Chapter 156: Third Level of Foundation Establishment

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

With the two seniors from the headquarters, Pei Huoyu and Perfected Yun Ya, in Qingyang City, no matter how chaotic the outside world was, Shen Ping did not panic at all. Even if the Blood Sacrifice of Divine Transformation that Matchmaker Ceng mentioned really appeared, he would not struggle like an ant like Cloud Mountain Parlour.

This was because at the critical moment, he could still use the authority of a core member to urgently mobilize the large flying ship of the True Treasure Pavilion that was used to transport resources. Because this flying ship had to ensure the safety of a large number of precious resources and items, it was very strong in terms of defensive array formations. It could even temporarily resist a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator.

Another five days passed.

Shen Ping arrived at the second floor of the True Treasure Pavilion. This batch of flying ships had arrived with supplies. Some of the items he had bought in the treasure vault were also among them. This time, he did not buy any supplementary resources like medicinal pills and rare treasures. He had already prepared the resources his wife and concubines needed for their current cultivation. There was no need to buy anything more precious.

After exchanging for items, he walked to the room in the backyard to drink tea and rest.

Psst.

A green light flashed on his finger. The jade slip floated in his palm. This jade slip was the rather famous Views of the Gateway of the Moon Lotus Holy Sect. From the treasure vault, one could only see some information about a woman’s body recorded inside. The details could only be seen after purchasing it.

For example, how could the Inner Charm Fire Body have a higher chance of transforming into a Flame Charm Spirit Body when it was in the Foundation Establishment Realm? If it transformed, what needed to be paid attention to during dual cultivation and how to accurately grasp the special points of this physique.

Apart from that, there were also special illustrations in the jade slip, clearly and meticulously outlining various movements that grasped special points.

Shen Ping watched with relish. There were some methods inside that surprised him greatly. He wished he could return to the small courtyard now and discuss it with his wife and concubines.

“Dual cultivation is divided into four levels. The lower level is the sex of the mortals. It’s fresh at first, but after a long time, it will become more and more boring. Most cultivators’ Dao companions are the same.

“The second level is the deep immersion of the Dao Companion. It can make both parties feel indescribable joy. Coupled with the cultivation technique, the effect is quite good.

“The third level is soul communication. It touches the essence of a cultivator. It’s rare in the world. Even a Nascent Soul Dao companion can rarely reach this level.

“The fourth level is the legendary Return to True…”

The last part of the jade slip made Shen Ping’s eyes light up. He thought of the immersive dual cultivation displayed on the virtual interface. He originally thought that this was the best communication, but he did not expect there to be two levels above it.

“As expected of the Moon Lotus Holy Clan. They’re really of the same generation!” He put away the jade slip. Shen Ping slowly took a sip of the spiritual tea and could not help but ponder.

Immersion Dual Cultivation could increase one’s physique, and he had truly experienced the benefits of a physique transformation these days. If he could climb to a higher level and combine it with a special cultivation technique, he might be able to increase the cultivation speed of his wives and concubines.

“Is Guest Elder Shen inside?” Suddenly, a voice came from outside the room.

Shen Ping came back to his senses and sensed the thick magic power fluctuation on the left side of the door. He hurriedly stood up and walked out to bow respectfully. “Greetings, Senior Lan.”

Perfected Lan, the auction host sent by the Cave Division. She was beautiful and intelligent. Her figure was graceful and tall, and her temperament was very outstanding. Especially her almond-shaped eyes, just by looking at her, one could feel that this woman had a deep background.

“Guest Elder Shen, it’s rare for you to come and sit in the room.” Perfected Lan had bright eyes and white teeth. Her bearing was elegant, and there was an indescribable indifference in her voice.

Shen Ping cupped his hands and said, “I usually cultivate and only come here occasionally. Senior Lan, please come in.”

The two of them walked into the room. He immediately poured two more cups of spiritual tea.

After sitting down, Perfected Lan took a sip and smiled warmly. “Guest Elder Shen is from the Wei Kingdom. To be able to pass the headquarters’ assessment, your attainments in the Dao of Talismans are admirable. However, the path of cultivation is difficult. Becoming a core member is only very convenient in terms of resources. If you want to have achievements in the headquarters in the future, you will need many helpers. It’s difficult for the Wei Kingdom to give you enough support.”

When Shen Ping heard this, he said calmly, “Senior Lan, there seems to be a deeper meaning to your words.”

Perfected Lan glanced at Shen Ping and said gently, “If you are willing to join our Fire Toad Lan Clan, you will be able to obtain enough help. In the future, not only will you be able to stay in the headquarters, you might even be promoted to a C-rank member.” At this point, a blush flashed across her elegant face. “Even I can help you.”

Shen Ping understood the meaning behind it. He smiled and cupped his hands. “It’s my honor that Senior Lan thinks highly of me. However, this matter is very important. I have to consider it carefully.”

