He hastily refined the elixir, forgetting the years.
Outside the Xuanbi Cave, numerous spiritual herbs grow vigorously and lushly.
The cave entrance had not been opened for a long time and was covered with a layer of dust, making it look somewhat old.
Inside the cave, there was a protective array, yet everything was spotless and pristine.
Inside the alchemy room, Fang Qing gazed at the three large, azure pills lined up before him, his expression unreadable, only letting out a sigh: "Three?"
During this period of time, he has been constantly studying the alchemical texts of the two realms and has tried to add many unique ancient Shu Qi-absorbing spiritual items, such as the [Jishui], to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.
After numerous failures, out of eight Foundation Establishment Pills, only three were successfully refined using the "flat" method!
"Based on various methods of assessment, it should possess some of the effects of the Dao Foundation Pill, and it leans towards the [Ji Water] and [Zhen Water] ————"
"As for the actual effect, we'll only know after taking the medicine—the only thing that can be confirmed is that even if it has no effect, it's at least harmless and will even protect the meridians of the cultivator who practices Qi cultivation—"
"With my second-tier physique, plus the marrow cleansing and tendon-strengthening treatment I underwent during Foundation Establishment, I shouldn't die and perish if I fail to forge my Dao foundation—"

'
"If all else fails, I still have the Dao Life Pearl as a last resort, which can completely neutralize the rampaging magic power—"
"Furthermore, the Dao Foundation Pill leans towards the Ji and Zhen directions—I can try to forge my Dao Foundation using the 'Book of Viewing the Black Tomb,' which offers a higher degree of certainty!"
Fang Qing took three self-produced Dao Foundation Pills and entered the secluded cultivation room to quietly adjust his state.
He had already transformed his magical power, and now, with his cultivation at the ninth level of the "Book of Viewing the Black Tomb," he only needed to slightly activate it to cause a gentle breeze to howl and a clear spring to gush from the ground.
"The foundation of the Dao is the most mysterious of all—"
"The Dao is the origin of Heaven and Earth, the source of all things. It is mysterious and profound, indescribable, yet contains boundless wonders—by uniting the human body with Heaven and Earth, one can control the changes of the six qi—"
It is also said: "The Dao begins with one, is established in three, is completed in five, flourishes in seven, and resides in nine. Therefore, the distance between heaven and earth is ninety thousand miles—the ten stars between the nine trigrams, which combine the Dao of heaven and earth and understand the changes of Yin and Yang, are called the foundation of immortality."
Fang Qing was lost in thought, various ancient Shu Dao scriptures he had read surfaced in his mind.
Without further hesitation, he swallowed a self-refined Dao Foundation Pill and circulated the [Ji Water] magic power within his body.
"I observe the Black Tomb, where there is a spring—yin and yin combine to create, flowing still to its extreme, combining the wonders of the mutual generation of Kan and Li—the body feels as light as a feather, the clothes do not get wet, and the qi is formed, then it permeates the whole body—entering the Heavenly Gate of Meditation, passing through the twelve-story tower, combining the golden essence and jade liquid, the foundation of immortality is established—"
In an instant, boundless [Ji Shui] magical power surged within Fang Qing's dantian and sea of qi, penetrating through the twelve-story tower, causing a sharp pain in his meridians, boiling blood and essence, and making him feel quite weak.
With a thought, he opened his mouth and inhaled, and the other two Dao Foundation Pills instantly entered his mouth, transforming into a rolling, mysterious aura that fell into his dantian, merging with his magical power to form a foundation for immortality.
Once this foundation for immortality was established, Fang Qing had a sudden realization: "The Dao Foundation of [Ji Shui]—Long-lasting Sweet Rain!"
"The sweet rain is a divine blessing bestowed by heaven, a wondrous and mysterious force. When it arrives, clouds roll across the sky, and the wind whispers across the vast fields. At first, it is like a light silk thread, fine and dense as silk, nourishing all things silently—gradually, it is like a beaded curtain, fluttering and dancing, irrigating the fields in a dream. Wherever it falls, withered crops turn green again, withered leaves flourish once more, the demons of drought vanish, and parched earth is moistened—"
"What a welcome and timely rain!"
Inside the secret room, Fang Qing suddenly opened his eyes.
Splash!
A gentle breeze blows, and a clear spring gushes forth from the ground.
"That's it?!"
He touched his cheek, then suddenly smiled: "It wasn't too difficult, despite all my thorough preparation."
After calculating the time again, a thought suddenly struck him: "I've been in seclusion for a year? It feels like I forged my immortal foundation in the blink of an eye?"
