Chapter 186: First Entry into Foundation Establishment, Suppressing Nangong

On the peak of the green mountain, white clouds and soft wind.

Two figures sat opposite each other, wisps of tea fragrance lingering between them.

A touch of shock remained on Nangong Jin's face, unable to be eliminated.

"Did you really succeed?"

His voice carried a trace of disbelief.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, blowing the heat lingering on the teacup.

He sipped it lightly.

"Hoo... Fellow Daoist, as you can see, can this be fake?"

While speaking, a violent spiritual sense was instantly released.

Nangong Jin's face was solemn, and he also released his own spiritual sense.

Just for an instant.

They collided and retracted upon contact.

"Hmm!"

Nangong Jin let out a muffled groan, his face pale for a flash.

He looked at Luo Chen in shock and horror.

"First entry into Foundation Establishment, the divine soul foundation is so thick!"

Luo Chen smiled apologetically.

"Sorry, the realm is not stable, unable to restrain the edge, it offended you, Fellow Daoist."

Nangong Jin waved his hand, not minding this.

The two had just made a simple collision of spiritual sense.

It was like ordinary people arm-wrestling, not a clash of weapons, so it didn't count as being injured.

What shocked him was that Luo Chen, upon first entering Foundation Establishment, had such a thick spiritual sense.

Releasing spiritual sense is an extension of the divine soul.

Such a powerful spiritual sense can only mean that Luo Chen has a divine soul foundation far exceeding his peers.

He smiled bitterly: "No wonder you were able to succeed in one go, I think you must have already achieved a great divine soul during the Qi Refining stage."

"In this way, when breaking through to Foundation Establishment, you could calmly mobilize the spiritual power in your body and accurately impact the dantian barrier."

That's right, that's the only explanation.

Otherwise, why could Luo Chen ascend to the sky in one step!

You know, many outstanding rogue cultivators and sect elites would be confused and at a loss by the violent medicinal power when impacting the Foundation Establishment barrier.

At that time, how could they talk about breaking through the dantian barrier and reshaping the Dao foundation.

Even if they luckily broke through the dantian barrier.

They would also cause huge damage to their own bodies because they didn't have enough time to restrain the rampaging spiritual power torrent.

Luo Chen smiled without saying a word, but sighed lightly in his heart.

If it were really that simple!

He also walked over from failure after failure.

The strength of the divine soul foundation indeed allowed him to enjoy all the benefits.

Without such a powerful divine soul, he could not have used the Foundation Establishment Elixir and Emperor's Flowing Pulp one after another to impact Foundation Establishment.

Moreover, besides the divine soul.

The strength of the physique was also an important factor in his success.

Ordinary people, impacting Foundation Establishment once, easily damage their own body.

But he had insisted on using Nourishing Spirit Liquid, Golden Jade Liquid, and monster meat and spirit rice had never been broken for many years.

Therefore, he possessed a powerful physique.

According to Wang Yuan's standard, Luo Chen was already infinitely close to the Vajra physique.

In other words, he himself was already close to the Great Perfection of the first realm of body refining.

With both approaches, plus the accumulation of medicinal power from one Foundation Establishment Elixir and Emperor's Flowing Pulp after another.

This formed the spiritual power barrier, divine soul barrier, and physique barrier, all of which exceeded the standard.

Success in one go was truly deserved!

If Nangong Jin knew that Luo Chen had consumed five portions of Foundation Establishment spirit medicine in one breath, I'm afraid he would also curse "he deserves to succeed in Foundation Establishment"!

Of course, Luo Chen would naturally not tell Nangong Jin about the reasons.

He now had another problem bothering him.

"Fellow Daoist, do you have the Yi Wood Medicine King Scripture in your hand?"

"Yi Wood Medicine King Scripture?" Nangong Jin raised his eyebrows, then reacted, "You don't have a second-tier main cultivation method yet?"

Seeing Luo Chen nod.

He was puzzled: "That shouldn't be, the Duan family, as a Foundation Establishment family with a three-hundred-year heritage, must have recorded corresponding cultivation methods!"

"They have them, but unfortunately, those are not very suitable for me."

