Cultivating Immortality: I Have a High-Martial World

Chapter 82 Foundation Establishment Pill Completed, Perfect Foundation Establishment!

Condensing liquid into pills is the most crucial step in the alchemy process.

At the same time, it is also the most difficult step.

This step requires the alchemist to have an extremely precise grasp of the heat and timing.

After purifying the elixir with a high-temperature flame, the temperature inside the furnace is quickly reduced to a certain level in a short period of time.

This is extremely difficult for ordinary alchemists.

But for Lin Chen, who uses instruments to refine pills, it is not complicated.

"During the condensation stage... the temperature inside the alchemy furnace will drop sharply by about three thousand degrees."

Lin Chen murmured to himself that he could only roughly determine the temperature range; the accurate temperature would require further testing.

Unsurprisingly, the first attempt failed.

The entire batch of Foundation Building Pills was wasted.

After that, Lin Chen began his second and third attempts.

It failed a total of six times.

In the end, Lin Chen obtained an accurate temperature.

The temperature inside the furnace needs to be reduced from 3389 degrees to about 350 degrees within ten seconds.

Until evening.

Lin Chen's first batch of Foundation Establishment Pills has been successfully refined!

A perfectly round Foundation Establishment Pill, enveloped in wood-elemental true essence, slowly fell into his hand.

Lin Chen sniffed the pill lightly, and after carefully examining it, his face immediately lit up with joy.

"It's a mid-grade Foundation Establishment Pill!"

The alchemy process, completed with instruments, is virtually error-free.

It surpasses the vast majority of alchemists, successfully reaching the quality of a mid-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, and its medicinal effects are several times better than ordinary Foundation Establishment Pills.

"However, is the mid-grade Foundation Establishment Pill the limit of instrument-based alchemy?"

Lin Chen pondered carefully.

This was, after all, his first time refining a Foundation Establishment Pill, and he had made some mistakes.

If the temperature could be made more precise, or other errors could be reduced, would it be possible to refine a superior Foundation Establishment Pill?

Just do it.

Lin Chen first called his aunt and uncle to tell them he wouldn't be coming home that night.

After that, Lin Chen spent the entire night refining Foundation Establishment Pills.

A cultivator who has reached the pinnacle of Qi cultivation possesses an essence, energy, and spirit far surpassing that of ordinary people.

Even after refining for an entire night, Lin Chen's spirit remained intact.

Until the afternoon of the next day.

Lin Chen flicked his finger, and six batches of Foundation Establishment Pills were produced simultaneously.

Among them, there was one batch of discarded pills and four batches of mid-grade foundation-building pills.

There's one more furnace...

The mysterious patterns on the elixir were faintly visible.

This is a superior Foundation Establishment Pill!

"A total of twenty-three batches of Foundation Building Pills were prepared, and twenty batches of pills were successfully made."

"Among them, five are low-grade, twelve are mid-grade Foundation Establishment Pills... and a full three are high-grade Foundation Establishment Pills!"

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow.

The success rate and quality of the pills produced are astonishing!

Han Jihai once told Lin Chen that his success rate in refining Foundation Establishment Pills was only 60%.

Moreover, over 90% of them are low-grade Foundation Establishment Pills.

The success rate of refining a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill is only one percent!

"Using instruments for alchemy is truly like having a cheat code!"

"Except for the fact that it's impossible to refine top-grade pills... compared to ordinary alchemists, they are simply overwhelming."

Lin Chen packed away the five newly made pills one by one.

Now, he has twenty-seven Foundation Establishment Pills in his possession.

Among them, there are a total of six high-grade Foundation Establishment Pills!

"This time, we will surely achieve a perfect foundation!"

Lin Chen was in a very good mood. Perfect foundation building meant that his future path would be smoother and he could go further.

"My cultivation is only one step away from reaching the perfection of Qi Refining."

"I hope to complete the foundation-building process within the next few days..."

Lin Chen thought to himself.

The breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage caused quite a stir.

If he were to achieve a breakthrough in the cultivation world, it would inevitably attract the attention of others.

However, breaking through on Earth is extremely safe and can perfectly conceal the movement of one's breakthrough.

Over the next two days, Lin Chen focused more on his Qi cultivation.

He cultivated for more than eight hours every day, and more than a dozen spirit stones turned into dust.

