38: Chapter 38 After eight months of seclusion, Foundation Establishment was successfully achieved.

In the Underwater Cave, Li Luochen quickly harvested the three types of Spirit Medicine here, and a mechanical voice rang out in his mind.

"Ding, congratulations to the host's Family for diligently farming, harvesting two hundred stalks of First-Order High Grade crystal flower, valued at six thousand Spirit Stones. The farming reward conditions have been met; rewarded with a threefold increase in crystal flower production."

"Ding, congratulations to the host's Family for diligently farming, harvesting two hundred stalks of First-Order High Grade sea soul grass, valued at six thousand Spirit Stones. The farming reward conditions have been met, sea soul grass critical hit successful; rewarded with five bottles of premium Water Spirit Pill."

"Ding, congratulations to the host's Family for diligently farming, harvesting one hundred and ninety stalks of First-Order High Grade Water Spirit Ganoderma, valued at nine thousand five hundred Spirit Stones. The farming reward conditions have been met, Water Spirit Ganoderma critical hit successful; rewarded with three bottles of premium Essence Boosting Pill."

Li Luochen felt a bit helpless. The premium Water Spirit Pill was fine; it offered great benefits to Cultivators at Qi Refining Stage 7 or higher who practiced water-attribute Cultivation Technique.

Five bottles meant fifty pills, enough to allow a Qi Refining Stage 7 Cultivator practicing a water-attribute Cultivation Technique to Cultivate up to the Qi Refining 9th Layer.

The premium Essence Boosting Pill was a Second-Order Low Grade Medicinal Pill, a pill used by Cultivators at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment to increase their Cultivation.

It seemed the System knew he intended to make a Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage, and had already prepared the Medicinal Pill for stabilizing his Cultivation for him.

After putting away these Spirit Medicines, Li Luochen set up the Azure Wave Water Sword Formation Plate, then sat cross-legged in the Underwater Cave, intending to make a Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

He had Transmigrated to this world for forty-one years; having entered the world of Cultivation at eighteen, he was now fifty-nine years old.

From the moment he first bound the System to the establishment of the Li Family, a full thirty years had passed, and only the subsequent ten years were spent on the development of the Li Family.

Now, Li Luochen was finally about to make a Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Only by breaking through this Realm could one be considered a true Cultivator, capable of living up to three hundred years.

Li Luochen first took out a drop of essence spirit true liquid and swallowed it, then took out a premium foundation establishment pill and swallowed it, before circulating the Five Elements True Spirit Art to refine the foundation establishment pill and the essence spirit true liquid.

Inside his Dantian, circles of magic power surrounding the Origin magic power continuously absorbed the medicinal potency of the foundation establishment pill, rapidly compressing it.

At the same time, the essence spirit true liquid was also continuously being refined; one part protected the Dantian, while another part fiercely compressed the magic power.

Meanwhile, in Li Luochen's Sea of Consciousness, his illusory Divine Soul began to condense, and his Divine Sense expanded along with the condensation of his Divine Soul.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, two months had gone by. The magic power in Li Luochen's Dantian had been compressed to the extreme, but it was still far from liquefaction.

Besides that, the Divine Soul in his mind had taken on a somewhat human shape; although it was still in an illusory state, it was no longer like a wisp of smoke as it had been before.

But at this moment, the foundation establishment pill and essence spirit true liquid that Li Luochen had ingested had been completely refined.

He did not hesitate in the slightest, taking out another premium foundation establishment pill and a drop of essence spirit true liquid to swallow.

With the refinement of the premium foundation establishment pill, the magic power that had originally been compressed to the extreme finally transformed into liquid magic power.

Li Luochen looked inward at his Dantian, staring in surprise at that single drop of liquid magic power; he hadn't expected that after such a large mass of magic power liquefied, only a single drop would remain.

However, he also understood that this drop of magic power was the Origin magic power of the Foundation Establishment Stage, the foundation of his Cultivation, and it could not be used unless absolutely necessary.

At this moment, although Li Luochen could be considered to have broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, he had not yet cultivated usable magic power and absolutely could not leave seclusion.

The remaining medicinal potency of the foundation establishment pill and the essence spirit true liquid was continuously refined, and soon a new drop of liquid magic power formed beside the first drop of liquid magic power.

As soon as this liquid magic power was born, it continuously revolved around the Origin magic power within the Dantian.

Soon, a second, third, and fourth drop of liquid magic power appeared around the Origin magic power, slowly rotating with the Origin magic power as the center.

