The System Arrives: Leading My Clan to Become the Strongest

24: Chapter Sign-in Dandian”Grand Elder, you should also Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment as soon as possible, then lead the Clan Members to build the market square.”

”Yes, Clan Chief.”

The Grand Elder replied.

”Alright, that’s all for now. I’ll go set up the Formation and guide the Spiritual Vein. All the Immortal Caves will be available for use tonight; you all should go to the caves to Breakthrough your Realms tonight.”

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he walked out of the great hall without looking back.

Before long, he arrived at the stone chamber, which had already been cleared out.

In the center of the stone chamber, Jiang Chen took out the Spirit Guiding Formation.

Fortunately, this Spirit Guiding Formation was a finished product and didn’t need to be set up manually. He placed it directly on the ground and then took out eight High-Grade Spirit Stones to place in the gaps of the Spirit Guiding Formation.

As the last Spirit Stone was placed, the entire Spirit Guiding Formation lit up with a blue light. The blue light then rotated along the Formation, gradually forming a passage that extended downward.

Deep underground, unseen by any human, a passage formed by blue light continued to advance.

After an unknown amount of time, the passage seemed to hit a barrier. However, it persisted, constantly rotating against the barrier, wanting to strike straight at the heart and Breakthrough the barrier.

Perhaps the blue passage was truly persistent; with a ”pop” sound, the barrier seemed to be torn open. The passage entered directly, blending perfectly like a swallow returning to its nest.

Subsequently, streams of pure Spiritual Qi rose along the passage, and finally, in the stone chamber, streams of Spiritual Qi continuously gushed out from the Spirit Guiding Formation.

In the blink of an eye, the entire stone chamber was filled with Spiritual Qi.

Feeling the incomparably pure spiritual power, Jiang Chen felt that even without using Spirit Stones to Cultivate, he could Breakthrough a Realm within two or three days in this stone chamber.

As expected of a fifth-tier spirit vein; even after being weakened so much by the second-tier Spirit Guiding Formation, the Spiritual Qi was still this pure.

Then Jiang Chen closed his eyes and carefully sensed the locations of the ten Immortal Caves. He walked to a corner of the stone chamber, circulated spiritual power through his fingertips, and thrust directly into the wall.

As the spiritual power continuously shuttled through the wall, before long, a finger-sized hole extended from the stone chamber all the way into one of the Immortal Caves.

Next, Jiang Chen continued to thrust his finger into the corners of the walls.

Soon, all ten Immortal Caves were connected to the stone chamber by finger-sized holes.

As the stone chamber became rich with Spiritual Qi, it began to flow toward the holes Jiang Chen had just opened.

At this moment, in the Immortal Caves, the Grand Elder and several other Elders were cultivating.

As Spiritual Qi continuously gushed out from the holes, the entire Immortal Cave was instantly filled with Spiritual Qi.

Feeling the dense Spiritual Qi surrounding them, all the Elders were overjoyed.

Especially Jiang Beiyuan; originally at the Peak of the seventh level of Qi Refining, he directly broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refining under the influence of this Spiritual Qi.

Feeling his surging spiritual power, Jiang Beiyuan suddenly saw a ray of hope.

Sensing the dense Spiritual Qi in the Immortal Cave and having swallowed a mirror-breaking pill that hadn’t been fully digested yet, he still had another mirror-breaking pill in his hand.

This time he had received two mirror-breaking pills from the Grand Elder. Now, with the same Realm, the same Immortal Cave, and the same Medicinal Pills, it would be too difficult for him to Breakthrough to the Ninth Level of Qi Refining before the Grand Elder and the Second Elder.

But it wasn’t impossible; he just had to give it his all.

Thinking of this, he directly swallowed the last mirror-breaking pill.

As the second mirror-breaking pill went down, Jiang Beiyuan felt as if his entire body was about to explode.

One must know that for a powerful Medicinal Pill like the mirror-breaking pill, one should at most take one at a time, and wait until it’s fully digested before taking a second one.

