Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 199: Chapter 129: Late-Stage Foundation Establishment!

White Cloud Immortal City,

Master White Cloud’s Cave Mansion.

Zhou Buqi stood with hands hanging at his sides, facing an elderly man with graying hair.

The elderly man was none other than the renowned Master White Cloud.

Just by appearance, one might think he was an ordinary old farmer, and no one would guess he was Xui Country’s most famous Loose Cultivator!

”Disciple pays respects to Master!”

Although Zhou Buqi held a position of high power in the Immortal City, he was now showing a respectful demeanor, bowing to the elderly man in front of him.

”So it’s you, Buqi. What is it?”

The elderly man asked with a smile.

”Master, do you remember the talented Alchemy Master I mentioned to you? He has successfully broken through to Tier Two High-Grade and can assist Master in refining the Crystal Condensing Pill.”

Zhou Buqi spoke slowly, with an extremely solemn tone.

The Crystal Condensing Pill is the best treasure to assist Foundation Establishment Peak Cultivators in breaking through to Core Formation.

Each pill is considered a precious gem. If it can create a True Pill Cultivator, it can affect the entire Xui Country’s situation.

”Oh?”

Upon hearing this, the elderly man’s eyes lit up.

”Has this person finally broken through? We’ve waited for twenty years. It’s time to refine the Crystal Condensing Pill!”

White Cloud Immortal City has recently been treating Zhou Xun so well in hopes he would quickly breakthrough to Tier Two High-Grade to assist Master White Cloud in refining the Crystal Condensing Pill.

”Huai’an has now cultivated to the Foundation Establishment Peak, indeed a fortuitous timing!”

The elderly man stroked his chin and said.

Now all materials needed for the Crystal Condensing Pill are prepared, and the third assistant refiner is also in place.

Just waiting to begin,

With the Crystal Condensing Pill in hand, coupled with Xing Huai’an’s aptitude, it’s likely to add a True Pill Cultivator to White Cloud Immortal City.

Thus preserving the foundation of White Cloud Immortal City.

”I’ve already notified that Alchemist to come; they should arrive within a few days!”

”Very well, when they arrive, you bring them over, and I’ll meet them first!”

”As you command!”

...

Elsewhere, Zhou Xun was deeply immersed in nature, the spell autonomously operating.

The hundredth drop of liquid mana at his Dantian gradually took shape.

As time passed.

”Boom—”

At the moment when the first white-bottomed liquid mana took shape, all mana drops instantly resonated, and the overall strength suddenly rose a notch.

Simultaneously, a massive mana aura spread out.

Song Yiqing, standing at the other end of the Flying Shuttle, was almost unsteady under this aura and nearly fell off the Flying Shuttle.

”Husband, you’ve... broken through to Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment!”

Song Yiqing opened her mouth wide; just now, she thought Zhou Xun was immersed in the beautiful scenery.

Zhou Xun had not told anyone his real cultivation. In Song Yiqing’s impression, Zhou Xun was a Third-Layer Foundation Establishment Early-Stage Cultivator.

Breaking through to Middle-Stage within more than twenty years of Foundation Establishment, this speed was within the reasonable range.

”Husband is only sixty now and is already a Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.”

”At this pace, breaking through to Late-Stage Foundation Establishment within a hundred years is feasible, which also means a likely chance to advance to the Core Formation Stage in the future.”

One must understand that even in the Cloud Light Sect, only a minority of Foundation Establishment Cultivators could cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Peak before reaching the limits of their lifespan.

”With husband’s talent, he certainly can successfully break through and achieve the Fake Pill Realm, with a lifespan of up to five hundred years!”

As for the True Pill Realm, she dared not imagine, as in the entire Xui Country for the past five hundred years, Master White Cloud was the only True Pill Cultivator not from the Cloud Light Sect.

Thinking of this, Song Yiqing looked at Zhou Xun with even more admiration.

