Am I not a nascent saint demon cultivator?

"After going through countless hardships, we finally obtained this Yuanming Pill."

Xu Yun murmured to himself, then opened the bottle and poured the pills inside into his palm.

He looked closely and saw that the pill was pure white and crystal clear, with two intertwined patterns on it, gleaming with a transparent luster, which subtly touched his mind.

In particular, the fragrance emanating from it is so wonderful that just one whiff is enough to make one feel refreshed and invigorated.

"The effects of the genuine Yuanming Pill are even better than those of the Spirit Lotus, so let me look forward to it."

As soon as Xu Yun finished speaking, he swallowed the Yuanming Pill in his palm and calmed his mind, regulating his breathing and circulating his internal energy to refine the medicinal power of the Yuanming Pill.

Buzz!

The next moment, a warm current rippled through Xu Yun's body, spreading to his limbs, internal organs, and gradually converging in his brain.

In an instant, Xu Yun's skin glowed with layers of jade-white luster, like a finely sculpted sculpture, incredibly divine.

He concentrated intently, ignoring the changes in the outside world, and was solely immersed in refining the medicinal power and circulating the Spirit Tempering Technique.

During this process, as he continuously absorbed the medicinal power of the Yuanming Pill, Xu Yun increasingly felt that his spiritual consciousness was beginning to grow and transform.

Things that he had previously ignored, couldn't see, or couldn't sense resurfaced, creating a very strange feeling that made him immerse himself in it.

Buzz!

As Xu Yun's spiritual consciousness began to grow, waves of intense pain followed, constantly affecting his mind.

However, as Xu Yun gradually refined the medicinal power of those Yuanming Pills, this medicinal power was like a gentle breeze, blowing away all the excruciating pain and having no effect on him whatsoever.

Even when refining the Spirit Lotus, Xu Yun still felt pain, but after taking the Yuanming Pill, even this pain was eliminated, allowing Xu Yun to concentrate on his cultivation.

boom!

After an unknown amount of time, the jade-white luster on Xu Yun's skin gradually dimmed until it disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, he slowly opened his eyes, let out a long breath, and sensed his own mind.

Xu Yun noticed that his spiritual awareness had become stronger than before, and although the strange feeling that should have disappeared when he broke through to the minor success stage had diminished somewhat, it was still firmly imprinted in his mind, lingering as if it had become an instinct.

"So this is the Great Completion Realm Tempering Spirit Technique? It is indeed extraordinary."

Under the powerful spiritual sense, Xu Yun felt that he was in better condition than ever before, and even had a lot of insights into his own cultivation. The bottleneck in his cultivation was starting to loosen.

This Yuanming Pill truly lives up to its reputation as a product of the system. The medicinal power it contains is all the essence extracted from rare and precious spiritual materials, making its effects far superior to the Spirit Lotus.

According to Xu Yun's original prediction, it would take him at least several years to break through to the Great Mastery level if he relied solely on himself.

With the aid of Yuanming Pill, Xu Yun broke through to the Great Perfection realm of the Tempering Spirit Technique with almost no effort, saving a lot of time.

"I am already twenty-six years old. If I can continue to develop my divine consciousness at this rate, I have a very good chance of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage before I turn sixty!"

Xu Yun murmured, his face filled with barely suppressed joy, his heart pounding with excitement.

There are three major hurdles to overcome in order to break through the Foundation Establishment stage.

These are the Qi and Blood Barrier, the Magic Power Barrier, and the Spiritual Consciousness Barrier.

The Qi and Blood Barrier requires the physical body to maintain a full and abundant Qi and Blood at all times, while the Magic Power Barrier requires cultivation to reach at least the ninth level of Qi Refining.

The Divine Consciousness Barrier, as the name suggests, requires one's spiritual consciousness to successfully transform into divine consciousness. Only by breaking through these three barriers can one successfully establish a foundation.

However, for ordinary cultivators, these three trials are as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Especially the Qi and Blood barrier. You should know that once a cultivator exceeds the age of sixty, their Qi and Blood will inevitably decline.

Not to mention that due to factors such as fighting or failing to break through, one's physical body may suffer hidden injuries, leading to premature decline of one's qi and blood, and even completely losing the potential to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

"However, I am different."

Xu Yun stroked his chin and murmured, "I used the high-quality Spirit Enhancement Pills given to me by the system to cleanse my body of hidden injuries, and I'm still relatively young."

"If I can develop divine sense ahead of time during the Qi Refining stage, it's equivalent to directly passing the Divine Sense barrier, and with the assistance of divine sense, my cultivation level can also increase rapidly."

"By then, it is very likely that I will reach the Qi Refining Perfection stage before the age of sixty, which gives me a much better chance of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage compared to other ordinary cultivators."

The amplification that divine sense brings to cultivators is quite formidable, especially for Qi Refining cultivators.

Take Xu Yun for example. Relying solely on the Spirit Tempering Technique at the Great Completion stage, the spiritual sense he has honed has brought him considerable benefits. He even feels that he is not far from breaking through to the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Keep in mind that this is before Xu Yun has even developed divine sense. If he does develop divine sense, he will probably be able to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining in no time.

"There is hope for the future, there is hope for the future!"

Xu Yun breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the future was bright, even though he hadn't taken into account auxiliary methods such as Foundation Establishment Pills and Foundation Establishment Materials.

If all these auxiliary methods are taken into account, Xu Yun's probability of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage is comparable to that of some cultivators with powerful backers.

Even so, if word got out, it would be enough to arouse envy, jealousy, and hatred among many independent cultivators.

After a moment, Xu Yun composed himself and began cultivating as usual. He did not slack off because of these advantages, but instead worked even harder.

Buzz!

Just then, Xu Yun suddenly opened his eyes and sensed fluctuations coming from outside the cave.

He took out the token, activated the formation, and soon a transmission talisman was in his hand.

Xu Yun infused a stream of magical power into it, activating it. Soon, a familiar voice rang in his ears.

It was Lin Zuibai's voice, and he told Xu Yun to go to his cave immediately.

"Has it finally arrived?"

Xu Yun solemnly put away the communication talisman. He naturally knew the purpose of Lin Zuibai sending the talisman at this time. It was obviously the result given by the person entrusted by the Muyun Chamber of Commerce.

Xu Yun dared not be negligent in the matter of joining the Muyun Chamber of Commerce, after all, putting everything else aside, the resources that the Muyun Chamber of Commerce had were still very necessary.

Countless cultivators have missed out on countless opportunities simply because they lacked access to resources.

Thinking of this, Xu Yun immediately got up, quietly left the cave, and headed towards Lin Zuibai's residence.

Before long, he arrived at Lin Zuibai's cave and threw a sound transmission talisman inside.

Soon, an entrance opened in the array light barrier surrounding the cave, and Xu Yun immediately stepped inside, where he also encountered Wen Lingyu.

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the anticipation and nervousness in each other, and slowly walked into the lobby, where they met Lin Zuibai.

"Please sit down first, and I'll talk to you all when everyone arrives."

Lin Zuibai's face was calm, revealing no emotion whatsoever, and he spoke softly to the two of them.

Although Xu Yun and Wen Lingyu were anxious, they still found a futon to sit on and waited patiently.

A short while later, Shi Han and Xiao Menglin also arrived and quickly sat down.

"Brothers and sisters, these are spirit contracts provided by the Twilight Cloud Merchant Guild. Please take a look at them first."

Once everyone had arrived, Lin Zuibai waved his hand, sending out several streams of light that landed in everyone's hands and transformed into jade slips.
