Qin Renhuang just became an immortal, and you told me this is the prehistoric time

Ying Xuan was seated in the Star Palace at the heart of Tianxing Mountain. Although he appeared to be in seclusion, his divine sense covered the entire mountain range, controlling all changes.

Before him floated a peculiar phantom of a stone door—the very projection of the stone gate connecting to the Qin world.

He did not interfere too much with the daily operations of the various branches, but focused his main energy on "organization" and "replication".

With the complete integration of the seven major sects, a vast amount of systematic technical texts were gathered in each hall. The Weapon Forging Hall obtained the complete weapon forging heritage of the Giant Sword Sect, the Hidden Moon Sect, and other sects, as well as countless improvement techniques and material formulas;
The Alchemy Hall acquired the alchemy secrets and numerous pill formulas from sects such as Qingxu Sect and Huangfeng Valley; the Spirit Plant Hall obtained methods from various sects for cultivating spiritual herbs, improving spiritual soil, and even cultivating spiritual beasts; the Talisman Making Hall and the Array Formation Hall also reaped considerable rewards.

Ying Xuan's divine sense penetrated deep into each hall. The "skills," "tips," and "experiences" that the new Nascent Soul Hall Master and Golden Core Deputy Hall Master had led their disciples to categorize, refine, and summarize were all copied and recorded by him silently. Then, through the stone gate projection, they were transmitted back to a specific secret chamber deep within the imperial palace of the Great Qin world.

To the cultivators of the Celestial Star Sect, these might just be common sense, summaries of experience from their predecessors, or even just top-tier techniques. But in Ying Xuan's eyes, these were the true treasures of this cultivation civilization!
It is the crystallization of wisdom that countless generations of cultivators have painstakingly explored, accumulated, and perfected, expending countless materials, time, and even lives! It is the "technology" that puts the utilization of spiritual energy, material processing, and understanding of laws into concrete practice!
What the Qin world lacks is precisely these "technologies." With them, the Qin world's alchemy, weapon crafting, and spiritual plant cultivation systems can save a great deal of time spent exploring and experimenting on their own, and can directly start from a relatively mature point of view and develop rapidly.

"The method for crafting the Earth Fire Sealing Disc..."

Ying Xuan's divine sense swept over a jade slip compiled by the Refining Hall. It contained detailed records of three different schools of thought, all of which were quite mature and effective methods for refining the Earth Fire Sealing Plate. The required materials, array inscriptions, and control techniques were all included, and there were even insights and improvement suggestions left by refiners of previous generations.

"Finally, we have them all."

Ying Xuan was certain in his heart.

With a slight thought, the ground in several areas deep within the Tianxing Mountains, where the earth fire was blazing but had never been utilized, suddenly cracked open. The scorching earth fire was guided and bound by an invisible force, forming several stable earth fire veins.

Meanwhile, following the newly acquired method, the first batch of dozens of ancient-style "Earth Fire Sealing Plates," engraved with runes, were forged and distributed to the Weapon Forging Hall and the Alchemy Hall. The matching Earth Fire-powered Weapon Forging Furnaces and Alchemy Furnaces, specifically designed to utilize earth fire, were also quickly constructed and placed in the newly built dedicated areas of each hall.

The stable use of earth fire instantly freed up a large number of cultivators who originally needed to expend their own spiritual power to refine spiritual soil or process materials.

Especially for those cultivators who were transferred from the seven major sects and had superb skills in alchemy and weapon crafting, their efficiency increased exponentially with the help of stable and powerful earth fire!
In a short period of time, the already rapid progress of the spiritual field construction accelerated again! The spiritual fields at the 108 spiritual vein nodes were covered by five-colored spiritual soil at an astonishing speed.

The various spiritual herb seeds collected by each branch, originally belonging to the seven major sects, were carefully selected and sown into corresponding spiritual fields according to their different attribute requirements. The once somewhat deserted mountain range is now filled with busy cultivators and thriving spiritual plants.

Han Li, who was originally somewhat famous in the Tianxing Sect for his "planting talent," gradually became less noticeable after a large number of cultivators from the seven sects who were proficient in spiritual plants entered the sect.

He continued to tend to his "promising" spirit field, going about his daily routine as if he were no different from anyone else. Only he knew that he had devoted the vast majority of his energy to that lush green spatial herb garden.

Within the medicinal garden, the thousand acres of spiritual soil had already been fully utilized. With astonishing patience and caution, Han Li used the miraculous effects of the little green bottle to try cultivating the rare seeds from the thousands of jade boxes, one by one, batch by batch.

He dared not be careless in the slightest, using only a tiny amount of green liquid each day for the most meticulous induction and observation, and meticulously recording the reaction, growth status, and required environment of each seed.

Xiang Zhili's lifelong collection was indeed extraordinary. Many seeds were extremely delicate, requiring special conditions for spiritual energy, soil, and even light; some seeds had weak vitality and required repeated attempts to stimulate them; and some were nearly extinct, with a slow and difficult germination process.

