Starting as a spiritual plant master, may I eventually become the master of all lands.

Chapter 89 Senior (Seeking First Subscription)

Some of the scattered, stagnant spiritual energy within the meridians and acupoints is extremely firmly anchored.

It's like the accumulated dust in the corner of a room—you can see it, but you can't reach it and it's hard to clean.

Without a second Foundation Establishment Pill, it would be quite difficult for Song Chuan to gather all of them into his dantian using his own magical power.

Even so, it took more than a month to extract the spiritual energy.

Song Chuan felt a lightness in his body and quickly began to purify the spiritual energy in his dantian.

At this time, almost four months had passed since Song Chuan came to the spirit chamber, but this third step had only just begun.

Forget about completing the 100-day foundation building phase; he'd be grateful if it could be finished in five months, provided he didn't collapse from exhaustion or mental instability.

Baili Hui, sitting in the main hall of the Five Spirits Pavilion, frowned deeply. Why hadn't Song Chuan come out yet?

If an ordinary person fails to establish their foundation within a hundred days, they will definitely be injured and leave. If they succeed in establishing their foundation, they will disappear without a trace.

Even if it's a stable state, it should only take a few days, but it's been almost four months.

Moreover, only a few people successfully establish their foundation. He hadn't seen many people succeed in the Five Spirits Pavilion; most of them came to use various attribute spirit chambers to cultivate their techniques.

Will he die inside? It's not uncommon for people to fail in Foundation Establishment and perish on the spot.

He now both hoped that Song Chuan would succeed in establishing his foundation, and also wanted to see Song Chuan fail in establishing his foundation, and for a time he was caught in an indescribable state of mind.

The waiting was so frustrating and agonizing!

Inside the Earth Vein Spirit Chamber.

Song Chuan used several incantations to continuously filter out other spiritual energy in his dantian, while also compressing and purifying the earth spiritual energy. This step was even more difficult than the Three Gates of the River Chariot!

Fortunately, his magic power was already quite refined, which provided some assistance.

However, to complete this step, besides the effects of the second Foundation Establishment Pill, Song Chuan, with his aptitude, would have to rely on the Emperor's Elixir.

He touched his abdomen, and a wisp of golden moonlight suddenly appeared in his dantian.

The Emperor's Flowing Essence, like a swimming snake, weaves back and forth within the spiritual energy of the dantian. Upon being touched by the Emperor's Flowing Essence, this spiritual energy immediately becomes visibly purer.

At the same time, Song Chuan intensified his magic, enduring his exhaustion as he compressed the purified spiritual energy.

A month and a half later, Song Chuan lay on the ground in the spirit room, seemingly unconscious.

The orchid insect crawled all over him, sometimes flapping its wings and instantly landing on Song Chuan's feet, and sometimes suddenly appearing on his forehead, it was hard to tell whether it was playing or probing Song Chuan's unusual behavior.

Suddenly, Song Chuan opened his eyes and sat up.

His facial expression changed instantly, a mix of ecstasy, excitement, coldness, and bitterness flashing across his face.

Then his expression turned solemn, and he sat cross-legged in meditation.

The spiritual energy in the dantian was already in a liquid state, flowing slowly. Although it was confined within the small human body, it surged like the tides of the ocean.

Foundation building is complete!

He finally crossed the threshold that had blocked the path of countless Qi Refining cultivators.

It turned out that he had successfully established his foundation a few days ago, but before he could even celebrate, he collapsed and fell asleep as soon as he felt relieved.

After more than five months, he was almost completely exhausted. If he didn't succeed soon, he might really perish here.

Before falling asleep, he used his last bit of strength to hastily swallow several pills of various kinds to restore his vitality.

Five days later, Song Chuan stabilized his Foundation Establishment cultivation. He immediately took out the bead from his pocket and extended his divine sense into it.

Let's see how the beads change after the foundation is established!

