Chapter 12: Are you in the later stage of the Foundation Building? (3)
“Seventh floor of the foundation!”
After absorbing the 100-year cultivation base, Li Su suddenly found that his cultivation base had reached the level of the seventh floor of the foundation building.
The seventh floor of the foundation building was considered to be the authentic late stage of the foundation building. From the first floor to the tenth floor, every three floors was a small stage, and the tenth floor was the peak.
Not only that but with 100 years of experience in refining weapons, Li Su also had a certain level of skill in refining weapons.
For cultivators, cultivation was the right path. Alchemy and tool refining were also very good auxiliary means.
Pills could make immortal cultivators grow faster, and magic tools could make immortal cultivators stronger in combat.
To a certain extent, a good magic weapon could even challenge the immortal cultivator to a higher level. Of course, cultivation was fundamental. If he didn’t have enough cultivation, the high-level magic weapon wouldn’t work, and if he let the magic weapon absorb all his spiritual energy, the magic weapon won’t even work.
Cultivation was time-consuming and labor-intensive. He might accomplish nothing if he was distracted by alchemy and weapon refining. Therefore, only a small number of immortal cultivators with alchemy and weapon refining talents would choose alchemy and weapon refining.
Naturally, Li Su didn’t waste his energy on learning alchemy and weapon refining before. The system had rewarded 100 years of refining experience, which was not bad. If there was a need in the future, Li Su could also refine weapons by himself.
It’s better to go to the Flying Immortal Sect to improve the reward of spiritual stones every year and then participate in this casual practice gathering, Li Su thought.
In the early stage of foundation establishment, you can receive 100 spirit stones from the Flying Immortal Sect every year, which will be doubled in the middle stage, and then doubled in the later stage.
Thinking of this, Li Su stepped on the flying sword and set off.
After reaching the late stage of foundation establishment, the real essence in his body was extremely strong. The spiritual power flowed continuously, so he would not ride a horse slowly. This time, the speed was very fast. Li Su came to the Flying Immortal Sect in just a few hours.
“Brother Li.”
At the mountain gate, the disciples of the Flying Immortal Sect on duty greeted Li Su.
“Junior Brother Li, it’s been a long time to see you… Hey, your spiritual pressure…”
More than ten years ago, when Li Su had just established the foundation, the middle-stage foundation-establishment disciple he had met saw Li Su greeting him and realized something was wrong.
The spiritual pressure on Li Su’s body was impressively higher than his. The eyes of this mid-stage Foundation Establishment disciple suddenly widened.
More than ten years ago, he was at the fourth level of the foundation building, and more than ten years have passed. With his unremitting efforts, he had only broken through to the fifth level of the foundation building.
The fifth floor of the foundation building was still considered to be in the middle stage of the foundation building.
But he never thought Li Su’s spiritual pressure surpassed him in the past ten years!
Didn’t this mean that Li Su might have reached the sixth floor of the Foundation Establishment?
But how was this possible?
He established the foundation at the age of forty, and Li Su only established the foundation at the age of one hundred. How could it be possible for him to progress so much faster than him?
Therefore, this disciple in the middle stage of the foundation establishment was suddenly stunned.
Other disciples of the Flying Immortal Sect were somewhat puzzled when they saw his appearance.
They didn’t notice any significant difference. As Foundation Establishment cultivators, the spiritual pressure emerging from their bodies was quite intimidating.
Seeing this, Li Su didn’t explain much. He bowed his hands to the disciple in the middle stage of the foundation establishment and entered the Flying Immortal Sect.
“Junior Brother Li, how could he improve so fast!”
Seeing Li Su leave, the mid-stage Foundation Establishment disciple finally came to his senses, took a deep breath, and said.
“What’s wrong, Senior Brother Huang?”
The surrounding Flying Immortal Sect disciples asked curiously.
The disciple in the middle stage of the foundation establishment said, “Brother Li, his cultivation level may surpass mine.”
He changed his words quickly.
In the world of cultivation, strength was everything. Even though he still called Li Su ‘Junior Brother.’ But Li Su’s spiritual energy had surpassed him. Now he was his ‘Senior Brother.’
“What!”
“Why is Senior Brother Li’s entry so powerful? Didn’t he build his foundation at the age of a hundred?”
The surrounding Flying Immortal Sect disciples all felt a little unbelievable.
On the other side, Li Su soon came to the main hall of the Flying Immortal Sect.
This was the Hall of Foreign Affairs, where the disciples of the Flying Immortal Sect received their spiritual stones and some tasks.
Li Su, who had been in the Flying Immortal Sect for so many years, rarely participated in some activities organized by the Flying Immortal Sect.
Since Li Su sent a descendant, he hadn’t come to collect spiritual stones for several years. Now that he had reached the later stage of Foundation Establishment, it was a perfect opportunity to catch up and boost his accumulation of spiritual stones from the previous years.
“Li Su, you haven’t claimed it for eight years. These are your spiritual stones.”
The elders of the Foreign Affairs Hall were squinting their eyes and taking a nap. They handed Li Su a bag of spiritual stones when they saw Li Su coming.
One piece of spiritual stone was not big, and several pieces of spiritual stone overlapped, equivalent to the size of a Mahjong tile. (ED note: A Mahjong tile refers to one of the small rectangular tiles used in the game of Mahjong.)
Li Su saw that it was 800 yuan in total.
He was about to speak when the eyes of the elder of the Foreign Affairs Hall suddenly opened. The turbidity in his eyes disappeared instantly, and he stared at Li Su repeatedly.
The expression in his eyes was rather startled and uncertain.
“Li Su, are you in the late stage of Foundation Establishment?”
The elder of the Foreign Affairs Hall asked with some uncertainty. In his perception, Li Su’s aura was indeed correct in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment.
For other disciples, such as the core disciples of the Flying Immortal Sect who had outstanding aptitude and whose spiritual roots were above the sixth rank, the elders of the Foreign Affairs Hall would not ask more questions.
But this was Li Su.
It was credited to Li Su’s kindness to the Sect Master that he could stay in the Flying Immortal Sect and enjoy a free ride for so long, despite establishing his foundation at the age of a hundred.
The foundation was built only at the age of hundred, and as a result, it took more than ten years to go from the first level of the foundation to the later stage.
This made the elders of the Foreign Affairs Hall dare not believe it.
