Chapter 109 Pupil Technique, Three Questions?
"Hahaha!"

Zhang Yuanzhu laughed loudly, with a look of satisfaction on his lips.

Gradually, the laughter stopped.

His body swayed and he staggered and almost fell down.

He simply sat down, leaning against the corpse and breathing heavily.

After continuous discussions and fighting, his body, spirit, and magical powers have all reached their limits.

Fortunately, I fulfilled the promise I made.

After a short rest, I recovered a little.

At this time, he did not immediately step into the light gate to receive the reward.

Instead, he took out the remaining healing pills and elixirs from his arms and began to take them internally and externally to treat his injuries.

Meditate at the same time to recover the consumed mana.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally stood up and glanced regretfully at the corpses on the ground.

There are many dragon-blood monsters among these animal corpses. If they are all refined by the Red Snake Nuo Mask, Nuo Mask will definitely undergo a transformation.

However, because it had long been refined into a beast puppet, the essence of its bloodline had been completely lost over the long years.

While thinking, Zhang Yuanzhu slowly walked out and headed towards the light gate.

tower! tower! tower!
The figure moved forward and came to the tall gate of light, then paused slightly.

He then raised his arms and waved his hands, as if saying goodbye to a non-existent dead soul.

Then, he strode across the light gate.

The perspective changes and everything around becomes blurry.

When he looked again, he had arrived at a bright place.

The palace is luxurious, with the ground paved with green jade and dozens of dragon-shaped pillars supporting the roof.

Zhang Yuanzhu looked forward and saw ten stone platforms standing high on the ninety-nine steps.

Six of the stone platforms were shining brightly, and you could vaguely see balls of light floating in them. The other four stone platforms were dim and ordinary.

"Zhang Yuanzhu of the Zhuoyang lineage, you are finally here. You kept me waiting for so long." A sigh echoed in the palace.

Then, a thin middle-aged man in a black robe appeared in the center of the hall.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes calmly gazing at the figure standing with a knife.

There is no powerful aura, no mysterious Taoist rhyme, just like an ordinary person.

"They are just a bunch of beast puppets. Why waste time with them?"

Zhang Yuanzhu did not answer, but narrowed his pupils slightly as he looked at the middle-aged man in black robe in front of him.

The other person had a thin face and looked very ordinary.

If he guessed correctly, the phantom before him was enough to make all the disciples of the Beast Taming School kneel down.

Bow with fists and salute.

"Younger disciple, greetings to Master Yulong!"

"Even after nearly two thousand years, can you still guess it?"

"It seems that my Beast Taming lineage has not lost its Dao lineage over the long years."

The middle-aged man in black robe had a gentle expression as he pointed to the six glowing stone platforms on the ninety-nine steps.

"Pick one, it's the reward you deserve."

Zhang Yuanzhu did not step forward immediately. Instead, he gently stroked the hilt of the knife with his hand and a sincere look in his eyes.

"Senior, the beast puppets have all been damaged and cannot be used for the next trial. How about..."

"Give me all the remaining six rewards, so that the mediocre ones won't take advantage of them."

"Hahaha!"

"You, the younger generation, should really be allowed to complete the path of cultivating your mind and see if you will fall for the word wealth."

True Lord Yulong laughed loudly. No one who had completed the trial in the past had ever dared to bargain like this.

I actually encountered it today.

Zhenjun shook his head.

"The trials in this palace are not limited to refining the mind and fighting against beast puppets. It won't affect the subsequent trials too much."

"Now, choose."

Hearing this, Zhang Yuanzhu nodded.

Then, he looked at the six stone platforms, which were shining with six colors: green, blue, gold, green, red, and purple. He pressed his palm lightly on the hilt of the knife and bent his waist slightly:

"The younger generation has limited knowledge, please let the True Lord choose for me."

"He is quite a smart man."

