Chapter 53: Qj Cultivation Foundation Establishment!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Li Ming had already displayed shocking strength just from when he had reached the foundation establishment realm for body cultivation, so the outcome if he were to reach the foundation establishment realm for qi cultivation as well would undoubtedly make him even more monstrous!

Even back in the inner sect grand competition, when he was only relying on his body cultivation, he had already displayed immense strength.

In fact, his performance was so amazing during the inner sect grand competition that some outer and inner sect disciples even decided to start training their bodies.

After all, not everyone had outstanding talent in qi cultivation, so it was normal that some chose to try out body cultivation.

Li Ming was a living example of someone who had gone through the same experience and succeeded.

To be able to reach the foundation establishment realm for both body and qi cultivation was naturally an outcome that countless people would yearn for.

However, it was obvious that Lu Lan and Chen Qingke did not expect Li Ming to have devoted enough time and effort to qi cultivation to reach the foundation establishment realm all the while he had been tempering his body!

To be at the foundation establishment realm for both body cultivation and qi cultivation, even throughout the entire continent, it was probably impossible to find someone who has achieved such a feat, right?

“To achieve both body and qi cultivation foundation establishment… Junior

Brother Li Ming, is this even possible?”

“There aren’t any conflicting effects, are there?”

Such a feat was unheard of, and nobody had really ever tried to accomplish such a feat. As such, the risks were unknown.

Nobody dared to be careless.

In the end, nobody could really provide Li Ming with any guidance.

Li Ming could only rely on himself to explore and test things out.

Seeing the two women worrying for him, Li Ming said, “Don’t worry, there should be no problem.”

“Anyway, I just wanted to ask… How does one reach the qi cultivation foundation establishment realm?”

“The more detailed an explanation you can provide me, the better. Otherwise, if it does end up in conflict with the body cultivation foundation establishment realm, that would be quite troublesome.”

Li Ming did not hide anything. He had observed and studied Chen Qingke in the past, and he had learned a lot about qi cultivation from her.

However, that was in the past.

Now, they were both already at the foundation establishment realm, and he had achieved the body cultivation foundation establishment realm.

The strength they now wielded was on a whole different level compared to before.

Including the special circumstances, Li Ming indeed needed to understand as much as he could about the qi cultivation foundation establishment realm.

Hearing Li Ming’s question, the two women naturally knew the relationship between them.

They immediately explained their respective situations to Li Ming in detail.

After hearing the two women’s explanations, Li Ming began comparing what they were saying with what he knew.

When breaking through to the qi cultivation foundation establishment realm, everyone basically carried out the same operation.

Once they had broken through to the twelfth level of the qi refinement stage, they would condense their spiritual qi into their dantian and condense a foundation establishment stone platform.

The entire process was done within the cultivator’s dantian.

There was a huge difference between this and the body cultivation foundation establishment.

However, there was already a body cultivation foundation establishment stone platform in Li Ming’s dantian, and there was golden crow spiritual qi on the stone platform.

These were condensed from his cultivation of his body.

He did not know if the two would ultimately reject each other.

Nevertheless, now with both more experience and better understanding, Li Ming no longer hesitated.

He returned to the Martial Hall.

Along the way, Li Ming gained a new understanding of the Martial Hall.

Almost all the disciples in the five halls, those who had been around for a long time, knew that this Martial Hall was not so much a Martial Hall as it was a forbidden area for qi cultivators!

That was because of the spiritual qi siphoning effect that existed in the valley. They did not dare to go to this area at all, and neither could they survive here.

While they were in the area, their spiritual qi would be constantly siphoned and their cultivation would fall.

It was said that in the past, there were a few high-leveled foundation establishment disciples who entered the area. However, after they came out, all of them had their cultivation directly fall from the foundation establishment realm to the qi refinement stage!

And none of them had any chance to recover their cultivation.

Therefore, the valley where the Martial Hall was located was since regarded as a forbidden area.

It was a place that the other disciples did not want to get close to.

However, Li Ming obviously did not care about this.

It was good that no one came to this area. This way, there would be fewer fools coming to find trouble with him.

In any case, the influence in the area was not a problem for Li Ming.

He was in the body cultivation foundation establishment realm, and his blood essence was strong. In addition, he also had the purple entry [Ravenous Feast].

Although the place was strange and could absorb spiritual qi, it was completely unable to compete with the effects that came with his entry.

At the Martial Hall.

Li Ming had returned. He remembered Fang Ao’s words clearly.

Fang Ao had given Li Ming a deep impression of him, but at the same time, he felt disgusted toward him.

After all, not only did Fang Ao mock him, but he was also targeting Chen Qingke.

Li Ming knew that Fang Ao would not let him off easily during the assessment.

His main priority now was to increase his strength.

Li Ming did not think too much about it and immediately chose to establish his foundation in qi cultivation!

With the resources provided by the sect, Li Ming had all that he needed to reach the foundation establishment realm.

However _ what worried I.i Ming wag whether his foundation estahliqhment body cultivation would conflict with the qi cultivation foundation establishment realm.

Li Ming started with a hint of nervousness.

