Pretending that it didn't matter, he threw the Foundation-Building Dan into the basin by his feet. This was also a key to bring out the medicinal efficacy. A holy medicine for cultivation like the Foundation-Building Dan was not like the Six Flavor Rehmannia Pill, which could be broken into pieces and soaked in water to bring out its medicinal efficacy. It was a whole, so it had to exist as a whole in order to bring out its medicinal efficacy. What Lou Xiaoyi needed to control was nothing more than when the concentration of the Foundation-Building Dan was enough and the timing to fish it out.
The Building Foundation Pill was worthy of being a panacea. It didn't melt in the water, and there was no feeling of losing its efficacy. It was like a real bead, exuding a dense aura in the water. Lou Xiaoyi paid attention to the changes in the concentration of the medicine in the water, while continuing to use his spiritual power to ease the meridians on his mother's feet.
"Mother, if you feel anything, you must tell me. Is it a tingling pain, an itch, or something else?"
After thirty breaths, Lou Xiaoyi decisively took out the Foundation-Building Pill. There wasn't even a trace of stickiness on the surface. He had no experience in soaking feet with the Foundation-Building Pill, and he estimated that no cultivator in this world had such experience. Therefore, he could only feel the stone to cross the river. He couldn't wait for his mother to feel something before taking action, otherwise it would be too late!
A Foundation-Building Pill could let a cultivator be reborn, so its efficacy couldn't be underestimated!
He soaked his hand in the water and secretly used his spiritual power to keep the water warm. He continued to use his spiritual power to gently stimulate his mother's meridians while observing her reaction. After an hour, he found that his mother didn't feel anything at all, so he soaked the Foundation-Building Pill in the water again. After doing this three times and four hours later, his mother began to feel drowsy. Only then did he realize that the effect of the Foundation-Building Pill couldn't be exerted without the stimulation of spiritual power.
Therefore, he used his spiritual power to stimulate the Foundation-Building Pill in the water. This time, the efficacy of the pill began to show significantly. His mother frowned drowsily and made a sound of surprise. Only then did Lou Xiaoyi quickly take out the Foundation-Building Pill and ask,
"Mother, how do you feel?"
The old lady carefully thought about it. "Hmm, Xiaoyi, I feel a slight tingling sensation. Your Vigorous Pill is really useful. I can feel it even when soaking my feet …"
Lou Xiaoyi heaved a long sigh. It was good to feel something!
After three days of trying, Lou Xiaoyi finally figured out the rules of how to use the Foundation-Building Pill when soaking his mother's feet. Only then did he truly get on the right track with his mother's meridians.
Lou Xiaoyi had completely given up on cultivating in the Gobi Desert. He only cultivated once in the morning to recover his spiritual power. For the rest of the time, out of the twenty-four hours a day, he would spend twelve hours soaking his feet in the water!
Ten days later, there was a reaction when he tapped the tibia. Twenty days later, the blocked meridians finally melted and opened up a small gap. Since then, spiritual power could pass through the gap. Whether or not he used a Foundation Establishment Pill was only a matter of time.
Lou Xiaoyi let out a long sigh of relief. Thankfully, he managed to melt the blockage before the Foundation-Building Pill completely lost its effect. Otherwise, with his wealth, where would he find another Foundation-Building Pill?
He carefully placed the Foundation-Building Pill into a jade bottle. This pill had done a great service, so it should still have some medicinal effect. Perhaps he could use it when he reached Foundation Establishment. Although he had used it to soak his mother's feet, how could his mother's feet be soaked in water?
Lou Xiaoyi continued to work hard. Day and night, he did not stop. Two months later, his mother's feet were completely healed. Although she still needed someone to help her walk, that was because her muscles had atrophied from not walking for too long. As long as she resumed exercising, walking by herself would be a matter of time.
In the small garden, a servant girl supported Lou Xiaoyi. She slowly walked in front of Lou Xiaoyi, who was standing to the side. She reached out a hand and slid it across his still young face. She smiled with tears in her eyes.
"Xiaoyi, from today onwards, you don't have to spend all your time in the Inner Residence. If you have time, just come and see me after breakfast. The rest of the time, you should be busy with your own things!"
