Raising Spirit Stones

The Old Clan Leader shook his head. The most critical problem with Self-Foundation Establishment is that the cultivator's meridians cannot withstand the backlash from condensing qi into liquid.

If the cultivation of True Essence fails, the True Essence will explode, causing the meridians in the body to shatter and the cultivator to die.

To solve this problem, the ancient sages created the Foundation Foundation-Building Pill Foundation-Building Pill, which has two effects.

Firstly, it temporarily doubles the strength and resilience of the meridians, which can significantly reduce the possibility of damage to a cultivator's meridians.

Secondly, it makes the internal True Qi more gentle, which reduces the backlash after a failed breakthrough, but it also makes the True Essence less pure.

Among the ancient sages, more than one person wanted to separate the first one, but no one had been able to do so until now.

Because once separated, the increase in meridian resilience will only be 30%, and a mere 30% effect is not very useful for the backlash of Foundation Establishment.

While the Origin-Gathering Pill can increase the chances by 10%, this pill only makes a cultivator's True Qi more abundant. If the True Qi is insufficient, then it can indeed increase the probability.

However, if the breakthrough fails, the inevitable backlash and death will still occur.

Other medicines that assist in Foundation Establishment work on two principles: one is to increase the strength of the meridians, and the other is to gently regulate the True Qi.

However, it is extremely difficult for a cultivator to increase the strength of their meridians. Apart from the Foundation-Building Pill, even the most advanced auxiliary pills can only increase the strength of a cultivator's meridians by 30%.

Even with the tempering of the Hongmeng Purple Qi, a world-shaking divine object, the strength of the meridians can only be doubled.

"It would be almost impossible for pills made from ordinary treasures to reach this level."

Chen Nianzhi pondered for a while, and then said, "Perhaps we can find another way without using medicine?"

"What method?" The Old Clan Leader's eyes lit up slightly, and he couldn't help but ask, "Do you perhaps have an idea?"

"I don't know yet if it will be successful. I'll study it further in a few days and then decide."

Chen Nianzhi shook her head and said calmly.

After moving on from that topic, Chen Nianzhi took a sip of tea and then asked, "By the way, I heard that Uncle Qing Hao took the Golden-Core Formation Pill a while ago. How is it going?"

"They've entered the realm of the False Core realm."

The Old Clan Leader smiled and said that Chen Qinghao had used a Golden-Core Formation Pill to break through to the False Core realm realm, which was considered quite standard.

If you do the math, Chen Qinghao is still a few years away from turning three hundred. At this age, False Core realm cultivator still has a very high chance of breaking through to the Golden Core realm realm in the future.

Chen Changxuan took a sip of tea, then began to explain, "A few years ago, Non-Night True Lord refined several batches of Golden-Core Formation Pill, which probably resulted in a significant increase in Golden Core realm cultivators in the Ji Continent."

"Leaving aside other countries, the Purple Abyss Sect has gained a False Core realm, the Azuregreen Immortal Sect has gained a Golden Core True Person, and the Firmament Sword Sect has also gained a False Core realm."

"In addition, Su Mingwei used the Golden-Core Formation Pill for the third time three years ago, and as expected, she broke through to the Golden Core realm realm."

"Xu Ganyang, Pan Boyuan, and others also made attempts..."

As the Old Clan Leader recounted his story, Chen Nianzhi gained a certain understanding of the situation in various countries of the Ji Continent.

After this Beast Turmoil, the number of Golden Core realm cultivators in the Ji Continent Cultivation World began to increase. The Qi Kingdom received more than a dozen Golden-Core Formation Pill as compensation, and it is estimated that there will be six or seven more Golden Core realm cultivators in a hundred years.

Other countries are also expected to increase their numbers, with the changes in the Chu Kingdom being even greater. The newly added False Core realm cultivators are likely to receive support from their respective forces within the next century, giving them a good chance of breaking through to the Golden Core realm.

However, while some rise to prominence, others gradually fade into obscurity.

