101: Illusion level, Zhenyuan level

What is the Dao?

At this moment, Lin Shiming stood before the Green Lotus Pond, looking around in a daze.

Beside him, Lin Shitao was sobbing uncontrollably.

She was still that timid little girl after all.

Having lost a loved one, she was crying loudly.

Second Elder Lin Yuqi was respected by all Lin Family members, even the Alchemy apprentices who had been harshly guided, now wearing their Alchemist robes, one by one on Qinglian Mountain, respectfully sending off the Second Elder.

At this moment, everyone was very devout.

And the Immortal Cave in the distance opened with a rumble.

A young man in green robes walked out as if his soul had been lost.

"Grandpa!"

A cry echoed, lingering on Fangmu Mountain.

The Great Dao is ruthless, but people have feelings!

The young man in green robes finally walked to the pavilion by the Green Lotus Pond.

He knelt down with a thud!

At this moment, he seemed to realize he was wrong.

He wanted to walk the immortal path, the strongest path of the Dao, but at this moment, he hesitated and regretted it.

On the immortal path, he didn't even get to see him one last time.

He always felt that the Family lacked an absolute powerhouse, while his Grandpa felt that the Family lacked a third-rank Alchemist, an Alchemist who could refine Foundation Establishment Pills.

"Grandpa, I know you want Shijie to become an Alchemist, but Shijie really doesn't have time. Shijie's goal in this life is to reach Foundation Establishment by forty, Late Foundation Establishment Stage by one hundred, Purple Mansion by one hundred and fifty, and Golden Core by three hundred. There really isn't much time..."

Lin Shijie clenched his fists, wanting to grasp the lingering aura in the air, but found he still couldn't.

"Those who hear the Dao are one with the Great Dao!"

"What is there to mourn, what is there to sigh about? Why don't Cultivators like us go to the end of immortal Cultivation, and witness a grand creation of heaven and earth, a cycle of life and death, and Reincarnation?" Lin Xianzhi walked out of the Immortal Cave, his words startling everyone awake.

Lin Shijie also looked at Lin Xianzhi.

After a long while, he nodded heavily.

"Continue to uphold the Dao in your heart!" Lin Xianzhi turned and left after speaking.

And Lin Shiming also left to prepare for the memorial ceremony, which was the respect due to a Family Elder.

He also needed to give Lin Shijie some alone time.

At this moment, Lin Shiming couldn't help but feel a surge of sadness, yet also a sudden enlightenment.

At this moment, he increasingly found that his Dao heart had become even firmer.

He did not want to turn into a handful of yellow earth or a wisp of dust after a hundred years.

As soon as the memorial ceremony was over, Lin Shiming distributed Family affairs to the various Family Elders and began to enter seclusion.

A death seclusion!

He would not emerge until he Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment!

The peach blossoms on Fangmu Mountain bloomed again and again, and only dense Spirit Seeking Bees were seen, but no beekeeper.

By the Green Lotus Pond, the lotus leaves grew taller day by day, verdant, and the lotus flowers bloomed and withered again, but the young man was still not seen.

Two years passed in a flash, and Lin Shiming opened his eyes.

He looked at the Spiritual Qi within him, which had been refined to the extreme and was now almost in a vaporous state.

It was already evolving into true essence.

But Lin Shiming still shook his head.

However, he wanted to pass the true essence stage in one go.

Then, Lin Shiming released the Spiritual Qi from the Heavenly Wood Heart as well.

He wanted to refine the Spiritual Qi within the Heavenly Wood Heart together.

In addition, Lin Shiming got up and went to the medicine garden again.

He saw that the xingshen flowers that had previously sprouted were now growing vigorously, blooming with vibrant flowers. The xingshen flowers were entirely peach-yellow, and Spirit Seeking Bees were collecting honey from them.

That's right, this time, Lin Shiming not only used xingshen flowers to temper his Divine Sense, but he also had Spirit Seeking Bees.

He also wanted to use the Spirit Seeking Bees to make honey, further tempering his Divine Sense.

His bee colony now had over a thousand bees, and for this purpose, a hundred Spirit Seeking Bees were specifically assigned to make xingshen flower honey.

