2: Mid-stage foundation building

Zixuan didn't understand, but he didn't dare to disobey his father, so he could only leave the storage bag in his hand and honestly walked out.

Outside the Scripture Pavilion, six cultivators above the seventh level of the qi refining stage hurried over.

Zixuan suddenly took away forty percent of the li family's resources, and as the li family's experts, they naturally had to inquire about it.

Seeing Zixuan come out, the others were about to ask when they suddenly froze, looking towards the third floor of the Scripture Pavilion in disbelief.

Li Xiantian asked in surprise, "Father, is that grandfather?"

Zixuan nodded slightly and said, "Your father isn't sure either, but looking at this, father is indeed attempting to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage."

The li family members were nervous. If Li Haotian succeeded in breaking through, it would be fine, but if he failed to break through, he might perish here.

Li Haotian could still live for a few years. If he found more life-extending elixirs, he could definitely hold on for a few more years, and by then Li Xiantian would have grown up.

But Li Haotian couldn't stand the loneliness and actually made such a move; it really made people not know what to say.

Suddenly, the spiritual energy fluctuations around them disappeared, replaced by immense pressure.

The faces of the li family members were ecstatic. Li Haotian had actually successfully broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage; this immense pressure definitely surpassed the tenth level of the qi refining stage.

Their li family had a Foundation Establishment Stage expert now; there was hope for their rise!

... ... ...

On the third floor of the Scripture Pavilion, Li Haotian cultivated with his eyes closed. The thousand-year earth milk not only helped him raise his cultivation but also increased his lifespan by fifty years.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but the medicinal power within his body had been completely refined. Li Haotian opened his eyes, which flickered with sharp light before disappearing after a while.

Sensing his own state, the first thing was the magic power within his dantian. At this moment, it had already become liquid magic power, which was definitely a sign of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

His divine sense swept out in all directions, and everything within a five-hundred-meter radius was clearly sensed by him.

"Have I reached the Foundation Establishment Stage? And it's the mid Foundation Establishment Stage. Not bad, not bad."

Li Haotian clicked open his personal page and checked his information.

Host: Li Haotian

Age: 115 / 300

Cultivation: Mid Foundation Establishment Stage

Spiritual Stone: 3000

Note: Spiritual stones can enhance any treasure.

Looking at his lifespan increasing to three hundred, while the lifespan limit for the Foundation Establishment Stage was only two hundred and fifty, he had really made a huge profit!

Looking at the seven people below, Li Haotian said, "It's fine now, you can all withdraw. This old ancestor has completed his breakthrough. Do not spread the word about this."

Hearing Li Haotian personally admit his breakthrough, the seven people below the Scripture Pavilion all showed joy and said, "Congratulations, Father/Sixth Uncle/Grandfather, on breaking through to foundation establishment and gaining a hundred years of lifespan."

After speaking, they withdrew with joyful expressions.

Around Luoxia Island, there were dozens of islands, and on the islands, there were also three cultivation families, all small families with qi refining stage cultivation.

The four families fought endlessly among themselves, often clashing fiercely over the resources on the surrounding dozens of islands.

Now, Li Haotian had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, and was even at the mid Foundation Establishment Stage, he already had the strength to completely sweep aside the other Three Great Families.

It was just that the li family was still too weak right now. Even if they took down the resources on these dozens of islands, there would be no one to guard them.

Li Haotian told them not to spread the word precisely to quickly raise the strength of the li family cultivators.

At this moment, he still had his aged appearance, but he looked like an immortal with a daoist air, no longer looking like he was about to die at any moment.

After the seven people withdrew, Li Haotian took out the elixirs and began to examine them.

"Ding, Qi Refining Pill detected. Enhance?"

Li Haotian said, "Enhance all ten pills to their strongest medicinal effect."

"Ding, enhancement successful. Consumed twenty spiritual stones. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained ten supreme grade Qi Refining Pills."

Li Haotian was overjoyed. It was actually supreme grade Qi Refining Pills! These were good things.

Qi Refining Pills are elixirs used by cultivators below the seventh level of the qi refining stage to improve their cultivation. supreme grade Qi Refining Pills can allow cultivators below the seventh level of the qi refining stage to advance one realm without side effects.

Unfortunately, only the first three pills are useful, and the effects are successively halved.

