I'm caught in the cycle of endless competition, you're waiting for me in the apocalypse.

One day passed, two days passed, three days passed...

More and more people are being inspired to work hard in their cultivation.

Under Wei Ran's leadership, the young masters and ladies also managed to draw in Qi into their bodies on the fifth day after An Xin's advancement.

Seventh day

Aoyama Family (Group of 6)

Sunlight on the mountain peaks creates purple smoke: Hey everyone, do you remember how long it took you to advance to Foundation Establishment? It only took me one day to reach Foundation Establishment...

Magnificent Hill: Since you're primarily focused on medicine, it's not shameful that it takes you a little longer to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage!

Hai Li Quan You: Lao Qiu, just tell me how long you've been using it.

The magnificent hill: It took three days, but Junior Brother Zou only took five.

Hai Li Quan You: Hmm, about the same, it took me 4 days too. But this little baby is already 7 days old! I don't know what will happen next... I'm starting to worry.

Sunlight illuminates the mountain peaks, creating a purple haze: Senior brother is protecting the Dharma, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth: I used it for 5 days.

……

An Xin emerged from her state of selflessness and discovered that she was actually breaking through, which was quite incredible.

"Xiao Jiu, am I breaking through?"

"Yes, your spiritual sense has already expanded ahead of time. Moreover, in the past few days, because of the spirit-gathering array that your master set up for you, it has been continuously helping to increase the strength and width of the meridians in your body, and your spiritual power is also increasing."

"That's great, but why haven't I broken through yet?"

"Because your spiritual platform is not yet complete, the foundation has not been laid."

"What to do?"

“Xinxin, I think your spiritual platform can be larger and the foundation can be deeper. Follow my method to compress your spiritual power until it liquefies.”

"Huh? Spiritual energy transforms into liquid? Isn't that something you can only do in the mid-to-late stages of Foundation Establishment?"

"This is someone else. You drank spiritual liquid to cleanse your marrow and strengthen your bones before you even started cultivating, so your physical condition is better than the average person's. Moreover, your soul is strong enough, so you can take an unconventional path and strive for a perfect Foundation Establishment this time!"

"Perfect Foundation Establishment, yes, that's right. Using spiritual liquid as the foundation for Foundation Establishment, your Golden Core stage, Nascent Soul stage, and even your final Tribulation Transcending stage could potentially become perfect. Your combat power would then increase exponentially." Di Ting felt very excited just thinking about it.

"Okay, Xiao Jiu, you teach me."

An Xin meticulously sensed her body, her powerful divine sense guiding the rapid circulation of spiritual energy within her. Like a centrifuge, it continuously purified the spiritual energy into spiritual liquid, then introduced the rich spiritual energy from the spirit-gathering array into her body, transforming it into spiritual power to fill her meridians. This process of filling and compressing continued until her body was completely filled with spiritual liquid, her entire spiritual platform becoming crystal clear, as brilliant and solid as a diamond.

This process lasted for three days, until the evening of the ninth day after An Xin's advancement, when a burst of light shone on Dao Yi Building.

Master Zou was utterly awestruck as he watched An Xin's body radiate brilliant light, even displaying seven colors within it. His little disciple had shattered his common sense, and the aura emanating from her was far beyond what one would expect from someone who had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage. This feeling was the overwhelming power of someone in the mid-to-late stages of Foundation Establishment.

When he saw his disciple open his eyes, those eyes were filled with starlight, like the Milky Way in the universe.

After removing the protective and spirit-gathering arrays for her, Master Zou bowed down to An Xin and asked, "My dear disciple, how are you feeling?"

"Master!" An Xin felt a surge of warmth in her heart as she opened her eyes and saw her master. She smiled and said, "Disciple feels good. Foundation Establishment is complete, spiritual platform is solid, and divine sense has expanded."

"My disciple is truly a cultivation genius. I am deeply proud of him."

"Master, I've been promoted for a few days now."

"It took 9 days."

"Was it my master who protected me?"

"Yes, that's right. Your master knew from the beginning that your advancement this time was extraordinary, so I've been here to protect you." Master Zou patted his disciple's head. "Circulate your spiritual energy so your master can feel it."

"Thank you, Master. I'll start now." With that, An Xin mobilized the spiritual liquid and began to guide its circulation.

"Disciple, try to use your spiritual power to grab this ruler." Master Zou took a ruler and placed it in his hand, about 5 meters away from An Xin.

