Time passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Xuan’s seclusion actually lasted for ten years. For ordinary people, it was naturally unimaginable, but the Immortal Path was long, and such cultivation was indispensable.

Lin Xuan finally got what he wanted, and stepped into the Foundation Establishment Late-stage. He also reached the Sixth Layer of his Cultivation Method, in other words, it was the peak of the Foundation Establishment Late-stage.

As for Lin Yue’er, this girl’s aptitude easily surpassed Lin Xuan’s expectations.

Without the aid of pills, she reached the Foundation Establishment Middle-Stage in just ten years.

“Hoo!”

Lin Xuan sank his Spiritual Sense into his Dantian, and slowly finished his cultivation. He then stood up and stretched his hands and feet. After meditating for a day and night, his body felt really numb.

Lin Xuan then left the cultivation room and went to a stone room next to it.

It was nearly empty here, with only a simple Spirit Gathering Array on the ground, and a white round Spirit Beast Egg that was placed in the middle of it.

Still no movement, Lin Xuan couldn’t help but reveal a disappointed look on his face.

This Spirit Beast Egg was obtained from the Sky Fiend Demon Lord’s Cave Mansion. It had been a full decade, but there was still no sign of hatching.

Even with Lin Xuan’s strong will, his patience was gradually worn down. He even wondered if he had obtained a dead egg?

However, after a careful exploration with his Spiritual Sense, there were indeed signs of life activity, and it was indeed not a dead thing, but why wouldn’t it hatch?

If he had encountered any problems with medicine pills, there would naturally be many books in Spirit Pill Mountain to read from. But there was nothing about Spirit Beasts in the library.

Of course, his Master and the sect Elders may know something, but the human heart was complicated. Lin Xuan was unwilling to disclose this news to them, and given that his time and energy was mainly focused on cultivation, the Spirit Beast Egg matter was gradually delayed.

Seeing that it still hadn’t hatched, Lin Xuan was slightly disappointed, but he was not depressed. As long as he was sure that it was not a dead egg, there was nothing to worry about. Maybe he used the wrong method. The next time he went to the city, he would check if there would be any books concerning this area.

He returned to the cultivation room, but Lin Xuan did not continue taking pills and meditating.

As his cultivation base increased day by day, the Foundation Establishment Pill’s potency was also declining. Although with the expansion of the Blue Star Sea in his body, many High-grade Pills were purified, and the effects were still quite satisfactory.

With his previous experience of the Purifying Essence Pill, Lin Xuan certainly wouldn’t try to refine a Top Grade Pill. It was most likely that he needed some precious treasures of Heaven and Earth to do a Double-Refining.

But the High-grade Pill couldn’t satisfy his own needs. Lin Xuan showed a bitter smile. His aptitude was really…

However, he wasn’t in a hurry. Anyway, he had reached the Foundation Establishment Late-stage according to his goal, and it only took a short ten years.

Going forward, there were two choices. One was to continue with his seclusion. After all, the Foundation Establishment Pill only decreased in its potency, but it did not lose its effect. As long as he insisted on taking it, coupled with meditation and Vital Qi refinement, within forty or fifty years, he should also be able to step into the Foundation Establishment Stage Great Perfection, which was also the legendary false Core.

This was one of them.

This path was characterized by its stability and there would be no dealing with minor matters. All he needed was to continue cultivating in seclusion. Of course, the shortcoming was also obvious, that was, the time spent would be a little longer.

One should know that the lifespan of a cultivator was still limited. In the Foundation Establishment Stage, one could live up to more than two hundred years old. Although following this path, a cultivator could reach the False Core Stage at the age of less than a hundred, which was nearly a high level of speed.

But don’t forget, the further one goes in the Immortal Path, the harder and slower it gets to progress. And with Lin Xuan’s Innate Talent. Of course, he had to spare as much time as possible for the later stages.

In addition to this option, another way was to search for other pills. One must know, the Foundation Establishment Stage was different from the Spirit Condensation Stage. As the lowest level of cultivation, the Spirit Condensation Stage had only one kind of pill for Spiritual Power improvement. That was the Purifying Essence Pill. But in the Foundation Establishment Stage, in addition to Foundation Establishment Pills, there were several other Spirit Medicines that could be taken.

Moreover, their effects were much better than the Foundation Establishment Pill, but they were usually not used anymore, not because no one wanted to, but because these pills were some ancient recipes that were handed down tens of thousands of years ago.

Many of the materials required were either extinct, or they were rare to the point of making people vomit blood. Not to mention a single person, even if the power of a Sect was gathered, they may still not be able to collect them all.

In addition, for the general cultivator, taking the Foundation Establishment Pill was already enough. So why should one use these ancient recipes that would cost a lot of effort?

But his situation was different. The Foundation Establishment Pill was getting less and less effective. If he wanted to cultivate faster, these remote pills are his only hope.

However, these pills were hardly refined, and there were no such Trask Pills in the Sect. If he wanted to obtain them, Lin Xuan had to collect the materials by himself according to the records in the pill recipes.

These two options have their own drawbacks, but each has its own advantages. What to choose?

Lin Xuan had difficulty choosing at the moment!

It must be determined first before the following cultivation goals can be arranged.

Lin Xuan stood at a crossroads and it was difficult to make a choice in a short time, so he put this matter aside and suspended his cultivation. He had other things to do.

Lin Xuan took out a Storage Bracelet, injected his Spiritual Sense into it, took all the things out, and poured them onto the ground.

If there were other cultivators here, they would definitely be stunned and drool with envy. Because this large pile of things was not rubbish, but all of them were Spirit Tools.

And their quality was not low, and the numbers were even more astonishing, there were actually dozens of them.

If he replaced them with Spirit Stones, let alone a mere Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, he would even be considered rich compared to Core Formation Stage Experts.

Of course, Lin Xuan did obtain them by coincidence. Since he embarked on the Path of Cultivation, he had always been accompanied by danger.

There were countless people who harbored malicious intentions against, but Lin Xuan was not an easy person to deal with. These Spirit Tools were the trophies that Lin Xuan won after defeating his enemies.

He had sold some before, but most of them had accumulated, and the pile unknowingly got bigger.
