Chapter 186 Body Refinement Stage 2 Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment Level 4!

"After many years, Zuo'er has finally returned."

The newly formed left arm is still very fragile. Wang Yu needs to constantly mobilize the true essence and blood power in his body to cleanse his left hand and gradually make it catch up with the strength of his body.

This process takes one to two years to gradually catch up with the physical level.

The Corpse Demon Secret Technique originated from the Old Man with Crippled Heaven. This man was born without limbs, but fortunately possessed a Yin-attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root. After entering the cultivation world, he cultivated diligently for many years and finally created this secret technique at the Nascent Soul stage.

If one can cultivate to perfection, the blood in one's body will be filled with this Yin Blood Pill condensed from secret power. In an instant, severed limbs can be regenerated, and even if a vital part is injured, there will be no major harm.

This regenerative ability and vitality are rare even among Nascent Soul cultivators, making them practically indestructible.

Now, Wang Yu can only look at things from afar.

After restoration.

It was already dusk. Wang Yu went out and entertained Zhuo Shouqing for another night before preparing to go into seclusion to break through to a higher realm.

Whether it's body refinement or the third level of foundation building, one can advance to the next level.

Following the pattern, Unit 6 is also about to be born.

This is a big deal, and he has been looking forward to it for a long time.

"Let's try the Yinming Demon Dragon Technique first. My physique at the early stage of the second level has been perfectly honed, and my strength far surpasses that of others at the same level."

As the exercise was in progress.

Wang Yu's body began to emanate a rich aura of blood and qi, which continuously overflowed from his muscles and bones, yet it also exuded a sinister and eerie aura, like a ghostly mist.

Lacking any trace of masculine energy, it resembled the dual energy of a Yin corpse. The already formed dragon spine twisted along a mysterious trajectory, stretching out its muscles and bones inch by inch.

The Yin-Yang Demon Dragon, formed from his Qi and blood, naturally appeared and circled around him.

The essence and blood in the body gradually condense.

The overflowing power began to recede, eventually yielding ninety-nine drops of blue-black blood.

This is the limit of a second-stage early-stage body cultivator.

The process of returning to oneness is the key to breakthrough. After three condensations and three dispersals, one can obtain a drop of fused true blood. At that time, the power of the true blood will spread into the limbs and bones, and his physique will undergo a small transformation.

In the middle stage, 999 drops are condensed, and in the later stage, 9,999 drops are condensed. Similarly, it is necessary to go through three condensations and three dispersions before the final condensed true blood is dispersed into the body.

Ultimately, one can break through to the third stage of Body Refinement, equivalent to a Core Formation cultivator.

The path of body refinement has long been abandoned by the mainstream cultivation world. Even if one were to cultivate it, it would be combined with spirit refinement techniques, such as the inheritance of the Barbarian Ghost Peak of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect.

It's rare to find someone like Wang Yu who takes the path of pure body cultivation.

It's hard to say which is stronger or weaker, after all, there must be a reason why it was abandoned. If one practices Qi cultivation properly, the physical strength is not weak.

They are not as powerful as those who specialize in body tempering, and their vitality is slightly lower, but they can master more wondrous true essence power and magical artifact power!

Pure body cultivators also absorb spiritual energy for cultivation, but they lack true essence and cannot control powerful external forces at the level of magic treasures. Their weapons are called [Bloodline True Artifacts].

They are now very rare, and even in ancient times, pure body cultivators were extremely rare.

Wang Yu's original intention was simply to strengthen his own blood and qi to avoid failing the Foundation Establishment breakthrough. For this reason, he even cultivated his divine sense, aiming to become an all-rounder.

Ultimately, it all serves the purpose of achieving a higher level of spiritual attainment.

The three stages of Foundation Establishment are one, and the three stages of Core Formation are equally rigorous, with higher requirements and greater difficulty to achieve.

It is common knowledge that one's vital energy and spirit are difficult to cultivate. He will continue to persevere as long as he has the opportunity, until the day he can do as he pleases!

