Perfect Foundation Establishment!

The Foundation Establishment Pill, as its name suggested, was a medicinal pill meant to lay the foundation for one's cultivation. Feng Wu had not expected the Qi Gathering Powder to undergo such a transformation.

"Looks like this Foundation Establishment Pill has an even higher grade." Feng Wu studied the system's description for a while, then tilted his head back and tossed the Foundation Establishment Pill straight into his mouth.

Since the system had already declared it Perfect Foundation Establishment, there was no need to reach too high.

If the Foundation Establishment Pill rose another grade, it would be fine if its effects merely became stronger. But if something went wrong, Feng Wu had nowhere else to trick another Qi Gathering Powder out of.

Feng Wu knew just how fragile a Martial Artist's meridians were during the Dou Qi stage. A Fourth Grade Foundation Establishment Pill was already beyond his imagination. If he used the potency of a Fifth Grade pill at this stage, he was afraid he would explode and die!

The Foundation Establishment Pill melted the moment it entered his mouth, transforming directly into fierce medicinal power that flowed into Feng Wu's abdomen. He immediately sat cross-legged and began establishing his foundation right there in the room.

The medicinal power dispersed the instant it entered his stomach, turning into surging Dou Qi and pill essence. In an instant, it filled Feng Wu's dantian, which had originally contained only nine strands of Dou Qi, to the brim!

An intense swelling sensation rose in his abdomen, and pain nearly made him explode!

Feng Wu did not dare delay. He hurriedly circulated his energy through a cycle, guiding the scorching power through the meridians of his body in an attempt to relieve the pressure.

But how immense was the energy of a Fourth Grade pill?

No matter how much power Feng Wu moved away, the Foundation Establishment Pill replenished just as much!

This made Feng Wu grateful that he had not greedily pursued a Fifth Grade Foundation Establishment Pill! Every medicine had its poison. Those novels where people established their foundations endlessly and practically stuffed a planet into their dantian were indeed lies!

Still, it was fine. Since the system said Feng Wu could use this Foundation Establishment Pill, it definitely would not let him burst to death.

After a short while, Feng Wu's dantian had been expanded by the Foundation Establishment Pill to more than twice its original size. Just as it resembled an overinflated balloon on the verge of bursting, it finally stopped!

Then, the true changes began!

Without Feng Wu's control or guidance, the Foundation Establishment Pill's medicinal power divided itself into three parts!

One part rose to the newly expanded barrier of his dantian. The medicinal power seeped into it, all becoming nourishment that reinforced and repaired the damage caused by the expansion!

Visible to the naked eye, Feng Wu's dantian barrier went from a precarious state to becoming stable. It grew stronger, thicker, and even wider!

The second part sank into the center of the nine strands of Dou Qi stored within his dantian. Compressing and drawing inward, it directly sought out each strand of Dou Qi!

It miraculously transformed into the same source of energy, attaching itself to and strengthening Feng Wu's Dou Qi Ninth Stage!

The nine strands of Dou Qi seemed to have encountered exquisite delicacies, accepting everything that came their way. They even began competing with one another for it.

Before long, the nine strands of Dou Qi within Feng Wu's dantian, originally only as thick as his little finger, had grown as broad as his index finger.

The final third of the medicinal power flowed through the meridians across his body, spreading throughout Feng Wu's limbs and bones!

It strengthened Feng Wu's meridians, sinews, bones, and blood throughout his entire body! It enhanced every aspect of his physical constitution!

Even the tiniest capillaries, as well as the small meridians Feng Wu himself had never known existed and had never actively circulated Dou Qi through, received tremendous strengthening!

Worthy indeed of a Foundation Establishment Pill!

Worthy indeed of being called Perfect Foundation Establishment!

It truly strengthened every aspect to perfection. Even when the pill's power traveled up his spine to his brainstem, Feng Wu could feel his mind become invigorated and his soul turn clear!

Feng Wu fully experienced the effects of foundation establishment. So this was how vast the gap between his former self and Perfect Foundation Establishment had been!

