Chapter 171: Own way

"Yes, it's Jidan. [Full text reading] Junior brother still doesn't understand Jiji, do you want me to explain it to you?" Yunli smiled and looked at Zhou Shu with sincerity.
For Zhou Shu, who did not have a master, this was a rare opportunity. He hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Senior Brother Yun, please give me your advice, and my younger brothers listen carefully."
For the cultivator, building a foundation is the real threshold for cultivating immortals. From then on, it is reborn, no food is needed, no sickness, no more mortals.
There are three ways to build the foundation, directly build the foundation, build the foundation with the foundation pill, and build the foundation with the spiritual object.
After the cultivator reaches Consummation, he can directly build the foundation. The advantage is that nothing is spent. The disadvantage is that once the foundation fails, the cultivator has only two endings. Either the body will disappear or the spirit will be severely injured. He may not be able to recover in eight years, and the possibility of serious injury is many times greater than death.
Because of this, many practitioners are stuck in the Qi refining realm and are not daring to build a foundation. For example, the two secret practitioners of the Zhang family will lose their value if they fail to build the foundation, and the consequences are worrying.
And if you build a foundation with a foundation building, there is no such worry.
The foundation pill will not increase the success rate of the repairer, nor will it increase the strength of the repairer, but it can perfectly protect the repairer. The repairer who builds the foundation with the foundation building will not die even if the foundation fails, and even if the spirit is damaged, it only takes a few months to recover.
But Zhu Jidan is not so good.
This kind of no-grade pill is worth more than 20,000 middle-grade spirit stones, and it is difficult to buy.
This is because the materials needed for refining Jidan are various and precious, ranging from Tier 1 to Tier 4. Basically, only the larger sects can collect all the materials. Even if there are alchemists in the small sects, they can’t find the materials. system.
In the world of cultivating immortals, most cultivators build foundations directly, and very few cultivators can afford to build foundations.
After hearing the introduction of the two kinds of foundation building, Zhou Shu pointed to the spirit grass, "Brother asked me to choose one of the two. Is that spirit grass the spiritual object for foundation building?"
"Yes, it's called Ningjian grass. The third-order spirit grass is also used for foundation building, but..." Yun Li stopped talking.
"but what?"
Yun Li stared at Zhou Shu, saying every word. "Use the condensed sword grass to build a foundation. If you fail, you will definitely die."
"The key is what are the benefits?"
Yun Li's expression was quite cautious, and he said the third way to build a foundation.
Use spiritual objects such as Lingcao Lingyu Lingguo to attack the foundation.
The use of spiritual objects in the process of building a foundation may cause the repairer to take off the mortal womb at the same time. Let the spiritual creatures transform the body to obtain certain characteristics of the spiritual creatures. For the cultivator, this can only be achieved at the only pass through which the foundation is built to escape the world, and it is not possible at any other time.
But the advantages and disadvantages of this approach are very obvious and polarized.
The success rate of foundation building decreases, and the practitioner will endure tremendous pain. Once the body cannot stand it and the foundation fails, he will die immediately. There is absolutely no other possibility, but once it withstands it, according to the fit between the spiritual creature and the practitioner, the practitioner will get additional benefits-stimulate potential and increase strength. The higher the fit, the greater the benefit. With a perfect fit with the cultivator, the cultivator may acquire a special characteristic, but the probability is very low. There is no one.
If Zhou Shu realized something, "Condensing sword grass, if you use it to successfully build a foundation, will it be of great benefit to sword repair?"
"Yes. It is rumored that Sword Condensing Grass was transformed by the sword intent of ancient power. If it is successfully used to build a foundation, the cultivator may be more friendly to the sword, and it will be easier to understand the sword intent. If it fits perfectly, you can even understand it. Ancient sword intent, but this probability is close to zero. Don't think too much."
Yun Li looked at Zhou Shu quite cautiously, "Now you can choose carefully. Be cautious. This is a very crucial step for the cultivator."
"Thank you, brother, for your guidance, brother is grateful."
Zhou Shu saluted seriously.
The foundation-building problem bothered him before, but he didn't want to get a clear solution now.
Yun Li’s guidance was extremely detailed, and after a full half an hour, he also learned a lot of knowledge that was not available in the classics.
Zongmen gave him such a rare Jidan, which can also represent sincerity. It seems that after several tests, he has really been recognized by the Zongmen.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Shu suddenly said, "Can you choose them all?"
"No, they cannot be used at the same time."
Zhou Shu nodded, "Then I want to build a Jidan."
"You choose to build Jidan?"
