Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes in Both Realms

Jiang Yun's initial bottom line was a 60% chance of success.

He wouldn't rush into foundation building unless he was at least 60% certain.

But after analyzing it now, I'm actually 80% sure.

"In that case, let's choose an auspicious day to begin the foundation building."

Jiang Yun lowered his head, opened the Ice Spirit Wood Box, glanced at the Gathering Yuan Pill, and then quickly closed it and put it into his storage bag.

He was in high spirits, got up and left the alchemy hall, and went to find the clan leader.

Upon meeting the clan leader, Jiang Yun got straight to the point.

"Clan leader, I plan to begin my foundation-building process on the sixth day of next month."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Hongde asked solemnly, "How confident are you?"

"Sixty percent."

Jiang Yun said calmly.

Even excluding that 10% confidence level, the minimum is at least 70% certainty.

"Sixty percent?"

Zhou Hongde was very surprised to hear this.

If a cultivator with three spiritual roots has no other opportunities and only has a Gathering Yuan Pill, they probably only have a 30% chance of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

With a second-tier spiritual vein, there's probably a 40% chance of success.

But Jiang Yun was surprisingly 60% confident.

Could it be that this kid has two Gathering Yuan Pills?

Despite his surprise, Zhou Hongde was still very pleased to hear Jiang Yun say that he was 60% confident.

"Since you are so confident, I will lend you my secluded cave on the sixth day of next month."

Zhou Hongde naturally hoped that Jiang Yun would establish his foundation.

Otherwise, this Gathering Yuan Pill would be a loss for the family.

Lending the cultivation cave to Jiang Yun to help him establish his foundation will greatly increase his chances of success.

"Thank you, Clan Chief." Jiang Yun bowed in thanks, then said solemnly, "Clan Chief, could you please share your insights on Foundation Establishment?"

"Alright." Zhou Hongde nodded. Even if Jiang Yun didn't ask, he would explain his Foundation Establishment experience to Jiang Yun.

In this way, Jiang Yun can avoid some detours when he is building his foundation.

"The three major hurdles of Foundation Establishment are: Qi and Blood, Mana, and Spiritual Consciousness..."

Zhou Hongde recounted his foundation-building experience in detail.

We'll start with the first stage of Foundation Building: the Qi and Blood stage, and then move on to the Mana stage.

Jiang Yun had experience in Foundation Establishment in his previous life and had passed the first stage.

Therefore, the focus should be on listening to the foundation-building tips and key points for the second and third stages.

"During the process of liquefying mana, the temperature of the dantian and meridians will increase dramatically. If you are not careful, you will burn yourself. It is best to prepare some meridian-protecting pills with the attribute of ice and cold."

"In addition, the liquefaction of mana will fail if there is not enough spiritual energy, so the Gathering Yuan Pill must be taken in advance to replenish the spiritual energy."

"Remember, when your mana is liquefied, you can use your divine sense to help compress it, which will make it easier to overcome the mana barrier."

When Zhou Hongde talked about the things to pay attention to in the second stage.

Jiang Yun nodded repeatedly.

In this life, he has not yet prepared a meridian-protecting pill with the attribute of ice and cold.

It seems I'll need to make some preparations when I get back.

Furthermore, the liquefaction of mana can actually be aided by divine sense.

This is so important!

Next, Zhou Hongde talked about the third stage of Foundation Building: the stage of spiritual consciousness.

Jiang Yun listened intently with a solemn expression.

In my previous life, I failed at the Foundation Establishment stage due to the barrier of magical power, but I have never experienced the barrier of spiritual consciousness.

Therefore, the foundational insights gained from the Divine Consciousness Gate are of utmost importance.

"Cultivators in the Qi Refining stage absorb and refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into magical power, which is then stored in their dantian."

"At this time, his sea of ​​consciousness was not yet open, and his divine sense was obscured by a gray mist, as fragile as a candle flame, which would be extinguished by a gust of wind."

Zhou Hongde looked at Jiang Yun and said in a deep voice:

"Once you overcome the barrier of magical power, all you need to do is break through the gray mist and open your sea of ​​consciousness."

"At that time, your sea of ​​consciousness will undergo earth-shattering changes. Your consciousness will be like being burned in a sea of ​​fire, and you will need to remain absolutely clear-headed."

Zhou Hongde shared all his insights on foundation building with Jiang Yun.

The sections on magical power and spiritual consciousness are described in the most detail.

Two hours had passed without us realizing it.

"Thank you, clan chief."

Jiang Yun benefited greatly from this.

He immediately returned to the Dan Hall to meditate and digest his foundation-building insights.

Time passed day by day.

There are still ten days until the sixth day of next month.