"Condense!"

With a firm mind, the body swells with energy.

The already incredibly refined essence and blood merged again, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.

A locked room.

Within Wang Yu's body, the golden-glowing blue-black essence blood finally fused into the form of true blood. As his hand seals changed, a dragon's roar resounded in this enclosed space.

The bones cracked and popped, and the density of the flesh increased dramatically.

"Disperse!"

The true essence that had completed the three stages of condensation and dispersal was integrated into his body, helping him complete the final step.

Boom—

Like a silent roar, the Yin-Yang Demon Dragon, formed from blood and qi, grew repeatedly during this period, this time even exceeding the limit of ten meters, soaring to twelve or thirteen meters in one go.

Body Refinement Stage 2 Mid-stage, achieved!

As long as Wang Yu mobilizes the power of his physical body and blood, his fists and feet will be accompanied by this Yin-Yang Demon Dragon, making it easy for him to split mountains and shatter rocks.

Even a sturdy first-tier shield-shaped magic weapon can be torn apart by his bare hands, or even crushed into dust. His raw strength has increased by a level, but he is slightly inferior in terms of profound mystery.

After a long while... he finished his practice.

After familiarizing himself with the new power, Wang Yu decisively opened the placement menu, and his pupils involuntarily contracted!

"Where's my Unit 6???"

An unexpected situation occurred: according to past patterns, a new placement bar would appear each time a small threshold was broken.

Now—it's gone!

As for whether it's because body refinement cultivation doesn't count, that's impossible. Last time when we were refining our bodies and building our foundation in the Black Mountain Demon Land, we had the No. 5 machine. There's no reason why it shouldn't count.

My thoughts return to where they started.

He had a storage space even during his mortal days.

After embarking on the path of cultivation and successfully breaking through to the first level of Qi Refining, one can achieve a second breakthrough. The third breakthrough occurs in the middle stage of Qi Refining, the fourth in the late stage of Qi Refining, and the fifth in the Foundation Establishment stage.

It's the middle stage now... what about the sixth one?

Although he had long expected that this thing wouldn't appear indefinitely, Wang Yu still couldn't help but feel disappointed when it actually did.

Since it's not happening now, it's unlikely to break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage either; we can only wait until Core Formation in the future.

His intuition told him so.

There may be a limit to the number of slots, but it will definitely not be five!

After struggling to adjust his mindset and sitting quietly for half a day, Wang Yu's state of mind gradually calmed down. What was meant to happen would happen sooner or later.

It's time to break through to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment.

It's quite a coincidence that both of them arrived at this time. It can only be said that the effects of the third-tier treasure, Blood Dragon Essence, are indeed miraculous for his body-refining cultivation.

Wang Yu took out the 'One-Pattern Condensation Pill' from his storage bag and swallowed it without hesitation. He needed to break through to the next realm immediately and couldn't afford to delay.

As a renowned breakthrough elixir.

As soon as the refining process began, the miraculous effects of the pill were felt, and the vast true essence within the dantian and dantian converged into three small streams.

It starts from three points and spirals continuously toward the center.

Rotation, acceleration... forming a funnel-shaped vortex of true essence.

The medicinal properties evaporate.

It seemed to have taken root in the Qi Sea, and the Xuan Yuan Demon Embryo also emitted a faint light, as if it had been scraped by some kind of spiritual root powder? Perhaps, in any case, this threshold was not solid to begin with.

It was easily broken by the Condensing Essence Pill.

In less than half a day, a spring of true essence appeared in the center of Wang Yu's dantian, and his body gained the ability to automatically absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Foundation Establishment Level 4, achieved!

Wang Yu looked through the placement list, still with a disappointed expression; there was still nothing there.

It seems we really can only wait until after the Core Formation to see.

He never doubted whether he could form a golden core; it was just a matter of time.

