Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 165 Lü Ruoxi is about to establish her foundation.

"What the hell!"

Upon hearing Li Yunjing's words, Fu Chao couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Is that even human language?"

Are you trying to kill us?
I really want to beat you up!

"Hehe! Don't be surprised! To me, isn't this just normal?"

Li Yunjing chuckled, raised his glass, and toasted Fu Chao.

"when……"

They clinked glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

"Seriously! How good are you now? Xu Xun is your rival in love, can you take him down?"

Fu Chao asked curiously.

"This one……"

Li Yunjing pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said, "It's hard to say! I think I should be able to hold my own against someone at the first level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. If I were to unleash the 'Divine Firmament Thunderbolt,' I might be able to kill a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator from the outside world."

"As for Xu Xun? I don't know what level the Foundation Establishment cultivators he killed were, but I don't think I'm a match for him."

Here, Li Yunjing concealed his true strength.

It's not that I don't trust Chao.

However, this is a habit of his; he doesn't like to expose his full strength to others, as it makes him feel naked and particularly uncomfortable.

"You are cruel enough!"

Even though there was something to hide, Fu Chao couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

To think that someone at the eighth level of the Qi Refining Realm could defeat someone at the first level of the Foundation Establishment Realm is simply unimaginable!
This isn't just crossing two minor realms!
It's not a small realm, but a great realm!

Fu Chao had never heard of any disciple of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" who, at the eighth level of Qi Refining, dared to say that he could kill a cultivator at the first level of Foundation Establishment.

Fu Chao is now completely convinced!
Li Yunjing is not his target!
Fu Chao was ready to give up. There was no point in arguing with this kind of freak; it would only lead to more setbacks.

"By the way, now that you're so amazing! Shouldn't you make your move on Yunyi?"

Fu Chao couldn't help but chuckle mischievously at the thought.

"No rush! What am I? A mere Qi Refining Realm cultivator, do you think I can pursue the eldest daughter of the Yu family?"

"Isn't this like a toad trying to eat swan meat?"

Li Yunjing shook his head slightly. The cultivation world is very realistic, and he was self-aware.

Good talent?

The other party can wait for you to grow!

However, having good talent alone is not enough to make the other party place a big bet!
Throughout history, there have been countless talented individuals, but many of them failed to reach their full potential and died young.

Li Yunjing's rank was clearly not high enough to warrant special attention from the Yu family.

He wants to take things further with Yu Yunyi now, which would be humiliating and could even cause strong dissatisfaction among some of Yu's family members!

However, once Li Yunjing successfully establishes his foundation and becomes a true disciple, his status will be vastly different.

At that time, the Yu family needed to seriously consider Li Yunjing.

There won't be as much dissatisfaction or even hostility.

Li Yunjing has a very clear understanding of his own strengths and position.

"You're really calm! I thought you'd get cocky after jumping up like that, but I didn't expect you to be the same as before."

Upon hearing Li Yunjing say this, Fu Chao was taken aback and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Now, he admires Li Yunjing more and more.

At the same time, Fu Chao was also glad that he had become friends with Li Yunjing!
Otherwise, if there is such an enemy, there is absolutely no other way but to use all our strength to eliminate him.

"I'm not some rich kid like you. What right do I have to be arrogant? Every step I've taken to get to where I am today has been like walking on thin ice!"

Li Yunjing sighed softly, then remembered something and asked, "How is Wei Henian's situation?"

"Hey! Don't even mention that coward! Our people have already raided his three transit stations and robbed him of hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, yet he hasn't moved an inch, hiding inside the mountain gate. I'm truly amazed by him!"

Fu Chao couldn't help but complain a few times. He then picked up a large piece of tortoise meat with his chopsticks and began to chew it, as if he were treating the meat as if it were Wei Henian...

"Okay! Then let's wait patiently! Our strength is getting stronger and stronger! On the other hand, Wei Henian definitely won't be able to advance anytime soon!"

"From now on, Wei Henian will have no chance to struggle in his death throes!"

Li Yunjing sneered repeatedly when this person was mentioned.

“That’s right! Given enough time, we’ll all advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm, and Wei Henian will become even more useless.”

Fu Chao nodded and added, "Did you know? Lü Ruoxi is in seclusion, trying to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm!"

