To be the best leader, you must also be the strongest leader!

In the practice room, Sun Yi sat cross-legged and began to carefully review his current practice situation.

After changing his cultivation method to the Five Elements Kung Fu, his true Qi was five times greater than before, and the purity of his true Qi also exceeded that of most cultivators of the same level, not to mention that he had an extra Dantian.

Just in terms of the amount of true qi, he has already surpassed most of the Qi Refining cultivators, and perhaps even some cultivators in the early Foundation Establishment stage are not as good as him.

Once the other four doors are opened, the amount of true energy will be even greater.

Moreover, five gates are opened in the body, and the true qi contained in each gate will be extremely pure single-attribute true qi. The quality of the true qi is definitely comparable to that of many cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building.

Sun Yi really wanted to know what would happen after he opened the other four doors, but without the Miro Beast, the hope of opening the other four doors was slim, so he put it aside for the time being.

Then the Golden Sword Technique of the Five Elements Sword Technique has been cultivated to perfection. The other sword techniques also need time to be cultivated, and we should strive to succeed in cultivating the Five Elements Sword Technique as soon as possible.

Then there is the Wind and Thunder Step. Although I have successfully practiced it, it is just the beginning. I still need to spend time and resources to continue to improve.

Then comes the body training. There is no body training technique at present. The Blood Spirit Fruit and Thunder Spirit Grass have no effect on me. There are no other body training spiritual objects in the sect, so body training can be put on hold for the time being.

After much thought, the most important thing should be to study the art of splitting the soul. How to strengthen his own soul is the problem that Sun Yi needs to solve at present.

In the following time, Sun Yi continued to practice and swallow demon pills to strengthen his sensitivity to the two kinds of spiritual energy of heaven and earth, wind and thunder, and continued to improve his wind and thunder steps, while practicing several other sword techniques of the Five Elements Sword Technique.

The rest of the time is spent reading books and consulting classics, continuing to look for ways to strengthen the soul and enrich one's knowledge base.

Hard work pays off. Sun Yi finally found a clue in an ancient book. The book mentioned that a special spiritual liquid called Heavenly Soul Liquid would be formed in some places where souls gathered. This Heavenly Soul Liquid could be directly refined and absorbed to enhance the soul.

However, this kind of Heavenly Soul Liquid is extremely rare and can only be stored in a few special containers. Once exposed to the air, it will quickly dissipate between heaven and earth. It is a very rare treasure of heaven and earth.

After discovering the records of this thing, Sun Yi specifically searched for classics related to the Heavenly Soul Liquid and the Soul Gathering Place, and finally found some records in this regard.

This Heavenly Soul Liquid is indeed a rare treasure from heaven and earth that can strengthen the soul. It can only be produced in the place where souls gather, and it cannot be taken away.

"It seems I have to find a way to find the place where souls gather." Sun Yi muttered to himself.

Just when Sun Yi was thinking about how to find the Heavenly Soul Liquid, he suddenly received a message from Elder Qin Chu. Sun Yi hurriedly got up and left the training room.

Soon he arrived at the central hall. At this time, the five Jindan stage elders and Er Gouzi were sitting in the hall with serious expressions.

Seeing Sun Yi coming, they quickly stood up and saluted respectfully: "Greetings, Master."

"What happened? Why do you all look so serious?" Sun Yi walked to the headmaster's seat and sat down, then looked at everyone.

Elder Jin Jue sighed and said, "Some problems have indeed occurred. In the past two weeks, a total of fifteen disciples who have reached the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage have failed in their attempts to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage. Ten of them have died directly, and another two have been seriously injured, almost losing their cultivation. The remaining three have relatively minor injuries, but their recovery will take considerable time and effort."

Sun Yi frowned when he heard this: "How could such a thing happen?"

Elder Qin Chu sighed and explained helplessly, "Recently, many disciples in the sect have been striving for the Foundation Establishment stage. They have already used up all of the sect's 200-plus Foundation Establishment Pills. Without the support of the Foundation Establishment Pills, it's very easy for everyone to fail in their attempts. Once they fail, the consequences will be very serious."

Sun Yi was stunned and looked at Elder Qingchu in surprise: "I met two disciples who successfully reached the Foundation Establishment Stage in the Battle Tower before. It seems that neither of them used the Foundation Establishment Pill."

