Chapter 6

Cultivation has 5 steps, each Step, Level, and Stage which increases the psychical and spiritual capabilities of cultivators.

The First Step, The purpose of this step is to build a foundation for obtaining natural law in the second step.

9-% of cultivators get stuck on the first step, some for having bodies or souls unfit for cultivation or others speeding through the process and not having a stable amount of Qi gathered.

The first step is divided into 9 stages.

Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Soul Formation, Ascendant, and the last 2 stages are a part of the Transitional Level, Illusory Yin, and Corporeal Yang.

Most Cultivators get such at the Nascent Soul stage.

The purpose of the Qi Condensation stage is to gather Spiritual Energy from the heavens and earth.

This is divided into a standard 15 layers, but a person can gather more layers depending on their body and soul.

The Major bottlenecks are the 3rd to 4th or 5th to 6th on every ten layers.

Seeing this is the end of the Qi Condensation section, Feng Mian decided to stop reading there, it would be useless knowledge to read any further.

After seeing the first sentence, Feng Mian had a feeling to stop reading but decided to just read what the first step is for, although she had a feeling what it was for, one couldn't be sure.

Upon reading the word foundation, Feng Mian pictured her neighbourhood and the conflict her grandmother had with it on earth.

Her grandmother just finished building her house there as she was pregnant with her mother, she bought the land 4 years ago, since then she has been building it completely.

Now, the neighbors usually showed off who got the better furniture, silverware, and such, after seeing her grandmother took so long to build a house there and buying seemingly ugly furniture with no beautiful looking decoration.

The gossiping, mocking, taunting then began.

But not long after, a person offered a 'pardnaship' a system where person A gives someone money for a duration of time, and person B has to give however much money person A asked for, but the limit is 110% of the amount Person A lent to person B lent, naturally, her grandmother refused.

By that time, everyone had an in on that system, seeing her reject, they all felt she was too good for them, and thus even further mocking and gossiping.

After a couple of months, her grandmother's house was fully furnished and everything, but not a day later, a hurricane came in and stayed for about 5 weeks.

Decimating almost any landscape there.

Leaving only her grandmother's house fully intact, while everyone else got blown away with the rain and winds.

Everyone looking for money to fix this issue of being homeless looked towards their pardaship but all of person Bs ran away with the money, skipping town.

Everyone moneyless and homeless looked towards her grandmother for help, but before she could refuse, someone pointed out the type of furniture she had, it was the most expensive and durable type of wood you could find at the time, seeing everyone had hopeful expressions but was swiftly disappointed when her grandmother filed for a restraining order for everyone there.

Remember this event, Feng Mian smiled to herself, and said,

"I will have the best Foundation anyone could have, even the gods will tremble in fear as they see it!"
