Chen Mobai, who disappeared back to Crimson Mountain immediately after leaving the Divine Wood Sect, had again attended two months of classes. Although it seemed like he won the Sect Tournament effortlessly, every drop of Liquid Spiritual Power he used represented his full effort.
If it hadn’t been for his fundamental understanding of the Divine Manipulation Technique, and his Divine Sense being stronger than that of a regular Qi
Cultivation Level 9 practitioner, he probably wouldn’t have been able to control
the power of the Rainbow Sword Qi.
With Spirit Stones in hand, his depleted Spiritual Power recovered swiftly.
However, the recovery of his Divine Sense took some time.
Opportunely, during these two months, Chen Mobai read all sixteen volumes of
E Yun’s Foundation Establishment insights from the Everlasting Life Method, as well as some Foundation Establishment books on Wood Attribute
Cultivation Techniques from the Daoist Academy.
Only after he fully understood all of it, did he call the Academy’s teacher to ask for leave, to apply for Foundation Establishment.
“Didn’t you just try it at the end of last year?
Che Yucheng asked in surprise when he heard.
At that time, Chen Mobai had requested his own set of Foundation
Establishment Three Treasures and exchanged two portions of Profound Fire Spirit Liquid with his student points. The final result was that he completed the first step, “Change Tendons and Wash Marrow,” but was stuck at the brink of the second step, “Condensing Qi into Liquid.
“I woke up this morning with a feeling of serendipity, a deep sense of mystery.
I believe this is the perfect time for my Foundation Establishment.”
Chen Mobai had to make up an excuse because he certainly wouldn’t say that he immersed himself surreptitiously in a sect in a different world for over three years and strenuously obtained an extremely precious Foundation Building Pill.
“Alright then, I’ll approve your leave. If you succeed in Foundation
Establishment, all will be fine. But if you fail again, you can’t miss a single one of this year’s 10 credits. Otherwise, don’t blame me for punishing you.” Che Yucheng couldn’t refute Chen Mobai’s metaphysical inspiration. When cultivators have this kind of feeling when breaking through a realm, they often succeed.
But conventionally, it’s best to attempt Foundation Establishment again only a
year after a failed attempt.
However, with the Foundation Establishment Pill in hand, Chen Mobai felt that
he truly could succeed this time.
This wasn’t a profound feeling.
But it was based on scientific evidence.
In the lobby of the Cultivation Room Building No.9, two girls in school
uniforms sat.
They were students working there part-time. Chen Mobai recognized one of the short-haired girls, who seemed to be a year senior to him, so fairly a school senior. The other long-haired girl looked somewhat unfamiliar, probably a freshman who had just enrolled this year.
Chen Mobai handed his student card to the younger girl who proactively approached. She had a round face and was smiling.
“Hello, senior. Are you here to book a room?”
“Yes, a Rank-? High-Grade Spiritual Vein room.”
Upon hearing this, the girl who was processing the paperwork showed a surprised look, and turned to look at her senior.
“Is it a Rank-3 High-Grade?”
The senior who was originally playing with her phone, took the student card and confirmed. This is the highest rank of Spiritual Vein that a student can apply for, which requires a teacher’s signature from the Academy.
“Correct.”
Chen Mobai nodded, showing them the photo of the document sent to him by
Che Yucheng on his phone.
Upon seeing the reason for application on the document: Foundation
Establishment.
The short-haired senior looked dumbfounded as she examined this ordinarily handsome junior student of hers.
“You’re just in the fourth year, yet you have already cultivated to the brink.”
“I was lucky to have a comprehension.”
Chen Mobai didn’t say much. Under the admiring eyes of the junior student, he opted for an unlimited time renewal for a Rank-3 High-Grade Spiritual Vein room.
In other words, as long as he remains within the Cultivation Room and the Good Deed Points in his student card hadn’t been completely deducted, he can cultivate indefinitely.
“Please keep your key, senior.”
After inspecting the documents, the short-haired senior handed the matter back to the junior student. Chen Mobai nodded and accepted it.
Entering his room, he sat on his cushion, took out his phone, and opened the Foundation Establishment App.
