95: Finally, the foundation was established.

The runes on these two Refined Corpses were still the original ones; they hadn't changed at all.

Because of this, controlling them felt a bit clunky.

'If I make my own Refined Corpses using my upgraded Corpse Refining Art...'

'Then the Refined Corpses will definitely be much more flexible!'

After tidying everything up, Gu Changan felt mentally exhausted.

During this period in Panlong City, his nerves had been constantly taut, and he had been walking on eggshells.

Now, he had finally obtained the foundation establishment pill and counter-killed them.

His heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled!

Gu Changan fell into a deep sleep, but before sleeping, he released the Twin Soul Vengeful Infant from the supreme grade hundred soul banner to watch over the place.

To protect his personal safety.

He didn't wake up from his slumber until noon the next day, feeling reluctant to leave his dreams.

The whole person felt refreshed and clear-headed!

Next was step-by-step cultivation: bathing in purple qi in the morning and swallowing top-grade spirit nurturing pills!

Then, using Treasure Qi for body tempering and swallowing top-grade body tempering pills!

His physical strength changed noticeably, and his skin became tough.

When a hard object was scraped across his skin, it only left a white mark.

His cultivation base also grew day by day, consuming four top-grade qi gathering pills every day.

After twenty days of steady cultivation like this, the Spiritual Qi in the cave suddenly surged, and a wave of fluctuations appeared.

Gu Changan opened his eyes: "It hasn't been easy!"

"Finally, the 12th level of Qi Refining!"

"At this rate, Qi Refining Perfection is just around the corner!"

Gu Changan stood up and stretched his muscles. He originally thought about going for a walk in Panlong City or continuing south.

But thinking that he was only at the Qi Refining Stage and that his life would only be guaranteed once he reached the Foundation Establishment Stage...

He calmed his heart again and cultivated for another 40 days.

This morning, after absorbing the purple qi, he felt full of energy.

He then began to swallow a top-grade qi gathering pill, but his Dantian felt a burst of swelling; he couldn't refine even a sliver more of Spiritual Qi!

Gu Changan had finally reached Qi Refining Stage Perfection.

After all the twists and turns along the way, he was finally about to establish his foundation.

He then took out the foundation establishment pill he had auctioned earlier. It was pitted and lumpy; anyone who didn't know better would think it was a counterfeit product.

Gu Changan knew this was a low-grade foundation establishment pill.

He then placed it into the treasure gathering basin and used Orange Treasure Qi to begin the upgrade.

The result was self-evident; the finished product was practically a work of art!

The top-grade foundation establishment pill was only the size of a thumb, with twelve patterns on it, covered in a white halo!

Those twelve patterns were pill veins!

The white halo represented abundant spirituality. If this pill were carefully stored, it might even birth sentience after a long time!

Gu Changan felt somewhat emotional; that low-grade foundation establishment pill had cost him 50,000 Spirit Stones.

So, what about this one?

Wouldn't a top-grade foundation establishment pill cost 500,000 Spirit Stones?

And one might not even be able to buy it?

Gu Changan shook his head. Thinking about how his Low-grade Five-Element Spiritual Root consumed much more Spiritual Qi than others...

A single top-grade foundation establishment pill probably wouldn't be enough for him to establish his foundation.

Even if its medicinal power was several times that of a low-grade foundation establishment pill and it had no pill toxins!

Gu Changan began to continue replicating, only stopping after he had roughly replicated five top-grade foundation establishment pills.

'With five like this—one for each of my spiritual roots—it should be enough!'

Gu Changan stood on the mountain peak overlooking all living things. After half a day of adjustment, he brought his state of mind to its peak.

Only then did he return to the Immortal Cave.

He carefully took out a top-grade foundation establishment pill and placed it in his mouth.

He felt the top-grade foundation establishment pill melt the moment it entered his mouth.

A massive amount of Spiritual Qi flooded his body, nourishing every meridian, drop of blood, and bone.

