I proved immortality with thunder magic.

Chapter 82 Rejuvenation

Spirit Beast Mountain, Dao Cultivation Peak.

As the name suggests, the name of Chengdao Peak is related to its purpose.

This peak is a place exclusively for disciples of Spirit Beast Mountain to establish their foundation. There are nine foundation-establishing caves built on the mountain, which can accommodate up to nine Qi Refining stage cultivators in seclusion to establish their foundation at the same time.

The concentration of spiritual energy in these foundation-building caves is even higher than that in Zhang Yuanjing's cave at Leihe Peak, and what's more, the five elements of the spiritual energy are relatively balanced.

In addition, each cave dwelling is equipped with an independent formation, so powerful that even if a Foundation Establishment cultivator attacks, there will be no sound reaching the cave dwelling.

Even the main gate of the cave is made of special stone, which not only provides excellent sound insulation but can also withstand attacks from Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Therefore, once you enter these Foundation Establishment Caves, you can basically be isolated from all adverse external influences.

If you still fail to establish your foundation, then you can only look for the cause within yourself.

When Zhou Tai arrived at Chengdao Peak, he explained his purpose to the Foundation Establishment cultivator who was stationed there, and was quickly taken to the outside of an empty Foundation Establishment cave.

Outside a rocky forest, the guardian cultivator led Zhou Tai to the cave and handed him a small yellow flag, saying, "This is a token for entering and exiting the cave formation. Junior Nephew Zhou, you will know how to use it after you refine it a little. After you come out, return this to me."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tai immediately reached out and took the small yellow flag, and as instructed, he infused it with his magical power and divine sense to refine it.

It was not difficult to refine this item. In less than a quarter of an hour, Zhou Tai had successfully refined it and immediately understood how to use it.

He channeled his magic into the small yellow flag in his hand and shook it. A beam of yellow light shot out and landed in the stone forest ahead.

In an instant, the stone forest vanished like a dream, revealing the stone gate of the cave dwelling located inside the mountain.

At this moment, the guardian cultivator spoke again: "The stone door is currently open. Junior Nephew Zhou, you can push it open with a little force. After you enter, close the mechanism, and ordinary people will not be able to push it open from the outside."

After saying that, he cupped his hands to Zhou Tai and said, "My mission is now complete. I wish Junior Nephew Zhou a speedy foundation-building and Dao attainment. Thank you for your kind words, Uncle. Take care, Uncle."

Zhou Tai returned the greeting with a cupped hand, watching the other person's figure gradually disappear.

He then turned around, stepped forward, and pushed hard, easily opening the dark purple stone door.

He strode into the cave, waved the small yellow flag in his hand again, and the mirage of the stone forest that had disappeared outside was restored.

He then closed the stone door, locked it, and planted the small yellow flag in his hand on a platform next to the stone door, fully activating the protective array of the entire cave.

After doing all that, Zhou Tai slowly began to examine the cave dwelling.

Because it was only used for people to build foundations, this cave dwelling only has one stone chamber and is not very large.

However, the spiritual energy inside the cave was indeed very rich, and there was also a cold jade futon placed there.

Cold jade is a rare and precious spiritual jade in the cultivation world. When made into a futon or jade bed, cultivators can more easily concentrate and enter a meditative state, and are less likely to have wandering thoughts.

After looking around, Zhou Tai nodded slightly and immediately walked to the cold jade futon and sat down cross-legged.

Then he reached out and patted the storage bag, and two jade bottles appeared in his hand.

The two jade bottles contained the Blood-Nourishing and Marrow-Strengthening Pill and the Blood-Ginseng Essence-Replenishing Pill.

Before formally establishing his foundation, Zhou Tai needed to take two kinds of spiritual pills to restore his vital energy and vitality to a youthful and vigorous state.

Following the guidance of the alchemy hall master, Zhou Tai first took the more potent Blood-Nourishing and Marrow-Strengthening Pill and slowly circulated his internal energy to refine the medicinal power within his body.

