Chapter 427 - 189: First Entry into Foundation
Translator: 549690339
That is another symbol of the Foundation Establishment Stage, besides Spirit Consciousness Release – Spirit Power Liquid Transformation.
Only with the Spirit Power Liquid Transformation can a True Cultivator of the Foundation Establishment Stage execute various powerful techniques, and even control top-grade magic tools, even magic items to some extent.
Luo Chen’s Spirit Liquid isn’t much.
But this is not all he has.
Within his first level Sea of Qi, there still lay a large amount of Spirit Qi cloud clusters.
That is the residual gain after taking five portions of Foundation Establishment Spirit Medicine.
No matter it’s the wildly potent Foundation Establishment Pill or the milder Emperor Liquor, the spirit Qi they contain is immensely vast.
Luo Chen, within a short period, has attempted the Foundation Establishment Stage several times, there surely would have been instances where he couldn t utilize them properly.
Now, all of them remain within his freshly opened Sea of Qi.
Without fully refining it, he cannot commence his true cultivation during the Foundation Establishment Stage.
“So, I must get the Yi Mu Medicine King Sutra!”
After the inner view of his body.
Luo Chen, for a moment, opens his Attribute Panel.

[Achievement Points: 3]
The first thing his gaze fell upon was the Lifespan column.
150!
“Finally, it changed!”
Upon seeing this, Luo Chen couldn’t help but exhale deeply.
All this while, his lifespan wasn’t like a normal person’s.
A human, generally when stepping onto the path of cultivation, the body begins to transform gradually due to the tempering of Spirit Qi.
A normal Qi Refinement Cultivator can live up to around 120 years.
Like Sun Shou of the Yu Ding Sword Pavilion, he is clearly over ninety, but every day he is happy and sprightly, showing no signs of aging in his actions.
And like Granny Yuan from the Luo Tian Creed, who is already over a hundred years old.
However, in her day-to-day activities, she only seems a little old.
It could be said, as long as they don’t suffer any serious injuries, a cultivator s lifespan would slowly increase after each realm breakthrough.
This is a slow transformation at the very essence of life.
It’s not accomplished in one stroke, but gradually.
The phrase “once you achieve Foundation Establishment, increase lifespan by two hundred” is just a general statement.
But Luo Chen’s lifespan did not change at all from the Third Level Qi Refinement Stage to Finalization of Qi Refinement.
Luo Chen guessed, this might be related to him crossing over.
His lifespan is inherited from his past life!
Back then, as a corporate slave, he worked diligently, working from nine to nine, six days a week.
Living safely to seventy-five was actually quite good.
But in the Immortal Cultivation World now, he would really be regarded as short-lived.
Now that his lifespan limit has increased to 150, this is indeed great news! “Moreover, as my cultivation level advances and I break through realms, my lifespan should still change.”
“After all, the lifespan limit of a true Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, as recorded in history, is 300 years!
Luo Chen had previously consulted about the lifespan of a True Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Generally speaking, the limit is 250 years.
Compared with Qi Refinement Cultivators, the lifespan is doubled, and there are more than a dozen additional years.
This is why all the Great Sects favor disciples who break through the
Foundation Establishment Stage before the age of sixty.
Because in doing so, they will have well over a hundred and ninety years to prepare for the Golden Core Period.
As for the recorded lifespan of 300 years?
Of course, it’s not a normal state.
But someone had consumed a life-extending Elixir.
The Broken Mountain Gang once found a Six Leaf Heavenly Emperor Lotus.
It is said that one leaf extends life by ten years, six fully formed leaves can increase lifespan by sixty years, this is a genuine treasure of heaven and earth!
Uncle Mi Shuhua had relied on this medicine to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill from the Yu Ding Sword Sect.
Luo Chen naturally hopes to possess such spirit grass.
In this way, he will have more time to prepare for the Golden Core Period.
But as of now, there is no urgent need.
A sufficient lifespan of over a hundred years allows him to accomplish many things.
“My realm is at the first level of foundation establishment. The progress is quite different from before.”
In previous breakthroughs, whether it was the proficiency of spells and elixirs, or realm cultivation techniques, they were often all ‘1’.
