There's Something Wrong With My Immortal Path

Chapter 84: The Suffering of the Divine Soul, the Ascension of the Physical Body!

As his thoughts fluctuated, Xia Ming continued to read further.

Soon after, he came across a description of the First Heavenly Gate.

The First Heavenly Gate resembled the umbilical cord of a fetus.

Twisted and suppressed, spiritual energy flowed through it, constantly compressing and converging.

Eventually, the spiritual energy condensed into liquid in the dantian of the cultivator, advancing to the Foundation Building Stage.

Upon reading this, Xia Ming furrowed his brows slowly.

The Qi Refining in the lower dantian, after being compressed by the First Heavenly Gate, eventually condensed into liquid and was held in the middle dantian?

Is this the principle behind a cultivator's Foundation Building?

A flash of insight crossed Xia Ming's mind, and a glimmer of brilliance gradually rose in his eyes.

By continuously increasing the concentration of spiritual energy and having a stable lower dantian, theoretically, Foundation Building in the lower dantian should also be possible!

With this in mind, Xia Ming became restless.

Practice is the only criterion for testing truth!

He decided to take action!

Holding his breath and focusing his mind, he sat cross-legged, filled his dantian with spiritual energy, and began Qi Refining.

As spiritual energy surged, Xia Ming sensed a faint sense of pressure coming from his lower dantian.

Qi Refining at ninety-nine percent, Qi Refining at the tenth level, Qi Refining at the eleventh level?

Xia Ming didn't know the purity of his Qi Refining at this moment.

What worried him more was his trembling lower dantian.

"Damn it! My lower dantian won't explode, will it..."

Sensing that something was wrong, Xia Ming began to slow down his Qi Refining speed.

Little by little, he cautiously tested the limit of his lower dantian's capacity.

Time slowly passed, and Xia Ming's heartstrings tightened bit by bit.

Silence surrounded him, with only Muchuan quietly watching Xia Ming.

Muchuan could tell that Xia Ming was in great pain at this moment. The Sakura Dragon had died, and Xia Ming couldn't afford to die again.

With this thought in mind, Muchuan gently placed his palm on Xia Ming's lower abdomen.

Faint white light began to wrap around Xia Ming's lower dantian.

Quietly, Xia Ming's lower dantian seemed to have changed.

As the white light lingered, Muchuan's figure also began to dim.

At the same time, within Xia Ming's dantian furnace, a drop of condensed spiritual liquid slowly dripped down.

Plop--

The beginning is always difficult, but what follows will naturally fall into place.

One drop, two drops, three or four drops.

Listening to the crisp sound of dripping water echoing in his divine soul, Xia Ming slowly opened his eyes.

"I... have I achieved Foundation Building?"

To be honest, Xia Ming was a bit confused at this moment.

After all, the book clearly stated that Foundation Building occurs in the middle dantian.

So, the question arises.

Does the Qi Gathering in the lower dantian, which has turned into liquid, count as the Foundation Building Stage?

It's useless to be entangled in this. Xia Ming could only wait quietly for the end of Foundation Building.

In the end, all the floating spiritual energy in Xia Ming's lower dantian turned into spiritual liquid.

...

"Whether it's the Foundation Building Stage or not, I'll find out with a try!"

There is actually a very simple method to test the Foundation Building Stage.

That is to activate a talisman weapon.

Activating a talisman weapon requires a continuous infusion of high-quality spiritual energy, which Qi Refining cultivators cannot achieve.

For a cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Building, within thirty breaths, it is enough to activate an ordinary talisman weapon.

Taking out a sword-shaped talisman weapon, Xia Ming silently counted the numbers and infused spiritual energy.

In the end, when Xia Ming reached the count of ten, the sword-shaped talisman quietly lit up.

Holding the sword talisman in his hand, Xia Ming's expression became strange.

Good news: Foundation Building succeeded, possessing the strength of Foundation Building, and the concentration of spiritual energy is not low.

