Chapter 30 The Way of Time, the First Trial of Building a Foundation
After taking the foundation-building pill, Wei Zhong left Mingyue Market and continued to move forward in the direction away from Qingmu Sect.
Three people popped up not far behind him, all wearing black clothes and hoods, covering their faces.
"Why did Lingnong go outside the territory of Qingmu Sect?"
"This is not a good idea. If we leave Mingyue Market, it will be more convenient for us to take action, right?"
Only the last person frowned secretly, and suddenly felt a little hesitant in his heart.
"Brother Liu, is it true that he has two foundation-building pills?"
"Of course, Qi Yun is quite secretive about forming two pills at a time. I'm afraid few people in the Dan Palace know about it. I just found out by chance, so I invited you two to help."
The two men's brows were even more delighted when they heard this, and one of them spoke first:
"I will not take any other items from Chu Zhong this time, I only want one foundation-building pill."
The other person followed up and said:
"Then the other foundation-building pill will belong to me."
After saying this, the two looked at Liu Di at the same time, and the latter sneered in his heart, leaving behind his slight hesitation.
"That won't do. Who knows how many spirit stones Chu Zhong has left in his pocket after asking someone to make pills? If you two want to distribute them this way, you need to give me one thousand spirit stones each."
The two people on the opposite side looked at each other, and one of them said:
"One thousand is too much, how about five hundred? The two of us will work together to give Brother Liu one thousand."
Liu Di shook his head:
"No, one thousand is too little, at least one thousand five hundred spirit stones are needed. You two should make a decision quickly, Chu Zhong is getting further and further away."
"In that case, I'll do as Brother Liu said."
As soon as these words came out, Liu Di was overjoyed.
It is difficult for casual cultivators to get foundation pills, but for Liu Di, who is an inner disciple of Qingmu Sect and even a disciple of Dan Hall, it is not so difficult.
In recent years, the output of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range has significantly alleviated the shortage of foundation pills in Qingmu Sect, and it is even better than the period when they only relied on the 'Qingchuan Secret Realm'.
After the discussion, the three of them immediately stepped on the flying swords and headed in the direction where Wei Zhong left.
As they walked farther and farther away, Wei Zhong finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the three men had finally caught up with him.
He thought that his headless flight had made the three men suspicious.
‘Fortunately, they followed. ’
Wei Zhong chose a direction that was rarely visited by people and sped up.
“No, he found us.”
“Chase!”
Wei Zhong fled further and further into the remote forests, and the three men behind him chased him closely. Suddenly, they saw Wei Zhong turn and dive into a large rock on the mountain, and disappeared in an instant.
“Disappeared, could it be a formation?”
The three stopped in front of the big rock and looked at each other.
Liu Di saw a man stretch his arm towards the rock and actually penetrated it directly.
“Cover the formation, the man is in it, chase.”
Without waiting for the other two to speak, his figure disappeared into it.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and then stepped into the rocks.
In a trance, the cultivator who entered first showed a look of ecstasy.
"Is this, a third-level spiritual land?"
The two who entered later felt the rich spiritual energy here and immediately fell into the same ecstasy.
Liu Di's surprise lasted only a moment, and then he thought, how could such a spiritual land be covered with a shallow concealing magic array.
Unless the other party did it on purpose.
Thinking of this, a chill continued to rise from the coccyx, and Liu Di could no longer suppress the panic in his heart. He urged the magic sword under his feet to turn around and flee in the direction he came from.
But after turning around, there was no way to come, just a golden spiritual field.
Just then, Wei Zhong's strange laughter sounded.
"Hehe, you entered my cave, and you still want to leave easily?"
After saying this, Wei Zhong's aura suddenly changed.
[Time and Space Daofa]
Wei Zhong instantly broke through from the ninth level of Qi Refining to the foundation building, and then reached the third level of foundation building with the remaining momentum, and was only one step away from the middle stage of foundation building.
"Dongtian? No, senior, please spare me. We two have no intention of offending you. It was him who bewitched us to steal your foundation-building pill."
Feeling the foundation-building aura on Wei Zhong, one of them was terrified and couldn't even speak smoothly. He pushed all the blame onto Liu Di.
"Oh?"
Wei Zhong didn't rush to do it, but watched the scene with interest.
Seeing that the casual cultivator he invited sold him out in a blink of an eye, Liu Di's face turned pale.
