Translator: 549690339
If during that time, one has a sufficient supply of elixirs, a relatively safe environment, and someone to protect them, they can attempt to break through to Foundation Establishment on the spot.
Like Meng Guan and Wei Fan, when the two were trying to break through to
Foundation Establishment, they both went into a quiet chamber and looked for the opportunity within,
As for He Song.
With the Smoke Array hiding him, He Song didn’t need to look for opportunities in a cramped chamber like Meng Guan and Wei Fan.
On the contrary.
He Song could walk freely within the coverage of the Smoke Array.
Even if he walked several miles away, he could attempt a breakthrough to
Foundation Establishment anywhere and anytime.
It’s not that He Song didn’t value his safety.
It’s because he could control the Smoke Array to hide himself at any time.
When inside the Smoke Array, with a small Spirit-Gathering Array providing spiritual Qi within the cave mansion for He Song, naturally, there would be no disturbances when he tried to break through Foundation Establishment.
The small Spirit-Gathering Array supplying the spirit field.
As well as the small Spirit-Gathering Array supplying He Song’s daily cultivation.
There were two small Spirit-Gathering Arrays within the range of the Smoke Array, which were enough for He Song to make a breakthrough here without absorbing the spiritual Qi from other areas around him.
Thus, even if someone came to this place while He Song was trying to break through Foundation Establishment, they wouldn’t discover that He Song was actually establishing his foundation nearby.
Under such circumstances, as long as He Song was around his cave mansion, he naturally wouldn’t have to worry about his safety.
Walking down the small hill.
He Song took one step at a time towards the river not far away.
He Song didn’t know the name of this river, but considering that there had never been any boats in it, there should be no mortal gatherings upstream or downstream of it.
Or there might have been some in the past, but they eventually vanished.
Without any curiosity about this, He Song came to the riverside, listening to the rushing water flowing by his ears and the occasional splashes of leaping fish; his entire being suddenly became calm.
However.
After standing for a long time.
He Song shook his head and opened his eyes.
“Back when Lao Meng and Wei were trying to establish their foundations, they both entered the quiet chamber, then after a few days, they succeeded.”
“It seems that within a few days, an opportunity for Foundation Establishment should appear.”
“If not, I’ll wait a little longer.”
Picking up a cobblestone from the riverside and throwing it into the river, He Song’s mood relaxed as the series of splashes rose.
Foundation Establishment.
It cannot be rushed.
The opportunity for Foundation Establishment.
It won’t appear just because I’m anxious.
After figuring out this matter, He Song’s urgency for Foundation Establishment also slowed down a bit.
I am an everlasting being after all.
As long as I’m not killed by anyone, I can live forever.
To live until the end of time, until the sea dries up and the rocks rot, until the world changes and the stars shift.
In the endless years, all I can do is to constantly make myself stronger and ensure my personal safety.
At the same time, if I can live a more comfortable life, that would be even better.
Also.
As an everlasting being, I don’t need to be in a hurry.
My time is always more than enough.
As his mood gradually calmed down, He Song casually picked up another cobblestone, just about to throw it forward, but he faintly felt that there was something wrong with the cobblestone in his hand.
Too round.
Even though cobblestones are generally round.
But being this round was rather abnormal.
Just as He Song wondered and looked at the cobblestone in his hand, what appeared before him made a hint of astonishment emerge on his face.
“What is this? A round white cobblestone? Or a round white jade? Or an egg laid by something?”
After carefully examining the egg-like object that resembled white jade in his hand, He Song thought for a while but still couldn’t determine whether this was a cobblestone, a piece of white jade, or an egg laid by some creature.
This object was oval, with a surface as white as jade, no sound when shaken, and a shadow in its center when exposed to sunlight, but it was impossible to determine how the shadow was formed. Is it impurities in the cobblestone?
Or impurities in the white jade?
Or yolk of the egg?
He Song contemplated for a moment, and a sudden flash of light appeared in his eyes.
If he couldn’t see anything on the surface, he would use the Spirit Vision Skill to see.
For cultivators, everything without spiritual Qi is garbage.
Even if a cobblestone by the roadside contains spiritual Qi, to cultivators, it is still a spirit stone.
A flash of light.
He Song’s expression changed.
It’s an egg!
Although the spiritual Qi contained in this egg was thin, at least it contained some spiritual Qi, and at the same time, He Song also saw signs of life in the egg using the spirit vision skill.
In other words.
Perhaps this egg could hatch something.
Bringing the egg to his eyes, He Song carefully observed it but ultimately couldn’t tell what kind of egg it was.
After thinking about it, He Song looked around to see if there were any other eggs nearby. Only when he didn’t find any did he take this nameless egg back to the cave mansion with him.
