Immortal Cultivation Begins with Drawing Talismans Chapter 75 : Foundation Establishment Celebration

Chapter 75: Foundation Establishnt Celebration

Gathering Immortals Tower.

“Haha, congratulations Brother Lin on establishing your Foundation!”

“Brother Lin has reached Foundation Establishnt!”

While the wind and snow howled outside, the private room was filled with cheerful laughter.

Shen Lie, Li Erniu, Wei Buyi, and Lu Qingqing all offered their congratulations with glowing faces.

When they first heard that Lin Chang’an had reached Foundation Establishnt, they were all stunned and found it hard to believe. It was simply too sudden.

When the news ca that Yun Yao had reached Foundation Establishnt, they were surprised, but could understand—it was, after all, the final stage for her.

But Lin Chang’an had still been preparing just a short while ago, and suddenly, he reached Foundation Establishnt.

Among the smiles of the crowd, there was an invisible, intangible sense of distance—after all, with their different statuses, a natural divide had ford in their hearts.

But Lin Chang’an still spoke with everyone as usual, smiling and chatting, and that unfamiliarity gradually faded.

In response to everyone’s congratulations, Lin Chang’an raised his cup in a toast.

“Foundation Establishnt is a matter of great importance, so I didn’t reveal anything beforehand. Today, my success is entirely thanks to your support.”

Without a trace of hesitation, Lin Chang’an downed the wine in one gulp.

“Co, let’s toast Brother Lin!”

Faces flushed with excitent, they all raised their cups. Though they had supported him, deep down, they hadn’t held much hope.

After all, Lin Chang’an was like them—one of those who failed to secure a Foundation Establishnt Slot. With a low-grade spiritual root, achieving Foundation Establishnt was incredibly difficult.

Their support had been more about the years of friendship.

It was precisely for that reason that Lin Chang’an felt imnse gratitude.

After his breakthrough, he first went to Yun Yao’s cave-dwelling to express thanks, then bought so things along the way, and ca to Gathering Immortals Tower to inform everyone.

This counted as his small Foundation Establishnt celebration.

“Brother Lin, I truly didn’t expect this.”

Li Erniu’s face was flushed, and he spoke in a flurry, clearly overwheld.

Lin Chang’an had not only reached Foundation Establishnt but hadn’t changed at all—his attitude toward them remained the sa.

Looking at the smiling faces around him, Lin Chang’an joined the laughter. Everyone spoke cheerfully about how this was finally a mont of pride—a chance for those who had once failed to prove themselves.

“Fellow Daoists, I will never forget your previous support!”

After three rounds of wine, Lin Chang’an once again stood and raised his cup, solemnly toasting the group. No one dared remain seated—they all stood and raised their cups in return.

“Brother Shen, Little Junior Sister, I happened to buy two bottles of elixirs on the way here.”

As soon as the two bottles of elixirs appeared, Shen Lie and Lu Qingqing’s pupils contracted. Wei Buyi, who was an alchemist, exclaid imdiately:

“That’s Clear Spirit Powder and High-grade Golden Marrow Pill!”

Clear Spirit Powder had the effect of cleansing the ridians and nourishing the foundation.

Seeing the elixir, Shen Lie’s eyes turned red. How could he not know how much this would help him?

He had been at the Seventh Level of Qi Refinent for years, all because of the aftereffects of taking a Barrier-Breaking Pill back then.

This elixir might not fully heal him, but it would be enough to strengthen his foundation and allow further cultivation progress in the future.

Foundation Establishnt was out of reach, but the Eighth or even Ninth Level of Qi Refinent was still possible.

The High-grade Golden Marrow Pill was ant for Lu Qingqing.

“Wei Brother, this one’s for you.”

Another jade bottle was brought out. Wei Buyi’s eyes instantly turned red. It was a high-grade healing elixir for treating the ridians—in plain terms, it was to treat his legs.

At that mont, Wei Buyi looked up at Lin Chang’an’s sincere smile and couldn’t help but recall his younger days. Feeling ashad, he lowered his head and hoarsely said:

“Brother Lin...”

His voice hoarse, he didn’t finish his words, but Lin Chang’an already smiled and nodded, turning to look at Erniu.

“Erniu, you’ve been stuck at the Sixth Level of Qi Refinent for quite a while. You should know how unpredictable the cultivation world is—sotis, strength is everything.”

Lin Chang’an took out a bottle of Barrier-Breaking Pills, and everyone present smiled.

Though what Erniu received was of the least value, he was still beaming, without the slightest sense of being shortchanged.

As the laughter continued, Lin Chang’an shared the dangers and experiences from his Foundation Establishnt.

Naturally, he didn’t ntion a few secrets but focused on the difficulty of hunting beasts and how cultivators with poor aptitude like them could succeed in Foundation Establishnt.

When he finally said he succeeded with just one Premium-grade Foundation Establishnt Pill, everyone gasped in shock.

“Brother Lin, are you saying you still have another Foundation Establishnt Pill!?”

They were all astonished. Even though they couldn’t use it, the na alone was enough to leave them in awe.

After all, hadn’t they spent their entire lives cultivating as rogue cultivators for just the slimst chance at Foundation Establishnt?

“That’s right. I still have one more Foundation Establishnt Pill.”

Lin Chang’an smiled at everyone. They gradually regained their composure and exchanged bitter smiles.

It was obvious—if any one of them had reached the Late-stage Qi Refinent, Lin Chang’an wouldn’t mind selling it to them.

Unfortunately, everyone knew their own limits. Foundation Establishnt was out of reach— even the Ninth Level of Qi Refinent was far away.