Master Yulong chuckled, looked at the boy's pair of strange double pupils, and spoke slowly:
"There is a treasure that suits you."

He stretched out his hand towards the green light on the steps, and with a light wave, the light on a high platform dissipated in an instant.

A ball of light floated down from the stone platform and stopped in front of Zhang Yuanzhu.

Through the light, Zhang Yuanzhu saw a jade slip and a wooden box engraved with intricate array patterns.

At the same time, a gentle voice came slowly from not far away.

"A kind of pupil technique, and the spiritual objects needed to practice it, should be suitable for you."

Zhang Yuanzhu's pupils shrank slightly.

He was born with double pupils. Although they were not supernatural, he had thought about practicing pupil techniques.

Unfortunately, the pupil technique that the Zhuoyang Dharma Lineage could provide did not excite him, so he simply did not waste his time.

But what about the pupil technique provided by a Jindan Zhenjun?

Zhang Yuanzhu stretched out his hand, grabbed the jade slip and placed it between his eyebrows, and the information was transmitted into his heart.

At this moment, even with his temperament, he couldn't help but smile.

The other hand immediately reached out and put the wooden box away.

"This pupil technique is very suitable for my disciple. Thank you very much, senior."

The middle-aged man in black robe nodded. Every treasure on the stone platform was collected by him when he was alive.

How could it be ordinary if it could be collected by Jindan Zhenjun?

"The Jade Spirit Eyes are naturally excellent. They are a secret technique that I obtained from a Taoist Master."

"Now that the reward is over, it's time for you to leave."

True Lord Yulong was just about to mobilize the power of the palace to send the disciple in front of him out.

"Senior, wait, I have a few questions to ask you." Zhang Yuanzhu put the pupil technique jade slip into his arms and immediately spoke:
In an instant, Master Yulong stopped his palm movements and looked at Zhang Yuanzhu strangely.

He knew how the junior in front of him operated during the beast puppet trial.

Without waiting for his response, Zhang Yuan bowed with his fists clasped:

"Senior, I killed all the beast puppets. I don't ask for too much reward, I just want to ask a few questions."

"Please grant me your blessing, Master."

The middle-aged man in black robe was silent for a moment before he slowly responded.

"Three questions. I'm just a shadow, so there are some things I don't understand."

"Thank you, Master Zhenjun, for your help."

Zhang Yuanzhu straightened his back and his eyes were as bright as torches.

Having a True Lord answer your questions is an extremely rare opportunity, and its value is definitely not lower than just obtaining the pupil technique.

"A question to the True Lord: What is foundation building?"

"Foundation building?"

The middle-aged man in black robe had a hazy look in his eyes, lost in memories. It seemed as if he saw a young man a thousand years ago loudly asking an old man, "What is foundation building?"

This seemed to be the Master's response at the time. A peaceful voice slowly spread out and floated in the palace.

"The beginning of building the Great Dao is to create the foundation of immortality. Seeking the Dao from heaven and earth is the foundation."

"There are twelve levels of Qi Refining, each level is a building. After the twelfth level, the magic power turns from liquid to solid, and the spiritual platform is forged."

"There are three levels of foundation building: the first is the lower level. This life is stuck in the foundation building stage, with only a slight chance of seeking to condense the evil spirit."

"The second is the middle grade, which can forge the ninth level of the spiritual platform and give you a glimpse of the great path of the golden elixir."

"The third is the best."

Having said this, Master Yulong took a deep look at Zhang Yuanzhu's abdomen before continuing:
"With a broad spiritual platform and a solid foundation, the magic patterns can be transformed into resources. In this life, you can glimpse the path to the golden elixir."

"This path is difficult. Only when the essence, energy, spirit, and technique are all pushed to the limit of their potential can there be a chance of success."

"This is the path that a genius like you should take."

Zhang Yuanzhu's eyes flickered and he fell into deep thought.

This was the first time someone had demonstrated the foundation-building process so clearly.
