Chapter 126: Opportunity and Obsession
After checking out a few places of interest, I returned the jade slip to my grandfather reluctantly. I will wait for my grandfather to make a copy for me, and then I will slowly check it out!

Chatting and drinking tea with grandpa, the pot of tea was soon finished. After saying something to grandpa, Lin Changqing returned to his room.

Now Lin Changqing's cultivation has reached the peak of the seventh level of Qi Refining. He is considering whether to take a hundred-year-old red fruit, or some Hundred Flowers Soul-Intoxicating Wine. After advancing to the eighth level of Qi Refining, he will switch to practicing the Five Elements Chaos Sutra.

In this way, there will be more spiritual energy in the Dantian, and the remaining cultivation after changing to the next level will be higher. Moreover, after breaking through to the eighth level of Qi Refining, it is estimated that the spiritual awareness will also increase a little bit.

Suddenly, an idea came to him. Maybe he could try to attack directly without using the red fruit or spiritual wine. There would be no loss anyway.

In fact, Lin Changqing had already reached his current level of cultivation before the beast tide began. He experienced the baptism of the beast tide, accepted the mission given by his great-grandmother, and traveled through the Zi Yang Secret Realm.

I have accumulated enough experience and should have made a breakthrough long ago, but I have always wanted to switch to practicing the Five Elements Chaos Sutra, which has delayed it until now.

Get into the right posture, sit cross-legged with five hearts facing upward, eyes on nose, nose on heart, after entering into concentration, start moving the meridians, practice the Five Elements Return to Origin Sutra. After a few cycles, make sure that the spiritual energy in the Dantian is full.

Then he began to guide the spiritual energy in Dantian to impact the acupuncture points in the meridians. There was only one acupuncture point left. He would also try to impact it during his usual practice, but without success.

He had a very strong feeling that he would not fail this time.

So Lin Changqing gritted his teeth and didn't want to wait any longer. He just followed his feelings. He combined his spirit, will, and mind into one, and at one go, he tried his best to guide the spiritual energy to rush to that acupuncture point.

A strong stinging pain came, and then a loud "bang" was heard in the mind, and then the surrounding spiritual energy quickly rushed towards Lin Changqing's body.

Waves of comfortable feeling came over him. Having experienced many breakthroughs before, Lin Changqing was not too excited now. Taking this opportunity of breakthrough, Lin Changqing was carefully feeling the changes inside and outside his body.

The body of a cultivator is a huge treasure. Lin Changqing hopes to know more about his own body. However, the extremely clear feeling after the breakthrough quickly disappeared and could never be captured again!
At the same time, a layer of grayish-white dirt was discharged from the surface of the body, and the aura also increased significantly.

Now that that feeling has disappeared, I should concentrate on consolidating the realm I just broke through!
Looking at the tenth meridian that was completely opened, it continued to circulate throughout the body, and the spiritual energy finally flowed into the dantian, and this cycle continued many times.

This consolidation took several hours, and when Lin Changqing opened his eyes again, it was already early morning of the next day.

Fortunately, the spiritual energy in Dantian has been gradually enriched, and the cultivation level of the eighth level of Qi training has gradually stabilized.

After checking his spiritual sense, he found that it was just as he expected. The detection range had increased by another ten feet. It was now around ninety feet, or about 270 meters.

The Dantian has also expanded accordingly. According to a rough estimate, it should have about 50% more spiritual energy than the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Looking inward at his Dantian and the ten completely opened meridians, Lin Changqing felt quite a sense of accomplishment.

And now that my cultivation level has reached a higher level, my safety will definitely be more guaranteed during this trip to Tongshan Village in Jinzhou Prefecture.

There are twelve meridians in the human body, from the first to the sixth level of Qi Refining. Every time you open up one of them you can break through a level of cultivation.

However, starting from the seventh level of Qi Refining to the ninth level, two meridians must be opened at each level, and by the ninth level, all twelve meridians must be opened.

Then he began to polish the spiritual energy in his Dantian, preparing for the next stage of breaking through the foundation-building period.

Feeling very happy, after cleaning the dirt off his body and changing his clothes, Lin Changqing came to the cave hall. His grandfather was already waiting for him there.

