Chapter 260: Chapter 157 Summoning of Gold Sword Zen Ren 2

“Thank you, Third Senior Brother. Now 1 can rightfully call you my senior brother.” Lin Yi said with a smile. In fact, he owed much to his third senior brother. Without him, Lin Yi wouldn’t have had enough spirit stones for his early cultivation.

After that, several senior brothers and sisters wished him congratulations. Almost ten people came, including some fellow disciples from Jin Xiu Peak, who also congratulated Lin Yi.

Being a direct disciple of Golden Core Real Person and becoming a foundation building cultivator, one’s situation differs vastly from that of a Qi Refining person. Such a person also gets a mountain named after him, which was incredibly enviable.

After the congratulations, Zhou Yun Feng said to Lin Yi, “Junior brother, you should focus on consolidating your cultivation at the moment. I’ve already reported your breakthrough to our Master. He wants you to go to the Golden Sword Hall in ten days and formally become a direct disciple.”

“Thank you, eldest senior brother.” Lin Yi made a fist salute. Being a direct disciple of the Golden Core Real Person, Qi Refinement is only a candidacy. To truly inherit the mantle and learn the skills, one must reach the Foundation Building Realm.

“We shall take our leave. We will meet again in the Golden Sword Hall in ten days.” Zhou Yun Feng waved his hand, leading the others away from the Cave Mansion.

Lin Yi gave a fist salute to Zhou Yun Feng and the others as they left and thanked his fellow disciples from Jin Xiu Peak for their congratulations. Then, he returned to the courtyard of his Cave Mansion to contemplate his next plans.

This year was his sixth year of taking the Dan God’s test, and more than half a year had already passed. His intermediate alchemy skills had reached the Great Perfect Level. He now needed to attempt to refine high-level pills in the remaining time of this year, so as to improve his skills to the high-level entry level.

Despite being the entry level of high-grade pills, the materials needed for the

Golden Elixir are extremely expensive. He considered refining the Gathering Yuan Pill, a pill used for cultivation-level ascension in the Golden Core Realm, to break through his skills to entry level.

The price of this pill’s ingredients was much cheaper than that of the Golden Elixir.

The price of the Foundation Building Pill material, which facilitates the breakthrough from Qi Refinement to Foundation Building, is eight hundred spirit stones, while the price of the Golden Elixir material, which facilitates the breakthrough from Foundation Building to Golden Core, is ten thousand spirit stones, a full ten times more expensive.

The over a hundred thousand spirit stones he risked his life to earn in the Secret Realm could only purchase little more than ten sets of Golden Elixir ingredients, and a lower-grade Golden Elixir costs eight thousand spirit stones. As long as he managed to refine one, he’d essentially make back his investment.

One set of ingredients could potentially refine three pills, but very few high-order alchemists could refine three pills with the minimum required ingredients.

However, the Gathering Yuan Pill, which the Golden Core Realm uses for cultivation advancement, is somewhat easier to refine than the Golden Elixir.

Lin Yi planned that if his successful refining of the Gathering Yuan Pill still couldn’t upgrade his alchemy skills from the intermediate full completion stage to the high-level entry stage, he would have to try refining the Golden Elixir.

Over the next ten days, he continued to consolidate his cultivation in the Cave Mansion. Capacity to rise from the first layer of Foundation Building to the fifth layer in just six years would surely shock the entire Cultivation World, if word of it were to spread.

If he hadn’t been given the title of [Slacker], given his main focus of pill refinement, he could have advanced from the first layer to the third layer at most.

He congratulated himself on attending some classes in the past and, together with the class taught by Golden Sword Zen Ren, he had reached the required ten classes. Otherwise, he would be secluding himself for cultivation the whole time, with no opportunity to attend classes. He might have had to wait years before he could acquire his title of [Slacker].

As Lin Yi was consolidating his cultivation, news of his advancement in cultivation spread within the Liu Yun Sect. However, many fellow cultivators didn’t pay much attention to it.

If a direct disciple of Golden Core Real Person couldn’t even break through to the Foundation Building realm, he would lose face for his master.

Yet, some Golden Core cultivators who knew the inside story shook their heads regretfully. If Lin Yi had delayed Foundation Building for a few more years, he might have brought back some valuable Spirit Grasses from the Dan God Secret Realm while still at the Qi refining realm.

