Chapter 138: Foundation Establishment Method

Li Lin shook it with all his might, but at that very moment, Hong Luan suddenly cried out, "The characters are becoming blurred."

Li Lin looked up and saw that the characters were indeed becoming blurred.

He looked at the rapidly spinning immortal artifact and saw that inside, the black and white spheres were changing; the black was slowly fading, manifesting as the gray gradually turning white during the rotation.

Li Lin shook it even harder.

But it only remained barely clear for a short while before fading again.

Seeing this situation, Li Lin knew the immortal artifact could not hold out much longer.

He shook his head with even greater force and urged, "Wife, record it faster."

Huang Qi did not reply, but simply moved her right hand faster.

Both were striving, and Hong Luan watched with growing tension.

About fifteen breaths later, the characters on the wall had become so blurred they were unreadable.

Li Lin sighed and stopped shaking.

He thought they had failed, but unexpectedly, Huang Qi was still writing.

Li Lin leaned in and saw that Huang Qi was writing very carefully.

Hong Luan was about to say something when Li Lin made a gesture for silence.

The two waited nearby for a long while until Huang Qi finally finished; she raised her head and let out a soft sigh.

"Did you record everything?" Li Lin asked.

Huang Qi said somewhat shyly, "I have the ability to remember everything I see at a glance."

"Impressive!" Li Lin said admiringly.

Then she spread out several sheets of paper and, after the ink had dried somewhat, handed them to Li Lin.

"Husband, please check if it is correct."

"It must be correct, after all, you remember everything at a glance."

Li Lin did not take the paper; instead, he grabbed Huang Qi and spun her around in place.

He was extremely excited; he had thought failure was inevitable, but unexpectedly, a new hope had appeared.

Huang Qi felt Li Lin's joy, and she herself was very happy.

She could help her husband.

After spinning several times, Li Lin finally set Huang Qi down, then picked up the sheets of paper and began reading; once he started, he became completely absorbed.

Huang Qi took Hong Luan and left, letting Li Lin stay alone in the study.

Li Lin did not know the two had already left; at that moment, he was completely immersed in the content of those sheets of paper.

About half an hour later, he finally lifted his head.

"Yang Ming Jing!"

So this was the Yang Ming Jing.

Another version of the Yang Xing Jing.

Only when the Yang Ming and Yang Xing versions are combined is it a true cultivation method.

【Cultivation +1】

【Cultivation +1】

Li Lin could not help but chuckle softly; the Yang Xing Jing was the content, and the Yang Ming Jing was the annotation.

Only by reading the content of both books would one truly understand what the Yang Xing Jing was talking about!

"Wife, Hong Luan..."

Li Lin looked up and then realized he was the only one left in the study.

He folded the sheets of paper neatly and tucked them inside a certain book.

Then he went to the backyard.

Huang Qi was embroidering, while Hong Luan was not far away, directing the servants to work.

Seeing Li Lin approach, Huang Qi put down her work, stood up, and came forward to ask, "Won't you study in the study for a while longer?"

"No need; haste makes waste." Li Lin thought for a moment and said, "Neither you nor Hong Luan may reveal this matter to anyone, not even your parents."

"I understand," Huang Qi said gently. "I will tell Hong Luan."

In the days that followed, Li Lin behaved normally, except that at night he reduced the time spent on dual cultivation to practice the new cultivation method.

When the Yang Xing Jing and the Yang Ming Jing are combined, they form the 'Foundation Establishment Method'.

Dual cultivation of life and nature.

Li Lin did not understand why the creator of this cultivation method had split the Foundation Establishment Method into two parts, but now he no longer cared about that; he would practice first and worry later.

As for the Yin Heart Art... he had already abandoned it.

With dual cultivation of life and nature, separating out the Yin Qi is very simple.

Moreover, the 'Qi' produced by practicing the Foundation Establishment Method is very light.

It races through the body at incredible speed, and wherever it passes, the meridians seem to expand slightly.

Li Lin felt his strength rising rapidly.

He tried it out; using the newly cultivated 'Qi' to drive the Fallen Thunder Incantation, the incantation casting speed increased greatly, hand seals were no longer needed, the mind moved with the will, and lightning could be summoned in less than three breaths.

At the same time, the color of the lightning changed from green and red to purple.

The purple of 'Purple Qi from the East'.

If this Qi is used to drive martial techniques, such as the Yu Family Spear Technique, not only is the spear intent more distinct, but the entire spear becomes covered in purple gas.

When thrusting or swinging, the purple gas can be struck out, forming a special ranged attack.

It can strike two or three zhang away, depending on how much Qi is used.

Of course... doing this consumes a great deal of 'Qi'. After launching four or five ranged attacks, Li Lin would be exhausted.

This must be 'Immortal Qi', or perhaps Spiritual Qi.

Since I am not yet an Immortal, I shall call it Spiritual Qi.

Li Lin was overjoyed; he had finally placed half a foot within the threshold of cultivation.

Additionally, he discovered that when cultivating with his wives, mobilizing Spiritual Qi yielded even better results.

After half a month passed, one night while Li Lin sat in meditation, he studied the Spiritual Qi within his body as it condensed toward his lower abdomen.

There, it formed a vortex of air, slowly rotating.

Qi Refining Realm, First Layer.

This is what the 'Foundation Establishment Method' describes.

When Spiritual Qi rotates on its own, one has entered the path.

He could not contain his joy, pacing back and forth in the bedroom, unable to sleep.

Because he feared waking his two wives, he went out to sit in the main hall.

The moonlight was bright and clear; even without lamps, the surroundings were quite luminous.

Li Yanjing materialized from the altar and said, "Your blood energy surges and your divine soul stirs. What has happened to make you so happy?"

"Indeed, I am quite happy."

"Have you learned a new cultivation method?" Li Yanjing asked curiously.

Li Lin nodded: "Can you tell?"

"We Apparitions are very sensitive to human scents." Li Yanjing leaned close to Li Lin, her soft body pressing against him: "Your scent has been slowly changing these past few days; how could I not sense it?"

Li Lin smiled: "Has it become better, or worse?"

"Better." Li Yanjing smiled: "May I take a single breath to taste it?"

Speaking of blood energy... Li Lin remembered that tomorrow was the day to return to the village to offer blood energy to the Tree Immortal Lady.

Now that I have switched to Spiritual Qi... will she like it?

Or perhaps, will Spiritual Qi cause harm to an Apparition?

Seeing Li Yanjing wanted to taste it, he said: "I dare not guarantee whether my blood energy might harm you, so when you inhale it, you had best proceed cautiously; take just a tiny sip and stop, prioritizing caution."

How could Li Yanjing refuse? She nodded repeatedly.

Li Lin extended his left palm.

Li Yanjing cupped Li Lin's hand as if holding some precious treasure, her eyes filled with intense heat.

Li Yanjing extended her tongue and gently sucked out a tiny amount.

Truly, it was just a tiny bit.

The blood energy also shifted from white to a pale purple.

Li Yanjing swallowed this tiny amount of blood energy; immediately, her eyes clearly lost focus, her entire body trembled, and then she collapsed softly to the ground.

She murmured softly, who knew what she was saying, her face flushed intensely.

Seeing her like this, Li Lin instinctively hissed.
