Chapter 186: First Entry into Foundation Establishment, Suppressing Nangong

At the summit of the green mountain, white clouds and soft winds.

Two figures sat facing each other, wisps of tea fragrance lingering between the two.

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

"You really succeeded?"

His voice carried a trace of disbelief.

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

He sipped it lightly.

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

While speaking, a violent spirit sense was instantly released.

Nangong Jin's complexion was solemn, and he also released his own spirit sense.

It was only for an instant.

They collided and then retracted immediately.

"Hmm!"

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

He looked at Luo Chen in shock and horror.

"First entry into Foundation Establishment, yet the soul foundation is this vigorous!"

Luo Chen smiled apologetically.

"Apologies, the realm is not yet stable, unable to restrain the edge, offending you, Fellow Daoist."

Nangong Jin waved his hand, not minding this.

The two had just made a simple spirit sense collision.

It was like ordinary people arm-wrestling; it wasn't a clash of weapons, so it couldn't be called an injury.

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

Releasing spirit sense is an extension of the soul.

Such powerful spirit sense could only mean that Luo Chen had a soul foundation far exceeding those of the same rank.

He smiled bitterly: "No wonder you could succeed in one go; I suppose your soul was already perfected during the Qi Refining stage."

"In this way, when breaking through to Foundation Establishment, you could calmly mobilize the spirit energy in your body and precisely impact the Dantian barrier."

Yes, that was the only explanation.

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

One must know that many outstanding loose cultivators and sect elites would be at a loss when impacted by the violent medicinal power during the Foundation Establishment breakthrough.

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

Even if they luckily broke through the Dantian barrier.

They would also cause huge damage to their own bodies because there wasn't enough time to restrain the rampaging spirit energy torrent.

Luo Chen smiled without speaking, but sighed lightly in his heart.

If it were really that simple!

He also walked over from failure after failure.

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

Without such a powerful soul, he could not have used the Foundation Establishment Pill and Imperial Di Di Liu Jiang successively to impact Foundation Establishment.

Moreover, besides the soul.

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

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

But he had insisted on using Peiyuan Spirit Liquid and Golden Quality Jade Liquid for many years, and demon beast meat and spirit rice had never been cut off.

Therefore, he possessed a powerful physique.

According to Wang Yuan's standard, Luo Chen was already infinitely close to a Diamond Physique.

In other words, he himself was already close to the perfection of the first stage of body cultivation.

With both approaches, plus the medicinal power accumulation of one Foundation Establishment Pill and Imperial Di Di Liu Jiang after another.

This formed the spirit energy barrier, soul barrier, and physique barrier, all exceeding the standard.

Succeeding 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, he would probably 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 'Yimu Medicine King Scripture'?"

"'Yimu Medicine King Scripture'?" Nangong Jin raised an eyebrow, then reacted, "You don't have a second-tier destiny cultivation technique yet?"

Seeing Luo Chen nod.

He said uncomprehendingly: "That shouldn't be, after all, the Duan family is a Foundation Establishment family with three hundred years of inheritance; they must have collected corresponding cultivation techniques!"

"They have them, but unfortunately, those aren't very suitable for me."

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

The Duan family's library did indeed collect three second-tier cultivation techniques.

"Canghai Duanlang Jue" (Vast Sea Breaking Wave Art)

"Ding Huo Yiqi Fa" (Ding Fire One Qi Method)

"Youquan Minghuo" (Nether Spring Nether Fire)

The first two were the main cultivation techniques of the Duan family, one water and one fire, applicable to the scope of weapon smithing.

Like Duan Qiankun and Duan Feng, they both practiced these two types of cultivation techniques.

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 spirit root, in fact, there would be no problem practicing these three types of cultivation techniques.

Especially "Youquan Minghuo." If he mastered it, 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 the 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 technique had already reached Great Perfection. If it could seamlessly connect to the "Yimu Medicine King Scripture," it would save him a lot of basic accumulation time.

Quick entry is inevitable!

If he transferred to "Youquan Minghuo" 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 "Yimu Medicine King Scripture."

Facing Luo Chen's inquiry, if it were the Nangong Jin of the past, he would most likely have refused flatly.

But now, times have changed!

Luo Chen had already reached Foundation Establishment and was of the same rank as him.

And in the Luotian Society, there was also a second-tier Explosive Ape, plus a Wang Yuan who could fight Foundation Establishment.

With such strength, he had to treat him carefully.

Thinking about it, his eyes rolled.

"I don't have this scripture. After all, my Nangong family comes from the Snow Lotus Square, and most of the cultivation techniques circulating there are water-type, ice-type, and wind-type."

"However, in this Dahe Square, 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?"

Murmuring 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 used the excuse of needing to stabilize his realm to go into seclusion.

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 even 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 wishes.

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

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

Facing a friend, Luo Chen had no scruples.

No longer the immortal-like appearance of the afternoon, the whole person lay lazily on the chair, watching the clouds roll and birds return in the mountains.

