Mysterious mirror hanging high

Although the offensive capability of [Ku Du Xuan Guang] after the power increase is still not comparable to [Yi Yuan Heavy Water], it has the advantage of instantaneous release, extremely fast speed of magic light, and several levels higher flexibility than [Yi Yuan Heavy Water], making it suitable for use in conventional combat.

As for the effect of the [Golden Toad Demon Eyes] in preserving the truth and dispelling illusions, it is a useless function for Jing Yu, who has the [Longevity] destiny, and is just a bonus.

After testing the efficacy of this demon eye, Jing Yu wiped it with his fingertips, and the golden vertical eye on his forehead closed instantly. His forehead returned to its former smoothness and flatness, leaving only a faint golden mark, which looked very beautiful.

Then Jing Yu took out a pair of almost transparent cicada wings dotted with silver from the storage bag, shed the wings on his back, and put them on.

This cicada wing is called [Silver Star Cicada Wing], and it is the wing of a foundation-building insect beast.

It is different from the wings of birds and beasts. Jing Yu's original bird wings are better at flying in a straight line, but the [Silver Star Cicada Wings] are better at dodging and moving, as well as short-distance bursts, and are more suitable for the needs of fighting.

The best thing about [Alien Skeleton Technique] is that parts can be replaced anytime and anywhere. Jing Yu often adapts to different scenarios. He even has a few pairs of fish fins in his storage bag, just in case he needs to use them to fight and escape in the water one day.

Jing Yu is now at the second level of body refining, and his Qi training has reached the middle stage of foundation building. He has been practicing the [Spirit Condensation Technique] diligently every day over the years, and his spiritual power has long surpassed the scope of ordinary cultivators in the late stage of foundation building. His magical powers have also been honed to perfection. In terms of combat power, Jing Yu is confident that he can defeat even Huangfu Zhengqi in the [Langhuo Blessed Land] that day.

"It's time to get out of seclusion."

After reviewing all his magical powers, techniques, skills and treasures, Jing Yu confirmed that there were no mistakes or omissions. Then he removed the formation in the retreat room and pushed the door open to leave.

But just as he entered the yard, he saw a paper crane slowly flying over and landing on Jing Yu's shoulder.

Jing Yu probed in with his mind, sensing the imprint of magical power. He then realized it was the paper crane left by Zhao Yuanxi. He quickly unwrapped it, took a look, and said in surprise, "Is Yuanxi currently cultivating his foundation in the cave abode in the inner city's immortal mountain? Why didn't he wait for me to come out of seclusion?"

Then it turned into a beam of light and flew towards the fairy mountain in the inner city.

At this time, spiritual energy gathered above the fairy mountain cave, and a spectacular spiritual energy vortex slowly took shape.

The current situation of Xiaoyao Fairy City is not as good as it was twenty years ago. The demons invaded Yunchuan Territory. Although it cannot be said that they were unstoppable, the Righteous Alliance was also defeated repeatedly. The two sides have been in a stalemate for more than twenty years. The Xiaoyao Alliance and the four major factions have already lost half of their territory. If it were not for this great struggle, the Yunchuan Territory's luck and destiny would have gathered and given birth to many heroes to turn the tide. I am afraid that the entire territory would have fallen by now.

But even so, the popularity of Xiaoyao Immortal City is much weaker than before. The older generation of cultivators have either died of old age, or were drafted and died on the battlefield, or are secluded in seclusion to accumulate strength in order to save their lives in this demonic calamity. The original scene of hundreds of cultivators watching when a cultivator attacked the foundation is no longer there. Now, there are only a dozen cultivators surrounding this spiritual energy vortex, pointing and talking.

The dozen or so old Qigong cultivators outside the cave looked up at the sky and whispered to each other:

"Do you think Fairy Yuan Xi can succeed this time?"

A female cultivator who looked like an old woman said, "Fairy Yuan Xi tried to build her foundation three years ago, but unfortunately she failed. Fortunately, she had a [Genuine Foundation Building Pill] to protect her dantian, and she only suffered a minor injury. Now, three years have passed, and her injuries have healed. Her foundation is stronger than before. With the experience of failure once, I think this time, if I can't say it's a sure thing, I should have a 30% to 50% chance of success!"

Another cultivator nodded and said, "That's true. Generally speaking, after failing once at building a foundation, the chances of success the second time around are much higher. However, cultivators without high-grade spiritual roots often reach the ninth level of Qi training in their seventies or eighties, giving them only one chance to build a foundation."

"Those with lower-grade spiritual roots are better off. They can often reach the ninth level of Qi training by the age of sixty or so. Taking into account the time it takes to recover from Dantian injuries, they actually have two or three opportunities to establish their foundation."

"But if a cultivator without a background works hard all his life, he can only save enough spirit stones to buy one [Genuine Foundation Establishment Pill]. How can he afford to buy a second one? Fairy Yuan Xi, after all, has a good uncle who is a master of alchemy. That's why she has no shortage of Foundation Establishment Pills and can afford to splurge like this."

A flash of light passed by, revealing the figure of Jing Yu in a gray robe.

The other cultivators were shocked upon seeing this, and all bowed and said, "Greetings, Master Xuan Jing!"

The monk thought to himself, "Speaking of my uncle, my uncle is here... Tsk, why don't I have such a wealthy elder?"

Jing Yu just stared at the spiritual energy vortex above the Immortal Mountain Cave Mansion. Seeing that it was still stable, he felt relieved and thought to himself:

"Yuan Xi failed in his foundation-building three years ago. This was within my expectations. Low-grade spiritual roots are considered good for a casual cultivator, but not good enough in front of a sect's true disciples or the direct descendants of an aristocratic family. With this kind of spiritual root aptitude, those who succeed in building a foundation in one go are incredibly lucky."

"With the experience I gained this time, I've solidified my foundation. Add to that the foundation-building insights I've compiled. Even if I still can't succeed, I can at least try again and it'll be almost there!"

Now that we have nothing else, we have enough Foundation Establishment Pills!

If the cultivators present heard Jing Yu's inner thoughts, their jaws would probably drop to the ground. But he was not exaggerating. He had not fallen behind in the art of alchemy in the past twenty-one years. Due to the invasion of the demonic sect, he had refined large quantities of pills for the Xiaoyao League, the four major sects, the Huangfeng Valley and other forces. His alchemy skills had become even more advanced.

However, the pale white spiritual energy vortex was spinning faster and faster, and soon, it was stained with a hint of jade green.

Jing Yu heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and secretly said: "Condensing the essence into jade, the spiritual energy condenses into the Immortal Jade Liquid, Yuan Xi is done!"

Just as he thought, the vortex's rotation speed continued to increase, and the jade color became more and more obvious. In the end, it even looked emerald green.

boom--

The foundation of the cave shook slightly, and the vortex of spiritual energy in the sky shrank and was sucked into the cave. Soon, a little frost formed on the stone door of the cave.

The next moment, the stone door of the cave suddenly opened, and a beautiful female cultivator with a face as white as snow and a graceful posture walked out. As she looked around, a chill blew in her face, and a frosty white color extended to the ground.

"Congratulations, sir, on your transformation from a mortal to an immortal. From now on, your path to immortality will be smooth and you will have eternal life in sight!"

A group of Qigong cultivators bowed in congratulations. Zhao Yuanxi, who had just emerged from retreat, nodded and smiled. He then walked up to Jing Yu and bowed, saying:

"I have been seeking the truth for sixty years, relying on my uncle's support all the way. Yuan Xi is fortunate to have fulfilled his mission!"