”Who would have thought I could become the bedside partner of a Fake Pill Cultivator!”

Suddenly realizing her own cultivation, she couldn’t help but feel somewhat ashamed.

At the same time, she resolved to cultivate well, at least breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage to accompany Zhou Xun for another hundred years.

...

At this time, Zhou Xun opened his eyes on the other side.

With a peculiar expression on his face.

”I didn’t expect that I had already let go of the obsession to breakthrough before practicing alchemy, only to have an epiphany and breakthrough now!”

”Truly, when one plants flowers purposely, they do not bloom; when one plants willows inadvertently, they grow shade!”

With a sigh, he immediately looked within himself.

Looking at the hundred drops of liquid mana at his Dantian, Zhou Xun was very satisfied.

Generally speaking, the mana strength of the Seventh-Layer Foundation Establishment is twice that of the Sixth-Layer Foundation Establishment Peak.

This is the effect of breaking through to the Late-Stage realm.

The greater the mana strength, the longer and more powerful the same Magical Artifact can be sustained.

This is why Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators can crush Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Zhou Xun then took out a stack of Tier Two Spirit Iron.

Due to the increase in cultivation, the amount of Spirit Iron Zhou Xun prepared this time was as much as a hundred layers, stacked three feet thick.

Then he took out the Top-Grade Flying Knife Magical Artifact, activating it with a point towards the Spirit Iron.

The flying knife instantly transformed into a streak of golden lightning, piercing towards the Spirit Iron with a swish.

”Ding—”

A low sound echoed.

The flying knife penetrated more than two feet into the Spirit Iron.

”Compared to before, the power has increased nearly twofold. With just mana cultivation, I can handle most Foundation Establishment Cultivators!”

Then he tested his Divine Sense strength.

At the Sixth-Layer Foundation Establishment, his Divine Sense already spread to a range of eleven hundred feet; now, breaking through to the Late-Stage, there should be a considerable increase.

”One thousand feet!”

”One thousand two hundred feet!”

...

Until it reached eighteen hundred feet, it finally met its limit.

Generally speaking, the Divine Sense range of a Fake Pill Cultivator is about one thousand feet, while a True Pill Realm Cultivator is twice that, two thousand feet.

Zhou Xun now was at eighteen hundred feet, only slightly less compared to an Early-Stage True Core Cultivator.

”When I breakthrough to the Eighth-Layer Foundation Establishment, the Divine Sense strength should be indistinguishable from an Early-Stage True Pill Cultivator!”

Using the Thousand Illusion Mask, he could barely disguise himself as a True Pill Cultivator!

”With my current Divine Sense and mana, plus Body Refining Cultivation, I can barely count as having a Fake Pill level combat power. If I add those Talismans and the Quasi-Third Tier Puppet!”

”Facing an Early-Stage True Core Cultivator who just broke through, I could also have a chance to fight!”

Thinking back to the days when Master Fengyue hunted him down.

If Zhou Xun faced them again now, he would no longer be as embarrassed as before!

Then, a crisp voice echoed in Zhou Xun’s ears, like a clear spring flowing sound.

”Congratulations, husband, on breaking through to Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment. The path is destined!”

Song Yiqing smiled warmly, her eyes filled with light, unable to contain her admiration.

Zhou Xun was initially taken aback upon hearing Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment, then laughed heartily and nodded.

This girl didn’t know he was already at the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment!

Then, with a big hand, Zhou Xun pulled Song Yiqing down onto the Flying Shuttle.

”Rip” went a sound.

The white air was exposed, quivering twice.

The smooth sensation made Zhou Xun unable to resist.

”Today’s epiphany, we must celebrate well!”

Then the Cyan Light Shuttle flew in a bizarre trajectory up and down for an entire day.

...

Three days later, at the East City Gate of White Cloud Immortal City.

A streak of cyan escape light descended from the sky, and two young men and women of extraordinary appearance jumped out.
