Occasionally, Zhang Wei would handle some minor chores on his behalf.

In addition to the Spring Water Sutra and Soul Refining Technique, which he worked on every day, all his free time was devoted to the cultivation of three second-level low-grade spells.

On the second day of the fifth lunar month, the art of transformation is promoted from Xiao Cheng to Dacheng.

On the sixth day of the lunar month, the stealth skill is promoted from Xiao Cheng to Dacheng.

On the eighth day of the lunar month, Flying Escape is promoted from Dacheng to Master.

On the tenth day of the lunar month, Meng Zhou was practicing three spells at the same time in the small courtyard.

As a spiritual snake whose power was comparable to that of a second-level low-grade spirit snake flew out of Meng Zhou's palm, the art of transformation had quietly completed its final accumulation, advancing from Dacheng to the master level.

Meng Zhou felt how various mana-shaped objects had improved after this promotion.

Not only has the power been improved, the power of a full blow should be a strong threat to monks on the third level of foundation building, and a fatal threat to ordinary monks on the first and second levels of foundation building.

This is only one aspect of the change. The transformed objects of mana are more agile, and he can command them more smoothly and flexibly.

Moreover, the mana is more concentrated, and the transformed object will exist for a longer period of time without encountering a strong fight.

"This promotion is far greater than the change from Xiaocheng to Dacheng."

Meng Zhou was immersed in the changes brought about by this continuous improvement.

At this moment, Meng Zhou once again felt a strange feeling coming from the distant sky.

His heart moved, and he quickly left the small courtyard and came to the empty road.

Qinglin Peak's mountain-protecting formation was opened again. It was still the familiar mountain peak, and another strange phenomenon of forming pills spread out from it.

As the foundation-building phenomenon below became more and more obvious, the sky above became more and more red, and finally, in the helpless void, a raging flame burned.

Even people as far away as the city can feel the scorching heat.

When the flames burned to their maximum, the strange phenomenon of pill formation in the mountains and forests below had quietly disappeared.

But the scene people expected has never appeared.

The blazing fire in the sky also faded and disappeared little by little, until in the end there was no trace of the flame left.

Until the mountain guarding formation was closed again, there was no change in the mountain peak.

Many people couldn't help but let out a sigh.

In fact, this is a wiser and more common choice.

After forming a false elixir, one can enjoy a life span of four to five hundred years. Regardless of status or strength, there will be a huge improvement compared to when the foundation was established.

Moreover, the breakthrough process is safe and guaranteed. Even if it fails, you can return to the peak of foundation building without facing a life-and-death test with a high probability of failure.

Once the false elixir is achieved, it will be enough to create a stronger and longer-lasting force.

Whether it is for an individual or for a power, this is a business that is sure to make a profit without losing any money.

As for what was lost, it was just continued progress on the Great Dao, which completely eliminated the possibility of obtaining the Dao Yuanying.

But in this world, how many people can really achieve the Dao Yuanying?

And once the decision to refine the Heavenly Tribulation Pill is made, there is no guarantee of success.

Even Qingxuan Zhenzhuan, who is recognized as the most talented monk in the Qingxuan domain, has a precedent of falling at this level and dying.

so……

"No wonder monks in the Dan Formation realm call each other Zhenren.

Only those who have passed this level can gain the true seed for seeking the truth.

If you choose a more reliable and safer fake elixir due to life and death considerations, power constraints or other factors.

No matter how strong you are, no matter how high your status is, you still can’t be called ‘true’.”

Meng Zhou returned to the Zhang family courtyard, ignored the disturbances from the outside world, and continued to practice quietly.

Just two days later, Meng Zhou, who was adjusting his breath in the quiet room, once again felt the strange aura coming from the sky, and there were monks forming elixirs again.

But Meng Zhou was completely unmoved. Together with those foundation-building visions, he was directly blocked by him, and he concentrated on his own cultivation.

…

May 13th.

"Exercise Technique: Second Level Spring Water Sutra Xiaocheng 3995/4000"

Before preparing to start practicing, Meng Zhou made serious preparations.

Regulate the state of breathing and stabilize the mood.

It wasn't until I felt both physically and mentally in good condition that I slowly immersed myself in the great movement of mana.

After the magic power containing vitality has been transported in the body for five days, all kinds of insights about the Spring Water Sutra flow into my heart like flowing water.

Meng Zhou's understanding of the Spring Water Sutra has reached a new level, and the vitality contained in the magic power has become more intense.

"Second Level Spring Water Sutra Dacheng 0/8000"

Faced with such progress, Meng Zhou's mind remained as calm as ever, and the power of Dacheng's Spring Water Meridian was still running stably in his body.

It was not until fifty great weeks later that Meng Zhou felt the limit and stopped practicing.

"The life span will be increased by another fifteen years."

"This time, my cultivation progress actually increased by a full 21 points."

"So, from now on, I can practice for fifty days every day, and my daily cultivation progress will be +20!"

"It's really not that far away from breaking through to the second floor of the foundation."

…

Although his cultivation level is still at the first level of Foundation Establishment, Meng Zhou's mana is much more abundant now than when he first entered Foundation Establishment.

In addition, after the Spring Water Sutra reaches Dacheng, it can slowly and automatically return to Qi anytime and anywhere.

Although compared to the huge consumption of him practicing three second-level spells at the same time, this recovery is a drop in the bucket.

But he couldn't stand it and it kept going on, which made him spend less time recovering every day.

Under these factors, the daily experience gain of the three spells has been significantly improved compared to before.

The Stealth skill increases the experience by 150 per day, the Transformation skill increases the experience by 220 per day, and the Flying Escape skill increases the experience by 180 per day.

In addition, Chun Shui Jing gains 50 experience points each day, and Soul Pond Lian Yue Xin gains 30 experience points each day.

…

May 15th.

Hexin Building.

A room on the second floor.

Meng Zhou's attention was focused on the auction table. On the table in front of him, a vermilion spiritual fruit jumped up from the tray and flew into his open mouth.

And inside his robe, he also wore a layer of close-fitting spiritual energy armor shield.

Just yesterday, he easily mastered the second-level low-grade object-controlling and armor-shielding techniques.

He has innate abilities, so practicing the art of controlling objects seems a bit unnecessary.

Meng Zhou learned it with the intention of covering up his natural ability. Furthermore, he also wanted to see how the art of controlling objects would be similar and different from his natural ability after he had perfected it.

Needless to say, Armor and Shield, it is always good to have an extra layer of defense.
