Bi-Sea Tide Sound Technique

The medicinal power of the Foundation Establishment Pill dissolved in his dantian, absorbed by Zhou Er, and slowly nourished the meridians throughout his body.

Zhou Er, following his pre-rehearsed plan, began to continuously compress the mana within him, cautiously attempting it time and again.

Three days later, Zhou Er exhaled a long breath of stale air. The medicinal power of the Foundation Establishment Pill had been completely refined.

However, the mana within him still showed no signs of liquefaction. His spiritual soul had become more solidified, but it was still far from Spiritual Sense Projection.

Fortunately, Zhou Er's body had not encountered any major issues.

One Foundation Establishment Pill was ultimately too little.

Yet, Zhou Er was still unwilling to leave now.

[Foundation Consolidation (White): Stabilizes meridians and dantian, increasing Foundation Establishment probability by 20%.]

Zhou Er looked at the Foundation Consolidation attribute. Even without a Foundation Establishment Pill now, the combined conditions gave him over a 40% success rate.

Moreover, the Foundation Consolidation attribute also had the effect of stabilizing meridians and dantian, playing a partial role of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

"One last try."

Zhou Er made up his mind.

After consuming a pair of Bigu Pills, Zhou Er rested for two days, restoring his body and mental state to their peak.

Then, he began to attempt it once more.

This time, without the aid of the Foundation Establishment Pill, the Mana Surge caused him to feel obvious discomfort in his body.

This discomfort was considered normal, and Zhou Er could endure it with gritted teeth.

After five days of arduous cultivation, Zhou Er opened his eyes. Under the enhancement of Spiritual Sense, he could see the flow of spiritual energy around him.

He finally witnessed the world through the eyes of a Foundation Establishment Expert. It was indeed different from the world seen by a Mortal.

"It worked!"

Zhou Er breathed a sigh of relief.

However, with the buff of the Foundation Consolidation attribute, even if he had failed this time, he would have been able to recover his body in less than half a year and try again.

Now that he had successfully established his foundation, after scanning the surrounding environment with his spiritual sense, Zhou Er began to cultivate the Qi Gathering Technique to stabilize his cultivation.

Half a month later.

[Name: Zhou Er]

[Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Early Stage (0.31%)]

[Equipment Slot (2/3): Golden Cicada Slough, Storage Bag.]

[Unsolidified Attributes: Cicada Concealment (Green), Void Breaking (White).]

[Solidified Attributes: True Essence Flow (White), Blood Qi Abundance (White), Mind Stabilization...]

After half a month of cultivation, Zhou Er's cultivation has completely stabilized.

The difficulty of Foundation Establishment cultivation is tens of times greater than Qi Refining.

With a day of arduous cultivation, Zhou Er could only increase his cultivation progress by about two ten-thousandths.

If he wanted to break through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, it would take at least ten years.

No wonder those Foundation Establishment cultivators would go into seclusion for months or even years at a time.

Without such a long period of cultivation, no progress could be seen.

Fortunately, Foundation Establishment only has four minor realms: early, middle, late, and peak.

It's not as complicated as Qi Refining, which has twelve layers.

[Cicada Concealment (Green): Like a golden cicada hiding underground, cultivators at Golden Core stage and below will be unable to detect any of your information with their Spiritual Sense.]

[Solidification Condition: Remain in a Dark Environment for three thousand hours. (2381/3000)]

During this nearly month-long secluded cultivation, the solidification progress of Cicada Concealment increased significantly.

With a few more months of seclusion, it was estimated that it could be solidified successfully.

The time in the Seclusion Chamber was almost up, and Zhou Er had no intention of extending it, so he left the Seclusion Chamber.

He found the person managing the Seclusion Chamber. The person couldn't tell if Zhou Er had successfully broken through and didn't know whether to congratulate him or offer comfort.

Zhou Er was too lazy to waste any more time. He settled the Spirit Stones and immediately left Bashui Immortal City.

Within an hour, Zhou Er returned to Fanhua Island.

