Chapter 39: A First-Grade Foundation Establishment Spirit Object is Not for Me, I Want the Heavenly
Chapter 39: A First-Grade Foundation Establishment Spirit Object is Not for Me, I Want the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment!
The next day, Qi Yuan was still in a deep slumber.
Suddenly, a crisp voice rang out.
"Senior Brother, when did you return?"
Qi Yuan woke up from his dream, startled.
He quickly tidied up and stepped out of the room, still looking drowsy.
"I came back last night," he said, glancing at Jiang Ling Su, "Junior Sister, how did you know I was back? Did you sneak a peek at me sleeping?"
Jiang Ling Su was exasperated.
She really wanted to say that when she woke up this morning, she found her yard's trash pile had been rummaged through.
But she held back, not wanting to hurt Senior Brother's pride.
She calmly replied, "Senior Brother, isn't your knife still tied up in the yard?"
She looked at the knife, secured by a rope like a pet.
Qi Yuan examined the knife, his expression filled with suspicion.
During the annihilation of the Black Mountain Sect, he had gained a lot.
Of course, his greatest acquisition was the Black Mountain Sect's library, which Qi Yuan had emptied.
As for the spirit stones and other spirit objects, he had fled in such a hurry that he hadn't taken much.
Nevertheless, even with this, the acquired spirit objects were valuable, and the knife had feasted on them.
After all, Qi Yuan had just reached the strength of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
His ability to slay Essence Core cultivators was entirely due to the knife's power.
It was like in the 'Investiture of the Gods' where there was a powerful magical treasure that allowed for direct challenges beyond one's level.
Qi Yuan was in a similar situation.
In the short term, even if he used up all the spirit stones, the power he could gain was limited.
What he lacked the most were cultivation techniques and Foundation Establishment.
So, he used most of the spirit stones and treasures on the knife, enhancing its strength.
Now, the knife was even more formidable.
Qi Yuan, wielding the knife, could directly confront late-stage Essence Core cultivators who were not proficient in their Dao techniques.
After feeding it so many spirit stones and spirit objects...
Why was it still...? Qi Yuan felt like covering his face.
Could it be that a dog couldn't change its habit of eating feces, and a knife couldn't stop rummaging through trash? Or perhaps, was his junior sister's trash pile richer than his?
Seeing that Qi Yuan remained silent, Jiang Ling Su continued, "Senior Brother, didn't you go for Foundation Establishment? Did you succeed?"
She looked at Qi Yuan, as if searching for something.
Hearing this, Qi Yuan's expression immediately fell.
"I... failed. Alas, a First-Grade Foundation Establishment spirit object is too difficult for Foundation Establishment. It's just..."
Jiang Ling Su sighed inwardly.
The higher the grade of a Foundation Establishment spirit object, the stronger the cultivator's power after Foundation Establishment, and the greater the probability of future breakthroughs. However, for cultivators, a higher-grade Foundation Establishment spirit object isn't always better.
If one's talent is insufficient, attempting Foundation Establishment with a high-grade spirit object can lead to failure.
The Great Dao has fifty paths, and Heaven's mysteries are divided into four nines.
Even with the lowest-grade Foundation Establishment spirit object, there is still a chance to reach the peak.
Most ordinary cultivators don't use high-grade Foundation Establishment spirit objects.
The most suitable one is the best.
One of the Supreme Elders in Jiang Ling Su's clan used an eighth-grade Foundation Establishment spirit object for Foundation Establishment, which was quite embarrassing. But that Supreme Elder was among the top three in terms of strength within the clan.
"Senior Brother, don't force it. The most suitable Foundation Establishment spirit object is the best."
"The Golden Flower Fruit is a first-grade Foundation Establishment spirit object, but... it's just so-so." Jiang Ling Su comforted him.
Hearing this, Qi Yuan nodded in agreement. "You're right. The Golden Flower Fruit isn't suitable for me. I want the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment!"
Jiang Ling Su: "..."
She herself had only achieved Foundation Establishment through Earth Pulse, and it was of the lower third grade.
As for Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment?
Jiang Ling Su had never even seen such a genius.
After all, only those with Nascent Souls could capture the essence of the Heavenly Pulse, and even then, it wasn't guaranteed.
