What’s the point of cultivating immortality if you don’t have money?.

Chapter 253 The Gap between Qi Refining and Foundation Building
While Bai Zhenzhen was fighting fiercely with many Qi-refining masters, Zhang Yu also planted the spiritual root he had obtained into his Dantian, starting the fusion of the spiritual root and the physical body.

The spiritual root that Zhang Yu chose to build his foundation this time was the Qi Hai spiritual root.

Fu Ji said: "Different spiritual roots will have very different effects after building the foundation."

"If you use combat spiritual roots to build your foundation, your combat power will increase more rapidly after building your foundation, but in the long run, it is not as promising as cultivating spiritual roots."

"But after you complete your foundation building, you will need to fight. Some pure cultivation spiritual roots... are not suitable for your current situation."

"After thinking about it, I think this Qi Sea Spiritual Root is most suitable for you."

Zhang Yu agreed with Fu Ji's suggestion.

The Qi Hai spiritual root is nicknamed the Wall-Piercing King. Its biggest advantage is that its coverage area is large enough. It can also penetrate various walls, buildings, mud, sand, earth and rocks to collect spiritual energy over a large area.

It can not only enhance the efficiency of his future mana training, but also improve the effect of his mana recovery in battle.

If one builds his foundation with the Qi Sea spiritual roots, one can improve both his cultivation potential and combat effectiveness.

As Zhang Yu introduced the Qi Hai spiritual root into his Dantian, it seemed as if it had taken root and sprouted, extending out crystal-like roots that penetrated into the surrounding magic power.

In an instant, inspiration from all around him swarmed in and poured into Zhang Yu's dantian along with his breathing.

Next, as Zhang Yu continuously injected magic power into the spiritual root in his Qi Hai, the spiritual root seemed to be stimulated by something and continued to take root and sprout, spreading towards the entire Dantian.

After Zhang Yu injected 60 units of mana into his spiritual roots, the spiritual roots underwent a qualitative change. Crystal-like tentacles spread and grew along the meridians.

The entire Qi Hai spiritual root began to originate from Zhang Yu's Dantian and gradually merged with the meridians throughout the body, becoming a part of Zhang Yu's body and his new organ.

boom!
As the spiritual roots gradually merged, more and more spiritual inspirations came pouring in, and Zhang Yu could feel that the range in which he could gather spiritual inspirations was getting larger and larger.

From the initial 50 meters, it gradually expanded to 60 meters.

80 meters...

100 meters!
At this moment, Zhang Yu felt as if he had become a huge funnel between heaven and earth, madly devouring the spiritual energy within a hundred meters.

"After becoming a part of my body...is this the true power of the Qi Sea Spiritual Root?"

At the same time, as the Qi Hai spiritual root took root and sprouted completely in the Dantian, the tentacles of the spiritual root merged with his meridians throughout his body. Zhang Yu felt that with every breath he took, the pores all over his body were breathing in the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

The speed at which inspiration and magic power circulated in the meridians suddenly increased by several times.

If the original circulation of magic power in the meridians is like a car driving on a mountain road.

From this moment on, Zhang Yu once again circulated his magic power through his meridians, just like a car driving on a highway.

The efficiency of mana breathing, operating speed, mobilization scale, output scale...all skyrocketed at this moment.

And with the crazy improvement in the efficiency of mana, Zhang Yu's cultivation in the way of immortality also underwent a qualitative change.

A flash of enlightenment flashed through Zhang Yu's mind: "Mana power... is like the power source of the immortal way."

"As the efficiency of this power source increases dramatically, the operation of all my exercises and the effects brought by the exercises have been improved."

"It's like installing an engine on a bicycle..."

As spiritual inspiration poured in, Zhang Yu's magic power, which had just been consumed due to the fusion of spiritual roots, also began to recover rapidly.

Even after the mana is restored to 100 units, the refining of mana does not stop.

boom!
In an instant, the original limit was broken, Zhang Yu's mana directly broke through to 100.1, and then continued to increase rapidly upwards.

Obviously, with the fusion of spiritual roots, Zhang Yu's mana limit was also broken.

This rapid increase in mana did not slow down until after 180, and finally stopped at 198.4.

