Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 188 Refining Foundation Establishment Pills

The spiritual platform represents not only a state of mind, but also potential.

Each spiritual platform carries the foundation of a cultivator's great path, serving as a vessel for their strength, talent, spells, and even fortune.

The spiritual platform serves to communicate with heaven and earth and to carry the essence of the Dao. The stronger a person's potential and the better their talent, the larger and more substantial the spiritual platforms they can build, and the further they will go in the future. Generally speaking, the spiritual platforms that can be built are already determined at the moment of foundation building.

However, there are also some opportunities later on that allow for an increase in the number of spiritual platforms.

No matter how many times you add them, nine spiritual platforms are the limit, and only the most gifted can possess them.

Theoretically speaking, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, even with only a Spirit Platform, can attempt to break through to the Golden Core stage. However, the success rate is extremely low, almost nonexistent. Even if they succeed, they will only reach the weakest Golden Core stage, which is meaningless.

Those with three spiritual platforms are mediocre and have a very low chance of breaking through to the Core Formation stage. Those with six spiritual platforms are relatively outstanding and have a high chance of breaking through to the Core Formation stage if they cultivate diligently. Those with more than six spiritual platforms can basically break through to the Core Formation stage by maintaining stable cultivation, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

As for those with seven stars, they can be called geniuses; those with eight stars are exceptionally gifted; and those with nine stars are truly gifted...

Looking across the entire Myriad Manifestations Sect, only the once stunning Cao Jinxian is the only one with nine Spirit Platforms. Not only within the Myriad Manifestations Sect, but also throughout the entire Martial Continent, she is a rare genius. Apart from her, even the founder of the Beast Taming Peak, Wei Zhenggui, only has eight Spirit Platforms over the years.

What Sun Shihhan was saying to Yu Changsheng naturally piqued his interest, and what he was even more focused on was what Sun Shihhan was about to say next.

"Therefore, the number of spiritual platforms determines the height one can reach in the future. I think that with such extraordinary talent as Junior Brother Yu, he will naturally not rush to establish his foundation."

Sun Shihhan smiled sweetly, her beautiful eyes sparkling like autumn water.

Yu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, intrigued: "What does Senior Sister Sun mean? Could it be...?"

"It's nothing, I was just saying it offhand." Sun Shihhan shook her head, took a sip of tea, and then suddenly smiled, leaning forward to get closer to Yu Changsheng. At the same time, a delicate fragrance wafted into Yu Changsheng's nose.

"Come find me again when you've established your foundation. We can discuss some good things."

Yu Changsheng was taken aback and turned his head away somewhat uncomfortably.

Seeing this, Sun Shihhan's smile widened. She gently slid her finger across Yu Changsheng's shoulder, shook her head, smiled, and then got up to say goodbye and leave.

Yu Changsheng stiffened slightly, watching Sun Shihan's departing figure, and rubbed his shoulders.

"What is all this?"

"You wouldn't be thinking of cultivating with me, would you?"

Yu Changsheng muttered to himself and shook his head, his thoughts racing as he considered many things.

"Foundation building is just the beginning of cultivation. I wonder how high my spiritual platform can go..."

Shaking his head, Yu Changsheng's expectations for Foundation Establishment grew even stronger as he checked on the three spirit pets that were still asleep.

"Once the three spirit beasts awaken, I can try to establish my foundation. I already have two Foundation Establishment Pills, and if I ask my master to refine some more, that should be enough."

Thinking it over, Yu Changsheng got up and headed to the alchemy hall.

When Gongsun Yang saw that it was Yu Changsheng who had arrived, he put down what he was doing.

"You've come here to refine your Foundation Establishment Pill, haven't you?"

Gongsun Yang smiled amiably, but upon seeing Yu Changsheng, a strange expression flickered in his eyes, as if he were sighing and reminiscing.

"As expected, nothing can be hidden from Master. My cultivation has now reached the peak of Qi Refining, and it's time for me to establish my foundation."

"I humbly request Master to help me refine a pot of Foundation Establishment Pills, so that I may observe and learn from you."

Yu Changsheng chuckled, but his tone was very respectful.

"That's how it should be. We've been master and disciple for a time, so there's no need for such formalities."

Gongsun Yang waved his hand, and as he spoke, he suddenly looked up at Yu Changsheng and sighed softly.

"Come in with me and watch carefully. This might be the last time I teach you alchemy."

"With your talent, you have entered the inner sect. After you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, I will introduce you to an inner sect elder. Only he can continue to teach you."

Yu Changsheng felt a tightness in his chest and suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"What are you saying, Master? We're still far from achieving immortality."

Gongsun Yang paused, a look of satisfaction on his face. He patted Yu Changsheng on the shoulder with a smile, said nothing more, and led Yu Changsheng into the room, where a warm, inviting atmosphere greeted them.

Inside the alchemy room, Gongsun Yang's alchemy furnace was ready, and a pile of medicinal herbs were neatly arranged to one side, clearly indicating that Gongsun Yang had made preparations in advance.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

It didn't take long. After adjusting his breathing, Gongsun Yang suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a sharp glint in them, and slapped his arms on the alchemy furnace.

The alchemy furnace resounded, and flames rose up.

"Look carefully, there are various methods for refining Foundation Establishment Pills, but they all ultimately lead to the same goal."

"Because these materials are precious, I will only show them once and will not deliberately slow down the pace. Some of the details can only be appreciated by you through careful observation."

Gongsun Yang made a hand seal, and as he spoke, his mind was focused and he was completely absorbed in his thoughts.

Yu Changsheng nodded, not daring to make a sound for fear of disturbing Gongsun Yang. He released his golden core divine sense, enveloping every part of the alchemy furnace.

"First of all, we must pay attention to the size of the fire. The Foundation Establishment Pill is extremely powerful, but the medicinal materials are all mild. Therefore, it is especially important to refine the pill according to different stages and different degrees."

"Use the Nine-Veined Rainbow Grass and the Spirit Stone Flower as a base medicinal material to neutralize and support the following medicinal materials, and slowly simmer them over a low flame..."

"The Jade Marrow Ganoderma and Purple Monkey Flower have mild medicinal effects that are difficult to integrate, making them inherently difficult-to-process medicinal materials. Therefore, we need to add a little Heavenly Spirit Fruit as a catalyst at this time..."

As Gongsun Yang explained to Yu Changsheng, his hands never stopped moving, refining each medicinal herb, filling the alchemy room with a fragrant aroma.

Yu Changsheng, standing by, did not dare to relax. He carefully recorded every detail with his divine sense and benefited greatly. Some things that were originally unclear in his mind quickly became clear. He would wipe Gongsun Yang's sweat from time to time and pour him water.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and at this moment, the preparation stage of the Foundation Establishment Pill was completed, with a clear shout from Gongsun Yang.

Bottles of medicinal liquid were poured into the alchemy furnace in a specific order, where they continuously fused together in the flames.

"Crystal Flower is a shade-loving variant, while Red Glossy Leaf is a sun-loving common genus. Although these two plants have opposite properties and should not be placed together in theory, in fact, the opposite is true. Under certain fire conditions, these two medicinal materials can achieve a short-term balance."

"And one of the key points in refining Foundation Establishment Pills lies in this. Many people who refine Foundation Establishment Pills for the first time fail because of this oversight, resulting in Foundation Establishment Pills that fail to produce or whose medicinal effects cannot be fully exerted."