How could anyone else possibly make up for that?

However, foundation establishment was merely one effect of this Foundation Establishment Pill.

Its most fundamental core was still the Qi Gathering Powder's original ability: a one-hundred-percent chance of condensing a Dou Qi Cyclone!

Nearly an hour later, the medicinal power of the Foundation Establishment Pill inside Feng Wu's body had finally been almost completely absorbed. It was time to officially condense his Dou Qi Cyclone!

The nine strands of Dou Qi within his dantian had long carried a faint sense of merging together. Seeing that the time had come, Feng Wu hesitated no longer. He directly took control of his body and began actively accelerating the condensation of the Dou Qi Cyclone!

Feng Wu wanted to actively absorb the Dou Qi from the outside world to condense the Dou Qi Cyclone, because condensing one and advancing to Dou Zhe required a great deal of energy.

For a moment, an Air Wave formed around Feng Wu without any wind, as white tides of Dou Qi gathered toward him.

But then, a sudden change occurred!

Within Feng Wu's dantian, a fresh surge of Dou Qi suddenly emerged from nowhere. It was incomparably pure, and its quantity was considerable as well!

As though it did not wish for Feng Wu to absorb that mixed and impure external Dou Qi, this energy suddenly split off a portion and surged out through every pore of his body!

It forcefully scattered all the ownerless Dou Qi Feng Wu had gathered!

"Wonderful! It even prepared the pure Dou Qi needed to condense my Dou Qi Cyclone!" Feng Wu exclaimed in admiration. Given a choice, he did not want to use the impure Dou Qi from the outside world either.

Moreover, the pure Dou Qi provided by this Foundation Establishment Pill did not need to be purified again. He could use it whenever he wished!

Without anyone teaching him, Feng Wu got straight to work. At the same time, all the Dou Qi throughout his body flowed back into his meridians and returned to the dantian in his lower abdomen.

Only when his dantian was completely filled, and not a trace more Dou Qi could be squeezed from his body, did Feng Wu use his Soul Power to envelop all the Dou Qi, seize complete control over it, and begin compressing it madly!

Under Feng Wu's frenzied manipulation, the mass of Dou Qi within his dantian was easily compressed into a cloud-like mass of Dou Qi the size of a palm, slowly rotating!

Although the Dou Qi's resistance during compression was powerful, before Feng Wu's superhuman Soul Power, it was nothing more than a clown capable of struggling a little.

Once the Five Finger Mountain came down, no matter how violently the Dou Qi surged, it was suppressed into submission.

Looking at the Dou Qi Cyclone that had begun to rotate slowly, Feng Wu knew that he had actually succeeded already. As long as he waited a while longer and the Dou Qi Cyclone continued spinning without dispersing, he could finish his cultivation and officially become a Dou Zhe.

However, Feng Wu was still somewhat dissatisfied as he looked at the palm-sized Dou Qi vortex, which remained in the form of dense smoke.

"Compress it more!" Feng Wu did something no one else would dare to do, sending his Soul Power to envelop the formed Dou Qi Cyclone once again!

Had an elder been present, they would surely have cursed Feng Wu for courting death!

If he exerted too much force and accidentally scattered the Dou Qi Cyclone, he would not merely fall back to Dou Qi Level Eight!

It would be equivalent to having his dantian forcibly shattered by an external force. In truth, it would be no different from having his cultivation crippled!

But perhaps it was the Foundation Establishment Pill's protection, perhaps it was because the Dou Qi Cyclone had not fully taken shape yet, or perhaps it was fate!

Feng Wu succeeded!

With a muffled Bang, Feng Wu's aura abruptly changed and soared sharply. Feng Wu opened his eyes. He knew that he had successfully condensed his Dou Qi Cyclone!

At that moment, a palm-sized mass of energy slowly rotated within his dantian. It was Dou Qi compressed to the utmost limit, in a dense mist-like state. It even seemed as though it might drip at any moment, as if it were about to turn into Liquid State!

The Dou Qi Cyclone—this was the defining mark of becoming a Dou Zhe!
