392: If you have a poor constitution, you can only rely on hard work later in life.

The Five Elements Dao Lineage is also known as the Immortal Foundation Dao Lineage, or the Immortal Foundation Golden Core Path.

Because its Legacy has existed for too long and spread too widely, it has many names, but all these different names refer to the same Cultivation Dao Lineage.

Cultivating this Dao Lineage requires Spirit Nurturing and Qi Refining, then forging an Immortal Foundation, and after supporting the Immortal Foundation, forming a Core and then shattering it to become a Nascent Soul.

The Immortal Foundation is the core of the entire Cultivation system.

Once the Immortal Foundation is determined, the subsequent Dao path is also set.

Therefore, an Immortal Foundation that is almost without difficulty and does not correspond to various Divine Abilities is also called a "Mortal Foundation."

Establishing a Mortal Foundation means the Dao path is completely cut off, and Immortal Ascension is hopeless.

After achieving an Immortal Foundation, if one wishes to progress further, they can transform the Immortal Foundation into a Divine Ability, thereby possessing the Innate Divine Power most suitable for them. This Divine Ability has no Cultivation difficulty for any Cultivator.

Precisely because the Immortal Foundation makes Divine Ability Cultivation effortless, Golden Core Cultivators developed a convenient method for Cultivating Divine Abilities… 'eating' the Immortal Foundation.

When a Cultivator achieves an Immortal Foundation, they have already completed the most difficult step of the corresponding Divine Ability.

Then another Cultivator can directly "eat" the Immortal Foundation to continue this Dao path, achieving the corresponding Divine Ability with simple Cultivation.

Such an easy Cultivation method is simply a Veteran Player's favorite.

After weighing the pros and cons, Li Changfeng also chose this miraculous method passed down through generations, planning to 'eat' Immortal Foundations to quickly gather five Divine Abilities and then attempt Core Formation to Nascent Soul.

However, he also knew that while the miraculous method of continuation was easy, it would significantly reduce the probability of breaking through to Nascent Soul.

After all, 'eating' an Immortal Foundation skips the most difficult steps of Divine Ability Cultivation, meaning that the five great Innate Divine Powers have not fully integrated into one's body, thus not reaching their optimal state.

Therefore, to achieve a Breakthrough using the miraculous method of continuation, other means must be employed, such as specially refined Medicinal Pills, or the dietary supplements Li Changfeng is currently choosing.

By combining Medicinal Pills and dietary supplements with 'eating' the Immortal Foundation, one can largely avoid the drawbacks of the miraculous method of continuation and achieve a Breakthrough.

Li Changfeng even chose the meat of a fourth-grade Spirit Beast, so even if it's not entirely foolproof, the success rate will definitely be higher than fifty percent.

The only problem was that if Immortal Master Kumu knew the specific Immortal Foundation he needed, and if it were tampered with, not only would the Breakthrough be hopeless, but he might also be controlled even after dying and experiencing Rebirth.

Immortal Master Kumu saw Li Changfeng hesitate and said,

"True Man Changfeng, you know very well that using the miraculous method of continuation to seek a Nascent Soul Breakthrough is itself a shortcut, and the success rate is not high.

"It was only through your careful planning that you obtained fourth-grade Spirit Beast meat, significantly increasing your chances of Breakthrough.

"You should also know that such Opportunities are rare."

Immortal Master Kumu walked out of the kitchen, stood in the Newbie Village, looked up at the sky, and pointed a finger at the clouds high above.

Li Changfeng's expression was uncertain.

He knew what Immortal Master Kumu meant.

The Cloud-Swallowing Whale had been suspended high in the sky since the players trapped it last time, never landing, and the fierce winds around it made it impossible for players to approach.

To lure an expert of Nascent Soul level like Feng Chuan again, it would be unknown how long they would have to wait for an Opportunity.

As for asking the state-stabilizing seal for help… Li Changfeng didn't think he had that much influence.

As Immortal Master Kumu said, at this stage of the game, anything below fifth-grade could no longer be considered a treasure; for them, it was readily available.

Fifth-grade items were still rare, but not impossible to acquire repeatedly.

However, fourth-grade treasures were truly precious; each acquisition involved some serendipitous Opportunity and could not be replicated.

Meat from the Cloud-Swallowing Whale, for example, was extremely difficult to obtain, and most of it wasn't even fourth-grade; only a small refined portion was considered fourth-grade and usable.

Such good things must be properly processed in conjunction with the Immortal Foundation to be consumed, cooked with the best auxiliary ingredients.

Li Changfeng understood this principle but was still hesitating.

Ultimately, he didn't trust Immortal Master Kumu very much.

Or rather, among the current player community, very few could trust each other wholeheartedly.

Although they came from the same planet and were all called players, their internal scheming was far more intense than that of the natives.

Seeing Li Changfeng still hesitating, Immortal Master Kumu simply said,

"Actually, you don't have to use the miraculous method of continuation; you could just change your Physique.

"Perhaps your transaction points are enough to exchange for a powerful Physique, where your Qi absorption makes you stronger, Breakthroughs have no Bottlenecks, and Innate Divine Powers are achieved with a single Cultivation. Then what need would there be for any miraculous method of continuation, or any dietary Medicinal Pills?"

Li Changfeng smiled bitterly, "Such a Physique requires too many transaction points; I can't afford it."

Immortal Master Kumu chuckled,

"Indeed, possessing a good Innate Physique, how could it be merely twice the result with half the effort? Perhaps one could easily Break through to fourth-grade in their teens, which would make others extremely envious.

"As for us, without special Physiques, we can only strive as much as possible through Acquired means. Whether it's the Righteous Path or the Evil Path, as long as it makes us stronger, what method cannot be used?

"True Man Changfeng, you must be very clear about this, right? For Physiques and talents like ours, the subsequent Dao path is inherently fraught with difficulties; reaching fifth-grade is almost the limit. To Break through to fourth-grade, how could it be possible without taking some risks?

"Rather, unlike Midnight Gao Sou who fell victim to others' Evil Path methods, merely risking the loss of subsequent Dao Lineage information is already very easy."

Li Changfeng pondered for a moment, then finally nodded, "Yes, you are right."

After the Lifespan acceleration feature disappeared, players had to experience the actual passage of time.

Consequently, their understanding of talent became clearer.

Those with good talent could achieve Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment in a few months, and then enter seclusion for Core Formation in another year.

Those with poor talent would be stuck in Spirit Nurturing for two years, continuously absorbing Qi daily, yet never finding the path to entry.

Veteran Players like Li Changfeng, when they first started Cultivating, did not have exceptional talent or any special Physique; they relied purely on resource advantages, coupled with Lifespan acceleration, to achieve a Golden Core Breakthrough.

To go further, it was impossible without taking some risks and seeking some unorthodox methods.

'If I had an excellent Physique, why would I be so hesitant and anxious?'

Li Changfeng sighed, finally deciding to continue cooperating with Immortal Master Kumu… after one year.

The concept of time in the Xuanhuan World is slightly different from that of Blue Star.

After players adapted to the rhythm of Cultivation, they felt that time did not seem so long.

A year was merely one period of seclusion.

It felt like it passed in an instant.

Of course, for some, a year could be a torment.

For example, Wan Lin.

He was still in the Dead Flesh Layer of Sacred Emperor Mountain.

He watched helplessly as the flesh constantly grew, forming a giant, pulsating tumor on the ground.

Within the flesh and blood, a tiny figure could vaguely be seen.
