Am I not a nascent saint demon cultivator?

In addition to collecting materials related to Foundation Establishment Pills, Xu Yun has also collected other materials that are useful to him during this period of time.

This included materials suitable for cultivating the Blood Sacrifice Body Refining Technique, but unfortunately, it was not satisfactory, and he still could not break through to the third level.

Now that Xu Yun has the premium Foundation Building Pill, its effect on Qi and Blood is far superior to that of the Heavenly Yang Lingzhi. It no longer has any effect, so he either exchanges it with others, sells it, or uses it as a backup in case of some accident.

But since that's the case, it's better to make all the preparations for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage from the beginning and strive for a successful breakthrough in one go without any obstacles.

This Heavenly Yang Lingzhi happens to be both a Foundation Establishment spiritual item and an excellent body tempering material; otherwise, it wouldn't be suitable for cultivators to break through the Qi and Blood barrier.

"With the Heavenly Yang Lingzhi, I can break through to the third level of the Blood Sacrifice Body Refining Technique. Then, with the aid of the Essence Blood Foundation Building Pill, my chances of breaking through to the Foundation Building stage will increase by another ten percent!"

Xu Yun murmured to himself, and couldn't help but feel more motivated. He knew that the Blood Sacrifice Body Refining Technique was a superior secret method to help cultivators break through the Qi and Blood barrier.

Even if one is over sixty years old, as long as one breaks through to the third level of the Blood Sacrifice Body Refining Technique, one will have a chance to attempt the Foundation Establishment stage, regardless of age.

This alone shows that this kind of technique is very suitable for helping to break through the Qi and Blood barrier, not to mention that Xu Yun also has the support of a high-quality Foundation Building Pill.

The probability of him breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage at that time is simply unimaginable.

"Instead of looking back and forth, it's better to be fully prepared from the start and leave no regrets."

As Xu Yun said this, he decisively picked up the Tianyang Lingzhi from the wooden box and chewed it directly.

All medicinal herbs that can be used as foundation-building spiritual objects contain extremely rich medicinal power, and this Heavenly Yang Lingzhi is no exception.

The moment Xu Yun swallowed it, a strong burning sensation surged in his abdomen, as if a blazing sun was shining upon it, causing him intense pain.

However, he ignored everything and immediately focused his mind, circulating the energy path of the Blood Sacrifice Body Refining Technique, allowing the medicinal power of the Heavenly Yang Lingzhi in his body to be fully transmitted to his internal organs, limbs, meridians, and acupoints.

In an instant, the burning sensation intensified, even spreading into Xu Yun's mind, as if he were engulfed in a sea of ​​fire, about to be reduced to ashes.

buzz-

However, Xu Yun gritted his teeth and persevered, mobilizing his spiritual power to refine the medicinal power of the Heavenly Yang Lingzhi within his body, tempering his physique.

In an instant, Xu Yun's blood and qi surged, his muscles and bones exploded, and his bones collided. While bringing him unimaginable pain and torment, his body was also undergoing a constant transformation.

As his skin tore open, streaks of dark impurities splattered from Xu Yun's flesh, soaking his robes, and pieces of tattered bone and blood flew out and fell to the ground.

At the same time, new fleshy buds began to emerge, growing rapidly and soon filling the ruptured flesh on Xu Yun's body.

This process continued in a constant cycle of birth and destruction, causing Xu Yun's physical body to gradually transform.

Whoosh!

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Yun was covered in blood, as if he had become a blood-soaked figure, or as if he were wrapped in a blood-red cocoon, with no life force inside.

But the next moment, with a tearing sound, the blood-red cocoon suddenly shattered, revealing Xu Yun's figure. He had his eyes closed, breathing in spiritual energy, and unconscious waves of energy rippled around his body.

These shockwaves surged forth and crashed against the surrounding cave walls, causing all the restrictive patterns on them to surface and desperately try to block them.

But soon those restrictive patterns began to tremble wildly, as if they were about to explode at any moment.

Buzz!

However, the next moment, Xu Yun suddenly opened his eyes, and with a twitch of his body, the surging air waves instantly rolled back.

The violently trembling restriction patterns gradually stabilized and then slowly disappeared.

At the same time, Xu Yun slowly comprehended his physique, sensing that the medicinal power of the Heavenly Yang Lingzhi in his body had been completely absorbed, with no residue remaining. The original burning sensation had also transformed into a surging and vast power of blood and qi.

Breakthrough in the third level of the Blood Sacrifice Body Refinement Technique!

"call......"

Xu Yun let out a long breath, sensing the surging and abundant blood and qi within his body. He clenched his fist and thought, "With this, I am now absolutely confident that I can break through the blood and qi barrier in the three stages of Foundation Establishment."

