Crow Immortal: I Can Duplicate Infinite Resources

Chapter 220: Green Wood Foundation Establishment

“Sect Leader, what’s wrong?”

Seeing Sect Leader Qi gripping Han Yu’s shoulder with an expression of sheer disbelief, Elder Lü couldn’t help but step forward to ask.

Sect Leader Qi shook his head and released his grip. “It’s… difficult to describe. Come see for yourself.”

Elder Lü hurried over, extending his Foundation Establishment realm Spiritual Energy to probe Han Yu. “Don’t panic, disciple, just let me check—I… this Spirit Breath… isn’t there too much of it?”

He paused abruptly, letting out a gasp of surprise.

“A typical ninth-layer Qi Refining cultivator shouldn’t possess this much Spirit Breath… Disciple, how is your reserve so vast?”

Sect Leader Qi reminded him, “Don’t forget the Thousand-Year Sunkwood Heart, the Ancestral Tree Spirit Liquid, the wooden bracelet, and his time within the Ancestral Tree’s earth vein. These have all added an immense amount to his foundation.”

“Also, remember he possesses Universal Comprehension, and his physical constitution is exceptionally strong.”

“With all these factors combined, it is only natural that his Spirit Breath is far more robust and abundant than an ordinary cultivator at the ninth layer of Qi Refining.”

“So, you’re saying he really is fully prepared for Foundation Establishment?” Elder Lü chuckled, visibly pleased. “This disciple of mine truly has the devil’s own luck. To think he’s already at this stage.”

Sect Leader Qi’s cheek twitched slightly. He lifted the long sleeve of his gold-embroidered robe and gestured. “I suggest you take a closer look.”

“His current state isn’t something that can be explained by mere luck.”

Slightly puzzled, Elder Lü focused his senses again. Suddenly recalling Han Yu’s Spirit Blood Technique, he hurriedly directed his probe toward the Danzhong acupoint.

His expression froze.

Above the blood talisman at the Danzhong acupoint, all nine patterns had reached Perfection… It clearly indicated that Han Yu had already reached the ninth layer of Blood Refining. It was even possible he could achieve Foundation Establishment through the Blood Refining Technique alone!

“How could this be… Blood Refining ninth layer…”

“What about the ninth layer of Blood Refining?” Elder Yan asked, stepping closer.

Elder Lü immediately caught himself. “I mean, my disciple has actually cultivated the secret art of the Spirit Blood Technique to the ninth layer. Truly no small feat.”

Elder Yan walked over. “Let me take a look.”

He extended his Spiritual Energy to sense Han Yu’s condition, then stared at the boy in astonishment. “We can understand the Spirit Breath, body refining, and other secret arts. After all, you have Universal Comprehension, and your talent has precedents.”

“But at such a young age, how did you temper your soul to this extent?”

“This… this doesn’t make sense!”

Han Yu explained calmly, “Senior Brother Li Tonghai from the Spirit Sword Sect gifted me the Soul Condensing Sword Art. It helps one see through illusions and sharpen intuition, but it is also a technique for condensing the soul.”

“I have been cultivating that sword art to temper my spirit.”

Elder Yan looked at Sect Leader Qi, shaking his head in wonder. “This is Universal Comprehension… truly Universal Comprehension.”

“The Myriad Phenomena Sect speculates that Wanchun Valley has birthed a Demon Star, and that Han Yu is that star. Although I don’t agree with the accusation, if we speak strictly of ability—why do I feel that Bai Shiqi and Lu Yun combined couldn’t match Han Yu alone?”

“In terms of talent and potential, Han Yu really might be their most terrifying enemy.”

Sect Leader Qi smiled. “At the same time, he could also become the strongest person in the Southern Region.”

“When this child fully matures, even Sect Leader Ye of the Spirit Sword Sect might not be his match.”

As Sect Leader Qi and Elder Lü conversed, the other Elders stepped forward one by one to inspect Han Yu’s preparations. Each came away more astonished than the last.

Elder Bai, in particular, couldn’t help but sigh. “I thought Bai Shiqi, with his diligent cultivation and Wood-attribute Single Spirit Root—so perfectly suited to our Wanchun Valley’s techniques—would surely surpass Han Yu in Spirit Breath cultivation.”