"Oh? That's a good thing!"

Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow, revealing a hint of joy.

Among their four-person team, Lü Ruoxi joined the team the earliest and has a very strong background. Now she is finally starting to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, which will greatly benefit the development of their team.

Foundation Establishment Realm and Qi Refining Realm are two different levels!
Many things become extremely troublesome and difficult when one is in the Qi Refining stage.

After Lü Ruoxi advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm, everything went smoothly for her. Very few people dared to make things difficult for a true disciple in the Foundation Establishment Realm!
This represents a tremendous rise in status, even transcending social classes.

"Yes! With Lü Ruoxi's talent, now that she's in seclusion, everything is going perfectly. We should receive good news in about a month."

Fu Chao nodded as well.

This is also extremely beneficial to him.

From beginning to end, neither of them considered the possibility that Lü Ruoxi would not be able to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm!

This is a true disciple!
Every true disciple of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" is a seed of the Golden Core!

A mere Foundation Establishment stage is no challenge at all.

A breakthrough in one month is a conservative estimate!

"By the way! Have you heard about what happened in the Orchid Mountains?"

Li Yunjing suddenly asked.

"Oh! I heard about it! It was a pretty fierce fight!"

Fu Chao nodded casually.

This matter caused a great sensation in the first two months.

The lower levels of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" were unaware of this major event, but the upper levels were aware of it.

"Did our sect's patriarch win?"

Li Yunjing asked calmly.

"Hehe! I don't know about that, but someone saw that the two Shenxiao warships were badly damaged and have been sent to Tiangong Hall for emergency repairs."

Fu Chao suddenly lowered his voice and said.

"Oh! Never mind! Let's not talk about things involving important people!"

The three important figures returned safely, and Li Yunjing, having obtained useful information, asked no further questions.

As for the other details, they have nothing to do with Li Yunjing.

Whether he knows it or not makes no difference.

Li Yunjing wasn't the kind of person who was more anxious than the emperor.

……

The meal lasted until midnight. Li Yunjing and Fu Chao talked about many recent events and discussed some big secrets.

Of course, the two also talked about romance and cultivation.

A young master from a wealthy family and a genius who has lived two lives hit it off and became more and more excited as they talked.

Fu Chao regretted it. If he had known Li Yunjing was such an interesting person, he would have gotten to know him sooner.

Only after the two had enjoyed themselves to the fullest did they get up, both reeking of alcohol.

Before leaving, Li Yunjing gave Fu Chao a tortoise leg.

The second young master of the Fu family happily went out, boarded the teleportation array, and went home.

Li Yunjing then approached Ma Xingyuan and asked, "How many spirit stones?"

"Young Master Li, what are you saying? What spirit stones! Your presence here for dinner with Young Master Fu is a great honor for Ya Xiang Garden! We're not talking about money!"

Ma Xingyuan shook his head and waved his hand, determined not to accept any benefits from Li Yunjing.

"Fatty, I understand what you mean! But! You're currently lacking spirit stones for cultivation! Here are 1000 low-grade spirit stones! Take them!"

Li Yunjing insisted on taking out 1000 spirit stones and stuffing them into Ma Xingyuan's hands, then added, "Cultivate diligently! I'll be waiting for you to enter the inner sect!"

After paying the spirit stones, Li Yunjing leisurely went out.

"Young Master Li, let me see you off!"

Ma Xingyuan felt a warmth in his heart, knowing that it was Li Yunjing who was taking care of him, which moved him deeply.

"Okay!" Li Yunjing nodded and walked towards the teleportation array.

Throughout the journey, Ma Xingyuan stayed by his side, seemingly just like a year ago when the two had first met...

After talking with Ma Xingyuan for a while, Li Yunjing went up the teleportation array and returned to his "Qiwu Manor".

After returning home and resting for a while, Li Yunjing used his magic to dispel the effects of the alcohol and then devoted himself to cultivation.

Li Yunjing had mastered the Everlasting Spring Technique, the Wind-Catching Shadow Technique, the Heavenly Gang Stone Armor Skill, the Cold Star Blood Rain Sword, the Palm Thunder, the Water and Fire Harmony Skill, the Five Elements Silk-Creating Net, the Netherworld Whirlwind Blade... He had cultivated these supernatural and secret techniques to a very high level.