Reaching the qi cultivation foundation establishment realm required one to break through the twelfth level of the qi refinement stage and guide one’s cultivation to their dantian to condense the foundation establishment stone platform!

This operation was actually very similar to the Cauldron Transformation Art that he practiced before.

There were many similarities.

When breaking through to the qi cultivation foundation establishment realm, one needed to carefully look at their cultivation technique and the way their spiritual qi circulated. These all had a great impact on their success.

The qi cultivation technique that Li Ming cultivated was the Ancient Spirit Mysterious Art.

Although it was incomplete, the mysterious part of the [Ancient Spirit Arcane Art] was that it could spread one’s spiritual qi to every part of the body, including meridians, bones, flesh, and blood.

Therefore, Li Ming was able to easily shatter the twelfth layer of his qi refinement stage cultivation base and allow his cultivation to flow around throughout his body.

Now, he needed to directly start establishing his foundation!

When other people were breaking through to the qi cultivation foundation establishment realm, they were exposed to extreme danger every time they condensed spiritual qi in their dantian.

But when it came to Li Ming, the situation was completely different.

When the spiritual qi condensed in his dantian, it was directly condensed upon his body cultivation foundation establishment.

The spiritual qi that he condensed simply merged with his body cultivation.

At the same time, the spiritual qi was also absorbed by the golden crow.

This was all happening extremely fast. Before Li Ming could even react, all the spiritual qi from his twelfth-level qi refinement stage cultivation had already been absorbed!

Under his inner sight, Li Ming noticed that the foundation establishment stone platform in his dantian had changed.

The stone platform was originally ordinary, but at this moment, it was like a green lotus. At some point, flower petals had appeared and completely surrounded the golden crow.

These flower petals were formed by the spiritual qi from his qi cultivation.

Li Ming could clearly feel that he had indeed broken through the shackles of the qi refinement stage and broken through to the foundation establishment realm.

But why does it feel like that?

Why does it feel strange?

“Is this really the foundation establishment realm?”

Li Ming was curious, but he could not ask anyone about his situation. Regardless, he felt that he had indeed reached the qi cultivation foundation establishment realm.

Li Ming originally thought that another foundation establishment stone platform would be formed in his dantian, but what happened was completely different from his expectations.

Additionally, the speed at which he reached the foundation establishment realm felt incredibly fast and effortless.

He had not felt any sort of pressure whatsoever during the process.

And he had not felt any danger either.

This was an unexpected surprise.

It really was not what he was expecting to happen.

Although he did not quite understand the reasons behind why it happened so, he knew that he had succeeded.

He had now cultivated both his body and qi cultivation to the foundation establishment realm.

This had considerably increased his strength.

There was indeed a huge improvement from before.

With the increase in his qi cultivation, his future cultivation would obviously be much simpler.

Unlike for body cultivation, although qi cultivation required cultivation techniques to support it, the Ancient Spirit Mysterious Art was not bad.

At the very least, it could support Li Ming until he perfected his cultivation in the foundation establishment realm.

As for body cultivation?

This was what Li Ming was truly focused on.

The Golden Crow Body Tempering Art was a wonderful technique that could bring about great improvements to one’s body.

Naturally, it was also the direction that Li Ming really wanted to go.

In the Martial Hall.

For the next week, Li Ming spent two-thirds of his time on the Golden Crow Body Tempering Art and strengthening his body through the basic skills of body cultivation. During this period of time, Li Ming could feel that he was getting closer and closer to breaking through to the third level of his cultivation technique.

The remaining one-third of the time was naturally used on qi cultivation.

During this period of time, Li Ming had also carefully studied his qi cultivation. It appeared that his body and qi cultivation had automatically fused together when he reached the qi cultivation foundation establishment realm.

Although he did not know if there had been such a situation in the past, it was a good thing for now.

During this period of time, whether he cultivated the Ancient Spirit Mysterious Art or the Golden Crow Body Tempering Art, they would both increase his strength!

It was as if there was no distinction between them.

The spiritual qi nourished his body, and his body strengthened his foundation establishment stone platform, thereby increasing the foundation establishment cultivation.

They complemented each other.

This saved Li Ming a lot of trouble.

“Recently, why does it feel as if the speed at which the ruins have been siphoning my spiritual qi has slowed down?”

After he finished cultivating, Li Ming stood up and looked around.

After staying here for some time, he had to say that the place was indeed quiet.

He had made breakthroughs in his cultivation, but the ruins behind the Martial Hall were still filled with strangeness to him.

He had never found the source of the spiritual qi siphoning.

Li Ming was curious.

Previously, he was only at the body cultivation foundation establishment realm. When he ventured too deep, his blood essence surged and he could not manage at all.

But now, he had already reached the foundation establishment realm in qi cultivation.

His overall strength had risen significantly.

He felt that he might have a chance to discover something!

When he thought of this, Li Ming ventured in again.

The seemingly broken walls were scattered in an orderly manner. As soon as he entered, Li Ming could feel strong killing intent and resentment directed at him, and he also felt a sense of weakness.

Ever since he reached the qi cultivation foundation establishment realm, his divine soul seemed to have been strengthened by another level. In terms of perception, his senses had become even sharper.

He immediately locked onto the source..