Upon realizing this, he was immediately filled with emotion: "At fifty this year, I have finally laid the foundation for my spiritual path!"
This distortion of time made Fang Qing realize that if he were missing a Foundation Pill, things might have changed today.
Moreover, he used his family's most profound and refined "Ji Water" to build his foundation for Taoism.
This illustrates just how difficult it is to establish a foundation for the Dao!
"The ancient Shu Road's enduring sweet rain," in the realm of Qi cultivation, is almost comparable to a supernatural power, only its power is slightly insufficient, therefore it can be called a pseudo-supernatural power!
Fang Qing carefully experienced the differences between Foundation Establishment cultivators and Foundation Foundation Cultivators.
"Yes, my Long-lasting Sweet Rain Divine Power possesses many mysteries. It allows one to ride waves as if walking on flat ground, and it can also purify water by turning turbidity into clarity—at the same time, it is also a very powerful healing divine power. When transformed into sweet rain, its effects are no less than those of a second-tier Muscle Regeneration and Bone Healing Pill—but compared to the consumption of a second-tier pill, this fundamental mystery only requires the consumption of mana!"
Finally, it also has the effect of nourishing all things, promoting the growth of spiritual plants, and turning withered plants into thriving ones.
"Overall, this pseudo-divine ability of the Immortal Foundation leans towards healing and logistics—its overall destructive power is not high."
"Even so, it greatly enhances a cultivator's abilities. Although I am currently only at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment realm, I am not afraid of ordinary mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators."
"What's even more wonderful is that it can transform spring water—which is of great benefit to my water-based alchemy."
Having laid the foundation for his Dao, Fang Qing was in high spirits.
At this moment, as he looked inward at his own Dao-Born Pearl, he had a strange feeling.
"this----"
Fang Qing's heart stirred, and the Dao Life Pearl spun around, generating both pure and turbid energies, creating a magnificent and colorful scene, instantly dissolving the Dao Foundation of the "Long-lasting Sweet Dew"!
"As expected—the Dao-Born Pearl can even destroy the Dao Foundation!"
His face was filled with horror. Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he transformed his magic power into the "Whale Swallowing the Vast Ocean Technique"!
The next instant, the Dao Sheng Pearl exhaled the mysterious energy transformed from the "Long-lasting Sweet Dew," which landed in Fang Qing's dantian and transformed into another kind of Dao foundation.
"This is—the foundation of the [Zhen Shui] Dao—'Position Approaching the Abyss'?"
Fang Qing's eyes widened: "The Dao-Born Pearl can actually transform the Dao? This—this—this is completely illogical—so as long as I break through to the Dao Foundation, it's a permanent proof? And I can transform it at will? What kind of immense power is this?"
He was horrified, and then suddenly realized that the world in which his family had actually been reincarnated was the ancient Shu!
"So—Ancient Shu was my true world? This Dao-Generating Pearl is so perfectly suited to the Dao of Qi Cultivation?"
Fang Qing observed the position of Lin Yuan, and immediately a continuous stream of [Zhen Shui] cultivation gathered in his heart.
"It's better to weave a net than to stand by the water and envy the fish—this principle enhances movement skills, allowing one to traverse dangerous terrain with even greater prowess!"
"This is just the most basic mystery of the Dao Foundation; there seems to be much more to be explored—for example, retreating to weave a net, somewhat reminiscent of divination and supernatural powers, capable of weaving a web of destiny? Causing cultivators to unknowingly fall into its trap?"
Fang Qing gradually came to understand that cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage were also divided into early, middle, and late stages.
The distinction between these realms, besides the strength of magical power, should be based on the development of one's own Dao foundation!
After all, he had read the Purple Mansion Technique, "Heavenly Escape Sword Manual," and knew that the key to breaking through to the Purple Mansion realm lay in "sublimating the Dao Foundation into Divine Power"!
"Cultivation, cultivation, using the false to cultivate the true—the process of cultivating pseudo-divine abilities of the Dao Foundation into true divine abilities is the path from the Dao Foundation to the Purple Mansion—"
""
Fang Qing's mind raced, and suddenly he made another hand seal.
The power of [Zhenshui] transformed again, becoming the sharp sword energy of [Loujin]!
Qin Ruxue had previously sent him the [Loujin] True Qi, and he had naturally already mastered the [Heavenly Escape Sword Technique] using it.
At this moment, the Dao Sheng Pearl spun around, and the Dao Foundation of "Wei Lin Yuan" instantly changed. A ray of golden light appeared in his dantian, which was the "Lou Jin" Dao Foundation - Sharp Radiance Chapter!
