This always filled Zhou Qingxue with amazement whenever she saw Lin Xiuyuan, making her feel that the world was truly wondrous.
Then, Lin Xiuyuan changed the subject, saying, "So, what brings you here today?"
Zhou Qingxue coughed lightly, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her face, and said, "My grandfather asked me to pass on a message to you, intending to invite you back to the clan."
"The clan?" Lin Xiuyuan smiled, a smile that held a somewhat enigmatic meaning.
He had expected this, and at the time he thought Zhou Qingxue had come to him specifically to mediate this matter, but he never expected it to be about her running away from the wedding...
Lin Xiuyuan nodded noncommittally and said, "I understand, but I need to go into seclusion to cultivate recently. Let's talk about it after I come out of seclusion!"
Lin Xiuyuan then returned to the secret chamber and began his secluded cultivation.
With just a few last bit of accumulation left, I can begin my attempt to reach the late stage of Foundation Establishment!
...
…………
After leaving enough resources for Huo Yun to take care of the spirit beasts, he went into seclusion, and the door to the secret chamber remained tightly closed for the rest of the time.
As time went by, year after year.
In the blink of an eye, another competition has begun.
However, the door to the secret chamber did not open again this time, as it was making its final preparations to advance to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
Finally, the fifth year arrived.
With abundant resources and long hours of cultivation, Lin Xiuyuan's cultivation level reached the advanced stage of the mid-Foundation Establishment phase, nearing perfection!
"With the Three Treasures Pill, I can attempt to break through several times. I should be able to break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage this time. I hope I can do so before the Grand Competition..."
Lin Xiuyuan took out three bottles of pills and placed them in front of him, along with several rare and precious medicinal herbs.
Two of the bottles contained the Three Treasures Pills, a total of ten pills. There were originally two extra, which were given to Huo Yun to help her reach the mid-Foundation Establishment stage as soon as possible. The remaining bottle contained Cloud Vein Pills, which could protect the meridians and withstand the impact of magical power from a failed breakthrough. The rare and precious herbs had the same effect.
With such a precious pill as the Three Treasures Pill, which can directly increase cultivation, Lin Xiuyuan's cultivation could be pushed to perfection.
Even if he fails to break through, with the support of pills and rare treasures, Lin Xiuyuan can recover in a short time. He can then continue to consume precious pills and return to perfection, so that he can continue to break through as he approaches the door.
Lin Xiuyuan took out a Yellow Dragon Pill first, which was the one left over from last time.
Now his cultivation has reached the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, and he is almost able to completely refine the Yellow Dragon Pill.
Basically, you don't need to expend much medicinal power to refine it.
Refining such a precious pill now should increase one's cultivation by about fifteen years with just one. Presumably, refining the Three Treasures Pill would be similar. However, the Three Treasures Pill's medicinal power is too strong; it's estimated that some of it will overflow, and it will take until the late Foundation Establishment stage to fully refine it. It's estimated that only about 90% of the Three Treasures Pill's medicinal power can be refined, increasing cultivation by eleven or twelve years.
Of course, the increase in cultivation level under this year is only relative. It is analogous to ordinary daily cultivation, the cultivation state of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
This is naturally not entirely the same as the state of cultivation that is aided by elixirs and rare and precious materials in daily life.
However, for some exceptionally talented geniuses, it is indeed possible to increase their cultivation years by a one-to-one ratio, because their aptitude is excellent, and their daily refinement of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is equivalent to others using pills to assist their cultivation!
As for Lin Xiuyuan, the final increase in cultivation level is estimated to be equivalent to only two or three years of rapid cultivation during this period... After all, his aptitude is really too poor!
As soon as Lin Xiuyuan swallowed the Yellow Dragon Pill, the surging medicinal power immediately spread throughout his body, transforming into streams of spiritual energy that continuously circulated through his meridians.
Lin Xiuyuan circulated his magic power, frantically refining and consuming the pure spiritual energy, which he then channeled into his dantian, rapidly advancing his cultivation towards the late Foundation Establishment stage.
In an instant, the secret chamber was filled with surging spiritual energy.
After an unknown period of time, the surging spiritual energy finally dissipated.
At this moment, the secret room fell silent.
This calm lasted for quite some time...
Then another surge of spiritual energy rose up, far exceeding the previous one!
It was even more intense and filled with a violent intent.
This situation lasted for a full month.
The intense and violent fluctuations of spiritual energy seemed to be constantly rising and growing stronger, but in the end, they suddenly weakened.
At the same time, a muffled groan came from the secret chamber, accompanied by a lot of violent spiritual energy that raged through the chamber, creating gusts of wind and the faint cries of phoenixes.
...
As time passed, this scene continued several times. After the surging spiritual energy fluctuations arose, a strong and violent spiritual energy aura would rage.
Ultimately, this situation persisted for nearly two years.
The final, intense and violent surge, seemingly breaking free of its constraints, climbed to its peak before dissipating its violent intent and transforming into a pure and surging aura of magical power that permeated the secret chamber.
After some time, Lin Xiuyuan stabilized his cultivation level and then left the secret chamber.
Lin Xiuyuan's eyes gleamed, and his spirit seemed to have changed dramatically, exuding an air of grandeur.
An aura belonging to the late Foundation Establishment stage emanated from him, bringing a powerful sense of intimidation.
"Finally, I've broken through! This is the fifth time I've broken through... Fortunately, I still have quite a few Three Treasures Pills left, which I can use to help me break through to the Purple Mansion stage in the future!"
"It's just that with my aptitude, I can only build this path of cultivation with a lot of resources."
