Qin Tiexin's complexion suddenly changed.
The vortex was extremely small, only the size of a grain of rice, but its rotation speed was much faster than the other nine cyclones. As soon as it appeared, it began to wildly devour the free Spiritual Qi in Dantian. Nearly 30% of the viscous spiritual power that should have been compressed into spiritual liquid was directly swept away by it.
The vortex expanded rapidly while swallowing Spiritual Qi, growing from a light spot the size of a rice grain into a complete, independent cyclone within a few breaths.
The tenth cyclone.
Qin Tiexin's mind suddenly went blank for a moment.
Qi Refinement Realm has only nine levels, which is an iron law that remains unchanged in the world of cultivation for thousands of years. From Qi Refining First Layer to the ninth level, Dantian condenses nine cyclones, and then Spiritual Qi liquefies Foundation Establishment.
All the Cultivation Method books are written like this, and none of them mention the existence of the tenth cyclone.
But the scene in the Dantian at this moment did not allow him to think too much. The tenth cyclone was extremely greedy. It not only extracted spiritual energy from the array of spiritual stones around him, but also began to devour the free spiritual energy in the Dantian. It was not enough to extract the spiritual energy of a thousand low-grade spiritual stones. It also absorbed the spiritual energy of the five colors and five elements at the same time. The spiritual energy of the five attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth was stirred into a turbid vortex in the tenth cyclone.
No, if it continues to be absorbed like this, Five Elements Spirit Stone may not be enough for the subsequent Foundation Establishment.
What's worse is that because Foundation Establishment Pill has been taken, the first drop of spiritual liquid has been produced. The drop of spiritual liquid is suspended above the wreckage of the nine fragmented cyclones. It is only the size of a sesame seed, is milky white, and exudes a very faint fluorescence.
It is the core of the liquid true essence, and all subsequent cyclone liquefaction must use it as the anchor point. But at this moment, the tenth cyclone is still expanding crazily, and its suction has begun to affect the hard-won drop of spiritual liquid. There are very fine ripples on the surface of the spiritual liquid, and it may be sucked in by the tenth cyclone and swallowed at any time.
If this drop of spiritual liquid is swallowed, or if the spiritual liquid fails to condense successfully and is redistributed as free Spiritual Qi, then Foundation Establishment will be in vain. You need to re-condensate nine cyclones and try Foundation Establishment again. Not only is it a waste of time, it will also have a great impact on the subsequent combat effectiveness.
Many monks with poor qualifications just keep failing at this step and are still unable to achieve Foundation Establishment.
Qin Tiexin didn't panic.
He knew from his time as a soldier that when things take unexpected turns, panic is the most useless thing. The first thing to do is to stop losses in time and avoid the biggest accident at the minimum cost.
His left hand quickly reached for the storage ring, and took out five thousand pieces of Lower-Grade Spirit Stone, which he piled around him. The Spirit Stone on the floor of the stone room was almost spread to the corner of the wall, and the aura was so rich that it illuminated the entire stone room milky white. The Spiritual Qi in the Spirit Stone turned into a mist visible to the naked eye and rushed towards Qin Tiexin.
With the withdrawal of five thousand Spirit Stone, the absorption of spiritual power finally stabilized, and the Tenth Cyclone finally stopped absorbing Spiritual Qi from Five Elements Spirit Stone.
He calmed down and quickly made a judgment. No matter what the tenth cyclone was, no matter where it came from, or whether it was reasonable or not, it existed and was part of Dantian.
Foundation Establishment Proceed as usual, complete the liquefaction first, don't get stuck here.
He grabbed three Foundation Establishment Pill in his left hand, bit them into pieces, and swallowed them.
The medicinal power of the three Foundation Establishment Pill exploded in his stomach at the same time, turning into three scalding torrents, rushing straight to Dantian along the meridians. At the same time, he ran "Primordial Unity Instruction" to the maximum, inhaling all the five-color Spiritual Qi produced by the Five Elements Spirit Stone cycle into his body.
Six thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stone's Spiritual Qi are used to fill the tenth cyclone, and Spiritual Qi of Five Elements Spirit Stone are used to activate Foundation Establishment. The entire stone chamber forms a chaotic yet stable balance.
