My dreams can simulate the future.

Chapter 124 Dao Jicheng

At this moment, Jiang Chen had already fainted.

Although the meridians were not directly ruptured, they were still seriously injured by the impact of a large amount of magical power.

In reality, if one fails to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, even with the protection of Foundation Establishment Pills, it takes three to five years of recuperation before one can attempt to break through again.

The pain was unbearable, so he immediately left the dream.

-----------------

Back in the real world, Jiang Chen was still shaken.

"This breakthrough in entering the dream has made me realize my own shortcomings."

The speed at which mana is refined cannot keep up with the consumption. Even the energy in the Foundation Establishment Pill cannot make up for the shortfall, and a large amount of blood and qi is needed to fill it.

However, my qi and blood aren't particularly strong. They're decent among independent cultivators, but not enough to support Foundation Establishment.

"If I achieve a breakthrough in reality, my Great Dream Thousand Autumns Technique can transfer the results of my cultivation during dream simulations of the future into reality."

If I choose the right time, I can increase the speed of refining mana to three times the normal rate when breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, which should make up for a significant portion of the mana shortage.

"The most troublesome thing right now is the power of qi and blood. When magic power is condensed into true essence, it needs to incorporate some qi and blood."

If the magic power is insufficient, more vital energy and blood are needed to fill the gaps.

The later stage of solidifying the Dao foundation will require a significant amount of vital energy and blood.

"If one's Qi and blood are insufficient, they can only be replenished through elixirs or body-refining techniques."

"I have the body-refining techniques readily available. As for medicinal herbs to enhance qi and blood, both Black Stone Mountain Market and Changyuan Mountain have them all."

Putting everything else aside, there's plenty of monster essence here.

"I'm still the manager of the Baiyi Sidan Pharmacy. Getting some of the monster blood from our inventory to refine pills is a piece of cake, isn't it?"

The essence blood of demonic beasts has a wide range of uses. It can be used to refine "essence blood pills" that enhance qi and blood and physical strength. It is also needed in many pills for treating external injuries.

The pill that Jiang Chen wanted to refine was the Essence Blood Pill.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen immediately went to the warehouse of the Hundred Arts Room and used the token of the manager of the Pill Hall to retrieve a batch of Essence Blood Pill ingredients.

The Essence Blood Pill is a high-grade first-class pill. With Jiang Chen's current alchemy skills, producing seven or eight pills in one batch is a piece of cake, and some of them may even be of exceptional quality.

-----------------

A year has passed, and Jiang Chen is thirty-nine years old.

After a year of physical training, he was no longer the thin man he once was, but instead had a strong and muscular appearance.

At this moment, he felt the immense power within him, and his face was full of confidence.

"Over the past year, I've consumed large quantities of Essence and Blood Pills and diligently practiced body-refining techniques, resulting in my total Qi and Blood volume more than doubling."

"When I entered my dream to simulate the future, I tried to build my foundation dozens of times, but unfortunately I failed every time."

In my recent dreams, I successfully condensed liquid true essence during my foundation-building practices.

The final step in foundation building is to integrate true essence and true meaning. Only when the two are integrated into one can one truly establish the foundation of the Dao.

Unfortunately, each time, the fusion of true essence and true intent failed due to insufficient qi and blood.

"Recently, my blood and energy have improved significantly, so I should be able to succeed."

Upon realizing this, he immediately fell asleep.

-----------------

[First day of entering the dream]

Instead of refining the Foundation Establishment Pill himself, Jiang Chen took out a communication jade talisman and informed Iron Sword Master about his plan to establish his foundation.

"With my current cultivation level, the best I can do to refine Foundation Establishment Pills is to produce high-quality pills."

But Master has a large quantity of Foundation Establishment Pills, all personally refined by True Person Qingyan.

"With Master Qingyan's mastery of alchemy, each batch can produce at least two or three high-quality Foundation Establishment Pills."

Taking premium Foundation Establishment Pills can increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment by at least 30%.

"Back when I was in Yunze Blessed Land, I secretly hid the Foundation Establishment Pills, just to be on the safe side."

"It's not a big deal if I can't use the Foundation Establishment Pill from my sect as a backup plan."

[The second day of the dream]

Early that morning, Jiang Chen woke up from his sleep and heard shouts coming from outside the door.

"Junior Brother Jiang, I've arrived."

It was Li Wusheng's voice, and Jiang Chen immediately welcomed him in.

Li Wusheng had already successfully established his foundation a few months after Jiang Chen arrived at Changyuan Mountain.

Two years ago, he even killed a veteran mid-Foundation stage expert of the Ghost Soul Sect with his early Foundation Establishment cultivation, without suffering any injury himself.

Today, he is one of the most outstanding young cultivators in the Golden Cauldron Sect.

The two entered the training room in the backyard, and Li Wusheng immediately cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Junior Brother, you are about to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm."

After saying that, he took out three white jade pill bottles.

"My master instructed me to bring three high-quality Foundation Establishment Pills, and he also told me to tell you not to feel any burden."

He also prepared many elixirs to repair meridians and replenish one's essence.

You're not even forty yet, so even if you fail, it's not a big deal.

With the help of numerous elixirs, a full recovery can be achieved in a year or two, after which further attempts can be made.

You have 21 years until you reach the age of 60 when your energy and blood begin to decline; you have 21 more chances.

Jiang Chen still trusted his master's character.

He promised to do everything he could to help me build my foundation, and he will never break his promise.

Jiang Chen accepted the three pill bottles and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, Senior Brother."

Li Wusheng waved his hand: "Originally, Master planned to let you form your core in Yunze Blessed Land."

However, recently a group of rogue cultivators of unknown origin have been loitering near Yunze Blessed Land.

The area may become unstable for some time to come.

On the contrary, the situation here at Changyuan Mountain is stable, so you can establish your foundation here.

"You don't need to worry. Master has already informed Uncle-Master Yushan that he will come to help if there are any unusual circumstances."

Moreover, I will stay here to protect you.

Jiang Chen naturally had no objection: "Thank you for your trouble, Senior Brother."

……

[Day 16 of the Dream]

Jiang Chen adjusted himself to his best condition, then took a high-quality Foundation Establishment Pill and officially began his breakthrough.

With dozens of simulations over the past year, and the added benefit of high-quality Foundation Building Pills, everything went extremely smoothly this time.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the nine stable magical powers within the Jade Cauldron Pure Yuan Spirit Seed collapsed and transformed into free magical powers.

Then, under the control of divine sense and blood energy, the magical power was compressed together.

Guided by the effects of the Foundation Building Pill and under Jiang Chen's efforts to suppress it, some of his magical power fused with a small amount of blood and spiritual power, transforming into liquid true essence.

By evening, all the magical power had been transformed into liquid true essence.

Subsequently, Jiang Chen activated Mengdie's true meaning, causing her to enter the jade cauldron.

The current Dream Butterfly True Meaning is surrounded by a dark blue light, which encloses a space about ten feet in diameter.

This space was filled with eerie blue light spots.

After several dream simulations, Jiang Chen was able to confirm that this space could suppress the soul and probe the soul's memories.

As the true meaning entered the cauldron, Jiang Chen immediately manipulated his true essence to envelop it.

The grayish-white true essence and the dark blue true meaning intertwined and slowly merged.

[Day 17 of the Dream]

The process of merging true essence and true meaning has lasted for a full night.

All the true essence has merged with the true meaning, becoming one with it.

Jiang Chen slowly withdrew his divine sense and blood energy, no longer suppressing them. His true essence and true intent showed no signs of separation.

He was overjoyed: "True essence and true meaning have completely merged; the foundation for my Dao is complete!"
