Chapter 194 Tiangongsi Assessment and Jianlin

The next day, the Zhou family courtyard was extremely lively.

Brother and sister He Zijian, Wang Yu's mother and daughter, Hu Jiaoxi, Lu Yunxi and others all came to congratulate Zhou Ling.

"Zhou Ling, congratulations on your success in establishing a Heavenly Grade foundation!"

"Zhou Ling, congratulations on your success in establishing a Heavenly Grade foundation!"

Lu Yunxi, He Zijian and others all congratulated Zhou Ling.

"Thank you everyone. Without everyone's help, I wouldn't have been able to successfully build the foundation so quickly."

Zhou Ling picked up the wine jar, filled everyone with wine, and said with a humble face.

Then we had a drink with everyone.

Everyone here was of great help to him. Wang Yu and his daughter were no less helpful to him than his master.

The He brothers and sisters are not young either.

Hu Jiaoxi and Lu Yunxi helped him become a foundation-building seed, and the other helped him obtain a place in the Tiangong Division's assessment.

Zhou Ling was also grateful for these.

Wang Yu and Lu Yunxi were also surprised that Zhou Ling had achieved such results today.

They are all foundation-building monks, and they know how difficult it is to build a heaven-level foundation!

What's rare is that Zhou Ling is still so humble and steady even after establishing the foundation of Tianpin.

"Zhou Ling, you have now established a foundation, and your position in the Tiangong Department may be adjusted next!"

Lu Yunxi took a sip of the spirit wine and smiled at Zhou Ling.

"Sister Yun Xi, I am still practicing in the Taoist Academy. Apart from refining treasures, I may not have time to do other tasks!"

Zhou Ling filled Lu Yunxi's bowl with wine again and said with a smile.

He has no specific plan for his next training, after all, he has now become an inner disciple of Xuanyuan Taoist Academy.

In other words, they are disciples of Xuanyuan Taoist Academy in the true sense.

Completely different from the disciples in the outer courtyard.

There is no risk of elimination.

You can continue to stay in the Taoist Temple in the future, or you can leave.

Of course, if you are unable to become a Taoist teacher and stay in the Taoist Academy, the resources you will receive are limited.

He is not in a hurry now and will practice step by step from now on.

With the blessing of talent and the Five Elements Thunder Gang Body, he believed that it would only be a matter of time before he entered the Golden Elixir.

"You are now a genius foundation builder and have very good weapon refining skills. You will definitely become a key training target of the Tiangong Division."

"Tianpin Foundation Building has met the conditions. I have already reported it to you. After passing the review, you will pass the assessment."

"Become the Tiangong Division and focus on cultivating Tiangong Golden Guards. The Tiangong Division will provide you with a lot of resources in the future."

Lu Yunxi introduced to Zhou Ling.

"Thank you, Sister Yunxi!"

Zhou Ling hurriedly cupped his hands and thanked him.

He knew that he had the attributes of the Five Elements, and now that he was entering the foundation building, the cultivation resources needed doubled.

It would be great to have the behemoth Tiangong Division to provide strong support.

“But it’s not that easy to get this spot.”

"After all, this is the best Tiangong Guard in each fairy city, and they will fight for it."

"Of course, there are also restrictions. The requirement is to be a foundation-building monk, be under twenty years old, and be a second-grade deacon of the Tiangong Department."

"There are only five places among the hundreds of immortal cities in the entire Qingyang Immortal Domain, which can be said to be one in a million!"

"It's not easy!"

"So you have to be fully prepared!"

Lu Yunxi continued to talk to Zhou Ling.

"Don't worry, Sister Yun Xi!" Zhou Ling said confidently.

Later, Lu Yunxi introduced the assessment process to Zhou Ling.

The assessment will start in June next year, but first, Zhou Ling needs to obtain a quota in Qingyun Fairy City.

The assessment of Qingyun Immortal City will be in December.

That is three months later.

Nowadays, Qingyun Immortal City's Tiangong Division estimates that there will be hundreds of Tiangong Guards participating, including even late-stage foundation-building monks.

Therefore, it is not that easy for Zhou Ling to obtain this quota.

"Now, as far as the second-grade deacons are concerned, Xu Baoyuan and Zhao Sui were both the most outstanding disciples of Xuanyuan Taoist Academy. They are now in the late stage of foundation establishment and can refine second-grade top-grade spiritual objects."

Lu Yunxi took a sip of the spirit wine and slowly spoke to Zhou Ling.

"Later stage of foundation building, second-level top-quality spiritual object!"

Zhou Ling murmured.

After entering the foundation building, his spiritual consciousness and spiritual power have been greatly improved. He feels that with the help of spiritual flames, he should be able to refine a second-level high-grade spiritual sword.

After all, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to comprehend the second-level high-grade imprint.

But for the second-level top grade, this is not easy.

"Xu Baoyuan was able to refine a top-grade spiritual sword in the inner courtyard two years ago when he was in the middle stage of foundation establishment. Now in the late stage of foundation establishment, he is probably not too far away from refining a third-order spiritual sword."