The concentration of spiritual energy in Dantian soared again, and the remains of the nine fragmented cyclones began to liquefy at an accelerated pace under the push of three Foundation Establishment Pills. The first drop of spiritual liquid stabilized, followed closely by the second and third drops, and the spiritual liquid merged into a small shallow pool of five colors in Dantian.
But Cyclone Ten is still expanding.
It is not just devouring Spiritual Qi, it is using the devoured Spiritual Qi to improve its own structure. Its shape is becoming more and more regular, and its color is getting brighter and brighter. It has changed from the initial turbid vortex to a complete cyclone with a milky white body and a faint golden light on the edge.
Its size has exceeded that of any other cyclone. It rotates slowly in the center of Dantian, and its suction force increases instead of decreasing. 30% of Foundation Establishment Pill's medicinal power is intercepted by it, and the condensation speed of the spiritual liquid is slowed down by at least 30%.
Qin Tiexin gritted his teeth, grabbed another handful of Foundation Establishment Pill and stuffed it into his mouth. His left hand then grabbed a bunch of Spirit Stone around him, broke a few pieces of Lower-Grade Spirit Stone into pieces, and directly inhaled the exploded Spiritual Qi into his body. If five thousand Spirit Stone is not enough, then eight thousand, if not, ten thousand.
In Dantian, the liquid essence and the tenth cyclone form a strange balance.
The spiritual liquid accumulates more and more at the bottom of Dantian. The nine fragmented cyclones are converted into liquid one by one under the catalysis of the spiritual liquid. When each cyclone is completely liquefied, it will emit a very subtle buzzing sound.
The tenth cyclone is suspended above the spiritual fluid, like an independent sun, rotating on its own, neither merging with other cyclones nor interfering with the condensation of the spiritual fluid.
The meridians all over his body were aching from the excessive Spiritual Qi, but he could feel that the total Dantian capacity began to rise at this moment. The existence of the tenth cyclone made his Dantian capacity nearly 30% more than before.
Although the increase in the capacity of Dantian is a good thing, the two parties have no intention of stopping, and the tug-of-war between the ectoplasm and the tenth cyclone continues.
The tenth cyclone hangs above the spiritual liquid, spinning on its own, swallowing the Spiritual Qi that pours in from the six thousand pieces of Lower-Grade Spirit Stone.
Its volume has expanded to exceed the sum of the other nine cyclones. It is like a white-gold sun hanging in the center of Dantian. Every rotation causes the walls of Dantian to tremble slightly.
The spiritual liquid slowly increases at the bottom of Dantian. The five-color Spiritual Qi of Five Elements Spirit Stone is fully stimulated by the Primordial Unity Instruction of Qin Tiexin, and is continuously transformed into liquid true essence along the cycle of the five elements, and is collected into the spiritual liquid pool drop by drop.
The speed is not fast but stable. Every time a five-element cycle is completed, three to five drops of new spiritual liquid are produced.
Qin Tiexin swallows a Foundation Establishment Pill every once in a while. The power of each Foundation Establishment Pill is like adding a handful of firewood to the fire, pushing the transformation of the spiritual liquid forward. But the tenth cyclone will also appear in The moment the Foundation Establishment Pill drug burst out, it took the opportunity to expand, cutting off nearly 30% of the Spiritual Qi in the drug. He calculated in his mind that the thrust that one Foundation Establishment Pill was supposed to produce was actually less than 70%, and the rest was eaten up by the tenth cyclone.
You can't argue with it. Since it needs spiritual power, just give it to him. They are all things within your Dantian.
Qin Tiexin swallowed the ninth Foundation Establishment Pill, diverting the spiritual power in the medicine to the tenth cyclone, and at the same time locked Five Phases Spiritual Qi to the transformation of the spiritual fluid.
If the tenth cyclone wants to be sucked, let it suck it. It sucks the potency of ordinary Spirit Stone and Foundation Establishment Pill. He has to keep the Spiritual Qi of Five Elements Spirit Stone to urge Spiritual Qi to liquefy.
As long as these two forces make no mistakes, Foundation Establishment can continue to push forward.
