Chapter 143 - 143 Successful Foundation Establishment
Then, Lin Jing opened his eyes again.
He stuffed the remaining two Pure Foundation Building Elixirs into his mouth in one go…
This time, Lin Jing didn’t believe he could still fail to break through that bottleneck.
After almost four hours of refining, Spiritual Energy was everywhere within Lin Jing’s body, and he felt as if he was about to burst from it.
Following that, Lin Jing circulated his Cultivation Technique, and launched a direct assault.
“Boom”
A mighty surge of Spiritual Power broke through, creating many cracks in the calm surface, and Lin Jing felt the Foundation Establishment Stage was right before his eyes.
And then, he continued to attack…
“Boom”
“Crack”
As if something had shattered, the obstruction vanished in an instant, and at that moment, Lin Jing felt an utter relief throughout his body, particularly within his Divine Sense.
It had suddenly become several times more powerful.
Even the Spiritual Power that had filled his body just a moment ago was instantly drawn into his meridians, flowing through them.
At this time, a system prompt sounded.
“Ding”
“System prompt: Congratulations to the host for successfully breaking through to a new realm, reward: 20 Harvest Points.”
“I did it…”
As Lin Jing was indulging in the joy of his breakthrough, he suddenly smelled a foul odor and felt something sticky on his body.
Lin Jing opened his eyes and saw that many sticky black substances had seeped out from his body, which were the source of the stench.
Elder Yu had once mentioned that everyone purges impurities from their body during Foundation Building, and Lin Jing knew that this must be the impurities being expelled from his body.
Enduring the foul smell, Lin Jing took off his clothes and then used the Spiritual Energy Water Technique to wash away the filth.
After cleaning himself, Lin Jing circulated his Cultivation Technique to dry off the moisture, and then took out a clean set of clothes from his Storage Bag and put them on.
He then felt refreshed.
Next, Lin Jing cleaned up the clothes he had taken off and the water used to wash his body, wrapping them together.
He planned to take them out of the System Space later for disposal.
Such impurities were toxic, and while it would have been fine to bury them randomly outside, he was inside the System Space and could not simply discard them.
After all, this was his personal space. Lin Jing then said out loud,
“Open the system panel.”
Immediately, a panel appeared before Lin Jing’s eyes. He hadn’t checked the system panel in a long time, so he looked up… System Space (Level 3)
Remaining Time: 212 hours (Accumulable: 300 hours)
Host: Lin Jing
Spirit Field Range: 30 mu
Spiritual Energy Concentration: 3 Time Flow Speed: 3
Daily Entry Time: 6 hours
Upgrade Required: (1260/2000 Harvest Points)
Special Functions: Alert, Observe, Time Accumulation, Four Seasons,
Environmental Terrain, Spirit Plant Repair, Enhancement Attachment.
In the past half a year, thanks to frequent Alchemy, Lin Jing had earned quite a few Harvest Points just from making Pure Elixirs.
In addition to those he got from mature Spirit Plants, he now had accumulated 1260 Harvest Points, and the next system upgrade was not far away. Next, Lin Jing reached out and clicked on the ‘Host’ section of the panel.
His own information panel appeared before his eyes.
Lin Jing (26/300)
Spiritual Root: Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root (Low Grade)
Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Stage – First Layer (8%)
Cultivation Techniques: Immortal Dao Five Elements Art, Ling Yin Imperial
Sword Technique (Second Layer), Controlling Fire Technique (Perfection)
Secondary Occupation: Third-Rank Pill Master (2613/30000)
Advancing to Foundation Establishment had significantly increased Lin Jing’s lifespan. He now had a full three hundred years, and he was only 26 years old. According to the flow of time in the System Space, his actual age should have already exceeded 28 years.
However, when he was inside the System Space, his body’s transformation seemed to be calculated based on the external flow of time.
That is to say…
Now, his body’s growth rate inside the System Space had been slowed down by three times, always the same as the people outside.
This discovery left Lin Jing somewhat incredulous.
At the same time, he couldn’t help but marvel at the power of the System.
Lin Jing looked on, and everything else on the panel was normal, except his cultivation had increased by an additional 8%…
Besides…
His Controlling Fire Technique had also been cultivated to perfection, incapable of any further improvement.
Then, Lin Jing had no intention of leaving the System Space.
Instead, he sat down directly and started to meditate and consolidate his cultivation.
He had just advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage and needed to stabilize his realm, and the dense spiritual energy within the System Space could speed up the stabilization of his realm.
Therefore, Lin Jing did not go out.
Time passed, and when Lin Jing felt it was about right and came out, it was already close to midday.
Lin Jing did a quick calculation and realized that he had spent no short period inside the System Space, exceeding one day’s time.
Next, Lin Jing buried the black impurities and the set of clothes he had changed out of by digging a hole in the backyard and covering it.
After covering it up, Lin Jing cleaned himself again, and after sniffing, he found no strange smell on his body, which set his mind at ease. Subsequently, Lin Jing opened the door and headed out.
Today, he had to make a trip to Yuebaolou.
Upon arriving at Yuebaolou, Lin Jing walked straight through the hall to the backyard of Yuebaolou.
Along the way…
He encountered quite a few people, many of whom greeted Lin Jing.
Lin Jing also nodded in response.
Ever since Elder Yu had advanced to the Golden Core stage, Lin Jing’s name had gradually become known to more people, many of whom recognized him and were exceptionally enthusiastic towards him.
This made Lin Jing rather uncomfortable, so he rarely visited Yuebaolou unless it was necessary.
Especially since Elder Yu was in closed-door cultivation, and Elder Bai was also away from Fang Market due to other matters, he was less likely to visit without a reason.
But, today was different…
Because today was the day he needed to turn in Elixir Medicines and collect alchemy materials.
Upon reaching the backyard, he unexpectedly encountered the pill master surnamed Wang and Yu Yan once again.
It seemed as if he was fated to run into these two, as it had happened several times already.
“Lin Daoyou…”
When there was still a considerable distance between them, the alchemist surnamed Wang started greeting Lin Jing.
Only when the three of them drew closer did Yu Yan also start to greet him:
“Lin Daoyou…”
“Wang Daoyou, Yu Daoyou…” Lin Jing responded.
At this moment, the alchemist surnamed Wang spoke up again and asked:
“Daoyou, are you also here to turn in Elixir Medicines?”
“Yes…” Lin Jing answered.
“Just recently promoted to a second-grade Pill Master, Lin Daoyou can complete tasks with ease, truly admirable,” the alchemist surnamed Wang complimented.
“I just managed to do so somehow…”
Lin Jing simply responded, then took his leave from the two men.
“I still have several batches of Elixir Furnace Medicine to concoct today, so I
won’t chat any longer… Wang Daoyou, Yu Daoyou, farewell.”
“Since Lin Daoyou is busy, we won’t disturb you. Farewell, Lin Daoyou,” the alchemist surnamed Wang said with a fist salute.
“Farewell…” Yu Yan also saluted with his fist.
Lin Jing returned the salute and then departed.
After Lin Jing had walked some distance away, the alchemist surnamed Wang finally expressed his admiration.
“Being the nephew of the true person Yu and still so dedicated, Lin Daoyou truly is a role model for our generation…”
Yu Yan, standing beside him, looked at the alchemist surnamed Wang with a complicated expression but did not speak..
