Lying in the cool stream, Xu Feng quietly felt his newly established Foundation Body. The oil and grime had been washed away, and his strong yet supple body glimmered with a faint sheen.
With the successful establishment of his foundation, a large amount of impurities were expelled from his body, and his Meridian became wide and expansive. Xu Feng silently circulated his internal energy, and the Fire Elemental Power flowed like a slender fire dragon through the broad Meridian.
The spiritual power after establishing the foundation was fundamentally different from that of the Refining Qi Stage. The Refining Qi Stage involved refining essence into qi, forming Spiritual Energy that was vast and abundant, filling all hundred meridians. After establishing the foundation, the Spiritual Energy was refined and compressed into a liquid state, allowing it to flow unobstructed within the unchanged width of the Meridian.
A drop of water, a drop of air—who is lighter, who is heavier? Who is stronger, who is weaker?
Disciples at the Refining Qi Stage could never defeat masters at the Foundation Establishment Stage because their spiritual powers were of different natures; just as no amount of cotton could stop a gentle prick from a needle.
After cleansing his body, Xu Feng put on his damp clothes. With a slight release of Fire Elemental Power, his clothes were instantly dried. This time, Xu Feng used his most proficient Fire Technique; the Foundation Body of Fire Element One Star radiated a faint red glow. The other four elements had all reached Refining Qi Level Ten, and breaking through was just around the corner.
The long-awaited mysterious space finally underwent new changes with this foundation establishment; the second star under Golden Arrow for Fire Element One Star lit up.
Fire Element One Star Two Stars!
So it was like this; the seven stars under Golden Arrow corresponded to the seven realms of Modern Clerk. No wonder Refining Qi Stage could only ever reach one star—if he guessed correctly, to light up three stars would require reaching Golden Core Stage.
Xu Feng practiced Five Elements Cultivation; after establishing Fire Element One Star, it did not mean that other Cultivation Methods also broke through to Foundation Establishment Stage. If Xu Feng wanted to use powers from other elements, he could only exert strength equivalent to Refining Qi Level Ten.
The body after establishing the foundation had a significant impact on the Cultivation Method of Refining Qi Stage. As Xu Feng began to circulate his energy slightly, he felt the spiritual power flowing rapidly, almost bursting forth.
Seizing the opportunity, Xu Feng flew back into the cave with A Qi. After a brief period of adjustment, he entered another round of closed-door cultivation.
This time, the duration of his retreat was not long; it mainly focused on solidifying his cultivation and breaking through to four elements. A month later, Xu Feng began to push for Foundation Establishment Stage once again.
This attempt at breakthrough felt like a natural progression. Under the dual influence of Fire Element One Star's Foundation Body and Control Vein Technique, Xu Feng completed the foundation establishment for Earth Element Cultivation Method in just seven days. Following the order of mutual generation among the five elements, he subsequently broke through in the other three elements as well, all within less than a month.
In the mysterious space, the second star for Gold, Wood, Water, and Earth under Golden Arrow also lit up.
With a body possessing Five Elements Foundation, Xu Feng let out a wolf-like howl at the cave entrance, expressing his exhilaration. The birds and beasts from before were startled by this human's roar and scattered in panic, thinking that some new high-level beast had entered their territory.
A Qi encouragingly patted Xu Feng on the shoulder but saw him leap into the air and jump out of the cave. A Qi hurriedly flew out to catch this impulsive junior brother mid-air.
In mid-air, Xu Feng flicked his wrist; his long sword "Drinking Hatred" pierced into the rock wall, leaving a long scratch as he stabilized himself during this motion. Using the resistance created by Drinking Hate Sword, Xu Feng landed steadily at the bottom of the cliff.
Diving into the water for a bath, Xu Feng changed into his only set of light blue Robe. The clothing from New Moon Sect had become tattered after numerous escapes and battles; with a rub of his hands, it turned into a pile of ashes.
After completing each Foundation Establishment, Xu Feng would take a bath. The subsequent four times of Foundation Establishment were not as dirty as the first, but still, a lot of impurities were expelled from his body. Through the five repetitions of Foundation Establishment, Xu Feng's physique became as clear as jade, rivaling the appearance of Chu Wushang, the leader of the New Moon Sect.
Xu Feng also felt the strength of his body. If he encountered Chou Shixiong and his two companions from the Rage War Hall at this moment, he would likely hold his own even against three opponents in a physical fight.
While others might be fortunate to achieve Foundation Establishment after years of hard training, this anomaly, Xu Feng, managed to complete it five times in succession. The strength of his body was evident.
"Wow!" A Qi provocatively shouted. Xu Feng understood A Qi's intent and laughed heartily as he swung his sword.
A Qi intended to test Xu Feng's combat power and did not dodge. With a flap of her wings, Xu Feng's Drinking Hate Sword struck solidly against them. Clang! The wings emitted a metallic sound upon impact, causing A Qi to sway slightly and nod repeatedly.
Xu Feng took the opportunity to test his own strength. The Superior Spirit Sword danced in the air as he continuously switched between different Five Elements Spiritual Powers. He executed the Azure Dragon Thirteen Swords using gold, wood, water, fire, and earth spiritual powers in turn. The space shimmered with five-colored sword light, and A Qi's eyes brightened as she was inspired by this talented junior brother.
