Yan Xiaobao still couldn't quite believe it.
"Take Zhou Xinqi for example. Due to her plant and vegetative ridians, she is sure to inherit Lord Li Feng's legacy and beco the leading alchemist of the Spiritual Flow Sect. Then there is Lu Tianlei. He grew up in a very poor family, initially as thin as a stick of firewood. But he has rare lightning ridians, and the magical techniques he cultivates belong to the lightning road. In fact, the sect leader personally stated that he will have an extraordinary future."
"Really?" Yan Xiaobao asked, clearly shocked. He was no longer a newcor to the Cultivation World and had learned a lot about how things worked. Hearing about the lightning ridians, he couldn't help but feel a bit jealous. Such spiritual ridians would make one's magical techniques explosively powerful and ensure few bottlenecks during cultivation.
Seeing Yan Xiaobao finally reacting like people do when hearing such things, he continued with the third person: "Of course, there's Shangguan Tianyou, even more amazing. He has a Sword Spirit Body, and so even say he's a reincarnated spiritual child of an all-powerful sword cultivator. For so reason, as if the heavens were sinful, they blessed him with happiness all his life. When he was three, he happened to find an ancient sword walking down the road; when he was seven, a baby crimson cloud descended from the sky and accepted him imdiately as its master; when he was thirteen, he acquired a golden Light Shield. That's why his na is Heavenly Protection, and once he joined the sect, the main elder was completely moved."
Yan Xiaobao's eyes widened, and he looked a bit unsettled. "Heaven is sinful!?!? Three... years old? Such luck! What kind of... wait, he's a reincarnated spiritual child of an ancient all-powerful cultivator?"
At that mont, he decided he absolutely wouldn't do anything to provoke Shangguan Tianyou, even if the heavens willed it.
Xu Baocai was quite pleased to see Yan Xiaobao so shocked, so he sighed and then decided to make so explanations about the Foundation. "These three will definitely reach the Foundation. Brother Bai, our cultivator initially worked as a servant and then joined the Outer Sect. We compare our promotion to jumping through the Dragon's Gate like a fish. However, the truth of the matter is that only breaking through from the Qi Condensation Stage to Foundation Establishnt is truly becoming that fish that leaps over the Dragon's Gate. Only then does your life truly change, and you truly cast off mortal life. When your longevity increases by a hundred years, that's the true path to becoming immortal."
Just as Xu Baocai sighed, Yan Xiaobao heard about the hundred-year life extension, and his eyes flashed with light more intense than anything he'd ever seen before. He even started to tremble, his mind filled with a rumbling sound. He reached out and grabbed Xu Baocai's arm.
"You just said after reaching Foundation you gain an additional hundred years of longevity?"
Xu Baocai stared at Yan Xiaobao's bloodshot eyes in shock. He felt a little scared and nodded.
Yan Xiaobao breathed heavily and began pacing back and forth in the courtyard, waving his arms, making frenzied gestures. He almost seed mad, mumbling to himself, laughing crazily.
Xu Baocai was now truly frightened, unsure what was happening. A chill ran down his spine, and he said he needed to leave. Yan Xiaobao barely noticed; it was as if he were trapped.
Xu Baocai took a deep breath and hastened his departure in terror.
After a stick of incense had burned, Yan Xiaobao raised his head, his hair wildly tousled from long breaths. Then he tossed his head back and laughed out loud.
"One hundred years! Foundation Establishnt! I am definitely going to reach the Foundation!" Xu Baocai completely ignited Yan Xiaobao's desire to enter the Foundation. For the next few days, he went to the Holy Scripture Hall many tis, even eventually going to the Holy Hall.
Divine Might Hall is a place that collects vast amounts of information about the cultivation world for study. After researching detailed explanations of Foundation Establishnt, Yan Xiaobao confird that what Xu Baocai said was accurate, as if a spark was lit in his heart.
In his view, only by reaching the Foundation can he truly take the first step on the path to eternal life.
