I can identify everything, but this is an upgraded version of identification.

"Dragon whisker root, pure yang leaves, remove 80% of the medicinal liquid from the 'Connecting Void' herb... remove 90% from the 'True Spirit Grass' herb, and 50% from the 'Nine Wells Grass' herb..."

After numerous experiments, Su Changming finally produced the first batch of pills.

"The medicinal aroma is rich, and the elixir is of superior quality."

Looking at the perfectly round, translucent white pill, Su Changming couldn't resist the urge to swallow it.

To have such an impulse simply by refining a superior-grade barrier-breaking pill, I truly wonder what the effects of the two-pattern barrier-breaking pill refined by the Crimson Light Venerable are.

Su Changming couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

From the first batch to the end, a total of 152 batches were refined, and Su Changming finally found the best ratio.

As for techniques, the sharp-eared and sharp-eyed Su Changming was able to replicate them perfectly after merely observing the refining techniques of the Crimson Light Master.

This is actually the thing we need to worry about the least.

After bidding farewell to Master Chiguang, Su Changming returned to the back mountain of Jiamu Herb Garden.

Upon entering the cave, Su Changming set up an array and immediately prepared to break through to the twelfth level of Qi Refining.

With the two-pattern barrier-breaking pill given to him by the Crimson Light Master, he could easily reach the perfect Qi Refining stage.

Even early Foundation Establishment cultivators can benefit greatly from taking the Breakthrough Pill because it is a second-grade pill.

Su Changming only prepared to take one pill.

Su Changming took out the True Spirit Grass liquid that he had previously refined in the Human Character Pill Room and drank it all in one gulp.

Suddenly, he felt a surge of magical power around him.

Su Changming immediately sat cross-legged and began to practice his internal energy.

As wave after wave of medicinal effects erupted, the spiritual acupoints within Su Changming's body gradually opened up.

In the blink of an eye, a day had passed. Su Changming trembled slightly, and the surface of his skin peeled off.

"At this point, he can already be considered a half-step Foundation Establishment cultivator..."

Su Changming felt the abundance of spiritual energy in his dantian and nodded in satisfaction.

Upon reaching the pinnacle of Qi Refining, with no flaws in the body, one will receive an additional physical enhancement. Although not comparable to other Body Tempering cultivators of the same level, this still signifies a complete transcendence of mortals.

From then on, consuming the five grains of the mortal world would only be a burden, and would no longer replenish the body in the slightest.

Absorbing spiritual energy can also help to satisfy hunger to some extent.

The reason for this is that the concentration of spiritual energy in the body has reached a certain limit, and the next breakthrough would require reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

With a casual summoning of Xiao Tongfeng, the debris on Su Changming's body was carried away by the wind.

Such a gift would be very useful to ordinary Qi Refining cultivators, but since Su Changming had reached the Body Tempering realm, this gift was insignificant.

"I've reached the Qi Refining Perfection stage... I originally thought I would reach this level within two or three years, and I hadn't even considered changing my cultivation method."

Now, not only has the cultivation technique reached the upper-level of the Profound rank, but it has also taken less than a year, which is truly unpredictable.

Ordinary cultivators often get stuck at a single realm for two or three months. Although Su Changming has an extraordinary ability to assess, he never expected to advance so rapidly.

Now is the time to calm down and solidify our foundation.

He has now achieved a 50% success rate in Foundation Establishment. If it were anyone else, they would have already been unable to restrain themselves and would have gone into seclusion to cultivate, fantasizing about becoming a Foundation Establishment True Person.

But Su Changming was not in a hurry.

If there's a 50% success rate, then there's still a 50% failure rate.

The chances of failing to build a foundation by rounding down four or five options are very high.

In the time that follows, Su Changming should look for spiritual items, pills, or spiritual pools that can increase the probability of breaking through to a higher realm.

It wouldn't be difficult to ask the Crimson Light Master for a high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, which can increase the probability of Foundation Establishment by 20%.

However, as a disciple, I must not leave the materials to Master Chiguang.

Even though they don't care about those materials, it's still unreasonable for them to both refine pills for you and provide the materials.

During this time, we need to gather the materials for the Foundation Building Pill.

As for the Spirit Pool...

The Flowing Cloud Sect has a Wood Spirit Pool and a Water Spirit Pool, both of which can increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment by 10%. You can choose to use one of them.

As someone with five spiritual roots, the effects of the two spiritual pools are quite similar.

Based on this calculation, the probability of achieving Foundation Establishment is already 80%.

Even if 80% is an overstatement, 70% is still quite high.

If you search for spiritual items that can be identified and upgraded to increase the probability of Foundation Establishment, you should be able to secure Foundation Establishment with almost certainty.

With this in mind, Su Changming bathed and changed his clothes, then slowly walked out of the cave and headed towards the Hall of Transmission.

As the melodious bell tolled, Su Changming slowly arrived at the mountainside.

"It's the beginning of the month today. Since you all had your annual leave a few days ago, I'm going to call on you to spar with each other. The loser will have their contribution points for this month halved."

As soon as they entered the main hall, they heard the voice of the Seventh Elder and the cries of distress from a group of inner disciples.

One of the benefits of having a Foundation Establishment Elder give a daily sermon is the duty of inner disciples, and generally, they are not allowed to miss it.

But Su Changming had already been skipping classes for more than half a year, and since there was no trouble, his monthly contribution points were still being distributed as usual, so he simply stopped coming.

Nowadays, you need to contribute points to buy spiritual materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pills. You can also earn a considerable amount of contribution points by completing the tasks assigned by the teaching elders.

This is clearly stated in the Inner Disciple Code of Conduct.

The reduction of contribution points by half, as mentioned by the Seventh Elder, is also within his responsibilities.

All teaching elders can determine the distribution of disciples' monthly contributions based on their performance.

"Young Master Su, that's quite a surprise. You actually came to the Transmission Hall today. I told you before that if you had any questions about cultivation, you could come and find me. Why haven't you come even once? Could it be that you look down on me?"

When the Seventh Elder saw Su Changming, he couldn't help but tease him.

He naturally had a deep impression of the question "student" that the sect leader had specifically asked him to answer.

"I'm sorry, Seventh Elder, I've been so focused on my cultivation these past few days that I haven't had the energy to do anything else."

Su Changming clasped his hands in greeting.

He subtly revealed a trace of his aura.

"Good lad, you've already reached the tenth level of Qi Refining! Your progress in cultivation is quite fast, second only to Luo Xinyun and Song Zong in the same year."

The Seventh Elder praised.

"Thank you for your praise, Seventh Elder."

Su Changming said.

He was also satisfied with the concealment ability of the Purple Qi Illusionary Body Technique. If he did not actively reveal his aura, even the Foundation Establishment elders would not be able to discern his true cultivation level. It was truly useful.

"You've come at the right time. Cultivation is not enough if you only practice the methods and not the path. Let this elder see how good your combat skills are. Why don't you have a match with Luo Xinyun?"

The Seventh Elder chuckled.

"this……"

Su Changming looked troubled.

Why was it Luo Xinyun? Su Changming had visited his master at Zizhu Peak several times but had not found her. He then knew that Luo Xinyun must have lost her battle against Song Zong.

He had told Luo Xinyun the location of his cave, but she never looked for him.

It must be because she's too proud...

Now, Su Changming really didn't know what to do.

If I lose, my contribution points for this month will be halved; if I win, I feel somewhat guilty towards Luo Xinyun's past investments.

What should I do...?
