Methods and Dao Foundation Preparations
With divine sense and spiritual awareness, one can perceive subtle details in the external world.
The Yin-Yang Fire True Qi circulates, and the Qi Seed becomes increasingly full. Five types of legal runes intertwine on its surface, evolving little by little even if he does not actively comprehend and condense them.
"The sixth rune of the law is within reach, no need to worry. The key lies in the subsequent accumulation of Yin and Yang imagery."
Wang He has read the publicly available knowledge on Qi Refining and Dao Foundation building from the Human Federation and has become familiar with the increasingly sophisticated methods for Dao Foundation.
When the system was established, the Dao Foundation was broken through. Most cultivators, even after a hundred or eighty years of arduous cultivation, remained at the middle or lower level. Few could achieve High-Grade Dao Foundation or forge the potential of the Purple Mansion.
Over the generations of cultivators have continuously refined the techniques, resulting in numerous methods that have accumulated foundations and increased the probability and grade of breakthroughs.
Of course, these methods are not obtained at will; they must either be exchanged for one's own contributions or in exchange for unique secret techniques.
Such things were not particularly unusual to Wang He. He uploaded a method for alchemy called [The Token of the Unity of Fire Timing Yin and Yang, Internal and External Furnace Fire Control], and a breeding method for cultivating spiritual plants and regulating vital energy, called [The Yin and Yang Interchange and Collective Nourishment Method].
These two techniques represent his current highest level in alchemy and spiritual plant cultivation. While they may not reach the Dao Foundation, they are sufficient for the Qi Refining stage.
However, only those who possess the same True Qi can truly grasp his theory; others, unless they have spiritual objects or magical artifacts with both Yin and Yang properties, can only use it as a reference.
Just as in the "Token of the Unity of Fire Timing," the human body is regarded as a small furnace, the external world as a large furnace, and the alchemical furnace as an external furnace. The three are isomorphic and connected by Yin and Yang.
It allows for constant monitoring of the internal heat and precise control of the medicinal properties, greatly reducing the failure rate of alchemy while improving the quality of the alchemy.
The "Interchange and Collective Nourishment Method" uses the True Qi of Yin and Yang to communicate internal vitality and connect with the external world, allowing the spiritual seed to continuously absorb nourishment through the changes of Yin and Yang.
The sprouts, nurtured in this way, will grow extremely fast, develop strong roots, and have greatly enhanced resistance to various diseases, filling a gap in the field that predecessors had never explored.
These two methods were uploaded to the Human Federation's contribution database and quickly underwent review, law deduction, and confirmation of correctness by a higher intelligent agent. A substantial amount of contribution points was then deposited into his personal identity terminal.
Thus, Wang He began to choose theoretical methods that suited his own conditions.
There are five main categories of ways to help break through the Dao Foundation and improve Dao Foundation quality.
The advantages of timing, location, and human factors are self-evident. The other two are the natal spiritual plants and the natal spiritual treasure methods.
A detailed reading of these five paths reveals that they all essentially pursue three dimensions: perfect imagery, flourishing Qi Destiny, and harmonious nature.
To achieve a complete and perfect imagery, it is natural to encompass as many Dao Foundation images as possible.
For example, the Heavenly Fire Yang Fire Dao Foundation, according to his observation, now has celestial phenomena such as the sun shining brightly at noon, the crimson sun at midday, the flowing red glow of rosy clouds, the golden crow soaring in the sky, and the heavenly gate shining brightly.
There are also descriptions related to phenology, such as the scorching heat of midsummer, the melting of metals and stones, the scorching of vegetation, the steaming of the earth, and the exposure of all things to the sun.
Of course, the perfect imagery is almost an ideal state, and it would take an unknown amount of time for Qi Refining cultivator to fully grasp it.
Therefore, various methods were developed to add imagery and symbolism to aid in achieving enlightenment.
Whether it's perfecting a certain technique, altering one's temperament, consuming elixirs with corresponding imagery when nearing a breakthrough, creating celestial phenomena and terrain, or performing Human Dao rituals, these methods are incredibly diverse.
