Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 291 Three levels of foundation building
The climate in Bianxia Town in June is very hot. Looking around, you can see visible heat waves rising in the air.

Tianshan Mountain, Puqing Peak, in the training room, Song Xian suddenly opened his eyes, and the spiritual energy around him rose steadily, and soon he broke through the third level of foundation building.

After returning from Bianxi City, he began to practice in seclusion. It took him several months to absorb all the spiritual power contained in the Soul-Replenishing Pill. The spiritual power in his body also increased all the way and now has reached 900 points. As a result, his cultivation level naturally broke through the third level of foundation building.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, the spiritual power of a cultivator at the first level of Foundation Establishment is between 600 and 750 points.

The spiritual power of a cultivator at the second stage of foundation building is between 750 and 900.

The spiritual power of a cultivator at the third stage of foundation building is between nine hundred and one thousand and fifty.

That is to say, the spiritual power breakthrough of each level in the initial stage of foundation building is 150 points.

If one reaches the middle stage of foundation building, two hundred and fifty points of spiritual power are required to break through each level.

At the late stage of foundation building, each level of spiritual power breakthrough requires 400 points.

Song Xian exhaled deeply, a look of joy flashing across his face. The effect of this second-grade low-grade spiritual tonic was better than he had imagined. He originally thought that with these thirty-four pills, he would be able to break through the second level of foundation building, but he didn't expect to break through the third level of foundation building in one go. This was almost equivalent to decades of hard practice.

He tried hard to suppress his joy and remain calm. There were still a few soul-replenishing pills left that needed to be absorbed and refined.

After a while, he regained his composure and took out another soul-replenishing pill, swallowed it, and refined it.

He ended his retreat only after absorbing all thirty-four soul-replenishing pills.

.........

The next day, Zhong Wenyuan walked in from outside the brightly lit hall, bowed respectfully to him, and reported on the sect's recent developments over the past six months.

Because he was in seclusion for cultivation, Zhong Wenyuan was fully responsible for the sect's affairs during this period.

Now all the affairs of the sect are on track, so there are no important matters, just some trivial matters. Song Xian had expected this. Although he was in seclusion, he was still at the mountain gate. If there was anything extremely urgent and important, Zhong Wenyuan would definitely report it.

The two talked about various sect affairs for a long time, and finally talked about Zhong Wenyuan's foundation building.

The situation in Xijiang County is becoming increasingly tense. The Yunxuan Sect and the Beast Taming Sect may come to blows at any time. Jiang Feng has already made it clear that if that day comes, he will definitely recruit the Tianshan Sect to join the fight.

In this chaotic situation, Song Xian naturally hopes that the sect can add a foundation-building cultivator as soon as possible, so that his pressure can be greatly reduced.

"Senior Brother Wenyuan, if I remember correctly, the Beast Taming Sect's competition and selection period will be in a few months. How is your practice of the Xuantian Ronghuo Jue going?" Song Xian has already passed on the first three levels of this technique to him.

"I'm dull and my progress is slow. I feel I'm still a long way from breaking through to the second level."

"Then I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time for this competition. What do you think about the foundation-building process, Senior Brother Wenyuan?"

"If you can win the first place in the competition, you can go to the Beast Taming Sect's mountain gate to build your foundation, which would be great. If not, we will see the situation."

Song Xian nodded and opened his mouth, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Zhong Wenyuan naturally saw this and asked, "Master, what are your instructions?"

Song Xian then spoke, "Originally, when you establish your foundation is your personal matter, and I shouldn't interfere. However, the situation in Xijiang County is so tense right now, so I hope the sect can add a foundation-building cultivator as soon as possible."

"I understand." Zhong Wenyuan knew that Song Xian was urging him to break through to the foundation-building stage as soon as possible, because now he was the only one in the entire sect who had reached the great perfection of Qi Refining and was qualified to break through to the foundation-building stage.

"I'm just giving you some advice. It's up to you to decide what to do. If you're unsure and want to wait a few more years, or if you didn't win the first place in this competition, you can wait until the next one."

"I will consider it carefully."

…………

A few months passed in a flash, and it was time for the Bianxi City Foundation Establishment Competition organized by the Beastmaster Sect. The Yixian Peak was crowded with people, and groups of monks were standing at the entrance.

In the distance, a spiritual ship was speeding towards them, and the flag on the bow fluttered towards the three big words "Hunyuan Sect".

The spirit ship stopped in mid-air, and several figures leaped down from it. They were none other than Song Xian and his group. As they entered the arena, the onlookers consciously made way for them wherever they passed. Almost everyone looked at Song Xian, the Foundation Establishment cultivator, with sidelong glances; no one dared to look directly at him.

