Chapter 200 It’s a matter of course
"call--"

Fang Chen opened his eyes and exhaled.

Looking up, the moonlight shone through the skylight and fell on the Moon Goddess Flower and Moon Spirit Grass below, reflecting the light emitted by the two, forming a beautiful picture.

But he didn't have the mood to appreciate it now.

After more than a month of continuous refinement of his cultivation, his spirit, energy and vitality had finally reached the highest peak of Qi training, and he could begin to try to build his foundation.

Without any hesitation, Fang Chen adjusted his breathing and took out a small porcelain bottle from his storage bag.

More than a month ago, it was also here that Ye Qingyang handed him this porcelain bottle, which contained a foundation-building pill.

At that time, his condition had not yet fully met the requirements for foundation building. Even though he had spiritual awareness, second-level spiritual roots, and foundation building pills, and theoretically had a 100% chance of success, forcibly building the foundation would still involve considerable risks.

So he waited until today.

Polish everything about yourself to perfection to ensure a foolproof foundation.

Pulling out the small stopper on the porcelain bottle, Fang Chen poured out a pill about the size of an egg yolk, opened his mouth and put it in his mouth, but did not hold it.

Then he closed his eyes and silently recited the general outline of the foundation-building part of the Yin-Yang and Five Elements Sutra in his mind.

This general outline was created by Li Daoxuan based on the original part of the Five Elements Sutra that broke through the Foundation Establishment Period, with reference to the Foundation Establishment Period exercises purchased from the Star Moon Sea, and modified based on his understanding of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sutra.

Of course, it is impossible to transform magic power into true energy just by relying on this general outline.

After all, the general outline is just an introduction, and its purpose is to incite spiritual thoughts and magic power to confront each other.

What is true essence?

It's liquid mana.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly a pipe dream to expect it to transform on its own. It requires the help of another kind of power to condense it.

This will allow the magic power to become more and more condensed, and finally be transformed into true essence.

This other kind of power is naturally spiritual thought.

As the magic power becomes more and more condensed, the spiritual thoughts have to condense themselves in order to fight against it, and thus they will also be transformed into spiritual consciousness.

However, spiritual thoughts and magic power belong to the cultivator himself, so it is not easy to make them fight against each other.

The general outline of breaking through the foundation-building period is to solve this problem.

Under the guidance of the general principles, spiritual thoughts and magical powers will regard each other as enemies and constantly fight against each other, thereby refining themselves until the cultivator successfully builds his foundation.

Just by looking at this process, you can tell how difficult it is.

Many monks who have achieved great perfection in Qi training did not die of old age, but because during the foundation-building process, the conflict between their spiritual thoughts and magic power was too intense, and they were unable to suppress it, which led to them going astray.

He eventually died on the way to breaking through the foundation.

In the world of cultivation, this situation is also quite common.

The greatest function of the Foundation Establishment Pill is that it can control the conflict between magic power and spiritual thoughts within a reasonable intensity, ensuring that it will not affect the cultivator himself, thereby increasing the success rate of foundation establishment.

Even if the foundation building fails, there will be no possibility of going astray, and the cultivator can save his life.

With this information flashing through his mind, Fang Chen continued to recite the general outline silently. Soon, his spiritual thoughts and magic power began to fight in his dantian.

To be precise, it should be spiritual consciousness.

Thanks to the feedback from the Blood God Vine during his breakthrough, his spiritual thoughts were transformed into spiritual consciousness ahead of time. Therefore, in the battle with magic power, spiritual consciousness completely gained the upper hand.

The magic power was defeated step by step, and in order to fight against the spiritual consciousness, it began to gather together under the pressure of the spiritual consciousness, and collectively curled up in the cyclone of magic power.

Unfortunately, the spiritual consciousness was too powerful and directly pressed down on the entire magical cyclone, so that the entire cyclone began to slowly shrink under the pressure of the spiritual consciousness.

The magic power therein naturally became more condensed.

The vortex of mana that was a result of the great perfection of Qi training was ten inches in diameter. However, under the pressure of spiritual consciousness, it had become nine inches in diameter, the same size as the vortex of mana that was a cultivator at the twelfth level of Qi training.

But the quality of the magic power in it is far superior to the latter.

The spiritual consciousness was relentless and soon compressed the vortex of magic power to a radius of eight inches.

This is definitely not the limit of spiritual awareness.

Before long, it was seven inches in radius.

Six inches in diameter.

Five inches square.

Four inches square.

The magic power cyclone was getting smaller and smaller. Just when Fang Chen thought that he could successfully build his foundation without the help of the foundation-building pill, his spiritual consciousness suddenly stopped.

"what happened?"

As soon as this thought came to his mind, he figured it out.

The spiritual consciousness was too strong, and the magic cyclone had no power to fight back. Therefore, even if the general outline provoked a conflict between the two, when one side had a strong advantage, the other side simply surrendered.

The magic cyclone no longer resists, and the spiritual consciousness will no longer continue to compress the magic cyclone.

"Luckily I made preparations early."

Ye Qingyang had reminded him about this, and he naturally had ways to deal with it.

The second-level spiritual root entrenched in the Dantian emitted light and began to speed up the absorption of spiritual energy, then injected the spiritual energy into the mana vortex, where it was assimilated into mana.

With a constant supply of spiritual energy as a replenishment, the mana cyclone finally stopped being a mess and continued to provoke the spiritual consciousness.

Of course, the spiritual consciousness would not give in to it and immediately continued to compress the magic power cyclone.

Soon, the entire cyclone of magic power became three inches in radius.

Fang Chen could see wisps of misty magic power beginning to appear on the magic cyclone.

