Ji Yuan never expected that the first thing Dong Qian did after coming out was to see him.
And as soon as they t, she rushed forward to give him a hug.
Ji Yuan initially wanted to dodge, but seeing the senior sister who was both joyful and tearful, he didn’t end up avoiding it.
He knew that Dong Qian just wanted soone to share her excitent and joy with, without any other intentions.
After the hug, Dong Qian wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and released her hand, her face a bit flushed.
"Junior Brother Ji, thank you, thank you."
Dong Qian said with a trembling voice.
"Senior Sister, you’re too polite."
Ji Yuan sat down beside her and asked with a smile, "How does it feel to have established the Foundation?"
Dong Qian sat down opposite Ji Yuan. Now that she had successfully reached Foundation Establishnt, even her skin seed much more taut, and she no longer appeared as somber as before.
"The feeling?"
The expression on Dong Qian’s face gradually returned to calm. "Actually, there’s not much of a feeling. How about you, Junior Brother Ji?"
"?"
Ji Yuan was sowhat surprised by the question, as no one had asked him this since he reached Foundation Establishnt... In retrospect, not feeling much might actually be normal.
At that ti, he had established his Foundation just before the Nine Nether Cave Heaven opened, and right after, he encountered Master Xuan Shui... Of course, now it should be "dear Sect Leader Martial Uncle" who blocked the door.
Later, it was Hua Yaoyue who saved the day.
So Ji Yuan’s feeling upon reaching Foundation Establishnt was actually the mont Hua Yaoyue took him as a disciple.
Because after that mont, Ji Yuan knew he had a backer in the Water Dragon Sect.
"Didn’t feel much, really. Before Foundation Establishnt, it was daily cultivation. After Foundation Establishnt, it was still daily cultivation."
Ji Yuan nearly said, "It’s as if the Foundation was established for nothing."
"I just thought about it, and there is so feeling, the biggest one being less pressure. Previously, I always felt I wouldn’t see the sunrise casting its light on the window fras for many more years. But now, it seems I can view it for quite a few more years."
The lifespan during the Qi Cultivation Stage is barely over a hundred years, and most Qi Cultivation Cultivators don’t even reach that age.
But Foundation Establishnt Cultivators are different.
Foundation Establishnt starts with a lifespan of over two hundred years.
Dong Qian was quite moved by this surge in lifespan.
"Then Senior Sister should strive even harder. Once you form a Golden Core, you could witness the vicissitudes of life." Ji Yuan smiled. Reaching Foundation Establishnt at a young age, he wasn’t particularly touched by the lifespan.
"I don’t dare to imagine forming a Core. I’ve gone through all the records and haven’t seen many Pseudo Spirit Roots forming a Core."
Dong Qian laughed and shook her head. "Reaching Foundation Establishnt, I’m already quite satisfied."
"But I believe that you, Junior Brother Ji, surely can!"
Ji Yuan glanced at the panel in his mind. If everything developed smoothly, he indeed had hope for Core Formation, but whether it would work...
"I’ll give it my best shot."
"Hmm."
"In a few days, the Sect Leader Martial Uncle will summon you to discuss establishing the island post-Foundation. After that, you’ll have a year of free ti. A year later, the sect will assign you tasks."
Ji Yuan advised.
"Alright, let’s wait until I establish the island first."
"By the way, how many Foundation Establishnt Pills did Senior Sister consu in total?" Ji Yuan asked curiously.
He had used ten. Dong Qian, also a Pseudo Spirit Root, should presumably be similar.
This was supposed to be a simple question, but unexpectedly, Dong Qian hesitated for a mont before saying, "Three."
"What?"
Ji Yuan was sowhat stunned by this answer.
Although incredulous, he felt Dong Qian wasn’t lying to him.
If she were lying, there’d be no need for hesitation. Her hesitation was likely because she thought this answer would be too surprising.
"I ask Junior Brother Ji to keep this matter confidential."
Dong Qian lowered her head slightly.
"Rest assured, I’m the tightest-lipped person."
Seeing this situation, Ji Yuan guessed this might be related to Dong Qian’s secret. Establishing the Foundation with just three Foundation Establishnt Pills... A One-Stripe Foundation Establishnt Pill?
Seems unlikely.
But if it were a Two-striped Foundation Establishnt Pill, Ji Yuan only managed to get her one. Could she have had other ans?
Ji Yuan did not know. After so idle chat, Dong Qian’s initial excitent turned to calmness, and she bid farewell and left Ji Yuan’s Wuyou Island.
Regarding his old friend’s Foundation Establishnt, Ji Yuan felt quite happy.
At least for now, his friends weren’t drifting apart, but were slowly catching up.
"Senior Sister Dong has established the Foundation... if anything cos up in the future, I can seek her help."
Previously, Dong Qian was still in the Qi Cultivation Stage, with the weight of Foundation Establishnt hanging over her head, so she couldn’t focus on anything else, single-mindedly aiming for Foundation Establishnt.
Now that the Foundation Establishnt is complete, it’s beneficial in every way.
And mainly because Dong Qian is prudent, Ji Yuan felt at ease entrusting her with certain matters.
After eting Dong Qian, Ji Yuan returned to Mist Island to cultivate. Recently, aside from training his Divine Sense in the ditation Room, he had been comprehending the Sword Manual in the Enlightennt Room.
In a few months, relying on his exceptional perception, Ji Yuan understood so content from the Sword Manual.
With deepened understanding, the second sword embryo had shown signs of forming.
For the second sword embryo, Ji Yuan planned to follow Hua Yaoyue’s advice and condense it at Li Hua River... To see if his sword embryo could gain a touch of Dragon Fortune.
But going to Li Hua River also ans visiting Lishui City once more.
"If I go now... it should be safe, right?"
Ji Yuan found it hard to believe he’d encounter a Demon Cultivator again now.