By the time the medicinal potency of the foundation establishment pill and essence spirit true liquid in his body was completely refined, the liquid magic power rotating around the Origin magic power in his Dantian had reached eight drops.

Meanwhile, in his Sea of Consciousness, his Divine Soul had transformed into a transparent human figure, though its specific features could not be seen clearly.

Li Luochen released his Divine Sense, which spread out in all directions, actually reaching a range of three hundred meters.

At this moment, Li Luochen's Cultivation was finally stabilized at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment.

After completely stabilizing his Cultivation, Li Luochen stopped his cultivation, opened his eyes, and calculated the time; this period of secluded cultivation had actually taken eight months.

Without the slightest delay, he quickly rose, dismantled the Azure Wave Water Sword Formation Plate in the Immortal Cave, and flew out of the Underwater Cave.

Immediately afterward, he was seen taking out a Spirit Absorption Talisman and instantly throwing it toward the bottom of the Immortal Cave.

"Boom!"

Just as the Spirit Absorption Talisman touched the Spiritual Vein, it was instantly sucked into the talisman.

Li Luochen waved his hand, and the Spirit Absorption Talisman flew out. He quickly grabbed the Spirit Absorption Talisman and flew toward the direction of Hidden Dragon Island.

Li Luochen already had a general idea of where to place this First-Order High Grade Spiritual Vein.

He still had an Island Relocation Talisman, which could directly shift Hidden Dragon Island and Youlong Island together, or shift other large islands over.

But his Cultivation was too weak right now, and he did not intend to do that.

At the very least, he would have to wait until his Cultivation broke through to the Early Stage of Golden Core before he would be qualified to do such a thing; otherwise, moving islands would certainly be discovered by other Cultivators.

However, if he waited until his Cultivation broke through to the Golden Core Stage, he wouldn't even need an Island Relocation Talisman for islands like Hidden Dragon Island and Youlong Island; he could move them by relying on the powerful magic power of the Golden Core Stage.

On Hidden Dragon Island, as soon as Li Luochen returned, he saw Li Yanshu playing in the courtyard.

It had to be said that this little girl was worthy of being an Innate Sword Body; she was only a little over a year old and was already holding a wooden sword, refusing to let go.

As soon as Li Luochen entered the courtyard, he was spotted by the little girl, who trotted over to him on her short little legs, the wooden sword in her hand never leaving her grasp.

"Daddy! Daddy!"

Li Luochen scooped up the little girl and said with a smile, "Good daughter, have you been behaving well?"

Li Yanshu nodded rapidly and said, "I've been very good!"

Inside the room, Zhou Xin walked out. Seeing Li Luochen, she hurriedly asked, "Husband, you're back? Have you finished handling everything you needed to do this time out?"

No one knew that Li Luochen had been in seclusion in the Underwater Cave making a Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage; everyone thought he was cultivating in the Underwater Cave.

After all, for the past few years, Li Luochen had been using the Heaven-Covering Technique to conceal his aura, keeping his Cultivation at the Qi Refining 9th Layer.

It was just that it had changed from initially just entering the Qi Refining 9th Layer to now being at the Peak of the Qi Refining 9th Layer, which did not arouse the suspicion of his clansmen.

The Li Family was still too weak, and he did not intend to let the news of his Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage spread; otherwise, the surrounding Foundation Establishment forces would feel threatened.

If the Li Family were merely a Qi Refining Family, even if they had a few more Cultivators at the Qi Refining 10th Layer, it wouldn't attract the attention of Foundation Establishment Families. But if a Foundation Establishment expert appeared, they would not be able to sit still.

There were only so many spirit islands in the Beimen Archipelago, and islands possessing a Second-Order Spiritual Vein were few and far between.

Especially within the jurisdiction of the Qingsha Sect, Second-Order Spiritual Veins were extremely rare. If a Foundation Establishment expert were to rise, they certainly wouldn't be thinking about cultivating a Second-Order Spiritual Vein themselves.

After all, cultivating a Second-Order Spiritual Vein was not easy; it not only required a very long time but also a large amount of Spirit Stones and Formations.

Since there was no way to Cultivate a Second-Order Spiritual Vein, they could only snatch Spiritual Veins from other forces.

Therefore, the various surrounding Foundation Establishment forces were very wary of the birth of other Foundation Establishment forces.

Unless Li Luochen's Cultivation was extremely powerful, he would not dare to expose the fact that he had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