"You're back."

Bai Zhuozhuo greeted him when she saw Zhou Er return.

Zhou Er scanned Bai Zhuozhuo with his Spiritual Sense and found that her injuries had almost completely recovered.

"Mm!"

Zhou Er nodded.

Inside the Cave Mansion, Gu Fan greeted him with surprise and joy.

A Short Separation Makes the Reunion Sweeter. Gu Fan pulled Zhou Er, asking him about his trip.

Zhou Er had already prepared a story and answered with ease.

As they chatted, the two returned to their room and engaged in a fierce battle for several hours, harmonizing the Yin-Yang Qi within their bodies.

After the battle, Gu Fan felt all her bones had gone soft. She realized that Zhou Er's strength had become terrifying after being away for a month.

Previously, she wouldn't say she had the upper hand, but she could handle him with ease. Now, she couldn't cope at all and could only let Zhou Er accommodate her.

After Zhou Er reached Foundation Establishment, his life level had changed to a certain extent. Dealing with Gu Fan, who was still in Qi Refining, was naturally effortless.

"Brother Er, we haven't seen each other for a month, and you've made me a bit difficult to deal with," Gu Fan said, lying in Zhou Er's arms.

"Sister Fan, perhaps it's because we haven't seen each other for a month and I missed you too much. Rest well and don't overthink it," Zhou Er said, stroking Gu Fan's soft hair.

After coaxing the exhausted Gu Fan to sleep, he got up and left the room.

After Foundation Establishment, his divine soul condensed. As long as he didn't do anything too mentally taxing and only meditated and cultivated, he could recover his energy.

After balancing the hot Yang Qi in his body, Zhou Er returned to his room, sat on the meditation cushion, and cultivated properly.

After cultivating for a few hours, Zhou Er's spirit was fully restored.

"This Qi Gathering Technique is still too low-level, and its cultivation efficiency is low," Zhou Er thought. It was time for him to switch to a new cultivation technique.

This Qi Gathering Technique could no longer keep up with the cultivation rhythm of Foundation Establishment.

However, when it came to switching techniques, he didn't have many options.

At most, he could only cultivate the Gu Family's techniques.

Or, there was the Bi-Sea Tide Sound Technique left by Gu Fan's Mother.

Originally, he had planned to cultivate a Five Elements Technique. After all, focusing solely on one attribute had too many constraints and its weaknesses were too obvious.

However, finding a technique that achieved Five Elements Balance was too difficult.

He had already reached Foundation Establishment and couldn't delay any longer. It was best to cultivate the Bi-Sea Tide Sound Technique as soon as possible.

Moreover, the Bi-Sea Tide Sound Technique had a method for cultivating heavy water, which perfectly matched the Heavy Water Cage spell.

His current heavy water was only two to three times heavier than ordinary water, and there was still a lot of room for improvement.

"It is said that Great Powers who cultivate Heavy Water can compress it to tens of millions of times its weight at most. A single drop of water can be used as an extremely dangerous weapon."

Zhou Er had no other options, so he decided to switch to cultivating the Bi-Sea Tide Sound Technique.

The complete Bi-Sea Tide Sound Technique could be cultivated up to the Nascent Soul Realm, but the fragment left by Mother Gu only allowed cultivation up to the Golden Core Realm.

For Zhou Er now, that was enough.

The cultivation technique was in Gu Fan's possession, and Zhou Er needed to obtain it from her.

The two were Dao Companions who knew each other well. Gu Fan immediately took out the Bi-Sea Tide Sound Technique for Zhou Er to cultivate.

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

Because the Qi Gathering Technique Zhou Er previously cultivated had no elemental attribute for his mana, switching was very smooth. Within a few days, his mana conversion was complete.

The Bi-Sea Tide Sound Technique's cultivation speed was about fifty percent faster than the Qi Gathering Technique, and it was also very smooth to cultivate. As Zhou Er's Proficiency increased, the efficiency would be even higher in the future.

