Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Chapter 119: Foundation Establishment Success Jade Jue Mutation
Over the past year, Chen Yuan had been absorbed in alchemy, refining twenty-two furnaces of foundation-building pills in a row. Although they all failed, he gained a lot of experience over time, and was not inferior to the alchemy masters.

It should be known that the three elixirs of the Foundation Establishment Pill are extremely precious. An ordinary alchemy master may not be able to refine a few furnaces in ten years.

During this year, Chen Yuan experienced 22 kinds of changes in the timing of pill refining, and gained some insights. When he was refining the 23rd furnace of pills, his mind was as calm as a lake, without any waves, and he worked smoothly and freely.

Fifteen days later, it was time to condense the elixir again. A fist-sized ball of spiritual liquid slowly turned in the furnace.

Chen Yuan raised his hand and nodded:
"Congeal!"

The spiritual liquid was divided into ten balls and gradually condensed into pills. Chen Yuan closed his eyes, sensing the changes in the energy in the furnace. Suddenly, he raised his hand and released a clear spiritual light, which flew into the furnace.

The spiritual light split into ten rays and was injected into the pills. The eight pills trembled slightly and turned into pill energy that floated away.

But the remaining two pills spun around and solidified into shape.

Chen Yuan raised his hand and the furnace lid lifted up. Two pills flew out and fell into Chen Yuan's hands.

The two pills are the size of a thumb, and are black and white, like Tai Chi, with white in black and black in white. They are extremely mysterious and exude a rich spiritual energy.

"After a year of hard work, the elixir is finally made!"

Chen Yuan laughed loudly, put the two foundation-building pills into the jade bottle, took out a Yuhua pill and swallowed it to restore his magic power.

Two hours later, he stood up and walked out of the small building, picked five spiritual herbs, and continued to refine the elixir.

The success rate of this batch of pills is still 20%, and it will be the same for the next few batches.

When Chen Yuan refined the 29th batch of pills, the success rate increased to 30%.

By the time the last batch of pills was refined, Chen Yuan had refined a total of twenty-one foundation-building pills.

Afterwards, Chen Yuan meditated for three days, keeping his mind focused and calming his spirit, then took a foundation-building pill and began to build his foundation!
After the foundation-building pill was swallowed, it immediately turned into two huge streams of spiritual energy, one hot like fire, and the other cold like ice.

The two spiritual energies entangled with each other, cold and heat intertwined. Chen Yuan felt as if he was in the magma of the earth's fire at one moment, and in the black ice of ten thousand years at another moment. He felt extremely uncomfortable.

Fortunately, his body was strong, and he quickly adapted to this feeling, guiding the two huge spiritual energies and practicing Qigong.

After completing thirty-six cycles, the two streams of spiritual energy flowed like rivers and poured into the Dantian.

A hot spiritual energy came from above, and a cold spiritual energy came from below, infecting Chen Yuan's magic power and assimilating it completely.

It was unknown how long it had passed, but half of Chen Yuan's magic power turned into burning spiritual energy, and the other half turned into cold spiritual energy, swirling around like Tai Chi, but clearly separated.

Chen Yuan followed the foundation-building method and squeezed his magic power towards the middle, trying to condense the qi into liquid and break through the foundation.

But no matter how hard Chen Yuan tried, the two spiritual energies showed no sign of blending. After a while, they returned to their red color, but were a little more condensed than before.

The first attempt to build the foundation failed.

Chen Yuan remained calm, took the second foundation-building pill, and continued to break through the bottleneck.

As expected, this time it failed, but it made Chen Yuan's magic power more refined.

Chen Yuan adjusted his breath for a moment and took the third foundation-building pill.

He wanted to see how many foundation-building pills he, a cultivator with five spiritual roots, would need to take in order to successfully build his foundation!

……

There are no years in the mountains, and the years of cultivation are endless.

A year later, Chen Yuan woke up from his meditation and slowly opened his eyes.

It was the middle of the night and the small building was pitch black, with one not being able to see one's hand in front of one's face.

When Chen Yuan opened his eyes, there seemed to be a flash of white light, and the room was as bright as day.

But the next moment, the gleam in Chen Yuan's eyes faded, and what he had just seen seemed like an illusion.

He stood up and walked out of the small building, looked up, and saw the bright moon hanging high in the sky, the Milky Way across the sky, and thousands of stars shining brightly, just like Chen Yuan's mood at the moment.

He took seventeen foundation-building pills in a row and finally broke through the bottleneck and successfully built his foundation!
Chen Yuan stood with his hands behind his back. The magic power in his body turned, and a layer of red light emerged out of thin air outside his body. It slowly rose into the sky and came to the top of the valley, under the forbidden light curtain.

This is the escape light that only foundation-building cultivators can have. From now on, Chen Yuan can travel in the sky without fear of strong energy and strong winds, and he can also go deep into the sea abyss thousands of feet deep without fear of the pressure of deep water.

He smiled slightly, dispersed his light, and fell back to the ground.

