NOVEL WEB Chapter 146 Foundation Establishment Opportunity_2
"Alright then, Brother Zhao, you can stay here and I'll start making some healing medicine for you."
With the 300-year-old Fire Spirit Fruit in his possession, Chen Yi now had a viable excuse to treat Zhao Chengyu,
For treatment, he only needed to refine some top-quality healing pills, infuse them with the healing properties of the Turtle Breath Magical Power, and add in fire-elemental Spirit Medicines so that the healing pill carries the characteristics of fire-elemental spiritual power.
As for this Fire Spirit Fruit, Chen Yi decided to keep it, with the intention to practice making his first Foundation Establishment Pill using it as the main ingredient.
Ten days later, Chen Yi presented three bottles of healing pills to Zhao Chengyu,
He also administered the first pill to Zhao Chengyu and utilized the Turtle Breath Magical Power to facilitate the pill's efficacy. He managed to restore about one-tenth of Zhao Chengyu's damaged meridians and then stopped halfway.
"Brother Zhao, come see me once a year for the next ten years and by the end of these ten years, your damaged meridians should be mostly healed.
Moreover, this healing medicine also has the ability to nurture the Dantian.
In ten years' time, when we attempt to heal your Dantian, it should be fully healed by then."
After undergoing a round of treatment, Zhao Chengyu could feel cool and warm sensations in his own meridians. He noticed that his mana became smoother when it flowed through his meridians,
The intense mana he could barely handle before, now flowed smoothly.
Although he didn't understand why the healing medicine refined from the fire-elemental spirit fruit could produce a cooling sensation, but the fact that his body felt better was undeniable,
Elated, he said, "Thank you, Brother Chen! I won't go anywhere for the next ten years. I will rent a Cave Mansion on this island,
Brother Chen, if there's anything you need, just say the word!"
In order to regain his health and prevent his cultivation from stagnating at the initial level of the Foundation Establishment, Zhao Chengyu humbled himself for the first time,
This was the first time he expressed his willingness to follow Chen Yi's orders.
But Chen Yi would never really order him around. Having gained a 300-year-old Fire Spirit Fruit for free, he had already hit the jackpot.,
For this Fire Spirit Fruit, Zhao Chengyu probably owed a sizable favor to Song Chengcheng and Wang Tengfei.
Moreover, to prevent Chen Yi's treatment from appearing too remarkable, Chen Yi purposely extended the treatment period to ten years,
He felt a bit embarrassed about it.
"Don't worry, Brother Zhao. Focus on recuperating in the next ten years. When you're practicing your cultivation daily, be careful not to practice any intense techniques. Protect your meridians and Dantian,
We can discuss everything else after your injuries are healed."
Zhao Chengyu understood the meaning behind Chen Yi's words. Chen Yi wanted him to concentrate on healing first. If he wanted to repay him, he could do it after he was healed.
He nodded and kept these medical advices in mind.
...
So far, Chen Yi had finally collected a complete set of Foundation Establishment Pill materials.
Considering Chen Yi's near ninth layer Qi cultivation level and his divine sense strength that could reach over 20 zhang,
He was ready to start learning how to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Two months later, on a sunny day,
Inside a second tier pill refining room in the core area of Wangyue City,
An old man sighed while looking at the three black waste pills in his hand:
"Creating a Foundation Establishment Pill isn't as easy as it seems. The handling of spirit materials, control over the heat and wind, and the sudden changes in the five elements' properties all require a lot of practice,
Not to mention the requirements of divine sense and spiritual power during the final step of pill fusion. This isn't something that an ordinary Qi Refining Period cultivator can accomplish."
This old man was, of course, Chen Yi under a new identity.
Before this, Chen Yi presumed that he would need to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill several times before succeeding,
Now that he had a complete set of Foundation Establishment Pill materials, he decided to try his hand,
However, he realized before the last step of pill fusion that this batch was doomed to be scrapped.
The characteristics of each pill material and its demand for fire, the unexpected changes during the process were all too complex, which led to chaos,
Chen Yi stored the recording sphere so he could study his mistakes later,
Then, he planned to practice dealing with several types of materials separately to avoid the same mistakes during the next pill refining session.
...
Three years later,
Chen Yi turned 55 years old. His cultivation reached the ninth layer of Qi Refining, increased his mana by about 20%, and opened up the last secondary meridian in his body,
At this point, he had fully reached all the major stages of the Qi Refining Period,
He had a faint feeling that he wasn't far from reaching the upper limit of mana enhancement,
The peak of Qi Refining was not much different from the ninth layer in terms of overall mana.
Meanwhile, his divine sense strength also improved, extending to around 30 zhang, which was almost on par with initial Foundation Establishment cultivators.
In the past few years, Chen Yi improved his alchemy skills. The success rate of making second-tier Vitality and Blood Pills and Beast Pills was around 50%, enough for his body-refining cultivation needs and the normal cultivation needs of the little peregrine,
Of course, the pill's materials still came from his earnings from medical consultations.
Thus, in these three years, there had been progress in both Chen Yi's body refining cultivation and the peregrine's cultivation. If we were to quantify their progress from one to nine layers, they could be said to have stepped into the second layer of foundation establishment,
And, based on the cultivation level progression in the Immortal Cultivation World, they should be able to reach the middle stage of Foundation Establishment in more than ten years.
This pace was not considered slow.
The average lifespan of Foundation Establishment cultivators is about 200 years, and progressing to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment within ten years was a sign of high talent,
A lot of people or demon beasts got stuck at the beginning of Foundation Establishment and never made any further progress.
Zhao Chengyu before his treatment, for example, was just like that.
Luckily for Zhao Chengyu, after receiving daily treatments from Chen Yi for the past few years, his meridians have improved,
His stagnant cultivation level right after the Foundation Establishment had seen some modest progress again.