Through his connection with the clan leader, Jiang Yun managed to purchase two second-tier, low-grade, ice-cold attribute protective pills.

He can refine the meridian-protecting pills himself.

However, if you don't have the recipe, you need to spend contribution points to exchange for it.

That's why they bought the Vein Protection Pill from the clan leader.

"Two low-grade second-tier meridian-protecting pills are enough."

"Everything is ready; prepare to lay the foundation."

Jiang Yun put away the meridian-protecting pill and sat down to meditate and adjust her state of mind.

Ten days later.

He went deep into the Zhou family compound and, with Zhou Hongde's permission, entered Zhou Hongde's secluded cave.

Inside the cave, there was only a futon, a luminous pearl, and a Yuantian lamp; it was very simple.

As soon as Jiang Yun stepped into the cave, he discovered that the spiritual energy here was much more abundant than outside, presumably due to the blessing of a spirit-gathering array.

He walked to the prayer mat and sat down cross-legged.

We can start working on Foundation Establishment now.

However, Jiang Yun did not rush to begin. He recalled his previous life's foundation-building experience and the clan leader's insights on foundation-building, while adjusting his state of mind to its best.

"Begin foundation building!"

A few days later, Jiang Yun adjusted his condition to its best and began his attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Before we knew it, five days had passed in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Yun sat cross-legged on the futon, motionless.

However, his body was experiencing a surge of blood and qi.

This is an attempt to break through the first stage of Foundation Establishment, the Qi and Blood Barrier, suppressing the Qi and Blood throughout the body.

Several more days passed before the surging blood and qi gradually calmed down.

Jiang Yun possessed the innate talent of "strong and robust" in the first stage of Foundation Building, which allowed him to easily suppress his Qi and blood and successfully pass through it.

After passing the Qi and Blood barrier, the magical power in the dantian began to rotate rapidly, forming a vortex.

At the same time, the temperature inside the dantian rises higher and higher, as does the temperature of the meridians.

The burning sensation in his dantian and meridians made Jiang Yun frown slightly.

He immediately swallowed the two protective pills.

After taking two Protective Pills into my abdomen, the burning sensation gradually subsided.

Immediately afterwards, the vortex in his dantian began to frantically devour the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Jiang Yun quickly activated his magic incantation to liquefy his magical power.

"This amount of spiritual energy is not enough; you need to take a Gathering Yuan Pill."

With this in mind, Jiang Yun swallowed the Gathering Yuan Pill without hesitation.

After swallowing the Gathering Yuan Pill, the abundant spiritual energy was absorbed by the vortex in the dantian.

Jiang Yun focused intently, using his magic to compress the gaseous magical power, gradually turning it into a liquid state.

"The clan chief said that at this time, we can use our divine sense to assist in the liquefaction of mana, which will be faster and more reliable."

"My spiritual power far surpasses that of ordinary Qi Refining cultivators, and with the Qi Gathering Pill providing spiritual energy, I've passed the mana barrier!"

Jiang Yun recalled the clan leader's insights on Foundation Establishment and began to use his divine sense to assist in the liquefaction of his magical power.

Immediately, the speed at which mana liquefied increased significantly.

Soon after, all the magical power in his dantian was transformed into a liquid state.

The second stage of Foundation Building, the Mana Barrier, has been successfully broken through.

"Next is the third challenge, the challenge of spiritual consciousness."

Jiang Yun took out the top-grade Soul-Soothing Pill and swallowed it directly.

Then close your eyes tightly and begin to circulate the incantation.

Consciousness arrived in a space shrouded in gray mist.

This gray, misty space is the sea of ​​consciousness during the Qi Refining stage.

As Jiang Yun circulated his magic, the gray mist gradually dissipated.

Only after all the fog had dissipated did the view suddenly open up, and the rudimentary form of the sea of ​​consciousness had been born.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Yun felt his divine sense burning like a raging fire, making it difficult to sustain.

"The most difficult part of the spiritual consciousness barrier is that this state must be maintained to ensure the birth and formation of the sea of ​​consciousness."

Jiang Yun maintained his original intention and used his divine power to sustain and open his sea of ​​consciousness.

As the power of divine sense is continuously depleted, the sea of ​​consciousness becomes more and more stable.

At the last moment, the effects of the Supreme Soul-Soothing Pill erupted, and Jiang Yun's spiritual power surged.

Under this divine power, the sea of ​​consciousness was completely opened and stabilized.

I passed the third stage of Foundation Establishment, the Divine Sense Stage, without any major incidents.

"Foundation established successfully!"

In this life, Jiang Yun is thirty-seven years old and has finally achieved Foundation Establishment.
