Under the careful care of the aunts, the children in the village recovered quickly. The next day, they followed Su Ming and Su Tian out to pick mushrooms.
Sang Jin also seized the opportunity to enter the secret realm to practice, and in three days (three months in the secret realm), he broke through to the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Just a little more and she would be able to recover to her previous life's level of cultivation. By then, she would stay away from the villagers and find a secluded place to refine the Heavenly Dao Pill.
This was thanks to Mr. Li who had given her some elixirs that happened to contain some herbs that replenished the medicines she lacked in the secret realm.
So she kept a portion of the medicine to cultivate in the secret realm. In the future, she would never be short of the spiritual medicine for Tiandao Dan.
By the way, the matter of helping Mr. Li find a body had to be put on the agenda. Otherwise, she would have to waste another Gu Yuan Dan.
"Breakthrough, I broke through."
"I also broke through."
“…”
In the cave where Sang Jin and the others were resting, three beams of white light appeared, and the cave shook.
"Since when has it become so easy to build a foundation?" Usually, it is a hurdle to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Some people might get stuck at the ninth level of Qi Refining for their entire lives. Mu Yan envied them for being able to successfully build their foundation, as he had tried many times but failed.
The foundation-building period is divided into the early stage of foundation-building, the middle stage of foundation-building, the late stage of foundation-building, and the great perfection of foundation-building.
The lifespan of a person in the Foundation Establishment stage can be extended to three hundred years. They can fly with a sword, but not for long periods of time. After all, they lack spiritual energy.
Cultivators in the foundation-building stage can absorb spiritual energy and practice fasting, and no longer need to eat.
Eating ordinary food will accumulate impurities in the body, affecting cultivation. It is better to eat spiritual food. (Author: This means food with spiritual energy.)
Sang Jin is in the Qi training stage, so he doesn't practice fasting, but he has been eating spiritual food.
Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage will develop spiritual consciousness and soul platforms, and can use their spiritual consciousness to explore the surrounding objects, just like Sang Jin's mental power.
The difference is that Sang Jin's spiritual power can be used to draw formations, control objects, and refine pills, thereby increasing his personal combat effectiveness.
The Soul Platform is where cultivators store their spiritual energy. The larger the Soul Platform, the greater the cultivator's power.
There were three beams of light in total. The first two were from Zhou Fugui and Zhou Dahe, who were both at the Foundation Establishment stage. The third was from Su Ming. He was the only one who broke through from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Golden Core stage.
A cultivator who has established his foundation has officially embarked on the path of cultivation. He should sever his worldly ties and choose to continue his cultivation in a sect or academy, or go to a city where other cultivators live to cultivate on his own.
Immortal cultivators who had just broken through to a higher level were still unstable. They usually engaged in a battle to solidify their foundation. This difficult yet glorious task was once again assigned to the tiger demon.
"Congratulations to Grandpa Zhou and Brother Su Ming for their successful breakthrough!" Sang Jin said congratulations with a smile.
"It's all thanks to our little lucky star's foundation-building pill. The foundation-building process went so smoothly. I didn't expect that I would succeed in building the foundation at my old age." Zhou Dahe said.
"Xiao Jin, I'll protect you from now on." Su Ming was about to pat Sang Jin's shoulder. Unexpectedly, Sang Jin walked around him and went straight past him. He had no choice but to put his hand on his chest and pat it again.
"Once Shengdan Village is settled, what are your plans?" Sang Jin asked again.
"Your grandfather Fugui and I will definitely continue to stay in the village. After our family members have passed away for a hundred years, we will leave. Then we will find a sect or something to continue our cultivation." Zhou Dahe said. He and Zhou Fugui had thought about it before they established their foundation.
"As for me, it doesn't matter. I want to be with my sister, and living in Shengdan Village is fine. Wherever my sister is, I'll be there." Actually, it's not bad to see little Sang Jin every day. She's cute, and I can tease her. Although the price of teasing her might be a beating.
The most important thing is that when I'm with her, there's always something fun happening. It's never boring. It's quite freeing.
"From now on, the safety of our village will depend on you three." Sang Jin was also relieved that they didn't rush to leave after establishing their foundation. Shengdan Village finally had its own Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Inside the cave.
"Child, you're awake. Come and have some porridge." Fang, the second wife of the Sang family, brought the porridge over. She saw that one of the three people rescued by little Sang Jin had already woken up.
The children in the village were out picking mushrooms, while the men found places to meditate and practice. The women were busy washing and cleaning. There were also women who had awakened their spiritual roots and were practicing.
However, this situation is relatively rare. Many women who have awakened their spiritual roots still want to live a life of taking care of their husbands and children, so they do not practice cultivation.
With Sang Jin occasionally providing spiritual food for everyone, more and more people in Shengdan Village awakened their spiritual roots. However, everyone chose to live a simple life.
This is also why there were only about thirty cultivators at the beginning, but soon there were two hundred people practicing.
"This porridge..." This is spiritual food. Ordinary people in this village eat spiritual food? Mu Yan gulped down a bowl of porridge. He wanted to drink another bowl, but was too embarrassed to ask. His face flushed red.
"Young man, you may not be full. There's still some food in the pot. I'll go get it for you." Fang seemed to see what he was thinking. She took the bowl and prepared to get him another bowl.
At this moment, Mu Yan grabbed the corner of her clothes. He couldn't be so shameless as to eat a second bowl of such delicious porridge. He should save some for his mother and younger sister.
"You are afraid that if you eat it, your mother and the others will have nothing left. No, auntie has cooked plenty. You are lucky to be saved by our little lucky star." Fang smiled and went to bring him a bowl of porridge.
"Oh, isn't this a coincidence? Sister-in-law, you are awake too? That's good. Let's drink some porridge together first." Fang said.
"Thank you, sister." Yan's mother is older than Fang, so it is nothing wrong to call her sister.
She was a servant in the Mu family. Ever since her husband left with the eldest young master, no one treated them as human beings. Fang was the first person Yan's mother had met in the past few years who spoke to her kindly and even served her porridge.
After drinking the porridge, Mu Yan and the other two prepared to say goodbye and leave. He had not forgotten what his purpose this time was.
"You are going to Qianyu City, which is the next city. It will probably take five or six days to walk there. We also have to pass by Qianyu City, so why don't we go together?" Sang Jin said.
They were retaliated against by the tiger demon because of her. The tiger demon mistook the little girl for her. Since they were going the same way, they could go together. It would be much safer.
"Little girl, come here." Yan's mother waved to Sang Jin and said, "My husband's surname is Mu, and these are my son and daughter, Mu Yan and Mu Yu. I have a jade pendant hanging around my waist, which my husband gave me when we got married. This jade should be worth some money. Thank you for bringing people to save the three of us this time."
As Yan's mother spoke, she pulled Mu Yan and Mu Yu together to bow to Sang Jin. "I can never repay your life-saving grace."