A vast amount of earth elemental power rushed towards him, and Song Chuan's expression shifted as he slowly refined the bead with his divine sense.

Half an hour later, the bead suddenly disappeared; it turned out that Song Chuan had absorbed it into his body!

He chuckled and refined another portion. Besides being able to integrate it into his body, he finally learned the name of this bead: the Qianhuang Bead!

He couldn't quite understand why Qian, representing Heaven, was being used on this earth-element bead.

The way he uses this bead is quite different from when he was in the Qi Refining stage, but he'll have to wait until he has some free time to try it out later.

He turned his head and glanced at the north side of the spirit chamber, his eyes filled with murderous intent!

After a long while, he composed himself, took out the stone tablet and waved it. The door to the spirit chamber slowly opened, and he stepped out.

The main hall of the Five Spirits Pavilion.

Baili Hui already believed that Song Chuan was dead inside and had reported this to the steward using a communication talisman. The steward, however, said that this was normal and there was no need to worry about it for the time being.

Opening this spirit chamber from the outside is quite troublesome, and the deacon is too lazy to bother with it. Besides, this is an earth-element foundation-building spirit chamber, and it's not like someone else is in a hurry to use it. He'll deal with it when he has time to come over.

Suddenly, Baili Hui looked up at the Earth Path passage, where a person was slowly walking towards him.

He's not dead! This aura—it's incredible! It's like a ghost!

He immediately stood up and jogged to greet Song Chuan, bowing respectfully: "Junior Baili Hui greets Senior Song!"

Uh—Song Chuan was a little unaccustomed to seeing his apprehensive appearance and hearing him address him as "senior".

In less than half a year, peers have become grandparents. The ways of the cultivation world are truly strange!

"Junior Brother Baili, you don't need to be so polite. I stayed inside a little longer than usual, how about the spirit stones?" Song Chuan said with a smile.

"Senior, please don't call me junior brother anymore. Senior has already successfully established your foundation. The time you stay here will naturally not be counted as spirit stones," Baili Hui hurriedly said.

"I see!" Song Chuan nodded. "I must thank Junior Brother Baili for choosing this spiritual chamber; it has indeed been helpful for Foundation Establishment."

"Ah! I am truly honored to be able to offer even a little assistance to your Foundation Establishment, Senior."

Baili Hui was overjoyed. It was quite an achievement to have a Foundation Establishment senior express his gratitude.

Song Chuan showed no change before and after his Foundation Establishment, and he had no arrogant attitude towards himself. He was the same as when they first met. This person was either very cunning or a kind-hearted person.

"Here's the stone tablet. I have other things to do. Junior Brother Baili, you can continue with your business." Song Chuan handed him the stone tablet and walked out of the hall.

"Take care, senior." Baili Hui carefully accepted the stone tablet and bowed.

After Song Chuan left, he returned to his seat, lost in thought. Suddenly, he felt listless, as if nothing had any meaning, and he had no mood for meditation or cultivation.

After leaving the hall, Song Chuan stood outside the Five Spirits Pavilion, pondered for a while, took out the green leaf flying artifact, and headed towards the General Affairs Hall.

At this moment, at the entrance of the General Affairs Hall, Lü An from back then had disappeared without a trace, but Ding Gu was still there, chatting amiably with another female eccentric.

"Senior Brother Ding, look! That looks like a Foundation Establishment senior. He's so unfamiliar; I've never seen him before," the female cultivator suddenly winked at Ding Gu and whispered.

"It really is a Foundation Establishment senior. Impossible! How could it be him! This—this—" Ding Gu stared in disbelief, as if he had seen something incredible.

"Senior brother, what are you doing? Hurry up and go greet them!" the female cultivator said hurriedly.

On the cliffside platform in front of the General Affairs Hall, Song Chuan was looking at Ding Gu with a half-smile.

This guy used to mock me when I came to the sect with the Spring Sprout Token.
