“This…”
Wang Ba couldn’t help but look up at Bai Yu, a little taken aback.
Bai Yu didn’t look at him, he poured himself another bowl of wine and casually said:
“What Elder Lu said is true, the materials given to you are extremely precious. It’s painful to watch a Qi Refining cultivator like yourself use them, so it’s better to simply give you a chance. With the power of the Foundation Establishment stage, properly use these things.”
“But remember this—if there are no results… You wouldn’t want to experience the methods of the Blood Bone Dao and the Puppet Dao.”
“Yes, Wang Ba understands! I won’t let Mr. Bai and Elder Lu down.”
Wang Ba quickly bowed his head in respect.
“Alright, put these away. You’re lucky. There aren’t many people in our sect who are good at nurturing Spirit Chickens, otherwise, these things wouldn’t have fallen to you.”
“Yes, I am really grateful for my senior’s care.”
The atmosphere soon returned to its normal state of drinking wine.
Due to the matters of rearing Spirit Chickens and the Crystal Spirit Peach Wine, Bai Yu had made frequent visits and both of them had become familiar with one other.
Accompanied by fine wine, they struck up casual chats like always.
But it was mostly Bai Yu talking, with Wang Ba listening and occasionally asking some questions.
“It’s a shame. East Saint Station will soon not be as peaceful as it is now.”
Bai Yu suddenly sighed.
The slight movement in Wang Ba’s heart showed his confusion: “Why is that?”
“The continuous activity of the Incense Fire Dao outside and occasional appearances of the East Saint Sect have made everyone in the sect wary, keeping East Saint Station quiet for the last few years.”
“But…once Elder Lu comes out of his seclusion after succeeding with his task, he’s going to set an example by going after the people of the Incense Fire Dao.” Bai Yu casually explained.
Having been prompted, Wang Ba quickly understood.
He subsequently felt a bit regretful, it seemed that his peaceful days were coming to an end.
“Of course, you don’t need to worry. Even with compulsory missions or drafts, they now have nothing to do with you. Your biggest task right now is still to raise Spirit Chickens.”
Seeing Wang Ba appearing somewhat worried, Bai Yu immediately offered words of comfort.
Wang Ba, hearing his words, let out a small sigh of relief.
From the fact that Lu Yuansheng had specifically given him a Foundation Establishment Pill, it’s clear that he must still value him and would most likely not let him take risks.
However, recalling Lu Yuansheng’s character and tactics, Wang Ba couldn’t help but doubt his own judgment.
If it was anyone else, he would have a little confidence, but if it was Lu Yuansheng, it was truly hard to say.
After all, his unpredictable behavior during the palace incident had left a deep impression on him.
But honestly, if Lu Yuansheng truly intended to harm him, he wouldn’t need to sabotage the Foundation Establishment Pill.
After finishing the wine, and with no more topics to discuss, Bai Yu left after giving instructions on how to use the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Only then did Bu Chan begin serving the food.
She was not yet thirty and like a ripe spirit fruit, just a slight bite and it breaks.
At this moment though, her eyes were full of worry:
“Brother, what did he come to see you about this time?”
“Hehe, it’s a good thing.”
Wang Ba smilingly pushed the box containing the Foundation Establishment Pill towards Bu Chan.
Seeing this, Bu Chan’s expressionless eyes were instantly filled with shock.
“Is… Is this a Foundation Establishment Pill?!”
“Yeah, along with the one that Shen Fu gave, we now have one each.”
Wang Ba effortlessly voiced his arrangement.
However, upon hearing his words, Bu Chan didn’t hesitate and immediately shook her head, “Brother, if you’re planning to challenge the Foundation Establishment bottleneck, you’d better take both of these Foundation Establishment Pills with you.”
“Hehe, it’s unnecessary, don’t you trust me? One is enough…”
Wang Ba began to speak.
But before he could finish, Bu Chan interrupted, her gaze firm, “If you don’t want me to worry, take both Foundation Establishment Pills with you. After all, I’m merely at Qi Refining Stage VII, still far from the Foundation Establishment stage.”
Subtly assisted by Class II Spirit Plant and with a continuous supply of spirit chicken essence, just like Wang Ba, although Bu Chan’s qualifications were mediocre, she had successively broken through within seven years.
“No need…”
Wang Ba continuously waved his hands.
He possessed the secret to prolonging lifespan, and in all his years of cultivation, he had hardly ever used elixirs. In terms of having a solid and pure foundation, there were only a handful in the vast Tianmen Cult that could match up to him at the same stage.
One Foundation Establishment Pill, was already very cautious of him.
However, Bu Chan cut him off decisively, “Brother, have you not heard the saying, ‘a lion uses its full strength even when hunting a rabbit’? Can one afford to be complacent on the path of cultivation? Moreover, the matter with Friend Yu is still fresh, have you forgotten?”
“That’s not the same, he suffered a backlash from his Heart Demon, while 1 am cultivating… urn…”
As he was speaking, Wang Ba suddenly found himself speechless.
Feeling the softness of her lips, the fullness of her body in his palm, and the warmth and delicate scent in his arms, Wang Ba, taken aback, couldn’t help but feel an impulse.
“I don’t want you to end up like Friend Yu…”
With parted lips, Bu Chan spoke softly.
“I understand.”
Wang Ba used his mana to draw the Foundation Establishment Pill on the table into his Storage Bag. He then picked up the already ripe Spirit Fruit in his arms and walked towards the small wooden house.
“But… but I haven’t… the food…”
“No need, you are indeed what I want to eat the most…”
In the market.