This time, he plans to spend two days integrating them again to further refine the Five Elements Technique.

On the second floor of the "Scripture Pavilion" there is a set of "Acquired Five Elements Techniques", but unfortunately Li Yunjing did not have the opportunity to obtain it.

He had enough capital, but he didn't have a spot on the second floor.

To go to the second floor, one must be a true disciple or a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

There is no way to do this for someone else. If someone else were to teach it privately, it would be a violation of the sect rules and would be severely punished.

This left Li Yunjing somewhat helpless.

As for that old man in purple?
Li Yunjing's old subordinates in the "Scripture Pavilion" had never reported the matter of the old man in purple.

Clearly, this mysterious old man has not appeared in the "Scripture Pavilion" for the past few months.

Besides, even if they could give him another spot, Li Yunjing would still feel a little embarrassed.

The elder must have paid a price to arrange a spot!

Li Yunjing had no relation to this person, so how could he ask for their help again after they had already helped him once?

He simply wanted to see this senior again. Deep down, Li Yunjing had a feeling that if he couldn't see this senior in the next two years, he might never see him again in his life.

This made Li Yunjing feel a tightness in his chest and a pang of sadness.

"Ugh……"

With a long sigh, Li Yunjing finally emptied his mind and entered a meditative state once more.

Currently, Li Yunjing can only rely on his own understanding of the Five Elements to integrate and cultivate them on his own.

According to the cultivation method of "Eternal Spring of Ten Thousand Trees", Li Yunjing had long been able to skillfully use it. In addition, with the addition of "Water and Fire Harmony" and "Wind and Shadow Catching Technique", this time, he planned to merge these three secret techniques together to form a new supernatural power.

Before long, in Li Yunjing's secluded cultivation room, as Li Yunjing circulated his magic power, a magic power vortex suddenly formed, accompanied by howling winds, and thousands of wood energies grew and withered in the water and fire.

The strange phenomena formed by the condensation of various magical powers are constantly changing.

That night, Li Yunjing gradually grasped the Middle Way philosophy of "neither withering nor flourishing, yet both withering and flourishing".

All things in the world are constantly changing; we should not be attached to life, nor fear death.

Life and death, rise and fall are opposites, yet they transform into and balance each other.

The clear spring irrigated the trees, the flames burned them, the wind fanned the flames, the wind rose and the clouds surged, the rain extinguished the fire, and nourished all things...

These various scenes form a cycle.

It kept evolving within Li Yunjing's sea of ​​consciousness, while inside the secluded cultivation room, the forces of wood, water, fire, and wind raged everywhere...

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the power of the five elements circulates, continuously flowing from the sea of ​​consciousness into all parts of the body.

The five internal organs are strengthened by the power of the five elements.

The body's interior and the universe form a cycle.

"Boom!"

Overnight, the four elements of magic interacted and merged, forming a black and white magical power, as thin as a spider's thread.

The surging energy, flowing in reverse from all parts of his body, defying his innate nature, converged into Li Yunjing's sea of ​​consciousness, and then all the energy was absorbed into his mind.

"call……"

Li Yunjing woke up and let out a long breath.

This energy was different from before; it was white with a hint of black...

"What a pity! The Five Elements are incomplete, so the Yin and Yang transformations cannot be fully realized!"

Li Yunjing sighed softly.

Only by mastering the power of the five elements can one attempt to fuse them.

For Li Yunjing, completely breaking down the barriers between the five elements and forming a new and more powerful hybrid force is not an easy task.

His current mature fusion is only "Water and Fire in Harmony" and the four-system fusion that he just practiced.

The ultimate goal of the five elements' integration, or the unification of the five elements, is a very distant prospect.

According to Li Yunjing's deduction, the combination of the five elements can completely evolve into the two energies of Yin and Yang.

Of course, in order to evolve Yin and Yang, there is one more step: the acquired Five Elements must be reversed to the innate Five Elements. Only in this way can the power of the innate Five Elements be used to evolve Yin and Yang and comprehend the origin of heaven and earth.

Li Yunjing dared not even think about such a realm for the time being.

Perhaps even after thousands of years, he might not be able to fully comprehend it. He has only just embarked on the path of cultivation, and is still far from that realm.

