Thankfully, he had the privilege of an accelerated cultivation speed. Otherwise, it would’ve taken him seven or eight years, if not more, to achieve the great perfection of the tenth level.
After arriving at Tian Yun Xian City, Lin Yi went straight to the place to rent a cultivation cave mansion. This was one of the few places in the Inner Sect that did not require merit points, although the price of the spirit stones was quite high.
A cave mansion that could satisfy the early foundation building cultivator’s cultivation required three hundred Spirit Stones per day. The ten acres of Yuan Ling Grass that he’d spent a hard year cultivating wouldn’t be enough for even a month’s cultivation here.
If in Qing Yun City, cultivators outside of the Liu Yun Sect renting the same cave mansion would have to pay at least four to five hundred Spirit Stones per day.
Because of the rich concentration of spiritual energy required for the
Foundation Building Realm, which was qualitatively different from the Qi
Refinement phase, his cultivation was barely satisfactory in his Jin Qiao Peak
Cave Mansion, similar to the his situation at the tenth level of Qi Refinement.
If he insisted on cultivating in the old cave mansion after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment, it would be twice the effort for half the result.
Lin Yi prepaid the fee for eight days and agreed with the cultivator in charge of renting the cave mansion on the principle of refund for fewer days and supplement for more days.
After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment, he needed to consolidate his cultivation. To save costs, he had accumulated nearly six days’ worth of enlightenment opportunity before coming here.
Then, with his token in hand, he entered the cultivation cave mansion. The Tian Yun Xian City was built on four peaks, and the cultivation cave mansion was constructed on one of them, drawing on the aura of the spiritual vein.
As soon as Lin Yi used the token to open the cave mansion and entered, he found himself almost intoxicated by the incredibly rich aura.
The spiritual aura here, compared with that in the Jin Qiao Peak Cave Mansion, was a world of difference, enough to cause a state akin to oxygen intoxication.
Zhi Ling, who had emerged from the pocket, also swayed dizzily as she walked, almost stumbling and falling.
Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh. After awakening her bloodline, Zhi Ling could also sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and would naturally enter a similar intoxicated state.
The door of the cave mansion closed automatically. Lin Yi slowly exhaled, recovered from the drunken spirit state, and began his breakthrough cultivation.
While renting the Cave Mansion, he saw several cultivators who had perfected the ninth level of Qi refining queuing up to come in, hoping to borrow this rich aura to break through the foundation.
Some of these cultivators seemed to be regulars here and had gotten familiar with other cultivators in charge of renting cave mansions, thus highlighting the difficulty of a breakthrough at the Foundation Establishment.
Zhi Ling, imitating him, was sitting on the ground, absorbing the spiritual energy here.
Lin Yi didn’t rush to use his enlightenment opportunity, but first got used to the dense aura here, continued to push against the bottleneck, and accumulated more opportunities for enlightenment.
With the help of the dense spiritual energy, his cultivation speed increased significantly. The quality of the spiritual energy here was far superior to that of the Jin Qiao Peak Cave Mansion.
When he hit the Dantian, he also got a considerable boost, causing his Dantian to shake constantly. But the bottleneck stubbornly persisted.
As dawn was breaking on the first day, and the first day of accumulated enlightenment opportunity was about to expire, he put on the [Grain Wisdom from One’s Mistakes] title and started using the accumulated enlightenment opportunity of six days.
His mind was flooded with many epiphanies. Lin Yi slowly absorbed and digested them. Then he turned all these realizations into momentum for his breakthrough, and continued to attack the Dantian.
Even after he’d digested all the enlightenment, he wasn’t able to break through. However, he did feel that the bottleneck was significantly loosened, and he was probably just one step away from the breakthrough.
He continued his cultivation, attacking the bottleneck again and again, accumulating enlightenment opportunities, and after six days, he used them again.
Feeling the influx of eureka moments, Lin Yi slowly closed his eyes and embarked on his final breakthrough. He did not enter Little Luck state, as he felt that the accumulated enlightenment opportunity was enough for him to break through the bottleneck.
The moment he had finished digesting all the enlightenment, he concentrated all the nearly liquid spiritual energy of his body and suddenly struck at the Dantian.
The bottleneck, which had been constantly loosening, shattered instantly under this attack, and a new Dantian slowly began to form.
Lin Yi felt a sudden jolt through his body as if his spirit had been elevated.
Seeing the formation of a new Dantian inside his body, a smile of pleasure appeared on his face. He had finally broken through the Foundation Establishment and become a genuine cultivator.
