 Chapter 11: Building the Foundation

  Qin Shu slightly released his aura.

  Twelve level of Qi Refining.

  Just broke through last night.

  Qin Yue was shocked and took several steps back. "What a strong aura, stronger than me. What is your strength?"

  "The twelfth level of Qi Refining." Qin Shu said lightly.

  "Twelfth level of Qi Refining, how is that possible?" Qin Yue couldn't believe it, "I'm only at the fourth level of Qi Refining."

  Qin Shu said: "If you want to venture into the Abyss Fragment World again, that's fine. But I don't recommend you go."

  "You went there again?" Qin Yue was stunned for a moment. "You are really brave. You go close to a place that others try to avoid. If you are accidentally teleported to the complete abyss world, I want to see what you will do!"

  "I know what's going on." Qin Shu said.

  If you are timid, then you might as well not practice. It would be better to be a useless person in peace and stability.

  Qin Yue asked again: "Are you going to build your foundation?"

  "Well, I don't feel any bottleneck. It should be possible before school starts. Please keep it a secret for me." Qin Shu blinked at her.

  "Haha, okay! But you are still practicing too fast. Do you have any way to protect yourself?"

  Qin Shu said: "Qingping Sword Pill is my means of protecting the Dao."

  "That's right. You are now considered a swordsman. You are invincible in attacks of the same level."

  Qin Yue was a little envious. Although her Yu Ruyi could change into various methods, it was still a little inferior to Qingping Sword Pill in terms of attack.

  "After building the foundation, my cultivation should slow down, and then I can take you flying." Qin Shu said to Qin Yue.

  As cousins, they only see each other twice a year, but they still have a good relationship.

  Distance creates beauty.

  "Hehe, then I'll wait." Qin Yue said proudly.

  "But, do you really intend to hide your talent and stay in Branch 179? If you do that, you will basically not have any training resources."

  "Forget it, it's troublesome. Branch 179 is also good, at least it's quiet. After all, we are all bronze, right?" Qin Shu said with a smile. He was quite open-minded.

  "Okay, you decide for yourself." Qin Yue felt a little sorry for him.

  On the third day after communicating with Qin Yue, Qin Shu and his family left Qin's Farm.

  This time was different from usual, no one came to see me off.

  However, they did take away a lot of crops before leaving.

  Several tons of spiritual rice and a considerable number of spiritual fruits and spiritual fish.

  That's all, enough to last for half a year.

  Qin Wushang's farm can earn about 70,000 to 80,000 Soul Coins from its annual harvest after deducting 45% of taxes and costs.

  After adding the batch handed over to Emperor Gaozu, there were only about 50,000 left.

  If it were distributed equally to each child and grandchild, each person would only receive a few hundred Spirit Coins per year.

  Qin Yue has the support of Emperor Gaozu, so he will not have to worry about resources for his cultivation in the future.

  Qin Shu sat cross-legged on the bed, with a bronze card worth 800 soul coins in his space ring. He couldn't help but say, "You still have to rely on yourself to be a man."

  Closing his eyes and meditating, the profound meaning of the chapter on refining essence into qi in the Creation Hunyuan Sutra circled in his mind.

  He regarded himself as a Green Lotus seed, and the entire world as the soil for his growth.

  The Qi around us is nutrients, which constantly absorb the Qi between heaven and earth for our own use.

  The speed of the circulation of the true qi in the body is getting faster and faster.

  A vortex forms in the Dantian.

  A whirlwind composed of Qi also forms on the surface of the body, gathering all the Qi around it.

  After four days of such immersive practice, he completed the twelfth level of Qi Refining.

  It's time to lay the foundation.

  The foundation to be built is the foundation of the Tao.

  For the awakened one, the best and most suitable foundation is his own soul.

  Qin Shu looked inward at himself, and in his sea of ​​consciousness, the green lotus seed blossomed with a faint light of creation.

  He just looked at the Green Lotus Seed, imagining the scene when it took root and sprouted.  

  As the visualized green lotus seeds sprouted out, the Qi within a radius of several kilometers began to gather towards him.

  The spiritual energy storm enveloped the entire house, with Qin Shu as the center.

  The next moment, all 720 acupuncture points in his body opened up, and the true Qi of creation turned into green lotus roots that drilled out from these acupuncture points, taking root in heaven and earth and absorbing spiritual Qi.

  The spiritual energy enters the body, travels through the meridians of the whole body, and then returns to the Dantian.

  In the Dantian, the true Qi of creation accumulated more and more, and the vortex became bigger and bigger.

  At the very center of the vortex, the first drop of true essence of creation condensed.

  What follows is a chain reaction, where the true qi turns into liquid true essence, gradually forming a sea of ​​qi in the dantian.

  In the sea of ​​consciousness, the soul of the Green Lotus Dao Seed brought down the power of creation, condensed into the virtual image of a lotus seed, and sank into the sea of ​​qi.

  Then it grew rapidly.

  The lotus seeds sprout, rhizomes grow out, lotus roots are formed and buried deep in the Qi sea, the lotus leaves stretch and float on the surface of the Qi sea, the flower buds bloom, and the lotus sways gently with the surge of the Qi sea.

  It is what the Green Lotus Tao Seed looks like when it blooms for the first time.

  The foundation of the Tao has been established.

  The Qingping sword ball flew into the lotus and embedded itself in the lotus hole of the lotus pod to nourish itself.

  At this moment, mental power has completely transformed into spiritual consciousness, and spiritual thoughts penetrate the body and can influence the surrounding world with the spirit.

  Qin Shu successfully laid the foundation.

  He opened his eyes and felt the rich essence of nature flowing through his meridians.

  "Compared with the Qi Refining Stage, it's really like heaven and earth."

  He stretched out his hand, and his spiritual thoughts turned into a big hand, opening the door.

  This is the imperial object.

  The symbol of the foundation-building period represents his ability to control magical instruments and fly.

  The Qingping Sword Pill is mainly used for attack, but its size is too small to be suitable for flying with a sword.

  "Looks like I need to buy a means of transportation." He still has 800 soul coins, which is enough to buy a second-level flying sword.

  Flying with a sword can travel tens of thousands of miles a day, which on average is one thousand kilometers per hour, close to the speed of sound.

  It is the best choice for single-body flight.

  After breaking through the foundation, he has three days to prepare before being teleported to the abyss world.

  And three days later, he was going to the 179th branch of the Ares Academy.

  The days are all together.

  But you have to report to the university, otherwise you will be punished, which is equivalent to desertion, and it would be bad if you become hard labor.

  Therefore, Qin Shu decided to get out of the abyss within two days.

  When I opened the door, it was already early morning.

  "Fourth brother, have you finished your training?" Qin Hao looked at Qin Shu with his cute eyes.

  "Yes, the training is finished." Qin Shu picked him up and walked downstairs.

  Downstairs, Qin Qing and Qin Gui were studying.

  During the six years of primary school, the first three years are spent learning to read, and the last three years are spent beginning to learn the method of spiritual visualization.

  When I entered middle school, I began to learn various knowledge about the abyss world and deepened my practice of spiritual visualization.

  Before the age of eighteen, after completing the practice of spiritual visualization, the probability of awakening the soul will reach the maximum that one can achieve.

  Of course, a lot of it depends on luck.

  Some people may not be able to awaken their souls even if their souls are perfect.

  Some people who have just started learning spiritual visualization can also awaken their god-level souls.

  It depends on luck.

  Looking at Qin Qing, Qin Gui and Qin Hao, they are not lacking in luck.

  After all, they have been nourished by the true qi of creation for two months, and the power of creation has subtly changed their physical and mental conditions.
