Chapter 47 Reversal of Foundation Building

Seven days later, inside the cave.

Swish!

Lin Chen stood up from the hot spring, snapped his fingers, removed the remaining water droplets on his body, and stood in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror.

He has a good figure, with chest muscles, abdominal muscles, mermaid lines, etc.

This is the result of his special training. After all, a well-proportioned figure can increase his agility and flexibility, which is more advantageous in battle.

"Let's start!" Lin Chen took a deep breath, and the spiritual silk in his hand emerged, and a large amount of spiritual ink flew up, inscribing one rune after another on his body.

Then, he walked naked into a laboratory.

There were bans flashing with the spiritual light of the formation, the bright spiritual beads arranged in the direction of the Bagua formation, the incense burner emitting a lingering fragrance, and the middle-grade spiritual stone emitting a milky white light, which was quite strange.

This is the foundation-building secret method created by Lin Chen - the foundation-building transformation secret ceremony.

Buzz!

Lin Chen lay on the stage, and because he was not wearing clothes, he couldn't help feeling a chill.

"Hu——"

He exhaled lightly, relaxed his mind, and then began to slowly activate the formation.

At this critical moment, Lin Chen's thoughts drifted away.

'After all these years of research, I can confirm that the activity of spiritual energy distinguishes immortals from mortals. '

'Active spiritual energy is ever-changing and can be temporarily transformed into all things in the world due to the influence of various powerful factors. Cultivators have extraordinary abilities based on this characteristic. '

'And the dead spiritual energy is not unchanging, but it is affected by what has been transformed. It's like the human body can have fire, but it can't be converted into flames. '

'There should be a critical point between the two. Once this critical point is crossed, the dead spiritual energy will no longer react with the active spiritual energy. '

'Just like in a place with abundant spiritual energy, the land is not all spiritual soil. Some mortals have spiritual roots, while others do not. '

'The reason why cultivators cultivate immortals is because they have spiritual roots. Only active spiritual energy can affect each other, so the spiritual root refers to the part of the human body that has active spiritual energy? ’

While thinking, the spiritual energy of the world around him seemed to be attracted by something, constantly moving towards the laboratory, gradually becoming dense and forming a vortex...

‘It’s started...’ Lin Chen quickly came back to his senses and focused on what was in front of him.

I don’t know how long it took.

A large amount of spiritual energy from the world turned into a small storm in the laboratory, and it continued to pour into Lin Chen’s body from all sides.

Pain! Severe pain!

Drops of blood oozed from his body surface, and the intense pain made Lin Chen groan even with his mind.

This is the first level of foundation building, the blood and qi level!

A large amount of spiritual energy from the world is infused into the cultivator’s body. Once the body can’t support it, the foundation building will fail!

Therefore, those with aging blood and limb defects will face more dangers at this level, and the possibility of failure is even greater!

‘It’s time. ’ Lin Chen silently said in his heart, and then the true energy surged out, activating the prepared means.

Boom!

Suddenly, the spirit beads arranged in the eight directions around him emitted a huge suction force, forming anti-cyclones, forcibly weakening the spiritual vortex formed on Lin Chen's body.

Lin Chen only felt his body lighten, and the huge spiritual pressure around him began to drop rapidly, and the tearing feeling felt by his body quickly disappeared.

"Lead!"

With Lin Chen's light shout, the spiritual energy scattered around him continued to flow into his body under the traction of the runes on his body.

The total amount of spiritual energy in the body was constantly rising. Under the control of Lin Chen's true energy, a huge spiritual pressure was formed, constantly compressing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that came in from outside.

But this process was very strenuous. The total amount of external unrefined spiritual energy had far exceeded the true energy content in his body.

Even if he tried his best to control it now, he felt powerless. The risk and difficulty of this process were like using a thin rope to pull a man-eating tiger.

"Sure enough, if the true energy content in the body is not enough, even if you force the foundation, you will die because you can't control the external spiritual energy of heaven and earth." Lin Chen gritted his teeth.

"Even if I don't plan to break through from the middle stage of Qi Refining to the foundation building stage, but just want to make a leap in the spiritual energy level, it won't work..." Thinking of this, Lin Chen used his backup plan without hesitation.

The jade box that had been placed on the side was opened, revealing the hundred-year-old jadeite placed inside.

Under Lin Chen's control, half of the hundred-year-old jadeite was split out, flew above him, and then shattered directly.

The jadeite spiritual power contained in it poured into Lin Chen's body, and suddenly, the active spiritual energy of heaven and earth seemed to become lazy at this moment.

The violent and uncontrolled external spiritual energy could be controlled by Lin Chen at this moment.

"Opportunity!" Lin Chen pointed to the side.

A wisp of spiritual energy from the middle-grade spiritual stone on the side was forcibly taken out by the formation and flew into Lin Chen's body.

At the moment it entered the body, the spiritual energy that was originally scattered everywhere suddenly stopped, and then rushed to one place frantically, constantly compressing and condensing at one point!

Boom!