A few years ago, Pan Boyuan broke through to the Golden Core realm realm again. At the age of 380, he attempted to break through to the Golden Core realm realm without the help of external objects, but in the end, he did not even break through to the False Core realm realm.

After this failure, he needed sixty years to recover before he could break through again. It could be said that Pan Boyuan's Dao Path was completely ruined.

Even if one takes three third-tier Longevity Pill to increase their lifespan by nearly a hundred years, there is still almost no hope of breaking through to the Golden Core realm.

This made Chen Nianzhi sigh. Pan Boyuan was a cultivator with the Thunder Spirit Root, and his talent was actually not bad. Unfortunately, due to the great defeat caused by the Azure Sun Sect two hundred years ago, the Pan Immortal Clan completely declined.

Over the years, Pan Boyuan focused on supporting his Lineage, neglecting his own cultivation, and ultimately failed to obtain the opportunity to Core Formation Golden-Core Formation Pill fortuitous opportunity.

"This Pan Boyuan..."

Chen Nianzhi sighed and said, "There are still quite a few third-tier Spirit Apricot in the clan's treasury. Let's send one to him in a few years."

"Hmm." Clan Chief Chen nodded.

Besides Pan Boyuan, Xu Daoyuan, with the support of Xu Ganyang, took a Golden-Core Formation Pill and broke through to the False Core realm.

Xu Daoyuan broke through to the Purple Mansion at the age of 110. He was once a well-known genius in the Chu Kingdom. Now, several hundred years later, he has finally reached the threshold of the Golden Core realm realm.

This person is about the same age as the Old Clan Leader, and is currently no more than 350 years old. It seems that he also has a good chance of breaking through to the Golden Core realm.

Chen Nianzhi felt that whether this person could break through to the Golden Core realm depended on whether the Xu Clan could help him achieve another Golden-Core Formation Pill within a few decades.

After the two finished discussing the affairs of the Chu Kingdom, Chen Nianzhi said, "I plan to travel outside of the Ji Continent in a few days."

"This time we plan to exchange some Heavenly Crystal, which will require a significant allocation of the Lineage's resources."

"Origin Celestial Crystal?"

The Old Clan Leader's eyes flickered slightly; the Heavenly Crystal was a precious treasure traded with Nascent Soul True Lord.

Chen Nianzhi's decision to exchange for Heavenly Crystal at this time is likely for the purpose of purchasing Earth Mother Qi or Tier 5 treasures in the future.

With that thought in mind, the Old Clan Leader nodded and said, "I'll make the arrangements."

"Then I'm relieved."

Chen Nianzhi smiled slightly, and then returned to Spirit Isle Lake.

The Old Clan Leader began to mobilize the cultivators in the clan and start allocating various resources to prepare Spirit Stone.

The Lineage had accumulated a considerable amount of Spirit Stone over the years, and the Old Clan Leader immediately allocated eight million Spirit Stone.

The Spirit Stone in the inventory were only a small portion; the Old Clan Leader also allocated them to the cultivators in the clan, using the Lineage's contribution to buy the Spirit Stone from the cultivators.

The Chen Clan had tens of thousands of cultivators, some of whom contributed hundreds of Spirit Stone, while others contributed thousands or even tens of thousands of Spirit Stone. This alone resulted in a repurchase of ten million Spirit Stone.

Then, using the various Spirit Mountain of his Lineage as collateral, he borrowed money from one of the major immortal clans in the Chu Kingdom, raising millions of Spirit Stone in one go.

In addition to selling goods at a discount and using various methods to recover Spirit Stone, after three months of hard work, they raised more than 30 million Spirit Stone for Chen Nianzhi.

"This time, they've probably drained most of the Spirit Stone circulating in the Chu Kingdom."

In Spirit Isle Lake, Chen Nianzhi looked at the Spirit Stone of spirit stones piled up in his Storage Bag and couldn't help but sigh.

The amount of Spirit Stone requisitioned this time is far too large; it is estimated that the Spirit Stone reserves of the Chu Kingdom will be greatly reduced for some time to come.
