Wang Feng's eyes bore into Fu Shen, "so... Are you willing to give up your cultivation, give up all your hard work, give up all your time spent?.... Give up your freedom?"
Fu Shen remained frozen for a good few seconds. His thoughts crunched and his nails dug into his skin, blood dripping from his hands. He looked into Wang Feng's eyes with his own reddened eyes— ones filled with unbreakable resolve.
'Am I? Am I willing to make such a decision? Could I even advance like Brother Feng..?', Fu Shen thought with glazed eyes.
"If... That is what it takes... I am. I am ready.", Fu Shen spoke softly after a minute of silence.
The air froze
After a few seconds, Wang Feng smiled and leaned back against the tree and looked at Fu Shen, "You really surprised me, Brother Shen..."
Wang Feng was inwardly pleased. For a second there, he though Fu Shen would back out, but Fu Shen surprisingly held firm.
"Alright, if you're so resolved... Then sit down.", Wang Feng continued and told Fu Shen to sit in front of him in a lotus position.
As Fu Shen followed Wang Feng's command. Wang Feng stood up from his place and stood behind Fu Shen— placing a hand on his back.
"Prepare yourself. Don't resist and memorize the flow of your energy.", Wang Feng muttered and immediately started sending his Qi Essence (what he had named this purified Qi) into Fu Shen's body— revolving it according to the Path Transitioning Technique he had developed.
'Fu Shen, Since you are the first person who I am transitioning... I will give you a gift..', Wang Feng thought inwardly.
Fu Shen was shocked when he felt the great and pure Qi enter his body. But he was even more shocked when the Qi started guiding his Qi in an unusual rythem.
The Qi entered his body, invading his Dantian and started drawing his Qi out forcefully— which Fu Shen had to grind his teeth, feeling a burning pain all over his Qi pathways.
His entire Qi reserves were drained out in seconds, running rampantly in his body, making him groan.

Looking at his inventory, Wang Feng looked at the Foundation Pills, the surplus was because of him breaking through Foundation Realm. But he wasn't looking for it. He was looking for the things that were helpful in this situation.

REALM MISSIONS
1) Reach Foundation Realm ✓
[Reward: Foundation Building Pills x10]
...
———————————————————
{I previously forgot to add this reward in the Building Foundation chapter}
He decisively took out the 5 Body Tempering Pills— which he had gained from Xia Ning Chang when he was still in the Body Forging Realm.
He stuffed one pill into Fu Shen's mouth and used his Qi to dissolve the pill instantly— forcefully extracting the Medical effects.
The effects were immediate...
Wang Feng had to start Fu Shen's Transition from the beginning, meaning the Body Forging Realm.
According to his Cultivation System, Fu Shen had the First Stages (1-3) of the Body Forging Realm, which was to temper the body to Peak Human level. So Wang Feng looked towards his Meridians— which were Stages (4-6).
He made the energy — Fu Shen's Qi, His Qi Essence and the Medical Energy of the Body Tempering Pills— flow into Fu Shen's Meridians. Fu Shen grunted and the sound of his teeth grinding was loud.
Fu Shen suddenly started feeling a throbbing pain in his Meridians, as if every inch of his Meridians were being poked through by sharp needles— puncturing them— which wasn't far off.
Wang Feng filled his Meridians to the brim— beyond it's capacity, straining them, he allowed the energy to thrash around— before he utilized the overbearing surge of energy rapidly healed any damage to the Meridians.
Wang Feng saw the rapid flow of energy quickly strengthen the Maridians to the optimal level within a few minutes— Fu Shen's Qi being absorbed into the Meridians, rapidly assimilating into them. Wang Feng's overbearing energy thrashing around and destroying the limits of the Meridians. The Medical Energy working as the Nurturer, accelerating both the destruction and Healing of the Meridians.
This was only possible because Wang Feng was forcefully controlling all process to the extreme. He was in complete control of Fu Shen's Qi— which was powerless against his Qi Essence. While he was forcibly exhausting the Medical Energy of the pill — reducing it's effect from an hour to just a few minutes— to make the Healing speed keep up with the Destruction speed.
After five minutes passed and the medical effect wore off, Wang Feng fed him another pill and did the same. He precieved the quantity of Fu Shen's Qi and calculated— finding out that only 80% of his Qi was left.
It took just fifteen minutes for Fu Shen's Maridians to reach the appropriate level of Peak Stage 6— with 55% of Fu Shen's Qi remaining.
Wang Feng took out 2 Qi gathering pills and the remaining Body Tempering Pill and stuffen them into Fu Shen's mouth again— who was too focused on enduring the pain in his body to do anything else.
