Chapter 93

Time passed bit by bit, and when Song Xinghai once again exhausted his pills, Song Li fed him eight Foundation Establishment Pills in one breath!

At this critical moment, Song Xinghai could feel that the intangible barrier had become very thin, and success was just ahead. After swallowing the eight Foundation Establishment Pills, it was as if eight hand grenades were bundled together, exploding in his chest and abdomen. He gathered his mind, cast the spell, and absorbed the energy, quickly converting it into true qi and gathering it in his dantian. Then he urged the true qi to continue to impact the barrier.

"Rushing water..." Song Xinghai felt as if he heard the sound of a mountain flood breaking through a dam. Suddenly, he felt a bright light before him, his body became as light as a feather, and he felt an indescribable comfort. After the true qi broke through the barrier, it rotated once in his body and quickly gathered in the dantian.

Song Xinghai felt that he could now see every meridian in his body. He clearly saw that the true qi gathered in the dantian was liquefying at a visible speed, forming a small droplet of water, crystal clear and transparent, with mist swirling around it. Song Xinghai knew that he had successfully established his foundation, and the true qi had been converted into true essence.

From now on, he would be free from the mortal body, his lifespan would increase to two hundred years, and he would take a solid step toward the realm of transcending the tribulation and ascending to immortality!

The remaining medicinal power was still surging wildly in his body. Song Xinghai suppressed his inner excitement, continued to silently practice the technique, and absorbed the medicinal power, converting it into true essence stored in the dantian. The small droplet in the dantian became increasingly clear and transparent, and its volume increased. When the remaining medicinal power was completely absorbed, the small droplet became round and full. Song Xinghai knew that this time he not only successfully broke through from the Qi Drawing Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage but also used the medicinal power to stabilize his realm at the peak of the first level of Foundation Establishment!

Song Xinghai opened his eyes and let out a long, clear whistle. The sound was so loud that it pierced the clouds, and a large part of Holy Lion City was stirred. Many people sighed in admiration, wondering which expert had successfully established their foundation, envying them.

After the long whistle, Song Xinghai leaped up, feeling so light that he almost hit the ceiling. He walked to his wife and son, unable to hide his excitement, his eyes brimming with tears, and choked out, "Madam, Li'er... I... I... I..."

Yun Lin let out a cry and tightly embraced her husband, tears streaming down her cheeks. Although they were middle-aged, the couple's affection was deep. They embraced silently, understanding each other's feelings without words.

Watching his parents embrace deeply, Song Li felt that all his hard work was worth it. In his previous life, he was an orphan and had never tasted the warmth of a family. He was very grateful that in this life, he had such loving parents. Their family was very happy, and he would do everything in his power to maintain this happiness.

The leap from the Qi Drawing Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage was a qualitative improvement, and it had cost him fifteen Foundation Establishment Pills, but he did not feel the slightest regret. Seeing his parents embrace and show their true feelings, everything was worth it!

Song Li quietly left his father's cultivation room, leaving space for his parents.

With his father's successful advancement, he put aside one worry and was ready to start his own cultivation plan.

Song Xinghai and Yun Lin spent some time together, then came to their senses and found that their son was gone. They didn't find him in his room either. However, the couple was not worried at all, as they were very confident in Song Li. Yun Lin noticed that the bottle of Six Yang Snow-Melting Pills was missing and guessed that he had probably gone to find a place to cultivate.

Yun Lin's guess was correct. Song Li returned to his room, rested for a while, and when it was just dawn, he took the Six Yang Snow-Melting Pills and set off for Holy Lion Mountain.

The place where he had practiced the Dragon Elephant Bodhimanda Palm last time was very suitable for cultivation. It was by the mountain and beside the water, with a quiet and secluded environment and abundant spiritual energy, and no one else came around. So he came here again.

Last time, when Song Li was practicing the Dragon Elephant Bodhimanda Palm, he had swum in the lake during his rest and accidentally discovered that behind the waterfall was a natural cave. The cave was filled with stalactites of various shapes, very beautiful. Although the entrance was a waterfall, the inside of the cave was very dry and spacious. Perhaps this was where the spiritual veins of Holy Lion Mountain gathered. Song Li felt that the spiritual energy was very abundant. At that time, he had already decided to clean up this cave and use it as his secret cultivation base.

Song Li swam to the waterfall, entered the cave, and cleaned it thoroughly. In the middle of the cave was a flat rectangular stone, larger than a bed. Song Li placed several thick cushions on it for meditation and rest. When he needed to rest, he could combine the cushions and sleep on them.

It didn't take long for him to turn the cave into a simple cultivation room.

After everything was ready, Song Li sat cross-legged on the stone bed, took two Six Yang Snow-Melting Pills, and then placed his feet, hands, and head in the Five Points to Heaven position, forming hand seals with his fingers.