What excited him even more was the information on how to enter Foundation Establishnt through three thods, each affecting longevity in different ways. Finally, he gained a clearer understanding.
"Heavenly Dao, Earth Dao, and Mortal Dao. Three types of Foundation Establishnt....
"Mortal-Dao Foundation Establishnt requires a Foundation Establishnt Pill. The chances of success are low, but if successful, you gain a hundred years of longevity.
"Earth-Dao Foundation Establishnt involves absorbing Earth Energy and converting it to shaking power. The chances of success are even lower, but the result increases longevity by two hundred years!
"Finally, the legendary... Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishnt! It's extrely rare, achieved only through random chance. But if you manage to establish this type of foundation, you gain 500 years of longevity!" After more detailed research, Yan Xiaobao confird Heavenly Dao Foundation cannot be pursued specifically. As for Earth-Dao Foundation Establishnt, there are special requirents needed to obtain Earth Energy.
Therefore, the simplest for him was to seek a Foundation Establishnt Pill for Mortal-Dao Foundation Establishnt.
Yan Xiaobao put down the jade in his hand, taking a deep breath as his eyes shone. "I need to start planning for the future and ensure I am thoroughly prepared. I must obtain one of those Foundation Establishnt Pills....
"Foundation Establishnt Pills are expensive, just to be prepared for all possibilities, I should certainly have more than one. In that case... the best thod is to create so myself!" Yan Xiaobao's eyes sparkled, his dream of becoming a Master Alchemist and crafting an eternal life pill becoming stronger than ever.
"Apprentice Alchemist, Skilled Pharmacist, Master Alchemist... Now I'm an Apprentice Alchemist. To beco skilled, I need to create so dicinal pills and proceed to promote and test.... The minimum requirents for the test are mastering the fifth volu of plants and vegetation. But that alone does not ensure success. I also need to completely master all five Soul Creatures." Eyes sparkling, he pulled out the jade sliding plate containing the third volu of plants and vegetation, and examined it once more. After confirming he morized everything, he imdiately left his courtyard.
However, monts later, he ran back and quickly donned several layers of clothing, also disguising himself a bit. Only then did he truly leave.
"Zhou Xinqi's fans are terrifying. They've allegedly been telling others they'll chop to pieces... I have no choice but to keep a low profile." He still felt sowhat unsettled.
Considering the differences between himself and Zhou Xinqi's fans, he finally made a decision. "Humph. Wait until I enter Foundation Establishnt. Then I'll make a grand scene and proclaim myself Lord Turtle. Then we'll see who dares chop to pieces!"
As usual, the 10,000 dicines Pavilion was packed with people. In attendance were not just Outer Sect disciples from Xiangyun Peak but disciples from Green Crest Peak and Violet Cauldron Peak, requested for various reasons to beco proficient in plants and vegetation.
Currently, Yan Xiaobao wandered among the crowd, trying to ensure he didn't attract any attention. After reaching the small cabin dedicated to the third volu of plants and vegetation, he slipped inside, taking the test, then lted back into the crowd.
Although he had intended to leave right away, after a while, he couldn't resist raising his head to look around. Soon, when people realized that the Turtle's design on the monunt for the third volu of plants and vegetation had surpassed the Magic Bottle, commotion erupted.
He felt extrely pleased, his face displaying a shocked expression, shouting in surprise. However, Zhou Xinqi's demon fans only took a bit of ti to appear, causing Yan Xiaobao to wave his fists in frustration.
"It's their fault I have to maintain such a low profile," he thought angrily. He glared at them for a while, then turned and left quickly.
In the days that followed, news of the Little Turtle once again spread through the Outer Sect of Xiangyun Peak like wildfire. Everyone talked about the Little Turtle design highlighted on the monunt.
However, another month passed, and just as the rumors began to settle, disciples outside the Ten Thousand dicines Pavilion suddenly noticed that the Little Turtle had appeared on the fourth Stele, once again taking first place through the Magic Bottle.
The result incited imdiate uproar!
