After Song Shubai finished counting the treasures he got from the treasury of the Wan family, he put those things back into the storage ring and storage bag, and then he began to refine the spiritual energy contained in those spirit stones to improve his cultivation.

There are no years of cultivation, and a year has passed in an instant.

"After a year of penance, I have consumed more than seven hundred spirit stones, and my cultivation has finally reached the perfection of qi refining!"

The biggest difference between the consummation of qi refining and the later stage of qi refining is that the mana accumulated in the dantian has increased exponentially, and Song Shubai has cultivated five spirit roots together, and the amount of mana he has accumulated in the dantian now is more than five times that of the single spirit root cultivator.

With such a huge amount of mana, under the same realm, almost no monk would be his opponent.

"The mana in my body now is not much less than that of some monks who have just entered the foundation building realm, but unfortunately I am still not the opponent of the foundation building monks!"

Song Shubai thought of the jade bone snake demon in Hanshuitan, and he was very clear in his heart about the gap between himself and the foundation building monk.

After the cultivator is promoted to the foundation building realm, in addition to the mana accumulated in the dantian will increase significantly, the most important thing is that these mana will be tempered by the spiritual root attribute in the body, and have the same characteristics as the spiritual root attribute in the body.

This made the power of the mana in the foundation building monk dantian extremely strong, and with the blessing of this mana, the power of the spells they released would also be greatly enhanced.

"After a Qi Refining Cultivator wants to be promoted to the Foundation Building Realm, he needs to refine the spiritual objects of the Five Elements and slowly transform the attributes of the mana in the dantian, and at the beginning, he must use the spiritual materials above the second order as a guide."

Song Shubai thought of the introduction of breaking through the foundation building realm in the Five Elements True Scripture, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

The Five Elements Sutra also lists five kinds of spiritual materials above the second order, and only by using these five spiritual materials above the second order can we build a better foundation.

It's a pity that the value of the five second-order spiritual materials recorded in the Five Elements True Scripture is not low, and there is none of them in Song Shubai's hands at present.

After a long time, Song Shubai let out a deep sigh from his mouth, and after suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his mind, he took out a spirit stone and began to continue cultivating.

Now that his cultivation has just reached the realm of Qi refining perfection, he is still some distance away from breaking through the foundation building realm.

What he needs to do next is to refine more aura and convert it into mana, and after the mana in the dantian can no longer be increased, it will not be too late for him to prepare for the promotion to the foundation building realm.

The amount of mana that needs to be accumulated in the dantian of the Qi Refining Perfection Realm is more, especially for a monk like Song Shubai who cultivates with five spirit roots, the amount of mana that needs to be accumulated is five times that of a single spirit root monk.

As long as the cultivator's comprehension is not particularly bad, he will basically not encounter any cultivation barriers in the Qi Refining Realm, and he can successfully cultivate to the Qi Refining Perfection Realm.

However, after the mana accumulation in the Qi Refining Perfection Realm Dantian was consummated, all the monks would encounter the cultivation barrier.

The cultivation barrier of a single spirit root monk is much lighter and thinner than that of a multi-spirit root monk, and it can basically be broken down very easily.

Like Song Shubai, the cultivation barrier of a multi-spiritual root monk will be much thicker, and it will be even more difficult to break through this cultivation barrier.

"Build a foundation realm of cultivation as a barrier!" Song Shubai's brows furrowed tightly, he had been cultivating for another year and a half, and had spent more than a thousand spirit stones, and the mana in the dantian could finally not continue to increase.

At this time, he finally sensed the cultivation barrier of the foundation realm!

Song Shubai's eyes closed, the power of his divine sense poured into the dantian, silently sensing the foundation barrier in the dantian, he only felt that there was a heavy mountain covering his dantian.

If the mana accumulated in his dantian wanted to increase again, the only way to do it was to shatter this heavy mountain-like foundation barrier.

After a long time, Song Shubai's divine consciousness returned to the sea of knowledge, and his closed eyes slowly opened.

"Metallic golden obsidian, wood-attribute 10,000-year-old wood core, water-attribute jellyfish elemental liquid, fire-attribute jade flow fire pith, earth-attribute mixed element earth spirit!"

Song Shubai muttered, the grades of these five five-element attribute spiritual materials are all in the second-order lower grade, but these five spiritual materials belong to the more cherished one among the second-order lower grade spiritual materials, which also causes their prices to be extremely expensive.

Those cultivators who cultivated a single-attribute spiritual root only needed to collect one second-order spiritual material when building a foundation, but now Song Shubai needed five copies of the five-element attribute spiritual material, which was five times that of the cultivator with a single-attribute spiritual root.

"No wonder the Five Spirit Root Cultivators are now rated as the worst cultivation qualifications!"

Song Shubai sighed lightly, in addition to the cultivation resources consumed by the cultivators of the Five Elements Spirit Root five times as much as they cultivated, this cultivation barrier was also thicker than that of a single Spirit Root, which greatly increased the difficulty of their cultivation promotion.

"Next, if I want to improve my cultivation further, I can only break the cultivation barrier of the foundation building realm, but before that, I need to collect enough golden obsidian these five second-order low-grade spiritual materials!"

Song Shubai stood up from the ground, he did not leave the cave of the foundation monks, but looked into the depths of the cave.

For more than two years, he has been active in the small area of the elixir garden in the cave, and the depths of the elixir garden are still resisted by the power of the cave's formation, and he has spent all his time improving his cultivation over the years, and he has not broken the formation in the depths of the cave.

"Now it's time to break the formation!"

Song Shubai raised his feet and walked towards the stone bridge, the four cracks he had broken on the stone bridge before had now been repaired by the power of the formation, he needed to re-observe the direction of the aura of the cave formation before he could think about how to break the formation.

A touch of spiritual light emerged from Song Shubai's palm, and he hit this spiritual light towards the stone bridge, and after an instant, the formation of the cave mansion was aroused.

Song Shubai immediately controlled a wisp of divine consciousness surging out, carefully sensing the trajectory of the aura in this formation.

Time passed slowly, and after Song Shubai observed for nearly an hour, he took back the wisp of spiritual sense he had released, and he also had a rough plan in his heart for how to break the formation.

Song Shubai retreated back into the elixir garden, he took out a large pile of materials from the storage ring, and began to use these materials to refine the array flags needed to break the formation.

His current cultivation has been promoted to Qi Refining Consummation, and now he does not lack the materials of the first-order superb refining array banner in his hands, so the grade of the Breaking Formation Formation Banner he refined this time has also reached the first-order perfection.

This grade of array flag is the first time Song Shubai has refined, although he has built the refining process of this kind of array flag several times in his brain, but when he really starts refining, there are still some problems.

Now it took nearly three months for him to refine all the sixteen array flags needed to break the formation.

"Sixteen first-order supreme array flags, in addition to breaking through the formation in this cave mansion, with the help of special terrain, it can also form a smoke cloud array, and even a monk in the early stage of foundation building will not be able to come out of the formation at that time!"
