The Magician of Cultivation

Then, waves of weakness accompanied by tearing pain came into his mind.

Li Yu knew that this was caused by excessive consumption of soul power.

But his heart was filled with excitement.

“This is the true perfection of fire.”

Although it only took him three or two breaths to visualize the Five Elements Ring, he also found the shortcomings of his Tai Chi Fish Diagram.

Why did the world of cultivation in the previous life emphasize inheritance?

Only by relying on the wisdom of generations can practitioners go further.

It is easy to find a good disciple, but it is difficult to find a good teacher.

For Li Yu, the Five Elements Ring before his eyes is the best master.

In particular, the Bing Ding Tai Chi fish diagram that appears in the ring of the five elements is in harmony with the great way of the universe, the rotation of the five elements, and the mutual generation of yin and yang.

"The most urgent thing is to restore the power of the soul. With my current strength, visualizing the Ring of Five Elements consumes too much energy."

A tearing pain was felt in his mind, and Li Yu had to suppress the excitement in his heart.

He collected his thoughts, sat cross-legged, and meditated to restore his soul's strength.

After five days, all the consumed soul power was restored.

The recovered soul power is purer and more resilient than before.

"Contemplating the Ring of Five Elements can actually temper the power of the soul. This is really a pleasant surprise." Li Yu thought to himself.

After the Golden Elixir, the key to cultivating into the Nascent Soul is to change the quality and quantity of soul power.

The quantity can be gradually accumulated through meditation, but the qualitative change requires the constant forging and tempering of soul power.

Li Yu has now taken this step ahead of time through visualization.

"Now, let's verify whether what I thought before is correct."

Once a thought arises in his mind, hundreds of thoughts arise.

The original Tai Chi diagram began to change, and two small balls appeared in the center of the two yin and yang fish connected head to tail.

The small balls started to spin on their own. The one in the Yin fish was a blood-red Bing Fire ball, while the one in the Yang fish was a pale Ding Fire ball.

The moment the sphere appeared, the rotation speed of the Tai Chi diagram increased several times.

But in a moment, the two small balls had expanded into two tiny planets of different colors.

The tiny planet was like a fish's eye, constantly expanding, while the yin-yang fish surrounding it was slowly shrinking.

Until finally, the original Yin-Yang fish shrank into a tiny planet, and the planet turned into the Yin-Yang fish.

"In this way, there is yang in yin, and when yin grows, yang disappears; at the same time, there is yin in yang, and when yang grows, yin disappears. Yang gives birth to yin, and Yin gives birth to yang. Yin and yang are each other's roots, and they push and transform each other, giving rise to an endless cycle."

The new Tai Chi fish diagram finally took shape.

Li Yu knew that from this moment on, his ultimate dual fire was perfect.

"How about testing its power?"

He spread out his hands, and two fireballs appeared in the palms of his hands.

The left hand is pale, the right hand is blood red, the heat in the left hand is restrained, while the heat in the right hand is surging.

Li Yu raised his hands and shot out the fireballs in his hands. The fireballs collided in mid-air and actually merged into one.

The energy of each other was derived from each other, and the power was actually increased by four or five times.

"So powerful," Li Yu exclaimed, "This fireball is probably more powerful than that of an ordinary cultivator who has just entered the foundation-building stage."

"After the Bing and Ding fires are perfected, the Yin-Yang dual fire system built on the Tai Chi diagram is so stable." He was pleasantly surprised.

........................

In the training room.

After Li Yu perfected the fire element, he reopened the magic circle inside the cushion.

Just as he had guessed, this time the cushion no longer filtered out the Bing Fire from the Earth Fire, but instead the two pure fires poured into the body at the same time.

His speed of absorbing spiritual energy increased greatly.

Now, when I look inward at my Dantian, I can clearly see the Tai Chi fish pattern formed by the Bing and Ding spiritual energy, which almost covers the entire Dantian.

His cultivation had also reached the peak of the Qi Refining Stage.

"I have been in this training room for more than six months. I can finally try to break through the foundation-building stage."

Li Yu was full of anticipation.

Adjust your mental state to the best and prepare for your first major breakthrough.

Although he had experienced it once in his previous life and had deduced it countless times, it was after all the extreme double fire of Bing and Ding that was used to build the foundation.

Moreover, after visualizing the ring of five elements, the double fire Tai Chi fish condensed, no one knows what kind of accidents will happen?

"We have made all the preparations we can. Victory or failure depends on this one move."

Li Yu adjusted his breathing and focused all his energy on breaking through.

"Success will lead to the strongest foundation-building stage. Failure will probably lead to a direct explosion and death."

The most difficult thing to break through to the foundation-building stage is to liquefy the gaseous spiritual energy.

This is an essential improvement in spiritual energy, and there are two main methods in the world of cultivation to transform spiritual energy into liquid.

The simplest and most common way is to use the Foundation Establishment Pill to break through.

Some large sects would reward foundation-building pills to outer disciples who had great contributions but relatively poor talents.

The Foundation Building Pill, as the name suggests, is a pill that helps cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage to break through the Foundation Building stage.

After taking it, the originally gaseous spiritual energy will easily liquefy under the effect of the drug.

However, the liquid spiritual energy formed in this way contains a lot of impurities, and it is difficult to purify the impurities.

This also means that cultivators who use the Foundation Establishment Pill to break through to a higher level have average strength and it will be difficult for them to break through to a higher level in the future.

Therefore, unless there is no hope of breaking through the foundation, cultivators will never choose this method.

However, thanks to the huge base of low-level cultivators, this breakthrough method still becomes the mainstream.

Another way is to break through on your own.

The cultivator purifies every wisp of spiritual energy and constantly compresses it in the process.

At the same time, more spiritual energy is absorbed from the outside world, so as to achieve a quantitative change leading to a qualitative change, and finally the spiritual energy becomes liquid.

This step sounds simple, but it is actually very difficult, or at least a long process.

It could be as short as ten days or half a month, or as long as several years.

The most difficult thing for a cultivator to cultivate is not spiritual energy.

After all, spiritual energy can be quickly replenished and improved through external objects such as spiritual stones and elixirs.

What troubles the cultivator's realm is the soul power.

There is no shortcut to improving soul power; it can only be accumulated slowly through constant meditation or visualization.

This also leads to the fact that most cultivators have soul power lower than the spiritual energy level.

Soul power is the horse and spiritual energy is the cart. If the soul power is weak, it is like using a pony to pull a big cart, and naturally it will not be able to bear the burden.

After breaking through from the Qi Refining Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage, how strong can the soul power of a cultivator at this stage be?

I’m afraid that I won’t be able to purify much spiritual energy before it’s almost consumed.

Besides, compressing spiritual energy is not without risks.

The spiritual energy from the outside world is constantly introduced into the body, and the body is compressed, just like blowing up a balloon. If it is not well controlled, the balloon will burst.

Therefore, when cultivators are building their foundation, they are often protected by elders from their sect.

Li Yu had neither the foundation-building pill nor anyone to protect him at the moment, the only one he could rely on was himself.

Fortunately, his soul power is strong enough, and there is no need to worry about the lack of spiritual energy here.

"If the Jindan stage soul power is not enough to make the Bingding Taiji fish of the ultimate attribute turn from gas into liquid."

“The legend of the strongest person in the cultivation world, who is at the foundation-building stage, is probably just a legend.”

Li Yu thought of everything and without hesitation, he prepared to start the most important foundation building.
