Chapter 77 Cave House
After eating, Zhang Zhexue used a flying sword to flatten a flat land in the middle of the mountain that he had chosen, and then took out a cave on the mountain wall. He planned to live in this cave by himself and make the cave necessary for the foundation-building of the Old Taoist Yunshan. He planned to open it up on the peak on the west side, so that it would not only protect the Master Yunshan, but also not affect the Master Yunshan's retreat and breakthrough.
He created five bedrooms in the cave, one of his own, one of the old masters of Yunshan, and one of them for Cuihua and Hu Sier. The extra bedroom was also prepared for Hu Sier. Since Hu Sier was able to speak, Zhang Zhexue no longer treated her as a fox. A hall was also created in the cave, which was ten feet in size. One was also placed in the kitchen. After all, Cuihua still had to eat, and even the place where the grains of reincarnation was placed in a corner outside the cave. The layout of the entire cave was like his house in his previous life. The only regret was that there was no bathroom and the conditions did not allow it, so he had to settle it.
He was busy until the sun set, and the cave became a little different. He kept driving the flying sword to dig the soil, and at the same time he had to use magic to move the soil and stones out. After working hard for most of the day, Zhang Zhexue's true energy was also consumed a lot. Seeing that it was dark, Zhang Zhexue greeted Cuihua, asking her not to be afraid, and then released Leopard Three.
When Bao Sanyi came out, he started complaining: "My master, you think of me. I almost suffocated to death."
Zhang Zhexue smiled and said, "It's been very busy during this period, and I haven't settled down until today." He pointed around and continued, "This is my newly opened cave. I want to practice here for a while. You take your ghost brothers to clean up the place, and I'll rest here tonight."
As long as he could go out to move, Bao San didn't care what he did, and he also had his subordinates. Since the person above gave the order, he would then ask the person below to do it. Bao San stuffed his fingers into his mouth and whistled. A stream of black smoke appeared from the gourd floating in the air, and then it turned into ghosts with missing arms and legs, with ferocious faces, jumping around in the cave.
These ghosts are all transformed by remnants of souls, and their minds are all lacking. Some pounce on Zhang Zhexue, some make faces at Cuihua, and some rush towards Hu Sier. Seeing Cuihua being scared to hide behind him again, Zhang Zhexue shouted: "San'er, take care of you, these ghosts."
Bao San smiled and sucked his mouth and made a series of chirping sounds. I don’t know what he said. The ghosts immediately calmed down and floated in front of Bao San one by one, waiting for Bao San to give orders.
Leopard Three cried out again, and the ghosts immediately scattered, turning into a whirlwind, carrying the dust on the ground and flew outward. It turned out that many ghosts were powerful, and a huge cave was quickly cleaned up spotlessly.
Seeing that the cave was cleaned up, Zhang Zhexue took out some furniture and put it in the cave, and asked Cuihua to direct the ghosts and monsters such as Bao San to arrange the cave. Only then did the many benefits of his subordinates reflect. As long as these miscellaneous things are ordered, someone will naturally do it properly.
After arranging the work of Bao San and the others, Zhang Zhexue sat down in the cave, took a pill, and began to recover his true energy. Hu Sier was like a close bodyguard, sitting beside him to protect him.
Two hours passed, and when Zhang Zhexue finished his retreat, the cave was already well-decorated. Although the walls and roofs of the cave were still the original colors of the rocks, the ground was covered with thick carpets. The coffee tables, tables, chairs, counter cabinets, etc. were all placed in the place where they should be placed. These things were bought with Hui Ning'er, and they were put in storage bags, and now they were all used.
Many night pearls were hung in the cave, illuminating the cave and revealing it.
After the cave was cleaned up, Zhang Zhexue asked Bao San to let the ghosts go out, and asked him to clean up the snakes, insects, rats and ants around the cave to avoid being uncomfortable in the cave. Everything was arranged, Zhang Zhexue put a big holiday on Bao San, throwing the gourd in a corner of the hall without sticking a spell to facilitate the entry and exit of Bao San. As for Cuihua and Hu Sier, they naturally do whatever they want, sleep when they should sleep, and walk around when they should walk.
Early the next morning, Zhang Zhexue went to build the cave of the old Taoist Yunshan. This time, the flying sword sent a letter to the old Taoist Yunshan, and told him the location here, asking him to get the foundation-building pill of the Ge family, and then made a breakthrough in this retreat.
Originally, he wanted to teach Cuihua Shangqing Qi Refining Method himself, but found that this girl had a wooden head and couldn't get started no matter how she taught her. So he asked Hu Sier to teach her. It didn't take long for Hu Sier to teach her. Hu Sier was impatient and refused to teach her. Zhang Zhexue threatened and tempted her and did not work. In the end, he had to force Bao San to teach her. Bao San didn't want to work hard, but he couldn't resist Zhang Zhexue's "Tight Hoop Curse", so he had to bite the bullet and go on.
In three months, Zhang Zhexue has advanced to the seventh level of Qi refining. Just the day before, Cuihua finally condensed a true essence of hair thickness in her body with her tireless and patient efforts. For this reason, Zhang Zhexue specially held a dinner to celebrate Cuihua's great achievements, and also thanked Bao San, a teacher for her dedicated teaching.