In a newly built top-tier Class I Cultivation Room.
Wang Ba sat cross-legged on a futon.
His gaze once again swept over the Storage Bag that Bai Yu had brought over. Seeing the valuable materials inside, he couldn’t help but feel astounded.
A whole bag was filled with extremely rare and precious materials.
In it, there were many Tier III spirit materials that even a Golden Core cultivator would feel envious of.
These were the materials that Wang Ba had requested from Bai Yu. On the surface, they were for nurturing a Stage II lower grade Spirit Chicken into a Stage 11 middle grade one.
In reality, they were the materials he had prepared to assist Jia 15 and Jia 16 in their Bloodline Breakthrough.
Among them were treasures that could help the Mountain Moving Ape undergo another Bloodline Breakthrough, such as the Tier III ‘Immortal Jade Peach’ and the Tier III ‘Formless Flower’.
This was a recipe Wang Ba had obtained from a Beast Control Cultivator’s notes.
Originally, it was used to help another type of Stage II middle grade ape undergo a Bloodline Breakthrough. After Wang Ba obtained it, he modified and adjusted it according to his own knowledge and experience and finally included it in the list.
In fact, he didn’t hold out much hope, but since submitting the list, Bai Yu might not necessarily approve, he simply wrote all the materials he needed right now into it.
What he didn’t expect was that Bai Yu actually approved them all.
No, according to Bai Yu, it was Lu Yuansheng who nodded.
This also gave Wang Ba a more thorough understanding of Tianmen Cult’s determination to cultivate Spirit Chickens.
However, Wang Ba did not focus on this bag of spirit materials, but on another storage bag.
In there were two boxes containing Foundation Establishment Pills and a series of mana supplements he had specially prepared.
Even though he was confident in himself, he made all the necessary preparations.
With this, the various thoughts in his mind gradually diminished.
Finally, his heart gradually calmed down.
Feeling the full state of his body.
Under the faint tug of his Spiritual Sence, he no longer restrained his mana and let the combined mana spread and wash over his limbs and body.
At the same time, he turned the concentration of spiritual energy in the Cultivation Room to the maximum, and his body started to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy with all its strength.
However, apart from once consuming the Blood Method Pill, Wang Ba’s body had not been given any pills, instead he had been using the essence of Spirit Chickens as spirit food. Unknowingly, his body had already completed the first step of Foundation Establishment, marrow cleansing.
As a result, after a short wash, his body had no extra places to absorb and consume this mana.
Suddenly, this mana turned into waves of gas, ricocheting back into the Mana Whirl within his Dantian.
Almost simultaneously, the large amount of spiritual energy drawn from outside was quickly transformed into a green, a blue, and a yellow, three mana streams, constantly blending into his own mana and rapidly pouring into the whirl.
When the mana within the Dantian and the body could no longer increase.
Wang Ba no longer hesitated and held the Foundation Establishment Pill alongside other mana supplements and life-saving pills in his hand.
He summoned the Lifespan Panel and clicked on one of the items.
[Spendable Items: Foundation Establishment Bottleneck, Comprehensive Qualifications, Body Structure, Conversion Requires 2.4 years]
He took a deep breath.
[Current Lifespan -2.4 years]
The next second.
He suddenly felt the mana in his Dantian spun at an astonishing rate. The three mana streams were like three grinding wheels, quickly squeezing and grinding the whirl.
A lot of mana was drawn into the whirl.
In the end, he only felt a tremor in his body.
The whirl became solid, and in the whirl, a drop of blue liquid mana slowly condensed.
Soon, the surrounding spiritual energy was quickly drawn in.
While in the whirl, the liquid mana gradually condensed into two drops, three drops…
This mana occupied only a corner of the Dantian, but it felt as heavy as a weight of a thousand catties.
Wang Ba could clearly feel the overwhelming sensation from his Dantian.
The second step of foundation establishment, the refinement of the mana, was also successfully completed.
The rotation of the mana also quickly slowed down and returned to normal.
This also told Wang Ba that the help of lifespan expenditure had come to an end.
What followed is the critical third step.
With the droplet of mana in his Dantian, Wang Ba, guided by his slowly strengthening spiritual sense, made his way to his brow.
There was where the seeds of spiritual sense were nurtured and also the location of Yin’s Government.
The moment several drops of mana rushed into Yin’s Government.
There was a slight silence in Yin’s Government, then it suddenly shook violently!
No illusions or turbulences in the spiritual senses that other cultivators had spoken of occurred.
Wang Ba only felt his mind go blank for an instant!
He only heard a soul-shaking sound.
Boom!
The next moment, he suddenly lowered his head.
He saw his body, sitting cross-legged on a futon, in the Cultivation Room below.
His body was glowing brightly and was smooth and warm as jade.
The soul has left the body!
The third step was a success!
With the three steps completed, the Foundation Establishment was also considered complete.
At this moment, Wang Ba felt no overwhelming joy, only an indescribable feeling.
He couldn’t help but look back at the past.
He had been on the Dao of Cultivation for nearly seventeen years as a mortal, battling hardships and concentrating on survival.
He had experienced the turmoil of East Saint Sect, and was fortunate to have survived;
He joined the Tianmen Cult as a Heresy Cultivator and suffered much exploitation.
Although he had the ability to manipulate lifespan, even the slightest misstep would lead to irreparable consequences.
Throughout this journey, being an ordinary person in intelligence and temperament, he had walked on thin ice and had reached his limits.
And today.
He had finally successfully established his foundation!