In the end, everyone shook their heads. Lin Chang’an also gently shook his head and finally turned his gaze toward Erniu.

“Erniu, the Beast-Taming Zhou Clan is renowned for their beast-taming techniques. My Azure-Horned Bull still lacks so refinent. When you return, help inquire with the Zhou Clan.”

This one sentence caused Li Erniu’s face to flush with excitent. He raised his cup and drank it all in one go without hesitation.

“Brother Lin, don’t worry. Leave it to !”

It was clear that Lin Chang’an intended to trade the Foundation Establishnt Pill with the Zhou Clan.

Letting Erniu handle it would allow him to gain great rit.

That was Lin Chang’an’s true gift to Li Erniu. Everyone smiled warmly.

After all, Erniu was a live-in son-in-law. The last ti he helped, he used his own private stash of spirit stones. Everyone knew it.

If he could achieve so major rit, his status in the family and clan would definitely change.

“Co, let’s wish Brother Lin a long and prosperous path in the immortal way. Cheers!”

“Cheers!”

The hall was filled with laughter and joy, and Lin Chang’an also wore a broad smile. This trade of a Foundation Establishnt Pill with the Zhou Clan was sothing he had thought through carefully.

Having just broken through, he lacked nothing for now, and his strength wouldn’t improve much in the short term.

The Azure-Horned Bull was at a critical stage of growth. If it could successfully break through to the second rank, the improvent in its strength would be significant.

After all, with the external situation, who knew when the three major sects would tear off all pretenses?

And it would conveniently grant Erniu a great rit—a win-win outco.

After the celebration, Lin Chang’an gave each of them a Goldlight Talisman, earning everyone’s heartfelt gratitude.

……

In Tianxuan City, the wind and snow howled.

Back in his cave-dwelling, Lin Chang’an naturally sensed the thinness of the spiritual energy and couldn't help but mutter inwardly.

He hadn’t noticed it before, but after visiting Yun Yao’s cave-dwelling, the difference in spiritual energy was indeed stark.

“First I’ll cultivate this ancient technique, then change to a better cave-dwelling.”

Ever since breaking through to Foundation Establishnt, he had not yet chosen a cultivation technique. Now that everything was settled, he naturally prioritized studying this technique.

【Lifespan: 54/236】

【Realm: Early-stage Foundation Establishnt (2/100)】

“After reaching Foundation Establishnt, my lifespan jumped straight to over two hundred thirty years.”

Lin Chang’an’s face was full of joy. This was the benefit of cultivating the Evergreen Art—his lifespan would continue to increase as his cultivation advanced.

Rumor had it that among Foundation Establishnt cultivators who cultivated wood-attribute techniques, the longest-lived had reached nearly three hundred years before passing.

“Next is this ancient technique and the required life-bound spirit plant!”

He had previously purchased this life-bound spirit plant at the marketplace.

“This ginseng might be a rare treasure in the mortal world, but in the cultivation world, it’s nothing special.”

A ginseng of three thousand five hundred years had begun to exude faint spiritual energy, which happened to et the requirents for a life-bound spirit plant.

But upon seeing it, Lin Chang’an could only shake his head helplessly. Truly thousand-year-old spiritual herbs were fought over by even Nascent Soul cultivators. He had no choice but to settle for the next best thing.

This was already the best he could afford within his ans.

“Eternal Evergreen Technique!”

Lin Chang’an carefully took out this opportunity from the ancient ruins and examined it again with a solemn expression.

“After all this preparation, let’s begin!”

Inside the cave-dwelling, Lin Chang’an sat cross-legged on a prayer cushion. With a serious expression, he slowly took out a bottle of spiritual liquid and poured it over the ginseng, which was held by a withered leaf bearing the technique’s imprint.

As the spiritual liquid was poured, the ginseng burst forth with renewed vitality, causing Lin Chang’an to sigh inwardly.

After all, it was a mortal-world item—just a bit of spiritual liquid from the cultivation world could cause such a reaction.

Unfortunately, that was all he could manage.

“Refine!”

In the next mont, Lin Chang’an ford a hand seal, squeezed out a drop of essence blood from between his brows, and just as he was about to perform the key part of the ritual refinent, his pupils suddenly contracted.

As the blood dripped onto the ginseng, the millennia-old ginseng began to disintegrate visibly, as if weathered by ti.

No—

It was being devoured by the withered leaf beneath it, the one imprinted with the technique.

“What is this!? That spiritual liquid just now!”

Lin Chang’an was suddenly shocked—the spiritual liquid must have dripped onto the withered leaf.

It seed to have been activated.

Could it be!

Just then, as the essence blood touched the withered leaf, a subtle connection ford, and Lin Chang’an’s expression grew serious.

His life-bound spirit plant was gone, but it seed the withered leaf might et the requirent.

“This withered leaf was found in an ancient cultivator’s cave-dwelling, which ans it’s at least several thousand years old—perhaps even ten thousand. According to the requirents of a life-bound spirit plant, it should qualify.”

If there were a genuine spiritual herb from the cultivation world, he naturally wouldn’t use sothing from the mortal realm.

However, as Lin Chang’an hesitated, the withered leaf responded under the ritual, forming a faint connection. It seed to sense sothing and emitted a soft green glow.

“Refine!”

Lin Chang’an was taken aback. This leaf imprinted with the technique had already made the choice for him.

After all, a treasure from an ancient ruin’s cave-dwelling would surely surpass any item from the mortal world.

And so, Lin Chang’an imdiately began circulating the technique.