Looking at Wei Zhong again, he actually withdrew his magic sword and knelt down.
"Senior, please spare my life. I am Liu Di, an inner disciple of Qingmu Sect, and a first-level alchemist. I am willing to work hard for you from now on. Please spare my life."
As an inner disciple of Qingmu Sect who often comes into contact with those foundation-building cultivators, Liu Di clearly understands that there is an insurmountable gap between foundation-building and Qi-refining. Therefore, seeing that he couldn't escape, he knelt down and begged for mercy.
At the same time, he secretly cursed Wei Zhong in his heart. You are a foundation-building cultivator, why do you have to pretend to be a Qi-refining cultivator and make a big fuss to refine the foundation-building pill? Is there anyone in Mingyue Market who dares to snatch the pills of foundation-building cultivators?
"First-level alchemist? Unfortunately, first-level pills are probably useless to me. You three know the secret of my cave, so you'd better die now."
"Senior, I promise that I will become a second-level alchemist within ten years, no, five years, and I will definitely be able to be of use to you."
Wei Zhong ignored him at all, and the surging spiritual power in his body formed a spiritual arm to grab the three people.
The other two saw that the situation was not easing, and their faces became fierce, and they took out their portable magic weapons.
After all, he was a cultivator who had been on the edge of a knife for many years, and he was more bloody than Liu Di.
One person made a hand gesture, and suddenly a simple little sword flew out from the scabbard behind him. It was rusty and seemed to be stained with some filth.
Another person slapped a jade talisman on himself, and suddenly a bright light flashed, and a thin layer of golden light enveloped his body.
Then he took out a stone halberd, and he was a rare melee magic cultivator.
"Brother Liu begged for mercy, why don't you join us in resisting together."
It seemed that these words moved Liu Di, who took out a blood-red pill with a miserable look on his face and stuffed it into his mouth.
Under the stimulation of the drug, Liu Di's face was ferocious, and blood flowed from his eyes and ears. The spiritual pressure emanating from his body blew away his tied bun.
At this moment, Liu Di actually had a trace of the power of foundation building, which could be called half a step into foundation building.
The two people around him looked grim, and then they were delighted. It seemed that Liu Di's change gave them more confidence to fight against Wei Zhong.
Liu Di was miserable, with sadness in his eyes. He was finished. Taking this pill stimulated his potential, but also damaged his foundation. From then on, he could no longer advance to the foundation building stage.
Wei Zhong watched the three people perform their own methods, and his smiling face was even happier.
Sure enough, none of these ninth-level Qi Refining people were easy to deal with. For many years, they could not build their foundation due to the lack of foundation building pills, so they found other strange methods to improve themselves.
That strange flying sword was like this, and the golden body monk holding the halberd was also like this.
Especially Liu Di, he really deserves to be a cultivator of Qingmu Sect. He actually has a pill that can forcibly raise half a realm. Ordinary Qi Refining monks will really fail when they meet him.
He is quite powerful, just right for me to get familiar with this foundation building power.
Wei Zhong just used his own spiritual power to condense a spiritual power hand, and did not use any spells.
The spiritual power generated by practicing "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Art" is much stronger than ordinary exercises, and it has a sense of heaviness.
Especially in the current foundation-building realm where Wei Zhong is, the spiritual power is even heavier, and even the spiritual power in the body has a hint of black.
To outsiders, it seems to be mixed with ink, revealing an unstoppable momentum.
'It depends on whether you three can take my move. '
"Alas, no..."
Wei Zhong's face was instantly shocked.
"Liu Di, are you crazy?"
The cultivator holding the halberd, covering a gap in his chest, roared at Liu Di.
Liu Di slowly pulled his hand out of the other person's chest, and at the same time took out the magic sword pierced in his neck.
"Sure enough, those who practice body cultivation are hard to kill."
Liu Di shook the blood on his fist and magic sword, looked in the direction of Wei Zhong, and immediately rushed towards the casual cultivator without caring about chatting.
The monk behind him whimpered, but the blood flowing from his neck showed that he was not far from death.
His figure instantly fell from the air, and the strange rotten flying sword fell with it.
Wei Zhong saw Liu Di slashing with his sword, killing the other two monks in a few rounds, then picking up the spoils, coming to Wei Zhong, holding up the three storage bags in his hands and kneeling down in front of Wei Zhong.
He knocked his forehead to the ground:
"The two thieves have been killed by me, please spare my life!"
