For cultivators, foundation building is the threshold of formally stepping into cultivation.
If the qi refining period is only for the entry qualification, then being able to build a foundation means how far that person can go on this road.
Establishing a foundation means stepping into the door of cultivating immortals, and it will add nearly a hundred years to the life span of a normal person. Even if this life is only in the foundation-building period, it will have a lifespan of nearly two hundred years.
This is something that many people have dreamed of for the human race for at most a hundred years.
Qizhi looked at Xianglian and suddenly became less attached to Foundation Establishment.
"Senior, are you joking?" Qi Zhi looked at her and said, "My qualifications are not good at all, even if I have established a foundation, I can't continue to cultivate, so why bother you to worry about me."
Looking at the moonlight tonight, Qizhi said to Xianglian: "What's more, it's useless for me to live such a long life. It's better to finish this life quickly, and maybe I can start again in the next life."
Xiang Lian disagreed, she said to Qi Zhi: "I have lived for tens of thousands of years and have suffered no less than you. I know you are not so attached to becoming an immortal, but if you can build a foundation, you can live without food. A lot of things are also easier than what you do now."
"Take Gu Tingshuang as an example." Xianglian said: "The reason why she can pester you every day and you still can't get rid of her is because you are only in the Qi refining stage slightly better than ordinary people. Jie Qi even became a fairy and went to the Upper Immortal Realm, so how can she continue to pester you?"
Qizhi remained silent and lowered his head to listen to Xianglian's words.
Xiang Lian hugged Qi Zhi, comforted her and said, "If you are content with the status quo all your life, Ting Shuang will always pester you like this. Do you still want to be with her?"
Qi Zhi shook his head, but couldn't speak.
Reason clearly told him that he should stay away from that woman Gu Tingshuang, but he still missed her in his heart.
Qi Zhi thinks that love is really scary, it wears down her will, makes her unable to forget the person she misses, and makes Gu Tingshuang unable to forget her, both of them are tormenting each other.
After a long time, Qi Zhi nodded and said: "I understand, then... I will trouble you."
Xianglian was also very happy to see that she agreed, she didn't even look at the scenery, and flew down while praying, and the two of them landed steadily in the courtyard of the wing.
"If we want to build the foundation, we have to go to the lotus in the mirror." Xianglian took Qizhi's hand into the room, pulled her to the bedside and said, "Go to sleep, we will go to the mirror when you fall asleep." Zhonglian builds the foundation."
Qi Zhi obediently took off his clothes and got into the quilt, saw Xiang Lian sitting on the edge of his bed and staring at himself, and said with some embarrassment: "You stare at me like this, I can't sleep."
Xianglian supported her head and said helplessly, "Why are you so troublesome, do you want me to help you?"
Qi Zhi shook her head, she actually woke up very early today, and could barely sleep if she wanted to, but it always felt weird if someone was staring at her sleeping.
Xianglian thought for a while, and said, "I put out the candle lamp, so it should be better?"
As he said that, the candlesticks in the room went out with a "huh", and the whole wing room was plunged into darkness, only the moonlight came in from the window sill.
Qizhi couldn't see Xianglian anymore, but he could still feel her staring at him.
"Senior." Qi Zhi closed his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Does the foundation hurt?"
Xianglian held the other's hand and said softly, "Where does it hurt to build a foundation? Don't think about it, go to sleep."
The deep voice made Qi Zhi relax, and soon fell asleep, and Xianglian also returned to the lotus in the mirror.
During this period of absence, the lotus in the mirror is a bit messy.
The originally closed gate of the pagoda was opened at this moment, and in the pond in front, all the lotus flowers grew wildly, and some even grew to the corridor of the courtyard, which looked lush and scary.
Qi Zhi was also a little surprised when she saw the scenery. She followed behind Xiang Lian, looked at those unscrupulous lotus flowers, and asked worriedly: "How big are they going to grow, they don't look like lotus flowers at all."
