Chapter 386: Four Years to Foundation Formation
Before taking the spirit medicine, Han Li first sat in meditation within the secret chamber for several days, adjusting all his true yuan and vital energy to their optimal state. Only then did he take out the small vial containing the Heavenly Fire Elixir.
He carefully tilted his head back and let a few drops drip into his mouth. Then he hurriedly put the vial away, closed his eyes, and waited for the medicine’s effect to manifest.
Before long, the meridians inside Han Li’s body started to burn fiercely. His true yuan surged through his channels like boiling water, flowing rapidly.
His heart was somewhat shocked, but Han Li quickly took out a packet of an unknown spirit medicine, poured it into his mouth without hesitation, and began to calm his mind and practice the Blue Origin Sword Technique, striving to break through his bottleneck.
When the seventh layer of the sword technique was perfected, that would be the day Han Li successfully formed his foundation.
Of course, before this, Han Li had used his spiritual awareness to instruct Quhun, who was next door, to take the Heavenly Fire Elixir and other auxiliary spirit medicines as well.
Quhun cultivated the Blood Refining Divine Light, a quick-advancement demonic path technique that under normal circumstances could never reach foundation formation. But with the Blood Condensing Five Elements Pill, things were different. His foundation formation process was quite unlike Han Li’s.
Quhun didn’t rely on a cultivation technique to condense his golden core; instead, after taking the Blood Condensing Five Elements Pill, he directly refined the pill’s power to form a death core.
Relatively speaking, his process was much simpler than Han Li’s.
So, after giving detailed instructions, Han Li left Quhun next door and didn’t bother himself further.
Although Han Li felt the chances of his own foundation formation succeeding were slim, he still wanted to give it a sincere attempt.
Even if he failed, he could at least gain experience for the next attempt.
With this in mind, Han Li gradually closed off all senses to the outside world and fully immersed himself in the arduous process of refining his qi.
At this point, the passing of time outside no longer mattered to Han Li.
Days went by, one after another.
Seasons passed from spring to winter...
One day, four years later, Sea Ape Island was still in chaos. The pier and the island’s only city were buzzing with excitement.
This was because it was the season when many sea apes surfaced to mate.
Numerous low-level cultivators hurriedly came and went on the island, hunting for these rare demonic beasts.
While the cultivators were all smiles earning spirit stones, the merchants were also gleefully buying continuously.
But by noon, in some remote barren mountain on the island, something happened that stunned the nearby secret-cultivating cultivators.
The once clear blue sky suddenly shifted colors as dark clouds rolled in!
A vast expanse of black, heavy clouds covered the barren mountain’s sky, with silver lightning flashing and thunder roaring like wild snakes dancing.
At the same time, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from all directions began rotating and howling around the barren mountain, forming a huge whirlpool several miles in diameter beneath the black clouds. It absorbed all the spiritual energy within dozens of miles, leaving the rogue cultivators shocked and speechless.
They all came out of their cultivation spots without agreement and hurried towards the barren mountain where the anomaly was occurring.
Even the most ignorant immortal cultivators knew what this meant.
Such a dramatic heavenly phenomenon clearly indicated that a senior immortal cultivator was about to complete foundation formation at the golden core stage.
The Chaotic Star Sea was about to have a new core formation stage cultivator!
However, for someone to form foundation formation in such a spiritually barren place surprised all the rogue cultivators.