Zhang Zhexue was sincerely happy. He didn't know how to tell whether a person had immortal roots, but Cuihua condensed this slightest bit of true energy, which at least shows that Cuihua has the qualifications to practice. As for the quality of this qualification, it doesn't matter. Anyway, if the innate is not good, then we will make up for it after tomorrow. The key is that Cuihua can practice so that she will not grow old easily, and let him, a white-haired person, give him a black-haired person. Two joys are coming, so we naturally have to celebrate well.
******************************
The Ge family finally got the three foundation-building pills that were obtained from Shangqing Mountain with great effort. Ge Teng personally sent one to the old Taoist Yunshan. The time when the old Taoist Yunshan broke through the foundation-building entered the countdown.
From the Great Perfect Breakthrough of the Nine Levels of Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment is not a simple matter. It is not like when you break through the Qi Refining layer, just look for a good day, and at most you can prepare some elixirs or something. Entering the Foundation Establishment means you truly embarking on the path of immortal cultivation, truly breaking away from the shackles of the acquired body, and truly transfer your body to the innate state.
The auspicious day for the old Taoist Yunshan to break through the foundation building is one month later. During this period, he must adjust his body and mind to the best state. If an ordinary cultivator at the ninth level of Qi refining needs to break through to the foundation building, he must prepare a lot of things. First of all, crystal stones. When the spiritual energy from the outside cannot be provided quickly, the important role of the spiritual stone will be reflected. It can be abundant spiritual energy for the monks to convert it into true energy and use it to fill the lack of true energy in the body.
Secondly, you need to prepare elixirs. From refining qi to building foundation, you need to refine your body and clean your marrow. Therefore, the consumption of true energy is huge. If the true energy is not good, you cannot complete body and clean your marrow. The foundation building will become a mirror flower and water moon. At this time, the elixir can directly provide true energy without having to be like crystal stones. You need to first inhale the spiritual energy into the body and then slowly convert it into true energy.
If he is a casual cultivator, if he wants to advance from Qi refining to Foundation Building, just crystal stones and elixirs will be enough for him to have a headache. In particular, elixirs are mostly mastered in those sects that cultivate immortals, because only the sects have the ability and financial resources to cultivate or provide for those alchemists. Because they cannot obtain enough elixirs, many Qi refining cultivators eventually suffer from Foundation Building.
The old Taoist Yunshan was lucky. Not only was the foundation-building pill enough for him to squander, but the crystal stones and elixirs were also enough for him to be promoted four or five times.
It is also a big event for the Ge family members to go into seclusion and break through to the foundation building. Therefore, no one in the Ge family except Ge Chengliang and Ge Teng knew about it. This is to prevent the other two families from deliberately destroying the foundation building of Yunshan Taoist after they learned the news. This happened between the three families, not once or twice.
In order to help the old Taoist Yunshan build the foundation, the Ge family still took out more than 4,000 crystal stones, which is equivalent to 20% of the Ge family's inventory. The savings of hundreds of years of Ge's family can only ensure the need for three or four people to build the foundation. Ge Chengliang failed to build the foundation twice, and consumed a lot of resources. This time, Ge Teng and the old Taoist Yunshan build the foundation at the same time, so the inventory of Ge's inventory was almost exhausted. As long as one of the two people build the foundation, the crisis in Ge's palace will be resolved by more than half.
Even the sect will look up to the immortal cultivation family that has a foundation-building cultivator, because no one dares to say that the immortal cultivation family will not produce a golden elixir ancestor. Therefore, the immortal cultivation sect will give a lot of tilt towards the family that has foundation-building cultivators under its command, and at least will fully provide resources to the foundation-building cultivators of the immortal cultivation family.
Faced with the largest family crisis in hundreds of years, the Ge family is also betting that the old Taoist in Yunshan can successfully build the foundation, and that after the foundation is successfully built, it can still help the Ge family overcome this crisis.
The old Taoist Yunshan sent a letter to Zhang Zhexue, telling him about the approximate time to leave the Ge Mansion.
It took more than ten days to stabilize the seventh level of Qi Refining. Zhang Zhexue estimated that the old Taoist Yunshan was coming, so he asked Bao San to clean up the cave where the old Taoist Yunshan was building the foundation.
Zhang Zhexue placed a lounge chair and a tea table on the flat ground outside the cave, and the tea table was filled with various food. Three lounge chairs were arranged side by side, Cuihua on the left and Hu Sier on the right, chatting while eating. Cuihua also rested today, and it was not good to practice tightly, so she had to combine work and rest.
The afternoon sun is not so fierce, and it is warm and comfortable when it is sunny on your body. Zhang Zhexue fell asleep in a daze, and Cuihua kept chatting with Hu Sier. After getting along with each other in the past few months, Hu Sier has accepted Cuihua. The main reason why she accepted Cuihua is that Cuihua is willing to chat. Of course, the more important reason is that they are all mothers, and as long as there are too many topics, they will soon become best friends.
When night fell, a sword light flew from a distance without any concealment. Zhang Zhexue was startled and asked Cuihua to hide back into the cave. He jumped onto the tiger roar himself. Then the other three flying swords were sacrificed, surrounded by him, protected his body, and greeted Hu Si'er. When the sword light flew closer, it was the old Taoist Yunshan who arrived, but he did not come alone, but came with a middle-aged man who was seriously injured and dying.
