Chapter 600 – Perfection in Foundation Establishment
Chapter 600 – Foundation Building Perfection
The thought flashed by and a small silver-white ball appeared in his hand.
The small ball dripped and spun, the size of a thumbtip, and within it, a pure white mist could be seen condensing and escaping from time to time.
The part of his palm that was in contact with the small ball, could clearly perceive an extremely cold aura, with Lu Xuan’s current physical body’s strength, he could still have this feeling, so it could be seen that the silver-white small ball was how cold it was.
His spiritual energy surged, dissipating the cold aura coming from his palm, and his mind condensed on the small silver-white ball, and instantly, detailed information about this treasure appeared in his mind.
[Ice Spirit Pill, Fourth Grade Treasure, condensed from a hundred years of ice spirit collected under an extremely deep glacier, contains a powerful aura of extreme cold, can be used to attack the enemy, instantly erupting into a raging wave of cold upon release, or can be refined and swallowed into the body to enhance the cultivation speed of certain ice-based special techniques].
“A fourth grade treasure ……”
Lu Xuan sighed, not as joyful as he had imagined, a third-grade Ice Glow Grass being able to open up a fourth-grade treasure was, by all accounts, already quite good, but to his regret, there was no reward for the cultivation that he now had his heart set on.
However, he quickly adjusted his mindset over, when he planted the second-grade Water Glow Grass earlier, the light clusters that could open up cultivation were only a small portion, and it was understandable that one did not open up.
“Speaking of which, this Ice Pill is a bit interesting, and is in the same vein as the previous Water Glow Grass’s light cluster reward.”
He remembered that he had opened out a third-grade Hundred Years Ice Pill from the Water Glow Grass Light Cluster, while this Ice Pill was a Hundred Years Ice Pill condensed, which was considered its advanced version.
“There are still two plants, it doesn’t look like it has much time before it matures, should we open the rewards by the way.”
He couldn’t hold back his inner curiosity, the light green colored light cluster within his dantian rotated slightly, a trace of green wood source qi surged out from his fingertips and seeped into the Ice Glow Grass plant.
A few moments later, the progress underneath the two Ice Glow Grass plants pulled up in unison, and since the grade wasn’t very high, along with the fact that it hadn’t been long since it matured, the amount of Cyan Wood Source Qi consumed wasn’t a lot.
“Light cluster, open up some cultivation!”
Lu Xuan prayed devoutly, holding his breath as he carefully picked one of the plants down.
Afterward, he gently touched the white light cluster that quietly surfaced at the location of the Ice Glow Grass.
A thought surfaced in his sea of consciousness.
[Harvested one third-grade Ice Glow Grass and received a five-year cultivation reward.]
As the thought flashed by, Lu Xuan did not have time to be happy before a large amount of spiritual energy surged within his body, like surging waves, crazily
impacting his limbs and bones.
He operated the Great Five Elements Technique, guiding the large amount of spiritual energy that appeared out of nowhere, transforming it into drops of pure spiritual liquid and integrating it into his dantian.
“It’s about to reach Foundation Establishment Perfection.”
He opened his eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but rise as the light in his eyes flickered.
At this moment, he felt that the spiritual qi in his body had reached the limit of what his dantian could carry, and he was only a hair’s breadth away from breaking through to Foundation Establishment Perfection.
The cultivation reward opened up inside the Ice Glow Grass light cluster, causing his hanging heart to relax.
This meant that in the future, he could still plant his fields peacefully and without any distractions, and as for his cultivation, he could obtain it by harvesting the harvested light clusters.
“The ordinary quality Ice Glow Grass, which prescribes a five-year cultivation reward, is five times that of the Water Glow Grass of the same ordinary quality.”
“By that speculation, good quality might be ten years.”
“It’s just that when one breaks through to the JieDan realm, the cultivation reward might weaken due to downgrading to cultivate spirit plants.”
Lu Xuan thought secretly in his heart.
He glanced at the remaining well-catalyzed Icefly Grass next to him and simply picked it out as well.
“Good quality ones this isn’t coming.”
Lu Xuan was secretly happy in his heart as he reached out and gently touched the surface of the light mass.
