Chapter 85: The road to becoming an immortal is like walking on thin ice, and finally the foundation is laid!

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

Su Bai emerged from her underground secret chamber.

Her eyes radiated an unprecedented brilliance.

"I walked on thin ice for eighty years, and I finally made it through."

"Success!"

"Qi Refining Peak!"

It took Su Bai thirteen years to go from Qi Refining Ninth Layer to Qi Refining Peak, with the aid of the Medicine King Canon's boost to Medicinal Pill effects.

If she had Cultivated step by step, it would have taken at least twenty years.

"Hehehe, this is the benefit of having resources."

Cultivation depends first on Aptitude, and second on resources.

The more Spirit Stones, the better the Medicinal Pills, the faster the Cultivation!

Now at Qi Refining Peak, it was time to prepare for Foundation Establishment.

She glanced at her attribute points.

Divine Soul: 17

Physique: 40

Magic Power: 3

Creation Essence: 20

In these years, after having enough Spirit Medicine, Su Bai stopped adding points to Creation Essence and instead focused on improving her Divine Soul.

This greatly increased Su Bai's Divine Sense power.

At this moment, her Divine Sense power was no less than that of a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator.

Relying on her powerful Divine Sense, Su Bai painstakingly pushed her Formation level to Second-Tier!

The Formation at her Haijiao Cliff had also been completely replaced by Su Bai.

Now, all the Formations in her lair were Second-Tier Formations!

As for the Mortals at the foot of her mountain, who had been relocated by Xu Changge.

After more than ten years of development, they had long since stabilized.

However, Su Bai had never bothered with them, nor had she sought out Immortal Seeds with Aptitude Spiritual Roots to take under her wing and help her.

Her Haijiao Cliff had a Formation.

Those Mortals couldn't find her either.

Although both were aware of each other's existence, they had never met.

Standing on the cliff edge, Su Bai exerted her eyesight.

She could see the busy fishermen on the coast.

Some were casting nets from small wooden boats.

Others were already counting their catches on the shore.

After observing her surroundings.

There were only these fishermen nearby.

Su Bai nodded, relieved.

As for Lü Hong, Su Bai had sent her back home when she was preparing to Breakthrough to Qi Refining Peak.

Xingluo Market was just beginning.

The Lü family had many things to attend to.

Su Bai had already told her to help her parents, and Lü Hong had left her side.

For so many years, Lü Hong had been Cultivating by Su Bai's side, experiencing little.

Not to say she was as naive as a blank slate, but she was also completely ignorant of schemes.

One could only say she had been very well taken care of.

She obediently followed Su Bai's words and went to help her family.

She even said to Su Bai before leaving:

"Su Yi, you stay put and don't run around. I'll come back to take care of you when I'm done."

Recalling Lü Hong's tone when she left, Su Bai couldn't help but feel a little amused.

In her eyes, she seemed to be like a child.

Shaking her head, she stopped thinking about those things.

Preparing for Foundation Establishment was the top priority now.

She activated her newly set up Second-Tier Formation, the Yimu Senluo Formation.

Within the Formation, clouds and mist rose, and towering trees stretched out their branches, completely enveloping the Dao field where Su Bai was located.

Thus, the commotion of Su Bai's Breakthrough would not spread to the outside world.

Qi Refining Peak had reached its limit, with no possibility of further advancement.

But Su Bai still did not rashly Breakthrough; instead, she first sat in meditation to regulate her breath.

After a full month, confirming that her condition was perfect, she then prepared to Breakthrough.

Sitting cross-legged amidst the Qingyun Thunder Bamboo.

Su Bai inwardly observed her Dantian.

Inside, three drops of spiritual liquid floated.

This was the result of the qualitative change of all her Qi Refining Cultivation.

After Su Bai once again reviewed the preparations for Foundation Establishment in her Sea of Consciousness.

"The Formation is activated, the concealment talismans are affixed, Spirit Stones are abundant, the Gathering Spirit Array is without issue, Medicinal Pills are also plentiful…"

"Confirmed, Foundation Establishment!"

Without further hesitation, she took out a Foundation Establishment Pill and put it directly into her mouth.

As the Foundation Establishment Pill entered her mouth, Su Bai immediately felt a pure Spiritual Qi begin to spread.

Su Bai fully circulated her Cultivation Technique, guiding this Spiritual Qi.

