Meanwhile, inside a cave.
Xu Yun sat cross-legged, calming his mind and spirit, his aura serene, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.
The next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, emitting a sharp aura, and his entire body surged with energy.
"It's time, let's begin!"
Xu Yun took a deep breath, took out a gleaming silver jade bottle from his storage bag, and after uncorking it, a crystal-clear pill landed in his palm.
It was none other than a premium Foundation Building Pill.
Xu Yun's eyes sharpened, and without hesitation, he swallowed it directly. He then immediately held the incantation and began to circulate the energy path of the "Hengyuan Gong". In an instant, the surrounding spiritual energy surged and continuously gathered on his body.
Buzz!
The second-tier spiritual energy surged and turbulently, continuously gathering as Xu Yun circulated his cultivation technique, forming a vortex-like shape above his head before crashing down.
These spiritual energies far surpassed those of a first-grade high-level spiritual energy in both quantity and quality. As Xu Yun absorbed and refined them into his body, he experienced intense pain.
This is the Qi and Blood Barrier, one of the three barriers to Foundation Building!
Only when one's own blood and qi are abundant and one's physique is strong can one withstand the erosion and tempering of second-tier spiritual energy.
If one cannot do this, their physical body will collapse because it cannot withstand the baptism of second-tier spiritual energy. This is one of the reasons why cultivators set a sixty-year age limit.
After all, if one is old and frail, it will be increasingly difficult to withstand the impact of second-tier spiritual energy, and there is even a great risk of death.
However, for Xu Yun, this hurdle of qi and blood was not a big problem.
Boom!
As surging waves of spiritual energy rushed in, they washed over Xu Yun's body, like a huge wave crashing down, threatening to completely engulf him.
However, Xu Yun paid no attention to this, focusing solely on maintaining his incantation and circulating his cultivation technique to absorb the second-tier spiritual energy into his body and continuously refine it.
At the same time, as the second-tier spiritual energy continued to wash over him, Xu Yun's body began to tremble, and a tearing sound could be faintly heard, as if something was about to explode from his body.
boom!"
The next moment, Xu Yun's blood and qi surged and boiled, like another, higher and deeper giant wave, which directly crushed all the abnormalities in his body.
Moreover, streaks of blood-red light emanated from his skin, surging violently, clearly the effect of the third level of the Blood Sacrifice Body Refining Technique.
This is a body-refining technique, especially for cultivators' blood and qi. Under its effect, the surging second-tier spiritual energy was completely refined and could not cause any trouble at all.
Buzz!
Meanwhile, within Xu Yun's abdomen, the medicinal power of the premium Foundation Building Pill began to take effect, continuously spreading to his limbs, bones, and internal organs.
Among the acupoints and meridians.
In an instant, the previously raging second-tier spiritual energy stabilized and, under the medicinal power of the premium Foundation Establishment Pill, was refined by Xu Yun and absorbed into various parts of his body.
Click!
With a soft sound emanating from within his body, Xu Yun seemed to have broken through some kind of bottleneck. The surging second-tier spiritual energy within his body was completely absorbed and refined, and a radiant light emanated from his body.
Breakthrough in Qi and Blood!
"It wasn't in vain that I spent so many resources to break through the third level of the Blood Sacrifice Body Refining Technique. With the help of the high-quality Foundation Establishment, I broke through the Qi and Blood barrier even faster than I expected."
Xu Yun sensed the changes in his physical body. His blood and qi surged, and his bones and muscles glowed. It was completely different from his physical body at the Qi Refining level, and a wonderful change occurred.
However, this was not the end. Layer upon layer of second-tier spiritual energy continued to surge from above Xu Yun's head, forming a turbulent vortex that enveloped his entire body, as if he were immersed in a long river of spiritual energy.
Xu Yun's expression turned solemn. He calmed his mind and focused on refining the second-tier spiritual energy.
"After breaking through the Qi and Blood barrier, one will face the Mana barrier, which requires cultivators to compress and refine their own mist-like Mana into liquid Mana. This barrier has stumped countless cultivators."
For most cultivators, if they haven't reached the peak of Qi Refining, are quite old, and don't have a Foundation Establishment spiritual object to assist them, then...
Even if one manages to break through the Qi and Blood barrier by sheer luck, it will consume most of one's strength, leaving little energy to compress and refine one's own misty magic power, transforming it into liquid magic power.
Therefore, most cultivators who reach this stage can only exhaust themselves and watch helplessly as the surging mist-like magical power within their bodies fails to transform and explodes.
However, Xu Yun was different. He had already broken through to the Qi Refining Perfection stage and had long since experienced the wonders of liquid magic.
In addition, he had previously been blessed by the third level of the Blood Sacrifice Body Refining Technique, so he did not waste much effort. Moreover, the medicinal power of the high-quality Foundation Establishment Pill was not consumed much. At this moment, they immediately rushed forward to assist Xu Yun in refining these second-tier spiritual energies.
Immediately afterward, under Xu Yun's control, all the second-tier spiritual energy, along with the medicinal power of the premium Foundation Establishment Pill, gathered in his dantian.
Buzz!
In an instant, the misty magical power that shimmered with a faint glow in his dantian began to surge and churn, intertwining and converging with the second-tier spiritual energy, making it even more violent.
It even affected Xu Yun's physical body, causing his blood and qi to boil and surge. He had to constantly suppress these abnormalities to avoid affecting the stability of his entire body.
At the same time, while stabilizing his dantian, Xu Yun, with the support of his divine sense, began to gradually refine the misty magical power within him.
compression.
Buzz!
With the aid of divine sense, Xu Yun was practically cheating. He could see every detail of the misty magic power and react immediately to any anomalies, resolving them as soon as they occurred.
At the same time, the medicinal power of the high-quality Foundation Building Pill in Xu Yun's dantian and dantian also surged in, and under Xu Yun's control, it was injected into these misty magical powers, making them more concentrated and stable.
Xu Yun concentrated his mind, his divine sense sweeping over every part of his dantian and sea of qi, manipulating the second-tier spiritual energy to inject into the increasingly dense mist-like magic power, which gradually began to ripple with layers of transparent luster.
Whoosh!
The next moment, the ever-spreading and surging misty magic began to compress, condense, and gradually integrate.
Throughout this process, Xu Yun's divine sense constantly observed all the changes, and from time to time stabilized the various abnormalities in his dantian.
Tick-tock—
Until a certain moment, a crisp sound of water dripping rang out, as if a switch had been turned on.
The next moment, accompanied by a splashing sound, all the misty magical power was compressed and refined together, forming drops of luminous, mysterious water that gathered in the dantian.
One drop, two drops, three drops, a full thirty drops of liquid magical power floated and swayed in the dantian, shimmering with a mysterious luster.
Breakthrough in magical power!
As for the final hurdle, the Divine Sense Barrier, it may be an extremely difficult obstacle for other cultivators and needs to be treated with caution.
But for Xu Yun, he had long since developed divine consciousness, which even played a significant role in breaking through the first two levels.
Therefore, this hurdle was practically meaningless to him.
Boom!
Xu Yun held the incantation firmly, and with a movement of his body, a surging and turbulent aura rose up and spread rapidly in all directions, instantly causing the entire cave to tremble.
If the surrounding restrictive patterns hadn't appeared in time to block all the anomalies, it might have even affected the outside world.
Foundation laid, success achieved!
