Chapter 228: Chapter 219: Breakthrough, Foundation Establishment Level 5
Li Qingqing originally wanted to say something more, but Li Tangyu deflected the topic.
“Brother Lin…”
“You haven’t been to the Demon Race Secret Realm, so let me first tell you about the situation inside…”
Lin Jing was taken aback and then said:
“Okay…”
It seemed that Li Tangyu had something on his mind, but he didn’t want to share it.
Seeing this, the others didn’t feel it was appropriate to ask further.
“Inside the Demon Race Secret Realm…”
Following that, Li Tangyu began to explain to Lin Jing.
Lin Jing and the others stayed at the Li Family residence until it was night.
Elder Bai, Elder Yu, the Zhang Family Patriarch, and the Li Family elders talked about who knows what until very late, before they finished their conversation.
Then…
They were warmly treated by the Li Family once more.
And they agreed…
Three days later, Lin Jing and the other two would come to the Li Family.
They would be led by the Li Family elder to the Demon Race Secret Realm.
It wasn’t until deep into the night, after the banquet had ended, that they left.
After returning to his own courtyard, Lin Jing directly entered the System Space.
Inside the System Space, the Spirit Plants growing in the Spirit Field were lush and thriving.
The Eternal Youth Fruit tree that Lin Jing had planted first was now over a dozen zhang tall.
Within its canopy, several Eternal Youth Fruits were growing.
As the breeze blew, the leaves swayed back and forth, with fruits occasionally peeking from behind them.
However, these fruits were still green and not yet ripe.
The Eternal Youth Fruit tree had been planted by Lin Jing for more than two years now, and with the accelerated time flow in the System Space, almost eight years had passed.
It was still over two years until the fruits would ripen.
Taking into account the fourfold acceleration of time within the System Space, it would only be half a year.
Just half a year…
And the Eternal Youth Fruit tree would be mature.
At that time,
He could begin to concoct the Eternal Youth Elixir.
The Eternal Youth Elixir was different from other Third Rank Elixir Medicines; for concocting it, only the Eternal Youth Fruit tree, a Third Rank Spirit Plant, was needed.
All the others required some rare Second Rank Spirit Plants.
For Lin Jing, obtaining these Spirit Plants wasn’t really difficult.
Therefore…
Lin Jing just needed to wait for the Eternal Youth Fruit tree to mature, and then he could start concocting the Eternal Youth Elixir.
Afterward,
Lin Jing shifted his gaze away from the Eternal Youth Fruit tree and looked at the other Spirit Plants.
All of them were growing robustly.
Having checked on the Spirit Plants, Lin Jing nodded in satisfaction.
Then he headed towards the Alchemy Room.
Tonight…
He planned to begin his breakthrough to the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Since entering the Foundation Establishment Stage, Lin Jing found that the improvement of his cultivation was becoming increasingly slow.
It had taken him half a year to accumulate enough Spiritual Power to advance to the fifth level of Foundation Establishment.
If someone else could advance a level in half a year, they would probably wake up from their dreams laughing.
But Lin Jing was different.
He had the benefit of the System Space, where one day was equivalent to two days for others.
Moreover…
The concentration of Spiritual Energy inside the System Space was unmatched by others.
The level four space now had a Spiritual Energy concentration much more dense than that of a Golden Core Cultivator’s dwelling.
Lin Jing was so sure about this because…
He had visited the residences of Elder Bai and Elder Yu.
The concentration of Spiritual Energy in their dwellings was already inferior compared to the System Space.
For this, Lin Jing had even subtly inquired with Elder Yu.
He learned that the Spirit Gathering Array they had set up was no worse than those of other Golden Core Cultivators.
So, by that measure,
The dwellings of Golden Core Cultivators couldn’t match the concentration of Spiritual Energy in the System Space.
Besides the rich Spiritual Energy…
Lin Jing also occasionally took the Gathering Yuan Pills, which were free of impurities, to enhance his cultivation.
All these factors combined, it had taken him just half a year to barely reach the brink of a breakthrough.
It’s clear how difficult it was for him to make this breakthrough.
Then, Lin Jing collected his thoughts.
He went to the Alchemy Room and sat down cross-legged inside.
In the Alchemy Room, there was a 40% Divine Sense strength bonus, which was not only good for alchemy, but also very beneficial for breaking through.
After he sat down, Lin Jing stretched out his hand and took out two Pure Jade Boxes from his Storage Bag.
These contained the immaculate Gathering Yuan Pills.
In the past, one Gathering Yuan Pill had never been enough for Lin Jing’s breakthroughs.
Therefore, this time he took out two.
He planned to use these two immaculate Gathering Yuan Pills to assist in his direct breakthrough to the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
After taking out the Gathering Yuan Pills, Lin Jing did not consume them immediately.
Instead, he closed his eyes and began to meditate.
Because he needed to first return his condition to its peak before he could carry out the breakthrough.
In the blink of an eye, four hours went by…
Lin Jing, who was meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.
After that, he picked up the Pure Jade Box beside him and opened it.
Without a word, he put the immaculate Gathering Yuan Pill into his mouth.
However…
One pill was not enough.
Lin Jing then, in the same manner, opened the second Pure Jade Box and put the immaculate Gathering Yuan Pill into his mouth as well.
After swallowing two immaculate Gathering Yuan Pills in succession, Lin Jing once again closed his eyes and began to circulate his cultivation technique, transforming the overwhelming medicinal power within his body.
The amount of Spiritual Power contained in these two Gathering Yuan Pills was indeed substantial.
After swallowing the two pills, Lin Jing felt his entire body brimming with Spiritual Power.
Lin Jing ceaselessly circulated the Immortal Five Elements Technique, transforming the Spiritual Power within his body, compressing it into his meridians, and continuously infusing it into his Dantian.
Just like that…
Another half an hour or so passed.
Finally, Lin Jing had transformed all the Spiritual Power contained in the two pills.
By now, Lin Jing’s meridians were filled to the brim with Spiritual Power.
He was ready to assault the bottleneck of the fifth level of Foundation Establishment.
Then, Lin Jing circulated his cultivation technique and charged towards the bottleneck.
This time, the Spiritual Power within Lin Jing was surging, and the momentum was strong.
With a “boom,” there was a sign that the bottleneck had loosened.
Immediately after, Lin Jing did not hesitate and launched another assault.
This second assault was stronger than the first.
Lin Jing turned his Divine Sense inward and felt his own body.
At this moment, he could clearly sense.
The bottleneck had now developed some cracks.
Over and over again…
This third time, Lin Jing gathered all his strength and charged at the bottleneck.
Shortly after…
There was a “crack crack” sound.
The bottleneck could not withstand the assault,
And it shattered loudly.
And Lin Jing…
Had finally reached the fifth level of Foundation Establishment.
Upon breaking through to the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, Lin Jing felt his meridians widen substantially.
And the Spiritual Power in his Dantian, which had been overflowing just moments before, was now reduced to a small fraction of what it was.
The capacity of his Dantian had also increased substantially from the fourth level of Foundation Establishment.
Besides that,
Even Lin Jing’s Divine Sense had grown significantly stronger.
Lin Jing then opened his eyes and called out to the system.
“System, open the host panel.”
As Lin Jing’s words fell, a System Space panel appeared in front of him.