He raised his hand and waved it, and his magic power surged, condensing into a fire crow that circled and danced in the air, its eyes bright, as if it were a living thing.

Before Chen Yuan established his foundation, it took him three breaths of time and consumed a lot of mana to cast the Fire Crow Technique. But now, he could just think it out and send and receive it at will.

He raised his hand and waved it again, the fire crows cried and slowly dissipated. Then, Chen Yuan released his spiritual sense and took the entire valley into it!
After an ordinary Qi-refining cultivator has established his foundation, the range of his spiritual awareness will expand from thirty meters to one hundred meters.

But after Chen Yuan built his foundation, his spiritual awareness was one hundred and fifty feet wide, just enough to cover the entire Tiantai Peak Spiritual Medicine Garden. Every blade of grass and every tree in the valley was under his control.

Not only that, his spiritual sense has become much more condensed and can sense more subtle changes.

If he were asked to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill now, the success rate would definitely not be only 30%.

Chen Yuan smiled, withdrew his spiritual sense, stroked the storage bag, took out the silver sword and threw it forward.

The Silver Sword flew into the air, shuttling back and forth, its flying speed several times faster than before.

After Chen Yuan established his foundation, the magic power in his body condensed into liquid true essence, becoming deep and pure. When he controlled the magic weapon, the consumption was greatly reduced.

In the past, when he fought with others with all his strength, his magic power would be exhausted in less than a quarter of an hour. Now, even if he fought for several hours, he still had some strength left.

However, the Silver Gang Sword is only a top-grade magic weapon. If it were replaced with a spiritual weapon, the consumption would be greater.

Chen Yuan carefully experienced the many changes after building his foundation and began to consider his next path.

After he overcame this difficulty, his life span increased to two hundred years, and his cultivation, which had stagnated for more than a decade, could continue to grow. The most urgent task was to find a method of cultivation.

Chen Yuan now has two martial arts techniques in his hands, one is the nameless water-based martial arts technique obtained from Luo Zhenwu, and the other is the "Demon God Technique" obtained from Du Yu, both of which can be practiced to the late stage of foundation building.

But he only had fire-based magic power and was unable to switch to water-based skills.

As a physical cultivation method, "Demon God Art" is not limited by spiritual root qualifications, but it requires refining the essence and blood of monsters, and it is also impossible to practice it.

However, even if Chen Yuan had the essence and blood of the monster in his hands, he would not practice the "Demon God Art".

If you cannot achieve immortality, what is the difference between Nascent Soul and Qi Refining?

However, without any martial arts techniques, he was unable to circulate his energy and transform the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into magic power. He possessed a large spiritual vein, but was unable to improve his cultivation. It was truly a waste of God's gift.

But there is no way to solve this problem. We can only wait for the secret realm to be opened, and then return to Lingyun Sect to find a suitable technique.

However, these few years will not be wasted. With the jade beads in his hand, he can draw starlight into his body and enhance his spiritual awareness.

Chen Yuan reached into his arms, took out the jade pendant and placed it under the starlight.

The jade beads emitted a faint green light. Chen Yuan closed his eyes slightly, waiting for the starlight to fall.

But at this moment, the surface of the jade suddenly glowed brightly, and a suction force surged out, starting to devour the true energy in Chen Yuan's body!
Chen Yuan was shocked and subconsciously tried to shake off Yu Jue.

But the jade beads were firmly stuck to Chen Yuan's hand, and the speed of absorbing the true energy was also very fast. In just a few breaths, it had devoured all the true energy in Chen Yuan's body.

During this process, the green light emitted by the jade became more and more dazzling, competing with the stars in the sky.

After consuming all of Chen Yuan's true energy, the green light on the surface of the jade pendant suddenly gathered into a beam and shot into Chen Yuan's forehead.

"what!"

Chen Yuan yelled in pain, closed his eyes, and knelt on the ground. He felt a splitting headache and it seemed as if many things were stuffed into his soul out of thin air.

In just a moment, he fainted and fell to the ground.

The green light on the surface of the jade pendant gradually faded away, and it slipped from Chen Yuan's hand and fell to the ground. Under the shining starlight, it glowed faintly.

……

Three days later, Chen Yuan slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was a deep blue forbidden light curtain, and the azure sky behind it.

His eyes were hazy and he blinked a few times before he remembered what had happened before. He quickly looked inward, searching for the thing that was inexplicably stuffed into his soul.

The next moment, he entered a gray space and turned into a light red transparent shadow, which was exactly the same as the situation when he took the Heart-Searching Pill when he joined the Lingyun Sect.

This is Chen Yuan’s soul space. After building his foundation, his soul has transformed and he can enter it actively.

Originally, this place was empty, with only Chen Yuan sitting cross-legged in spirit.

But now there is a golden jade disk standing before the soul.

Chen Yuan stared at it and was shocked, and then a burst of ecstasy surged into his heart.

This is actually a set of skills, an extremely advanced set of skills!
