Chapter 49: Awakening! Impacting the Foundation

  Yang Tong's card still had over 300 million spiritual coins, and this resource could still be afforded.

  "Alright, I'll go prepare now." Li Fangxin stood up and personally went to prepare the spiritual energy room and other auxiliary resources.

  Yang Tong waited for about ten minutes before Li Fangxin walked in with a smile and said, "Alright, Yang young master, when are you going into the Spiritual Energy Room?"

  "So soon?" Yang Tong was quite surprised and thought to himself, "Indeed, it's good to have someone backing you up in the imperial court."

  "Hehe, all the materials are readily available, as long as you pay for them. The spiritual energy room is also empty and can be opened at any time." Li Fangxin replied with a smile.

  "Thank you, Lord Li, for your help." Yang Tong said very politely. "I'll go to the practice room now to prepare. But before that, I want to send a message back home to let them know."

  "Alright, I'll take you to the transmission room." Li Fangxin led Yang Tong up to the third floor, where there was a public transmission room with over 500 transmission arrays.

  After Yang Tong arrived in Luoxing City, he discovered that the communication technology of this world was not as backward as he had imagined. Although "mobile communication technology" required a land level or higher to use, ordinary people could also use fixed communication technology. It's like this transmission array, by opening this array and entering the mouth code of another communication array you want to connect with, you can make video calls and communicate, or simply make voice calls.

  Yang Tong's new home also installed a transmission array. For this reason, there are specialized simple public transmission arrays on the main streets.

  Yang Tong sent a message back home saying that he would be staying in the spiritual energy room of the Mercenary Guild to cultivate and wouldn't be returning home for the next few days.

  After a while, Yang Tong ended the call and walked out.

  "Are you done explaining? Let's go, remember that when we're impacting the Earth level, there may be various factors such as hallucinations that affect us. It's best to get our state to its peak before proceeding. I don't need to teach you how to impact the Earth level, do I?" Li Fangxin reminded him on the way.

  "I understand, thank you for reminding me, Lord Li." Yang Tong nodded and replied.

  Li Fangxin sent Yang Tong to the 15th floor. The reason for setting up the practice room here is that it is the highest, with a direct view of the sky and abundant spiritual energy. Moreover, this place is the safest, because right below the practice room are the high-level offices of the Mercenary Guild, where masters gather like clouds.

  These masters are like free bodyguards, allowing those who enter the training room to train with extra peace of mind about safety issues outside, and also focus more on impacting the Earth level.

  Yang Tong entered the practice room and immediately felt a distinct difference from the outside. He took a deep breath and sighed, "So much spiritual energy!"

  "It's fine, this spiritual energy level is enough for you to break through." Lu Bao's voice sounded, "When you break through later, it's best to adjust your state well, don't be nervous, you are different from those people outside. Those people outside cultivate up to the ninth level of Qi Refining, but they only accumulate energy for a breakthrough in building their foundation. You cultivate the 'Jade Clear Secret Record', which cultivates both internal and external energy. Even if this attempt is unsuccessful, it won't affect your foundation, and you can continue to make another attempt next time. Keeping a calm mind is most important."

  Yang Tong nodded and began to meditate in the cultivation room. The cultivation room seemed isolated from the outside world, but that was not the case. The top of the cultivation room was open, with only an array seal used to enclose it. By lifting his head, he could see through the array seal and gaze at the sky.

  The Mercenary Guild absorbed all the spiritual energy within hundreds of miles, while the entire Luoxing City was absorbing spiritual energy from millions of miles away. A large human city is itself a massive spirit gathering array, and within its range of influence, it's extremely difficult for barbaric beasts to become stronger.

  Yang Tong began to prepare, first with the auxiliary type of body strengthening ointment. This stuff needs to be applied all over the skin, and it can not only strengthen the body but also increase the speed and amount of spiritual energy absorbed by the skin, opening up the pores. The Mind-Enhancing Pill is taken when breaking through to the Earth level, three pills at a time, to enhance willpower and resist illusions. The Spirit Ascension Water needs to be poured into a pool, and the whole person soaks in it, which can increase the breakthrough rate by 10%. The first two things are basically affordable for every apprentice martial artist, but the Spirit Ascension Water is only available for purchase after becoming an outer member of the Mercenary Guild, and it's extremely expensive. At least one liter is needed to be effective.

  On the black market, this bottle of Revival Water costs one million spirit coins per liter, double the normal price, and is extremely hard to come by.

  Pour the ascension water into a specially built pool in the practice room, which is not large and can only hold a volume of ten liters. After pouring everything into the pool, Yang Tong took off his clothes, wiped off the refining cream, and sat quietly, abandoning miscellaneous thoughts.

  Time slowly passed by...

  Until the third night, just on the full moon night, Yang Tong woke up from his meditation, feeling a sense of fullness throughout his body, and his state was also elevated to its peak. He swallowed three spirit-reviving pills, jumped into the pool water, with only his head exposed outside the pool. His body and mind felt a refreshing sensation, followed by a sudden expansion of his spiritual awareness.

  Yang Tongyun activated the heart method of "Yu Qing Secret Records" and started to impact the foundation. Although there was no extraordinary effect produced by the Foundation Establishment Pill from the inside out, these three modern auxiliary items also had an effect.

  The essence of the moon was being frantically absorbed by Yang Tong, refined into true energy, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to surge into Yang Tong's body. The spiritual power and nutrients contained in the Ascending Spirit Water were also surging frantically into Yang Tong's body.

  "Ka——" Yang Tong seemed to feel something break, and then a rush of pleasure came, letting Yang Tong's whole person become intoxicated, followed by hallucinations in his mind, the effect of the promotion pill and Yang Tong's strong willpower remained unmoved.

  The breakthrough is still ongoing, the moon falls and the sun rises, at the moment when the purple air is filled with the rising of the first light.

  A clear and visible spiritual vortex appeared above the high-rise building of the Mercenary Guild.

  The early-rising staff of the Mercenary Guild and the mercenaries who came early, as well as the people around the Mercenary Guild who got up early, were all drawn in by this phenomenon.

  These city dwellers are all too familiar with such scenes.

  The boss and waiters who sell breakfast are all looking at the sky with envy.

  People who came to eat breakfast were talking to each other.

  "And which lucky guy is this, who has woken up."

  "Yes, it's been three years since this happened at the Mercenary Guild, right?"

  "No, that's not all. I've also heard that there hasn't been a new Awakened appearing in the city for two years now. Most of them are Awakened who moved here from the counties below."

  "Isn't this scene a bit too big?" asked a middle-aged man who had witnessed many awakenings of the Awakened Heaven.

  "It indeed looks more than twice as big." an old man replied on the other side.

  Some people said with extreme jealousy: "Isn't it just enlightenment? What's the big deal. Maybe one day I can too."

  Next to him was a young man who looked at the speaker, a middle-aged uncle over 40 years old, and sneered: "You? Uncle, you'd better come back next life."
