Five months later, in the Wuji Cave Mansion of the Hidden Moon Sect.

Lu Yunze looked at the two blue pills in front of him and said nothing, then smiled after a while.

With the help of the unknown ancient jade, the damage to Lu Yunze's consciousness healed faster than he imagined, and he has now fully recovered.

And whether it was because of the ancient jade, Lu Yunze could clearly feel that his consciousness was getting stronger.

This reminded him of his previous assumptions about monks building foundations. In fact, when Lu Yunze was snatched away by Li Wuya in the forbidden tower, he had already realized that his research might have gone astray.

This is not surprising. After all, researching this kind of thing is a process of constant trial and error. If you can choose the correct one from countless possibilities at once, that is not called research, that is called cheating.

Lu Yunze's mistakes in the direction of his research mainly came from the inertia of scientific thinking in his previous life. The scientific rules of the material world made him subconsciously ignore the existence of spiritual consciousness when researching foundation building.

Now think about it, if foundation building is the tempering and upgrading of the Dantian and meridians, then why does the spiritual consciousness also become stronger along with it?

In order to study this problem, Lu Yunze conducted various tests on himself every day during these five months.

As a result, Lu Yunze discovered that when his consciousness gradually recovered, although his mana itself would not be affected, the manipulation of his mana had significant changes.

From the beginning when his consciousness was damaged, he could only release simple and crude mana, but later he became able to use his fingers like an arm again, and even got closer.

All of these illustrate the importance of spiritual consciousness to the operation of mana.

But there is no reason for this. Mana is stored in the Dantian and travels through the meridians. There is no room for spiritual consciousness to intervene in this process.

This doubt has troubled Lu Yunze for more than two months, and it was not until recently that he suddenly realized it. At the same time, it also solved a question that had troubled him for many years.

What is consciousness?

Lu Yunze believes that spiritual consciousness is only an appearance, and the soul is the key!

When a monk reaches the fourth level of Qi training, there will be obvious differences from before. The five senses will become more sensitive, the reaction speed will be accelerated, the memory ability will be improved to the level of photographic memory, and it will even have the effect of improving intelligence.

As they continue to practice, the monks will begin to develop so-called spiritual consciousness, which can scan a small distance around them like a radar, and can also attach their spiritual consciousness to magical instruments for command and control.

After the foundation is established, the monk's spiritual consciousness can be powerful enough to use the method of distraction and attach magical weapons such as puppets for manipulation.

In this process, what appears to be powerful is the spiritual consciousness, but in reality, what is powerful is the soul.

The evidence is that when Li Wuya seized Lu Yunze's body with his initial cultivation level of foundation building, although Lu Yunze's cultivation level was only at the peak of Qi Refining, his soul was no worse than him.

The fundamental reason is that he is a human being in his second life, which is reflected on the surface by the power of his spiritual consciousness.

Lu Yunze believed that whether it was the astonishing changes that occurred at the fourth level of Qi refining or the subsequent spiritual consciousness, their essence was a manifestation of the powerful soul.

The soul is the consciousness, the soul, and the commander responsible for mobilizing the magic power in the process of running the magic power.

Therefore, the essence of the damage to the spiritual consciousness is actually the weakness of the soul. This is why Lu Yunze's magic power becomes so difficult to control.

Thinking about it now, Li Wuya's evil spirit possession at that time must have limits to forcibly improve his cultivation level, and it was not as good as a real foundation-building monk. Otherwise, with Lu Yunze's weak soul at the time, he might not have been able to drive him out.

After thinking about this layer clearly, Lu Yunze immediately discovered that the magic power was the same.

Previously, Lu Yunze believed that the strengthening of human organs such as Dantian meridians was to contain more mana.

But in fact, Lu Yunze reversed the cause and effect.

It is not because of the mana that the body is strong, but because of the strong body, there is high-quality mana.

So many people probably don’t understand it, so to put it another way, what is the physical essence of a monk? Or what is the foundation of a monk?

The answer had actually appeared before Lu Yunze's eyes, but he had ignored it before.

It’s Jing Yuan! Or it can also be called True Yuan!

Only with strong enough true energy can monks have higher-quality Dantian and meridians, and can transform higher-quality mana.

After researching this point, the essence of monks’ cultivation has become clear.

Double cultivation of life!

By absorbing spiritual energy and practicing exercises, you can simultaneously strengthen your true energy and soul.

