Upon receiving Si Jingjun's order, the swarm of leopard-headed blood bats flew back like a tide, transforming back into a painting.
Wang Hao said with a glint in his eyes, "If I sensed correctly just now, Senior Sister used her spiritual power to activate the bats in this painting so that they could attack."
"That's right. This method is actually an attack method used by those who specialize in mental strength. I have been researching the difference between spiritual sense and mental strength recently, and it is now showing initial results."
Si Jingjun looked at the scroll in front of her. The way cultivators use their spiritual sense is too limited. If they could communicate with heaven and earth like spiritual power, wouldn't the strength of cultivators be even more powerful?
"This battle map is for you. You only need to infuse your spiritual energy into the scroll to summon the leopard-headed blood bat. Of course, as the blood energy in the scroll dissipates, the battle map's power will weaken, and eventually it will become just an ordinary painting."
Si Jingjun rolled up the spirit paper on the table and handed it to Wang Hao.
Wang Hao extended both hands, took the scroll, and smiled, "Thank you, Senior Sister."
Si Jingjun nodded, stood up, and walked towards a spacious room inside.
Holding the battle map, Wang Hao hesitated for a moment before following after him.
Si Jingjun sat on a chair carved from ice, with an ice table in front of her and a small ice jade cup on it. Then, she took out another ice jade cup and placed it opposite her.
"Sit down! You're the first man here, the number one man in the family. How about having a drink with me?" Si Jingjun said with a smile.
"That would be great." Wang Hao chuckled and sat down steadily opposite him.
Other young cultivators would appear hesitant and awkward around her, not daring to look her in the eye, but Wang Hao appeared completely at ease and unrestrained.
Si Jingjun nodded, and with a flick of her sleeve, a jade pot that had been placed on a shelf two zhang away fell into her hand under the control of spiritual energy.
"Splash!"
Her movements were very elegant. She slightly raised her jade arm, tilted the jade pot, and poured out a cup of Foundation Building Liquid, a full ten drops, and handed it to Wang Hao.
Then, she also filled the Jade Cup in front of her with Foundation Building Liquid, about ten drops.
She placed the jade pot on the table, picked up the icy jade cup with her two slender jade fingers, and drank all ten drops of Foundation Building Liquid in one gulp.
Wang Hao looked at the Foundation Establishment Liquid in the cup. There were ten drops of it, which were hard to buy even on the black market. Other cultivators would find it extremely difficult to obtain even a single drop, but Si Jingjun had filled a whole pot and even offered him a cup.
You should know that you also have Foundation Establishment Liquid, but only one drop, which you have always been reluctant to use. But now you have a whole small cup of it.
At Wang Hao's current refining speed, it would take at least fifteen days, but there are only eight days left until the intermediate-level relic exam. Where would he find the time to refine the Foundation Establishment Liquid?
Moreover, the spiritual power of the Foundation Establishment Liquid is extremely strong. If other Qi Refining Grand Perfection Realm cultivators dared to drink ten drops of Foundation Establishment Liquid at the same time, it would be like taking a potent poison.
The cultivator's body would instantly be burst by the spiritual power of the Foundation Establishment Liquid, but Si Jingjun was actually testing him by pouring him a full cup of Foundation Establishment Liquid.
After all, opportunities and dangers always coexist. If Wang Hao cannot withstand the medicinal power of the Foundation Establishment Liquid but still insists on doing so, then he can't blame anyone else if something goes wrong.
Si Jingjun drank a cup of semi-saintly true liquid, glanced at Wang Hao slightly, put the cup back on the table, and chuckled, "Junior brother, are you afraid to drink it?"
Wang Hao laughed and said, "I happen to have one drop left here. In that case, let's drink it together."
He then poured the drop of Foundation Building Liquid into the cup, raised the jade cup, drank it all in one gulp, and immediately began to circulate his cultivation technique. At this moment, under the powerful medicinal effects...
Even the martial arts techniques started to operate, absorbing the vast spiritual energy.
Seeing Wang Hao drink the entire cup of semi-saintly liquid, Si Jingjun's eyes lit up slightly, revealing a hint of admiration.
She knew that with Wang Hao's cultivation level at the initial stage of Qi Refining, he couldn't possibly refine a cup of Foundation Establishment Liquid. He would likely have his meridians ruptured by the liquid and explode, dying from the shock.
Since Wang Hao had the audacity to drink a cup of Foundation Establishment Liquid, Si Jingjun naturally wouldn't let him actually die from overeating. She had some special methods to help him suppress the medicinal effects of the Foundation Establishment Liquid.
Of course, Si Jingjun will only make a move when Wang Hao is really about to collapse.
In fact, Si Jingjun's cultivation had already reached the half-step Foundation Establishment stage, but she hoped to find a more suitable Foundation Establishment item in the Crimson Flame Secret Realm, so she did not break through. The others basically had the same idea.
However, Si Jingjun waited for a full hour, but Wang Hao did not show any signs of broken meridians. On the contrary, his aura grew stronger and stronger, and he even emitted a milky white radiance.
As time went by, the light emanating from Wang Hao grew stronger and stronger. His body, which was sitting cross-legged on the ground, actually floated up and gradually turned into a ball of light.
"Is he about to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage?" Si Jingjun's expression changed slightly, but she immediately dismissed the idea because she did not see Wang Hao integrate his Foundation Establishment artifact.
But before she could think any further, a surge of mental energy emanated from the light egg. Although it disappeared in an instant, Si Jingjun knew she hadn't misjudged it.
"Could he also practice martial arts?!" Si Jingjun was stunned by her own thought, because so far, only Li Xu had achieved this.
However, Wang Hao wasn't thinking about that much right now. Although his martial arts cultivation had broken through, he wasn't paying too much attention to it because he was now desperately trying to suppress his cultivation and keep it at the half-step Foundation Establishment stage.
Furthermore, most of the spiritual power of the foundation-building liquid is stored in the body. Only in this way can the spiritual power hidden in the body be fully absorbed when necessary.
Then, by breaking through the realm and becoming a physical foundation cultivator, one's physique will definitely reach another level, which will greatly benefit the attempt to break through to the eleventh level of Qi Refining.
About eight days later, on the day before the intermediate-level relic exploration exam, Wang Hao finally refined all the Foundation Establishment Liquid and woke up from his cultivation.
As he awoke, the radiance surrounding him slowly dissipated. Wang Hao opened his eyes, stared at Si Jingjun sitting cross-legged opposite him, and asked, "Senior Sister, how long have I been cultivating?"
“Eight days and seven nights.” Si Jingjun paused, hesitated for a moment, and then said, “Junior brother, you, you also practice martial arts?”
Wang Hao raised an eyebrow and could only say half-truthfully, "How could that be? Senior Sister, you're overthinking it. But my cultivation has indeed broken through. This realm is called Foundation Establishment of the Physical Body."
"Physical Foundation Establishment?" Si Jingjun was somewhat confused, having never heard of this realm before.
Wang Hao's reaction was to be expected, so he explained the method and principles of physical foundation building. As long as he could dispel Si Jingjun's doubts about his martial arts cultivation, it would be worthwhile.
A moment later, Si Jingjun exclaimed in surprise, "I never expected there to be such a level! Junior brother, you have quite a few secrets."
Wang Hao chuckled, then took out a white spatial jade bracelet and handed it over, saying, "Tomorrow is the intermediate-level relic exploration exam. I need to go back and prepare some things now. Senior sister, see you tomorrow."