"Are you afraid?" Xianglian turned her head to look at Qizhi, stopped and said to her, "Extend your hand."
Qi Zhi stretched out his hand without knowing why, and Xianglian held her, and then Qi Zhi only felt a pain in his fingertips.
"Huh?" Qi Zhi looked at her puzzled, "This is..."
"I may not stay in Mirror Lotus in the future, so you need to take care of many things." Xianglian withdrew her hand, and there was a blush between her, which was obviously a bloodstain.
With a wave of her hand, she wiped the drop of blood on Zhizhi's lips, and instantly a rusty smell spread to her mouth, making Zhizhi frowned subconsciously.
"The blood of you and me is fused, and you can drive the lotus in the mirror as you like." Xianglian leaned over and smiled lightly: "You have a try, and let those lotus flowers return to their original appearance."
"What shall I do?"
"Just think about it for a while."
Qizhi tried it according to what Xianglian said, and he saw that the wildly growing lotus gradually gathered up, and soon returned to its original appearance, and Qizhi's eyes widened when he saw it.
Xiang Lian was very happy seeing her like this, and said to her: "Do you still remember the avatar of Lian you left in the mirror?"
Qi Zhi nodded.
"From now on, she will replace me and take care of your flowers and plants." Xiang Lian took Qi Zhi's hand and said to her, "Follow me into the pagoda."
It has been a long time since I got the lotus in the mirror. Every plant and tree here is made by Qizhi and Xianglian. Qizhi has walked the road to the pagoda countless times.
But today, she was finally able to walk into this resplendent and majestic pagoda.
The tall and wide gate has been opened at this moment, and Qizhi can see the inside of the pagoda at a glance, all of which are hundreds of volumes of scriptures, the entire pagoda is hollow, and both sides of the door are all embedded in the wall The bookshelves extend all the way to the top of the head.
"These books..."
Curiously, Qi Zhi walked to a row of bookshelves, picked up a volume of scriptures and looked through it. She found that she knew every word, but she couldn't understand what it was talking about together.
After that, I opened several other books and found that it was the same.
It was also the first time for Xianglian to come inside the pagoda. She flew up to the top of the pagoda.
Looking down from the top of the pagoda, Xianglian only felt that the pagoda that had trapped her real body for so long was nothing more than that. Why couldn't she open it before?
Xianglian looked down at Qizhi, who was still flipping through the scriptures, frowning, and suddenly understood something.
Maybe it's not that it can't be opened, but that it can't be opened in time.
Everyone has a destiny, whoever meets whomever, whoever turns against whomever, is also a cycle of cause and effect.
Thinking of this, Xiang Lian fell to Qi Zhi's side.
"Don't look at it." Xianglian took out the volume of scriptures from her hand, and said to Qi Zhi: "You are not a Buddhist practitioner, it is useless to read these, we have to build the foundation quickly."
Qizhi also felt that the business was important, so he nodded: "Okay, how do we start then?"
Xianglian threw the book aside, pulled Qizhi to her side and said, "Leave it to me."
***
In the early morning of the next day, the sky was just getting bright, and the birds were singing with a hint of laziness.
Feng Le'an stood in the kitchen, listening to the people from Tianxiang Temple chatting.
These days, Xiangsi Temple opened the Dharma altar every day, and there were more people coming here to eat, and the monks couldn't help complaining.
"I don't know how long this dharma altar will be open. Those casual practitioners are not very qualified. After eating for a few days, they smashed half of the bowls in the temple."
"No way, this is the rule of the temple, there are two games every year."
"I don't know what the host is thinking. Most of those casual cultivators have already fasted, and I really can't figure out how to entertain them."
"I heard that there are distinguished guests in the temple, why have I never seen them before?"
"We cook, how can we see distinguished guests?"
Feng Le'an is steaming the buns. She went to the town today and bought some pastries and pancakes that Qi Zhi likes. After cooking the porridge, she can serve it to Qi Zhi.