Nine days later, the medicinal power of the Blood-Nourishing and Marrow-Strengthening Pill was completely exhausted.

At this moment, Zhou Tai's body was surging with vitality, and his skin condition was restored to that of a man around forty years old. Not only did the wrinkles and spots on his face disappear, but even his hair, which had turned quite white, returned to black.

Having already felt the effects of the elixir, he only rested for a day before taking the Blood Ginseng Essence-Nourishing Pill.

After another six days of refining, Zhou Tai's condition further reversed, returning him to around thirty years old.

At this time, he had a full head of black hair, a fair and rosy complexion, and looked no different from a young man in his thirties, completely different from half a month ago.

Inside the cave, Zhou Tai looked at the unfamiliar yet familiar face reflected in the crystal mirror before him, gently raising his hand to touch his smooth cheek, and couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart, "Youth is truly wonderful!!"

It's so good to be young!

Only those who are no longer young can truly understand the meaning of these four words.

This is a perfect example of how you don't know what you've got till it's gone!

This is why, even knowing that the path to immortality is fraught with thorns, people still throw themselves into it like moths to a flame.

Only by becoming cultivators can they have the opportunity to rejuvenate themselves and even fight the heavens for hundreds more years of life, with the help of immortal techniques and elixirs!

Defiing fate is not a mere fantasy for mortals, but something that cultivators can truly achieve!

In this world, the words "cultivation of immortality" possess a special magic, holding an unparalleled attraction for countless mortals.

The most common idea among mortals, and what they firmly believe, is that as long as they become cultivators, anything is possible!

Those past regrets, those unsolvable problems, seem to be able to be made up for and solved as long as one cultivates immortality.

It's hard to say that Zhou Tai's past yearning for immortality wasn't influenced by this trend and custom.

And now, through his own hard work and struggle, he seems to be achieving those things that once seemed impossible.

For him now, turning back the clock is just the beginning.

If he could successfully establish his foundation, he could defy fate for another sixty years, extending his lifespan to two hundred and forty years. Feeling the abundant vitality surging through his body, as if his energy were inexhaustible, he immediately raised his arm with a gleam in his eyes and declared, "One effort, then decline; a third, then exhaustion. Let's take advantage of our current peak condition and begin foundation building!"

We did it right away.

Zhou Tai quickly sat down cross-legged on the cold jade futon again and took out all the Foundation Establishment spiritual items.

Zhou Tai had long been familiar with the process of Foundation Establishment. He had read many Foundation Establishment insights left by senior Foundation Establishment cultivators and had also personally listened to Li Hongzhi and Zeng Qiming talk about their own Foundation Establishment process and experiences.

Therefore, he knew very well how to use Foundation Establishment spiritual objects.

He first poured out the protective pill and swallowed it in one gulp.

Although this elixir is precious, it actually serves as an insurance measure during the foundation-building process.

This means that even if a cultivator fails to establish their foundation, their meridians and dantian will not be damaged by the rampaging magic power.

Therefore, shortly after taking the Vein Protector Pill, its medicinal power formed a protective layer in Zhou Tai's main meridians and dantian.

With this life-saving insurance in place, Zhou Tai poured out the Condensing Essence Pill and put it in his mouth.

Of the three Foundation Establishment spiritual items, the Qi Condensation Pill is the most important.

Without its help, it would be extremely difficult to transform the misty magical power within the body into liquid magical power.

Of course, the spiritual energy that acts as a medium or catalyst is also very important in this process.

It is said that long ago, cultivators did not use spiritual energy to establish their foundation, and the success rate of foundation establishment was much lower than it is now.

Later, senior cultivators discovered the wonderful use of spiritual energy during the Foundation Establishment stage, and the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators in the cultivation world quickly increased significantly, with many independent cultivators now having the possibility of successfully establishing their foundations.

