Once the lotus platform stabilized and nothing special happened, Yang Wei then retracted from his soul form.
Opening his eyes slowly, Yang Wei showed an ecstatic expression.
"Congratulations on forming your lotus platform, Yang Wei." Elder Shan smiled blissfully as she congratulated him.
Yang Wei stood up as he bowed toward her. "It's all thanks to Elder Shan's tea that I was able to form the lotus platform successfully."
Elder Shan shook her head.
"No, it should be me thanking you for broadening my vision. Otherwise, I'm going to be a laughingstock in front of Jing Feng." She then said.
Sometime later, Elder Shan asked, "So Yang Wei, do you understand the Foundation Core realm?"
"Uhh, it's the second realm after the Qi Condensation realm." Yang Wei replied unconsciously.
"And what else?"
"The Foundation Core realm is where a cultivator stabilized his core for a more stable foundation when he absorbed an abundant amount of spiritual qi in their core."
Elder Shan nodded her head at his answer. "Indeed, the Foundation Core realm is mainly about stabilizing a cultivator's core."
"But how do the cultivators actually stabilize their core?" She added.

'The cultivation world is truly vast. There's so much information that I can't even memorize all of them.' Yang Wei exclaimed inwardly as he wondered if the school on Earth was much easier.
Yang Wei then glanced at Elder Shan and shook his head.
"I'm not really sure how to stabilize a core, Elder Shan. It wasn't recorded in any of the manuals when I tried to search for it in the sect library." He answered honestly.
Since Elder Shan took the time to ask him questions, it means Elder Shan must be trying to impart to him some crucial knowledge about his realm.
"Yang Wei, the first process of the Foundation Core realm is transforming your spherical core into a lotus platform." Elder Shan began explaining.
"To form a lotus platform is an arduous and dangerous task. Most cultivators failed to form a lotus platform ever in their lifetime because of the immense difficulty."
"That is because if any mishaps were to occur when their core started cracking down, they could possibly lose their life altogether. After all, without a core to store the essence of the spiritual qi, there is no way to cultivate at all."
Elder Shan paused briefly for a moment to check if Yang Wei was following her. "So, do you understand why not many cultivators are able to surpass the Foundation Core realm and why many of them wished to join a sect?"
Yang Wei nodded his head.
"It's because they needed a sufficient amount of resources to pass through the transformation stage to minimize the rate of failure." He added.
Elder Shan smiled at his response. "Correct, everybody only gets one chance unless they are extremely lucky to survive even after their core is shattered into pieces."
And she continued, "Right now you have formed a lotus platform successfully, meaning you are above at least 75% of the cultivators in the Phoenix Kingdom."
"Wasn't it all thanks to the tea you gave me?" Yang Wei didn't dare to take credit for something he didn't do.
In his mind, the only reason why his lotus platform formed successfully without any obstacles was thanks to Elder Shan's Soul Revering Tea.
He couldn't even imagine how costly or rare the Soul Revering Tea was.
"Although the Soul Revering Tea is a boost to help you succeed, it's all your effort in the end." Elder Shan said.
Afterward, Elder Shan showed Yang Wei a picture of a lotus platform with 9 petals blooming.
"That's the complete and thorough stage of a Foundation Core realm, Yang Wei." Elder Shan explained.
"Complete and thorough…" Yang Wei muttered in a low tone.
He then glanced at Elder Shan with a dumbfounded expression.
"Could this mean that not many cultivators can bloom 9 petals before they breakthrough to the next realm?" Yang Wei asked.
Elder Shan smirked as she nodded her head. "Indeed, a cultivator's talent and luck are dependent on how many petals they can bloom. Of course, many strived to obtain the unachievable 9 petals but not everyone is a cultivator's talent and has unimaginable luck, right?"
"How many petals did you manage to bloom, Elder Shan?"
Elder Shan gave a complicated look.
'How many huh... ' She thought to herself at the time when she was still struggling at the Foundation Core realm.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"It has been a long time since I was asked about how many petals I manage to bloom." Elder Shan muttered as she gave Yang Wei an amiable look.
"I'm not as talented as others so I could only form 5 petals." She then said.
Yang Wei was dumbfounded at her tone of speech. "Elder Shan is still unparalleled since 7 petals is an unimaginable feat here."
Yang Wei tried to cheer her up since Elder Shan doesn't seem quite happy with the fact that she formed 7 petals.
However, based on Elder Shan's explanation before, some cultivators could barely even form 1 petal before they rushed toward the next realm.
Meanwhile, Elder Shan sighed softly as she sat down on the couch.
"Do you even know how many petals Jing Feng bloom?" Elder Shan asked rhetorically as she answered her own question. "Jing Feng was able to bloom 8 petals. Do you see the difference between us?"
Yang Wei was awestruck by the achievement that Elder Jing managed to do.
"Heavens… 8 petals…" Yang Wei muttered in a low tone.
"8 petals... All she needed was one extra step to go toward the unimaginable 9 petals." Elder Shan sighed.
"Are you jealous of her?"
"Jealous? No, I'm pissed that she threw away her chance of obtaining 9 petals for a mere scumbag."
Elder Shan's expression turned ferocious as she gnashed her teeth.
"For that piece of shit, Jing Feng lost her chance to form the last and final petals in her lotus platform."