Luo Chen replied, and a look of distress appeared on his face.

The Duan family's library indeed recorded three second-tier cultivation methods.

"Canghai Breaking Waves Formula"

"Ding Fire One Qi Method"

"Nether Spring Nether Fire"

The first two were the main cultivation methods of the Duan family, one water and one fire, applicable to the scope of casting.

Like Duan Qiankun and Duan Feng, both cultivated these two methods.

And the latter was specially sought by Duan Qiankun for his little grandson Duan Rui.

It claimed to be able to cultivate both water and fire, with unparalleled combat power!

With Luo Chen's five-element spiritual roots, in fact, there was no problem in turning to cultivate these three methods.

Especially "Nether Spring Nether Fire", if mastered, the increase in Luo Chen's combat power would be extremely huge.

Moreover, he was not worried that this method would not be applicable to himself.

Because, there is a system.

As long as the proficiency is brushed up, it will slowly fit himself.

What made Luo Chen unable to make up his mind was Changchun Gong!

This method was already at Great Perfection; if it could seamlessly connect to the Yi Wood Medicine King Scripture, it would save him a lot of basic accumulation time.

Fast entry is inevitable!

If he turned to cultivate "Nether Spring Nether Fire" with different attributes, entry would be a big problem.

He didn't know how much time it would take.

Therefore, after thinking about it, he still intended to choose the "Yi Wood Medicine King Scripture".

Facing Luo Chen's inquiry, if it were the Nangong Jin of the past, it would most likely be a flat refusal.

But now, times have changed!

Luo Chen had already reached Foundation Establishment and was at the same level as him.

And in the Luo Tian Society, there was a second-tier violent ape, plus a Wang Yuan who could fight Foundation Establishment.

With such strength, he had to treat it carefully.

Thinking about it, his eyes turned.

"I don't have this scripture, after all, my Nangong family comes from Snow Lotus Market, and most of the cultivation methods circulating there are water-based, ice-based, and wind-based."

"However, in this Dahefang, there is one person who might have what you want."

Luo Chen's eyes lit up.

"Who?"

"Li Yixian!"

Nangong Jin slowly spat out three words.

"Li Yixian?"

Muttering this name, Luo Chen thought of the Foundation Establishment female cultivator whose true face he had never seen.

The meeting with Nangong Jin only lasted until the evening, and Luo Chen made an excuse to close up to stabilize his realm.

Of course, before Nangong Jin left, Luo Chen told him that the Foundation Establishment Ceremony would be held in three days.

At that time, he must invite him to observe the ceremony.

Nangong Jin naturally had no objection and also said he would definitely help him contact Li Yixian.

As for whether it would succeed or not, it would depend on what price Luo Chen could pay and Li Yixian's personal willingness.

And after Nangong Jin left, a figure dragging chains and carrying two large wine gourds came to the mountain.

"Sure enough, drinking is still more refreshing than drinking tea!"

Facing a friend, Luo Chen had no scruples.

No longer the immortal-like appearance of the afternoon, he lay lazily on the chair, watching the clouds rolling and relaxing outside the mountain, and the tired birds returning home.

Wang Yuan raised the gourd.

"Congratulations!"

"Hehe, congratulations to you too!"

Luo Chen picked up the big gourd and bumped it with him.

The "congratulations to you too" in his words was not without reason.

With his current perception, he could clearly perceive Wang Yuan's current state.

The spiritual power fluctuation was no longer fluctuating, but stabilized at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

Although it still couldn't reach the Foundation Establishment realm, at least during battle, he could exert stable strength.

"Speaking of which, Wang Ge, you are now at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, you should be able to try elixir Foundation Establishment!"

However, facing this suggestion, Wang Yuan shook his head.

He put down the wine gourd and sighed.

"Once you step on the path of blood-path Foundation Establishment, it is a road that cannot be turned back."

Luo Chen was surprised, "Can you only take that method?"

"Hmm, and there are only two chances left."

As soon as these words came out, the two were slightly silent.

The method in Luo Chen's mouth was naturally the Blood Fiend Seizing Spirit Array that Wang Yuan had fused together.