This profound technique requires a flying sword to enhance its sharpness, allowing it to traverse the heavens and earth, covering hundreds of miles to deliver a decapitated enemy.
"An offensive Dao foundation!"
Fang Qing was overjoyed: "With this foundation, and another flying sword, I'm afraid even Cui Zhe would be defeated in a sword fight—he could contend with a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator!"
He immediately frowned: "But with so much primordial energy being transformed, have you already begun to utilize the liquid mana reserves of the 'Azure Sea Technique'?"
Fang Qing's true self-cultivation was based on the Dao foundation of the "Viewing the Black Tomb Book," and its magical power quality was far inferior to that of the Purple Mansion Technique, the "Heavenly Escape Sword Art." Therefore, it was definitely not enough after the transformation and needed to be supplemented by external Yuan Qi.
"But the real big prize is this—"
A slight smile appeared on his lips, his hands formed a mudra, he sat cross-legged, and he chanted the secret mantra of Vairocana Buddha, visualizing the Great Mudra of Vairocana's Perfect Initiation in his mind.
The Great Sun Initiation Secret Technique was suddenly activated.
In an instant, not only the [Lou Jin] magic power of the Heavenly Escape Sword Technique, but also all the liquid magic power transformed from the Azure Sea Technique was completely converted, barely enough to forge the Dao Foundation—"Yao Lingxuan"!
"The Radiant Spirit is the essence of the sun's soul, the brilliance of celestial splendor. Its radiance shines brightly across the nine heavens, burning clouds and boiling seas to demonstrate its might—"
"So this 'Great Sun Initiation Secret Technique' belongs to the [Star Sun] lineage!"
"The 'Star Sun' represents the yang energy at the zenith, possessing boundless power and close affinity with the essence of fire—it is the sun's proper position!"
Fang Qing felt the cultivation he had gained from comprehending the Dao Foundation and slightly circulated the "Radiant Spirit Blaze".
In an instant, a sun appeared in the secret room!
There are two suns in the sky!
The radiant light of the great sun enveloped everything, dispelling all evil spirits, demonic energy, and ghostly aura. It even transformed everything, causing stubborn rocks to nod and draw near to the great sun—"What a powerful and domineering foundation!"
Fang Qing was startled and immediately stopped.
"This Yao Lingxuan's Dao foundation is extremely domineering, possessing a special ability to counter all demonic and evil arts, and also has a strong psychological suggestion effect, capable of enslaving people without their knowledge."
He transformed back into the power of the "Azure Sea Technique," and the scene of "two suns in one day" in the secret chamber instantly vanished.
On the ground, there were several translucent stones, with flames seemingly burning inside.
"This is—a [Star Sun] spirit item? Its cultivation level?"
"Shaped like stone, with fire inside—it should be the Li Huo Stone," which is quite rare. It could be traded for a lot of things in ancient Shu.
.
Fang Qing was somewhat amused and exasperated, but she still carefully put them away, then sat cross-legged and pondered silently:
Now that I've broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, the Dao-Born Pearl can transform my Foundation Establishment. If I were to one day reach the Purple Mansion stage, wouldn't I be able to transform even my supernatural powers? In that wretched place of Ancient Shu—I would truly be invincible.
But considering the twelve [yearly officials], and the Kitchen God and other Golden Core True Lords—they can probably only reign supreme in the lower realms of cultivation—keep a low profile, keep a low profile!
However, what is certain is that once I, [Ji Shui], break through to the Great Realm of Qi Absorption, the Dao-Born Pearl can forcibly elevate the cultivation levels of different Dao lineages such as [Zhen Shui], [Lou Jin], and [Xing Ri] to the same level. However—cultivating them will still be very difficult.
He had just tried it and found that only the "Whale Swallowing the Vast Ocean Technique" of the [Zhenshui] sect could be cultivated after the foundation was laid; the other techniques, such as [Loujin] and [Xingri], were still difficult to improve.
This is similar to my cultivation path. I have a mid-grade water elemental root, so I cling to the "Azure Sea Technique." If I were to cultivate a fire-attribute technique, it would definitely be as slow as a tortoise's pace. However, if I were to actually cultivate a fire-attribute technique, converting mana to establish a foundation would be effortless; it's just that further progress would be equally difficult.
Therefore, I will still focus on cultivating the virtue of water in the future—all other cultivation methods will rely on the transformation of the Dao-generated pearl.
Once I reach the Water Virtue Purple Mansion, then I'll be at the Yin-Yang Five Virtue Purple Mansion? Uh—it seems I'm quite adaptable, but I'm still the kind of person who can be easily defeated by the [Yearly Officer]—
