NOVEL WEB Chapter 155: Foundation Establishment at the Age of Sixty_3
Lastly, the most critical aspect of Foundation Establishment,
is the transformation of Mana from gas to liquid.
Originally, this was the simplest step for all cultivators,
The standard for the Foundation Establishment Period only required the conversion of all the internal Mana to liquid form.
However, not all Foundation Building is the same, the nature of Mana in different people's bodies varies greatly,
Theoretically, the more the total amount of Mana and the higher the density of Mana, the easier it is to liquefy,
and during the breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, most cultivators will have a Foundation Establishment Pill,
This provides a large amount of Mana, enabling the Mana within the cultivator's body to reach its peak state, thus making it easier to liquefy.
As for the amount of liquefied Mana, even if only a drop of liquid Mana appears in the Dantian, they are also considered a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Chen Yi waited until now to establish his foundation because he has extremely strict requirements for his own Mana.
Chen Yi is different from others, the Mana he cultivates carries Daoist rhymes and aligns with the Great Path,
If he does not lay down a correct and pure Mana foundation during Foundation Building, it is likely that problems will arise when he reaches a certain level in the future.
Moreover, during the Qi Refining Period, Chen Yi had enough of the weak power of Turtle Breath Mana, and its ineffectiveness in combat,
Chen Yi considered all these issues and wanted to solve them as much as possible during his Foundation Establishment,
Therefore, Chen Yi's Foundation Establishment Pill is made from the Cold Jade Turtle Snake, which aligns with the properties of the Martial Method Chen Yi primarily cultivates,
At the same time, Chen Yi added his Turtle Breath Daoist rhymes to the pill during its refinement,
The aim was to improve its level to make it more compatible with Chen Yi's Mana properties,
Using it in this way, almost without any obstruction, the pill is expected to merge with Chen Yi's internal Mana, and even subtly enhance the purity of Chen Yi's Mana,
As for power, Chen Yi prepared a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill this time, containing a terrifying amount of energy,
Ordinary Qi Refining Cultivators dare not use it because their bodies cannot withstand such energy,
But Chen Yi, with the Vajra Sutra as his foundation, has a very strong body, and his meridians have become extremely resilient due to the nourishment of the Turtle Breath Mana over the years,
Although he felt somewhat bloated absorbing this Mana, it wasn't difficult.
Boom!
Chen Yi breathed according to the Turtle Breath Calming Technique, becoming even more stable at the crucial moment.
This perfectly reflects the mentality of practicing the Turtle Breath Calming Technique.
The second-tier Spiritual Veins seemed to sense something, as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to stir madly, slowly gathering in Chen Yi's direction.
Gradually,
the Mana inside Chen Yi's body became extremely viscous from its gaseous state.
Drip, drip,
After an unknown period, droplets of liquid Mana began to accumulate in Chen Yi's Dantian.
A thought arises, stirring the wind and clouds.
From this moment on, with the small droplet in Chen Yi's Dantian as the center, the countless spiritual liquids in Chen Yi's meridians, as if having found a direction, began to converge towards the Dantian,
The speed is much slower than that of normal people breaking through to Foundation Establishment,
But each droplet of Mana is far superior in quality to that of normal Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Just like dripping water wears away a stone, although it is slow, it is very powerful.
At this time, outsiders saw the spiritual energy stirring above Chen Yi's Cave Mansion,
From small to large, gradually forming a Spiritual Energy Vortex,
Chen Yi's Foundation Establishment speed is quite slow,
"Someone is establishing their foundation? It looks like their Mana quality is rather ordinary, this speed, tsk tsk, isn't quite up to par."
Having seen many people establish their foundation, experienced people can tell that the cultivator currently attempting to establish their foundation is rather lackluster.
For the cultivators located in the core Cave Mansion area of Wangyue City, such a sight was a common occurrence.
Wangyue City, with its Third Tier spiritual veins, could allow an outside cultivator to attempt to achieve a pseudo-core. If one had a good relationship with Elder Yang's Family, it wouldn't be a problem for him to lend you his Daoist Field to attempt to refine a True Core.
Attempts like this at establishing foundation occur every one or two years, although most end in failure.
Chen Yi, on the other hand, seemed like the kind to fail, simply unremarkable.
Situated on the meditation mat at the entrance of the cave mansion, Song Chengcheng hadn't moved in two weeks,
Underneath a charming figure and exquisite facial contortions, Song Chengcheng looked worriedly up at the state of spiritual energy above Chen Yi's cave mansion, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
This time, Chen Yi's Foundation Establishment has been hampered,
In particular, Song Chengcheng's fellow disciple Tan Feng was the one least hoping for Chen Yi's Foundation Establishment success,
Song Chengcheng feared he might trip Chen Yi up in secret while Chen Yi was in the middle of Foundation Establishment,
So, she was here on guard duty.
Moreover, if Chen Yi failed to establish his foundation in his fifties, the failure rate would be extremely high. Even though he is a physician, a healer cannot heal himself,
Song Chengcheng had prepared healing medicines to save Chen Yi's life at any moment,
Having known each other for 40 years, Song Chengcheng recently harbored ambiguous feelings for Chen Yi,
She is the one who least hopes for Chen Yi's death,
Even if Chen Yi fails in his Foundation Establishment, she still hopes to save his life, it would be good for them to continue their relationship in their remaining years.
"How is it?"
When it came to the crucial moment, Zhao Chengyu and Wang Tengfei also put down their work and rushed over here to check the situation,
To see if there was anything they could do to help.
Song Chengcheng remained silent, her beautiful eyes revealing a bit of hope underneath all the worry.
The two had also gone through Foundation Establishment. Feeling the fluctuations of the spiritual energy in the air, they knew that this was a crucial moment for Chen Yi,
"This spiritual energy stirring, it seems a bit weak."
Wang Teng muttered to himself.
Though the speed at which Chen Yi was absorbing spiritual energy was slow, he was stable,
And consistently so.
Usually, the ones who fail in their Foundation Establishment would have reached this stage, absorbing half a day's worth of spiritual energy, bearing no significant change within their body, and it would be counted as labour lost.
However, they had waited almost an entire day, only to discover that the spiritual energy vortex was still there,
And was growing in strength,
The worry on their faces faded away, replaced by surprise.
"Brother Chen really is tenacious, to still have such a solid base at this point, and even increased the speed at which he's absorbing spiritual energy,
Perhaps Brother Chen, may have a chance this time?"
Zhao Chengyu said, sounding a bit unsure.
Song Chengcheng's furrowed brow had finally smoothed, her beautiful eyes staring intently at the gradually enlarging spiritual energy vortex, deep in thought.
If everything prior was part of the preparation, then by now, for Chen Yi to stir up such a large vortex of spiritual energy from heaven and Earth, it indicated that he had the preliminary conditions for Foundation Establishment. Even though the quality of the Foundation Establishment would be relatively low, there was still a chance of success.
Several hours passed in this manner,
The vortex of spiritual energy from heaven and Earth becoming larger and larger, the three of them were tense, but their eyes were no longer filled with worry, instead full of hope.
Suddenly!
With a thunderous roar, suddenly,
Chen Yi's cave mansion, like a machine that had been preheated all day, was suddenly activated, roaring,
The spiritual energy from heaven and Earth began to rush towards Chen Yi's cave mansion,
The vortex also suddenly expanded from several feet to over ten feet in radius, and its rotation speed had more than doubled!
At this moment,
Song Chengcheng's beautiful eyes radiated light, her usually cold facial expressions now filled with surprise!
