Chapter 77: Chance Encounter
Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators
Dream-Making Expert
An ordinary Foundation Establishment Pill was refined using Gold Jade as its base, tempered with lead and mercury, and blended with Five Elements Powder.
When an ordinary Qi Refinement Realm cultivator attempted to break through to Foundation Establishment, they would melt the Foundation Establishment Pill with their Immortal Talisman, thereby allowing the true qi to condense the Immortal Talisman from illusion into reality.
Once the originally illusory Immortal Talisman had a physical Foundation Establishment, the true qi could then transform into spiritual power.
But Lin Qi had condensed the embryonic forms of five Innate Divine Forbidden Arts. Their majestic might, within his inner vision, already made the Immortal Talisman seem dim and about to collapse.
If he could not specially strengthen the Immortal Talisman at Foundation Establishment, then before Lin Qi could transform the embryonic forms of his five Innate Divine Forbidden Arts into true Innate Divine Forbidden Arts, the Immortal Talisman within his body would shatter, his spiritual power would run wild, and he would suffer qi deviation.
“You’re right. An ordinary Foundation Establishment Pill is indeed unworthy of establishing the foundation for my Immortal Talisman.”
“I must refine a better Foundation Establishment Pill.”
Lin Qi looked at Gushe, humbly seeking guidance. “Please, Fellow Daoist, teach me the formula for a better Foundation Establishment Pill.”
“Good that you know.”
Gushe haughtily raised her chin. “You’re just lucky you met me. Otherwise, fumbling around on your own, you’d need at least another thirty years to successfully establish your foundation.”
“But the formula doesn’t need changing. Your Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm’s Foundation Establishment Pill formula is already perfect.”
“You only need to change the main ingredients to ones of better quality.”
“For example, ordinary Gold Jade can be replaced with Star Essence Gold or Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade.”
“Let’s go. The labyrinth should have all the various materials you need to refine a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.”
Gushe clasped her hands behind her back, signaling Lin Qi to follow.
The two flew one after the other toward the places in the Cold Jade Labyrinth where Gushe remembered heaven-and-earth treasures were hidden.
……
Half a year later.
Lin Qi and Gushe arrived at a deeper region on the outskirts of the Cold Jade Labyrinth, at a place called the First Labyrinth Region.
Here, the dangerous yet alluring light screens of Restriction grew ever more intricate, layer upon layer, stretching beyond sight.
“Further ahead is the true Cold Jade Palace.”
Gushe gazed at the Restriction light screen blocking the way, straining her eyes into the distance, trying to see the true Cold Jade Palace through the screen.
“How did you originally plan to get in?”
Lin Qi looked at the layers of Restriction light screens before him, like a deep sea, and felt a sudden curiosity.
“Simple.”
“After Big Brother and the others achieve Foundation Establishment, I’ll first ask them to refine a few Restriction-Breaking Dharma Treasures.”
“Then we’ll come to the Cold Jade Labyrinth together and enter through the few places I know where the Restriction is weak.”
Gushe answered without hesitation. “But now it’s fine. Once you achieve Foundation Establishment, you should be able to bring me in using the Five-Color Divine Light.”