Wang Yuan raised the gourd.

"Congratulations!"

"Hehe, congratulations to you too!"

Luo Chen picked up the large gourd and bumped it with his.

The "congratulations" in his words were not without reason.

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

The spirit energy fluctuations were no longer fluctuating, but stabilized at the level of Qi Refining Great Perfection.

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

"Speaking of which, Brother Wang, you are now Qi Refining Great Perfection, you should be able to try pill Foundation Establishment!"

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

He put down the wine gourd and sighed.

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

Luo Chen was surprised, "Can you only walk that path?"

"Hmm, and only two chances left."

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

The path Luo Chen spoke of was naturally the Blood Fiend Spirit-Seizing Formation that Wang Yuan had fused back then.

Using this to reach Foundation Establishment, one could step into the sky in one step.

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

It seemed Wang Yuan's state was not bad 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 had to successfully reach Foundation Establishment.

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

Wang Yuan had already failed once; if he couldn't succeed in the next two times...

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

Wang Yuan said calmly.

He looked at Luo Chen, who was full of edge and whose spirit energy fluctuations were surging from time to time, and advised: "You must not repeat my mistakes; every step must be taken steadily!"

Luo Chen nodded heavily.

How could he not understand this principle.

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

The consequence was the pill poison barrier still lingering outside his Dantian at this moment.

Before solving this hidden danger, he dared not take pills rashly again.

Moreover, the urgent matter was not to accelerate cultivation, but to consolidate the realm and cultivation base.

"After the Foundation Establishment Ceremony, I will go into seclusion for a while to consolidate my realm."

"At that time, I will have to trouble Brother Wang to watch over the Luotian Society for me."

This was only natural, and Wang Yuan did not refuse.

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

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

Moreover, the Luotian Society now had more than one Dinghai Divine Needle!

Luo Chen—Foundation Establishment true cultivator!

This title, 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 Green Thatched Hut for these few days."

That's right!

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

He indeed needed to consolidate his realm.

Since that was the case, Wang Yuan did not disturb him much and chatted a few words before strolling down the mountain.

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

Perhaps, these few years were also a rare moment of quiet cultivation for Wang Yuan.

The conversation just now lacked much of the high spirits of the past and became more steady.

After Wang Yuan left.

Luo Chen did not go into the house, but faced the mountain wind and slowly closed his eyes.

The first moment.

His gaze fell into his Dantian.

The rebuilt Dantian was ten times larger than before!

Layer upon layer, as if divided into stages.

Calling it Dantian was no longer appropriate.

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

Dantian turns into a sea, accommodating all rivers.

Qi Sea Nine Heavens, one layer is one barrier.

If one can reach the perfection of the ninth layer, one will condense a Golden Core; this is the origin of the Golden Core 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, they are called early, middle, and late stages.

These, for the time being, were all irrelevant.

What Luo Chen cared about was his current state.

The Dao foundation rebuilt after Foundation Establishment success was extremely solid!

Luo Chen didn't know what other people's Dao foundations were like, but as for himself, if he wanted to rely on hard cultivation to reach Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, it would take at least several hundred or even possibly a thousand years!

This was just a rough estimate.

Because there was no destiny cultivation technique, he could only rely on the Great Perfection Changchun Gong to refine the spirit energy in his body.

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

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

Only when spirit energy turns into liquid can Foundation Establishment true cultivators exert various great means, and even manipulate top-grade magic tools at will, and even drive magic treasures.

Luo Chen's spirit liquid was not much.

But this was not all of his.

In his first layer of Qi Sea, there were still a large number of spirit energy cloud clusters.

That was the residue obtained after he took five portions of Foundation Establishment spirit medicine.

Whether it was the violent Foundation Establishment Pill or the gentle Imperial Di Di Liu Jiang, the spirit energy contained was incomparable.

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

Now, they were all remaining in the newly opened Qi Sea.

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

"Therefore, the 'Yimu Medicine King Scripture' must be obtained!"

After looking inside himself.

Luo Chen skillfully clicked on the attribute panel.

【Lifespan: 32/150】

【Achievement Points: 3】

The first moment, his gaze fell on the lifespan column.

150!

"Finally changed!"

Seeing this, Luo Chen sighed with relief.

All along, his lifespan had been different from normal people.

Humans who embark on the path of cultivation will gradually begin to transform because of spirit energy tempering.

Normal Qi Refining cultivators have a lifespan limit of about 120.

Like Sun Shou of the Yuding Sword Pavilion, even though he was over ninety, he was still happy every day, walking like flying, showing no signs of old age.

Or like Granny Yuan in the Luotian Society, her age was already over a hundred.

But she only had some signs of old age in her daily work.

It could be said that as long as they don't suffer any serious injuries, the lifespan of cultivators will slowly increase after each realm breakthrough.

This is a slow transformation of the essence of life.

Not in one go, but step by step.

The so-called "Foundation Establishment in one morning, lifespan increased by two hundred" is just a general term.

