However, Xiao Chen didn’t have ti to dwell on why his Divine Sense was so exceptionally powerful.
The ability to release his Divine Sense externally ant that his Foundation Establishnt had been a success, and it also signaled that the entire process was nearing its end.
He quickly refocused his attention and took out the True Inner Core he had obtained earlier from his Storage Bag.
The first step was to bite his finger and drip a drop of blood from the tip onto it.
As the Inner Core absorbed the blood, a very faint connection imdiately ford.
Next, he enveloped the Inner Core with his Divine Sense and began to strengthen this connection.
Then, he continuously infused Magical Power into the Inner Core and began the refinent process.
Soon, a fine powder began to drift off the Inner Core, making it look as though it had been pulverized.
Yet, it still retained the appearance of an Inner Core.
This continued until the Inner Core beca completely illusory.
With a single Divine Thought from Xiao Chen, WHOOSH, the Inner Core shot into his mid-abdon, settling into a space above his Dantian and below his chest.
Then, guided by his Magical Power, it gently drifted downward and settled firmly against the edge of his Dantian.
"Success!"
A look of joy spread across Xiao Chen’s face. He quickly infused Magical Power into it and discovered that, just as he’d hoped, it could store Magical Power like a second Dantian.
This ant that from now on, his total Magical Power capacity would be double that of most other cultivators at the sa realm.
Moreover, he could continue to refine it in the future. Once the Inner Core was refined into a Fake Pill, he would be able to attain power far beyond the Foundation Establishnt Realm ahead of ti.
After the Inner Core settled into place, his overflowing Divine Sense gradually cald and retracted completely into his Sea of Consciousness.
As the remaining Wood Spiritual Power finished strengthening his entire body, his Celestial Dao Foundation Establishnt ca to a perfect conclusion.
Xiao Chen continued to operate his Cultivation Technique, taking advantage of the lingering effects to absorb the remaining pale-green mist in the air, ensuring none of it went to waste.
Then, with a sweep of his Divine Sense, he collected all the unused Spirit Stones and returned them to his Storage Bag.
’Having Divine Sense really makes things so much more convenient.’
’Hiss... to think I actually used up six hundred and forty Spirit Stones!’
’Since I don’t have a Spirit Vein, I had to rely entirely on Spirit Stones to replenish my Spiritual Qi. The cost of this Foundation Establishnt was truly far beyond my expectations.’
’Thankfully, I prepared a surplus from the very beginning to handle any potential Spiritual Qi shortages.’
’But I shouldn’t have needed to use so many Spirit Stones. It’s all the fault of that Luoyun Wanderer who appeared out of nowhere.’
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes. ’He certainly didn’t expect to have the Vertical Earth Golden Light technique, let alone a tenfold boost from my Augnt.’
’And he would have never imagined I could complete my Foundation Establishnt so quickly.’
’Once I master Tier Two Magic, I’ll show him the true aning of "keep your eyes open and don’t provoke soone you can’t afford to cross."’
’I hope he’s just as arrogant then as he was a few days ago.’
FLASH! Three cards suddenly lit up before his eyes.
Completely different from before, each of these three cards shimred with a diamond-like, prismatic light.
[At Any Cost: Imdiately advance to the Nascent Soul Stage. You can no longer receive future Augnts.]
[Prized Treasures III: Imdiately gain one random Top-Grade Magical Artifact. At the start of each year for the next ninety-nine years, you will gain another random Top-Grade Magical Artifact.]
[Divine Protection Veil: You are immune to all negative effects. This includes but is not limited to: Immobilization, Stun, Charm, Fear, Enchantnt, Curse, Poison, Plague, Intoxication, etc.]
’They’re all Prismatic Augnts!’
Augnts were divided into three tiers: Silver, Gold, and the highest, Prismatic.
’Could it be that because I broke through a Major Realm, all the options I received are top-tier Prismatic Augnts?’
’Or was I just really lucky this ti?’
A theory imdiately ford in Xiao Chen’s mind, but since this was his first ti breaking through a Major Realm, he couldn’t be certain. For now, he could only push the thought to the back of his mind.
’Let’s see... the first one is "At Any Cost"?’
’Honestly, if this were a ga, I would’ve picked this one without a second thought.’
’It’s all about level suppression—putting imnse pressure on everyone else.’
’The joy of being king of the grind is just that simple and unpretentious.’
’The problem is, this isn’t a ga.’
’Nascent Soul Stage cultivators are the stuff of legends in Li State.’
’But if I want to achieve Ascension to Immortality in the future, I’ll inevitably have to face enemies at the Nascent Soul Stage, or even higher.’
’Without the help of future Augnts, I’d feel really uneasy.’
’The second one, Prized Treasures III, is incredibly powerful on its own.’
’From what I know, a single Top-Grade Magical Artifact can sell for several thousand, even tens of thousands of Spirit Stones, with the average price holding steady above ten thousand.’
’On a normal day, even so struggling Foundation Establishnt Cultivators only use Upper-Grade Magical Artifacts.’
’In many smaller clans, a Top-Grade Magical Artifact is even treated as a foundational Treasure ant to secure the clan’s destiny.’
’The hundred Top-Grade Magical Artifacts from this Augnt would have a combined value well over a million Spirit Stones—an absolutely astronomical price.’
’Plus, this Augnt provides an imdiate return; it’s not just an empty promise for the future.’
’If I chose this, I could either use a suitable Top-Grade Magical Artifact to directly boost my own power...’
’...or I could auction them off for Spirit Stones to fill my coffers. Either way, it’s incredibly useful.’
’Basically, choosing this would grant an imdiate power boost and would be like indirectly owning a massive fortune in Spirit Stones.’
’I’d be able to live very comfortably for the entire Foundation Establishnt Stage.’
’However, when it cos to long-term potential, the last one has to be the best—Divine Protection Veil.’
’The first two Augnts share a common flaw: they’re incredibly strong in the short term...’
’...but their value diminishes significantly over the long run.’
’Divine Protection Veil is different. While it seems to have limited strength right now and provides no direct Combat Power...’
’...in the future, as my Cultivation increases, the value of this Augnt will grow alongside it, becoming increasingly crucial.’
’The Intoxication part isn’t a big deal, but immunity to Immobilization and Curses... Hiss... that seems insanely powerful.’
Xiao Chen mulled it over. The more he thought, the more crucial it seed.
’In terms of Combat Power, I have Featherweight to fall back on. I just need to find so Tier Two Yellow-level Techniques later.’
’As for finances, I have Buy One Get One, so I shouldn’t be short on money in the future.’
Although he was still a half-baked Alchemist who could only concoct one type of elixir, this was mainly because he had been an Alchemist for less than a year.
’With Buy One Get One, it’s only a matter of ti before I make a fortune.’
Moreover, Xiao Chen had noticed a potential pattern: of the twelve Augnts he had seen so far, none had been repeats.
’This implies that an Augnt, once it appears, might never show up again.’
’As long as I don’t pick the first option, I’ll get new Augnts to bolster my strength or finances once I reach the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishnt.’
’But if I pass on Divine Protection Veil now, I might never get another chance to obtain it.’
Xiao Chen’s thoughts cleared. "I choose you—Divine Protection Veil!"
