Inside the secret chamber.
Su Bai took out the thousand year warm jade bed, and immediately jumped onto it, sitting cross-legged.
Then, she took out both the Two-pattern Ziwei Spirit-Guiding Pill and the Dustfall Pill.
These were prepared for her Core Formation.
Afterward, Su Bai patted her Storage Pouch.
"Little Qing, come out. This time in seclusion, I can't do without your help."
The Two-pattern Ziwei Spirit-Guiding Pill, used for increasing Cultivation and solidifying her Realm, was ready, and the Dustfall Pill, used to reduce the difficulty of Core Formation, was also ready.
There was also the thousand year warm jade to accelerate Cultivation, and the Earthly Spiritual Root Spirit Beast.
Taking out the Mid-Grade Spirit Stone from her Storage Pouch, she activated the Gathering Spirit Array.
This place was already on a third-order Spiritual Vein.
After the Gathering Spirit Array was activated, the surrounding Spiritual Qi instantly became even denser.
"Hiss hiss~"
Little Qing felt the increased Spiritual Qi around her, her eyes narrowed, enjoying it greatly.
Seeing that everything was ready.
Su Bai reached out her hand, and Little Qing crawled up Su Bai's arm to her head.
One person and one beast quickly entered a state of Cultivation.
Outside the secret chamber.
Perceiving that the Formation inside had been activated and Su Bai's aura had completely disappeared, Xu Changge also sat down outside.
She didn't leave immediately; she needed to act as Su Bai's Protector for a while.
"Little Bai, I hope you succeed."
Xu Changge couldn't help but recall the scene of her own Breakthrough. Her Breakthrough process had a slight risk. Core Formation, like Foundation Establishment, also required passing through the three stages of Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
From a young age, Xu Changge had Cultivated her Family's Cultivation Technique, and her Foundation was stronger than that of a Loose Cultivator. Later, she joined the Green Bamboo Sword Sect. Although she didn't learn the Sect's core Cultivation Technique, what she Cultivated later was the Sect's orthodox Cultivation Technique, so she passed the Mana stage with ease.
Moreover, with the Two-pattern Ziwei Spirit-Guiding Pill that Su Bai had given her in advance, her Foundation was strengthened considerably.
She also passed the Divine Sense stage easily. As a powerful Formation Master, Divine Sense was Xu Changge's greatest reliance, so she passed the Divine Sense stage very easily.
Only during the Essence stage, Xu Changge, who had not undergone Body Refining, was thoroughly tormented.
When all the Spiritual Qi in her body condensed into a Golden Core, the immense power coursing through her Meridians instantly caused her injury.
Fortunately, when her Master arrived, she brought auxiliary rare treasures and Medicinal Pills.
Xu Changge was then able to successfully endure it. After passing all three stages, the Golden Core condensed.
From then on, her Cultivation and Lifespan all greatly increased.
This made Xu Changge realize that if she wanted to go further in the future, it was necessary to undergo Body Refining. At the same time, she was also worried about Su Bai's situation.
Because as a Loose Cultivator, Su Bai's Foundation was bound to be a weak point, which would be a huge Bottleneck during Core Formation.
"Sigh! Should I have passed on the Sect's Cultivation Technique to Little Bai and let her spend more time polishing her Foundation, instead of rushing to Breakthrough?"
Xu Changge was somewhat worried.
Meanwhile, in the secret chamber, Su Bai had already fully immersed herself in Cultivation.
Little Qing was coiled on top of her head.
Three Meridians Seven Chakras, all Seven Chakras open, like having seven more Dantians.
Under the enhancement of the Warm Jade, a warm current protected her Meridians.
She frantically absorbed the Spiritual Qi gathered by the Gathering Spirit Array.
The Sword Embryo condensed by the Spirit Sword Body in her Sea of Consciousness and Little Qing helped Su Bai continuously refine and absorb the external Spiritual Qi.
Two hundred sixty-seven drops of Spiritual Qi liquid...
Two hundred eighty-six drops of Spiritual Qi liquid...
Three hundred six drops of Spiritual Qi liquid...
Three hundred twenty-seven drops of Spiritual Qi liquid...
Three hundred forty-nine drops of Spiritual Qi liquid...
Su Bai's Cultivation speed became faster and faster, and the amount of Spiritual Qi liquid she could accumulate each year was increasing.
Originally, it would have taken her more than seven years to reach the Peak of Foundation Establishment, but she only used five years.
Then, she spent another half a year to Cultivate her Realm to Perfection.
Three hundred sixty-five drops of Spiritual Qi liquid!
Perfection!
The moment her Realm reached Perfection, Su Bai opened her eyes, a smile on her lips.
