...

All the progress was mostly standard, except for “Qi Rushing to the Disease, reducing the disease” which had made tremendous progress, nearly reaching Perfection.

In fact, under normal circumstances, he should still be at about seventy to eighty percent.

However, the progress in Blood Qi strength had incredibly increased Wang Sheng’s Qi-Blood Power by more than twenty percent in an instant, and several ‘wounds’ caused by the disease were almost instantly repaired.

This was why the progress had reached 97.5% so quickly, just a few more steps to the next stage—

Refining Essence to Qi!

Refining Essence to Qi is the first stage after completing the Foundation Establishment, and it is also the first stage of the path to immortality.

Of course, what he needed to do now was to complete the Hundred Days Foundation Establishment.

The remaining 2.5% wouldn’t take much, but it would still require some time. Lately, he planned to focus his energy on this.

“Almost there, the last ‘wound’ will also be repaired soon!”

Wang Sheng didn’t delay, drinking a cup of chrysanthemum tea, and with the boost of the Limit-breaking Chrysanthemum, he began cultivating the Inner Core Skill.

As the Inner Core Skill operated, the progress of “Qi Rushing to the Disease, reducing the disease” continued to rise.

Soon, three days had passed.

“Qi Rushing to the Disease, reducing the disease (99.99%)”

The final bit of progress was effortlessly completed by Wang Sheng, reaching one hundred percent.

This signified the completion of reducing the disease!

It also signified that Wang Sheng’s Hundred Days Foundation Establishment was entirely complete, and his body’s repairs were fully concluded.

His body had undergone a comprehensive and thorough repair, reaching a state of being free from illness and flaws, without any defects.

This was a state of rebirth, only by reaching such a stage could he truly claim to have established his foundation, laying an incredibly solid foundation for his future cultivation.

At that moment of completion, Wang Sheng felt an indescribable sense of fulfillment, as if his body had been sublimated.

He became more aware and clear about the strength within himself.

The power of Qi-Blood, Blood Qi Smoke, or even his brute force, though he hadn’t tested it, he knew he could unleash even more considerable power.

If reaching the realm of Blood Qi Smoke before had brought him to the level of a grandmaster in this world, now he had taken a big step forward within the realm of the grandmaster.

“Is this what Hundred Days Foundation Establishment Perfection feels like?”

This indescribable feeling was somewhat addictive.

All the meridians were unblocked, and all illnesses were gone, seemingly this was the true state a person should have.

At the same time—

“Hundred Days Foundation Establishment: 100%”

This was his current progress bar.

The Hundred Days Foundation Establishment was complete, but he didn’t immediately enter the next stage.

Wang Sheng was very clear about why this was.

One hundred days after Foundation Establishment, the first challenge was Refining Essence to Qi, and the first challenge of this state was to form a Dan Embryo, which is the rudimentary form of the great medicine in the human body.

This was also the first state of Refining Essence and Qi, Producing Medicine, which could also be said to be adjusting medicine.

This step was the beginning of Refining Essence and Qi; before this, the vital essence needed to combine with Primordial Qi to form a light, insubstantial entity of combined Essence Qi.

Only when the combined Essence Qi entity appeared could the River Carriage Operation begin, starting the Producing Medicine, beginning the true path of Refining Essence and Qi.

And Wang Sheng’s combined Essence Qi entity was the Qi-Blood Power.

Essence Qi was stored in Dantian, located three inches below the navel, the origin of vital energy, and the root of the five viscera and six bowels.

Simply put, Dantian is the source of cultivation power as well as the original birthplace of Wang Sheng’s Qi-Blood Power.

After it was born, however, Wang Sheng’s Qi-Blood Power had always been traveling around the Small Circulation, rushing to the disease.

After the hundred days of Foundation Establishment were completed, it then returned to Dantian to lie dormant until called upon, when it would burst forth with incredible power to help him suppress everything.

Simultaneously, returning to Dantian in dormancy was a necessary condition for the River Carriage Operation.

River Carriage Operation was the phenomenon of Essence Qi rising and falling along the Ren and Du meridians, its pathway being River Carriage Road, and the entire process was a Small Circulation.

Essence Qi would continue to move through the River Carriage Road to the Mud Ball Palace, then start descending through locations like Magpie Bridge and ultimately returning to Dantian.

Wang Sheng’s Essence Qi was Qi-Blood Power, a force neither Qi nor blood, a fusion of vital essence and Primordial Qi on its own under the guidance of Inner Core Skill, which is why Wang Sheng’s River Carriage Operation’s Essence Qi was Qi-Blood Power.

After one hundred days of Foundation Establishment, it was necessary to use Inner Core Skill to control the Qi-Blood Power as it moved through River Carriage Operation to ultimately reach the state of Producing Medicine, but this process required Wang Sheng to perform it himself, not the autonomous operation of Qi rushing to the disease.

Without hesitation and after instructing DaBai to guard well, he began to control the Qi-Blood Power in his Dantian, starting its circulation through River Carriage Road.

When Qi rushed to the disease, the effect of Qi-Blood Power clearing all meridians had become evident, making the operation of Qi-Blood Power very smooth.

Before long, the “hundred days Foundation Establishment” progress bar disappeared.

A new progress bar appeared.

“Stage: Refining Essence and Qi, Producing Medicine (1%)”

The appearance of the progress bar greatly relieved Wang Sheng’s heart.

Having a progress bar meant he wouldn’t go wrong while operating Qi-Blood Power; when reaching Mud Ball Palace, it would also eliminate risks, making something like cerebral hemorrhage impossible.

With the assurance of the progress bar, Qi-Blood Power operated even more smoothly, and after an indeterminate amount of time, Wang Sheng completed the first River Carriage Operation, meaning a complete Small Circulation of Qi-Blood Power.

There were no significant changes after the first Small Circulation.

But Wang Sheng could already feel a change in his Qi-Blood Power.

Producing Medicine could also be termed adjusting medicine; the “adjusting” described this process clearly, combining one’s own “spirit” and “Qi” to gradually merge, ultimately truly succeeding in Producing Medicine.

After this “medicine” took form, it was known as a small medicine, only becoming a great medicine in the human body when mixed with spirit.

After a Small Circulation, Wang Sheng could already feel a subtle change in his Qi-Blood Power.

He had a premonition that with the fusion of “spirit” and Qi-Blood Power, he could control the Qi-Blood Power even more conveniently.

“Continue!”

One Small Circulation was utterly insufficient.

He wasn’t looking to complete the Producing Medicine process in one breath, but he at least had to form an embryonic outline of the medicine.

Thus, half a month passed.

“Refining Essence and Qi, Producing Medicine: 15%”

After half a month of Small Circulation, Wang Sheng knew that today was the day the Medicine Embryo would form…
