Chapter 102: Chapter 10: Foundation Establishment Achieved

After calming his mind, Li Jizhou sank his consciousness into the sea of awareness.

On the surface of the Reincarnation Treasure Mirror, the two engraved figures were lifelike. His divine sense touched the image of this life.

Longevity: “40/180”

At Qi Cultivation Ninth Level, his lifespan increased by fifty percent compared to the usual perfection of Qi Cultivation, reaching the limit of 180 years.

“I can refine Foundation Establishment Pills now!”

Everything was in place, and Li Jizhou hung a sign at his residence indicating that he was secluded and not to be disturbed.

He began refining Foundation Establishment Pills for himself.

After a year and a half of honing his skills, he now had complete control over the Anomalous Fire.

Now, at the perfection of Qi Cultivation Ninth Level, his divine sense had already crossed the threshold of the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

With the proficiency from his previous life as a Tier Two Pill Master added to his current life, his pill-making skills had surpassed those of his past life.

Abandoning all distractions, he reinforced the pill room with several layers of restriction, as Bai Yi’s Spirit Body returned to position, Black Xuan’s innate illusion was fully activated, and he bathed in incense, praying for blessings from the Pill Emperor.

A month later…

“Pop~”

With a soft sound, the entire pill room filled with the fragrance of pills.

Li Jizhou slowly opened his eyes and revealed the Pill Furnace with magical power!

A cloud of colorful mist rose,

“It’s done!”

Li Jizhou looked at the Foundation Establishment Pill quietly lying in the Pill Furnace, covered with colorful cloud patterns, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

Originally, with his current pill skills, the normal yield of this Foundation Establishment Pill’s recipe could reach three pills.

In order to enhance the quality, he did not hesitate to suppress the yield to its limit.

The result was perfect!

“How fortunate!”

A top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill increased the success rate of foundation establishment by at least fifty percent. Coupled with his middle-grade Spirit Root in this life, there would no longer be any unexpected occurrences in his foundation establishment.

He then carefully placed the Foundation Establishment Pill into the jade bottle that had previously held the Celestial Pure Water,

The next two months were spent doing nothing but remaining secluded, cultivating in silence, refining his flesh, gathering sufficient magical power, and resting his divine soul!

Two months later, he finally received a message from Steward Chen.

Li Jizhou went willingly, spending four thousand spirit stones to purchase a middle-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, the likes of which many inner sect disciples were still queuing up and yet unqualified to buy.

“Thank you, Steward Chen, and gratitude to Elder Xu. Once I luckily succeed in foundation establishment, I will certainly work twice as hard and contribute my strength to Miaodan Tower!” Li Jizhou expressed his customary thanks.

“Good, the younger generation is indeed formidable!” Steward Chen nodded with satisfaction.

“Then I shall take my leave, as I need to prepare for the foundation establishment!”

“Yes, we have already informed the Foundation Establishment Dojo. When you are ready, bring your Honored Guest Elder Jade Pendant directly to the Celestial Level dojo. Remember, keep a calm mind, don’t put too much pressure on yourself.

With your talent, along with this middle-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, there’s at least a sixty percent chance. Additionally, the thick Spirit Vein in the Celestial Level Foundation Establishment Dojo in the Immortal City, combined with the array set up by sect elders to gather Spiritual Qi and materials to enhance the divine soul, will add another twenty percent, nearly ensuring your successful foundation establishment!” Steward Chen reminded at last.

“I shall remember this wholeheartedly!” Li Jizhou expressed his thanks and left.

Celestial Level Dojo!

Li Jizhou couldn’t help but smile wryly.

In Wang Family’s Fenglin Immortal City, the foundation establishment cave dwelling came at a Tier Two Middle Grade level, with a usage fee of one thousand spirit stones per foundation establishment.

However, the Foundation Establishment Dojo of Golden Crow Immortal City was specifically established by the Golden Sun Sect, divided into three levels: Heaven, Earth, and Human.

All located in Tier Two Upper Grade Spirit Vein Land,

However, the Earth and Celestial levels had some additional arrangements, providing stabilized spiritual pressure, enhancing the divine soul, and purifying the flesh.

Especially the Celestial Level Foundation Establishment Dojo had an excellent effect.

However, generally, the Celestial Level Dojo is only open to disciples within the sect.

On the way, Li Jizhou looked back on his past, feeling a sense of marvel.

In his past life, he had indeed endured countless hardships and had barely survived for the sake of foundation establishment.

But in this life, he had it easy, without suffering much, yet he enjoyed resources he couldn’t even dream of in his previous life.

Top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, Celestial Level Foundation Establishment Dojo…

Of course, all this was accumulated from his previous life, otherwise, with such a start, he would likely have died in Inverted Mountain in this life.

Or, like Wu Daniu, he might have joined a cultivation family, blending into the crowd.

Three days later, Li Jizhou arrived at the Celestial Level Dojo.

This place was within the mountain gate of the Golden Sun Sect, where in the distance, he could see the Central Square from twenty-four years ago when he came to the Golden Sun Sect for entrance assessment.

That year, he was sixteen, coming here with twenty-eight other companions from Inverted Mountain, hoping to leap like a carp over the dragon’s gate.

He left despondently at that time.

Today, he revisited the same place but took a different path, standing where only outstanding disciples within the sect could stand, relying on his craft.

Lost in thought, he caught a glimpse towards the southeast of the Golden Sun Sect’s mountain gate where several solitary peaks stood.