The light mass shattered noiselessly, transforming into a river of light that surged into Lu Xuan’s body.
Immediately afterward, a thought quietly flashed through his mind. [Harvested one Third Grade Ice Glow Grass and received a ten-year cultivation reward.]
Just as the thought disappeared, a spiritual energy twice as thick as the one he had just experienced appeared within Lu Xuan’s body, surging like a shocking wave.
Lu Xuan hurriedly operated his gong method, continuously absorbing and refining the spiritual energy.
Slowly, the pure spiritual liquid accumulated in the dantian became more and more viscous, and eventually, the dantian violently contracted and expanded, and Lu Xuan’s breath rose by a large margin.
“Foundation Establishment is complete.”
Lu Xuan felt the much thicker spiritual energy in his body and secretly sighed.
At this moment, he had a thousand thoughts in his mind, and apart from joy, there were more emotions and memories.
Reminiscing back then, when he was still a small casual cultivator at the second level of Qi Practicing, in order to master a livelihood, he borrowed a few Spirit Stones from Big Brother Zhang Hong Zhang, who lived next door, to rent a Spirit Field and buy Spirit Seeds.
Unexpectedly, from the moment the spirit plant matured and harvested the white light mass, his cultivation career had changed drastically.
Not only did he survive peacefully in the scattered cultivator’s workshop, but he was also able to enter the Heavenly Sword Sect, continuously cultivating the spirit plants and harvesting the light clusters.
In a short span of twenty to thirty years, he had grown from a small casual cultivator at the second level of Qi cultivation to the complete Foundation Establishment realm, and could still glimpse the possibility of conjugating dan or even YuanYing in the future.
“With such a cultivation speed, even when compared to Heavenly Sword Sect’s cultivation geniuses such as Ge Park, Seed Jing Shan, and Jian Wu Xia, it’s highly likely that it’s only faster but not slower.”
He secretly lamented in his heart.
“It’s a good thing that no one in the Thunderfire Star Cave recognizes and doesn’t know my specific cultivation years as well as my cultivation qualifications, otherwise, I’m afraid that it would lead to some trouble.”
“Next, it’s better to honestly stay in the Thunderfire Star Cave, cultivate the spirit plants, harvest the light clusters, and at the same time, prepare the matters for the conjugation of the dan.”
Lu Xuan secretly made a plan.
He did not intend to pick the remaining four Ice Glow Grasses and harvest the light clusters, but instead, he was going to use them all to condense the seeds.
The Ice Glow Grass was a modification of the Water Glow Grass, and the method of seed condensation wasn’t much different. Lu Xuan also possessed the ability to grasp the state of the spirit plant, and could make subtle adjustments to condense the spirit seed.
“When a batch of Spirit Seeds are harvested, we can harvest the light clusters while continuing to accumulate the Spirit Seeds.”
“The Light Cluster cultivation rewards are five, ten, and fifteen years at the Foundation Establishment Stage depending on the quality of the Spirit Plants, and with the addition of the Water Glow Grass planted, the time it takes to wait until the breakthrough to JieDan will be shortened by quite a bit.”
“In addition, there’s still a need to prepare for the JieDan follow-up technique.”
The Great Five Elements Technique obtained from the Heavenly Sword Sect didn’t have a post-crystallization technique, so Lu Xuan had to prepare for it in advance.
Although cultivation was basically gained from the light mass, pour should still have the feats.
Of course, it would be even better to be able to open it from inside the light mass.
Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Awareness swept over the many fifth and sixth grade spiritual plants in the cave, and a hint of anticipation flowed in his eyes.
“I’ll also try to collect some elixir spirits that can increase the probability of conjugating the dan, so that I can succeed in one fell swoop as much as possible.”
The breakthrough from Foundation Establishment to the JieDan realm was like a heavenly rift, and the difficulty was much higher than when breaking through Foundation Establishment.
If he wanted to make a successful breakthrough, he had to prepare some more corresponding pills and spiritual substances, which he likewise hoped to obtain from the light cluster.
“The two Sacred Infant Fruit strains will mature in a few years, I wonder if they will be able to produce another fifth grade Sacred Infant Dan.”
He couldn’t help but think in his mind.