Yun Li was stunned for a moment, and his eyes looked at Zhou Shu with a lot of surprises. After only a moment, the surprise turned into disappointment.
Zhou Shu nodded and repeated, "Yes, Zhu Jidan."
Yun Liwei sighed, "Junior Brother chose the right way. If you build the foundation with Ning Jiancao, you will die if you fail. It is really hard to accept. It makes sense to choose a stable foundation."
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Zhou Shu and couldn't help but said again, "But brother, have you ever thought that no matter what method is used to build the foundation, the success rate will not increase. Instead of mediocre foundation building, it is better to give it a try? , Achieve greater success."
This sentence is indeed a well-intentioned, teaching like a teacher.
Yun Li, who is about to congeal his veins, is very clear. In the world of cultivating immortals, foundation building is a watershed. Most accomplished cultivators build foundations with spiritual objects. Only if the starting point is one step higher will they surpass ordinary people in the future. And Jidan is only for mediocre people. With Jidan, it is difficult to have a good future unless there is a great opportunity.
As a senior who has been following Zhou Shu, he does not want Zhou Shu to become a mediocre person after seeing Zhou Shu's various performances.
When Zhou Shu heard Yun Li's words, he was very grateful, "Thank you, Brother Yun, for your guidance, I understand it in my heart."
Yun Li frowned, "I understand why I chose Jidan?"
Zhou Shu laughed, "Because building a foundation is expensive."
An anger flashed in Yun Li's eyes and scolded, "Absurd!"
"Senior brother, don't get angry," Zhou Shu explained quickly, "The first is indeed because the base pill is rare and expensive, and it is of course necessary. The second is because I don't need the sword grass, but I still use spiritual objects to build the foundation. Strive for a higher starting point."
If Yun Li had some enlightenment, he looked at Zhou Shu with doubts, "Oh? You mean to use other spiritual objects?"
"Correct."
Zhou Shu nodded seriously, "If I use Condensed Sword Grass to build the foundation, then I will determine the direction, and I will be destined to be a sword repairer in the future. I don't want this, so I don't need Consolidated Sword Grass."
"Is sword repair bad?"
Yun Li was quite puzzled, "In my opinion, although your qualifications are not good, you are very talented in sword art, and can resist the Chunhui sword intent of Elder Shen, which shows this. If you concentrate on sword repair, you will probably succeed. Not to mention Yuan Ying, the golden core shouldn’t be difficult, but if you are distracted by other things, you may get nowhere. Otherwise, physical cultivation is fine. I can persuade Elder Shen to replace Ningjian grass with black fish."
Yun Li said sincerely, and Zhou Shu was grateful, but still shook his head, "Brother, I practice swordsmanship, but I don't practice swordsmanship, I practice physical training, and I don't practice physical training. I don't want to do anything."
Zhou Shu has always had his own thoughts. He will not do pure talismanic or sword repairs, and practice or something. That is tantamount to self-limitation. His goal is to grow into an immortal without focusing on swords and talisman. Such things, those are just means to cultivate immortals, not ends.
He has the ability to deduct and calculate, no matter what he does, he can get twice the result with half the effort, pill talisman sword formation and even Zen, etc., when he will dabble, he will not be limited to one point.
"Sword training, but not sword training, physical training, but not physical training?"
Yunli paused and thought for a while, "So, I understand, but your idea is simple. If you don't devote yourself to everything, it will be difficult to get the Tao in it. What are you talking about cultivating immortality? All cultivators gain the Dao from one thing, first obtain the Dao and then become the immortal. Such as kendo, alchemy, etc., they have been accumulated for thousands of years, full of truth, as long as they understand thoroughly They are very promising when they become immortals."
"Senior brother has a point."
Zhou Shu nodded ~EbookFREE.me~ for a moment of silence, then raised his head, eyes flashing with an unusual look, like stars, "Most of those swordsmanship talismans have been passed down through thousands of years. It does contain the method of becoming immortal, but how many people in the world have obtained the Tao to become immortal? Very few, only one hand can count. Instead of trying to find the method of becoming immortal among the countless swords and pill cultivators, it is better to try to create yourself The way."
"Own way."
Yun Li muttered a few words, staring at Zhou Shu, "Junior Brother's ambition is really breathtaking."
For the first time, his face showed a surprised expression, even with a little admiration. Now Zhou Shu is already very different in his eyes.
Zhou Shu shook his head quickly, "Senior brother talked a lot, making the senior brother laugh."
Yun Li shook his head, "Since you have such ambitions, I won't say much, I hope you won't regret it in the future."
Zhou Shu is very serious, "I have chosen the road myself, and I will definitely go down."
