Chapter 60 Foundation Building
The nine clouds in the Dantian are stacked one upon the other, each layer is nine inches and nine high, and have grown to their extreme.

After a long time.

Chen An felt the powerful spiritual power surging in his body like a rushing river, and a smile of relief appeared on his face.

Qi training is complete!

The spiritual energy of the nine clouds is as round and solid as one, and extremely rich.

Counting the days, almost five years have passed since I reached the ninth level of Qi training.

Today I finally completed my Qi training.

Chen An immediately stood up and came to the spiritual field.

The three heavenly fruit trees are full of spiritual fruits, exuding an enticing and rich fruity aroma.

The first one planted had a dark blue fruit, and its spiritual power was much richer than that of the other two.

In fact, three of them have a hint of purple, which is the most eye-catching on the branches.

[Harvest a five-year-old Tianling fruit and obtain a foundation-building pill] *10
[Harvest a ten-year-old Heavenly Spirit Fruit and obtain a high-quality foundation-building pill] *3
A total of thirteen foundation-building pills!

There was a hint of excitement in Chen An's eyes. If this were to get out, the other forces would definitely turn Yunwu Mountain upside down just for these foundation-building pills.

The foundation-building pill has two functions. One is to protect the meridians and dantian. Even if the foundation-building fails, there will be no danger to life.

Secondly, the Foundation Establishment Pill is a second-level pill that can provide huge and pure spiritual power, assisting cultivators to more smoothly reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

Chen An's skills have reached perfection and he no longer needs to increase his success rate, but the tremendous spiritual power contained in the Foundation Establishment Pill is exactly what he needs to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Hmm? Is the phantom grass also mature?"

Five years have passed, and the progress bars of Fire Scale Vine and Pure Heart Bamboo are still a little short of the target, with about one or two months left, but the Fantasy Light Grass has matured first.

Chen An walked forward.

[Harvest a Phantom Light Grass, obtain the Phantom Light Killing Array]

[Illusionary Light Killing Formation, a second-level lower-grade illusion and killing formation, capable of concealing second-level spiritual power fluctuations, comparable to the power of a cultivator in the early stages of foundation building. Multiple formations can form a composite formation.]

A sense of experience and understanding about setting up formations and forming complex formations flooded into his mind, honed and refined, as if he had practiced it hundreds or thousands of times.

A hint of joy flashed across Chen An's face. This formation could just cover up the fluctuations of his spiritual power when he was building his foundation, which could save him a lot of trouble.

Even though he had already thought of a way to guard against the Liu family, having one more measure of protection would ensure greater safety.

After putting away the thirteen foundation-building pills and the phantom light killing array, Chen An directly left the formation.

Looking up at the clouds lingering on the top of the mountain, he leaped up.

Breaking through a higher realm is risky, and one needs to find a place with rich spiritual energy and relative safety.

His cave was upgraded to the second level due to the advancement of the immortal seed, and the spiritual energy there was as rich as that of a second-level spiritual vein, but there was no one to protect it. If an emergency occurred, it would be difficult for him to deal with it alone.

Even though the old man is nearing the end of his life and has little strength left, his residual power is still there and can intimidate villains.

Passing through the clouds on the top of the mountain, Chen An arrived in front of the attic.

He bowed and said, "Senior, I have something to ask of you."

After a while, a low and slightly empty voice came from inside: "Come in."

Chen An pushed open the door and, following his memory from the last time he came here, stepped into a quiet room.

The old man in front of me opened his cloudy eyes. His face was wrinkled like tree bark and covered with age spots. He exuded a strong air of decadence.

"Qi training is complete!"

When he saw Chen An, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "Alas, my old eyesight is dim. For so many years, I didn't even notice that there is such a person like you in the clan."

You can’t find out, Chen An thought to himself.

His skills are perfect and his aura can be restrained easily. Unless one is a cultivator who has reached Perfect Foundation Establishment or above, or has a secret technique to detect his cultivation level, it is impossible to easily detect his true level of cultivation.

However, the old man’s cultivation level is only at the initial stage of foundation building. Without the relevant secret techniques to detect his cultivation level, he would definitely not be discovered.

"I have been in seclusion and practicing hard for many years and never go out. It is normal that you can't find me." Chen An replied.

The old man nodded and said, "I know your purpose. You want to use the spiritual veins and formations here to break through the foundation-building stage."

He did not ask whether there was any Foundation Establishment Pill. In his opinion, Chen An simply did not have the strength and ability to obtain such a precious pill.

Moreover, with the current strength of the Chen family, they simply do not have the financial resources to obtain another Foundation Establishment Pill.

"Just find a quiet room and concentrate on your breakthrough. Don't worry, I'm here. Even if I risk my life, I will keep you safe this time!"

As he spoke, the old man's aura suddenly became stronger, as if he was having a last gasp.

Chen An opened his mouth but said nothing, then bowed to the other party.

The old man devoted his life to the family, and he respected him from the bottom of his heart.

He is just an ordinary cultivator, his life span will eventually come to an end, and it is beyond human power, so he can do nothing about it.

Chen An bid farewell to the other party and walked into another quiet room.

First, he took out the array plate and array flag of the Phantom Light Killing Array and placed them in the quiet room. After inserting the middle-grade spirit stone to activate it, a layer of misty light curtain rose up, covering the entire attic.

With two layers of formation protection and an old man guarding on the side, there should be no problem with safety.

After Chen An finished his work, he put aside all distractions, adjusted his state, and became calm.

It was not until five days later that he suddenly had a sudden inspiration and felt that his state was better than ever before.