The two of them chatted for a while more before Perfected Lan left the room.

Shen Ping was about to leave when another Golden Core cultivator came. Their intentions were similar to Perfected Lan’s. They both wanted to rope Shen Ping into their family.

In response, Shen Ping said the same polite words. He returned to the small courtyard. When he came out of Yu Yan’s room at noon the next day, he saw Pei Huoyu and mentioned this matter.

Pei Huoyu simply said, “Ignore them.”

Shen Ping asked curiously, “Senior Pei, from what Perfected Lan said, other than my own talent, 1 seem to need external help to advance in the headquarters.” He had heard Pei Huoyu mention it before.

“Every level of the core members of the True Treasure Pavilion’s headquarters represents abundant resources. There are many benefits involved. If you rely on yourself, even if you are talented and successfully advance, there will be a difference in resources.

“If there is external support at this time, the treatment will increase greatly. This is only one of the more obvious aspects. You don’t need to know more now. You just need to study the Talisman Scripture diligently.” With that, Pei Huoyu walked out of the courtyard.

Shen Ping followed behind. He subconsciously glanced at the round curve of the close-fitting light armor. The records of Feng Shui in the Views of the Gateway could not help but appear in his mind. Looking at the mountains, looking at the water, listening to the wind, and debate. From this, he could deduce the state of the natural Great Dao.

Unfortunately, there were only mountains in front of him and no water marks.

A few days later, in the quiet room of the spirit pool.

Shen Ping sat cross-legged on a cushion. The smell of his wife and concubines lingered on his body. He calmed down and looked at the virtual interface. Behind the metal and wood spiritual roots, the words ‘breakthrough’ appeared.

Boom!

As he chanted in his heart, the silver frame shook.

Immediately after, invisible energy enveloped Shen Ping’s entire body. His top-grade metal and wood spiritual roots underwent a huge transformation at a visible speed. Through his divine sense, he could clearly see the luster on the surface of the two spiritual roots becoming brighter and brighter.

This process lasted for several hours. The metamorphosis finally ended.

Whoosh.

The metal and wood spiritual roots had just successfully transformed. The magic power in his dantian became turbulent. The meridians and skin all over his body absorbed the abundant spiritual energy in the quiet room of the spiritual pool crazily.

Shen Ping’s expression did not change at all. He hurriedly circulated the Qianyuan Scripture and the large amount of spiritual energy absorbed from the acupoints in his body quickly transformed into magic power. It circulated through his meridians and endlessly gathered in his dantian. Then, it formed a circulation along his meridians.

Time passed slowly.

Half a month later, a thick Foundation Establishment magic power spread out from the quiet room of the spirit pool. Shen Ping, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, slowly opened them. Sensing the increase in magic powers in his dantian, a look of joy appeared on his face.

Third level of Foundation Establishment!

In just a year and a half, he broke through again. Even the true disciples of those sects found it difficult to achieve such a cultivation speed. After all, this was the Foundation Establishment Realm.

“The blood of a strange beast… The restricted resources of the True Treasure Pavilion are actually so powerful!” After Shen Ping stabilized his cultivation, he stood up and took a deep breath.

Although he had long expected that he would be able to break through in a short period of time, he was actually shocked when he really broke through. The path of cultivation took one step at a time. No matter how talented a cultivator was, they could not continuously cross realms.

But now, he had directly climbed to the second level of Foundation Establishment during the headquarters’ assessment. In just a year, he had improved again. If he looked at it from the past, it was simply unbelievable.

Yet it actually happened.

The blood of a strange beast, the transformation of one’s spiritual root, and the support of dual cultivation. All these factors contributed to it.

He put away his emotions. He glanced at the virtual interface.

[Metal Spiritual Root: Heaven Grade (68/600,000)]

[Wood Spiritual Root: Heaven Grade (22/600,000)]

After the transformation of a top-grade spiritual root, the spiritual root aptitude required suddenly increased. However, Shen Ping was mentally prepared.

This was because during the period of his breakthrough, he could clearly sense the absorption efficiency of a heaven-grade spiritual root. It was far from what a top-grade spiritual root could compare to.

When the metal and wood attributes transformed to the top-grade, he could still vaguely sense the absorption of the other spiritual roots. Although towards the end, the other spiritual roots had little effect on the efficiency of the overall absorption of spiritual qi, they still existed. However, when they transformed to the heaven-grade, the other spiritual roots could no longer affect the entire body.

Even without the blood of the strange beast, Shen Ping was confident that he could rely on his heaven-grade spiritual roots to cultivate all the way to the Nascent Soul Realm.

In the small courtyard, his wife and concubines were all waiting quietly. Pei Huoyu was also there. She saw Shen Ping walk out of the quiet room of the spirit pool, and a smile appeared on her valiant face. “Fellow Daoist Shen, congratulations on your breakthrough..”
