An hour later, the third furnace was also declared a success. Thus, Chu Xuan refined two Foundation Establishnt Blood Pills.
Adding on the one Foundation Establishnt Pill he had obtained from Ouyang Hao's storage bag, he now had three chances to challenge the Foundation Establishnt stage!
"One Foundation Establishnt Pill can approximately increase the success rate of reaching the Foundation Establishnt stage by about thirty percent. With three chances, I am certain to succeed!"
Chu Xuan was exceedingly solemn.
The Path to Foundation Establishnt is the first threshold that all Qi Refining stage cultivators must overco since embarking on the path of cultivation.
Yet, of all Qi Refining stage cultivators, at least eighty percent are barred at this threshold.
If Foundation Establishnt Pills were plentiful, Chu Xuan felt, the number of cultivators advancing to the Foundation Establishnt stage could well be seventy to eighty percent.
But the path of cultivation is so rciless. Resources are scarce, yet the number of cultivators pursuing immortality is ever increasing.
If you advance, then I cannot. It is for this reason that Demonic Dao cultivators have co into being.
Chu Xuan shook his head, casting these miscellaneous thoughts out of his mind. He handed over Ouyang Hao's corpse to the likes of Long, Hu, Bao, and other corpse puppets for consumption. And instructed them to diligently guard the Haotai Hotel.
The flesh and blood of a Qi Refining Eighth Layer cultivator is a great nourishnt for them. After consuming it, they should all be able to advance by about one level.
(Perhaps so wonder why not turn him into a corpse puppet. Because the condition for refining the puppet must be that he is alive.)
He then began to adjust his body and mind. Having continuously refined pills for several days, he felt ntally exhausted.
In such a state, challenging the Foundation Establishnt stage was clearly not an optimal choice. He would adjust everything to the best condition before attempting the breakthrough.
Three days later.
Chu Xuan opened his eyes, his spirit trendously revitalized. He took out a Foundation Establishnt Pill and swallowed it in one gulp.
Buzz!
Under the guidance of his will, the power of the dicine surged like a great river, violently coursing through his limbs and bones. Round after round, the dicinal power swiftly transford into Spiritual Qi.
The dicinal power contained in Foundation Establishnt stage pills was far more formidable than that of the Qi Refining stage.
The mont he took the pill, Chu Xuan even felt as if his entire body was on the verge of bursting.
After running more than a dozen Great Heavenly Circuits, the newly born Spiritual Qi, under his guidance, rushed straight towards his Sea of Qi.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
Within the Sea of Qi, the Spiritual Qi had already expanded to its limit. Now, with a massive influx of Spiritual Qi, an intense sensation of swelling and pain erged imdiately.
This was precisely the function of the Foundation Establishnt Pill. Pouring a substantial amount of Spiritual Qi into an already brimming Sea of Qi in one go, forcing the gaseous Spiritual Qi to liquefy.
However, anyone familiar with physics knows that to liquefy a relatively inert gas requires imnse pressure.
If it doesn't succeed at once, it must be attempted again and again, until the dicinal power of the Foundation Establishnt Pill is entirely depleted. If the Spiritual Qi still cannot be liquefied, then more external dicinal power is required—aning a second Foundation Establishnt Pill.
This novel's true ho is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
Thus, the process is fraught with hardship. This is also the reason why many cultivators are unable to surpass this threshold.
Chu Xuan sat in ditation, repeatedly driving Spiritual Qi into his Sea of Qi.
Failure, failure, failure...
Initially, he could still feel intense pain. But as ti passed, the pain gradually numbed. He seed to be chanically compressing the Spiritual Qi.
Five days later, at one mont, he suddenly felt his body loosen. The external pressure had vanished. Chu Xuan examined his own body. It wasn't that the Spiritual Qi had been liquefied. Rather, the dicinal power of the Foundation Establishnt Pill had been exhausted.
Chu Xuan was not surprised. Instead, he picked up a Foundation Establishnt Blood Pill between his fingers, slapped it into his mouth, and continued to compress the Spiritual Qi.
Another five days passed.
Just like before, the dicinal power was depleted again. Chu Xuan did not hesitate; he imdiately consud the second Foundation Establishnt Blood Pill. He was neither disappointed nor discouraged. On the contrary, he was eager to try again.