A Qi's feathers were incredibly hard, rivaling that of a Superior Spirit Tool. Xu Feng's sword techniques were directly blocked by her wings; during their clash of strength, Xu Feng gained a clear understanding of his own attack power.
Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators could already utilize weapons to unleash the attributes of their Cultivation Methods. For instance, a practitioner of Fire Element Technique could imbue their sword strikes with intense flames, while one practicing Water Element Technique could unleash chilling ice.
When Foundation Establishment Practitioners engaged in combat, they could immediately discern each other's Cultivation Method attributes. If the two parties practiced opposing Cultivation Methods, victory would lean toward the advantageous side. For example, if a Fire Element One Star practitioner faced a Water Element practitioner, they would have to admit defeat. Of course, if the Fire Element One Star had powerful Combat Techniques, they could easily defeat a Water Element practitioner.
Now equipped with all five elements and benefiting from the double enhancement of Arrow Meridian, although Xu Feng only possessed Foundation Establishment Stage strength, he was almost guaranteed victory against Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage opponents. If he employed Archery Skills, even Foundation Establishment Late Stage practitioners would find it difficult to contend with him; however, defeating a Foundation Establishment Late Stage opponent was still unlikely.
After nearly an hour of fierce battle, Xu Feng withdrew his sword. Just as A Qi was about to close in on him, Xu Feng's Sad Arrow flew toward her. A Qi raised her wings; the arrow made a crisp sound upon impact and fell to the ground with its tip broken off.
Xu Feng shot four more arrows in quick succession; each arrow was different but yielded the same result—A Qi merely blocked them with her wings and they broke upon contact. A Qi cast a disdainful glance at Xu Feng, who felt embarrassed.
The method of releasing arrows was not at fault; there was only one possibility for this outcome: the weapon was too poor.
The Sad Arrow was a mid-grade magical tool that Xu Feng had commissioned Zhou Ba to forge for two hundred spirit stones. It had been nearly invincible in previous battles; although the iron arrows he supplemented later were of lower quality, they were still capable of saving lives and killing enemies. However, against opponents above Foundation Establishment Stage, this set of bows and arrows was practically useless.
Without the advantage of Archery Skills, if he wanted to survive against Foundation Establishment Late Stage practitioners, he could only rely on his Superior Spirit Tools—Drinking Hatred and No Enmity. These two Superior Spirit Tools were coveted even by Golden Core Cultivators; once they appeared on the scene, it was likely that he would be targeted first.
It seemed he would have to trouble Zhou Ba again; he wondered if that Zhou Ba at Refining Qi Stage could forge him a decent weapon. As for money—well, money was not an issue.
Returning to his cave dwelling, Xu Feng took out four Cultivation Methods left by Jin Liaoyuan and began reading them. The five Human Level Cultivation Methods from Refining Qi Stage had already fulfilled their purpose and were now useless to Xu Feng; they would just wait until he reached Fairy Market to be sold as scrap paper.
Thousand Miles Kill, Mu Ling Dao, Dragon's Fury, and Earth King Shock were four Intermediate mid-grade Cultivation Methods. Each Cultivation Method consisted of two parts: the first part focused on cultivation practice while the second part discussed combat techniques application. After reaching Foundation Establishment Stage, Cultivation Methods leaned more towards Combat Techniques since training methods were largely similar; ultimately it was Combat Techniques that mattered most in critical moments for survival.
The Foundation Establishment Stage is known for its intense combat capabilities; among various sects it is considered a backbone force where most major battles are primarily fought by Foundation Period Disciples. Golden Core Stage Cultivators typically do not intervene unless it is a matter of utmost importance for their sect.
As for the Refining Qi Stage, it is purely cannon fodder; whether one lives or dies has little impact on the strength of the sect. Xu Feng was fortunate enough to be that cannon fodder once.
Regarding the sect's protection of him, it was entirely because Xu Feng inadvertently escorted a disciple of the New Moon Sect out of the Guiyi Sect's pursuit, which led to a few Foundation Disciples providing him with some care.
Thousand Miles Kill is a Golden Attribute Cultivation Method, capable of striking from a thousand miles away with unmatched sharpness. Mu Ling Dao is Wood Element, Dragon's Fury is Fire Element One Star, and Earth King Shock is Earth Element. All four Cultivation Methods come with corresponding Combat Techniques, and their data is identical. The Cultivation Method has six levels, while the Combat Techniques consist of ten styles.
Opening the cover, the lower left corner of the title page of all four Cultivation Methods is printed with two purple characters: Flat Blade.
From the binding, this should be a set of Five Elements Technique. As for where the Water Element Technique went, Xu Feng could not know. Xu Feng had already become accustomed to cultivating using the method of mutual generation among the five elements; if one element was missing, it would somewhat affect the speed of cultivation for the other four elements.
Fortunately, Xu Feng did not have high requirements for the source of the Cultivation Method; finding another Water Element Technique could serve as a substitute.
"It’s time to go out for a walk." Xu Feng had completed his Wood Element foundation establishment. If he continued practicing the Intermediate Cultivation Method, it would easily lead to a loosening of his cultivation level. Appropriate experience was very necessary for solidifying his strength.
"One who eats soft food must repay their debts; let me help you fulfill this last wish." Xu Feng took out the Jade Box from the chest. The white jade box emitted a gentle light, resembling Cai Shujun in battle and also reminiscent of Qiu Wuling, whom he had never met...