When Qi Destiny is at its peak, one naturally needs to accumulate the assistance of the external world to break through.
Those with abundant Qi Destiny have a smooth path to enlightenment and the ability to achieve their goals. Even if there are some imperceptible flaws during a breakthrough, they can be miraculously corrected. This is an area that almost all Qi Refining cultivators with the necessary conditions will venture into.
However, it wasn't of much use to Wang He.
What cultivator could be more blessed than him, a cultivator who possesses the Yin and Yang Fire Golden Nature, and Qi Destiny spirit projection Golden Core True Lord is more prosperous?
The final harmony of nature is not only about the True Qi and Mystic Qi aligning with the imagery, but also about transcending the limitations of location to align with the Dao Foundation and the harmony of spiritual atmosphere.
Otherwise, even the slightest change or conflict could lead to numerous unforeseen events.
As for the demonic trials that every cultivator who breaks through to the Dao Foundation must face, there are not many targeted methods available to cultivators nowadays.
Besides preparing more elixirs to calm the mind Bright God, one must also hone one's character. Otherwise, no matter how much preparation one has made for the Dao Foundation, it will all be in vain if one fails the demonic test.
After reading the introductions to the five types of methods, Wang He finally exchanged for three methods of image accumulation: [Spell Imagery Development], [Pill Spirit Image Creation], and [Artifact Forms Corresponding to Heaven].
These three methods correspond to magic, elixirs, and artifacts. They are not methods that correspond to specific images, but rather a theoretical framework.
After all, everyone's situation is different, and no one can perfectly replicate the vision of their predecessors.
These are enough for him to add some imagery that is difficult to grasp quickly, starting from these three perspectives.
Three more days passed before Wang He finally emerged from the pass.
The final Lesser Yin Dharma Principle rune was also rapidly condensing; his advancement speed far surpassed others precisely in the process of Dharma Principle condensation.
Stepping out of the cave, his divine sense and spiritual awareness traversed the Formation Domain, covering the entire Cool Peak.
There, Lu Lingxian was leading four Qi Refining Realm plant masters to observe the growth of the Supreme Yang plant.
"You've all read the previous materials on cultivating spirit plants, and you've observed their growing environments extensively. The mid-grade spirit fields that the company rented will also be cleared by tomorrow."
"Our plant department is about to begin on-site planting. If you have any questions, please ask as soon as possible to avoid major problems during practice and unnecessary losses for the company..."
At this moment, Lu Lingxian sensed a spiritual fluctuation coming from the mountaintop, observing them. She knew that it must be Wang He emerging from seclusion.
Therefore, he instructed his subordinates to continue observing and accumulating practical experience before flying into the mountaintop.
Wang He watched as Lu Lingxian gracefully descended, her demeanor shifting from the naivety of a college student to the authority of a manager.
"Senior Brother Wang, you've emerged from seclusion? Have you broken through another level?"
Lu Linxian exclaimed in surprise; Wang He hadn't concealed his breakthrough aura at all, and she quickly realized it.
Ignoring his exclamation, Wang He instead inquired about the company's situation over the past few days.
"How's the company's spiritual plant business going these past few days? I see they've already recruited a few spiritual plant masters."
Lu Lingxian, having adjusted her mindset, gave an impartial report.
"Those low- to mid-grade spiritual plants from previous seasons, the spiritual plant masters and I quickly planted them. With the occasional use of spiritual plant spells, we should be able to start large-scale production in another month or two."
"That's right. Of your two types of Supreme Yang Supreme Yin spiritual plants, the [Rising Yang Bright Qi Stirring Spirit Flower] is a bit better. Although it requires the use of a blazing sun formation, yang soil, and Supreme Yang spiritual rain, he said it needs to be properly prepared. But at least there's hope for its completion."
"[This Supreme Yin Tranquil Mind Laurel] is truly incomprehensible."
