Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 257: Chapter 175: Foundation Establishment

Three months had passed since Li Shiming took up residence in the Wei Family’s stronghold, and during this period, the Tie Clan and the Hu immortal family had used every trick in the book, yet they still hadn’t managed to breach the stronghold’s formation.

In a fit of rage, they set fire to the marketplaces outside.

After leaving behind a number of Qi Refining Cultivators, the two families left; however, once they were out of the valley, Li Shiming, through his divided soul, saw that they were lying in ambush just outside the valley, ready to launch an attack as soon as any cultivator from the Wei Family stronghold emerged to attack the Qi Refining Cultivators left behind.

Unfortunately for them, their plan was entirely ineffective. Li Shiming couldn’t be bothered with them and let the few Qi Refining Cultivators stay in the valley.

He cultivated daily using the top-grade spirit veins, and with the help of his clone, he had raised his Spiritual Power to the peak of the Qi Refining Ninth Layer in three months.

However, reaching the peak of the Qi Refining Ninth Layer did not mean he could break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage; he still needed to regulate the spiritual power within his body.

Of course, if he didn’t care about having good prospects within the Foundation Establishment Stage, he could choose to break through directly. He believed that with the guarantee of seven Foundation Establishment Pills, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage shouldn’t pose too much of a problem.

But he wouldn’t dare to do so. He needed to establish a very solid foundation before attempting the breakthrough.

In the main hall of the cave dwelling, Li Shiming sat with his eyes tightly closed, his consciousness connected to the IBMz15.

As soon as he had moved in three months ago, he assigned a new research topic to the IBMz15.

That was to use the resources at hand to set up an array that, in conjunction with the ‘Five Elements Qi Absorption Technique,’ would balance the Five Elements Spiritual Power.

This method, recorded in the ‘Five Elements Qi Absorption Technique,’ was said to increase the success rate of breakthroughs and also purify spiritual power during the conversion process.

During his time on Sky Sea Island, Li Shiming had been cautioned by numerous cultivators, including Golden Core cultivators, that his physique was too strong; it far exceeded his spiritual cultivation level, which paradoxically decreased his chances of breakthrough.

On the ground of the stronghold, a web of rudimentary formation lines linked various nodes throughout the stronghold together.

This was the state of the stronghold without the ‘Five Elements Qi Absorption Array’ activated. Once activated, these formation lines would merge into the ‘Five Elements Qi Absorption Array’ and would no longer be visible.

This had been a massive undertaking which he and his clone had busied themselves with for many days to complete.

Today was the most critical moment, the final part of the ‘Five Elements Qi Absorption Array.’

Carefully, he placed the Second Grade Iron Spirit Wood, green crystals, Flame Crystals, Binding Soil Stones, and wood-iron at the five converging points of Spiritual Power lines in the main hall.

“Activate!” He uttered softly, and the entire Wei Family stronghold shook briefly.

The few Qi Refining Cultivators in the valley felt it too, but after merely watching the entrance of the stronghold for a while and noticing nothing else, they paid it no further attention.

The few Qi Refining Cultivators left in the valley were no longer from the Tie Clan and the Hu immortal family, but were Loose Cultivators tasked with a mission.

For these Qi Refining Cultivators, their only job was to report when someone entered or left the stronghold; they were unconcerned with anything else.

Li Shiming released his Spiritual Thought, sensing the operation of the formations around him.

Since the ‘Five Elements Qi Absorption Array’ had only been simulated by the IBMz15 and not actually implemented, everything still needed to be verified through practice.

All around the Wei Family stronghold, the formation lines glowed, drawing the Five Elements Power from the formations, channeling it towards the main hall along the Spiritual Power lines.
