After everything was handled.

Fu Changsheng took out the insights into Foundation Establishment breakthroughs given to him by Shangguan Feng and his daughter.

The preparation for Foundation Establishment requires breaking through the Qi Blood Barrier, Mana Power Barrier, and Spiritual Barrier, which are related to one's Spiritual Root talent.

However, when impacting Foundation Establishment, it tests the cultivator's perseverance.

Commonly known as the three difficulties of Foundation Establishment.

The reason auxiliary spiritual objects are needed for Foundation Establishment is to stabilize the mind, repair meridians, seal the five senses, enhance mana, and prepare for these three difficulties.

After studying the Foundation Establishment insights given by Shangguan Feng and his daughter several times, he had a vague understanding in his heart.

"Hoo"

He exhaled a murky breath from his chest.

Now, what he was waiting for was a chance for Foundation Establishment.

Sitting cross-legged, holding the Meridian Lock in his hands, his eyes drooped, tongue against the upper palate, mind, spirit, and intention focused on the navel without shifting. After some time, he felt his body descend with his intentions, head and hands seemingly in a void, only feeling a faint true breath coming in and out from his navel, immovable.

Fu Changsheng's heart stirred:

"It's now!"

It was the fifth day of the fifth month, during the third quarter of noon, also the hottest time of the year.

The "Cyan Emperor Longevity Technique" he cultivated required refining the free fire and wood attribute spiritual qi in the air. On the day of Yang, at the hour of Supreme Yang, it was indeed the best time for Foundation Establishment.

With his right hand, he formed a seal.

A stream of mana was cast into the Spirit Gathering Array.

With a buzzing sound!

The medium-sized Spirit Gathering Array started operating at full speed, transforming the massive spiritual qi above his head into a small vortex. The spiritual qi poured from above, crashing into the dantian, like a wild horse galloping wildly within him, enduring the pain of tearing meridians.

He gritted his teeth.

Rapidly operated the cultivation technique.

Solid true qi rose in strange arcs from the dantian, quickly refining the spiritual power within, continuously gathering the true qi into a stream that flowed from the chest to the head, intersecting the Three Yang Meridians of the Foot; then flowed to the toes, intersecting the Three Yin Meridians of the Foot; onward from the Three Yin Meridians of the Foot to the abdomen, chest, intersecting the Three Yin Meridians of the Hand.

The interaction of yin and yang, endless as a circle!

In a breath.

Fu Changsheng, dripping with sweat, seemed to touch the edge of some profound law.

The spiritual qi operating rapidly between Heaven and Earth Bridges suddenly accelerated, charging fiercely with strong inertia! The unbreakable body apertures shattered one after another with a cracking sound, and the excess mana, like a reversed galaxy, gradually converged into the dantian.

As time passed.

A vortex in the dantian began to slowly condense.

But it was just slightly lacking; the dantian did not expand, nor was there any sign of the true qi liquefying:

"No!"

Evidently, merely relying on a medium-sized Spirit Gathering Array, the absorbed and refined spiritual qi was far from enough to blast open the Foundation Establishment apertures within.

With a point in front of him on the pill bottle.

He opened his mouth and swiftly swallowed the Foundation Establishment Base Liquid within the pill bottle.

The spirit liquid entered, transmitted from the throat to the dantian, and its violent medicinal power roared like a drop of water falling into boiling water, like hundreds of wild horses rampaging within him, causing the pain of torn meridians, making him feel dizzy.

Meanwhile.

Faint fragmented voices echoed in his mind:

"Give up, such violent medicinal power you simply cannot refine."

"You are already a clan leader, above one and below ten thousand, why endure this pain?"

"You're only twenty-six this year, still young, no need to rush. It's obvious this time is inadequately prepared, why not give up and try again next time? Next time, you'll surely succeed!"

"....."

When enduring unbearable pain.

The voices previously ignored in his heart would magnify a hundredfold at this moment.

However.

Fu Changsheng formed seals with his hands, without a hint of hesitation between his brows, rather an immense will roared, transforming into a blazing fire, instantly turning all those voices into ashes!

Buzz!

At this moment.

His divine sense had surprisingly tripled compared to before.

After overcoming the pain and suffering of the two major hurdles of Foundation Establishment.

Fu Changsheng once again operated the magnificent mana within his body along the Heaven and Earth Bridges, moving rapidly, crackling, with the constant sound of apertures being broken open within his body.

The true qi vortex above the dantian suddenly and instantly coalesced with a bang.

Simultaneously.

Middle-Grade Spirit Stones arranged around in the Spirit Gathering Array burst open one after another, transforming into an overwhelming spiritual qi pouring into the internal vortex.

The internal vortex began spinning rapidly.

The dantian began to expand visibly, quickly reaching twice its original size.

When he thought this was the limit.

At this time.

The Purple Qi Divine Light, residing in a corner, trembled slightly and unexpectedly joined the vortex, causing it to spin once more.

The dantian suddenly expanded to more than three times its original size!

"Drip" sound.

A drop of True Essence condensed and emerged.

True qi transformed into liquid!

This was the key to successful Foundation Establishment!

Fu Changsheng's face showed neither joy nor sorrow, continuously refining the true qi within, with sounds of rain beating upon plantain leaves in the dantian, as drop after drop of True Essence, resembling a gentle rain, continuously fell into the dantian.

No idea how much time had passed.

All the true qi within transformed into True Liquid.

Thus.

The three great difficulties of Foundation Establishment had completely taken two major steps.

The final step was to transport True Essence into the opened apertures, at which point the itching would be extreme, like penetrating the bone marrow, unbearable for ordinary people.

Simultaneously.

Blemishes seeped out from his surface, with an unbearable stench.

As these impurities were expelled, that intense itching gradually subsided, and no more impurities exuded, with the itching sensation disappearing.
