Lin Chen slowly stood up, his Divine Sense spreading out like a tide.
One zhang, ten zhang, thirty zhang...
Eventually, Lin Chen’s Divine Sense covered a full radius of thirty-three zhang.
In total, one hundred and ten ters.
This almost enveloped more than half of the Martial Arts Palace.
"The initial stage of Foundation Establishnt, Divine Sense stretches a hundred ters... and because I practice the Celestial Derivation Technique, I have an additional ten percent of Divine Sense."
Lin Chen thought silently, this hundred ters of Divine Sense is the first major advantage of the Foundation Establishnt Stage over the Qi Refining Stage!
Aside from that...
Through Divine Soul Internal Observation, the True Essence Magical Power in his Dantian had already solidified on that Pill Platform.
"Compared to Qi Refining Perfection, my Magical Power is approximately... three tis more abundant!"
Lin Chen’s face bore a smile.
This is the advantage of a Perfect Foundation Establishnt.
For a Lower Grade Foundation Establishnt Cultivator, True Essence Magical Power is twice that of Qi Refining Perfection.
For a Middle Grade Foundation Establishnt Cultivator, it’s an additional thirty percent on top of that twice.
For an Upper Grade Foundation Establishnt Cultivator, it’s twice plus sixty percent.
Only a Perfect Foundation Establishnt can possess three tis the True Essence Magical Power of Qi Refining Perfection.
"Tsk tsk... Even though I’ve just reached Foundation Establishnt, the True Essence in my body may not be much less than that of an ordinary Cultivator at the third or fourth layer of Foundation Establishnt." Lin Chen thought to himself.
Aside from having a smoother future path, the plentiful Magical True Essence also grants those with Perfect Foundation Establishnt the strength to fight beyond their level.
"Upon reaching Foundation Establishnt Stage, many Techniques can be learned."
"Rejuvenation Technique and Yin Wood Force, these two Techniques are quite suitable for ..."
Months ago, a research team tailored a Technique learning plan for Lin Chen based on his situation.
Among them, Rejuvenation Technique allows one to use Wood Elent True Essence to heal oneself, making it an excellent choice for preserving life.
Yin Wood Force, on the other hand, involves implanting Wood Elent True Essence into an enemy’s body.
And at a crucial mont, this force can be detonated, causing great damage.
Those struck by Yin Wood Force initially find it extrely difficult to detect, and often only realize it when the force erupts, by which ti it is too late.
Lin Chen glanced at the countdown on his arm.
hours and 26 minutes.
"Less than two days until returning to the Cultivation Realm."
After tidying up, Lin Chen left his room.
Outside, Li Nian had not closed his eyes for an entire day and night.
Upon seeing Lin Chen, he showed a look of joy and asked solemnly:
"Breakthrough completed?"
Lin Chen nodded and softly said, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Li!"
Soon after, the news of Lin Chen’s successful Foundation Establishnt reached the ears of Wang Lishan and others.
Lin Chen did not linger in the Martial Arts Palace for long.
He had not been ho for two days.
The communication band on his wrist showed several missed calls from his aunt.
After Lin Chen replied to a ssage, a reply ca in seconds.
"Co ho for lunch, I’ve made pork rib soup for you."
Seeing the ssage on the communication band, Lin Chen felt a warmth in his heart.
...
At noon, the family gathered around the table for a al.
On the newly bought "plasma LCD TV," the news was being broadcasted.
"Celebration across the land, the improvent of the Eighth Generation Martial Arts Breathing Technique has been officially completed, with expert calculations showing it is nearly 35% more efficient than the previous generation..."
"The new Breathing Technique is expected to be nationally rolled out within three days."
Watching the broadcast news, Lin Jianhe felt a touch more sentintal.
"Chen, you were born in a good era!"
"With the advent of the Eighth Generation Breathing Technique, I’m afraid the overall Martial Arts of our Great Xia Country will rise to a new level."
"I wonder which great sage improved the Eighth Generation Breathing Technique... In the old era, such rit would have warranted a monunt and temple!"