Using this for Foundation Establishment, one could ascend to the sky in one step.

However, this method had huge flaws, and the first failure caused serious sequelae.

It seemed that Wang Yuan's state was good now, but in fact, the chain running through his body showed that his state was not that good.

The Soul-Fixing Oath only helped him hold his original heart and not be disturbed by Duan Qiankun's remnant soul.

If he wanted to solve this problem, he must successfully reach Foundation Establishment.

Moreover, the Blood Fiend Seizing Spirit Array had a total of three chances.

Wang Yuan had already failed once, if the subsequent two times still couldn't succeed...

"It can only be said that taking shortcuts itself carries risks."

Wang Yuan said calmly.

He looked at Luo Chen, who was full of sharp edges and whose spiritual power fluctuated from time to time, and advised: "You must not repeat my mistakes, every step must be taken steadily!"

Luo Chen nodded heavily.

He also understood this truth.

Wang Yuan tried to take a shortcut and failed; he, Luo Chen, walked all the way, relying on taking a large amount of elixirs, saving decades of hard cultivation, wasn't that also taking a shortcut.

The consequence was the elixir poison barrier still lingering outside the dantian at this moment.

Before solving this hidden danger, he did not dare to take elixirs rashly again.

Moreover, the top priority was not to accelerate cultivation, but to consolidate the cultivation realm.

"After the Foundation Establishment Ceremony, I will close up for a while to consolidate my realm."

"At that time, I will have to trouble Wang Ge to watch over the Luo Tian Society for me."

This was a matter of course, and Wang Yuan did not refuse.

What's more, now those trivial matters didn't trouble him.

With Sima Huiniang, Murong, Gu Caiyi, and a group of people, he only needed to act as a Dinghai Divine Needle to deter all directions.

And now, the Luo Tian Society didn't just have him as a Dinghai Divine Needle!

Luo Chen—Foundation Establishment True Cultivator!

This name, when spoken out, was still very prestigious.

"Don't you want to see Qin Liangchen and the others?"

Luo Chen shook his head, "It's not the time yet, I can't leave the Qingmao House for these few days."

That's true!

Wang Yuan could perceive that Luo Chen's state was not very good.

He indeed needed to consolidate his realm.

Since that was the case, Wang Yuan didn't disturb him much and walked down the mountain leisurely.

Watching Wang Yuan's back gradually disappear into the night, Luo Chen sighed slightly.

Perhaps, these few years were also a rare time for Wang Yuan to cultivate quietly.

The conversation just now, the other party had much less of the high spirits of the past and became more steady.

After Wang Yuan left.

Luo Chen didn't enter the room, but faced the mountain wind and slowly closed his eyes.

The first time.

His gaze fell into the dantian.

The rebuilt dantian was ten times larger than before!

Layer upon layer, as if divided into stages.

Calling it a dantian was no longer appropriate.

According to the description in the classics, at this time it should be called a "Sea of Qi".

The dantian becomes a sea, accommodating all rivers.

The Sea of Qi has nine heavens, one layer is one hurdle.

If it can be full of nine layers, it will condense into a Jin Dan, which is the origin of the Jin Dan stage.

Therefore, the Foundation Establishment stage is also divided into nine layers, just like the Qi Refining stage.

Taking three, six, and nine as limits, it is called the early, middle, and late stages.

These, for the time being, were all irrelevant.

What Luo Chen cared about was his current state.

After the successful Foundation Establishment, the rebuilt Dao foundation was extremely stable!

Luo Chen didn't know what other people's Dao foundation was like, but for himself, if he wanted to rely on hard cultivation to reach the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, it would take at least hundreds of years or even thousands of years!

This was just a rough estimate.

Because there was no main cultivation method, at this moment he could only rely on the Great Perfection Changchun Gong to refine the spiritual power in his body.

At the bottom of the Sea of Qi, there was a thin layer of spirit liquid.

That was another symbol of the Foundation Establishment stage besides the release of spiritual sense—spiritual power turning into liquid.

Only when spiritual power turns into liquid can Foundation Establishment True Cultivators perform various great means, and even manipulate top-grade magic tools at will, and even use magic treasures.

