"Yes! I have prepared all the pills to improve my cultivation, foundation building pills, and materials to assist in foundation building. This time I plan to build the foundation successfully before I get out of seclusion!" Jiang Chen said seriously.

At this time, Zi Xi nodded slightly, then took out a jade slip from her arms and handed it to Jiang Chen, saying, "This is some of my experiences when building foundations before. You can take them to see them. Maybe it will be of some help to build foundations!"

Jiang Chen was also very grateful and took the jade slip with a respectful look on his face.

"Senior Sister Zi, then I'll go back to seclusion first." He stared at Zi Xi again and said.

"Okay! I congratulate you in advance first. I hope you can see that you are already a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage by then!" Zi Xi smiled and said, "By the way! If you succeed in building the foundation, you can go to Xiangyang Prefecture to go to the Jingzhou branch of the Dan League there to participate in the alchemist qualification assessment. Now you are the chief alchemist of Chenxi Pavilion. But if you don't have the alchemist badge certified by the Dan League, it seems a bit unreasonable."

"Okay! I'll go right after I'm in seclusion!" Jiang Chen nodded and said.

"Well, I may be going to Qingmu Mountain in a while. You can build the foundation with peace of mind!" Zi Xi said with a lingering voice.

"Qingmushan? Senior Sister, where are you going? That's the front line of the border with the Blood Shadow Sect, it's dangerous!" Jiang Chen was shocked after hearing this.

"Haha, you don't have to worry about this! There must be a reason for me to go there! Don't worry! Maybe when you leave the seclusion, the situation of our Tianmo Sect will change!" Zi Xi smiled with a pursed lips.

Jiang Chen was suddenly moved. Even the Jindan stage ancestor like Zi Xi, who has such a high status in the Heavenly Demon Sect, went to the front line. I am afraid that the Heavenly Demon Sect will take some major actions against the Blood Shadow Sect.

However, my current identity and cultivation are too low. Naturally, I cannot learn more inside information. Moreover, with my own strength, investing in the Qi Refining Cultivator of the more than 100,000 Heavenly Demon Sect is just a drop in the ocean. Let’s build the foundation as soon as possible.

There are more than 100,000 cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, but there are only 2,000 cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage. The Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage are the true backbone of the Heavenly Demon Sect. Only after building the foundation can you have more say in the sect and the Demon Soul Peak, and you can take an important step towards the position of the sect leader.

Zixi and him said goodbye and left.

Immediately, Jiang Chen told Feiyu and Feimu that he would soon go into seclusion to impact the foundation-building period, and the time might be longer. If it is not a particularly urgent matter, don't disturb him.

The Fei brothers naturally agreed, saying that they would discuss with Uncle Kun if they had any questions. They would not bother him. They could let him go to seclusion and attack the foundation building.

After dealing with all this, Jiang Chenfang brought all the medicinal materials and foundation-building items he bought and returned to his cave. He was about to start formal retreat.

Jiang Chen went to the alchemy room first, and he needed to refine the four foundation-building pills he had prepared. In this way, the number of foundation-building pills in his hand could reach eleven. There was basically no need to build the foundation.

However, the progress of refining the foundation-building pill this time was more difficult than expected. At the beginning, no matter how he refined it, he could not succeed. Moreover, the energy consumed by the restoration of the foundation-building pill was quite large, and the restoration of the foundation-building pill consumed all the energy, which made Jiang Chen speechless.

He had to stop and then take Yuanqi pills suitable for monks in the late stage of Qi refining. He meditated and practiced to improve his cultivation.

After refining the foundation building pill for half an hour, you have to stop and meditate and practice for seven days. After the energy of the Demon Order is restored, he restores the materials and refines the pill again... and then fails again, repeating the above process.

It was not until half a year later that Jiang Chen finally successfully refined the first foundation-building pill. During this period, the senior brother Ran who was guarding the alchemy room was shocked, fearing that something would happen to him and that he would not be able to escape.

You should know that Jiang Chen is now a personal disciple of the Demon Soul Ancestor. He is the first genius in the history of Demon Soul Peak to win the first potential disciple in the sect examination. Even the Ancestor Tianyou praised his alchemy technique and asked him to refine elixirs. This made Ran Xingze very glad. He thought to himself that he had a good relationship with Jiang Chen. If he climbed Jiang Chen in the future, he would probably be much easier to survive in the sect.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen also knew that he had been in the alchemy room for too long. So three months later, he told Ran Xingze that he would refine elixirs in large quantities, which may last more than a year. So he hoped that he could buy a batch of food and water for him, and not disturb him if he had nothing to do. This made Ran Xingze breathed a sigh of relief.

After the first foundation-building pill was successfully refined, Jiang Chen's progress in refining the alchemy was much faster. With the first successful experience, the second foundation-building pill was refined two months later. The time was shortened by two thirds.

Three months later, the third and fourth foundation-building pills were finally refined, which finally made Jiang Chen feel relieved.

