Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 268: Chapter 165: Promotion to Second-Layer Foundation Establishment, Daoist Yunlai Returns

It wasn’t long before Jiang Fan returned home.

He stayed quietly in Yunlai City.

After all, this city is protected by a tier three array, making it difficult for even Golden Core Zhenren to break in.

In the short term, Yunlai City is still very safe.

More importantly, for now, he does not lack cultivation resources.

Therefore, he has no plans to go elsewhere.

For him, safety is the most important thing; everything else is secondary.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed quickly.

At that moment, Jiang Fan sat cross-legged on the ground, consuming drop after drop of medicine liquid.

These medicine liquids were obtained from his adventures in the Lingxi Secret Realm.

After being refined by the Ten Thousand Transformations Pill Furnace, only the purest medicine liquids remained.

These pure medicine liquids have no side effects, and their medicinal power is fierce, making them very suitable for Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Rumble~~

As Jiang Fan swallowed each drop of medicine liquid and operated the Mixed Element Talisman Scripture, he rapidly refined these medicine liquids completely, and the Primordial Talisman kept rotating, finally condensing drop after drop of primordial spiritual power.

Then, this primordial spiritual power surged out from the depths of the elixir field and flowed into his meridians.

After three months of arduous cultivation, the primordial spiritual power that Jiang Fan condensed had already connected twelve meridians, reaching the perfection of the first layer of Foundation Establishment.

Originally, he was just a step away from the second layer of Foundation Establishment realm.

Now, with the aid of these medicine liquids, the primordial spiritual power within him surged rapidly.

Boom~~

Centered on his body, the heaven and earth spiritual qi rushed in, forming a giant spiritual energy vortex.

They eagerly surged into the depths of his body.

Bang~~

Deep within his body, the primordial spiritual power began to rampage, seemingly transforming into a turbulent river, impacting the meridians.

With just one simple impact, another meridian was opened up.

Second layer of Foundation Establishment!

Obviously, for Jiang Fan, advancing to the second layer of Foundation Establishment was an extremely easy matter.

There was essentially no bottleneck at all.

This was not only due to his Earth Spirit Root talent.

More importantly, he had comprehended Foundation Establishment of Dao Understanding, laying a solid foundation.

One could say that now he was not much different from a Celestial Spirit Root cultivator.

Before advancing to the Golden Core stage, he would essentially have no bottlenecks; the checkpoints of Foundation Establishment could be achieved instantly.

This is the advantage of superior spiritual root talent and solid foundation.

But other Foundation Establishment cultivators do not have such benefits.

Every time they advance a level in their cultivation, they encounter bottlenecks.

Furthermore, as they progress, the bottlenecks become increasingly daunting.

In the end, no matter how they try, they cannot break through; even after decades or centuries of cultivation, there is no way, and ultimately, they remain stuck at their current realm.

Their achievements for this life will be no different.

”For cultivators, foundation is indeed very important.”

Jiang Fan felt a great sense of emotion, once again realizing the importance of a solid foundation for cultivators.

The so-called foundation actually has many aspects.

One aspect is the purity of the spiritual power within, which must be extremely pure without any impurities.

Another aspect is the power of the soul, which also needs to be very strong, to easily manipulate the flow of spiritual power, aiding the connection of meridians; if the spiritual sense power is insufficient to control the spiritual power, it will lead to chaotic spiritual power, damaging the meridians.

Yet another aspect is the physique, a strong body with robust meridians is needed to carry the vast spiritual power within, allowing the spiritual power to impact the meridians repeatedly.

If the physique is not strong enough, then during the impact on meridians, it will cause damage to the spirit veins.

Then, merely healing will consume an unknown amount of time.

Many Foundation Establishment cultivators, due to this, have many shortcomings, causing bottlenecks and hindering breakthroughs.

”But regardless, now I have finally advanced to the second layer of Foundation Establishment.”

Jiang Fan felt the surging primordial spiritual power within him, compared to before, the primordial spiritual power had increased by at least one-third, which also made the spiritual power within him even more robust.

Drop by drop, the primordial spiritual power flowed into the depths of his meridians.

Seemingly transforming into streams.

With each operation, it made the power within him even more profound.

Meanwhile, the size of the primordial talisman deep in his elixir field and sea of qi greatly increased, allowing him to inscribe new life talismans.

A strong power surged out from his body.

Obviously, his combat power increased substantially compared to before.

”Luckily, I obtained quite a few centennial spirit medicines in the Lingxi Secret Realm.”

”Otherwise, how could I have advanced to the second layer of Foundation Establishment so quickly.”

Jiang Fan felt deeply moved.

Despite having forty thousand spirit stones in wealth, it is a staggering amount of wealth.

The problem is, these spirit stones are unable to be spent.

Because currently, due to the turmoil in Yunlai City, trade with the outside world is essentially cut off.

No caravans come here from outside.

Causing Yunlai City to lack many supply channels.

If it were resources for the Qi Cultivation Stage, Yunlai City could easily purchase them.

After all, the resources of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range are very abundant, not lacking in Qi cultivation resources.

But Foundation Establishment level resources are different.

They were essentially monopolized by Foundation Establishment cultivators, even if he wanted to purchase them, there was no way.

If it were the past, Yunlai City would hold Foundation Establishment auctions, convenient for Foundation Establishment cultivators to purchase.

But now, Yunlai City is too busy trying to protect itself, how could there be any auctions held.

So now Jiang Fan can only rely on his existing resources.
