worried about the bottleneck of the foundation-building period, because the records said that the bottleneck of the foundation-building period, in addition to basic resources such as spiritual veins and Taoist temples, mainly lies in the state of mind and perception, and does not involve the refining of magic power. Many people need to enter the world to gain experience, or go into seclusion to meditate.

He was confident in this because of the increase in his understanding that he had gained from experiencing rejuvenation many times.

"The world of cultivation is ever-changing. No one can predict what will happen in the next hundred years. We still lack a way to protect our path!" The goal has been set, and the next step is how to achieve it safely.

Li Ji'an summarized the fighting in the cultivation world. He believed that the safest way was to fight at a very long distance, such as controlling spirit beasts, manipulating puppets, and setting up magic arrays in advance. There was no need to even meet the opponent. This not only reduced the chance of injury or death, but also avoided the possibility of being hunted down by enemies.

The next level is talismans and magical weapons, which are used to control and fight from a long distance.

This method can be used in emergencies, avoids close contact with the opponent, and consumes less energy.

The next point is the magic battle, which requires direct combat and consumes a lot of energy.

The worst are close combat for physical cultivation and some secret techniques for close combat attacks.

The world of cultivation is full of strange things, and there is no guarantee that the other party has any secret cards. In close combat, if the other party pulls out a magical weapon, you will not be able to escape.

However, when Li Ji'an was preparing a method to protect himself, the order was exactly the opposite.

First of all, make sure your physical body can withstand a fatal blow at a critical moment. This is the key to guarding against Lao Liu, and it is also your most basic trump card, which is not revealed at ordinary times.

The second is that he must learn one or two secret escape techniques so that he can retreat immediately in critical moments. The Red Dragon Escape that Yan Qingwan taught him before was one of such techniques.

The third is talismans and magical instruments.

Now that his foundation has been successfully established, his magic power is strong, and his soul is comparable to that of the late stage of foundation building. He must make progress in the second-level talismans. Although this is not his most important trump card, it is definitely his most lethal trump card.

If one could draw a late second stage attack talisman, one would have the attack power of the late foundation building stage.

The last trump card, and also the outermost trump card, is Gua Gua.

As for the formation inheritance passed down to him by Grandma You, he did not have more energy to study it for the time being. Moreover, the formation inheritance was only a first-level inheritance, which was of little use to him as he was in the foundation-building stage.

"Level 2 physical cultivation requires a Level 2 golden armor beast core... it's too difficult, so I'll put it on the back burner for now."

"It is difficult to find advanced skills in the Foundation Establishment Spell State."

"The second-level talisman... the talisman inheritance given by the Great Elder will be given priority."

"Guagua's low-grade bloodline was able to advance to the second level thanks to Xiao Qiao and Huo Ling's help. Unless something unexpected happens, there's no possibility of further advancement."

……

A month later, his Dantian had undergone a complete transformation, his Foundation Establishment stage was stable, and Li Ji'an came out of retreat.

"On behalf of the master, Qi would like to congratulate Fellow Daoist Li! This is just a small gift, not a token of respect." Manager Qi estimated the time in advance and waited outside.

As soon as Li Ji'an came out of the cave, he handed over a red spiritual ginseng, an auxiliary ingredient of the second-level primary elixir, and also the main ingredient of the anti-aging pill. It was worth about three hundred spirit stones, and the key was that it was very difficult to find.

This gift is not light.

"Manager Qi, you're too polite." Li Ji'an accepted the gift with a smile. For an ordinary foundation-building person with whom he was not particularly close, a gift of three hundred spirit stones was a bit expensive, but for a second-level alchemist who had refined top-grade elixirs, it was not expensive at all.

Moreover, Li Ji'an understood his thoughts and what he wanted.

If there is one more second-level alchemist in the fairy city, it will bring more popularity and benefits to the fairy city.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Li. Please accept this small token of my gratitude."

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Li. You have a promising future."

……

Those who can settle in the inner city of the Immortal City are basically foundation-building independent people with extraordinary skills in some aspect. They have a higher demand for second-level elixirs and are more willing to make friends with a second-level alchemist who has refined top-grade elixirs.

Similarly, Li Ji'an was also interested in the inheritance of skills of some of them and was willing to make friends with them.

Anyway, I didn't want to be famous last time when I made the top-grade elixir, but I had already become famous. Moreover, my goal in this life is to form an elixir. There is still a long time of more than 200 years. Maybe I can outlast these old generations. There is no need to rush to think about the next rejuvenation.

"Li thanks all the fellow Taoists and will host a small banquet to celebrate the occasion another day. I hope you will honor me with your presence."

After exchanging greetings with a group of fellow craftsmen.

"Xie Gui greets Senior Li. I am here to present a small gift on the orders of my master. Congratulations on your successful foundation building." Xie Gui kept his head down all the way, holding a jade bottle in his hands.

"Master Zou is very thoughtful. Thank Master Zou for me." Li Ji'an had seen Master Zou Dan's temperament many times and did not have any special feelings about it.

Xie Gui hurriedly bowed and breathed a sigh of relief.

Master Zou Dan had previously taken advantage of his seniority to bully Li Ji'an. When he heard a month ago that Li Ji'an had successfully established his foundation, Master Zou Dan became worried, fearing that Li Ji'an would bear a grudge against him.

At this time, Li Ji'an actually called him "Master Zou" in front of everyone, which made Xie Gui feel relieved instantly.

Li Ji'an was a little surprised when another person appeared just after he sent Xie Gui away.

"Jiucan, on behalf of the Liu family, congratulates Fellow Daoist Li on his successful foundation building and the prosperity of his immortal path."