Having read the experiences of his seniors, he knew that he couldn’t cultivate while his new Dantian was forming. All he could do was quietly wait for his new Dantian to develop.
However, at that moment, the Creation Method within his body started to automatically circulate, and the spiritual energy within his entire body gathered into a cloud of spiritual energy above his Dantian.
The surrounding spiritual energy also surged into his body like it was out of its mind, merging into this cloud.
This cloud of spiritual energy kept shrinking and spinning inwardly, as if it
was condensing something.
With Divine Consciousness In-sight, Lin Yi watched this scene with a look of
astonishment on his face. Such a situation hadn’t occurred in the experiences
of predecessors who had broken through the foundation.
Generally, after breaking through the foundation, they would just wait for the creation of a new Dantian. Then, operating cultivation power, they could turn all the spiritual energy into a liquid state – a spiritual sea – in the Dantian.
It was unexpected that the Creation Method was now automatically operating, gathering the spiritual energy into a cloud above the Dantian.
Just as the Creation Method rotated automatically and the surrounding spiritual energy madly surged into his body, some phenomena appeared in the outdoors as well.
The surrounding spiritual energy crazily gathered upon the peak like a cyclone funnel, continually surging into the cultivation cave mansion below.
This situation left those around them with astonishment on their faces. The cultivators in Tian Yun City were all rushing over.
However, due to the extremely high number of disciples cultivating within the cave mansion at this moment, even the person in charge of the cave mansion was unable to ascertain which disciple had triggered this phenomenon.
At this moment, Lin Yi immersed himself entirely into the inward vision. This huge cloud of spiritual energy continually compressed and rotated inward, becoming smaller and smaller.
In the end, all the spiritual energy aggregated into a drop of golden-colored liquid, slowly dripping into the still gradually forming Dantian.
After this drop of golden liquid entered the Dantian, it instantly merged with the newly formed Dantian, leaving a faint golden hue in the newly created Dantian.
Looking at the drop of golden liquid, Lin Yi suddenly recalled that the Golden Core also seemed to be of golden color, seemingly condensing the ocean of spiritual energy in the Dantian into a Golden Core.
He didn’t know what type of benefits this drop of golden liquid would bring to the newly formed Dantian.
As for the Creation Method, really, cultivation to whatever realm and whatever changes occur all depend on one’s destiny. It truly is an extraordinary cultivation technique.
The condition of extravagantly absorbing spiritual energy stopped when the golden liquid was formed, and the strange phenomenon of spiritual energy converging outside the cave mansion instantly disappeared.
The people around, however, didn’t leave. They were all waiting, but they were also filled with doubt. It seemed they hadn’t felt any aura of someone breaking through the foundation, so how could such a phenomenon occur?
Generally, when breaking through the foundation and forming the early stages of the Dao, there would surely be an eruption of aura which cannot be concealed.
Unless one had deployed a high-level formation to conceal the aura, there naturally wouldn’t be such a formation in this cultivation mansion.
Moreover, many cultivators wouldn’t have bothered if others knew that they had broken through the foundation; they absolutely wouldn’t deploy a formation.
After absorbing the drop of golden liquid, the speed of Dantian creation greatly accelerated. After a while, the new Dantian was successfully created. Surprisingly, the Dantian wall was faintly gold in color. Is this the transformation from a thatched cottage to a house of gold?
Lin Yi didn’t ponder over this for long. Now that the new Dantian had successfully formed, he had truly become a foundation building cultivator, and he needed to replenish the spiritual energy for the empty Dantian.
At this moment, a pop-up window appeared before his eyes, “The host diligently cultivates and successfully builds the foundation, winning a title slot and a set of spare title slots.”
Looking at the content in the pop-up window, Lin Yi showed a happy expression on his face. As expected, after breaking through the major realm, he really earned a new title slot, and there was also a backup title slot, too.
In this way, he wouldn’t have to waste time switching titles during battle. When he wants to escape, he can directly switch to a set of speed-increasing titles. It’s both convenient and quick.
Lin Yi settled his emotions and began to cultivate the Creation Skill, replenishing the spiritual power.
The instant he succeeded in the breakthrough, the Creation Method of the foundation building realm that he had learned and sealed at the Scripture Palace was immediately unsealed, letting him know the path of cultivation at the foundation building realm.
The spiritual energy absorbed into his body, after being refined and fused with the Dantian, had already completely changed from a gaseous state to a liquid state. It couldn’t be called spiritual energy anymore but spiritual liquid..
