Chapter 473: The Gathering.

Yang Dao did not know that the world outside his cultivation room was bustling with activity and the center of it all was him. The boy was currently sitting on a mat and focusing on compressing the spirit energy into liquid spiritual essence. 

The threshold of breaking through to the first stage of the spirit formation realm was to compress one drop of spiritual essence. This realm also had nine stages, each requiring a different quantity of spiritual essence to classify the strength. One drop of spiritual essence was fifty times stronger than spirit energy circulating inside the body. 

The first stage of spiritual formation needed the cultivator to have one hundred drops of spiritual essence inside the dantian, the second needed one thousand, the third needed ten thousand, the fourth needed fifty thousand, sixth needed a hundred thousand. Now, this was where things became tricky.
