With Cultivation Simulator in a Chaotic World Chapter 111 - 110: Foundation Establishment! Grade 4 Alchemi

Jiang Ming frowned.

His gaze shifted away, looking up again, reviewing past experiences.

This Ye Fan seed to have sensed sothing himself, which is why he chose to request Ouyang Yun to accompany him.

Ouyang Yun, after all, had hired a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator.

Although that Foundation Establishnt Cultivator was rely the Patriarch of a small family, his combat prowess was not weak, his perception abilities were excellent, and aside from him, there were several companions who had befriended Ouyang Yun, along with ten bodyguards at Qi Refining Perfection.

Moreover, Ouyang Yun possessed life-saving items given by Master Yunding and several other Nine Clouds Market leaders, among which were warning artifacts, allowing him to evade danger even in front of typical Late-Stage Foundation Establishnt Powerhouses.

This kind of force was equivalent to a third-tier power, yet, adding Ye Fan’s vigilance, Ye Fan inexplicably ended up dead.

When Ouyang Yun discovered Ye Fan, he was already at the foot of a naless hill near the Cyan Yuan Sword Sect, his body shriveled, as if drained of blood.

And...

"The Ye Family’s demise..."

Jiang Ming’s pupils contracted slightly.

He still rembered, the Ouyang Family almost t the sa fate, if not for a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator nearby trying to curry favor with the Cloud Cauldron Pavilion, lending a hand, the remaining survivors of the Ouyang Family wouldn’t have survived.

It’s hard not to associate it with Ouyang Yan.

Both were Cyan Yuan Sword Sect disciples, both shared the sa family lineage, both families t their end, even both the Ouyang Family and Ye Family had one or two Foundation Establishnt mbers in a third-tier power.

If it hadn’t been for Master Yunding stepping in, Ouyang Yun would have likely been captured by Ouyang Yan.

"Ouyang Yun and Ye Fan..."

Jiang Ming felt he had grasped sothing.

What differentiated him from Ouyang Yun was that Jiang Ming could think from a restricted God’s-eye view, stepping out of the situation.

[The duel was naturally canceled, those who had been paying attention were sowhat astonished, but as ti went by, soon no one paid it any attention.]

[Due to your friendship with Ye Fan, you launched an investigation into this incident, even inviting Foundation Establishnt Powerhouses adept in investigation like Master Mingxin and several eccentric figures, as well as an old detective with decades of criminal investigation experience from the secular world, to conduct the investigation, but to no avail.]

[You laid Ye Fan to rest, and unexpectedly discovered a special piece of broken copper coin hidden on Ye Fan’s body, with a unique material you couldn’t quite discern. As you held the copper coin, inspiration suddenly struck, and you looked toward the Cyan Yuan Sword Sect, observing black mist and white light flashing simultaneously, seemingly representing sothing; you pondered, perhaps this was the reliance upon which Ye Fan rose.]

[However, as the anomaly faded, a crack appeared on the coin; it seems to be a consumable, and according to your estimation, it might only be usable three or four tis.]

[You returned to the Cloud Cauldron Pavilion and recounted the details to Master Yunding ticulously, who seed sowhat grave, but said nothing, simply instructing you not to dwell on it, just like before, to forget the matter.]

[You showed the copper coin to Master Yunding, who, curious, couldn’t identify what it was, simply telling you to preserve it well.]

Jiang Ming refrained from stopping Ouyang Yun from showing the item to Master Yunding, understanding Master Yunding’s temperant — ticulous with a hint of obsessive-compulsiveness, yet proud and haughty, he would never seize an object from a disciple.

Thus, it wasn’t necessary to hide it, but Master Yunding’s insight was rather notable in the downstream region of the Qingqiu River, even he didn’t know what it is?

Truly curious.

[Ye Fan’s matter drifted away like a breeze, unnoticed by others, leaving a shadow over your heart alone.]

[In the year 7959 of the Nine Rivers Calendar, your mother passed away, you were powerless to save her, you sat forlorn in the spirit hall for a month, rejecting any commissions.]

[Henceforth, severing ties with mortal matters, you buried your mother, dedicating yourself entirely to the Immortal Dao.]

[In the year 7960 of the Nine Rivers Calendar, you achieved Perfection at the Ninth-Layer of Qi Refining, reaching the pinnacle of the first step in cultivation, with the next step being the Foundation Establishnt bottleneck.]

............

[In the year 7963 of the Nine Rivers Calendar, you swallowed the ninth Foundation Establishnt Pill, with other auxiliary pills accumulating over a hundred, you forcefully broke through the Foundation Establishnt bottleneck with the sheer power of pills, condensing Qi into a liquid state, establishing Immortal Foundation, becoming a Foundation Establishnt Powerhouse; in that year, you were exactly seventy years old, still youthful.]

[Achieving Foundation Establishnt, new Vitality road within your body; you could feel the enhancent in life span, Foundation Establishnt Powerhouses typically had a lifespan of 240 years, coupled with the life-extending functions of Life-extending Pills and Wood Attribute Technique, you could essentially reach a lifespan of 300 years.]

[Upon reaching Foundation Establishnt, you imdiately opened the cauldron for Alchemy, using liquidified True Essence, easily concocting the Fourth-grade Pill, Jiao Blood Strengthening Pill.]

[Building upon your accumulated strengths, you successfully crafted four other fourth-grade pills, centing your status as a Fourth-Grade Alchemist.]

[You erged, proclaid to the world, conducting the Foundation Establishnt ceremony and the Fourth-Grade Alchemist promotion ceremony simultaneously; guests thronged to the event.]

[In the Nine Clouds Market, people stread in endlessly, various powers ca forth to offer their congratulations.]

In the downstream region of the Qingqiu River, Middle Grade Alchemists were quite rare.

Aside from the once-in-a-millennia alchemical prodigy, nearly all alchemists needed to reach True Essence liquification, which ant the Foundation Establishnt level, to concoct fourth-grade pills.

So alchemists may have accumulated enough like Ouyang Yun, but due to cultivation reasons, were simply unable to craft fourth-grade pills.

And Foundation Establishnt is not easily breached, especially for alchemists whose cultivation largely relied on consuming pills; for them, the Foundation Establishnt bottleneck is tougher to crack.

Not every alchemist can chow down nine Foundation Establishnt Pills like Ouyang Yun.

[You stood on the high platform, looking down at the Qi Refining juniors below, feeling dazed, only then realizing you had practiced cultivation for one complete cycle of sixty years.]

[The scene where your father guided you into the Immortal Dao seed like yesterday; you shattered this lingering sentintality, preparing to welco the various powers.]

[Master Yunding was very pleased with your breakthrough, acknowledging the challenges of the Alchemy Dao and Immortal Dao.]

[Many Foundation Establishnt Powerhouses congratulated you joyfully; you could feel genuine respect from them, not solely stemming from the Cloud Cauldron Pavilion.]

Ouyang Yun remained dressed in white, with no embellishnts, except for a golden cloud pattern on his collar that was the only noticeable feature.

Seventy years of ti hadn’t left a trace on Ouyang Yun’s face.

Ouyang Yun stood tall and graceful, his features as handso as jade, chatting and laughing with various big shots with ease and composure, making nurous female cultivators blush and their eyes bewildered.

With looks, spirit stones, talent, cultivation, and capability, Ouyang Yun fulfilled all the fantasies female cultivators had for a Dao Companion.

[You politely declined the various powers’ attempts to send won your way, expressly stating that you didn’t plan to rebuild the Ouyang family.]
