...

"This time, interpreting the Wan Ling Catalog has brought great benefits..."

"But afterward, I became somewhat engrossed in the Tathagata Divine Palm Scripture and was forced to use the Great Sun Tathagata Mantra... accidentally increasing my proficiency by 30 points."

In the dormitory.

Fang Xing sat cross-legged, scrutinizing his attribute panel, contemplating gains and losses.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed.

Below the entry for the Great Sun Tathagata Mantra, it seemed as though another sub-category was forming, much like the ’Heavenly Mother’s Mighty Golden Lotus Twin Guardian Manual’!

Through the haze, he received a segment of information named ’Great Sun Tathagata Divine Palm’!!

But due to the assimilation of too few Martial Arts realm nuances, it had not yet materialized.

The rune that represented ’Great Sun Tathagata Divine Palm’ flickered for a moment before settling down.

"Damn it... I’ve found that the ’Great Sun Tathagata Mantra’ always brings me some little surprise..."

Fang Xing was so exasperated he nearly cursed, uncertain whether to look forward to or resist it.

However, after a moment, he calmed down.

"The Tathagata Divine Palm Scripture is considered one of Blue Star University’s Martial Arts Department’s ultimate skills... With my mere Outer Realm strength, even if I could learn it out of my league, I wouldn’t have the power to activate it, like a pony trying to pull a cart... ultimately unsatisfactory."

"In the future, when I am more powerful, the Wan Ling Catalog will still be there; if I want to learn, I can learn... What’s there to regret?"

"Am I going to abandon my own path just for an ultimate Martial Arts skill?"

"Let’s just continue doing what I should do..."

...

Time flowed like water.

Purple Swallow Immortal City.

In a cave mansion with First Rank Top Grade Spiritual Energy.

Fang Xing’s Cultivation Avatar sat cross-legged, silently refining elixirs.

Suddenly!

The Spiritual Energy in the cave wove into a mist around him, swirling, then entirely absorbed...

Crack!

There came a crisp sound from within Fang Xing’s body.

"Qi Cultivation Ninth Level, achieved!"

Fang Xing stood up, feeling the mana in his dantian, which had surged by nearly half compared to before, and a smile appeared on his face.

"I truly am an unparalleled genius..."

With a First Rank Top Grade Spiritual Energy cave mansion and a multitude of elixirs, coupled with his Spirit Root Talent and Core Formation Technique, his progress in cultivation was incredibly rapid!

"The Gold Attribute mana comes with a sharp quality, giving me some advantages while breaking through... Of course, the reason why I could progress directly from the Perfect Eighth Level of Qi Cultivation to the Ninth Level is all thanks to my talent."

Typically, a Cultivator reaching the Ninth Level of Qi Cultivation would start preparing for Foundation Establishment.

Because the Perfect Realm of Qi Cultivation is the pinnacle of the Ninth Level, where the accumulation of mana continues without any bottlenecks.

Additionally, if one is not afraid of a high failure rate, at the Ninth Level of Qi Cultivation, one could force the flow of mana to attempt Foundation Establishment.

For Fang Xing, this was even more so.

"My Foundation Establishment, even without using a Foundation Establishment Pill, has a 90% assurance... The remaining 10% accounts for deliberate disturbances, lack or flaw in the cultivation technique, going berserk, and other special conditions..."

After all, the Heavenly Spirit Root encounters very few bottlenecks before Core Formation.

Even if one cultivates to Perfect Foundation Establishment, without the need for various Core Formation Spirit Items, there’s still a decent chance of forming a Core.

"However, to be on the safe side, I should still consume a Foundation Establishment Pill, the added probability for successful Foundation Establishment doesn’t matter much, the main benefit is preventing severe injury in case of failure during Foundation Establishment..."

For the Loose Cultivators in the Cultivation World of Zheng Country, Foundation Establishment Pills are considered divine, a chance at the Dao.

Other than the three major Immortal Sects that provide a few Foundation Establishment Pills to their True Disciples periodically, other sources of the pills are quite scarce and unstable.

The families in Zheng Country, small sects, and Foundation Establishment Cultivators often rely on braving death through sheer force or using Foundation Establishment Spirit Items.

"Purple Swallow Immortal City, as the holy land for Loose Cultivators in Zheng Country, has an auction of Foundation Establishment Pills every few years... However, due to the instability, who has the patience to wait for several years?"

Fang Xing flicked his finger, and a golden Sword Qi flew out, piercing inches deep into the rock wall.

This was a small spell attached to the Qi Cultivation phase of the ’Gold Transformation Technique’, named ’Geng Metal Sword Qi’. After reaching the Ninth Level of Qi Cultivation, the Sword Qi of Geng Metal had reached Great Success. At this point, between his five fingers, there were streaks of golden Sword Qi, like gold snakes slithering.

"In the grand auction of the Immortal City, a Foundation Establishment Pill auction appears every few years, while every other year, there’s an auction for Foundation Establishment Spirit Items..."

Foundation Establishment Spirit Items have a certain allure for Fang Xing.

For instance, the ’Protecting Vein Pill’ that guarantees one does not die if Foundation Establishment fails—if available, he would certainly not miss it.

Besides that, the local Cultivators like to use various malevolent auras to temper their physique and mana... as aids in Foundation Establishment.

To Fang Xing, this represents a rare special essence of the universe!

"In the Treasure Vault, there is a special Condensing Pill Technique, which during the crafting of the Martial Arts Golden Core, can meld in the unique essence of the universe, bolstering the Golden Core’s foundation..."

"Of course, not any essence will do, it must be compatible..."

"I can’t miss the annual grand auction..."

"Finally, to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill, it seems I’ll have to seek someone to combine efforts in alchemy."

Within Purple Swallow Immortal City, there are Second Rank Pill Masters capable of concocting Foundation Establishment Pills.

Although Fang Xing trusts Su Ye somewhat more, the latter apparently won’t return any time soon, so he has to seek other connections.
