As all the Loose Immortals surrounding Old Demon Ren died, the spatial turbulence that the disciples outside saw also disappeared.
From the moment Luo Xiu started to receive the images sent back by the system to the moment Old Demon Ren killed all the Loose Immortals surrounding him, only about ten minutes had passed. When Luo Xiu regained his senses, he couldn't help but be shocked.
After that, Luo Xiu fell into a boring wait. Luo Xiu saw the outer sect elder leading the disciples back from the Great Zhou imperial family's encampment. Looking at the situation and the expressions of the disciples, he knew that the negotiation this time was useless. After all, the Cultivation World depended on whose fist was harder.
After Old Demon Ren returned to the encampment of the Netherworld Devil Sect, Luo Xiu saw someone reporting to him what happened in the Small World. After knowing about the existence of the Dragon Bone Grass, Old Demon Ren had a huge reaction. The most direct reaction was that he very overbearingly kept all the cultivators from the Limitless Dao Sect and the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall. Afterward, he wasn't afraid that others would say that he was bullying the weak and even drove away all the cultivators from the other sects who were still present. There were more than 50,000 cultivators present, including two Combination Realm cultivators and many Nascent Soul and Golden Core Realm cultivators. This showed how overbearing the Netherworld Devil Sect and Old Demon Ren were.
What was different from when they arrived was that the previously crowded spirit boat seemed extremely spacious because half of the people were gone.
All the disciples of the Qiantian Temple boarded the spirit boat. Then, under the control of the outer sect elder, the spirit boat flew rapidly in the direction of the Qiantian Temple. Luo Xiu sat alone in a corner of the spirit boat just like when he arrived and listened to his fellow disciples discussing their gains in the Small World as well as who had died. He also noticed that the disciples who had died were those who were in the same group as before. According to his fellow disciples on the boat, they seemed to be some of the outer sect disciples of the Qiantian Temple with decent cultivation. There were also dozens of disciples who were about to enter the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Everyone's conversation only went on for a while until a somewhat fat disciple said something, causing everyone's discussion to die down.
"I propose that everyone hold a small trade fair on the spirit boat. Everyone has just come out of the Small World. I believe that everyone here has some elixirs and rare ores that they don't need but that others urgently need. I have thirteen stalks of thousand-year-old sunflowers, which are extremely difficult to find among the three herbs needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill. I want to exchange them for spirit stones or top-grade magic tools, preferably defensive magic tools." After the fat man finished speaking, he flipped his hand and took out a jade box.
"I have a top-grade defensive magic tool, the Mysterious Turtle Shield, which was refined from the shell of a thousand-year-old Ice Spirit Turtle. There are twelve layers of restrictions inside. I want to exchange it for five stalks of sunflowers, okay?"
After the fat man finished speaking, a female disciple with a good figure stood up and asked. As she spoke, a small black shield appeared in her hand. It was very delicate.
After the successful exchange between the two, everyone on the spirit boat began to exchange. This time, because the Netherworld Devil Sect, the Limitless Dao Sect, and the Ten Thousand Buddha Palace fought to the death, many disciples of the Qiantian Temple gained a lot. Of course, there were also some disciples who had elixirs that could be used to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill or even cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage. Because there were several Outer Sect Golden Core Elders present, most of them also exchanged them. Luo Xiu also exchanged three stalks of thousand-year-old jasper mushrooms for a stalk of sunflower from the fat man who spoke first. It should be known that he would soon break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage when he returned. At that time, it would be troublesome for him to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill. It should be known that this Outer Sect Competition was originally planned to be a single-elimination tournament, but because of the temporary appearance of the Small World, the sect couldn't reward the refined Foundation Establishment Pill to the top ten outer sect disciples like in previous years.
In this way, while the disciples on the spirit boat were trading with each other, the flying boat quickly flew back to the big square outside the Steward's Hall of the Outer Sect of the Qiantian Temple. After scaring the flying boat, Luo Xiu didn't go to the sect's Contribution Hall like the other cultivators. He couldn't wait to return to his cave and activate the formation in the cave.
Counting the gains was always so exciting and worth looking forward to.
Luo Xiu couldn't wait to take out the several rings hidden in his arms and began to carefully count the gains from his trip to the Small World.
The biggest gain was not the top-grade spirit stones and cultivation methods, but the Star Core in the System Space. It should be known that the Star Core played an important role in such a big gain this time. Although Luo Xiu couldn't use the Star Core now, it was something that could kill eight cultivators of the Unity Stage. How could it be ordinary?
The top-grade spirit artifact, the Flying Feather Sword, the incomplete top-grade spirit artifact, the Heavenly Wind Divine Sword, top-grade spirit stones, high-grade spirit artifacts, various cultivation method jade slips, various spirit herbs, and hundreds of thousands of demon beast corpses.
Luo Xiu's biggest gain from entering the Small World this time wasn't as simple as obtaining so many spirit stones, Dharma treasures, spirit artifacts, and cultivation methods.
When he saw Old Demon Ren kill 13 Itinerant Immortal experts alone, Luo Xiu's mentality changed a lot.
