Chapter 38 Early Foundation Building Stage
More than half a year later.
Qin Fang sat listlessly on the futon in the Firewood House, glancing at the Zhuanzhuan secondhand trading platform every now and then.
"This is the seventh Foundation Establishment Pill..."
Qin Fang murmured to himself, watching as the Foundation Establishment Pills that Han Li possessed on the platform dwindled one by one.
A month ago, he had completely refined and absorbed the medicinal power of the first Foundation Establishment Pill, and his cultivation level had risen from the twelfth level of the Qi Refining stage to the peak of the thirteenth level.
Even among the Qi Refining stage disciples in Huangfeng Valley, he is already among the most outstanding.
"It's been almost three days since I last used a Foundation Establishment Pill."
"Under normal circumstances, Han Li should immediately take another Foundation Establishment Pill to continue his attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage..."
Since Qin Fang had nothing else to do, he focused most of his attention on the Zhuanzhuan platform.
"Here it comes!~"
In an instant, the number of Foundation Establishment Pills displayed on the Zhuanzhuan second-hand platform for Han Li decreased by one again.
"Tsk tsk~"
"If the outside world knew that this kid was so 'extravagant'..."
"They'll probably hang this kid up and whip him for days and nights!"
"Speaking of which... how many Foundation Establishment Pills did Han Li take before breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage?!"
"Eight or nine?"
"But it doesn't matter. Maybe my appearance as a butterfly will cause other things to happen."
"Even if it's only a dozen or so, it's none of my business!"
"But Han Li's aptitude is indeed poor enough. Despite consuming so many Foundation Establishment Pills, he still failed to establish his foundation."
Qin Fang began to offer his opinions.
...Three days later.
Qin Fang's mood became somewhat anxious.
Logically speaking, if Han Li had failed to establish his foundation, he would have taken another Foundation Establishment Pill right now.
But now there's been no further activity.
Did he successfully establish his foundation, but fainted due to the excessive medicinal power within his body, or...?
Qin Fang wasn't quite sure.
However, to be on the safe side, Qin Fang still felt it best to wait another day before taking action, minimizing the risks.
The next day, Qin Fang truly understood what it meant for time to drag on endlessly!
In this anxious wait filled with uncertainty, Qin Fang finally managed to pass another day.
On this day...
"We can't wait any longer!"
Qin Fang's eyes sharpened.
Since he no longer consumes a Foundation Establishment Pill every three days or so as before, something must have happened to Han Li.
If that's the case, why hesitate and look back?
Qin Fang opened the Zhuanzhuan second-hand platform and selected the Foundation Establishment Pill option.
"trade……"
A large sum of low-grade spirit stones was instantly deducted from the account.
next moment……
Qin Fang now held three gleaming blue pills in his hand.
It is undoubtedly the Foundation Establishment Pill!
Meanwhile, in the Earth Fire House on the other side, Han Li, who was unconscious on the ground, naturally did not notice that three of the Foundation Establishment Pills he had refined, which were casually placed not far from him, had inexplicably disappeared.
…………
Han Li slowly woke up.
To his great surprise, he discovered that he had actually succeeded in breaking through the barrier while unconscious, raising his cultivation level to the Foundation Establishment stage!
Overwhelmed with surprise and joy, Han Li almost immediately tried to jump up, but instead fell flat on his face.
"Oh no..."
Amidst mixed feelings of joy and sorrow, Han Li realized that the medicinal power within his body had almost reached its limit.
If the residual medicinal power of these Foundation Establishment Pills is allowed to remain, it will be extremely dangerous for me!
After a moment's thought, Han Li realized that he needed to absorb the medicinal power as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if it breaks out, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Unfortunately, Han Li had no intention of establishing his foundation on the spot before coming to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill. He came simply to refine the pill, and it was all a spur-of-the-moment decision.
It wasn't until later, when they discovered that the Earth Fire House was not only safe but also undisturbed by the outside world, that they began to consider building their foundation on the spot.
Therefore, Han Li had not prepared any Foundation Establishment stage cultivation techniques at all.