This time, ten points were directly added.
Thinking about it, it is likely due to the contribution of the five foundation establishment spirit medicines.
Luo Chen scrolled down through the list quickly, pausing at Ming God’s Divine Cleanse.
This is a good technique!
In his encounter with the intense pain from the foundation establishment pill and the warm fuzzy illusions caused by the Emperor Liquor, it kept him sufficiently lucid.
As for other things, there isn’t much to see.
Right now, Luo Chen is more eager to experiment with the changes to the spells he possesses after reaching the foundation establishment stage.
There is never a spell that doesn’t change!
With the upgrading of the cultivator’s realm, even the weakest spell will exhibit significant changes in the hands of foundation establishment cultivators and qi-refining cultivators.
The first is the fireball technique.
This is a technique he is so familiar with that it can be released or withdrawn at will.
With a thought, a small fireball appears in the palm of his hand.
“Just a thread of spirit liquid has the power comparable to my original small fireball when I used it with all my strength.”
“If I increase the input of spirit power, the might would be several times more than before.”
This change seems insignificant.
However, Luo Chen also mastered the merging process to form the Fierce Sun Technique, which is a terrifying amplification!
“If I encounter an enemy now, I don’t need to hide and cultivate the Fierce Sun Technique.”
“Just within a few breaths, I can condense a Fierce Sun Technique that can threaten peers of the same stage.”
Luo Chen nodded, putting away the Fireball Technique.
This is a massive leap forward.
It means that his trump card, the Fierce Sun Technique, can serve as the standard method of dealing with enemies.
Of course, to maximize its power, it still requires sufficient time for fusion, but that doesn’t affect anything.
His ordinary usage of the Fierce Sun Technique already possesses the strength of a second-order technique.
After the fireball was extinguished, Luo Chen then familiarised himself with the other techniques he possessed.
Even magic tools like the Sword Pill and the Green Musk Aggregation Jiao Flag were taken out to test.
It must be said that after the foundation establishment, the changes were truly substantial.
An abundant supply of Qi power allowed him to easily wield these previously spirit power-draining magic tools.
“No wonder Duan Qiankun could endlessly use the Heluo Sword when facing Wang Yuan.”
“I now can freely use the Green Musk Aggregation Jiao Flag too!”
All these are related to offense.
Luo Chen calms his mind and meditatively channels sparks of spirit liquid, carefully infusing them into his eyes.
The next moment, his eyes shine brightly!
The fully completed Spirit Vision Technique, abruptly opening his eyes.
Luo Chen stands at the top of Xiao Huan Mountain, his eyes sweeping over the wilderness.
One hundred li, two hundred Il-
in an instant, Luo Chen could see a thousand miles away!
“Thousand Mile Vision?”
“This must be considered a divine power!”
Luo Chen marvelled, this kind of change truly took him by surprise.
However, after thinking carefully, it seemed to make sense.
He has cultivated the Spirit Vision Technique to the level of finalization, which was extraordinary itself.
Over the years, he has consumed a lot of Tongming Liquid, and essentially never stopped taking Runming Pearl Liquid.
Although there had been no qualitative change before.
But after the breakthrough in his realm, he reaped joyful rewards.
“In this way, I can now anticipate my enemies’ actions!”
Luo Chen’s divine soul endowment is strong, which is why he managed to compete with Nangong Jin at the early stage of foundation establishment.
He even shows a faint advantage!
Nonetheless, in terms of the range of releasing spirit consciousness, it’s merely five li.
Three li more than the average new Foundation Establishment Generation. This is a significant improvement, and a clear lead at the initial phase. But compared to his Thousand Mile Vision, it’s a bit lacking.
No wonder, as he didn’t consume too much Tongyou Pill, his divine soul endowment is still not strong enough.
“Well, most of the techniques are familiar, and the remaining will be familiarized after stabilizing my realm.”
It took a long time for Luo Chen to familiarize himself with these techniques. At this time, the sky was already slightly light.
Just as Luo Chen planned to withdraw the Spirit Vision Technique, his sight paused in the direction he was most familiar with.
“Huh?”