Breaking through Foundation Establishment required passing three gates.

Essence, Qi, and Spirit.

Su Bai's Qi and blood were vigorous, having already Body Refining Second Layer.

The Essence gate was as if it didn't exist for her, breaking through directly!

The Magic Power gate, which was Qi, was indeed Su Bai's weakness, but she Cultivated the "Jade Liquid Qi Storage Inscription", which not only made her Spiritual Qi 30% more abundant than Cultivators of the same level but also allowed her to store jade liquid for healing.

Coupled with the Spirit Stones and Gathering Spirit Array around Su Bai at this time.

The Magic Power gate was also not a problem.

However, feeling the Spiritual Qi from the Foundation Establishment Pill in her body being rapidly consumed, Su Bai opened her eyes.

She took out a row of jade bottles from her Storage Pouch.

Pouring out the Medicinal Pills from the bottles, they were all Foundation Establishment Pills with pill patterns!

As long as it had pill patterns, it was a top-grade Medicinal Pill.

Su Bai had at least a hundred of them here!

She directly grabbed a handful of Foundation Establishment Pills and stuffed them into her mouth.

Her "Medicine King Canon" had already been mastered.

She was not afraid of Medicinal Pills causing resistance, nor was she worried about pill toxins.

Furthermore, with the assistance of the "Medicine King Canon", the efficacy of the Foundation Establishment Pill was raised to another level!

The Magic Power gate was directly scattered by the vast Spiritual Qi!

The remaining Spiritual Qi in her body continuously circulated through Su Bai's Meridians.

While expanding the Meridians, it was also being transformed into spiritual liquid.

The final Divine Sense gate.

It was also practically useless.

Su Bai already possessed Divine Sense.

All three gates passed.

Foundation Establishment was more than half complete.

At this point, Su Bai had intentionally stopped circulating her Cultivation Technique.

But the surrounding Spiritual Qi still surged into Su Bai's body like a tide.

It even formed a Spiritual Qi vortex around Su Bai.

Within Su Bai's Dantian, the spiritual liquid began to continuously increase under the propulsion of the remaining medicinal power of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

From three drops, it increased to four drops, five drops!

Ten drops!

Twenty drops!

Finally, it stopped at thirty drops.

It wasn't that it couldn't continue to increase.

Su Bai was well-prepared; after breaking through Foundation Establishment, her Foundation would naturally be high.

Unfortunately, the Cultivation Technique she Cultivated had limitations.

Su Bai only had one "Foundation Cultivation Qi Refining Art."

It was enough to help Su Bai Cultivate and Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

However, later, she would have to switch Cultivation Techniques.

Su Bai did have a Cultivation Technique.

The "Sword Intent Expansion Qi Art" she obtained years ago along with the "Jade Liquid Qi Storage Inscription" was it.

But it contained the Sword Nurturing Art, and Su Bai had always planned to find a Magic Treasure-grade Spirit Sword before Cultivating it.

It was just that she rarely took risks.

The probability of obtaining a Magic Treasure Opportunity was naturally as good as none.

So she hadn't had the chance to Cultivate this Cultivation Technique.

Now that she was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, this matter could be put on the agenda.

Su Bai was now full of vigor.

She had never felt so good.

Feeling the spiritual liquid in her body, she roughly estimated.

"Because I consumed a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, my Foundation is solid now, and I don't need to continue secluded cultivation."

"This is Elementary Foundation Establishment, but to Breakthrough to Middle Stage Foundation Establishment, the spiritual liquid will probably need to accumulate to about fifty to sixty drops."

She slowly exhaled.

The Breath Concealment Art began to circulate.

Su Bai had almost trained this art to be like an instinct.

With the help of the Breath Concealment Art, Su Bai's aura, which had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, began to dissipate.

The divine light in her eyes was also restrained.

Observing again, Su Bai at this moment still only appeared to be at Qi Refining Ninth Layer.

Even Lü Hong, who had been by Su Bai's side the longest.

Probably didn't know that her Su Yi was already a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, practicing both Body Refining and Cultivation, and was also at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"Next, it's time to get a Foundation Establishment Cultivation Technique, and there's one thing I've always wanted to do."

Su Bai murmured to herself.

Her attention was already on the all heavens cauldron in her Sea of Consciousness.
