I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 165 Three Methods of Building a Foundation
Qi Shaowei originally wanted to give Li Qingyun a warning, but he had no idea that this unremarkable-looking disciple had trained his lower body so solidly, and the barbed sarcasm in his words sounded like naked mockery to him.

But in front of Feng Yaqin, Qi Shaowei couldn't get angry. He could only grit his teeth and glare at Li Qingyun. He enthusiastically invited Feng Yaqin to board the flying sword, then he jumped up himself, chanting some incantations and tapping his fingers.

The flying sword suddenly shone brightly and made a buzzing sound. The sword slowly rose into the air, and then suddenly accelerated, rushing towards the sky.

Along the way, the mountain breeze was blowing gently, the mist was lingering, and the clouds in the sky were dreamy and looked like a fairy palace.

Qi Shaowei seemed determined to take this opportunity to get closer to Feng Yaqin, and he used all kinds of clumsy tricks from time to time to try to get close to her.

"Junior sister, I specially washed these fruits in the mountains and brought them here. I heard that they are extremely beneficial for cultivation and health preservation."

He had a smile on his face and was holding a basket of fresh fruits in his hand, which he handed to Feng Yaqin attentively.

Feng Yaqin glanced at Qi Shaowei, but did not reach out to take it. She just politely and distantly refused:

"Thank you, Senior Brother. I appreciate your kindness, but I have already gone on a fast."

After saying that, she continued to stare at the sea of ​​clouds in the distance, her eyes clear and calm. Although she did not show any obvious impatience, her indifference that kept people at a distance was obvious.

However, Qi Shaowei was completely unaware of this. He grew up in Longhu Mountain and started practicing since he was old enough to understand. He was extremely emotionally dull and did not notice Feng Yaqin's indifference at all.

He prided himself on being handsome and talented, and always thought that the women around him should throw themselves at him. Therefore, he thought Feng Yaqin was shy and was too embarrassed to be too intimate with him because of the presence of his disciples. So he picked up a fruit and fed it to Feng Yaqin's mouth, saying with a drooling face:
"Fasting doesn't mean fasting. Have one. It's very sweet!"

Feng Yaqin couldn't help getting angry when she saw that he didn't know how to advance or retreat. A fierce look flashed in her eyes. Just as she was about to explode, she suddenly saw a hand reaching out and taking the fruit from Qi Shaowei's hand.

"Oh, Uncle Qi, this fruit looks sweet. Since my master is fasting, I'll try it on her behalf!"

Li Qingyun's voice broke the deadlock. He stuffed the fruit into his mouth with a playful smile and began to chew it without hesitation. "Mm, it tastes really good. Uncle Master, you are really an expert in choosing fruits!"

Qi Shaowei's smile froze on his face. Seeing Li Qingyun eating the fruit he had prepared for him without any scruples, anger suddenly rose in his heart, but he could not find an excuse to vent his anger.

Li Qingyun continued to grab a few fruits from the basket as if nothing had happened and handed them over:
"Uncle Master, you should eat something too. You're welcome."

This is obviously my fruit!
Qi Shaowei was about to explode in his heart, but he held back the words when they came to his lips. He couldn't argue with the younger generation over a few fruits and appear too stingy in front of his junior sister. He could only forcefully hold back his anger and snorted coldly:
"I'm also fasting..."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingyun pretended to be enlightened and said sincerely:

"Ah, so you are also fasting! Since you are not hungry, I will not be polite. Thank you for your kindness, you are really thoughtful!"

Then, he smiled and lifted the fruit basket towards himself, and continued to eat as if no one was around. His complacent look was so annoying.

Feng Yaqin watched coldly, knowing in her heart that Li Qingyun was trying to help her out by pretending to be stupid and offending Qi Shaowei. She couldn't help but feel grateful to him.

She saw again that Qi Shaowei's face had turned ashen, and he was so angry that he was fuming but had no way to vent his anger. She understood and couldn't help but smile.

Qi Shaowei was originally furious and was thinking about how to find a reason to teach Gao Renan a lesson, but when he turned around and saw the smile on the corner of his junior sister's mouth, his anger instantly disappeared, and all his dissatisfaction seemed to be smoothed out by that faint smile.

He subconsciously moved closer and continued to pretend to be a kind elder and said:

"Junior sister, you have just taken charge of Yuyuan Palace. If the disciples are disobedient, you can come to me and I will help you deal with them."

Feng Yaqin said softly, the smile on her face disappeared instantly, and she said coldly:
"My disciples are all doing well, so there's no need to worry about them."

Qi Shaowei curled his lips, glanced at Li Qingyun and said:

"That may not be the case. I think Gao Ren'an..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Qingyun patted his belly and interrupted him mumbling:
"Master, I'm full. When can you protect me and help me build my foundation?"