Han Li devoted himself entirely to the task, relying on his innate sensitivity to plants and the miraculous effects of the little green bottle to successfully cultivate one rare and precious medicinal herb after another that was considered difficult to grow, and keep them healthy.

On this day, outside the Star Hall on the main peak of the Tianxing Sect, a Golden Core disciple on duty received a message and frowned slightly. The message came from an ordinary Qi Refining disciple named Han Li, who claimed that he had completed the task assigned by the sect leader according to his previous secret order and requested to see the sect leader to report back.

"Han Li? Qi Refining stage? On the sect leader's secret orders?"

The Golden Core disciple was filled with doubt. What kind of status did the Sect Leader have? A Nascent Soul cultivator, busy with countless affairs of state, why would he personally issue a secret order to a Qi Refining disciple?

Moreover, he vaguely remembered Han Li. He seemed to be an early disciple who joined the sect with the aptitude of four spiritual roots. He seemed to have a little talent in spiritual plants, but now the Spiritual Plant Hall is full of talents, with several Nascent Soul elders. What value could a Qi Refining disciple have that would make him worthy of the sect leader's attention?

Despite his doubts, he dared not neglect anything that might be related to the sect leader, and immediately sent the message through a special channel into the depths of the main hall.

Soon, a calm command resounded in his mind.

"Let him in."

The Golden Core disciple felt a chill run down his spine and dared not ask any more questions. He quickly went down the mountain and found Han Li waiting anxiously in the outer area of ​​the Spirit Plant Hall.

"The sect leader grants you permission to enter the hall. Please follow me."

The Golden Core disciple sized up the seemingly ordinary young man, his tone relatively calm, but he couldn't hide the curiosity in his eyes.

Han Li took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the violent beating in his heart, and followed behind the Golden Core disciple, once again walking towards the temple that was incredibly mysterious, majestic, and seemingly connected to the starry sky in his mind.

Stepping through the palace gates, the familiar starry sky once again rushed towards him, vast, majestic, and making one involuntarily feel insignificant. Han Li dared not look up, only catching a glimpse of a blurry figure sitting on a star throne deep within the starry sky out of the corner of his eye.

He strode to the center of the main hall, knelt down without hesitation, touched the ground with his head, and raised the emerald green spatial medicine garden magic treasure that he had been holding tightly in his hand high above his head.

"Disciple Han Li, following the sect leader's secret orders, has successfully planted all the spiritual plant seeds in the medicine garden, and they have begun to take root. I have come to report and request the sect leader's inspection!"

His voice was a little hoarse from nervousness, but still clear. After speaking, he remained kneeling and raised, not daring to move, his heart churning with turmoil. He didn't know whether his displayed ability to "grow all the rare seeds" was a blessing or a curse. But after much deliberation, he finally decided...

For a sect leader who is suspected to be at the Nascent Soul stage, who can casually produce thirteen Nascent Soul cultivation techniques, and who controls such a large sect, his ability to "accelerate spiritual medicine" may be valuable, but it is by no means indispensable, much less worth the sect leader disregarding his status to snatch it.

After all, while methods for accelerating the ripening of spiritual herbs are rare in the cultivation world, they do exist; it's just a matter of efficiency and cost.

Han Li, a Qi Refining disciple with four spiritual roots, was utterly mediocre in the current Tianxing Sect, which was teeming with talent and Nascent Soul cultivators. If it weren't for his special "planting talent," he couldn't imagine what value he had that would make the sect leader remember him and entrust him with such an important task.

Completing this task is the only opportunity he can seize to change his fate.

He had to take a gamble, betting that the sect leader would keep his word, betting that his own value was enough to earn the promised reward, and also betting that... the sect leader wouldn't delve into the true source of his abilities.

At this moment, he held the herb garden aloft, kneeling on the cold, starlit ground, awaiting the pronouncement of the one on the throne.

Watching Han Li swallow the high-quality Foundation Establishment Pill, his face filled with barely suppressed excitement and determination, and slowly close his eyes to begin regulating his breathing, a barely perceptible understanding flashed in Ying Xuan's eyes.

He raised his right hand and gently gestured towards the void surrounding Han Li.

In an instant, the rich, pure energy in the hall, a mixture of stellar power and earth vein spiritual energy, seemed to be summoned by the supreme authority. It transformed into visible vortexes of milky white spiritual mist, surging wildly from all directions toward Han Li, who was sitting cross-legged, and pouring into him through the acupoints around his body!

This process may seem violent, but under Ying Xuan's exquisite divine control, the spiritual energy flowing into Han Li's body was extremely gentle and precisely nourished his four spiritual roots with different attributes—metal, wood, water, and fire—in a certain mysterious proportion. These roots were usually elusive and extremely difficult to capture and balance at the same time.

