Chapter 256: Chapter 156 Outer Demonstration of Foundation Establishment Breakthrough_l

In the time that followed, Lin Yi, in his spare time from farming and alchemy, continued his plan to become stronger through attending lectures. Of course, he did not redeem the courses taught by Hua Yang and Wan Jun of the Golden Core Lineage once again.

However, after a few months had passed and the storm had subsided, he resumed attending the lectures taught by these two from the Golden Core Lineage.

After all, the ‘wool’ of these two peak lineage Foundation Building cultivators was something he could shear without feeling any guilt.

More than a year later, he achieved Three Complete Levels by relying on his practice during the time of lectures and leisure. Then, with the help of [Grain

Wisdom from One’s Mistakes], he spent a month’s time and successfully broke through to the Foundation Building Fourth Layer, thus becoming a Mid-stage Foundation Building cultivator.

Fortunately, the realm-concealing effect of [Elite Survivor] somehow concealed his Qi Refining Tenth Layer, which made his current cultivation level still seem like Complete Ninth Stage of Qi Refining.

In this way, he did not have to use up another title slot and could also equip the [Junior Survivor] title.

After reaching the Mid-stage Foundation Building, Lin Yi conducted some experiments through the lectures. As he had hypothesized before, with the

[Slacker] title not being upgraded, after reaching the Mid-stage Foundation Building, he would need to listen to lectures for six hours in order to increase his cultivation level by one point.

However, this was still less time consuming than cultivating in the Cave Mansion to increase his cultivation level by one point.

With the help of the [Slacker] title, Lin Yi’s current realm had already surpassed that of Elder Su Qi Hong of the Affairs Hall, who had established his foundation earlier than Lin Yi.

This elder’s current realm had only been elevated to the Foundation Building Second Level, putting Lin Yi two whole realms above him.

According to his plan of increasing his cultivation level by one point every two to three days, Lin Yi decided to spend more time on alchemy.

Although Elder Dan God had given him eight vears. that was the maximum

limit. The purpose of the test was to choose the most deserving successor.

If he finishes the test faster, he might get the full inheritance of Dan God. But if he just barely passed the test in eight years, even if he gets the inheritance of Dan God, he probably won’t be able to get the ownership of the Dan God Secret Realm.

Therefore, Lin Yi’s plan was to complete the Golden Elixir test within six to seven years, and he absolutely couldn’t let it go into the eighth year.

Now that more than two years had passed since he left the Secret Realm, he had just over four years left. According to his cultivation improvement plan, by then, he should have broken through the Foundation Building Fifth Layer, making his external cultivation level reach the Foundation Building First Layer.

The [Skilled Alchemist] title had also been upgraded to Second Tier, and he was still over a hundred experience points short of leveling up to the Third Level.

His Intermediate Alchemy Skills had improved from proficiency to the Mastery level. In the remaining four plus years, he would have to advance from Mastery to Grand Perfection, and then from there to Grandmaster, and finally reach the Great Perfection, thereby breaking through to the High Level entry point.

If he was able to gain one skill experience point for successfully refining a pill, then he would need 300 skill points for Mastery, 400 skill points for Grand Perfection, and 1000 skill points to upgrade from Grandmaster to Great Perfection.

So, the total skill points he needed to earn was 1700.

With this calculation, he needed to refine pills 1700 times. According to one refinement per day, excluding the time for attending classes and looking after the Spiritual Field, under normal circumstances, he would need at least over five years.

Fortunately, he had the help of the [Training Expert] title. This title had now been upgraded to the Second Tier, increasing the speed of Spell and Skills improvement by 60%.

Therefore, for every two times he successfully refines a pill, he would gain an additional 1.2 experience points. This meant he wouldn’t need over five years, but just over three years to complete his goal.

In addition, there was also the pill refining speed bonus from the [Skilled Alchemist] title, which could reduce his pill refining time.

After calculating the time, Lin Yi could not help but smile bitterly. This test for the inheritance of the Dan God was not something a normal person could accomplish. Even with the help of his titles, he could barely finish it in six to seven years.

If he was even slightly lazy during this period, he might not have the strength

to refine the Golden Elixir in eight years.

For those cultivators without titles, perhaps only alchemy talents like Elder Dan God could complete the task.

After Lin Yi made his cultivation level appear as Nine Complete Levels, he received encouragement from his senior brothers and sisters. They explained in detail some information about breaking through to Foundation Building, advising him not to rush and take his time.

Under normal circumstances, breaking through to Foundation Building within three to five years after reaching the Complete Qi Refining stage is considered normal. Since he had lower-grade spiritual roots, he should be even more patient and accumulate gradually.

Some senior brothers and sisters suggested that he continue cultivating for a year or two before attempting to break through using the Foundation Building Pill.

Dan Hall Master, Senior Sister Qi Jing Yu, even said that he should not worry about the Foundation Building Pill. Dan Hall may not be able to afford a lot of Supreme-grade Foundation Building Pills, but providing several dozen Top-grade Foundation Building Pills was not an issue.

Even if one had lower-grade spiritual roots and poor understanding, they could still break through by eating Foundation Building Pills like candy.

Lin Yi thanked these senior brothers and sisters and said he wouldn’t rush to break through all at once. He would first stabilize his Complete Ninth Stage of Qi Refining and then try to break through gradually.

As for the poor comprehension due to the lower-grade spiritual roots, maybe that was true before. However, after obtaining the [Grain Wisdom from One’s Mistakes] title, he has had many opportunities for enlightenment.

It seemed that he had only gained opportunities for enlightenment without increasing wisdom, but he felt that his mind was much sharper than when he had just arrived in the Cultivation World, thanks to the continuous use of these opportunities for enlightenment..