The few solitary peaks are also on the spirit vein of the Golden Sun Sect, slightly weaker compared to the main peak, being a quasi-third tier spirit vein. However, due to being some distance from the main peak of the Golden Sun Sect,

and because the tops of those solitary peaks are relatively small, not suitable for hosting many people, they are designated as outer peaks by the Golden Sun Sect for the retirement of the elder members of the sect.

However, the outer peaks appear even more tranquil because of the sparse population, adding to their ethereal aura.

Back then, when Li Jizhou and the others came to participate in the test, there was a moment of embarrassment because of this.

Wu Daniu, that guy, excitedly told Li Jizhou that if they could join the Golden Sun Sect, they would be able to ascend to immortality atop those immortal peaks someday.

This scene caused Elder Jia, who was teaching at the time, to laughingly scold him for wanting to retire while still so young.

Pulling back his thoughts, Li Jizhou handed over his Honored Guest Elder jade pendant for registration and payment.

It turned out alright; the price was surprisingly comparable to that of the Wang family in Maple Forest.

Of course, this was due to the Honored Guest Elder discount and special arrangements made by the Miaodan Tower.

Entering the dojo, Li Jizhou conducted a thorough inspection to ensure it was all beneficial effects without any surveillance means.

Then he released Guagua, activating his innate illusion.

He also habitually activated two restriction talismans,

and finally took out a formation board to activate defense and shielding.

Then, he began his Foundation Establishment in this life.

The experience of Foundation Establishment from his past life was deeply ingrained in his memory. Although the cultivation technique differed in this life, the essence of Foundation Establishment was to transform Qi to liquid, turning the gaseous magical power within the dantian into liquid.

The dantian is the source of a cultivator, limited in size, and the spiritual qi power it can contain is also capped. Once at its limit, and since the dantian cannot grow larger, the goal is to cause a qualitative change within the magical power.

The objective is to enable it to contain more magical power!

From gaseous to liquid, and then to solid, this is the essence of Foundation Establishment and Core Formation.

The three major barriers of Foundation Establishment: Flesh and Blood Qi Barrier, Magical Power Barrier, and Divine Soul Barrier, are all approached perfectly in this life.

Being within the Golden Sun Sect ensures no disturbances.

After three days of breath regulation, he swallowed a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill in one gulp.

In that instant, spiritual qi inside the cave residence formed a vortex, ceaselessly flooding into Li Jizhou’s body…

Half a month later, it came as no surprise when a muffled boom of spiritual pressure eruption resonated from Li Jizhou’s cave residence.

The three major barriers of Foundation Establishment were flawlessly overcome.

At this moment, Li Jizhou gazed directly into his dantian,

inside, the surging Eternal Spring Magical Power began to mist, then tender and dripping, ultimately transforming into drops of verdant liquid magical power, falling within the dantian, with each drop feeling like a direct hit to the heart of a flower, bringing waves of pleasure and fulfillment to Li Jizhou.

——-

On the mountain outside the dojo, Steward Chen stood by Elder Xu’s side.

“It’s done! And quite smoothly at that.”

“From this, it seems the grand pill I developed to forcibly elevate one’s realm has absolutely no problem, and those cultivators who couldn’t overcome the Foundation Establishment barrier despite using the grand pill, well, the issue ultimately lies with themselves!” Elder Xu’s old face showed comfort.

“Indeed, those who took the grand pill before were mostly those of low talent; even without taking the grand pill, they couldn’t achieve Foundation Establishment.” Steward Chen nodded in agreement.

Another hour passed,

“Hmm, theoretically, after overcoming the three barriers, the qi should quickly transform into liquid; why hasn’t the spiritual qi on his dojo eased yet?” Elder Xu frowned with a tad of worry.

Steward Chen was also slightly concerned: “It should be fine; perhaps that kid’s cultivation of Evergreen Skill, known for its long-lasting magical power, means the liquid transformation takes a bit longer.”

“It’s indeed quite rare to see a successful Foundation Establishment through the primary cultivation of Evergreen Skill!” Elder Xu suddenly realized, having almost forgotten about this.

“This further proves that our grand pill has no issues!”

“Well said, all right then, wait here for the outcome and inform me when it’s done.” Nodding his head, Elder Xu turned and flew towards Miaodan Peak.

Two hours later,

Steward Chen’s brows were tightly knitted.

“Why hasn’t the liquid transformation completed yet?

Has the Evergreen Magical Power grown this enduring?

Let’s hope nothing goes wrong!”

Meanwhile, Li Jizhou remained calmly observing the changes within his dantian.

The magical power condensed into liquid, dropping bit by bit,

now, after three hours had passed, his dantian was akin to an ocean, until the last drop fell, seeming to stir up giant waves, setting the sea-like liquid magical power within the dantian to tumbling and roaring.

Truly, magical power like the sea!

“Phew~” Exhaling deeply, the Foundation Establishment in this life laid a perfect foundation.

Such vast dharma liquid rivaled even the mid-stage Foundation Establishment of his past life.

And after years, harvesting and releasing repeatedly, it completely differed from the critiqued location for its poor assault ability, the weak and scattered Evergreen Magical Power.

“Stay humble and cautious, the journey of a hundred miles is half done at ninety!

This is merely laying a good foundation for Core Formation!

Besides, having achieved Foundation Establishment in a previous life, there’s nothing worth celebrating, the real challenge lies in Core Formation, the disastrous failure from the past life is vivid in my mind.” Li Jizhou hid the hint of delight on his face, silently warned himself.