For so reason, perhaps it was the destiny ordained by the cosmos, or maybe it was rely a premonition. He always felt, this ti, it would surely succeed.
Sure enough, the mont he swallowed the Foundation Establishnt Blood Pill, he felt an anomaly in his Sea of Qi. The formidable Spiritual Qi repeatedly collided and compressed.
At the bottom of the Sea of Qi, those countless tis compressed Spiritual Qi finally showed signs of liquefaction. At a certain mont, tiny droplets the size of rice grains appeared.
Drip!
The droplet fell to the bottom of the Sea of Qi. Its ergence seed to trigger a chain reaction. Imdiately, a large amount of Spiritual Qi began to liquefy.
Drip, drip!
In an instant, the bottom of the Sea of Qi accumulated into a small puddle. Within it, lay quietly a dozen droplets of liquefied Spiritual Qi! Chu Xuan felt complete relaxation throughout his body.
Boom!
At this mont, his aura surged explosively. A powerful aura swept across the rooftop, radiating vigorously in all directions. Dust was cleansed away.
Within a kiloter radius of the Haotai Hotel, a fierce wind blew at this mont.
The returning Long, Hu, and Bao were suddenly startled, looking towards the rooftop with reverence.
At this mont, Chu Xuan suddenly opened his eyes. A flash of brilliance in his eyes, filled with an awe-inspiring power.
"Foundation Establishnt stage!"
He clenched his fists, his face alight with excitent.
Foundation Establishnt stage cultivators can fly without the aid of external objects, utilizing light-escaping techniques. Of course, most Foundation Establishnt stage cultivators still use external aids, as it doesn't consu their own Spiritual Qi.
Additionally, there's an improvent in lifespan. Qi Refining stage cultivators have a lifespan similar to ordinary humans, around a hundred years. But for Foundation Establishnt stage cultivators, their lifespan skyrockets to two hundred years.
Of course, the most important aspect is that Foundation Establishnt stage cultivators can cultivate Foundation Establishnt stage techniques and spells. They can also refine their lifebound magic tool!
The so-called lifebound magic tool must be nurtured together with the soul and essence blood, making its manipulation as natural as moving one's own limbs. Its power far surpasses those ordinary magic tools that do not integrate the soul, providing a significant enhancent.
Moreover, a lifebound magic tool shares the cultivator's fortunes and misfortunes. As the cultivator's realm advances, so too does the grade of the lifebound magic tool. It is akin to a piece of equipnt that grows by itself.
These factors are fundantally why Foundation Establishnt stage cultivators are far superior to Qi Refining stage cultivators.
"Lifebound magic tools are very important; I must carefully choose and refine one myself," Chu Xuan decided not to use a ready-made magic tool, opting instead to craft his own.
Although this approach is more cumberso, it ensures a deeper understanding and mastery of his lifebound magic tool. Later on, this would make it much easier to wield.
Chu Xuan took out a copy of the Blood Evil Demon Refining Scripture and carefully perused it. The first section of the Blood Evil Demon Refining Scripture discussed various thods for crafting magic tools.
"Soul Haunting Spear, Spirit Breaking Knife, Life Snatching Sword, Shadowless Blade..."
Various magic tools flashed before his eyes.
So magic tools specialized in attacking the soul. So excelled at breaking through Spiritual Qi. So targeted the heart and vital organs. So were traceless and ghost-like.
Each had its unique uses.
After much deliberation of his fighting style, Chu Xuan finally chose a magic tool.
"Evil Soul Chain, it shall be you."
The Evil Soul Chain required Yin Evil Steel as the primary material, supplented by White Bone Bamboo, Intoxicating Vine, and five other materials. It would ultimately be imbued with a powerful, fierce soul.
After thirty-six days of continuous refinent, the Evil Soul Chain could be forged. Once activated, it could not only unleash a powerful, soul-lashing flying chain but also command the fierce soul to battle alongside.
A single magic tool, yet it could deliver double the effect. This was the formidable aspect of the Evil Soul Chain.
Furthermore, as strength increased, an even more powerful soul could replace the existing one in the Evil Soul Chain, doubling its strength.
"Yin Evil Steel... If this were on the Mystic Azure Realm, under the threat of orthodox sects, it would indeed be difficult to find. But here, it couldn't be easier."
Chu Xuan suddenly smiled.