Gu Changan felt as if his entire body was soaking in warm water, feeling warm and cozy.

Then, the Spiritual Qi began to crash around inside his body. Although his body had already reached the hardness of an ordinary weapon...

He still felt some pain.

Gu Changan hurriedly controlled the Spiritual Qi in his Meridians, beginning to compress it toward his Dantian.

Then, the five types of Spiritual Qi in his Dantian became clearly demarcated.

They began to rotate continuously, undergoing extreme compression.

The first drop of liquid appeared, dripping into the center of the Dantian.

Then the second drop, the third drop!

All the Spiritual Qi in his body began to continuously liquefy and gather in the Dantian.

The five spiritual qi vortexes in the Dantian did not change, except that beneath them were five pools of liquid of different colors.

As the liquid continued to increase, the Spiritual Qi in Gu Changan's body gradually became exhausted.

Gu Changan seized the right moment, picked up the second top-grade foundation establishment pill, and put it in his mouth.

Then, it began to rain again under the spiritual qi vortexes in the Dantian.

After a while, the Spiritual Qi was exhausted once more!

Gu Changan followed the familiar path, and just like that, he swallowed all five top-grade foundation establishment pills in succession.

The five attributes of spiritual liquid in the Dantian surrounded the perimeter of the Dantian, clearly separated.

When a normal person establishes their foundation—whether they have a Heavenly Spiritual Root, Earthly Spiritual Root, Dual Spiritual Roots, or Triple Spiritual Roots...

They would choose the primary Spiritual Root they Cultivate to use for the breakthrough.

Naturally, after the breakthrough, the Dantian would mainly contain the Spiritual Qi of that Spiritual Root.

Most people wouldn't dare use two types of Spiritual Qi for a breakthrough because that would be many times more difficult.

The Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth was already thin, and they would have to absorb two types for the breakthrough.

Two types of Spiritual Qi were also difficult to control in the Dantian and were prone to conflict.

But Gu Changan was different; a Low-grade Five-Element Spiritual Root meant five types of Spiritual Qi.

Now, the five types of Spiritual Qi formed a circle according to the cycle of mutual generation and inhibition.

However, at the five points of the circle, five spiritual qi vortexes were gathered.

This meant that Gu Changan could now use each type of Spiritual Qi individually to attack.

He could also use the combined integration of the five types of Spiritual Qi on the circle to attack.

Of course, the integration of five types of Spiritual Qi was bound to be much more powerful than the original single attributes.

Gu Changan observed the changes inside his Dantian.

Slowly, the changes in the Dantian settled into calmness, and all the Spiritual Qi had turned into a liquid state.

Gu Changan felt that his Foundation Establishment was likely successful.

Unexpectedly, the spiritual liquid in the Dantian began to feed back into his Physical Body.

Then, from top to bottom, it passed through his internal organs and reached his brain.

After the brain underwent a series of strengthening, his Soul suddenly jolted.

Gu Changan could see his surroundings clearly even with his eyes closed.

Gu Changan muttered to himself: "Is this the birth of Divine Sense?"

"I've already produced Divine Sense at the Foundation Establishment Early-stage?"

"It seems that cultivating the Purple Sun Soul Refining Art for so many days was very effective!"

Gu Changan laughed heartily and began to continuously test his Divine Sense.

It could penetrate the nearby rock layers, but only to a distance of about one foot.

The distance covered by his Divine Sense was only about three zhang, but this was already enough to decide a battle.

When fighting others, as long as they made any small movements, he could clearly perceive them.

After succeeding in Foundation Establishment, Gu Changan didn't get up immediately. Instead, he grabbed a handful of top-grade qi gathering pills and stuffed them into his mouth.

To continue consolidating his cultivation base!

The top-grade qi gathering pills were falling a bit behind, but he would upgrade them later!

His main priority was consolidating his cultivation base!

What Gu Changan didn't know was that the sky outside had also become lively!
