Foundation Establishment
Cave abode No. 3, Class A.
Fang Yu used the token to open the cave abode and entered. He immediately sensed the extremely dense second-tier Spiritual Qi.
He took a deep breath and immediately felt refreshed.
"This second-tier Spiritual Qi is indeed powerful!"
Fang Yu murmured something as he examined the cave abode.
This cave abode must have been frequently rented out to cultivators for Foundation Establishment. The furnishings inside are very simple, consisting of only minimalist furniture such as tables and chairs.
In addition, the cave abode was equipped with a set of restrictions to conceal its presence and provide warnings.
Fang Yu's Divine Thought fluctuated, his Law Power flowed, and he began to rearrange the restrictions within the cave abode.
Although Mosquito Immortal City is a holy land for Rogue Cultivator, it cannot be completely trusted. It is more appropriate to set up the restrictions yourself.
After working for several hours and confirming that there were no problems, Fang Yu went to the quiet room and sat down cross-legged.
He closed his eyes and circulated the ' Nine Revolutions of the Flame Dragon ' to adjust his condition, slowly bringing it to its peak.
Suddenly, a porcelain bottle flew out of his Storage Bag, the mouth of the bottle opened automatically, and a Foundation Establishment Pill flew into his mouth.
The next moment, the Spiritual Qi within the cave abode converged towards him, becoming denser and forming a vortex of Spiritual Qi around him before pouring into his body.
Intense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and earth surged through his veins, constantly expanding his meridians and cleansing his body.
This is the first hurdle in Foundation Establishment: the Qi and Blood Pass.
By forcibly enhancing the cultivator's physical body with a large amount of Spiritual Qi, making it stronger, with more abundant Qi and Blood, and more resilient meridians, it can accommodate more Spiritual Qi.
For most cultivators, this first hurdle is extremely difficult, especially after the age of sixty, when their Qi and Blood decline rapidly, making it impossible for their physical bodies to withstand the baptism of this violent Spiritual Qi.
However, this was extremely simple for Fang Yu. He not only Dao of Qi Refining, but also the Dao of Qi Ingestion, and even the ' Molten Edge Flow ', a foundational Dao Foundation.
His physical body had long been forged into an extremely tough form through the daily and yearly refinement of the Metal Fire Stone, making him equivalent to a body-refining cultivator in the Dao of Qi Refining.
Moreover, the Dao of Qi Ingestion involves the simultaneous cultivation of essence, qi, and spirit; as one's cultivation level increases, one's physical body will also improve accordingly.
His meridians expanded continuously under the influence of Spiritual Qi, allowing more Spiritual Qi to enter his body. After reaching a certain point, they surged towards his Qi Sea Dantian.
The second stage of Foundation Establishment, the Law Power Pass, begins.
The Law Power mixed with Spiritual Qi within his Dantian circulated through his expanded meridians, transforming into even more Law Power. This Law Power then converged back into Dantian Dantian, causing it to accumulate and eventually burst Dantian, expanding outwards.
At this moment, the medicinal power of the Foundation Establishment Pill took effect, continuously repairing the damaged Dantian, allowing it to hold more Law Power, and after reaching a certain concentration, it began to atomize.
'Hmm! The effects of the Foundation Establishment Pill are almost worn off!'
With a thought, Fang Yu swallowed another Foundation Establishment Pill, making the medicinal power that was about to disappear become concentrated again. It not only brought a large amount of Law Power, but also repaired the damaged Dantian much faster.
At this moment, the misty magical Law Power grew denser, Fang Yu's sea of consciousness trembled violently as a Divine Sense was born.
This Divine Sense was different from his Divine Thought in the Dao of Qi Ingestion. It was extremely weak at the beginning and could not harmonize the misty magic Law Power to further condense it into liquid magic Law Power.
The third stage of Foundation Establishment – the Divine Sense Pass.
'This newly formed Divine Sense is far too weak. Most cultivators who aspire to Foundation Establishment fail at this stage. After all, quickly mastering a newly formed Divine Sense and harmonizing and condensing it with Law Power within a limited time is an extremely difficult task.'
Fortunately Fang Yu had already mastered Divine Thought. Although it was slightly different from Divine Sense, there was not much difference in essence. In just a moment, he mastered Divine Sense.
With the fluctuation of Divine Sense, the misty Law Power slowly transformed into a drop of liquid Law Power.
'It's done!'