Luo Chen's spirit liquid was not much.

But this was not all of him.

In his first layer of the Sea of Qi, there were still a large number of spiritual energy clouds.

That was the residual gain after he took five portions of Foundation Establishment spirit medicine.

Whether it was the violent Foundation Establishment Elixir or the gentle Emperor's Flowing Pulp, the spiritual energy contained in them was incomparably huge.

Luo Chen impacted the Foundation Establishment stage several times in a short period, and inevitably there would be some that were not utilized in place.

Now, all of them remained in the newly opened Sea of Qi.

If he didn't thoroughly refine them, he couldn't start the true cultivation of the Foundation Establishment stage.

"So, the Yi Wood Medicine King Scripture must be obtained!"

After looking inside himself.

Luo Chen clicked on the attribute panel skillfully.

【Lifespan: 32/150】

【Spiritual Roots: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth】

【Realm: Foundation Establishment Layer 1 10/100】

【Achievement Points: 3】

His gaze fell upon the longevity column at the very first moment.

150!

"It finally changed!"

Seeing this, Luo Chen could not help but let out a long sigh of relief.

For a long time, his longevity had been different from that of a normal person.

Generally, once a human steps onto the path of cultivation, their body begins to undergo a transformation due to the tempering of spiritual energy.

A normal Qi Refining cultivator's longevity limit can reach about one hundred and twenty.

Like Sun Shou of the Jade Cauldron Sword Pavilion, who was clearly over ninety, yet remained cheerful every day and moved with such agility that no signs of old age could be seen.

Or like Granny Yuan of the Luo Tian Society, whose age had long since passed one hundred.

Yet in her daily affairs, she only showed a few signs of old age.

It can be said that as long as they do not suffer any serious injuries, a cultivator's longevity will slowly increase after each breakthrough in realm.

This is a slow transformation of the essence of life.

It is not achieved in one go, but step by step.

The so-called "Foundation Establishment in one day, two hundred years of added life" is just a general term.

But he, Luo Chen, had seen no change in his longevity from the third level of Qi Refining to the Grand Completion of Qi Refining.

Luo Chen guessed that this might be related to his transmigration.

The longevity he inherited was that of his past self!

At that time, as a corporate slave, he worked diligently from nine to nine, six days a week.

Being able to live safely to seventy-five was actually quite good.

But in the current world of immortal cultivation, he was a true short-lived ghost.

Now that the upper limit of his longevity had increased to one hundred and fifty, it was truly a great joy!

"Moreover, as my cultivation base improves and I break through realms, my longevity should continue to change."

"After all, the recorded longevity limit for a Foundation Establishment true cultivator is three hundred years!"

Luo Chen had previously looked up the longevity of Foundation Establishment true cultivators.

Generally speaking, the limit is two hundred and fifty years.

Compared to Qi Refining cultivators, it is a full doubling, plus another ten years or so.

It is precisely for this reason that major sects favor disciples who break through to Foundation Establishment before the age of sixty.

Because this way, they will have a full one hundred and ninety-plus years to calmly break through to the Jin Dan stage.

As for that recorded three hundred years of life?

Of course, that is not the normal state.

It is because someone took miraculous elixirs that extend life.

The Mountain-Breaking Gang once found a Six-Leaf Heavenly Emperor Lotus.

It was said that one leaf added ten years, and all six leaves together could add sixty years of life—truly a rare treasure of heaven and earth!

Mi Shuhua also relied on this medicine to trade for a Foundation Establishment Pill from the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect.

Luo Chen naturally hoped to possess such spiritual herbs as well.

In this way, he would have more time to prepare for the Jin Dan stage.

But for the moment, it was not that urgent.

A full one hundred and fifty years of longevity would allow him to do many things.

"The realm is Foundation Establishment Level 1, but the progress is different from before."

In previous breakthroughs, whether it was the proficiency of spells and elixirs or the realm and techniques, it was often just "1".

This time, it directly increased by ten points.

It must be the credit of those five portions of Foundation Establishment spiritual medicine.

Luo Chen scanned down quickly and paused at the "Bright Spirit Breaking Evil" section.

This is a good technique!

