Chapter 285: Polishing the Qi Sea

Returning to the cliff below the bamboo forest and the absolute peak, the Golden Ring Bee hive was two circles larger than three years ago. After counting carefully, there were about fifty or so adult bees the size of a fist, and the bee colony had begun to take shape.

Climbing the cliff to look into the hive, there were also about seventeen or eighteen young bee pupae.

If they were dispatched in full force, I'm afraid it wouldn't be a problem to deal with a few cultivators below the mid-stage of Qi Refinement.

Another benefit of raising Golden Ring Bees was also to serve as a warning. If there were petty thieves who didn't take the right path up the mountain and peeked at Gan Zhu Ridge from places without mountain paths, these Golden Ring Bees could bring them unexpected trouble.

Taking a gourd of Golden Ring honey, Liu Liu Xiaolou went down the cliff with satisfaction and returned to the small courtyard.

Looking at the dilapidated small courtyard, he hesitated for a moment and decided not to repair it for the time being, to avoid exposing the fact that he had returned to the mountain. Although it looked like no one had been here for the past three years, it was better to be steady and not cause any commotion.

Returning to the absolute peak, Liu Liu Xiaolou put away the array plate, and the spiritual power overflowing from the stone crack immediately closed, cutting off the source of spiritual energy spreading all around. Before long, the spiritual power on the absolute peak of Gan Zhu Ridge dissipated. Below the stone crack, it was the same as before, without any abnormality.

This indicated that what the array plate opened was indeed not the tangible gap under the stone crack, but the void mentioned by He Fengzhu. It was just that this opened void had no traces to follow and was difficult to explore.

Regardless, the spiritual power could be opened and closed, and Liu Liu Xiaolou was extremely satisfied with this array plate!

He built a simple small shed beside the stone crack, covered with withered grass and vines. At a glance, it looked like a bush, so he could cultivate with peace of mind.

His heart and mind connected with the two seeds, and the vision of the two mountain roads appeared in his mind. Everything was as usual, so he turned his attention back, absorbed the spiritual power escaping from the stone crack, continued to accumulate and thicken true qi, and polished it repeatedly in the Perfection of Qi Refinement.

After the Perfection of Qi Refinement, there was no place for cultivation in meridians and acupoints. At this time, it was necessary to continue to accumulate true qi, so that true qi could be generated endlessly from various meridians and acupoints, then overflow, flow toward the Qi Sea, and finally gather and condense in the Qi Sea, polishing the Qi Sea acupoint. When the Qi Sea world was formed, it left the cultivation of meridians and acupoints, that is, the category of body cultivation, and entered the stage of spiritual sense cultivation, which was called Foundation Establishment.

For major orthodox sects, this was the beginning of true cultivation.

According to the cultivation techniques, some cultivation geniuses with innate talents could successfully break through to Foundation Establishment without taking Foundation Establishment pills. The key lay in directly opening the Qi Sea and supporting the Qi Sea world.

This barrier had a huge demand for spiritual power. How much spiritual power was enough varied from person to person. Many cultivators reached this step, and if there was no stable source of spiritual power, they would often be delayed for who knows how many years. Coupled with the extreme difficulty of seeking Foundation Establishment pills, the loose cultivators who could establish a foundation were truly rare.

In the case of Gan Zhu Ridge, there was no doubt that a spiritual eye had been hit. Because the overflow of spiritual power was insufficient, it could not be called a spiritual spring, although its efficacy was only 30% of a spirit stone, but it was lasting and belonged only to himself.

Having this spiritual eye, he didn't need to run around for spirit stones anymore.

Suddenly, he thought of the five Sect Master's tokens of He Fengzhu. If there were two more in his array plate, would the spiritual power hit be richer?

From this day on, Liu Liu Xiaolou sat firmly on the spiritual eye and entered a state of seclusion, absorbing the spiritual power escaping from the spiritual eye incessantly, and converting it into true qi in his meridians.

Sitting for a long time, when he was hungry and thirsty, he would go down the mountain for a walk, eat some honey, hunt some wild game, cook some fish soup, boil some spiritual rice porridge, eat and drink enough, watch the starry night, blow the mountain wind, and then return to the absolute peak to continue cultivation.

