“Are you sure you want to apply for your Foundation Establishment treasures?” In Building One of Crimson Mountain, it was still the same teacher Luo who, frowning, looked at the handsome young man in front of him.
If he remembered correctly, this individual was just a third-year student, already intending to attempt Foundation Establishment?
Although most freshmen of the Dance Tool Dao Academy were at the peak of Qi
Cultivation when they entered, the majority of students would only try
Foundation Establishment after their sixth year.
Though it wasn’t unheard of for a third-year student to try it, Chen Mobai was the first in his grade.
“Yes, Teacher Luo, I feel that I’ve reached a bottleneck, and it’s time to take the
next step.”
“Have you mastered the Borderline Technique?
“Mmtn, I was lucky enough to comprehend it.
Hearing this, Luo Hezheng showed a look of approval.
This child really was a genius, possibly becoming the first in their grade beyond Zhongli Tianyu, to successfully establish their foundation.
Knowing that the student before him had mastered the Borderline Technique, Luo Hezheng no longer delved into it, directly giving him a full set of three Foundation Establishment Treasures-benefits every student of the Daoist Academy is entitled to.
“Teacher Luo, I also want to exchange my credits for two portions of Profound
Fire Spirit Liquid.”
“Two portions?”
Luo Hezheng confirmed once again, showing no surprise that Chen Mobai wanted to exchange for two portions. After Chen Mobai nodded in agreement, Luo Hezheng swiped his student ID, then fetched two fist-sized bottles of dark red spiritual liquid.
“Thank you, Teacher Luo.”
After receiving his three Foundation Establishment treasures and two portions of Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, Chen Mobai returned to his rented cabin outside and made a phone call to Qing Nu.
“How much longer will your brother take to arrive?
“Probably two days; I just gave him the Jade Marrow Pill yesterday.”
“I really can’t thank you enough, wasting your precious credits.”
“It’s fine, I’m willing to help. Besides, didn’t you trade the Profound Fire Spirit
Liquid with me? It’s an equal exchange.”
Though she said this, Chen Mobai knew that as a Heavenly Spiritual Root, Qing
Nu didn’t need these items for Foundation Establishment.
After hanging up, Chen Mobai was pondering how to repay Qing Nu’s kindness in the future.
“Jade Marrow Pill” is a spirit supplement from Jumang Daoist Academy that assists with Foundation Establishment. Like the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, it can increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment by 10%.
Taking this pill can help a cultivator to complete the marrow washing process. The “jade Marrow Pill” alone isn’t much, but if taken in conjunction with the “Profound Fire Spirit Liquid”, the first step of Foundation Establishment, Changing Tendons and Washing the Marrow, can be 100% successful.
Chen Mobai had heard from Wang Xingyu of the Alchemy Department that – most of the elder school brothers and sisters usually contact Jumang Dao Academy to trade their academy’s Profound Fire Spirit Liquid for their “Jade
Marrow Pill”.
As it pertained to Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai had no choice but to thicken his face and mention the matter to Qing Nu. After hearing about it, she agreed without hesitation.
Originally, Qing Nu planned to give the pill to Chen Mobai as a gift, but he couldn’t accept it without offering something in return. He insisted on giving her the equivalent amount of Profound Fire Spirit Liquid.
Considering his feelings, Qing Nu hesitated but then agreed.
Although she didn’t need the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, she could give it to her younger siblings.
Kong Feichen had also reached Qi Cultivation Perfection this year and was prepared to attempt Foundation Establishment. Qing Nu had exchanged a Jade Marrow Pill for him too.
If they had the Dance Tool Dao Academy’s Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, given his Different Spiritual Root talent, plus the three Foundation Establishment Treasures, he was virtually guaranteed of success.
The two days passed in a flash.
The moment Kong Feichen knocked on the door, Chen Mobai had just put his pen down from drawing the Crimson Flame Sword Talisman.
“Here we are.”
“This is a Jade marrow pill, please have a look.”