At this time, Hu Jiaoxi spoke up.

Everyone was shocked when they heard what Hu Jiaoxi said.

This talent is so incredible!

"Ling'er, don't put so much pressure on me, you're doing very well now!"

Li Ru said with a smile.

Her son has now successfully established a foundation, and she is very satisfied.

Although I also hope that my son can go further and achieve the golden elixir.

But I also know that I have to take it step by step.

I don’t want my son to be under too much pressure.

"Normally, it is very difficult to refine a second-level high-grade spiritual sword in the middle stage of foundation building, but Xu Baoyuan has a good chance."

"After entering the Taoist Sword Forest, I obtained the third-level spiritual sword Sanleaf Sword and understood the meaning of the sword. Therefore, I have made rapid progress in refining the spiritual sword!"

Hu Jiaoxi said with a smile.

"Sword Forest?"

"What is this place?"

Zhou Ling couldn't help but ask.

Hu Jiaoxi picked up the wine bowl, took a sip of the spirit wine, and continued,

"The Sword Forest is a core place of Xuanyuan Taoist Academy, and it is also a treasured place for swordsmiths."

"There are thousands of swords in the sword forest. They are the swords that the Xuanyuan Taoist Academy in Qingyun Immortal City has refined for the Taoist Academy before the disciples of the Taoist swordsmiths left for thousands of years."

"Among them, the second-level swords are the main ones."

"A small number of third-order items, and even a few fourth-order ones."

"This is also one of the inheritances of the Taoist Academy. Every skill master will leave behind his own masterpiece before leaving the Taoist Academy."

"Leave it to the following disciples to learn and observe."

"There are also many disciples who, after leaving, gave the exquisite spiritual objects they refined to the Taoist Academy."

Hearing this, Zhou Ling looked surprised, "Thousands of second-level and third-level swords!"

This background is quite scary!

But it's normal to think about it. In his generation, there are about a hundred weapon refiners, half of whom can refine swords.

With a foundation building rate of 70%, more than 70 people will enter the inner courtyard.

Among these people, there must be twenty people who can refine the spirit sword.

So this is also part of the amazing heritage of the Taoist Academy.

"Teacher, does this mean that now that I am a disciple of the inner courtyard, I can also enter the sword forest and observe the spiritual sword?"

Zhou Ling couldn't help but ask.

When refining a sword, in addition to drawing the sword seal, some swordsmiths who master the sword's intention will also incorporate the sword's intention, sword stone, etc. into it.

Therefore, observing these swords that contain sword intent is also a great help to the practice of swordsmanship.

And the most important thing is that he has the talent of [deducing fantasy simulation].

As long as you enter once, you can use the illusion to perform simulations in the future, which is equivalent to entering the sword forest multiple times.

This is a huge harvest!

"The Taoist Academy has regulations. Inner courtyard disciples need three hundred points to enter the sword forest. In addition to observing the sword, if the opportunity is good, they can also take the sword away."

Hu Jiaoxi saw that Zhou Ling was a little moved and said directly.

"Three hundred points!"

Hearing this, Zhou Ling couldn't help but be stunned. He won the Golden Elixir seed assessment and was rewarded with 100 points every month.

Now I still have more than 200 points left in my hand.

I originally wanted to save it and exchange it for my mother for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Now it seems that it needs to be used up first.

But three months later, the Tiangong Division's assessment has begun. Next month, it seems a little late to enter the Sword Forest.

After thinking about it, I couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, besides gaining points, is there any other way to enter the Sword Forest?"

Hu Jiaoxi shook his head.

Zhou Ling did the math and found that he still had 240 points, which was only 60 points short.

Go back to the Affairs Hall and take on a few tasks. I think you should be able to collect 300 points.

You can also enter the sword forest as soon as possible.

After all, one more month would be completely different.

Later, Zhou Ling learned more about the Tiangong Division's assessment from Lu Yunxi.

In the afternoon, Lu Yunxi, Hu Jiaoxi and the others said goodbye and left.

Only then did Zhou Ling chat with brother and sister He Zijian and Wang Xin about the situation of this foundation building.

"Zhou Ling, I didn't expect that among our ten disciples from Lingxia Immortal City, you would be the first one to successfully build a foundation!"

He Zijian said aloud.

Among the ten people, the ones with the best talents were undoubtedly him and Jin Sheng.

When Jin Sheng lost to Zhou Ling, he was holding back his energy and wanted to regain his face after entering the foundation building.

Of course, with Jin Sheng's personality, he definitely hopes to be able to build a foundation of heavenly quality.

Originally, he wanted to practice for a while, but now that Zhou Ling has successfully established the foundation, he doesn't want to wait any longer.

Gulu!

Thinking of this, He Zijian picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea slowly.

"Brother He, it's just a coincidence that I have Master to help me!"

Zhou Ling had no intention of hiding it from them and said with a smile.

The aura that He Zijian gave him now was extremely rich. With his current consciousness, he could also feel that there was probably spiritual liquid condensed in He Zijian's body.