“But looking at Han Yu’s foundation now… it is unprecedented in the history of Wanchun Valley. And I doubt we will ever see its like again.”

After the initial wave of shock and praise subsided, Sect Leader Qi made a decision. “Since Han Yu is so thoroughly prepared, the matter of interrogating the Myriad Phenomena Sect disciple can wait until tomorrow, after he breaks through.”

“Tomorrow, I will act as his Dharma Protector and oversee his advancement to the Foundation Establishment realm.”

“I’ll come too!” Elder Lü chimed in.

He turned to instruct Han Yu, “Take out your Foundation Establishment Pill in advance, just to be safe.”

“If any accident occurs, take the pill immediately. It will ensure nothing goes wrong.”

The other Elders looked at Elder Lü as if he were speaking nonsense.

“With preparations this perfect, if an accident still occurs, then no one else should ever dream of succeeding in Foundation Establishment!”

“Exactly. There is absolutely no chance of failure, and he certainly won’t need the pill!”

Elder Lü chuckled sheepishly. “Well, just in case. You never know, right?”

“You really dare to speak such inauspicious words? Aren’t you afraid you’ll jinx him?” Elder Wen scolded, though a moment later she narrowed her eyes. “Wait… Lü Qing—did you just slyly show off your disciple again?”

“Talking about ‘accidents’ just so we would chime in and say your disciple’s talent is so peerless that failure is impossible.”

“Am I right?”

Elder Lü wilted under her gaze and forced a dry laugh. “Of course not, of course not—Senior Sister Wen, I just believe in being prepared. That’s all.”

“You’d better be telling the truth. Otherwise, I might ‘accidentally’ add a little something extra to the Purple Sun Fruit you’ll be needing soon,” Elder Wen said with a sweet smile.

Elder Lü laughed nervously, firmly insisting he had no ulterior motives.

Having clarified everything with the Sect Leader, his Master, and the Elders, Han Yu felt lighthearted and unburdened. He welcomed the coming day with a relaxed and confident spirit.

The senior masters of Wanchun Valley trusted him deeply and cared for him genuinely. They were his most solid shield.

After resting for a day, Han Yu officially began his Foundation Establishment.

Sect Leader Qi and Elder Lü arrived first, followed shortly by the other Elders.

As Elder Wen put it, they had come to witness a rare spectacle—and besides, it beat waiting around doing nothing.

After thanking his seniors, Han Yu entered his room and sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion. Spiritual Qi misted around him like fog. His eyes closed slightly, and the Spirit Breath within his body surged like a river, flowing ceaselessly through his Meridians.

It began.

Two cultivation techniques flashed through Han Yu’s mind.

First, the Green Wood Foundation Establishment Technique, the successor to the Green Grain Qi Cultivation Method. Once his Qi Refining Spirit Breath transformed into Foundation Establishment Spiritual Energy, the original Circulation Cycle would still function, but the operation of the new heart technique was paramount.

The new Spiritual Energy would thoroughly transform every part of Han Yu, bringing about a fundamental and far-reaching change. Its significance was no less than when he first began cultivating, transforming from a mortal into a cultivator.

The second technique was the Foundation Establishment method of the Blood Refining Technique.

Originally taught to him by that mysterious Daoist, the technique only went up to the Foundation Establishment stage. Now, it was the perfect time to use it for a breakthrough.

Guided by Han Yu’s will, the Spirit Breath circulated through his Meridians and churned in his Dantian. Gradually, it began to condense into a liquid state, each drop representing a substantial leap in power.

Simultaneously, the Wood Spirit Body Refining Art activated on its own. His skin took on the luster of green jade, and faint thunderous sounds vibrated from his bones.

The soul he had tempered with the Soul Condensing Sword Art stood guard over his mind, unwavering.

As the Spirit Breath transformed drop by drop into Spiritual Energy, Han Yu felt himself crossing a threshold—invisible yet undeniably real—like a carp leaping over the dragon gate.

He guided the new Spiritual Energy, cycling it according to the Green Wood Foundation Establishment Technique.

From his Meridians to his Dantian, from his physical body to his very lifespan, the transformation had begun.

Foundation Establishment—achieved!

Just as his seniors had predicted, Han Yu encountered no significant obstacles. He broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm with ease.

The Foundation Establishment Pill sat nearby, untouched. There had been no need for it at all.