Next to the xingshen flowers, there was a slightly smaller beehive.

At this moment, there was already half a spoon of spirit honey inside the beehive.

Lin Shiming picked the xingshen flowers from which the spirit honey had been collected and re-entered the stone chamber.

Inside the stone chamber, Lin Shiming first consumed the xingshen flower, then took it together with the spirit honey.

The moment he consumed it, Lin Shiming only felt his entire mind become terrifyingly active, and his six senses, as well as the most important Divine Sense for a Cultivator, were gradually increasing.

The limit of a Qi Refining Cultivator's Divine Sense is probably around five hundred zhang. At this moment, he saw his Divine Sense range slowly expand, and after half an hour, it stopped at five hundred and ten zhang.

At this moment, he used his Divine Sense to control the refinement of his magical power, and found that the refinement, which had previously reached its limit, had improved slightly.

So, for the next six months, he continuously consumed xingshen flowers and spirit honey while continuing to refine his magical power.

In addition to his own magical power, the magical power within the Heavenly Wood Heart was also quietly becoming more solid.

On this day, Lin Shiming used up the last xingshen flower and suddenly opened his eyes.

His Divine Sense expanded, and within a full eight hundred zhang, every blade of grass and every tree was clearly visible.

In addition to the progress of his Divine Sense, his magical power, both within the Heavenly Wood Heart and his own, was almost semi-liquefied.

Even his five Meridians and eight channels had become thicker.

"The time has come!"

Lin Shiming murmured happily, but he did not immediately Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.

Instead, he fell into a deep sleep at his bedside. Three years of refining Spiritual Qi, even with the rapid progress of his Divine Sense, he still needed a thorough relaxation.

He always believed that Cultivation was better with a balance of tension and relaxation.

At dawn the next day, Lin Shiming woke from his sleep and once again circulated the Purple Wood Heart Sutra.

After two full great circulations, when his entire essence, Qi, and spirit reached a critical point, he finally took a deep breath.

He took out a Foundation Establishment Pill and swallowed it.

As Lin Shiming controlled the Spiritual Qi to continue compressing and transforming into true essence.

He seemed to fall into his memories, from before the Transmigration to after the Transmigration, every single detail, like a mirror.

One scene shattered, turning into the next.

In his youth, he passed the college entrance examination as the top student in the province, and his entire Family rejoiced, with relatives coming to celebrate.

A coolness came to his mind, and he sighed, he did not take the college entrance examination, that was his regret, and it was just a dream.

The scene shattered!

In his prime, he succeeded in starting a business, with news reports everywhere, posters, broadcasts, and he became famous throughout the land!

A coolness came to his mind, and he was silent, his life was full of code, boring and tedious! If there was a next life, he would start a business.

The scene shattered!

After the Transmigration, he became a Heavenly Spiritual Root of the Li Family, envied by countless Cultivators, and doted on by countless Elders.

Foundation Establishment Cultivators protected his Dao, Purple Mansion Cultivators taught him the Dao, and Golden Core was within reach!

This time, there was no need for coolness, he was angry, there would definitely be a day when he would tear the Li Family apart!

...Scene after scene shattered, Lin Shiming was either happy or sad, angry or sorrowful.

When he woke up, most of his body's Spiritual Qi had also transformed into true essence.

Lin Shiming instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

He didn't expect that while it was an illusionary stage, it was also a true essence stage.

No wonder if the refinement of Spiritual Qi and magical power was not up to par, and one forcibly Breakthrough without a Foundation Establishment Pill, one would only meet with death.

Because in the illusionary stage, you simply can't stop.

By the time the true essence bursts through the Meridians, you are left only with regret.

Lin Shiming let out a soft shout and continued to accelerate the true essence transformation.

However, this process was extremely long; one should know that for an ordinary Qi Refining Cultivator to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, it takes at least half a year, and as long as one or two years!

And one should know that Lin Shiming, in addition to his own magical power, also had a Heavenly Wood Heart.

Furthermore, according to the secret method, when Lin Shiming Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, the Heavenly Wood Heart would also transform into a spirit platform, meaning Lin Shiming would have two spirit platforms.