Lou Xiaoyi finally had time to go to Aunt Cai's grave to pay his respects. This cemetery was actually located in a farm outside Lou Province. It had its back to the mountains and the water, and the scenery was beautiful. It was a location that the two old madams had long since set their sights on.
He offered a sacrifice in front of the tombstone, cleaned it up, and pulled out the weeds. Lou Xiaoyi did not appear to be too sad. Aunt Cai had passed away at this age. In this world, she could be considered middle-aged.
Lou Xiaoyi sat beside the grave, one hand wrapped around the tombstone. Just like when she was still alive, he only murmured softly.
"Everyone will die one day. It's just a matter of time! Aunt Cai, you can go ahead and wait for mother and I to come and accompany you! "
He wanted to carry his mother on his back to cultivate, but he also knew that this was ultimately a beautiful wish. Since ancient times, it had never been realized! Cultivation was originally going against the heavens and changing one's fate. He still wanted to carry his mother and children and have a big family …
What he hoped to do was to not abandon this family in his mother's year of destiny!
The days began to return to their usual rhythm. He, who had completely calmed down, set a strict cultivation schedule for himself. It was as if he had grown up overnight. He no longer had the indifferent attitude of cultivation from before.
He placed his main cultivation base in the Gobi Desert. Every three days, he would return to the manor to see his mother.
In the early morning, before the sun rose, he would cultivate in the Gentle Wind Spirit Gathering Array. The array was fully activated, and he did not care about the consumption of spirit stones. He only cared about the speed of extracting the spirit essence of the world!
In fact, during the Qi Eater stage, as long as one's cultivation method was suitable, the environment was suitable, and one was willing to invest, reaching the final step before the Foundation Establishment stage was not a difficult matter. There had once been a genius disciple of a sect who reached the Foundation Establishment stage in three years. This was not something new. The difficulty of the Foundation Establishment stage was to take that final step. Without a Foundation Establishment Pill, one would truly need time to grind.
After grinding for dozens of years, one would sigh and sigh that the road was uneven, but one's fate was in the hands of the heavens!
This was the true portrayal of a Rogue Cultivator.
The concentration of spirit essence was different in different areas. There was no fixed rule, but generally speaking, the desolate areas outside the city were always better than the bustling areas inside the city. Because of the rejection of the mortal world, it was always weaker in places where a large number of mortals gathered. This was also the reason why Lou Xiaoyi had to choose the Gobi Desert.
This place was desolate enough. There were no traces of humans. As long as one avoided a few limited trade routes and was further away from the areas where the red thread worms appeared, one would basically not be able to detect the presence of humans.
If one added the enhancement of the Gentle Wind Spirit Gathering Array, he felt that the concentration of spirit essence he absorbed could barely reach three times that of when he cultivated in Lou Province. This was already very impressive.
At the end of the five hour period, it was time for him to start his own set of messy things. He brandished his sword ten thousand times, the Ten Feet Movement Technique, the Phosphorescence Technique, and the Art of Object Manipulation were all practiced according to his habits. For example, he would fly while controlling the flying dagger, or releasing the Phosphorescence Technique, or simply brandishing his sword like a madman!
In the past, this might have just been a hobby. He liked to complete everything under speed, and was not willing to just be a stump. But now he knew that he might have to use all of this. If he did not work hard, his little life would be in danger.
Noon was the hottest time of the day. The sun was scorching, and it was not suitable for absorption. But it was very suitable for refining. At this time, he would reverse the Jade Purity Zhongping Imperial Edict. In the positive and negative circulation of the martial arts, he would force out the impurities in the spirit essence, leaving only the purest part.
The afternoon was a copy of the morning. While running, he would do his best to squeeze out his potential in order to release all of the spirit energy in his body.
Then, during the five hour period, he would absorb the spirit essence in the Gentle Wind Spirit Gathering Array. Like a sponge, he would squeeze it dry, throw it into the lake, fill it with water, and squeeze it dry again. He would repeatedly seek to improve the quality and quantity of the spirit essence.
After the five hour period, he would cultivate the awareness of his eyes and ears in the silence of the tortoise breath. Internally, he would cultivate the Art of Eyes, and strengthen his ears to listen … Then, he would endlessly control objects and throw flying daggers!