Feng Le'an was a little surprised by what happened yesterday, she had never seen Qi Zhi so painful.
Although she cursed Gu Tingshuang, Feng Le'an knew better than anyone else that Qi Zhi still couldn't forget that woman.
This is kind of bad.
Looking at the bubbling porridge, Feng Le'an felt that she had to find a way to make Gu Tingshuang no longer pester Qi Zhi, otherwise she was not sure that Qi Zhi would forget Gu Tingshuang completely.
After serving a bowl of porridge, Feng Le'an took the breakfast and went to the wing room of Qi Zhi, but met someone at the door that he didn't want to meet.
Therefore, Tingshuang was standing at the gate of the courtyard in a moon-white robe. She stood with lowered eyebrows and eyes, and there was still dew condensed in the morning mist on her body. It could be seen that she had been standing at the gate for a long time.
Feng Le settled down for a while, then walked over and said, "Gu Tingshuang, do you think this is interesting?"
Therefore, Tingshuang raised her eyes slightly to look at Feng Le'an when she heard the voice, and continued to maintain that movement, not wanting to give Feng Le'an a good face.
Feng Le'an didn't have much influence, she and Gu Tingshuang didn't like each other in the first place, but now they are rivals in love, so naturally they hate each other, and they don't care about her expression now.
"I advise you, give up your heart. Didn't you get scolded enough yesterday?" When Feng Le'an passed by Gu Tingshuang with her breakfast in hand, she slowly said to her, "You don't know how to take good care of your daughter at all." A person, the most suitable thing for you is to die alone."
Therefore, listening to Shuang Xing's eyes shaking slightly, she did not refute or admit it, only seeing Feng Le'an entered the yard, she dared to lift her heels and walk in.
That's right, Gu Tingshuang had been standing outside the praying yard all night, but she didn't dare to step into the yard.
Even though her cultivation base is very high, even if she has absolute rights and status, she still dare not pray.
So Tingshuang stood at the gate of the yard, watched Feng Le'an put the breakfast on the stone table, and knocked on the door of the room to pray.
"Azhi, I bought breakfast, are you awake?" Feng Le'an said to the people in the house: "Get up and eat, I bought all your favorite food."
Feng Le'an knocked twice before the door was opened.
Qi Zhi rubbed his eyes and looked at Feng Le'an, and said hello in a confused way: "Morning, Senior Sister."
When seeing Qizhi, Feng Le'an was slightly taken aback, looked her up and down and said in surprise: "Ah Zhi, have you built the foundation?"
Qizhi nodded, and said with a light smile, "Yes, Xianglian helped me build the foundation last night, and it went very well."
"That's great!" Feng Le'an hugged Qizhi happily, kissed her forehead and said, "I knew that my Azhi is great, and foundation building will be a matter of time."
Qizhi rubbed the kissed forehead and was still in a daze, then saw Gu Tingshuang standing far away, and his heart suddenly became tense.
Feng Le'an felt the embarrassment of Qi Zhi, but did not let go, but bowed his head and kissed Qi Zhi's nose again, put his arms around Qi Zhi's waist and whispered in her ear: "Don't look at her, Ah Zhi , now I am your Taoist companion."
If the qi refining period is only for the entry qualification, then being able to build a foundation means how far that person can go on this road.
Establishing a foundation means stepping into the door of cultivating immortals, and it will add nearly a hundred years to the life span of a normal person. Even if this life is only in the foundation-building period, it will have a lifespan of nearly two hundred years.

Xiang Lian disagreed, she said to Qi Zhi: "I have lived for tens of thousands of years and have suffered no less than you. I know you are not so attached to becoming an immortal, but if you can build a foundation, you can live without food. A lot of things are also easier than what you do now."
"Take Gu Tingshuang as an example." Xianglian said: "The reason why she can pester you every day and you still can't get rid of her is because you are only in the Qi refining stage slightly better than ordinary people. Jie Qi even became a fairy and went to the Upper Immortal Realm, so how can she continue to pester you?"