Only by cultivating to the Yin God realm could one give birth to a Nascent Soul, wandering through various realms and soaring in the vastness of the cosmos.
The Nascent Soul here was vastly different from the spiritual consciousness and soul that Jiang Ling Su was familiar with.
Senior Brother really dared to think big.
Without a powerful Yin or Yang God in his ancestry, he still wanted to attempt the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment?
However, Jiang Ling Su glanced at the palace on the Seven-Colored Peak, deep in thought.
"Senior Brother, this is the Essence Law Pill. It can stabilize your cultivation energy. You just failed to breakthrough, and your cultivation energy is unstable. You need to take one of these to temporarily continue your breakthrough."
"It... it's not expensive. It's a family specialty, and it only costs a few Spirit Stones." Jiang Ling Su extended her slender hand, holding a delicate white porcelain bottle containing a pill.
Qi Yuan was stunned for a moment. "Junior Sister, are you my dream come true?"
She always seemed to pull out strange things from her sleeves.
"Huh?" Jiang Ling Su was puzzled by Qi Yuan's strange words.
Qi Yuan took the Essence Law Pill.
[This is the Essence Law Pill. When a cultivator fails to establish their foundation, their cultivation energy becomes chaotic. To prepare for the next breakthrough, they need to refine their cultivation energy.
The Essence Law Pill stabilizes and replenishes cultivation energy, capable of filling the energy equivalent of ten high-grade Spirit Stones.
However, this Essence Law Pill still has many flaws and can be improved.]
Qi Yuan was shocked.
Filling the energy equivalent of ten high-grade Spirit Stones?
That would be a thousand low-grade Spirit Stones!
This Essence Law Pill only cost a few Spirit Stones, but they were high-grade ones.
Qi Yuan looked at Jiang Ling Su and said, "Junior Sister, I understand your intentions. From now on, if anyone dares to harm you, I'll be your shield!"
She was truly wealthy!
He must hold onto this golden opportunity... no, her slender white legs! Jiang Ling Su smiled lightly, "Senior Brother, you should take care of yourself first. I don't want to see you get hurt."
Jiang Ling Su was like any ordinary person among the masses, with many strengths and also some weaknesses.
Of course, she wasn't ordinary; she had a lot of money.
Thinking of something, Jiang Ling Su's eyes became serious, "It's a good thing Senior Brother, you're back. Yesterday, the Black Mountain Sect was annihilated, and I fear that the entire Great Shang Kingdom will undergo great changes!"
"What? The Black Mountain Sect was annihilated?" Qi Yuan widened his eyes, feeling that his acting skills were excellent, allowing him to earn a small golden core, "Who was the culprit, and did they use a sword or a knife?"
"Senior Brother, your concerns are rather strange," Jiang Ling Su suddenly stared at Qi Yuan, "Could the annihilation of the Black Mountain Sect be related to you?"
Qi Yuan's heart sank upon hearing this. His exquisite acting skills were exposed, "It's not me! I swear!"
"You seem nervous. Could it really be you?" Jiang Ling Su burst into laughter, but she didn't take it seriously.
Senior Brother was eccentric, obsessed with games, and bizarre.
Such a personality might only be cured by electric shock therapy.
It was a pity that the world had changed, and there was no longer a need for tribulation cultivators to break through. Otherwise, seeing Senior Brother being struck by lightning would have been quite entertaining.
After some conversation with Senior Brother, Jiang Ling Su returned to her room.
An ordinary mirror appeared in her hand.
"Qi Condensation Completion..."
This mirror, named the Heaven Earth Mirror, was one of the many fragments of the Heaven Earth Mirror. It could see through one's cultivation level.
The mirror displayed Qi Yuan's cultivation level as Qi Condensation Completion.
...
"Why are you rummaging through the trash again!"
Qi Yuan felt like slapping himself.
But he was afraid of hurting himself.
"Today, I need to go outside and investigate the aftermath of the Black Mountain Sect's annihilation!"
People who frequently kill others should know that they can't return to the scene, but observing a murder case from a distance shouldn't be a problem, right?
Anyway, there was no police here, and the Black Chicken Old Demon was still in seclusion!
