He cultivated himself into a Dao Ancestor starting from Qi Refining.

Of course, Lian Hongshang was also very clear about one thing: with Lin Shaoyu's current petty antics, it was impossible for him to really attract 'merit'. But these actions also meant that there must be a powerful person behind Lin Shaoyu plotting something.

For cultivators who aspire to establish their foundation, the hardships and difficulties are unimaginable. Those without supernatural powers have almost no hope of success, while those with minor supernatural powers have a slight chance, but it is still as illusory as the moon reflected in water, extremely slim.

It can be said that only those with great supernatural powers can truly grasp that sliver of hope and have a real possibility of 'foundation building', but even if one cultivates a 'great supernatural technique', it only increases the probability of foundation building by '30%'.

To increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment, one needs local treasures, rare materials, luck, merit, and elixirs. For example, obtaining 'merit' can increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment by '10%'.

Immortal Master's Residence.

Lin Shaoyu's residence.

"My lord!"

outside the house.

Yue spoke softly and respectfully, bowing towards the house. Beside her stood an elderly man with a large patch of white hair, his expression a mixture of nervousness and anticipation. "The person has been brought here."

"Come in."

Lin Shaoyu's voice came out.

"Yes."

Squeak!

The door slowly opened, and Lin Shaoyu sat in a chair, while Zhao Yanran stood behind him, gently massaging his shoulders.

"My lord."

Yue Qingrou entered the room and saw Zhao Yanran, who was leaning almost half of her body against Lin Shaoyu. She also noticed that Zhao Yanran deliberately exposed herself, like a seductive vixen.

"shameless!"

Yue Qingrou cursed inwardly, feeling somewhat indignant. This Zhao Yanran actually took advantage of her absence to seduce the master while she was out on business. She was shameless and had no sense of decency.

The day after Lin Shaoyu and Yue Qingrou began their dual cultivation, Lin Shaoyu won over Zhao Yanran. Although Zhao Yanran did not have a special cauldron physique, she had also practiced dual cultivation techniques. With Lin Shaoyu's help, she successfully entered the first level within three days and became a cultivator in the Body Nourishing Realm, providing Lin Shaoyu with a white destiny.

"Sister Yue, you're a bit slow. The Lord is getting impatient."

Zhao Yanran said with a smile.

"Please forgive me, Lord."

Yue Qingrou did not speak to Zhao Yanran, but instead bowed to Lin Shaoyu.

"It's alright."

Lin Shaoyu waved his hand, signaling Yue Qingrou to come forward. Yue Qingrou was delighted and obediently walked over, standing to Lin Shaoyu's right. She gently massaged Lin Shaoyu's shoulders and then gave Zhao Yanran a provocative look, as if to say, "See? The person the master loves most is still me. You are just a newcomer. You dare to dream of replacing me in the master's heart? You're just a fool."

At this point, Zhao Yanran stopped opposing Yue Qingrou, knowing it wasn't the right time.

"Wu Qi".

Lin Shaoyu's gaze fell on the old man in front of him. He glanced at him calmly and asked, "Do you know what price you will pay if you fail to break through?"

"I understand."

Wu Qi took a deep breath, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed to Lin Shaoyu, and said, "If I fail, I will die on the spot, but I know even more clearly that this is my only chance in this life. If I succeed, I can step into the Qi Refining stage and become a true Qi Refining cultivator. I am willing to gamble."

"OK."

Lin Shaoyu nodded, waved his right hand, and took out a jade bottle. "In this bottle, there are four kinds of pills: Essence Pill, True Qi Pill, Heart-Breaking Pill, and Heart-Controlling Pill."

"In the mortal world, you have entered the Dao through martial arts, reaching the pinnacle of mortal martial arts, and are called: Grandmaster of Martial Arts, but in reality, it is the 'Peak of Entering the Dao'."

"But to truly enter the 'Qi Refining Realm,' one needs to cultivate 'True Qi,' and also needs to break through three barriers: the physical body barrier, the magical power barrier, and the inner demon barrier."

