Guo Huai put the black dragon into the spirit beast bag, and then he left the small courtyard and saw that the inn was full of people, and everyone was watching him.
"Congratulations to the seniors who have entered the foundation-building period. May the seniors enjoy eternal blessings and may the road be prosperous forever!"
The Qi Refining Stage monks in the inn congratulated Guo Huai for entering the Foundation Building Stage. The world of immortal cultivation has always respected the strong. This is a watershed between the Qi Refining Stage and the Foundation Building Stage. Countless monks have been blocked by this threshold.
Guo Huai is not a stingy person. It is not easy for these monks in the Qi Refining Stage. He glanced at the inn and there were about ten people in the inn. With a wave of his big hand, five hundred spirit stones were evenly dispersed.
A group of monks competed for it one after another. Everyone grabbed more or less spiritual stones based on their ability, and each of them could get more or less several spiritual stones.
Everyone happily congratulated Guo Huai again. When everyone dispersed, a middle-aged monk slowly walked over and announced his family background: "I, the head of the Zheng family, Zheng Changfeng congratulates you Taoist Taoist for entering the foundation building period. In the future, there is hope for a great road and a path to immortality." Yongheng.”
Guo Huai knew in his heart that this was the foundation-building master who was waiting for him outside. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be the head of the Zheng family. Judging from his cultivation level, he was in the middle-stage foundation-building stage.
"No, I'm just taking a first look at the path. The road to immortality is still early!" Guo Huai said modestly: "But the Master of the Zheng family is already in the middle stage of foundation building. You are the one who has the most hope for the road!"
"I see that Fellow Daoist Guo is young and has successfully established the foundation. Your potential is not comparable to that of us old guys." The head of the Zheng family called out Guo Huai's surname first. It seemed that he had investigated it clearly in advance.
Guo Huai didn't know what the other party's words meant. The so-called showing courtesy for nothing was either cheating or stealing. The head of the Zheng family must have had something in mind for Guo Huai.
"Master Zheng, what are you doing here this time?"
Guo Huai also doesn't want to spend time on socializing. Wouldn't it be nice for him to have time to study formations?
So he went straight to the point and asked the other party why they were there.
Seeing that Guo Huai had such a temperament, the head of the Zheng family did not beat around the bush and continued, "My Zheng family wants to hire fellow Taoist Guo to be the worshiper of the Zheng family!"
"What are the conditions?" Guo Huai rushed to the core.
The head of the Zheng family said unhurriedly: "Five thousand spiritual stones per year, three bottles of Guiyuan Dan, and a high-grade magic weapon can be practiced at Zuowang Peak, which has the strongest spiritual energy in my Zheng family. It is the spiritual spring of the second-level spiritual veins." ”
Guo Huai thought to himself, just these things, you just want me to work for you?
He has no shortage of spiritual stones and elixirs, and he has no shortage of magic weapons. He has one magic weapon. As for practicing at the second-level spiritual veins and spiritual springs, this is somewhat attractive.
"I don't need spiritual stones, elixirs, or magic weapons. If the Zheng family can find me a water-based cultivation technique for the foundation period, I will agree to be your offering." Guo Huai also made his conditions.
The head of the Zheng family thought about it and agreed readily: "Okay!"
Since he has spiritual energy and cultivation techniques, why wouldn't Guo Huai do it?
Guo Huai followed the head of the Zheng family to Zuowang Peak, which is the core of the Zheng family. At the welcome dinner held, the head of the Zheng family introduced Guo Huai to the core members of the Zheng family as the new enshrinement of the Zheng family.
Then Guo Huai was arranged to an independent courtyard at Lingquan. He read a book called "Black Water True Jue" to practice Qigong during the foundation period. Guo Huai studied it and found it quite profound.
In the days to come, Guo Huai would not leave the house and concentrate on cultivation.
A few months later, the black dragon woke up again and still showed no signs of breaking through the foundation-building stage. Guo Huai gave him the remaining dragon-bird inner elixir from the foundation-building stage.
After the black dragon took the dragon bird inner elixir, he flew out first. Guo Huai quickly chased after him, only to see the black dragon plunge into the spiritual spring and disappear.
Guo Huai used his spiritual sense to explore and found that the spiritual spring was only three feet deep, but he could not find the black dragon. Seeing that there was no one in the west, Guo Huai returned to the small courtyard worriedly. In the blink of an eye, six or seven days passed and still no black dragon was seen. After returning, Guo Huai had no choice but to calm down and practice seriously.
There is no time in the mountains, and more than a year has passed in the blink of an eye. Guo Huai is about to break through to the middle stage of foundation building, but there is still no movement of the black dragon.
During this year, Guo Huai went to Lingquan several times to look for it, but he never saw the black dragon. Guo Huai no longer had any hope.
In a dense forest outside Jingshan City, a one-foot-long black dragon emerged from a crack in the mountain. It swelled in the wind and grew to a thousand feet in an instant, and its roar resounded through the sky.
The black dragon's scales were as black as ink, its head and horns were majestic, and its long beard swayed in the wind. It was mighty and domineering. Its huge body exuded a majestic aura, and all the animals in the dense forest were suppressed and crawled to the ground.
The black dragon's body exuded the aura fluctuations of the foundation building stage. It roamed in the sky for a while, then disappeared into the cracks of the rocks again.
Guo Huai was meditating when he suddenly noticed a familiar figure flying into the small courtyard. It was a black dragon that had disappeared for a long time.
The black dragon flew intimately to Guo Huai and flew up and down around him. Guo Huai also discovered that in the year since the black dragon disappeared, he had broken through to the foundation building stage, and the powerful aura it exuded was much more powerful than Guo Huai's.
Guo Huai said happily: "Where have you been this year? You miss me so much!"
A clear word came to Guo Huai's heart: "I went to absorb the spiritual energy in the spiritual veins and then went dormant. I just broke through and came back to find you!"
Guo Huai looked at the black dragon in front of him in surprise and said, "Can you speak now?"
Black Dragon swayed his body, and Guo Huai once again said something in his heart: "I am speaking to you from my heart, and you can also speak to me from your heart."
Guo Huai's eyebrows rose with joy and he said happily: "Then it will be easier for us to communicate, eh? Your IQ has also become higher!"
The black dragon twisted his body and said speechlessly: "After I broke through the foundation, my wisdom slowly emerged, and now I am smarter than you."
"What is your current strength? Why do I think you are better than me?" Guo Huai also expressed his doubts.
The black dragon said happily: "I am now in the middle stage of foundation building, and I will soon break through to the late stage of foundation building. Do you think I am good or not?"
Guo Huai asked in confusion: "How come you practice so fast? How long ago did you break through the foundation building and reach the middle stage of the foundation building?"
"Ha ha·····"
The black dragon smiled proudly and said: "After I broke through the foundation building, I accidentally swallowed the spiritual essence in this spiritual vein, so my cultivation level increased sharply within this year!"
Guo Huai said speechlessly: "If you swallowed the spiritual essence of the spiritual vein, then this spiritual vein will never be able to be upgraded to a third-level spiritual vein in the future! You, what should I say to you?"
Black Dragon said in an awkward voice: "Then when you become more powerful in the future, you can find them a third-level spiritual vein. I also want to tell you good news. I have awakened the trace of true dragon blood in my body!"
"Really?" Guo Huai said in surprise.
Now Guo Huai is no longer a novice. Awakening the bloodline is not a trivial matter for the monsters. It is a major event that can change their destiny.