Bad news: The location of Foundation Building was wrong.

Is this still considered a cultivator in the Foundation Building Stage?

With a bitter smile, Xia Ming looked at his lower dantian again.

The dantian had become a furnace, and the six small characters representing the water attribute Superior Spirit Root were still shining at the bottom of the furnace.

Above those characters was a pool of condensed spiritual liquid.

Seeing this scene, new thoughts arose in Xia Ming's mind.

Can this Foundation Building spiritual liquid continue to be refined?

Anyway, I have nothing better to do...

When the six characters gradually lit up, Xia Ming couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

In his lower dantian, spiritual energy surged and roared, rushing straight to the first celestial gate.

After the spiritual energy reached a certain level, it condensed into droplets and fell one by one into the lower dantian.

Xia Ming actually achieved a water vapor cycle in his lower dantian!

After this cycle, Xia Ming found that although the spiritual liquid in his body had decreased, it had become more refined.

"Why... Why does my lower dantian feel like a boiling pot?"

"If I add a cylinder, piston, and connecting rod... wouldn't I become a steam engine?"

"A steam engine is just the beginning! What if I convert steam power into mechanical energy..."

"Suffering of the soul? Ascension of the flesh!"

In a daze, Xia Ming seemed to see a path leading to the heavens, the Great Dao.

He kept experimenting until dawn before finally stopping.

At the same time, the jade slip in his embrace began to tremble incessantly.

Xia Ming knew that it was his master, and the master usually communicated through voice messages.

The most prominent one was a message from an illiterate person.

[My disciple Xia Ming, come to the Moonlit Pill Cave to meet me. I have important matters to discuss with you.]

Listening to Master He's voice, Xia Ming frowned slowly.

Important matters?

Now that Xia Ming's blood-red pill effect had not dissipated, his vigilance was unusually high.

"What important matters could Master He want to discuss with me? Is he asking me to test medicine?"

"Hehe..."

In the pill cave, He Niansheng immediately noticed that something was wrong with Xia Ming.

The concentration of spiritual energy on this kid's body seemed off, could it be that he had reached Foundation Building?

With this thought, He Niansheng connected with Xia Ming's pulse.

Xia Ming's lower dantian had already turned into a furnace and couldn't be sensed.

But his middle dantian was still there.

Inside the middle dantian, there was nothingness.

Spiritual energy?

There was none.

Could it be the effect of gathering water attribute Superior Spirit Roots?

Without thinking too much, He Niansheng had more important things to do at the moment.

After Xia Ming sat down, He Niansheng handed him a cold jade box.

"Xia Ming, I have improved the second generation blood pill for you."

As he spoke, He Niansheng opened the cold jade box.

Looking at the transparent pill inside the box, Xia Ming couldn't smile.

Damn it!

He actually guessed it right!

"Xia Ming, give it a try and see how it works."

Staring at the pill in the jade box, Xia Ming fell into deep contemplation.

The effect of the half pill he had taken had not dissipated yet. Would there be any problems if he took another one?

If he didn't take it, would Master He take action against him?

In his hesitation, Xia Ming looked at the bronze mirror hanging on his chest.

Zhao Jiuwei suppressed the Western Cangzhou, and Master He would definitely not take action at this time.

He had to try the blood pill, not only try it, but also find a way to extract the pill formula.

With this in mind, Xia Ming pinched the second generation blood pill and swallowed it directly.

After swallowing the pill, Xia Ming felt no reaction.

Until...

He saw the pill furnace behind He Niansheng slowly approaching him.

Then, in Xia Ming's horrified gaze, the three-legged pill furnace began to speak.

Becoming an immortal! Becoming an immortal!

Boundless magical power!

Good disciple!

Why not ascend with your master?

Come, come, come!

Let your master send you to heaven!

Immediately after, Xia Ming saw the pill furnace rushing towards him.

With a bang.

Xia Ming's soul was directly knocked out of his body.
