Family Heavenly Spirit Root [Fourth Update]

After completing the formation, the Old Clan Leader excitedly asked, "Can this formation truly save the lives of clansmen who fail to break through to the Foundation Establishment?"

"According to the calculations, there shouldn't be any problems." Chen Nianzhi pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's give it a try first."

With this Array Instrument in hand, Chen Nianzhi teleported back to Yu Commandery, and then flew to Qingyuan Mountain on her sword.

Setting up this formation requires Tier 4 Spirit Vein, so he decided to set it up on Qingyuan Mountain.

In fact, the Chen Clan has several Spirit Vein that can be used to set up this formation, but Heavenly Ruins Lake and Earth Lion Ridge are too close to the Demon Race. This formation is extremely valuable, and it would probably not be worthwhile to place it on the front line.

Spirit Isle Lake is where Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong cultivate in seclusion. Naturally, they don't want to be affected by cultivators breaking through frequently. There are too many mortals in Peaceful Sun City, and if there are Foundation Establishment breakthroughs every day, it will also affect the mortals.

Qingyuan Mountain is the cultivation ground with the most cultivators in the Lineage, and the scarcity of mortals there makes it more suitable for setting up this formation.

Getting back to the main point, Chen Nianzhi personally took seven days to complete the setup of this formation.

After setting up the formation, he personally activated it, sat cross-legged on the formation plate, closed his eyes to sense it, and continuously calculated the effect of the formation.

After a long while, he emerged from the formation, and the Old Clan Leader couldn't help but step forward and ask, "How was it?"

"With this protective array, the physical strength and even the resilience of the tendons and veins of low-level cultivators should increase by a full 50%."

Chen Nianzhi spoke as he cleared the formation.

After he finished correcting the error, the Old Clan Leader led ten Lineage cultivators forward.

Looking at the ten cultivators before him, Chen Nianzhi's eyes flickered. He looked at the two beautiful young women among them and said, "Nianxuan, Siyan, what brings you here too?"

"Greetings, Ancestor."

Chen Nianxuan and Chen Siyan quickly bowed and said sweetly.

Chen Siyan is a cultivator with the Thunder Spirit Root and a rising star in her Lineage. She is a direct descendant of Chen Nianfu and can be considered Golden Core realm seed, so her future potential is not small.

Chen Nianxuan is the daughter of Chen Qinghao and Chen Qingwan. Although high-level cultivators are more likely to give birth to offspring with exceptional talent.

However, it must be admitted that Chen Qinghao and his wife's children are indeed far more gifted than ordinary people.

Their eldest son had Wind Spirit Root, but unfortunately he perished after failing to Foundation Establishment. Chen Nianxuan is far superior.

Chen Nianxuan is a cultivator with Heavenly Spirit Root, and she is an unparalleled genius with Fire Spirit Root. With such talent, she has a very high chance of forging High-grade Golden Core and breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage in the future.

Chen Nianxuan, only sixteen years old, had already reached the Qi Refinement Great Perfection. With a touch of childishness, she said, "I Self-Foundation Establishment."

Seeing her say that, Chen Nianzhi said seriously, "This is the first time I've used this formation, so there may be imperfections. You should think it over carefully."

"I understand."

Chen Nianxuan nodded and said firmly.

Seeing that he agreed, Chen Nianzhi could only say, "You may begin."

Once the group entered the formation, Chen Nianzhi activated the Spirit-Gathering Dao-Protecting Formation, and then quietly observed the progress of their Foundation Establishment.

This breakthrough didn't take long; just over two months later, they emerged from their Seclusion Chamber one after another.

Of these ten people, three broke through to the next level: Chen Nianxuan and Chen Siyan, and a young man of the "Zu" generation named Chen Zugan.

This was within Chen Nianzhi's expectations. With Heavenly Spirit Root like Chen Nianxuan, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment would be virtually unimpeded, and the chance of failure was less than 10%.

Chen Siyan, with her Thunder Spirit Root, has a greater than 50% chance of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment, so her success is to be expected.

Chen Zugan had a one in ten chance of success, but he was one of the few with Four Element Spiritual Root capable of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment, and his success on his own showed that he also had Bu Fan willpower.

However, for Chen Nianzhi, these three who successfully broke through were not his main targets of observation.

He nodded, took out a few trinkets and handed them to the three of them, smiling encouragingly, "You're not bad, take these and cultivate diligently."

"Thank you, Ancestor."

All three showed joy, especially Chen Zugan, who was a cultivator with Four Element Spiritual Root. Compared to the other two women who had Golden Core realm and Purple Mansion as their backers, he was much poorer.

The little gadgets Chen Nianzhi casually picked up were worth ten years of his salary, enough to make his future cultivation much smoother.

After the three left, Chen Nianzhi looked at the seven people who had failed to break through.

As he expected, although the seven people failed to break through, they still managed to save their lives.

However, when Chen Nianzhi probed into their bodies with her divine sense, she frowned deeply after a long while.

The Old Clan Leader walked over, examined the body, and shook his head, saying, "Although he survived, his internal meridians are almost completely severed."

"This injury is too severe; his future cultivation Dao Path will likely be completely cut off."

"It seems this method still has significant flaws."

Chen Nianzhi shook her head and took out several Tier 3 Healing Pill to treat their injuries.

However, the energy of a third-tier elixir is too great, and even Foundation Establishment cultivators must be extremely cautious when consuming it.

Back then, Chen Nianzhi only dared to take the third-grade low-level Dark Jade Pill when her Law Power was sufficient to reach the ninth level of Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer. Let alone these Qi Refining Cultivator who were seriously injured.

Left with no other choice, Chen Nianzhi could only use her Law Power to dissolve the wounds and gradually transfer them into the bodies of the individuals, slowly repairing their injuries.

After a long while, their injuries had healed considerably, and Chen Nianzhi sighed, saying, "Too many meridians were broken. Even with third-tier spiritual pills, it will take ten years of recuperation to fully recover."

The Old Clan Leader shook his head and said helplessly, "Although it is true that Golden Core realm cultivators can use pills to heal them and prolong their Dao Path, it is far too troublesome."

"Moreover, third-tier pills are worth a fortune, making the cost of continuing one's Dao Path too high, and thus difficult to widely implement."

Chen Nianzhi nodded, finally understanding why, for countless years, no one had been able to completely solve the huge drawback of failing to Self-Foundation Establishment and perishing.

Low-level cultivators lack both physical Law Power, and many high-level techniques are too forceful.

A single low-grade third-tier pill possesses energy nearly a hundred times that of a low-level cultivator's total energy; even if you were given it to heal your injuries, you would be utterly unable to benefit from it.

While high-level Body Refining Cultivation Method and body-tempering elixirs are exceptionally effective, their high grade makes them unusable for lower-level cultivators.

A single Tier 2- tier pill is enough to completely overwhelm Qi Refining Cultivator, not to mention other extraordinary methods.

Upon realizing this, Chen Nianzhi pondered for a moment before saying, "The path of formations has almost reached its limit."

"Perhaps we can use other methods to increase the strength of a cultivator's meridians."

The Old Clan Leader's eyes flickered slightly. "You mean..."

Chen Nianzhi nodded, and after a long pause, she received the reply, "Qi Refining Cultivator have limited physical endurance; they can only consume Tier 2 Low-grade pills at most."

"Currently, the most widely circulated Tier 2 Low-grade Meridian-Tempering Pill in the Chu Kingdom can enhance the strength of the meridians by about 30%."

"I'll try again and see if I can extrapolate it further."
