Chapter 81: Chapter 80: Foundation Establishment Pill Achieved, Perfect Foundation Establishment!

Condensing liquid into pill, the most crucial step in the alchemy process.

At the same time, it’s also the most difficult step.

This step requires the alchemist to grasp the timing and intensity of the fire with extreme precision.

After refining the pill liquid with high-temperature flames, quickly lowering the temperature in the pill furnace to a certain point in a short time.

This is extremely difficult for ordinary alchemists.

But for Lin Chen, who uses instruments for alchemy, it’s not so complicated.

“Pill solidifying stage… the temperature in the furnace needs to drop by about three thousand degrees.”

Lin Chen murmured to himself, he could only roughly judge the temperature range, the exact temperature still needed to be tried.

So, unsurprisingly, the first attempt failed.

The entire furnace of Foundation Establishment Pills was ruined.

Later, Lin Chen began his second and third attempts.

He failed a total of six times.

Finally, Lin Chen got an accurate temperature.

Within ten seconds, the temperature inside the furnace needed to drop from 3389 degrees to around 350 degrees.

Until the evening.

The first furnace of Foundation Establishment Pills refined by Lin Chen was done!

A round Foundation Establishment Pill, wrapped in Wood Element True Essence, slowly fell into his hand.

Lin Chen sniffed the pill lightly, and after carefully identifying it, his face showed a trace of joy.

“It’s a Middle Grade Foundation Establishment Pill!”

The alchemy process was completed with instruments, yielding almost no error.

It surpassed most alchemists, successfully achieving Middle Grade Foundation Establishment Pill quality, with efficacy several times better than ordinary Foundation Establishment Pills.

“But, is Middle Grade Foundation Establishment Pill the limit of instrument-aided alchemy?”

Lin Chen pondered carefully.

After all, it was his first time successfully refining a Foundation Establishment Pill, there were still some slight mistakes.

If he could make the temperature more precise, or reduce other errors, was there a possibility of refining an Upper Grade Foundation Establishment Pill?

He decided to act on it.

Lin Chen first called his uncle and aunt, telling them he wouldn’t be going home tonight.

After that, Lin Chen spent an entire night refining Foundation Establishment Pills.

As a Qi Refining Perfect Cultivator, his Essence, Qi, and Spirit far surpassed ordinary people.

Even after refining all night, Lin Chen’s spirit remained strong.

Until the next afternoon.

Lin Chen snapped his fingers, and six furnaces of Foundation Establishment Pills were completed simultaneously.

Among them, one furnace produced waste pills, four furnaces produced Middle Grade Foundation Establishment Pills.

And one furnace…

The pill bore the faint appearance of a mysterious pill pattern.

This is, an Upper Grade Foundation Establishment Pill!

“In total, twenty-three furnaces of Foundation Establishment Pills, with twenty successfully formed.”

“Among them, five Lower Grade, twelve Middle Grade Foundation Establishment Pills… Upper Grade Foundation Establishment Pills, a total of three!”

Lin Chen raised his eyebrows.

This pill formation success rate and pill quality are astonishing!

Han Jihai once told Lin Chen that his success rate for refining Foundation Establishment Pills was only sixty percent.

And over ninety percent of them were Lower Grade Foundation Establishment Pills.

The success rate of refining Upper Grade Foundation Establishment Pills was only one percent!

“Using instruments for alchemy is like having a cheat code!”

“Except for Top Grade Pills that are impossible to refine… compared to ordinary alchemists, it’s simply overwhelming.”

Lin Chen carefully packed the five freshly refined pills.

Now, he had a total of twenty-seven Foundation Establishment Pills in his hand.

Among them, there were as many as six Upper Grade Foundation Establishment Pills!

“This time, I will definitely achieve Perfect Foundation Establishment!”

Lin Chen was in a very good mood, as Perfect Foundation Establishment meant a smoother and longer path in his future cultivation.

“I am only one step away from Qi Refining Perfection in my cultivation.”

“I aim to complete Foundation Establishment within the next few days…”

Lin Chen thought to himself.

The commotion of breaking through to Foundation Establishment is not small.

If he completed the breakthrough in the Cultivation Realm, it would inevitably attract others’ attention.

But breaking through on Blue Star is extremely safe and can perfectly cover up the breakthrough commotion.

In the following two days, Lin Chen focused more on Qi Refining.

Every day he cultivated for more than eight two-hours, and dozens of Spirit Stones turned to dust.

With such resource-intensive cultivation, Lin Chen finally cultivated the Qi Refining Chapter to Perfection.

