Maybe I shouldn't die.

Until the spiritual energy in the Dantian was compressed to a critical point, a drop of light golden spiritual liquid condensed from the center of spiritual power compression and dripped into the Dantian, followed by the second drop, and the third drop~

As time went by, more and more light golden spiritual liquid was condensed, until the last trace of spiritual energy in the Dantian was condensed into spiritual liquid. At this time, there was a small pool of spiritual liquid gathered below the Dantian.

Fang Yue sped up the practice of her skills, continuously absorbing the spiritual energy gathered from the outside world into her dantian. After the spiritual energy filled her dantian, she continued to compress it, repeating this process until her dantian was filled with light golden spiritual liquid. Fang Yue then knew that she had completed the first step of foundation building - refining her true essence.

The next step was to use her true essence to condense her meridians and spiritual consciousness. She swallowed and exhaled the Heart-Condensing Liquid into her stomach and practiced her skills, introducing the spiritual liquid in her Dantian and the medicinal power of the Heart-Condensing Liquid into her meridians, circulating through her body and finally entering her sea of ​​consciousness.

When the spiritual consciousness came into contact with the light golden spiritual liquid, it became visibly stronger. As more and more spiritual liquid flowed into the sea of ​​consciousness, the spiritual consciousness in the sea of ​​consciousness also continued to grow, spreading slowly and steadily until the entire sea of ​​consciousness was filled with spiritual consciousness.

The light golden spiritual liquid was still flowing into the sea of ​​consciousness continuously. Finally, as if it had reached a critical point, the sea of ​​consciousness suddenly expanded, and then continued to expand until it became several times its original size. The sea of ​​consciousness had been condensed, and the next step was to establish the most important foundation of the Tao.

She took the two spiritual objects of water and wood, the diluted water of life and the leaves of the tree of life into her stomach, and practiced her skills to gather all the medicinal power into her dantian. Immediately, blue and green spiritual liquids appeared in her dantian, mixing with the light golden true essence.

Then, under the guidance of her spiritual consciousness, she began to use these true essences to condense the Taoist platform. As her spiritual consciousness continued to condense and compress these true essences, slowly a blue, green and gold Taoist platform prototype emerged.

As soon as the prototype of the Taoist platform appeared, the true energy in the Dantian gathered towards it. With the addition of true energy, the Taoist platform became more solid. At this time, the spiritual energy from the outside world formed a vortex, continuously pouring into the Tianling point on Fang Yue's head.

As time went by, the Dao platform became more solid, and Fang Yue's cultivation also became more solid. Finally, a light golden Dao platform was formed in her Dantian. The Dao platform was stable and solid, and Fang Yue knew that she had completed her foundation.

Now is not the time to rest. She continues to absorb spiritual energy from the outside world to consolidate her cultivation. Until the Taoist platform is extremely stable and there is no risk of collapse even if her true essence is drained, Fang Yue stops. Only then can her cultivation in the initial stage of foundation building be considered stabilized.

When he opened his eyes, the thick spiritual mist around him had become visibly thinner. Fang Yue used the dust removal technique to clean up the impurities discharged from his body during the foundation-building process. After successfully building the foundation, he could use basic spells and the spiritual energy consumed was negligible.

Then, she took out a timing device to check the time. It took her three months to build her foundation and consolidate her cultivation. Tomorrow would be the expiration date of her cave residence. She had estimated the time pretty well.

After walking out of the cave, Fang Yue felt that the world in front of her eyes became clearer. She could even see the beetles on the leaves in the distance. She knew that this was because her five senses had been enhanced after the successful foundation building, and she still needed some time to adapt.

Following the path they came from, they arrived in front of the bamboo house. The man in white robe was still playing with the cubs of the iron-eating beasts. When he saw Fang Yue coming, the bamboo door of the courtyard opened automatically.

Fang Yue walked in, bowed, and handed the token to the man in white robe.

"My disciple has completed his foundation, so I am here to return the token."

The man nodded, took the token, and said:

"Which peak do you want to go to?"

Fang Yue has learned that there are seven peaks in the inner sect, namely the Spiritual Medicine Peak, Spiritual Beast Peak, Talisman Peak, Pill Peak, Sword Peak, Weapon Peak, and the Main Peak. Among them, the Main Peak is where the sect master's lineage is located and is the most prosperous.

"Disciple wants to go to Fufeng." Fang Yue learned the art of talismans, so Fufeng was the most appropriate choice.

The man in white robe nodded, took out the token and sent a message, then motioned Fang Yue to wait on the side. He had already notified Fu Feng to come and pick him up.

Fang Yue was waiting on the side, when she suddenly felt something pulling at her clothes. She looked down and saw it was the iron-eating beast cub Huahua, who had run to her feet and was trying to climb up her legs.

Fang Yue glanced at the man in white robe, and seeing that he had no intention of stopping her, she bent down and picked up Hua Hua.

"Huahua still remember me?"

"Hmm~hmm~"

"But you want spiritual fruit?"

"Hmm~hmm~"

Fang Yue rubbed Huahua's head, took out some spiritual fruits and handed them to it. After receiving the spiritual fruits, Huahua was very happy and immediately struggled to get down.

Fang Yue obediently put Hua Hua down, and saw it running back to the group and distributing the spiritual fruits to its friends. Immediately, the group of iron-eating beast cubs could be heard making “Hmm~Hmm~” sounds one after another.

I don’t know what Huahua said to the other cubs, but all of them turned around and looked at Fang Yue. Fang Yue felt something was wrong. Sure enough, the next moment, the iron-eating cubs all ran towards her. Soon, she was surrounded. She was surrounded by iron-eating cubs, and some of them were climbing up her legs.

Fang Yue was stunned and looked at the man in white robe, hoping that he would stop it, but the man did not intend to stop it. He just looked at the cubs lovingly.

Fang Yue had no choice but to think for a while, then squatted down, took out all the spiritual fruits from the storage bracelet, placed them in front of the cubs, and said:

"This is all the spiritual fruit."

The cubs immediately became excited, and then a taller cub came out and began to divide the spiritual fruits. There was a chorus of "hmm~hmm~" sounds, and Fang Yue couldn't understand what these iron-eating beast cubs were saying. The spiritual fruits were distributed very evenly.

After the spiritual fruits were distributed, the iron-eating beast cubs all said "Hmm~Hmm~" to her twice and ran towards the man in white robe.

She ran to the man in white robe and continued playing. The other cubs started eating the spiritual fruits in their hands, except Huahua. Fang Yue saw her handing the spiritual fruit to the man in white robe, as if signaling him to eat it.

The smile on the white-robed man's face became a little gentler. He took the spiritual fruit from Huahua's hand and ate it in just a few bites. When Huahua saw that the man had finished eating, she also returned to the herd to play.

Then he took out a jade slip, threw it to Fang Yue, and said:

"I won't take advantage of you. I'll trade this skill for you."

Fang Yue took the jade slip and put it directly into the storage bracelet without checking it. She bowed to the man and thanked him sincerely:

"Thank you for the reward, senior." She had only fed some low-level spiritual fruits, and it was purely an accident that she got the jade slip. Since the senior was willing to give it to her, she would just accept it. She would not do such an ungrateful thing as refusing the reward from a high-level cultivator.

Fu Feng's disciple arrived soon. There was a knock on the door outside the courtyard. Fang Yue said goodbye to the man and walked out of the courtyard.