After the magic power in his body surged beyond the limit, driven by the magic power, Zhang Yu's heart of Tao also began to stir.

So Zhang Yu visualized the crippled cow in his mind and began to practice his mental method.

It is not the Canniusheh mind and body technique of the Qi Refining Period, but the Canniusheh mind and body technique of the Foundation Establishment Period authorized by Deng Bingding this time.

Roar!
The crippled cow in my mind seemed to roar towards the sky, and the mud around it rolled and surged, as if it had turned into a pair of black hands that were about to drag it into the depths of the quagmire.

But the body of the crippled bull had become much larger, with various scars including knife wounds, sword wounds, burns, etc., but it was filled with a sense of holiness and emitted a faint white light.

The white mutilated ox seemed to be more and more proud and unyielding in the rolling black mud.

Dao Heart Level 10 (100.0%) → Level 11 (0.1%)

After his magic power and spiritual aspirations broke through successively, Zhang Yu already felt his physical body stirring.

His muscles twisted all over his body, and the surging magic power was transformed into the magic power of immortality. He began to practice the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen in the foundation-building period.

The body was like long-dried land, madly absorbing the nourishment of the immortality magic power, and then it also broke through the boundaries, increasing the physical strength to level 10.01.

Dao Heart Level 11 (0.1%)

Mana 198.4
Physical strength level 10.01

Feeling the surging power in his body, Zhang Yu understood at this moment that he had truly entered the foundation-building stage.

From this moment on, his Taoism, magic power, and physical body can continue to improve.

The upper limit of the Tao heart level is 20, the upper limit of mana is 1000, and the upper limit of physical strength is 20.

However, Zhang Yu did not continue to cultivate his Taoism, magic power or physical strength, because it is difficult to make significant improvements in these in a short period of time.

At this moment, he urgently needs to improve his combat effectiveness, so the best way is...

Zhang Yu looked at the Jiuxiao Yunkong Jin on his phone.

This is the last foundation-building technique that Deng Bingding gave him, in addition to the Canniushe Body and Mind Technique and the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen. It is also the so-called pre-military-grade technique.

Combat technique - Nine Skies Clouds Sky Power Level 0 (0/1) After switching the feather book to Nine Skies Clouds Sky Power, Zhang Yu also began to practice this technique that can only be practiced in the foundation-building period.

"Nine Skies Cloud Power... a foundation-building technique created by the creator of the Infinite Cloud Hand."

"It's the same as Wuji Yunshou. It doesn't emphasize the moves. There are only three moves back and forth. It's convenient for me to practice."

As Zhang Yu finished practicing the Nine Skies Cloud Power for the first time, countless images flashed through his mind, and his understanding of this technique was completely complete.

Nine Skies Cloud Power Level 1 (0/10)

"This technique and Wuji Cloud Hand are completely of the same origin..."

"This is a technique that was tailor-made for me. Did Deng Bingding do this on purpose?"

When Zhang Yu practiced the Jiuxiao Yunkong Jin to the 5th level, he could feel that the power of this military-grade technique had surpassed any of his actual martial arts.

But Zhang Yu no longer had the heart to continue practicing.

After all, the longer he practiced, the greater the danger Bai Zhenzhen would be in.

So Zhang Yu flashed and rushed towards the battlefield where Bai Zhenzhen was at full speed.

……

As soon as Zhang Yu arrived at the battlefield, he saw Bai Zhenzhen being captured by Zhou Yang.

Although he did not recognize Zhou Yang after his changed appearance and figure, it did not prevent a strong murderous intent from surging in Zhang Yu's heart.

198.4 units of mana roared wildly in the body, transforming into streams of milky white formless clouds that gushed out.

Without using the newly cultivated Nine Skies Cloud Power, after all, this was his current hidden killer move, Zhang Yu only used the Wuji Cloud Hand at this moment.

In the past, when Zhang Yu used the Wuji Cloud Hand, the internal energy could only cover an area of ​​several meters.

At this moment, after merging with the Qi Sea spiritual root and entering the foundation-building realm, Zhang Yu's mana limit, mana dispatch efficiency, and output efficiency all far exceeded the Qi Refining limit.