This well-timed interruption made Feng Yaqin feel as if she had been pardoned. She immediately turned to her disciple and said seriously:

"You are ready now. Building a foundation is not difficult. After we complete our mission and return to Mount Longhu, I will protect you and help you break through to the second realm."

Li Qingyun continued to ask seriously:
"Master, is there anything I need to pay attention to when building the foundation?"

Feng Yaqin said seriously:
“The foundation-building methods of our Longhu Mountain are divided into three types, from high to low, according to the degree of difficulty: heaven, earth, and human.

"The so-called foundation-building of humanity is to follow the steps. When the Qi is at its peak, use external force to break through the Yuan and open the orifices, and use your true Qi to build the foundation of the Tao. This method is the safest. It does not require any special methods, and there is no Tao disaster during the foundation-building process. There is almost no danger of losing control and collapse.

"You are too old, so this method is most suitable for you. When we return to Longhu Mountain, I will protect you and use the power of the Nascent Soul to break through the barrier."

Li Qingyun nodded and asked:
"What about the foundation building of the earth and heaven?"

Qi Shaowei had tried several times to get closer to Feng Yaqin, but was always interrupted by Li Qingyun. He had been very depressed for a long time. Now that he heard that Feng Yaqin was going to build his foundation at the "advanced age" of nearly 30 years old, he quickly took this opportunity to sneer and mock:
"With your age and qualifications, it is impossible for you to even build a foundation in the way of the earth, let alone the way of the heaven!"

Li Qingyun looked at Qi Shaowei and asked with a smile:

"Master, what is your foundation-building method?"

Qi Shaowei said proudly:

"Like Junior Sister Feng, I am also building a foundation in the underground way. This method of building a foundation is only suitable for people with extraordinary talent and perfect harmony with the five elements of true qi. It also requires a specific five-element spiritual treasure to be injected into the body as a cornerstone, and finally refined into the spirit, and survived the Dao tribulation before one can build an underground foundation."

His tone was high and his eyes were bright, and he was obviously very proud of his achievements. He continued:

"The five elements of true qi produced by the underground foundation are extremely pure. Once successful, it is far beyond the reach of the mixed human true qi. Under the same realm, the strength of the two kinds of foundation cultivators is completely incomparable. Moreover, the cultivators who build the underground foundation will go further on the road of cultivation in the future."

Li Qingyun asked again:
"Then what is the Heavenly Dao Foundation Building?"

Qi Shaowei sneered, as if unwilling to waste any more words, and said impatiently:
"Why are you thinking about these things? The requirements for building a foundation in the Heavenly Dao are more stringent, and when breaking through, you will encounter three tribulations, each one more difficult than the last. If you are not careful, you will lose control and collapse, and die.

"In our sect, besides the Heavenly Master himself, only our great-uncle, the Five Thunder Immortal Zhang Mingyi, went through the Heavenly Dao Foundation Building process. After they built their foundations, they were far ahead of their peers in cultivation and are now the top figures in the world."

Li Qingyun listened to Qi Shaowei's endless showing off and couldn't help but murmur in his heart. It seemed that this method of foundation building was closely related to future cultivation and could not be done carelessly.

If he wants to enter the Tianshi Mansion, he must show enough talent. Simple human foundation building may not even catch the eyes of the core masters of Longhu Mountain. However, Gao Renan's talent in the Tao is limited. If he uses his magical powers to deduce the foundation building method under Feng Yaqin's nose and conceal the truth, his identity will be exposed.

He was in a dilemma for a moment and had no idea what to do next. Seeing that Li Qingyun remained silent, Feng Yaqin thought that he was depressed about his foundation building, so she comforted him gently:
"Gao Ren'an, you don't have to be depressed. Most of the cultivators in Longhu Mountain build their foundations in the human way. Although this method is not as powerful as the underground way, it is more stable and safe.

“And with your talent for alchemy, as long as you study hard and practice diligently in the future, you may be able to become famous!
"Once you refine a top-grade immortal elixir, you will also have the opportunity to change your fate and achieve a first-grade golden elixir and a top-grade immortal infant. Why worry about the road ahead being smooth?"

The flying sword broke through the air at lightning speed. In more than an hour, it crossed the territory of the Song Dynasty from Xinzhou, Jiangxi, and reached the bitter and cold land of Liaodong in the north.

The scenery on the ground gradually changed from the beauty of the south to the grandeur of the north.

I saw the earth covered with white snow, the mountains and rivers were vast and boundless, open and full of endless heroism.

Along the way, every time Qi Shaowei wanted to talk to Feng Yaqin, he was interrupted by Li Qingyun using various excuses about cultivation issues. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth secretly, with anger burning in his heart, but he could not find a chance to vent.