As time passed, there seemed to be a roaring sound in Lin Chen's ears.

At this moment, a milky white liquid with a touch of red, blue and yellow appeared in Lin Chen's Dantian.

This is liquid true essence, the symbol of a cultivator in the foundation-building stage!

However, Lin Chen knew that this was the true essence that he had forcibly condensed by using various means, and his control over it was extremely poor. If he used this to build a foundation, not only would his combat power be extremely poor, but it would also leave various hidden dangers!

"But I didn't think about building the foundation right now, but..." At this moment, Lin Chen's face suddenly became solemn.

He stretched out his hand again and pressed hard on the stage.

The spirit bead that was originally forming an anticyclone suddenly paused, and then the suction direction was reversed, constantly sucking away the spiritual energy around Lin Chen.

The unstable liquid true essence directly collapsed without sufficient spiritual energy replenishment, forming a large area of ​​spiritual mist mixed with red, blue and yellow, and quickly turned into violent spiritual energy, destroying Lin Chen's body!

Reverse the liquid true essence of the foundation-building period into mist-like true energy!

Lin Chen hurriedly took the remaining hundred-year jade marrow to stabilize the violent spiritual energy, and then reversed the formation again, absorbed the spiritual energy, and atomized it.

After such repeated pulling, Lin Chen finally succeeded in transforming the true energy in his body from gaseous to mist!

The mist-like spiritual energy was originally a change in the process of breaking through the foundation-building period, but Lin Chen stabilized it in his body through means!

"Success!" Lin Chen showed a touch of joy on his face.

This experiment was based on his research and thinking.

In addition to studying cultivation, he has been thinking.

That is, how can he surpass countless cultivators to fight for the immortal path.

The path of cultivation has always emphasized that the strong will always be strong. Only by being the best cultivator of the same level in each realm can one go further on the immortal path.

Although there are very few mediocre cultivators who can survive to the end, it is a skill for them to obtain enough cultivation resources while surviving.

Lin Chen can be sure that scientific thinking that is different from this world is his reliance on becoming an immortal.

But how to expand this advantage and even surpass others has never been a simple matter.

After all, in this world, there are never a few Tianjiao cultivators with rich cultivation resources, peerless skills that defy the sky, and terrifying talents!

For example, a cultivator with [Xuanshui Spirit Body] not only improves his water-walking skills by leaps and bounds, comparable to a cultivator with a natural spiritual root, but also cultivates a high-level Qi that is extremely sharp when fighting.

Another example is the [Taiyi Changsheng Jue], the sect-guarding method of Qingyun Sect, which not only allows cultivators to store more Qi in their bodies, but also gives them healing and regenerating Qi, greatly increasing their endurance in battle and even their lifespan.

Lin Chen has no talent or background, and although he can compete with them with the various magic tricks he has researched, this is not the essence of strength after all.

But the last observation experiment of the spiritual energy level gave him an idea.

Because Lin Chen found that the two energy levels are not like a ladder, but more like two different points on a line, which can be infinitely close.

In other words, if the Qi of the Qi Refining Stage is compared to cotton and the True Yuan of the Foundation Establishment Stage is compared to steel, then Lin Chen can transform the Qi of the Qi Refining Stage into the level of wood through means.

In practical terms, Lin Chen can forcibly break up this unstable liquid true essence and reverse it into mist true qi between true essence and true qi.

Not only can it store more true qi than cyclones, but it can also allow Lin Chen to store true qi in his body after breaking through the foundation-building period. The quality and quantity of true qi far exceeds that of cultivators who have just broken through.

In the words of the immortal cultivation world, doing so can make Lin Chen's foundation even deeper!

"Not only that, the mist true qi in my body not only far exceeds the storage capacity of cultivators of the same level, but also has enough quality to compete with the foundation-building cultivators, so as not to collapse at one blow..."

"Even when I fill the dantian with this mist true qi, I can break through directly without going through the physical body and true qi barriers."

Lin Chen smiled lightly. This experiment was a complete success. Not only did it allow him to obtain true qi and quantity far exceeding those of the same level, but it also laid a solid foundation for him to go further on the road in the future!

Not only that, now he is far superior to his peers in terms of true qi quality, reaction speed, and perception. It can be said that he is hard to beat in the same level!

"The next step is to continuously accumulate true qi, advance to the foundation-building stage as soon as possible, and explore the secrets of the golden elixir stage." Lin Chen pressed his hand, and the formation began to gradually stop.

Just as he was about to get up, his body suddenly stiffened, and his brain suddenly felt endless pain!

"What... is going on, um!" Before Lin Chen had time to figure out what happened, his brain suddenly hurt, and countless memories appeared in his mind!

The pain of breakthrough, the joy of harvest, the repetition of experimental records, the process of studying tricks, the experience of the first battle, the state of mind of awakening wisdom... Countless memories, like movie clips, replayed in his mind.

The world emitting white light, the vast chaos... At the end of the memory replay, it was the boundless, deep darkness that seemed to have no end!

Then, he saw a little light rising from the darkness!