Ying Xuan's divine sense, like that of the most skilled physician and architect, penetrated deep into Han Li's body and clearly "saw" the four "spiritual roots" that were like tiny dragons, floating and undulating in the meridians and blood, representing different fragments of the laws of heaven and earth.

Under the influence of the Foundation Building Pill, these four originally restless and difficult-to-harmonize spiritual root fragments were temporarily "anchored" near their respective Qi Sea acupoints, emitting stable attribute light.

"I see……"

Ying Xuan understood something even more deeply.

"In this realm, the spiritual roots of cultivators are fragments of laws bestowed by heaven and earth, and are in an active but disordered state. The Qi Refining stage is only a preliminary stage of sensing and utilizing them. When they reach the Foundation Establishment stage, they need to rely on external objects such as Foundation Establishment Pills to forcibly 'fix' the position of their spiritual roots in a short period of time and build their Dao foundation."

It seems that refining a Golden Core during the Core Formation stage also has a similar function of 'further solidifying and condensing the core of the spiritual root fragments'. Only by reaching the Nascent Soul stage can one completely fuse one's own soul with this 'new life core' constructed with the spiritual root as its core;
Only then can one truly and completely control this thread of the laws of heaven and earth, and from then on no longer be restricted by external objects such as Foundation Establishment Pills and Core Formation Spiritual Objects, and can cultivate and improve on their own.

This is the underlying logic and key point of the cultivation system in this world. What Ying Xuan is doing now is to use his cultivation level, which far surpasses that of the Nascent Soul stage in this world and is close to that of an Earth Immortal, and his absolute control over the laws of energy, to forcibly help Han Li balance the four conflicting spiritual roots.

And guide a massive amount of spiritual energy to cleanse and solidify his foundation in the most efficient and stable way!
With Ying Xuan's assistance, Han Li's internal transformation was astonishingly rapid.

His aura soared like a rocket! He broke through the eighth, ninth, and tenth levels of Qi Refining, reaching the pinnacle of the Qi Refining stage—the Great Perfection of the thirteenth level! Moreover, his foundation was incredibly solid, without any sense of instability.

Immediately afterwards, the four spiritual root fragments, which were "anchored" by the power of the Foundation Establishment Pill and Ying Xuan's power, began to resonate and merge more deeply with his physical body, meridians, and blood under the influence of the vast spiritual energy and Han Li's own will.

Various Dao Foundation Patterns, each with different attributes yet harmonizing with one another, slowly took shape deep within his dantian...

"Om-!"

A soft murmur, seemingly emanating from the depths of his soul, rang out, audible only to Han Li himself.

He was jolted, feeling as if some kind of constraint within his body had been shattered. His previously vague perception of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth instantly became crystal clear, as if the whole world had opened up a more authentic side to him!
Within the dantian, spiritual energy liquefied, transforming into a small lake of spiritual liquid. Four steadfast spiritual roots, like anchors in the sea, took root in the lake, radiating a stable and harmonious spiritual light.

Foundation established! Success!

Han Li suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes shining brightly. His divine sense naturally spread outward, and the range and clarity of his perception were more than ten times that of the Qi Refining stage!
The spiritual energy within his body underwent a dramatic transformation in both quantity and quality, and every gesture he made seemed to contain power far exceeding anything he had ever possessed before. Moreover, this sense of power was incredibly solid, showing no signs of instability whatsoever.

He looked inward in disbelief, then looked up at Ying Xuan on the throne, his heart filled with shock and ecstasy! Foundation Establishment! He had actually succeeded in establishing his foundation! And the process was so smooth, the foundation so solid!
You must understand, he possesses four spiritual roots, a universally acknowledged waste of talent. The difficulty of Foundation Establishment for him is more than ten or a hundred times greater than that for those with Heavenly Spiritual Roots or Dual Spiritual Roots! Within the Heavenly Star Sect, many disciples with single spiritual roots are still struggling to accumulate experience in the late Qi Refining stage, seeking Foundation Establishment Pills, while he has already taken a leap forward and completed this crucial leap!
All of this is because of the sect leader!

A surge of intense gratitude welled up in Han Li's heart. If it weren't for the sect leader establishing the Tianxing Sect, accepting disciples widely and regardless of their background, a rogue cultivator like him with four spiritual roots would probably have had little chance of even joining a celestial sect.

If the sect leader hadn't seemed to appreciate his talent for planting and given him important responsibilities and trust, how could he have received the Foundation Establishment Pill as a reward, or even troubled the sect leader to personally help him balance his spiritual roots and solidify his foundation with supreme divine power?
He bowed deeply again, his voice filled with emotion and choked with sobs.

"Disciple Han Li kowtows to thank the Sect Leader for his life-saving grace! The Sect Leader's great kindness will never be forgotten!"

Ying Xuan looked at Han Li below, who was moved to tears of gratitude, and spoke in a calm tone.

"The rules of the sect were set by me, and those who perform meritorious service must be rewarded; this is also something I uphold. You have completed the task I assigned you, and this is the reward you deserve. Rise." (End of Chapter)
