Chapter 66 Secluded Foundation Building
"Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment? Three more months?"
Fan Jingmei stared at Luo Qing with wide, astonished eyes.
After all, with Luo Qing's current cultivation level, even if he had no shortage of spiritual energy and various first-tier pills, it would still take him at least ten years of arduous cultivation to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Right now, the spiritual energy in this Golden Sun Secret Realm is extremely hot and dry, so even using it to restore one's magical power requires extreme caution.
If you're not careful, you can easily burn your meridians.
Under these conditions, you're telling me it will take three months to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage?
"What? You don't believe me? Looks like your chest really doesn't hurt anymore."
Luo Qing appeared casual at the moment, but was actually a little nervous inside.
Because if Fan Jingmei doesn't agree, he still has to start building his foundation immediately, but three months is too long, and that would be too reliant on luck!
As for whether he could successfully establish his foundation here, Luo Qing never doubted it.
After all, he was learning by doing, not just acting on a whim.
Clearly, Luo Qing's reliance was on those eleven Foundation Establishment Pills.
Under normal circumstances, Foundation Establishment Pills can only be used to break through realms, not for cultivation.
This is because it is a second-tier pill, and among second-tier pills, it is one of the more potent ones.
The reason why Qi Refining cultivators have a certain probability of dying when attempting to break through to Foundation Establishment is largely because these cultivators do not properly guide the medicinal power of the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Cultivation requires a higher degree of control over spiritual energy than breaking through realms, so for a normal cultivator to use Foundation Establishment Pills would be tantamount to suicide.
Although Luo Qing didn't have the foundation of a Foundation Establishment cultivator like Han Laomo in terms of meridians and primordial spirit, the Iron Cauldron Golden Body Technique he cultivated could even achieve better results.
One month of the three-month foundation-building period was reserved by Luo Qing specifically for the completion of the first level of his Iron Cauldron Golden Body Technique!
"Snapped!"
Fan Jingmei slapped away his large, unruly hand, her delicate brows furrowed as she pondered.
It was indeed very unlikely that she could survive in this perilous secret realm on her own.
After hesitating for a moment, she suddenly looked up at Luo Qing, her tone resolute:
"Alright, I will protect you for three months, not a single day more!"
"Don't worry, you won't be disappointed."
The huge weight that had been hanging over Luo Qing's heart lifted with a thud, and he gave the instructions:
"The cave entrance is too conspicuous; you'd better make some preparations. Also, keep these three spirit stones; you'll need them to restore your mana."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out three lustrous mid-grade spirit stones and handed them over.
"You actually have mid-grade spirit stones, and you even produced three of them at once!"
Fan Jingmei was immediately taken aback by Luo Qing's generous spending.
After all, mid-grade spirit stones are generally only found in the hands of Core Formation cultivators.
If her master were willing to bestow a piece upon her, that would already be a generous gift!
"It's just a stroke of luck here," Luo Qing said with a faint smile. "If you're interested, I'll tell you how to obtain it once I've successfully established my foundation."
Although they had been intimate and shared common interests, Luo Qing was not entirely at ease with Fan Jingmei, which is why she deliberately treated her with such high benefits.
"Hmph! Only three months!"
Fan Jingmei may have misunderstood, and immediately held up three fingers to emphasize.
Afterwards, Luo Qing stopped arguing with him and went alone to the depths of the cave, where he summoned the Body Forging Cauldron.
Then, he patted the storage bag at his waist, and five jade bottles of different colors flew out and hovered above the mouth of the cauldron.
The stopper popped open automatically, and thick demon blood poured down, flowing into the cauldron and instantly stirring up powerful spiritual energy of the five elements, which swirled and lingered!
"Mengbao, what is my current pure Yang attribute?"
While waiting, Luo Qing made a final confirmation.
"Master's current Pure Yang level is 6, an increase of 3 points! Just enough to withstand the next stage of external cultivation!"
Everything in the world is interdependent, with both yin and yang; every advantage has its disadvantage.
The external cultivation method centered on the Five Elements Demon Blood can rapidly improve Luo Qing's Iron Cauldron Golden Body Technique, but it also carries the danger of causing Luo Qing to become a demon.
Therefore, Luo Qing must ensure that he has enough pure Yang energy before he can begin cultivation.
Needless to say, the three points of pure yang that Luo Qing gained were from the primordial yin offered by Fan Jingmei!
That's why Luo Qing said those words to this woman.
Once the demon blood in the bottle had been completely poured out, Luo Qing did not hesitate to take off all her robes and leap into the Five Elements Demon Blood.
The familiar pain immediately struck, but after experiencing so many hardships today, Luo Qing realized that as long as he could improve his strength, enduring some pain was nothing.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he roared inwardly: Miaoyin Sect, I, Luo Qing, will remember this deadly grudge!
......
Time passed day by day, and more than a month had passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, the cave where Luo Qing was located remained calm and peaceful, with only a low hum emanating from the Body Forging Cauldron. However, the other cultivators from the Extreme Yin Island in the secret realm were in a much worse state.
They not only had to deal with the sudden attacks of various demons lurking in the Golden Sun Fire Pool, but also had to guard against the hunting by the Foundation Establishment cultivators of Crimson Fire Island.
Crimson Fire Island already had a numerical advantage, and now it had an even greater home-field advantage. If any Foundation Establishment cultivator from Extreme Yin Island was targeted, nine out of ten would be doomed.
So in just one month, apart from Liu Yueru who escaped by virtue of her strength, Nie Shan and Luo Qing have been missing without a trace, and all the other cultivators of Jiyin Island have perished.
Their heads all fell into the hands of the square-faced middle-aged man who was the leader of the Foundation Establishment cultivators on Crimson Fire Island.
"Senior Brother, compared to last time, we found far fewer thousand-year-old medicinal herbs this time," a disciple reported, bowing.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Fengyun showed no sign of worry. He spoke calmly:
"Don't worry, it's common knowledge in the sect that the Golden Sun Secret Realm is gradually weakening, and no one will punish you or me for it."
Moreover, we can also take advantage of the evil practices of those on Whale Corpse Island this time.
"Senior Brother, speaking of those evil cultivators, that demoness hasn't shown her face for quite some time."
A junior disciple, as thin as a monkey, stepped forward and solemnly warned, "That's a big fish; we can't afford to lose it!"
"Hmph, that witch is indeed clever. She only had to be surrounded once before she realized that we used the Golden Sun Dog to find her trail."
But that's no big deal; the spirit stones she carries will eventually run out.
As long as she absorbs the spirit stones condensed by the fire demons again, she will be imbued with the golden yang fire energy. The more she absorbs, the heavier her aura becomes.
Even if she has some means to conceal her presence, she won't be able to escape the Golden Sun Dog's detection!
When Liu Yueru was mentioned, a hint of apprehension flashed in Zhao Fengyun's eyes.
This woman not only possesses profound cultivation and powerful magic, but also carries many treasures.
On that day, the three of them surrounded the woman, but she not only escaped, but one of them was almost killed by her using Corpse Fire Thunder.
Zhao Fengyun said he wasn't in a hurry, but in reality, he wanted to take advantage of the environment of the Golden Sun Secret Realm to wear Liu Yueru down.