But now, because Jiang Beiyuan swallowed the second mirror-breaking pill before the medicinal power of the first one was fully digested, it was simply like an old man drinking arsenic—seeking death.

However, at this moment, he could only grit his teeth and endure. Anyone present would have noticed that tiny cracks had begun to appear on Jiang Beiyuan’s body. As these cracks spread across his entire body, he looked like a porcelain doll covered in cracks, as if he might shatter at any moment.

”Ah!”

Perhaps Jiang Beiyuan really couldn’t bear the pain and cried out.

It could also be that this release allowed his Bottleneck to be directly smashed open, and he stepped directly into the Ninth Level of Qi Refining.

However, it didn’t end there. The medicinal power of the two mirror-breaking pills was simply too strong, and it rampaged through his body.

Sensing that something was wrong with his body, Jiang Beiyuan panicked a little, but he quickly adjusted his mindset and began to guide this spiritual power to start the final sprint.

However, as he continuously controlled the circulation, he found that this spiritual power was becoming even more massive.

It turned out that as he cultivated and his Cultivation Technique continuously operated, the Spiritual Qi filling the Immortal Cave kept pouring into his body, causing the spiritual power within him to grow continuously.

Discovering this, Jiang Beiyuan wanted to cry but had no tears. Why did he have to show off? Now he had really screwed himself over.

Before long, he reached the Peak of the Ninth Level of Qi Refining. However, the spiritual power in his body was even greater than before. But now, breaking through to Foundation Establishment was a certain death for him; without a foundation establishment pill, wanting to Breakthrough from the Ninth Level of Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment was simply a pipe dream.

But in this situation, it was impossible to get a foundation establishment pill. He could only force a Breakthrough. Finally, he circulated all the spiritual power in his body for the final charge—success or death.

*Boom!*

As if the world was being created, a massive roar echoed in Jiang Beiyuan’s mind.

He broke through. Great, it seemed even the heavens wouldn’t take him and allowed him to succeed. Foundation Establishment, the same level as the Grand Elder!

Thinking of this, Jiang Beiyuan began to chuckle foolishly.

He sensed the condition inside his body, but soon, he was dumbfounded.

What’s going on? Where’s the Foundation Establishment?

At this moment, in his Dantian, the spiritual power was still the same spiritual power, still in a gaseous state, and had not condensed into a liquid droplet.

One must know that to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, the spiritual power in the Dantian must turn from gas to liquid to signify a successful Foundation Establishment.

But now, his Dantian had expanded more than ten times compared to before, yet it was indeed not Foundation Establishment.

”Is this... the legendary Tenth Level of Qi Refining? Isn’t this something only a favored child of heaven can achieve? Could it be that I am also a Genius?”

Thinking of this, Jiang Beiyuan chuckled foolishly again.

Others did not know about Jiang Beiyuan’s Breakthrough to the Tenth Level of Qi Refining. At this moment, all the Elders were working hard to Breakthrough their Realms.

Jiang Chen set up the Spirit Guiding Formation and opened the Spiritual Qi channels for the ten Immortal Caves before returning to his small courtyard.

At this moment, the small courtyard had a brand new look. The entire courtyard was built with azure wood, and it had doubled in size compared to before.

There had been too many things to do these past few days, and he hadn’t had much rest. This time, he returned to his room and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

For a moment, the entire world suddenly darkened.

Jiang Chen slept very comfortably. The next day, when he woke up, he was full of energy.

”System, sign in.”

”Ding! Sign-in successful. Obtained the First Volume of the Pill Codex.”

He clicked to view the information.

[First Volume of the Pill Codex]: All things have spirits and can be used as medicine; through Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, creation produces pills.

The first volume records the refining methods for over a hundred types of first to third-tier pills, as well as the illustrations, medicinal properties (cold, hot, warm, cool, neutral), growth environments, and harvesting seasons for three hundred and sixty common basic herbs.
