inspire-indiana Chapter 161 Final Assessment
Chapter 161 Final Assessment
Jingguo Breaking Cloud City.
Qingyun Shop, three floors.
Senior Xu was seen drinking alone in the merit room, which was rare.
For cultivators at his level, no matter how much they drink, they cannot get drunk.
But his face was slightly flushed at the moment.
As a guest cultivator of Tianji, what a great opportunity this was.
I wonder where Fellow Daoist Lu will be eliminated.
Jingguo is just a small country, even if someone is lucky enough to pass the evaluation, it is impossible for them to become a guest cultivator of Tianji.
No rush, the outcome will be revealed soon.
In another room on the third floor, the shopkeeper Ren was buried in his accounts.
When he got tired of calculating, he looked up and smiled.
It was a pleasant surprise for him that Lu Yu was able to pass the evaluation as a guest cultivator of Tianji.
Although Lu Yu was only a first-class guest cultivator, because he passed the evaluation, Lu Yu's status in Qingyun Shop was already equivalent to a second-class guest cultivator.
If it weren't for the help of Old Ye's introduction, I'm afraid that Lu Yu and Fellow Daoist Lu would have just been acquaintances.
It seems that I need to find a time to go to the Shengling Mountain Market and thank Old Ye properly.
After thinking this, a smile appeared on the corner of Ren's mouth, and after a moment of absent-mindedness, he buried himself in the accounts again.
Suddenly, he looked up again and secretly considered that he must visit the Lanya Mansion in the future. This kind of facade cannot be saved.
...
A quiet room behind a small door.
Lu Yu sat cross-legged in the rolling spiritual mist.
The rapid operation of the ancestral Changchun technique in his body, combined with various spiritual gathering enhancements and Xuan Yuan Dan, made his spiritual gathering speed almost as fast as a dragon sucking water.
After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes.
A look of joy appeared on his face.
Indeed, this is the spiritual gathering pill that even Foundation Building cultivators have to exchange for.
Although it was only one pill, it was of a relatively inferior quality, yet it almost doubled his spiritual gathering speed.
Moreover, the medicinal power in his body had not fully dissipated.
With this speed, it was almost the same as the spiritual gathering speed of someone with a heavenly spiritual root.
He even recalled his past experiences on the Shengling Mountain.
To be able to reach this point today was not easy.
Lu Yu sighed with emotion.
His body and mind were constantly swirling in the clouds, but he quickly suppressed his restless body and mind.
He still needed to act low-key.
No matter how comfortable the current conditions were, he was still just a Qi Refining cultivator.
Even if he luckily reached Foundation Building in the future, he would still be a weakling in this cultivation world's food chain.
After adjusting for a long time and taking several deep breaths, Lu Yu entered a more focused state of cultivation.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Yu had already reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining before fully refining the power of the Xuan Yuan Dan.
If he weren't outside at the moment, he would probably celebrate with his wives and concubines.
But the more this was the case, the more he missed his wives and concubines at home.
Even the slightly torturous situation with Qin Qingrou came to mind.
Just as he was longing for his wife, a deep voice sounded again.
"The final assessment begins."
The scenery around him changed, and Lu Yu once again arrived in the quiet room emitting a faint white light.
"Star Continent."
"Jingguo Poyun City... First-class guest alchemist Lu Yu."
"Guard..."
To Lu Yu's surprise, the final assessment was also guarding a wooden stake.
But the difference was that there was an jade box on the wooden stake, and inside the jade box, there was a flickering green light, seemingly an extraordinary pill.
This time, he also communicated with the spiritual turtle guarding the wooden stake using his spiritual consciousness.
After half a bag of Hao Huo extinguishing pills fell into the mouth of the spiritual turtle.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Balls of fierce fire shot towards the dark green light cluster.
But the dark green light cluster did not dissolve like last time, leaving only a faint green light.
As the dark green light cluster integrated with the fireballs, the light cluster instead took on a layer of faint red light.
And the dark green light cluster was eventually absorbed by the mysterious pill inside the jade box.
As the green and red light gradually faded, Lu Yu suddenly felt his palm heat up.
He felt as if the pill inside the jade box was breathing, causing his palm to feel alternately hot and cold.
And after a moment, the imprint on his palm seemed to come alive, gradually growing from the palm until it covered his whole body.
Finally, the circular imprint unexpectedly grew into intricate patterns resembling formations, engraved on Lu Yu's body.
As the patterns spread all over his body, the spiritual platform in Lu Yu's body also expanded and contracted.
The spiritual energy inside the spiritual mansion surged like it was boiling, constantly churning, and even showing signs of liquefaction.
Boom!
The entire transformation continued, and Lu Yu's body seemed to be breathing as well, alternating between cold and hot.
The spiritual energy around him also crazily poured into his body, the five spiritual roots greedily swallowing and spitting within the spiritual platform.
Lu Yu suddenly remembered the words of the silver-robed cultivator.
After the assessment, he might become a Foundation Building cultivator.
He suddenly had an enlightenment in his mind and quickly flipped his palm to take out a Foundation Building pill from his storage ring.
After activating the ancestral longevity technique, the spiritual energy inside the spiritual platform gradually became bound and compressed by an invisible force.
In this realm, if a cultivator wanted to achieve Foundation Building, besides having the appropriate cultivation level, the most important factors were talent and cultivation technique.
But among these three factors, which was the most important and which was secondary, there was almost no fixed answer and it depended on the specific situation.
Just like the barrel effect in his previous life, it was only after making up for the shortcomings of not reaching Foundation Building that his cultivation could reach a higher level.
But for Lu Yu, his biggest shortcoming was not having a cultivation technique.
But now that he was on the verge of Foundation Building, where could he find a suitable cultivation technique, even if he had the time?
Not to mention the lack of time, even if he had time, there were very few cultivation techniques that were created based on the five spiritual roots.
The five spiritual roots were almost representative of the difficulty in reaching Foundation Building, so how could there be any cultivation techniques?
While suppressing the surging spiritual power that was almost about to burst and almost tear his body apart, Lu Yu pondered for a solution.
With the support of his enlightenment, he gained a sense of insight into the ancestral longevity technique.
He even had the idea of modifying the cultivation technique, making it suitable for Foundation Building.
Moreover, his spiritual consciousness was almost on par with an ordinary Foundation Building cultivator.
And the ancestral longevity technique was the cultivation technique Lu Yu had been practicing day and night, with various enhancements.
He actually found a way to modify the cultivation technique.
After he modified the technique, not only did the trajectory of its operation become more complex, but the difficulty of cultivation also increased.
But with strong insight as support, Lu Yu skillfully controlled it.
With the shortcomings of the cultivation technique made up for, the alternating sensation of cold and hot in Lu Yu's body became more frequent and intense.
The feeling of the spiritual power being compressed in the spiritual platform also became stronger.
In this situation, the spiritual power that had already shown signs of liquefaction gradually condensed into spiritual liquid bit by bit.
With the appearance of this unprecedented first drop of spiritual liquid, in just half a day, all the spiritual energy in Lu Yu's spiritual platform liquefied.
Boom!
Lu Yu's aura sank, and the spiritual power in his body became even more vigorous and turbulent, even causing ripples of energy waves to ripple around his body.
It's done! He actually became a Foundation Building cultivator!
