Within his cave mansion on Jin Xiu Peak, Lin Yi had successfully made a breakthrough to the Foundation Building Fifth Layer, smoothly utilizing the repeated opportunities for enlightenment under the “Grain Wisdom from One’s Mistakes” title.
Now, since his title “Elite Survivor” hasn’t been upgraded yet, under the effect of +4 Realm Concealment, his apparent cultivation level can now manifest as the Foundation Building First Layer.
When he had been cultivating in his mansion in Tian Yun Xian City, the cultivation process caused his Dantian to be reconstructed under the influence of the Creation Method, undergoing change and crazily absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy, resulting in an unusual phenomenon.
However, after his successful breakthrough, there was no trace of his successful Foundation Establishment. The realm concealment effect of the title “Path of Survivor” completely hid all signs of it.
Now, his manifested cultivation level has reached Foundation Building which in theory, should leak out the aura of mild accomplishment in the Great Dao.
After breaking through to the Foundation Building Fifth Layer, before Lin Yi had a chance to stabilize his cultivation, a pop-up window appeared before his eyes.
Seeing the content inside, he couldn’t help but smile. Just as he had speculated, breakthroughs in cultivation after years of practice were indeed a test for a cultivator.
“The host has diligently attended classes and studied hard, breaking through the realm successfully with good results. Hence, the title [Slacker] has been upgraded to [Student].”
Seeing the upgraded title, Lin Yi couldn’t help but shake his head and smile. So, a ‘student; a commoner among students? If a ‘slacker’ is the scum of the student population, existing at the very bottom, then a ‘student’ should be someone ordinary and unremarkable in the school, with mediocre grades.
He looked at the effects of the new title, and it was exactly the same as before, allowing him to attain a certain amount of cultivation from the speaker. After breaking through the Foundation Building Fourth Layer and reaching the middle stage, the effect of the [Slacker] title had greatly reduced. Previously, he could increase his cultivation by one point by listening to an hour’s worth of classes.
But now, he could only gain one point by listening to three hours’ worth of classes. He wondered what the effect of the [Student] title would be. If it could return to granting one point of cultivation for an hour of classes, he would be satisfied.
After obtaining the new learning title, the [Slacker] title didn’t disappear. Thus, he could choose different learning titles based on the speaker’s cultivation realm, reducing potential risks.
Afterward, Lin Yi consolidated his cultivation at the Foundation Building Fifth Layer and then leisurely steps out of his cave mansion, emanating the aura of a foundation-building cultivator.
He felt numerous presences outside his protective array, and so he opened the array and quickly stepped out.
Outside the array, he saw some of his senior brothers and sisters standing there, seemingly waiting for him for quite a while.
“Junior brother, congratulations on your breakthrough. Now you’re a foundation building cultivator too, truly embarking on the path of cultivation,” Zhou Yun Feng was the first to congratulate him with a smiling face.
He felt a profound sense of satisfaction inside, as this younger disciple’s journey to becoming a foundation-building cultivator was something he had witnessed all along.
Starting as an Outer Sect Spirit Farmer with the Qi Refinement of Three
Layers, Lin Yi advanced to ranking first in farming, becoming an Inner Sect Disciple, being accepted into the Golden Sword Lineage, and then later, becoming the direct disciple of the Master.
Going from an Outer Sect Spirit Farmer with Qi Refining Three Layers to the current Foundation Building state. it only took just less than fifteen years which was truly astounding.
Let alone those with lower- grade spiritual roots, even those with middle to upper- grade spiritual roots took decades to go from the Initial Stage of Qi Refining to Foundation Building. Some cultivators who reached the foundation-building state were already having graying hair and were approaching the end of their lifespans.
“Thank you, senior brother. Without you, it would have been impossible for me to become a foundation-building cultivator,” Lin Yi also deeply bowed with crossed fists.
If it hadn’t been for Zhou Yun Fengs rewards during his term as the Lord of Sinong Palace, which allowed him to directly be promoted to the Inner Sect, even with the help of his titles, his cultivation progress wouldn’t have been as rapid while he was simply farming in the Outer Sect.
“Hahaha, all the credit goes to your own diligence. I’m just a catalyst,” Zhou Yun Feng burst into hearty laughter. He has always been paying close attention to Lin Yi.
After entering the Inner Sect, Lin Yi practically kept himself closed off for cultivation most of the time. This degree of hard work and perseverance laid the foundation for him to break through to the Foundation Building state within less than fifteen years.
At this moment, his Second Senior Sister Qi Jing Yu playfully said, “Junior brother, congratulations on your breakthrough. You really had your eyes on my top- grade alchemy spiritual furnace, didn’t you?”
She had changed from the originally unapproachable Hall Master of the Pill Hall, to her current joking and playful demeanour, which Lin Yi had played a big part in.
“Yes, Second Senior Sister. Thank you very much indeed. Ever since I found out you’re going to give me your spiritual furnace, my heart has been itching. I was eager to make a breakthrough so that I could get your spiritual furnace,” Lin Yi nodded, laughing.
The once cold second senior sister was now smiling warmly, looking quite charming. He had heard that the relationship between the second senior sister and the eldest senior brother had grown much closer in recent years.
“If you’re grateful, then I’m already satisfied,” Qi Jing Yu replied, laughing. She found her junior brother to be somewhat similar to Zhou Yun Feng in temperament. Both of them were very calm, without intentionally trying to be high-profile,
“Junior brother, congratulations on your breakthrough,” Li Yuan Qing showed a heartfelt smile, congratulating Lin Yi.
He was filled with emotion. Among the direct disciples of their Master Golden Sword Zen Ren, he was the first one to meet Lin Yi.
Initially, when bargaining over the price of some monster beast meat, he had no idea that Lin Yi would later become his junior brother and fulfill the desire that had always been in his heart, allowing his senior brother to continue his path of cultivation..
