Chapter 34: Chapter 34: The Temptation of the Foundation Establishnt Pill
In broad daylight, the Foundation Establishnt battle occurring in Cyan Bamboo Mountain Market attracted the attention of countless cultivators.
Array spiritual light glimred, and awe-inspiring spells shot up into the sky.
Lin Chang’an, seeing this scene from a distance, was not only shocked but also filled with longing.
"Is this... the battle of Foundation Establishnt cultivators!"
Throughout the market, countless young cultivators were equally astonished by this Foundation Establishnt cultivator battle, their hearts stirred with excitent.
Even cultivators at the late-stage Qi Refining level had a resolute look in their eyes.
"Haha, old Zhou, I didn’t expect an extra gain today, and your grandson with the Wind Spirit Root is not bad."
Amidst the rumbling noise, a heroic laugh ca from afar.
This mont made countless people in the market realize that the Zhou Family had been planning for the Foundation Establishnt Pill, a fact known to all, but no one expected that the Zhou Family had already obtained the pill.
Yet, it seed trouble had arisen!
"Feng’Er!"
Amidst the booming explosions, ca the beastly roar of a giant tortoise and the heart-wrenching, fury-laden howl of the Zhou Family’s ancestor.
"You are the remnants of the Demon Cult!"
Suddenly, a female Foundation Establishnt cultivator from the Profound Sound Pavilion shouted in surprise and anger, yet the escaping figure turned back with a sinister laugh and said:
"Haha, the head of this young girl from the Profound Sound Pavilion is enough to exchange for a Foundation Establishnt Pill at the Divine Sword Sect."
Amidst the wild laughter, the market’s array emitted another round of rumbles, revealing another group that broke through the market’s array.
Lin Chang’an, hiding on the rooftop, shrank his neck.
"Considering what’s being said, not only was the Foundation Establishnt Pill of the Zhou Family and the Profound Sound Pavilion disciple taken, but even the head of the genius from the Profound Sound Pavilion can be exchanged for a Foundation Establishnt Pill!"
In his heart, a bold idea erged out of nowhere, causing Lin Chang’an to break out in cold sweat.
"Even I’m tempted, let alone others."
A Foundation Establishnt Pill! Who wouldn’t be tempted by it.
The brief battle of Foundation Establishnt cultivators amazed countless loose cultivators in the market.
The appearance of the Foundation Establishnt Pill stirred people’s hearts.
The market cald down, yet everyone was aware of the undercurrents beneath this calm.
...
Gathering Immortals Tower.
The next day, as the market seed calm, Lin Chang’an couldn’t resist his curiosity and ca to the Gathering Immortals Tower to gather information.
"Brother Lin, I just learned about this too, sothing big has happened."
Upon eting, Little Marquis Shen Lie’s expression was unpleasant, lowering his voice as he spoke:
"The Zhou Family hid a descendant with a Wind Spirit Root; unknown when they beca allied through marriage with a female cultivator family from the Profound Sound Pavilion. Both sides are reportedly gifted individuals.
Originally, Foundation Establishnt cultivators from both families ca to fetch the Foundation Establishnt Pill, introducing the juniors. But unexpectedly, they t tribulation cultivators, facing disaster, and the Foundation Establishnt Pill was stolen, even the two juniors were implicated."
While Shen Lie was shocked, he couldn’t help but be a bit gleeful.
And Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but marvel.
"Such a situation, it seems the market has been flooded with many outside tribulation cultivators."
"More than just that!" Shen Lie shook his head, gazing out the window at the market, his eyes both eager and worried.
"I am worried that the market will descend into chaos, yet also hopeful, because only in chaos can the business of the guild prosper."
Shen Lie’s blatant words left Lin Chang’an speechless, but upon careful consideration, it seed quite reasonable.
For him, it seed the sa logic applied.
The more chaotic the market, the easier it was to sell his talismans.
At that mont, as if tacitly understood, both had so ideas.
"It’s not that simple."
However, at this ti, Lu Qingqing walked in with her hair styled maturely, her expression carrying a touch of solemnity.
