Being a Late Bloomer in the Cultivation World

Only after reaching the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment would he not be completely helpless when facing Late-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Today, the power of Master Qin’s single sword strike had not only shocked Yu Kui Master, but it had also served as a rude awakening for him.

Strength on paper,

was ultimately just an illusion.

Only through actual combat could one truly know who was strong and who was weak.

Inside the Cultivation Room, Wei Tu sat cross-legged and poured a longan-sized, jade-like Pill from a Pill Bottle.

After swallowing the Jade Marrow Pill, Wei Tu immediately enveloped the Elixir with his Magical Power to refine its medicinal effects.

The Jade Marrow Pill transformed into a Pill Liquid and flowed near Wei Tu’s Dantian. As his Magical Power absorbed it, the liquid gradually shrank.

「Two months later.」

After completing the Refinement of the Pill Liquid, Wei Tu noticed his Magical Power had increased by a full fifteen percent. He also sensed the faint, indistinct barrier that now stood before him, though the sensation was fleeting.

But Wei Tu understood that this was the bottleneck for breaking through from the Early-Stage to the Middle-Stage of Foundation Establishment.

Unlike the Qi Refining Realm, each of the Foundation Establishment Three Realms had its own bottleneck.

However, these bottlenecks varied. Generally, for a Cultivator with Pure Magical Power, the bottleneck was like a thin sheet of paper. Once their Magical Power was sufficient, a gentle leap would be enough to tear it to shreds.

Instead of rushing to take the next Jade Marrow Pill, Wei Tu activated his Primordial Forbidden and began to purify his Magical Power.

Within his Dantian, the five-colored, glowing Primordial Forbidden acted like a sieve. Under the precise control of Wei Tu’s Guardian Map Divine Sense, it began to filter out the minuscule, dust-like particles of Pill Poison from the Jade Marrow Pill and expel them from his body.

The Primordial Forbidden had the effect of controlling gravity. Although the weights of the Pill Poison and Magical Power were nearly identical, separating them was not a difficult task under its purifying effect.

「Half a month later.」

The Pill Poison within Wei Tu’s body was completely purged. His Magical Power returned to its former purity, no longer sullied by impurities.

However, compared to the "vast" amount of Magical Power he had before, his reserves had shrunk slightly after the purification.

In other words, a single Jade Marrow Pill had only increased his Magical Power by ten percent.

The other five percent of Magical Power had been expelled from his body along with the Pill Poison.

Wei Tu didn’t mind this loss. Elixirs could be bought with Spirit Stones, but if one’s foundation became impure, it would be difficult to restore it, even with all the Spirit Stones in the world.

During the process of purifying his Magical Power, he clearly felt the "bottleneck" before him weaken slightly.

Next, Wei Tu took out the Pill Bottle and swallowed the second Jade Marrow Pill.

The process was the same as with the first Jade Marrow Pill: first, he would refine its medicinal effects, and then he would purify his Magical Power.

「Nearly half a year later.」

Wei Tu’s Magical Power had increased once more.

He was getting ever closer to Breaking Realm.

’First, I’ll leave seclusion and focus on Talisman Painting to consolidate my Cultivation. After some time, I’ll take the other two Jade Marrow Pills...’

’It’s best to let Breaking Realm happen naturally.’

With a wave of his sleeve, Wei Tu opened the door to the Cultivation Room and walked out.

Just then, the Sky-Splitting Carving arrived, seemingly having sensed his emergence, and delivered a letter into Wei Tu’s hands.

’A letter from Second Brother?’

Wei Tu was slightly taken aback when he saw the signature on the envelope.

He couldn’t understand why Weii Fei would be writing to him at a time like this.

"A friendship of nearly a hundred years... and this day has finally arrived," Wei Tu sighed with emotion after reading the letter.

In the letter, Weii Fei had mentioned only one thing: the matter of the "Ten-Year Agreement."

Weii Fei stated bluntly that as a Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer cultivator, it was too difficult for him to get involved at the Foundation Establishment Level. He wished to withdraw from the Yee Society, and as for their future ten-year meetings... he would no longer be attending.