The smile on his face had already become stiff.

Just as they were approaching their destination, suddenly a sharp and piercing cry for help came from below the flying sword, piercing the sky, with every cry so shrill and heart-wrenching.

Feng Yaqin frowned and immediately looked down, only to see a dozen monks running wildly. Not far behind them, overwhelming black clouds were rolling in, like a flood or a ferocious beast, approaching rapidly.

Countless hideous and twisted shadows were faintly visible in the dark clouds, and a murderous aura was overwhelming.

Those monks seemed exhausted. They fled in panic and shouted for help.

Feng Yaqin looked at Li Qingyun with a slightly cold gaze and said:

"There are evil spirits raging ahead. Your Master Qi and I are going to slay them. You must be careful and don't get close."

Then he said to Qi Shaowei:
"Brother, let's go down and take a look."

Qi Shaowei had a rare opportunity to show off his skills and win the favor of his junior sister, so he quickly raised his head and chest, pinched his hands to make a spell, and the flying sword suddenly swooped down with a whistling sound.

As soon as the flying sword landed, Feng Yaqin leaned over and jumped down lightly, her clothes fluttering in the wind, like a fairy descending to earth.

She stood in the air, and the two swords behind her flew out like wild geese from the sky, transforming into two thunder dragons and electric pythons, which rushed into the thick black fog with a roar.

Wherever the lightning sword light went, several filthy and strange shadows were instantly shattered into pieces, letting out shrill screams.

However, the gnawing sounds of countless ghosts in the black fog were still overwhelming like a tide, sweeping over.

"Junior sister, I'm here to help you!"

When Qi Shaowei saw this scene, he was frightened and quickly shouted and stepped forward.

He formed seals with his hands and silently chanted the Taoist Golden Light Mantra:

"The Xuanzong of Heaven and Earth, the fundamental root of Wan Qi. Cultivate for thousands of kalpas and prove my magical powers..."

Before he finished speaking, the golden light in the sky turned into javelins, whizzing out, piercing through the sky and rushing into the black fog.

The two "Master Priests" of Longhu Mountain attacked together with great power. The enormous impact force caused spider-web-like cracks to appear on the land over an area of ​​dozens of feet.

Suddenly there were thunder and lightning, grass and trees were broken, dust was flying, the whole place was in chaos, as if the end of the world had come.

But I saw a flying sword flying across the sky, golden light like a dragon, roaring and moving around. Wherever it went, countless low-level ghosts turned into ashes and disappeared.

When the fleeing monks saw reinforcements coming, they immediately perked up and stopped running away in panic. Instead, they stood aside and watched the battle.

However, the black fog was so thick that the ghosts in it were countless and could not be killed, and new ghosts kept emerging.

Although the two Yuanying masters used all their tricks and were exhausted, they still could not eliminate all the ghosts.

Qi Shaowei saw that the situation was not good, so he shouted:

"Junior Sister Feng, you take the others and escape first. I'll cover your rear!"

Feng Yaqin was also panting at this time, feeling a little exhausted, but there was still a hint of determination in her eyes:
“We must eradicate all evil. If we leave these evil spirits alone and allow them to possess ordinary people and evolve into evil spirits at will, it will definitely lead to disaster!

"I still have some pills here, so I can hold on for a while!"

Just as she finished her words, a ghost with flames in its eyes suddenly rushed out from the side. Feng Yaqin was caught off guard and her right sleeve was bitten instantly, with a large piece of cloth torn off.

She quickly shook her wrist, and the sword light strangled the ghost to death. She quickly swallowed two pills and continued fighting in the black fog.

Seeing this, Qi Shaowei did not dare to retreat, and could only bite the bullet and go forward, secretly anxious in his heart:
"Why are there so many ghosts? Where did they come from? At this rate, the two of us are no match for them..."

At this moment, a whistling sound broke through the air, and a huge black shadow came across like a mountain, instantly covering the battlefield.

The two looked up and saw a terrifying monster several meters tall, with three heads and six arms falling from the sky. He had knotty muscles and stood upright, like a demon crawling out from the depths of the underworld.

"What kind of evil is this!"

Qi Shaowei was so frightened that his face turned pale, his feet slipped, and he staggered, almost being pounced on by two ghosts.

He just took a breath of true energy and prepared himself for the battle, but suddenly he found that the horrible monster rushed into the black fog like a whirlwind, with lightning surrounding its body and murderous aura. Its six giant arms as thick as tree trunks were waving wildly, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

In an instant, countless ghosts screamed and turned into ashes under his attack.

"This……"

Qi Shaowei was stunned on the spot, staring at the scene in front of him in amazement...