The effects of the Foundation Establishment spiritual item were undoubtedly very powerful, directly enabling Xu Yun to break through the third level of the Blood Sacrifice Body Refining Technique. If others knew this, they would surely be heartbroken and scold him for wasting it.

But for Xu Yun, this was a necessary sacrifice. With the blessing of the third level of the Blood Sacrifice Body Refining Technique, coupled with his still-healthy physical condition, breaking through the Qi and Blood barrier was no problem at all.

He faced no obstacles in overcoming the barrier of spiritual consciousness; he had already transformed into a spiritual being ahead of schedule.

He had also cultivated to the point of perfect Qi Refining at the Magic Power Barrier, and with the assistance of high-quality Foundation Establishment Pills, the probability of breaking through to Foundation Establishment was now almost 100%.

The reason it reached 100% was due to the combined effects of the already transformed divine consciousness, the third level of the Blood Sacrifice Body Refining Technique, and the perfected Qi Refining.

Such profound foundation is something that even the most outstanding talents from powerful forces probably do not possess.

"I've done everything I can. If this still doesn't work, it's an injustice."

Xu Yun let out a long breath, a hint of anticipation in his eyes. After a moment of contemplation, he began to do some things.

Several days later, in Mofeng City.

On a street.

Xu Yun and Wen Lingyu walked side by side. The latter had her eyes lowered and her head slightly bowed, making it impossible to see her expression.

"Sister Wen, I'll need your protection this time as I break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. If I fail and something unexpected happens..."

Before Xu Yun could finish speaking, Wen Lingyu, who had been silent all along, immediately raised her head and hurriedly said, "No, Brother Xu, you mustn't say such a thing! I believe you will definitely break through to the Foundation Establishment stage!"

When Wen Lingyu heard that Xu Yun planned to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage and asked her to protect him, she was filled with worries.

On the one hand, she was very happy that Xu Yun trusted her so much, letting her protect him in such a major event as breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage. On the other hand, Wen Lingyu was also very afraid that something might happen to him.

After all, Xu Yun is not young, and is almost sixty years old. In Wen Lingyu's opinion, he may want to make a final gamble.

Therefore, Xu Yun might not be fully prepared for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and Wen Lingyu couldn't ask him directly, so she could only keep it to herself.

If Xu Yun breaks through, it will be a great joy. But if Xu Yun not only fails to break through, but also suffers the backlash of failure, being severely injured and having his foundation damaged are minor matters. He might even die.

For this reason, Wen Lingyu was very afraid, afraid that this was the last time she would see Xu Yun, so she cherished it all the more and even felt a little anxious about losing him.

"Sister Wen... Okay, let's not talk about this. I'll leave the matter of protecting the Dharma to you."

Seeing Wen Lingyu's expression, and even the slight tearing in her beautiful eyes, Xu Yun was taken aback, and immediately changed his tune.

In fact, Xu Yun said this simply to demonstrate the behavior expected of an ordinary cultivator breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

After all, he didn't want others to know about his foundation in Foundation Establishment, as that would inevitably lead to all sorts of trouble and disputes. Therefore, Xu Yun had to be careful.

Of course, what he said was true. If anything unexpected happened, he would hand over the management rights of Tianhe Tower to the other party in his will, which would be a way of honoring their friendship.

In the short time it took to exchange a few words, Xu Yun and his companion arrived at a mansion in Mofeng City.

The place is bustling with people coming and going, and the three characters "名" (famous) are prominently displayed on the plaque of the mansion.

Yunling Tower.

This place belongs to the Mofeng City lineage and has always handled transactions such as renting cave dwellings and collecting resources, including renting second-tier spiritual veins needed for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

If there is no second-tier spiritual vein, then one can only use a large number of spirit stones to absorb the spiritual energy needed to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. However, this consumes too much energy, so many cultivators tend to rent a cave dwelling with a second-tier spiritual vein to break through.

"What brings you two fellow Daoists here?"

Upon seeing Xu Yun and his companion, and their aura indicating they had reached the late stage of Qi Refining, one of the stewards immediately bowed respectfully.

Xu Yun stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "I want to rent a cave dwelling with a second-tier spiritual vein."

Upon hearing this, the steward immediately understood and looked Xu Yun up and down, shaking his head inwardly.

Judging from his age, he is at least in his fifties and doesn't seem to have much of a foundation. It's likely that he's approaching the age of sixty and wants to take a gamble.

He had seen far too many people like this. They either failed to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage and were left heartbroken and barely clinging to life, or they suffered a qi deviation and died. Very few cultivators actually succeeded in breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

The cultivator before me was probably no exception.

With that in mind, the steward quickly completed all the formalities and handed a token to Xu Yun.

"Fellow Daoist, the total number of spirit stones is..."