Lin Changqing hurried forward to greet him, and told him the news that he had successfully broken through the eighth level of Qi Refining yesterday.

After hearing Lin Changqing's good news, Grandpa laughed heartily, and then said to Lin Changqing: "I felt the fluctuation of spiritual energy coming from your room last night, and I estimated that you should have made a breakthrough.

It seems that yesterday must have been a good day, and our family had three good things happen to us." Lin Changqing also smiled and said: "Yesterday, influenced by my father and second uncle, I decided to try to break through, and fortunately, I succeeded."

Grandfather nodded and said, "Cultivating immortals also requires chance and opportunity. Yesterday, your father and his companions successfully established their foundation, and the shackles of obsession in your heart gradually fell away. This should be an opportunity for you.

Just like when I was practicing yesterday, I also felt that my cultivation was a little more advanced than usual. It should be the same reason. As the saying goes, if you keep thinking about it, there will be a response. This should be the reason.

After listening to this, Lin Changqing suddenly realized that what his grandfather said was right and very reasonable. Cultivating immortals is not only about cultivating the body and magic power, but also a spiritual practice.

Lin Changqing stood up and thanked his grandfather solemnly: "Thank you for your teachings, grandson, I have learned a lot!"

Grandpa nodded with satisfaction: "One more thing, your cultivation level is now at the eighth level of Qi Refining, the same as your mother. Among the five spiritual roots recorded in the Lin family, your cultivation speed should be the fastest.

So you should usually practice the Hidden Spirit Technique and hide one or two levels of your cultivation. This way you won’t attract too much attention, and there might be unexpected surprises at critical moments!"

Lin Changqing had never thought about this aspect, but after listening to his grandfather's words, he chuckled. He didn't expect that his grandfather was so experienced. He was indeed an old hand who often traveled outside.

"Grandpa, you are an old hand. I will listen to you and just hide one level of my cultivation. Otherwise, if I become the middle stage of Qi Refining, others will think I am a loser!"

Grandpa nodded, agreeing with Lin Changqing's decision.

Lin Changqing began to practice the Hidden Spirit Technique, hiding some of his cultivation level, and still displayed to the outside world as being at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

After getting used to it, Lin Changqing started to make green jade tea, and the grandfather and grandson began to chat. In fact, they were mainly waiting now.

Grandpa was waiting for Lin Changqing's father and second uncle to consolidate their cultivation and come out of seclusion to confirm that his two sons had successfully completed the foundation building. After all, the grandfather and grandson speculated that they had successfully built the foundation yesterday, but they still wanted to see it with their own eyes to feel at ease.

Lin Changqing remembered that he had promised his father that he would come to greet him when he successfully built his foundation and came out of seclusion. Now he has fulfilled his promise to his father!
However, the grandfather and grandson did not wait for them to come out that day. It was not until the afternoon of the third day that the two were drinking tea and chatting.

Suddenly, in the training room where Lin Changqing's father was in seclusion, there was a "click" and the sealing barrier on the door was opened.

Grandpa stood up excitedly, and Lin Changqing quickly ran to the door of the practice room and waited.

Soon, the door was opened and father Lin Maosheng walked out with a smile on his face.

Feeling the second-level spiritual pressure emanating from my father, I confirmed that his foundation had been successfully established.

Lin Changqing was so happy that he could no longer hold back and rushed forward, hugged him, and shouted happily: "Congratulations, father, you have successfully built your foundation. From now on, you will live forever and prosper on the immortal path!"

Lin Maosheng saw that his son had returned safely, and when he successfully built his foundation and came out of seclusion, he came to greet him.

She was also very happy, so she didn't care about his exaggerated words and just patted her son's back hard.

Then he came to his father Lin Fandao, bowed to him very seriously, and said: "Father, I have lived up to your expectations and successfully established my foundation!"

Lin Fandao nodded, his eyes slightly wet, and it took him a while to adjust his mood.

He said happily: "Okay, the success of building the foundation can only be regarded as the first step on the road to immortality. I have to continue to work hard to practice in the future. The next goal is to break through to the Purple Mansion Stage."