"Little Junior Sister."
"Madam." Shen Lie awkwardly scratched his head, while Lin Chang’an referred to her as Little Junior Sister.
Yet Lu Qingqing shook her head and sighed.
"I just ca back from Sister Yun, do you know the situation about those Demon Cult remnants?"
Both were confused, not even Lin Chang’an had heard about them.
However, Lu Qingqing began to explain with a shake of her head.
"The Demon Cult was originally the Profound Yin Divine Sect. Over four hundred years ago, the Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Demon Cult went missing, and then the cult fell into chaos. The entire Yue Kingdom was chaotic for nearly a hundred years, leading to the ergence of the Three Major Sects which stabilized the situation..."
Listening to Lu Qingqing’s words, Lin Chang’an and Shen Lie were trendously shocked, having never imagined this hidden history of the Yue Kingdom.
However, although the words sounded nice, none of the three were fools.
To put it bluntly, the current Three Major Sects might well have originated from the Profound Yin Divine Sect.
"I see."
Nonetheless, under such clarifications, neither Lin Chang’an nor Shen Lie openly acknowledged it.
Lu Qingqing spoke with a grave voice: "According to Sister Yun, the Profound Yin Divine Sect fled to the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons over three hundred years ago. Who would have thought there’d still be remnants."
"This ti, the casualties are secondary; more importantly, it’s the trust!"
Following Lu Qingqing’s words, both Shen Lie and Lin Chang’an’s expressions beca more solemn.
Due to their own interest, slight chaos outside gave them joy, but if things got too chaotic, their own safety could be compromised.
"Don’t laugh at Brother Lin; even I felt tempted when I first heard."
Lu Qingqing patted her chest in lingering fear, while Lin Chang’an sighed deeply.
"Not just you, Little Junior Sister, anyone in the market would be tempted by the allure of the Foundation Establishnt Pill."
There are three paths to obtaining a Foundation Establishnt Pill: first is preparing it oneself, which takes ti, involves the difficulty of hunting Tier Two Demon Beasts, and requires gathering other materials - easily becoming a wedding dress for others.
The second option is robbing soone else’s Foundation Establishnt Pill, despite them having support from Foundation Establishnt cultivators, the difficulty of hunting Tier Two Demon Beasts is not less challenging than facing Foundation Establishnt cultivators.
Most importantly, it only requires a single venture.
Now the bounty offered by the Divine Sword Sect provides countless loose cultivators a third option.
That is hunting the geniuses of the two Major Sects - also enough to acquire a Foundation Establishnt Pill; after all, no matter how talented one is, they’re still at the late-stage Qi Refining.
Although the two Major Sects might counteract, but deciding where to assassinate - a place unfamiliar versus familiar territory, the success rate is clear.
Given a choice, why not pick the least challenging one?
"Stirring waves, the Immortal Cultivation Realm will not be peaceful."
Lin Chang’an sighed deeply, then shook his head to dismiss the matter from his mind; he was only at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer, Foundation Establishnt was still far away.
Moreover, a Foundation Establishnt Pill costs so many Spirit Stones, why risk one’s life?
Just give him ti, with his earnings as a Tier One Upper Grade Talisman Master, buying a Foundation Establishnt Pill is not difficult.
"Besides, the one involved in the mishap is the most talented genius in a century from Profound Sound Pavilion, Fairy Ni Chang’s clan sister. Recently, it’s best to be careful in the market."
"Indeed, she’s the Fairy Ni Chang, who’s reached late-stage Foundation Establishnt, only a step away from Core Formation!"
Shen Lie exclaid, even Lin Chang’an was amazed, his eyes reflecting a hint of reminiscence.
The last ti he heard this na was when they first entered the Immortal Cultivation Realm, on the journey before the assessnt, old Lu spoke of the legendary talents from the Three Major Sects.
Among them, Fairy Ni Chang was touted as the foremost genius among the Three Major Sects in a century.
In other words, at the sa age when they just began their cultivation, she had already reached Foundation Establishnt.
Comparison is truly maddening!