It took him a full eleven months and nearly fifty restores to finish the four foundation-building pills. Looking at the four yellow foundation-building pills lying in the small porcelain vase, the four yellow foundation-building pills with a rich fragrance. He felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. This was the foundation-building pill he had refined himself. In the sect, he probably couldn't find a second alchemist who could refine the foundation-building pills with his cultivation level in the Qi Refining Stage.

In the past eleven months, his cultivation level has improved a lot from the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage. Of course, there is still a little gap between the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage, but it is not a problem to spend some time practicing and taking pills to enter the Great Perfection.

"It's time to hit the foundation-building bottleneck!" Jiang Chen thought to himself.

With Ran Xingze's respectful voice, he walked out of the alchemy room, and then turned into a ray of light and headed towards the cultivation hall. He had made up his mind that he would never come out unless the foundation was successfully built.

This is also the advice Zi Xi gave him in the jade slip. Although he can also practice in his cave, the density of spiritual energy there is not much worse than that of the Cultivation Hall. According to Zi Xi, the difference is at least three times. If he goes to the Cultivation Hall to practice in seclusion, he will save a lot of money when he reaches the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Period.

Of course, the cost of practicing there is also very high. Not to mention that ordinary Qi Refining Cultivators cannot afford it. Even Foundation Establishment Cultivators will only rent them when they hit the bottleneck.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen won the first place in the potential disciple and received a large reward of spirit stones, so he could afford it.

He focused on how to take the Foundation Establishment Pill.

According to the jade slip given by Zi Xi, the foundation-building pill is taken directly, then the energy is used to digest the medicinal power, and then the medicine is used to open up the Ren and Du meridians, and finally break through the foundation-building bottleneck.

As for whether the foundation building can be successful, it mainly depends on his cultivation, spiritual root qualifications and luck. But with his rich family background with eleven foundation building pills, he will be ashamed if he fails to succeed.

However, Jiang Chen thought about it in his mind that he would start practicing immediately. It would take at least half a year to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining Stage. The reason is that the more spiritual power is, the more difficult it will be.

You know, Jiang Chen's cultivation is already very amazing. Because he took a lot of pills to improve his cultivation, he enjoyed another chance to soak in the Yin Spirit Pool. So it took him only two years from the first level of the Qi Refining Stage to the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage. But after that, it took him three years from the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage to the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage. It can be seen that the more you go to the back, the harder it is to practice.

After reaching the ninth level of Qi Refining Stage, it took a long time to start rushing to build the foundation. He also inquired from Bu Zheng that Bu Zheng has a double spiritual root qualification and it took him half a year.

Jiang Chen estimated that with his qualifications, it might take more time to build a foundation.

The deacon guarding the Cultivation Hall is a thin old man who is about sixty years old, with a goatee beard and a sallow face. However, his cultivation has reached the middle stage of foundation building, but he is not as good as Ran Xingze who guards the alchemy room, such a rookie in the Qi Refining Stage.

However, I don’t know if the disciples guarding these places on the Demon Soul Peak are sleepy. This person is now leaning on a bench at the entrance of the Cultivation Hall and is sleeping soundly. Even Jiang Chen doesn’t know that he has walked into the hall.

When he was awakened by Jiang Chen, he looked at the disciple who had only the Qi Refining Stage's cultivation level and looked angry.

Just as the old man was about to curse, Jiang Chen clasped his fists at him and said, "This uncle, Jiang Chen, is a disciple of Demon Soul Peak. Now he wants to rent a secret room in the cultivation hall to go to seclusion. Please help with the procedures!"

"Ah! You are Jiang Chen! Please come in and come in!" The thin old man's anger disappeared, and his attitude made a 180-degree turn.

"You are the potential disciples who ranked first in the sect exam last year!"

"I heard that you have superb alchemy skills. Even the Lord of Tianyou Peak wants to find you to refine alchemy. He is worthy of being a genius!"

"It's so gratifying to have achieved such a success after just six years of joining the sect!"

The thin old man immediately started to get around. After all, it would be very beneficial to him to be able to make friends with an alchemist whom even the ancestor Tianyou valued. Moreover, Jiang Chen is a potential disciple with the highest ranking, and his future in the sect will be bright in the future.

"Uncle Master has been awarded too much, so I was lucky enough to refine some elixirs, so Master Tianyou was wrongly loved and his cultivation speed was only slightly faster than that of ordinary disciples." Jiang Chen smiled slightly. He didn't expect that this story would spread so quickly, even the old guard of the cultivation hall knew about it.

The thin old man continued to praise: "Nephew Jiang Chen, you are such a young hero! The strength of our Demon Soul Peak has always been at the bottom of the Eight Demon Peaks. In previous major exams, it was either the last or the second to last. And now he was able to only be behind Tianyou Peak and become the second place. You have won the most jade pendants for our Demon Soul Peak! I heard that last year's major exams were the most."
