Chapter 142 - Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Striking at Foundation Establishment (2/2)
As soon as he stepped into the Alchemy Room, Lin Jing felt that his Divine Sense had grown much stronger and become more substantial, and even the slight tipsiness from the alcohol vanished.
With the strengthening effect of the Alchemy Room on his Divine Sense, his breakthrough would be a little easier.
Upon entering the Alchemy Room, Lin Jing didn’t rush to make his breakthrough but chose to sit cross-legged first, restoring his condition.
This meditation took Lin Jing a full hour.
An hour later, Lin Jing opened his eyes, feeling that his condition had completely recovered.
Next…
He reached into his Storage Bag and pulled out five Pure Jade Boxes, which contained the Foundation Building Elixirs he had prepared.
Then, Lin Jing opened one of the Pure Jade Boxes, and instantly a fragrance filled the Alchemy Room.
Lin Jing picked up the Foundation Building Elixir inside and placed it directly into his mouth.
No sooner had the Elixir entered his mouth than it turned into a warm stream, flowing into his stomach, and then…
With a “boom”…
The vast Spiritual Power contained within the Elixir exploded within Lin Jing’s body.
Lin Jing hurriedly collected his thoughts, fully operating the Immortal Dao Five Elements Art to dissipate that huge amount of Spiritual Power.
One quarter of an hour…
Two quarters of an hour…
Time slowly passed…
Fine beads of sweat started to form on Lin Jing’s forehead.
Clearly, Lin Jing’s breakthrough was not an easy task.
After all, he had a Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root, which made his breakthrough several times more difficult than others.
Especially at the critical juncture of advancing to the next realm, it was particularly tough.
If he didn’t have so many pure Foundation Building Elixirs, he might have needed decades, even a hundred years of accumulation, to have a slim chance of breakthrough.
Just like the Zhang Family Patriarch, other Golden Core Immortals were generally in their two or three hundreds of age.
Yet, he was already over five hundred years old, nearing his life’s limit, and still only at the mid Golden Core stage.
And this was with relatively good resources and luck.
The difficulty of a Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root breaking through is evident.
Before long, more than two hours had passed, and Lin Jing felt he still hadn’t reached the threshold for a breakthrough.
He then opened his eyes once more.
He opened the two Pure Jade Boxes he had set aside…
This time, he directly consumed two pure Foundation Building Elixirs.
As the liquid flowed down his throat into his lower abdomen, the mighty Spiritual Power erupted once again; this time, the explosion was even more intense, and Lin Jing felt like he was almost burst by that instantaneous force.
After the explosion of Spiritual Power, Lin Jing closed his eyes and continued to refine the liquid with all his heart and effort.
Time went by slowly…
Lin Jing, fully committed to his breakthrough, finally felt the bottleneck, like a towering mountain lying before him.
At this moment, there was still a lot of Spiritual Power generated from the two pure Foundation Building Elixirs he had refined, but Lin Jing didn’t rush to challenge the bottleneck of the new realm. Instead, he continued refining…
Another hour passed, the medicinal power was completely refined, and Lin Jing operated the Immortal Dao Five Elements Art, gathering all the Spiritual Power in his body to strike at that bottleneck.
Once, without any movement…
Twice, there was some reaction…
Thrice, the bottleneck finally showed signs of loosening.
And this, was already Lin Jing’s limit, it was evident…
The Spiritual Power wasn’t enough…
This was the difficulty of breaking through with a Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root; even three pure Foundation Building Elixirs hadn’t achieved a successful breakthrough.
He couldn’t help but admire the Zhang Family Patriarch, wondering how he had managed to break through in the past.
That process must have been incredibly arduous as well….