Inside the cave mansion.
Putting the egg he had just picked up on the table, He Song glanced at the fragrant spirit rice not far away, then looked at the egg in front of him.
Eat?
Or incubate?
That is the question.
Eating it would satisfy one’s appetite for a moment.
Incubating it, on the other hand, would result in a clueless pet.
Given the faint spirit Qi contained in this egg, whatever hatches from it will likely not possess a high level of intelligence.
Naturally, even if it were to be raised as a pet here, He Song would not have to worry about his secrets being exposed.
Moreover, having an extra small pet by one’s side can help guard the house.
Not that he would rely on this little pet to face his foes.
But it would also be good for relieving boredom.
After some contemplation,
He Song ultimately decided to incubate the egg and see what happens.
If something with high intelligence hatches, he’ll turn it into a dish.
If something with worrisome intelligence hatches, he’ll use a Beast Mastery Token to capture it as a spirit pet to guard his place.
Beast Taming, is one of the Hundred Skills of Cultivation Truth.
A Beast Mastery Token can be easily purchased at any Immortal Pavilion shop.
But the price is a bit expensive for Qi Refining cultivators.
However, for He Song now, a small Beast Mastery Token is nothing more than a small expense for some peace of mind.
With the Beast Master Token, he can bind the hatched creature.
He can control the life and death of the spirit pet at any time.
Even if it escapes when he’s not paying attention, Or if it’s captured by someone who wants to search its soul for his secrets,
Or even if it secretly harbors rebellious thoughts,
He can simply use the Beast Mastery Token to erase its soul completely at any time.
Having such a convenient Beast Mastery Token is the main reason why He Song thought of incubating the egg in the first place.
Given He Song’s cautious character,
He would definitely prefer not to deal with things he can’t control. A spirit pet, on the other hand, is something he can easily control.
Upon the master’s command,
Even if they are unwilling, they must charge forward.
Charging might mean nine deaths and one life,
But not doing so would mean certain death.
After picking up an egg by the riverbank, He Song found a suitable place for it to incubate and then returned to his search for an opportunity to establish his Foundation.
so,
A few days later,
At some moment,
He Song, who was standing at the peak of the mountain, suddenly felt a sense of urgency to begin attempting Foundation Establishment. Upon realizing this, a faint hint of joy flashed through his eyes.
For several days,
The opportunity for Foundation Establishment had never arrived.
But now, after waiting so painstakingly for several days, the long-awaited moment had come without any warning.
Currently, He Song had six Foundation Establishment Elixirs on him.
And he was inside the Smoke Array, where his presence and aura were completely concealed, so he didn’t need to worry about his safety. In addition, two small Spirit-Gathering Arrays inside the Smoke Array provided him with spirit Qi.
This way, even if he begins Foundation Establishment right now, no person or thing could disturb his breakthrough.
As for the egg… To avoid failing his first attempt at Foundation Establishment because of it, He Song had already thrown it into a hidden spot tens of miles away, allowing it to quietly incubate there.
He would never keep such an item of unknown origin by his side before it has hatched and been restricted by the Beast Mastery Token. Although a newly born cub would definitely pose no threat to him,
This was a crucial time for He Song.
Foundation Establishment was not a period during which any accidents could be permitted.
At the mountain peak,
He Song faced the east and gently sat cross-legged on a cushion.
With his eyes closed,
He started to transfer all the spirit power contained in his body to his Elixir Field without using the Thick Earth Formulas.
According to Meng Guan and Wei Fan, as well as other Foundation
Establishment-stage Masters’ insights in the Book Collection Pavilion,
To establish a foundation, one needed to direct all the spirit power in their body to their Elixir Field. contemporary romance
When the Elixir Field is filled to the brim, and all the spirit power in the body is directed into it,
One can then begin compressing the abundant spirit power in their Elixir Field.
The moment a sliver of mana is produced from the compressed spirit power is the moment successful Foundation Establishment.
Following that, they just need to proceed step by step, transforming all the spirit power in their body into mana in order to consolidate their cultivation and leave seclusion.
As for the cultivation after Foundation Establishment Realm,
It is, of course, similar to the Qi Refining stage, where one absorbs spirit Qi from the surroundings and turns it into mana, thus gaining enhanced mana and increasing one’s strength.
He recalled the Foundation Establishment experiences imparted by Meng Guan and Wei Fan, as well as the insights he had read in the Book Collection Pavilion.
After recalling every single Foundation Establishment experience and firmly memorizing their key points,
He Song began, unhurriedly, to move all the spirit power he could manipulate in his body toward his Elixir Field..