In the blink of an eye, the formless cloud had enveloped the battlefield within dozens of meters around it, like a thick fog rising.

Zhou Yang was slightly stunned when he heard the voice coming from the thick fog, and the next moment he saw the other party coming across the sea of ​​clouds.

At the same time, the formless clouds around him had unknowingly attacked, like undercurrents under the sea, entwining Zhou Yang's hands and feet, blocking his movements.

boom!
Zhang Yu gently slapped Zhou Yang with his palm.

Zhou Yang took over subconsciously, using the Zhou family's frosty aura, and waves of palm power filled with resentment and corpse-chilling energy blasted towards Zhang Yu.

The two palms collided with a slight bang, and Zhou Yang's face suddenly changed. He felt that the opponent's palm seemed insignificant, but until it really came into contact, he felt how fierce the formless cloud energy contained in it was.

If the icy air he blasted out was like a gurgling stream, then the strong energy blasted out by the opponent's palm was as surging as the Yangtze River.

The Wuxiang Yun Gang tore through the frost like a rotten wood and poured into Zhou Yang's body, exploding his meridians and shattering his tendons and bones...

Amidst the loud bangs, Zhou Yang's right arm shattered into a ball of bloody mist.

After Zhou Yang was severely injured by the palm, he fell to the ground, his heart was shaking wildly: "Build...Build a foundation! This is the level of mana output that can only be achieved in the foundation-building realm!"

Zhang Yu, however, seemed to treat him as air. He walked silently to Bai Zhenzhen's side and held her in his arms.

Looking at Bai Zhenzhen's pale face and the injuries on her body, Zhang Yu said, "Sorry, I'm late."

Bai Zhenzhen smiled and said, "Isn't this just in time?"

From the moment Zhang Yu entered the field, to the moment he severely injured Zhou Yang with one move, and then to the moment he picked up Bai Zhenzhen, all that took was just a few seconds.

In just a few seconds, the many Qi-refining masters around did not stop their actions, and rushed into the thick fog, heading towards the direction where Bai Zhenzhen was in their memory.

Facing the siege of more than a dozen people at the peak of Qi Refining, Zhang Yu held Bai Zhenzhen with one hand, slightly exerted strength with the other palm, and then blasted out through the air.

If Zhang Yu had to save Bai Zhenzhen first in order to speed up the process, he would have just used a basic attack on Zhou Yang.

At this moment, Zhang Yu combined the power techniques of the Dragon Flipping Mountain Palm and the Dragon Elephant Collapsing Mountain Palm in one palm.

Although these two skills are only Qi Refining Stage martial arts, at this moment, under the blessing of Zhang Yu's foundation-building magic power and the Holy Embryo of Martial Arts, they burst out with unprecedented powerful palm power.

Everyone only felt a crackling sound in the air, and then it was like the roar of a dragon or elephant.

Roar!
Ye Mantian felt as if there was a giant dragon roaring and charging towards him in the sea of ​​clouds. He burst out with all his strength and raised his palms, but they still collapsed at the first touch. With a bang, he flew out and crashed into a small building.

Ye Mantian struggled to stand up, but suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. He felt his internal organs were shattered, his tendons and bones were broken, and he fell to the ground with a bang.

When he looked up, he saw that the clouds that were extremely thick just now had dispersed with the strong wind caused by the explosion, revealing a scene that looked like it had experienced a huge explosion.

And among the many masters who had just fought bravely, not a single one was still standing.

Some crashed into the broken walls, leaving only parts of their bodies exposed.

Some of them fell to the ground covered in blood, already unconscious.

Some were left with only broken limbs and arms, with no complete bodies left.

Ye Mantian looked at Zhang Yu, who was standing in the center of the battlefield with one hand around Bai Zhenzhen, and said bitterly, "Foundation building..."

At the same time, divine powers descended from the sky, and the surgical talisman activated remotely by Wang Yin had begun to treat Chi He, Ye Mantian and others.

But even though they felt their injuries recovering rapidly, Chi He, Ye Mantian and many other masters present felt a chill in their hearts. They did not dare to move at all, let alone show any fighting spirit or hostility.

Because they read the same message from Zhang Yu's cold eyes.

Whoever moves will die.