After that, he saw the Qiantian Temple lose more than half of its members because of a stalk of Heavenly Star Grass. Coupled with Old Demon Ren's tyrannical strength, his impression of the Cultivation World became even clearer.
Previously, he also knew that the law of the jungle in the Cultivation World was extremely cruel and that cultivators killed each other for treasures.
However, his previous understanding of this was only on the surface. After all, he hadn't experienced it personally.
These weren't his most important gains. The White Bone Cultivator could be said to be Luo Xiu's most powerful backer in his cultivation, provided that he could successfully become an Itinerant Immortal.
According to the system, as long as the White Bone Cultivator could become an Itinerant Immortal, the system would allow him to accumulate energy in a very short period of time, allowing him to pass the first four tribulations faster.
However, it was still too early. Because of Luo Xiu's own cultivation, although his divine sense had already been formed, it couldn't leave his body. It wasn't a wise choice to let the White Bone Cultivator out at this time.
The next step was to increase his cultivation. If Luo Xiu wanted to protect himself and his family in the upcoming Planar War, he could only do his best to increase his cultivation.
After roughly cleaning up, Luo Xiu began to think about his future path. After the discovery in the small world, Luo Xiu understood how much the system could help him. At the same time, he also understood that his current cultivation was weak. His current biggest task was to cultivate.
"System, now that I've returned to the sect, can I start the energy infusion?" Luo Xiu asked impatiently after he understood what his future path was.
"As long as the host provides the energy source, it can be done at any time. It's just that in the system's database, there are two ways to reach Foundation Establishment. Of course, the mainstream way is to use the Foundation Establishment Pill after reaching the peak of Qi Disciple Stage 12. The other way is to not use the Foundation Establishment Pill and use one's own strong willpower and aptitude to forcefully break through. The use of the Foundation Establishment Pill will affect the host's future cultivation. As for how big the effect will be, because the system doesn't have enough information about cultivation, it is temporarily unable to determine.
In our world, there is a saying that "all medicine is three parts poison". The system does not recommend the host to use the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Of course, even if the host doesn't use the Foundation Establishment Pill, the host can still advance to Foundation Establishment. This is the system's main point.
Foundation Establishment is the first crucial step in the cultivation process. It is also the foundation for the host to cultivate to a higher level. Only with a perfect Foundation Establishment can the host be considered to have stepped on the path of cultivation.
According to the system's simulation results, if the host uses medicine to forcefully reach Foundation Establishment, the host will have an 8% chance of failure when entering Jindan Stage. Of course, when breaking through to Jindan Stage from Foundation Establishment, the host can also use the Foundation Establishment Pill to help increase the success rate of forming Jindan Stage. The Jindan Stage is a very important juncture. It is the same as the fertilization stage in the human reproductive process. Only when the host has a solid foundation from the beginning can he easily advance to a higher level. "
"That is to say, if I want to reach Foundation Establishment, the best way is not to use the Foundation Establishment Pill. But if I do that, won't my chances of advancement be very low? If I fail, will it delay my time?" Luo Xiu asked with some uncertainty after listening to the system's explanation.
"Of course, even if the host uses the Foundation Establishment Pill, the system can't guarantee that the host will succeed in reaching Foundation Establishment. You should know that in the records of your cultivation world, there are still cases where the host can't reach Foundation Establishment after using the Foundation Establishment Pill. Of course, the host's body has been transformed by the system, and the host has already cultivated the first layer of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art. During the process of Foundation Establishment, the energy contained in the Foundation Establishment Pill can be completely replaced by the system's energy."
"Well, when my cultivation reaches the twelfth level of Qi Refining, should I stop, or should I raise my cultivation to Foundation Establishment in one breath?"
Luo Xiu wanted to ask clearly. After all, he was just a handyman disciple before, and knew nothing about cultivation.
"The host needs to understand one thing. According to the system's understanding, Foundation Establishment is to compress the energy in the cultivator's body from a gaseous state into a liquid state, so that the cultivator can store more energy in the human body under the condition that the cultivator's Dantian is fixed.
As for the problem of energy compression, the Earth Federation has already solved it when they first entered the space age. Although there are differences between cultivation and energy compression, according to the system's calculation, the host's chance of success is more than 30%. Whether you want to rely on medicine to reach Foundation Establishment depends on the host's choice. "The system clearly explained the real principle of Foundation Establishment to Luo Xiu.
"Then I'll directly reach Foundation Establishment, but how many spirit stones do I need this time? I have 300,000 upper grade spirit stones, plus more than 50,000 best grade spirit stones, I don't know if it's enough?"
"The host doesn't need to worry. Because of the existence of the Star Nucleus, the energy used by the system has been purified twice. The Star Nucleus itself has the ability to purify and compress energy. This time, the host will need about half of the spirit stones. The most important thing for the host is to immediately find a cultivation method that can be practiced to the Gold Core stage. After all, the system can't set a cultivation method for the host."
So Luo Xiu immediately went out to the Contribution Hall, because good cultivation methods required sect contribution points.
