Chapter 152: Second Level of Foundation Building, Five Miles of Spiritual Awareness

After a long talk with Wu Qingxuan, it was already noon.

Cao Rui stood up and said goodbye. He summoned Hei Yu, stepped on Hei Yu's back, and left from the gate of the Spirit Beast Sect.

At dusk the next day, Cao Rui finally arrived at Qingling Xiuxian Market.

After returning to Qingling Xiuxian Market, Cao Rui continued to retreat to refine pills and tools.

After about twenty days of retreat, Cao Rui successfully delivered all the first batch of pre-sold Lingyin Jade Pendants.

The Lingyin Jade Pendant Store began to announce that the orders of the second batch of pre-sale customers would be delivered in order from now on.

Qingling Market was suddenly full of joy.

After forty days of retreat, Cao Rui's Bailu Dan and second-level alchemy were successfully completed, consuming 200 copies of Bailu Dan spiritual medicine materials.

This time, Cao Rui's success rate in refining Bailu Dan was 50%, and the success rate of the pill reached about 7 pills. A total of 700 Bailu Dan were harvested from 200 copies of Bailu Dan spiritual medicine materials.

Together with the 370 Bailu Pills refined before, the total of 1,070 Bailu Pills was enough for Cao Rui to use the experience beads to advance to the second level of the foundation-building period.

Cao Rui did not hesitate, and stopped refining the tools and pills, and rested for a day.

On this day, Cao Rui took out 800 Bailu Pills.

Cao Rui opened his mouth slightly, and under the control of the object control technique, the Bailu Pills were automatically swallowed into his mouth.

After the Bailu Pills were swallowed into the stomach, they immediately turned into rich medicinal power to be absorbed by the experience beads of [Shenyuan Jue].

In Cao Rui's mind, the experience value of the [Shenyuan Jue] experience beads rose rapidly with the influx of medicinal power.

About 805 Bailu Pills after Cao Rui swallowed, the experience beads of [Shenyuan Jue] finally reached the maximum value.

The experience beads after reaching the maximum value emitted a rich purple light, flashing in Cao Rui's mind.

After a long period of crazy practice for eleven hours every day, Cao Rui finally ushered in this moment.

"Experience beads, give me a breakthrough!"

Buzz!

The experience beads trembled slightly, and the purple experience beads in the experience beads instantly turned into a purple torrent that flowed into Cao Rui's consciousness and body.

The most obvious thing was Cao Rui's spiritual consciousness. A large purple torrent flowed into the depths of Cao Rui's mind and disappeared.

Then Cao Rui realized that his spiritual consciousness began to grow rapidly.

From the initial three miles, four miles...until five miles, the spiritual consciousness stopped growing.

"For ordinary foundation-building period, the range of spiritual consciousness increases by one mile at most from the first level to the second level."

"And I, who practiced the Shenyuan Jue, directly increased it by two miles, which is twice the spiritual consciousness of ordinary foundation-building cultivators."

"Now my spiritual consciousness range has reached five miles, which is already the spiritual consciousness range that ordinary foundation-building cultivators can reach in the fifth level..."

It is worthy of being the magic formula created by Shenyuan Zhenjun. Cao Rui feels that as his realm improves, it is not impossible to be invincible in the foundation-building period with spiritual consciousness.

At this time, Cao Rui's spiritual consciousness opened up, and he could already see the small half of the market near the cultivation tower to the Danlingbao Pavilion.

Cao Rui's consciousness even saw Sun Ming, who was receiving guests in the VIP room of Danlingbao Pavilion.

Sun Ming was exchanging the contact information of the Lingyin Jade Pendant with the guest, and it seemed that he had made a good deal.

Sun Ming felt a strong consciousness sweeping over him, and when he was wondering, Cao Rui had already withdrawn his consciousness.

"The mana has doubled, and the liquid mana in the dantian is more condensed, and the quality has obviously improved." Cao Rui felt the surging mana in his body and was secretly amazed.

"Let's see, how many Bailu Pills are needed to advance to the third level of the foundation-building period?" Cao Rui took a deep breath and decided to explore further.

He took out a Bailu Pill from the storage bag and put it in his mouth.

As the Bailu Pill entered his throat, a cool feeling spread throughout his body. He quickly operated the Shenyuan Jue to let the experience bead absorb the medicinal power.

The experience bead flashed a faint light and continued to absorb the medicinal power of the Bailu Pill.

The medicinal power turned into a trace of invisible purple energy and poured into the experience bead.

Cao Rui stared at the experience bead closely, observing its changes.

After a period of absorption, the experience bead finally stopped flashing and displayed a value: 0.0625%.

"So little?" Cao Rui frowned, a little disappointed.

Based on this data, Cao Rui quickly concluded that if he wanted to rely on the experience bead to instantly upgrade to the third level of the foundation-building period, he would need at least 1,600 Bailu pills.

The number doubled compared to the first level to the second level of the foundation-building period.

"1,600 pills..." Cao Rui muttered to himself.

Of course, if he did not pursue speed, Cao Rui would not need to consume so many Bailu pills for normal cultivation.

However, doing so would not bring out the full effect of the experience bead.

If conditions permit, swallowing more elixirs through the experience bead and quickly improving his cultivation is the right path Cao Rui should take.

Because Cao Rui never knows when he can't find the elixir, and how long his lifespan can last after he can't quickly improve his cultivation with his low talent for cultivating immortals.

The faster he advances, the more lifespan he has left, and the more room he has left for himself.

"There are still 265 Bailu Pills and 220 Bailu Pills' spiritual medicinal materials in the storage bag."

"After the Bailu Pill is fully developed, the success rate of multiple factors will be superimposed, and the success rate of refining Bailu Pill can reach about 70% to 80%."

"The success rate of the pill can also reach about 8 pills."

"220 Bailu Pills' spiritual medicinal materials can produce at least 1,300 Bailu Pills."

"And I should be able to cultivate Bailu Dan to perfection after 200 copies. Theoretically, I can refine more Bailu Dan."

"With the surplus from before, it is almost enough for me to advance to the third level of the foundation-building period."

Thinking of this, Cao Rui relaxed slightly. It was worth it to work hard on refining pills.

"Let's see how much the speed of engraving the Lingyin Jade Pendant can be improved after the spiritual consciousness increases greatly?"

Cao Rui took out a Lingyin Jade Pendant and began to concentrate on engraving the array.

The biggest reason why the Lingyin Jade Pendant is so popular is that it is cheap.

With only five spirit stones and the cost of one spirit sound point per year, you can communicate within a range of 5,000 miles of Huanqingling Xiuxian Market.

High-level cultivators may disdain it, as they have their own means of communication.

But for many low-level cultivators in the Qi Refining Period who have no sect to rely on, this is the best communication tool that is hard to refuse.

The main reason why the Lingyin Jade Pendant is cheap is Cao Rui's own skill in engraving the array.

Cao Rui's skill alone is worth hundreds of spirit stones.

But Cao Rui did not sell the Lingyin jade pendant at a high price. To some extent, although Cao Rui had his own purpose, Sun Ming's praise for Cao Rui at the auction was not groundless.

Cao Rui, who was engraving the magic array, soon found that engraving the two 0-level magic arrays became easier after his spiritual consciousness increased greatly.

The speed was obviously improved.

In the end, Cao Rui only spent seven minutes to successfully engrave a Lingyin jade pendant.