When he faced the excruciating pain brought by the Foundation Establishment Pill and the confusing, warm illusion of the Emperor-Flowing Plasma, it allowed him to remain sufficiently clear-headed.

As for the other things, there was nothing much to look at.

Luo Chen now wanted to test what changes his spells had undergone after Foundation Establishment.

There has never been an unchanging spell!

As a cultivator's realm improves, even the same weak spell undergoes huge changes in the hands of a Foundation Establishment cultivator compared to a Qi Refining cultivator.

First is the Fireball Spell.

He was so familiar with this spell that he could release or retract it at will.

With a thought, a small fireball appeared between his palms.

"Just a sliver of spiritual liquid is comparable to the small fireball I used to cast with all my might."

"If I increase the input of spiritual power, the power should be several times greater than before."

This change might seem small.

But Luo Chen also mastered the method of fireball fusion, and the resulting Blazing Sun Spell was a terrifying amplification!

"If I encounter an enemy now, I don't need to hide to rub together a Blazing Sun Spell."

"In just a few breaths, I can condense a Blazing Sun Spell that can threaten those of the same rank."

Luo Chen nodded and put away the Fireball Spell.

This was a huge improvement.

It meant that the Blazing Sun Spell, which he used as a trump card, could become a routine means of dealing with enemies.

Of course, if he wanted to maximize the power, he would still need enough time to fuse it, but that didn't affect anything.

A normally cast Blazing Sun Spell already had the power of a Tier 2 spell.

After the fireball dissipated, Luo Chen successively familiarized himself with the other spells in his hand.

Even the Sword Pellet and the Green Musk Gathering Dragon Flag and other magic treasures were taken out one by one to experiment.

It must be said that after Foundation Establishment, the changes were truly too great.

The abundant magic power allowed him to easily cast these magic treasures that previously consumed a lot of spiritual power.

"No wonder Duan Qiankun could almost infinitely drive the He Luo Sword when facing Wang Yuan."

"I can now also drive the Green Musk Gathering Dragon Flag at will!"

These were all related to attacks.

Luo Chen calmed his mind and mobilized a wisp of spiritual liquid, carefully pouring it into his eyes.

The next moment, his eyes burst with bright light!

The Grand Completion Spirit Eye Spell was suddenly activated.

Luo Chen stood on the peak of Mount Xiaqiu, his eyes surveying the wilderness.

One hundred miles, two hundred miles...

In an instant, Luo Chen saw a thousand miles away!

"Thousand-Mile Eyes?"

"This should count as a divine ability, right!"

Luo Chen clicked his tongue in wonder; this kind of change was truly unexpected.

But after careful thought, he felt it was a matter of course.

He had practiced the Spirit Eye Spell to the Grand Completion level, which was already extraordinary.

Over the years, he had taken a lot of Bright-Clearing Liquid, and the Moistening Pearl Liquid had basically never been interrupted.

Although there had been no qualitative change before.

But now that his realm had broken through, it had ushered in a joyful harvest.

"In this way, I can anticipate the enemy and gain the initiative!"

Luo Chen's soul foundation was very strong, which was why he could compete with Nangong Jin just after advancing to the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

And he was even slightly superior!

But in terms of the range of his external spiritual sense, it was only five miles away.

Three miles more than the average person who had just entered Foundation Establishment.

This was a huge improvement, and a significant lead at the starting stage.

But compared to these Thousand-Mile Eyes, it was far inferior.

There was no help for it; he hadn't taken many Profound-Penetrating Pills, and his soul foundation was still not strong enough.

"Never mind, most of the means are familiar; I can familiarize myself with the rest after my realm stabilizes."

Familiarizing himself with these means took Luo Chen a long time.

At this moment, the sky was already slightly bright.

Just as Luo Chen intended to withdraw the Spirit Eye Spell, his gaze paused in the most familiar direction.

"Eh?"

Thanks to the great alliance leader Yanhua Xiaomin for the 10, 00 Qidian coin reward!

Thanks to Wuyouke for the 600 Qidian coin reward, Ai o_o for the 100 Qidian coin reward, and book friends for the 100 Qidian coin rewards.