However, Zhou Er knew that his cultivation Foundation was never these cultivation techniques, but rather the Attributes. It was the Accumulation of these Attributes that had made him who he is today.

Therefore, what he needed most now was to Collect more Treasures and Attributes.

He calculated the Spirit Stones he had on hand, about a thousand. These were the Accumulation of past years. He might not be able to afford a Magic Treasure, but he could still afford a top-tier Magic Tool.

Moreover, he had now reached Foundation Establishment, which was enough to unleash the power of a top-tier Magic Tool, and it was also very Suitable to use one.

As for the Ruyi Ring, that small Copper Ring, it was completely insufficient for Zhou Er now.

Besides his own Spirit Stones, Gu Fan could also provide him with some. Now that Fanhua Island was undergoing Reconstruction, the island could also Stable Output resources, and she had become more Abundant in Spirit Stones.

"Sister Fan, I plan to get a new set of Magic Tools. I'm switching to cultivating the Bi-Sea Tide Sound Technique now, and the Ruyi Ring no longer Fits me." Zhou Er said to Gu Fan.

"Indeed, your Ruyi Ring is an Earth Attribute Magic Tool. Now that you're switching to the Bi-Sea Tide Sound Technique, you need a Water Attribute Magic Tool even more." Gu Fan also felt that Zhou Er needed a new Magic Tool.

"In that case, we can go take a look at the Family Treasury." Gu Fan said.

Most of the items in Wanbao Pavilion were ordinary. The family treasuries of each clan, on the other hand, held their own unique collections.

However, the items in the family treasury could not be bought with Spirit Stones alone; one's contribution to the family was also a factor.

Gu Fan's own contribution was naturally insufficient, but her parents' contribution was definitely enough.

It was just that the bequests from her parents would diminish with each use, so it was best to avoid using them if possible.

Now, Zhou Er needed a magical artifact, which meant it was time for Gu Fan to use them.

Over the past two years, Gu Fan had unconsciously shifted her focus to Zhou Er.

"Sister Fan, you're so good to me."

Zhou Er said, moved.

"Who told us to be Dao Companions?"

Gu Fan said with a smile.

Of course, her liking for Zhou Er was not without reason.

Not only was Zhou Er young and handsome, but her cultivation had also grown much faster since she began dual cultivating with him.

Especially recently, after Zhou Er returned, this feeling had become even stronger.

Of course, this was nothing to be surprised about.

Zhou Er's Yin-Yang Harmony attribute could harmonize the Yin-Yang Qi between them during dual cultivation. With balanced and stable Yin-Yang, the benefits to cultivation were naturally immense.

Moreover, the Dual Cultivation Technique they practiced was not like the techniques of the Devilish Cultivators from the Hehuan Sect; it was a proper, mutually beneficial Dual Cultivation Technique.

If Gu Fan encountered a Foundation Establishment stage Devilish Cultivator from the Hehuan Sect, she would be drained dry in less than a month.

Zhou Er would naturally never do such a thing.

Gu Fan could dual cultivate with a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, which naturally brought many benefits.

This feeling of progressing together with a loved one was like a drug, deeply attracting Gu Fan.

Because of this, she was deeply infatuated with Zhou Er.

However, being infatuated with one's Dao Companion was not a bad thing.

Once they made their decision, the two of them went to Bashui Immortal City and returned to the Gu Family Mansion.

Gu Fan first informed the Patriarch, Gu Xingjian, of her desire to visit the family treasury to view treasures. Gu Xingjian immediately arranged for someone to escort them to the treasury.

The family treasury was located in a Hidden Place in the back mountains, guarded by several Foundation Establishment stage cultivators from the family who rotated guard duty.

The Foundation Establishment elder on duty this time was Fifth Elder, a middle-aged man with slightly white temples.

Fifth Elder saw Gu Fan and said with a smile:

"Fan'er, this is your Dao Companion. He truly has a talented appearance."

"Fifth Grandfather!"

