Shen Yuanzi looked at Wang Mu with a peculiar expression. "Young friend, you must not have been cultivating for long, right?"
Indeed, it had not been long, just over two years in total.
"Immortal Spiritual Flower," Shen Yuanzi said. "They are rare items in this world. I have good relations with all eight saints of the Spirit Clan in Qianzhou, but even if I wanted to ask the Flower Saint for a Blessed Immortal Flower, emptying my assets wouldn’t be enough."
Wang Mu was speechless.
"The Flower Saint in Heavenly Fragrance Valley nurtures such rare items daily. In the past hundred years, it has been extrely rare for them to be given away, let alone gifted. To the Flower Saint, those are her children. How could she give them away?"
"Only this ti, she broke through to the Divinity Transformation. Her spirit is clear, and in order to make wide connections with the cultivators from the Nine Provinces, she took out three Immortal Young Spirit Flowers. To obtain one of them, you still need to pass through nurous tests. Of course, we peers are not thick-skinned enough to participate..."
"But for young ones like you with great potential..." Shen Yuanzi lowered his voice. "Especially those who have a Taoist couple, it’s best to go. If you obtain one and present it to your Taoist couple, you will definitely gain their affection and enhance your mutual feelings... for those like you who just participated in the Magpie Bridge Festival or have participated before..."
Wang Mu understood.
"Then I must go!" Wang Mu declared.
"Do you have a Taoist couple, young friend?"
"Not yet. I’m preparing for the future."
Shen Yuanzi was silent for a mont.
"Then you had better break through to Foundation Establishnt first," Shen Yuanzi said. "Foundation Establishnt is the threshold; Golden Core is the upper limit. Let calculate the ti... there are still a few months left, roughly by the end of the year."
"If you want to participate, I can register you in advance, and you can just co when it’s ti."
"Then, thank you, Senior."
It seed that this Travel incident had triggered other follow-ups...
「After Shen Yuanzi left.」
Wang Mu stayed for a few more days, still unable to contact Immortal Bi You through Little Jiao Huo.
Having no choice, Wang Mu had to return to the Sword Sect to concoct his Foundation Establishnt Pill and begin his Foundation Establishnt.
Luckily, the little fellow swore that as soon as contact was made, a ssage would definitely be sent.
After Wang Mu gifted so elixirs he had concocted to the rfolk Clan, he left Glazed Lake.
On this trip back, Wang Mu naturally planned to proceed directly to Foundation Establishnt.
After reaching Foundation Establishnt, the Dan King Sect should send people over soon. With Chen Feng and Shen Jiao as inside contacts, I just need to prepare in advance.
The number of disciples from my batch reaching Foundation Establishnt is increasing...
The Sword Sect selected only elite disciples. Their talents in all aspects were considerable; even if their Spirit Roots were slightly inferior, their cultivation speed didn’t lag behind.
Many were now due for Foundation Establishnt. For instance, Zhong Feng had reached Foundation Establishnt a few months ago and had now stabilized his cultivation. Luo Qifang was a bit slower; when he reached Foundation Establishnt, he even gave a small gift. That guy has quite a special background; after all, he had the elixir recipes for both the Heavenly Foundation Establishnt Pill and the Earth Foundation Establishnt Pill, and he collected the materials early on. Back at the Magpie Bridge Festival, those two were only in the Qi Cultivation Realm and didn’t make it onto the Potential List. But later, in the Rebirth Mirror, I learned that both of them seed to have found decent Taoist couples... As for Senior Brother... Senior Brother Su Yu won’t be coming back...
Wang Mu sighed. The reason was simple: he often received letters from Senior Brother Su Yu, who said he was currently in the Demon Cave, desperately trying to rescue fellow disciples.
Considering the need for Foundation Establishnt, Wang Mu also put Heavenly Sword Peak under closed peak status and prepared for secluded cultivation.
Well, I actually could have kept it open; after all, not many people co to Heavenly Sword Peak anyway. Let’s start by concocting the Heavenly Foundation Establishnt Pill.
The process of concocting the Heavenly Foundation Establishnt Pill wasn’t complicated, but it took a long ti. It took over ten days, and on several occasions, if it hadn’t been for Wang Mu’s abundant internal Spiritual Power, he might have been forced to give up halfway through.
This thing... ordinary Alchemists in the Foundation Establishnt Realm would likely find it extrely difficult to concoct...
During alchemy, one must concentrate fully on controlling the Spirit fla; there can be no stopping midway, unlike with other Spirit Pills that allow for short breaks to replenish Spiritual Power. Each ingredient of the Heavenly Foundation Establishnt Pill must be controlled with the Spirit fla to its absolute limit. Without the True Yang Star Fla, it would probably have taken half a month.
「By the end of the month, the Heavenly Foundation Establishnt Pill was produced.」
There was just one.
Right, according to the elixir recipe... for this pill, one set of materials can only produce one. But...
He looked at the Heavenly Foundation Establishnt Pill floating in his hand. It had a pale golden body adorned with golden, extraordinarily mystical patterns. With just a slight sense, a surging Life Force, mixed with a hint of unique principles, rushed towards him.
Foundation Establishnt Pills are considered mid-grade Spirit Pills. This one of mine... it should be considered top-grade among top-grades, right? Not quite Taoist grade, though. The amount of Immortal Transformation Burial given by Shen Yuanzi wasn’t actually that much. It was just a small portion of Tao Grade Spirit dicine mixed in with the other spiritual dicines. The concocted pill is still a top-grade Spirit Pill, but it seems to be filled with profound mystery, vaguely containing a hint of the ultimate truth of the world?
Anyway, Wang Mu found it exceedingly mysterious.
Foundation Establishnt!
Foundation Establishnt can be said to be the threshold where Cultivators truly transform themselves and align with the Immortal Path. The most critical aspect is that during Foundation Establishnt, upon the completion of their Tao Foundation, Cultivators will awaken an Innate Divine Power unique to themselves.
Foundation Establishnt also has its classifications. For instance, a cultivator with an ordinary Spirit Root, ordinary Cultivation Techniques, and ordinary Foundation Establishnt Pills—everything ordinary—undergoes the most common type of Foundation Establishnt. This kind generally has a low success rate, with only a small probability of manifesting an Innate Divine Power. Most Loose Cultivators experience this type of Foundation Establishnt and typically need to consu top-grade Foundation Establishnt Pills to have a high probability of success.
