Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

Naturally, the only thing in view was the silhouette of Qin Yu’s upright upper body.

However, upon seeing a man’s body for the first time, Su Xihe’s heart stirred slightly, her cheeks unconsciously blushing with a touch of crimson.

Was it her illusion? The air in the Alchemy Room seemed heavier than usual, a hard-to-describe warmth quietly climbed onto her cheeks.

But at this moment, Qin Yu was at a critical breakthrough point. As his master, Su Xihe could not ignore it.

The leap of a great Realm is not child’s play; every breakthrough often accompanies certain risks.

Originally, she thought Qin Yu still needed some time to settle before attempting the Foundation Establishment, but she hadn’t had time to teach him the numerous details and precautions.

At this moment, she must focus entirely to ensure Qin Yu could pass safely.

After adding the Spirit Medicine, Su Xihe set up several Spirit Gathering Arrays. After completing all this, she waited nearby.

No choice.

During the breakthrough, she couldn’t interrupt; any disruption would render all efforts in vain.

...

Cultivating, Qin Yu seemed to sense something, not daring any distraction, fully absorbed in absorbing and refining the Spiritual Qi surging into his body.

Under such circumstances, in only a moment, he felt his Dantian, Meridians, and even his whole body filled to the brim with Spiritual Qi, as if every strand was swelling to burst, bearing a somewhat indescribable feeling of fullness.

As the endless Spiritual Qi poured in like tidal waves, this overflowing sensation became increasingly intense, almost filling his entire body.

Due to the rapid Realm improvement, Qin Yu had never touched the pathways of Foundation Establishment, entirely unfamiliar with this upheaval.

However, despite the intense bloating feeling, it remained within his tolerance and endurance range; thus, he did not hesitate, continuing the refining of Spiritual Qi.

Under this invisible pressure, within the Dantian, a transformation quietly occurred...

Initially, it was merely a faintly detectable ’point’, in this extreme fullness and indescribable surge, quietly emerging.

Subsequently, with it as the core, slowly drawing the surrounding Spiritual Qi, forming a small Qi Vortex within the Dantian.

As the Spiritual Qi in the Meridians continued flowing in, the Qi Vortex seemed nurtured, growing ever more vigorous.

In merely moments, the Meridians, once appearing inflated due to fullness, seemed emptied by this suction; an emptiness feeling suddenly emerged. Qin Yu had to immediately mobilize all his power, wholeheartedly absorbing and refining the surrounding Spiritual Qi to fill this sudden void.

Fortunately, the Sect Leader had added substantial Spirit Medicine and arranged Spirit Gathering Arrays; the Spiritual Qi was definitely sufficient.

There wouldn’t be a situation like Su Xiyue’s Golden Core breakthrough.

Time passed little by little, Su Xihe kept watching from beside, eyes fixed on Qin Yu.

She could distinctly feel Qin Yu’s fluctuations gradually intensifying, with the affected area slowly expanding.

Could it actually break through?!

With the passage of time, this feeling grew stronger.

Su Xihe’s heart began losing its calm.

Three hours later.

Qin Yu’s Dantian was entirely covered by the Qi Vortex, magnificent, the aura around him surging to a peak, like the oppressive grandeur before a mountain rainstorm.

Then, without any sign...

"Drip."

He seemed to hear the sound of water, a drop of crystal-clear Water Pearl, born beneath the Qi Vortex.

Simultaneously, his Qi Mechanism abruptly surged.

"Buzz—!"

An invisible fluctuation expanded around him, forming visible ripples, the air seeming to gently shake at this moment, emitting a low and prolonged echo.

"Bang!"

The first to bear the brunt was Qin Yu’s bathtub.

Though not made of ordinary wood, under the Foundation Establishment Realm fluctuation impact, it was still unable to resist, instantly turning into wood chips, scattering in the air.

"Did he really breakthrough?!"

Su Xihe was dumbfounded watching the scene, her mouth slightly open, unable to close.

Such a meaning, unmistaken!

It truly is Foundation Establishment.

What kind of a monster is her disciple, after all?

In Spiritual Power, Alchemy, his talent is already intimidating enough, and now, even in cultivation, he’s different from others.

Who can so casually break through major Realms?!

Moreover, this breakthrough is too fast, having not made full preparations, yet only took a little over three hours.

Does this imply Qin Yu encountered not an ounce of trouble throughout the entire breakthrough process?

This seems too easy as if no bottleneck existed, everything was so straightforward, without the slightest hindrance.

Moreover, Qin Yu’s mindset was calm as water, devoid of the usual tension and panic of a first-time Realm breaker.

It was as if knowing he would surely break through, with not a hint of apprehension, exuding composure and confidence, without the slightest chaos.

Yet the next moment, the Sect Leader’s eyes widened further.

Hiss!...

As if witnessing the world’s most frightening sight, her pupils involuntarily contracted, revealing a hint of an undisguisable...fear.

All this is unrelated to anything else, only because the scene before her was too unexpected—

The bathtub had already turned to powder.

And Qin Yu, thus displayed entirely unguarded in her view.

Even though she quickly turned her gaze, trying to avoid this sudden shock, the lingering fear deep within her eyes like a burning mark wouldn’t fade for a long time.

Truly terrifying!

Now, the Sect Leader probably understood why her sister had a hoarse throat, revealing fatigue each morning when emerging from Qin Yu’s residence.

This...

She endured it for half a night?!

Just thinking about it made Su Xihe filled with a layer of faint goosebumps.

Qin Yu still immersed in the essence of breakthrough, unmoved, seated steady as a rock.

Since the first drop like morning dew "Water Pearl" was born, followed then by the second, the third...

Gradually, accumulating piece by piece.

Simultaneously, the Qi Mechanism on Qin Yu’s body became completely different.

Qin Yu could sense that every drop of those crystal-clear "Water Pearls" contained extremely astonishing Spiritual Power.

In an instant, a flash of realization lighted within his mind.

The Spiritual Power within him had indeed undergone the same ’qualitative’ change as the previous Spiritual Power breakthrough.

From gaseous state to liquid state.

Not knowing how much time had passed, when he felt the situation inside him had completely stabilized, he slowly opened his eyes.

In sight, he saw his master turned aside, not looking at him.

The next moment, he felt a chill on his body, lowered his head to look...

Ah, now I get it!

He dared not fool around, dared not show off before his master, quickly took out a set of clothes from the Storage Ring to put on. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Master!"
