Chapter 184
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Xuan once again arrived at the Azure Cloud Peak, entering the tranquil courtyard with a calm expression.
The three Foundation Establishment cultivators were still stationed in the main hall, along with several fellow disciples seated nearby. Their rounded and full states indicated their complete preparation to break through the Foundation Establishment realm.
Seeing Lu Xuan entering, the three Foundation Establishment cultivators smiled and nodded, expressing goodwill.
Lu Xuan saluted from a distance, found a corner, and sat down, closing his eyes for meditation.
After a while, a charming Foundation Establishment female cultivator approached the group.
"All the outer disciples preparing to break through the Foundation Establishment realm in the recent days are here."
"In total, there are seven people. Among them, three are attempting for the first time, three for the second time, and one has already attempted three times."
"According to the sect rules, for the first attempt, you can get a Foundation Establishment Pill to impact the next realm for free. For the second attempt, you can purchase a Foundation Establishment Pill at half price. From the third attempt onwards, you'll need to buy it at the full price."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan and others exchanged glances, and four of them stepped forward, handing varying amounts of spirit stones to the charming female cultivator.Lu Xuan noticed a stern-faced young man among them, who took out at least two thousand spirit stones, presumably the disciple attempting the third breakthrough in the Foundation Establishment realm.
Lu Xuan gained even more respect for him, realizing that attempting the breakthrough for the third time not only consumed numerous spirit stones but also required immense courage and determination.
"After this, you will receive your Foundation Establishment Pills. Check them first, then enter the Transmission Hall and use the quiet rooms inside to break through the Foundation Establishment realm."
The female cultivator brought seven small jade boxes using her spiritual sense and placed them in front of Lu Xuan and the others.
Lu Xuan took the jade box in front of him and gently opened it.
In the center of the box lay a Foundation Establishment Pill, the size of a longan. Numerous spiritual patterns danced on the surface, emitting a faint glow. A rich spiritual energy surged, making every inch of Lu Xuan's body restless with anticipation for the pill.
"This is the key to breaking through the Foundation Establishment realm, the Foundation Establishment Pill."
Lu Xuan looked at the pill in the jade box, feeling a myriad of emotions.
Rare pills that a rogue cultivator might not obtain in a lifetime were freely given here. The contrast was too great.
After confirming there were no issues, the charming female cultivator led the group into the inner courtyard.
Descending down the steps, Lu Xuan sensed the increasingly pure and abundant spiritual energy, surpassing that of his own cave mansion.
"Brother, you seem a bit unfamiliar. Did you recently join the sect? How should I address you?" A handsome young man beside Lu Xuan asked in a soft voice.
"Hello, senior brother. I'm Lu Xuan. I've been in the sect for some time, but I'm usually cultivating and nurturing spiritual plants, so senior brother might not have seen me much," Lu Xuan replied with a smile.
The conversation opened up among them, with the young man and others sharing their experiences of attempting to break through the Foundation Establishment realm. This exchange proved beneficial for Lu Xuan and the other two newcomers.
After a while, the charming female cultivator led the seven to the depths of the underground.
In the spacious corridor filled with rich spiritual energy, there were dozens of quiet rooms on both sides. The doors were tightly closed, and intricate patterns adorned the walls, floors, and doors.
"We've reached our destination."
"These quiet rooms are located on a mid-grade spiritual vein. Even Foundation Establishment cultivators can practice much faster inside, and when breaking through the Foundation Establishment realm, you can quickly absorb and recover spiritual energy with the assistance of the unique fragrance in each room."
"Furthermore, all these rooms are within a large gathering formation. Inside each room, there is a calming fragrance that can help you further break through the Foundation Establishment realm."
"Finally, an Inner Sect disciple in the Foundation Establishment later stage is stationed underground. In case of any accidents, they can swiftly intervene."
"Choose a quiet room on your own, rest for a while, and then you can officially attempt to break through the Foundation Establishment realm."
"May everything go smoothly."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan and the others adjusted their breaths and saluted each other.
"To mutual success."
"To mutual success."
Lu Xuan casually looked around and headed towards a slightly secluded room.
Opening the door, he calmly entered.
The interior of the room was even more elegant than Lu Xuan had imagined. There were no unnecessary decorations, only a white jade cushion. On the opposite wall, an incense made of an unknown material was inserted.
Faint smoke wafted from the incense, and its scent made Lu Xuan's spiritual awareness lively, giving him a sense of detachment.
He approached the white jade cushion and sat cross-legged.
Taking out a third-grade Foundation Establishment Pill from the jade box, he swallowed it in one gulp.
A surging medicinal power rushed out, like a herd of spirited horses galloping through every part of Lu Xuan's body.
Biting his tongue, Lu Xuan felt the medicine's power crazily washing through every muscle and bone in his body.
The medicinal power covered every part of his body, strengthening his bones, meridians, and internal organs, attempting to repair imperceptible hidden injuries in his body.
Fortunately, since reaching the second level of Qi cultivation, Lu Xuan had rarely engaged in conflicts and had not left any hidden injuries. Moreover, with the practice of the high-grade body refining techniques, "Lustrous Bone Forging Technique" and "Ethereal Dragon Transformation," his physical body was stronger than most Qi cultivation experts at the complete stage.
The torrential medicinal power flowed out from his limbs, gathering together like a dam bursting, surging towards Lu Xuan's dantian.
A vast amount of spiritual energy rose and fell, and Lu Xuan fervently operated the "Five Elements Technique," absorbing the endless medicinal power from the Foundation Establishment Pill to the best of his ability.
A vortex of spiritual energy quietly formed around his body. Inside the quiet room, rich spiritual energy rapidly gathered, merging into the spiritual energy vortex.
A faint sound seemed to come from his chaotic dantian.
A drop of spiritual liquid dripped from the void above his dantian, falling into the center.
The gaseous spiritual energy transformed into liquid mana, indicating the transition to the Foundation Establishment realm.
One drop, two drops, three drops...
After an unknown amount of time passed, the amount of spiritual liquid in his dantian increased. Gathering together, it formed a pool of spiritual liquid, rippling with a rich spiritual aura.
Until all the gaseous spiritual power had turned into liquid, Lu Xuan's spiritual awareness in his sea of consciousness soared, detached from his body, and then returned.
Meeting with the spiritual liquid in his dantian, there was a feeling of breaking through the clouds and seeing the sun, as if entering a new world in an instant.
In Lu Xuan's heart, there was a hidden understanding:
Foundation Establishment, achieved.