"I remember the two disciples were named Wan Yu and Zhou Yun." Sun Yi's mind flashed with the images of two disciples who had broken through their realms because of his motto.

Er Gouzi suddenly spoke up: "Master, I know these two disciples you mentioned. They are both geniuses with top-grade spiritual roots. Even without using the Foundation Establishment Pill, it would be easy for them to succeed in building their foundation."

"However, the lower the quality of the spiritual roots, the harder it is for the disciples to reach the Foundation Establishment stage. The success rate for disciples with medium-quality spiritual roots who reach the Foundation Establishment stage without using Foundation Establishment Pills is only 30%, and the success rate for disciples who use Foundation Establishment Pills is only about 50%."

"As for disciples with lower-grade spiritual roots, the success rate for reaching the Foundation Establishment stage is even lower. So far, there has not been a case in the sect where a disciple with lower-grade spiritual roots has successfully reached the Foundation Establishment stage without using a Foundation Establishment Pill."

"Even if a disciple with low-grade spiritual roots uses the Foundation Establishment Pill, the chance of successfully reaching the Foundation Establishment stage is less than 10%."

"That's why many sects are unwilling to recruit cultivators with low-grade spiritual roots. Many sects even require mid-grade spiritual roots as the minimum requirement for recruiting disciples."

"Due to special reasons, our Qingyun Sect has quite a few disciples with low-grade spiritual roots. Previously, most of these disciples had very low cultivation bases. Now, due to the sect's policies, many disciples with low-grade and medium-grade spiritual roots have improved their cultivation bases and reached the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage."

"Before we had the Foundation Establishment Pill, our success rate was acceptable. Now that we don't have it, the situation is getting worse."

Er Gouzi's face looked a little heavy, because he was also a cultivator with low-grade spiritual roots. Even if he had the Foundation Establishment Pill, his success rate in reaching the Foundation Establishment stage would be less than 10%.

Sun Yi couldn't help but frown after hearing Er Gouzi's explanation. This was the first time he had heard of such a situation. Thinking about his own low-grade spiritual roots, wouldn't his chances of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage using the Foundation Establishment Pill be less than 10%? Wouldn't that be courting death? This problem had to be solved!

"Can the Alchemy Hall refine the Foundation Establishment Pill?" Sun Yi turned to look at Elder Ye Luo.

Elder Ye Luo smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Only five sects in the entire Tianyuan Continent can refine Foundation Establishment Pills. They control the main ingredients for refining Foundation Establishment Pills, so even if we knew how to refine them, we wouldn't be able to. We all exchanged our Foundation Establishment Pills for spirit stones and resources."

Sun Yi frowned, his expression becoming extremely grim. "I can't even control such an important strategic material. I guess those forces that can refine Foundation Establishment Pills will not only charge a high price, but also provide only a limited quantity."

"Master, how did you know? Foundation Establishment Pills are in very short supply. Our Qingyun Sect can only purchase twenty of them every ten years, and each one is worth fifty thousand spirit stones. These Foundation Establishment Pills in our sect were accumulated with great difficulty."

Sun Yi curled his lips. Isn't this a typical bottleneck problem? This is how the Americans deal with China, controlling core technologies, limiting supply, and earning huge profits.

"How do you think we should deal with this?" Sun Yi's eyes swept across the faces of several Jindan stage elders.

Everyone fell silent, and finally Elder Li Tai spoke up, "I think we should send someone out to look for supplies and try to buy some Foundation Establishment Pills. We're not short of resources these days, and as long as we're willing to pay a higher price, we won't have trouble finding Foundation Establishment Pills."

Sun Yi shook his head and looked at Elder Li Tai: "Elder Li Tai, you are too optimistic. Some things cannot be bought by simply raising the price. Foundation Establishment Pills are not ordinary resources. The forces that control Foundation Establishment Pills will not release too many. Moreover, even if we can buy some Foundation Establishment Pills, it will not last long. We must solve the fundamental problem."

Sun Yi's experience was different from that of these elders. He knew very well that some things could not be bought with money, just like when China wanted to buy a lithography machine.

Therefore, Sun Yi decided to solve this bottleneck problem fundamentally. The core technology can only be controlled in his own hands!