As an older Martial Artist, Lin Jianhe had a keen interest in these national affairs.
According to him, although his legs are disabled and he cannot go to battle in the Martial Realm,
if the country needs it, he’d go to the Martial Realm in a wheelchair to kill a couple of Demon Beasts!
"Talking about monunts and temples, you should take care of yourself first!"
Aunt Kong Shan rolled her eyes, and while bantering, she served Lin Jianhe a piece of pork rib.
"Life seems to be getting better, I’ve heard the institute has co out with a new type of prosthetic limb, which works just like real legs, although it’s quite expensive..."
"When we save enough money, I’ll go buy you a pair of prosthetic limbs."
Lin Jianhe’s mouth moved slightly upon hearing this, but he said nothing.
Installing prosthetics requires surgery, which would severely damage the nerves in his thighs.
If they were indeed fitted, although he could move like an ordinary person, his Martial Arts skills would no longer have a chance to shine.
Lin Chen observed all this, quickly finished two bowls of rice, and set down his chopsticks, saying:
"I’m full! I have training later, so Aunt and Uncle, I’m heading out!"
Lin Chen gave Li Nian a call.
By evening, he had visited the Martial Arts Palace again.
"Chen, it’s already late... What do you need?"
Wang Lishan asked with so curiosity.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Chen asked:
"Uncle Wang, have there been any updates on the Water of Life you ntioned before?"
Wang Lishan was montarily taken aback, "You’re here for your uncle’s legs, aren’t you?"
Previously, Wang Lishan had ntioned the Water of Life.
The Water of Life is an extrely concentrated life essence.
A single drop can heal severe injuries.
Several drops can pull soone back from the brink of death.
If there is enough Water of Life, regrowing a severed limb is not out of the question.
However, the Water of Life is extrely precious and can only be obtained from the Martial Realm.
"Yes, I want to use the Water of Life to treat my uncle’s leg injury..."
Lin Chen said softly, feeling a sense of guilt.
This precious item being used to treat rely a retired Martial Master is almost unthinkable.
Wang Lishan didn’t say much more, just gestured to Lin Chen to follow him:
"Co with ..."
Lin Chen followed Wang Lishan through a long corridor, arriving at a laboratory deep within the Martial Arts Palace.
As they entered the laboratory, they were greeted by a large "glass box."
It stood several zhang high and about a zhang wide, almost filling half the room.
Inside the glass box was an enormous tree root, imrsed in a transparent liquid.
Test tubes and soft tubes extended from the liquid, ultimately connecting to a delicate instrunt.
Through the glass, Lin Chen could see the instrunt contained about several dozen milliliters of erald green liquid.
Wang Lishan pointed to the liquid and said:
"This is the Water of Life."
"As you can see, its source is this magical ancient tree root, which we discovered in the Martial Realm."
"There is only one in the whole of Great Xia Country."
"This tree root generates approximately one milliliter of Water of Life per day... It takes about twelve milliliters of Water of Life for a Martial Master to regenerate a severed limb."
At this point, Lin Chen understood the value of the Water of Life.
He was about to speak, but Wang Lishan waved him off.
Then he opened a safe under the instrunt and took out a thumb-sized vial.
"Lin Chen, the Water of Life is sothing I promised you before... You have contributed twenty tons of Cold Iron Stone to the nation, a rit that is more than enough for this vial of Water of Life."
"As for how you choose to use it, that’s your business... I won’t ask any further."
Hearing this, the corners of Lin Chen’s mouth twitched, and he finally accepted the Water of Life.
"Thank you, Uncle Wang..."
Wang Lishan patted Lin Chen on the shoulder, saying:
"By the way, it might be a bit inappropriate to give the Water of Life directly to your uncle."
"How about this, I’ll issue a news announcent about recruiting volunteers for experints, with the content being a new type of cell regeneration technology."
"Then let your uncle register for it?"
Hearing this, Lin Chen showed a strange expression.
One task for one person, first the requirent, then the solution?