An Xin tried to concentrate the spiritual liquid in her hands. Then she discovered that she could intensify the energy fluctuations outside her hands by circulating the spiritual liquid. Because her mind was also focused on her hands, it caused the manifestation of her divine consciousness. Combining various energies, a powerful force struck out at the same time as An Xin's divine consciousness shifted, hitting the ruler.

Suddenly sensing danger, Master Zou immediately threw out the ruler and leaped away from the spot.

The ruler was shattered to pieces by an invisible force. An Xin froze on the spot…

"Master, Master, are you alright?"

"It's alright, it's alright, luckily Master is still quick-witted!" Master Zou walked back, looked at the remains of the ruler on the ground, and patted An Xin's shoulder, "Disciple, have you already liquefied your spiritual energy?"

"Yes, Master, my body is now full of spiritual liquid."

"No wonder your spiritual energy is so pure. Your foundation building is different from others; you have great power. You will now learn from your master how to control your power. Once you master it, you will be able to fly on a sword."

"Ah, Master, really? Flying on a sword!"

"Yes, now only your master in our Green Mountain Temple can teach you how to fly on a sword."

"Wow, Master, you're amazing!"

At this moment, the Di Ting in your sea of ​​consciousness suddenly spoke up: "You're lucky. This master treats you very well, and he's also the strongest fighter in this world!"

"Huh? So that means my master is at the high-level Foundation Establishment stage?"

"Yes, mainly because the spiritual energy in this world hasn't been around for very long, and there isn't much spiritual energy. Your master is quite a genius, otherwise he couldn't have cultivated to this level at his age!"

After a moment's thought, Master Zou continued, "Disciple, you've already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and your power is far too great. I need to discuss your upcoming teaching arrangements with your senior uncles and aunts. Also, while your spiritual power is strong now, without a good physique, it will hinder your cultivation speed. Moreover, I have a premonition that you will be the first person in our world to break through and advance to the Golden Core stage since the explosion of spiritual power. At that time, you will be tempered by tribulation lightning, and with your current strength, the tribulation lightning will inevitably be extremely powerful. Therefore, disciple, your body tempering must begin immediately."

"Disciple will listen to Master. Master, don't worry about your disciple. We'll take it slow and there's no rush. You said I might be the first one. So it's just like feeling our way across the river. Let's work hard together."

"Alright, come downstairs with me. Your friends are very worried about you, so go and share your concerns with them."

"Yes, Master."

At this moment, a large crowd had gathered downstairs at Dao Yi, drawn by the light.

"Did you see that? The light just now was exceptionally bright, and it lasted for a very long time!"

"Yes, only the abbot and junior sister are inside now. Junior sister must have advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage."

"That should be true, I've never seen anyone else advance in rank."

"Junior Sister is amazing."

……

"Xinxin, is it Xinxin?" Fang Yinuo asked Lei Yao, who was standing behind her.

“It must be her.” Lei Yao suddenly felt a sense of admiration for the strong. He hadn’t felt it much before because he didn’t know much about it, but after accumulating basic knowledge of the Xuanmen sect these past few days and having guided Qi into his body, he realized how amazing those Qi Refining stage people were. Now, An Xin had directly advanced to Foundation Establishment in such a short time, and was already on the same level as the masters in the temple. He could only look up to her.

"Has Xinxin already reached the same level as Master and the others?" Wei Ran stared blankly at the source of the light.

As An Xin followed Master Zou down from the first floor of the Taoist temple, she was immediately surrounded by people, like a star being fawned over. Everyone chattered around her, asking about her situation. She simply smiled and answered them with the simplest of words.

Seeing that she was surrounded by so many people, Master Zou said, "It's so late, let your junior sister go back and rest. We can talk about any problems tomorrow."

As everyone gradually dispersed, An Xin finally saw the young masters and ladies, and she was overjoyed. When she discovered that they had also practiced Qi cultivation, she wore her happiness on her face and hugged Fang Yinuo tightly as she approached.

"Congratulations, Ino! You've already mastered Qi cultivation! You're truly a genius!"

Fang Yinuo hugged An Xin back and patted her back, saying, "I should be congratulating you. You're amazing."

Then An Xin and Fang Yinuo were embraced by a strong arm. Renault hugged them loosely and said, "Congratulations, An Xin, and congratulations, Yinuo."

Next, Qi Mingxuan wrapped his arms around the three of them, then Wei Ran, and finally even Gu Shuohan awkwardly wrapped his arms around everyone to congratulate them.

At that moment, their hearts were filled with warmth and joy. And from that moment on, a deep bond was formed between them…