Although He Lingyun and Wang Xin were already at the ninth level of Qi training, their spiritual Qi was obviously not as strong as Zijian.

He immediately asked, "Brother He, are you ready to build the foundation?"

He Zijian thought for a moment and said, "Over the past year or so, I have been developing most of the areas occupied by the Taoist Academy, and I have also earned points in exchange for foundation building."

"But it can only be exchanged for the ground-level foundation-building pill."

"Prepare to try to build a foundation by the end of this year!"

If there is a heaven-grade foundation-building pill, then he will naturally fight for it, but the number of heaven-grade foundation-building pills is really limited. Even in Xuanyuan Taoist Academy, only the disciples who have obtained the golden pill seed leader can obtain it in a year.

In their Feilong Battle Academy, even if they become the leader of the golden elixir seeds, they may not be able to obtain the reward of a heavenly grade foundation-building elixir.

Therefore, he does not have to aim too high. As long as he can successfully build the ground level foundation, he will strive to achieve the level 1 golden elixir in the future and have the opportunity to achieve Nascent Soul and enter the three realms of swordsmanship.

This can also be regarded as his training goal.

"Brother He, you are a sword cultivator, and your major is the strong and powerful thunder attribute sword intent. It is not suitable for overly suppressing the cultivation in the body."

"It will be counterproductive after a long time. But with your current cultivation level, I don't think there will be any problem in achieving ground level foundation building."

Through [Intermediate Observation] and [Intermediate Analysis], Zhou Ling was also able to see what was going on with Zijian's cultivation.

He Zijian has already reached the peak of his qi training, and his spiritual power is extremely strong.

It fully meets the conditions for impacting ground quality foundation building.

If you want to pursue heaven-level foundation building, it will be quite difficult with He Zijian's qualifications for high-level spiritual roots.

Even if all aspects are well prepared, the success rate is probably less than 30%.

So it is best to choose a route that suits you.

"Well, I will be satisfied if I can achieve the earth-grade foundation building."

"Only you can achieve the heaven-grade foundation building!"

He Zijian smiled and said.

Zhou Ling's words were also on point. He has also realized that the spiritual energy in his body cannot be compressed any more.

When he first entered the Feilong War Academy, he was also arrogant and thought about building a heaven-grade foundation in the future.

But now that more than a year has passed, he also knows how difficult it is to build a heaven-grade foundation.

Not only spiritual roots, talents, skills, resources, etc., but also sufficient opportunities and luck.

So, he can't help but envy Zhou Ling's luck.

"There are only one or two months left at the end of the year. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Zhou Ling raised his eyebrows and asked seriously.

Over the past year, he also felt that He Zijian had changed a lot.

When he was in Lingxia Fairy City, his personality was so flamboyant.

Now he is much more restrained.

Or to put it another way, he has matured a lot.

After all, when he entered the Feilong Battle Academy, he met disciples who were as powerful as him.

His horizons were definitely different.

Moreover, over the past year, he had been fighting and tempering in the alien world, and his character became more and more stable.

"Your foundation-building experience is the biggest help to me!"

He Zijian said with a smile.

Although Zhou Ling is a heaven-grade foundation-building, which is unique, there are also references.

It is definitely more valuable than the ground-grade foundation-building.

"Brother He, this is the foundation-building experience I summarized, I hope it can be helpful to you!"

Zhou Ling immediately took out three jade slips from the storage ring. These are some foundation-building experiences he compiled based on his own foundation-building process.

Divided into three parts, one for each of He Zijian's siblings and Wang Xin.

He also hoped that the three of them would succeed in building their foundations as soon as possible.

"Thank you, Zhou Ling!"

The three took the jade slips and thanked Zhou Ling.

Next, He Zijian asked Zhou Ling about some foundation-building situations in detail.

Wang Xin and He Lingyun also listened carefully.

It was not until near noon that the He brothers and sisters said goodbye and left.

"Brother Ling, my mother said that as long as my spirit body is completely restored, I will have a great chance to build a foundation in the future!"

After sending He Zijian and the others away, Wang Xin said to Zhou Ling.

She didn't feel any pressure when she was with Zhou Ling.

But now that Zhou Ling has successfully built a foundation in the heavenly level, she feels pressure inexplicably.

She doesn't want the gap between her cultivation and Zhou Ling to get bigger and bigger in the future.

"Auntie Wang said this, so she must be sure, but you don't have to worry, just do your best!"

Zhou Ling also said to Wang Xin with a smile.

Auntie Wang must have prepared for this.

Moreover, Wang Xin's dark fire spirit meridians in her body have recovered 70% to 80% under the cultivation of her own Qinglian Spirit Flame.

It won't take long to fully recover.

Once this dark fire spirit body is restored, even if Wang Xin cannot build a foundation in the heavenly level, it will be enough to build a foundation in the earthly level.

Hearing Zhou Ling's words, Wang Xin smiled and nodded.

Zhou Ling's words were the greatest encouragement to her.
