「Six months later, in a cultivator's abode in Jingyang Market.」
Lü Zhong sat motionless and cross-legged on a cushion, a small, empty porcelain bottle resting before him.
Just a moment ago, he had taken his second Foundation Establishment Pill.
The Foundation Establishment Pill contained a massive amount of Pure Spiritual Energy and had a potent catalytic effect. The moment he took it, the pill flared to life like a raging furnace. While releasing a sea of Spiritual Qi, it also began to transform the star-like vortex of the Qi Sea within his Dantian.
The strands of gaseous Spiritual Power that formed the vortex began rapidly collapsing toward the center. He hurriedly circulated the Gathering Element Technique, and the speed of the collapse immediately increased.
Throughout this process, Lü Zhong felt a familiar, bone-deep agony.
After all, the process of Foundation Establishment was a complete rebirth, a process of Washing Marrow and Changing Scripture.
