Chapter 147: Foundation Strengthening.

[Congratulations!]
[Signed In successfully!]
[Obtained ‘Yuan Ying Pill’!]
The cold and mechanical voice sounded in Su Qin’s ears.
“Yuan Ying Pill?”
Su Qin frowned.
He had Signed In so many times at the Crop Altar, but this was the first time he had obtained this type of pill.
“Is it similar to the Glazed Golden Core and Nine Revolutions Whirling Pill in the Shaolin Temple?”
Su Qin guessed.
The next moment, Su Qin’s mind was filled with various information and effects about the Yuan Ying Pill.
After a short while, Su Qin’s eyes showed a hint of shock. His mind quickly merged into the System Storage and looked at the Yuan Ying Pill that had just appeared in the corner.
“So this is a Yuan Ying Pill…”
Su Qin’s original calm and composed mind shook slightly.
According to the information given by the System, the Yuan Ying Pill cannot strengthen the Body, True Essence, nor Divine Sense. To be precise, it enhances one’s Cultivation Base.
It has two effects. One is to make up one’s vitality to a great extent. And by making up for life, it does not mean it will prolong life, but instead it will make up for lost life.
However, Su Qin really values the Yuan Ying Pill for its second effect, which is increasing one’s Foundation.
What is the Foundation?
The Foundation is not innate talent, nor it is aptitude, but its importance to Martial Artists is no less than the first two.
Martial Artists with a strong Foundation were often able to beat those of the same level, and can even fight those above their level. Moreover, during a breakthrough, the risk will be slightly reduced. Even if one ultimately fails the breakthrough, there would still be a chance to try again.
Su Qin does not know whether his Foundation was strong or weak, because since he was born, no opponent had been able to fight him head-on…
But naturally, the higher the better! No one will dislike a great Foundation.
“It only took me 30 years to reach the 5th Heavenly Layer. A normal Martial Artist might not even do so even after 400-500 years. I didn’t care about Foundation until now. It seems that it is necessary to strengthen my Foundation with the Yuan Ying Pill.”
Su Qin’s eyes flashed with joy.
“Let’s return and use the Yuan Ying Pill.”
Su Qin decided, immediately turned and left.
Right Spring Square.
Su Qin sat cross-legged and in front of him, a pill that was faintly burning with illusory flames floated slowly. It looked very mysterious.
It was none other than the Yuan Ying Pill.
“If I didn’t know the effects of the pill beforehand, I would have not dared to use it…”
Su Qin sighed.
The natural phenomenon caused by the Yuan Ying Pill was even greater than the Glazed Golden Core. If it hadn’t been for the massive Heaven and Earth Array that he had set up, which suppressed everything, all of the people in the Imperial Palace would have noticed this.
“I don’t know how far this will strengthen my Foundation…”
Su Qin looked at the burning pill and thought.
Next, Su Qin took a light breath and swallowed the Yuan Ying Pill floating in front of him.
[Bang~]!
As soon as the Yuan Ying Pill entered his body, it melted very quickly and spread all over his body.
In just a few moments, Su Qin’s limbs, blood vessels, every piece of flesh and blood, were filled with the illusory flame from the Yuan Ying Pill.
“This?!”
Su Qin’s expression changed slightly, even with his Body that has undergone four Transformations, he still felt pain from the flames.
Just how terrifying was this?
Considering that Su Qin’s current Body won’t even suffer any damage from a Legend’s attack, it shows just how strong the flames were.
“This is Foundation Strengthening?”
Su Qin thought.
With his strength, trying to prevent the burning and spreading of the illusory flame within his body was just a matter of thought, but Su Qin did not do it.
Because he realized the essence of strengthening one’s Foundation.
The Foundation was not like the Body, nor True Essence, nor Divine Sense.
To improve the three, you only need to add on what’s already there.
For example, think of a ten thousand zhang high building. If you want to continue and make it taller, you can just extend it starting from the highest floor.
But Foundation is different.
It is equivalent to the structure and base of a tall building. If you want to strengthen the foundation, you must start at the most fundamental level.
[Hooo~]!
[Haaa~]!
Su Qin’s chest slowly rose and fell.
Although the illusory flame does not burn real things, it was constantly polishing Su Qin’s Foundation, which was also illusory.
Time passed and soon a few hours passed in a blink of an eye.
The illusory flame burning in Su Qin’s body gradually subsided, before finally extinguishing completely and disappearing.
As the illusory flame disappeared, a new aura emerged from within Su Qin’s body. It was like bamboo shoots springing up after the rain.
[Bang~]!
Su Qin’s blood was turbulent, like a big river as it rolled endlessly.
This was a manifestation of the renewed improvement of his Foundation.
After taking the Yuan Ying Pill, although Su Qin’s Body has not reached the condition for a fifth Transformation, it was much better than before.
In addition to his Body, Su Qin’s True Essence and even Divine Sense have also increased by varying degrees.
“This is?”
Su Qin opened his eyes slowly, revealing a hint of joy.
After taking the Yuan Ying Pill, Su Qin’s strength was still at the 5th Heavenly Layer, but his Body, True Essence, and Divine Sense all have surged in different magnitudes, among which the Body has the largest increase and True Essence was second.
“Not bad.”
“It’s not in vain that I have suffered so much.”
Su Qin was extremely satisfied. If he just followed the normal route, it would’ve taken him at least a year to achieve this kind of improvement, but now, it has been completed in just a few hours, how could he be dissatisfied?
“Strengthen the Foundation, let’s see if my Cultivation speed has increased.”
Su Qin’s thoughts moved. Supplements like Innate Spirit Liquid, Blood Bodhi, and Vermilion Fruit suddenly appeared in front of him.
The next moment, several drops of Innate Spirit Liquid poured into Su Qin’s mouth. After a while, several Blood Bodhi were swallowed, and finally, a Vermilion Fruit was taken.
One night passed.
Su Qin opened his eyes and stood up slowly. His Body emitted a palpitating aura.
The World’s Essence Qi surrounding Su Qin was like an ocean, constantly oscillating and rising.
“Sure enough.”
“My Cultivation speed has also increased. Although the rate of increase is not large, with accumulation over dozens of hundreds of years, it is enough to open a huge gap with others…”
Su Qin let out a long sigh, expressing joy.
According to his previous estimation, under the premise that he has been taking things like Innate Spirit Liquid and Blood Bodhi, it would take him a few years to enter Peak 5th Heavenly Layer, but now it has shortened to one to two years.
