Li Wei sat cross-legged on his bed, his eyes closed in deep meditation. The room was quiet, the only sound the soft hum of energy emanating from his body. He had spent the past hours preparing himself mentally and physically for this pivotal moment. The Foundation Establishment Pill lay before him, glowing softly with an ethereal light.
He took a deep breath, calming his mind and focusing on the task ahead. This was a significant step in his cultivation journey, one that would solidify his foundation and propel him to new heights. With a sense of resolve, he picked up the pill and swallowed it.
Almost immediately, Li Wei felt a surge of energy coursing through his body. The power of the pill was immense, and he struggled to maintain his focus as it spread through his meridians. His Qi roared to life, responding to the potent infusion.
He directed the energy towards his dantian, where the translucent white energy vortex of Dream Qi resided. The energy from the pill fed into the vortex, causing it to spin faster and glow brighter. Li Wei concentrated, guiding the flow of energy with precision and control.
As the energy of the pill intensified, Li Wei felt a profound change within his dantian. The energy vortex began to condense, producing tiny droplets of a white ethereal liquid. These droplets were pure Dream Qi, more potent and refined than anything he had experienced before.
The droplets gathered at the bottom of his dantian, gradually forming a small, shimmering lake. The process was both exhilarating and exhausting, as the energy from the pill continued to surge through him, pushing the limits of his endurance.
Despite the overwhelming power, Li Wei remained focused, using the techniques from the Myriad Dreams Scripture to guide the transformation. The lake of Dream Qi grew larger with each passing moment, its surface smooth and reflective, like a mirror of his soul.
As the lake reached its full size, the energy vortex within his dantian began to descend. Li Wei could feel the vortex merging with the lake, the two energies intertwining and becoming one. The process was seamless, a perfect union of power and stability.
The vortex sank deeper into the lake, until it was completely submerged. Li Wei felt a profound sense of completion and balance as the transformation concluded. The lake of Dream Qi was now his foundation, a reservoir of immense power and potential.
He took a deep breath, feeling the steady, rhythmic pulse of energy within his dantian. The Dream Qi was more potent than ever, its effects radiating through his entire being. He felt stronger, more focused, and more attuned to the Dao.
Li Wei opened his eyes, a sense of clarity and peace washing over him. The room seemed brighter, the colors more vivid. He could feel the Dream Qi flowing effortlessly through his meridians, its power amplifying his senses and abilities.
He stood up, feeling the newfound strength in his body. The Foundation Establishment stage had elevated him to a new level of cultivation, and he was eager to explore his enhanced capabilities. He performed a series of martial forms, his movements fluid and precise, the Moonshadow Sword an extension of his will.
The power coursing through him was exhilarating, and he knew that he was now a minor powerhouse within Greenbrook. But more than that, he felt a deep sense of harmony and connection with the Dao, the foundation of his journey now solid and secure.
Excited to share his success, Li Wei made his way to Su Mei’s shop. She greeted him with a smile, her eyes widening as she sensed the change in his energy.
“You’ve done it, haven’t you?” she asked, her voice filled with awe.
Li Wei nodded, a broad smile on his face. “Yes, I’ve reached Foundation Establishment. The pill worked perfectly.”
Su Mei clasped his hands, her expression one of genuine happiness. “I’m so proud of you, Li Wei. This is a significant achievement.”
They spent the next hour discussing the transformation and its effects. Su Mei offered her insights and advice, her experience proving invaluable as always. She also hinted at new opportunities and challenges that lay ahead, her eyes twinkling with excitement.
With the foundation of his cultivation now firmly established, Li Wei felt ready to face whatever challenges the future held. The small city of Greenbrook had become the starting point of his journey, and he was determined to make the most of every opportunity.
He returned to the inn, meditating and reflecting on the path ahead. The Myriad Dreams Scripture had guided him well so far, and he trusted it would continue to do so. The journey to enlightenment and mastery of the Dao was long and arduous, but Li Wei felt more prepared than ever.
As he closed his eyes and focused on the Dream Qi within him, he felt a profound sense of purpose and determination. The future was filled with endless possibilities, and Li Wei was ready to explore them all.
The small lake of Dream Qi within his dantian was a symbol of his progress and potential. With the Moonshadow Sword at his side, the guidance of the Myriad Dreams Scripture, and the support of his allies, Li Wei felt confident in his ability to navigate the challenges of this world. His path was becoming clearer, and he was determined to make the most of every opportunity that came his way.
As he drifted off to sleep, his dreams were filled with visions of new adventures, fierce battles, and the endless possibilities that lay ahead. The journey was just beginning, and Li Wei was ready to embrace it fully.
