Chapter 80 Foundation Building
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, three years have passed in the busy and fulfilling life of Nolen College.
In the past three years, Benjamin has devoted most of his energy to the study of potions and alchemy. At the same time, the Five Elements Rainbow Mirror has become more docile under his care day after day. The five concepts of light flow seamlessly inside the mirror and can be used by him at any time.
And now, he has come to a crucial step on the road of cultivation - building the foundation.
Laying the foundation is the key for cultivators to break away from the mortal body and lay the foundation for the great way.
It means a qualitative change in the quality and quantity of true essence, a leap in spiritual consciousness, and a great enhancement in the ability to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Only by successfully building the foundation can one truly embark on the path of cultivating immortals and possess a longer lifespan and greater strength.
As for the Foundation Establishment Pill, Jieming had already obtained the recipe from the Dao Book Pavilion.
However, it is more of a refining concept than a recipe.
After all, as the key for some low-talented cultivators to make a breakthrough, the number of various variant formulas of the Foundation Establishment Pill is frighteningly large.
Jieming still remembers the scene when he was searching for the formula of the Foundation Establishment Pill and his entire consciousness was filled with the flowing light emitted by the Dao Book Pavilion.
It is no exaggeration to say that if someone in the world of immortal cultivation obtained this pile of prescriptions, they could just pick any herb whose energy level reached the foundation-building stage and use it as the main ingredient for the foundation-building pill.
As long as each main medicine is combined with several or dozens of auxiliary medicines, a foundation-building pill can be refined.
Even those medicinal herbs that are extremely toxic are the same.
However, considering that the two worlds could hardly find the same materials, he did not intend to copy these formulas completely from the beginning.
That unknown world of immortal cultivation can be said to have mastered the principles of refining foundation-building pills to the fullest.
The concept of refining the Foundation Establishment Pill has been clearly analyzed. As long as materials with corresponding properties are found, they can be combined with different auxiliary materials to refine them into pills.
With such perfect ideological guidance, combined with his profound attainments in potions and alchemy over the past three years, Benjamin quickly found his own unique way to refine foundation-building pills.
He spent months carefully selecting and processing each medicinal ingredient.
Use alchemy to conduct detailed analysis of the properties of medicinal materials and understand their mutual generation and restraint.
At the same time, he also drew on the precise control of energy ratios in alchemy, as well as his already mature witchcraft - extraction.
Extraction techniques allow him to extract the purest energy essence from various materials with extremely high efficiency, filtering out all impurities and negative effects.
If used on a living organism, it can even forcibly extract the vitality from the organism.
However, the greatest use of this witchcraft is in making potions.
Whether it's wizard potions or cultivation elixirs, using extraction techniques is an advantage that can be called cheating.
Finally, after repeated attempts and corrections, hundreds of failed potion experiments and furnace explosions, Benjamin successfully refined a unique foundation-building pill.
Or to be more precise, a drop of potion-type foundation-building liquid.
It is no longer in the form of a traditional elixir, but is like a drop of thick amber liquid, exuding the fragrance of plants and the deep breath of the earth. There is a faint flicker of light in it, and it contains a majestic and restrained vitality.
It perfectly combines the alchemy's control over medicinal properties with the precise proportions of wizard potions, and is another manifestation of Jemin's dual cultivation path.
During the research process, with the successful construction of the third witchcraft extraction technique, Benjamin's speed in absorbing elemental power further accelerated, allowing him to reach the peak of Qi training without realizing it.
Everything was ready, and Benjamin didn't have much hesitation and quickly decided to break through.
In the private laboratory, after regulating his breathing to bring his condition to the peak, Benjamin sat down cross-legged and put the drop of magic potion-shaped foundation-building pill into his mouth without hesitation.
The medicinal liquid melted in his mouth, transforming into a powerful yet gentle torrent of energy, which instantly rushed to his limbs and bones, and finally gathered in his dantian.
The true essence was like boiling magma, surging through the meridians, constantly washing and expanding, causing severe swelling and pain.
His mental strength also expanded, sensing clearer energy veins between heaven and earth.
The body is constantly strengthened, providing a carrier for the continuously increasing true essence and mental strength.
However, despite the earth-shaking changes taking place in his body, Benjamin's mind always remained clear and everything was under his control.
Thanks to his extremely solid foundation over the years - whether it is the purity of his true essence or the strength of his wizard's mental power, they are far beyond the same level.
The advantages of the essence-refining and qi-transforming system were clearly demonstrated during advancement. Whether it was the spirit, the body, or the true essence, the three would passively develop in a balanced manner during the enhancement process, allowing him to maintain absolute control in this drastic change.
Jieming's initial estimate was quite accurate. With his accumulation, he didn't even need the Foundation Establishment Pill to advance.
He didn't even need the medicine to work. With his own strength alone, Benjamin could clearly feel the true energy in his body being compressed and condensed bit by bit. The newly reshaped Dantian was also constantly exerting pressure, causing it to transform from gas to liquid.
This process lasted for a whole day and night, until the entire promotion process was completed, and Benjamin didn't even have the chance to use the power of the foundation-building pill.
Just when he felt that the true essence in his Dantian had completely liquefied and stabilized like a calm lake, and his spiritual consciousness had reached an unprecedented level of strength, marking the success of his foundation building...
An accident happened suddenly!
Just as Benjamin was about to feel the huge changes in his body after the promotion, he suddenly discovered that the powerful power of the magic potion-type foundation-building pill, which had almost no loss, suddenly surged uncontrollably towards the deepest part of his lower dantian after the successful foundation-building!
The power was not violent, but rather carried an irresistible attraction.
At the deepest part of the lower Dantian, a bottomless black hole seemed to appear out of thin air! It exuded an all-consuming aura, instantly sucking in all the remaining power of the foundation-building potion!
Not only that, even the true energy and mental strength in Benjamin's body, which had just become several times stronger, seemed to be attracted by some invisible force and were uncontrollably sucked into the mysterious black hole!
This sudden change shocked Benjamin!
He clearly felt that the strength in his body was rapidly dissipating, and the feeling of emptiness came over him again.
He instantly felt something was wrong, but fortunately, just in case, he had refined several Foundation Establishment Pills before the promotion.
Now faced with this situation, he almost subconsciously prepared to take out the second magic potion-type foundation-building pill from the side.
Just as his hand touched the potion bottle, the all-consuming suction force suddenly stopped.