"Only by breaking through the three barriers, mastering the true skills, and refining the true Qi can one become a true 'Qi Refining Cultivator'."

"The 'Heart Control Pill' is a special kind of 'Gu worm.' After you take the 'Heart Control Pill,' your heart will be occupied by the 'Heart Control Gu.' I control the mother Gu, and with just a thought, I can take your life."

"Wu Qi".

Lin Shaoyu continued, "In these three months, you are not the first person to come to me. Before you, three other people came, but all of them failed. So I really hope that you can succeed."

"If you successfully cultivate Qi, you will need to serve me for ten years. After ten years, I will set you free."

"I am willing to serve you, sir."

Wu Qi kowtowed again, saying, "I would give my life even unto death."

"Go."

Lin Shaoyu waved his hand, handed the jade bottle to Wu Qi, and instructed Zhao Yanran, "Take him to the secluded cultivation room."

"Yes, my lord."

Zhao Yanran spoke in a gentle tone.

Soon only Yue Qingrou and Lin Shaoyu remained in the room.

"My lord."

Yue Qingrou's beautiful eyes lit up slightly. She leaned gently against Lin Shaoyu's chest and said, "With your help during this time, many people have broken through and become cultivators in the Nourishing Body Realm. I know that our lord pities us mortals and has no intention of building up any power, nor does he want to be distracted by these trivial matters."

"but."

Yue Qingrou gritted her teeth and said, "This servant still dared to gather those who have broken through together and establish a 'Tianyu Pavilion'. Of course, this was all my idea. No matter what happens in the future, we will not use your name. On the contrary, if we can help you in any way in the future, it will be my honor."

"I hope the Lord will grant permission..."

"Do it if you want."

Lin Shaoyu thought for a moment and did not stop Yue Qingrou. In his opinion, Yue Qingrou's actions were trivial, and the so-called Tianyu Pavilion was not much of a force to be reckoned with. It didn't even have a single real Qi Refining cultivator at the moment. Moreover, Lin Shaoyu would leave after completing this mission, so there was no need to stop her or care about her.

"Thank you, my lord!"

Yue Qingrou was delighted, "This servant will not let you down!"

It's been three months.

Because Lin Shaoyu had previously killed Luo Wuji and three Realm Heaven cultivators who had reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining, he actually had quite a few resources at his disposal.

Before we knew it.

Under Lin Shaoyu's deliberate cultivation, and with the additional resources he expended, although not a large amount, considerable results were achieved, and a significant number of lives were obtained.

Inside the He Shi Bi jade disc.

There are numerous white life lines, two black life lines, and three hundred and eighty-nine white life lines. This indicates that under Lin Shaoyu's guidance, three hundred and seventy mortals in Black Stone City have cultivated to the level of Nourishing Body.

Lin Shaoyu felt a little regretful that he had not been able to train a cultivator at the Qi Refining Realm.

Although three Martial Arts Grandmasters who had reached the peak of the Dao and whose lifespans were not long came one after another, and wasted some pills, all of these Martial Arts Grandmasters failed and could not break through to the Qi Refining stage. They all died during the breakthrough.

This can be seen.

Changing one's fate is not easy.

With Lin Shaoyu's current abilities, it's relatively simple and easy for him to help ordinary people become cultivators in the Body Nourishing Realm. However, it would be very difficult and challenging to help a cultivator at the peak of the Dao Refining Realm successfully refine Qi and enter the Qi Refining Realm to become a true Qi Refining cultivator.

Before reaching the Qi Refining stage, everyone is just firewood; only by reaching the Qi Refining stage can one be considered to have even a little bit of human rights.

"Three hundred and eighty-nine white destinies."

Lin Shaoyu pondered for a moment, "Adding two more black life lines would be more than enough. Back when I cultivated the 'Iron Rooster,' I only needed ninety white life lines."

"Next..."

Lin Shaoyu thought to himself, "It's time to help the substitute cultivator succeed."