With such unwavering dedication to cultivation, Lin Chen finally perfected the Qi Refining Chapter.

At the same time, Lin Chen's cultivation also reached the peak of Qi Refining.

After reaching the peak of Qi Refining, Lin Chen did not break through immediately.

Instead, calm down and adjust your own state.

Foundation building is not something that can be accomplished in an instant.

As far as Lin Chen knew, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage might take a whole day, requiring him to continuously challenge the Foundation Establishment bottleneck.

Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that one's energy and spirit are in their most optimal state.

……

It was the fifth day since Lin Chen returned to Blue Star.

Under Li Nian's escort, he arrived at the Martial Arts Palace once again.

Here, there is a safe house built specifically for him.

"Brother Li, my safety is now in your hands..."

Lin Chen stood in front of the room and spoke to Li Nian.

When it came to serious matters, Li Nian nodded meticulously and said:

"Don't worry, no one is allowed to bother you from now on, I said that!"

Lin Chen felt relieved after hearing this and entered the safe house.

Inside the room, the spiritual energy was abundant, even comparable to that of Danfeng.

Here, there is a miniature spirit-gathering array, only about ten feet in diameter.

This was Lin Chen's special preparation for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Arriving at the very center of the miniature spirit-gathering array, Lin Chen waved his hand.

Hundreds of spirit stones were scattered around him.

Afterwards, Lin Chen sat cross-legged and continuously absorbed spiritual energy from the spirit stone, channeling it into his dantian.

The dantian during the Qi Refining stage has a limited capacity.

If spiritual energy only flows in and not out, it will inevitably overflow.

However, the spiritual energy absorbed into the body will continuously cleanse the dantian and purify it.

This is the first step in Foundation Building: the purification of true essence.

As the surrounding spirit stones turned to dust one by one, the true essence and magical power within Lin Chen's dantian became increasingly pure.

Until several hours later.

When Lin Chen could no longer increase his magical power no matter what he did, and his true essence began to leak out continuously.

This officially marked the beginning of the second stage of foundation building.

True element solidification.

Lin Chen took his first high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.

As the effects of the Foundation Building Pill were absorbed by the body, it was as if an accelerator had been turned on.

The true essence and spiritual energy within Lin Chen's dantian began to accumulate and solidify continuously.

Originally, the spiritual energy that filled the dantian was reduced to occupy only one-third of the dantian space.

Afterwards, Lin Chen continued to absorb spiritual energy.

Until, a solid object, resembling a pill platform, appeared in his dantian.

This is the Foundation Building Platform.

This alchemy platform is perfectly integrated, and spiritual energy overflows from it.

The true essence and magical power contained within the alchemy platform alone is more than twice that of Lin Chen's Qi Refining Perfection stage.

Once the altar is solidified, the foundation is complete.

At this moment, if Lin Chen wished, he could instantly complete the Foundation Establishment process.

But a low-grade Foundation Establishment was not what he sought.

Therefore, Lin Chen took the second high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.

As the effects of the Foundation Building Pill continued to take hold, Lin Chen increased the speed at which he absorbed spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy enters the body, solidifies, and then transforms into part of the alchemy platform.

The previously blurry altar became increasingly clear.

The third, the fifth, the tenth Foundation Establishment Pill...

The sun gradually moved westward.

Inside the safe house, the floor was covered with layers of spirit stone powder.

Lin Chen has also reached the critical moment of Foundation Establishment.

Under the introspection of the divine soul, the foundation-building alchemy platform in the dantian appeared to be inlaid with a layer of silver.

At this moment, Lin Chen has already reached the upper-grade Foundation Establishment stage.

And within that silvery white, specks of gold are faintly visible.

Lin Chen then consumed another mid-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.

As the spiritual energy solidified, the details of the Foundation Establishment Platform became clearer and more lifelike.

At the same time, that faint golden hue became even more dazzling.

Five, ten...

Another ten mid-grade Foundation Establishment Pills were swallowed.

It wasn't until the next morning, when the first rays of sunlight fell on Lin Chen, that things began to change.

Upon introspection, it wasn't just the sunlight that shone with golden light...

It is also the foundation-building alchemy platform within his dantian.

With this, the foundation is perfectly laid!

Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes, and the leaking true essence aura gradually receded inward.

He had a smile on his face.

"Finally, perfect foundation building... accomplished!"
