Am I not a nascent saint demon cultivator?

Time passed, and several months later.

Xu Yun has been running Tianhe Tower in Mofeng City during this period. Although he is still being suppressed by the Ziyu Zhao family, things are much better than before.

Under Wen Xinlan's guidance, Xu Yun also managed Tianhelou quite well. Although he didn't make a fortune, he was still able to profit from it.

Most importantly, Xu Yun was also able to quietly whitewash some of his shady dealings, which was incredibly easy with the help of Tianhe Tower.

On this day, in the quiet room of the cave, Xu Yunduan sat on a futon, concentrating his mind and regulating his breathing.

He made hand seals and mudras, constantly changing his incantations, while the surrounding spiritual energy surged forth and gathered around him.

Gradually, the spiritual energy was drawn into Xu Yun's body like a vortex, and he refined it as if swallowing clouds and absorbing water.

Buzz!

At the same time, Xu Yun's aura became more flamboyant, and layers of jade light rippled around his body, intertwining and chaotically covering his flesh, making his entire demeanor even more mystical.

As the spiritual energy was absorbed into Xu Yun's body, it flowed through his internal organs, limbs, and bones, eventually converging into his dantian.

In an instant, the dantian and dantian began to surge, and the spiritual mist that was originally spread everywhere also surged, constantly covering and enveloping the incoming spiritual energy, refining it.

Huhu——

The spiritual mist absorbed the ever-increasing spiritual energy, becoming increasingly dense, like rising clouds.

Just then, the spiritual mist seemed to reach its peak, becoming increasingly solid and clear, and began to collapse and converge, bursting forth with layers of extraordinary colors.

Finally, those intertwined and connected colors converged into a liquid-like mist, shimmering with a transparent luster and flowing erratically.

Boom!

Xu Yun slowly opened his eyes, exhaled, and at the same time, a powerful and profound aura burst forth from his body, surging outwards like a wave of air.

In an instant, all the restrictions surrounding the cave appeared, doing their utmost to block the leakage of these auras.

Once Xu Yun's aura subsided, the shockwaves disappeared, and a hint of emotion and joy appeared in his eyes.

"With perfect Qi cultivation and flawless Qi, one should have a greater chance of success during the Foundation Establishment stage."

Xu Yun murmured, "Generally speaking, a cultivator can only break through to the Foundation Establishment stage after reaching the Qi Refining Perfection stage."

If this is not done, the Qi mechanism will be flawed and the foundation will not be solid. In this state, it is very likely that the attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage will fail.

However, many cultivators are limited by the age of sixty and can only try their best to break through. Therefore, only the disciples of ancient and prestigious families have the opportunity and time to cultivate to the point of perfect Qi refining.

Xu Yun has now achieved this, and if word gets out, countless people will be incredibly envious.

"Hmm... The spiritual mist within this dantian and dantian has completely collapsed and condensed into a liquid-like mist, which must be related to the liquid spiritual power in the Foundation Establishment scriptures."

Xu Yun stroked his chin. Once he broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, the misty spiritual energy in his body would be purified and sublimated into liquid spiritual power. Both its power and efficiency would be many times stronger than the misty spiritual energy of Qi Refining cultivators.

This is why Foundation Establishment cultivators can completely overwhelm Qi Refining cultivators. When Qi Refining is perfected, the rudimentary form of liquid spiritual power is formed, which will undoubtedly be of great help when breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

Many cultivators fail to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage because they lack the nascent form of liquid spiritual energy that has been fully refined, and thus fail to sense its profound mysteries in advance.

"Now that I have developed divine consciousness and reached the perfection of Qi Refining, there is still some room for improvement in the Qi and Blood stage. All that is left is a genuine Foundation Establishment Pill."

Xu Yun murmured to himself, it was precisely because of the assistance of divine sense that his cultivation at the Qi Refining level was so smooth and natural.

From his current perspective, he has reached the pinnacle of both his cultivation and spiritual sense. He is also quite confident in his ability to overcome the challenges of Qi and blood. However, if possible, he would like to break through to the third level of the Blood Sacrifice Body Refining Technique.

In this way, he would be fully confident in breaking through the barrier of Qi and Blood.

However, this is still not safe enough. It would be best to obtain a genuine Foundation Establishment Pill. It not only enhances the breakthrough of the three Foundation Establishment stages, but also avoids the injuries caused by failing to break through Foundation Establishment, thus saving one's life and even giving one more chance to attempt Foundation Establishment.

However, Foundation Establishment Pills are extremely rare in the Yuan Kingdom, and Xu Yun doesn't have many channels related to them. So far, he has only collected one-third of the medicinal materials.

"Next, we need to focus all our efforts on finding the Foundation Establishment Pill and its related medicinal materials. Ideally, we should also be able to break through to the third level of the Blood Sacrifice Body Refinement Technique."

After pondering for a while and making a plan for the future, Xu Yun had a thought and summoned the light screen to see if the Initial Saint System had any suitable tasks.

Unfortunately, he still didn't gain anything and couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Before we knew it, time had passed and several years had quietly gone by.

While running Tianhe Tower, Xu Yun also collected materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pills, as well as other useful resources.

He spent a lot of effort to obtain a main ingredient for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, and he is still collecting other auxiliary ingredients.

Before he knew it, he had already collected two-thirds of the ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

During this time, Xu Yun has been searching for an alchemist who can refine Foundation Establishment Pills, as well as a cultivator who is willing to partner with him in refining pills, but unfortunately, there is no suitable candidate yet.

After all, this involves the cultivator's character, reputation, and past, and all sorts of information gave Xu Yun a real headache.

If possible, Xu Yun would naturally like to obtain a genuine Foundation Establishment Pill directly, which would save a lot of effort and time, but unfortunately, the conditions simply do not allow it.

While collecting materials for the Foundation Building Pill, Xu Yun also maintained contact with Wen Xinlan and Lin Zuibai's family, exchanging letters to keep up with each other's lives.

Xu Yun even asked Wen Xinlan to help him collect some medicinal materials for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill through the Ruohe Wen family's channels.

Wen Xinlan readily agreed and traded some resources that were useful to him with Xu Yun, while also conveying a message that surprised him somewhat.

"The eldest daughter of the Wen family, Wen Siyue, broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage a few days ago. The Wen family of Ruohe was overjoyed and invited friends and forces from all directions to celebrate with her. It was truly a grand event."

Xu Yun was not surprised to receive this news. After all, Wen Siyue had an extraordinary background and exceptional talent, so it was only natural that she would break through to the Foundation Establishment stage with the support of the Ruohe Wen family.

As for the promise Wen Siyue made to him back then, saying that she would come to Mofeng City to see him again, Xu Yun had long since stopped caring about it.

After all, Wen Siyue was already a Foundation Establishment cultivator, while he was still only a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator. The gap between the two was too great, so it was only natural for her to forget this past.

Even so, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"It's true that people's hearts are fickle and the world is ever-changing, but I don't care."

Xu Yun shook his head and then put the news out of his mind. He had known from the beginning that Wen Siyue was not from the same world as him.

Even if she had feelings for him back then, after all these years in Ruohe Wenjia's family, she must have gained more insights and understanding over the years.

He was just an insignificant passerby in her eyes.