Li Haotian stroked the beard on his chin and murmured, "If there are ten pills, they can allow ten clan members to advance one realm. This is good."

"Continue, continue!"

"Ding, Spirit Cleansing Pill detected. Enhance?"

"Enhance!"

"Ding, enhancement successful. Consumed fifty spiritual stones. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained ten Spirit Cleansing Pills."

"Ding, Qi Augmenting Pill detected. Enhance?"

"Enhance..."

... ...

Not long after, Li Haotian finally stopped because the elixirs were all gone.

Checking the results, Li Haotian's face was full of smiles.

supreme grade Qi Augmenting Pills: Five bottles, fifty pills.

supreme grade Qi Refining Pills: Ten bottles, one hundred pills.

supreme grade Qi Gathering Pills: Ten bottles, one hundred pills.

supreme grade Spirit Cleansing Pills: Five bottles, fifty pills.

supreme grade Spirit Purifying Pills: Five bottles, fifty pills.

supreme grade Quenching Yuan Pill: One pill.

At this point, Li Haotian had spent a thousand spiritual stones and obtained so many elixirs.

Among them, the one that consumed the most spiritual stones was the Quenching Yuan Pill. This thing was also an elixir that increased the chance of foundation establishment, but an ordinary Quenching Yuan Pill didn't even have half a percent chance of success for foundation establishment.

But the supreme grade Quenching Yuan Pill was different. The supreme grade Quenching Yuan Pill had a better effect than the Foundation Establishment Pill and could increase the success rate by fifty percent.

Unfortunately, his son Zixuan was already over seventy and had missed the best age for foundation establishment. If he had hundred-year earth milk, it might be possible.

Let's give this Quenching Yuan Pill to my daughter Li Ziyi. She's exactly fifty years old and at the eighth level of the qi refining stage.

If it were before, she would absolutely be unable to break through to the tenth level of the qi refining stage before sixty, let alone attempt to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Now it's different. Li Haotian has a large number of elixirs in his hand: Spirit Purifying Pills, Qi Gathering Pills, Spirit Cleansing Pills. As long as she cultivates diligently, she can break through to the tenth level of the qi refining stage in just a few years.

Compared to the Foundation Establishment Pill, the Quenching Yuan Pill is easier to obtain. This thing can be bought as long as you have spiritual stones.

Although earth milk is precious, as long as one's cultivation is strong and they have enough spiritual stones, they can still buy it by frequenting major auctions.

Li Haotian was in a great mood and picked up the cultivation technique next to him to look at it.

This was one of the li family's best cultivation techniques, the Azure Cloud Sword Art. It had a total of two layers and could be cultivated up to the Foundation Establishment Peak.

As soon as Li Haotian picked it up, the system's voice sounded in his mind again.

"Ding, cultivation technique Azure Cloud Sword Art detected. Enhance?"

Li Haotian looked at the remaining two thousand spiritual stones and said without hesitation, "Spend one thousand spiritual stones to enhance it for me."

Li Haotian cultivated the Azure Cloud Sword Art. He was already at the mid Foundation Establishment Stage now, so the subsequent cultivation techniques had to be quickly deduced.

"Ding, enhancement successful. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the first three layers of the Azure Cloud Sword Art."

There was no sound asking if he wanted to continue enhancing, so Li Haotian knew that if he wanted to continue enhancing, his current spiritual stones were not enough.

"Forget it. What I have now is enough for my cultivation. When the li family cultivators are nurtured, that will be the day my li family rises."

After speaking, Li Haotian closed his eyes and began to cultivate.

Although he had broken through to the mid Foundation Establishment Stage, his newly acquired cultivation had not yet fully stabilized.

Five days later, Li Haotian opened his eyes. With a thought from his divine sense, a flying sword flew out and hovered in front of him.

"Is this divine sense sword control? Interesting. From now on, I can also fly with my sword."

Sword flight requires divine sense sword control, which is only possible after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage. If cultivators in the qi refining stage want to fly, they must either use flying talismans or flying magical artifacts, but no matter what, they are not as fast as sword flight.

Walking out of the third floor of the Scripture Pavilion, Li Haotian went directly to the outside of Zixuan's cave dwelling.

Zixuan, who was cultivating, sensed that the restriction outside had moved, so he stopped cultivating and walked out of the cave dwelling.
