Turning around, Lin Yi spotted Zhi Ling still perched on the courtyard wall. He waved over her with a grin, “Zhi Ling, come over here. Everyone’s gone now.”
It seemed that Uncle Master Li, who exuded a formidable and stern aura, had left a considerable psychological impact on Zhi Ling.
Zhi Ling hopped off the wall and rushed over to his side. She jumped onto his shoulder, still swiping her claws at the air, as if figthing an unseen enemy.
“Such a vengeful little one.” Lin Yi shook his head and chuckled, patting her small head.
At that moment, he couldn’t help but recall the fierce and sharp aura emitted by Li Yuan Qing. He was beginning to grasp why his uncle master wished for his participation in the extermination of evil, including the previous war against the Xuan Yin Sect.
Li Yuan Qing could arguably be the Golden Sword Lineage disciple with the most combat prowess. He gave off the impression of being just like a sword.
From all his past actions, it was evident that Uncle Master Li spent his life alternating between cultivation and combat, recruiting some disciples along the way, but barely having any friends.
In his heart, the disciples of the Golden Sword Lineage should enhance their combat power through continuous fighting and refinement.
He had heard some disciples say that Li Yuan Qing was highly strict with his disciples, often leading them to hunt monster beasts for training.
Perhaps, in Uncle Master Li’s eyes, he, an accidentally acquainted disciple, was also added to the training list, expecting him to gain some battle experience.
As for the potential dangers, they probably were not within his consideration. In the path of combat, like the invincible sword Qi, the best defense was offense, and even death could not undermine it.
This was completely opposite to his cultivational path. The Path of Survival emphasized survival; even if a great opportunity lay before him, he would not be moved if there was danger to his life.
Only by surviving till the end could one cultivate to the legendary realm. Constant fighting might be thrilling, but your grave would grow very quickly too.
In the following one or two months, Lin Yi continued to take on tasks while investigating the world’s local despots and bandits, delivering them a gift of physical transcendence.
After nearly two months, he earned 1500 merit points and over 2000 virtue points. Some excessively evil Qi-refinement-stage rogue cultivators provided many virtue points after transcendence.
Adding up to his previous points, he had a total of more than 3000 Virtue
Points. That should be enough to break through to the foundation, especially with the effect of the [Grain Wisdom from One’s Mistakes] title.
With these 1500 merit points, even if he successfully broke through to the foundation and his outward cultivation reached the eventual stage of Qi-refinement, he wouldn’t need to rush for tasks for a year or two.
Upon returning to the Jin Qiao Peak Cave Mansion, Lin Yi planted the Spirit Grass in his medicinal field, beginning the preparatory cultivation for his foundation breakthrough.
Half a month later, his cultivation smoothly reached the Complete Ninth Stage of Qi Refining. There were about four and a half years left till the reopening of the Dan God Secret Realm.
Lin Yi didn’t rush to break through, but instead headed to Tian Yun City to purchase a formation for concealing his aura, which he laid out around the Cave Mansion.
Next, he removed the [Petty Survivor] title he had been wearing and put on the associated [I’m Coming Clean Now] title.
This title came with a bonus effect that allowed him to outwardly resemble the third layer, so he prepared to experience the foundation-building realm’s aura and the difference in spell fluctuations first.
The instant he replaced the title, Lin Yi felt a powerful aura emanating from him—an aura belonging to a true cultivator.
However, all he could perceive was the change in his aura; he did not possess the genuine divine sense abilities and so forth of a Foundation Building Realm.
Even so, being able to get a simple grasp of the foundation’s extraordinariness would be beneficial, providing even a little help towards his foundation breakthrough attempt.
Lin Yi sat cross-legged in the Cave Mansion, continually releasing his aura, sensing the fluctuations of the Foundation Building Realm’s spiritual power— an essence utterly different from that of the Qi Refining stage.
This was why when a Foundation Building Realm cultivator appeared, one could detect them without even having to use the Spirit Wood Technique.
After a period of sensing, he started employing the Five Thunder Magic Technique; the Thunder and Lightning he released came with significant Foundation Building fluctuations.
If he hadn’t placed a formation around the area, such fluctuations would undoubtedly have been detected by cultivators on Jin Qiao Peak.
In contrast to the [Petty Survivor] title, which likened to thunderous roars but light rain, the [I’m Coming Clean Now] title was like heavy rain and loud thunder—it emitted an ample aura of the Foundation Building Realm, but the damage it inflicted was merely at the Qi Refining stage.
Therefore, this title was akin to a nuclear weapon – it was only good for intimidation, and using it would only lead to a quicker demise.
Having immersed himself in the aura for a day or two, Lin Yi formally commenced his Foundation Building cultivation. Aside from taking care of the medicinal field, he was continuously cultivating and charging towards the final bottleneck of the Qi Refining stage.
During these failed attempts at breakthroughs, the [Grain Wisdom from One’s Mistakes] title had successfully advanced to the third level, and its effect had also changed.
The previous second level gave a 20% enlightenment effect bonus while the current level offered a 40% increase. The usage period, stretching three days, had doubled to six days.
Compared to the second level, the cumulative enlightenment effect after breakthrough could increase by more than twice.
The title’s upgrade and the understanding of the Foundation Building Realm’s aura only further bolstered Lin Yi’s confidence in his breakthrough into the Foundation Building Realm..