"Master Song has come in person."

"Master Song, it's been a long time since we last met. If you have time, please come to our sect and let us show our hospitality."

"Master Song, it's been a long time. Madam Song is becoming more and more beautiful and charming. She is worthy of being the most beautiful woman in Bianxi City."

Inside the competition arena, upon seeing Song Xian's arrival, some leaders of sects and forces in Bianxi City who had had dealings with him came over to greet him.

Song Xian did not put on airs and responded politely to everyone who greeted him.

The reason why he came to Yixian Peak was not to watch Zhong Wenyuan's performance in the foundation-building selection competition, but just on his way.

This trip to Bianxi City was mainly for the development of Shitouling Casino, inviting Luoyun Sect to join, and persuading Jiang Feng to relax restrictions.

In the past two years, the reputation of Shitouling Casino has become increasingly famous, attracting more and more monks from Muhe Grassland.

A month ago, the Xingquan Chamber of Commerce in Muhe Grassland sent someone to contact them, planning to open a gambling shop in Shitouling Casino.

The Xingquan Chamber of Commerce is a major force in the East China Sea area of ​​the Muhe Grassland. There are more than a dozen cities under the jurisdiction of the East China Sea area, and Dongluo City is one of them.

In terms of scale, the Donghai District is even much larger than Xijiang County. As a major force in the Donghai District, the Xingquan Chamber of Commerce has set its sights on Shitouling and wants to open gambling houses and shops there. Of course, it is because of the geographical location of Tianshan Mountain. It hopes to use this as a springboard to sell its own industrial products directly to the Qin State.

So they proposed not only to open a shop in Shitouling, but also to sell items for spiritual practice.

This coincided with Song Xian's original intention, so he came to Jiang Feng to discuss it.

Although Jiang Feng had clearly stated before that business could not be done in Shitouling Casino, the situation had changed. Now Yun Xuanzong had appeared in Xijiang County and was against them. The two sides were on the verge of a war. The Beastmaster Sect was busy with its own affairs and had no energy to care about a small Shitouling Casino. This was a great opportunity for the Hunyuan Sect to develop and strengthen Shitouling.

Not long after everyone took their seats, there was a slight commotion in the crowd. Song Xian looked in the direction of the commotion and saw a group of men and women striding in from the entrance. They were none other than the monks of the Kong family.

The leader was none other than Kong Zhenqing, and following behind him was Kong Xiangyuan, who had lost the last competition with Song Xian for the top spot and had not yet established his foundation.

It can be seen that Kong Zhenqing highly values ​​Kong Xiangyuan. Kong Xiangyuan personally attended both competitions and selections.

But then again, Kong Xiangyuan is indeed worthy of the Kong family's attention. Not only does he have the qualifications of a single spiritual root, but he also possesses innate supernatural powers.

With such qualifications, not to mention the Kong family, even in the Beast Taming Sect and Xuanyuan Sect, he is a child of destiny.

"It's them again." Zhang Ningyuan said hatefully in a low voice.

The people of Hunyuan Sect naturally had no good feelings towards the Kong family. Back then, Song Xian had won the competition by fair and square against Kong Xiangyuan, but was retaliated by the Kong family. They captured Hu Xiaobao and tortured him bitterly. In the end, they had to ask Jiang Feng to come forward to rescue Hu Xiaobao, and for this they also lost 10% of the inspection area's income.

Although there were many people in the sect who disliked Hu Xiaobao's arrogance and domineering behavior, as disciples of Hunyuan Sect, they felt that it was a matter of face to be humiliated by the Kong family. After all, Hu Xiaobao was not only a talented disciple of the sect, but also the uncle of the sect leader, representing the face of the sect.

Therefore, everyone looked unhappy at the moment.

Zhong Wenyuan frowned. He had watched the entire competition between Song Xian and Kong Xiangyuan. He also had a clear understanding of his own strength. With his strength, it was basically impossible for him to defeat Kong Xiangyuan.

When Hu Xiaobao saw the Kong family, he clenched his teeth, clenched his fists, and his eyes were full of hatred.

He has now reached the ninth level of Qi Refining and has signed up for the competition this time.

Song Xian had a blank expression on his face and looked at Kong Zhenqing.

As if sensing something, Kong Zhenqing also looked over. The two of them looked at each other from a distance, as if they were confronting each other.

Kong Xiangyuan behind him also noticed Song Xian, and his eyes became even more serious.
