“Young Master Lu, I’ve made up my mind. After listening to your explanation of the path of cultivation, I feel quite interested in the path of cultivation.”
Lin Zhirui stood by the spirit field for a long time before finally returning to the courtyard and speaking to Lu Qing.
"Dharma cultivation, huh..."
Lu Qing was not surprised by this and nodded with a smile: "That's easy. After you, Lord Zhi Rui, have completely transformed the true qi in your body into spiritual power, I can teach you a cultivation technique."
"Young Master Lu, is this really okay?"
Although he had a premonition, Lin Zhirui was still overjoyed when Lu Qing actually said it.
I even felt a little uneasy.
After all, that's a method of cultivating immortality, a method that even the top sects in Zhongzhou dream of obtaining.
Lu Qing actually said he would teach him so easily.
"It's just a basic method of cultivating immortality. You don't need to be so polite, Your Excellency. The path of cultivation is long, and sometimes we need to support each other to go further."
The Qi Refining stage is merely the beginning of the path to immortality; the cultivation journey ahead is far from over.
Lu Qing's meaningful words made Lin Zhirui fall into deep thought once again.
...
Time flies, and another month has passed in the blink of an eye.
During this month, the fifth Heavenly Dao Sound that Lu Qing had been longing for did not sound.
He could clearly sense that the rules of heaven and earth had already evolved to a limit half a month ago.
However, it did not immediately trigger the fifth Heavenly Dao Sound, thus entering the next stage of evolution.
Instead, it held back, as if it were brewing something.
This also made Lu Qing realize that this fifth Heavenly Dao Sound must be extraordinary.
Once it sounds, the world will likely undergo tremendous changes.
I just don't know how long it will take for this transformation to happen.
However, the absence of the Daoist voice did not hinder Lu Qing's progress in cultivation.
In fact, after more than a month of honing his skills, his accumulated experience finally reached its limit, and he once again had to break through to the limit.
So he took some time to come to the Jade Transformation Cave again, preparing to undergo seclusion and break through his cultivation barrier.
Inside the Jade Transformation Cave, more than two months later, the spiritual energy that Lu Qing had previously exhausted had long since been replenished.
And it's even more concentrated, almost to the point of being atomized.
Seeing this, Lu Qing felt very satisfied.
His accumulated knowledge is too profound; the spiritual energy he needs to break through will surely be astonishing.
The spiritual energy gathered in the village alone is probably not enough.
That's why he chose to come to the Jade Transformation Cave to break through.
Sure enough, this place did not disappoint him; the spiritual energy was much denser than he had expected, which should be enough to support his breakthrough.
Sitting in the quiet room, Lu Qing fully activated the great formation in the cave, and after confirming that there were no problems, he...
With a slight thought, I relaxed my mind and stopped suppressing the urge to break through.
The next moment, spiritual energy surged in the quiet room, and Lu Qing's physical body immediately underwent a transformation.
Lu Qing is following the path of physical cultivation. The first thing to transform in the path of physical cultivation is the physical body.
Under his perception, his already exceptionally powerful physical body began to undergo a deeper transformation.
Bone marrow, muscles, blood vessels, meridians, acupoints... all become more vibrant and energetic.
These transformations all require the support of powerful spiritual energy.
Lu Qing's physical body transformed into a bottomless pit, continuously absorbing the spiritual energy within the cave. This energy was then refined and purified by his natal magic treasure, the Five Elements Gourd, for use in his breakthrough.
Fortunately, over the past two months, the Jade Transformation Cave has accumulated enough spiritual energy.
In addition, the formation is constantly gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the outside world as it operates.
Otherwise, we really wouldn't be able to supply Lu Qing's breakthrough needs.
Lu Qing entered the deepest state of meditation, while the "flame" within the Fire Cauldron closely monitored his breakthrough.
It ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) watched as Lu Qing continuously swallowed the spiritual energy, which was almost condensed into mist, into his body, and was secretly alarmed.
It was just a breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage; it had seen that countless times back in the Li Huo Sect.
But I have never seen anyone's breakthrough require absorbing so much spiritual energy.
This commotion, except for the absence of a heavenly tribulation, is almost comparable to a breakthrough in the Golden Core realm.
A sense of anticipation arose in Yan's heart.
Lu Qing's foundation is simply too strong.
During the Qi Refining stage, the physical body reaches a level where it radiates precious light, comparable to a body cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage.
Their strength is no less than that of a cultivator who has reached the Foundation Establishment stage.
After this breakthrough, what level of strength will he reach?
Inside the Jade Transformation Cave, the sun never shines.
Only the glowing cave walls illuminated everything.
Of course, this did not stump "Yan".
As a spirit of the artifact, it would naturally not be so easily deceived or misled.
Their grasp of time is incredibly precise.
Lu Qing's breakthrough lasted for three days and three nights.
On the morning of the fourth day, his body suddenly trembled, dispersing the still thin spiritual energy around him, and the entire cave trembled slightly.
A powerful aura emanated from him.
Like an ancient behemoth, it was terrifying beyond measure.
Lu Qing opened her eyes, her gaze filled with joy.
His breakthrough this time went very smoothly. Although it was a breakthrough to a higher realm, it did not trigger a heavenly tribulation like when he first entered the Innate Realm.
There were no difficulties or setbacks along the way; everything happened naturally, and the breakthrough was achieved effortlessly.
This is the benefit of having a solid foundation and deep accumulation.
Those cultivators who break through to a higher realm are on the verge of death, facing a near-death experience.
Most of them are because they haven't accumulated enough experience and their foundation isn't solid enough.
That's why we encounter all sorts of obstacles and find it difficult to overcome them.
"Is this the Foundation Establishment realm?"
Inside the Jade Transformation Cave, Lu Qing stretched out his hand, looking at the glow on his skin and feeling the immense power within his body, his expression inscrutable.
At this moment, he could feel that his physical body was several times stronger than before his breakthrough.
The spiritual energy within his dantian was equally surging and powerful.
Even the divine soul talisman in the acupoint between the eyebrows has been strengthened again.
If he were to face the gray-robed old monk again now, he wouldn't need to use any other means; he could probably blast him to dust with his physical strength alone.
"Congratulations, young man, on your successful breakthrough. To enter the Foundation Establishment stage at such a young age is truly rare, even in the ancient era of cultivation."
The phantom of "Yan" appeared beside Lu Qing immediately, offering his congratulations.
"I've only just entered the Foundation Establishment stage. The path of cultivation is long and arduous. The Foundation Establishment stage is merely the starting point of cultivation. I still have a long way to go," Lu Qing said, shaking his head.
"Yan" remained silent.
Indeed, the Foundation Establishment stage can only be considered the beginning of cultivation.
In the ancient era of cultivation, even in some major cultivation sects, it was not guaranteed that one could enter the inner sect.
But Lu Qing is different.
Although he had only just broken through, judging from the aura he had just exuded...
Yan estimated that this person could probably hold his own against someone at the Golden Core stage.
"Senior Yan, how long did it take me to break through?" Lu Qing asked.
"Exactly three days, no more, no less."
"Three days? That's longer than I expected." Lu Qing was somewhat surprised.
"Young master has accumulated a wealth of experience, so his breakthrough will naturally take longer."
"We've been out for so long, let's go back first."
Lu Qing wanted to test how much his strength had increased.
However, the Jade Transformation Cave was a bit too small, making it difficult to maneuver freely.
He also promised Xiaoyan that this trip wouldn't last too long.
It's not too late to experiment slowly once we get back to the village.
Moreover, after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, his cultivation plan also needs to be changed, and he needs to make some careful plans.
