Chapter 12: Building Foundation (1/2)
“I can’t eat anymore.” Lin Yuhan quietly said.
Cheng Yu looked at the half-eaten plate of food and said, “Why’d you eat like this?” Lin Yuhan gave a look of being wronged, “I finished eating this drumstick.”
Lin Yuhan picked up a small drumstick as she nibbled and looked at Cheng Yu, as if she was being wronged, “Finished, let me off.” He then began to eat mouthfuls, as he then started to eat what she leftover, even the drumstick. Seeing this, she blushed.
Wiping his mouth, he turned to her and said, “From now on, you are to eat like this everyday. You are not allowed to say no. If I come back to see that you are eating Chinese radish and cabbage again, you will know the consequences. Fatty will be watching over you, I will give him money to hand to the chef.” He took out two thousand and tossed it over to Fatty, as he left the dining hall.
Looking at Cheng Yu’s back, Lin Yuhan’s face was filled with complex colors, as she walked back to the classroom.
In the afternoon, Cheng Yu finished reading the rest of his book then went to sleep. Then, when school was out, he gave Lin Yuhan the pill and then went home with his cousin.
After he hastily finished dinner, he seriously told his family to not enter his room. Even if he didn’t go to school tomorrow, they cannot bother him until he came out.
Looking at Cheng Yu’s serious look, they knew that it actually happened. After Cheng Yu healed from the last accident, his temperament and character both changed, and he also became mysterious. For example, his magic-like medicine pills. For example, the Longevity Pills he gave everyone so they could prolong life and let people never become ill. In their minds, it was a miracle. However, they all knew that Cheng Yu wouldn’t tell them the truth, so they acquiesced to his mystery and didn’t ask anything else. It would be all ok since it was a good thing for everyone, and this point was the most important!
Cheng Yu sat down in his room and took out a vial of pills, as he took out a Foundation Building Pill.
What was the “building foundation”? As its name suggests, it was “build a solid base”, just like a building needed a solid foundation. To be frank, to “build foundation”, one needed to “get through all the body’s meridians”. What should they use to get through their meridians? Of course, by using their true qi from their pubic regions. During this time, Cheng Yu had filled enough true qi in his pubic region by eating the Qi Gathering Pill. Now, he was planning to get through all his body meridians at once, because to get through all the body meridians at once, would have the best effect. However, in his body, his true qi wasn’t enough to support it, so he needed a Foundation Building Pill to boost up the speed of getting through his meridians. Lowering the level of difficulty and increasing the success rate.
Cheng Yu swallowed the Foundation Building Pill. True qi began to attack his body, but his meridians were heavily clogged. Luckily, Cheng Yu was an immortal, so he was able to use his spirit sense to help guide the true qi through a part of his body. This allowed his physique to slowly transform. Due to that, the impact on his meridians was a lot lessened than before.
Two hours later, he opened up his Governing Vessel, as he then continued to attack his Conception Vessel. At 11 PM, he was successful, as his mind and upper body became free and refreshed.
The Governing Vessel was in the middle of human body’s back, flowing in the spine. Its lower part was linked with the pubic region, and its upper part linked with the brain. The Conception Vessel was in the middle of the belly, flowing to the chest. Its lower part was linked to the pubic region, and its upper part linked to the mud ball.
So, getting through the Governing Vessel and the Conception Vessel, making true qi flow from the pubic region to the backfin and then flow up to the mud ball, passing through the Governing Vessel to the fore beast, going down to the pubic region, and then finally forming a circle. This was the microcosmic circulation.
However, Cheng Yu didn’t stop. He kept impacting the Thoroughfare Vessel, the Belt Vessel, the Yin Heel Vessel, the Yang Heel Vessel, the Yin Link Vessel, and the Yang Link Vessel. Till the second day at 12 AM, he finally got through all his meridians. Now, he had finished the “building base” stage. Then, he swallowed two Spirit Restoration Qi Pills, turning his spirit qi into true qi, which flowed in a circle in his body.
Cheng Yu stood up to feel that his body was now truly filled with qi, he was very satisfied. He had now truly entered into the world of immortals again.
A cultivator’s realm in the Immortal World was divided into the—Body Refining Stage, Qi Condensation Stage, Foundation Establishment Stage, Gold Core Stage, Primordial Nascent Soul Stage, Spirit Severing Stage, Unification Stage, Crossing Tribulation Stage, and finally ascended to the Immortal World and achieving the immortal position.
The reason why Cheng Yu was able to build a foundation was because he retained his immortal soul, though his body was that of a mortal’s. In general, he wasn’t an ordinary person. With his immortal soul, his body had unlimited amounts of nourishment. So, slowly over time, his mortal body would change as well. Just as Cheng Yu had been constantly tempering it.