Once the first drop of liquid Law Power took shape, Fang Yu clearly sensed a significant difference in himself compared to before; he had successfully advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
However, he did not stop, but continued to frantically absorb Spiritual Qi, compressing it into liquid Law Power.
One drop, two drops, three drops...
Soon, thirteen drops of liquid Law Power gathered in his Dantian, while the atomized Law Power in his Dantian had been completely exhausted.
'Again!'
With Fang Yu sent out the third Foundation Establishment Pill, which landed in his mouth and transformed into pure Law Power, allowing the Foundation Establishment process, which was about to end, to continue.
Fourteen drops, fifteen drops...
After a few more drops of liquid Law Power condensed, the medicinal power of the Foundation Establishment Pill was completely exhausted.
' Yuanchen Pearl!'
Just then, the Yuanchen Pearl began to spin rapidly.
The pure ' Primordial Qi ' stored inside was injected into his Dantian, continuing the medicinal power of the Foundation Establishment Pill and further condensing liquid Law Power.
Twenty-one drops... thirty-three drops... fifty-six drops... seventy-three drops...
When the last trace of ' Primordial Qi ' stored within the Yuanchen Pearl was completely exhausted, Fang Yu's Foundation Establishment process came to an end.
Fang Yu opened his eyes, and two flames flashed and disappeared within them.
He took a deep breath, sensing his current cultivation level of ' Foundation Establishment Late Stage ', and a look of wild joy appeared on his face.
After Foundation Establishment, every ten points of condensed liquid Law Power equals advancing one level. He has now directly condensed seventy-three drops of liquid Law Power, which is equivalent to reaching the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer.
Although he doesn't yet possess the corresponding Foundation Establishment Cultivation Method, judging solely from the upper limit of his Law Power, he is undoubtedly Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator.
' Primordial Qi is really awesome!'
Fang Yu couldn't help but sigh.
Under normal circumstances, even if he swallowed the third Foundation Establishment Pill, he would only be able to condense fifteen drops of liquid Law Power, barely reaching the Foundation Establishment Second Layer cultivation.
However, with the replenishment of Primordial Qi, he directly broke through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
Just then, a thought struck him.
"Hmm! Only a hundred days have passed!"
He had rented this cave abode for three years, and there was still a long time left. He could use this time to familiarize himself with the Foundation Establishment and replenish his depleted Primordial Qi.
His Primordial Qi is extremely important. It not only prevents calculations but also nourishes magical Law Artifact, and so on. If he didn't have Primordial Qi, he would never have tried to Dao of Qi Ingestion, lest he be tricked without even realizing it.
The next moment, the Yuanchen Pearl began to rotate, and the liquid Law Power in his body surged into it, transforming into pure Primordial Qi.
"The Law Power from this Dao of Qi Refining is still somewhat weak; after purification, it's less than half of what it used to be."
Fang Yu's Divine Sense then began to move, absorbing the Spiritual Qi in the cave abode into his body, refining it into Law Power, and replenishing the Law Power in his Dantian.
The Law Power in his Dantian was quickly replenished after being depleted, and it was fully replenished in just a few days, as was the Yuanchen Pearl.
However, this only restores Law Power. To increase the upper limit of Law Power, one still needs to cultivate diligently in the future. After all, this is the only opportunity to increase the upper limit during the Foundation Establishment process.
Subsequently, Fang Yu began experimenting with the differences between the Divine Sense of the Dao of Qi Refining and the Divine Thought of the Dao of Qi Ingestion. After several days, he understood it.
The Divine Thought of the Dao of Dao of Qi Ingestion is connected to one's five senses, and it is naturally activated anytime and anywhere without any consumption.
However, Divine Sense needs to be actively activated and scanned in order to perceive the surrounding situation, and the direction and distance of the scan can be adjusted as needed.
In summary, Divine Sense is like an active radar, while Divine Thought is like a passive radar.
Having understood the difference between Divine Thought and Divine Sense, Fang Yu then sensed his own lifespan. After a moment, he laughed.
His lifespan increased by another hundred years.
When he broke through to the Dao Foundation, his lifespan increased by one hundred years. Now that he has broken through to the Foundation Establishment, it has increased by another one hundred years. In other words, he can now live to be over three hundred years old.
Keep in mind that the lifespan of Golden Core cultivator is only 500 years, and he can already live to be 300 years old, which is equivalent to being half Golden Core.
"Not bad, not bad. I can now be considered an immortal. As long as I continue to live a long and healthy life, and improve my cultivation, my lifespan will only increase, and I can truly achieve immortality."