[Foundation Establishment Success Rate: 31%!]
Chen Mobai had already used this app while he was in the Tianhe Realm, and
the results had already come out.
He clicked on the small arrow to pull the screen down and view the detailed calculation results.
[Perfection reached at the Ninth Level of Qi Cultivation, completed Change Tendons and Wash Marrow, a small part of Condensing Qi into Liquid accomplished, Foundation Establishment Success Rate increased by 16%] [Reached critical state of Cultivation Technique training, no danger if Foundation Establishment fails, good mental state, Foundation Establishment Success Rate increased by 1%]
[Novice at Divine Manipulation Technique, Divine Sense has been trained, Foundation Establishment Success Rate increased by 5%]
[Rank-3 Superior Spiritual Vein, Foundation Establishment Success Rate increased by 9°/°]
He did not add in the Foundation Building Pill, because the formulation of this pill is prohibited in the Daoist Sects, adding it might draw the attention of the app’s developers.
However, according to statistics from Tianhe Realm, a single Foundation Building Pill has a 30% chance of success.
His Demonic Beast Foundation Building Pill was only 80% as potent as a traditional Foundation Building Pill, he calculated it would give an additional 24%.
Adding it all up, his Foundation Establishment Success Rate was 55%-
It was enough.
Although Chen Mobai is usually cautious, he becomes extremely decisive at critical moments.
Even though he knew that the toxins inside this Foundation Building Pill exceeded the acceptable limit, as long as he could successfully establish his foundation, he would have enough time to slowly neutralize it.
He took out the storage pouch from his bag, pouring the Foundation Building
Pill into his palm.
Gazing at the pill that appeared as red as blood jade.
His eyes fiercely stared, gulping down the valuable Spiritual Medicine he had spent over three years to earn.
As the pill slid down his throat, a strong surge of medicinal power exploded out.
However, since Chen Mobai had already completed the Change Tendons and Wash Marrow process, his body was able to perfectly accommodate the powerful medicinal surge. It flowed through his twelve primary meridians across his organs and bones where, finding no areas left to bolster, the medicinal power transformed into a surging heat wave that directly rushed into the Qi Sea of his Dantian.
If he had not completed the Change Tendons and Wash Marrow process to consume some of the medicinal force of the Foundation Building Pill, Chen Mobai’s Spiritual Power Vortex would have been unable to bear such a sweeping rush of energy.
Sweat trickled down from his forehead as he activated his Divine Manipulation Technique.
While operating his Divine Sense, Chen Mobai repeatedly activated the tenth level mental method of the Longevity Sutra, while in his mind, he was recalling the enlightenment on Foundation Establishment that he had read before. Such a situation had been encountered by others before, those with Heavenly Spiritual Roots or even Innate Taoist Bodies naturally complete Change Tendons and Wash Marrow.
When faced with a powerful medicinal force, one needs to only let the part that can be refined enter the Dantian, letting the rest circulate slowly in the meridians, organs, and bone marrow, gradually increasing the body’s strength while buying time.
The Spiritual Power Vortex started spinning. A clear, radiant light emerged on Chen Mobai’s face. The dense third-grade superior Spiritual Energy transformed into a cloud of mist and entered his orifices, neutralizing the medicinal power of the Foundation Building Pill. Aided by the Longevity Spiritual Power, it began to condense into the third droplet of Liquid Spiritual Power, then the fourth droplet, the fifth droplet…
He soon condensed the ten droplets of Longevity Spiritual Power required for Foundation Establishment.
At this point, only 70% of the medicinal power of the Foundation Building Pill had been used, however Chen Mobai dared not continue the conversion.
He felt a heavy sensation in his Dantian’s Qi Sea, indicating he had reached his current limit.
Only one final step remained.
With a rush of spirit, the remaining 30% of the medicinal power transformed into a warm stream that surged into the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Palace. With a boom!
A deafening sound like muffled thunder echoed in his mind!
Chen Mobai felt his Divine Sense being abruptly pushed beyond his Tianding!
This was his Divine Sense leaving his body!