The magic power has begun to transform into business forms and has taken shape as the rudiments of true energy.

The process of the spiritual consciousness compressing the magic power cyclone was instantly hindered, and it began to take it seriously. With these misty forces between magic power and true energy, the magic power cyclone also stood up and fought back desperately.

The second-level spiritual root also absorbed the spiritual energy from the outside world at the fastest speed, and even provided the spiritual energy in the internal Five Elements Cave Heaven to the magic power cyclone, allowing it to compete with the spiritual consciousness. For a moment, the Dantian became extremely lively.

Spiritual roots, five elements cave heaven, magic power cyclone, and spiritual consciousness fought against each other, and the first three formed an alliance. Even though spiritual consciousness belonged to the power of the foundation-building period, it was still somewhat powerless after the three joined forces.

No matter how hard they try, they cannot shrink the legal vortex even a little bit.

This situation was unexpected for Fang Chen. He had originally intended to use his own second-level spiritual roots to quickly absorb the spiritual energy from the outside world as a backup for the mana vortex.

This is also the reason why possessing a second-level spiritual root in advance can increase the chances of a cultivator breaking through the foundation-building stage.

But no one expected that the Five Elements Cave Heaven would also participate in this struggle.

You should know that in the Five Elements Cave, there is a first-grade superior spiritual vein, which has as much spiritual energy as you want.

In an instant, the magic power cyclone, which was originally in a weak position, can withstand the compression of the spiritual consciousness.

Even with these two backings, the quality of the magic power itself is not high and cannot play a role in polishing spiritual consciousness.

It also caused the spiritual consciousness and magic power vortex to become stalemate in Fang Chen's dantian.

This is obviously not what he wants to see.

So he decided to stop absorbing spiritual energy and let his spiritual consciousness take the upper hand again.

Before he could do so, his spiritual consciousness had already begun to search for allies on its own.

It just so happened that there was something in Fang Chen's dantian that could provide help.

The ghost domain Yin Huai.

The combination of spiritual plants consisting of eighteen Yin Ling locust trees and Jie Qiao Ling bamboo contains a large ghost domain inside and can also absorb spiritual energy and transform it into Yin Ling power.

And absorbing the power of evil spirits can greatly increase the power of the soul.

The basis of spiritual consciousness is soul power.

So his spiritual consciousness multiplied its attention, continuing to suppress the vortex of magic power while exploring into the ghost realm.

"Ah? Master, what can I do for you?"

The tree spirit instantly sensed the spiritual consciousness's exploration and thought that Fang Chen wanted to understand the current situation in the ghost realm.

"No, this is a spiritual consciousness that has escaped the control of the master. Oh, the master is building his foundation and needs the help of the Yin spirit power?"

After being confused at first, he, who was proficient in soul power, immediately discovered the truth of the incident.

He immediately controlled the spiritual power of the ghost realm and injected it into this spiritual consciousness.

With the help of the Yin spirit's power, the power of spiritual consciousness also greatly increased, and it continued to compress the magic power cyclone.

Seeing this scene, Fang Chen did not stop absorbing spiritual energy and continued to watch the changes.

Not long after, the cyclone of magic power was further compressed by the spiritual consciousness to a two-inch radius.

At this time, the mana cyclone was already filled with misty mana.

It is no longer appropriate to call them magic power, after all, the mist is already in liquid form. However, if you want it to be called true essence, the mist needs to continue to condense.

Fang Chen called it half-true essence.

Anyway, it's just an intermediate state, so it doesn't matter what it's called.

After the overall transformation into semi-true essence, the confrontation between the vortex of mana and spiritual consciousness became more intense, and involved the spiritual roots in the dantian, the five elements cave and even the ghost realm.

Fang Chen felt that he could hardly control the struggle between the two.

You may go astray at any time.

However, the cyclone of semi-true energy was still being compressed, and it was about to become one inch in radius, which would also represent the success of the foundation building.

Even without the Foundation Establishment Pill, he still had a great chance of success.

However, to be on the safe side, Fang Chen swallowed the Foundation Establishment Pill that he had already held in his mouth.

As the foundation-building pill was digested in the body, the semi-true energy vortex and spiritual consciousness were replenished, but the intensity of the confrontation between the two decreased.

The half-true energy cyclone was still being compressed, but it was no longer like at the beginning. With every compression, he felt his Dantian trembling.

It seems like there is a risk of explosion at any time.

With the help of the Foundation Establishment Pill, everything went smoothly, and the spiritual consciousness successfully compressed the semi-true energy vortex to an inch in radius.

The originally free mist condensed together and turned into a drop of colorful water with a radius of one inch.

This is the true essence.

With the formation of true essence, spiritual consciousness was completely unable to affect the period, and Fang Chen also stopped silently reciting the general outline.

Without the suppression of spiritual consciousness, the drop of colorful water began to spin and formed a colorful vortex.

This is the vortex of true essence of the foundation-building cultivator.

The spiritual consciousness left, but the spiritual root did not stop absorbing spiritual energy. A steady stream of spiritual energy was injected into the true essence vortex and transformed into true essence flowing in the dantian.

"boom--"

When the amount of true energy is sufficient, a muffled sound comes from the dantian, and a ball of colorful flame appears in the center of the true energy vortex.

Real fire.

The weapon of the foundation-building cultivator can not only be used in combat, but also can assist in alchemy and refining. It is more useful than charcoal made from ordinary spiritual wood.

The formation of true fire also means that Fang Chen has officially entered the ranks of foundation-building cultivators.

Just as he was about to finish his training, some additional information suddenly appeared in his mind.

It has to do with his ability to grant spiritual plants properties.