All he has now is the "Qingyuan Sword Manual" that his cheap master, Li Huayuan, casually tossed to him.
With no other choice, Han Li naturally had to first cultivate the "Azure Origin Sword Manual" to consume the medicinal power in his body.
Amidst the unexpected events, Han Li remained completely unaware of the unusual nature of the Foundation Establishment Pill.
This is perfectly normal...
Now that he has successfully established his foundation, the Foundation Establishment Pill is no longer as important to Han Li as it was to the Qi Refining stage.
Faced with the possibility of the medicinal power within his body erupting at any moment, Han Li had no time to worry about the Foundation Establishment Pill!
...Eleven months later.
Han Li looked at the bright blue Foundation Establishment Pill and a trace of doubt arose in his heart.
The number of Foundation Establishment Pills I refined...
Could I have remembered it wrong?!
A look of confusion appeared on Han Li's face, but soon, after checking that the restriction was intact, he finally found some remaining Foundation Establishment Pill powder in the earth fire.
Han Li thus concluded that he had accidentally knocked over the Foundation Establishment Pill while he was unconscious, causing it to fall into the earth fire and eventually turn to ashes.
Little did they know that the powder was actually made from discarded pills.
…………
In front of Yuelu Hall.
The ugly man had a worried look on his face and would glance in the direction of the Fire House every now and then.
Because...
Eleven months ago, a disciple of a Nascent Soul stage elder rented one of the rooms, and since then the stone door has been tightly closed, and there has been no further movement.
Almost a year! What Qi Refining disciple would stay in the Earth Fire Chamber for such a long time?!
Only those sect elders in the Foundation Establishment stage can stay for a year or more.
Ugly Man worried that something bad might have happened to that Qi Refining stage disciple in the Earth Fire Chamber.
Ugly Man wasn't worried about the other person's safety. Whether the other person lived or died was none of his business. Even if the other person died in the Fire House he managed, it wouldn't affect him.
The ugly man was worried about... the Core Formation stage ancestor behind that disciple!
After all, this person is his disciple. If the matter is investigated, even if he has not made any mistakes, he will probably suffer a lot.
Just then...
Suddenly, a flash of white light appeared on the palace doors, and then they opened silently.
Then, the ugly man saw a young man with a beaming smile walk out from behind the stone door. It was Han Li, who had been staying in the Earth Fire House for nearly a year.
"Junior brother, why have you been here for so long!"
"If you don't show up soon, I'm afraid I'll..."
"I'm about to..."
"you!"
The ugly man stepped forward, both surprised and delighted, muttering complaints, but soon a look of disbelief appeared on his face.
"Your cultivation technique..."
"No... that can't be..."
"Could it be that you also successfully established your foundation in this fiery underground chamber?!"
The ugly man looked panicked and stammered as he spoke to Han Li.
"also?"
"Someone actually broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage in this fiery underground chamber?!"
Han Li countered with a question, without refuting the other party's "foundation-building words".
Han Li was also very curious: besides himself, there was someone else who had successfully established their foundation in this Earth Fire House?
Judging from this ugly man's tone, it seems the other party had already successfully established their foundation before him?!
"Master... Uncle-Master, you may not know this."
"It's quite a coincidence that the person was also a disciple of Grandmaster Li Huayuan, just like my martial uncle..."
"Perhaps my martial uncle even knows him~"
The ugly man originally wanted to say "Junior Brother," but quickly changed his words to "Senior Uncle," perfectly demonstrating the strict hierarchy in the cultivation world.
"Also a disciple of Master?"
"What's his name...? Tell me! I might actually know him."
Han Li was curious.
"Reporting back to my martial uncle~"
"Two months ago, Martial Uncle Qin Fang also successfully established his foundation in this Earth Fire House!"
"It really startled the younger generation at the time, and they couldn't speak properly for a long time."
The ugly man answered.
Qin Fang?!
What a coincidence!
...Meanwhile, in the market town of Ling Shou Shan in the Yue Kingdom.
A cultivator from Huangfeng Valley in the early stages of Foundation Establishment was standing in front of a spirit beast shop.
