"I'll go first. If there's any danger, I can inform you in advance."

"Moo!"

"This time, listen to me. We don't have a master, so we'll have to navigate blindly."

"Moo~"

The big black ox raised its head, licked Chen Xun, and quickly moved away, observing his serious expression and unquestioning words.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Chen Xun remained calm, raised his hand slightly, and swallowed a Foundation Establishment Pill. The potent medicinal power suddenly spread throughout his body, causing Chen Xun to widen his eyes and produce a muffled groan.

The big black ox, full of tension, was about to take a step, but it stayed in place, making no sound. It was crucial not to disturb Chen Xun during his breakthrough.

At this moment, Chen Xun's pores opened wide, and his body emitted a faint glow. Countless impurities were expelled from his body, and his facial expression alternated between pain and relief. Gradually, he closed his eyes.

Inside his body, the formidable barrier in his dantian/pubic region (an acupuncture pressure point located three inches below the navel) was continuously melting, and a significant transformation was taking place. Waves of medicinal power surged through his body.

After a day and a night, Chen Xun was drenched in sweat, and his chest heaved. He stared at the big black ox in astonishment.

"Moo! Moo!" The big black ox continued to bellow, bewildered by the unusual state of Chen Xun's breakthrough.

"Old Ox, I'm fine. You know that the Foundation Establishment process involves liquefying the dantian, and the Mind Palace is formed afterward as the sign of a successful Foundation Establishment." Chen Xun explained in amazement, seeming to be shocked by something. "I didn't fail in my Foundation Establishment, but it didn't go completely as expected."

"Moo, moo?" The big black ox was still nervous, not caring about that. It was only concerned about Chen Xun's current condition.

"This Foundation Establishment Pill unexpectedly widened my dantian..." Chen Xun took a deep breath and continued, "In simpler terms, while others have a storage capacity of 1 for their spiritual power in their dantian, mine is 2..."

"Moo!"

The big black ox was full of astonishment. However, the common knowledge in the cultivation world was that the dantian could not be expanded, and the effectiveness of one's cultivation method was merely based on how well it suited their constitution. For instance, if someone had a water affinity spiritual root and practiced a water-based cultivation method, it would be highly effective for them. If they practiced a fire-based method, it would be less effective.

They all cultivated widely recognized techniques, and with their mixed elemental spiritual roots, they could practice any of them. The difference in their abilities came with the advancement of their cultivation realms.

However, their mixed elemental spiritual roots absorbed impure natural energy, which needed to be purified over time. The pure elemental spiritual roots had an advantage in that they directly absorbed compatible spiritual energy, saving time on purifying impurities.

Of course, these were just their current understandings, mostly based on hearsay.

"Old Ox, prepare the medicinal herbs." Chen Xun's gaze became focused. These five Foundation Establishment Pills were far from enough; after all, the big black ox also needed to undergo Foundation Establishment.

"Moo~" The big black ox hurriedly went to the back, not daring to waste any time.

In the first month, Chen Xun refined spiritual herbs while building the foundation. His body emitted an increasing number of impurities.

At night, the starry sky was filled with countless twinkling stars, creating a brilliant spectacle. Under the night sky, Chen Xun sang a song while grilling meat on a rack. A campfire rose, and the big black ox ran around, producing the sound of jingling bells as they harmonized.

"Wandering on the road...

Chen Xun nodded along as he sang, the skewer sizzling in his hand and a smile in his eyes as he watched the big black ox.

His voice grew louder and almost turned into a shout: "We've crossed mountains and seas, as well as crowds of people!"

"Moo~~!!"

...

"Crying and laughing, leading an ordinary life..."

"Moo!!"

...

"Hahaha."

"Moo, moo~~"

Chen Xun and the big black ox burst into laughter, and the campfire continuously flickered with a warm glow, casting light on their happy faces.

Late at night, everything was silent. Chen Xun and the big black ox sat side by side, gazing at the starry sky.

After careful consideration, they decided to allocate their longevity points to their spiritual energy. As of now, it was the area where they could gain the most strength. It also gave them the opportunity to observe the threshold of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Their current longevity points: Strength 21, Speed 21, Essence of All Things 20, Spiritual Energy 21, Defense 11.

...

The next day, as the sun rose, a few rays of sunlight shone down with a sense of coolness and gentleness.

Chen Xun repeatedly used the Dust-Removal Technique on himself and the big black ox. With a smile, he stood outside the Medicine Valley and began to walk down the path.

According to the rules of the Five Elements Sect, when a cultivator broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, they were required to register with the hall they belonged to. As they belonged to the Pill Refining Hall, they naturally needed to register there.

However, the big black ox had hidden its Foundation Establishment cultivation, and on the surface, it appeared to be at the seventh level of Qi Refinement. Nevertheless, spiritual beasts generally had longer lifespans than cultivators of the same realm, and no one knew the big black ox's true age.

The Pill Refining Hall was located on a cloud-veiled main peak. The lush mountains here were adorned with elegant ancient-style buildings, and the air was filled with the fragrance of elixirs, cleansing the exhausted hearts of countless disciples.

Chen Xun and the big black ox strolled at a leisurely pace, enjoying the picturesque scenery along the way. They hadn't explored the many main peaks of the Five Elements Sect much.