But he, Luo Chen, from Qi Refining third layer to Qi Refining Great Perfection, his lifespan had never changed.

Luo Chen guessed that this might be related to his crossing over.

The lifespan inherited was his previous life.

At that time, as a social animal, he worked diligently, nine to nine, six days a week.

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

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

Now that the lifespan limit had increased to 150, it was truly a great joy!

"Moreover, as my cultivation improves and realm breaks through, my lifespan should still change."

"After all, the lifespan limit of Foundation Establishment true cultivators is recorded as three hundred years!"

Luo Chen had checked the lifespan of Foundation Establishment true cultivators before.

Generally speaking, the limit is 250 years.

Compared to Qi Refining cultivators, it doubled, and added ten or so years.

It was precisely because of this that major sects would favor disciples who broke through to Foundation Establishment before the age of sixty.

Because in this way, they would have a full 190-plus years to calmly break through to the Golden Core stage.

As for the recorded three hundred years?

Naturally, it was not a normal state.

But rather, they had taken miraculous pills to prolong life.

Back then, the Poshan Gang had once found a Six-Leaf Heavenly Emperor Lotus.

It was said that one leaf added ten years, and six leaves added sixty years; it was truly a rare treasure of heaven and earth!

Mi Shuhua also relied on this medicine to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill from the Yuding Sword Sect.

Luo Chen naturally also hoped to possess such spirit herbs.

In this way, he would have more time to prepare for the Golden Core stage.

But for the present, it was not that urgent.

More than a hundred years of sufficient lifespan could allow him to do many things.

"The realm is Foundation Establishment first layer, the progress is different from usual."

Breakthroughs in the past, whether it was spell pill proficiency or realm cultivation technique, were often "1."

This time, it added ten points directly.

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

Luo Chen browsed down at a glance and paused at Ming Shen Mingshen Posha.

This is a good cultivation technique!

In the face of the severe pain brought by the Foundation Establishment Pill and the warm, deceptive illusion of the Imperial Di Di Liu Jiang, it kept him clear-headed enough.

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

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

There is no unchanging spell!

As the cultivator's realm improves, even if it is the same weak spell, there are huge changes in the hands of Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators.

First is the Fireball Spell.

This spell, he was familiar with to an extreme state, able to release and retract.

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

"Just a wisp of spirit liquid is comparable to the small fireball I cast with all my strength back then."

"If I increase the spirit energy input, the power should be several times what it was before."

This change didn't seem big.

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

"If I meet an enemy now, I don't need to hide and rub the Blazing Sun Spell."

"Just a few breaths, and 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 is a huge improvement.

It represents that the Blazing Sun Spell he used as a trump card can become a conventional means of fighting the enemy.

Of course, if he wants to maximize the power, he still needs enough time to fuse, but this doesn't affect anything.

The normally cast Blazing Sun Spell already has the power of a second-tier spell.

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

Even magic tools like the sword pill and the Green Musk Dragon-Gathering Flag were all taken out for experiments.

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

Abundant magic power allowed him to easily cast these magic tools that consumed a lot of spirit energy before.

"No wonder back then Duan Qiankun could almost infinitely drive the Heluo Sword when facing Wang Yuan."

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

These were all related to attacks.

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

The next moment, his eyes bloomed with brilliance!

The Great Perfection Spirit Eye Spell opened its eyes suddenly.

Luo Chen stood on the summit of Mount Xiaohuan, his eyes covering the wilderness.

A hundred miles, two hundred miles...

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

"Thousand-mile eyes?"

"This should be counted as a divine ability!"

Luo Chen clicked his tongue in wonder; this change truly made him not expect it.

But thinking carefully, he felt it was only natural.

The Spirit Eye Spell was practiced by him to the Great Perfection level, which was already extraordinary.

Over the years, he had taken a lot of Tongming Liquid, and the Runming Pearl Liquid had basically never been cut off.

Although it didn't form a qualitative change before.

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

"In this way, I can anticipate the enemy's opportunities!"

Luo Chen's soul foundation was very strong, which was why he could compete with Nangong Jin just after entering Foundation Establishment.

And faintly surpassed him by a notch!

But in terms of the range of spirit sense release, it was only five miles away. 【186

Three li more than ordinary early-stage Foundation Establishment peers.

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

But compared to this pair of thousand-li eyes, it was far inferior.

No way, not many Tongyou Pills were taken, and the soul foundation was still not strong enough.

"Fine, most of the means are familiar; after the realm stabilizes later, I will familiarize myself with them one or two more times."

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 Art, his gaze paused in the most familiar direction.

"Eh?"

Thanks to the Great Alliance Leader Yanhua Xiaomin for the 10,000 Qidian coin tip!

Thanks to Wuyou Ke for the 600 Qidian coin tip, Ai o_o for the 100 Qidian coin tip, Book Friend for the 100 Qidian coin tip, and Book Friend for the 100 Qidian coin tip.