In today's cultivation world, every year there are many rogue cultivators who, without any Foundation Establishment spiritual objects, rely solely on spiritual energy and the Qi Condensation Powder, which has only one-tenth the efficacy of the Qi Condensation Pill, to fight desperately!

Although the probability of success in such a desperate gamble is very small, perhaps only two or three percent.

However, with the accumulation of a massive number of cases, there are still lucky individuals who succeed from time to time.

Zhou Tai held the Condensing Yuan Pill in his mouth, but instead of swallowing it, he first circulated his cultivation technique with all his might, gathering all the magical power scattered throughout his meridians back into his dantian.

Before long, all the misty magical power gathered in the dantian.

At this moment, Zhou Tai swallowed the Qi Condensation Pill in his mouth.

Then, following the foundation-building method recorded in the cultivation manual, he concentrated his divine sense and controlled as much misty magic power as possible to begin rotating in a regular pattern.

The dantian was originally a peaceful and tranquil place, but at this moment, as some of the misty magic began to simulate a high-speed cyclone, a rotational gravitational force suddenly appeared here.

Under the attraction of that rotating gravitational force, more and more of the misty magic was drawn over and passively joined the rotation.

Meanwhile, the medicinal power of the Condensing Essence Pill was slowly being released. A special spiritual power was transported through the meridians to the dantian, merging into the rotating mist vortex, and then merging with all the mist magic power during the rotation.

Any mist or magical power that has been infused with this special spiritual energy will begin to shrink in size, but will appear to become more solid.

So the original vortex of mist gradually began to resemble a cloud vortex.

Once all the misty magic power in the dantian and dantian was integrated into that cloud vortex, there was only one constantly rotating cloud vortex in the dantian.

This cloud-like vortex rotates rapidly inside the dantian, generating an increasingly powerful rotational gravitational force that places a tremendous burden on the dantian and the meridians connecting to it.

However, due to the protective layer formed by the Vein Protector Pill, Zhou Tai could still withstand this load.

At this moment, he suddenly raised his hand and took the black metal bottle containing the spiritual energy in his hand, and then opened the bottle cap.

As soon as the bottle cap was opened, his outward-extended divine sense immediately detected the violent and pure lightning power inside the metal bottle.

The spiritual energy is itself a single-attribute spiritual energy of extremely high quality.

Normally, cultivators at the Qi Refining stage would be unable to refine spiritual energy of this quality.

However, cultivators in the Qi Refining stage who have begun the Foundation Establishment process are an exception.

When a cultivator in the Qi Refining stage begins Foundation Establishment, at the crucial moment when the misty mana within their body is transforming into liquid mana, introducing spiritual energy of the same attribute into it can not only accelerate the transformation process and increase the success rate, but also slightly improve the quality of mana after Foundation Establishment.

The downside of doing this is that the meridians and dantian must first withstand the impact of the violent spiritual energy, and if you are not careful, the meridians may be completely shattered!

Among the many types of spiritual energy, the lightning-attribute spiritual energy is undoubtedly the most violent.

Therefore, when Zhou Tai swallowed the spiritual energy that seemed to be composed of countless tiny lightning bolts from the metal bottle into his body, even with the protective layer formed by the meridian-protecting pill, he still felt as if he had swallowed a red-hot dagger, and the pain made his face contort.

The red-hot dagger traveled down his meridians, surging towards his dantian like magma, and soon crashed into his dantian sea of ​​qi.

Boom!

When the spiritual energy crashed into the dantian, it landed right inside the cloud-like vortex, triggering a thunderous explosion.

The cloud vortex was almost blown apart on the spot by its impact!

In other words, Zhou Tai had made ample preparations long ago, and his powerful divine sense had worked hard to stabilize and control the cloud vortex, preventing it from exploding.

Having withstood the most intense initial impact, as the cloud vortex continued to rotate, the spiritual energy began to slowly decompose.

Everything is moving in the best possible direction.