At the same time, Lin Chen’s cultivation level reached Qi Refining Perfection.

Upon reaching Qi Refining Perfection, Lin Chen did not immediately break through.

Instead, he calmed his mind and adjusted his state.

Foundation Establishment is not something that can be accomplished in an instant.

According to Lin Chen’s knowledge, breaking through to Foundation Establishment may take an entire day, continuously impacting the Foundation Establishment bottleneck.

Therefore, he needed to ensure his Essence, Qi, and Spirit were in their most perfect state.

…

On the fifth day of Lin Chen’s return to Blue Star.

Escorted by Li Nian, he returned to the Martial Arts Palace.

Here, there was a specially created safe house for him.

“Brother Li, I entrust my safety to you for the time being…”

Lin Chen stood in front of the room and said to Li Nian.

Regarding serious matters, Li Nian nodded solemnly:

“Rest assured, no one will disturb you for the next day, I promise it!”

Lin Chen felt assured and entered the safe house.

Inside, the Spiritual Energy was abundant, comparable to or even surpassing that of Pill Peak.

Here, there was a micro spirit gathering array, only about ten feet in radius.

It was prepared by Lin Chen specifically for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Standing at the center of the micro spirit gathering array, Lin Chen waved his hand.

Hundreds of Spirit Stones scattered around him.

After that, Lin Chen sat cross-legged, continuously absorbing Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Stones, channeling it into his Dantian.

During the Qi Refining Stage, the Dantian’s capacity is limited.

With only intake and no discharge, the Spiritual Energy inevitably overflowed.

But the Spiritual Energy absorbed into the body continuously washed over the Dantian, purifying the Spiritual Energy.

This is the first step of Foundation Establishment, purifying True Essence.

As the Spirit Stones around him turned to dust one by one, the True Essence Magical Power in Lin Chen’s Dantian became more refined.

Until several two-hours later.

When Lin Chen could no longer increase his Magical Power, and the True Essence began to continuously leak.

It was time to formally commence the second stage of Foundation Establishment.

Solidifying True Essence.

Lin Chen took the first Upper Grade Foundation Establishment Pill.

As the pill’s efficacy was absorbed by his body, it was like an accelerator being turned on.

The True Essence Spiritual Qi in Lin Chen’s Dantian began to continuously accumulate and solidify.

Initially, the Spiritual Energy filling his Dantian reduced to occupying only one-third of the space.

Subsequently, Lin Chen continued absorbing Spiritual Energy.

Until a solid form appeared in the Dantian, akin to a Pill Platform.

This is the Foundation Establishment Pill Platform.

This Pill Platform was fully integrated, with Spiritual Energy overflowing from it.

The True Essence Magical Power contained in the Pill Platform alone was more than double that of Lin Chen’s Qi Refining Perfection.

With the Pill Platform solidified, the Foundation Establishment was complete.

At this moment, whenever Lin Chen wished, he could instantly complete Foundation Establishment.

However, Lower Grade Foundation Establishment was not his goal.

Thus, Lin Chen took a second Upper Grade Foundation Establishment Pill.

As the efficacy of the Foundation Establishment Pill kicked in, Lin Chen increased the absorption speed of Spiritual Energy.

The Spiritual Energy entering his body, solidifying, became part of the Pill Platform.

The originally indistinct Pill Platform became increasingly clearer.

Third, fifth, tenth Foundation Establishment Pill…

The sun gradually moved westward.

Inside the safe house, the floor was covered with layers of Spirit Stone powder.

Lin Chen also reached the critical moment of Foundation Establishment.

Under Divine Soul Internal Observation, Lin Chen’s Dantian’s Foundation Establishment Pill Platform seemed to be inlaid with a layer of silver.

At this moment, Lin Chen had achieved Upper Grade Foundation Establishment.

Within that silvery white, traces of golden color were faintly visible.

Lin Chen then took a Middle Grade Foundation Establishment Pill.

As the Spiritual Energy continued to solidify, the details of the Foundation Establishment Pill Platform became clearer and lifelike.

At the same time, the faint golden hue grew even more dazzling.

Five, ten…

Another ten Middle Grade Foundation Establishment Pills were consumed.

Until the next morning, when the first rays of sunlight fell on Lin Chen.

Under Divine Soul Internal Observation, not only the sunlight was golden…

But also the Foundation Establishment Pill Platform within his Dantian.

At this point, Perfect Foundation Establishment was achieved!

Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes, the leaked True Essence aura continually receding.

A smile appeared on his lips.

“Finally, Perfect Foundation Establishment… accomplished!”