As soon as Kong Feichen entered, he immediately placed a milky-white pill encased in ice on the table.
“As Qing Nu’s brother, I naturally trust you.
Chen Mobai didn’t check and accepted the Jade marrow pill directly. He handed over a bottle of prepared Profound Fire Spirit Liquid. Kong Feichen took it without a glance, put it into his breast pocket and walked away.
“Won’t you stay for dinner?”
“I’ll treat you after I have established my foundation.
Kong Feichen’s words left Chen Mobai speechless. It seemed like this guy always wanted to surpass him.
Looking at the Jade marrow pill and the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, as well as the three treasures for Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai couldn’t help thinking back to last year’s big competition in the sect.
in the crucial battle between the top 48 and 24, he met Mu Yuan, the fourth-ranking true disciple, and had no power to resist.
After the event, when he thought about it in accordance with Qing Ping’s theory, he felt that the main reason was that his realm was not high enough. But he had already achieved the ninth level of Qi cultivation and any higher level would require Foundation Establishment.
Chen Mobai was very flexible in his thinking and was not bound by the idea that only Foundation Building Pills could be used to establish the foundation in the Tianhe Realm.
At the end of the third semester, he felt he could not waste the law practice he had gained from consuming the Soul Awakening Dao Pill.
He needed to keep the status quo.
Even if his Foundation Establishment failed this time, he could push his ninth level Qi cultivation to its peak.
With the Jade marrow pill and the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, he could definitely complete the Change Tendons and Wash Marrow process. Adding the three treasures of Foundation Establishment and the vortex of spiritual power painstakingly cultivated over the years, he should also be able to reach the step of Condensing Qi into Liquid.
Because he hadn’t achieved perfection in his ninth-level Qi cultivation, the Foundation Establishment tool predicted that he only had a 26% success rate in Foundation Establishment. However, Chen Mobai didn’t plan on succeeding in one go.
He intended to stick to the Critical Law.
in professional terms, it is called “a half-step in Foundation Establishment.” Participating in the sect’s big competition with this realm this year, he could definitely trounce everyone.
“Mu Yuan, just you wait!”
Although he knew his fighting skills were somewhat mediocre, the fact that he couldn’t fight back at all against Mu Yuan last year still made Chen Mobai unhappy.
After getting an assurance from the teacher in the Dance Tool Dao Academy that there’s nothing wrong with the Jade marrow pill, Chen Mobai applied for an intermediate-grade Rank-3 Cultivation Room with a spirit vein and started his first Foundation Establishment.
First, he took the “Vein Protection Pill”. Once the medicinal effect spread throughout his body, he took the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid and drank it all in one gulp.
Instantly, it felt like a hot surge fell into his Dantian and merged into his Longevity Spiritual Power, circulating through the twelve meridians during the Qi circulation.
Chen Mobai started to sweat, but he knew it was normal when consuming the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid. Then he took the Jade marrow pill, and soon he could feel the slight numbness in his bones, especially his spine, even feeling mild pains…
“Junior brother Chen, this is your magic artifact for this year.”
In the Spirit Plant Department, Lu Jun smilingly handed a Rank-2 lower-grade Divine Wood Sword to him.
“Oh, has Inspector Sun given his blessing this year?
Chen Mobai was somewhat surprised as he took over his first ever Ranked-2 magic artifact, even though it was loaned by the department.
“Originally, the deputy head was in disagreement since Brother Li Li is his man. But due to last time’s incident involving Brother Liu Guilong, the head harbored a grudge against the deputy head. The moment Inspector Sun mentioned it, the head immediately agreed. As the ratio was two votes to one, Junior Brother Chen, your application for the Divine Wood sword was approved.”
Chen Mobai felt the wine he gifted was not wasted. After taking the sword, he flicked it with a finger and the sound was like a dragon’s chant.
“Brother Lu, do you think if I manage to seize first place among the true disciples this year, will there be a share for me in the Foundation Building Pills that Senior Uncle Zeng is refining?”