Some among them had suggested to Golden Sword Zen Ren that Lin Yi should postpone his breakthrough to the Foundation Building realm and go into the Dan God Secret Realm again in order to contribute more to the sect.

However, this suggestion was unequivocally rejected by Golden Sword Zen Ren. He would never forcefully control when his disciples should break through.

Delaying the breakthrough for several years may seem like a short time, but for cultivators, even a few months can be extremely precious.

Once the limit of one’s lifespan is reached without a breakthrough, one can only face a demise with that life path disappearing.

As for the Longevity Pill, it’s not like candy that you can eat to infinitely extend your life. In fact, a cultivator can only take one dose in their lifetime. Cheating time is not so easy.

Before, they thought that even if Golden Sword Zen Ren withheld help, with Lin Yi’s lower-grade spiritual roots, there was no guarantee he could break through to the Foundation Establishment stage within a decade or more. Even with a supreme-level foundation establishment pill having a 50% success rate, his talent was so poor that this percentage might as well have been zero.

To their surprise, Lin Yi managed to break through to the Foundation Establishment in just over six years. And with that breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment realm…

The possibility of entering the Secret Realm again was gone for good. No Foundation Building cultivator could ever enter the Dan God Secret Realm. For thousands of years, this fact had remained unchallenged.

Ten days later, Lin Yi flew on his sword to Golden Sword Peak. The flying sword he was using was the ordinary one he had bought before entering the Secret Realm.

After returning from the Secret Realm, he became a direct disciple and asked his master, Golden Sword Zen Ren, for a flying sword, so he didn’t buy or custom order any other flying swords over the years.

Before, he could only secretly fly on his sword, but now, having openly reached the Foundation Building stage, he could finally fly with pride.

It has to be said, flying through the sky on a sword feels much better than riding a flying boat.

At that time, Golden Sword Zen Ren did not summon his disciples, but some of them voluntarily gathered there, When they saw Lin Yi flying over on his sword, their faces showed clear envy.

In the Golden Sword Plaza, many fellow disciples congratulated Lin Yi. Qiu Sheng Hai, who had helped Lin Yi with his farm work in the past, was still at the Large Completion of Qi refining, unable to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm. However, there was no jealousy on his face, only joy as he sincerely congratulated Lin Yi.

In addition, Wu Tian Zhang from the Pill Hall and Su Qi Hong from the Affairs Hall all congratulated Lin Yi in the plaza.

Wu Tian Zhang felt an even deeper sense of wonder. It had taken him several years to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage with the help of a supreme-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, while Lin Yi, on the other hand, successfully broke through from the Qi Refining Eighth Stage in only six years, becoming a Foundation Building cultivator.

Insight and effort are not qualities that the title of a direct disciple can give. He had a feeling that Lin Yi’s cultivation levels would undoubtedly outpace his own in the future.

Lin Yi returned their congratulations with a fist-and-palm salute, expressing his thanks. Under the gaze of everyone, he walked into the Golden Sword Hall.

Entering the hall, he saw that all the disciples present were Golden Sword Zen

Ren t s direct disciples. Including him, there were twenty in total and all were at the Foundation Building stage of cultivation, except for him who had just broken through.

Lin Yi bowed deeply to Golden Sword Zen Ren who was seated at the top, “Disciple Lin Yi, greeting Master.”

Golden Sword Zen Ren showed a faint smile on his face, slowly raised his hand, “Get up, Lin Yi. I never thought that in just over six years, you could break through from the eight level of Qi refinement to the Foundation Establishment.’

“This comes as quite a surprise to me, and I congratulate you. Now, you’re truly on your way to becoming a cultivator.”

“Thank you, Master, I was able to break through to the Foundation Establishment thanks in part to the guidance of my fellow brothers and sisters. Without them, I wouldn’t have had the confidence to succeed,” Lin Yi thanked them with a bow and glanced over at Zhou Yun Feng and the others.

Golden Sword Zen Ren gently nodded, “I’ve heard about this. It’s excellent that you brothers and sisters can help each other.”

“The path to cultivation is full of dangers, and you must have an unwavering spirit. Don’t give up even if there’s only a glimmer of hope.”

“I will remember your teachings, Master,” Lin Yi nodded earnestly.

Golden Sword Zen Ren waved his hand and laughed, “All right, now that you’ve become a Foundation Building cultivator, go ahead and name your own peak..”
