Critical Point Method
Chen Mobai didn't have any particular requirements regarding where he lived.
He could be content with the environment of Green Light Island, let alone the mountain Villa with water, electricity, internet, and spiritual energy here at the Immortal Sect.
However, after the agent left, he took a closer look and discovered...
Why does this wooden house look so much like it was made with Talisman? I took a few photos and sent them to the owner of the Wood Spirit Talisman Shop, who gave me an accurate answer after examining them.
That's it.
Chen Mobai could only lament that even the construction industry couldn't make money in the cultivation civilization.
He checked the registered rental agreement again and confirmed that the land on which the wooden house was located was legal, which put his mind at ease.
Since it had already been cleaned once with Cleaning Spell, the cabin was now spotless.
After buying some basic necessities, he returned to the Wuqi Dao Academy.
On the welcoming stone platform, the two senior students were still there, and Chen Mobai went over to greet them.
Since the Wuqi Dao Academy used to recruit a maximum of 49 people each year, it expanded its enrollment this year due to pressure from the Immortal Sect, but the total number is still relatively small. Therefore, the two senior students in charge of welcoming the new students are quite relaxed.
Chen Mobai chatted with them for a while and finally learned their names.
The senior's name is Meng Mu.
The senior's name is Qu Hongyu.
They are all Seventh Grade students, with the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer at its peak, and they are all preparing to attempt Foundation Establishment this year.
"By the way, have you seniors ever used the Foundation Establishment Treasure?"
Chen Mobai thought of this software and wanted to know if there were any other factors that could be added to improve the success rate of Foundation Establishment.
"We used both of those methods. If we follow the conditions we envisioned, we should have a 55% chance of successfully Foundation Establishment."
Qu Hongyu's words immediately surprised Chen Mobai.
With the resources of the Immortal Sect, how could they increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment to over 50% without Foundation Establishment? Could it be that the Four Great Dao Academies possess some unknown elixirs, even more potent than Foundation Establishment Pills?
If you don't understand, just ask.
Chen Mobai immediately asked for advice humbly.
Since Chen Mobai was the only new student today, Qu Hongyu was happy to give this junior a few pointers. She began to talk about the Dao Academy's in-depth research on Foundation Establishment.
"The so-called Foundation Establishment is the most important transformation in the process of cultivating immortality. Only by passing this stage can one be considered a true cultivator. It is for this reason that Foundation Establishment Cultivator are called 'true cultivators'."
"To successfully complete the Foundation Establishment stage, three steps are required. These steps target our essence, energy, and spirit, namely our physical body, spiritual power, and Spiritual Sense; none of them can be missing."
"The process of Foundation Establishment involves the physical body Tendon Cleansing Marrow Washing, the spiritual energy Condensing Qi into Liquid, Spiritual Sense Projection leaving the body. Because these three processes need to be completed in one go during Foundation Establishment, the chance of failure is very high."
"It is precisely for this reason that the Foundation Establishment Trio, jointly developed by the Immortal Sect and the Daoist Academy, are designed for these three steps, enabling cultivators to at least go through the process of transformation of essence, energy, and spirit."
"However, although the Foundation Establishment Trio are very mysterious, they are after all just a patchwork of Foundation Establishment Pills and cannot play a role in the final leap of the unified sublimation of essence, qi and spirit. Therefore, the key to whether one can Foundation Establishment lies in the cultivator's own will."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded in agreement; he had grasped the most crucial point.
Foundation Establishment is still the best.
At this moment, Qu Hongyu saw his humble and eager-to-learn attitude and felt that he was teachable, so she continued her lecture.
"But willpower is such a mysterious thing. So, in order to greatly increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment, the leaders of the Immortal Sect eight hundred years ago took the lead and had the Goumang Dao Academy and the Imperial Medical Academy begin to study this transformation process more deeply."
"After observing cultivators Foundation Establishment thousands of times, we finally summarized a set of ' Critical Point Method '."
"This technique can help cultivators reach the critical point of transformation of essence, energy and spirit, so that cultivators no longer need to spend energy in the first three steps of transformation, and only need to devote all their spirit to the final leap and sublimation."
"As expected, the success rate of Foundation Establishment has greatly increased. In the last few hundred years, the students of our Four Great Dao Academies who have successfully cultivated the Critical Point Method, combined with the Foundation Establishment Trio and other external conditions, have achieved a success rate of over 50% in Foundation Establishment."
Chen Mobai was a little confused after hearing this.
He didn't understand what the Critical Point Method was, or how to "catch" the transformation of essence, energy, and spirit. He continued to humbly ask for clarification.
Qu Hongyu was patient and added him as a friend, sending him a document.
Then she had Chen Mobai open the document, and as she read it, she explained it to him.
"To give a simple example, during the Foundation Establishment process, the body Tendon Cleansing Marrow Washing. You can complete Tendon Cleansing Marrow Washing before Foundation Establishment."
"After the physical body undergoes transformation, it will automatically activate spiritual energy to begin Condensing Qi into Liquid. Many people can only achieve the first step of physical transformation due to their limited resources, and are unable to complete the Condensing Qi into Liquid."
"But with the Critical Point Method, you can interrupt this linkage and stop it directly after the first step of physical Tendon Cleansing Marrow Washing. Wait until you feel enough spiritual energy to Condensing Qi into Liquid before releasing the restriction and starting this step."
"In this way, if you have enough reserves, you can naturally complete the three major steps in one go and achieve a leap forward. If you don't have enough reserves, then after the second step of Condensing Qi into Liquid, you should stop again to prevent your Spiritual Sense Projection from leaving your body."
"This is the Critical Point Method, inspired by the Ancient Method ' Jade Lock Golden Gate Art ' by a genius from the Goumang Dao Academy."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
For the Immortal Sect, this was an earth-shattering Merit.
No wonder the success rate of Foundation Establishment among the Four Great Dao Academies can reach 80% to 90%.
However, why isn't such an extraordinary method spread to the general public? If it were in the Sky River Realm, it would definitely be kept secret and treasured.
However, within the Immortal Sect, even the latest research knowledge can be viewed and accessed for a fee on specific Immortal Sect Network, provided the public is willing.
Chen Mobai asked Qu Hongyu about this question, and the latter shook her head after listening.
"The Immortal Sect has promoted this technique before, but it has a flaw: the threshold for cultivation is extremely high. Ordinary people may not even be able to get started even after decades of practice. Those who have that much time can try to reach the Foundation Establishment."
How tall?
Chen Mobai was extremely uneasy. He had recently found it difficult to comprehend the Longevity Sutra and the Two Aspects Technique. If the Critical Point Method was truly obscure and difficult, he felt that he might be destined to never be able to master it.
"Our Four Great Dao Academies are considered good, after all, the students who can be admitted to us are all geniuses, and eight or nine out of ten can comprehend it."
Hearing this, Chen Mobai breathed a slight sigh of relief. Although he was admitted with the lowest score, he believed it was because he broke through to the Late Qi Cultivation too late and didn't have time to study.
He must be a genius to be able to enter the Wuqi Dao Academy; there's no way he couldn't comprehend it.
"But after the Critical Point Method was passed down to the Ten Great Academies, only one percent of the people were able to comprehend it."
"Not to mention the Hundred and Twenty Mansions, even if you add up the students from all 120 universities, there might not be a single person who can successfully comprehend it."