True qi gradually filled the true qi acupoint pools everywhere, then overflowed, flowing toward the Qi Sea acupoint along the meridians like flowing water, finally gathering here.

The reason why the Qi Sea was called the Qi Sea was that during Foundation Establishment, it would turn into a true sea of true qi. It was not only a sea, but also a world. But at this time, the Qi Sea

The true qi acupoint pool in his dantian was not large, and it had long been filled with true qi; more and more true qi gathered here, gradually forming a state of compression.

This compression was unidirectional and continuous. The acupoint pool, which had already been occupied by true qi, now had a large amount of space opened up due to the compression, continuing to accommodate even more true qi.

Summer passed and autumn arrived; the north wind on the mountain was bleak, and in the blink of an eye, winter was here again. After one night, countless mountain peaks were draped in white gauze, and the morning mist was mixed with flying snow...

Liu Liu Xiaolou was immersed in his cultivation, forgetting the changing of the seasons.

It was not until one day in deep winter that his heart suddenly jolted, and an image appeared in his mind—it was the field of vision transmitted by the ghost Struck Banyan seed beside the mountain path.

In the field of vision, a woman was walking up slowly, passing the ghost Struck Banyan.

Half a year had passed, and the ghost Struck Banyan seed planted back then had taken root and sprouted, growing into a Struck Banyan sapling a foot tall; it looked no different from ordinary weeds or wild vines.

The sapling turned its head, continuing to watch the back of the woman going up the mountain. Liu Liu Xiaolou recognized the visitor; it was Huang Huang Ye Huang Xian.

He reached out a hand to summon the array plate, closing it and drawing it into his hand; the spiritual eye was closed along with it.

With a movement of his body, he quietly arrived at a spot diagonally above the small courtyard. Peering down from his hidden position, he saw Huang Huang Ye Huang Xian arrive outside the courtyard's wattle wall, stopping for a long time before the dilapidated small courtyard.

Before going up the mountain, Liu Liu Xiaolou had heard that Huang Huang Ye Huang Xian had joined the Heavenly Matriarch Mountain and become an inner sect disciple. He did not know the exact details of what had happened at Huang Feng Gou that day, but clearly, Huang Huang Ye Huang Xian could no longer be trusted, so he did not show himself, merely hiding in the shadows to continue observing.

He watched as Huang Huang Ye Huang Xian stood there for a long time, sighed softly, went to the grave of their master in the bamboo forest to offer a pot of water and wine, and then turned and left.

Liu Liu Xiaolou followed quietly behind her, watching her leave Gan Zhu Ling. Afterward, she did not go anywhere else and left Wulong Mountain directly.

Recalling the bits and pieces of his interactions with this senior over the years, Liu Liu Xiaolou felt very unsettled and deeply melancholy.

The sound of firecrackers popping came from down the mountain, and the village outside the mountain remained brightly lit in the night. Liu Liu Xiaolou calculated the days and guessed that it must be the New Year.

After listening for a moment, he turned back, returning to the summit of Gan Zhu Ling in the silence of the night. He restarted the array plate, opened the array eye, and continued to focus on his cultivation.

Winter passed, all things revived, spring warmth brought flowers, followed by the warm sun of midsummer, and then the alternation of autumn and winter again...

Liu Liu Xiaolou cultivated with single-minded devotion, tirelessly polishing his dantian acupoint. He polished it for two full years. When, at a certain moment, the true qi could no longer be squeezed into it, and the dantian still showed no changes, Liu Liu Xiaolou finally confirmed—

He was indeed not a genius; the attempt to directly construct a dantian heaven and earth was very difficult to succeed.

These two years were not in vain, however. Polishing the dantian with true qi could allow his achievements after Foundation Establishment—if he could truly reach Foundation Establishment—to reach the highest point he could touch.

The polishing of the dantian was complete, and the accumulation of true qi had reached its maximum limit; it was time to consider a Foundation Establishment Pill.