Therefore, the marrow cleansing and sutra-clearing of the Foundation Establishment Pill is not simply strengthening the physical body, but removing the impurities of the monk's true energy! This allows the monks to have higher quality true energy.

At the same time, the change of the soul is also very important. The process of liquefaction of the foundation monk's mana is probably not the chemical reaction that Lu Yunze understood before, but a manifestation of the power of the soul and the essence being powerful, which can refine the mana with higher purity and operate with precision.

.

"If this is really the case...then I probably only need one Foundation Establishment Pill to successfully build the Foundation." Lu Yunze picked up a blue Foundation Establishment Pill and murmured to himself.

As a second-generation human, he was born with powerful spiritual consciousness, and his soul was stronger than other monks.

If Lu Yunze's prediction was correct, this advantage not only made it easier for him to build a foundation, but also probably caused him to make mistakes in not discovering the research direction in time before.

After all, if Lu Yunze's conclusion is correct, it means that once the quality of mana exceeds the strength of the soul, mana will not be able to move freely, and every time it is mobilized, it will be as laborious as a small horse pulling a cart.

Lu Yunze was born with a strong soul, which prevented this kind of thing from happening, but it also almost made him go astray.

"Improve the quality of the true essence and the soul... You don't have to worry about the soul. My true essence should be much stronger than other monks after deliberately compressing my mana and adding elixirs to strengthen my body in the past few years."

"After all, theoretically speaking, deliberately compressed mana does not come from normal cultivation. The mana accumulated after it is used up will still return to its original quality. But the quality of my mana is constant. This can only show that in these few days, the quality of my mana is constant.

After years of accidental collisions, the purity of my true energy has really increased a lot."

Lu Yunze smiled slightly, opened his mouth, swallowed a Foundation Establishment Pill, and began to refine the potency.

If his guess is really correct, then this foundation building will be simpler than he imagined.

The power of the foundation-building medicine took effect very quickly. After just a few hours, Lu Yunze felt that his Dantian began to heat up, while his limbs and other places became extremely cold, creating a very distinct feeling of heat and cold!

"The whole body's true energy is gathering towards the Dantian. Sure enough, I wasn't entirely wrong before. The quality of the Dantian is indeed the key point." Lu Yunze frowned, already prepared in his heart.

Strengthening the physical body is a very painful thing. After all, there is only one way to intuitively reflect the power of true energy on human organs.

Eliminate the old version of the organ, and regenerate a new organ that matches the powerful true essence on its basis.

To put it simply, break and then build!

Sure enough, there was a sharp pain in Lu Yunze's Dantian, like seven or eight sharp knives stirring at the same time. Lu Yunze, who was still looking inwards, clearly saw that his Dantian swelled strangely and soon cracked on the surface.

There were bloodstains one after another, and then new tissue replaced them at an extremely fast speed.

This process only lasted less than ten breaths, and the scarred Dantian was covered with new tissue, and it was still growing.

Soon the new tissue will replace the original Dantian tissue and form a brand new and higher quality Dantian.

Before Lu Yunze could fully feel this strange change, the severe pain in his Dantian suddenly turned into countless heat currents, which immediately spread throughout his body along the meridians, and even penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

"Hmph!" The heat turned into an unbearable itching, and it seemed like there were countless ants crawling around all over his body. This made Lu Yunze, who had been prepared for a long time, couldn't help but groan, and wished he could

All the skin, flesh and bones of the whole body were stripped out!

This unbearable itching only lasted for half a quarter of an hour, but it had already given Lu Yunze the idea of ​​committing suicide.

"I have already improved the purity of my true energy. Those who take the Foundation Establishment Pill directly are probably not..." Thinking of this, Lu Yunze shuddered.

Only then did Lu Yunze notice that his whole body was covered with a layer of sticky gray substance, exuding an indescribable strange smell.

"Is this the impurity of the true essence?" Lu Yunze curiously picked up a piece of gray substance from his skin. "It's interesting. Keep it first."

Lu Yunze rolled all the real energy impurities in his body into dozens of small gray balls and put them away solemnly.

At this time, his whole body was filled with warmth. It should be that the remaining power of the Foundation Establishment Pill was still exerting its effect, but...

"You can actually build the foundation like this." Lu Yunze circulated the technique, and the liquid mana surged through the meridians, and finally merged into the Dantian.
