I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 444: Breaking Through (Part 1)

Returning to Lin Qing, after obtaining the Infant Formation Pill, he did not seek any other means to help break through the treasure. Instead, he directly retired to the upper room of the Bai Xian Tower and then rented a small courtyard in the core of the Zhongsheng City at a high price.

This small courtyard was only fifty zhang long and thirty zhang wide, which was not considered a large courtyard in the city.

However, due to its location in the core of Zhongsheng City, the spiritual energy here was almost equivalent to a fourth-grade superior spiritual vein. It was more than enough to break through the Nascent Soul stage.

As for breaking through in Zhongsheng City, there was no taboo. According to Lin Qing, many Nascent Soul cultivators broke through here.

The thunder tribulation formed during the breakthrough could not affect Zhongsheng City and could even be weakened. This was a good thing for cultivators.

After renting the courtyard, Lin Qing immediately began his cultivation. He wanted to adjust his cultivation to its best state and then seize the opportunity to break through.

This cultivation unexpectedly lasted for more than ten years. To be honest, Lin Qing never expected it to take so long, as he had already reached a bottleneck. But during this period, he always felt that the timing was not right, so he kept delaying it. Until today, a flash of insight suddenly came to him, and he realized that now was the perfect time for his breakthrough.

Prepared long ago, three treasures were arranged in front of him.

"Three Yang Water, Infant Formation Pill, Seven-Holed Lotus Seed."

He himself now had a success rate of thirty-five percent. With these three items, he had a seventy percent chance of success, which was quite astonishing.

After arranging the treasures, he reached out and gently touched them. The Three Yang Water floated in the air first, and then he sprayed out a pill fire from his mouth, immediately refining it.

During this period, his aura continued to rise, but with his previous breakthrough experience, he remained extremely calm.

After spending half a day refining all the Three Yang Water, Lin Qing's aura had become at least twenty percent stronger than before. He then looked at the Infant Formation Pill and the Seven-Holed Lotus Seed beside him.

There was no need to mention the Infant Formation Pill. As for the Seven-Holed Lotus Seed, Lin Qing had studied it over the years and was extremely surprised by the results.

This item was actually a rare auxiliary spiritual medicine that could enhance the efficacy of pills. Regardless of the type of pill taken, its effects could be increased. With this Seven-Holed Lotus Seed combined with the Infant Formation Pill, the chances of breaking through could be increased by twenty-five percent.

The fact that the Old Man Bai Shan could produce this item was definitely because of the pill he gave to Senior Hua.

Speaking of which, the reason why he gave Senior Hua the pill back then was indeed to repay the favor from years ago. However, he did not expect this. Senior Hua leaving the Red Sun Immortal City to him was a great favor, and he had never been able to repay it. Now that he had the opportunity to repay it, he was extremely happy.

Without thinking too much, he touched the Infant Formation Pill and the Seven-Holed Lotus Seed, which came in front of Lin Qing at the same time.

This time, Lin Qing directly swallowed them and then began refining them.

The time it took to refine these two items was much longer than the Three Yang Water.

Three days later.

Above the Zhongsheng City, which spanned hundreds of miles, white clouds suddenly formed. These white clouds initially dispersed in the air, but then seemed to be attracted by something and began to gather little by little. In no time, they had grown to a size of hundreds of miles.

This spectacle in the sky above Zhongsheng City was extremely eye-catching.

After the formation of this huge cloud, white light spots began to appear in the air. These light spots were formed by spiritual energy and, due to the abundant spiritual energy in Zhongsheng City, they soon covered the streets of all sizes in the city, giving it a somewhat dreamlike appearance.

Many people in Zhongsheng City recognized these two phenomena. They were the signs of a breakthrough, but such a large scale could only be achieved by Nascent Soul cultivators.

At that moment, many people were both envious and jealous, and of course, there were also many people secretly hoping for a breakthrough failure.

As time passed, these spots of light began to gather towards the white clouds in the sky. In an instant, the white clouds for miles around became full of spiritual energy. When this spiritual energy reached a certain stage, a huge vortex suddenly formed above a small courtyard in the Central Saint City. The spiritual clouds in the air were attracted by this vortex and immediately rushed towards it.

In an instant, the spiritual clouds for miles in the air poured down, forming a funnel shape in the sky.

"Spiritual Energy Infusion!"

A Nascent Soul cultivator immediately recognized this phenomenon. It was the crucial step for a cultivator to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. After this step, the amount of spiritual energy in the body would be ten times or even dozens of times greater than that of a Gold Core stage cultivator. The spiritual consciousness would also temporarily surge. As long as one could overcome the tribulation, it would stabilize and even give birth to a Nascent Soul.

The scale of the Spiritual Energy Infusion varied, some only covering an area of ten miles in diameter, while the current one was considered top-notch.

The one who caused this phenomenon was Lin Qing, of course.

At this moment in the courtyard, his face was ferocious as he forcefully operated his cultivation technique, absorbing the spiritual energy coming from the air.

Although the Spiritual Energy Infusion was good, it was also quite overbearing. It was a significant test for cultivators. If one was not careful during this period, not only would the infusion fail, but the breakthrough would also be hopeless, and even the cultivation level might regress.

Fortunately, Lin Qing had a powerful spiritual consciousness and stronger spiritual power than ordinary cultivators, not to mention that he had taken several treasures. Therefore, he managed to persist in this vast Spiritual Energy Infusion.

Half an hour later, the spiritual clouds in the air gradually dissipated, but Lin Qing did not relax.

At this point, he was only one step away from giving birth to a Nascent Soul, but it was also the most dangerous step: the tribulation!

Next, he would face the tribulation that made all cultivators who wanted to break through tremble. When he broke through to the Gold Core stage, he did not encounter the tribulation for some reason, but now there was no doubt that he would face it.

"Boom!"

The pure white spiritual clouds that had just filled the sky were now covered by pitch-black tribulation clouds.

Lin Qing knew that this was because his spiritual power had temporarily surged, and as a result, he had attracted the tribulation. If he could withstand this tribulation, his future cultivation would be stable, and he would give birth to a Nascent Soul, reaching new heights. If he couldn't withstand it, the spiritual energy he had just absorbed would dissipate, and his cultivation would be damaged. It would take decades to attempt another breakthrough.

"Go!"

Lin Qing immediately activated the Goodwater Pearl, which floated above his head.

With another activation of the Goodwater Pearl by Lin Qing, a water shield the size of half an acre appeared, with flowing water and faint flashes of lightning. It looked extraordinary, firmly covering Lin Qing.

"Boom!"

A thunderous explosion occurred. The tribulation came extremely fast, and a lightning bolt struck down from the sky, landing on the water shield.

After being nurtured by Lin Qing for so many years, the Goodwater Pearl was already comparable to a top-grade treasure. The water inside had condensed again, forming a water shield with astonishing defensive power. Therefore, this attack had no effect at all.

This seemed to anger the unknown force. Immediately after, three purple lightning bolts fell from the sky at an extremely fast speed.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

For a moment, there was a loud burst of explosions when the water shield came into contact with the lightning bolts.

But the water shield still withstood the attacks. Lin Qing's face showed a slight joy. The tribulation to break through to the Nascent Soul stage usually occurred three to seven times. He had already easily withstood two of them, which meant he was almost halfway to success. After all, most Nascent Soul cultivators would only experience three or four tribulations.