'heh, you better not waste my investment in the future Brother Shen...'
Feeling that this should be enough, Wang Feng changed the course of all the energies in Fu Shen's Body. Condensing 3 of Fu Shen's Pulses simultaneously!
The Qi swirled towards the meridians and started constructing the pulses with unparalleled speed. It took just a few more minutes for the three pulses to form and fill up— leaving him still with 17% Qi. Seeing this, Wang Feng started condensing two more pulses— but these pulses were different, these two pulses were thin like threads, meaning that they still needed to be nurtured.
Having finally found finished Fu Shen's Qi reserves, Wang Feng sighed and withdrew his hand before walking around Fu Shen and sitting cross-legged in front of him— in his initial place, against the tree.
Fu Shen was still sitting with his eyes closed, his entire attention on his body while his Qi cultivation technique ran vigorously to recover his reserves. For this, Wang Feng didn't help nor did he say anything, he just sat there and observed.
'Fu Shen.... I've given you a path... You better not disappoint me..', Wang Feng thought with his eyes flashing with an unusual light.
Initially, he had thought of making Fu Shen take a Heavenly Dao Oath, but he eventually scraped the idea. Because currently, what he needed was volunteered subordinates, who follow his commands with their own violation, not the ones who worked under the pressure of an Oath that could kill them any time.
'his combat strength should be at 3rd stage Qi Transformation by now', Wang Feng calculated and took out a Heaven Grade Qi Essence Pill. Since he has broken through Foundation Realm and transformed his Qi into Essence, Wang Feng could now use these Qi Essence Pills without any fear of overloading his body.
The Qi entered his mouth and quickly turned into a stream of pure Qi Essence and restored the Qi Essence he had just used during the process.
It took an hour for Fu Shen to wake up from his cultivation state. Wang Feng looked at Fu Shen— observing his astonished, excited and incredible expressions.
Fu Shen carefully sensed his body and his current strength. 'Although I am still in the same realm, my strength is much stronger than before!', he gulped and looked up at Wang Feng, his gaze holding a sense of awe and gratitude.
Wang Feng spoke, "Fu Shen..", his voice calm and deep, his eyes shining with a golden glow, making Fu Shen instantly straighten up, "What you have gained isn't something simple."
"You should know that just from observing your situation, right?", Fu Shen nodded as he heard Wang Feng's words seriously. Wang Feng continued with the same intense look, "but... That is just the start!"
"You will continue to grow stronger and be much stronger than anyone not using this method. The path you have chosen isn't a Technique! it isn't a Forbidden Art! It is a System! A Cultivation Path to the Peak!", Wang Feng's words echoed in the world. The sky darkened and thunder roared in the sky.
Fu Shen trembled as goosebumps tremored his body, his eyes wide, his breath quick, his palms clinched, "A ... Cultivation Path!?", he shouted incredulously. His head throbbed, numerous questions popping in his mind.
Wang Feng smirked, "yes, a cultivation path... made by myself.", Wang Feng's ordinary words dropped like a heaven shattering strike in Fu Shen's mind.
He had imagined Wang Feng to have a technique or special treasure that made him strong... But this! He never could have imagined it! But... 'how did Brother Feng do it?? And will I truly be stronger than anyone not using this 'system'', he wondered.
Wang Feng saw the incredulous look and just smiled, "If you have a doubt... You already have a live example in front of you, don't you?", Fu Shen froze.
Yes. A living, breathing example of Wang Feng's words was in front of him— WangFeng himself. Fu Shen trembled, from the aura on Wang Feng, anyone could tell his realm was (comparable to) 5th Stage Qi Transformation Realm. But his true strength had reached a terrifying High True Element Realm!
Wang Feng looked at the changing expressions of Fu Shen, which finally settled on him with a look of worship and fiery intensity.
Wang Feng talked with Fu Shen for an hour, telling him about the Cultivation Path up till Foundation Realm and guiding him with the Pulse Condensing Technique. But unlike with Xia Ning Chang and Meng Wu Ya, Wang Feng didn't tell Fu Shen about the Hidden Realms or anything revolving it, only telling him about the general realms. After all, Wang Feng wouldn't just tell such precious information, not to mention that Fu Shen's talent... Wasn't great.
According to Wang Feng, the upper limit of Fu Shen's talent could only be Nascent Soul Realm, not even reaching the threshold of SPIRIT REALMS, unless something amazing happened...
After sending Fu Shen away, Wang Feng sighed and looked towards the horizon. He muttered, "Display All Missions."
