Cultivating immortality begins with discerning the secrets of heaven.

Chapter 62 Cultivation Plan

[The five elements of the Cangxuan Domain have returned to harmony. The earth's veins yield metals and stones, vegetation flourishes, and water and fire are in balance. It is a suitable time for cultivation to break through realms, but a time to refrain from practicing demonic arts and secret techniques.]

The Taiyuan Sect dispatched several Foundation Establishment elders and a large number of Qi Refining disciples to search for traces of the Blood Spirit Sect's demonic cultivators, and has already captured several Blood Path demonic cultivators alive.

[In Taiyuan Immortal City, the rogue cultivator Ning Yuan has successfully established his foundation and is currently seeking a new cultivation method within the city.]

[The cultivators sent by the He family of Xiaoyun Mountain to sell spiritual herbs in Jinye Plain, heading towards Nanling, were attacked. Three were killed, and two were critically injured, resulting in heavy losses.]

The He family's frequent sale of elixirs has already attracted the attention of the Wu and Liu families of Jinye Plain.

[The Liu family patriarch successfully broke through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, and disguised the breakthrough as the sound of his passing. The Xiong family's Foundation Establishment patriarch, caught off guard, was severely injured.]

Looking at the information provided by the Book of Insight, Lin Yun took a deep breath, a look of relief appearing in his eyes.

"Fortunately, the family was notified in time, otherwise the Lin family would have been the ones to suffer this time."

The cultivation world of Duanyun Ridge is about to descend into chaos. The two Foundation Establishment families are likely to go to war, which will affect many other forces.

As for the internal strife among the cultivation families under its command, the Taiyuan Sect basically sits by and rarely intervenes.

For the Taiyuan Sect, no matter how fiercely its subordinate forces fight, it won't have much impact. In any case, new forces will spring up like mushrooms after rain, and they will still have to pay tribute to the sect.

Lin Yun stared at the first piece of information provided by the Book of Insight for a long time, pondering deeply.

"The celestial phenomena in the Cangxuan Domain have changed. Previously, the earth vein fire was flourishing, and metal and wood were growing, making it suitable for alchemy and weapon crafting."

"Now that the power of the five elements has returned to tranquility and peace, it seems that the influence of the passing of that mysterious Wood Dao God more than ten years ago has gradually dissipated."

""

A cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage passed away, returning all his cultivation to heaven and earth, which affected the cultivation environment of the entire region for more than ten years.

"Unfortunately, I haven't even mastered the art of alchemy yet, so I can't take advantage of the right time and place."

""

Lin Yun felt a little regretful. Over the years, with the help of special celestial phenomena, he had made great progress in weapon crafting.

However, a person's energy is ultimately limited. He could only push his weapon-refining skills to the middle grade of the first rank. As for alchemy, he had not yet even begun to grasp the basics.

"However, it's not without its advantages. The current celestial phenomena are auspicious for cultivation and breakthroughs, so I can take this opportunity to advance vigorously and strive to reach the late stage of Qi Refining more quickly."

Once one's cultivation reaches the late stage of Qi Refining, one is considered to have initially qualified for Foundation Establishment.

If one can advance to the late stage of Qi Refining around the age of thirty, the potential for Foundation Establishment will be even greater.

Now that he has joined a sect, his next goal is naturally to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, which is also the fundamental purpose of his joining the Taiyuan Sect.

Next, Lin Yun went to the beehive and checked on the condition of the fire spirit bees.

"Six honeycombs have been built inside the beehive, and four of them have already started producing honey, which is a pretty good progress."

"However, the Flaming Flowers and Red Heart Peonies in the flowerbed can't keep up, so the speed of building beehives will definitely slow down a lot."

The insect garden has been completed for more than two months. Lin Yun has put in a lot of effort during this time, and now it has finally stabilized.

  

However, the whereabouts of the golden silkworms were still unknown, and the mulberry grove planted in the insect garden had yet to be put to use.

"After a while, once the number of fire spirit bees in the beehive has grown a bit larger, we will begin to cultivate mutated spirit insects."

Lin Yun muttered to himself before leaving the beehive again.

During this period, he did not neglect his cultivation. With the help of the Spirit Gathering Pill, he has already cultivated to the peak of the fourth level of Qi Refining and can try to break through at any time.

"The celestial phenomena are changing, which is a good time for cultivation to break through to a higher realm. In that case, I might as well give it a try."

With that, Lin Yun returned to the wooden house in the center of the Insect Garden.

It's worth mentioning that he has already completed the transition of his cultivation technique, and now he practices the "Eternal Green Technique".

The magical power within his body was profound and pure, with a more balanced and peaceful nature, far superior to the basic wood cultivation technique he had previously practiced.

Lin Yun sat cross-legged in the room. After calming his mind and regulating his breathing for a while, he took a Spirit Gathering Pill and began to circulate his cultivation technique.

hum!

The rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth within the mountain gate began to flow into his body. Lin Yun repeatedly inhaled and exhaled, and the spiritual energy circulated through his meridians one cycle after another, finally settling into his dantian.

Before long, his aura began to grow stronger, his magical power becoming more harmonious and enduring, each breath of spiritual energy like a whale inhaling water.

In the next instant, his aura surged dramatically, and the magical power in his dantian began to boil.

Fifth level of Qi Refining!

After consolidating his cultivation level and stabilizing his breathing, Lin Yun emerged from seclusion with a smile on his face.

"Not bad. It has been half a year since you joined the sect. You have advanced from the fourth level of Qi Refining to the fifth level. The speed is not bad."

""

He now has 180 sect contribution points. In the first four months, he completed the weapon refining tasks at Hundred Refinement Peak on time, earning a total of 80 sect contribution points.

For the next two months, he also served as the insect breeder in Lin Hongye's insect garden, which earned him an extra thirty points of sect contribution each month, bringing his total monthly income to fifty points of sect contribution.

"The sect's contribution has many uses; one contribution can be roughly equivalent to two spirit stones."

""

"Now I hold two jobs, which translates to a stable income of one hundred spirit stones per month."

Of course, there are rules within the sect that explicitly prohibit the trading of spirit stones and sect contributions.

Moreover, within the sect, contributions can be exchanged for many things, including cultivation techniques, secret arts, skill inheritance, elixirs and materials, magical artifacts and talismans, etc.

"Even without the help of my family, I can easily accumulate 3,000 sect contribution points to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill."

The next time Foundation Establishment Pills will be available for exchange will be nine years from now, before the next Ascension Conference.

Lin Yun only needs to develop steadily for five years to accumulate the contribution points required to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill, a speed far exceeding that of other ordinary disciples.

The only problem is that although the number of disciples at Hundred Refinement Peak is not as large as that of the other main peaks, the distribution of Foundation Establishment Pills is still very fierce. There are too many wolves and not enough meat, so you have to compete with those senior brothers who have more experience.

"It took nine years to advance from the fifth level of Qi Refining to the ninth level. That's quite a feat."

"Ideally, we could find a spiritual object with the wood element..."

Lin Yun began to plan his cultivation path in his mind. For him, the best thing would be to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill at the next Ascension Conference and then try to establish his foundation.

However, he was not sure whether, with his own aptitude, a single Foundation Establishment Pill would be enough to successfully establish his foundation.

"The more thorough the preparation, the better. It's best to succeed on the first try, which can save a lot of trouble."