Chen An immediately practiced the Nine Revolutions of Reincarnation. His aura was round and smooth, and the vast spiritual power flowed through his limbs and bones like a river.

There are three major difficulties in breaking through the foundation.

The first is the physical body. To reach a higher level requires a vast amount of spiritual energy to fill the body, which places certain requirements on the physical body.

Insufficient Qi and blood, or those with hidden diseases or old age will affect the success rate.

He had never left Yunwu Mountain and rarely fought with others. The few times he had fought, it was all one-sided victory. This was not an advantage for him, but it was not a disadvantage either.

The second is spiritual power. The purer the spiritual power in the Dantian, the greater the hope.

Chen An's Nine Revolutions of Reincarnation Technique is eight times better than that of the same level, and his technique is at the perfect level. This level has already far exceeded the standard, so naturally there is no problem.

The third is spiritual awareness. Ever since the Nine Wheels of Revolution was restored and his cultivation was completed, his spiritual awareness was comparable to that of an ordinary cultivator in the early stage of foundation building. This was also one of his great reliances.

The three major challenges were almost perfect. As long as nothing unexpected happened, he was 100% sure that he would succeed in building the foundation.

But there is one more point. It is best not to be disturbed when breaking through. Otherwise, not only will the foundation building fail, but your own foundation will also be damaged.

Chen Qing suffered this loss and ended up in his current situation. If he didn't have the second-level elixir or other special methods, he would probably never be able to build a foundation in this lifetime.

However, Chen An has a solid foundation, so he is not afraid even if the Liu family comes again. Moreover, he has the double protection of the old man and the Phantom Light Killing Array.

Feeling the rich spiritual energy emanating from the second-level spiritual vein on the top of Yunwu Mountain, Chen An took out a high-quality foundation-building pill and swallowed it.

After a while.

The spiritual energy of the entire Yunwu Mountain suddenly accelerated and gathered towards the top of the mountain, forming a spiritual power vortex with a diameter of eight feet, madly devouring the vast spiritual energy that was pouring in.

But under the cover of the phantom light killing array, ordinary cultivators from the outside could not see any movement at all.

At this time, the nine clouds in Chen An's Dantian gathered into one ball, and spiritual energy rained down.

It gathers in the Dantian, forming a small puddle.

Old Master Chen looked at the movement in the quiet room next door, and a look of horror appeared in his turbid eyes.

Compared to the movement when Chen Qing was building his foundation, it is more than seven or eight times more powerful!
However, this kid actually set up another layer of formation. He is really careful.

This formation is quite powerful. Even an ordinary cultivator in the early stage of foundation building would not be able to see any clues from the outside.

He does things flawlessly. With such a character, his chances of success might be higher than Chen Qing's.

Old Master Chen looked excited, with two lines of tears of excitement in the corners of his eyes. If this boy could successfully build the foundation, he could go west with peace of mind.

With the protection of foundation-building monks in the clan, Yunwu Valley and Yunwu Mountain, the foundation that the Chen family has built over the years, are no longer to be coveted by the Liu family.

Thinking of this, Old Master Chen's aura reached its peak.

The last time Chen Qing was building his foundation, it was sabotaged by the Liu family, which led to failure, and he felt very guilty.

Even if I have to risk my life today, I must protect the Chen family's last hope.

Yunwu Mountain is dozens of miles away.

Liu Zhen and the ancestor of the Liu family stood on a mountain peak, looking at the Yunwu Valley below.

"Grandpa, the Chen family has mortgaged Yunwu Valley to Qingyun Sect. Are we just going to give up this precious land?" Liu Zhen's face was pale, and he seemed to be lacking in energy.

"I guess the Chen family won't hand over Yunwu Valley for nothing. They are just using the name of Qingyun Sect to recuperate. Once the five-year deadline is over, they will redeem Yunwu Valley!"

"But if they have another foundation-building person in a few years, things will be..."

The Liu family patriarch shook his head and said, "As far as I know, apart from Chen Qing, the only person in the Chen family who has reached the ninth level of Qi training is Chen Zishun, but he has been busy with worldly affairs for many years and is still a long way from building a foundation. More importantly, the Chen family no longer has the ability to obtain foundation-building pills."

Liu Zhen's eyes were sharp: "Should we just seize Yunwu Mountain first?"

"No, dying people are the scariest. Old man Chen is almost dead. He will definitely drag me down with him even if it means sacrificing his own life. That old guy can only live for another one or two years at most. It's not worth it."

"Zhen'er, you have taken the Bi Ning Dan to continuously break through realms, and your cultivation is approaching the perfection of Qi training. You should go back and practice well. When you succeed in breaking through, even if the Chen family has another foundation-building person, as long as you and I join forces to kill them, are you still afraid that we can't conquer Yunwu Mountain?"

The ancestor of the Liu family said earnestly that the Bi Ning Dan was specially used by cultivators in the late stage of Qi training to break through, and he spent a lot of money to get it from other domains.

Liu Zhen suddenly realized, "My grandson is anxious. I will go into seclusion when I get back and try to build my foundation in a year!"

Although taking the Bi Ning Dan will speed up cultivation, it will lead to an unstable foundation and a slightly lower success rate when building the foundation. However, the Liu family's foundation-building pill is of high quality, which just offsets the two.

Thinking that the past revenge could be taken soon, a look of satisfaction appeared on Liu Zhen's face.

Half a month passed.

The vortex of spiritual energy above the attic flashed a few rainbow-like halos, then slowly dissipated and returned to calm.

In the quiet room, a powerful pressure of foundation building suddenly emanated, like water waves, rippling outwards from the quiet room as the center.
