Eternal Life: I Can Sell Everything

Chapter 314 - 307: Building a Wonderful World

Song Ciwan swallowed the Pure Foundation Establishment Pill from the Heaven and Earth Scale and carefully sensed the medicinal power spreading within her.

She soon felt her Spiritual Sense undergo a wondrous transformation, spurred by the power of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Before, her view of the world had been hazy—

This haziness didn’t mean Song Ciwan was blind. Rather, as a Human born with mortal eyes, she found it difficult to perceive the world’s true essence directly.

After cultivating the Sutra of Sitting and Forgetting, refining a divine aspect, and embarking on the Path of Divinity through Refining Essence and Transforming Qi, she had developed her Spiritual Sense. Perceiving the world with this sense added a new layer of acuity beyond her mortal eyes, but even then, many barriers remained.

Sometimes, Song Ciwan could break through these barriers in a state of Enlightenment.

However, Enlightenment was an uncommon, abnormal state.

Such an irregular state wasn’t worth dwelling on.

What shocked Song Ciwan now was that, guided by the power of the Foundation Establishment Pill, the world perceived by her Spiritual Sense had instantly transformed from a dim haze seen through a sheer veil into a vibrant, high-definition panorama!

She closed her physical eyes and unfurled her Spiritual Sense. The first thing she perceived was the multicolored Spiritual Qi floating in the air.

There was a dark, elusive Spiritual Qi, lively and refreshingly cool—this was Water Spiritual Qi.

There was a white Spiritual Qi, sharp and austere—this was Gold Spiritual Qi.

There was a brown Spiritual Qi, heavy and dignified—this was Earth Spiritual Qi.

There was a green Spiritual Qi, brimming with life—this was Wood Spiritual Qi.

There was a crimson Spiritual Qi, scorching and feverish—this was Fire Spiritual Qi.

...

The Five Elements Spiritual Qi within Earth No. 6 Cultivation Room was clearly arranged, pure and dense. Each type seemed to carry a resonance that led straight to the Dao, intoxicating the mind at the slightest touch.

This was a sensation Song Ciwan had never experienced in Great Zhou, in the Mortal World.

The Great Zhou Cultivation Realm didn’t concern itself with the distinctions within Spiritual Qi. The mainstream of cultivation in Great Zhou was centered on Vitality!

Song Ciwan had previously consulted some disparate records and knew the main difference between Spiritual Qi and Vitality: Spiritual Qi was more distinct according to the Five Elements, while Vitality was more chaotic and primordial.

As for which was superior, that was actually difficult to discern.

Both Spiritual Qi and Vitality were types of worldly qi, components of the energy of heaven and earth.

It was like the composition of air she had learned about in her past life.

’What is air? Air is a mixture of gases.’

’Its main components are nitrogen, oxygen, noble gases, carbon dioxide, and other substances, and so on.’

’See how complex air is? The qi of heaven and earth couldn’t be any less complex... right?’

’The composition of air changes with location, and the same goes for the qi of heaven and earth.’

...

As Song Ciwan carefully contemplated the mysteries of Spiritual Qi, she gradually stopped paying mind to the differences between it and Vitality.

She felt as though she had become a fascinated nest-builder. Extending her Spiritual Sense like tentacles, she transported the various Spiritual Qis from the air into her Dantian, where she arranged and combined them to produce all sorts of transformations.

Earth Spiritual Qi could serve as the cornerstone. By stacking it, a wide stone platform gradually appeared in Song Ciwan’s Dantian.

Once the stone platform was built, Song Ciwan found it lacking in resilience. So, she introduced a water source and trees to it. ’Water nurtures wood, and wood reinforces earth!’

The knowledge that afforestation was the scientific way to conserve soil and water was ingrained in Song Ciwan’s very being.

She would never forget it, no matter how many lifetimes she transmigrated through or how many times she reawakened her Innate Wisdom.

Thus, the stone platform in Song Ciwan’s Dantian gradually ceased to look like a platform at all; it had transformed into a vast forest!

Lush grass and trees thrived in the forest, and streams wound their way through it. Between the babbling brooks, outcroppings of ore could be seen. One could imagine that deep within the earth, there must be many more veins of various metals.

Earth begets Gold. A fertile land must not lack for various metal deposits.

To Song Ciwan, this was a concept that came naturally and had to be realized.

Before long, a tall mountain peak slowly rose from within the vast forest!

From the very peak of the mountain, wisps of smoke occasionally rose.

This was Earth Fire, a volcano!

’Endless mineral deposits must be refined by a True Flame. How could the earth possibly lack Fire?’

Through a thousand hammer blows and a hundred refinements, through countless trials and tribulations—this was true Foundation Establishment!

To build the foundation for achieving the Dao, to forge the backbone of one’s humanity, to erect the fortress of the body, and to establish the conviction of one’s own unique existence!

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Amidst the endless hammering and chiseling, waves of sharp strikes began to echo from within the forest in Song Ciwan’s Dantian.

Raging flames blazed as golden sparks flew.

Piece by piece, refined iron was forged. An imposing and vast tower soon rose from the forest floor.

The tower’s design was meticulous, possessing both the aesthetic beauty of classical architecture and the ingenuity of structural mechanics.

Gradually, Song Ciwan no longer felt as if she were undergoing Foundation Establishment. Instead, she felt like she was playing a familiar sandbox-building game.

And when it came to games like this, Song Ciwan never got tired.

In the Cultivation Room, Song Ciwan sat cross-legged with her eyes tightly shut, her expression grave and earnest. Anyone who saw her would have no doubt she was engaged in a matter of utmost gravity.

No one could have guessed that she was completely in the zone, having the time of her life playing her "game."

She was even more motivated and having more fun than when she had constructed the panel for her Insight Technique.

Of course, her playful attitude aside, Foundation Establishment was indeed a serious and crucial matter worthy of her full attention.

An unknown amount of time passed, the days flowing by unnoticed within the Cultivation Room.

The Purple Ribbon Level Foundation Establishment Pill provided Song Ciwan with a nearly endless supply of energy, while the abundant Spiritual Qi in Earth No. 6 Cultivation Room gave her more than enough Five Elements Essence.

She continuously absorbed Spiritual Qi to build the world within her Dantian. Gradually, her entire aura shifted from clear and ethereal to imposing and profound.

The Sutra of Sitting and Forgetting lay dormant throughout her entire body, silently flowing through her Eight Extraordinary Meridians without interfering in the slightest with the construction of the world in her Dantian.

But the True Qi formed by the Sutra of Sitting and Forgetting was like a silent, invisible army surrounding her world. And if you thought it was truly invisible, you would be gravely mistaken.

After all, that which lies dormant is often the most powerful.

You never know when it will suddenly spring forth to protect everything!

Finally, Song Ciwan had constructed the Treasure Tower in her Dantian to a height of nine stories. Just as she was about to build a tenth, she suddenly felt a tremor in her soul.

In that instant, Song Ciwan opened her eyes in a daze. Her Foundation Establishment was complete!

Yes, her Foundation Establishment was complete. It had all been so wondrous, like waking from a dream.
