Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

And breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.

It is best to break through before the age of sixty, after sixty, the chances of success decrease with every passing year.

This is because the peak period for Qi-refining late stage cultivators is at their breakthrough moment, around sixty years old, after which they start to decline from their peak.

Naturally, the chances of breaking through to Foundation Establishment also gradually decrease year by year.

In this case, even without a Foundation Establishment Elixir, he can try to forcibly break through to attempt Foundation Establishment.

Though such an approach without the assistance of an elixir would mean that if the Foundation Establishment fails, he might be severely injured or even die.

However, it is still much better than having no chance at all.

Presumably…

Meng Guan invited He Song and Wei Fan this time because of his concerns.

If his breakthrough fails and he dies, if there are no friends nearby, there might be no one to collect his remains.

Establishing the Foundation has a relatively high death rate.

In the absence of a Vein Protection Elixir or a Foundation Establishment Elixir.

Forcing a breakthrough into the Foundation Establishment realm, if it fails, could result in severe injury, or even death on the spot.

Generally, Qi Refining great perfection cultivators who want to attempt establishing the Foundation would buy elixirs.

Those with good luck can get a Foundation Establishment Elixir, which increases the chances of success and protects them in case of failure.

With a Foundation Establishment Elixir, even if the breakthrough fails, the cultivator won’t be heavily injured and can challenge the Foundation Establishment realm again after recovering for two years.

Those with less luck can only buy a Vein Protection Elixir, which doesn’t increase the chances of success but protects them if the breakthrough fails.

With a Vein Protection Elixir, even if the breakthrough fails, the cultivator won’t be injured, and they can challenge the Foundation Establishment realm again after recovering for five years.

Of course…

There are also cultivators like Meng Guan who have made no preparations at all.

If successful, they will achieve the Master of the Foundation Establishment, and their lifespan will surge.

If unsuccessful, a large proportion of them will die and the luckier ones will suffer serious injuries, losing hope for establishing the Foundation.

The Foundation Establishment Elixir is very expensive and rare. Although the Vein Protection Elixir is cheaper, its effect makes it quite valuable.

Given Meng Guan’s financial capabilities, He Song thought it would be difficult for him to purchase it.

This time Meng Guan issued an invitation.

First, he wanted a friend’s company.

Second, he wanted He Song and Wei Fan to protect him.

Third, he probably wanted to see his friends for the last time.

“Lao Meng has reached the great perfection of Qi Refining, and I have only broken through the ninth-tier of Qi Refining for three years. Sigh…”

As He Song silently looked at the paper in his hand, his thoughts drifting, Wei Fan’s voice suddenly came into his ears.

Looking up, He Song saw that the paper in Wei Fan’s hand had disappeared, but a trace of worry appeared on his face.

Seeing He Song put away his paper, Wei Fan shook his head with a bitter smile.

“This Lao Meng is truly unbelievable. If he truly breaks through to the Foundation Establishment realm, do you think we should call him Master Lao Meng?”

Master Lao Meng…

A strange look flashed in He Song’s eyes.

If they really called him that, Meng Guan, who broke through to the Foundation Establishment, would probably let Wei Fan experience what was truly the wrath of a Master, right?

But seeing the expression on Wei Fan’s face, He Song still didn’t say this out loud. Instead, he shook his head and sighed.

“Sigh, Meng Guan really must have gone through a lot during these fourteen years. I wonder how he managed to persevere.”

A Five Spirits Roots cultivator.

From needing a Breakthrough Elixir to break through the Qi Refining late stage initially.

To breaking through from the seventh- tier Qi Refining to Qi Refining great perfection in the span of fourteen years.

Such a terrifying cultivation speed made He Song feel ashamed.

One can imagine what Meng Guan went through in Green Wall Immortal City over those years.

Maybe there were opportunities.

Maybe there were surprises.

Or maybe, there were some secrets unknown to He Song.

In any case, Meng Guan’s desperate path to Foundation Establishment was now only a small distance away from completion.

And for this last little distance.

He wanted He Song and Wei Fan to witness it together!

Whether to live or die, it all depends on this time!

“Who knows? He has been away for fourteen years without returning, probably desperately fighting in Green Wall Immortal City, just like he said before, risking his life to create a path leading to Foundation Establishment.”

Faced with He Song’s sigh, Wei Fan echoed his sentiment, but immediately, his eyes flashed with anticipation.

Meng Guan’s invitation this time not only shocked Wei Fan but also sparked a longing for the Foundation Establishment realm.

His friend was about to break through to the Foundation Establishment and invited him to witness it, so naturally, he was looking forward to it.

If he could learn something from Meng Guan.

It would be of great help to his future path in Foundation Establishment.

However, when his gaze met He Song’s, Wei Fan’s eyes flashed with a moment of realization, substituting his previous astonishment. He even forgot what he wanted to say earlier.

At this moment.

Wei Fan’s gaze was fixed on He Song, and his mouth gradually opened wide. “You, you, you’ve reached the seventh-tier Qi Refining?”

It took a moment for Wei Fan to recover from his shock and questioned He Song.

Even though he had already used his Spirit Vision Skill to see He Song’s current cultivation level, he still wanted to confirm it through words.

According to his memory.

It seemed like He Song had broken through from the fifth-tier Qi Refining to the sixth-tier Qi Refining just five years ago.

But now.

In the blink of an eye, five years passed, and He Song’s cultivation had already successfully broken through from the sixth-tier Qi Refining to the seventh-tier Qi Refining.

What kind of speed is this?

He, Wei Fan, spent several years just to break through the bottleneck from the sixth-tier Qi Refining to the seventh-tier Qi Refining!

Several years!

Not to mention the time spent practicing from the sixth-tier Qi Refining to the peak of the sixth-tier Qi Refining, which also took him several years.

As for He Song?

Five years! He Song took only five years to raise his cultivation from the sixth-tier Qi Refining to the seventh-tier Qi Refining.

This is the seventh-tier Qi Refining!

In Immortal Pavilion, this is considered a high-level rank.

“Yes, I just consolidated my cultivation today and came to find Brother Wei.”

Facing the disbelief in Wei Fan’s eyes, He Song was completely unaware of anything amiss, and instead calmly replied.

In He Song’s view, spending four and a half years on cultivating the required spirit power needed for the sixth-tier Qi Refining and then working for half a year to break through the bottleneck of the Qi-refining late stage was completely normal.

Having faced the bottleneck for half a year, He Song, who had never experienced any bottleneck before, felt that it was already long enough.

However…

He could never imagine that the time other cultivators needed to break through the bottleneck was several or even ten times more than his!