With her Realm at Perfection, the Spiritual Qi liquid in her body began to condense automatically.
Under her inner vision, she saw the three hundred sixty-five drops of Spiritual Qi liquid in her Dantian begin to solidify.
At this moment, Su Bai took another Two-pattern Ziwei Spirit-Guiding Pill to aid the process.
Propelled by the power of the Medicinal Pill, the Spiritual Qi condensed even faster.
Before long, two-tenths of the Spiritual Qi in Su Bai's body had already condensed.
This was the Foundation that could assist Core Formation. With these two-tenths of already condensed Spiritual Qi, the Spiritual Qi fluctuations during later Core Formation would be greatly reduced, making it less likely for a Spiritual Qi rampage to occur.
Furthermore, from the Qi Refinement Stage, Su Bai had Cultivated Cultivation Techniques that could widen Meridians and increase her Spiritual Qi Foundation, from the unexpectedly obtained Jade Liquid Storing Qi Inscription to the Breath Regulation Method chosen from the Green Bamboo Sword Sect Peak Cultivation Technique Pavilion.
All of these had brought Su Bai a much deeper Spiritual Qi.
Compared to Cultivators of the same Realm, her Spiritual Qi was at least twice as profound!
Even if she only used Spells, most people couldn't outlast Su Bai.
Feeling the boundless Spiritual Qi in her body, Su Bai no longer suppressed it and began to charge towards a higher Realm.
The first Bottleneck that appeared before Su Bai was the three stages of Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
She took out the Three-Patterned Dustfall Pill.
As soon as this Medicinal Pill appeared, the Spiritual Qi in the secret chamber became much denser.
Looking at the Medicinal Pill in her hand, which emitted a seven-colored Spiritual light, Su Bai swallowed it directly.
The Medicinal Pill melted upon entering her mouth, instantly transforming into powerful medicinal energy.
Under this power, before Su Bai had even broken through the three stages of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, the Spiritual Qi in her body actually began to condense again!
"Good!"
Leveraging the power of the three-patterned Medicinal Pill, Su Bai first faced the Essence stage. This stage was no longer an issue for her; she had long since broken through to the third stage of Body Refining. Her powerful Physique prevented the constantly expanding Spiritual Qi in her body from harming her Meridians in the slightest.
The Essence stage was effortless.
And the Mana stage was also as easy as turning her hand. Not to mention Su Bai's already deeper Spiritual Qi compared to Cultivators of the same Realm, even the medicinal power of this three-patterned Dustfall Pill made it impossible for Su Bai to fall at this stage.
For the final Divine Sense stage, Su Bai's Divine Sense had also long since completed its transformation with her Body Refining Realm and the opening of the Seven Chakras.
The Divine Sense of an ordinary Core Formation Cultivator was only about ten li.
Su Bai could easily reach fifty li, and with the help of her Divine Soul attribute points, she could even directly span two thousand li!
It could be said to be truly terrifying!
The three stages of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, under Su Bai's steady and sure progress, were like having no Bottleneck at all.
Once the three stages were passed, the Spiritual Qi in her body began to condense into a Golden Core.
Su Bai focused her mind. Under the enhancement of forty Mana attribute points, the Spiritual Qi in her body was incredibly obedient, doing exactly as she willed.
As Su Bai was breaking through her Realm, Little Qing, coiled on her head, also began to breathe in and out, absorbing Spiritual Qi.
Its Cultivation began to increase, driven by Su Bai.
Usually, it was the Spirit Beast that drove the Master's Cultivation, but with Su Bai, it was the other way around.
And outside the secret chamber.
After Xu Changge noticed the commotion of Su Bai's Breakthrough, she rushed over from Danfu Pavilion. At this moment, she looked at the door of the secret chamber, her hands tightly clasped, her brows furrowed with some nervousness.
She saw that Xingluo Mountain was like a giant Spiritual Qi vortex.
The Spiritual Qi in the Seven Stars Mountain Range was all drawn and absorbed to this place.
This commotion was much greater than when Xu Changge had her Breakthrough.
At least when Xu Changge had her Breakthrough, the third-order Spiritual Vein of Seven Stars Mountain was enough for her to use.
Under the concealment of the Formation, there wasn't even much change in Xingluo Market.
But at this moment, with Su Bai's Breakthrough, Spiritual Qi continuously gathered from all directions.
Even Xingluo Market was affected.
Many Cultivators who were in seclusion came out of their Immortal Caves, looking gravely in the direction of Xingluo Mountain.
They were forced to interrupt their Cultivation because their Spiritual Qi was forcibly drawn away!