The Six Yang Snow-Melting Pills, being a mid-grade Earth-level spiritual pill, were much more powerful than the Three Revolutions Return to Origin Pill. The pills quickly melted, and Song Xinghai felt a scorching heat gathering in his chest and abdomen, then suddenly exploding in all directions. The strong energy flow quickly rushed into his meridians, and the dormant purple flame, which had been like a hungry shark suddenly smelling blood, flickered joyfully and violently!

The purple flame seemed to have a strong suction, drawing all the energy flow towards it and swallowing it in large bites! Song Xinghai could clearly see that after the purple flame swallowed the medicinal power of the Six Yang Snow-Melting Pills, it became much brighter and fuller, no longer the listless state it had been in before. Song Xinghai was delighted, knowing that the Six Yang Snow-Melting Pills could indeed serve as fuel for the Imperial Fire Seed, and the purple flame had been activated!

After the Imperial Fire Seed was activated, it released an extremely vast amount of energy. Song Xinghai did not dare to be negligent and silently practiced the Red Emperor Purple Flame Technique, guiding the energy into his meridians and quickly converting it into true qi for storage. Then he urged the true qi to impact the peak of the second level of the Qi Drawing Stage.

After the Imperial Fire Seed had grown and strengthened by swallowing the original fire seed in the Langya Cave, its appetite had increased, and its requirements for fuel had increased exponentially. At the same time, the energy it released had also increased exponentially. Song Xinghai felt that this energy was vast and boundless, and in a moment, it had raised his realm from the early second level of the Qi Drawing Stage to the peak of the second level!

Song Xinghai was overjoyed. The purple flame continuously swallowed the medicinal power of the Six Yang Snow-Melting Pills and continuously released energy. It was like a high-level energy processing station, swallowing one part of the medicinal power and quickly releasing ten parts of energy!

In short, if the purple flame swallowed the medicinal power of one Six Yang Snow-Melting Pill, it could release the energy of ten Six Yang Snow-Melting Pills! And as it grew and strengthened, this energy amplification ability also increased. This was the reason why Song Xinghai could not stop using it.

The dual upgrade of the pills and the Imperial Fire Seed produced a surprising chemical reaction. Song Xinghai used the vast energy released by the Imperial Fire Seed to quickly break through the peak of the second level of the Qi Drawing Stage and reach the third level!

As the saying goes, "Strike while the iron is hot." Song Xinghai decided to take advantage of the situation. When the medicinal power was almost exhausted, he swallowed two more Six Yang Snow-Melting Pills and repeated the process.

Time passed, and Song Xinghai's body underwent a remarkable transformation: the third level of the Qi Drawing Stage, the peak of the third level, the fourth level, the peak of the fourth level, the fifth level, and the peak of the fifth level! He broke through all the way to the peak of the fifth level of the Qi Drawing Stage. The Imperial Fire Seed seemed to have had its fill for the day and lazily refused to work further. Song Xinghai also felt that this breakthrough was enough for now. His mother had said that the early stages of cultivation were the foundation, like building a skyscraper. The more solid the foundation, the higher and more stable the building could be. Therefore, he must not be too hasty. If he advanced too much at once, his foundation would be unstable, making it very difficult to establish his foundation later.

The difficulty of advancing in the Qi Drawing Stage was ten times that of the Body Tempering Stage. He felt very satisfied to have advanced three levels at once. All of this was thanks to the Imperial Fire Seed, whose energy amplification ability was truly astonishing! It was like an inexhaustible treasure!

Song Xinghai stopped the technique, leaped up, and felt refreshed and as light as a swallow. On a whim, he took off his clothes, dove through the waterfall, and jumped into the cool lake, swimming freely.

It was already noon, and the sun was high in the sky, making the weather quite hot. Song Xinghai swam like a free fish, darting back and forth, feeling very comfortable. The fish around him looked at this large creature curiously, not knowing what kind of monster it was. Whenever he got close, they all scattered in fear. Song Xinghai's childlike heart was stirred, and he chased the fish in the water, causing a commotion in the lake.

While he was playing, he accidentally noticed two streaks of light in the sky not far away, approaching at an astonishing speed.

The two streaks of light, one white and one blue, with the white one in front and the blue one behind, were like two meteors, rapidly flying towards him!

"Damn! Could it be a UFO?" Song Xinghai quickly dived under a lotus leaf, hiding his entire body in the water, with only his eyes and nose above the surface, observing the direction of the two streaks of light through the gaps in the lotus leaves.

Coincidentally, the two streaks of light stopped in the air directly above Song Xinghai. He then saw that they were not UFOs but two people.