After a night of cultivation, Li Yunjing was not tired at all; on the contrary, he was full of energy.

After tidying up briefly, he sent another message using a "long-distance communication talisman".

After receiving a response, Li Yunjing left his residence and went to "Tiangong Hall" to find Yang Wenzheng, the young genius in weapon crafting.

Yang Wenzheng's cultivation level was not low; he had already reached the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Realm and was also a first-level advanced weapon refiner. Li Yunjing went there this time because he needed Yang's help.

The time has come for the "Five Dragon Wheels" to be formally crafted.

Of all the people Li Yunjing knew, after much deliberation, he still felt that Yang Wenzheng was the most suitable to help him realize this idea.

Yang Wenzheng's teacher was no ordinary weapon refiner!
At Tiangong Peak, Yang Wenzheng personally greeted Li Yunjing.

This mountain is unlike any other.

As soon as Li Yunjing arrived, he saw that the mountain was completely bare, with very few plants.

A wave of intense heat swept over us.

Li Yunjing even felt a sense of suffocation; the stuffy heat was his first impression of "Tiangong Peak".

On "Tiangong Peak", the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is all fire-attribute primordial energy, making it a paradise for fire-type cultivators, but for others, it is extremely uncomfortable.

Long-term absorption of fire elemental energy in the air can lead to unknowingly developing fire poisoning.

Li Yunjing possessed all five elements, and after staying here for a short while, he completely adapted to the environment.

"Brother Li, I heard you're looking for someone to help you refine a spiritual weapon prototype?"

Having received the message through the communication talisman, Yang Wenzheng was very curious and wanted to see what good things Li Yunjing was going to refine.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Brother Yang. This time, I plan to forge a Five Elements Spiritual Artifact, the Five Dragon Wheel..."

The two walked into the "Tiangong Hall" while exchanging words.

"Alas! What a brilliant idea! It's a pity that my cultivation level hasn't broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm yet, so I can't participate in this matter. What a shame!"

After hearing Li Yunjing's original idea and seeing the drawings he had made, Yang Wenzheng was so anxious that he slapped his thigh.

Unlike the Seven Star Palace, the Tiangong Hall is open to outsiders, and there are even more people from other mountains than at the Tiangong Hall.

This is the sacred ground for weapon crafting of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

People from all the mountains sought help from those at "Tiangongtang".

This time, Li Yunjing was only able to cut in line temporarily thanks to Yang Wenzheng's connection; otherwise, he would have had no hope of hiring a master craftsman to forge weapons.

Even if you wait in line for several years, it's not certain that it will be Li Yunjing's turn.

Because there might be other important figures arriving later, they directly pushed Li Yunjing to the back!

It is precisely because the people of "Tiangongtang" are skilled in crafting weapons that this place is also the most prosperous mountain peak of "Shenxiao Daozong"!
Inside the enormous "Tiangong Hall," the sound of hammering could be heard everywhere.

Every now and then, flames would shoot into the sky!

Everywhere is radiant with precious light!

The entire "Tiangong Hall" has very few large halls; instead, caves have been carved out in various places on "Tiangong Peak".

Yang Wenzheng led Li Yunjing to a place near the mountain peak, and after many twists and turns, they entered a cave that was thousands of feet deep.

It was incredibly hot here, and Li Yunjing even had to use his magic to protect himself.

Yang Wenzheng seemed to be very comfortable with the environment, showing no signs of discomfort.

Upon seeing this, Li Yunjing secretly admired him, thinking that this young man would probably advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm soon.

With Yang Wenzheng's talent, as long as he doesn't give up on his own, he will definitely be able to become a true disciple!
This person has a bright future and is definitely one of the most prominent figures in Yu Yunyi's faction.

"Brother Li! This is just how things are here! I'll take you to see my master later. With my master's help, your 'Five Dragon Wheel' will be foolproof, and it might even be more powerful than you expect!"

Yang Wenzheng noticed Li Yunjing's discomfort and smiled gently.

"I owe this matter to Brother Yang. Otherwise, how would I have gotten the connections to ask your master for help?"

Li Yunjing thanked him again. He knew that Yang Wenzheng's master was no ordinary person. He was a senior Foundation Establishment Realm expert and also a second-level advanced weapon refiner.