After entering the fourth level of Foundation Establishment, it is still about accumulating quantity. From 500 drops to 800 drops, one can break through to the fifth level of Foundation Establishment. Then, by accumulating to 1200 drops, one can reach the sixth level of Foundation Establishment.

Once you reach the level of two thousand drops, you can begin the breakthrough.

At that time, you will face the second condensation of essence, advancing the "Fountain of True Essence" to the "Lake of True Essence". This stage of cultivation will be faster.

Wang Yu has the help of a top-grade Ice Spirit Pill.

Two pills every four years will be enough to help him reach the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, and only two and a half pills will be needed to reach the sixth level of Foundation Establishment. It seems that the difficulty of Foundation Establishment cultivation has been greatly reduced.

That's not actually the case.

The real difficulty of this realm lies in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. Accumulating a vast ocean of true essence takes a very long time and can only be accelerated through elixirs and various rare and precious materials.

Even so, it's not certain that we'll be able to finish repairing it.

The peak of the seventh level of Foundation Establishment is 4,000 drops, the peak of the eighth level is 6,000 drops, and the standard for the final condensation of Yuan Qi at the peak of the ninth level is 9,999 drops!

This shows just how exaggerated the gradient leap can be.

Therefore, when Wang Yu broke into the Bai family mansion at night, he knew very well that he could not defeat the Bai family's eldest elder by fighting head-on. He could only use his profound inheritance and divine sense to trap the opponent.

It didn't even take long, only about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

but--

As cultivators condense springs and lakes, their cultivation speed will increase significantly. There is no one who can advance to the peak of Foundation Establishment without using anything other than a Heavenly Spiritual Root and through pure hard work.

That's why people with Heavenly Spiritual Roots are said to be guaranteed a Golden Core.

Give him ten years, and I'm confident he can break through to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, but after that... well, he'll really just have to grind it out slowly.

The gap in strength between cultivators widens as they progress, especially after condensing the Golden Core. While the accumulation of quantity remains important, the subtlety of the methods also becomes crucial.

Fighting across realms during the Qi Refining stage is commonplace.

During the Foundation Building stage, one must cross borders to fight, for they are the best materials and the finest gems.

He fought across borders during his Core Formation stage, displaying astonishing talent and brilliance.

Nascent Soul stage... No, let alone higher realms, even lower realms can only be achieved by geniuses at the level of prodigies. In battles between people of the same realm, very few can kill their opponent.

At most, the physical body can be severed, but the nascent soul is difficult to destroy.

Of course, this is the situation in this world; we don't know about other places.

After breaking through to the next realm, Wang Yu meditated for three more days to completely stabilize his realm. He then replenished the nascent zombie with a wave of Moon Fiend before emerging from seclusion.

You can keep this thing for as long as you can.

He could sense that the more Taiyin Moon Sha he absorbed, the more powerful he would become after resurrecting. With such an opportunity, the idea that the early stage of the third rank was enough was all nonsense.

The Yin Sha Corpse Refining Technique must be improved, otherwise controlling the corpse will be risky. He will wait until the corpse can no longer absorb the Taiyin Moon Sha before considering the issue of raising the corpse.

After clearing customs.

Wang Yu first sent someone to inquire about Zhuo Shouqing's whereabouts and also gathered some information about Dongjijing. Finally, he met Zhuo Shouqing outside the prison where the Guan family head was imprisoned.

Wang Yu reappeared.

Zhuo Shouqing said irritably, "I thought you were doing something else. Turns out you were breaking through. I almost misunderstood you."

"What misunderstanding did you have about me?"

Wang Yu smiled without saying a word. He had always kept his cultivation level well concealed, so it was difficult to say anything now that it had been seen through at a glance.

A shadow crossed Zhuo Shouqing's eyes, clearly as he recalled his past experiences.

"Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. Did this guy take those shackles from Dongjijing?"

"Yes, you've seen it."

"That's where things get interesting. The true lineage of the Evil God Workshop came down specifically for this thing."

Wang Yu's eyes lit up immediately.

"Speak softly—"