Gu Fan saw that the Foundation Establishment elder before her was very familiar and responded with a smile.

"Fifth Grandfather!"

Zhou Er, imitating Gu Fan, greeted the elder who was staying behind.

After a brief chat, Fifth Elder said:

"Alright! You two go in and pick carefully!"

Afterward, Fifth Elder let them pass.

Gu Fan and Zhou Er, led by a clan member familiar with the items in the treasury, entered the Family Treasury.

They quickly scanned the ordinary magic tools, not lingering.

Soon, they arrived before the top-tier magic tools.

There were dozens, even hundreds, of top-tier magic tools in the treasury, showcasing a profound heritage.

Among them, there were over ten water-attribute magic tools.

Zhou Er's eyes immediately fell on a porcelain jar.

The porcelain jar was entirely crystal white, like warm jade. The jar body was carved with water patterns and spirit patterns. The jar mouth was slightly closed, and the jar belly was round. It was about half a foot tall and could be slightly enlarged or shrunk. The bottom of the jar was engraved with a miniature water gathering array, with a faint water light flowing within.

[Lingyuan Jar: A jar that can store all the spirit water in the world, with a maximum storage capacity of one hundred cubic meters of spirit water.]

[Equipped Attributes: Water Affinity (Green)]

[Water Affinity (Green): Easier to absorb water attribute spirit energy. When cultivating water attribute techniques, efficiency increases by fifty percent.]

[Solidification Condition: Stay in a place with abundant water attribute spirit energy for ten thousand hours.]

[Equip?]

This jar was perfect for him to store the heavy water.

"Can I take a look at this?"

Zhou Er looked at the Gu Family clan member who was guiding and introducing them.

The Gu family member quickly recalled the information related to this Lingyuan Jar, then showed a troubled expression and said:

"Son-in-law, this jar is called the Lingyuan Jar. It can gather spiritual energy from between heaven and earth to generate water. The water is clear and cold, containing spiritual charm, it doesn't rot or smell, and can store a massive amount of spirit water for use as needed. Not only that, but it also has a weak Life Protection Array inside, which maintains a constant temperature for nourishing spirits, allowing one to raise spirit fish within it. But the problem lies here: the owner of this Lingyuan Jar was very fond of raising spirit fish in it, and raised a group of Man-eating Spirit Fish inside."

"These Man-eating Spirit Fish are all born with sharp teeth and sharp mouths. A casual bite can inflict deep wounds on a person. After the previous owner of the Lingyuan Jar died, this group of spirit fish began to kill each other, eventually giving birth to a second-tier Man-eating Spirit Fish. This second-tier spirit fish developed a weak Spiritual Sense and became connected to the Lingyuan Jar. To refine this jar, one must fight the spirit fish with their Spiritual Sense."

"These spirit fish are inherently ferocious. Although it's just a beast, it has caused trouble to the point where even a Foundation Establishment Expert finds it difficult to deal with. Because of this situation, the Lingyuan Jar has remained in the treasure vault for decades without anyone taking it."

After listening to the person's words, Zhou Er fell into contemplation.

This Lingyuan Jar can store one hundred cubic meters of heavy water, which is very effective.

With one hundred cubic meters of heavy water at his side, Zhou Er's strength would be greatly increased, whether for defense or offense.

Moreover, the attributes of the Lingyuan Jar are also very good, and can greatly accelerate his current cultivation speed.

It's just that the ferocious fish inside the jar are a bit annoying.

'However, this problem doesn't seem to be unsolvable. I haven't put any living things into my equipment slots yet. If I put the Lingyuan Jar into the equipment slot, the soul of the ferocious fish inside might be erased, and the problem will be self-solving.'

With this thought, Zhou Er made his decision.

"Brother Er, let's go look at something else!"

Gu Fan said, having heard that there was a spirit fish inside that even a Foundation Establishment Expert couldn't deal with.

"Alright, let's go look at other things first."

Zhou Er nodded. Although he had already chosen this one, he could also see if there were any other good items.
